≈ Takeo Yamayama is a sergeant commander of the 2nd Squadron of the 101st Cavalry Regiment.
As a cavalry sergeant, Takeo Yamayama is proud from the bottom of his heart, because cavalry is the most noble branch of the Japanese army and navy. Other branches, whether they are infantry, artillery, aviation, or even the navy, have no status restrictions.
A farmer's son can do the job, but a cavalryman cannot.
Cavalry soldiers must be selected from among warriors!
And samurai have been the backbone of Japanese society since the Warring States Period!
Since the Taika Reform, every evolution and turning point in Japanese society has been accomplished by the samurai class. Especially during the Meiji Restoration, Japan's samurai class played a decisive role. Without Satsuma, the two feudal lords of Changsu would not have existed.
If the samurai launched an armed rebellion, how could Japan be in the situation it is today?
Takeo Yamayama happened to be a samurai from Satsuma.
The infantry of the Japanese army was organized in places. For example, the 1st Division was organized in Tokyo and the 2nd Division was organized in Sendai. However, the Japanese cavalry and officers were not organized in places. They were all made from
Cadets, land students and samurai from all over the country are in charge of this role. The reason for doing this is to avoid the situation of warlord separatism.
Yamatakeo is a samurai from Satsuma, and he has some connection with Saigo Takamori, one of the three heroes of the Meiji period, so his identity as a samurai has been integrated into his bones. Because in the last 10 and two Olympic Games, Japan sent
The contestants continued to achieve impressive results, which led to Yama Takeo's almost pathological pride in samurai and cavalry.
Yamatakeo led a group of more than ten cavalrymen and acted as the vanguard of the entire rescue team.
A bright moon has risen from behind the mountains in the east. The cold moonlight is falling down. You can barely see within thirty meters. The winding road is fairly flat. At least horse racing is absolutely no problem. After leaving the camp, the mountain
The warrior and the dozen or so riders behind him let go of their horses' reins and galloped forward.
Since coming to the Chinese battlefield, there have been few opportunities like this.
Therefore, Takeo Yamama definitely does not want to miss this precious opportunity.
After galloping for more than ten kilometers, the horse started to sweat slightly.
Takeo Yamayama is undoubtedly extremely satisfied with the Japanese-made Oriental horses. In his eyes, the Oriental horses formed by crossing the introduced Arabian horses with Japan’s native Mongolian horses can be said to combine the advantages of Mongolian horses and Arabian horses.
It not only has the endurance and tolerance of rough feeding of the Mongolian horse, but also has the explosive power of the Arabian horse.
Therefore, a march of more than ten kilometers is nothing to a Japanese horse.
Takeo was about to run up the mountain, but suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from behind the mountain in front of him.
"If necessary, prepare to fight!" Hearing the sound of gunshots, Yamatakeo drew his saber with his backhand.
More than a dozen cavalrymen behind Takeo on the mountain also drew their sabers. The sabers of the Japanese cavalry were all made of cold steel. Under the moonlight, their entire bodies emitted a pale light, making people shudder.
The war horse continued to gallop forward at a constant speed. After turning the corner of the mountain, the vision suddenly opened up.
What came into the eyes of Takeo on the mountain was a tragic battlefield. On the road and the wilderness on both sides of the road, corpses of Japanese soldiers were lying everywhere. Some of the corpses of Japanese soldiers had even been stripped of their uniforms. Takeo on the mountain
and the cavalry behind him were indifferent to this, because this was not the first time they had encountered it.
The Communist troops were all beggars. They wore single clothes in the winter, and it was common for them to strip off Japanese military uniforms.
The scattered corpses did not attract the attention of Takeo on the mountain. What caught the attention of Takeo on the mountain and others was an infantryman who was shooting with a gun!
He was probably the only Japanese soldier alive on the entire battlefield.
Even though his body was covered in blood, the infantryman continued to fire while shouting meaninglessly.
About a hundred meters away from the infantryman, a dozen Chinese soldiers were fleeing into the forest with the frightened rats. Apparently, the Chinese army had been launching a fierce attack here before, but due to their arrival, they realized that there was no hope of victory.
The Chinese army immediately gave up the attack and fled into the dense forest.
Although Takeo on the mountain wanted to pursue him very much and wanted to chase into the woods and kill all the Chinese soldiers who were escaping, but in the end he still did not dare to act rashly. Firstly, because the commander of the regiment issued a strict order, and he was absolutely not allowed to act without permission, and secondly, because
Because cavalry is not suitable for jungle combat, because dense woods will affect the mobility of cavalry.
Losing their speed advantage, cavalry would easily become prey for infantry.
Yama Takeo ordered his dozen cavalrymen to spread out, paying attention to the vigilance while searching the battlefield to see if there were any surviving soldiers. Yama Takeo himself quickly walked towards the infantry. In less than a moment, the Yama Samurai had already started to attack the infantry.
The horse came to the infantryman, but the infantryman raised his gun directly and aimed at him.
"Baga." Takeo on the mountain quickly opened the muzzle of his gun with his saber and cursed, "You're crazy!"
But the infantryman seemed to be really crazy. His eyes were staring at the night sky in front of him without focus, and he kept repeating the same sentence: Xina, Chinese.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the infantryman finally recognized the military uniform on Yamatakeo and knew that he was one of his own kind, so he no longer aimed his gun at him. However, the infantryman ignored Yamatakeo's questions.
The shooting was in the direction where the Chinese soldiers disappeared just now.
During this time, the infantry kept repeating: Xina, Chinese.
"Poor guy." A cavalryman rode over and said to Takeo on the mountain, "He seems to have gone crazy."
Takeo on the mountain shook his head and ordered the cavalryman: "Go and call Iwata over. Let Iwata take a look at him. It is best to restore his consciousness. He is the only survivor here."
The cavalryman shouted, turned around and left, and soon led another cavalryman over.
But the cavalryman was carrying a medicine box and was a military doctor. Yamatakeo called two more cavalrymen to force the infantryman to sit down, and then asked Iwata to bandage him. Iwata briefly treated the infantryman and said: "Sir, he has suffered a wound on the head."
After a violent impact, it may be difficult to regain consciousness in a short period of time, but..."
Takeo on the mountain frowned and said, "But what?"
Iwata said: "However, the images of the previous fierce battle should still remain in his mind. If the commander wants to ask him any questions, he must do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the images remaining in his mind disappear, then he will ask anything.
He won’t come out, and I doubt it will be very difficult for this guy to recover.”
Takeo's expression on the mountain changed immediately and he asked the infantryman: "Hey, what happened here just now?"
The infantryman didn't react at all, but kept struggling, while continuing to chant: Xina, Chinese.
Takeo Yamayama was immediately at a loss for what to do, but Iwata was still smart and reached out to open the small pocket of the infantryman's coat, took out a soldier's ID card from it, and then shouted: "Takahashi-san!"
The infantryman finally turned his dull eyes and said, "Hai."
Takeo on the mountain breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Takahashi-san, what happened here just now?"
The infantryman immediately replied: "Chinese soldiers, so many Chinese soldiers, countless Chinese soldiers, Chinese soldiers are everywhere, they are like cockroaches, coming out of every dark corner, so many, so many, so many...
"
Yamatakeo frowned again and asked: "Where did the main force of the 1st Infantry Battalion go? Where did they go?"
However, the infantryman did not respond. He just kept saying: so many, so many, so many.
Takeo Yamayama and Iwata tried their best, but in the end they were able to get almost no useful information. About ten minutes later, the main force of the cavalry regiment arrived, followed closely by the cavalry regiment, as well as the tank detachment and motorized infantry.
In the brigade, Takeo Yamayama asked Iwata and another cavalryman to keep an eye on Takahashi, and then hurriedly came to the cavalry regiment captain Suzuki Juzo.
After receiving the report from the mountain, Suzuki Juzo did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led Takeo Yamagami to Hamura's chariot.
"Please take me to meet this warrior." After listening to the report, Shuichi Hamura immediately asked Yamatakeo to take him to see Takahashi. Shuichi Hamura did this firstly to encourage Takahashi and to commend him for his heroic performance, and secondly.
Even Shuichi Hamura wanted to personally ask what happened to Takahashi Infantry Battalion 1?
Hamura Shuichi had no idea that this was actually a trap.
Hamura Shuichi never expected that the Takahashi he was about to see would actually be Chinese!
In less than a moment, Shuichi Hamura came to Takahashi under the guidance of Yamatakeo. Also following Shuichi Hamura were the captain of the cavalry regiment, Suzuki Juzo, and the captain of the motorized infantry brigade, Naoto Fujiki.
, in addition to more than a dozen guards and combat staff.
In front of Hamura Shuichi, Takahashi's eyes were still dull, and he kept repeating: "People from Sina China, people from Sina China."
This so-called Gao Qiao was of course impersonated by Xu Rui.
Seeing an old Japanese man with a collar badge and a general star on his epaulettes walking toward him, Xu Rui's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. According to the Japanese military system, the commander of an independent mixed detachment is usually a major general.
This means that the Japanese major general walking towards him is most likely Hamura Shuichi!
"Xina, China people, Xina, China people..." Xu Rui's heart was already beating wildly, but on the surface he still looked dull. Although he was surrounded by thousands of Japanese troops, Xu Rui
But he didn't panic at all, and he wasn't worried at all that anyone would recognize him. In fact, except for the baggage squadron where all the members had died in the battle, it was impossible for anyone to know Takahashi, an insignificant private.
Because the Japanese army implements a military system in which generals and soldiers are separated, not to mention that the 101st Infantry Division is still a special division. Except for the small team, there is no familiarity between the officers and soldiers of each unit. There is no familiarity between senior generals and grassroots officers and soldiers.
It's even stranger, so if someone can recognize Takahashi, it's really a ghost.
