Chapter 620 Betrayal
Ma Datou lowered his head, and then the docility on his face turned into anger. He no longer stayed by Kawasaki Kazuo's side, but walked into the team of guards who were as tired as dead dogs.
"Captain, please eat something!"
The adjutant at the side handed over a handful of fried noodles.
"Huh? Why are you eating this? Didn't you prepare a lot of dried beef before you set out?"
The adjutant smiled bitterly and pointed at the group of Japanese soldiers fifty meters away.
"They were all taken away by the Imperial Army. Only this little fried noodles are left!"
The adjutant looked at the fried noodles and swallowed his saliva. The other soldiers of the guard regiment were chewing grass roots and also drooling at the fried noodles.
"Give it to the soldiers!"
"Captain, you should eat it first. Even if we divide it among the two hundred of us, each person can only get a few grains. No matter how full you are, it will only arouse your appetite.
You are our backbone. If you are full and have strength, you can keep the brothers alive and go home!"
Ma Datou, who used to be hard-hearted, was actually moved by the deception he had endured. At critical moments, his compatriots are more trustworthy.
Ma Datou did not respond. He looked at the Japanese soldiers who kept pointing at them, his back teeth creaking.
"Adjutant, gather all officers above the level of company commander and announce the next action plan!"
"Ah? Captain, you're not going to fight them to death. We have more than a thousand brothers, and only about two hundred of them are left after all the hard work. We can't fight anymore!"
Ma Datou put his hands on the adjutant's shoulders and shook him.
"Brother, do you believe in me, Ma Datou?"
"Well, of course I believe it!"
"Then listen to me, I will take you back alive!"
"Yes!"
Ten minutes later, under the nose of Kazuo Kawasaki, the Erlianhot guards held an impromptu combat meeting.
Kazuo Kawasaki was amazed that this big-headed Ma had finally gotten his bearings and had even learned how to hold a meeting.
In the small circle of the guard regiment, Ma Datou sat on the ground, looked around at the dozen or so officers around him, then took out his box gun with a snap and held it in front of him.
"Brothers, we have been chased by the Independent Column and beaten by the Liberation Brigade these past few days. We have suffered a lot. But that's not all. Just now, Kazuo Kawasaki asked me to inform everyone that we will not run away today, but will die together with them?"
The crowd was in an uproar. It was obvious that all the soldiers in the guard regiment were not prepared to die in a foreign land.
"But, brothers, I am not going to follow his orders! I brought you here not to die, but to live. If we are going to die anyway, we might as well die in our hometown!"
Ma Datou's heartfelt words made the officers of the Guards Regiment feel the same way. They originally joined the puppet army to make their lives more comfortable, not to risk their lives.
"So, I decided to turn against the Japanese as soon as the battle started, kill all the Japanese, and then take Kazuo Kawasaki's head as a token of my loyalty.
As far as I know, as long as the brothers who don't have many lives on their hands will survive. Those brothers who have killed people, take advantage of the chaos to escape, don't worry, we will take care of your families!
You have called me the head of the group for so many years, I can't let you call me that for nothing, I will take you back! In addition, the gun is right in front of us, if any of you disagree, don't tell on me, just put the gun to my head and take me to Kazuo Kawasaki!"
Ma Datou looked around again, and as he expected, no one was willing to joke with their life.
"Captain, fight them!"
"Yes, I am used to being bullied by them. Damn it, I am going to take revenge now!"
"That's right, let's settle both new and old grudges together!"
Ma Datou was very satisfied. The atmosphere was so set. It would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't fight against Kazuo Kawasaki.
"Okay, then we'll have three brothers each to watch one of the Japanese soldiers, using Changshengtian as our signal and then just open fire!"
"Row!"
After Ma Datou gave the order, his body was already drenched in cold sweat. Now he had only one thought in his mind: survive!
The soldiers of the Guard Regiment organized themselves in a hurry. At this time, Kazuo Kawasaki looked at the Guard Regiment, which had been free and undisciplined in the past, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Captain Ma, it turns out that people are forced into submission. If we hadn't decided to fight the enemy to the death, I'm afraid your people would still be a pile of mud!"
Ma Datou cursed Kazuo Kawasaki's ancestors in his heart: Mud? Let's see how the mud kills you later!
An hour later, the Kawasaki Regiment and the Guards Regiment found a small hill and began to build simple foxholes, preparing for another decisive battle with the pursuing Liberation Brigade.
"Captain Ma, have your soldiers dig foxholes immediately. Oh, and dig fifty more. The soldiers of the empire need to rest, so you can do the job!"
Ma Datou now wants to hit Kawasaki Kazuo on the head with a military shovel. The warriors of the empire need to rest. Let you have a complete rest right away.
"Yes, it is my honor to serve the Imperial Army!"
After saying this, Ma Datou went back to work and walked to the side of the soldiers of the guard regiment.
"Brothers, the Japanese are asking us to dig foxholes for them! Let's dig them right away, but these are not foxholes, they are their graves, dig deeper!"
"okay!"
When the soldiers of the guard regiment thought about burying the Japanese with their own hands, they worked like crazy with their engineering shovels. In less than half an hour, they had dug out more than 50 foxholes. Even Kazuo Kawasaki was assigned one.
"Captain Kawasaki, the foxholes have been dug, please review them!"
Kazuo Kawasaki looked at the foxholes on the ridgeline and nodded with satisfaction. This was the first time he had seen such high-standard foxholes.
"Captain Ma, it is true that pressure brings motivation. Your civil engineering work is comparable to that of the soldiers of the Empire. It's a pity that we will soon die in battle on this land, otherwise I would definitely recommend you to study at the Imperial Army University!"
Ma Datou sneered, isn’t it a bit late to make promises now?
"Hayi, thank Captain Kawasaki for your cultivation!"
Weidong and Yuanshan, who were one kilometer away, also discovered Kawasaki Kazuo's intention to fight to the death, so they picked up the telescope and watched from a distance.
"Captain Wei, how do we fight this battle?"
"Captain Yuanshan, you have been watching for more than ten days. Can you tell me what you think?"
Yuanshan thought for a moment and blurted out:
"The Japs don't have heavy firepower right now, so our artillery can get in close and fire at the ridgeline, then cover the infantry's frontal attack!"
"Very good, I have learned the simple coordination between infantry and artillery! But if it were me, I would choose infantry to attack from both wings to avoid the enemy's superior firepower!"
"That's right, Commander Wei really did wake me up with his words!"
"Hahaha, Captain Yuanshan, I've heard that your Chinese is very good, but I didn't expect it to be even better now!"
