Chapter 44 Barracks
The Japanese did not expect that an enemy army would walk in front of them in a swagger, so the only thing waiting for them was failure!

Chapter 44 Military Camp
"Taijun! Taijun..." Seeing a Japanese officer coming up, I hurriedly took out the cigarette prepared by the education chief and handed it on it, lit it.
The Japanese officer skillfully sniffed a few cigarettes, glanced at us vigilantly, and then asked me a little gurgled. Just as I was secretly glad that I couldn't understand Japanese and didn't need to answer, an interpreter suddenly turned from behind the Japanese officer and asked me: "Master Tanaka asked you... Which unit are you from? Whose orders are here to reinforce us?"
I couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Zhang Zizhong only told me the number of the troops, but did not tell me who was ordered by anyone! If the answer was wrong or the person who said it did not exist at all... That's not the truth!
But I knew that I could never show any humility or hesitation at this time, so I smiled and replied with apologized without thinking: "Report to Taijun! We are from the third brigade of the Yidong Security Team, and we came to reinforce the Imperial Army at the order of Captain Wang. As for who gave the order... This... I can't know so much if I am a low-ranking official!"
Actually, I don’t know whether there is this Captain Wang or not. I just grab a surname and say it. Some people may wonder why I wouldn’t just say that Commander Li or Commander Zhang is not even more awesome? This is my wisdom. The little Japanese may hear about the commander of my security brigade or the commander of the army. What if they know that the commander or commander is not the surname Li or Zhang? There are hundreds of surnames in China? It’s just that the chance of me hitting me is less than one percent...
However, if I say it is Captain Wang, it would be different. There are so many captains of the security team. I don’t understand whether there is a captain from a Japanese minority who has the surname Wang!
As expected, Major Tanaka's face was indeed blurred. He just glanced at me and stopped talking.
Seeing that the Japanese were still confused, I patted my chest and volunteered, "Taijun, thank you for your hard work! Why don't you go down and rest and let us defend for you?"
The translator just finished translating my words and made the Japanese around him laugh. The translator said to me very disdainfully: "Master Tanaka said, troops like you... should I wipe my butts for the wounded!"
"Yes... Taijun is right!" Although I secretly hated the arrogance of the Japanese army, I didn't dare to show any signs on my face, and even nodded with a smile on my face.
Major Tanaka glanced at us with contempt, then waved his hand and let it go.
The Education Chief couldn't help but run to me and asked, "You boy! I know you volunteered to gain the trust of the Japanese, but aren't you afraid that they will really let us defend?"
Of course, the concern of the Education Chief makes sense. Although the Japanese look down on the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, in order to preserve their strength and let the puppet army prove their "loyalty", they often let the puppet army act as cannon fodder in front of war... This is also the main reason why the Japanese believe in us: if we were a national army, it would be impossible to be willing to act as cannon fodder and attack our own people!
Of course, I am not a fool, and of course there is a reason for me to do this.
"The Japanese cannot let us defend!" I replied: "It is a taboo for military strategists to change defenses in the last battle, and they are now relying on these peripheral strongholds to protect the headquarters located in the military strategist, so..."
"Um!" The Education Chief then realized it, shook his head with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "You are there! I'm playing the Japanese as a monkey!"
The adjutant beside him also gritted his teeth and said, "It's ridiculous that those Japanese devils still look down on us, but they don't know that they are the ones who are really fools!"
"That's it!" the soldiers also answered:
"When we take their headquarters, let's see if they are arrogant!"
"Wipe their butts? We are here to kick their commander's butt!"
With a coaxing sound, a burst of laughter broke out when the troops were neutral. This is the benefit of fighting with the Japanese. We talked and laughed here and even scolded the little Japanese next to us and couldn't understand... Of course, we considered that we should be careful, so we talked very quietly all the way.
At this time, a team of fully armed Japanese troops came towards us. The Education Chief immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and lean against the roadside to let the Japanese go first... There is no way, this is the rule of the puppet army. Even senior officials in the puppet army must be polite to face ordinary Japanese soldiers, not to mention that we are just ordinary "puppet army". From this point of view, it is not easy to be a traitor.
Perhaps because we have successfully passed the defense of the Japanese army's periphery, the Japanese army did not doubt our identity at all. They just glanced at us with some contempt, laughed at us for a few words and continued to move forward.
This may be the so-called "the more dangerous the place, the safer the place is. The Japanese did not expect that an enemy army would walk in front of them swaggeringly, so they were doomed to fail!
The Education Chief seemed to be familiar with the terrain of this area. He led his troops to turn left and right on the street and walked forward without stopping. Along the way, there were Japanese troops, machine guns, bunkers, cannons, tanks, and firepower points everywhere... They only surprised me and the soldiers: If this was really as strong as before, I would be defeated and would not be able to fight in!
Fortunately, we don't seem to have to pay that price now.
"The barracks ahead!" At this time, the Education Chief suddenly stopped his steps and whispered to the adjutant beside him: "Transfer my orders, and all departments shall not act without authorization. Follow my orders!"
"Yes!" The adjutant responded and turned around and passed the order down.
The troops turned a corner along the street and saw a high wall standing in the darkness. The wall was full of searchlights swinging back and forth, and the corners of the wall were constructed with turrets covered with perforations. One by one, the plaster flags were whistling in the evening breeze, and the Japanese sentry carrying rifles around the wall... It immediately made people feel a tense atmosphere!
The Education Chief winked at me and walked towards the barracks with the soldiers.
"Hi! I didn't fight (Japanese: who is)?" With a shout, several Japanese soldiers standing guard at the gate raised their rifles and pointed at us.
So I laughed at them like before, saying, "Taijun, my own people, my own people!" and I was bound to go forward and flatter him again. Fortunately, none of these Japanese soldiers could understand Chinese, so naturally we could not answer their questions, because even if we answered them, they would not understand...
It is obvious that the Japanese would still recognize our military uniforms, so they waved their hands and let them go without saying anything.
Victory is right in front of me! When I stepped into the gate of the barracks, I couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The little Japanese scattered most of the troops on the buildings around the barracks, and the interior must be empty. In other words, being able to get here means that we are half successful!
However, what surprised me was that when I followed the troops into the barracks, I suddenly found that there were people everywhere on the playground. After looking closely, I couldn't help but feel relieved. It turned out that most of the Japanese expatriates and wounded came to take refuge.
It has been said that this area has become the Japanese concession for decades. During this period, Japanese people have been moving from their own country to live. After decades of accumulation, there have been a lot of people. At this moment, they have no time to transfer at the beginning of the war, so the barracks have become their refuge...
How should we fight this battle? Do these Japanese expatriates start fighting? We are not as cruel as the little Japanese. We hate these little Japanese in our hearts, but when we really face these mostly unarmed women and children, we can't take action.
Let these people go without fighting? That is to expose our backs to them, which is undoubtedly very dangerous, especially those Japanese soldiers... Most of them have guns around them. We know the cruelty of the Japanese soldiers, so even the wounded soldiers cannot ignore their existence!
Let’s look at the other end of the playground, where there are barracks after building, including a four-story cement building and many guards guarding it. There are even two tanks patrolling downstairs. Needless to think about it, it’s where the Japanese Army’s garrison headquarters is located.
Looking at the machine guns around the barracks... I couldn't help but frown. Although there were not many Japanese troops in the barracks, the playground was empty and there was no danger to defend. Tanks and machine guns would undoubtedly cause a large amount of damage to our troops. If they could defend for a long time and wait for the surrounding Japanese troops to come to hear the sound, the barracks would even become a cage surrounding our troops!
While the Education Chief and I were hesitating, several Japanese expatriates who seemed to be pestering the Japanese army for food reminded me: Why not use these Japanese expatriates? Although they are also common people, they can even be said to live in our country, but they have never taken us Chinese seriously with the support of the Japanese army, and they are not good things! Besides, I am not killing them as cruelly as the Japanese army, I am just using them...
Thinking of this, I immediately lowered my voice and said to the Education Chief: "Scare those people to cause riots and drive them to the Japanese defense line!"
The Chief of Education was also a smart person. He quickly understood what I meant. After nodding, he made several gestures to the officers behind him... So the troops quickly dispersed from both sides and leaned towards the people on the playground.
But those people were completely unaware that their enemies were walking towards them step by step with hatred eyes!
