Chapter 1453 Chasing the Murderer (Part 1)
It was hot in the summer. Even though it was already night and the cool wind was blowing in the mountains, the mountain elves still felt like there was a fire in their lungs and their mouths were thirsty.
The water in the military canteen hanging around his waist was already running out. In the night, Akagi Shigeno turned on the flashlight wrapped in linen and used the extremely weak light to survey the terrain. He confirmed that there would be a mountain stream not far from this hill, and then he headed there according to the direction he remembered.
The special attack team needed to attack in small groups, and survival in the wild was a must-training project. In order to train the team members, Akagi Shigeno, as an instructor and team leader, once lived alone in the Shirakami Mountains in northern Japan for a month.
With only a gun and a saber and a little rice and refined salt, Major Akagi made a living by hunting birds and squirrels in the nearly primitive forest and small fish and shrimps in the stream. This was a training subject that had never been in the Japanese Army manual.
But Major Akagi succeeded. Although he lost 15 kilograms in a month of survival alone in the wild, his physical fitness still remained at 70% of his peak period, and he was fully capable of continuing to fight.
Before leaving, he even shot a grouse that was leisurely combing its feathers on a branch 300 meters away in the nearly primitive birch forest, and made himself a delicious roast chicken dinner.
This kind of work of running wildly in the mountains and looking for water in the dark was not too difficult for the Japanese Army Major.
What's more, he had already set foot in this forest a day ago, and his super memory allowed him to determine its approximate location even in the dark.
It didn't take long for the Japanese Army Major, who had enough experience in surviving in the wild, to hear the sound of the gurgling stream water hitting the stones.
He carefully observed the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual except the chirping of insects in the mountains.
He scooped up the clear water from the mountain stream and put it into his mouth, which greatly relieved the burning heat in his lungs that was like a fire.
Logically speaking, although these mountain streams are underground springs flowing out of caves in the mountains, they are clean enough to be used as drinking water, but there are many microorganisms in them, which can easily cause diarrhea. This is definitely a fatal mistake for a person who is still running for his life.
But at the moment, Major Akagi did not have the courage to light a bonfire in the mountains to boil the water. The bright flames are likely to attract the search and pursuit of the Chinese army.
Yes, less than 30 minutes after Major Akagi left, a large number of Chinese reinforcements arrived.
From the telescope, Akagi Shigen saw countless figures in dark blue uniforms pouring into the mountains. He did not hesitate to shrink into the grass and run away at a faster speed.
However, he himself did not know whether he was afraid of the devil who killed dozens of his elite soldiers, or the thousands of Chinese who arrived here.
Major Akagi underestimated the anger of General Li. It was not thousands, but the Chinese soldiers who had to add a zero after the unit of measurement of thousands.
In order to search for these daring attackers, the Fifth War Zone dispatched a whole guard division and five infantry regiments, and ordered the 33rd Army stationed in Yuan'an to block all mountain roads leading to Yiling.
The 67th Army in Baokang also added sentries to the mountain roads connecting Jingshan and Dabashan. One army and one infantry army each used three regiments to completely block the two directions that could be taken in this mountainous area.
Of course, there is another direction, which is to go directly to Nanzhang, which is why Tang Tuanzuo chose to pass through here, because it is the temporary station of the Four-Line Regiment.
If the attacker wants to play the dark under the lamp, the most dangerous place is the safest, then it depends on whether he can escape the search of the Four-Line Regiment with all the main forces dispatched.
Akagi Shigen was not that stupid. He chose to flee to Yiling. Although the journey was difficult and dangerous, the complex terrain also blocked the sight of the Chinese. Moreover, he left 60 elite soldiers there to pick him up. That was a way out for himself before he set out.
Akagi Shigen had long thought about how intense the pursuit would be after killing Tang Dao. He just didn't expect his opponent to be so strong, which not only caused him to fail to complete the task, but also turned him from hunter to prey.
Sprinkling the cool mountain spring water gently on his face, he tried to make his brain clearer. Akagi Shigen, who always felt a sense of danger lingering around, had decided not to stay in the mountains tonight, but to move forward overnight and find a secluded place to rest for 3 hours to recover his strength during the day.
After washing his face, Akagi Shigen habitually reached for the American Garand rifle on the right side of his body.
There were no less than ten semi-automatic rifles of this type that the Americans had equipped in the mid-1930s in the Eagle Special Forces.
In order to enable the Eagle Special Forces to use various firearms proficiently, with the support of the lieutenant general of the NCO school, the Eagle Special Forces' weapons warehouses are stocked with rifles from the German Empire, the United States, the British Empire, and even the Bear Country.
Akagi Shigeno doesn't like the semi-automatic rifles of the Americans very much. Although they have fierce firepower, they are too heavy and have a lot of recoil. Especially when loading bullets, if the fingers are not pulled fast enough, the thumb will easily change color, which is simply a test of the hardness of the soldier's finger bones.
But there is no way. Lieutenant General Itagaki Shiro, the chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Force who is in charge of the "Tora! Tora!" plan, insists on using this kind of firearm, on the grounds that the firepower surpasses everything.
Perhaps only Itagaki Shiro knows the inner reason better.
Fortunately, although this gun is a bit heavy, its trajectory is extremely stable. After installing a scope, it can accurately shoot the opponent at a distance of 500 meters. It can also rely on fierce firepower to repel the enemy in close combat. Therefore, when fleeing, Akagi Shigemori threw away the Type 38 sniper rifle with a longer effective range and chose this exotic gun.
The reason why the rifle was placed on the right side was naturally because Akagi Shigemori's dominant hand was the right hand, and his reaction speed was a little faster than the left hand.
The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Even if it is only 1 second ahead, it may be one step ahead of the enemy. Kill the enemy and you can survive.
Akagi Shigemori is obviously a person who pays great attention to details!
At the moment when his hand just grasped the rifle leaning against the stone.
The panting sound of "Hu! Hu!" came from about 20 meters away from Akagi Shigemori.
The Japanese Army Major looked up and saw a pair of green light bulbs flashing in the night more than 20 meters away.
Akagi Shigen's eyes suddenly became stern.
He knew that it was not a wolf!
A wolf would not pant so much to alert its prey.
It could only be a dog!
And if it was a dog, it meant that people would come too.
His hand reached for the rifle at a faster speed.
"If I were you, I would not do such a futile move!" A metallic voice suddenly sounded in the dark night.
The voice came from behind Akagi Shigen.
Akagi Shigen's hand suddenly froze.
Although his right hand was less than 10 centimeters away from the rifle, his hand froze in mid-air, not daring to move an inch.
"We have been running for nearly 3 hours, Major Akagi, do you think you are still carrying this 3-kilogram Garand rifle? Aren't you tired? I advise you not to take it anymore. If you travel light, you may have more chances to run out of this mountain." The voice sounded again.
The night suddenly became extremely quiet. At that moment, the constant chirping of insects in the mountains seemed far away in the sky. Only the relatively steady breathing of the Japanese Army Major and the suddenly accelerated heartbeat were left.
Of course, that was only in Akagi Shigeno's own senses.
After a long time, the Japanese Army Major's hand, which was frozen in the air, gently dropped, and there was no other movement.
"Major Akagi is indeed from the Japanese island country. As expected, he listened to the advice of the master and stopped trying. By the way, I heard that you islanders are very polite. You must bend down and bow 90 degrees when you meet. Come and bow for me to see!" As the voice was spoken, a tall black shadow walked out from behind a rock six meters away.
Although the opponent teased him, Akagi Shigeno remained motionless, like a robot that had lost its energy battery.
??????55.??????
As the two light bulbs approached, the Japanese Army Major finally confirmed his guess. His guess was not wrong at all. It was a dog!
A big dog!
A really big dog!
As it walked, its golden hair rolled slightly in the mountain breeze, showing the power hidden in the body of this big dog weighing at least 80 kilograms.
This dog may not be able to compete with tigers and leopards, but just looking at its fearless eyes and wide mouth, you can tell that its combat power is far superior to that of a lone wolf.
The Japanese Army Major knew better that the man behind him could catch up with him, and this dog must have played a big role.
"Okay, don't be so scared. Major Akagi Shigeno, the captain and instructor of the Eagle Special Attack Team, graduated from the Munich Military Academy. He is the first person in the Japanese Army to propose special operations theory and has a record of killing targets at a distance of 580 meters. The bullet holes on the chests of my three brothers are all the masterpieces of the Major." The tall figure made a faint voice.
"If it weren't for you, I might not have left the remains of my fallen brothers and fled into the mountains, because I don't want my men to be shot by you again."
"Also, you'd better keep your left hand in check. Although the moonlight is blocked by the tree canopy you used, the tension in your left arm muscles causes your center of gravity to shift to the left. Didn't you hear the sound of the pebbles under your feet being stressed?
Let me guess why? Oh! It turns out that Major Akagi put the rifle on his right side just to tell the opponent who might see all this that your dominant hand is your right hand, but in fact, Major Akagi has trained both hands almost perfectly in more than ten years of military training. More, even, Major Akagi, you are a left-handed person, and your left hand reacts faster.
For example, you may have a small pistol in your sleeve. As long as you are given a second to breathe, you will use the pocket pistol controlled by your left hand to deal with the enemy who is pointing a gun at you at close range.
Tsk tsk! Although your special operations concept is a bit rough, I have to say that you are the most talented Japanese special forces soldier I have ever seen, including and not limited to now! "
"Your military dog has a strong sense of smell. I have already relied on wading through the stream to eliminate my smell and traces, but I was still tracked. "Akagi Shigeaki suddenly said.
"Of course. Hammer is a hybrid of my Chinese native dog. Major Akagi left too much of your smell in your camp. Hammer could smell it even from three miles away. And you were a little too impatient, Major Akagi. You chose to go ashore after only trekking 1,382 meters in the mountain stream. This is what it means to fail at the last moment." The tall figure replied calmly.
As if in response to his master's praise, the hammer, which was within ten meters of Akagi Shigesen, grinned and its thick tail wagged.
Only Akagi Shigeru could feel that the ferocious big dog's attention was still on him. As long as he made any move, it would definitely pounce on him.
"How are my subordinates?" Akagi Shigesen raised his hand, turned around slowly and calmly, and stared at his opponent who seemed to have the upper hand.
Today is the 17th day of the Chinese lunar calendar. Although the moon is not as round as the previous two days, the weather is fine and there are no dark clouds to block it. The moonlight is like water and the visibility is more than 10 meters.
Under the moonlight, the face of the tall figure was clearly visible, but it was smeared with black mud. No matter how hard Akagi Shigesen focused his eyes, he could not clearly see the features of this opponent who had walked out of the darkness for a long time.
Although he also knew that this was a psychological attack by his opponent using words to attack him, he was just trying to get the information he wanted before killing himself.
"Of course they are dead! You left 12 good hands to stop me. In order to prevent you from running too far, I will stay up all night chasing you. They will have no choice but to die." Da Ma Jin Dao was on a stone The opponent who sat down held a pistol in his hand and pointed it at the Japanese Army Major with his hands raised, and said in an extremely calm tone.
It seems that 12 human lives are just 12 ants in this person's eyes.
"Since they are all dead, how does Mr. Tang Dao know that I am Akagi Shigexian?" Cold sweat began to break out on Akagi Shigexian's back, but his face remained calm enough.
Although it is hard to believe, the Japanese Army Major had to admit that the secret of his identity could only be revealed by the 12 people who were left to stop the enemy.
The arrival of the Eagle Commando in China is a top secret in the Japanese Army. Even the generals of the 11th Army who cooperated with him only knew that he had the rank of major, but did not know his name and origin.
Except for the devil Tang Dao, I'm afraid there is no one else coming. If the Chinese are so scary, the empire may not even see the Chinese border and be beaten back.
Even from the pride in his heart, Akagi Shigesen was only willing to admit that the person in front of him was Tang Dao.
"Of course dead people can't talk, but living people can. Although the special forces you trained are good at marksmanship and fighting skills, they are still somewhat lacking in psychological stress resistance. This is an area where your Eagle Special Forces training program must improve. ." As if he had already guessed the reaction of the Japanese Army Major, the figure who couldn't see his face clearly did not deny it, but replied calmly.
Because, he is Tang Dao, and he is guaranteed to be fake!
How could he go back to see his 13 brothers who died in the battle if he didn't catch the commander of the Japanese special attack brigade in person?
"In front of two Japanese whose hands and feet I had broken, when I completely peeled off the face of a Japanese whom I had captured alive, the two of them were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot. With this kind of psychological quality, What kind of special forces are you? They are so fragile, even worse than the ordinary Japanese infantrymen I encountered."
"You" Akagi Shigesen's heart trembled.
He thought about how his men would be tortured if they were caught, but he didn't expect the Chinese to be so vicious.
"There is no way. If I didn't need to obtain your information and abilities, Mr. Akagi, within half an hour, I would definitely bring these three to the station of our Four Elements Regiment and cook them for 3 days and 3 nights, and then chop off all their hands and feet. If you pluck out your eyes, mouth and nose and raise them in a pig pen, you will be made into a human pig and live for ten or eight years, even if I, Tang Dao, lose." Tang Dao looked at the Japanese Army Major with his pupils shrunken and sighed slightly.
I sigh that my time is really limited and I can’t make it in time.
In a TV series, this is exactly what the villain said.
As the saying goes: Villains die by talking too much! But Tang Dao, who was full of anger, had no such scruples at all today.
Because, within ten miles, the only Japanese was standing in front of him.
He was going to talk a lot today to overwhelm this little villain, otherwise how could his violent aura dissipate? If his anger does not dissipate, he will not be able to help but kill people, those who are hiding behind the scenes to design him!
However, he will not kill people at will until the truth is found out!
Those people, even if they deserve to be killed, they must be killed in such a way that some people have trouble sleeping and eating!
"It makes no sense for you to threaten me with this. I have the poison given by the Koga-ryu elder. Once it is triggered, I will die within 30 seconds. Amaterasu will not be able to save me." Akagi Shigeson listened to the ancient Chinese swordsmanship. The most vicious punishment, the expression on his face gradually calmed down.
If a person is not even afraid of death, then no matter how cruel the punishment, it will not threaten him.
"Your Excellency Akagi would really regard death as such? Then I'll wait and see!" Tang Dao nodded unhurriedly.
"Come on, Sir Akagi, I can crush the poison sac in your teeth. It may not mean much to bring a corpse back, but I can soak your lifeless skin in formalin, and then remove the private parts." , and after a few years of war, they were transported to various parts of our country for display, telling the whole world that the first generation of special forces captain of the Japanese Empire was actually a eunuch.
No, it should be said that they are all eunuchs. I will remove the private parts of these corpses, take photos, and write a song. The lyrics are like this. If the Japanese want to succeed, they must first commit suicide! "
"King Louis XV once said: After I die, there will be no need to worry about the flood! Your Excellency, your move is too inferior." Akagi's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about his opponent's extremely vicious threat.
However, a drop of sweat still rolled down his forehead uncontrollably!
