Chapter 220 Don't pretend, I'm going to showdown

After hearing the answers from Mukai Akitoshi and Noda Takeshi, Ma Chao showed a look of approval on his face very cooperatively, then looked at the watch on his hand by the moonlight, and said to them: "It's almost time, let's go The head of the division is still waiting for us." After that, Ma Chao stood up and continued walking along the road, while Mukai Aketoshi and Noda Takeshi still followed Ma Chao and walked forward.

As they walked, Mukai Akitoshi and Noda Takeshi found that they had walked from the city to the Zijin Mountain area.This discovery made the two really puzzled.Although the No.16 division did invade the city of Nanjing from the Zijin Mountain area, the headquarters of the division has already moved from the Zijin Mountain area to the city after completely occupying Nanjing, so what is it doing to return to the Zijin Mountain now? ?

"Excuse me, sir, aren't we going to see His Excellency the Division Chief? Then why are we going inside the Zijin Mountain?" Noda Takeshi took two steps forward and asked Ma Chao the reason very puzzled.

"Huh, Noda Takeshi, if you want to die, I will help you! You will know what you should know, and don't ask more questions if you don't know!!!" After hearing Noda Takeshi's question, Ma Chao stopped immediately. After stepping down, he just turned his head backwards, forming an angle with his shoulders, which happened to only reveal the space for his eyes, staring firmly at Noda Takeshi who was in front of him.With a murderous mouth, he warned Noda Takeshi not to inquire about things indiscriminately.Then, like just now, he walked unhurriedly along the mountain road around Zijin Mountain.

Noda Takeshi immediately broke out in cold sweat after receiving Ma Chao's murderous warning.In the army, it is a taboo to inquire about senior officers at will!Especially the top military officers at the division commander level. To put it bluntly, based on Noda Takeshi's question just now, there would be no problem if he was shot directly.

After Ma Chao's warning, Noda Takeshi and Mukai Akitoshi immediately closed their mouths, followed quietly, and continued to move forward with Ma Chao.

After walking for a while, Ma Chao suddenly said: "Actually, it was the commander's intention to bring you here. You should remember how hard we fought here when we attacked here. How much we have paid It took a high price to break through the defense here."

"Besides, it is impossible for the head of the division at the command headquarters to tell you about your mission. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will inevitably be controversial. Originally, the head of the division was angry because he hadn't broken through the defense line of Zijin Mountain before. It is reproachable, if this kind of rivalry with the friendly army is reported, the pressure on the division commander will probably be even greater. And our entire division will inevitably be greatly affected."

After hearing Ma Chao's explanation, the anxious two who followed immediately understood their ignorance, apologized for their behavior just now, and said that they would never make such a mistake again.

And Ma Chao secretly laughed in his heart, just these two mindless people deserved not to survive tonight!
Soon, the three arrived at their destination.This place is next to a cliff, and not far away, there is a corpse of a national army who has been dead for a long time, crawling there quietly.

When defending Nanjing, the Central Teaching Corps of the troops stationed on the Zijin Mountain line of defense, this is the most elite German weapon model unit in the Chinese army.After experiencing the Battle of Songhu, they did not get enough time to rest, so they were deployed here again to resist the joint attack of the Japanese Ninth Division and No.16 Division.

The main defensive task is to teach the first brigade and the third brigade of the corps, about 7000 people.What they had to resist was the Japanese army with a total strength of [-]. The large-scale battle lasted for four days. After knowing the slope of Nanjing, the Japanese army successfully broke through the defense line here and achieved the goal of entering Nanjing.But for a long time after that, the sound of guns and cannons continued to come from Zijin Mountain, which meant that the Zijin Mountain defense line had not been completely occupied by the Japanese army!

Later, it was written in the battle report of the Ninth Division that a total of more than 830 corpses were found on the national defense line in the Zijin Mountain area. In addition to the missing soldiers, except for a few lucky officers and soldiers who were able to Escape from birth, teach the third brigade and the seventh brigade of the corps, it can be said that whoever is wiped out.

·······························································
"Did you see that Chinese soldier? Do you have anything to say?" Ma Chao pointed to the stiff corpse and asked Noda Takeshi and Mukai Aketoshi.

"Sir, there is nothing to say." The two replied.

"You guys don't have anything to say, so just listen to me." Ma Chao walked up slowly, squatted beside the corpse, and carefully cleaned his immature face covered with blood and gunpowder smoke. Said.

"This soldier, if I remember correctly, his name is Wang Dashan. He is only 17 years old this year, but he is already a veteran. He is the youngest one in the Central National Government's Teaching Corps. He was chatting in Nanjing before. When the war was over, he told me that he hoped to be able to go to school after the war. I told him at the time, let him follow me, and I will teach him. But he said that he could not Abandoning his comrades-in-arms, even if the comrades around him are persuading him to leave with me. However, he still stubbornly stayed and finally died here."

Hearing this, Akitoshi Mukai and Takeshi Noda could tell that something was wrong no matter how stupid they were.Originally, it was inconceivable to be called here in the middle of the night to meet the head of the division, Nakajima Kezago, but Ma Chao’s explanation was reasonable, and their rank was indeed too low, so they didn’t understand Nakajima Kezago Because of the specific situation, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being, and continue to act according to Ma Chao's orders.

Although in the Japanese army, the situation of Xia Keshang is very common, but if you have to understand it in detail, you will know that the main planners of the three major Japanese Xia Keshang incidents are officers of the rank of assistant officials.For example, Kanji Ishihara and Seishiro Itagaki, who were the main planners of the September [-]th Incident, were nothing more than lieutenants and chiefs at the time.Because the class of the assistant officer happens to be the actual controller of the troops, therefore, the deterrent effect of the assistant officer in the Japanese army is quite great.

That's why the two low-level officers, Akitoshi Mukai and Takeshi Noda, were so honest when facing Ma Chao, a false major.
