Chapter 81
The three-wheeled motorcycle stopped completely without waiting for the side, Noguchi Takayuki stepped out of the side bucket and looked up at the three artillery towers in the shape of the Longxugou stronghold. There was an indelible depression between Noguchi's eyebrows.
As a pure kendo samurai, Noguchi Takayuki was dissatisfied with the many atrocities of the Japanese invading China. He believed that the battle between the two countries should only involve the fighting between the army, and should not affect innocent civilians. However, after entering China, the Japanese invading China repeatedly raised their butcher knives towards the civilians.
What made Noguchi Takayuki the most unbearable was the massacre that lasted for six weeks in Nanjing.
Noguchi Takayuki believed that the face of the empire and the reputation of the imperial army were all lost by the group of thugs who were red-eyed.
In the end, Noguchi Takayuki even had a fierce quarrel with his chief Yoshiguchi Yoshiharu. As an adjutant, he quarreled with his own chief. This was extremely rare among the Japanese army with extremely strict hierarchy. Noguchi Takayuki was immediately kicked out of the permanent division, first transferred to the special division, and then joined the independent mixed 14th Brigade.
For the officers in the Japanese, such punishment is almost disastrous.
In the battle sequence of the Japanese, the status of the seventeen permanent divisions is far higher than that of the general special divisions. As a field division, the status of the special division is significantly higher than that of the independent mixed brigades as garrisons. Therefore, relatively speaking, officers of permanent divisions are more likely to be promoted, while officers of independent mixed brigades are difficult to be promoted.
Noguchi Takayuki was kicked out of the permanent division, joined the independent mixed brigade, and then sent to Qingyang County to be a small military police captain, which basically announced his possibility of continuing to be promoted in the army. In other words, he is very likely to retire in the position of military police captain, of course, the premise is that he must survive to the end.
As an ideal and aspiring young officer, Noguchi Takayuki's inner depression can be imagined.
Seeing Takayuki Noguchi, two Japanese soldiers guarding outside the gate of the Longxugou stronghold quickly raised their guns to pay tribute. Takayuki Noguchi raised his hand to return the military salute, and then stepped into the stronghold.
Early this morning, Noguchi Takayuki received a call from the High High Division Chief Ishida from the Ryusugou stronghold, saying that he had captured two spies from the New Fourth Army. Noguchi Takayuki immediately took an infantry team and drove to the Ryusugou stronghold.
Although Noguchi Takayuki was dissatisfied with his own situation, he did not give up on himself. After he became the commander of the Qingyang County military police, he was considered to be responsible. For the Japanese army in Qingyang County, the biggest threat was not the national army, but the New Fourth Army. Therefore, Koguchi Takayuki attached great importance to the two New Fourth Army spies captured by Ishida.
It was also after Noguchi Takayuki took office as the commander of the Qingyang County Military Police that he discovered that the rear was essentially different from the large-scale battles on the front line. Although the large-scale battles on the front line were fierce, the chief officer only needed to consider the strength, equipment, training level and logistics support of both sides. The rest was to see the battlefield.
The scale of the rear security battle is often very small, but it is much more difficult to deal with.
The most troublesome thing is the New Fourth Army's guerrillas. You hardly know where they are hiding, and even more so when and where they will come out to attack your baggage team. They hardly attack the Japanese army's large forces, but only attack the Japanese army or the puppet army's baggage team, or the transport team that went to the countryside to collect grain.
The attacks launched by guerrillas are usually very small in scale, often with only a dozen people, and the great ones are only a few dozen people. The losses caused to the Japanese army are limited each time. But what is terrible is that guerrilla attacks are everywhere and everywhere. Sometimes they will be attacked dozens of times a day, and the losses are also extremely astonishing.
Noguchi Takayuki also tried to set up a bait to ambush, but the effect was not ideal, because the guerrillas were very cunning. Once they found that the situation was wrong, they would run away with a few shots, which was even slippery than loaches.
It was not until not long ago that Noguchi Takayuki finally found an effective way to deal with the guerrillas.
This method is not uncommon, that is, to develop spies within the guerrillas
Not all Chinese people can take death as if they were in such a big China. Even the New Fourth Army guerrillas are also greedy for life and fear of death as traitors. The Special High School has already bribed a traitor from the Qingyang County guerrillas. Using this traitor, the Japanese army can grasp the movements of the guerrillas in advance, thus avoiding several unnecessary losses.
Unfortunately, the traitor bought by the troop class was just a guerrilla pawn, so he could not know the real core secrets of the guerrillas. The gendarmerie could not use the information provided by the traitor to set up an ambush and annihilate the Qingyang guerrillas in one fell swoop. Therefore, Noguchi Takayuki heard that the guerrilla officer had captured a guerrilla officer at the Longxugou stronghold, so he hurried over.
As soon as he entered the gate, the senior high school chief Ishida and a man wearing a black top hat came up.
Noguchi Takayuki was extremely disdainful of Ishida. This guy was originally the head of the special high school class in Longkou Prefecture. Later, the Longkou military police team was ambushed by the recently emerged southern Anhui anti-Japanese national salvation army in the mouth of the carp. The military police captain Koji unfortunately died in battle, but this guy miraculously escaped back while it was dark.
As a proud warrior, it is shameful to escape from the battlefield like a clown.
If it were Noguchi Takayuki himself, he would rather die in battle like Koji than escape.
However, Ishida is not a samurai. These trained agents never care about reputation, honor or even dignity, and naturally they will not have the pride that samurai should have. For them, achieving their goals is the first priority. In order to achieve their goals, they can even sell their souls to the devil, so Takayuki looked down on them.
Seeing Ishida, Noguchi Takayuki's expression was very cold, but Ishida's face was filled with a smile.
"Noguchi San, thank you all the way." As a member of the class, Ishida paid tribute as if he was a member of the superior.
But Noguchi Takayuki still waved his hand coldly and said, "Sang Ishida, let's see what you have gained."
"Hayi." Ishida took his head again, then half turned toward Noguchi Takayuki and stretched out his right hand and made a request.
(Split Line)
Yu Jiaxi was awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps. When she turned around, she saw a group of Japanese soldiers who had already surrounded two Japanese officers and strode in.
Yu Jiaxi looked at the Japanese officer walking in front indifferently, then turned her gaze away.
When it fell into the hands of the little Japanese, Yu Jiaxi no longer had the idea of separation, and even prepared to be humiliated. As a woman and a beauty, Yu Jiaxi knew very well what fate would be waiting for her. Although Japan has maintained restraint until now, it was just because Japan had not yet tear off the mask on her face.
After Noguchi Takayuki walked in, he just looked at Yu Jiaxi without saying anything. He was a little shocked by the other party's intimidating beauty. Noguchi Takayuki even compared the Chinese woman in front of him with his lover Chiba Hana. He had to admit that the beauty of this Chinese woman was definitely not under his Hana.
As an agent, Ishida saw more content from Yu Jiaxi's cold eyes. He came over and said to Noguchi Takayuki in Japanese: "Noguchi, this Chinese woman is very calm and does not have the panic that ordinary women show after being captured by us. According to my experience, there are only two possibilities."
Noguchi Takayuki listened quietly, he knew that Ishida could be said to be an expert in this regard.
Ishida continued: "These two possibilities are: one is that this woman has been stimulated and has long since been no longer at ease with her life and death; the other is that this woman has received special training and knows how to deal with our interrogation. Such people are mostly high-level cores of the Chinese regular army or guerrillas. I personally tend to be the second possibility."
Ishida has been active in China for many years and has dealt with agents of the Military Control Commission's predecessor, Fuxing Society, and the CCP's underground party to varying degrees. His anti-espionage experience can be said to be extremely rich. Otherwise, yesterday would not have seen through Liu Chang, Yu Jiaxi and others' disguise at first sight. However, this time, Ishida's judgment was obviously a deviation.
The reason why Yu Jiaxi is so calm and so calm that she is almost indifferent is that she has already put life and death aside. Since the moment she learned about Xu Shijiu's death, death has no longer been a fear of Yu Jiaxi. Deep down in her heart, Yu Jiaxi is still looking forward to the arrival of death.
In this world, there are always some things that are more important than life.
For the martyrs, the value of the country's honor, disgrace, rise and fall, and the survival of the nation is far greater than that of life.
For soldiers, protecting their motherland and their compatriots is worthy of their lives for.
For most Chinese people, they can also sacrifice their lives in order to protect their wives, children, and children.
