"Team leader, a kid ran away. The grenade just flashed and I saw him rolling into the trench. Do we want to pursue him?"
On the city wall, a Northeastern Army platoon leader reported to the regiment leader Wang Tong.
But in fact, Wang Tong had seen it a long time ago. He shook his head and said: "Let him go back and report the news to the Japanese. Let the little Japanese know how powerful our Northeastern Army is. I think back then, if the young marshal had not had to listen to the veteran,
I'm afraid we are still living happily in the Northeast. This young marshal is good at everything, educated and ambitious, but he just lacks the courage of the marshal. Alas!"
Wang Tong sighed. Although he shouldn't say this in front of his subordinates, sometimes he would inevitably have to complain.
But complaints were complaints, and this battle still had to be fought. While he sent people to continue to reinforce the two battlefields on the city wall, he organized a platoon to escort Lao Baanpan and the wounded soldiers out of the south gate of the city, first going east, and then turning back.
Wounded soldiers were placed in Liutaizi Village.
Of course, all of this was done after Takahashi escaped.
However, little did Wang Tong know that there were actually little Japs in the woods opposite to the south of the city.
So this time, Kitashirakawa's plan was indeed difficult to predict. Duanwu asked Lu Jian to send out scouts to investigate, but Lu Jian's scouts only found that the Japanese had left the city and intended to attack the south gate. However, he did not see the specific number of people clearly.
So when the Japs entered the forest, there were about twenty people missing, and they didn't notice at all.
So Lao Abacus took the people out of the city, and all the Japanese scouts saw them.
···············
At the same time, Takahashi had entered the city through the west gate and fled back to Kitashirakawa's headquarters.
Of course, Takahashi didn't dare to go see Kitashirakawa for washing, but found Ito first with a disgraced face and blood all over his body.
Seeing Takahashi's miserable condition, Ito was shocked and said, "You failed?"
Takahashi sobbed and said: "Your Excellency, we have fallen into the enemy's trick. I led my team to surprise the enemy's south gate, but our enemy knew we would go there and laid a large ambush there in advance.
. As soon as I led my men into the city, they encountered a torrential rain of bullets. Except for the scouts who came out of the city with us, all the combatants were shattered."
Ito turned his head angrily, and if Takahashi hadn't been following him for a long time, I'm afraid he would have slapped him with a big mouth at this time.
Because all the jade is broken, what are you doing running back by yourself? According to battlefield regulations, you will be shot even if you run back. Do you understand?
And if Prince Beibai knew about this, I'm afraid he would have to follow suit.
But Takahashi has been following him for a long time after all. Ito was silent for a long time and then said regretfully: "Takahashi, although I really want to keep you, the mission of this surprise attack was ordered by Prince Beibai. Do you think, you
Can I be forgiven by him for my failure? And you just saw that Dongcheng almost killed me for his failure. If I take you there now, your end may be even more miserable than mine."
Takahashi understood, because he knew about the fact that Ito was almost killed by Kitashirakawa just now.
His brows were furrowed, but tears were streaming down his face.
To be honest, he didn't want to die. And it was precisely because of this that he escaped.
He originally thought that even if he was scolded and dismissed from his job by playing alongside Ito, he could still save his life.
But now that I think about it, I was simply too naive. The order was given by Prince Beibai, and if I failed, there would be only death.
Moreover, Captain Ito has made it very clear that he has no ability to keep Takahashi. And from Captain Ito's words, it is not difficult to hear that when he falls into the hands of Prince Beibai, his life will be worse than death.
Therefore, it was better to die like a warrior than to live or die at that time.
Takahashi wiped away his tears and bowed: "Please, your Excellency, allow me to die like a samurai."
Ito sighed and said: "You have been following me for three years. If I had any way, I would protect you. But now, I can't protect myself, so don't blame me."
"Don't dare!"
Takahashi bowed again and saluted Ito. At this time, Ito took out the sword from his waist and held the blade with a white handkerchief and handed it to Takahashi.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency."
Takahashi saluted again, and Ito nodded, left the room, and went outside.
He wanted to give Takahashi some time to die like a samurai. And he hoped that the whole thing would end with Takahashi's death, otherwise he would definitely be the next one to die.
Time passed minute by minute, about five minutes later, and there was still no sound in the room. Ito was a little anxious, he must go to Kitashirakawa to recover his life.
He was about to go in and take a look, but at this moment, Kitashirakawa Aoi and Aso Taro walked out of the office.
Prince Beibai still had a smile on his face.
But Ito didn't dare to guess Kitashirakawa's mood, because Prince Kitashira often wore such a smile when killing people.
"Your Excellency the Prince."
Ito deliberately spoke loudly to warn Takahashi. What he meant was: Prince Beibai has come to question him, so you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being able to help you when the time comes.
And sure enough, just as Ito was greeting Kitashirakawa loudly, he heard Takahashi's muffled groan coming from inside the room. Obviously, Takahashi was also a smart man, and he knew that it was better to die than to fall into the hands of Prince Kitashirakawa.
Be strong in your hands.
Ito took a long breath and thought to himself: "Takahashi, Takahashi, don't blame me. If you don't die, I'm afraid it will be both of us."
Thinking of this, Ito Shoman stepped forward with a guilty look on his face and said: "Your Excellency, I was just thinking of asking you to plead guilty. My men did things poorly and their raid failed. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."
But unexpectedly, Kitashirakawa laughed loudly and said: "Ito, don't be nervous. I'm not here to blame you, but to celebrate with you. This mission was performed very well. Although the attack on Dragon Boat Festival
It failed, but we obtained more important information.
Our scouts discovered that a group of people quietly left the city. They seemed to be wounded soldiers. The Dragon Boat Festival was going to send them to a place to recuperate. Haha, guess where it would be? I think it must be the Dragon Boat Festival.
Lair, we are going to destroy it, hahaha!
By the way, where is the officer who led the team this time? I want to reward him. If it weren’t for his embarrassing failure, that Dragon Boat Festival would not be so relieved to send away the wounded soldiers. Hahaha!"
Kitashirakawa washed his hands and laughed one after another. However, at this time, Ito's mouth twitched, and then he quickly turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Takahashi, Takahashi, you don't have to commit seppuku, His Excellency the Prince is here to reward you."
