Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 886

Chapter 886 Each has his or her own choice

The east gate of Licheng County!

Nagano Yuao looked at every Chinese who came in and out of the city gate with burning eyes. Behind him were more than a dozen soldiers with live ammunition in the sandbag fortifications on both sides of the city gate. And in the fortifications at the top of the city wall, there was a gun that had already been fired. Taisho 11 young machine gun with loaded magazine and two machine gunners.

From then on, Chinese people passing by looked at the dark muzzles of guns and the solemn-looking Japanese soldiers, and instinctively showed fear and stayed away a little.

Nagano Yuo was in a trance as he watched a patched-up woman with a gray face leading a three-year-old child hurriedly past him.

In one month, it will be his fifth year in the army. From a 17-year-old boy to a 23-year-old youth now, he has spent almost a quarter of his life in the army and is considered a veteran.

If he had been in his hometown and nothing unexpected happened, he would be the father of a 2-year-old child by now!

Thinking of this, Nagano Yuuo felt inexplicably worried. Hideko, who had already made a private life with him, had not received any letters since he came to China. He wondered if something had happened, and his face could not help but darken.

"Nagano Tai-kun, have you fallen in love with this woman?" A Chinese man next to him, wearing a jacket and a shell gun, had a flattering smile on his face and whispered into Yuio Nagano's ear.

A look of displeasure appeared on Nagano Yuuo's face!

The man next to me is one of the Chinese who took the initiative to surrender when the brigade entered Licheng County half a month ago. In the parlance of the imperial army, this is a surrender and a friend of the empire. The Chinese are more direct. , traitor!

China is too big and the Japanese alone cannot manage it anyway. They need the help of surrendered Chinese people. This concept came about after Nagano Yuuo set foot on the land of northern China.

The empire's hundreds of thousands of troops spent half a year occupying a vast area several times the size of Japan. As a result, rumors among the military said that this was only one-tenth of China's size. This was really something that impressed Nagano Yu. At this rate, how long will it take to end this war completely?

However, the war is far away, and it has nothing to do with his dislike of the so-called 'friend of the Empire' next to him. The Japanese nation has always admired heroes. Although the man next to him and his companions surrendered to and helped the Empire, they Having betrayed the interests of his motherland, Sergeant Nagano Yuao instinctively loathed him.

But for this disgusting man, even Nagano Yuuo couldn't express his disgust clearly on his face.

Because this man is the youngest son of the richest man in Licheng County, and when the imperial army entered the city, the richest man not only contributed his sturdy and beautifully decorated house as the brigade headquarters, but also provided a large amount of money. With the help of Lao Jun, he also adapted his private guard into the Licheng County Security Brigade to maintain order in the city. Lieutenant Colonel Qi Liang valued him very much. He not only appointed him as the captain of the Licheng County Security Brigade, but also guaranteed his personal security. Industrial security.

After entering 1938, as the war in North China progressed smoothly, the North China Front Army Headquarters also promulgated some new internal regulations. Without special reasons, destructive killings in occupied counties were not allowed.

Not because of pity for life, but as the war progressed, the empire's local economic consumption was too great. The imperial economic department criticized the imperial army's behavior of only consuming but not producing, and the front army headquarters suffered too much pressure. , so they had to temporarily guard the butcher's knife and maintain the normal economy in the occupied city.

Only in this way can there be output, tax revenue, and feedback to the empire!

This is also the main reason why since the Sixth Infantry Brigade of the Xiayuan Infantry Brigade entered Licheng, it spent three days conducting a comprehensive screening of the residents in the city and then fully allowed normal access to the city gates.

However, an infantry squad was stationed at each of the four city gates for entry and exit, and the gates were inspected in shifts from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to prevent enemies from sneaking into the city and causing trouble.

Although the top commander in the city, Lieutenant Colonel Ryo Saki of the 6th Infantry Battalion, believes that this possibility is extremely low.

The reason is very simple. With the capture of Dongyang Pass in the northeast of the county, the highway from HD to Changzhi has been fully opened. All the counties along the way have been occupied and connected. Any Chinese troops who want to harass will be defended by a county garrison. With the support of the other two counties, the Chinese do not have more than 10,000 troops, so I am afraid they do not have the courage.

As for the mobilization of more than 10,000 troops, is the empire's intelligence agency a fool? Or is it that all the eyeliner outside the city is in vain?

Licheng County has a history of more than two thousand years. This is a long time that makes almost all Japanese people numb. In 221 BC, Japan was still a primitive society, and the patriarchal society had just replaced the matriarchal society. At that time, Japan was in a semi-ancient state, also known as the "Yayoi period". At this time, Japan had just learned to grow rice and use copper and iron.

Pushing forward the time for more than a thousand years, we arrived at the Warring States Period, which is well known to Japan and Asia. However, compared to the war that broke out in 500 BC between ancient Greece and Persia in the West, with hundreds of thousands of troops, look at China again. When the Border Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, both sides engaged in a battle involving nearly a million people. The so-called Warring States Period in Japan was just a fight between a few small villages.

Why do the Japanese like beautiful Chinese people in the end? Even if they are hit with big fat bombs by beautiful Chinese people, does it feel like they have the same problem as beautiful Chinese people? We two brothers have no history in football. We are holding hands and side by side without looking at each other. Do you hope it will come true in the future?

It doesn't matter how many years Licheng was built. What's important is that the walls of Licheng, a mountain city, are high enough and thick enough!

Perhaps it was just out of the cold weapon era, or maybe the mountains are high and there are many bandits. To prevent bandits, the city wall of Licheng County is even more complete than many large cities on the North China Plain. The vertical height of the city wall is nearly 4 meters. , the width is more than 3 meters, and it can even reach the city wall through a Type 94 tank on the **** in the city.

It was precisely with the protection of such a city wall that Colonel Saki was confident that even if the Chinese had an infantry brigade to attack, he and the Sixth Infantry Brigade would be able to hold on to Lucheng and Shecheng for reinforcements.

The supreme commander may think so, but Nagano Yuuo remains cautious as always. The lieutenant colonel can hide in that strong house when a war is approaching, but he, the sergeant who leads 14 soldiers, cannot.

Otherwise, he, the squad leader, is enough to sit in the fortifications, drink a few sips of tea and smoke freshly issued cigarettes, so he still needs to personally supervise at the city gate?

At a time like this, it was even less likely that he would be interested in a Chinese woman with a dusty face and a body covered in rags. Although he also knew that if the dusty face was washed clean, she should still be pretty, but Can that compare to his show?

"Wang Sang, please do not talk about military-related matters while performing military duties!" Nagano Yuao turned his attention back to the Chinese civilians who were queuing up for inspection over there.

Feeling the coldness of the Japanese sergeant next to him, the separated man felt a little resentful and secretly complained that the guy in front of him was ignorant of current affairs!

He is just a young sergeant. If his father hadn't sternly warned him that he must have good relations with all Japanese, which is related to the life and death of the entire family, why would the young master of his dignified Wang family come to the city gate to work as a gatekeeper? ?

Then, Nagano Yuuo's eyes narrowed, and he saw a young Chinese Taoist priest wearing a worn-out robe and carrying a wooden box on his back.

The little Taoist priest must have completed all the inspections and just carried his wooden box on his back.

It's just that this is not a prosperous big city. What is this little Taoist doing here? Nagano Yuao instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“Yours, come here!” Nagano Yuu pointed at the little Taoist priest who was obviously nervous.

Being pointed at like this, the little Taoist priest's face instantly turned pale, and his body trembled involuntarily, which made Nagano Yuio feel more relaxed.

In front of imperial soldiers, this is the most normal reaction for Chinese people, especially to such a boy who looks like he is no more than a teenager.

“Where do you come from and why are you here?” Of course Nagano Yuuo's Chinese was not proficient enough. After jabbering, he looked at Wang Changshou!

Wang Changshou is a weakling, but he still has a certain talent for languages. In just half a month, he can actually speak basic Japanese. Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to work as a translator at the city gate. "I was ordered by my master to travel down the mountain, and my home is all over the world!" The little Taoist reluctantly bowed, the fear on his face not changing, but his eyes still clear.

This look made Nagano Yuuo, who had heard the translation, feel a little unhappy.

He marched along the way, and the Chinese he met were all fearless. The Chinese who dared to look at with the imperial army were either kneeling down slightly under the muzzle, or because of this stubbornness, becoming a prey under the gun of the imperial soldiers.

Will this little Chinese Taoist priest be the former or the latter? Nagano Yuu couldn't help but licked his lips, and a cold and cruel smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

"Wang Sang, help me tell him that I believe in Buddhism, not some messy Taoism. Don't answer with such vague reasons. Just answer me honestly, where do you come from and where do you go? If there is any What you concealed is dead!”

After listening to the translation, the little Taoist finally showed fear in his eyes, and his thin shoulders began to tremble. The people around him also cast fearful glances at him.

The young Taoist priest looked like a wandering Taoist at first glance. He either relied on fortune telling or charity from believers. If he died because of the Japanese, that would be something that all kind-hearted Chinese civilians would not want to see.

However, looking at the black muzzles protruding from the sandbags on both sides of the city gate, no one dared to go up and speak. They could only cast disdainful eyes on Wang Changshou, who was loyally working for the Japanese.

In the past, when Wang Changshou wandered around the land of fireworks, the people in Licheng just regarded him as a swinger. Unexpectedly, now the whole family has become a disgusting traitor and lackey of the Japanese.

Now Wang Changshou couldn't bear it anymore.

The traitor is a very strange creature. He wants others to be afraid of him, but he also wants others to respect him. From a psychological point of view, it is a psychology that the more something is lacking, the more it wants.

In the early days, many traitors hoped to use the excuse of protecting their neighbors as a cover-up for being dogs. Later, they were despised more, and instead they were broken. Since they are not respected, I will be scared when you see me. The cruelty against their own compatriots is even worse than that of the Japanese invaders. This is the counterproductive effect of the failure of this demand psychology.

Wang Changshou, who had just become a traitor, obviously still had this psychological need to be respected. Therefore, after the young Taoist priest once again repeated the reason of "traveling down the mountain and being home all over the world", he actually helped the young Taoist priest to fool the Japanese for the first time.

"Nagano Taijun, the little Taoist priest said that he came from southern Shanxi and came to this mountain to escape the war. But there was no food in the mountain, so he had to go to the city to tell people's fortunes to survive! He looked quite pitiful." Wang Changshou talked nonsense.

Let alone, there is no other type of swinger-type traitor, but Xia Jiba talks one thing after another, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

The reason why he can do this may have something to do with the hot face he just put on Nagano Yuuo's cold butt. By lying to him, Wang Changshou can also regain some face. Anyway, he is not afraid that these lowly civilians dare to report him. Yes, the little Taoist priest who is harmless to humans and animals does not look like a human being who can make waves.

"Yo Xi! Your rulers are so **** that even the cultivators can't survive. They can only find food in the cities under our empire's rule!" Nagano Yuio heard this explanation and smiled on his face. He nodded and stretched out his hand. "Come into town! You'll have enough to eat."

What made Nagano Yuao change his mind was actually Wang Changshou's explanation. He had been observing the little Taoist priest's reaction. The little Taoist priest was obviously very frightened and his body was shaking, but his eyes were still clear. This is a spiritual practitioner. How people should react.

The little Taoist priest is afraid, which is derived from the life instinct of fear of powerful creatures. His clear eyes also show that he has faith in gods and has a heart to practice, which completely proves his identity.

Moreover, with the help of the closer distance, he saw that there was no callus on the little Taoist's tiger's mouth. He was definitely not a person who had enough contact with firearms. His fingers were slender and white, and he was probably not someone who often exercised strength. Overall, it showed that he was not will become a threat.

Of course, the most important thing is that he saw the disdainful looks of the Chinese people around him towards Wang Changshou. That is what he wants to see. The more Chinese people are like this, the more the Wang family can go to the dark side with the empire, and there will be no more The way back.

Since Wang Changshou has said this, he doesn't mind giving this guy face.

Before leaving, the little Taoist priest took a deep look at Wang Changshou. Wang Changshou, who had a big parting of his hair, curled his lips and signaled the little Taoist priest to get out of here. Unless his deceased grandma believed it, he would not help the little Taoist priest on a whim.

However, it was Nagano Yuuo who was too stupid, and he was confused by just giving any reason. It would be great if all Japanese people were so stupid.

The Japanese and the Chinese each kept their own secrets and stood at the same city gate.

But he didn't notice that in front of the little Taoist priest, there was an old man with white hair and beard carrying a bag, a relatively strong woodcutter carrying a load of firewood, and a young hunter carrying rabbits and pheasants, handing over a certain amount of money. After paying the entry fee, enter Licheng.

The Japanese can't tell what is Licheng dialect and what is Chinese. And for Licheng people, there won't be much surprise. The special squadron learned it from the local guide as early as when they entered the mountains. Although I won't be particularly proficient in the local dialect in a short period of time, I still have a good grasp of it.

On March 12, ten members of the special squadron entered Licheng County through various cover-ups, including Uncle Han, who Gu Xishui specifically asked Tang Tuanzuo for secondment.

Within the city, people were picked up by the personnel who had already been contacted by the 683 brigade. The Good Citizen Certificate issued by the Japanese army three days after entering the city became everyone's identity document.

The various weapons and equipment needed for the people entering the city were also delivered one by one through the Wang family carriage cargo two days later.

The Wang family is the largest business group in the city. The main members have chosen to join the Japanese, but that does not mean that everyone will follow them wholeheartedly. Some people also choose to embrace another thick leg.

When a crisis comes, everyone has a chance to choose, choose the right life, choose the wrong death, that's all.
