Koichi Hahara stepped into Malan Village for the first time.
He thinks the names of Chinese villages are sometimes very interesting.
Late at night.
It was pitch dark all around and nothing could be seen.
This has advantages for action, but also disadvantages.
"just in front."
Montenegro whispered.
"Be careful."
Now, Koichi Hahara and the five people he brought could only use the moonlight to explore.
They were afraid of causing any noise, so they took every step carefully.
Finally approached Lao Zhu’s house.
"action."
Hikaru Hahara gave the order one by one.
Just as his men were preparing to climb over the wall, an accident suddenly happened.
A big searchlight suddenly turned on, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
"No, there's an ambush!"
Hikari Hahara yelled.
However, it was too late.
All around, countless voices came:
"Drop your weapons, drop your weapons!"
"Right here, Yu Shai."
Hahara Koichi found strangely that he didn't have any fear at all.
What surprised him even more was that he found that he seemed to be still waiting for this moment to arrive!
Gunshots rang out in the small village of Malan Village.
…
Heishan really led his men and tried to break out several times, but was beaten back every time.
And the opponent's firepower is not very strong.
Even the searchlight went out.
But as long as Heishan really wants to rush somewhere, the dense rain of bullets will definitely knock them back.
In a distant place, Hahara Koichi could still see a lot of light.
Those are the car's headlights.
Malan Village, a dragnet!
"Why don't they attack?"
Montenegro, who failed to break out again, wiped his sweat and gasped.
"They're waiting for daybreak."
Hahara Koichi still said calmly: "Wait until dawn, that's when they really start, because they want to catch them alive."
"Your Excellency Hahara, we will not become prisoners." Heishan Zhen said with murderous intent, "We will fight until the last moment and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Why bother?"
However, Hahara Koichi said unexpectedly: "Don't we have sacrificed many people? Why do we have to die here?"
…
The sound of gunfire woke up Malan Cun who was sleeping.
No one dared to come out.
Meng Shaoyuan was sitting on a recliner, drinking tea and squinting his eyes.
Li Zhifeng was convinced.
Every step is in the commander's calculation.
From Chongqing, to Guang'an, and then to Malan Village.
He counted every step.
"It will be dawn in more than three hours."
Li Zhifeng looked at the time and said, "Sir, please take a nap."
"Can't sleep."
Meng Shaoyuan opened his eyes: "Tell me, who will lead the team this time? Will we catch a big fish?"
Li Zhifeng shrugged.
How could he know?
Meng Shaoyuan actually didn't need his answer, so he murmured: "It's almost dawn."
…
Its daybreak.
At this time, Heishan really realized that there were people everywhere.
There were also people holding loudspeakers and loudly telling the villagers not to go out.
There was nowhere to run.
Two of his men were wounded.
"They want to kill us, easily."
Hahara Koichi suddenly said: "They just want to catch people alive, it's over."
it's over?
Heishan Zhen was startled, and then said: "Your Excellency Hahara, please allow me to lead their last attack and open a bloody path for you!"
"There is no need." Hanbara Koichi shook his head: "We have no chance to rush out. There is no need to sacrifice in vain anymore. Give up, Montenegro-kun."
"What? Give up?" Heishan was really shocked: "What are you going to do?"
"Monoyama-kun, you still have a wife and children." Koichi Hahara's voice was so calm: "Promise me to live until the end of the war. All responsibilities will be borne by me alone.
In the future, if you have the opportunity to return to Japan, please tell them that this decision was made by me and has nothing to do with any of you. "
"No, Lord Hahara." Heishan Zhen raised his voice: "I will never let you bear it alone."
"Black Mountain is true!"
Hanbara Koichi suddenly said seriously: "This is an order, please obey it!"
"Hai!"
At this moment, there were tears in Heishan Zhen's eyes.
Koichi Hahara came out of his hiding place.
Just as he thought, no one shot him.
He put a gun to his head: "I am Koichi Hahara, center left of the Imperial Japanese Army. I request negotiations with your person in charge!"
…
"Habara Koichi? Is he here?"
Meng Shaoyuan didn't even think about it. He got up from the recliner:
"It's time to resolve the feud that started in Shanghai in this small village!"
…
"Habara Koichi!"
"Meng Shaoyuan!"
The two old rivals finally stood face to face again.
The distance between the two sides is only a dozen steps.
Hahara Koichi actually laughed:
"Mr. Meng, it's really you!"
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "I didn't expect you to come in person."
"What a beautiful weather, isn't it?" Han Yuanguang looked up at the sky, and then he looked at Meng Shaoyuan: "Am I qualified to negotiate?"
He asked so politely.
He knew that the advantage now was entirely on Meng Shaoyuan's side. If he wanted to kill him, the other party would have no effort at all!
But he had an advantage, the muzzle of his gun was pointed at his head.
"Tell me your conditions." Meng Shaoyuan asked seriously.
"All my people surrender." Koichi Hahara said seriously: "They will also cooperate fully in future interrogations. But please don't hurt them."
"It's a very reasonable request." Meng Shaoyuan agreed without any consideration: "I promise that I will not hurt them. Maybe one day in the future, they will have the opportunity to return to Japan."
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." Koichi Hahara was very polite: "The second request is that I be allowed to commit suicide."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Please agree to my request, Mr. Meng." Koichi Hahara said immediately: "Of course, before I die, I will tell you everything I know, exactly, and I will promise not to hide anything.
Please understand my feelings. I have nothing to lose, and someone always needs to take responsibility for failure in China. The one who takes responsibility is me.
You may not know that even if my men are released one day, they will still be held accountable when they return to Japan. I have another small request. I hope you can let the news out. This failure was entirely caused by Hahara Koichi's stubbornness and incompetence. My subordinates have tried their best to persuade me. "
"You are actually a pretty good person, really." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Many times, I appreciate you, your hard work, your never giving up. And your dedication to your subordinates.
I promise you, Koichi Hahara, I agree with you committing suicide with honor! "
