In the southern suburbs of Shimen, nearly ten days have passed since the Eighth Route Army attacked Shimen. Since the Waishigou strongholds in the west and south directions were destroyed, the Japanese army forcibly recruited local people as laborers to renovate the Waishigou strongholds and fortifications.
Under the escort of the Japanese army, the reconnaissance company successfully arrived at the southern suburbs of Shimen. Looking around, there were at least two to three thousand workers working under the supervision of the puppet soldiers. These puppet soldiers beat and cursed at every turn, and when they were whipped, blood stains were directly exposed on the workers' backs.
More than a hundred soldiers in the reconnaissance company looked at it with eyes split open, and their eyes seemed to be on fire. One soldier couldn't help but pick up his gun, and Cao Dabao grabbed him: "Don't move!"
"Company Commander!"
"Listen to the order!" Cao Dabao shouted, and then said to the Japanese second lieutenant on the side: "The junction point has been chosen here, we will wait for your commander here!"
"Hi, please wait!" The Japanese second lieutenant bowed politely, and then ran towards a large stronghold in Neishigou.
There were about thirty Japanese soldiers traveling with the reconnaissance company, all of whom were young Japs. Cao Dabao learned from what he learned along the way that these Japs should be the new recruits who had just arrived at Shimen, and there were about two thousand of them.
people.
According to the information inadvertently revealed by the young Japanese recruits, the strength of the Shimen garrison was approximately the size of a mixed brigade.
Not long after, the highest commander of the Japanese army in Shimen, the commander of the 108th Infantry Brigade, Yamanaka Koichi, and the consul stationed in Shimen, Sawada Yoji, arrived at the handover scene.
A few Japanese children were not enough for Yamanaka Koichi to go out in person, but Mitsubishi Heavy Industries had a profound influence on Japan's military and political circles, and also had a profound influence among the Japanese expatriates in Shimen.
All the Japanese expatriates in the Jingxing mining area were captured by the Eighth Route Army. After the Shimen crisis was resolved, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries personnel stationed in Shimen continued to put pressure on the consulate and the Japanese army.
Sawada Yoji glanced at Yamanaka Koichi who was walking behind with dissatisfaction, snorted softly, and walked straight towards the location of the reconnaissance company. The originally extremely arrogant puppet army suddenly shrank when they saw a group of Japanese troops leaving the city.
, his speaking voice lowered.
"I am Sawada Yoji, the consul of the Japanese Government Consulate in Shimen. I am very grateful to your army for your noble hand in releasing my captured overseas Chinese!" Sawada Yoji showed an extremely kind attitude and took the initiative to bow.
Cao Dabao suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Mr. Consul, this is a personal letter from the chief of our army!"
Sawada Yoji took Zhou Weihan's handwritten letter, his expression changed several times as he read the contents, and then handed the letter to Yamanaka Koichi behind him.
"Your army is an army of benevolence and righteousness, but I can only express my respect to your army on my own behalf!" Yoji Sawada said sincerely: "Excuse me, can the other captured overseas Chinese be released?"
"When our army recaptured the Jingxing Mining Area, the expatriates in the mining area were fully armed and resisted our army. They can be regarded as soldiers rather than civilians. Of course, our army will treat prisoners well in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Convention. You can rest assured of this!
"
"I also have a little doubt here. You came uninvited in the name of the ***** circle and burned, killed and looted within our military territory. I don't know how many civilians died under your butcher's knife. These were forcibly recruited
At this point, the people who built the fortifications are also civilians, why should they suffer unfair treatment!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Consul and the officer behind you, aren't they civilians?" Cao Dabao asked sharply.
"This!" Sawada Yoji was speechless, and then said: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure their personal safety and the treatment they deserve!"
"I hope so. Please don't forget that what we stand under our feet is our Chinese territory. As long as you are still in China, our resistance will not stop. The victory of the war will ultimately belong to us and to our Chinese people."
To millions of our compatriots!”
Since Dong Jiang became the leader of the assault regiment, Cao Dabao took over Dong Jiang's team. On weekdays, he was a dull gourd in the eyes of the soldiers. He spent most of his time training with the soldiers, and spent his free time holding books.
Today I was really angry at the little devil's behavior. I was so angry that I couldn't express the words that were stuck in my heart.
"Farewell!" After Cao Dabao finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to put down the 18 Japanese children on the carriage, and then disappeared from the sight of the little devils on horseback.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was moving further and further away, the adjutant asked in a low voice: "Commander of the brigade, the Eighth Route Army is about to move further. Do you want to notify the soldiers to take action?"
Before Yamanaka Koichi could reply, Sawada Yoji turned around and said angrily to the adjutant: "Baga Yalu, you are simply not worthy of being a soldier. As a consul, I think you are discrediting the Empire of Japan!"
"Hi!" the adjutant responded quickly, lowering his head.
Faced with Sawada Yoji's accusations and accusations, Yamanaka Koichi certainly understood the dissatisfaction of Japanese expatriates such as Sawada Yoji and Shimon. This was the result of the forced conscription of the expatriates into the army.
The main force of the 110th Division and the division commander Iinuma Mamoru were all killed in Motou Town. This was an unprecedented blow to the Japanese army, but Yamanaka Koichi was the only beneficiary.
After that, Yamanaka Cho became the highest-ranking officer of the Japanese garrison at Shimen, wielding great power. Considering that the consulate represented the Japanese government, he wanted to make his position more secure.
Yamanaka Chaoichi patiently said: "Sawada-kun, please be patient. The Eighth Route Army's real intention is unknown. In order to avoid dangerous incidents, the Imperial Army must make perfect arrangements. Of course, it can be canceled now!"
"I hope so!" Sawada Yoji sneered: "Yamanaka-kun, the imperial army's successive defeats in China are not accidental. History has proven that China has always been a strong nation. They are waking up. I seem to have seen this
At the end of the war, perhaps the party representing justice can win this war!"
"The imperial army has created too much blood in China. If we really wait until the end of the war, I can't imagine what kind of trial we will have to undergo as a defeated country. Please restrain your subordinates, Mr. Yamanaka, and don't do it again."
The Great Japan Co-Prosperity Sphere is smearing!”
After Sawada Yoji finished speaking, he led a group of Japanese children into the city. The puppet army officer on the side saw that it was a rare opportunity to contact a senior Japanese official, so he came over to flatter him: "Taijun, please don't worry, I will definitely supervise the workers."
Complete the construction tasks as planned!"
Yamanaka Chaoichi looked at the flattering smile on the faces of the puppet soldiers in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart: "You guys, why don't you have the bloody spirit that Chinese people should have? Why are you timid in the face of battle? Are you sincerely serving the Empire of Japan?
Are you serving?"
The puppet army officer looked at Yamanaka Chaoichi's ferocious face and couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "Taijun, I definitely serve the imperial army sincerely!"
"Youxi!" Yamanaka smiled and patted the puppet army officer on the shoulder: "Then prove it with actual actions!"
The puppet army officer nodded hurriedly in response, but saw a bright saber stabbed into his abdomen.
"Taijun, I, I!" The puppet army officer held the saber in both hands, as if begging Yamanaka Chaoichi to show mercy again, and then blood dripped down the palms of his hands onto the ground.
"Bagaya Road, the Japanese Empire will never fail, the Imperial Army will win!" Yamanaka Toichi pulled out his saber and stabbed the puppet officer fiercely again.
Knowing that the puppet army officer fell to the ground, his body was twitching continuously, his face was touching the cold ground, and he tried his best to open his unwilling eyes, but he still didn't seem to understand why the little Japanese wanted to kill him.
