Chapter 177 Is there any reason why I dont work for Master Gao?
Murata Shuzo slowly opened his eyes, but the moment he opened his eyes, he immediately felt a pain in his head, as if someone was digging hard with a steel nail.
"ah……"
The severe pain made him groan uncontrollably.
Along with his cry and light footsteps from far to near, a clear voice sounded in his ears: "Major Murata, are you awake?"
Murata Shuzo tried his best to open his eyes wide. After several minutes of adjustment, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly. It turned out to be a young female nurse wearing a white nurse uniform.
This female nurse was petite and exquisite, with a fair face that looked quite beautiful. Murata Shuzo looked at her and seemed familiar, and asked doubtfully: "Are you..."
The female nurse bowed slightly towards him: "Major...I am Miyoko Sugita, please take good care of me."
"Oh... I remember." After hearing what the other party said, Murata Shuzo immediately had an impression, "You are the leader of the nurse team of the division field hospital. I have met you in the division. I remember this.
You will also follow us during this mission..."
Speaking of this, Murata Shuzo suddenly remembered, hadn't he been ambushed by the Chinese in Dulong Ridge, and everyone including the first team was crushed to pieces? How could he still be alive?
Thinking of this, he asked with some confusion: "Miss Miyoko, where are we? Didn't we encounter a Chinese attack that day? Did Captain Ota Ryūji bring someone back to rescue us?"
"Shh..."
Unexpectedly, when Miyoko Sugita heard this, she immediately showed an anxious look and put her finger to her lips to make a silent gesture.
"Major Murata, you can never call them Zakushina people anymore. We are now..."
"You are no longer a major!"
Before Miyoko Sugita could finish her words, the tent curtain was pushed open, and three Japanese soldiers walked in. Shuzo Tomomura almost got angry when he saw the military rank of the other party.
The man at the head was actually just a second lieutenant, and the two Japanese soldiers standing next to him were only a first class soldier and a second class soldier.
In the excitement, Murata Shuzo ignored the pain of the wound and sat up directly. He shouted angrily: "Bagaya Road, which army are you from? Do you have any superiority or inferiority?"
"Is there superiority or inferiority?"
The leading second lieutenant laughed loudly and said to Miyoko Sugita: "Miss Miyoko, please tell him, what is his current status?"
"Um?"
Shuzo Murata immediately realized that something was wrong with what the second lieutenant said, and turned to look at Miyoko Sugita, "Miss Miyoko, please tell me, where is this place?"
Miyoko Sugita hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "Major Murata, this... this is a... Chinese military camp, and you are... now... a prisoner of the Chinese."
"captive?"
Murata Shuzo felt his eyes go dark, his whole body began to shake, and he said in disbelief: "I...I was taken as a prisoner?"
"That's right, you are a prisoner now." The second lieutenant laughed ferociously, "I didn't expect that a dignified Major, His Excellency, was actually a prisoner. If I remember correctly, you should be the most captured person in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Is he the highest-ranking officer captured?"
"You...you lied!"
Murata Shuzo angrily scolded, and then looked at Sugita Miyoko aside, as if he was asking about the authenticity of the news, but what he saw was Sugita Miyoko's somewhat bitter and helpless look.
Now Murata Shuzo really believed it. He also recalled the last scene before he fell into coma. It seemed that he was captured by the Chinese after he fell into coma.
Taking a deep breath, Murata Shuzo seemed to have regained his majesty as a major. He said with a stern face: "Young man, you are also an officer. If you still maintain the most basic respect for me, please give me my
Return the saber to me and let me commit suicide by caesarean section to preserve the last dignity of an officer!"
"The dignity of an officer? Hahaha...are you talking to me about dignity?"
The second lieutenant suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he almost shed tears.
Seeing the mad second lieutenant, Murata Shuzo's heart sank, "You...you actually abandoned the dignity of an officer and joined the Chinese people?"
"certainly!"
The second lieutenant stopped laughing and looked particularly ferocious. He glared at Shuzo Murata and said word by word: "You are right, I did join Mr. Gao of China, but what you said about the dignity of an officer does not matter to me.
That's bullshit.
I'm afraid you don't know, Major, that before I took refuge with you, I had already served in the army for four years, but I was still just a small private. According to regulations, I had reached the end of my service period in March this year.
I can return to my homeland, but just because my squadron leader doesn’t like me and refuses to approve my application, what do you think he wants to do, Major?"
"What do you want to do...Of course I want you to die in China."
Shuzo Murata has been a soldier for almost ten years. He can be said to be knowledgeable about all aspects of the army. Of course he knows the darkness in the army.
In the army, if a soldier offends an officer, he almost gets an invitation from the King of Hell.
It's just a small trick to suppress the soldiers' discharge application and not let them retire. When they go to the battlefield, the officer can even assign the most dangerous tasks to him openly. If you don't go... Congratulations, he has a hundred ways to deal with it.
you.
And it stands to reason that a soldier who has served for four years should at least be promoted to a corps commander or even a sergeant, but the man in front of him is still just a superior soldier. If there is no one to suppress him, I will not believe it.
Murata Shuzo was silent for a moment, "Even so...this is not the reason for you to betray the Japanese Empire."
"Yeah?"
The second lieutenant snorted coldly, "Why... In terms of battlefield experience, combat ability and even command ability, I, Ihara Heihachi, am ten times better than that idiot squadron leader. Just because he has a good background and just because he went to the sergeant school, so I
Can you easily decide my life or death...I refuse to accept it!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These last three words, Ihara Heihachi almost yelled out.
Looking at Ihara Heihachi, whose eyes turned red due to excitement, Murata Shuzo suddenly felt speechless. Survival is human instinct. It seemed reasonable that Ihara Heihachi surrendered to the Chinese people rather than wait for death.
However, he understands, but he still deeply despises Ihara Heihachi's move to seek refuge with the Chinese, "Ihara Heihachi, although I deeply sympathize with your experience, this is not an excuse for you to seek refuge with the Chinese.
Although I don’t know what your purpose is in saving me, I advise you to give up on that, I won’t go along with you.”
"Yeah?"
Ihara Heihachi laughed ferociously, "Major Murata, I know that your Murata family is also a famous family in Tokyo. If we publish the news of your capture in the newspaper, do you think this news will spread to the mainland?
Or if I invite a few Chinese soldiers to take a group photo with you, and then publish the photo, do you think the reputation of the Murata family will be completely destroyed in one day?"
"You...you are shameless. If you still think you are an imperial warrior, please kill me. Don't torture me in such a way that is degrading to the dignity of a warrior."
"The dignity of the samurai?" Ihara Heihachi laughed so hard, "You are talking to me, a descendant of a woodcutter, about the dignity of the samurai. Are you talking to the wrong person?"
Murata Shuzo was speechless for a while, and then he realized how terrible it would be for a person to lose his bottom line.
"Come on, come on... Miss Miyoko, please take a photo of Major Murata. Remember to make it look good. After all, it will be published in the newspaper."
"I..." Miyoko Sugita hesitated slightly, and Heihara's expression darkened, "Why...isn't Miss Miyoko not willing?"
"No, no...I...I'll take the photo right away."
Seeing Ihara Heihachi's gloomy face, Sugita Miyoko was so frightened that she quickly took the camera handed over by Ihara Heihachi and took several kinds of photos of Murata Shuzo before returning the camera to him.
Ihara Heihachi took the camera and raised it in front of Murata Shuzo, "Mr. Murata, if nothing unexpected happens, your photo will be published in major newspapers in China in a week. I believe your family will see it.
You will like it very much. If you have anything to say to me, just come to me."
After saying that, Ihara Heihachi walked out of the tent with a smile.
Seeing Ihara Heihachi leaving, Murata Shuzo was anxious and angry and fainted again.
When he woke up, it was already three days later.
The one who treated him was still Miyoko Sugita.
This time, he also understood something through the conversation with Miyoko Sugita.
It turns out that Murata Shuzo originally committed suicide with the Nanbu Type 14 pistol he carried. However, as we all know, Nanbu pistols are notoriously bad. Their power is so powerful that they cannot even penetrate slightly thicker boards. It is precisely because of this that Murata Shuzo
Only then was he able to survive.
Since he fell into coma, he, Miyoko Sugita, seven or eight nurses and dozens of Japanese soldiers were captured by the Rendai militia. Gao Hongming sent Miyoko Sugita and others to the Japanese National Defense Army where Heihachi Ihara was.
It is precisely because of this that Murata Shuzo was lucky enough to survive.
"Where are the soldiers who were captured with me?" Murata Shuzo asked.
"They... they..." Miyoko Sugita hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Some of them have agreed to join Mr. Ihara Heihachi's Japanese National Defense Army, and some have not agreed. Those who have not agreed to surrender are now being
Mr. Heihachi Ihara is interrogating."
"Nani?"
As soon as Murata Shuzo heard this, he felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart to his head, "Miss Miyoko, could you please take me over?"
"Well...you are still injured," Miyoko dissuaded.
"Don't worry, my injury has healed a lot. It's still okay to walk a few steps."
"Okay then." Miyoko Sugita couldn't help Shuzo Murata, so she helped him out of the tent.
Since the number of the Japanese National Guards was not large, the camp was relatively small. After walking for a while, the two of them came to a large tent.
When they arrived at the tent, the two of them saw two Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms and holding 38 large caps standing guard at the door. If it weren't for the soldier's left arm wearing an armband embroidered with the Japanese National Protector Army, Shuzo Murata would have
I thought I was back in the Japanese military camp again.
The two soldiers standing guard did not stop them when they saw them coming, but simply allowed them to enter.
As soon as the two opened the door curtain, they heard a burst of screams and the sound of whips coming from inside.
"ah……"
"Crack... crack"
As soon as the two of them entered, they saw a bare-chested soldier whipping a man tied to a pillar with a whip. Murata Shuzo recognized at a glance that the man being beaten was actually a member of his own brigade.
Cao Chang.
There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in ragged clothes surrounding the pillar, and further away there were dozens of Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles, but all of these soldiers had "Japan" on their left arms.
Armband with the words "National Protector".
Ihara Heihachi was sitting lazily on a chair, playing with a pistol.
Seeing the arrival of Murata Shuzo, he lazily raised his head and glanced at Murata: "Hey... our Major, you finally figured it out? Are you coming here to join the ranks of our national defense army?"
"I... Hara... Ping... Hachi!" Seeing this scene, Murata couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted word by word: "Aren't you afraid that if the news spreads to the mainland, your family will suffer?
?”
"Spread to the mainland?"
Ihara Heihachi snorted coldly: "Who will pass it on? Is it you...or them?"
"On the contrary, if you don't surrender, Mr. Gao will take a photo of each of you, add your name, rank and place of origin, and publish it in a Chinese newspaper. Then I want to see whose family member died first.
?”
Hearing this, many Japanese prisoners turned pale. Once the Japanese government believed that they had surrendered to the Chinese, all their family members in the mainland would definitely be thrown into prison.
The men will be tortured to death, and the women will be even worse. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to die.
Although the Japanese army was famous for its brutality, their attitude towards their families was no different from that of people from other countries. After all, human beings are all emotionally connected.
"Everyone!"
Ihara Heihachi stood up, looked at everyone and said loudly: "Like you, I was a member of the 41st Division half a year ago, but just a few months ago in the battle of Qixiaguan, I took the initiative to surrender to the Chinese.
To be precise, he surrendered to Mr. Gao.
The reason is simple, because my squadron leader didn't want me to return to my homeland alive, so I had to take refuge with Master Gao in order to survive. Originally, I thought I would be tortured endlessly, but I was wrong.
Not only did Mr. Gao not torture me, but he promoted me to a military rank and made me the commander of the Japanese National Defense Army. He also told me that as long as I work for him seriously, he will give me a military rank when Japan is defeated.
A large sum of money will allow me to return to my hometown in glory.
He even promised me to hold a position in the local police station. You think... with such a good condition, why should I not work for Mr. Gao?"
