Chapter 257: The Life of the Slaughtered
readx; Listening to Tachibana Kio's words full of contempt, Muto Ichiro wanted to directly pull out his command knife, and then slash at Tachibana Kio's head, but in the end, Muto Ichiro still did not do it sensibly, because once he did that, what awaited him would be the same result, and it might even implicate his family.

"Muto-kun!" Just when Muto Ichiro was trembling deeply, a middle-aged man with the rank of Nakasa not far away was standing there waving at him.
After seeing the comer, Muto Ichiro took a sharp breath, calmed down his excitement, and hurriedly trotted all the way over, he still didn't have so much anger for his captain, after all, from the beginning of his graduation from the Army University as a soldier, he was under the captain, from warrant officer to captain, every promotion was strongly recommended by the captain, otherwise, no matter how outstanding his ability was, it would not be possible for him to be promoted so quickly.
"Captain!" Muto Ichiro respectfully saluted the captain Ono Saburo, and looked at him helplessly, this commander who took care of him like a father.
"Muto-kun, what's wrong? Did he go crazy again just now? Looking at Muto Ichiro's face, Ono Saburo knew that it must be Tachibana Kio who didn't do anything good, thinking of this, Ono Saburo also felt a little sorry for Muto Ichiro, his squadron was the strongest squadron in his own brigade, but now he was forced to protect that straw bag, and if he protected it, he would protect it, and he had to suffer from his anger every day, which made Ono Saburo feel very uncomfortable.
So Saburo Ono has to come to talk to Ichiro Muto every day and explain him, so as not to ruin his good future because of impulse, which is very tragic.
"Yes, Your Excellency Captain, he actually wants to capture Su Dao alive, I think he wants to be promoted and wants to go crazy." Muto Ichiro didn't hide anything, and directly told Saburo Ono about Tachibana Kio's idea.
"Leave him alone, sooner or later he'll pay for his ridiculous ideas." Saburo Ono said meaningfully, and then continued to speak: "Muto-kun, the troops of the Shina people have been found ahead, and the other party has already built trenches and other fortifications, and it seems that they are waiting for us. ”
"Oh? Let me see! When Muto Ichiro heard that he had discovered the Shina army in front of him, his heart instantly became nervous, and he didn't see the Shina people all the way, but now the other party was waiting for them there, which was hard for him not to think of the conspiracy.
Muto Ichiro followed Ono Saburo to a hillside, took Ono Saburo's binoculars and carefully probed the position of the Shina army in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed, and he was ready for battle? Give somebody a dose of his own medicine? Except for these two words, Muto Ichiro couldn't think of any other words at all.
"Your Excellency, I have a very bad premonition." After a long time, Muto Ichiro said heavily.
Muto Ichiro has participated in the battle is not one or two, and Muto Ichiro is also very clear about the atmosphere before the war, but this time he does not have that feeling, although he also has the feeling before the war, but Muto Ichiro always feels that the army on the opposite side has a feeling of not caring, of course, he does not believe that the army on the opposite side did not find out the arrival of the army.
So now that they have found out, they are still doing their own thing, doing what they should do, and there is no attitude of imminent war, the meaning of this is worth figuring out.
"Well, I had a bad feeling from the moment I entered Manchuria, it was too quiet along the way, and the reaction of the people here was completely different from that of the other armies, as if they didn't take us seriously at all." Saburo Ono nodded and said what he was feeling.
The army in front had stopped, there was a wing of troops in front of them, and there were countless troops behind them, there was no doubt that their company was the vanguard of this attack, and Ono Saburo's brigade was placed at the back of this wing because it wanted to protect Tachibana Kio.
However, Rao is like this, Ono Saburo's brigade is still at the forefront, and the troops of the two brigades in front of him can't stop the artillery fire of the people of China at all, and the artillery will not say that there are people in front of you, so I will not fight the people behind you, as long as I can see it, I will find an opportunity to shoot two guns, which is the case in the artillery of all countries.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Muto Ichiro asked with a frown.
"I don't know, I've asked His Excellency the Wing Commander, and he told us to stay where we are." Ono Saburo's heart is also not at peace, this matter is really strange, who would have thought that the people of Shina would be waiting for them here, and they would also build fortifications.
It doesn't look like it was recently fixed, so it was premeditated to let them in? The previous exchange of fire in the border area was only tentative, and the real blocking position was here?
Saburo Ono was very depressed, he couldn't think of what the hell was the Shina man doing? He gave up such a large land for no reason and retreated here. 500,000 troops should be more than enough for them to defend the entire area, and the strength they have shown in the border area proves that they are capable of holding it.
So why are they doing it? Conspiracy? It seems that it shouldn't be, from the large-scale evacuation of the people, the withdrawal of troops seems to confirm that this is the intention of the Chinese people, is it because their supplies can't keep up? Thinking about it, Ono Saburo could only attribute the reason for the retreat of the 99th Army to the issue of supply.
Because he couldn't think of any reason to make them retreat, in terms of strength, they could easily block the Yue army in the pass, and the Yue army would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to get out of the pass, or bypass it from Inner Mongolia and other places, but the people of China obviously also thought of it, and it was impossible not to send any soldiers to defend it.
Moreover, the troops stationed in Mongolia came at about the same time as them, and they did not find that there was a branch army defending there, could it be that they knew the actions of the army well? That's why the whole line was deliberately retreated before the arrival of the troops stationed in Mongolia? That doesn't seem likely.
Ono Saburo's doubts were not answered by anyone, and after the news of the discovery of the Huaxia army at the front was transmitted to the rear, the troops of the Yue Army, which were not in a hurry to advance, also instantly increased their speed, kept parallel to the previous wing, and formed a comprehensive confrontation with the 99th Army.
'Whoosh ......'
Just as the troops were rushing forward, there was a strange sound suddenly from the rear of the 99th Army, and the interval was very small, only less than a second, and soon, they saw something dragging a long flame rushing towards them.
Muto Ichiro looked at the more than ten flames in the air with some confusion, and secretly guessed in his heart what kind of weapon this was? Heavy artillery? Like, mortars? Ballistics doesn't seem to be like that. What the hell is that?
'Boom Boom Boom .....'
Sixteen rockets exploded in an area, each rocket echoed the others, and the shrapnel between the two crossed each other, and the devils in the middle of them were even more boneless.
The explosion of sixteen rockets formed a wall of fire tens of meters high, and the devils on both sides could not see the situation on the other side at all, and they did not know how big the scope of the explosion was.
After about a few minutes, the dust finally fell slowly, and the troops on both sides could see each other, but the scene in front of them made them dare not believe that the soldiers of a squadron who were originally walking there disappeared without a trace, and there were different craters on the ground.
"Your Excellency, Captain, a warrior of the Empire?" Muto Ichiro acted as a spit, looked at the area of the explosion just now in disbelief, and asked.
"The warriors are shattered, and their bones are gone." Saburo Ono said the situation with difficulty, and looked at Ichiro Muto with a little sadness, but after a long time, he didn't know how to speak.
Hearing that the warriors of a squad there were shattered in an instant, and there were no bones left, Muto Ichiro's heart suddenly chuckled violently, could it be that what happened to the 102nd Division before was true? A wing wiped out in less than half an hour? And they seem to be near Chengde, and now their location is also on the border with Chengde. Could it be that the people of China have built some secret weapon here?
That's why you deliberately brought them here, and then gathered together to destroy them? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it is impossible for the people of China to have such a strong firepower, this is not true. Muto Ichiro told himself in horror that this was definitely not true.
"Ichiro, there's actually one thing I'm hiding from you, and looking at the current situation, I think I should tell you." Ono Saburo thought about it, and felt that he might be dying soon, and there was no need to continue to hide it, this is retribution, he abandoned their mother and son twenty-five years ago, and twenty-five years later, his son died with Lao Tzu.
Anyway, he was about to die, and Ono Saburo didn't care about what to hide, he felt that it was time for Muto Ichiro to know who his father was, although he had never fulfilled his father's responsibilities for a day, but blood was thicker than water, and their relationship was undeniable. This is also the reason why Saburo Ono worked hard to cultivate and promote Ichiro Muto before.
Muto Ichiro followed his mother's surname, and his mother also said that his father had disappeared a long time ago, and usually did not mention this person, and Muto Ichiro rarely asked about it, and over time, his father was forgotten. Muto Ichiro seemed to realize something, and looking into Saburo Ono's eyes, he read that feeling of fatherly love, although it was only his own guess, he felt that it was believable.
'Whoosh ......'
A few minutes after the explosion, the overwhelming rockets swept in again, this time thousands of rockets attacked them at the same time, the sudden attack blocked Ono Saburo's next words, the violent explosion was terrifying, and the roar of the shells as they tore through the air seemed to want to tear through the last line of defense in people's hearts.
One rocket after another fell to the ground, and then there was a huge explosion, forming a powerful wall of fire, full of flames, shrapnel fragments, flying limbs, and blood that had been evaporated in an instant, and before the army could react, they lost more than half of their troops.
Of course, this is only the strength of the front line, and the troops who have not yet rushed over from the back are another matter, after all, the place is only so big, and those who can squeeze over have also come, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops are not just coming, it all takes time.
However, the rear of the army did not know what was happening in front of them, and thought that they had already handed in fire, and their commander also ordered his troops to move forward quickly, striving to join the battle group as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
