Chapter 136: Recovering the Remains of Martyrs

In Nerima Town, twilight has just fallen, and the whole town has been surrounded.

In the town, you can still hear all kinds of laughter inside, as if something is being celebrated.

The remnants of the Guards Division in Nerima Town were all troops who had retreated from the failed attack on Odaiba that night, and some retired soldiers had been gathered and were lurking in Nerima Town.

Many of the ronins and institutions in the area were integrated by the Konoe Division, a town with a population of nearly 20,000 that had become the largest concentration of power in Japan on the edge of Tokyo.

The 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which had just taken control of Tokyo, had not yet focused their efforts on the outskirts of Tokyo, and had ignored the threat to the Corps here.

It's never too late to make amends.

Outside the town, on the main north-south road and the side of the railway, dozens of high flagpoles hang the body of Chi Guoguo, and lanterns are lit to illuminate these flagpoles at night.

In the silence of the night, troops surrounded the town from the perimeter, and the guard posts arranged by the Japanese on the periphery had already been brought down one by one.

At each flagpole, there are a dozen Japanese with guns, gathered around the fire, roasting the fire, eating, and drinking sake.

After completing the siege of the town, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and hundreds of Japanese scattered around the flagpole soon heard the movement of horses' hooves.

At the end of the road in the distance, it seemed that thousands of horses were galloping, and a group of war horses swept over like a torrent, and in just a few breaths, the war horses had already galloped in front of these Japanese.

"Enemy Attack"

A Japanese man in a military uniform hurriedly threw down the sake in his hand, shouted, grabbed his rifle quickly with both hands, and aimed at the cavalry who was rapidly approaching.

All the Japanese also grabbed their rifles, and in response to the more intense gunfire, the precise shooter lurking quickly pulled the trigger.

These Japanese, sitting on the edge of the fire with lanterns overhead, were excellent targets, and accurate marksmen hiding in the shadows took aim at them effortlessly.

The crisp gunfire was chaotic, and most of the Japanese didn't even have a chance to shoot, so they were quickly killed.

The cavalrymen who rushed over also used their horse rifles to kill the Japanese who were blocking in front one by one, and although it was very difficult to shoot immediately, it was difficult for the professional cavalrymen who lived on horses every day.

Soon, the Japanese who were woken up by the sound of gunfire in the town did not have time to come out to the rescue, and those Japanese who were guarding the flagpole outside the town had already been killed.

The cavalry quickly turned over and dismounted, untied the ropes from which the corpses were hanging, and carefully lowered the corpses one by one.

The bag containing the corpse was opened from the horse, and the corpses of his comrades were carefully packed into the bag, and then loaded onto the horse.

At the same time, all the Japanese in the town were also awakened by the sound of gunfire, and when they all ran out of the town, they saw a group of people collecting corpses in the direction of the town.

There was no need for an order, and most of the Japanese rushed out of the town with a whoosh.

Outside the town of Nerima, the corpses of his comrades were laid down, and the troops were able to attack with confidence.

Four heavy machine guns outside the town of Nerima formed a four-way intersecting network of firepower, firing from both sides of the town's entrance, towards the exit of the town, the trajectory just avoided the cavalry at the town's entrance, and every three bullets were followed by a tracer bullet, which was the fixed configuration of the Red Police Corps' machine guns.

In the darkness of night, tracer bullets can indicate the trajectory of the machine gunner more clearly, when the four machine guns fire at the same time, the dense tracer light is like a ray of light, and the dense rate of fire makes the rays pulled by the tracer bullet all connected together, as if four rays of light swept through the town.

A large number of Japanese who rushed out were instantly shattered, and the streets and the houses on both sides were sprayed with blood.

The heavy machine guns caused the killing, so that the Japanese in front of them, almost not a single complete corpse could be seen.

The wooden houses were also riddled with bullets from heavy machine guns.

And these four heavy machine guns only kicked off the battle to encircle and suppress Nerima Town, and the Third Division, which surrounded Nerima Town, arranged all the heavy machine guns in front.

A succession of heavy machine guns were placed around Nerima Town, approaching and firing wildly at Nerima Town.

The entire town of Nerima was soon covered by the terrible sound of machine guns, and a large number of houses on the outskirts of the town collapsed one after another under the frantic strafing of machine guns.

And the sound of machine guns did not mean to stop at all, and the four heavy machine guns at the entrance of the town that fired first were all red, and there was no intention of stopping.

Until there was a click, the bullet jammed, and the hot barrel could no longer withstand this high rate of fire.

However, the four machine gun crews did not mean to give up just like that, they familiarly removed the barrel, put the already faintly red barrel into cold water to cool down, replaced the machine gun with a new barrel, brought in an ammunition box, and loaded the new chain into the chamber of the machine gun.

The machine gun, which had stopped for only two minutes, hissed again, and at the feet of the machine gun crew, a large number of bullet casings were flying and almost drowning the ankles.

In the town in front, the Second Division was equipped with a total of hundreds of machine guns, firing two or three hundred thousand rounds of bullets per minute, but from all the officers and soldiers of the Second Division, no one felt sorry for these naturally.

In front of this town, there are still buildings standing, and there are lights illuminating, and the attack is not enough.

It wasn't until all the houses around the town had collapsed, and a few dozen houses in the center of the town remained, that the Second Division continued to advance.

At this moment, in the field headquarters of the Second Division, Major General Yi Chuan, the commander of the Second Division, was standing at the door of the headquarters, and there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the cavalry that had just attacked Lianma Town had returned.

The soldiers of the division headquarters guard battalion stepped forward to help pull the horses, and some soldiers helped carry down the corpses on the horses.

At the gate of the field headquarters, on the flat ground, the remains of each martyr were neatly placed, and there were soldiers who dressed these comrades-in-arms in their usual clothes, and there were people who put these comrades-in-arms who had arranged their appearance into the prepared coffins.

Yi Chuan calmly looked at all this in front of him, and when the faces he was familiar with were loaded into the coffin, he walked to each coffin with heavy steps, and quietly looked at every face inside.

"Close the coffin and see off your comrades." Soldiers dressed in regular uniforms covered the coffin in unison, and draped the prepared flag over the coffin.

It wasn't until this moment that Yi Chuan ordered viciously: "Guard battalion, follow me to Lianma Town, Lao Tzu is going to scrape those dogs alive." ”
