The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 225 Killing the Bandits 1

"He Sang, there, there is the brigade headquarters and the camping ground under Ah Gong."

On the road, after ordering the team to stop advancing, Nishi Kanjiro, who was leading the team, pointed to the densely packed tents in the distance and said tremblingly. His legs were shaking uncontrollably, and his breathing became heavier while speaking.

He Wei glanced at Kanjiro Nishi. This guy was obviously in a panic again, swaying from side to side as if he was swinging.

To be fair, he was very honest along the way, and was watched by Staff Officer Huang who knew Japanese, but he didn't have any evil intentions. However, this guy was really too timid. When he passed through the first few blockades, he basically pretended to be Calmness uses rage and beating to cover up his guilty conscience.

After gradually getting deep into the rear of the Japanese army and discovering that the Japanese army's security force was insufficient, Kanjiro Nishi finally calmed down and even used dialects and jokes to lower the vigilance of the Japanese sentries. But now that he saw the target, Kanjiro Nishi again Started to feel anxious and scared.

He Wei was suddenly a little worried again. It was not that he was worried that this guy would defect and rebel at this critical moment, but he was worried that Kanjiro Nishi would expose his flaws and be noticed by the Japanese.

"You fucking calm down, don't pretend to be crazy like me."

The spy platoon leader Yang Biao pushed Kanjiro Nishi, then grabbed Kanjiro Nishi's collar and pulled it hard, scolding him in a low voice.

This set of tricks obviously did not eliminate Kanjiro Nishi's inner fear. He Wei could understand it. After all, what Kanjiro Nishi is doing now is to lead the enemy's army to assassinate his own senior officials as a rebel leader. In addition, Japan People's worship of the royal family and the emperor, scolding and scolding cannot make him stabilize his mind.

However, if Kanjiro Nishi was really courageous and courageous, I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to betray the Japanese army in less than one night and honestly loyal to He Wei and cooperate with He Wei. He committed seppuku as an apology to the emperor.

"Battle Commander He, I'll keep an eye on him. I can speak Japanese and follow him. If anything goes wrong, I can deal with it in time."

At this time, Staff Officer Huang walked to He Wei and said to He Wei.

He Wei nodded and patted Nishi Kanjiro's shoulder again. Unexpectedly, as soon as He Wei's hand was placed on Nishi Kanjiro's shoulder, the guy twitched for a moment as if he was electrocuted, and then began to tremble again.

He Wei had no choice but to say to him: "You just performed well. There is a Chinese saying that weaving baskets is all about closing the mouth. I was able to hold on at the last moment."

Immediately, Staff Officer Huang spoke a few words to Kanjiro Nishi in Japanese, and he didn't know what he said. He Wei saw that Kanjiro Nishi finally calmed down and calmed down after his expression changed drastically.

He Wei issued a battle order to the entire beheading team to prepare for the attack.

"Everyone is ready to fight. The machine guns and speed machines are all loaded and fired. Once they start firing, throw away all the 38 covers. Use the machine guns and speed machines in the backpack to hit me. Use melee fire to kill the Japanese. people!"

The officers and soldiers of the beheading team immediately loaded the machine guns and speed machines in the backpacks behind them. Some brothers also unplugged the fuses of Japanese-made grenades or Gong-made grenades, opened the grenade covers, and hid them in their sleeves, waiting for a moment. Just fire and throw it out to give the Japanese a good start.

When all preparations were completed, He Wei decisively ordered to continue moving forward. As a result, the beheading team marched swaggeringly on the road, heading towards the headquarters of the 18th Brigade and the camp of King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace. .

Amidst the rumbling of artillery and the ringing of phones in the tent, the officers in the 18th Brigade Headquarters did not notice the beheading team coming on the road at all. The Brigade Headquarters did not even have a few guards. This was also Determined by the characteristics of the Japanese army's infantry brigade, neither the Japanese army's brigade nor the Chinese army's infantry brigade have any directly subordinate units.

The main personnel are officers and orderly soldiers. Now the front line is tight. The commander of the 18th Brigade, Jing Shuxuan, drove up to the front line and took away a group of soldiers and staff officers. The already small manpower was even tighter. The headquarters of the 18th Brigade was naturally as busy as a boiling pot. The lights in the tent were brightly lit, and they couldn't care less about the security work outside the tent.

What's more, the officers of the 18th Brigade Headquarters would not think that the brigade headquarters located in the hinterland of the rear would be attacked by the Chinese army. Like the officers of the special agent battalion under He Wei, the Japanese officers were also worried about beheading raids. No clue about tactics.

The campsite where King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace stayed was quite different, and soon someone noticed the beheading team.

In front of King Kohihiko's camp at Asaka Palace, Lieutenant Kozo Amano, captain of the 8th Squadron of the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the 16th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, burped with satisfaction in the biting cold wind and clapped his hands. Patting his belly filled with chicken, duck and fish meat looted from the Chinese village, he waved his saber proudly and practiced his sword skills in front of the camp.

Half a month ago, Amano Kozo had just replaced the previous squadron leader who was killed in action and became the leader of the 8th Squadron of the 33rd Regiment. He was already ready to fight the Chinese army to the end, but a few days ago, he Tianqian was spotted by King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace who came to Jurong and Tangshan, and the entire eighth squadron was selected as the escort squadron of King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace.

As a result, Amano Kozo took his squadron away from the frontline battlefield and escorted King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace.

Compared with King Asaka Palace Jiuyan, this mere lieutenant was obviously just an insignificant person. However, this little person also left a notorious mark in the Jinling Massacre that shocked the world.

To a certain extent, this Amano Kozo can be said to be a smaller version of King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, and he is also an extremely cruel person. In the original history, although this person was the guard of King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, But the guards around King Kohihiko of the Asaka Palace were definitely not competent. Instead of performing guard duties, Amano Kozo actually spent more energy on burning, killing and looting.

Along the way, they committed rape, robbery, and robbery. After entering Nanjing City, they publicly announced to their subordinates that they would lift military discipline and rape, kill, set fire to, and rob. They could do anything in the city.

As a result, this Amano Kozo once again persecuted the unarmed Chinese people in Nanjing City. In addition to the usual rape and robbery of Chinese people, he also repeatedly blasted and robbed bank vaults in Nanjing City. It can be said that It's a heinous crime.

From this point of view, this person can be said to be the epitome of most of the grassroots officers of the Japanese army, and even more so the epitome of King Asaka Palace Hatohiko. The reason why he is famous is because he completely unleashed his lawlessness in the city and opened an American restaurant. Several Chinese women working in the store were raped. After the incident, the matter was reported to the U.S. Ambassador to Jinling.

The angry U.S. ambassador went to see Amano Kozo in person to argue the case. As a result, the mad dog actually beat up the U.S. ambassador to Jinling. After that, the matter continued to escalate, causing serious international impact. Not only did the United States file a complaint with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Protests, even newspapers and media in Europe and the United States have reported on this person and the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.

In the end, the Japanese Central China Front Army also had to deal with this man, removed him from his post, imprisoned him, and extradited him back to Japan. The final verdict was also very ridiculous. It was because Amano Kozo could not find a victim to testify for his various atrocities that he was declared guilty. He was not found guilty, and was finally charged with obstructing the execution of official duties. He was imprisoned for a few days and then settled.

A Japanese military officer who violated a large number of Chinese people and committed crimes including burning, killing, looting, and other crimes was casually freed from his crimes and survived peacefully. His final outcome was also the same as that of King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace whom he was guarding. Quite similar, they all escaped trial and guilt and survived peacefully.

If King Asaka Palace Kohiko is the representative of senior Japanese military officers who indulged his subordinates in committing collective large-scale war crimes against Chinese military and civilians, then Amano Kozo is the epitome of the actual executioners of lower-level Japanese military officers and soldiers.

"Hi, hi"

Just as Tenno Kozo was waving the saber in his hand, a sergeant behind him suddenly said: "Squadron leader, look, there are troops coming this way on the highway."

"who?"

Amano Kozo put down his saber and looked into the distance. He saw about an infantry squad driving down the road in neat steps.

"Is the third team back?"

the sergeant asked.

Amano Kozo's squadron has three infantry squads under his command. The third squad he just belonged to was dispatched by King Asaka Palace Hatohiko to follow the 18th Brigade Commander Isho Nobuhiro and went to the front line. Therefore, the sergeant will behead the squad. It is also reasonable to misidentify the squadron to which the current squadron belongs.

"Come back so soon? Could it be that Captain Jingshu Brigade has already repelled the damn Chinese army?"

Amano Kozo said suspiciously, but after listening to the rumbling sound of cannons and the unabated gunshots, he carefully looked at the marching formation and number of people of this infantry team, and shook his head.

"Let's go over and have a look. It's unlikely to be the third team. The battle ahead is so fierce and there's no truck coming back. It's definitely not it. The number of people doesn't match up."

Amano Kozo then put away his saber and headed towards the direction of the beheading team. Just a few steps away, another major officer walked out of the camp behind him. This major officer also saw the dozens of people not far away. The soldier immediately stopped Amano Kozo.

"Amano-kun, what's going on ahead?"

Amano Kozo immediately ran over to salute, and said: "Report to Major Morita, I don't know. I was about to go over and have a look. It seems that they are not my soldiers, but rather people from the 36th Regiment."

"How did you find out?"

Major Morita asked.

"Reporting to the commander, the infantry squad of the 36th Regiment is organized differently from that of my squadron. The infantry squad of my squadron is organized into five squadrons, while the infantry squadron of the 36th Regiment is organized into six squadrons. Look at their marching forces. You can see it in the column.”

Amano Kozo respectfully showed his ability and professionalism to Major Morita as much as possible, and his words were also flattering. After all, this Major Morita was not an ordinary infantry major. He was originally a tactical captain of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. instructor.

However, he got the favor of King Asaka Palace Kituhiko. After he was promoted to the rank of major, he was transferred to his side as an aide. He can be called the popular person next to King Asaka Palace Hatuhiko. For such a person, Amano Gosan Naturally, you have to do your best to please.

"Well, let's go take a look and bring some people over. Your Excellency, the Commander, has just fallen asleep. Don't make too much noise. You must pay attention to the security work."

Major Morita looked at the infantry squad that was getting closer and closer and said, although he couldn't see anything on the surface, he always felt a little strange and strange. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really a soldier of the 36th Regiment. , then why was an infantry squad sent inexplicably, and the behavior of this sudden squad was also very strange.

The marching direction of this team is towards the camp of King Asaka Palace and his guards, and the 36th Infantry Regiment is a unit of the 18th Brigade. If the 36th Regiment really If there is any situation where troops are sent back to deal with it, the first place they should look for should be the headquarters of the 18th Brigade.

Feeling something was wrong, Major Morita immediately became suspicious.

Knowing that King Asaka Palace Hatohiko had fallen asleep, Amano Kozo did not dare to neglect, and immediately led an infantry squad, together with Major Morita, and a group of people also went in the direction of the beheading squad.

At the same time, the beheading squad also noticed dozens of Japanese soldiers walking towards them. Seeing someone approaching, Nishi Kanjiro, who pretended to be the squad leader, fell ill again and staggered. He Wei and Staff Huang were on the left and one on the left. You quickly went up to support Kanjiro Nishi, while Yang Biao used a bayonet to press Kanjiro Nishi's waist from behind. The three of them forced Kanjiro Nishi forward, who was in extreme fear.

"Hey, which section are you in?"

Soon, the oncoming team stopped fifty meters away from the beheading team and called here again.

"Speak quickly."

He Wei whispered to Kanjiro Nishi beside him.

Kanjiro Nishi pretended to be calm, cleared his throat, and said: "We are from the 36th Infantry Regiment. We captured important documents while fighting at the front. Captain Kyosaka Regiment ordered us to send these documents to the rear. ."

Major Morita, who was on the opposite side, heard that the person opposite was here to deliver the seized items, and also reported the name of the captain of the 36th Infantry Regiment. His vigilance was reduced a lot, but he soon realized something was wrong.

Obviously the commander of the 18th Brigade, Jing Shuxuanshi, has already gone to the front line. He is the superior commander of the 36th Infantry Regiment. Important documents that have been seized should be shown to him first. Why did he just run away? When they arrived at the rear, they headed towards the campsite of King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace.

Suddenly, Major Morita felt something was wrong again, so he planned to test the opposing force, and said again

"Are you going to send the documents to the commander of the Jingshu Brigade? Do you need me to send someone to the brigade headquarters to inform him?"

At the same time, Major Morita quietly asked Amano Kozo and his men to be on alert and form a battle formation.

The commander of the 18th Brigade, Jing Shuxuanshi, has already gone to the front line. If the inexplicable team on the opposite side agrees, it means that this inexplicable team does not know about the 18th Brigade at all. Brigade commander Jing Shuxuan was already on the front line.

If this is the case, then there must be something wrong with this strange team.

Kanjiro Nishi heard the question from the other side and immediately said to He Wei: "He Sang, he, he asked me if I wanted to give the document to the brigade commander."

"Just ask King Chaoxiang Gongjiuyan. Don't mention the brigade commander. Yang Biao, the situation is not right. Let the brothers be prepared." He Weiyan could not see the Japanese army's alert actions, and it was really Chaoxiang Gongjiu. Prince Hiko's escort team had its upper beams crooked and its lower beams crooked. With the acquiescence of the squadron leader Amano Kozo, while serving as the escort, the soldiers in the squadron would take turns to go to nearby villages to grab things and find women every day. Their style was already very He was tired, so although he made a fighting stance, his speed was very slow and his movements were not precise enough. Naturally, all of this could not escape He Wei's eyes.

Although he didn't know where the appearance was revealed, He Wei had to prepare the beheading team.

"keep going."

After saying that, He Wei gritted his teeth and continued to let the beheading team move forward. Of course, he would definitely not be able to guess the temptation hidden in Major Morita's question.

The brothers of the beheading team are all ready to fight, and the current confrontation situation between the two sides is just in favor of the beheading team. He Wei and the others are currently marching in column. The front is narrow and it is dark. Many brothers' small movements are blocked. On the opposite side, the Japanese army, which had about the same number of people as the beheading squad, spread out in a horizontal formation. The front was vast, and the area exposed to the beheading squad was also large.

"Sir, this document is for His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of Asaka Palace, King Jiuhiko."

Nishi Kanjiro shouted while holding on to his courage.

Major Morita hesitated when he heard this answer. He wanted to use the commander of the 18th Brigade as a test, but the team opposite actually ignored the commander of the 18th Brigade and directly said that he wanted to send the documents. The answer given to King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace seemed to be no problem. Considering that there were many sentries and warning blockades along the way, there shouldn't be any problems.

Could it be that I am worrying too much?

Major Morita thought to himself.

However, Amano Kozo, who was beside him, had already put down his guard. Hearing that he was going to deliver documents to King Asaka Palace Hatohiko, he immediately greeted him with a smile. After all, this was another opportunity to get close to Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko.

Although Major Morita still felt something was wrong, he had no choice but to follow. In just a short time, the distance between the beheading team and these Japanese troops was greatly shortened.

When they got closer, Amano Kozo walked up quickly and looked at Kanjiro Nishi with a smile. Kanjiro Nishi returned a stiff smile. Then, Kozo Amano looked at He Wei behind Kanjiro Nishi. , Staff Officer Huang and Yang Biao.

He Wei immediately took off his briefcase and handed it to Staff Huang, who spoke Japanese and pretended to be a Japanese military officer.

Staff Officer Huang took the briefcase, then gave a military salute to Amano Gozo, and said in Japanese: "Sir, this is an important document we seized from the corpses of the Chinese army, and it must be handed over to His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Asaka Palace, King Hatohiko. "

Amano Kozo nodded, then called Major Morita and said, "They are here to deliver the seized items."

Major Morita just said calmly: "Bring me the documents first."

Staff Officer Huang bowed first, then stepped forward, bent down and handed the briefcase to Major Morita with both hands according to Japanese rules.

Major Morita also took the briefcase with both hands. Just as Staff Officer Huang raised his head and straightened up, as soon as their eyes met, both Staff Officer Huang and Major Morita stopped. One held up the briefcase with both hands, and the other Holding the briefcase with both hands raised.

A briefcase was held by two people at the same time, motionless. After the two people's eyes met in one place, they seemed to be glued together. They looked at each other blankly, and the air around them seemed to be stagnant.

Major Morita's face was suddenly filled with panic, and Staff Officer Huang's face was also filled with shock.

The two people looked at each other for almost half a minute. Both the brothers in the beheading team and the dozens of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were puzzled by their strange behavior.

Suddenly, Major Morita and Staff Officer Huang shouted loudly in Japanese and Chinese respectively, almost in unison.

"Chinese soldiers!"

"Battle Commander He, do it quickly!"

Although he didn't know what was going on, He Wei reacted first, kicked Kanjiro Nishi away in front of him, picked up the 38-meter cover and aimed a shot at Amano Kozo. Before he could react, He Wei was shot He Wei shot his head off.

"Do it, fight."

He Wei shouted, and dozens of brothers behind him immediately spread out, and opened fire with all kinds of firearms that had been prepared. 38 guns, flower machine guns, speed machines, Czech style, all opened fire, and some people threw grenades.

The beheading team was well prepared, so of course the Japanese army on the opposite side lost the upper hand. With a round of firepower, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were immediately knocked to the ground.

"Come on, I'll kill you."

Yang Biao raised his machine gun and fired, while He Wei rushed forward. Because Staff Huang was already struggling with the Japanese officer, He Wei rushed forward and hit the Japanese officer's head with the butt of his gun, and then used Sanba Dagai stabbed the major officer four or five times in succession.

He Wei pulled up Staff Huang and asked, "What's going on? Why did you get into a fight with this Japanese officer in a daze?"

"This man is my captain instructor when I was in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. His name is Morita Yui. He is not only our tactical instructor, but also responsible for managing our daily life. He recognized me just now, and I also recognized him."

He Wei felt very unlucky when he heard this. He never expected that his boat would capsize in the gutter.

However, this was not far from the camp of the obscene King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace, so it was only reasonable to rush forward directly.

He Wei fired all the bullets in the 38-cap magazine, then threw away the rifle, took out the flower machine gun and speed machine in his backpack, got up and rushed forward.

"Brothers, charge forward and kill the Japanese emperor's uncle Gou Ri. Charge forward."

Dozens of members of the decapitation team launched a charge like tigers descending the mountain. The infantry team in front was suddenly attacked and the Japanese army's melee automatic firepower was too poor. It was shot by more than 40 machine guns and more than 40 speed machines. They couldn't lift their heads, and they were all beaten to death soon.

Immediately, the beheading team stepped on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and rushed directly to the campsite of King Asaka Palace Jiuhiko.

Hearing the sudden sound of gunfire outside the tent, the guards of Asaka Palace Hatohiko and the 18th Brigade Headquarters quickly responded. The guard force of Asaka Palace Hatohiko still has more than one squad of troops left. , this small team moved very quickly, and immediately relied on the sandbags and fortifications outside the camp to resist. The firepower network composed of light machine guns and rifles quickly hit the decapitation team, and grenade launchers also began to fire.

轰-

With a violent explosion, a 50mm grenade exploded more than a hundred meters in front of He Wei. The hot air flow came, accompanied by the sound of shrapnel and bullets breaking through the air, and another 50mm grenade exploded. The grenade came and landed in the attacking team of the decapitation team, knocking down several brothers.

Then, a series of intensive rifle bullets came over, knocking down two more brothers.

The remaining security forces of King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace had realized what He Wei and the others were doing, so they all resisted desperately. All kinds of light and heavy firearms were fired at the fastest speed, causing some casualties to the head-on attack team. He Wei Seeing that the forced charge was unsuccessful, he immediately ordered to stop advancing.

"Lie down quickly."

He Wei shouted, and the brothers in the decapitation team lay down one after another to hide. The dense rifle bullets and 50mm grenades were still coming one after another. However, He Wei would not choose any roundabout attack. Now he would win every second. The only option is a frontal attack.

"The machine gunner comes up and suppresses the enemy's rifle machine gun."

"Nishi Kanjiro, Liu Lu, where the hell are you? Bring your men over here and blast me with grenades."

He Wei shouted at the top of his lungs.

The two light machine gun teams in the decapitation team immediately came forward. The two veterans set up the Czech light machine gun and started suppressing shooting with the assistance of the deputy shooter.

"Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta"

"Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta"

Two Czech light machine guns fired at the same time, and began suppressing fire at the Japanese position in front. The two machine gunners were both veterans. They alternately covered each other when firing. When one machine gun was reloading, the other one was on top, benefiting from it. Due to the performance advantages of the Czech light machine gun, the two crooked light machine guns of the Japanese army on the opposite side were quickly suppressed and unable to fire continuously.

"He Sang, He Sang, I'm coming."

At this moment, Nishi Kanjiro also crawled over with three other Japanese prisoners, two of whom were holding Type 89 50mm grenades.

"Hurry up and ask them to hit me with grenades to suppress the enemy on the other side."

"Yes Yes."

Nishi Kanjiro, including the other three Japanese prisoners, all acted quickly. If they were still worried and panicked during the march, now that they had opened fire, they could only serve the Chinese army thoroughly and honestly.

Staff Officer Huang also came to Kanjiro Nishi to give instructions in Japanese. Two Japanese grenadiers quickly set up the Type 89 50mm grenade and began loading and shooting with the assistance of Kanjiro Nishi and another Japanese prisoner. .

Boom boom-

After the two 50mm grenades were fired, they accurately hit the Japanese fortifications. The Japanese prisoners who operated the grenades had rich experience in using them and hit the target without even testing. When the grenade exploded, a crooked light machine gun that was firing went silent.

Under the joint suppression of two Czech light machine guns and two 50mm grenade launchers, the Japanese troops blocking the decapitation team gradually became exhausted, and the decapitation team launched another attack.

The Japanese army that blocked the beheading squad was only an infantry squad. After fighting for such a long time, a lot of troops were depleted. They were suppressed by two Czech light machine guns and two grenade launchers, and could not organize any decent firepower. block.

"Throw the grenade."

He Wei took the lead with a flower machine gun and led the beheading team to a place less than fifty meters away from the Japanese army. Dozens of flower machine guns concentrated their fire, and several soldiers who were good at dropping grenades threw out grenades.

Boom boom boom

Da da da da da da ade

Several grenades exploded near the Japanese army's sandbag fortifications, sending up billowing dust clouds. Bullets fired from dozens of flower machine guns penetrated into the smoke like splashing water, and then bursts of screams could be heard.

The Japanese infantry were all equipped with rifles and had no power to fight back in close combat when faced with submachine guns.

He Wei struck while the iron was hot, and after making a breakthrough from the front, he rushed into the camp of King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace. When he entered, he saw corpses everywhere and damaged machine guns. These were obviously grenade launchers. The attack effect caused.

He Wei immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to attack and search the tents in the camp one by one in groups of three.

The meaning of attack and search is naturally to search and attack. The officers and soldiers of the beheading team are all veterans, so they naturally understand what it means. When they encounter the Japanese tent, they all throw grenades inside first. After throwing the grenades, They fired with submachine guns again, and only after the explosions and sweeps were completed, these veterans rushed in to search.

Soon, explosions and gunshots were heard one after another in the camp of King Jiuhiko of Asaka Palace.
