Chapter Eighty-Eight: Hell in the Early Morning
"My lord, I see those three guys."
Just as Taro Hashimoto arrived at the prisoner of war camp with Robin and Will, Zhang Sixing and Tetsujiro Yamaoka also appeared behind them.
It was a "D" junction, and there were no Japanese soldiers nearby.
It's really a good opportunity, in the end, in China, even God helps Lao Tzu.
While thinking in his heart, Zhang Sixing took out his sniper-shot-rifle and prepared everything for shooting.
He was convinced that in just a few seconds, he could shoot the three escaped guys. Even in the vicinity of the Japanese prisoner of war camps, even if searchlights swept near them from time to time.
But because of the silencer, the gunshots, which cannot be heard at all beyond fifty meters, do not attract the attention of others at all.
At this time, he had already aimed at the short man among the three, believing that as long as he killed the Japanese soldier who escaped, then the two British soldiers would probably not be so bold to enter the Japanese barracks.
In this way, it may be possible to prevent two stupid British soldiers from running into the Japanese barracks to find their own death.
However, at the moment when Zhang Sixing was about to catch fire, a "clang" sound of cowhide shoes smashing to the ground came.
I'm a ...... Now it's a big deal.
What if the three guys who went in told the officer in charge here the real situation in the Sixing warehouse, and really attracted the Japanese army to attack the public concession.
With the British 6th Brigade?
Knowing that in the battle to open up the Yunnan-Burma Road, the British army in Southeast Asia was useless in the face of the Japanese army's attack, Zhang Sixing had no hope for the combat effectiveness of the British.
"My lord, let's go ......"
Tetsujiro Yamaoka, who was wearing a Japanese officer's uniform, quietly suggested to Zhang Sixing.
Listen to what he meant, venture to approach that group of Japanese soldiers, pretend to be Japanese officers, and take the three guys from them.
Looks like Tetsujiro Yamaoka doesn't have a bad idea...... No, the two of us are still officers, no matter what others think, if it were Zhang Sixing himself, he would definitely be suspicious in this situation.
"Shh......h
Tetsujiro Yamaoka made a gesture to silence him, and he had already decided in his heart to break into the Japanese prisoner of war camp.
Taro Hashimoto, Robin and Will didn't know that the three of them had just walked around the Ghost Gate.
It's just that the mood of the three of them is very different at the moment.
Taro Hashimoto just felt lucky in his heart that he escaped from the hands of the murderous demon king Tetsujiro Yamaoka and could become a member of the Great Japanese Imperial Court again.
And Robin and Will, who were tied up, regretted it in their hearts.
"Ah......h
Prisoners of war were tied to the stakes, some frightened, some angry, some yelling and some crying.
But whether the Japanese voice or the Chinese voice is not important to Will and Robin.
Now their hands are tied behind their backs with ropes behind their backs, and they are escorted by a group of Japanese soldiers to the officer's office.
And along the way, the cruel pictures they saw made their knees tremble, and even Will was scared to pee.
Through the miserable white glow of the searchlights that flickered constantly, it was possible to see the Chinese soldiers in various military uniforms, constantly busy under the bayonet guard of the Japanese.
I don't know how long they've been working, and they're all staggering like the walking dead, their eyes glazed.
Even so, from time to time Chinese soldiers were taken away by the Japanese.
Not to rest, of course, but to the new Marines here, who are using them as targets for bayonet practice.
"Robin, did you see it, did you see it, these bastards ......"
Despite being scared by the crotch of his pee, Will turned pale and asked Robin in a voice that seemed to be muttering to himself.
Compared to Will, Robin, who planned the entire escape plan, was more daring.
At the moment, he kept his head down, trying not to look at those terrible scenes, not to listen to those heart-rending sounds.
He hung his head and his eyes were only looking at the ground, and Will's inquiry only drew him half an answer,
"Perhaps...... Will, I mean maybe, you should start ......"
Speaking of which, it seems that he realized that it was because of his planning that they had escaped from a place where they were tired but life was free to another place that looked more like hell.
But he couldn't bring his regret close to Will, and he didn't want him to hate himself before he died.
"Oh my God, haven't these terrible Japanese heard of international law, don't they know ......"
At first glance, Will is a talkative person, and although he is scared to pee, he still keeps his mouth on his mouth. This annoyed Robin, who regretted that he should have chosen someone else to be his companion when he ran away.
Pretending to be pleasing to the eye, Robin said softly,
"Will, you idiot, I'm afraid we'll turn them off if you make any more noise, and we'll tie you and me to that stake, do you want that?"
Hearing Robin's attention, Will finally shut his mouth.
The entire prisoner-of-war camp built in the Japanese military camp was a so-so open space surrounded by barbed wire, and about 500 prisoners of war sat scattered in it.
In line with the old habit of escaping, Robin kept thinking about how to escape on the way in.
But what I saw in front of me was all bad news, there were soldiers on duty outside the prisoner of war camp, there were makeshift watchtowers in the four corners, and there were searchlights on the watchtowers that were not shining everywhere.
The double-decker POW camp was a well-defended barracks on the outside and a tightly managed POW camp on the inside.
These scenes made Robin completely lose hope of escaping, and in the moments before they were imprisoned in the prisoner of war camp, Robin held on to the last hope and said to Taro Hashimoto on the side,
"Hashimoto, did you tell them, we are on one side, we are all enemies of those guys in the Four Elements Warehouse."
"No, of course we're not on one side, you two idiots, I fled back just to report the situation in the warehouse to our officers, as for you two ......"
Raising his head and looking at the two tall British soldiers, Taro Hashimoto had a strange smile on his face,
"Perhaps it would be more useful to pray to your Virgin Mary, foolish Englishman."
After saying that, Taro Hashimoto no longer looked at them, but respectfully followed the Japanese officers led by the small group and walked towards the office of the camp.
Robin and Will were apparently only temporarily locked up in the POW camp because there was no one to untie them up.
At this point, the two of them turned around and looked at the captured Chinese soldiers in the camp.
After a while, a Chinese approached and asked in English,
"British?"
Hearing Chinese, somehow, Will's feeling of being scared just now was swept away, and even when he spoke, he still had a bit of a condescending meaning.
"Damn it, do you know English, we're British, get these damn ropes untied for us."
