The sun never sets in America

Chapter 400 Ink and Savagery

"Attack, attack..."

"do not stop……"

Takezaburo, who was standing on the scorched earth, looked so "anxious" and couldn't help but look towards the left front where the artillery fire was pouring.

In that position, the khaki Japanese and Mexican troops, as well as the U.S. troops in green uniforms on the opposite side, were engaged in the third offensive and defensive battle since the 10th of the month.

In this war, a total of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, 50,000 Mexican troops, and the 12th Division of the Han Army responsible for suppressing the formation were used as backup.

Of course, this "backup" can only be a backup, and it is almost impossible to get a frontline support.

The only mission of the Twelfth Division is to hold down the formation, or to put it more bluntly, to "supervise the battle."

According to the above requirements, when necessary, the 12th Division can deal with the fleeing feudal troops on its own, and can even use large-scale weapons such as machine guns.

After all, to the Han people, a dog will always be a dog, and it is impossible for it to become a human! !
"Battal Commander, those Mexicans have retreated again. Just because of their retreat, we lost a total of seventy brothers!!"

Looking at the arrogant Takesaburo in front of him, Spike groaned, then stood up from his chair and pointed his hand:
"Don't you Japanese like to talk about Bushido? I will do it with you once!!"

Takezaburo pointed directly at a dark-skinned Mexican officer who was still drinking and ordered. His tone sounded very tough, completely different from his usual "good old guy" style.

"Call me??"

In his eyes, what qualifications does Takesaburo, a Japanese dwarf, have to be comparable to him, a Mexican noble officer? Apart from being a bit brutal, this group of Japanese are just "thugs" and "minions" in the eyes of Mexican officers like Spike. combination.

"How about it, little dwarf, weapons or fists, it doesn't matter, you choose!!"

As soon as Takesaburo came in, he was faced with the cynicism of the Mexican officers. It could even be said that these people did not take him as a major battalion commander in their eyes at all.

Gunshots rang out and everyone froze.

Spike pointed his finger at his slightly bearded chin, slumped down on the chair, crossed his legs, looked frivolous, looked up, and didn't take Takesaburo seriously at all.

"Spike, if you are a man, come out and don't shrink your head like a soldier and run around like a mouse on the battlefield!!"

Takesaburo's Mandarin is becoming more and more standard, and even when he speaks, he can no longer feel the obvious Yokohama accent.

"What, is this Bushido, or do you want me to give you a katana?"

.........

“Isn’t this Captain Zhu??”

Spike kept hitting Takezaburo lying on him with his fists, and the people around him also tried their best to pull Takezaburo down, but this often only made him bite harder.

Listening to the "noise" in his ears, Takesaburo dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground with a "pop" sound, and then walked into the position without looking back.

"Pop", the fist failed, "Peng", Spike's fist hit Takesaburo's face, knocking him to the ground.

Before taking the two people away, he glanced around with murderous eyes and left a message:
“If you can’t win this war, you go to the front lines and fill trenches!!”

Their jokes even include insulting words like "dwarf" and "Japanese pig."

"boom!!"

"Spike, come out..."

When these words are said in Spanish, it is considered "fun".

Listening to the words "little dwarf" in his ears, Takesaburo's face turned red, steam came out of his nostrils, and then he spoke:
“I don’t need a weapon to beat you, just my fists are enough!!”

"Damn it, let go!!"

"Okay, two majors are fighting, so many officers are watching!!"

"Damn it, you're a lunatic!!"

Zeng Bo, commander of the Han Army of the 0th Division, walked in with a silver pistol in his hand and glanced at these "bastards fighting in a nest" with the eyes of a tiger eating people.

"You two, come here!!"

Just when Spike was feeling proud, Takesaburo suddenly bit his thigh. Before he could react, he pushed him down and kept biting and beating him.

"Otherwise, I will ask for instructions now and send you to the battlefield!!"

Spike looked down at Takesaburo lying on the ground, his eyes full of teasing, like a cat playing with a "mouse" at the mercy of others.

"Haha, maybe I win and lose again, but not necessarily!!"

Zeng Bo picked up the silver pistol and pointed at the tattered Spike who had been bitten by Takesaburo, as well as Takesaburo with a bruised nose and swollen face and blood at the corner of his mouth.

"what!!"

"How's it going? Did you win??"

"Two heroes, so awesome!!"

"Why, everyone wants to fight so much and is so angry??"

Inside the position, those Mexican officers were bragging and spanking. They looked as cowardly as they did during the war, completely incompatible with them.

Every time I heard that those people were engaging in "pig war", senior executives like Spike would use "pig head and pig brain" to describe their Japanese counterparts.

"Ha ha……"

After all, just punch and hit! !

"You're so angry, you're going to use it on the Americans!!"

"It was really eye-opening for Zeng..."

"If we are fighting on the battlefield, we will fight off the field as well. I think both of them are practicing masters and are good at fighting!!"

Zeng Bo complained angrily about Spike and Takesaburo who were in a panic.

Spike retorted in Mandarin with a Mexican flavor: "General Zeng, I didn't do it first, it was him. He broke into our command post, insulted us, insulted us Mexicans, and finally beat me. I was forced to Counterattack..."

"you……"

"General Zeng, this guy is so greedy that he doesn't care about the life and death of our troops on the front line. He withdraws his troops midway, causing heavy casualties to our troops..."

"I asked him for an explanation, but he humiliated me. Moreover, he was the one who suggested it before the fight. I just accepted the challenge..."

Takesaburo continued to explain, looking at Spike who was "confusing right and wrong" beside him. At this moment, his hatred of Mexicans reached its extreme.

Even in his mind, the Yankees, as the enemy, are better than these Mexican cowards who "eat the soft and fear the hard".

"It's just that you broke in for no reason, and you still wanted to beat me..."

"No, it was obviously you who wasted the opportunity to fight and refused to save us, causing our army to lose seventy-six brothers..."

"asshole!!"

"idiot!!"

Seeing the two people "greeting each other cordially" in their native language, Zeng Bo had a weird expression, and then "bang banged" the table several times to control their emotions.

"I don't care who is right or wrong between you two!!"

"The only thing I care about is victory. Whoever can bring victory to me is right. Otherwise, even if you tell the truth, it is still wrong!!"

There was a hint of "wind and thunder" in Zeng Bo's eyes, and he acted with great enthusiasm.

"From now on, I will personally supervise the battle. However, if there are any deserters, the crime will be increased. If the soldier escapes, the squad leader will be punished. If the squad leader escapes, the captain will be punished. If more than a quarter of the entire army escapes, the battalion commander will be shot directly..."

As soon as Zeng Bo's words came out, Spike's face changed drastically, and he even turned pale. After all, he knew very well what kind of soldiers he had, and doing this at this time would be like killing him.

Compared to the anxious Spike, Takezaburo next to him smiled. Even though the smile was a little "painful", he didn't care. At this time, he only cared about one thing, which was to kill these "Mexican pigs" ".

To regain his lost "dignity".

Yes, the phrase "dwarf" just now really stimulated Takesaburo's most sensitive place.

If he hadn't felt it when he was in the Japanese army, after all, everyone was short. It could even be said that even if someone was over 1.6 meters tall, he would doubt whether he was a "spy".

Since arriving at Division Zero, his so-called worries quickly turned into anxiety and "low self-esteem."

If nothing else, look at the group photo of the officers of the Zero Division. The Japanese are just like children standing among the adults pretending to be "mature".

This strong sense of inferiority was not only shared by Takesaburo, but also by other Japanese officers.

It's just that the Japanese want to save face, and they don't show it on the surface at all.

This is Japanese culture, a culture called "shame". If you make a mistake, as long as you are not caught, nothing will happen. But if you are caught in public, you will either quibble or commit suicide.

The purpose of quibbling is to protect one's own face, and committing suicide is because it is difficult to bear the consequences of losing face.

There is no third way! !

This kind of culture is actually a typical island mentality, which is low self-esteem and "arrogance".

"Get out now, get back!!"

"If you still can't win the position before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, prepare to go home and plant sweet potatoes..." Although Zeng Bo's words were a "threat", they really shocked Takesaburo.

You must know that the news that he was promoted to captain due to his meritorious service and was even transferred to the Han army has spread in his hometown of Yokohama. Even the local wealthy families want to marry his sister and have a marriage with him.

It can be said that an American war completely changed the fate of Takesaburo's family.

And the more this happens, the less Takesaburo can bear the consequences of losing.

At this moment, whether it is for the sake of face in his hometown or for his sister's lifelong event, Takezaburo has no choice but to retreat! !
.............................................

Da da da……

The sound of machine gun fire and loud roars constitute the main theme of this battlefield of only a few square kilometers.

If the machine gun is the most lethal weapon on this battlefield, then the cannon is the real "iron wall".

When the Sixth Battalion under Takesaburo fell to the opponent's angled artillery again and again, his hand holding the telescope was shaking.

In the picture of the telescope, he saw with his own eyes that a soldier was blown up into the sky. When he came down, only the lower body was left. As for the upper body, he searched for a long time and finally found it on a tree that had been burnt black by the bombing.

Even this one is incomplete because the head is missing.

For the Japanese, the head is a very important place because it represents the residence of the soul and is the true gate of life.

Even the so-called "suicide by caesarean section" requires someone to borrow the wrong, and in the process of borrowing the wrong, cutting off the head has become an inevitable option.

If the Han army was cleaning the battlefield to find corpses and burn the ashes, then the Japanese army was really looking for heads.

"Pa", putting down the telescope in his hand, Takezaburo paced back and forth for a while before slowly speaking:
"Gather the remaining soldiers, I will lead the charge myself!!"

Takesaburo's eyes were abnormally red and his chapped lips were like the last struggle of a "death prisoner"! !
.........

"Gentlemen, we come from all over Japan. Some are from my hometown of Yokohama, and some are from Edo..."

"But our hearts are connected. We are all warriors, and we are all warriors of the Han Dynasty!!"

"We must never give up, we must not..."

On a high platform built with earthen walls, Takezaburo continued to lecture the remaining four hundred soldiers. With his unique Japanese accent, he thought he was speaking from a Japanese anime "chuuni" from later generations.

"The squad leader is dead, and the deputy squad leader will continue to direct the attack..."

"The captain is dead, the vice-captain follows!!"

"If I die, all of you will be me and the gears of our Sixth Battalion's progress!!"

Takesaburo has read a lot of books during this period. Apart from other things, he didn't have the "level" of speaking before. Even when he was at the dock, he was still a shameless person just to cheat a bowl of braised beef. country youth.

"Gentlemen, load the board!!"

"Onboard..."

"The Great Emperor is on board..."

"Onboard!!"

As Takezaburo took the lead in shouting the slogan "Long live Japan", similar shouts were heard throughout the land. With the unique way of speaking of the Japanese, it really had the flavor of Japanese comics.

"attack……"

"Brush", the Han sword given by the Han army was pulled out from Zhusaburo's waist and pointed forward, and the whole person became excited.

.........

Boom boom boom! ! !
Intensive artillery fire continued to hit the path forward of the 6th Battalion, just like a "test" from heaven. The artillery fire became more and more tricky each time.

The most terrifying time was when he almost hit Takesaburo who was still "crazy".

I don’t know if it was a joke or luck, but the cannonball that time was a dud, and it was this dud that saved Takesaburo’s life.

Otherwise, let alone attack at this moment, there is no question whether the Sixth Battalion will collapse.

"Can't give up, absolutely can't give up!!"

"Attack, the only option is to attack!!"

"I don't want to hear about the death rate, nor do I want to know how many people have died. I only know that we still have people and can continue to fight. As long as we can still fight, don't ask me if I want to retreat!!"

"The word retreat does not exist in my dictionary, Takesaburo!!"

Takezaburo scolded the captain who asked for retreat, and even said at the end: "I can also participate in the attack if necessary!!"

The echoes of "The mission has been fulfilled" and "Please give me the order" soon rang out from around me.

It's the first time Takesaburo has won people's hearts like this! !

Zeng Bo, who was at the rear, looked at the battle reports that kept coming in, with a "heartbroken" expression on his face.

So far in the war, the 0th Division has lost more than one-third, but it still has not captured this outlying town in Bismarck.

For Zeng Bo, who had made guarantees and written military orders, this was tantamount to a "slap in the face."

"Damn it, this damn war!!"

Zeng Bo looked at the battlefield with gray smoke rising outside, cursing in his mouth, but he quickly wrote a handwritten note and asked the guards to send a telegram to Bismarck.

"Oh, it's really a mountain of bones, and the birds are frightened!!"

Looking at the direction of the battlefield and the crows circling in the sky, Zeng Bo's expression became more and more "vicissitudes", and finally turned into a sentence: "This is war."

.........

"Da da da", the machine gun in Xiao Haicheng's hand kept firing out fiery snakes, shooting at those rice beasts who tried to take the lead.

Xiaohaicheng is very proud of being a machine gunner. Among other things, due to ratio reasons, even though the Zero Division has more machine guns than other vassal troops, it is still not as good as the orthodox Han army.

Coupled with the difference in ammunition supply standards, it is almost impossible to use machine guns without restrictions like the Han army.

This resulted in the Zero Division, and even the machine gunners of the Fan Army, having to score the best or even the most cost-effective score in the shortest possible time.

This level of rigor has also created highly qualified machine gunners in the vassal army like Xiaohaicheng.

"Da da da", the fire snakes fired, suppressing the enemy soldiers and unable to raise their heads.

"boom!!"

A mortar flew from a far corner and landed just next to Xiaohaicheng.

In an instant, he and his "lover" just disappeared.

"Can't go on like this!!"

"Tell the artillery to request artillery fire coverage. Our army will launch a full-scale attack in ten minutes!!"

When Takesaburo finished saying this, he seemed to have returned to the original moment of "seven people charging into the formation".

But this time, there may not be any bargains for him to pick up.

"Boom", listening to the sound of cannons in his ears, Takesaburo looked serious, like a prisoner rushing to the execution ground. Finally, after the last howitzer exploded, he loudly shouted:

"attack!!"

If the previous rounds of attacks were due to Takesaburo's unwillingness, then leading the charge this time was a "bet" with his own life.

He and his remaining 223 soldiers were like a "small ship" facing the waves, drifting with a hint of "fearlessness".

"kill!!"

Takesaburo held a rifle and charged into the middle section, constantly encouraging people with Japanese accented in his hometown of Yokohama.

I don’t know whether it was Takesaburo’s good fortune or a coincidence. At this critical moment, it rained.

The rain doesn't come up slowly, but pours down directly.

No one knows what this means better than Takesaburo.

So with a cry of "Kill all the rice beasts", Takezaburo rushed into the artillery position that was already wet by the rain without hesitation.

"Stab!!"

When the bayonet penetrated the body of the opposite artilleryman, Takesaburo went crazy and killed everyone he saw, until there was no more enemies left.

"Kill them all!!"

Looking at the captive kneeling on the ground, Takezaburo's eyes flashed with indifference, and his tone was low, completely different from what he had been a few months ago.

"Swipe!!"

The katana was swung, and dozens of heads fell to the ground.

Savagery and civilization are no longer so important at this moment.
