Chapter 259: Murakuchi Saburo Wants to Be a Musician
What Murakuchi Saburo said was not very obscure.
This is equivalent to telling Qingquan Muyi clearly that you were exposed because you didn't clean your own ass.
If you can't handle it well, commit suicide as quickly as possible.
What if Qingquan Muyi didn't clean up his own mess and got all of them involved?
By then, not only will Qingquan Muyi himself die, but Qingquan Muyi's family will not have an easy time either.
But Murakuchi Saburo also gave Kiyozumi Muichi hope.
If Qingquan Muyi committed suicide in time, they would also treat Qingquan Muyi's family well.
Qingquan Muyi's face showed no expression as he listened to Murakuchi Saburo's words.
This incident was entirely caused by his own greed, not because Murakuchi Saburo and others wanted to throw him out as a scapegoat.
To be honest, even if Murakuchi Saburo and others don't care about Qingquan Muyi now, it won't be a problem.
Moreover, Murakuchi Saburo has been very good to Kiyozumi Kiichi. Not only did he help him cover up many things, he also wanted to get Kiyozumi Kiichi to the position of colonel.
For Kiyozumi Muichi, who had no connections, it was impossible for him to become a colonel by himself.
Now, with the help of Murakuchi Saburo and others, it will not be difficult for Kiyozumi Muichi to become a colonel.
But who knows that Qingquan Muyi’s own butt is not clean?
Who made Qingquan Muyi cause this trouble himself?
Those who dare to do this are not fools. Qingquan Muyi naturally understood what Murakuchi Saburo meant.
"Muraguchi-kun, don't worry. If my affairs are really beyond my control, I will commit suicide as quickly as possible and will definitely not be a burden to anyone. But my relatives will need your care in the future."
After listening to Kiyozumi Muichi's words, Murakuchi Saburo realized that Kiyozumi Muichi had an idea in his mind, so he spoke to comfort him.
"Qingquan-kun, don't worry, if there is any unexpected situation, I will inform you in advance.
Then you can lead your troops directly out to fight, and if you fall on the battlefield, the higher-ups won't pursue the matter too much.
After you commit suicide, I will personally take care of your family. Your children are my children, and I will never treat them unfairly.
Otherwise, Colonel Chidori would not have committed suicide so decisively.
But Qingquan-kun, you don't have to worry too much. What if the ones who contacted us are really the Eighth Route Army?"
Listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Kiyozumi Muichi no longer had the joy he felt when the radio station first received the contact.
Who can be happy after knowing that they will most likely die soon?
When Murakuchi Saburo saw the look on Qingquan Muyi's face, he could only shake his head helplessly.
There is really no other way. Once Qingquan Muyi is taken away alive, he might be asked something out of him, and then everyone will be doomed.
They wanted to set up an Osaka Brigade in the First Army, but the higher-ups would definitely not agree, and they definitely would not want to see another Osaka Brigade appear.
By then, even if they don't die, they will be demoted and sent to the front line to be cannon fodder, and will be directly consumed.
The Osaka Division is not here, so they can't find any troops to protect themselves.
"Baga, if the division was here, there wouldn't be so many problems!
The position of commander of the First Army was open to Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu, so why couldn't the division commander take it?
If our division commander was the commander of the First Army, and the Osaka Division was in the First Army, how could we have been in such a big trouble? "
Thinking that their backer, the Osaka Division, was still in the south and would probably be transferred out of China in the near future, Murakuchi Saburo felt depressed.
When we were in the Osaka Division, even if they were reselling supplies, so what?
It's nothing more than the division sending people down to inspect, and if they've gone too far, they'll give them some warnings, and then tell you who leaked the news of reselling supplies, and let them find a way to solve the problem themselves.
If it was an outsider coming to check, huh, it would be even easier.
It’s easy to deal with our own people. We can just have a meal with them, drink some wine, and hand over a few wounded soldiers who are not suitable to stay on the front line, and then use this as an excuse to send them back to their homeland.
If it's an unrelated guy, listen carefully and give me some explanation. If you don't listen and I want a thorough investigation,
Humph, then you have to be careful of bandits on the way here, or be careful of shells shot from somewhere unknown.
But now the Osaka Division is not next to them, and they are not in the Osaka Division, but in the First Army.
If the higher-ups really investigate, they will have no way to resist except to accept it obediently.
Listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Qingquan Muyi also sighed.
“Alas, it would be great if the commander was one of ours. In that case, who would dare to investigate?
We can do whatever we want.
If those damned politicians hadn't started this damned war, I might have become a historian."
"Who said it wasn't? I wanted to be a musician when I was a kid..."
Murakuchi Saburo just mentioned that he wanted to be a musician, and his face turned dark as if he thought of some bad memories.
"Muraguchi-kun, don't be sad. As long as we can survive until the end of the war and get as much money as possible before the war, we can still fulfill our dreams, right?"
When Qingquan Mu saw that Murakuchi Saburo didn't say anything, he thought that Murakuchi Saburo was thinking about his past dream, but now he appeared on the battlefield.
These guys who have not been brainwashed by Bushido are all smart. In addition to having the shrewdness of small businessmen, they also have a thorough understanding of these things.
Especially after those politicians at the top were so arrogant as to say that they would destroy China within three months, and even after they captured the Chinese capital, they were unable to force China to surrender.
They all realized that they would definitely not be able to win this war.
As for their original division commander, he saw the situation clearly earlier than them. Right after the war broke out, their division commander said that they would absolutely not be able to win this war.
The endless stream of anti-Japanese guerrilla groups in Manchuria alone is enough to show the Chinese people's determination to resist.
Moreover, those guys who were brainwashed by Bushido only had attack and fighting in their minds, and did not consider occupation at all.
"Yes, those guys who were brainwashed by Bushido have no idea how tenacious the people of this land are. Those idiots think they can occupy this land and rule these people by killing people.
But this is just forcing the people of this land to resist with all their might.”
After listening to Kiyozumi Muichi's words, Murakuchi Saburo controlled the radio to send out another message, then stood up and stood in front of the firing port of the artillery tower, looking at the pitch-black wilderness.
"I hope the enemy is really the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, this time we are really in trouble."
……
In a deserted village about twenty miles away from Xiaocaozhuang.
Qin Yangming looked at the radio in front of him with disbelief on his face. Duan Peng and others beside him also had shock on their faces.
Just now, Qin Yangming was still assigning tasks and discussing with them how to stop Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo.
As a result, the radio that everyone had placed aside suddenly lit up, indicating that a nearby radio station was sending wireless signals on the same channel.
Originally, Qin Yangming adjusted the radio to the channel that Murakuchi Saburo had mentioned just to give it a try, and he never thought that he would be able to actually get in touch with Murakuchi Saburo and others.
Unexpectedly, I actually received the signal.
"Captain Qin, have we made contact already?"
Wei Dayong, who came with him, looked at Qin Yangming letting go of the radio and asked with some disbelief.
This time when he came, Li Yunlong gave some specific instructions to Wei Dayong, asking Wei Dayong to learn how Qin Yangming commanded a small unit in combat.
Then Wei Dayong will be able to lead the commandos better in battle in the future.
As a result, Qin Yangming just said that he might have reconnected with Murakuchi Saburo and others.
This means that the big guy probably won't need to fight, so how can he learn?
Listening to Wei Dayong's question, Qin Yangming spoke uncertainly.
“I’m not sure if I’ve really contacted Murakuchi Saburo and the others.
The other party at the radio station was very cautious and did not reveal their identity. I also did not reveal my identity. I was not sure if it was the radio station in Xiaocaozhuang.
I was worried that Murakuchi Saburo and his men would be exposed. This channel was known to the Japanese intelligence department, so they deliberately brought the radio to use this channel to send signals, and then spread false information to ambush us.
Anyway, let's prepare for the battle first. I have sent a telegram to the other side. If there are no accidents, we will meet and check the situation tomorrow morning."
"Qi Tao, tomorrow you will take your troops to Xiaocaozhuang and keep an eye on it. If a large number of Japanese troops are dispatched, go and notify Captain Ding directly and cooperate with Captain Ding to attack the Japanese troops that come out of Xiaocaozhuang.
If the Japs are dispersed and presenting a search mission, then you should also disperse the cavalry company in squads to see what the Japs are doing.
If the Japs are mainly patrolling, avoid them and don't get into conflict with them first."
"Sun Desheng, take your troops to the outskirts of Zhangzhuang. If you encounter the fleeing Japanese, just kill them all.
Others were like Qi Tao. If they met patrolmen, they would avoid them and avoid conflicts.
The cavalry company of the New 1st Regiment will follow me in the attack."
After answering Wei Dayong's question, Qin Yangming quickly began to assign tasks to Qi Tao and two other cavalry company commanders.
"Yes!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"understand!"
Qi Tao was somewhat puzzled as he listened to Qin Yangming's order.
"Captain Qin, I'm a little confused. Why do you say that if you encounter a Japanese patrol, you should avoid it, but if you encounter a fleeing Japanese soldier, you should kill him?
Is there any explanation for this? "
“It’s simple, we doubt whether the other party’s identity is genuine.
If the other party is real, then he will inevitably doubt whether we are real.
If Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo were really the two people behind the other radio, they would be more worried about being exposed than we were.
We are exposed and the most we can do is fight a battle with the Japanese.
We were supposed to fight the Japanese anyway, so even if we were exposed, it would have no impact on us at all.
But if the other party is really Qingquan Muyi, they will be exposed and might even lose their lives.
If Kiyozumi Muichi and Murakuchi Saburo suspected that we were not the Eighth Route Army but their intelligence agents in disguise, they would be in trouble once they were exposed.
So the other party will definitely make corresponding preparations.
I bet that if Kiyomizu Muichi or Murakuchi Saburo suspected that we were not from the Eighth Route Army, but instead mistook us for their intelligence agents, those two guys would do so to ensure that they would not run into any problems and be investigated.
At that time, troops will definitely be dispatched to block the surrounding intersections and two strongholds.
Then they search for the person they think is an intelligence agent, and kill him/her directly after finding him/her!
After all, Qingquan Muyi has a squadron of soldiers at his disposal. In this case, Qingquan Muyi will definitely kill the intelligence personnel to avoid being exposed. "
"Put yourself in my shoes. If I were Qingquan Muyi, after I got in touch with the radio station, I would be worried that there might be other radio stations nearby eavesdropping, and I couldn't confirm whether it was the Eighth Route Army.
Then I will definitely prepare for the worst.
Let Saburo Murakuchi go and make contact, then disperse the troops and surround the area entirely.
If it was a trap, not set by the Eighth Route Army, but by the intelligence personnel on his side, then in order to save his own life, Murakuchi Saburo would definitely attack the intelligence personnel.
We must kill all the intelligence personnel as soon as possible before the information is leaked.
In order to prevent the intelligence personnel from escaping, I will definitely disperse the troops and form patrol teams to patrol and make sure to stop and kill all the intelligence personnel.
Just think about it, when the intelligence personnel are being hunted down by Murakuchi Saburo and his men, those intelligence personnel will definitely ask for help from the nearby Xiaocaozhuang stronghold or Zhangzhuang stronghold.
At this time, I sent people to guard the intersections leading to these two strongholds in advance.
When these intelligence personnel appear, they will be caught by my people immediately.
As long as the news doesn't leak out.
Then Qingquan Muyi and his men could directly confirm the identities of these intelligence personnel as the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army... In short, they would make the identities of these intelligence personnel whatever was beneficial to them.
When all these people are killed, won't Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo be able to say whatever they want? "
“So, Commander, you told us not to engage in fire when we encounter patrols because you thought those patrols were likely sent by Kiyomizu Muichi or Murakuchi Saburo.
To avoid any misunderstanding.”
"Yes, if you meet and there is a misunderstanding, it will be hard to say what will happen next."
