Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 270 Chapter 269, You are the most suitable

In a training room in Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army, a small table was placed in a corner of the training room. A middle-aged man knelt beside the small table and drank a glass of sake in a melancholy manner. Then, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish fillet, dipped it in wasabi and put it in his mouth, enjoying the spicy feeling brought by the wasabi.

"Mr. Kobayashi, your time is up!" A man's voice came from outside the door, making Captain Kobayashi, who was eating, put down his chopsticks.

Then, he picked up the wine jug, tilted his head back, and drank it all down his stomach. Then he staggered to the door.

The wooden door was opened, and the scorching sun outside made him squint slightly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a table against the wall, with a white cloth and a wakizashi on it.

Seeing this arrangement, Captain Kobayashi felt very bitter, because he knew that his life would end here!
"Mr. Xiaolin, I know you feel wronged! However, the regiment flag was seized, and the regiment commander and two battalion commanders were killed by the Eighth Route Army. Now you have the highest position. Therefore, you need to bear the responsibility!" The man who spoke just now spoke again and said what Xiaolin wanted to say.

"I...actually I did nothing wrong!" Kobayashi knelt in front of the desk, slowly unbuttoned his military uniform, and muttered to himself.

"You are not wrong. Even the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment are not wrong. You are all just following the orders of the Regiment Commander Sakata! You know this, I know this, the Commander and the officers of the Front Command know this, and even the masters of the headquarters know this! But someone has to be pulled out to take responsibility!"

"So, do you think we should pull you out to take responsibility and make you commit seppuku to apologize? Or should we let the commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade come out to apologize? Or should we let Commander Umezu apologize?"

"Ha... yes, I am the best person to apologize! There is a saying in China, a scapegoat! And I am the scapegoat!" When Xiaolin spoke, he had already taken off his military uniform, revealing his body covered with scars. Then, he tilted his head, looked at the man who was speaking, and said, "Ogasawara, we were classmates, what do you think of my scars?"

"A lot. This is your pride!" Ogasawara said, "So, my sword will be faster and more accurate later, allowing you to maintain the greatest dignity! I am honored to be your kaishakunin!"

"Ha...haha...then I can only thank you! Let's start, Ogasawara..." After Kobayashi finished speaking, he pulled the white cloth on the table and wrapped it around his waist.

Then, he held the wakizashi dagger in both hands, pointed the blade at his abdomen, and took a deep breath: "Ogasawara, after I die, please help me take care of my Sachiko!"

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, the knife flashed, and the blade fiercely stabbed into his abdomen, and then the blade moved, cutting his abdomen from left to right, leaving red marks on the white cloth, and then blood flowed out. The huge pain made Xiao Lin's body tremble, and a bloody smell began to rush up from his mouth, but his consciousness was clear.

At this moment, Xiao Lin remembered that one of the tortures in China was beheading. He felt that the pain at this moment was no less than beheading.

At this moment, Ogasawara drew out his sword, and the blade quickly cut across Kobayashi's neck, then sheathed it. Ogasawara's swordsmanship was good, Kobayashi's head was cut off, but not completely broken, the blood on the neck gushed upwards, and the whole head drooped on the chest, as if he was holding his head.

An unorthodox seppuku ended, and someone from the Japanese army took the responsibility for the defeat, and then everyone was happy.

Considering that the Independent Mixed Brigade No. 2 had a heavy task and there was a plan to expand it into a division, the Japanese officers and soldiers who originally belonged to the nd Battalion were disbanded and divided among the various battalions of the th Brigade, just in time to be used as the backbone of the grassroots.

Therefore, the Sakata regiment is gone, completely lost in the Japanese organization... However, the Japanese are still frantically forming new divisions, and the loss of a regiment does not seem to have much impact except for the face! When people are shameless, they don't care about these things! The flag of the White Tiger Regiment that was attacked by surprise in South Korea was captured, isn't it still there...

The affairs of the Japanese devils had nothing to do with Li Yuexuan at this time, because Li Yuexuan had already led a small team from Liangjia Village to the arsenal!
Since the order from the headquarters came, and it was personally issued by Minister Zhang, Li Yuexuan had no other ideas except to carry it out honestly! However, when the guerrillas heard that Li Yuexuan was going to be seconded, they were reluctant to let him go! But after learning that he could come back, everyone had no objections!

Well, as long as Liu Bei doesn’t borrow Jingzhou, it’s nothing… Besides, it’s good that Comrade Peregrine went to the arsenal, so our comrades can get new weapons earlier!
The order was given by Minister Zhang, but the call came from the brigade. The brigade was very concerned about Li Yuexuan's safety and specifically instructed Zhao Danian to send a capable force to protect Li Yuexuan as he went to the arsenal. The brigade commander even requested that the guerrillas' mortar platoon must be brought along!

Why? Didn't the brigade commander find two artillerymen? Don't send them here now, just go to the arsenal to join them. When we get there, the comrades from the headquarters' special forces regiment will be in charge of the security, and the two mortar squads can also train, and at the same time, they can also strengthen the firepower of the comrades from the special forces regiment.

So, Li Yuexuan led the mortar platoon, Xing Weiguo led the vanguard squad, the transport squad brought a week's supply of fried noodles and a large amount of ammunition, and even Lao Yan from the cooking squad specially packed a ceramic jar of fried cicada monkeys. Then they set out from Liangjia Village and headed for the arsenal.

Before leaving, Li Yuexuan did not forget to remind his comrades to take good care of the newly planted corn fields this year, because the fields were planted with newly bred varieties and they needed to be careful.

Then, with a bit of trepidation and a pilgrimage mentality, Li Yuexuan and his party set out on the mountain road southward, heading towards the arsenal in She County.

"Gee, gee..." In the team, the nine majestic Japanese war horses were carrying some supplies and walking with everyone in small steps. They were also ordered around by the soldiers, feeling very aggrieved.

"Haha, I hope Comrade Peregrine can learn how to fight on horseback on his way there! If the semi-automatic team that Comrade Peregrine envisioned can be formed, then we will be rich..." Looking at the team going away, Zhao Danian couldn't help but look forward to the future prospects of the guerrillas.
