Seeing the stunned Miyamoto Kazuo, Okamura Neji smiled coldly and said: "Miyamoto-kun, do you still think that I am about to be recalled to my hometown from the base camp?"
Kazuo Miyamoto quickly bowed and said: "Of course not. It is an honor for me to fight with Your Excellency, Commander. Although I was worried about You before, my admiration for You has never diminished by half."
Okamura Neji's eyes were so vicious that he could naturally see the authenticity of what the little fat man in front of him said. He nodded gently, with a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, "Miyamoto-kun, I know that you are very fond of Okamura."
The Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor are loyal to me and care for me, but don’t worry, I will not be defeated by Suri. In wars, there is always a win or lose for each other. We lost this time, but it doesn’t matter. Next time
We can just move back next time. You go immediately and inform the staff outside that Fujian cannot be saved, but Zhejiang cannot be lost. You ask those guys outside to predict how to maximize the number of troops under the current conditions.
Defend Zhejiang to a certain extent.”
"Hai!" Kazuo Miyamoto bowed and said solemnly: "Commander, please rest assured, I will go to convey your order immediately."
Okamura Neji nodded lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Miyamoto-kun, I'll leave everything to you!"
Miyamoto Kazuo looked at Okamura Neji, but he hesitated to speak. Okamura Neji looked up at him and asked: "Miyamoto-kun, is there anything else?"
Miyamoto Kazuo hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is one more thing... How should we reply to the telegram requesting help from the 2nd and 3rd Divisions in Fuzhou?"
Okamura Neiji thought for a while and said in a very cold tone: "Since the Second and Third Divisions have the courage to escape from the battlefield, they must use their courage to be prepared to endure pain. Besides, the base camp has already said this.
Already? Let’s not go to any lengths! Miyamoto-kun, what do you think?”
Hearing Okamura Neiji's indifferent tone, Okamoto Kazuo's body couldn't help but tremble. Then he remembered that Okamura Neiji was furious about the 2nd and 3rd Division's unauthorized withdrawal to Fuzhou some time ago, and sent a message
They were reprimanded. However, Yoshimoto Seiichi, the commander of the second division, relied on the support of others at the base camp. Even Okamura Neji, the former commander of the second division, did not look down on him. Instead, he repeatedly treated Okamura Neiji.
The order given seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Miyamoto clearly remembered the scene when Okamura Neji was so angry that he cursed when he received a telegram from Yoshimoto Teiichi justifying his escape to Fuzhou. It is estimated that from then on, Commander Okamura was completely dissatisfied with the Second
The Third Division has lost confidence.
Thinking of this, Miyamoto Kazuo wanted to give himself a slap in the face. Why is his mouth so mean? He doesn't pick up any pot. Isn't he making trouble for himself?
He quickly bowed slightly and said "Hai!" loudly, and then quickly walked out of the office...
Liu Tianhai, who was wearing a green raincoat and carrying a Thompson submachine gun, walked slowly on the road, cursing as he walked. Fuzhou is located on the coast, and typhoons often pass through. Therefore, the rainfall is quite abundant.
It rained heavily just a few days ago, and the result was that everything was wet. The roads also became muddy. Therefore, the soldiers who were used to riding in trucks had to march on their own two legs.
Dragging two legs as heavy as lead, Liu Tianhai stopped and rubbed his numb legs vigorously. He turned to look at the more than ten brothers behind him and found that the brothers behind him were also with him.
They were moving slowly and feebly on the road. Yes, they were moving. They were indeed exhausted after walking for five hours.
Seeing this situation, Liu Tianhai had no choice but to shout: "Brothers, rest where you are for half an hour!"
As soon as Liu Tianhai finished speaking, everyone behind him cheered.
"Fuck, Liu Tou is finally merciful."
"That's right, that's right, if I keep walking, my leg will be broken."
More than a dozen soldiers sat down on the side of the road, but their appearance was not very elegant. Some took out their water bottles to drink water, and some took off their combat boots that had become wet and heavy and began to carry them with bayonets.
Some people who have blisters on their feet simply find a slightly drier place to lie down.
Seeing everyone's confused looks, Liu Tianhai shook his head helplessly and cursed: "You bastards, you just walked for a few hours. Is this like this? And look at it, not even one person is responsible for guarding.
There are no people here. If we meet the Japs, we will probably be beaten up without even knowing what happened. It seems that the training for long-distance marches will be strengthened in the future."
"Liu Tou, you are too cruel. You are just not vigilant. What's the matter?"
As soon as Liu Tianhai's words came out, everyone complained, and the two soldiers who were on duty today lazily stood up and walked forward.
Listening to everyone's complaints, Liu Tianhai smiled slightly and stopped saying anything. He also found a slightly cleaner place to sit down, leaning against a pile of dirt on the roadside and closing his eyes to rest. Seeing that Liu Tianhai remained silent,
Everyone slowly became quiet, and after a while, bursts of snoring came from the surroundings.
Liu Tianhai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping soldiers with tired faces. A look of distress flashed in his eyes. From last month to now, his division has been fighting continuously for more than a month.
Yue. Originally thought that the troops could rest for a while after the defeat of the Minqing Dynasty, but before the troops could take a breath, they received an order to pursue the Japanese army. So Liu Tianhai's troops chased the 2nd and 3rd Divisions all the way.
Fuzhou arrived. As the sharp knife company of the entire division, Liu Haitian's company was more fatigued than ordinary troops.
Due to long-term continuous fighting, the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, both physically and mentally. Under such circumstances, even Liu Tianhai, who usually claimed to be physically strong, could not stand it anymore.
"Oh... I really hope I can sleep well for three days and three nights!"
Liu Tianhai sighed softly, closed his eyes and took a good rest. He still had a long way to go later.
"Bagou..."
Suddenly there was a gunshot from ahead, followed by another one.
Soldiers are the most sensitive to the sound of gunfire. Less than two seconds after the sound of gunfire, the soldiers who were lying on the ground motionless like dead fish all jumped up like fully inflated rubber balls.
The soldiers lying everywhere now all found hidden combat positions, and everyone's guns were pointed toward the southeast where the gunshots were heard.
After a while, the two soldiers who were originally on guard at the front hurried over and shouted: "Liu Tou, in the southeast direction, dozens of Japs are chasing more than ten people towards us."
"What, running towards us?" Liu Tianhai was stunned and immediately asked: "Did you see clearly who was being chased?"
The two soldiers shook their heads: "No, those people were wearing ordinary clothes, and their identities could not be identified at all."
"Forget it, leave them alone, everyone is ready to fight. Feng Xiaoying, add up the machine guns!"
"yes!"
As soon as Liu Tianhai's order was issued, the soldiers searched for shooting positions one after another. The machine gunner also quickly set up the tripod of the M4A4 machine gun and placed the machine gun. The ammunition hand also opened the ammunition box and supplied the ammunition belt to the machine gun.
In less than three minutes, everyone was ready.
Seven or eight minutes passed quickly. During this period, more than ten gunshots were heard in the southeast. This time, Liu Tianhai could hear clearly. In addition to the sound of the 38-type rifle, these gunshots
There was also the sound of Mauser rifles. Soon, many figures appeared one after another in front. Liu Tianhai counted. In addition to the more than ten people running in front, there were at least more than fifty Japanese chasing behind.
, those people were running and shooting at the back from time to time. However, it seemed to Liu Tianhai that these people were all in disarray, and the bullets were estimated to be thousands of miles away from the target.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Liu Tianhai couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself: "Is it the guerrillas who stayed in the area to resist? If that's the case, it's really hard not to help, but well..."
Thinking of this, Liu Tianhai looked back at the soldiers beside him and felt a little distressed. It is estimated that the lives of many brothers will be lost in this battle.
However, this idea was tossed out after a circle in Liu Tianhai's mind. Liu Tianhai skillfully raised his right hand, and soon the sound of pulling the safety of the gun was heard next to him.
After a while, the dozen or so people who were being chased ran up to Liu Tianhai and the others. When they were only forty or fifty meters away from Liu Tianhai, Liu Tianhai stuck out his head and waved his arms several times towards the people in front of him.
He shouted, "Hey... you guys get behind us right now, hurry up!"
Seeing a person suddenly sticking out in front of him, the group of people who were running desperately were startled. Several people pointed their guns at Liu Tianhai, and almost shot at Liu Tianhai. Seeing those people, they all shot at Liu Tianhai.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at himself. Liu Tianhai was startled and retracted his head behind the soil, and then cursed: "You bastards, if you don't want to die, move the muzzle away quickly, otherwise I won't mind sending you away."
You guys are on your way."
It was probably that Liu Tianhai's scolding had an effect. The man in front quickly stretched out his hand to stop them, and said a few words loudly, causing everyone to put down their guns, and then ran towards Liu Tianhai.
Seeing these people running towards him, Liu Tianhai frowned and asked the soldiers behind him: "Can you hear what they said?"
"I don't know!" The soldiers nearby shook their heads.
