Chapter 87: Out of the Wolf's Den and into the Tiger
mouth
"Damn Japanese."
"Damn British."
Lu Feizhang and Cao Zijin, who had their eyes blue, looked at each other, feeling as if they had caused something terrible.
However, no one told them that all they received was the scolding of the soldiers who were full of anger after the Eighty-Eighth Division was called up for duty.
"I thought Lao Ba and the military police were so fierce, but in the end they couldn't even take a prisoner seriously."
Looking at each other again, neither Cao Zijin nor Lu Feizhang had anything to say.
When You Qi was called out, He Shijie was carrying a box of cannons with one arm and scolded him even more unpleasantly.
"Lu, how can you be so promising? How can you treat prisoners so favorably? The way your elbows are turned outward, I want to cut you."
Moving his lips, Lu Feizhang wanted to say something to this guy.
But when he moved his lips, he just gritted his teeth and swallowed a breath of dark air.
Although Cao Zijin had nothing to do with this matter, he knew that because of his preferential treatment of prisoners, most of this matter would be recorded on him and the "old eight".
Only then did he think about what Zhang Sixing said: preferential treatment of prisoners is a means to disintegrate the enemy's army, but it is not a rule on the battlefield. Especially before the opponent truly surrenders, any preferential treatment will be empty.
Look at the Japanese officer Tetsujiro Yamaoka. He was beaten by Zhang Sixing and even cut off his companion's head just for his promise.
It seems like what he said, we still have to learn how to fight.
Looking at the dark Sihang Warehouse, Lu Feizhang deeply understood Guo Liangjun's painstaking efforts.
That is formalization. You must know that most of the training of the old people at this time came from Japan. After all, the officers who came out of the Northern Expedition learned the combat techniques of the Japanese army.
Anyone who has really looked at the world will know that the training of both Japan and the United States was deeply influenced by the German army during World War I. After World War I and after, compared with the army, no country's army was as good as the German army in equal numbers.
opponent.
While he was thinking, two Japanese officers appeared from the warehouse.
From their physical appearance, Lu Feizhang could recognize one as Zhang Sixing and the other as Tetsujiro Yamaoka.
As the "oldest man" who has always been accustomed to working proactively, Lu Feizhang came to Zhang Sixing and stood at attention and saluted.
"Sir, it's... it's my fault. I request someone to bring back three prisoners of war."
What he never expected was that Cao Zijin also came to grab the task. He clicked his heels,
"Sir, I understand English and I will go with you."
Well, Lu Feizhang originally wanted to attack this guy. As a military policeman with little combat experience, he neither knew how to track nor what to fight.
"No need, just me and Shan Gang will go. You...if I don't come back at dawn, the warehouse will depend on you."
After saying that, Zhang Sixing just nodded and led Kojiro Yamaoka into the darkness.
The three prisoners must not be allowed to escape under any circumstances.
Currently, there are enough helmets in the Sihang Warehouse, so a large number of helmet mines are placed on the east and west sides of the warehouse.
At the same time, the artillery fire and machine guns on the two tanks at the corners of the two buildings can also block the two sides.
As for the bottom, there are more mines and more ways to lay them.
After all, there are still a large number of corpses of Japanese Marines on the ground. Although many of them were stripped naked by the people in the military camp. But many of the corpses were aimed at booby traps. If the Japanese wanted to collect the corpses, they would definitely pay a lot of casualties.
Probably it was because the defense was too tight that Cao Zijin and Lu Feizhang took it lightly.
Easily bypassing the minefield, Tetsujiro Yamaoka expressed his concern to Zhang Sixing in military sign language.
Sir, over there...
It must be said that Tetsujiro Yamaoka was good at swordsmanship and received equally excellent military training. Before the two left the Sihang Warehouse, he had already told him the direction in which the three prisoners might escape.
After all, as a Japanese soldier, I am quite familiar with the layout of Japan's front lines.
He believed that the escape direction of the three prisoners should be the frontline prisoner of war camp not far from the battle line. It was the logistics base leading to the front line and the camp where the captured soldiers were detained.
Therefore, relatively speaking, Lina's defensive force is stronger, at least compared to the three infantry brigades participating in the battle, it has not been beaten to a fright.
At the same time, a group of British soldiers came to the south bank of the Suzhou River with a large amount of arms.
Of course, they didn't cross the river, they just threw a rope and tied it into a rope loop. In this way, they could easily send the ammunition on the cart across the river just by relying on the rope.
The British may not be good at fighting, but they are very talented at this kind of thing.
For example, on the eve of the Normandy landings, they used fancy camouflage on the ground, which was a masterpiece of the British.
Not only were weapons and ammunition sent as requested by Zhang Sixing, but also British military first aid kits, dozens of cartons of cigarettes and ten kilograms of opium, which Zhang Sixing later added through Lieutenant Morrison.
Just when the British were sending the resources that Zhang Sixing had blackmailed, Will and Robin, led by Taro Hashimoto, approached the Japanese military camp.
As Tetsujiro Yamaoka said, the place was heavily guarded. Strings of prisoners of war, under the supervision of Japanese soldiers, were lining up to unload ammunition from cars and stack them together.
In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, searchlights were installed on the sentry posts on the tall buildings, illuminating the area brightly.
"Ha, did you see it, Will? That's the Japanese camp. We will be free soon."
The yellow-haired Robin looked happy and took out cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Will and Hashimoto Taro.
"Don't worry, don't light up your cigarette in a hurry. The sentry sees it and doesn't know it's us, so he might shoot."
Just at this moment, there was a sound of leather shoes deliberately hitting the ground. Along with these footsteps, the Japanese officer's command was also heard.
"You two wait here, I'll go out and report right away."
Then Taro Hashimoto ran out with his hands raised, shouting in Japanese,
"Don't shoot. I'm a Japanese soldier. I just escaped from Sihang Warehouse. I bring important information."
A small group of Japanese soldiers who were driving over were startled by Taro Hashimoto who had just rushed out. They dispersed subconsciously, pointing their weapons at Taro Hashimoto.
"who are you."
The officer who spoke used his flashlight to shine on Taro Hashimoto, who was wearing the uniform of a Japanese Marine Corps soldier.
Hashimoto Taro, who was so blinded by the flashlight that he couldn't open his eyes, had no choice but to report his unit and rank, and then reported another important news.
"I escaped from the Sihang Warehouse. Not only did I bring important information, I also brought two British people. I personally saw that the British escorted a Chinese army into the Sihang Warehouse."
After speaking, Taro Hashimoto waved to Robin and Will.
"Come, come here, you are safe."
But as soon as Will and Robin appeared in the flashlight, they were immediately surrounded by Japanese soldiers with bayonets drawn.
Robin, who felt a little bad, looked around and whispered to Will,
"Fake, why do I feel like these Japanese people have bad intentions?"
