Nogi Noshinori's order reached the hands of Mizuta Mingyuan through a telegram, although Lin Yuan's troops intercepted the telegram, but it was not deciphered, Mizuta Mingyuan got the telegram and said to Aso Anren: "Okay, let's prepare to retreat, Aso-kun, go and dispose of those wounded and sick, but before dealing with them, we need to arrange a retreat plan first!" ”

Aso Anren said: "Okay, then let's discuss how to retreat, first of all, we have to determine our way of retreating, the railway must not be used, because Lin Yuan's troops occupied the railway, so we can only choose the road, from Qingjin to Jizhou There are two large highways that are directly connected, one is called Highway No. 1, and the other is called Highway No. 2, and we will use these two highways to make a strategic turn." ”

Mizuda Mingyuan said: "If we take the road, we will definitely be blocked by Lin Yuan's troops, but fortunately they don't have many troops, we should be able to break through the encirclement!" That's how I arranged it, Kumamoto-kun! ”

After hearing this, Mizuta Aketo turned his head to look at Kumamoto Shoichi, Kumamoto Shoichi suddenly puffed up his chest, and Mizuta Aketo said: "Kumamoto-kun, your chariot wing should not break through with our large army, you and the Akutagawa Wing of the Seventh Division will take Highway 1 together, the purpose is to attract the attention of Lin Yuan's troops to Highway 1 and cover our large army to break through to Highway 2, understand?" ”

As soon as Kumamoto heard this, he said loudly: "I understand, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare separately, the specific retreat plan, including covering in batches, etc., just leave it to our staff officers to do." ”

The three of them then separated, Mizuta Mingyuan found a herald and asked him to tell everyone that there was no food and was ready to retreat, and Aso Yasuhito came to the military hospital, and the wounded and sick Japanese soldiers inside were greatly encouraged to see the division commander coming in person, and struggled to stand up to welcome Aso Yasuhito.

Aso Anren came to a large ward where hundreds of people were lying, all of them were seriously wounded, either missing arms or legs, Aso Anren said loudly: "Do you know about the explosion of our granary by Lin Yuan's troops? ”

Everyone shouted loudly: "Of course I know the way! "We want revenge!"

Aso Yasuhito said: "Now that our large army is about to retreat, we have to break through the layers of interception of Lin Yuan's troops on the road, and the vicious battle will be one after another, our food and manpower are not enough, what do you say?" ”

When an officer heard this, he immediately understood Aso's overtone, and immediately stood up and shouted: "I am willing to disembowel, not to be a burden to the imperial army, please give me a saber from the division commander." ”

When Aso heard this, he immediately shouted, "This is our real samurai!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took off the saber on his waist, although the Japanese army officers had standard swords, but they also allowed officers to carry their own swords, so the officers, especially the senior officers, all wore knives forged by famous artists, and Aso Yasuhito, as the commander of the division, how could the knife on his body be ordinary!

When the officer saw Aso Yasuhito's saber, he trembled with excitement all over, and said: "The division commander can actually lend me a saber, even if I am disemboweled ten thousand times, I am willing!" ”

The other wounded and sick were inspired by this officer and said: "Division commander, we are also going to disembowel, please give us a saber by the division commander." ”

Aso then turned back to his subordinates and said, "Go and borrow the swords of the officers, and let these imperial samurai sacrifice their lives to His Majesty the Emperor!" The seriously wounded soldiers cheered when they heard this, but the veterans in their thirties were stunned, and tears couldn't help but flow, these veterans are all old and young, and they are naturally reluctant to sacrifice themselves for His Majesty the Emperor, but they have no choice, everyone does this, what can they do?

So Aso Anren asked people to arrange for the wounded and sick to commit suicide by caesarean section, and he also instructed his subordinates to make the ceremony of caesarean suicide more solemn, and then Aso Anren left the house, intending to return to the headquarters, at this moment, he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the side: "General, general!" ”

Aso turned his head in the direction of the voice, and saw two Japanese soldiers grabbing a woman's arm and holding her down, while the woman was desperately trying to break free of the two soldiers and then ran to him. Aso Anren looked at the woman's dress, and saw that she was wearing a black coarse cloth dress, and she was definitely not a doctor or nurse in the hospital, so Aso turned his head and asked the director of the field hospital: "Who is she?" ”

The dean said, "It should be the women's standing team." ”

Aso Anren frowned and said, "Women's standing team? What for? ”

Then an officer approached him and whispered, "It is a party of women who help with odd jobs in hospitals and barracks during the day and comfort our samurai at night." ”

Aso Yasuhito said, "Comfort our samurai? Isn't that women's standing up team a comfort team? ”

The officer said: "They are still different from the comfort team, the women of the comfort team are basically not voluntary, most of them are North Koreans, but they are voluntary, from our country." ”

Aso Yasuhito nodded and said to the officer: "I see, go and tell the soldier, don't stop the woman, let her come to me." ”

The officer then went over, and in a short time he brought the woman over, the woman looked very young with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and Aso looked at the woman for a while, and couldn't help asking, "You should not be more than twenty years old." ”

The woman said, "Yes, I will turn 20 in June this year. ”

Aso asked, "What's your name?" Why are you here? ”

The woman replied: "My name is Ami Hashino, and I came here to contribute to the Holy War of the Empire, and Ami is a woman, and she cannot fight on the front line with a gun, so she can only stay behind and comfort our holy war warriors." ”

Aso Yasuhito nodded and said, "Very good, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Ami Hashino said: "I heard that we are retreating, the way to retreat is very dangerous, I want to help the samurai of the empire retreat!" ”

Aso Yasuhito smiled, "How can you help the imperial samurai retreat?" ”

Ami Hashino said, "I can help the samurai resist Lin Yuan's troops. ”

Aso Anren smiled secretly in his heart: "How did you resist Lin Yuan's troops, did you strip naked and seduce them?" But on this occasion, Aso Yasuhito couldn't say such a thing, but said, "What way do you have to resist Lin Yuan's troops?" Little girl, fighting a war is not a game. ”

Ami Hashino said: "The sisters of our women's support team were very moved when they heard the story of the automobile attack team, so we wanted to take the bomb to Lin Yuan's troops, and then detonate the bomb among them, and exchange our lives for the lives of more people!" ”
