Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 693 Shame

Captain Uehara walked wearily into a large wooden house near the Yokosuka Naval Port with his suitcase.The home of Lieutenant Shirakawa of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department is here.

The roster given to him by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army contains the home addresses of most of the soldiers of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.It was a top secret before, but not anymore.

Captain Uehara stopped in front of a wooden house, and looked at the house number next to the door to make sure it was correct.

He raised his hand and pushed the door lightly, and the door opened.

Captain Uehara walked into the yard, and a five or six-year-old girl was holding a two-year-old child obediently sitting on a small bench without moving.

"Is this the Baichuan family? Is your mother Ms. Keiko?" Captain Uehara asked.

"Do you have anything to do with my mother? She has gone out to do business, and it will be a while before she comes back." The girl replied.She smiled innocently as she spoke.

"So when will your mother come back?" Captain Uehara asked again.

"I don't know, but the later she comes back, the more delicious food she brings back!" The girl replied.

Captain Uehara squatted down and asked with a smile on his face, "What delicious food does your mother bring you?"

These days, he went to hundreds of family members of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army according to their addresses. What he saw made him depressed and even sad.And all he could take out was the pitiful few dozen yen.

Now that prices are soaring in Japan, this amount of money does not solve the problem at all.

"There is bread, milk and chocolate!" The girl replied crisply.

Hearing these words, Captain Uehara couldn't help swallowing.

"Are you hungry? I still have rice balls here." Captain Uehara opened the suitcase and took out a rice ball from inside and handed it to the girl.

The girl nodded slightly to say thank you, then took the rice ball and stuffed it into the mouth of her two-year-old brother.

Seeing the innocent and sensible girl, Captain Uehara felt that he was in a much better mood.But he waited here for over an hour and Shirakawa Keiko still hasn't come back.

"Where does your mother go to do business?" Captain Uehara asked.

"That's right there!" The girl raised her finger in the direction of Agatsuma Island.

Captain Uehara walked out of the yard towards Agatsuma Island.

Yokosuka used to be one of the most important base ports of the Japanese Navy, but now the port is anchored by the hill-like aircraft carriers and battleships of the US Navy.

It is surrounded by iron fences across the water from Agatsuma Island.This is an important place leading to the oil storage of Agatsuma Island.

A few U.S. soldiers were playing basketball topless.

Outside the iron fence, dozens of Japanese women with heavy makeup looked at the American soldiers playing basketball and cheered.

Compared with the burly and strong American soldiers, the wretched Japanese men are not men at all.

Of course, the more important thing is that if the American soldiers inside the iron fence look at them and take them to the bar to drink and eat before doing other things, the whole family will not have to be hungry for a few days.

Captain Uehara had been staying in Northeast China until he came back to Japan this year and only saw Americans after Japan surrendered.

He first looked at the American soldiers and then focused on the dozens of women.

The youngest of these women are only fourteen or fifteen years old, while the older ones are in their 40s or 50s.Without exception, they all smeared their bright red lips and posed in front of the American soldiers through the iron fence, as if they were waiting to be blessed by these American soldiers.

And just two or three months ago, due to the lack of weapons, these women were training with bamboo guns and preparing to fight desperately with the Americans who were about to land.

The women winked at the American soldiers and shouted the Darling they had just learned, and even blew kisses.

A policeman passed by, and he turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him.If Japan hadn't surrendered a few months ago, he would have arrested these women.

Captain Uehara couldn't stand it anymore.He said loudly: "How can you women do this! You have lost the face of the Great Japanese Empire!"

All the women turned their heads and looked at Captain Uehara coldly, and no one showed any shame.

A man in his fifties who looked like his mother pointed to Captain Uehara and said, "You still have the face to criticize us. The newspaper broadcast said that Japan became what it is today because of you incompetent and cowardly soldiers! You just came back from the battlefield. Right? Why don't you die there? How do you still have the face to live? Hit him!"

Mama-sang's order was as effective as the order of the Kwantung Army's intelligence chief. Dozens of women rushed to Captain Uehara like wolves, punching, kicking, scratching and pulling. After a while, Captain Uehara changed beyond recognition.

He clutched his torn clothes and ran away quickly with a suitcase in his hand. Behind him came the laughter of American soldiers!
When Captain Uehara returned to Lieutenant Shirakawa's house, the girl was still sitting on a small stool holding her younger brother and waiting for her mother to bring back delicious food.

Captain Uehara waited for more than two hours, and a woman came in with bread in one hand and a bottle of Coke in the other.

The woman stared at Captain Uehara whose clothes were torn, but she immediately regained her composure.There was nothing for her now that she was afraid of, and nothing that she would be ashamed of.

"What are you doing here?" the woman asked.

Captain Uehara vaguely remembered that this woman was among the women who beat him!

It was Captain Uehara who felt ashamed now, and he remembered the purpose of coming here.

He hastily opened the suitcase, took out an envelope and handed it to the woman, saying, "This is from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army."

The woman took the envelope and took out [-] yen from it and said coldly, "Do you know that the food on the black market has increased more than ten times now, what can you buy with this little money?"

Captain Uehara wanted to say that other soldiers didn't even have this money, but he couldn't say it.The husband of the woman in front of him is now working as a coolie in Siberia, and the Great Japanese Empire doesn't care about the common people who have dedicated themselves to it.

Captain Uehara rushed to Yokohama overnight to find Second Lieutenant Abe.He accidentally discovered that Second Lieutenant Abe and others had returned when he visited the family members of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department.

Second Lieutenant Abe, who was protecting Liushikov, and six others followed Qian Xiaobao's advice across the peninsula to Busan, and then returned to Japan by boat.

After finding Second Lieutenant Abe, Captain Uehara said: "I have already executed the order of Chief Toshi Akikusa, and I have sent all the money, but it is still far from enough! You take this suitcase with the roster and the letter I wrote to him. Give the letter to Qian Xiaobao, Lieutenant Takashima Ken, he is more capable than me, and we can only rely on him for the future."

In the middle of the night, Captain Uehara sat on a high place and watched the ships moving on the sea surface of Yokohama Port.After two or three hours he slowly turned around and faced north.

He was one of the few who died without facing the direction of the Emperor.

Captain Uehara drew out his pistol and pressed it to his chest.

"Bastard!" Captain Uehara scolded.

However, he felt that it was not strong enough, so he cursed again in Chinese: "Damn your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

Captain Uehara pulled the trigger.
