my bright sword career

Chapter 179 Someone is coming
The garrison at Qianqiu Bridge has only one team, and the team leader, Kono Jiro, is a second lieutenant who has served for the second time. A considerable part of the dozens of people under his command are soldiers in the countryside like him.

Here I want to explain that the so-called soldiers in the countryside are soldiers who have been re-conscripted after retiring.

Since these soldiers have lived the lives of ordinary people for quite a period of time after retiring and returning home, and many of them have even married and had children, so whether it is fighting will or tactical skills, they are incomparable with active-duty soldiers.

Troops composed of soldiers in the countryside are classified as Category C troops, and usually do not directly participate in front-line battles, but serve as guards and guards in the rear.

Kono Jiro, who lived in a separate small room on the top floor of the bunker, stretched and got up from the hard plank bed. Wearing slippers, he came to the wooden barrel in the corner, unfastened his trousers, and unloaded the goods he had stored overnight. With the excretion of urine, a strong smell of urine filled the air.

Kono Jiro frowned, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Although it has been more than two months since he came to Huaxia, he has retired for many years and is still not used to the current life.

There is no independent bathroom, no delicious meals cooked by his wife, and he misses his six-year-old son. Almost every time Kono Jiro misses his family, he has the urge to abandon everything and flee back to his hometown.

But he can only think about it. He has been in the army for many years and he knows the strict military discipline of Japan. Not to mention that he is far away in China, and there is no way to escape back to Japan across the sea. Even if he escapes to his hometown by chance, I am afraid It would take less than a day for him to be captured by the police station. At that time, he would certainly be dead, and his family would also be implicated.

"Your Excellency Kono, breakfast is ready, please have your meal below." After Kono Jiro finished washing, a voice sounded outside the door.

"I see, I'll go down immediately." Kono replied lazily, put away the toothbrush and mug, dressed slowly, and then went downstairs slowly.

When he sat down, the cook brought his food and put it in front of him.

He fixed his eyes and frowned. In front of him was a bowl of multigrain rice, a bowl of miso soup, and a small dish of pickles made of radish, and there was nothing else.

Seeing the miscellaneous grain rice in front of him, Kono Jiro immediately lost his appetite. This kind of food mixed with several kinds of low-quality grains such as sorghum, corn, rice, and corn, let alone eat it, the taste alone is very pungent .

"God Amaterasu...it's this kind of junk food again." Kono couldn't help but lamented: "I don't ask how good the food is, don't you even have white rice?"

"I'm really sorry." The cook hurriedly bowed and apologized, "Originally, the food was supposed to be delivered the day before yesterday, but during this period of time, the Eighth Route Army in China launched a Hundred Regiments War in Shanxi, and all the food and supplies originally distributed to us were dispatched to Shanxi. So we can eat these ourselves."

"These bastards."

Kono Jiro was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he also knew that he was just a small second lieutenant, and he also belonged to the garrison, which was the bottom of the army. Of course, his treatment could not be compared with that of the main force.

Feeling very upset, he waved his hand, and the cook left quickly.

Kono picked up the bowl and took a sip of the rice, then drank the flavor soup, and finally finished the bowl of rice with pickles.

"I'm really fed up with such days." After eating, Kono Jiro sat on the stool thinking about things, he stretched out his hand to invite a Cao Chang: "Takagi-san, after dinner later, we might as well take someone to a nearby restaurant. Take a look around the village and buy some grain or meat from those Chinese people, what do you think?"

This Cao Chang immediately understood what Kono meant. What he said to buy was indeed literal, but what he used to buy things was neither Chinese legal currency, silver dollars, or Japanese yen, but military tickets.

Let's put it this way, since there is no security deposit as an exchange support when the military ticket is issued, and there is no specific issuing office, the military ticket cannot be exchanged for Japanese yen.It can be seen from this that military tickets are used by the Japanese government as a means of dominating the economy of the occupied territories.

In addition to the military tickets issued by the Japanese government, as the war continued and Japan’s finances further dried up, the Japanese army itself secretly printed military tickets, and even distributed military tickets to Japanese soldiers as military pay.

Of course, the Japanese soldiers will not keep this kind of waste paper that is too hard to wipe their buttocks. They can only spend it as soon as possible. I don't know how much wealth and supplies China has plundered.

The Cao chief nodded after hearing what Kono Jiro said: "I will take a dozen people to accompany you to the nearby villages later, and buy whatever you like."

"Yo Xi!"

Kono Jiro nodded, habitually reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette case, only to find that the case was already empty, and now he was even more upset, and stood up abruptly, "No Takagi-kun, immediately Gather your team, we're leaving now."

"Hi!"

Just as Cao Chang nodded, a soldier hurried over from outside, "Your Excellency, the sentinel on the other side of the bridge reported that an imperial army is coming from the opposite side, and the leader is a major, saying that he has something important to go to SJZ."

"Go to SJZ?" Kono Jiro asked suspiciously: "Did they say which team they are in?"

"Tell me, they are members of the 41st Division and were ordered to go to SJZ for business."

"The 41nd Division?"

Kono Jiro seemed a little familiar when he heard this, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Your Excellency, Captain, shall we let him come?" asked the soldier.

"You idiot, do you still want to stop him if you don't let him in?" Kono yelled, this idiot has no eyesight at all, no wonder he is still a second-class soldier after serving for the second time, the other party is a majestic major, we provoked him started?
"Hurry up, tell the sentry on the opposite side to rest assured, or I won't be able to save them if Your Excellency Major gets angry!"

"Hi!" The soldier hurried out.

Soon, there was a roar from the opposite side. A three-wheeled electric donkey led the way, followed by two Nissan 180 trucks, and soon came to the opposite side of the bridge, and stopped in front of the bunker. Two officers pushed the driver's cab The door went down.

Kono Jiro, who had already been waiting at the bridge head, hurried up to meet him, and bowed deeply to the leader of the major, "Your Excellency, welcome to come! Please forgive me for having a humble job, please show your ID."

The major took out his ID and handed it over.

Kono Jiro took the ID with both hands and checked it. After finding that there was no problem, he returned the ID to the other party, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. I don't know whether you should go directly to SJZ or rest here before going on the road."

"My soldiers have been driving for half a day, and they are already very tired. They want to take a rest here, so hurry up and get something to eat for them to fill their stomachs."
