my bright sword career

Chapter 138 Do You Need a Loyal Dog?
The two people who appeared out of nowhere were Xiaoshan Shandong and his squad leader. After being separated from the main force, they could only walk along the guns and guns. As they walked, Xiaoshandong was the first to spot the two Japanese soldiers who fled in a panic. .

Originally, Xiaoshan wanted to kill them, but was stopped by the squad leader. What if he could ask the way, even if he couldn't ask, he would be killed if he couldn't.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Heihachi Ihara was the first to drop the rifle in his hand and raised his hand. Yoji Uehara was still hesitating, but after Yoji Uehara kicked him hard, he also dropped the gun and slowly raised it hand.

Seeing the two devils drop their guns, the monitor's vigilant look eased a bit, and he turned his head and said, "Xiaoshan Shandong, ask them, what is this place?"

"Squad leader...I...I don't know Japanese either, how can you ask me?"

"If I can fucking speak the devil's bird language, I'll let you ask me?" The squad leader scolded angrily, and the two of them looked at each other, only to realize that even if they captured the prisoners, it would be useless if they didn't understand the language.

"Squad leader, since you can't ask anything, just kill them, so we can go to the troops." Xiaoshan Shandong made a suggestion.

Before the squad leader could speak, he saw an older ghost on the opposite side suddenly stammering in unproficient Chinese: "Don't...don't kill us...I...I can speak a little Chinese."

Xiaoshan Dong pointed at the talking devil in surprise and shouted: "Hey... squad leader, this little devil actually knows what we say!"

The squad leader looked even more serious, pointed the gun at his chest, put his finger on the trigger, ready to fire at any time, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you, and how can you speak our Chinese language?"

"Sir, I... My name is Heihachi Ihara, and I am willing to surrender to you, please accept our surrender!"

After finishing speaking, Ihara Heihachi bowed solemnly to the two, and threw all the weapons on his body, including grenades and bayonets, on the ground.

Seeing that the little devil in front of him surrendered so completely, both the squad leader and Xiao Shandong were dumbfounded.

In their impression and experience, the Japanese devils' will to fight is extremely tenacious. Let alone put down their guns and surrender obediently, even if they are seriously injured, they will struggle to commit suicide.

It should be noted that the first article of the Japanese infantry drill code clearly states: Never surrender, because it will only shame your relatives, and you must save the last bullet for yourself.

In the cognition of Orientals, surrendering is a very shameful thing, and even makes oneself and even relatives and friends feel ashamed, especially in Japan where Bushido is prevalent.

"Squad leader, what should we do?" Xiao Shandong hesitated, and looked at his own squad leader.

"This one……"

The squad leader was also scratching his head, he was just a little sergeant, and he had never encountered such a thing.

In the end, the squad leader decided to leave this trouble to his chief. The two of them carried all the rifles, bullets and grenades of Ihara Heihachi and Uehara Yoji on their backs, and walked towards the place where the gunfire sounded...

Even Gao Hongming didn't expect the 41st Division to be defeated like this, especially when he ordered the troops to launch a counter-charge, this failure turned into a big rout, and it really demonstrated what it means to be defeated like a mountain.

In the dark night, nearly [-] Japanese troops staged a scene of Jedi escape. Looking around, there are surging crowds everywhere. Countless soldiers in yellow-green military uniforms and soldiers in gray-green military uniforms are intertwined. There were gunshots and shouts.

But the difference is that the rout of the Japanese soldiers was a real rout, while the Liantai militia was scattered but not chaotic, and most of the chasing troops could form a certain battle formation.

The reason for this is not to say that the quality of the officers and soldiers of the Liantai militia is much higher than that of the Japanese army. On the contrary, objectively speaking, in terms of the quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese army, the Japanese army is actually higher than that of the Liantai militia.

And the reason for this result, apart from the defeat of the Japanese army, the main reason is that the Japanese army was scattered in the dark night, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find the soldiers. Looking around, it was all in the middle of Heibu Longdong. No one knew where to go.

The Liantai militia is different. Although they also have black eyes, compared with the Japanese army, the biggest advantage of the Liantai militia is that Gao Hongming, who came from later generations, knows the role of wireless communication in war.

In addition to equipping the radio station to the battalion level, he also equipped the SCR-300 walkie-talkie to the platoon level. This also allows the battalion company commanders to effectively control the troops even if the troops run away and ask them where they are and where they are. Condition.

Although precise positioning cannot be performed as during the day, even if only the approximate position and situation can be reported, it is enough for the commander.

It was a night of chaos, but also a night of madness.

Decades later, this battle was even called the most humiliating night in the history of the Japanese Army by Japanese historians.

A reorganized division of the Japanese army went to attack the pass that was only defended by a militia group. Not to mention failing to win the position, it was defeated by the opponent. The most shameful thing is that after the defeat, they were chased and beaten by others. This is simply subverted Japan's record of shame since the Meiji Restoration.

The defeat lasted for a whole night, and the Japanese army retreated to Ping'an County. Koizumi Koizumi reorganized the remnant soldiers for defense. After the sky became bright, Gao Hongming gave the order to stop the pursuit.

It is not easy for other troops in Huaxia, even the most elite German weapon masters or even the central instructors, to issue orders to withdraw troops that have already dispersed. It will take at least three to five days to gather the troops. Even ten days and half a month is possible, but this problem is too big a problem for Gao Hongming from time to time, who made this guy frantically equip the walkie-talkie to the first-level unit of the platoon.

It can be said that this unremarkable thing played a vital role in the smooth playing last night.

Standing on the Qixia pass, Gao Hongming watched groups of soldiers returning one after another in front of him. He couldn't restrain the smile on his face. Although he hadn't slept all night, he was still full of energy.

"Sir...great victory...great victory..."

Amid the sound of footsteps, Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui, You Tianliang, Li Changan and other battalion commanders came to the headquarters together. Everyone couldn't hide the joy in their eyes. Wu Chengfeng came to him in a hurry and said loudly, "Sir, We defeated the 41st Division, and the little devil fled to Ping'an County in desperation!"

Wu Chengfeng's voice trembled a little, and there was even a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Perhaps before this, they never dreamed that such a local miscellaneous armed force could defeat a reorganized division of the Japanese army, right?

"Good... good!"

Gao Hongming was also emotional. After this disastrous defeat, the 41st Division should no longer have the strength to attack Qixia Pass. That is to say, the Japanese will not have the energy to deal with him for at least ten days, half a month or even longer.

"correct!"

Gao Hongming suddenly remembered something, and asked Wu Chengfeng: "Have the statistics of the casualties of each unit, the consumption of weapons and ammunition been counted?"

"Not yet." Wu Chengfeng patted his head in distress, "Tuan Zuo, it's not that I don't do my duty, but I'm really not good at these things. Tuan Zuo, I think you have to hire a professional Chief of Staff."

"Chief of Staff, do you think I don't want to, but there must be someone who is willing to condescend to come to our small temple."

Gao Hongming said angrily, although the position of chief of staff may not be very impressive, it is no less important to an army than the military chief of the army.

His job responsibilities include:

Organize the collection and grasp of information related to military work, plan the military construction and military operations of the troops, and report and make suggestions to the chief officer.

Organize and formulate plans and plans for army building and military work, and organize relevant support.

Guide logistics and equipment work according to the needs of military construction and military operations.

Organize the review of military work-related funds, assigned weapons and equipment, and distribution plans for materials and equipment, and supervise and inspect the implementation, etc.

It can be said that with an excellent chief of staff, the military chief of the army can free up his hands from trivial matters and devote more energy to commanding operations.

In this regard, Germany is currently the best country, and the quality of German staff is recognized as the highest in the world.

However, Gao Hongming never expected to get a German staff officer, as long as there is an officer who graduated from Whampoa willing to be his chief of staff, he would be thankful.

However, he also knew the difficulty of this matter. The military officers who graduated from Whampoa were all disciples of the emperor, but any military officer who could graduate from there would not worry about having nothing to eat.

Who would leave a well-established Central Army inappropriately and go to a local militia to be the chief of staff? Isn't this sick?

Because of the lack of a chief of staff, Gao Hongming had to handle the training, statistics and other miscellaneous tasks of the troops himself. He was as tired as a dog. He had no choice but to deal with too many things every day.

Fortunately, a few days ago, he spent a lot of money to poach a few combat staff officers from the Jinsui Army, at least he shared some of the work, otherwise he might not even have time to sleep.

Now that Wu Chengfeng brought up the old story again, he drove all these people away impatiently and asked them to report the casualties of each battalion.

After dealing with these matters, Gao Hongming felt a burst of exhaustion. He found a corner and sat down. He lit a cigarette to refresh himself. I woke up with a sharp pain in my finger, only to find that the smoke had burned my finger.

Quickly threw the cigarette butt out, ran to the war room to wash his face, the cold water splashed on his face, and he became more energetic. He was about to find something to cushion his stomach, but he heard a noise coming from the front, as if Someone is cursing something.

Surprised, Gao Hongming walked out of the war room. Just as he was about to ask what happened, he saw Dabao running up in a hurry. After seeing Gao Hongming, he saluted and said, "Young master, someone in front has arrested two people who surrendered voluntarily." The devils are being taken prisoner, and the brothers are watching."

"Two captives?"

Gao Hongming was taken aback when he heard the words. It has been more than half a year since he came to this era, and he fought more than ten battles with the Japanese army. What's more, it is even rarer to surrender voluntarily.

"Hurry up, let them bring those two devils here, I want to see what the devils who will voluntarily surrender look like?"

Soon, two soldiers came to them pressing two Japanese prisoners.

"Reporting, sir, Zhao Huaiqing, squad leader of the second battalion, first company, third platoon, and first squadron of the Liantai militia, and private soldier Lu Xianping have been ordered to escort the prisoners. Please give instructions!"

The two who came were naturally Xiaoshan Shandong and his squad leader.

Gao Hongming looked at the two dust-covered soldiers and nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's very good that you captured two devils, and you have made a contribution. Now I can tell everyone how you captured these two men." ?"

The two of Xiaoshandong explained in detail how they got separated from the large army last night, how they met these two devils in the process of searching for the army, and then captured the two of them.

Finally, Xiaoshan Shandong said: "Originally, I thought that I should just kill the two devils, but the squad leader said, why die if they can survive, so I suppressed these two and came back. It was only when the two noble sons got too excited that they made such noise."

After all, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Gao Hongming laughed, "Okay... It's the first time for the brothers to see the captives, and they are a little curious. This is human nature."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the two captives, and found that they were only a first-class soldier and a second-class soldier. He shook his head in disappointment, and muttered, "It's just two small soldiers, it's useless."

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the senior soldier suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Excellency, we are useful...very useful...please don't kill us!"

Gao Hongming was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help laughing, "You, a small private, can actually speak Chinese, but your Chinese doesn't seem to be good enough. I'm not a general."

"No... In my heart, you are the general of Huaxia, and you also defeated the 41st Division. If you are not a general, who else can deserve this title?"

The people next to him were amused, but they didn't expect this little devil to be a sycophant.

Gao Hongming also couldn't help laughing: "You said please let me spare your life, but then you said, what use are you to me? You know, with me, people who are worthless are not worthy of living in this world. "

Although Gao Hongming said this with a smile, Ihara Heihachi would not naively think that the person in front of him is a good person with a kind heart.

He bowed deeply to Gao Hongming, and said in the most sincere tone: "Your Excellency, although I am only a humble senior soldier, I sincerely rely on you. And I also believe that you must have many Things need someone like me to do it for you.

As long as you give an order, I will do my best to do it for you, and you will also need a loyal dog like me. "
