Masao Hashitaka would never have imagined that he would be captured until he died, and that he was captured by a group of Chinese troops who were almost besieged and eaten by himself.

For Masao Hashi, who has embraced bushido ideas since childhood, being captured is the greatest shame of a soldier.

He even fantasized many times about what it would be like to die in battle, either to be shot through the chest, or to be stabbed in the heart by the cold bayonets of the other side, or to be blown up in a bombardment and attack.

If that were the case, his comrades-in-arms would have picked up his remaining bones and burned them into ashes, packed them in a delicate ceramic jar, wrapped them in white cloth, and hung around their necks to take them back to the shrine.

Perhaps at that time, his comrades-in-arms would line up on the deck on the return journey and sing the familiar melody for him: "How calm the comrades-in-arms look now." O cross star of the sea and sky of Malacca, which has been attacking day and night, has gazed at the star with you. Embracing the ashes of a comrade-in-arms ......"

It's just that all of this is now impossible. Dozens of minutes earlier, he had led his troops to besiege the trouble-making Chinese commando.

Masao Hashitaka is very good at commanding small-scale troops. After figuring out the location of the Chinese commandos, he did not rush to attack, but spread his nets to close the circle, and then used grenadiers and mortars to suppress long-range fire, followed by the infantry leaping forward alternately under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire.

It has to be said that this method is very effective, and the good individual quality of the Japanese soldiers has also been fully reflected here. Soon, they forced the death squad led by Zhu Jingxing into a reinforced concrete building.

The Japanese set up light and heavy machine guns around this to form a firepower network, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns kept spitting out tongues of fire, and the * of the grenadiers fell one after another, blasting the gravel around the concrete door and flying wildly, and the only exit was crushed to death.

The footsteps of the Japanese infantry swished forward, and the pigskin shoes made a croaking sound on the concrete floor. Zhu Jingxing picked up the *, and single-handedly shot the drum and bullets out through the crack of the door, but soon attracted the Japanese army's firepower retaliation, and the crackling bullets shuttled over and hit the * in his hand, and the grab handle was deformed, and he was numb in shock!

"Head, it looks like it's almost there, Company Commander Li should have a good deal." Hu Liqun walked over to Zhu Jingxing. After Zhu Jingxing found out that the Japanese army had sent a large-scale force to search, he decided to lead the team to lure them away, and Li Defu led another team of brothers to dismantle the * buried by the Japanese army.

"It's about the same, but it's going to be hard for us to get out." Zhu Jingxing smiled bitterly, then took out the cigarette that was almost crumpled from his pocket and lit it in his mouth, his sharp eyes scanning the last few brothers who followed him.

He let out a puff of smoke and slowly looked up at the ceiling. Through the huge glass window, he saw the starry sky outside. Pastor Sean once told him that God had been watching them there, and I wonder if God saw this scene?

Zhu Jingxing took off the watch on his wrist and put it in his pocket, this watch was the first watch in his life, it was given to him by his close friend Huang Zhengzhong, and the watch was very accurate.

"There is no way back, only rush!" Zhu Jingxing threw away the cigarette butt, took out the broken Thomson* drum, and threw the scrapped gun to the ground.

The footsteps of the Japanese army's pigskin shoes outside kept coming, and the faces of several brothers inside were full of fortitude.

"Rush!" Zhu Jingxing picked up another * and fired at the door in a flash. Several* roared wildly, and the hot shells scattered like beads with broken threads. The concentrated * instantly formed a tight firepower network, and the few Japanese soldiers who rushed in front were suddenly beaten to the flesh and blood, and fell backwards heavily.

Knock knock! Just when Zhu Jingxing and the others were determined to die, a series of rocket artillery sounds sounded in the Japanese camp, and according to the reputation, a large number of expeditionary officers and soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms were heard.

It turned out that this was the vanguard of the special service battalion, who broke through the Japanese defense line ten minutes ago and began to attack the interior of the airfield. After hearing the gunshots here, they knew that the death squad was surrounded, so they hurried over to relieve the siege.

Several rockets exploded in succession in the rear of the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to suddenly become in chaos, and the death squad and other brothers of the special service battalion took the opportunity to encircle, and the Japanese army was crushed. And the commander of the Japanese army, Takashi Masa, was also fainted to death by these * bombings, and he was captured.

After a night of fierce fighting, Tonggu Airport returned to the hands of the expeditionary force. And because of the decisive handling of Zhu Jingxing and the death squad brothers, the Japanese army was not able to blow up the airport.

After the recapture, Tonggu Airport was restored after a simple repair, and the transport planes from Lashio continued to bring various materials and supplies to load and unload here, and the original chaotic order was restored.

Tonggu's insistence not only exceeded the expectations of the Japanese army, but also surprised the Chinese-American and British allied headquarters in Burma. The force of more than 10,000 people actually blocked the iron hooves of the 18th Division of the Japanese Tiger and Wolf Division, which was in stark contrast to the British troops who had been defeated all the way on the Western Front. Because war correspondents Su Hui and Pat were on the Tonggu front, and the situation of the Tonggu Battle was also reported by the American and European media for the first time, the New York Times said that in the Burma Campaign, the performance of Chinese soldiers gave the world hope; Allied Chief of Staff Stilwell praised the expeditionary force as "the most resolute soldier!" ”

Tonggu's insistence was naturally expected by Huang Ke, and he telegraphed Sun Liren to gather his forces in the direction of Tonggu, so that he could start a battle with the Japanese army in Tonggu.

Immediately after receiving the order, Sun Liren left for Mandalay to hold talks with Stilwell and the British commander. On the plane, Sun Liren and Chief of Staff Fang Xiazhong discussed some matters of the talks.

"In any case, the British can't count on it, they want to retreat to India as soon as possible, and Burma doesn't seem to want to defend it. Therefore, the main purpose of this negotiation is to negotiate with the United States, after all, the Americans are the owners of aid. Sun Liren walked over and poured Fang Xiazhong a beer.

Fang Xiazhong took it and didn't drink it, he frowned, "Nanjing also means this, asking for more assistance from the Americans will also help us to enter Burma in the future." ”

Sun Liren took a sip of beer and said: "Not only aid, the most important thing at the moment is to try to get the Americans to send part of the United Air Force to Tonggu. I have already talked to Division Commander Dai, and a squadron will be sent to Tonggu Airport first to ease the air pressure on their side. ”

Fang Xiazhong nodded, "This idea is good, but Americans may not necessarily listen to us." ”

Sun Liren raised the beer glass to the position of his eyebrows, carefully observing the rising bubbles inside, "If you can fight for it, you will fight for it, and if you can't fight for it, we will report to Nanjing." Although this air force is mainly American, it is a joint air force after all. I'm sure Stilwell should understand that only we can hold Burma right now. ”

"Is there any statement from Nanjing?" Fang Xiazhong was still very concerned about this, after all, Nanjing was their direct superior.

Sun Liren disagreed, "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Besides, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee also stressed to me that as long as we ensure that our interests are not harmed, we will not interfere with how we fight him. ”

After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and said to Fang Xiazhong: "Come, cheers!" The chairman's business has been doing well lately, and the beer is getting better and better. ”

Fang Xiazhong also picked up her wine glass and smiled.

……

The capture of Takamao Hashishi was a pure accident, and the brothers of the death squad and the special service battalion were also credited with it. Counted, this is the first Japanese soldier captured by the Allies since the Japanese invasion of Burma, and the military rank is not small, he is a lieutenant.

At the end of the battle, some of the excited brothers wanted to kill Masato Hashishi to avenge the sacrifice of so many brothers. Fortunately, the commander of the special agent battalion ordered Zhu Jingxing to take someone to take care of him, which saved half of this guy's life.

And after waking up, Takashi Hashio found that he was captured, he tried to break free and escape several times, but after failing that, he deliberately angered the soldiers of the expeditionary force who escorted him, wanting to seek to be killed. However, Zhu Jingxing got a lot of * from the medical soldiers, and then tied him up, and at the same time stuffed a towel into his mouth, so that he could not commit suicide.

Hashitaka Masao was escorted back to Tonggu by the Five Flowers, and after he had no effect on persuasion, Commander Dai ordered a public trial of him, and then shot him.

Zhu Jingxing's job during this period was to guard Qiao Takashi Masao. Masato Hashishi was held in a cell in the former Tonggu Prison, where three shifts of soldiers were on duty every day. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, the walls of the room where he was imprisoned were made of soft bags, and food and everything was provided according to the standards of lieutenant colonel officers.

At first, Hashitaka Masao also went on a hunger strike to protest, but when he knew that Zhu Jingxing, the person who was guarding him, was the one who captured him, he began to return to normal and began to eat.

The day before his trial, when he knew that his time was near, he made an unprecedented request to the guards to meet with the officer who had captured him. He said that if his request could be met, he would confess and repent on the spot.

Although there were some doubts about his motives, after the report, Master Dai gave instructions and asked Zhu Jingxing's own opinion before making a decision.

After Zhu Jingxing heard that Hashitaka Masao wanted to see him, he agreed to the request and decided to meet Hashitaka Masao.

What Zhu Jingxing didn't know was that Hashitaka Masao had sharpened a chopstick and quietly hid it on his body.
