Rebirth of the National Marshal

He touched his water bottle and realized that it had been pierced by a bullet. There was no water left. He picked it up and licked it on his lips a few times, which gave him some comfort.

Look at the others, they are much better than me. The captain in the distance even had his sword soaked in water, and his whole body was black. You know, she usually loves cleanliness the most. One day, she asked me to prepare water for washing her face twice, but she still hasn't washed her face. It's good enough that she can save her life.

Looking at the brigade commander over there, I heard that he, like me, was born in an ordinary family and always carried the sword given to him by the Emperor, but now it can't be found!

"You guys hurry up and look around for water and food. After we have eaten, we need to hurry on our way. Be careful not to be discovered by the pursuers. If you are discovered, don't come back and die with them..." The brigade's chief of staff had been killed, and the one who was speaking now was the deputy chief of staff.

The brigade commander has already lost his soul, so such arrangements can only be made by the deputy chief of staff. Look at the brigade commander's face, there is no trace of his usual high spirits, his eyes are staring forward with lifeless and empty eyes, like a dull guy.

In fact, to be honest, when the war has reached this point, no one wants to go out to find food, because any small action may cost one's life. It is relatively safer to be with everyone. Several groups of people have gone out to find food on the road, and basically none of them have returned.

Originally, Koizumi was not arranged to go out to find food, but at this time he suddenly had an idea and automatically joined the team. In his opinion, this team of only dozens of people was still too large. If he wanted to escape, following them would only lead to death. The tank troops on the ground might not be able to catch up, but the bombers in the sky could come at any time.

It was simply impossible for a team of 60 or 70 people to avoid being discovered by the planes in the sky. If they were discovered by those people, wouldn't they be dead? It would be better to take these guys and run away.

Where can we find food in this desolate mountain? Is it really difficult for people? Koizumi originally thought that if he could find food, it would be better to take it back, after all, we are all from the same country, but looking at the current situation outside, no one can find food.

There is not even a village. If there were a village, they would definitely go in and rob it. Now it is all wasteland with nothing in the ground.

Just when a few people were aimlessly looking for food, they suddenly heard a life-threatening sound. It was the sound of tanks. Damn it, why were these tanks coming in front of us?

It turned out that these people were running too slowly and taking a small path, and they got lost once in the middle, and were just going in circles. Sun Liren's tank troops had already eliminated the infantry company in front, and the few tanks that returned now were all damaged and were ready to transport the wounded back.

"Get down right there, do you want to die?" Koizumi pulled a guy who was about to get up to the ground and slapped him. That guy was just an ordinary soldier. After discovering the enemy's tanks, shouldn't he have gone back to the brigade commander and told them to run away quickly?

"Captain, quickly notify the brigade commander and the others. If these tanks are allowed to get close, all of them will surely die..." The guy who was slapped said quickly, regardless of the pain on his face. This is what they were taught since childhood: they must die for the emperor and dedicate their lives to His Majesty the Emperor.

"You idiot, look carefully, they have more than a dozen tanks, and jeeps and so on. What's the use even if you go and tell the commander? Even though they are a unit transporting the wounded, their firepower is much stronger than ours. We will definitely be surrounded by them if we go there. Seeing that they haven't found us, lie down here and don't move. Wait until they are attracted by the brigade commander and go over, then we will start to run. If you don't want to go back to Japan and don't want to see your mother, then go..." It's true, these few words are very effective. The few recruits who had been clamoring to go over just now were silent. They were all kids around 19 years old, and they all wanted to go back to Japan one day and see their mothers.

"Platoon leader, you see there seem to be Japanese devils in that grove. Maybe we rushed in too fast and left these bastards behind." A young man standing on a jeep and operating a heavy machine gun saw it. He was also a new recruit who had just joined the army for less than two months, but he had already killed five Japanese devils in this battle.

"Damn it! We rushed in too fast and forgot about this guy. Brothers, grab your weapons and save him!" Following the order from the platoon leader, the team that was originally arranged in a long line immediately formed a battle formation. The heavy machine guns on the jeeps spoke first. They were to give directions to the tanks. Five or six tanks immediately bombarded the woods. The brigade commander inside didn't know what was going on. A shell blew it away and it fell directly on a tree.

But at this time he was already dead, his lower body was missing, and no one expected that he would die in this place. A major general, a Japanese major general, died like this.

The situation here was also seen by Koizumi and his men over there. Now these new recruits are grateful and believe in Koizumi's words. If they had run back just now, they would have been blown away by a shell before they could reach the brigade commander.

These Chinese people are really rich. We Japanese dare not fire artillery like this. We are not sure how many people are inside. We just fired dozens of shells. And look at the bullets for machine guns. Don’t they cost money? We just beat them up.

"It's too dangerous to walk during the day. Let's find a place to hide first, and then run to the northeast at night. If we want to go back during the day, it would be tantamount to seeking death. Besides, the team can't fight. Even if we meet our people in the middle, we can't take them with us. Just give them some things." Koizumi's fighting skills are not very good, but his ability to escape is pretty good. I don't know if these subjects are taught in Japanese military academies, otherwise how could he know so much.

Others couldn't accept it at first, but now they have basically accepted it. After all, saving their lives is the most important thing.
