A Scout in the War of Resistance

The No. 11 Regiment was the first Japanese army unit to enter the city. When it was ordered by the brigade commander to search the city, it encountered a lot of trouble.While the soldiers were running, a trap suddenly appeared in the middle of the flat street!It is the kind of trap used for catching animals, with a diameter of more than two meters and a depth of nearly two meters. A few scattered bamboo sticks and sharpened wooden sticks are inserted in the ground. The traps dug are very similar.

At that time, it was the Fifth Division that was attacking the main position of Xinkou. Some soldiers of the Fifth Division who were lucky enough to go to the No. 11 Highland in the later stages of the battle still had fresh memories of the traps in the tunnels.Fortunately, the No.[-] Wing did not participate in the battle against the [-] Heights at that time. They were transferred to Nanjing and Shanghai with their brigade commander.After the Japanese army of this regiment came back, they did not hear from their companions about the tragedy that happened on the [-] Highland. This is the first time they have seen this kind of trap.

If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, but this does not prevent the devil from falling in.Every intersection is where traps are inevitably distributed. No matter whether the devils are traveling from south to north or from east to west, as long as they pass through an intersection, there will always be a trap waiting for them.

This kind of trap with a diameter of more than two meters can not only fall into infantry, but even huge chariots and tanks may fall into it.However, the civilians that Major General Guoqi wanted to find were not found. The only local residents he found were a few wild cats.Major General Guoqi's troops entered the city for various reasons.More than one squadron has been lost.When Major General Guoqi, unwilling to find nothing, wanted to continue to intensify the search in the city, Lieutenant General Sakagaki had already entered the city.

Lieutenant General Sakagaki didn't want to see this man who seemed to be suffering from rabies, so he sent a messenger to inform Kunikito to stop the unnecessary search. The city has obviously been evacuated, and the traps in the city were prepared for them. .Lieutenant General Sakagaki asked Guo Qideng to command the troops to station nearby, send a small group of troops to investigate the surrounding terrain, and then lead the large troops forward.

Although the head of the Guoqi brigade is a little not clear-headed, he is still full of awe from the bottom of his heart for this powerful division head.Since your Excellency the Lieutenant General has ordered him to be stationed there, Major General Guoqi must obey the military order.

When the army stops, the first thing is to light a fire and cook.After fighting for a day, with so many casualties, resting and filling our stomachs are of course the top priority.The Huotou Army, who was responsible for fetching water, found that the well water in the city had a strange smell, so he asked the army commander whether he should go to the Yi River outside the city to fetch water.

Today's Yihe River is not the clear river it used to be.Today, the Yi River not only broke out once early in the morning, flooding the embankments on both sides, but also took the lives of thousands of division soldiers, many of whom belonged to the No.11 Regiment.Just remembering that so many soldiers who were comrades-in-arms yesterday died in this river, all the commanders of the Japanese Army of the Eleventh Regiment are full of resentment and fear for this river, not to mention that there is still hidden at the bottom of the Yi River. Thousands of corpses of the imperial army, how could they have the mood to drink or eat the rice cooked in this kind of river water?

After being scolded by the officers, the cooks of the [-]th Regiment had no choice but to try to scoop up some well water to taste first.Although the well water smelled a bit strange, it tasted good to drink.The garrisons of the various troops began to emit cooking smoke, and the devils were already hungry. If the Huotou army didn't cook, they would probably be beaten.

One hour after the meal, some Japanese soldiers began to show signs of poisoning to varying degrees.Today, most people in the No.11 Regiment drank the well water in the city, not only the 42th Regiment, but also the [-]th Regiment, the [-]nd Regiment, and even two of the four field hospitals, as well as engineers. United.In short, more than half of the soldiers in the Fifth Division, including those stationed in the city, and the troops that passed through the city and pursued forward, as long as they were soldiers who drank well water in the city, all of them showed symptoms of varying severity. Signs of poisoning!

People with good physical fitness and drinking less water will have milder signs of poisoning; those with poor physical conditions, such as mildly or severely wounded patients, or patients who are sick, will be more poisoned.Fortunately, Lieutenant General Sakagaki did not drink well water today. After he fell into the water today, he had a bit of a cold. In order to prevent the infection from spreading to other people, he has been drinking water from the kettle brought to him by his orderly since he entered the city. in the water.

As of [-]:[-] p.m., more than half of the poisoned wounded in the field hospital had died, and there were also poisoned deaths in various combat units.Major General Guo Qideng has been in poor physical condition due to his long-term mental illness. In the afternoon, he also fell ill in bed.

Hearing that Kunukiteng was also poisoned, Lieutenant General Sakagaki immediately let go of all his unhappiness and hurried over to visit him.

It only took half a day to see him, but the brigade commander of the brigade, whose face was flushed red and who was always in a state of excitement, had sunken eye sockets and sunken cheeks. It seemed that he might die at any time.

"Mr. Guoqi, how do you feel?" Lieutenant General Sakagaki saw that one of his main generals, the head of the Guoqi Brigade, had turned into such a state, and immediately felt a strong sense of sadness in his heart. The lieutenant general, known for his toughness, also had a rare anxiety in his question.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I think it's time for me to go back to China. I seem to have seen the call of the Yasukuni Shrine." After Guo Qideng said this, the look in his eyes dissipated a bit, and he had entered the On his deathbed.

"Kuniki-kun, please be strong." Itagaki Seishiro couldn't continue after saying this, because he found that he called Kunukiteng strong, but in fact, he wanted to make himself stronger.

Since the Fifth Division arrived in Linyi, the battle has been going badly. First, it was blocked here by a little-known miscellaneous Third Army.It cannot be said that the troops did not work hard. After paying thousands of casualties, they still couldn't take down a Chinese motley army with only more than 1 people, which made the lieutenant general very annoyed.Immediately afterwards was Zhang Zizhong, the famous general of the Xifengkou Anti-Japanese War, who severely humiliated the Fifth Division.Twice in a row, both times under the city of Linyi, just these two people became a hurdle that the Fifth Division would never be able to overcome!

Just today, the cunning enemy actually used a vicious water attack strategy, killing thousands of imperial soldiers in one fell swoop!Finally, after paying huge casualties, this Linyi city was finally captured, but it was just an empty city.The endless traps in the city have caused many casualties to the troops entering the city, and now even the brigade commander of the major general of the army has been poisoned!Is the fifth division really going to be discredited in his own hands?

Just when Division Chief Sakagaki was feeling heavy and his imagination was running wild, Kunikito tilted his head and returned to the Yasukuni Shrine.This butcher, hooligan, executioner, and violator of crimes against humanity, who committed numerous crimes during the war of aggression against China and whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people in Nanjing, finally ended his criminal life.
