Immediately, Guo Jiefang and the others all ran over and asked Niu Jianjun in a gossipy manner, what happened? Niu Jianjun then told everyone about what he had just seen about the people. Guo Jiefang took a torch and shone it inside the fork in the road, and said to everyone: "Let's go in and have a look!" ”。

The four of them walked into the fork in the road, and the fork in the road was haunting, and they didn't know where it led! The four of them walked a short distance before they found a highly decomposed corpse. The corpse leaned against the wall, grinning and tilting its head! When everyone saw the dead body, they all walked around in disgust, only Niu Jianjun walked to the side of the corpse, took a careful photo with a torch, and then said to Guo Jiefang: "I said, Lao Guo, this is a big official, look at his collar badge ......!" ”。

Guo Jiefang took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that the neckline of the dead corpse was inlaid with Dazuo's military rank!

Niu Jianjun smashed his mouth, and said regretfully: "Why did this grandson die here with such a big official?" ”。 Li Yuanchao said with a serious expression: "It seems that all the people in this fortress can not escape......!" ”。

Niu Jianjun asked, "So who will be the person I saw just now?" Could it be that there is no one else here besides us? ”。

Guo Jiefang covered his nose, touched the dead man's pocket, and pulled out a notebook from it. The notebook was written in Japanese, Guo Jiefang turned a few pages and handed it to Huang Yaju, asking her to help see what was written in it!

Huang Yaju opened the yellowed notebook, and by the light of the "beep" fire above her head, she looked through it carefully, and said to everyone intermittently: "...... The person who wrote this diary...... His name is Benya Hariya, and he served in the 54th Brigade of the 13th Division, which records some of the circumstances after he was transferred to Niutoushan Fortress in the 19th year of Showa!

Guo Jiefang interrupted Huang Yaju's words and said, "What did you say was the name of the person who wrote this diary?" ”。

Huang Yaju raised her eyes and said, "The person who wrote the diary is called Benya Hariya, do you know this person?" ”。

Guo Jiefang took out the half of the map from his body and said, "Look, the back of this map also has this person's name!" ”。

Huang Yaju took the map, looked at the signature behind the map, and said in surprise: "This is the name of the same person, I didn't expect that we actually found the person who drew this map back then!" ”。

Li Yuanchao added with a strange expression: "It's a pity that he is dead and has become a dead corpse!" ”。

Niu Jianjun also said like a toothache: "You don't want to know, why did he die here when he knew where the secret exit of the fortress was?" ”。

Guo Jiefang was also confused, so he urged Huang Yaju to hurry up and translate. Huang Yaju said that there are too many things written in the diary, and it is too wasteful to translate page by page, so I will pick a few pages for you to translate, so she buried her head in the yellowed and brittle diary and translated: "April 3, Showa 19."

Today is the second day that I was transferred to the Niutou Mountain Fortress, and last night there were a few dark clouds on the horizon outside the fortress, and it rained lightly in the middle of the night! I lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night. There is always a lingering nostalgia in my mind, the mountains of my hometown, the rushing spring on the mountains, the old face of my mother, the tender little hands of the punnia, and the sad cherry blossoms that fall all over the courtyard, all of which appear clearly in front of my eyes on such a rainy night! How I miss my hometown, my family, and everything I know! But war, this abominable war, destroyed it all! No matter how strong these thoughts are, they are only silently buried in my dreams every night!

In the morning, Kurata reported that during the construction of the No. 2 roadway, a massive collapse had occurred. The accident resulted in the unnatural deaths of hundreds of workers in China. I listened to Kurata's report and felt that the situation was serious, so I decided to inspect the construction site myself! After all, those officers and gentlemen in the staff headquarters didn't give me much time!

Accompanied by Kurata, I took the armored train in the fortress and went around the vicinity of Datou Rock, and finally arrived at the scene of the accident!

The scene was extremely tragic, with severed limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood was like a spring, soaking out from under the rubble, gathering into a gurgling stream of blood. The amount of debris that collapsed was staggering, and the No. 2 roadway was completely blocked. If you want to return to work immediately, you must first remove these huge quantities of rocks, and according to my on-site estimates, it will take at least dozens of working days to complete this task!

I told Kurata about my estimates and concerns, but Kurata laughed heartily and said to me, "Benya-kun, you don't have to filter, I have ordered the engineer troops to plant explosives, and how to remove these obstructive stones!" ”。

Surprised, I asked Kurata, "What about those Shina people who didn't die?" Did they all blow up and die? ”。

Kurata smiled slightly, as if mockingly, and bowed to me: "Benya-kun, don't ask about this. Just wait another day and it'll be fully reopened as if nothing had happened! ”。

Although I hate Kurata's face, what he said is not wrong, what can I do? If I ask too clearly, my conscience will also be condemned, so I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, it turns out that Kurata's ridicule is not without reason! I still remember the top-secret telegram from the General Staff Headquarters, which asked me to take drastic measures to prevent all secrets from leaking out of the fortress, and clearly stated that we should be especially cautious in dealing with the labor land in China!

I sighed deeply and acquiesced to Kuradachi's decision. When there was land, I envied Kurata, and according to my long-term observation, this person named Kurata Takeo. Probably a heartless, soulless bastard! This kind of person is the most suitable person to live in today's world, and I think Kurata also understands this strength of his own and has taken him to the extreme! In short, at the mention of Kurata Takeo's ruthlessness in the 13th Division, everyone will shudder! With his blood-stained hands, Kurata has risen several ranks in a few years, and before he joined the army, he was just a street vendor in Kyoto! It seems that the war is not useless, it not only brings me endless pain, but also gives people like Kurata the opportunity to drill up the camp!

I looked at Kurata's iron-shaved cheeks, amazed at the sharpness of his chin, and for some reason suddenly remembered the towering bun on the woman's head! I told Kurata to clean up the scene as soon as possible, and turned around and walked back, but my mind kept thinking about Kurata's weird-looking long chin!

Back at the headquarters, I looked at the map of the fortress hanging on the wall in a daze, if it wasn't for today's accident, it was completely guaranteed to be completed by the scheduled date! But...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get irritable, picked up a cigarette from the table, and smoked it. Tobacco calmed me down, so I moved on to thought, "If you can't get back to work in a short period of time, you're in trouble!" The reminder messages from the General Staff Headquarters several times a day are really annoying enough! ”。

I took a big puff of my cigarette and snuffed the butt out of the ashtray, "Those guys at the staff headquarters are a bunch of nerds!" They think that fighting a war is like playing a house, all they need is a ruler, measure and draw on the battle map, and then they can win the battle with a little effort to come up with some kind of bullshit plan? I couldn't help but smile helplessly when I thought about this, what if I completed the project as planned? Can the empire really turn the corner?

As I stomped my steps, I remembered that before I came here, I had been drinking with Engami at the General Staff Headquarters, and he had said to me rather mysteriously: "Ben Ya-kun, do you know what the key point of this mission is? ”。 I smiled and replied, "Isn't it just to supervise the construction of Niutoushan Fortress?" ”。 Engami drank a little too much, and he patted me on the shoulder affectionately and said to me, "Old classmate, don't you understand? The war has been going on so far, and the winner has been decided! I can tell you ......". He suddenly became serious, and with a pair of triangular eyes, he looked left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then he lowered his voice and said to me, "This is part of the emperor's resettlement plan that has been planned in advance at the base camp!" ”。 I was taken aback and asked him, "You mean, the rumors are all true?" ”。 Yuanshang nodded vaguely, as if he regretted that he accidentally revealed the inside story that should not have been revealed, and said in a low voice: "You don't care about any rumors, in short, the staff headquarters has entrusted you with such an important task, which shows that the upper authorities have enough trust in you, you have to work hard......!" ”。

I have heard some rumors about the emperor's resettlement plan mentioned by Enkami, but the general content is that after comprehensively analyzing the current unfavorable war situation, the base camp unanimously believes that after sweeping the islands around Japan, the US troops are likely to land on the main island of Japan within one to two years, and then Japan and the United States will break out in an even more tragic Armageddon! In order to ensure the absolute safety of the emperor during the decisive battle, so as to facilitate a long war! The headquarters specially ordered the construction of several large military fortresses in Manchukuo and its surrounding areas, and the transfer of a large number of machinery and materials, so that when the war situation was unfavorable, the emperor and his dependents could be transferred and placed in Manchukuo, in order to rely on the mainland to resist the American attack from the sea, and then accumulate strength to regain control of the Japanese mainland!

When I think of this, I feel that the construction period cannot be delayed no matter what, and I must complete the whole project before the scheduled date! I then picked up the phone and was about to call Kurata, but Kurata's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he reported that it would take time for the explosives to be planted, and I told him to hurry up and report any situation at any time!

I put down the phone and walked outside the headquarters to see several soldiers smoking around the armored train. A short and fat soldier softly hummed a ballad from the Kyushu region, singing sadly and sadly, soaked with a strong sense of nostalgia! When the soldiers saw me, they threw their cigarette butts and saluted me!

As I walked, I thought sadly, "Yes, how kind the mountain songs of my hometown are!" Even in a foreign land, it can always stir up the most fragile heartstrings in people's hearts......! The soldiers behind him, for some reason, suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, and the laughter echoed in the Niutou Mountain Fortress like a whirlwind, adding a touch of living breath to this dark and cold fortress! I think tonight will be another sleepless night for me!
