march to victory

"I know, I finally know..."

As soon as Mu Youchun pushed open the door, his face was filled with ecstasy, but he still restrained himself and lowered his voice, shouting: "You will never think of it, you will never think of it..."

"Keep your voice down." Chen Xin hurriedly said as he quickly closed the door: "How can I let these two little devils hear me?"

Mu Youchun chuckled, but he was still in ecstasy, with a little bit of complacency.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Qingshan and the others naturally knew that Mu Youchun must have heard some great information, otherwise, with Mu Youchun's cautious character, he would never dare to lose his composure in front of them .

"Sit down quickly." Tian Guozhong quickly pulled him to the chair by the table, and when Mu Youchun sat down, he poured a glass of water for Mu Youchun and said with a smile: "Don't worry, speak slowly, be careful." Yes, we have plenty of time."

Hu Yingze at the side also handed him a cigarette and lit it for him himself, which made Mu Youchun a little flattered.

And although Zhang Qingshan was sitting across the table, doing nothing, he said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Youchun, I knew that you would definitely make great contributions. Tell everyone, what good news did you hear?"

He can be desperate for money, and even dare to be a traitor. He is lucky to be flattered by Zhang Qingshan.

It's no wonder that Mu Youchun was so excited, the information he obtained was indeed of great value.

To sum up, there are three main points.

Almost everyone who has been in contact with Eguchi Ichiro and Sasaki will think that Eguchi Ichiro's official position is definitely higher than Sasaki's. Even if the two are ordinary soldiers, then Eguchi Ichiro's qualifications are definitely higher than Sasaki's.Because Sasaki is a reckless man at first glance, and Eguchi Ichiro obviously has a lot more scheming.

But the real situation surprised Zhang Qingshan and the others: why Sasaki was a corps commander, while Eguchi Ichiro was just a private. Judging from the official positions of the Japanese army, Sasaki was actually much higher than Eguchi Ichiro... It can be understood after careful consideration: the Japanese army China has conquered cities and territories all the way, and has almost never lost a battle.At this time, there are not many places to show the ability and quality of grassroots officers, and everyone just needs to obey the orders of their superiors.In this case, a reckless man like Sasaki is much more popular than a scheming man like Eguchi Ichiro.In addition, Sasaki wants to join the army than Eguchi Ichiro, so at this time, Sasaki's official position is higher than Eguchi Ichiro's, which is normal.

And through the contact with the two little devils during this period of time, everyone can see that Mu Youchun also confirmed this point: it is obvious that Ichiro Eguchi is leading Sasaki now.It's not that the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy. No matter what time it is, the subordinates will absolutely obey the superiors.Then, why did Sasaki listen to Eguchi Ichiro's words like this inconceivable question?

If you want to get a reasonable answer to such a question, you can only give an answer after you have an in-depth understanding of Japanese society.Fortunately, Mu Youchun has lived in Japan for three years, and the standard of living is not high, so he happened to come into contact with and deeply understand the appearance of this seemingly abnormal situation, but it is actually a manifestation of Japanese society.

It is very troublesome to explain. I will tell a true story recorded in the Japanese army archives, and everyone will understand it after hearing it.

Yamamoto 56 once inspected the military camp, and accidentally discovered that a chief Cao was fanning a soldier, as if his subordinates were serving the boss.This surprised Yamamoto56.It was only later that I learned that Cao Chang joined the Japanese underworld before joining the army, and that soldier happened to be the leader of Cao Chang during his time in the underworld... In this regard, Yamamoto 56 has made great efforts to curb this phenomenon, because he felt that, The situation outside belongs to the outside, and the strict system of officers should be observed in the barracks.However, in the end, it was clearly opposed by many people, and Yamamoto 56 also had to return home in defeat.

Hearing such an explanation and story, all the people present were stunned, but they couldn't understand it.Think about it, if such a thing dared to happen in China, no matter whose army, especially the warlords, I am afraid it would have been pulled out and shot.

The second point, these two guys actually want to escape.The reason turned out to be that the assault regiment treated them too favorably, which gave them an illusion: they felt that the Japanese army was strong and the Chinese were weak. Even if they were accidentally taken as prisoners, they would not dare to do anything to them.The best proof is the preferential treatment given to the two of them in life. Meals are served with wine and meat, and torture was never used on them.

Moreover, they believed that although this place was the headquarters of the assault regiment, the defense was loose, which was conducive to their escape.The reason why the two of them felt that their escape was more certain was that not only were there only a few guards guarding them, but they were actually allowed to walk around in the small yard—this was not a release in the prison, but a prison guard. You can come out to the small yard anytime and anywhere.This seems a little unbelievable to them. You must know that in their minds, once they catch a Chinese, they either kill them directly, or they kill them after using them.And once a valuable prisoner is caught, they will be tortured severely. How can they be served with such good wine and meat, and they can move around at any time?

However, on the day they were preparing to act, Zhang Qingshan moved in by mistake, which frightened them both, and their escape plan was interrupted.However, it was only temporarily stranded, because the two of them began to plan to escape again.The main reason is that they think that the commando group has lost patience with them. This can be seen from the interrogation of the two of them in different ways in the past few days. At that time, you will really be served by leather whips and tiger stools. At that time, it is really hard to say whether you can hold it. Instead of this, it is better to give it a go.

What's more interesting is that they actually had a dispute over whether to kidnap Zhang Qingshan when they escaped: Sasaki thought that he should not be kidnapped, and felt that Zhang Qingshan had been censored and treated much worse than the two of them—mainly the two of them Meals drink wine and eat meat, but Zhang Qingshan always eats sweet potato and pumpkin soup.Therefore, Sasaki believes that Zhang Qingshan has lost the value of being a hostage.To kidnap him, I'm afraid it will scare the snake, or it will be exposed in advance.

But Eguchi Ichiro thought that Zhang Qingshan came with a purpose, and was sent to them on purpose, so Zhang Qingshan's value still exists.

In the end, the two of them were arguing so vigorously about this, that the time to escape became undetermined.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan looked helplessly at the few people around him, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

The third point is the most important and the most interesting.

As I said before, little devils have been influenced by the spirit of bushido since they were young, and then they have been brainwashed by militarism for a long time. Therefore, once they fail, they like to commit seppuku.

But why didn't these two little devils commit suicide?

The answer is very surprising.

As a soldier, Eguchi Ichiro wanted to commit suicide very much, but he was worried that Sasaki was alive, so he wanted to force Sasaki to commit suicide with him.Because he always felt that Sasaki's willpower was not as good as his own, and he was afraid that after he committed suicide, Sasaki would really surrender.For this reason, he even abandoned seppuku suicide, which is regarded as a samurai's honor, and chose to let Sasaki burn the house with him to be buried in the fire... In his opinion, he was so forced to choose to burn his own body Although the behavior insults the honor of the samurai's suicide method, it can not only be loyal to the emperor, but also keep the secrets of the Japanese army. It is the greatest loyalty to the emperor, and it is worthy of the honor of the samurai.From a personal point of view, he felt that he was not harming Sasaki when he died with Sasaki, but was helping Sasaki, helping Sasaki maintain the honor of the samurai, and even safeguarding Sasaki's reputation.For this reason, he firmly believes that Sasaki will not only not blame himself, but will be more grateful to himself—in fact, Sasaki really thinks so. Instead of blaming Eguchi Ichiro, he is also very grateful for his help, even if this help is with him. die.This kind of behavior is contrary to the traditional Chinese concept and human nature, but it was taken for granted in all aspects of Japanese society at that time, and it is worthy of gratitude.In this regard, everyone can only admire how deeply militaristic brainwashing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and thoroughly.

And Sasaki really didn't want to die, because he still had his mother who was getting worse and his health was getting worse and his younger brothers and sisters.Every time he thinks of these things, he feels pain in his heart.But, on the other hand, if he didn't commit suicide, he would be sorry for the emperor, and he would bring great shame to his samurai honor... So, he hesitated, and finally, he simply wanted to use strong alcohol to numb himself and escape from this situation. A cruel and tortured reality.

It was precisely because of Sasaki's hesitation that Eguchi Ichiro would take the next best thing and thought of running away, and because the assault group had begun to interrogate them these days, which deepened Eguchi Ichiro's worries, he would He proposed again, to escape as soon as possible...Of course, although Mu Youchun didn't hear the two of them discussing how to deal with it if they failed to escape.However, from the point of view of these two little devils, it is almost certain that they will not be able to escape, and they are likely to commit suicide.Moreover, it is even more conceivable that at that time, even if Sasaki didn't want to commit suicide, he would be forced to die with Eguchi Ichiro helplessly.

Although a small part of these three big questions were guessed by Mu Youchun in private, most of them were heard by him with his own ears, so the authenticity and predictability are very high.In other words, the assault group must respond immediately, otherwise, although the final result is unpredictable, it is definitely not what the assault group wants to see-only if the two little devils really cooperate and cooperate, it will not only reflect the surprise of the assault group. The ability, but also how to make more little devils captives sincerely cooperate in the future, and set a due example and the way to deal with it.

It's imminent!

Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said sternly, "No matter what solution we discuss next, I think the two little devils must be separated first..."
