Independence Corps

Chapter 27 Bloody Battle (3)
Before dawn, at about 4:20, Bi Chuanyun took two guards, greeted the fifth battalion commander, and went down the mountain to the 12th division.Bai Jianjiang chased him out, and wanted to say something, but after several turns in his mouth, he still didn't say it.When Bi Chuanyun's figure completely disappeared into the valley, he slapped his thigh fiercely: "Grandma, I can't even see the way of this battle!"

What's even more strange is still to come. I thought that the devils' large-scale attack would start at dawn, but I waited for more than three hours on the mountain pass, but instead of seeing the devils attacking forward, I vaguely saw it. , Group after group of devils quietly backed away.

"Where did Little Japan come from?" Bai Jianjiang stared wide-eyed, he was really confused by the little devil's actions.

Realizing that he had made a stupid mistake, Commander Kazuo Miyatahara roared like thunder.

"Idiot, idiot, they are all a bunch of idiots!" He cursed out all the curse words he had learned in China, and still couldn't let go of his hatred, he pulled out his saber and forced Oda, who was reporting to him, to stop him.

"Didn't it say that the Red Shuigou was unimpeded, how could it be blocked?"

Atom Oda took a few steps back in fright, and said with a trembling voice, "Report to the commander, when the imperial army was in Baishuihe, they did not receive any information. Commander Izawa said..."

"say what?"

"There's something wrong with our intelligence system."

"Yoshi, information, Yoshi, information." Miyatahara Kazuo walked around the room with a steel knife in his hand.In fact, the moment Colonel Benz's subordinates met Shen Mengzi and the others in Hongshuigou, he knew that there was a problem with the intelligence, but he was unwilling to admit it.Now that Atom Oda has emphasized so much, he has no choice but to admit it.

"You go back immediately and tell Izawa-kun to calm down. I will solve the intelligence problem right away."

"Ha Yi!" Oda Atom responded with a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out.

"You come back." Commander Miyata called out again, and Atom Oda was taken aback, afraid that Miyata might change his mind.You know, Commander Miyata has an astonishingly bad temper every time he loses a battle. His previous Ohara Sawaji was killed by Miyata because of a wrong sentence.

"You don't have to worry, go to the back to rest first, I will send someone to escort you, and when you leave, bring a few more women to Izawa-kun."

Hearing about the woman, Atom Oda immediately became excited, and his pupils dilated a lot in an instant.Or the commander is thoughtful, the soldiers in front haven't touched a woman for a long time.

After leaving Atom Oda, Miyata immediately picked up the phone and called Okamoto: "Tell Masao Kurano to come see me right away!"

Commander Miyata is already convinced that the current series of problems may be caused by Masao Kurano.

"Kurano-kun, you will pay the price for being unfaithful to me!" He put the steel knife back into the scabbard fiercely, returned to the desk, and stood for a long time before he could control his emotions.

It's no wonder that Miyata was so angry. One after another news made him collapse. First, Masano Nakata, the commander of the 25th Division who was in charge of cleaning up the Maihe battlefield, reported to him that the 25th Division and the 13th Division had been fooled by Yan Xishan. The "China" army killed was by no means two divisions, but two brigades!Miyata didn't understand. His intelligence department told him clearly that all the troops of the 126th Division and 137th Division that had withdrawn from Gucheng were stationed in the Maihe area. How could it become two brigades?When he followed Nakata Masano to Maihe, after carefully counting the corpses, he discovered that the "China" army killed did not even reach two brigades, at best they were two reinforced regiments.

"Bastard!" He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. As soon as the encirclement and annihilation battle was over, he happily reported the good news to the supreme commander Neiji Gangmura. The two divisions suddenly became two regiments. I know, I'm afraid he won't be able to save his life.

"Strictly seal the news, immediately find out for me, where did the 126th and 137th divisions go!"

Two days later, the intelligence department reported to him that Yan Xishan had played a trick when he withdrew from Gucheng, and withdrew the large army from Xuji between Maihe and Jiulongshan to the base camp, that is, to his side.In Maihe and Jiulongshan, there are only two independent regiments left. These two independent regiments are not Mr. Yan's own, they were snatched from others during the reorganization.

Commander Miyata was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that the "China" army could slip away from under his nose.It seemed that the intelligence force he had worked so hard to cultivate was not as brave and invincible as he praised.

Maihe's humiliation has not been completely forgotten, and Hongshuigou has suffered heavy losses, losing a brigade for nothing. This is the biggest loss he has ever suffered since he became the commander of the southern front. How could Commander Miyata not be annoyed!

At 4:12 p.m. on the third day, Masao Kurano, escorted by a group of people, arrived at the new headquarters of Commander Tanigi Miyata.Unlike the courtyard house where Miyata loved to live in the past, this time Miyata set up his headquarters in a temple in Gucheng.The national army abandoned Gucheng, and the monks in the temple also ran away, leaving an empty temple.Miyata had never lived in a temple before, and he wanted to experience it.Of course, Miyata did this because he also had a vicious heart. He said that the Buddha's territory is a pure land, and the filth of the world cannot be tolerated. He wanted to see if the Buddha of the "Chinese people" could tolerate the empire of Japan. Military prostitute?He wanted to do that kind of thing in front of the Buddha statue, and after he finished, he sprinkled hot urine on the Buddha statue.

Masao Kurano's expression was calm, he didn't say a word along the way, and Major Takeyasu, who was in charge of monitoring him, also didn't say a word, the two had their own thoughts, and neither could guess what the other was thinking.The moment he walked into the temple, Masao Kurano instinctively put his hands together and murmured something, which was caught by the sensitive Major Takeyasu.Zhu Kang didn't stop him, but he didn't follow his example and pay respect to the Buddha.

Commander Miyata stood in the red door of the main hall, watching Masao Kurano tenderly through the quiet afternoon sun.Strange, why did Miyata, who was still in a rage just now, suddenly feel better?

"Report to the commander, Kurano-kun has brought it." Zhu Yasushi took a step ahead and reported to Miyata.

Miyata smiled and said something disdainful to Zhuyasu: "I have long eyes." Then he said politely to Masao Kurano, "Kurano-kun has worked hard all the way."

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander." Masao Kurano stopped his pace, and his eyes rested on Miyata's face calmly.

Miyata laughed loudly, and invited Kurano to enter the main hall, while Zhu Yasushi and the others were blocked from the main hall.

Masao Kurano raised his head and looked up at the Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall. Half of the body of the Bodhisattva was exposed, and the right eye was gouged out. No need to guess, it was done by Miyata.

He bent down and kowtowed three times respectfully.The incense table in front of the Buddha has been moved somewhere, and there are two burnt red wax lying on the ground, and a few scattered yellow incense sticks in the incense ashes.Kurano unhurriedly picked up the few sticks of incense, lit the candles with fire, finished offering the incense reverently, and bowed again.

"Kurano-kun is really a believer. Wherever he goes, he will never forget to pay homage to the Buddha." Miyata stood aside, with a big belly, saying something in his words.

Kurano replied: "Buddha has long eyes, he can see everything."

"Haha, Kurano-kun, the Buddha in front of you has only one eye, and after a while, he will lose one eye." Miyata Lang smiled and left, and went inside.The guards walked in and took Kurano into the temporary headquarters behind the main hall.

As soon as he walked into the headquarters, Miyata's face immediately became dark, and his voice was far less gentle than in the main hall.

"Kurano-kun, do you know why you were called urgently?"

"Kurano is stupid, please tell the commander clearly."

"Stupid? When did Kurano-kun become so humble? You know, you are Zhuge Liang of our Great Japanese Empire!" Miyata said sarcastically.

Masao Kurano remained stern, and was not disturbed by Miyata's lust.Among the Japanese army, Masao Kurano was a person with a very special identity and status. He was not a soldier. He used to teach in a Japanese middle school, and occasionally talked to the students about Chinese culture.After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army searched everywhere for people who had relations with China, hoping that they could contribute to this "jihad".The supreme commander Neiji Gangmura found him among thousands of targets and forcibly pulled him into the barracks.In the beginning, Kurano refused to accept life and death, and even threatened Neiji Gangmura with suicide.Reluctantly, this "jihad" was initiated by His Majesty the Emperor, and Kurano's resistance did not have any effect. In the end, he put on his battle robe and came to China.And before coming to China, he had his brainwashed by the emperor's devil training class.On the northern front, Masao Kurano also made a lot of contributions to the army of the Empire of Japan. In addition to translation, he was also responsible for the psychological research of Chinese soldiers and the work of intelligence agencies.The Japanese army's successful use of psychological attacks on the Northeast battlefield has a lot to do with Masao Kurano's accurate grasp of the psychology of Chinese soldiers.After deciding to attack Miliang City, Okamura Ningji was the first to call him to his side: "Miliang City is the second hometown of Mr. Kurano, but this is just a Chinese saying. As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, you have to Take Miliang City as a shame. In this battle, you want to bring back all the shame of the 3 years from the age of 14 to the age of 11, do you understand what I mean?"

Cangye shook his head, he didn't expect that what he had been worrying about finally happened. The rice grain city he had been dreaming about still failed to escape the catastrophe, and would eventually be under the artillery fire of the enemy army.

"Kurano-kun, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, I ask you to swear an oath of allegiance to the Emperor and die for the Holy War."

Kurano Masao put his legs together and swore as if reciting a scripture: "I swear allegiance to the Emperor to the death, and die for holy war."

This kind of oath has started since the day he entered the devil training class, and he can't count hundreds of times until now.But he didn't know what such an oath meant to a Japanese who grew up in China, but he had to do it because he knew that he was Japanese.

On the day when the oath was completed, under the supervision of Zhukang Shaozuo and others, he traveled all the way from the northern line to here, and started his new life as an interpreter with the army.

"Kurano-kun, have you heard that the first brigade of the Izawa brigade was attacked by two Chinese forces in Hongshuigou, and none of the 1300 people survived?" Although Miyata said it lightly, Kurano found that, When saying this, Commander Miyata's shoulders twitched.

"I heard the news on the road. Such news makes me sad."

"But Kurano-kun told me half a month ago that the Hongshuigou is absolutely not in danger, and the imperial army can pass through unimpeded!" Miyatahara Kazuo suddenly raised his voice.

"Hongshuigou is a place where no one cares. Shen Mengzi, Liu Mi'er on the mountain, and Tu Lanlong at the bottom of the mountain didn't take it seriously. As for such a tragedy, I think the commander should ask your intelligence department. Has anyone leaked the news?"

"Baga! You mean, my intelligence department leaked the news on purpose?"

"This should be."

"Masao Kurano, you are too much! You know, with just 1300 people, I can send you to a military court!" Kazuo Miyatahara was furious. If he hadn't listened to Kurano, it would be impossible for him to let the 56th Division The regiment avoided the 312th Brigade of the Communist Army in the front and turned directly from the Baishui River into the Hongshuigou.He had already recorded this account on Masao Kurano.Unexpectedly, Masao Kurano is shameless and wants to shift the responsibility to the intelligence department.

"If the commander insists on sending it away, I can't help it. Kurano's life has long been handed over to His Majesty the Emperor, and it is up to the commander to dispose of it."

"you--"

After getting angry, Miyata finally remembered that Kurano is a person who prefers softness to toughness. This person has a weird personality and is hard to fathom, but without him, the rice grain war would be unimaginable.

Miyata smiled again, and his tone softened a lot: "Okay, Cangye-kun, one defeat doesn't mean anything, what we should do is to completely defeat the Chinese people in front of us, and let Miliangshan become my big brother." The rice grain mountain of the Japanese empire provided a strong guarantee for the imperial army to sweep across China, do you understand what I mean?"

"Kurano understands!" Kurano Masao cheered up and replied very contagiously.

"Okay, now please tell me, where is the secret road from Hongshuitong to Huajialing?"

"Secret way?" Kurano shuddered, staring at Miyata in surprise.

"According to my intelligence department, there is a secret passage in Hongshuigou, which can lead directly to Huajialing from the bottom of the ditch. If this secret passage had been known earlier, the first brigade would not have died in vain," said Miyata. As he spoke, he walked over lightly, and patted Kurano's shoulder with his hand.This action somewhat intended to flatter Masao Kurano.

Kurano moved back half a step, and put his gaze on Miyata's face suspiciously: "Kurano is ignorant, and Kurano has never heard of the channel that the commander said."

"Never heard of it?" Miyata's face darkened, and he said in surprise, "No way, Cangye-kun has lived in Miliangshan for 11 years. As far as I know, during those 11 years, Cangye-kun has traveled all over the place. The ditches and ditches of Miliang Mountain."

Seeing that Kurano Masao also frowned, Miyata changed his words: "Speak out, Kurano-kun, don't you have the heart to let the imperial army be trapped in the Red Ditch and let the Chinese people stone them to death?"

Kurano's face turned red and then pale, and he seemed to be having a violent ideological struggle, but after a long silence, he actually said: "Kuraye is incompetent, please forgive me, Commander, Kurano has never heard of any secret way. "

Miyata Hara Kazuo's face suddenly changed shape, and his hand touched the knife involuntarily, but he finally restrained himself.He gritted his teeth and called Masao Kurano's name in his heart, and slowly moved his hand away from the knife: "Since Kurano-kun said so, then I will find another way, it's not difficult for Kurano-kun. But there is one more thing Please help me, Kurano-kun." He actually used the word "please", and Masao Kurano's heart rang heavily, and his straight body secretly fought coldly.

"Please tell the commander!"

"Bai Jianjiang under Shen Mengzi, is Mr. Cangye familiar?"

Kurano took a deep breath, Ichiro Miyatahara knew his relationship with Bai Jianjiang, but still asked this question, it seems that Miyata was very dissatisfied with him.

"Before the age of 14, Kurano called him elder brother. After Kurano left China and returned to his own country, he never heard from him again." Kurano could only answer truthfully, thinking urgently in his heart at the same time, Miyata asked this , what is the intention.

"Yoxi, brother, Kurano-kun, here comes your opportunity to make meritorious deeds, come, sit down and talk." Miyata asked Kurano to sit down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and at the same time yelled at the guards outside.

The guards entered in response, and Miyata smiled and said, "Bring two in, to help me and Kurano-kun."

Kurano wanted to stop it, but the guards had already retreated. He knew who Miyata was going to bring, but Kurano Masao never touched geisha, this was his principle.

Not long after, two beautiful geisha walked in with the guards.Miyata waved his hand, and the two geisha began to perform songs and dances.Both of these geishas were under 20 years old, and the younger one looked like a high school student, but on their faces was the formulaic smile of an adult woman.

Kurano's mind suddenly flashed through the innocent children he faced every day when he was a teacher. How many of them were brought to China by this "jihad"?Boys were armed as juvenile soldiers, and girls were trained as lust tools for the imperial army.When he was withdrawing from the northern line, he saw with his own eyes that a 14-year-old imperial boy soldier was hunted down by a group of Chinese peasants and beaten to death with a shovel and wooden sticks.The peasants were killed by Zhu Kang's team again.More and more innocent people were dragged into the war, which he had never thought of before, and now this problem became a burden on his mind, often tormenting him at night.

Kazuo Miyatahara pulled the plump geisha over and poured a glass of wine into her mouth.The geisha pretended to be struggling, and Miyata took the opportunity to stuff her plump hands into her half-exposed arms, pinched her plump breasts hard, and let out a wave of laughter.

Kurano turned his gaze away. Ever since he came to China, he was most afraid of seeing two things. One was the imperial army shooting innocent Chinese people, and the other was the desolate life of military geishas who pretended to be smiling.

"Kurano-kun is not interested in imperial women?" Miyata suddenly asked.

Masao Kurano shook his head hastily, he knew that Miyata had ulterior motives, if he didn't answer well, he might fall into his trap.Since coming to China, Masao Kurano has been cautious in contacting every commander.He always reminded himself that you are half Chinese and you are different from them.But what's the use?When it was time for him to help kill, he still had to help kill, and his pain was caused by this, and it grew day by day.

"Yoshi." Miyata called out and clapped her hands high. The two geisha stopped their performance and walked over to sit next to them.

"Yoko Suzuki, your task today is to make Kurano-kun happy." Miyata said to the young geisha while raising her wine glass.The one called Yoko immediately snuggled up to Kurano, with a docile smile on his face.

Kurano wanted to distance himself from Suzuki Yoko, but he was afraid that Miyata would make more vicious tricks, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reluctantly socialize.Seeing Kurano taking the bait step by step, Miyata smiled happily. His purpose today was to get Masao Kurano drunk and then lure him to tell the truth.Or the Supreme Commander is right, to deal with a nerd like Masao Kurano, you have to think of other tricks.

Masao Kurano drank a lot that day, not only was Commander Miyata forcing him, but he himself had the urge to get drunk.It's good to be drunk, and you can think about nothing when you're drunk.Unexpectedly, when he was drunk and blinded, Commander Miyata mentioned Bai Jianjiang again.

"Kurano-kun, the best way is to let your brother instigate rebellion from within, and you tell him that the Great Japanese Empire will not treat him badly."
