In an ordinary house in the northeastern city, Terauchi Shouichi was staring at Onizuka, who was sweating profusely at this time, and he stood in front of Terauchi Shouichi, his body shaking like a sieve.

Onizuka was so frightened that he stammered: "Your Excellency Captain, I, I, I, my subordinates are not effective in combat, and the troops of a squadron not only failed to recapture the water tower, but were also defeated and retreated by the Chinese army, and there are only more than 30 people left, which is really, really insulting to the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, please kill me, Your Excellency the Captain!" ”

At this time, the combat weapons of the Japanese army were extremely monotonous, soldiers were rarely equipped with grenades in addition to rifles and bayonets, as for what grenadiers and mortars were not at all, in history, the Japanese army was fully equipped with grenadiers and mortars that was more than ten years later, and now these things do not even have a shadow, and the equipment of the Chinese army is almost equivalent to the early equipment of the US army during World War II, at this time the Japanese army equipment and the Chinese army are not comparable at all, there are artillery in the Japanese army, but the Japanese do not dare to drag out the artillery, Worried about being bombed by the Chinese Air Force.

Shouichi Terauchi snorted coldly when he heard Onizuka's words: "Hmph, do you want my knife to kill you?" Are you still a samurai? If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility, what is your own katana for? ”

Hearing this, Onizuka's face suddenly turned even paler, and his body trembled even more, and after a while, he bowed to Terauchi Shouichi and saluted: "Hey, Onizuka has decided to cut himself by caesarean section to thank His Majesty the Emperor, and ask His Excellency the Captain to be my wrong person!" ”

Shouichi Terauchi stared at Onizuka for a few seconds and said, "Yo Xi, then you can start now." Right here, I'll be your mischief. Sending you off for the last ride, you need to prove your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Hey!" Onizuka is extremely frightened in his heart. But under Terauchi Shouichi's aggressiveness, he had to grit his teeth and agree, and he didn't expect Terauchi Shouichi to want him to die now.

It's wartime now, and the ritual of disembowelment is as simple as this, Onizuka took off his military uniform and spread it on the ground, then took off his white shirt and tore off a strip of white cloth and tied it to his forehead, kneeling on his military uniform with his bare body, he raised his short knife and pulled it out and threw it into the scabbard, his hands kept shaking, and the muscles on his face kept shaking. There was a look of extreme horror in his eyes.

Shouichi Terauchi stood in front of Onizuka, seeing that he had been hesitating with a katana in both hands, and he didn't have the courage to stab it at all, so he yelled: "Do it, are you afraid of death?" Is your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor fake? You coward! Coward! ”

Onizuka was stimulated, and Terauchi Shouichi's extremely insulting words kept lingering in his mind, and he couldn't help it, his face was hideous, and his expression was extremely terrifying. He screamed, stabbing himself in the abdomen with a short knife in both hands.

At this moment, Shouichi Terauchi suddenly pulled out his knife and picked away the short knife in Onizuka's hand, Onizuka looked blankly at his empty hands and looked up at Shouichi Terauchi in front of him. "Your Excellency ??????? Captain"

Shouichi Terauchi said as he said that the knife was inserted into the scabbard, "Although you are a little cowardly, you are now brave. You have proved your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor with your actions, and you have proved that you are a warrior who is not afraid of life and death. Get up, now is the time for the Empire to employ people. You should keep your useful role as the emperor's allegiance! ”

Onizuka escaped death, thanked Terauchi Shouichi Dade, and hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you Your Excellency, Captain, I will be your eternal loyal subordinate, that ?????? What about the water tower? ”

When Terauchi Shou heard this, he said coldly: "The commanding heights of the water tower control the entire northeast city, and the Chinese army occupies it to the death, which will suppress us all the time, and we must take it back!" ”

"Hey!" Onizuka Lizheng bowed his head and hesitated: "Your Excellency, Captain, we have already suffered heavy losses there, if we send people again, will we have to pay more casualties?" Is it worth it? I don't think it's worth knocking it down without artillery! ”

"Yaga, what do you know?" Terauchi Shouyi was furious and shouted: "This water tower supplies drinking water to our urban area, if it collapses, we will have to retreat if we can't hold out for three days, because people can go without eating for three days, but they can't go without drinking water for three days, the Chinese army doesn't have to worry about drinking water, they can get water from outside the city, but we can't, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that if the city on our side is lost, then the Chinese army will be able to outflank and attack the southeast city from this city to the east, The Chinese army has already taken control of the eastern retreat to the island of Honshu, and under the attack of the two sides, the southeast city will soon fall, do you think about the consequences? ”

Onizuka was covered in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said, "Hey, my subordinates know their mistakes!" ”

At this time, a staff officer walked in and said, "Your Excellency the captain, the joint captain sent someone to send an order!" ”

"Let him in!"

In addition to the Chinese military, the volume of wireless transmitters in other countries at this time was still very large, and even in the Japanese army, only the command headquarters at the wing level was equipped with radio transmitters, and the command departments below the brigade and the brigade could only send heralds to convey orders orally!

A second lieutenant officer walked in and saluted Terauchi Shouichi and said: "Your Excellency the Captain of the Temple, Your Excellency the Wing Commander ordered me to convey the order, and after receiving the order of His Excellency the Commander, the commanding heights of the water tower have been controlled by the Chinese army, and your troops have suffered heavy casualties in order to recapture the water tower, and if you really can't take it back, you can wait for the opportunity to destroy it with artillery, and you must reserve enough drinking water before destroying it!" ”

"Understood, you go back and tell Your Excellency the Wing Captain that Shouichi Terauchi still wants to try it once, and if it really doesn't work, destroy the water tower with artillery!" Shouichi Terauchi said to the second lieutenant officer.

"Hey!" The Japanese second lieutenant agreed and turned away.

At this time, Terauchi Shouichi turned around and said to Onizuka-kun: "Onizuka-kun, do you still have the guts to fight against the Chinese army now?" ”

Looking at the murderous and hidden eyes of Shouichi Terauchi, Onizuka couldn't help but shudder, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Hi! ”

Terauchi Shouichi said slowly: "Okay, I'll give you another chance, how many people are there in your squadron now?" ”

"There are forty-two combatants and more than twenty non-combatants!"

Terauchi Shouichi: "I'll give you two more squads, and take all the rest of your people to attack the Chinese army occupying the water tower once, this time if it doesn't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you don't have to come back to see me, understand?" ”

"Hey!" Onizuka Tatsumasa bowed his head and turned away to prepare.

After Onizuka left, Shouichi Terauchi thought for a while and shouted outside the door, "Someone! ”

A second lieutenant officer walked in and bowed his head and said, "Hey, what do you command?" ”

Shouichi Terauchi raised his hand and said: "Immediately upload the order of the captain of this brigade, and the soldiers hidden in each household immediately open the water pipe in the house where they are located, and use all the containers to receive water, and take as much as they can!" ”

"Hey!" The Japanese lieutenant said yes and turned away.

At this time, Mao Dayou, who was resting on the water tower, felt a little thirsty, so he asked his two companions to be on guard, he climbed to the top of the water tower to find water to drink, originally there was water in his kettle, but the water in the kettle was poured with machine guns in the previous war, and the machine guns were easy to get stuck after firing for a long time, and they had to be kept cooling down with cold water.

Mao Dayou lay on the top of the water tower, stretched out his hand to hold the water and prepared to drink, but found a very strange phenomenon, there is a wet water line on the inner wall of the water tower, there is no wind and no waves in this water tower, how can there be a wet water line? The only explanation is that there is less water, and this water tower must have been built here to supply water to the surrounding residents, but now that there is a war, the residents have long run out, who can use water? The answer is about to come out, only Japanese soldiers!

Mao Dayou immediately turned around and shouted below: "Squad leader, squad leader!" ”

Hao Jinsong, the squad leader, ran in from the corner and looked up and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Mao Dayou shouted to Hao Jinsong below: "There is less water in the water tower, and the Japanese are releasing water from the water pipe, and it is decreasing very quickly!" ”

When Hao Jinsong heard this, his brain flashed, and he slapped his head and scolded himself in his heart, why was he so stupid, he didn't even think of turning off the valve of the water tower, he immediately shouted: "Quick, close the valve, close the valve!" ”

"Okay, close it right away!" Mao Dayou agreed, climbed down the valve and closed the valves of all the water pipes.

Two minutes later, Hao Jinsong ran over with two soldiers each carrying a few buckets to pick up water, and Mao Dayou asked very strangely: "Squad leader, what are you doing here?" Do we need water? The water tower is so close, you can use it whenever you want! ”

Hao Jinsong shook his head when he heard this: "I feel very bad, why is the water in this water tower so fast?" I suspect that this is the Japanese storing water, and they are afraid that we will close the valve of the water tower, or they will not be able to take back control of the water tower, so they can only find a way to destroy it, but they must reserve enough drinking water for their soldiers before destroying it. Now that we close the valve, the Japanese will have no water, they won't last a few days, but they certainly don't want us to have water to drink, so we have to find a way to destroy it, if the Japanese have artillery, it won't be difficult to destroy it! ”

Mao Dayou took off his helmet and scratched his scalp and said: "But if the Japanese destroy it with artillery, it will be useless for us to catch water, and since the water tower has been destroyed, there is no point in us staying here!" ”

Hao Jinsong said: "Then do you think we can easily return from the same way?" The Japanese will willingly let us go, and I guess the streets on the way back must be full of obstacles and heavy sieges, and if we can't go back, the higher authorities may order us to hold on again or cooperate with the friendly forces outside to make some moves inside the enemy, and then we must stock up on enough water! ”

"Got it!" Mao Dayou nodded, but remembered again, "Oh, if the Japanese really want to destroy the water tower, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go up there?" ”

Hao Jinsong waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, the Japanese can only use artillery, do you think artillery can hit so high at a long distance?" Unless they push their guns closer and fire them with self-aiming, but you can spot them the first time they appear, and kill them with a machine gun! ”

"Ha, how did I forget this, now I'm relieved." (To be continued......)
