march to victory

What are people most afraid of?

--despair!

Just like Ichiro Eguchi now.

To put it bluntly, I can only blame Eguchi Ichiro for being too clever, coupled with the education of militarism and the rigidity of the hierarchy, his way of thinking is a bit rigid, which is what we call being stubborn.He has always believed confidently: Although Sasaki's military rank is higher than his, but he was his right-hand man back then, so no matter where he goes, he should listen to him.

And Sasaki also did the same, but he was forced by Eguchi Ichiro too tightly, so he resisted under the desire to survive.

And Sasaki's resistance made Ichiro Eguchi feel desperate. At the same time, he finally understood: the assault group is obviously going to open a gap from Sasaki now, so they will definitely not give him another chance to get close to Sasaki. It is impossible to kill Sasaki and then commit suicide, so you just need to end your life: first, you can be loyal to the emperor; second, I hope to use my own death to remind Sasaki that as a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, he should have The jade broken spirit.

Moreover, Eguchi Ichiro understood better: Just now, because I was too impatient, when I was arguing with Sasaki, I was furious for a while, and I didn't have time to think about it, and I didn't have the same scruples as in the past.Now that I think about it carefully, at that time, when I was in a rush with Sasaki, I almost got out of the whole plan. Mu Youchun definitely heard it clearly, and afterward, he would definitely report it to the assault group as soon as possible.In other words, even if you want to commit suicide, you have to hurry up, otherwise, the assault group will definitely take measures to prevent yourself from committing suicide.At that time, I will really be disloyal to the emperor.

Fortunately, after the members of the assault group separated themselves from Sasaki, they sent someone to send him back to the room in the confinement yard... This was Eguchi Ichiro's last chance, because he hid a self-made weapon here, not It was intended to be used to escape, but was used to prepare for suicide, and has been hiding in this room—Ichiro Eguchi, like most little devils, believes that suicide by seppuku is the highest honor of death, and now he has this opportunity to get such a Honor, of course he didn't want to bang his head against the wall and jump into these ways of death which in his opinion were lowly.

In other words, not only did he have to commit suicide immediately, but he also had to commit suicide by harakiri. In this way, he felt that his method of suicide was perfect.

In desperation, Eguchi Ichiro first came to the window and looked outside, and saw that there was only one soldier standing outside the window as before.Maybe he saw him walk to the window, so the soldier deliberately retreated to the door, so that Eguchi Ichiro felt that he was not being watched.

Immediately, Eguchi Ichiro took out a two-finger-wide iron sheet about thirteen centimeters from under the table in the corner.

Eguchi Ichiro sang "Sakura no Hana" while kneeling at the table and took off his clothes.

Feeling that the light coming in from the window dimmed, he looked up and exchanged glances with the soldier outside. He didn't stop singing, but just smiled at the soldier, smiling cheerfully, even a little strange.It's just that the soldier shrank back a little embarrassed when he saw his peeping was spotted by Ichiro Eguchi on the spot, so he didn't notice the strangeness in Ichiro Eguchi's eyes, let alone the resolute determination in Ichiro Eguchi's expression.

When the soldier left the window, Ichiro Eguchi's singing didn't stop, and even his whole movements seemed orderly and calm.

Use a dagger to cut two strips of cloth, one wide and one narrow, from the white underwear.

He cut a small cut on his right index finger with a dagger, and dripped blood onto the much narrower strip of cloth, quickly forming an irregular red oval.

Tie the narrow cloth strips on the head, and the red oval is tied just in front of the forehead.

Then, Ichiro Eguchi tied a wider strip of cloth around his stomach.

His singing voice became louder and louder, and although his eyes became more determined, his expression became more and more sad.

Finally, he grabbed the dagger with both hands and thrust it into his stomach.A painful expression immediately appeared on his face, but he still endured the pain and slashed the dagger inserted into his abdomen to the right...

"what!"

The singing stopped, replaced by screams of pain.

In the eyes of the little devil, seppuku suicide is a sacred ritual, which cannot be done by one person, and several assistants are needed: witnesses, beheaders, splicers...even some solemn occasions, and some People sang beside.

To be fair, Ichiro Eguchi can do this under the current conditions, which is really good. Unfortunately, he is just an ideal type of little person. He never thought that committing seppuku is so painful... To be fair, committing seppuku is indeed Courage is needed, but the problem is that there is a tricky method for suicide: when committing seppuku, there is usually a beheader standing by to prepare, in order to wait for the suicide to cut open the stomach and cut off the intestines or viscera, before the huge pain has completely made the suicide show all kinds of embarrassing things caused by the great pain, and before the ritual is insulted, the suicide will be cut off with a knife very quickly, thus It makes people feel how fearless this suicide is, and he can die so peacefully.

However, the beheader was missing from Ichiro Eguchi's side, and he chopped off his head before he couldn't bear the great pain, so he was tragic and ashamed.

Everything he did before, in line with the ritual, or the process of facing death with a calm and righteous attitude, all disappeared after he uttered that loud scream.

The soldier at the door was startled when he heard the scream, and rushed to the window to see what was going on in the room: I saw Ichiro Eguchi covering his stomach with his left hand and holding the dagger in his right, rolling all over the ground in pain. It was called again and again, the blood flowed continuously, and accompanied by Ichiro Eguchi's rolling all over the ground, and the blood flowed everywhere.

The soldiers at the door turned pale with fright, and hurriedly opened the lock while calling other comrades to help.

When the three soldiers rushed in to see, it happened that Eguchi Ichiro was in the most pain, tears and snot all flowed out, but he still couldn't help screaming.

A soldier wanted to pull out the dagger in a hurry, but was grabbed by an experienced veteran beside him: "I can't pull it out! Once he pulls it out, he will die."

Then he took off his shirt and put it on Eguchi Ichiro's stomach, trying to stop the bleeding, but said to another soldier: "Go to the regiment headquarters quickly and report this to the political commissar..."

Then he turned his head and said to the soldier who was about to pull out the dagger: "What are you still doing, go and call the medical soldiers to rescue him."

After Zhang Qingshan washed, while he was waiting for Xiang Xueqin to bring him breakfast, he was really worried about Ichiro Eguchi, fearing that he would do something stupid, so he opened the door and wanted to chat with Ichiro Eguchi... although he couldn't understand Japanese , but as long as you look at Eguchi Ichiro and don't let him do stupid things, and then wait for Mu Youchun to arrive, you will be doing your best, right?

But as soon as his hand touched the door bolt, he heard Eguchi Ichiro's first scream.

Zhang Qingshan secretly said "Not good!", hurriedly opened the door and rushed over, almost colliding with the two soldiers who rushed out.

Just at this time, Hu Yingze heard Zhou Baoyu's report, and took Mu Youchun and others to the gate.And Xiang Xueqin also happened to bring a small basket to deliver food to Zhang Qingshan.They all heard Eguchi Ichiro's screams and rushed over to check the situation.

Xiang Xueqin saw Zhang Qingshan and a soldier, one was using clothes to block the blood of Eguchi Ichiro, and the other was frantically stuffing Eguchi Ichiro's intestines back... Anyway, it was a mess.

But Eguchi Ichiro really wanted to die, the cut was not only deep, but the opening was also wide, like a salamander, even the severed intestines flowed out, and the blood couldn't be blocked at all.The clothes were already soaked in blood.

Xiang Xueqin was an old nurse, and she frowned when she saw the situation.

As soon as he put the small basket in his hand on the hand of the guard next to Hu Yingze, he walked over quickly.

At this time, Eguchi Ichiro probably lost too much blood and felt less pain, instead he didn't scream loudly, he only hummed a few times to show that his vitality was still tenacious and alive, but his complexion had turned gray and blue.It's just that there is still light in his eyes, which means that he is still alive, but everyone can tell from the dim light in his eyes that this guy can't survive, and now he can only do his best.

She glanced at Xueqin's face, then rolled his eyelids with her hand, and after looking at it, she slightly removed the bloody coat that was blocking his stomach...

Just when she rolled Eguchi Ichiro's eyelids, Eguchi Ichiro seemed to be returning to the light, and he said a very long sentence softly in pain.

Mu Youchun immediately translated: "He begs you, either save him or kill him, he is really in pain."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Eguchi Ichiro's face. They never expected that this guy who dared to commit suicide by harakiri would regret it because of his pain. Everyone didn't know what to say: have the courage to commit suicide in this way , It really takes courage, but you should stick to it anyway!What's the matter with calling for help halfway?

In the next second, everyone's eyes turned to Xiang Xueqin: Although everyone knows that there is little hope of rescuing Eguchi Ichiro, as long as there is hope, they will not give up. After all, this guy is the first time the assault group captured him. One of the devils, the value is great, and it is not good to die.

After Xiang Xueqin checked Ichiro Eguchi, she stood up, shook her head to everyone, and said, "I lost a lot of blood, and my intestines were broken. Now even if I perform an operation immediately, I can't save it."

I don't know if he understood Xiang Xueqin's words, or he couldn't hold on any longer. As soon as Xiang Xueqin's words fell, Eguchi Ichiro tilted his head, and the luster in his eyes quickly dissipated—dead.

Looking at Eguchi Ichiro's body, Zhang Qingshan stood up, pointed to the dagger on Eguchi Ichiro's stomach and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Several soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, all lowered their heads, and finally, the veteran replied: "Regimental Commander, we don't know..."

Under Zhang Qingshan's glaring gaze, he didn't dare to continue.

"Old Zhang, calm down, I believe our soldiers... As for this thing, I'm afraid Sasaki will know something." Hu Yingze understood that the most urgent task now is definitely not to trace the origin of this self-made dagger, but...
