The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 251 Captain Daisuke Ando Withdraws from Guangde

  Daisuke Ando, the captain who had been sitting in the command post waiting for reports from all directions, felt a little uneasy.

  He was thinking about the heavy artillery the Nationalists had used during their offensive!

  Just then, a series of violent explosions echoed from the north of the city again.

  Captain Daisuke Ando finally couldn't sit still in the command post.

  He walked out of the room and asked, "What's the situation in the north of the city?"

  His question was quickly answered:

  "Captain Ryunosuke Fukuju and his entire mixed company of over three hundred men have been completely shattered!" (completely wiped out)

  "How is that possible?" Captain Daisuke Ando's face turned snow-white.

  He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe such news.

  The Japanese soldier who came to report the news was clearly a sensible person.

  Seeing that the captain didn't want to believe the news, he immediately shut his mouth.

  Captain Daisuke Ando took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

  Then he asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me!"

  The communications soldier then said, "Captain Ryunosuke Fukuju first sent the Jikikawa Shinya squad to test the waters.

  I don't know what happened.

  Only three soldiers from the entire Jikikawa Shinya mixed squad survived.

  Then Captain Ryunosuke Fukuju found that the city wall was quiet.

  He sent a puppet army squad to test the attack on the city, and the counterattack from the city wall was very weak.

  Captain Ryunosuke Fukuju then ordered the entire team to attack together and seize the city wall."

  Captain Daisuke Ando nodded repeatedly as he listened.

  There was no mistake in such command: careful verification, bold use of troops.

  The expression on the communications soldier's face changed somewhat: "When the remaining two hundred soldiers of the entire mixed company gathered at the city wall slope and launched an assault on the city wall.

  Suddenly, many bombs were thrown from the city wall, and no one in the entire mixed company survived."

  Captain Daisuke Ando, how he wished the ending could be changed.

  Clearly, everything was fine from the beginning to the middle, why was the ending so miserable?

  "Completely annihilated? No one survived?" Captain Daisuke Ando asked again.

  "Reporting, Captain, yes!"

  "What weapons did they use?" Captain Daisuke Ando asked unwillingly.

  "I don't know, things happened too fast, I couldn't see clearly." The communications soldier's expression immediately became uneasy.

  Even at this time, Captain Daisuke Ando didn't lose his mind.

  He didn't blame the communications soldier: "Get out!"

  In the courtyard, Captain Daisuke Ando stood blankly.

  Many Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers in the courtyard had heard the report just now.

  Many puppet soldiers were already drumming in their hearts: another company is gone.

  Three Japanese companies have died in Guangde already, right?

  At this time, they didn't know that the Fumikan Chūta company defending the west of the city had been completely shattered.

  Captain Daisuke Ando, who was unconsciously looking south in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

  He pointed to the red sky to the south: "What is that?"

  All the Japanese and puppet soldiers in Captain Ando's command post looked at the red sky to the south.

  They looked at each other, unable to understand: Where is the fire?

  Such a big fire, without any warning!

  Soon a Japanese soldier rushed in, panicking, and reported: "Captain, it's bad. A big fire has started on the south city wall.

  The entire Genboyōkō mixed company is trapped in the fire."

  "Ah!" Captain Daisuke Ando was stunned.

  "What's going on? How could a fire start on the city wall?"

  At this time, although the weather was dry, there was nothing on the city wall, and it wouldn't burn even if you wanted it to.

  Just then, Captain Daisuke Ando suddenly remembered the experience he had passed on:

  Using doors, boxes, and cabinets to build simple "tunnels" to defend against the Nationalist army's shells.

  Captain Boren Bu had contributed a special method today, taking all the doors, cabinets, and boxes in the city to the city wall.

  Used to defend against the Nationalist army's mortar bombardment.

  It turned out that Captain Boren Bu had planned to burn the empire's warriors!

  At this time, Captain Daisuke Ando's mind was extremely clear.

  He thought of the situation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had read: during the Battle of Red Cliffs.

  The Sun-Liu alliance was at a disadvantage, and they planned to burn Cao Cao.

  The powerful Cao Cao, because his troops were not accustomed to naval warfare, and many of his soldiers were sick.

  The Sun-Liu alliance specially sent Pang Tong to offer a plan, asking Cao Cao to connect all the big ships with iron chains, so that the soldiers from the north could walk on the big ships as if they were on flat ground.

  At that time, Cao Cao was overjoyed to see that the soldiers were no longer seasick!

  Just as happy as he was to see that the mortar shells couldn't penetrate the doors and couldn't hurt the defending soldiers!

  Later, Cao Cao's army was burned, and it could no longer be separated, so it burned one ship after another.

  Those soldiers struggled on the ship, just like the empire's warriors who were struggling to survive on the city wall now!

  Thinking of this, Captain Daisuke Ando couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

  Boren Bu, ah, Boren Bu, you are indeed not a human! The empire gave you the title of captain, and I trusted you so much.

  You actually designed to kill nearly two hundred warriors of the empire!

  If Cao Cao hadn't caught Pang Tong at that time, he wouldn't have had such regrets.

  Captain Daisuke Ando said with a dark face, "Bring Boren Bu here."

  Although Boren Bu was a puppet army captain, and although there were still some puppet soldiers in this command post.

  But Captain Daisuke Ando didn't care about these.

  Boren Bu was in the command post, in fact, he had been following Captain Daisuke Ando all the time.

  This was because Captain Daisuke Ando had listened to his plan today and thought he had found a contemporary Zhuge Liang.

  He had been keeping Boren Bu by his side.

  Boren Bu had been afraid in his heart when he heard the communications soldier report the fire in the south of the city, which was only burning on the city wall. He had been thinking about how to shirk responsibility.

  Now he heard Captain Daisuke Ando's order.

  He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground and crawled towards Captain Daisuke Ando on his knees.

  He pleaded in a crying voice, "Captain! Captain! I didn't expect it!

  I didn't expect that the Nationalist army would think of using fire.

  I didn't expect that Captain Genboyōkō would not act at all when he saw the Nationalist army launching a fire attack!

  At that time, he only needed to lift the doors and throw them down the city wall to avoid the tragedy."

  "Baga! Captain Genbo has already been shattered, you dog, how dare you slander the warriors of the empire.

  Drag him down and shoot him."

  "No! He can't be allowed to die so easily.

  Yours! Your conscience is greatly damaged.

  The empire treated you so well, allowing you to be a captain.

  Today, you actually intentionally provoked the contradiction between the empire and the people.

  Let the empire rob all the doors and furniture from ordinary people's homes.

  And let the attacking Nationalist army use fire to burn to death a full company of the empire's elite.

  His heart is punishable!"

  It turned out that Captain Daisuke Ando also knew that breaking doors and robbing furniture this morning would cause public resentment.

  It was just that he didn't care at the time, but now, of course, he could say it.

  Let those puppet soldiers know about Captain Boren Bu's evil deeds, so that they can explain to the people in the city in the future.

  All the fault is Captain Boren Bu's.

  The Taijun (Japanese officer) will never be wrong, even if the Taijun is deceived by Boren Bu.

  He will correct himself.

  Now Captain Daisuke Ando began to correct his mistakes, he ordered with gritted teeth:

  "Boren Bu's crimes are heinous, I have to use the most cruel punishment to punish him.

  Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)!"

  In Daisuke Ando's command post, because of today's mixing.

  There were also many puppet soldiers here, and these puppet soldiers also had weapons in their hands.

  When they heard Captain Daisuke Ando's order, not a single soldier stood up to speak for their captain, Boren Bu.

  These puppet soldiers seemed to have heard only a punishment for another person who was not related to them.

  Of course, Captain Daisuke Ando's soldiers didn't have a professional executioner who specialized in Lingchi.

  But although they were not professional, they also knew what kind of punishment this was.

  Hearing the way of death that Captain Daisuke Ando had set for himself.

  Captain Boren Bu did not order the puppet soldiers under his command to come and rescue him.

  He didn't stand up to resist either.

  He just hugged Captain Daisuke Ando's thigh tightly.

  His whole body was trembling: "Taijun! Taijun! My loyalty to the empire can be seen by the sun and the moon!

  Everything I do and think is for the good of the Taijun!

  You also saw it at the time: the doors did block the mortar shells."

  Captain Daisuke Ando disgustedly pulled out his command knife and cut off one of Boren Bu's hands that was holding his thigh with just one stroke.

  Boren Bu, who suddenly lost a hand, was in pain and fear, and screamed in terror.

  He finally let go of this thigh that he couldn't hold on to.

  Immediately, a Japanese soldier rushed up, and they quickly tied Boren Bu up and tightly wrapped a belt around his wound.

  To prevent him from losing blood and dying so quickly.

  Soon, Boren Bu was tied to a wooden stake in the courtyard.

  Those Japanese soldiers used knives to cut pieces of meat from his body.

  Boren Bu was still muttering in his mouth: "Taijun! My loyalty to the empire can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

  Captain Daisuke Ando, who had a bad premonition in his heart, returned to the command post.

  Looking at the sand table that had been made, this sand table had the terrain and mountain shapes around Guangde.

  As for Guangde City, it was only replaced by a small square shape.

  Captain Ando and his staff had never thought of fighting in Guangde City.

  He lifted the sand table, and Captain Ando hastily drew the current situation of Guangde City on paper. The north of the city had been captured.

  This road cannot be taken, two companies have died in the north of the city.

  This shows that the Nationalist army in this direction is powerful!

  The fire in the south of the city cannot be taken at this time.

  The fire seals the city, how can you get out?

  Now the only directions to retreat are the west and east of the city.

  Retreat! Retreat to the west of the city!

  Just as Captain Daisuke Ando was about to issue the order after making his decision.

  The communications soldier sent by the Kazuyama Kameya squad had already rushed into the command post.

  He was reporting to Captain Hario Yūma: "The attacking Nationalist army has fierce firepower. Kazuyama Kameya is unable to resist and requests reinforcements."

  Just then, gunshots also came from the south of the city.

  The gunshots were not far away, and everyone was an experienced old soldier.

  By listening to the sound, they could roughly determine that the gunshots were less than two hundred meters away from the command post.

  It was Chen Sichuan leading the first platoon and first squad to launch an attack on the Japanese command post in Guangde.

  Captain Daisuke Ando finally made up his mind and was no longer indecisive.

  He ordered: "Everyone gather to the east of the city and retreat to Changxing.

  Order the Kazuyama Kameya squad to hold on.

  Reinforcements will arrive soon."

  After his order was issued, he didn't stay, and strode out of the room.

  Captain Boren Bu, who had been stabbed countless times, had been unconscious several times.

  Each time, he was awakened by the Japanese soldiers with cold water.

  Hearing Captain Daisuke Ando's voice, he suddenly woke up again and cried out miserably, "Taijun! I am loyal to the empire!"

  When passing by Boren Bu, Captain Daisuke Ando waved the command knife in his hand.

  He chopped off Boren Bu's head and ordered, "Retreat immediately!"

  He did not order to destroy the documents in the room.

  Because he knew that if he wanted to destroy those documents, he would have to send out a squad to intercept the team attacking from the south of the city.

  This would make the few troops he had even fewer.

  As for the Kazuyama Kameya squad, they were destined to be abandoned.

  Those puppet soldiers who stayed in the command post had just seen Captain Boren Bu's end.

  Although these puppet soldiers all had a heart that longed for freedom.

  But they didn't dare to disobey Captain Daisuke Ando's order in the slightest.

  Not only did they not dare to show any signs of running away, but they also deliberately rushed to the front of the Japanese team.

  Putting on a loyal appearance to clear the way for Captain Daisuke Ando.

  From the actions and expressions of these puppet soldiers, Captain Daisuke Ando, of course, understood:

  These puppet soldiers were frightened by Captain Boren Bu's end just now.

  That's very good, if you can't treat them with gentleness, then show them power.

  The communications soldier immediately conveyed Captain Daisuke Ando's order to Kazuyama Kameya.

  Hearing that reinforcements were coming soon, Kazuyama Kameya immediately announced the good news to the entire squad.

  His mixed squad had one hundred and ten people when they set out.

  Now there were only less than fifty people left.

  In this team that had lost half of its members but had not collapsed, there were still more than twenty Japanese soldiers.

  With these Japanese soldiers around, the puppet soldiers didn't dare to run.

  The puppet soldiers had to act according to the expressions on the faces of the Japanese soldiers.

  In the previous retreat and sniping.

  The ones left to defend and die were all puppet soldiers.

  This was why there were far fewer puppet soldiers left.

  Pi Yuanhua was a puppet soldier in the Fuyuwa Tama squad.

  He had originally been making a living in the army of a small warlord.

  After the Battle of Shanghai broke out, it was their turn to go to the battlefield.

  By the time he followed the team to the battlefield, the real battle had not yet begun.

  They began to collapse.

  The unorganized retreat turned from a retreat to a rout.

  All the officers and command posts in Pi Yuanhua's team were taken down by Japanese squads.

  These soldiers began to run around.

  When they met Captain Fuyuwa Tama, they followed him and mixed in.

  They joined the puppet army inexplicably.

  So far, Pi Yuanhua had not actually fought a formal battle.

  Today's resistance and the enemy's step-by-step pressing made him feel like he was going to die every time.

  Every time, he miraculously escaped.

  After escaping so many times, he became a little numb.

  He thought he was being taken care of by God and would not die.

  Now he was following Captain Kazuyama Kameya's order, crawling on the ground and firing at the opposite side.

  Jia Jiazhen! Gu Jiancai and their team, who had been staying on the roof.

  Finally touched the top of the Japanese soldiers' heads.

  Gu Jiancai made a few gestures, indicating to use bombs.

  Specially manufactured bombs from the Special Operations Company.

  The distance was too close, and it was easy to hurt themselves.

  Jia Jialing felt a little dangerous.

  Gu Jiancai pointed to the other side of the roof, meaning everyone could hide on the other side.

  After everyone had moved to a new position, Gu Jiancai threw a bomb at the Japanese soldiers' position below, who were still holding on and counterattacking.

  This was just an unenhanced explosive pack.

  Just as it fell into the Japanese Kazuyama Kameya squad's position.

  It immediately caused exclamations from all the Japanese and puppet soldiers.

  They watched the fuse on the explosive pack still spitting out sparks.

  Everyone immediately threw away their guns and stood up from the ground.

  They turned around and ran.

  At this time, they couldn't care about the machine gun bullets coming from the opposite side.

  Pi Yuanhua was among these puppet soldiers who got up and ran away.

  This time, when the explosion sounded, his good luck seemed to have run out.

  This time, he could no longer avoid the dense iron filings that were like raindrops.

  Pi Yuanhua fell to the ground, struggling and wailing.

  Hoping that the Taijun not far away could reach out and pull him up.

  It was obvious that he was thinking too much.

  Captain Kazuyama Kameya did not expect that an explosive pack would cause his dozens of soldiers to lose more than half of their members again.

  Now he had less than twenty people left.

  Captain Fuyuwa Tama looked at his puppet army squad, and only three fruits were left.

  Including himself, there were only four oddballs.

  A full fifty puppet soldiers had died in such a short time.

  He couldn't bear the weight of such an ending, mainly because he thought that after this, he would probably only be able to be a small soldier and cannon fodder.

  Thinking of this, Captain Fuyuwa Tama was already looking around.

  Wanting to find a way to retreat that would not be caught up by Captain Kazuyama Kameya.

  Unexpectedly, Captain Kazuyama Kameya said leisurely at this time:

  "Captain Fuyuwa, don't think about running away alone!

  With the protection of the empire's warriors, you won't be able to run ten meters."

  To be able to say that monitoring is protection, this Captain Kazuyama Kameya is also a clear stream.

  Captain Kazuyama Kameya was also muttering in his heart at this time: "It's been a long time since then, from the command post to the location of his sniper.

  Sending a support team over would be enough to run back and forth twice."

  There must be a reason for this unusual thing happening in the empire's team.

  Thinking of this, Captain Kazuyama Kameya suddenly understood.

  The order that Captain Daisuke Ando gave him was to snipe and wait for reinforcements.

  In fact, it was to let himself stay behind and act as the rearguard for the entire team's retreat.

  Understanding the true mission of his team, Captain Kazuyama Kameya did not try to struggle or resist.

  He could only continue to block.

  If a team wants to escape, someone always needs to sacrifice.

  Now let the Kazuyama Kameya squad sacrifice!

  Chen Sichuan led the team to attack and attack all the way, and soon attacked the Japanese command post.

  He saw a person wearing a puppet army uniform in the courtyard, his head was chopped off on the ground.

  The flesh on his hands and feet had been cut so that only the bones could be seen.

  He didn't know this person.

  Chen Sichuan rushed into Captain Daisuke Ando's command room.

  The battle map was still hanging on the wall, and a large sand table was overturned on the ground.

  There was no other destruction or destruction in the room.

  Chen Sichuan was overjoyed: it was a good thing to be able to capture the Japanese military map.

  The Japanese map was much more detailed and accurate than the map used by the Nationalist army.

  There was not a single living person in the entire Japanese team's command post.

  Chen Sichuan ordered, "Gu Xiuming, collect the information here properly.

  Prepare it for the company commander."

  He led the team to rush to the west of the city where there were still gunshots.

  When Chen Sichuan led the team to the west street of the city, there were only less than ten people left in the Kazuyama Kameya squad.

  As for Captain Fuyuwa Tama and the last three puppet soldiers in his squad, they had been killed in the fierce attack of the second platoon.

  The number of people in the Kazuyama Kameya squad was getting smaller and smaller, and the team's firepower was getting weaker and weaker.

  The second platoon fought even more fiercely.

  No matter how the Japanese soldiers in the Kazuyama Kameya squad struggled.

  They couldn't stop the armored vehicle attack of the second platoon.

  Watching his soldiers being shot to death by heavy machine guns one after another.

  Captain Kazuyama Kameya had already made his final preparations.

  Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of fierce machine gun strafing behind him.

  When Chen Sichuan led the team to the west street of the city.

  He immediately saw a dozen Japanese soldiers who were still resisting stubbornly.

  These Japanese soldiers were hiding in the corners of the houses and constantly firing at the front.

  The soldiers of the first squad and first platoon rushed from behind.

  A burst of gunfire passed, and the first platoon and the second platoon attacked the last of the Kazuyama Kameya squad from both sides.

  The last few Japanese soldiers, including Captain Kazuyama Kameya, all fell in a pool of blood.

  Captain Fuyuwa Tama still couldn't escape in the end.

  He was forced to death by Captain Kazuyama Kameya.

  If Captain Kazuyama Kameya hadn't been staring at him, Captain Fuyuwa Tama would have run into the homes of these people and hid.

  In fact, this was also his luck. Captain Fuyuwa Tama didn't know how much these people in Guangde hated them.

  If he really fell into the hands of these people, the ending would not be better than Captain Boren Bu!

  Chen Sichuan watched Liu Laopao rush over with his team and smiled happily:

  "Good you, Liu Laopao, I'll help you fight the Japanese soldiers in the west of the city.

  You actually quietly rushed into the city from the gap to fight the Japanese command post.

  What's the result?

  The command post was still occupied by me first."

  Liu Laopao was very depressed. He clearly led the team into the city first.

  But in the end, it was the first platoon that set off later that attacked the command post.

  He pointed to Captain Kazuyama Kameya, who was lying in a pool of blood, and said:

  "This Japanese soldier has a lot of tricks!

  It took me a lot of effort to kill these more than one hundred people.

  Today's puppet soldiers are also strange, they are as brave as the Japanese soldiers.

  These puppet soldiers took medicine today."

  Chen Sichuan pointed to the fire that was still burning in the south of the city:

  "See? You have to use methods to fight.

  In ancient times, there was Zhuge Kongming burning Red Cliffs, and now there is Chen Sichuan burning the Japanese soldiers."

  Liu Laopao had already seen the fire in the south of the city when he was attacking.

  Now he knew that it was set by Chen Sichuan, and he immediately became interested.

  He quickly asked: "How did you set this fire? How did it burn for so long?"

  Chen Sichuan knew that Liu Laopao wanted to learn the method and the technique.

  So he didn't hide anything and told everything about how to make a fire bomb.

  Liu Laopao was surprised: "Even if you throw such a fire bomb up, it won't burn for so long!"

  Chen Sichuan said with a smile: "Today, those Japanese soldiers piled up doors, boxes, and cabinets on the city wall.

  They put the boxes and cabinets in the middle of the horse-riding path and covered them with several layers of doors.

  When our mortar shells hit, they were blocked by the doors.

  They couldn't reach those puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers hiding inside.

  Those Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers thought that this could perfectly protect them.

  Those Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers guarding the city did not expect that there was an advantage and a disadvantage.

  After I led the team to take down the west of the city.

  The Japanese soldiers in the south of the city actually used these things to completely block the road.

  Leaving me a thirty-meter space on the horse-riding path in the south of the city.

  If I rush in, the Japanese soldiers will either bomb or shoot, and there will definitely be no good things.

  How could I go into such a trap?

  I thought of using fire to attack.

  I just thought of throwing torches to ignite those doors.

  To make the Japanese soldiers a little chaotic.

  As long as those Japanese soldiers panic a little.

  My team rushes over, and they are dead.

  As a result, when our team was looking for torches in the west of the city, a young man said that he had played with the kind of fire bomb I just said when he was a child.

  When it is thrown out, it will burn whatever it touches.

  The oil will not go out until it is completely burned.

  So we used this kind of fire bomb, and the result is what it is now."

  Liu Laopao sighed, "There are masters among the people!

  Setting fire can actually reach such a height.

  Master! Lao Liu admires you!"

  Anyway, he just didn't say that he admired Chen Sichuan.

  Lin Fan stood at the heavy artillery position outside the north of Guangde City, watching the battle in the city with concern.

  There were constantly communications soldiers bringing news of the battle ahead.

  When he saw the towering fire in the south of the city, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

  At this time, Lin Fan was afraid that such a big fire would cause a fire in the city gate, affecting the fish in the pond.

  Fortunately, the news that followed explained that it was just the city wall that was on fire.

  The first platoon in the city had already arranged for soldiers to work with the people in Guangde City to prevent the fire.

  This was good news!

  The army helps the people, the people support the army, and the army and the people are one family!

  Since the north, west, and south sides of the city had been taken down by the Special Operations Company, the heavy artillery position built here could be moved.

  With an order: the entire heavy artillery position began to work again.

  The second squad of the second platoon attacking the south of the city was watching the towering fire on the city wall, and they couldn't enter the city from the south at all.

  Just as Wei Haoqi was preparing to enter the city from the east, he received the latest order from Lin Fan:

  "The second platoon is following the tail of the Japanese soldiers who escaped from the east of the city, and cooperate with the third platoon to encircle and annihilate the Japanese soldiers."

  After receiving the order, Squad Leader Wei Haoqi immediately led the team to rush to the east of the city.

  His squad was now the closest to the east of the city, and they only needed to advance about one kilometer to the east of the city.

  They would be able to reach the east gate.

  After Liu Laopao received the order in the city, he immediately ordered the team to assemble.

  At the same time, he ordered the motorcade of the second platoon to quickly drive into Guangde City.

  When Captain Daisuke Ando made up his mind to retreat, his actions were swift.

  Without hesitation, he began to leave Guangde City.

  When he led the Ando team to retreat, there were still two squads from Captain Hario Yūma's company in the command post, plus the Japanese soldiers from the team headquarters.

  In addition, there were two squads from the puppet army, Captain Kowa Yutaka's company, with a total of nearly three hundred people.

  When Captain Daisuke Ando led this team of three hundred people to the east of the city in a hurry.

  He immediately issued an order to Captain Shibu Ichitomo, who was in charge of the east of the city:
