The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of high explosives, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and craters.
Li Chenzhe led a correspondent and a squad of soldiers to run quickly on the bumpy terrain. Li Chenzhe moved very quickly. In the terrain without cover, he always bent over, put his body's center of gravity downward, and was running.
It was always in an S shape so as not to be targeted by the Japanese machine gunners or sharpshooters.
At this time, Li Chenzhe had lost the childishness and bookishness on his face. Although he had been a soldier for less than a year, his military career and life and death experience on the battlefield had already tempered him into a qualified officer.
"Quick, keep up!"
Li Chenzhe, who was out of breath from running too fast, couldn't help but urge the soldiers behind him to catch up.
"Company Commander, you...why are you in such a hurry? Those Japs are right there anyway, and there are two rows and two rows of brothers watching, so they can't escape."
"You know nothing!" Li Chenzhe glared at his correspondent, "Those Japs are very valuable. If we can capture a few, our company will be exposed!"
While they were talking, they ran to a depression, and a second lieutenant hurriedly came up to them and said in an excited tone: "Company Commander, we have surrounded more than a dozen little Japs this time, but they are still hiding in the crater.
If they resist here, tell me, do you want to die or live? I just gave them a few minutes to think about it, and made it clear that they will not wait until it is too late."
Li Chenzhe glared at the platoon leader and cursed: "Idiot, if I'm going to die, why should I go there myself? This Japs are worthless if they're dead. Only Japs who are alive are valuable. Think about it. If we can catch
If more than a dozen living Japs were sent to the division headquarters, not to mention our Sixth Company, but our entire teaching group would be proud of their faces! But we can't just wait like this, the Japs will soon launch a counterattack.
You immediately continue to put pressure on the Japanese inside. If they don't surrender within ten minutes, don't waste time and serve them with grenades."
"yes!"
While Li Chenzhe was talking, Shota Ishida and the others were also arguing fiercely.
A first-class soldier shouted loudly: "I never agree. We are warriors of the Japanese Empire. We must not surrender to those despicable Chinese people. This will bring shame to our entire Ito family!"
Shota Ishida sneered and said: "It's easy for you to die gloriously. The Xiexia people are outside. You can rush out with your rifle. I think the Xiexia people will be happy to help you end your life."
"Baga, you despicable Braku, you are simply a disgrace to our Japanese Empire!"
The first-class soldier was angry. He roared and rushed towards Shota Ishida. But Shota Ishida just stepped aside slightly and quickly turned the Type 38 rifle in his hand, and the butt of the gun in his hand hit him hard.
on the face.
With a "pop" sound, the teak butt soaked in epoxy resin was extremely hard and hit the first-class soldier's chin with a crisp sound. It was obvious that the first-class soldier's chin must have been damaged.
Interrupted.
The pain of having his jaw broken is not something that ordinary people can bear. The first-class soldier let out a heart-rending howl and immediately lay down on the ground and rolled around.
Looking at the first-class soldier rolling on the ground, Shota Ishida had a sharp look in his eyes. He sneered and said to the soldiers around him: "I will never stop any of you who want to serve the emperor, but I have my own way. I have to leave, so please don’t stop me.”
Looking at Shota Ishida with a fierce look on his face, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but feel chilled in their hearts, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. They didn't expect that Ishida, who was usually honest and even a bit cowardly, could be so terrifying when he started to attack.
Seeing the fear in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers looking at him, Ishida felt a burst of sincere joy. Only then did he realize that being a villain can bring such great enjoyment to others.
Thinking of this, he said in a low voice: "Okay, the Xiexia people won't give us too much time. If you want to surrender with me, please come and stand by my side. If you want to be loyal to the emperor, please come and stand on my side." Then, I will never stop you!"
The soldiers looked at each other, with a look of struggle and hesitation on their faces. After a long time, the two soldiers looked at each other and slowly stood up. After hesitating for a moment, they walked behind Shota Ishida.
"Yoshi!"
A hint of joy appeared on Shota Ishida's face. It seemed that there were still some people who didn't want to die.
In the end, of the eighteen remaining people in the entire team, eight were willing to go with Shota Ishida, and the remaining nine, led by a first-class private, swarmed outside with bayonets in hand.
"Da da da……"
There was a burst of gunfire, and all these soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chenzhe and the soldiers gathered outside saw several Japanese soldiers walking towards them with their hands raised...
"What, nine Japanese soldiers surrendered to you?"
In the division command post, Su Rui looked at Bai Jingran in surprise, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He is very aware of the stubbornness of Japanese soldiers. After coming to this time and space, he has fought dozens of battles with the Japanese, large and small, but has never captured any Japanese soldiers, except for those who were stunned by bombs or unable to move due to injuries. Japanese soldiers, as long as they were still able to move, would end their lives as soon as possible, let alone anyone who would surrender voluntarily.
"Bring the leading Japanese over immediately." Suri ordered.
After more than ten minutes, Shota Ishida was brought to Suri. Looking at the young Japanese soldier in front of him who only reached his chin, with a hint of fear in his eyes, Suri asked curiously: "You Japanese are not Do you uphold the spirit of Bushido? Why do you want to surrender?"
Shota Ishida gritted his teeth and said, "Because I am from Braku!"
"The Buraku people?" Suri shook his head to express confusion, and then asked with great interest: "Can you tell me about this Braku people?"
A look of shame, anger and shame flashed in Shota Ishida's eyes, and he spoke slowly.
"Buraku" refers specifically to a poor village in Japanese. For a long time, the Braku people have been difficult to integrate into Japan's mainstream society. During Japan's Heian Period, the traditional occupations of the Braku people were to execute criminals and hunt animals. These jobs are regarded as "polluted jobs" by Japanese society, and the Braku people are also regarded as an untouchable race. They cannot receive fair treatment when they are alive, and they cannot be buried in peace when they die. Braku people Special signs must be placed on human graves to tell people that this is the burial place of the Buraku people and should not be approached. In modern times, the places where the Buraku people lived were marked on the map and were considered illegal. In a concentrated area, the Braku people generally cannot get normal jobs. When Japanese young men and women reach the age of marriage, they should also avoid having their lovers be from the Braku people.
And this private Ishida Shota is one of the Braku people. Ever since he joined the army, Ishida Shota has been discriminated against. Not only the squad leader, sergeant chief, and sergeant bullied him in the squad, but even the new recruits who had just joined the army were bullied.
Look down on him.
Ishida served in the army for four years and fought for one year. With such qualifications, someone else would have been promoted to a corps commander or even a sergeant, but Ishida was still a first-class soldier.
And what makes Ishida most angry is that other soldiers can retire after serving for only three years, but the discharge application submitted by Ishida, who has served for four years, has not been approved. In Ishida’s view, the military department clearly understands that
You can imagine the anguish in Ishida's heart if he was to die in China.
After hearing this, Su Rui clicked her lips and shook her head. Well...he is another child with a lot of bitterness and hatred. If it were him, he would have rebelled. I guess this guy has hated the Japanese government and the Japanese emperor for a long time, right?
No wonder they immediately raised their hands and surrendered as soon as they were surrounded. Alas... wherever there is oppression, there is resistance.
After thinking for a while, Su Rui said: "Ishida, let's do this. I will give you all the soldiers you brought. I ask you to train them into a soldier loyal to our China. Can you do it?
?”
Ishida asked in surprise: "Your Excellency, General, do you want us to fight for you?"
"Can't you?" Su Rui said with a half-smile: "You have to know that now that you have betrayed Japan, there is no way out. If you don't fight for us, who are you going to fight for?"
"But we only have one person in total, so we can't give you much help." Shota Ishida was a little embarrassed.
"You don't have to worry about this." Su Rui interrupted him, "As long as you can do it, I can give it to you whether you want money or power in the future. There are only nine people now. I will let you be a sergeant first.
From now on, when there are more people, I will promote you to an official position. If there are fifty people, I will make you the squad leader, if there are two hundred people, I will make you the center captain, and if there are a thousand people, I will make you the captain..."
"If there were four thousand people, would you let me be the captain?" Ishida's face suddenly glowed with desire.
Suri smiled, nodded and said, "Of course, but only if you can gather so many subordinates."
"Is it possible for me to become a captain?" At this time, Ishida felt a happy dizziness coming from his body.
He immediately assured loudly: "General, please rest assured, I will never live up to your expectations, and I will definitely gather more soldiers to serve you!"
"Very good, I'm optimistic about you, and I believe you will be able to do great things. I look forward to the day when you will become a general." Suri reached out and patted Ishida on the shoulder, just like stroking his adopted pet.
Like that big yellow dog.
"Your Excellency, General, you are so kind to me. I will swear to be loyal to you to the death to repay your great kindness!"
Ishida, who had always thought that he would become a general since he was a child, was so excited that he could not even stand still. At this moment, with tears in his eyes, he had only one thought, that is, he must serve the general well.
