Chapter 5: The Innocent (14)

"Tajun,,." Unexpectedly, the Japanese lieutenant was still shot by a cold gun 150 or 60 meters away from the trench. The fake regiment commander Little Lama was shocked and crawled forward, laying in Sakai Gaoming's ear and shouting, "Tajun, how are you doing, Taijun, wake up, sanitation officer, sanitation officer, hurry up and bandage, Sakai Taijun was shot in the neck."

"Tajun was shot, he was shot." The other puppet soldiers lying on the ground shouted in unison, and at the same time they waved their arms behind, reminding the machine gunners and grenade launchers not to open fire for the time being, so that they could carry Sakai Taijun off the battlefield to rescue. However, the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers turned a deaf ear to the puppet army's shouts, quickly raised weapons, and smashed rows of bullets and grenade launchers into the trenches that were already empty in the distance.

"Come with me, crawl and carry Taijun down." I can't figure out what Sakai Gaoming came from. The little lama dared not let the Supreme Emperor bleed and die in front of him. He bit his teeth and made his heart aside. He ignored the machine gun bullets flying above his head, and carried Sakai Gaoming, who had fallen into a coma with his shoulders. He crawled back with his hands and feet. Seeing this, several pseudo battalion commanders and company commanders around him quickly came over to help. More than a dozen packs were pulled, and like dogs pulling sled, he moved Sakai Gaoming quickly. While crawling, he did not forget to continue yelling at the machine gun position, "Stop shooting, stop shooting, a Japanese commander, a Japanese commander, was shot. Hurry up and let us send him down for rescue. If you delay any further, you will not be able to save it."

"Stop shooting, stop shooting, there is a Japanese chief and a Japanese chief shot."

"It's your own people, you're shot, it's not us, it's not us." The other puppet soldiers had no intention of using the cover of machine guns to move near the trenches, lay on the wet and cold grass, and continued to shout.

After all the efforts, the Japanese machine gunners finally saw the crowd who were slowly crawling backwards at the risk of being shot into a sieve by bullets. They were stunned for a moment and hesitated to stop shooting one after another.

"What's going on?" A lower-level Japanese officer with the rank of lieutenant ran to the little lama and raised his eyebrows to question, "Without the order of Chief Kawada, how could you dare to withdraw yourself?"

"No, no." The little lama immediately turned pale and raised his right hand and shook it repeatedly, "No, it's not that we are going to take it down ourselves, it's because this Taijun was shot. If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself."

"He is not dead yet." The lieutenant of the Japanese glanced at Sakai Gaoming, whose upper body was soaked in blood, and asked in surprise.

"I'm not dead, not dead, the bullet tilted a little, and penetrated it against the major artery at the base of my neck." The little lama quickly put down Sakai Gaoming and explained with a charming smile, "General Kawada ordered us to follow the command of this Taijun. We lift him down, mainly for two things. One is to see if the military doctor can save his life, and the other is to ask Chief Kawada for instructions, and who should listen to the next dispatch."

"Please carry him to the side of the motorcade. There should be a military doctor there. Whether he can survive depends on his own fate." Although the lieutenant looked down on the veteran Yuko Sakai Gaoming, he couldn't bear to see him die. After thinking about it, he ordered the little lama in disguise, "This attack will be invalid, so that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army will breathe for a while. When Chief Shirakawa sends you a new commander, he will destroy them in one go."

"Yes, Taijun is wise, Taijun is wise." The little lama and others were overjoyed, lifted Sakai Gaoming, and ran to the far-off car with great gratitude. While running, he secretly wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. "His grandma, he can finally take off and take a break. The Tuya Route Army can hit Sakai Tako with one shot a hundred meters away. Only the fool would be willing to continue lying there waiting for him to name one by one. Next time he charges, he must let Chief Kawada send another Taijun down. With Taijun around, the Tuya Route Army's sharpshooter doesn't care about us."

"Damn it." Two or three hundred meters away, Kawada Kunaki also saw the pseudo commander and others trotting towards the convoy through the telescope. He cursed angrily and turned his head to the messenger beside him, "Go and notify the artillery that this round of bombardment will be cancelled. By the way, call Shirakawa and Captain Otaku and tell them that I need to re-adjust the deployment."

"Hiyi." The messenger agreed and ran away. After a while, he found Shiro Shirakawa who was commanding the battle at the front and Kotaki, who was full of complaints. Seeing the two of them looking up in a state of resentment, Kawada Kuniha smiled and said in a pretentious manner, "Don't do this? The performance of the security brigade was originally as expected. Through these four charges, we finally figured out the strength of the enemy. Next, we can eat them calmly in one bite."

"I am depressed of our losses." Shirakawa Shiro smiled reluctantly and explained in a low voice, "The cavalry instructors in the security brigade have almost all been killed. The two light machine gun teams I had secretly transferred up just now were all broken by His Majesty the Emperor, and Lieutenant Sakai who had just been lifted down."

"There are only seven people in total." Kawada Kunaki stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and pinched his thumb in the air. "Seven are much less than I expected, but the casualties on the guerrillas are definitely more than twice ours. If you charge like this for a few more rounds, you won't need to take the Japanese Imperial Army to take action, and the security brigade can consume the guerrillas' strength."

"That's right." Shirakawa Shiro sighed softly, admitting that Kawada Kantaki's summary made sense, but deep down, he still felt that there was no place to release the depressed aura. As for where this depressed aura came from, he himself couldn't explain clearly. In short, it was boring to fight like this one tonight. It could not reflect the true strength of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, nor could it crush the confidence and courage of the resisters. If there were still people on the Tujiao Route Army after this battle, Shirakawa Shiro could be sure that this missed a fish that would inherit the entire spiritual and intellectual legacy of the entire Black Stone Guerrillas, and gradually reproduced from scratch, and grew into a stumbling block to the grassland strategy of the Great Japanese Empire.

"Yes, isn't this result exactly what we expected in advance?" Okuta sighed faintly for the last time, saying that he would continue to support Kawada Kyosaki's decision. The battle has reached this point. It is really meaningless to continue to compete for the highest command. With half a night of buffering time, Red Beard probably had already emptied the old battalion of the guerrillas now, and replaced him Okuta Zhongzhao to command. In addition to destroying all the roadblocks in front of him, what new tricks can he do?

Listening to Ota's last statement, Kawada Kunaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and quickly turned the topic to the topic, "Thank you for your understanding and support. In the next round of attack, I am going to change to another tactic. You two, please help with some specific cooperation."

"Hiyi, how to do it, please tell me the truth." Shirakawa Shiro and Kotaki were slightly stunned for the last time, and immediately agreed in unison, while trying to stand up as tired as possible.

"You don't have to be so polite, you two." Kan Akira Kawada nodded slightly with satisfaction, then signaled Shirakawa Shiro and Ota to get closer to themselves for the last time, and whispered slowly with a volume that only three could hear, "Next, let's go, Nakasa Shirakawa Nakasa, and the three of us work together to fight for it."

"Hiyi." Shirakawa Shiro and Otaki agreed in the last time, and then turned their eyes to the trench under the stars in the distance.

There were a few shadows moving quickly next to the incomplete trenches. Because the brightness of moonlight and starlight was limited by more than 500 meters. Without the help of a telescope, Shirakawa Shiro and Otaki were difficult to determine whether those moving shadows were the guerrillas taking the opportunity to repair the trenches or the low shrubs blown by the wind. The shrubs growing near the river have no lack of moisture in the branches and leaves, so it is difficult to be ignited by artillery fire. Even if some red stars occasionally pop up, they will be extinguished quickly. The moist soil blown by the shells is an excellent fire extinguishing agent. It can not only block oxygen, but also quickly reduce the temperature. If the guerrillas use wet soil to repair the trenches, they can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. If they leave it alone, a new earth slope may be built on the edge of the trenches in a flash.

"What, do you two have no confidence in my plan?" Kawada Kunaki didn't like others to be distracted when discussing the combat plan, frowned and asked in a low voice.

"No, yes, I mean, I have confidence." Otachi turned his eyes back in amazement, and answered a little incoherently, "Of course I have confidence in Kawata's plan. No matter how capable the Tuya Eighth Route Army has, can it still use soil to make reinforcements?"

"Haha, of course it's impossible." Shiro Shirakawa cooperated and beat him up. "Of course I can't have no confidence in Kawada's plan. I was thinking just now, how will the opposite Chinese commander deal with it in our next attack? According to previous experience, he may not be a person who likes to stick to the rules. By the way, how is Sakai's injury? Is there any hope of saving you back?"
