Chapter 55: Sunset (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
A soldier walked out of the dilapidated room, he was dressed as he walked, and there was a man kneeling beside him, the man was holding his son with grief and indignation, and when the sight of the soldier Lu came, the grief and indignation on his face turned into humble cowardice, he timidly lowered his head, and suppressed all the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the sun set, the figure of the Lu soldier became longer and longer, and when the Lu soldier walked to the village nonchalantly, on the mountain skin far away from the village, a young man was loading a small brass monocular into the barrel of the lens, and then picked up the somewhat worn Murata-style gun at his nonchalant feet.
Ono Ichiro, who picked up the rifle, aimed at the figure of the Lu Guobing, at this time the distance was very far, about nearly a kilometer away, so he didn't pull the trigger but just aimed at this person, what did this Lu Guobing do, he didn't care, the only thing he cared about was that this Lu Guobing was the enemy.
It was the invaders who occupied his homeland!
So, kill him!
Of course, for Ono Ichiro, he doesn't even care about this Lu Guo man, he is more concerned about the Betan rifle he carries than the Lu Guo soldier.
Thinking of the rifle in the other person's hand, Ono Ichiro looked towards the side of the road, where his cousin Keiichi Morito was hiding in the woods on the side of the road, waiting to pick up the weapon from the dead Lu Guobing.
"Ono, do you want to come closer? Wouldn't that be too far? Otherwise, forget it today! ”
Suddenly, Yamada, who was wearing a shabby military uniform next to Ono, said nervously, holding a katana in his hand. Like Ono, he was dismissed after surrendering, but Ono had a weapon in his possession. Yamada, on the other hand, obediently surrendered his weapon, but now, like Ono, he has become a resistance fighter.
And the so-called "resistance group" is only a dozen people and two guns, and today Ono brought them out to seize weapons from the Lu people.
"Forget it?"
Ono glanced at the enemy in the distance. Now it's a bit far away.
"No, if we miss the opportunity, the number of Lu Guomen on the road post will probably increase to five or six tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it then, if we can take the three rifles in the sentry post, we will go to the mountain, and no one will dare to despise us! ”
On the mountain in the mouth of Ichiro Ono. It refers to the guerrillas organized by former Japanese soldiers who are not willing to be slaves of the country. Unlike Ono Ichiro and others, most of them turned into the mountains after receiving the order to surrender and continued to resist the Lu Guoren, although there were not many people who were so brave, but there were still some, just like the nearby Shimada Rangers, who were also one of them.
And Ichiro Ono naturally wanted to join the Shimada Rangers. After all, it was a resistance army of several hundred men, and there were only a dozen of them. But he was unwilling to take refuge in them, and he would be despised by Shimada Shaosa, so he would bring people out to snatch weapons, and with five rifles as a force, he could naturally attract Shimada's attention.
"Well, why don't we come closer!"
Sighing, Ono Ichiro walked towards the foot of the mountain under the cover of the trees, while walking, his eyes kept staring at the Lu soldiers walking on the road, and when he walked to the foot of the mountain and lay under a big tree, the tree was surrounded by a circle of low mongrels, at this time he could already see the Lu Guobing, and saw the rifle on his back.
"Yaga!"
Ichiro Ono cursed on his lips, because the distance was too close.
"Yaga!"
Ono, who had already faced the Lu national soldiers, hid himself in the middle of the trees, and took a rifle in his hand and took a careful aim.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the Lu soldier fell, and the 11 mm lead bullet accurately hit the chest of the Lu soldier, almost when the Lu soldier fell, Sen Teng Jingyi rushed out, holding a katana and rushed out with a shout, but the face was only a dead man.
"Hurry up! Take his gun! ”
Ono Ichiro said with some pride, Okay, now that his organization has two rifles, it's time to attack the checkpoint, and then he will take people into the mountains and take root in Shimada Shaosa. When the time comes, people will call him Captain Ono, and they will respect him, and they will not despise him as much as they do now.
War is the sum of all evils, but it is also an opportunity for many people, at least for Ichiro Ono, who has a heroic dream and a reluctant heart, he sees war as an opportunity to change his identity, and he believes that war can bring him a change in identity, and he is willing to work for it.
In the bay, several wooden fishing boats rose and fell with the waves, and one fishing boat was rowing by the fisherman and the wind was driving out of the bay, and on the deck of the boat, a few guys who were obviously not fishermen were sitting.
"Yaga!"
Again, an angry curse came out of Ichiro Ono's mouth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness as he sat in the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the sea, and he could never have imagined that he would be subjected to such revenge - the Shimada Shaosa, whom he had always respected, instead of accepting his advice, wanted to attack the Lujun stragglers and sentry posts, but wanted to attack the town, which in Ono's eyes was simply looking for death.
"I really don't know what they think, can a few hundred people turn the tide? What if you take the town? It's not like it's going to be beaten by the Lu people...... What an idiot! ”
Complaining in his mouth, Ichiro Ono kicked the hull of the ship with hatred, he was appointed squadron leader because he went up the mountain with fifteen and eleven rifles, and now? He had to escape on the fishing boat and flee to North Korea and then to China.
Going to China, this is almost every exile's last choice, that is because there is no better choice except China, as exiles they will not go to the country of Western ghosts and animals, to endure the white eyes of those Westerners, so like everyone else, Ono Ichiro also chose North Korea.
Of course, one of the more important reasons was that Korea was so close to Japan that he could afford to ship - after all, as a squadron leader, he had commanded several attacks on "traitors". Several windfalls were seized.
"Squadron Leader, do you think they will have any surprises?"
When the words that seemed to be concerned came out of Sen Tengjing's mouth, his face was full of schadenfreude.
"Ahh It's true, it's not a pity that Shimada died, but it's a pity that the comrades of the Einsatzgruppen are all good men in Japan! ”
There was no pity in Ichiro Ono's pity, and even in his heart, he longed to see the news of the death of all the members of the Einsatzgruppen, and only in this way would his vision be proven. The so-called comrades are just the ones who were led to a dead end by Shimada, and even these people don't believe in their own retribution.
If they believed in themselves, they would not have been banished. How could it be...... Alas, what a bunch of damn guys! I hope to get to China sooner, maybe when he arrives in China, he can act as an instructor. It is even possible to meet an adult in China. Then with the support of that adult, when the time comes, Ichiro Ono can regroup and return to Japan again, and then ......
Fantasizing about returning to Japan again, Ichiro Ono stared at the sea with his eyes, looking at the waves and praying in his heart.
"I hope to get to China without any problems!"
"Sister Keiko, what will you do when you arrive in China?"
Inoue, who was standing next to the boat, looked at Sister Keiko beside her. There was a look of dependence in those eyes, ever since the day I had buried my parents. It was Keiko's sister who took care of him, and for a child who was only six years old, this dependence on adults was almost natural, but he apparently forgot that even the adult Keiko in his eyes was only a fifteen-year-old girl, and if it weren't for the invasion of the Lu people, maybe she would still be studying in a girls' school.
"Let's go to medical school!"
Keiko's tone was extremely firm, being a doctor was probably her greatest wish since joining the Resistance, and she had witnessed resistance fighters slowly bleeding to death because there was no one to treat them - only a very small number of doctors were willing to help the Resistance, and the vast majority chose to obey.
After the emperor announced his surrender and agreed to go to St. Petersburg, what was the point of resisting? How could those self-defeating resistance stop the occupation of Japan by the Lu people? Just as before the war last year, when people were indignant and excited about "10 million pieces of jade" in the newspapers, the newspapers are now full of articles advocating the "Russian-Japanese alliance" and the realization of the so-called dream of "breaking away from Asia and joining Europe."
Yes, faced with the reality of occupation, many Japanese chose to comply. Resistance no longer makes any sense, not to mention that the resistance of the state has failed, and now, it is time to face reality. Even after a few months of struggle, with many resistance fighters who were unwilling to face reality dying on the battlefield, and more importantly, with one resistance after another being annihilated by the Lu Guo Army, what alternative to obedience was left?
Just like Keiko, a former resistance fighter, the reason why she stepped on this passenger ship to China was precisely because of the failure of resistance, fortunately, she was just an ordinary fighter, not a well-known resistance commander, otherwise she would not have had the opportunity to get on the passenger ship at all.
Although she is going to China, Keiko still chose to be a doctor, as her profession, why did she choose this profession, maybe because deep in her heart, the war is not over, maybe the emperor has surrendered, maybe "Japan" as a country has disappeared, only the "Viceroyalty of Nicholas" remains, but in the future, there will definitely be tens of thousands of Japanese who are unwilling to be enslaved by the Lu country will choose to resist, they need doctors, they need doctors to bandage their wounds, and save the lives of those soldiers from the hands of death.
"Sister Keiko, you will definitely become the best doctor when the time comes!"
Inoue nodded solemnly, in his opinion, the beautiful and intelligent Sister Keiko is omnipotent. As a child, he couldn't understand the sadness on Keiko's sister's face, and he couldn't understand the difference between the tricolor and the sun flag, he just longed for the beauty that his sister had told him.
"Sister Keiko, is there really any particularly delicious food in China?"
For Inoue, compared to Keiko's expectations for China, his only expectation is only the food in his sister's mouth, which may be the most tempting.
China has particularly delicious cuisine, this is when his father was alive, the words he told Keiko, as a businessman, his father has been to China many times, and even because of this, Keiko will speak Chinese, although her Chinese is very stiff, but compared with her peers, she undoubtedly has a natural advantage, just like on this ship, you can always see Japanese who are trying to learn Chinese, their identities are different, there are doctors, scholars, soldiers and students, without exception, they are all exiles, compared to being the "Russian Empire" of second-class citizens, they prefer to travel to China.
At least the Chinese of the same language and the same species look the same as the Japanese, and more importantly, there are countless job opportunities in China, as long as you want, even if you are just a technical school student, you can find a job of tens of yen a month, and if you are a scholar, there will be several universities open to him. Even former Army and Navy members who have lost the war and are discriminated against at home can find decent instructor jobs in the military, and the pay is extremely good.
Even Chinese universities have opened their doors to Japanese students, and compared with the expensive tuition fees of Japanese universities, whether it is Northeastern University, Beiyang University, Liangjiang University, or Huguang School, all of them do not need to pay tuition fees without exception, and even Northeastern University will provide students with accommodation subsidies.
Expensive tuition fees and the exodus of teachers led to the decline of Japan's higher education institutions, which further contributed to the departure of young students from Japan for China, who were unaware that they were actually destroying decades of success in the Meiji Restoration.
Even as a former resistance fighter, Keiko's words are full of anticipation for the future.
"Taro, when you get to China, you don't just want to eat food, you also have to go to school and get into the best university in the future, you know?"
Keiko said this, her hands held the cold railing hard, although the sea breeze was a little biting, but for her, it was as if she didn't feel anything, just standing here quietly, standing on this crowded deck, staring into the distance, although there was no continent to be seen here, but the continent that once existed only in books was full of attraction to her and everyone on the ship.
"China ......"
Silently muttering this word in her heart, Keiko held Inoue's hand, and her delicate face showed a hint of expectation, and there was even some nervousness in anticipation. At the end of her sight, on the western horizon, the red sunset stained the sea and sky......
