Chapter 永不解封的档案 工兵

Of course, Nakajima Mitsuki, the commander of the 3rd Engineering Regiment, was well aware of what Kurihara Naoji, the regimental commander, really meant by asking him to send twenty soldiers to repair the brigade headquarters.

He looked at the regimental commanders around him, who were smiling subtly, and the brigade commander, Katayama Riichiro, who was looking at him with encouragement.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refuse.

Although the engineers were only an auxiliary unit, they were definitely not walking rations!

Just as Commander Nakajima Mitsuki was about to say "no," he suddenly remembered what Brigade Commander Katayama Riichiro had just said to Commander Kurihara Naoji.

"Maybe after I refuse, I'll be the first to become these people's rations!" Cold sweat broke out on Commander Nakajima Mitsuki's back.

Better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than oneself? Was there even a choice?

"Hai!" Commander Nakajima Mitsuki walked out of the operations headquarters, and Commander Kurihara Naoji followed him out.

He pointed to a dark room ten meters away from the brigade commander's headquarters and said, "Let them go into that room and open a door on the left side, leading to another room.

"It's for convenience!"

Commander Nakajima Mitsuki understood, "That dark room is a slaughterhouse! Opening a new door should be to make it easier to move the bodies out of another door after the slaughter."

"Hai!"

He looked at Commander Kurihara Naoji with fear.

Such an order could have been delivered by a messenger.

When Sergeant Inada Kento, as a messenger of the brigade headquarters, walked towards the station of the 3rd Engineering Regiment,

his steps were so heavy that he wanted to stop, not because he knew the real meaning behind this order.

But because he was really tired and hungry!

The legendary "love can fill you up" only applies when you're not hungry.

Sergeant Inada Kento's stomach was rumbling as he walked, filled with water, the sound of water sloshing around.

Despite drinking a bellyful of water, the feeling of hunger hadn't changed in the slightest.

He struggled to reach the station of the 3rd Engineering Regiment and conveyed Commander Nakajima's order to Chief of Staff Morishige Shigezo in the command post.

Chief of Staff Morishige Shigezo immediately assigned the Nikko Taro squad to carry out the mission.

Squad Leader Nikko Taro was still a platoon leader yesterday.

So many squad leaders had died in the past two days that he had been promoted on the spot.

The entire engineering regiment now had more than 150 Japanese soldiers, reorganized into three squads.

This time, the command post needed twenty engineers to do some repairs, which was happening right under the brigade commander's nose.

Of course, they had to show the appearance of the engineers. In order to show off, Squad Leader Nikko Taro specially selected some relatively strong Japanese soldiers from the squad to go.

At the same time, he had to supervise the work in person. Being able to show his face in front of the brigade commander and be remembered by him would make his future path easier.

Squad Leader Nikko Taro personally led twenty Japanese soldiers to the brigade headquarters with great enthusiasm.

They were immediately sent into a dark room. It was too easy for twenty Japanese soldiers to open a door in the wall of the room.

However, they were not just opening a door, they were also blocking the newly opened room with doors and windows, and then opening another door.

Squad Leader Nikko Taro was responsible for directing his men to work. He stood intentionally or unintentionally in the courtyard, loudly encouraging the Japanese soldiers to work faster and better.

But as soon as he shouted, he didn't attract the brigade commander's attention, but instead attracted Commander Kurihara Naoji, who came over and scolded loudly:

"His Excellency the Brigade Commander is thinking about the battle plan, your loud shouting is disturbing the Brigade Commander."

"Hai!" Squad Leader Nikko Taro didn't expect that his method was wrong.

He was trying to flatter but kicked the horse instead, and suddenly withered like a frost-stricken eggplant!

In the dark room, Nagao Taro, who was working hard to smash the wall on an empty stomach, complained in a low voice, "I'm tired and hungry, and I'm still being made to work. I really can't live anymore."

Chitose Oyu echoed, "That's right! I only ate a small piece of meat last night and dug ditches all night.

"I also ran more than ten li just now, and I'm so hungry that I can't even breathe."

"Baga! Work! You guys work! Don't say such things that confuse the military!" Platoon Leader Ueno Kaisen shouted in a low voice.

He had clearly heard the content of Squad Leader Nikko Taro's scolding and didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the brigade commander.

But he wanted to stop the discussion among these Japanese soldiers under his command. Ueno Kaisen, who had just become a platoon leader, needed to establish his authority among these Japanese soldiers.

"When we were digging ditches yesterday, we were still brothers. You couldn't dig, and we helped you complete the task.

"You just became a platoon leader today and you're putting on airs in front of us?

"You're not even like a crown prince even if you put on a dragon robe." Nagao Taro was obviously in a bad mood today and was arguing with anyone he could find.

"Baga! How dare you talk back to your superior?" Platoon Leader Ueno Kaisen was furious.

He put down the tools in his hand, rushed to Nagao Taro, and reached out to slap him.

According to the rules in the Japanese army, subordinates should stand at attention and accept when superiors slap them.

The imagined "Hai!" did not appear.

Instead, Nagao Taro raised his hand and grabbed Platoon Leader Ueno Kaisen's hand, and slapped Platoon Leader Ueno Kaisen in the face with the other hand.

He just couldn't understand: Why did a bellyful of cold water slosh when walking, but now that he had eaten meat and drank a bellyful of meat soup, it didn't slosh when he walked?

The Japanese soldiers were eating lunch, and the 59th Army and the Special Operations Brigade were also eating lunch.

The soldiers of the 59th Army were extremely excited today: the Japanese had airdropped a large number of canned goods and weapons and equipment.

The Special Operations Brigade couldn't use the weapons and equipment, so they were all given to the 59th Army.

This made Zhang Zizhong very happy, and he ran to Lin Fan again from the command post to thank him in person.

This was enough to arm a Japanese brigade with heavy weapons! Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, mortars, and infantry guns were all there.

This was equivalent to the Japanese replacing all the heavy equipment of the 59th Army.

The Japanese also airdropped a lot of rice and canned goods.

Originally, Zhang Zizhong felt that he had taken all the weapons, so he wouldn't distribute these things.

As a result, Lin Fan still divided the food equally between the two.

Zhang Zizhong did not hide the canned food he received, and immediately ordered each of the brothers in the 59th Army to receive a can of meat to eat with their lunch.

They would continue to eat the rest during dinner until they were finished.

This made the soldiers of the 59th Army very happy. They only ate meat a few times every ten days and a half months, and they couldn't eat as much as they wanted.

Zhang Zizhong didn't need to know the soldiers, he could accurately distinguish which soldiers were from the Special Operations Brigade and which soldiers were under his command just by looking at their appearance.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade were all burly and knew that they were strong.

The soldiers under his command were all very thin, to put it nicely, they were immortal and refined.

In reality, they were just malnourished and hungry!

Now that they had some canned meat, he would let the brothers enjoy themselves a few times first!

The cleanup work between Pingluo Village and Luying Town had ended, and the 59th Army's task was to surround the Japanese soldiers who had fled into Luying Town.

This time, no one in the 59th Army believed that the Japanese soldiers in Luying Town could make any waves.

The current 59th Army was completely transformed compared to when it first arrived in Luying Town.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was high, and none of them showed any fear.

The weapons and equipment had also been improved by several levels. They had their own artillery regiment, with a full twenty-four large-caliber heavy artillery pieces.

There were thousands of heavy machine guns, more than 5,000 light machine guns, more than 200 mortars, and more than 60 infantry guns.

There were so many weapons that they couldn't use them all, they couldn't use them all!
