Chenjiayu Security Team Headquarters.
After Major Kawamoto and the translator left, everyone started talking.
"Captain, we can't go," Tang Dalong spoke first. "This is obviously a trap for us to fall into. If they are sincere in getting along with us, why don't they just send Zhen Sifei back? Why do they have to wait for the captain to come in person? After he went there, he was released? Is this Zhen Sifei dead or alive? You can't help but rescue him before you bring him in, captain."
"Yes, captain, they must have bad intentions, so they can't go." Everyone said so.
"Brothers, since the gendarmerie has focused on us, we can't hide even if we want to. Even if I don't go, if they unite with the people from Hongmakan and send troops to attack us, with our current strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to hide. The only risk is to be beaten, or maybe even the whole army will be wiped out," Zhang Tianhe analyzed, "Since Major Kawamoto personally sent the invitation, and they are so kind, then I will go there and feel out their background. , let’s see what their intentions are, and Major Kawamoto has repeatedly promised that there is no malice, and maybe we can rescue Zhen Sifei. Of course, after I rescue Zhen Sifei, I will deal with him seriously. "
"Captain, how can you believe what Mr. Kawamoto says?" Tang Dalong said.
"In my opinion, they mainly want to win over us, use us, and want us to deal with their opponents and enemies. I'm afraid they haven't reached the point where they have to eliminate us," Zhang Tianhe said. "If that's the case, Then, there’s no need for Major Kawamoto to come to our place, can’t we just start the fight and be done with it?”
"The captain's analysis is correct," Liu Bodu said. "Whether it is Tsarist Russia or Japan, these powers want to carve up our territory and make money from it. However, they are hampered by insufficient manpower and material resources, multilateral operations, and too long battle lines. Due to the constraints of other factors, they no longer blindly used force to conquer this rough method, but became smarter, adopted a gentle policy, and began to win over and bribe. That's why Qingfeng Village embraced Tsarist Russia's lap, Red Horse Kan will reach an agreement with the Gendarmerie, and we have become the target of their efforts. After all, the Mongolian bandits are so cunning, and they were defeated by us. It is not easy for them to eliminate us. The so-called killing a thousand enemies, Even if they hurt themselves eight hundred times, they have to weigh it."
"Mr. Liu makes sense. As long as we handle it carefully, there should be no life-threatening danger." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Captain, if you insist on going, then I will accompany you." Tang Dalong said.
"Yes, captain, let's all go!" everyone said.
"How can we all go? It's not like we're going to fight. When we're on one-third of an acre of land, it's of no use if there are too many people. On the contrary, it will make others look down on us," Zhang Tianhe said, "Brother Tang, your injury hasn't healed yet. Just don’t go, Chen Jia, Ma Longtan, Li Tieniu, you three, come with me."
"Yes." The three agreed.
"I'll leave all the family matters to Mr. Liu. Patrol when it's time to patrol and train when it's time to train." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Captain, please rest assured that nothing will happen to your family," Liu Bodu said, "but you must be careful when you go this time."
"I know this." Zhang Tianhe said.
On the second day of April, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tianhe, Chen Jia, Ma Longtan, and Li Tieniu got up early. After washing up and having breakfast, the four of them got on their horses and rushed to the Chengde Gendarmerie Headquarters.
The four people arrived at seven o'clock in the morning. Zhang Tianhe looked up and saw that there was a barbed wire fence on the tall courtyard wall, with bunkers and bunkers on it, and the barriers were tight. There are sentries guarding the left and right sides of the gate and on the top of the wall, with serious expressions, like wood carvings and clay sculptures, loaded with guns and ammunition, ready for action at any time.
At this moment, the door opened, and Major Kawamoto and the translator came out.
"Zhang Jun, great hero, you really keep your word, welcome!" Major Kawamoto said cheerfully, and when he came closer, he saluted Zhang Tianhe again.
"Mr. Kawamoto, you're welcome. How can I not come to our appointment?" Zhang Tianhe said.
"Very good. Have you four eaten breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"Then please come with me, the spring parade performance is about to begin." Major Kawamoto said, at this time, a soldier led the horses of the four people over.
As soon as the four people entered the gate from the outside, the guard guarding the gate closed the big iron gate with a bang and immediately locked the big iron lock. With a click, the big lock was locked.
"What do you mean? Are you going to keep us here for a long time and care about our food for a long time?" The silly hero Li Tieniu looked back and said, "I may eat! Don't feel bad if you eat too much by then!"
"Where, where, the first is to prevent the prisoners from escaping, and the second is to prevent foreign enemies from invading and protect everyone," Major Kawamoto said with a smile, "When you come to our place, you can eat as much as you want, no need to be polite."
"That's what you said. You have to mean what you say." Li Tieniu said.
"Of course it counts." Major Kawamoto said cheerfully.
While talking, Major Kawamoto took them to the gate tower in front of the school military field.
"Mr. Colonel, Zhang Tian and the captain of the Chenjiayu Security Team have arrived." Major Kawamoto saluted an officer standing on the gate tower and reported.
Zhang Tianhe looked carefully and saw a tall Japanese officer standing in front of him, wearing glasses, a black beard and a serious expression.
"Zhang Jun, this is our Hetian Colonel." Major Kawamoto introduced.
"Zhang Jun, nice to meet you." Colonel Hetian turned around, his expression softened, and he nodded to Zhang Tianhe.
Japanese military officers are very practical. In the establishment of the Japanese army, the official position of a major is equivalent to the deputy commander of the regiment. According to the establishment of a Japanese army at the time, there were 3,800 people, and the official position of a colonel is roughly equivalent to the chief of staff of the division. , the level of brigade commander.
"Captain, look, that person is Ren Zhanbiao." Ma Longtan pointed at the young man standing next to Colonel Hetian and said to Zhang Tianhe.
Zhang Tianhe followed the direction of his finger and saw a man bowing his head and groveling, looking like a slave, and smiling flatteringly at Colonel Hetian and Major Kawada from time to time.
Ren Zhanbiao had never met Zhang Tianhe, but he knew Ma Longtan. He didn't expect to see him here. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He wanted to slap him to death, but here, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Be able to swallow your anger.
"Instructor Ma, you just said, who is Ren Zhanbiao?" The silly hero came over and asked, "I'm going to throw him to death!"
Zhang Tianhe glared at him, and he stepped aside and stopped talking.
"Zhang Jun, you and Ren Zhanbiao know each other, right?" Major Kawamoto also noticed, "There may have been some misunderstandings between you in the past, but now, you are all our invited guests, and we are all friends, right? Ren Zhanbiao!"
"Here, Taijun!" When Ren Zhanbiao heard Major Kawamoto calling him, he quickly lowered his head, bent over, and trotted over, "Taijun, what are your orders?"
"This is Zhang Tianhe, the captain of the Chenjiayu Security Team. Whatever grievances you have between you will be wiped out. Just shake hands." Major Kawamoto said.
"Yes, Taijun." Ren Zhanbiao said, extending his right hand forward, "Captain Zhang, hello!"
"Hello." Zhang Tianhe also stretched out his right hand, and held the two hands together. Suddenly, Ren Zhanbiao squeezed his hand hard, like a pliers, holding Zhang Tianhe's hand firmly.
Ren Zhanbiao’s hands were no better than ordinary people’s hands. He had practiced peeling rice for more than a year and was even more powerful than iron sand palm. If he hadn’t had any skill, Zhang Tianhe’s right hand bones would have been pinched by him at that time. broken.
As soon as Ren Zhanbiao pressed his hand hard, Zhang Tianhe felt something was wrong. He quickly understood that Ren Zhanbiao wanted to give him a blow.
Zhang Tianhe held Ren Zhanbiao's hand with his right hand, and they both exerted force at the same time, refusing to give in to each other.
On the surface, to outsiders, it seemed that the two had a deep relationship, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. The two held each other's hands and were reluctant to let go for a long time.
In fact, there are undercurrents surging, and everyone is competing. If you are not careful, your right hand will become useless.
After holding hands for about a minute, neither side could win, so they each stopped.
"Is everyone here?" Colonel Hetian asked.
"The reports are all here." Major Kawamoto replied.
"Okay, it's almost eight o'clock, let's start!" Colonel Hetian said.
"Yes." Major Kawamoto replied. Then, he stood forward and waved to the 500 soldiers on the school military field, and the spring drill performance began.
Zhang Tianhe stood on the gatehouse of the school military field and looked at the Japanese soldiers below. He saw that they were uniformly dressed, neatly lined up, high in energy, and everyone was excited.
Following the command of the leading officer, various formations were changed, with neat steps and standardized movements.
Next, the performance is stabbing.
"All of them, put on bayonets." Following the command of the leading officer, all five hundred soldiers on the campus field put their bayonets on the front of their spears.
It must be said that the Japanese army's stabbing force was extremely lethal.
In hand-to-hand combat, the traditional weapon we use is a broadsword. Although the broadsword looks good, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. If it only cuts the opponent's leg or back, generally speaking, the opponent can continue to fight. Moreover, using a broadsword requires strong explosive power, which consumes a lot of physical strength. Generally speaking, if a few people chop it down, it will be difficult for ordinary warriors to continue to support it.
In contrast, the bayonets used by the Japanese army were much more professional. The bayonets had health grooves and could kill with one hit on the battlefield. Therefore, compared with bayonets, broadswords are bulky and less lethal.
In addition, the Japanese army used a 38-meter large cover, coupled with a bayonet, and the length reached more than 1.7 meters. Therefore, once a hand-to-hand combat began, our soldiers were often stabbed by the opponent before they even touched each other. Most of the Japanese soldiers were specially trained They are trained strictly, and our soldiers often go to work in the fields with hoes in the morning, and are dragged onto the battlefield at noon. They often use broadswords as spears.
In terms of physical strength, people are well-nourished and recharged, but most of our people are poor, lack food and drink, and are malnourished.
"Hey! Hey!" They saw many straw men tied up in front of them, picked up their bayonets, shouted loudly, and stabbed them with all their strength.
Shouting loudly is also a kind of momentum and a kind of power.
