Chapter 5: The Innocent (Twelve Seconds)

"Damn it." For the last time, Eryu threw the telescope hard to the ground and cursed loudly. The telescope was pulled in the air by the leather rope hanging on his neck, and failed to contact the ground. The second half of the leather rope made his neck feel so painful. This self-inflicted pain made him even more angry. He raised his command knife and knocked hard at the shoulder of the machine gunman at his feet with the back of the knife. "Baoshi, where did he do what he can do when he was training? He couldn't even grasp the chance to come to the door. Are you afraid of hurting the idiots in the security brigade by mistake? Those idiots will die if they die. What are you going to worry about?"

"Koshita, keep angry." Shirakawa Shiro, who was standing next to him, walked over and gently hugged Oshita's shoulder for the last time. "It was the first time that the security brigade dismounted, and the machine gunners cooperated with them for the first time. It was already quite good to be able to do this at present."

"That's right, they want to be so bad." Eryu stopped the knife for the last time, and a hot air whirled from his nostrils. "It's so hard to deal with a group of Tu Eighth Route guerrillas. If he encounters a regular Tu Eighth Route Army in the future, he will not be beaten to escape in panic."

"Not all the Turkish Eighth Route Guerrillas are as strong as the one in front of you." Shirakawa Shiro smiled and continued to whisper, "They are just an exception and not universal. The performance of the brothers tonight has been greatly affected by the surrounding environment and physical fatigue, and it also does not represent normal levels."

These words were said ingeniously, almost all the complaints of Okuta's last time were blocked back. In fact, it was not only ordinary soldiers who performed badly tonight. The temporary supreme commander of this team, Kawada Kunaki, also performed a little inappropriately. With Okuta's last time, Kawada Kunaki made mistakes at the beginning of tonight. First of all, he shouldn't have discovered the enemy and immediately ordered an attack. The most taboo thing in war is this kind of oil-adding tactic. You should first make sufficient preparations, and then, like when the hawks catch rabbits, you either use all your strength without taking action and strive for a fatal blow. For example, field guns, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, "heavy" weapons that can reflect the absolute advantage of the Great Japanese Imperial Army should have been taken out long ago, instead of waiting until the security brigade was beaten to pieces by the Turkish Eighth Route Army, you would have thought that there were still a few "treasures" around you that you forgot to use.

In addition, in terms of military force investment, Kawada Kunaki seemed a little too stingy. Even though he knew that the security brigade was useless, he still repeatedly placed his hope of defeating the enemy and winning. Not only wasted a lot of time, but the morale of the Japanese Imperial Army was also greatly affected. Almost every soldier saw the miserable appearance of the security brigade, his face showed a bit of fear, which invisibly made the danger of the Eighth Route Army exaggerated several levels.

If he had been the supreme commander, Ota would believe that he would not make any of the above mistakes for the last time. He also hoped that the next battle would be completely left to him. Kawada Kunaki could tactfully take the initiative to let Kenya go, but Shirakawa Shiro suddenly made a fuss. Some things he could have taken advantage of to play with would not be able to say again. Otherwise, Shirakawa Shiro and Shirakawa Shiro and he would have no chance of winning at all, otherwise, if Shirakawa Shiro and Kurokawa Shirokawa joined forces, he would have no chance of winning at all.

"What should I do next? Let's continue to waste time here?" The plot in my heart was unable to be performed. Eryu was so uncomfortable that she was held back for the last time. After biting her lips for a long time, she asked angrily.

"I am reborn and I am familiar with each other. The cavalry of the security brigade performed poorly this time. If you try a few more times, you can always form a tacit understanding between the machine gun, grenade launcher and field cannon behind you." Shirakawa Shiro smiled again, and his expression was still as calm as before. "Besides, the sky is so dark, I can't let our own soldiers go to the thunder for the security brigade," he said.

"This, this" Eryu was asked repeatedly for the last time, with tight chest and shortness of breath, and asked his soldiers to rush to the Imperial Army. He would never give such a stupid order. Otherwise, even if he won the battle in front of him, he would lose the support of his brothers. The Great Japanese Imperial Army was noble and the Manchu Imperial Army was lowly. This is a convention and tradition within the entire Kwantung Army. A guy who dared to take the lead in violating this tradition will definitely become an alternative in everyone's eyes. No matter how careful he is in his career, he will not be able to go smoothly.

"I just think we have wasted too much time on the road. This time we were originally a red beard, not a sensational dragon." After finally breathing evenly, Oshita immediately added loudly for the last time, "I agree with Shirakawa Jun's chance to exercise for the security brigade, but if we continue like this, we may not be able to clean up the roadblocks in front of us."

"Then continue to clean up. Even if they take the initiative to withdraw, they will chase after them and kill them all." Before Shirakawa Shiro could speak, Kawada Guoaki, who had been pricking up his ears to listen to the dispute between the two, suddenly spoke, and his unshaven face was full of viciousness. "I don't believe that for such a powerful team, Red Beard is really willing to let them be wiped out. If he can really be cruel, I will admit it. Anyway, without Lu Yunlong and Fatty Zhang, the guerrillas will be chopped off. Even if Red Beard has the ability, he can't make any big storm with him alone," he said.

"Kawada-kun!" Ota was surprised for the last time and instinctively wanted to express his objection. But Kawada-kunaki didn't want to give him any chance. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Jun Shirakawa just said that we have to make preparations for both hands. After delaying for so long, the first-hand preparation is obviously very dangerous. So be more straightforward and choose the second one directly. Don't worry, if the headquarters asks about this matter in the future, all the responsibilities will be borne by me alone."

"I, I'm not, that's not what I mean! I, I mean" Otsuki's face became hot for the last time, and he began to stutter again. Being between killing Red Beard and cutting off one arm of Red Beard, the former must have made great contributions. His mission to the Black Stone Village this time was also to assist Kawada Guoaki to eliminate Red Beard. As for what I know, Fatty Zhang, the superiors didn't even mention it when he was assigned the task. But Kawada Guoaki was already saying this. If he insisted on continuing to go straight to the Red Beard's nest, it would seem a bit too merciless. Besides, Shirakawa Shiro, a son who came down to gilt, was present, and it would not be so easy for him to force Kawada Guoaki to change his course.

"It's settled like this, don't worry, I, Kawada Kunaki, are not a person who has no responsibility." Finally, I looked at Ota for the last time. Kawada Kunaki emphasized again, and then ignored the embarrassing expression on the other party's face. I turned my eyes to Shirakawa Shiro and loudly ordered: "Kun Shirakawa, please continue to direct the brigade to press forward, and be sure to mobilize all the earth-Eighth Route Army hidden in the trenches. I guess that the temporary trenches they dug are more than the outermost one."

"No matter how many pieces are dug, they are completely wiped out, and the difference is only in the morning and evening." Shirakawa Shiro nodded and responded loudly, then pulled a veteran oil boy from the crowd watching the battle and asked loudly, "Saki Kan, have you had relevant experience in the cooperation of infantry and artillery before?"

"Yes, there are, in the past, when I was attacking General Ma Zhanshan, I, as a squad leader, participated in the battle." Unexpectedly, the staff officer Shirakawa, who was always arrogant, would notice such a small person, and Sakai Gaoming answered incoherently.

"It's good to have experience." Shirakawa Shiro pointed to the area where most of the puppet troops were lying on the battlefield and ordered in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Sakai, I will now give you a chance to prove your worth. Go to the Commander Xiao of the Security Brigade and cooperate with him to command the team to eliminate the enemy in front of you."

"I, me" Oil droplets immediately appeared on Sakai's forehead, and his face was full of fear, "I haven't brought so many soldiers before, I have never been to military academy, I just served for a long time, so I became a lieutenant based on my qualifications. My ability and ability are average. I am afraid, I will let it go and disappoint the superiors."

"It's okay." Shirakawa Shiro patted Sakai Takamaki's back, as if comforting, and as if he was ruthless. "You can rise and fall in the army for so many years is a kind of ability, and I don't want you to lead the team to charge."

"Then, what does the sir want me to do?" Sakai Gaoming felt so regretful that his intestines were almost blue, but he didn't dare to say anything to refuse. If he had known this, he would have pretended to be sick before departure. But before departure, who knew that the Eryu Squadron had arrived outside Black Stone City, and who knew that this operation was aimed at eliminating the guerrillas. Now it was terrible, and there was no chance to pretend to be sick. Take people to attack the guerrillas' positions. Do you think the rifle in Fatty Zhang's hand would really be raised half an inch for the sake of his old acquaintance?

Thinking of his "old friend" Zhang Songling's good shooting technique that was almost a hundred shots, and his related losses of his interests after the guerrillas were wiped out, Sakai Gaoming was in tears. However, Shirakawa Shiro could not see his inner feelings, and patted him gently and continued: "Your mission is very simple. It is to pass on your previous experience in the artillery artillery to Commander Xiao, and then let him lead all the soldiers of the police brigade to lure out the guerrillas in the trenches and create opportunities for the artillery soldiers behind him. Don't worry, as long as your reaction is not as slow as before, the shells will never fall on your head, and I will never order the machine gunners to fire at your back."

"This" Sakai Takamyang looked embarrassed and refused to move his steps for a long time.

"Why, Lieutenant Sakai, are you still going to bargain with me like doing business?" Shirakawa Shiro's smile quickly became cold, and the word "business" made the bite very clearly.

Sakai Gaoming suddenly felt a sudden strife in his heart, and immediately realized that what he and several other veterans had done secretly might have been discovered by Staff Shirakawa. The latter asked him to go to the front line to assist the security brigade today, perhaps just to give him a chance to make meritorious service. If he was ungrateful, he might even have this last chance to be cancelled.

Thinking of this, Sakai Gaoming didn't care about any commercial interests and the risk of being blasted by a cold gun. He suddenly saluted Shirakawa Shiro with his legs together, "Report to the commander, my subordinates will go on the mission now. If they don't take down the guerrilla positions, they will definitely not come back to see you alive."

"Okay, go, I'm very looking forward to your performance. I'll give you ten minutes to prepare. In ten minutes, the next attack will officially begin." Shirakawa Shiro nodded, and the smile on his face looked plain and cold.
