The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 217 The Emperor’s Uncle

"Bring the prisoners here."

He Wei said to Yang Biao and put away the speed machine. The officers and soldiers around him also breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, Yang Biao led the soldiers of the special agent platoon to pull over the four gray-headed and bloody Japanese soldiers. Wang Yaowu When He Yiqian and the cadres and soldiers of the 51st Division saw how many people had been captured alive, their eyes gleamed.

The squad leader of the special agent platoon who captured the prisoners told He Wei and others about the process of capturing these Japanese soldiers. There were five Japanese soldiers captured, two of whom were lightly wounded soldiers who were lame from bullets and hid in the They pretended to be dead in the pile of corpses and tried to get away with it, but they were all caught on the spot by Youzi, a veteran of the secret service platoon who was cleaning up the battlefield.

The other three uninjured Japanese soldiers were first blown to pieces by mountain artillery and mortars from the secret service battalion during the battle. They were blown away by air waves and then hit by tanks. Although they did not lose their lives, they He was also knocked unconscious by the fall. When he woke up from the pile of corpses, what he saw were the vicious secret service platoon soldiers.

"We can still catch a few alive. That's great. It's not easy to catch a Japs. I fought with the Japs in Songhu for several months, but I didn't catch a few alive Japanese soldiers. Damn it, fighting in Luodian We finally managed to catch two alive, but when they were sent back, one committed suicide, and the other took the opportunity to run away. These devils are so damn stubborn, and they captured so many in this battle today, good thing, good thing. "

Wang Yaowu said with some excitement, and He Wei just nodded in agreement, his expression calm as usual. For most Chinese troops, capturing a Japanese soldier alive with beards and tails is probably more difficult than killing a Japanese soldier. big.

It can also be seen from Wang Yaowu's words that even for the elites of the national army like the 51st Division, it is extremely difficult to capture Japanese prisoners. However, He Wei was not touched at all. After all, he captured Japanese prisoners during the Battle of Xinkou. He had passed several prisoners. Not only did he capture Japanese soldiers alive, he even used Japanese soldiers to kill his own Tao Heiwa to practice his courage. The idea of ​​capturing Japanese soldiers alive has long since lost its novelty. It can even be said that the Japanese soldiers The prisoners have been reduced to "consumables" in He Wei's case.

"Mr. Wang, why don't we send these guys down first and quickly interrogate them to understand the enemy's situation..."

He Wei said.

Wang Yaowu nodded: "Okay, Ji Hongru, send these guys to your regiment command post, and we'll interrogate him as soon as possible. His grandma fought with the Japanese for two days, and we don't know what the deployment is on the other side, so we'll interrogate him now." "

A group of people kicked these Japanese soldiers to the headquarters of the 301st Regiment. Not only Wang Yaowu was eager to grasp the enemy's situation, but He Wei also wanted to know the Japanese deployment in front of Chunhua. Looking at the current situation, Although he had finalized the alternating retreat of the 160th Division and the successive cover tactics, when he fought here in Chunhua today, He Wei felt that the Japanese troops in the Chunhua direction were much stronger than those near Tangshan.

In this way, whether it is the 160th Division or the 51st Division, joint operations should be chosen when retreating. Otherwise, as long as one unit rubs the soles of its feet first, the other unit will probably not move. will suffer disaster, therefore, understanding the enemy's situation is a top priority.

"Damn it, be honest and hang up the oil lamp."

In the command post of the 301st Regiment, the platoon leader Yang Biao kicked the five prisoners in. Several more soldiers from the platoon and Wang Yaowu's guards brought chairs and hemp ropes and tied the five prisoners together. Really tied to the chair.

However, these Japanese soldiers were not very honest. They kept resisting and screamed, so each of them was rewarded with a big-eared post and a rifle butt by Wang Yaowu's guards. It was only then that these guys Be honest.

"Controller Huang, come and interrogate me. Give me a good interrogation."

Wang Yaowu also sat opposite the five Japanese soldiers and called out a captain behind him. The captain immediately stepped forward and began to talk to the five prisoners in Japanese.

"Brother, I, Staff Officer Huang, am also a graduate of the ninth class of Huangpu. After graduation, I was recommended to the Infantry Section of the Chinese Army of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Not long after I studied, the Japanese caused trouble at Marco Polo Bridge, and all their Chinese students dropped out and came back. ”

Wang Yaowu pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for He Wei to sit down. He Wei nodded with a smile, but did not sit down. Instead, he walked towards the five Japanese prisoners.

Under the dim light, He Wei looked at these five Japanese soldiers carefully. Three of them were soldiers, one was a non-commissioned officer, and one was actually an officer, or a second lieutenant officer. He Wei stared at it with interest. This second lieutenant officer saw that under the dim light, this guy's big eyes were actually moving around. There was both fear and worry in his eyes, and he kept glancing downwards. He Wei quickly followed his eyes. His eyes spotted the leather briefcase at his waist.

Seeing that he had been so worried about the briefcase on his waist, He Wei suddenly became interested, and at the same time he was alert. This guy was also an officer after all, and there might be some confidential combat documents or combat orders in the briefcase.

Of course, this possibility is actually not high, because officers at the second lieutenant level basically have no qualifications to access formal combat order documents. At most, they can receive some temporary handwritten combat notes from the lieutenant squadron leader or group captain. .

However, in line with the principle of making three poles with or without dates, He Wei still planned to take a look.

He Wei immediately stepped forward and took away the briefcase from this guy's waist. Unexpectedly, as soon as He Wei pulled the strap off his body, the Japanese second lieutenant suddenly jumped up like a madman and bumped into He Wei. However, his whole body was Tied to the chair, he could only rock back and forth and push against He Wei.

"Fuck you."

He Wei kicked the guy and his chair away with a kick. Yang Biao also rushed forward, raised the butt of the flower machine gun and hit the Japanese second lieutenant twice in the stomach.

"Baga, you damn Chinese, those are my personal belongings. No one is allowed to touch them. I am a prisoner of war. According to international law, you have no right to take away the prisoners' personal belongings. Give it back to me quickly. Give it back quickly." Give me."

He Wei was about to open the briefcase when he heard the Japanese second lieutenant who fell on the ground shouting in proficient Chinese. Not only was the Chinese spoken standard, but it also had a little bit of Songhu's accent, without any trace of it. A little Japanese accent.

"Fuck, don't be a fucking traitor, you speak Chinese so well."

Yang Biao cursed.

Staff Officer Huang, who was communicating with several Japanese prisoners in Japanese, also stopped. His attention was also attracted by the Japanese second lieutenant who could speak Chinese. He came to He Wei and followed him to search the second lieutenant's briefcase. He Wei poured out everything in the briefcase. As expected, there were no combat documents or plans at all. They were all daily necessities and some personal documents.

"Don't touch my things, don't touch my things, give them back to me."

The Japanese second lieutenant roared loudly as if he was having a manic attack and moved his body violently. Unfortunately, if he squirmed forward a few centimeters, the soldiers from the secret service platoon would kick him back to his original position.

He Wei flipped through it casually and found two packs of cigarettes, a pen, a fan with Chinese poems inscribed on it, two diaries, two IDs and a beautiful zipper belt. "Brother, you know Japanese, look at what this bitch is doing."

He Wei handed the two certificates to Staff Officer Huang. The two certificates were one large and one small. Staff Huang first opened the smaller certificate, looked at it for a few times, and then said: "This is his military officer ID. His name is Nishi Kanjiro, he is a second lieutenant and squad leader of the third squadron of the first infantry battalion of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army. He is twenty-four years old. His military branch is infantry and his non-commissioned officer category is reserve officer."

Then Staff Officer Huang opened the larger certificate, took a look at it, and exclaimed: "No wonder this guy speaks Chinese so well. This guy is a graduate of Songhu Tongwen College."

He Wei took the certificate from Counselor Huang's hand, and what caught his eye was an exquisite graduation certificate, written in both Chinese and Japanese. This diploma showed that this guy named Nishi Kanjiro was from Songhu East Asia. As a graduate of Tongwen Academy, He Wei thought no wonder this guy could speak Chinese.

East Asia Douben School is a university-type school opened by Japan in the Songhu area. It first started in the late Qing Dynasty. The original intention of this school was to collect intelligence for Japan's war of aggression against China. Therefore, in the early days, most of the students in this school were Agents with special missions.

During the pre-Qing Dynasty, this school often led students to organize various large and small trips within China in the name of organizing student study tours. The main purpose was to collect intelligence on China's topography and local customs during the so-called trip. Its work was also quite effective. Later, as the scale of the academy continued to expand, its business scope was no longer limited to collecting intelligence. Instead, it really began to become a teaching and educating university, and began to recruit a large number of ordinary students. Even Chinese students.

While carrying out normal teaching work, he also carried out various espionage activities behind the scenes.

Since this second lieutenant graduated from this school, it is logical that he can speak Chinese.

"Captain He, this Japanese guy graduated from Songhu Tongwen College. I secretly learned about it when I was in the Japanese Military Academy. This school has the nature of both an intelligence agency and an ordinary university. The students it trains are both spies and ordinary students. Student, Kanjiro Nishi graduated from Songhu Doubun College last year. I looked at his graduation time and resume. This guy should have returned to Japan after graduating from Songhu Doubun College last year. Every man in Japan has He has to perform military service, and this guy received a call-up order after he returned home."

"This person has a college degree from Doubun College and is a college student in Japan. According to the Japanese military service system, men with a college degree can take the reserve officer examination while serving in the army. Those who pass it can directly serve in the compulsory military service with the rank of second lieutenant. This This guy is probably like this, but looking at him like this, he doesn't look like a spy, otherwise he wouldn't serve in the field army as a squad leader."

"When I was receiving military education at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the Japanese instructors explained to us this reserve officer system in detail. Students who passed the exam would be sent to various military schools of the Japanese Army, such as the Army Infantry School, the Army Cavalry School, the Army Artillery school, after receiving basic education, they will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant and distributed to the grassroots units."

Staff Officer Huang said while looking through the documents and resume of the Japanese second lieutenant.

He Wei nodded and took out the zipper bag found on the second lieutenant. Just as he was about to open it, he saw the Japanese second lieutenant's reaction became even more violent. His blood-red eyes looked at the zipper bag on He Wei's hand in horror. Bag, with a bit of panic, a bit of fear, and a bit of anger in his eyes.

His body was shaking even more, trying hard to crawl towards the direction where He Wei and Staff Huang were. Even the legs of the chair were twisted and deformed by this guy. If it weren't for Yang Biao and several soldiers from the secret service platoon, he pressed down hard. If you hold him back, you might be able to rush over and fight He Wei to the death, while you keep roaring and shouting.

"Don't take my stuff, give it back to me."

"Assholes, you bastards."

He Wei was a little speechless, thinking that a broken bag would be the end of it? He acted as if he was going to kill his whole family. He kept moving his hands and was even more speechless after opening it. It was just a few pieces of paper filled with Japanese writing. He handed it to Staff Officer Huang and asked him to Let's see what made this Japanese second lieutenant react so violently.

Staff Officer Huang took the pieces of paper and looked at them carefully. Suddenly, the hands holding the papers continued to tremble, and his eyes shone with shock and excitement.

"Brother, what's going on?"

He Wei asked.

Staff Officer Huang read the pieces of paper carefully several times, looked at He Wei with some excitement, then looked at Wang Yaowu behind him, and said loudly: "Sir, the uncle of the Japanese Emperor may be away from us." Far away."

The uncle of the Japanese Emperor?

Wang Yaowu and He Wei were both stunned, not understanding what Officer Huang meant, but when Officer Huang finished speaking, Kanjiro Nanishi felt as if his energy had been drained, like an eggplant beaten by frost that suddenly withered. He no longer struggled or roared, but fell to the ground helplessly, his face full of despair and grief.

"What's wrong with being an uncle? Counselor Huang, please explain yourself clearly."

Wang Yaowu complained.

Zhou Zhidao, commander of the 151st Brigade of the 51st Division, who had been silent, also said: "Commander Huang, what are you looking like in such a panic? Tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Staff Officer Huang excitedly raised a few pieces of paper in his hand and said: "What I am holding is a certificate of appreciation. A certificate of appreciation is a way of commendation for the Japanese army. It is also called a certificate of appreciation. Generally speaking, it is issued by superiors. A thank-you document is used to commend subordinates who have applied combat skills. This kind of thank-you document will write down in detail the merits and achievements of the commended personnel. At the same time, the issuer of the testimonial will write words of gratitude and encouragement to the recipient. Japan It is more common in the army for a wing commander to issue a certificate of thanks to his subordinate officers and soldiers, or for a brigade commander to issue a certificate of thanks to his subordinate wing, and most of the recipients are collective combat units."

"But the one I have in my hand is a certificate of appreciation issued to an individual. It is very rare. The recipient is Kanjiro Nishi, but the issuer of this certificate is the uncle of the Emperor of Japan."

Wang Yaowu still didn't seem to understand, and asked: "Even if it is a commendation from the Japanese prince, what does it have to do with whether the Japanese prince is far away from us?"

"Commander, the content of this sentiment, to put it simply, is that the Japanese prince commended Nishi Kanjiro for his contribution in a battle, and wrote at the end that he was waiting at the brigade headquarters to which the second lieutenant belonged. His triumphant return should not be far from our position, and the certificate of appreciation was issued yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Wei's eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked loudly: "Counsel Huang, what is the name of this uncle of the Bird Emperor?"

Officer Huang took another look and said, "Prince Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace."
