Although the incident that happened to the Kwantung Army a month and a half ago was a secret, it was not as secret as the higher-ups thought. After all, Japan is so small, just a long and narrow island. How many people can there be on that island?
Two people who have never been related can be connected through seven or eight people, and the same is true for soldiers. Especially this is not something that can be covered up. When Takeuchi Renshan was working hard to build his killing fortress and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside,
Whispers had long circulated among the soldiers. At first, everyone simply dismissed the claims as false, a rumor, and absolutely unbelievable. But then more and more people came forward to testify. Hey, my cousin was in the Kwantung Army, too? Hey, my sister's eldest sister-in-law's younger sister's third uncle was also in the Kwantung Army? And what a coincidence! My third aunt's sister's seventh cousin's youngest son was also in the Kwantung Army!
Another example is Yamaguchi Kenjiro, who was a sergeant when they last met, and has now become a promising warrant officer. He thought the nightmare he had long since left behind reappeared in a letter from home. His sister's husband Nohara was brutally murdered. When Kenjiro saw the letter, he recognized the method from his sister's confusing description.
He also knew what Nohara had done, but he didn't know much. He originally thought that the gods had let them go long ago, but in fact, they hadn't. As long as they were still here, the gods or the devil would never let them go. So since he received the letter, he began to panic all day long.
So much so that he started doing his old job again, and every time he fell asleep, there was always a pair of invisible eyes staring at him in his sleep, as if saying, "I'm always watching you~!"
In this way, the ghost legends that had disappeared in the Takeuchi League began to intensify. A considerable number of people believed that they should also return home quickly like the Kwantung Army, and Amaterasu would protect them in their hometown.
As long as they stay here, sooner or later they will be killed one by one by the Chinese ghosts and gods in their sleep, and they won't even be able to save their own heads. No one wants to die in ignorance. They are also human beings.
Especially for some people who were really scared to death after sleeping, stories that happened around them obviously seem more convincing.
Anti-war thoughts and retreat speeches were all the rage. When the bigwigs were trying to seize the last opportunity to make money, the undercurrent was becoming uncontrollable in the invisible places.
Especially in the divisions of all sizes on the southern and northern fronts, things became increasingly uncontrollable as time went on. Some officers had already noticed it, but they themselves were also afraid, so how could they have the time to care about others?
This kind of thinking even influenced a large number of young officers and soldiers like Yamaguchi Kenjiro, who questioned whether it was necessary to continue the war.
The most crucial thing is that the recent international situation has become increasingly tense, the international anti-fascist situation is in full swing, victory has become an elusive moon in the water, and even the lowest-level soldiers no longer have hope for victory. All they want is to survive this war and live until the day they return home.
Not all of them are fanatical warmongers, most of them are just ordinary people who are forced into the quagmire of war.
Takeuchi Renzan is wholeheartedly focused on his great cause. His arrogance as an intellectual and the ignorance of the aristocracy leave him no time to care about the darkness hidden on the other side of the matter. A mutiny is brewing in his team, and all it needs is a spark.
And right now, at this very moment, when Yamaguchi Kenjiro led his soldiers to charge towards the enemy that had emerged from nowhere in their regiment commander's headquarters, he heard that voice again, and he saw that man again.
A moment of trembling made him lose all means of resistance, until a sharp pain awakened his body. He saw his eyes being stepped on by the ghost that appeared in front of him again. He looked at the other eye that was already broken under his feet with one eye.
Those black and red eyes that often appeared in his dreams, and that devil's sword that brought death.
He ran, the first to run, even abandoning the saber in his hand. Covering his eyes that were bleeding from lack of something, he wanted nothing more than to stay alive and leave. Why did they come here? He wanted to go home!
One person's scream led to a group of people screaming. Apparently, the headless corpse on the ground brought back a wave of very bad memories. In their memories, only one person would do this, and Yamaguchi Kenjiro was not the only one who had that dream.
When Shuo Yu was holding the Changfeng to block the enemy, he was also a little confused looking at the fleeing enemy. He was a little confused and stunned for a while. Then he was knocked on the head by Si La Si La, who sorted out the defense line and rearranged the firepower deployment.
Arranging defenses and deploying firepower in such a strange tree is not an easy task.
Shuo Yu covered his head, feeling very painful. He looked at his cracked palm at the same time. He put Chang Feng back on his back, tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his hand twice, then began to clean up the bodies at the scene.
The Japanese threw theirs outside or dropped them outside the sandbags, where they served an insignificant purpose, while their own were dragged by him to the morgue in the basement.
Si La Si La looked at the whistle in his hand, scratched his head with the shotgun that might go off at any time, and was a little confused. Then he looked at Ban Xian'er whose body was splattered with blood, shook his head, and thought that if they couldn't figure it out, they should not think about it. What they should do now is not to think about their enemies and why they left.
