Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Thousand Men Section 3: Prince of Peace

Wait a minute! The puppet army hasn't finished yet! He said that in addition to those villagers on the wheat field at the edge of the village, there are still in the village!

The wheat field is all picked out for labor, the old men of Qingyishui, there are still many ordinary people in the two large courtyards in Zhuangzi, all of them are old and weak, women and children, more than the people in the wheat field.

Yang Bangzi was stunned, why didn't this situation be detected? The militia captain didn't say anything?

Called over to the captain of the militia on the upper and lower river beach, when he asked, he didn't know what was going on, they just escorted the people on the river beach to Beishan, and then returned to chase them to Xiwangzhuang, there were many devils, and they didn't dare to enter the village, and they thought that the people on the river beach were all fighting in the wheat field.

After asking the puppet army again, I realized that the hundreds of people in Hetan Village who dared to do so, as well as the villagers who were arrested by devils in the mountains from the east and south, all got here.

The puppet army said that their company commander said that there was a mission to go out of the village in the middle of the night, but he didn't say anything, and it would be difficult to name him.

Without further ado! Can't delay any longer! I've been fighting devils for so many years, and the little devil can guess what he wants to pull when he pouts his ass! It is necessary to find a place for the old, weak, women and children who can't do labor, and all of them will be killed!

All the people were summoned, and Director Cheng led the prisoner detachment and radio personnel to escort the devil captives on the west mountain, and immediately reported the situation of the large devil army in the area of Xiwangzhuang to the military region, and notified the logistics department and repair center of the military camp town.

Yang Bangzi divided the manpower, and Lao Feng led a row down the West Mountain, occupied the small mountain buns next to the road, and blocked the avenue leading to Niangzishen Village in the west of Xiwangzhuang Village, and after a while, the battle started. Good for the evacuated fellows.

Yang stick and Xiao Liangzi, shovel monkey and so on with two platoons. Bypass the river beach on the south side. They followed the earthen cliff to the bottom of the wheat field, and after a while, when a gun rang out in the village, they went to save people.

Lao Wuzi led a row of people, felt into the village from the muddy meadow in the north, found the courtyard where the devil was holding the villagers, and found out the location of the devil's headquarters, and made an appointment to act at 10 o'clock at night to hit his headquarters first. Then solve the devil who guards the villager.

As soon as the village made a move, Yang Bangzi and the others immediately rushed out to save people, and let the people in the wheat field go down the river beach and flee to the west, and Lao Feng in the west responded.

Then Yang Bangzi led people to storm the village, and then responded to the old five sons to rescue the villagers in the village.

Time is pressed and I can't think of a more haode way, there are only a hundred people at hand, Yang Bangzi also explained to Director Cheng, in case they are entangled by devils and can't come back, let Director Cheng take the devil captives to the military camp town first. Don't wait for them.

The work of rescuing fellow villagers is commonplace, and these people led by Yang Bangzi are all experts. Especially the people from the reconnaissance company that Director Cheng asked for from the old regiment, they were all holding their breath after the defeat of Yinfang Town, and they couldn't get along for a few days, so they had to take out their anger on these devils under the mountain!

Yang Bangzi also knew that fighting the devil command and cleaning up the devils guarding the yard was a very difficult job, so he assigned these dozens of reconnaissance companies to the fifth son.

At eight o'clock in the night, it was dark and transparent, and when they broke up on the West Mountain Beam, Yang Bangzi said to the two devil officers: "Little devils, as far as you devils are people, we Chinese are not individuals, we have to recognize you as bad as animals, let you see now, what are Chinese!" ”

Shimizu Daisa didn't care much about this sentence, in his eyes, the Chinese are dispensable, can be a laborer to keep their lives, can't work to keep and waste food, he 31 years to the northeast, has always pursued this idea, died under his hands and under the instruction of the Chinese ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say thousands.

It can be said that more than half of Dazuo's military rank was exchanged for the heads of unarmed Chinese people, so when he heard this Tu Balu and him say this, he just wanted to see how Balu attacked the villages defended by the imperial army, and he was not interested in those useless ordinary people!

And His Royal Highness the Prince is still different from a professional soldier like Shimizu Daisa, he entered the military circles, in fact, it was a political need, the entire empire was instigated by that fanatical atmosphere of war to lose its reason, and his family was inevitably involved, in order to show that the emperor and the people are one, almost all the male relatives of the emperor entered the army.

The prince himself is actually very disgusted with war and the army in his heart, he wants to be an ordinary scholar, like his university teacher, in books for the rest of his life, but unfortunately he was born in the royal body and can't help himself, let alone the ideal of being a scholar, marrying a daughter-in-law himself doesn't count!

In the winter of 1937, Prince Takahito Mikasa entered the Chinese battlefield for the first time, and for the first time as the emperor's envoy to Nanjing, the capital of China, which had just been captured by the Imperial Army, to carry out the propaganda work.

The prince not only went to the soldiers and officers to greet the emperor on their behalf, but also appeared at the designated location of the army to issue temporary security passes to ordinary Chinese people in Nanjing.

Before going to Nanjing, the prince had heard from his foreign friends about the massacre that had taken place in Nanjing, but the Japanese had a strict blockade of such news, and it was almost impossible to get accurate information from the War Department and the General Staff Headquarters.

And the prince, who originally wanted to find out the real situation in Nanjing, found that he was not much better than a prisoner when he arrived at the ground, the emperor's envoy! Even his old habit of riding a horse for an hour a day did not agree with the Nanjing garrison headquarters, citing that the city was not safe.

Although unable to leave the hotel and contact the Chinese, the prince found some clues about his worries, such as looking out of the hotel window, such a large city is so lifeless, there are hardly a few wisps of cooking smoke in the early morning, and there are no pedestrians on the street except Japanese soldiers.

And the disgusting smell that emanated in the air, lingering wherever he went, added to the suspicion in the prince's heart. When he asked Gu Shoufu, the commander of the Fifth Division, about this question, Gu Shoufu's evasive words and embarrassed expression that was difficult to conceal also showed that the military deliberately concealed the truth of the matter.

His Royal Highness the Prince is also a little temperamental, and in the following propaganda activities, he asked the division commanders of the 9th Division, the 16th Division, the 18th Division, and the 114th Division, and the results were all flickering answers, vague explanations, can there be no civilian deaths in the war? That's a very unanimous answer.

It was only when he went on a trip to Europe that he saw the photographs taken by German missionaries and British and American teachers, and the real situation in Nanjing in the winter of 1937 became clearer and clearer.

But what could he, a prince who was ostensibly glorious but in fact insignificant, do in front of the Imperial army at full speed?

This also prompted Prince Takahito Mikasa to turn to support peace in Japan from 1939, that is, to replace war with negotiations, especially not to bring unnecessary killings to the Chinese people.

However, this peaceful voice, which is still a little conscience, is too insignificant in the footsteps of the entire frenzied expansion of the Great Japanese Empire.

He was able to accept the invitation of his second brother and come to China again as a consolation envoy this time, with a selfish desire to collect the real Sino-Japanese war situation, and to see with his own eyes how the soldiers of the imperial army treated the Chinese in the occupied areas!

When this Tu Balu told him that he was going to save the people under the mountain, the prince looked at these Balu people who were in tattered clothes, weapons and equipment were simply different from the imperial army, and he was still very eager to know what Weishenme wanted to rescue? Didn't the Prime Minister and the War Department say that the Chinese people were in the middle of the road to welcome the arrival of the Imperial Army?

With different purposes, both Shimizu Daisa and His Royal Highness the Prince proposed to see the battle up close.

Director Cheng thought about it and decided to leave the prisoners and prisoner squad of the Black Dragon Society on the mountain, and he took the radio squad and a few soldiers to escort the two prisoners to Lao Feng's small earth bun guarded by them, which was not far from the village, the terrain was high, and the vision was broad.
