"hahahahahahahaha!......"
"Haha! Hahaha!..."
Dano and Sasaki couldn't stop laughing. In the eyes of others, these two people may be crazy.
What's so funny about exchanging prisoners of war?
But both of them were laughing.
In fact, to put it bluntly, neither of them is a fuel-efficient person.
When Dragon Boat Festival plotted against Sasaki, Sasaki also plotted against Dragon Boat Festival.
Sasaki thinks that he knows enough about Dragon Boat Festival.
The young man in front of him is as cunning as a fox. His cunning makes it difficult to believe that he is just a young man under twenty years old.
Dragon Boat Festival is so experienced, with such wisdom and sophistication, Sasaki even feels that many Japanese officers who are forty, fifty, or even sixty years old cannot do this at all.
And who is Sasaki?
This old devil stayed in China for twenty years. He has seen countless Chinese military officers. But I have never seen anyone like Duanwu.
But the most important thing is that there is probably a Chinese espionage organization hidden within the Japanese army.
He didn't believe it before. But at this time, he had to believe it. Because Dragon Boat Festival has always been serious about what he said.
Therefore, he also has to report this matter to His Excellency Matsui Iwane.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he now wants to keep Dragon Boat Festival. Because Duan Wu is not only cunning but also holds a spy network in the Japanese military. So how could he let such an important person leave?
At the same time, Danwu also noticed Sasaki's subconscious movements.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Mr. Sasaki, I advise you not to have any evil intentions. Since I dare to come to see you, am I not prepared at all? Hum hum hum!"
Dano's sneer reminded Sasaki. Indeed, if there was no preparation, how could the other party ride a horse and stand in front of him with such arrogance?
But the strangest thing is that even though Sasaki observed carefully, he still found no trace of any large corps movements nearby.
What's more, even a large army is useless. Behind him were at least two infantry regiments, an artillery brigade, four heavy machine gun squadrons, two hundred headquarters officers, baggage troops, etc.
All these people added up, there are eight to nine thousand people.
So with so many people here, he is not afraid even if a large group fights.
So, Sasaki sneered: "Your Excellency Duanwu, how many troops have you brought with you? Are you so confident?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "There are two people coming. One is me and the other is Mr. Chen."
"Hahaha!"
When Sasaki heard this, he sneered three times and then said: "Two people, what are you threatening me with?"
Duanwu said calmly: "I can't talk about threats. I never like to threaten others. However, I still have a little preparation. Haha! Mr. Sasaki, you must be on guard against others!"
Sasaki glanced around. There were bare mountains all around, and the woods were also in low-lying areas. In such a place, it was not easy to hide people.
Finally, in a flash of sunlight, the knife was exposed.
Daozi was lying on a hillside with a telescope and looking around. But the sun flickered and the telescope reflected light, but Sasaki saw it.
Sasaki said with a smile: "Your Excellency Duanwu, is your trump card the sniper fifty meters away from us? Hahaha, your Chinese snipers are only like this, so close? Is it because you are afraid that your gun will miss the target? Already?"
"Huh?"
Duanwu was surprised because he didn't arrange any snipers at all.
He looked back and saw someone lying on the hillside fifty meters behind him.
Duanwu shouted: "Come out, everyone will see you."
"Hey, hey!"
Dao Zi responded twice quickly, came down from the hillside, and came on horseback. When we got closer, it was hard to say anything in front of Sasaki.
But the knife came up with an idea and said: "The regiment officer said that the meat has been cooked. If you don't go back, regiment leader, no one will dare to eat it?"
Duanwu thought to himself: This guy is really good at knitting knives, and the meat is already cooked.
However, for Sasaki, this had a great deterrent effect, and it could be considered that the knife had made a contribution.
What's more, Dragon Boat Festival also wanted to find an opportunity to withdraw. After all, he has done everything he needs to do. To avoid long nights and many dreams.
Duanwu said: "Sasaki, you heard it, the meat has been cooked, and the brothers are still waiting for me to go back to eat.
Regarding the prisoners of war, you should go back and think about it carefully. Except you have to release all the prisoners of war. You have to give me two hundred gold bars as compensation. Otherwise I won't let him go.
The reason is very simple. You Japanese army have always been falsely reporting your military exploits, and you have often captured civilians as prisoners of war.
I believed you when you said there were four hundred prisoners of war. After all, they were all Chinese. But their quality is incomparable to your well-trained soldiers. 156 people, you think about it yourself, think about it. "
After the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to turn the horse's head back to Changshu.
But at this moment, Sasaki said: Slow down.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese soldiers rushed up one by one and surrounded Duanwu and others.
Sasaki laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Lord Duanwu, I don't think the lives of the 156 soldiers of the empire are as valuable as yours, Lord Danwu. What's more, buy one get one free, and there is a commander of the 44th Division here. Ha. Haha, Your Excellency Duanwu, it seems that I am not losing money on this transaction?"
"hehe!"
Duanwu laughed dryly, and then said: "Sasaki, take your telescope and look towards your 11 o'clock direction, about 800 meters away. You will see the little gift I prepared for you."
Sasaki frowned and motioned for his men to step aside for now. Then he reached down toward the horse. His guard quickly ran forward and handed the binoculars into Sasaki's hand.
The old Japanese took a telescope and looked in the direction pointed by the Dragon Boat Festival. Eight hundred meters away, a black gun muzzle was aimed at this place.
"idiot!"
Sasaki gasped angrily, because that cannon belonged to his 30th Brigade. But at this time, it was targeting itself.
He just said, why is that Duanwu so confident that he even uses a 150mm cannon as a sniper rifle?
The 150mm cannon does not need to hit directly. As long as it explodes within a range of thirty meters, no one on the entire mountain road will be able to leave alive.
Sasaki didn't know what he should say at this time. But the dignity of the Japanese Imperial Samurai forced him to say something.
He pretended to be calm and said: "Your Excellency Duanwu, are you very confident in your artillery? Can he shoot so accurately at a distance of 800 meters?"
Duanwu saw the old Japanese's guilty conscience and said with a faint smile: "This is the worst artillery fire in our independent regiment. Mr. Sasaki, how about we make a bet on how good his artillery fire is? I will do it now." Order him to fire. Then we are both here. If the shooting is not accurate, then I will die. If the shooting is accurate, how about we die together?
Hahaha! It is my Dragon Boat Festival honor to die with Mr. Sasaki, hahaha! "
Dan Wu burst out laughing, while Sasaki secretly cursed Dan Wu for being a lunatic.
Of course, he would not doubt whether Duanwu had the courage. Because the man in front of him is crazy.
However, at a time like this, shouldn’t he reflect his bushido spirit? What's more, Dragon Boat Festival's life is still so valuable in his eyes?
Just kidding, the spirit of Bushido is a cruel idea of loyalty to the emperor that is instilled by high-ranking officials into lower-level officers or soldiers.
Translating it into vernacular means recruiting a group of people to work for themselves.
In order to make their subordinates loyal and brave in battle, monarchs or employers copied the teachings of Buddhism and Confucius and Mencius and made up such a bushido.
For example, what Buddhism talks about is letting things take their own course, being patient and trustworthy. When things are difficult, you must be perseverant, and if you want to die, you must deal with it calmly. It was copied by Bushido.
In Confucianism, the way to respect the five moral ethics is to have a clear understanding of world affairs, to respect the heart of the benevolent, and to know that conscience is the law of heaven. Nor was he spared by Bushido.
The eight words loyalty, courage, perseverance, propriety, Cheng, guest, and benevolence in Shintoism have also become the central ideas of Bushido.
In fact, to put it bluntly, those in power want to use these feudal ideas to constrain the minds of the warriors to serve themselves and be loyal to themselves.
So as a smart man, how could Sasaki make fun of his own life like those stupid low-level soldiers?
He is a general. He came to China to sit and command, not to die on the front lines. So let him gamble with Dragon Boat Festival? Only a fool would accompany a madman to death.
But on the surface, he remained calm. Dayi Lingran said: "Hahaha, I was just joking with Your Excellency Duanwu. The lives of the Imperial soldiers are above all else. I will not watch the Imperial soldiers die in a foreign land. Please give me some time, and I will The prisoners of war were sent to Changshu City!"
"Mr. Sasaki, he is indeed a kind man and loves the soldiers. I admire him. However, I still want to say that I am going to blow up this section of the road. Mr. Sasaki, it is better to leave as soon as possible. See you later!"
After saying the Dragon Boat Festival, he adjusted the horse's head and left.
Muranoo beside Sasaki said anxiously: "Sir, are you just going to let him go?"
"Baga, a 150mm cannon is aiming at us, retreat quickly!"
Sasaki roared, turned the horse's head and galloped away. Who cares about the life and death of his soldiers?
Sasaki ran all the way, running more than a hundred meters in one breath.
He looked back at this moment, only to hear a sharp sound breaking through the air, and with a bang, a cannonball fell right where he had been talking to Duanwu.
The huge explosion directly shattered the hard soil on the road, and the rolling air waves annihilated everything in just an instant.
His front troops, the Japanese who had not had time to escape, were blown away like tattered garbage.
The truck also overturned from the road to the bottom of the roadbed, and the explosion sent a plume of smoke more than thirty meters high.
Sand and dust swept in a hundred meters away, like dark clouds.
Sasaki was extremely panicked.
Of course, his panic was definitely not because of the explosion of the cannon shell, but because the shell hit so accurately.
Even his 30th brigade could not find anyone with such a precise shelling. This simply means hitting wherever you go.
Muranofu also said in panic: "Sir, is that man's cannon so accurate?"
"Baga, now is not the time to talk about this. Order your soldiers to disperse immediately. The Chinese will not just fire this one shot."
"Hi!"
Muranofu responded, and then loudly ordered his soldiers to disperse immediately.
But at this time, Sasaki had already run away.
This old devil is smart, he first finds a blind spot where the other party's artillery fire can hide. Otherwise, he would be killed by a cannon, and all his years of hard work would be in vain.
Why is Sasaki jumping up and down the political arena in China and Japan? Isn’t it just to get promoted and make a fortune? Is it really to be loyal to the emperor?
Loyalty to the Emperor is just an excuse, because without the Emperor, there would not be so many obedient chess pieces under him.
Therefore, he would not feel bad even if many of his men died. What he wants is to keep his old life and continue to dominate as his general.
So the old devil whipped up his horse and whipped his horse, and was the first to escape.
Murano was still stupidly following Sasaki's order to evacuate his troops.
Of course, he couldn't listen even if he wanted to. Because Sasaki is his immediate boss.
So some things are just meant to be. Sun Shiyu expected that the little Japanese officer would flee for his life behind, so he moved the muzzle of the gun to the rear of the mountain road.
What's more, there are several Japs' trucks on the mountain road, and Sun Shiyu wants to blow them up together.
Muranoo was directing the evacuation of Japanese troops and was near these trucks.
Sun Shiyu hit them with one shot, and the two trucks and the villagers evaporated from the world in an instant.
If you were hit by such a large-caliber cannon, there would be no bones left, and you wouldn't even be able to find a piece of clothing.
Countless Japanese were killed in the bombing. I don't know how many Japanese soldiers died in the explosion.
The soldiers beside Sun Shiyu laughed loudly: "Battalion Commander, if only we had a few more artillery shells, we would blow up these little devils to death."
Sun Shiyu patted the soldier on the shoulder and said: "Two shells are just right, more will not be of much use. The Japanese are hiding. There is a winding mountain road, and we cannot launch a large-scale shelling. Otherwise, I really want to Blow up these devils."
Speaking of this, Sun Shiyu looked at Tuan Zuo who was running in the distance, and sighed in his heart: "Everything was as expected by Tuan Zuo. It's really amazing."
It turned out that these two cannonballs were not left by Sun Shiyu, but by Xie Jinyuan who received the Dragon Boat Festival order. Leave behind a large-caliber cannon, then two cannonballs and an explosive pack.
At that time, Sun Shiyu still felt that there were few artillery shells. But now it seems that the number of shells is just right. The first shot saved the regiment. The second shot destroyed several Japanese trucks. This battle can be said to be a complete victory.
"Blow up the cannon and let's go meet the regiment."
Sun Shiyu ordered resolutely, then looked back and saw that the cannon was at least 90% new.
He was reluctant to give up. But there is nothing we can do. Cannons cannot be left to the Japanese. It must be blown up.
The two soldiers were also a little reluctant to leave, and one of them actually cried.
Sun Shiyu knew how much the soldiers liked this cannon.
But there is no way. With the three of them, this cannon cannot be taken away.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the cannon on the top of the mountain disintegrated in a huge explosion.
Sun Shiyu and two other soldiers saluted towards the top of the mountain to say their final farewell to their comrades. Then he mounted his war horse and went to the official road to meet up with the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Hahaha, Old Sun, is this cannon accurate? If it were not for you today, Sasaki would not let me back."
Sun Shiyu was as shy as a big girl, and said with a naive smile: "Wherever, even without my grandson, Tuanzuo can still come back."
"Hahaha!"
Duanwu laughed loudly, because if there was no Sun Shiyu. He really had other ideas. It's just a little risky.
A group of six people were chatting and laughing, speeding away on the road, but at this moment, a buzzing sound came from the southeast direction.
Dragon Boat Festival was the first to hear it. He tightened the reins of his horse and shouted: "Hey!"
The war horse stood up and made a neighing sound.
At the same time, Chen Yong and others also reined in their horses.
Chen Yong asked: "Special Commissioner, what's wrong?"
Duanwu frowned and said: "There is a plane, it belongs to the Japanese. I'm afraid the people who come here are not evil!..."
