Chapter 13 Fierce Battle in Thirteen Forests

After a day and a night of heavy rain, the entire mountain forest showed a washed-out emerald green.The thick military boots of the Japanese army stepped on the soil full of moisture, leaving messy footprints and a sense of tension that the war was coming. The wooden sign of the Kamada Detachment Headquarters was written in vigorous Chinese characters, hanging on the most conspicuous place of the doorpost.The original Wushe sub-office has now become a command center where Japanese military officers shuttle frequently.On both sides of the big table in the conference hall, there are now two rows of military and police cadres sitting upright. Captain Gaojing is following a map of the Wushe area, briefing on the sphere of influence occupied by Mona Ludao's group of rebels, and the relationship with them. Confronting military and police deployments.

Sitting at the head of the conference table, a high-ranking officer with obvious signs of weathering on his face and thinning hair, only gray sideburns, was Major General Kamata Yahiko, the commander-in-chief of the Kamata Detachment.The traces of the rain are still clearly printed on Kamada's straight military uniform. He was ordered by the army headquarters to take advantage of the heavy rain, bring supplies, ammunition and troops, and rush all the way from Puli to Wushe to take over all the crusade against the rebels matter.Kamada concentrated on watching the situation on the map. While listening to the report, he recorded what he saw and heard in his head. Although he had just arrived in Wusha not long ago, he had already put himself into a state of preparation for battle.

commander!This is Huaze Police Department, a local policeman in Wushe, who is quite familiar with the situation in Wushe area. Next, I would like to invite him to report to the officers about the mobilization against the Fans.Under the recommendation of Captain Takai, a tall, thin middle-aged policeman with thin-rimmed glasses stood up from the table. His full name was Shigejiro Huazawa, and he was an experienced inspector in the Wusha area. He speaks fluent aboriginal dialect, and often drinks with aboriginal people, and has considerable experience in dealing with aboriginal affairs. Facing Commander Kamada, Hua Ze looked very nervous.

Since you are a policeman from Wushe, why are you still alive?Before Hua Ze started to report, Kamada stared at him with the small eyes on his round face, and asked questions in a rather arrogant tone. Report to the commander, I was not at the venue when the incident happened.Hua Ze replied tremblingly. is that so?Kamata clasped his fingers and put his hand on the table in front of him, his fat belly touched the edge of the table.Well, tell me how many people in that group of students rose up to rebel? Yes, Huaze cleared his throat stiffly, Commander, according to our investigation, there are only six tribes participating in the rebellion this time, and the mobilized soldiers are about 300.

warrior?You call them fighters?Kamada frowned, dissatisfied with Hua Ze's words. Uh, Hua Ze was embarrassed and continued: In the early morning of the 27th, each tribe acted separately, annihilated the local garrison, and then gathered together to besiege Wushe, so we judge that this is not a sudden barbaric massacre by the Abbes. It was not drafted, but planned in detail from the beginning. Detailed plan?Kamada sneered: Mr. Hua Ze, do you overestimate these barbarians? Commander, when Hanazawa was embarrassed by the Commander's dismissive attitude, Police Captain Takai stood up from his seat and defended Hanazawa.As a matter of fact, yesterday our various support units suffered serious assaults in Wushe and adjacent areas, and they used their familiarity with the terrain to engage us in guerrilla warfare.It is said that Mona Ludo, the head of the rebellion led by the Tibetans, had visited Japan before, and was famous for his combat skills in the Wushe area. I have enough reasons to believe that the raid on Wushe by the Tibetans was a planned attack.

Fans are Fans!Kamada suddenly tapped on the table with his hand.Their behavior is just the barbaric behavior of animals. There is nothing to be afraid of. When the rain stops, they will immediately use mountain artillery and machine guns to besiege those Tibetan communities participating in the rebellion! But Commander∣∣ There's nothing wrong with it, I don't believe that Japan's sophisticated army can't deal with three hundred uncivilized savages!Kamada stood up, pointed to the map and said to all the officers: We will completely wipe out Mona Ludo and Rebellion from here, here and here!

Everyone looked at Kamada's hand and clearly drew three routes on the map. One passed through Taluo Bay, one passed through He Ge Society, and the other passed through Bo A Long Society. All three routes pointed to Mahepo where Mona was. society. yes!Everyone answered neatly, their faces full of confidence, only a few police officers who had experienced the attack of Seediq showed worried expressions. Everything is silent, only the sound of the Mahepo River running under the moonlight in the distance, which brings a little contrast to this quiet night.The small fire tried its best to resist the boundless darkness around it. Sitting by the fire, Bavanawi looked sad and held a rifle as a night watchman.

The sound of the clansman's sleeping came from the big grotto behind him.In this wild place that even the Mahepo people do not often visit, the power of nature has carved many caves of different sizes and depths on the rock walls of the rolling valleys. Some of these caves can accommodate thirty or forty people. Hiding together, some only allow one person to live, and one of the large caves, about two meters wide and ten meters deep, is the Mahepo Grottoes that Mona used as his final base. For the Sediq people, these caves, which are usually forgotten in the dense jungle, are now God-given barriers for the anti-Japanese people to live temporarily.The front of these hidden caves is the turbulent Mahepo River valley, and the back is a smooth cliff. In addition, the location is deep in the hidden valley of Mt. Suffering is possible.

The raindrops that used to be as big as soybeans are now only drizzle. When the cold wind blows, the dense arrow bamboo beside the stream makes a squeaky sound, adding to a sad atmosphere. Farewell, my child! Bhawan kept thinking of the scene where his mother kissed him before leaving.Ever since his mother's back disappeared in the rainy forest, Bawan felt that his heart was not beating, and the position on his left chest was always empty, and it was the kind of hollow that would echo loudly when throwing a stone into it. Bawan felt his eyes burning hot, but he couldn't shed any tears. For him, who was still young, facing the death of his relatives for the first time was like facing a slippery high wall. Climbing hard, the wall should be easy to jump over. Unexpectedly, his hands and feet could not grasp any point of strength. Whenever he tried to climb over the feeling of being hollowed out, he felt that he Sliding further down, Bawan looked down, and the original ground had become an invisible abyss, and his body kept sinking into a darker place. Even though he stepped on the ground firmly in reality, his feeling still remained. Like falling.

What is the vigil doing in a daze?The sudden sound made Bhavan startled, he blinked his sore eyes, and looked back at Mo Na standing behind him. Boss Mo Na, are you awake?Bhawan felt a little embarrassed about his trance state. Soon, there will be a long, long time to sleep, no need to rush to sleep now!Mona took out his pipe, lit a match, and breathed out depressing white smoke towards the dark clouds in the sky. Bawan looked up at Mona's expressionless face and knew he was in a bad mood.Ever since he learned that most of the women and children in Mahepo hanged themselves collectively, Mo Na's face became even more grim than before.

Boss Mona, can you lend me∣∣Bhawan took out a pipe from his belt, facing Mona, compared the tobacco and matches in his hand. Hmph, Mo Na made a disapproving noise with his nose, but still handed over the things to Bawan, you are the most daring in the whole Mahepo, dare to borrow a lot of things from me and not return them. I will pay you back, after killing all the Japanese!Bawan lit the cigarette, his pipe was a gift from Bashaou after he finished the tattoo. snort.Mona made the same nasal sound again. cough!Bhavan, who smoked for the first time, coughed due to the inhalation of the smoke. Mona looked at him with contempt until Bhavan finally got used to the smell of tobacco. Boss Mo Na, why do you never show a scared expression?Bhawan asked suddenly, wiping away tears from his violent coughing. Because I'm always scared!Mona replied after pondering for a while. afraid of what? Scared I would be scared!Mona's words were as profound as the night in front of him, Bawan scratched his head, seeming to understand but not understanding. Boss Mona, people don't feel pain when they die, right?Bhavan changed the subject.The old and the young, who were smoking, looked at each other in silence. Suddenly, Mo Na stretched out his hand without warning, and rubbed the tattoo on Bawan's face vigorously. Bawan cried out in pain on the spot. The wound that had healed A little more blood came out. Pain!Boss, the wound is not healed yet! Mo Na slightly raised the corner of his mouth, looking at the seemingly precocious but still immature boy in front of him, he wanted to reach out and touch Ba Wan's head, but he held back. Boss, will my mother and the others really wait for us on the Rainbow Bridge?Bhavan asked again. When a person's problems continue to arise one after another, it is actually a manifestation of anxiety.Mona knew that Bhawan, who had just lost his mother, needed comfort the most, but looking at Bhawan's pleading face, he would rather be a cruel eagle and push Bhavan, who was still flying unsteadily, off the cliff .Mona knows that the fastest way for a person to grow is to let him learn to face sadness and then kill it, just like everyone is learning how to deal with pain.Mona's indifference was exchanged for a moment of silence, and gradually, Bhawan's crying sounded in the air. Don't act like a baby, you are no longer a child!Mona poured out the ashes from the pipe and said to Bhavan in an emotionless voice.Bawan held back his choked voice, and watched Mo Na turn and walk back into the dark grotto. Losing Mo's tall figure, Bhawan returned to his loneliness again. He hated his own weakness in his heart, but what's the use of hating?Who says that weakness is always an inseparable part of human nature, and no one can be exempted! On October 31, the sky was still cloudy, but the rain had completely stopped.According to the resolution of the Mahepo meeting, the Sediq people waited for the arrival of the Japanese army in their respective positions. The fully equipped Japanese military police followed the order of Commander Kamada and attacked Maheposhe from three directions.As the main force of the Kamada Detachment, the Matsui Brigade first went to several rebellious tribes outside Mahepo and bombarded them with mountain artillery for an hour. All fighters had already moved their positions from the Horde to the surrounding forest, so they suffered little damage.Without encountering much resistance, the Matsui brigade successively captured several tribes close to Wushe, such as Rodolph, Hege, Sku, and Taro Bay, but this was exactly what Mona hoped. It is necessary to constantly use guerrilla warfare to seize weapons and ammunition, and the enemy is the biggest advantage. Hmph, wait a minute, as soon as I find any traces of the Fan people, I will make them eat machine gun bullets!Along the Zhuoshui River Valley, the Japanese army built several bunkers on the commanding heights, and powerful machine guns were set up in these bunkers, pointing their muzzles in the direction of Ma Hepo. The two Japanese soldiers hiding in the bunker talked and laughed with each other, not realizing that danger was creeping towards them.I heard that there were only three or four hundred Tibetans who rebelled. I think we can kill almost all of them by shooting casually, haha! That's right, it's like this da da da da da da ∣∣ The soldier in charge of firing the machine gun held the gun and pretended to be shooting, having a great time. Da da da da da da ∣∣ Surprisingly, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out. Before the two Japanese soldiers could figure out what happened, their bodies had already been hit by machine gun bullets fired from a nearby bunker. Beehive. Hey!What are you doing?The other machine gun squads scattered in the mountains heard the sound of shooting and checked to see what happened. In the bunker where the shooting was fired, the two Japanese soldiers who were attacked were lying in a pool of blood and died of exhaustion.The person who fired the bullet was Dadaou who sneaked into the Japanese camp.Seeing that the Japanese soldiers in the bunker next door had been shot dead, Dadao quickly put down the trigger, and he and Sabo were working together to remove the bulky machine gun, with another strong man from Mahepo carrying the ammunition beside him. ah!It's a fan!Fans came to grab our machine guns!Another team consisting of Timona and Vardan rushed into the messy bunker shot by Dadao, snatching precious machine guns and ammunition.At this time, in the Japanese camp in the distance, someone picked up a binoculars to observe, found that something was wrong, and shouted loudly. Don't let them get away, shoot fast! All the machine guns started shooting wildly at Dadaou and others. Fortunately, the Seediq fighters did not waste any time. They grabbed their weapons and ran into the forest. The big trees in the forest were under the powerful firepower of the machine guns, and they dropped leaves and branches one after another. A maple tree was even cut off in the middle, and red leaves were flying all over the sky immediately, as if they were shedding blood instead of Dadaou and the others. At the same time that Dadao attacked the Japanese machine gun team, the prelude to the battle was also unfolding on the Tarot Bay Highlands in the south of the Tarot Bay Society.A group of Japanese infantry with the words Nagano Squad embroidered on their armbands marched in a straight line through the woods. They were the advance troops that entered the sphere of influence of the barbarians immediately after the artillery bombardment.Traces of artillery fire can be seen everywhere in the forest, and the air is full of the pungent smell of gunpowder. Fortunately, it rained heavily the day before, and the damp trees did not ignite the fire due to the shelling. combustion. Stepping on the enemy's territory, Yongye's team moved slowly like a snail, and any swaying of branches and leaves caused by a gust of wind made their hearts throb. There is movement∣∣ The soldier walking in the front stopped suddenly, and he saw several Sediq figures wearing white turbans flashing past among the trees.There are shadows of the barbarians ahead, everyone hurry up! The soldiers of the Yongye team were like hounds smelling the smell of hares, excitedly chasing the flickering figures ahead.They ran on the rugged mountain trails, and their feet often staggered due to protruding roots and stones, but even if they were not moving fast, the figure of the Sediq people always kept a close distance from them. The Japanese followed closely to a forest with relatively sparse forests. They were excited and only wanted to kill.It’s just that the Sediqs are as cunning as foxes. Once they entered the woods, all the figures in white clothes disappeared as if the dew had evaporated. On the contrary, there was a group of black uniforms holding the banner of the Yamada Police Team in front of them, coming from the other side of the woods. One side approached the Yongye team. Are you also chasing the murderer? yes!What about people?When the two parties met unexpectedly, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, confused by the situation in front of them. Japanese, you die. While the Japanese army was in a daze, a creepy battle cry suddenly spread out in the cold air of the woods.The ghost-like Seediqs appeared one by one from the tree trunks and behind the rocks, and the barrels of each of their hands were aimed at a target. Oops, ambushed! Whether it was the Japanese soldiers or the police in the woods, they all fell into panic and chaos.Amidst the sound of gunfire one after another, the bullets bloomed bright red flowers on the body of the Japanese.Almost none of the soldiers standing on the outermost perimeter were spared, while the other military police who were not hit began to flee to the east where the firepower of the Fans was weaker. They were forced to run up an uphill mountain road, and there were still ambushes on both sides of the mountain road. The Sediqs opened fire, and the number of Japanese fallen grew every moment. Ah, there is a cliff ahead! Chased by the god of death, the military police came to the end of the mountain road and looked desperately at the tens of meters high cliff in front of them. The rushing Taluowan River looked like a fluttering white ribbon under their feet. There is no other way, find cover on the spot to counterattack, the signal soldier, request support by radio!The gunshots behind him never stopped, and Captain Nagano hurriedly hid himself on the slope at the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, there was a large sunken place on the edge of the cliff that could provide cover, and the Japanese team could use this to hide behind trees and rocks. The anti-Japanese people shot at each other. With the geographical advantage, the Sediq successfully led the enemy into the trap and gave them a severe blow. Unfortunately, they did not have enough ammunition to annihilate the Japanese troops in one fell swoop with superior firepower.However, despite this, Mona's guerrilla strategy was still successful!The Japanese army fell into the quagmire at the beginning of the war on the highlands of Tarot Bay. This unexpected situation made Commander Kamada, who was guarding Wushe, furious. Report to the commander that the Nagano team and the Yamada police team were ambushed in the highlands of Taluowan, with heavy casualties. The Goto squadron attacking Boa Longsha was also attacked by the barbarians. Please send support immediately! hateful!First, the machine guns of the Mahepo Society were taken away, and now they were attacked by surprise. What the hell are those leading officers doing?Commander Kamada, who was listening to the briefing on the battle situation at the large cypress desk, was so annoyed by the constant negative news that he slammed his right fist on the table, issuing orders almost with a roar, and immediately dispatched the Matsui brigade to the tower. Luowan and Bo Along Society supported me, and the aircraft team and mountain artillery team were also on standby for me to bomb!Damn it, the majestic Japanese imperial army can't defeat a group of uncivilized creatures. Is your pride bitten away by dogs? The communications soldier conveyed Kamada's instructions with a grimace on his face, and the entire headquarters fell into a depression. Kamada had experienced countless glorious battles in his life, and he couldn't bear the taste of his troops' failure in this wild jungle. . Tadao boss, Dadao snatched two machine guns from the Japanese, and Mo Na boss asked us to send one to you, and your relatives from the Baranshe also asked us to send some sweet potatoes.On the highlands of Taluo Bay, more than 200 members of the Hege Club led by Ta Dao Nuogan are continuing to confront the Japanese troops of the Yongye team.Taking advantage of the gap between the firepower of both sides, Bavannawi and a group of Mahepo youths came to Tadao with heavy machine guns and ammunition supplies. Can you use this thing?Tadao hid behind a small mound, and was pleased with the support from Mahepo.After a fierce battle with the Japanese army just now, the young men of the He Ge Club managed to at least cause more than 30 Japanese military and police casualties, but their own ammunition consumption is also quite large. I saw Dadao take another machine gun and shoot the Japanese in Mahepo.Bhavan and the other teenagers set up the machine gun on the mound, and prepared to feed the bullets into the chamber according to the operation method of Dadaou in memory, but when Bhavan tried to pull the trigger of the machine gun, the trigger seemed to be stuck The same motionless. Strange, is this thing broken?Bhawan knocked on the body of the machine gun with his hand suspiciously, but he didn't know that the safety of the machine gun was off at this time. I'll give it a try!Behe Sapo pushed Bawan away and pulled the trigger with all his might, but the machine gun still remained completely silent, silent as if dead. Boss, this machine gun doesn't seem to be able to shoot out!Bihe Shabo tossed and tossed for a long time, wanting to use this powerful weapon to impress the Japanese, but he didn't expect the opposite. He could only surrender to the disobedient iron in front of him. Why did Mona give me a useless gun?Faced with such a situation, Tadao, who was originally beaming, lost his face. He also stepped forward and tried to pull the trigger, but the result was still the same, and he couldn't help losing his temper. Ta Dao hit the barrel of the machine gun heavily, and several teenagers looked frustrated. why is it like this!Bhawan is both disappointed and sorry. Forget it, you guys hurry back to Mahepo, thank you for bringing the food!Bihe comforted the group of teenagers who were trying to help, without any intention of blaming them. Bawan and others squatted back and crawled awkwardly. Before leaving, Bawan suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Tadao: Head of the Tower Road, your relatives in the Baran Society said that the entire head of your family has hanged yourself! What?Hearing this news, Tadao suddenly turned his head and stared at Bhavan, the stare full of astonishment lasted for a while, so long that Tadao forgot his words As early as the day of the incident, Tadao asked his wife to take everyone in the family to seek refuge with relatives living in Balanshe. He originally wanted to sacrifice himself to protect his family from being affected by the war, but his family did not agree. Willing to be a drag in the battle of Tadao, choose to express the determination to resist Japan with self-determination! Boss, bigger and more Japanese troops are coming to us, and there are still a lot of artillery in the team, what should we do? The tense battle situation and Tadao competed for the time to think. At this time, Aweih Baha, who was in charge of reconnaissance, came to Tadao from the rear to report the situation of the Japanese army's activities, but Tadao looked blank, as if he could not understand the words at all.He looked at Awei with empty eyes, and his confused head couldn't process the message Awei told him for a while.The news of the death of a loved one makes the surrounding air heavy like a lead weight hanging, and Tadao's body bears the invisible weight, and even his movements seem a little slow. He lowered his head, not knowing how to describe his feelings. When people suddenly hear the bad news, their emotional feelings are actually like taking morphine. Tadao's heart can't immediately feel the existence of sadness, but the element of surprise is still there. Mostly.He felt that a certain part of his body had been swallowed by something, and the news brought by Bawan seemed to have caused a qualitative change in Tadao from the inside of his soul! Tadao shook his head, turned his head to look at the group of teenagers in Mahepo, and thought of his lovely grandson in his heart. At that moment, Tadao's heart, which was originally protected by shock, suddenly felt a heartache, which was so severe that he was caught off guard.In that heart-pounding feeling, a decision gradually took shape in Tadao's mind, and Tadao faced it with an increasingly determined attitude. Bhawan, my prestige when I was young is not inferior to your Mahepo boss Mona Rudo, do you know that?Tadao suddenly said to Bhavan. Bawan opened his big eyes and nodded to Tadao with a strange expression, not understanding why Tadao said this. Wallis, our ammunition can't fight against the Japanese army, let's take everyone back to Lukudaya later.Tadao will lean his back on a small mound to let his breathing be a little calmer.Lukudaya is the second line of defense arranged by Mona in case the highlands of Tarot Bay are broken by the Japanese army. Not only is the terrain dangerous, there are cliffs to defend, but it is also the only link between Tarot Bay and Mahepo. Even the road. The deputy commander, Wallis, heard Tadao's instructions, and wanted to advise Tadao not to retreat easily, but Tadao looked at him with persistence in his eyes. Wallis pondered for a while under that persistence, and finally conveyed the news of the retreat go down. After Wallis left, Tadao closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he looked at Bhavan, but shouted at Biheshapo who was a few steps away. Hey Bihe, promise me that I will kill a few more Japanese, you know? While Tadao was talking, Bihe Shapo was discussing with Bihovallis how to hit the Japanese hiding behind the rocks. When they looked back at Tadao together, they found that Tadao jumped to the ground. At the highest point of the mound, the guns were pointed at the Japanese positions. Boss what are you doing?Bihe yelled in surprise, but Tadao didn't seem to hear it. The artillery support from the Matsui Brigade has arrived, ah, police officers be careful!In the enemy's position, the communicator holding the radio was concentrating on receiving the message, but suddenly he saw the figure of Tadao appearing on the opposite mound, and the rifle in his hand was pointed at Police Captain Yamada. not good!Yamada noticed the abnormality under the reminder of the messenger, and was about to pull out his pistol, but the tower road opposite had already fired, and the ruthless bullet accurately penetrated Yamada's head. Shoot that lunatic down!Yamada's subordinates saw the captain being sniped, and they all raised their guns to shoot at Tadao. The strange thing is that Tadao didn't dodge at all, as if he was deliberately facing the bullet!Finally, Tadao was shot in the forehead, and the whole person fell straight to the bottom of the mound. Tower leader!Everyone in the He Ge Club ran to Ta Dao in panic, but he was shot in the head and died. Bihe Shapo sadly closed Ta Dao's eyes that were still open, and wanted to raise his gun and fight again. The Japanese resisted, but at this time there was a loud noise from a heavy object piercing the air in the distance, and the earth was shaken, and the artillery attack of the Matsui Brigade had begun! retreat!Everyone retreated to Rukudaya, the leader died∣∣Retired to Rukudaya!Wallisjili shouted in the crowd, demanding that the young men of the Dutch Song Society retreat immediately. The shells kept flying towards the woods, digging big holes one after another in the ground with great power, and the gravel scattered by the explosion flew up almost higher than the big trees. Unfortunately, some anti-Japanese people were affected by the shellfire, and were blown up without even wailing. Got to be broken.The artillery shells used by the Matsui Brigade were not only traditional shells, but also incendiary shells that would cause violent flames after the explosion. As a result, the Tarot Bay Highland, which was originally lush with trees, fell into a sea of ​​flames, and the anti-Japanese people had no choice but to flee deeper into the forest. go. hateful!The situation is so bad, you still don't even move for me!In the densely smoky woods, Bihe Shabo operated the machine gun while running, hoping that the weapon he had finally snatched would be effective, but he tried several times but still couldn't get the point, and the machine gun still couldn't fire. At this time, several planes also appeared in the sky above the forest, densely packed bombs were continuously thrown from the fuselage into the woods. Boom!A bomb detonated behind Bihe. Bihe was shocked by the power of the bomb and fell forward. The machine gun in his hand also fell out and hit the stone.Only a few steps away, Bihe would be blown to pieces. Although his body was still cut and wounded by the branches and stones flying around, fortunately, he was not fatal.When he got up in embarrassment, he picked up the machine gun without giving up. What was amazing was that the machine gun could be fired this time! Ha ha!Are you awake?Excitedly, Bihe took the machine gun whose safety had been knocked away by the stone, pointed at the plane in the sky, and started shooting, hoping to shoot down the strange birds that dropped the bombs. The artillery firing is suspended, and the troop raid begins!When the Shanpao completed the first stage of bombing, Major Matsui majestically led hundreds of combined military and police troops into the devastated forest.The intention of Commander Kamada to bombard the anti-Japanese people with heavy weapons is very obvious. The purpose is to prevent Japanese soldiers from engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the elusive and elusive people in an environment with unfamiliar terrain. We must first weaken the Sediq people with modern weapons. The strength, and then defeated them in one fell swoop. Run across the wire bridge and cut it down! The speed at which the Seediqs moved between the jungles was something that the Japanese would never be able to keep up with.Wallisjili ran in front of all the clansmen of the Hege Society, and retreated all the way to the Sku Iron Line Bridge.This bridge spans a valley more than 1,000 meters deep. If it is cut off, the Japanese army will have to cross a deep valley if they want to attack Mahepo, which can effectively slow down the speed of the Japanese army. It is also tantamount to cutting off their own way to the outside world, but for the Sediq people who have long regarded death as home, this will not be a problem at all, because they have no plans to return to the outside world. Urged by Wallis Geely, the surviving members of the Hege Society and Bawan quickly passed the treacherous bridge. Bihe Wallis waited for a while after crossing the bridge. Bihe Shapo was nowhere to be seen, he was worried about his cousin's safety, and felt anxious for a while. The Japanese iron bird is here again, everyone be careful! Since there were no trees at both ends of the wire bridge for shelter, the Japanese bombers in the sky could clearly grasp the whereabouts of the Sediqs. They connected with each other by radio, preparing to fly over to carry out another wave of bombing on the ground.Bihe and several soldiers drew out their knives, watched the approaching plane in the sky, and worked together to chop the thumb-thick steel cable of the Iron Wire Bridge. At this moment, the figure of Bihe Shapo appeared on the other side of the bridge in time with a machine gun . Wait a moment!Bihe Wallis looked overjoyed at the bloody Bihe Shapo, and stopped everyone from cutting the bridge.At this time, the sound of the propeller of the plane was close at hand, and the anti-Japanese people were in danger of being bombed at any time. Behe come here!Bihe Wallis yelled, and Bihe Shapo took a deep breath, carried the heavy machine gun on his shoulders, and quickly ran across the Sku Iron Line Bridge.At this moment, a bomb exploded on the cliff behind Biheshabo, and the shock wave caused the Iron Wire Bridge to shake violently. There was a bottomless valley at Bihe's feet, but he had long forgotten any fear in his heart, and he rushed to the opposite bank in three steps at a time, with a quite calm attitude.As soon as Bihe crossed the bridge, all the members of the Hege Club cut off the iron wire bridge together, and the long bridge hung like a dying snake on the vertical mountain wall. Let's go, the clansmen are waiting for us in Rukudaya.After Bihovallis completed the action of breaking the back road, he asked everyone to hide in the woods as soon as possible. Although the bombers continued to drop bombs from the sky, the jungle at the other end became denser after crossing the Iron Wire Bridge. As soon as the young men of the Hege Club entered the dense forest, the Japanese military planes could only bomb randomly and could not grasp the whereabouts of the Sediq people. .The Japanese pilot sat on the plane and looked at the dense forest stretching across the entire mountain range on the ground, as if he saw a giant beast covered with green scales prostrate in front of him.Although the giant beast is silent, it has clearly told the Japanese that it is on the side of the Sediq people, and the Sediq people have its protection. Even if it dies in battle, it will respectfully let the Japanese Their bodies merged with it. Who said Sediqs are alone and helpless!The pilot seemed to hear what the monster said, but the arrogant Japanese immediately pressed the button to release the bomb in their hands to refute. The bomb fell, and huge sparks ignited between the scales. The explosive force seemed earth-shattering, but the monster still moved It stood there without moving, never giving way, its dismissive attitude seemed to be mocking the power of the Japanese, mocking them for imagining themselves too powerful! On Wushe Street, a large group of Japanese wounded soldiers gathered together, ready to be transported down the mountain.The trolley track that was originally destroyed by the Seediqs resumed operation under the emergency repair of the military. This is currently the most important means of transportation from Wushe to Puli. The timing has entered November, and the battle between the two sides has also become intense.The full-scale attack on the Sediq had been launched for several days, and the Japanese army apparently recovered most of the tribes, but Commander Kamada knew that Mona Ludo's power had not weakened at all. They are like ghosts and have no idea where they will appear!In the headquarters of the Kamada Detachment, a group of Japanese military police officers are holding a meeting about the situation that is not going as smoothly as expected.The speaker was a staff officer of about forty years old with pomaded hair. In the woods where the sun cannot be seen, our troops will fall into their ambush if we are not careful. These fierce people are more cunning than anything else, as if they know what we are thinking!I suggest that we should send some more troops, otherwise, if this continues, the prestige of the Japanese imperial army will be discredited! Thousands of armed forces with powerful firepower are being played around as prey by more than 300 savages. We have already shamed the Japanese imperial army!Sitting in front of all the officers, Commander Kamada frowned deeply, staring at the simple situation map hand-painted on the table, and responded to the staff with a tone full of low-key anger. Has the Matsui Brigade crossed the valley of the Tarot Bay Creek?Kamada suddenly remembered another thing.After the Sku Iron Bridge was cut off, the Matsui Brigade had to go around the valley before continuing to advance towards Mahepo. Yes, they are ready to attack Maheppo.The communications officer replied. Even if we attacked Mahepo, I believe the effect would not be great. At this time, the Huaze Police Department suddenly stood up and spoke. He said with concern: These fierce people will run away when they fight. Like the wind, they have no solid position. Running on the mountain road where I can't even stand still, I run like flying, I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it's going, like that Bihe Shabo, I saw it at this place the day before yesterday, Hua Ze said while pointing to the The map was discovered here again yesterday, and it came here today!These distances are so far away, I don't know how he did it! All the officers looked at Hua Zebi's map and looked at each other, as if they were listening to some kind of ghost story. Has Mona Ludo appeared?Kamada asked Kawasawa. No! This guy is really a character, Kamada's tone darkened a little, and he clasped his fingers on the table again, line after line of defense, no matter how he cut and cut the support line, such a rude barbarian actually has such a meticulous battle plan painting!He clenched his teeth and looked at the green hills outside the window. Let's send more troops!The staff officer once again proposed to increase the number of troops, but Kamada was silent for a while, and proposed another way of thinking. No, Kamata stood up his fat body from the chair, put his hands on the table and said to everyone: We should no longer let our soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices in the forest and wild, we should use it to rule against the enemy. The way to let the Tibetans kill each other!Kamata's words made every official at the scene seem to see light in the dark. Everyone was refreshed and looked at Kamata, wanting to hear the commander's idea. Those who are good at guerrilla warfare go to fight Mona Ludo! This is a clever plan. The staff officer played with the short mustache of his chin, but his expression was a little suspicious.But what excuses should we use as an inducement to ask the Fans to oppose Mona Ludao?Doesn't Mona Ludo have a high status among the Fans? Kamada stood in front of the table silently, and the question of the staff officer caused the whole meeting to fall into another moment of thinking. You can use the grass as an incentive!Kazawa suddenly broke the silence at this moment. How to say?Kamada looked curious. 據我的瞭解，自從蕃人接受我們統治以來，其實一直對於禁止出草這件事有相當大的反彈，因為出草在蕃人的習俗裡，是決定一個男子是否成年的象徵，所以只要我們以同意他們可以自由獵取那些反抗蕃的人頭為誘餌，一定可以誘使他們彼此殺戮！ 聽起來似乎可行∣∣鐮田看了樺澤一眼，前前後後又仔細思考一下樺澤的提議。周圍的官員七嘴八舌的說著自己的意見，支持樺澤的言論多過於反對，但不管其他人怎麼說，鐮田只信任他自己的評斷。 我決定了，趕快將這件事付諸實行吧！鐮田的話一出，大家立即安靜下來。自視甚高的鐮田，沒有向其他官員諮詢，自己做了明快的決定。 還有一件事，鐮田趁全場的焦點仍集中在他身上，又做了一項指示，通信官，向軍司令部申請使用糜爛性砲彈！ 啊糜爛性砲彈？鐮田的話一出，馬上引來官員一陣騷動。 司令，使用那種武器可非同小可！軍官中有人提出反對，以違反國際法的方式使用毒氣炸彈，恐怕會引起∣∣ 夠了，不要跟我說什麼國際法不國際法的！鐮田打斷軍官的發言，聲音大得讓所有人嚇了一跳：雖然我提出了以蕃治蕃的做法，但是要我鐮田彌彥將戰爭的勝敗完全交給那些蕃人來決定，我做不到！ 可是∣∣參謀本想說話，卻被鐮田瞪了一眼。 我下的命令由我負全責！鐮田的面色凝重，所有人都被他的態度所震懾，現在全國人民都在關心這場叛亂何時才會結束，我們必須採用最有效率的方法來維護國家的安定和軍隊的尊嚴，鐮田的拳頭，用力落在桌面上：對付野蠻最好的辦法就是比他們更野蠻，這是那些不願意接受文明的蕃人教我的！ 鐮田轉身看著懸掛在他身後牆上的那面日本國旗，心中想的卻是某一個他未曾謀面的臉孔。面對腦海中那看不清臉的男人，鐮田將他心中的話一個字一個字的說出口，充滿挑釁的意味。 搞清楚，你是莫那魯道，我可是鐮田司令啊！ 長久以來負責維護山區治安的日本警察，在鐮田一聲令下之後，著手開始用以蕃治蕃的策略來反制抗日族人的叢林游擊戰策略。由川西警部所負責的蕃兵編制工作，把屯巴拉、道澤、白狗和萬大幾個部落的壯丁組織起來，組成一支大約五百多名成員的奇襲隊，並將其歸屬於警察隊的一部分，日本人將這些親日的原住民稱為味方蕃 從現在開始，你們就隸屬於日本軍警，所以必須遵守日本軍警的戰地敕令。一群穿著傳統服裝的賽德克人雜亂散坐在霧社公學校操場上，他們聆聽著司令台上川西警察隊長的訓話，手上握著日本人發給的步槍、彈藥和糧食，臉色卻多半無奈。對於勇武善戰而有建功者，我們會給予獎賞，但是若有違命、不遵從日本警察臨陣脫逃者，將施以就地槍決！ 在黑壓壓的人群裡，鐵木瓦力斯冷漠地聽著日本警察的講話，他所領導的屯巴拉社人，是組成味方蕃的主力陣容之一。 接下來，我還要宣布一件重要的事情，川西隊長仍在台上喋喋不休，此時小島源治來到鐵木的身旁蹲下，陪他一起聽著上級的命令。在平反叛亂的期間，平時對於你們出草的禁令將全面暫時解除，這可是難得的機會啊，你們不但可以名正言順的出草，更有政府提供的獎金可以領。 原本精神渙散的原住民們，一聽到川西隊長所宣布的消息，紛紛像從睡夢裡醒過來一樣，他們原本被逼迫集結在一起為日本人打仗，心裡多有反彈，但現在日本人等於是以金錢鼓勵他們出草，這對久年沒有執行ＧＡＹＡ且經濟狀況赤貧的原住民而言，真是一個天大的誘惑！ 我現在就宣布獵人頭的獎金，頭目一百五十元到兩百元，壯丁一百元，婦女三十元，幼兒二十元，還有一個特別獎，川西隊長以故意拉長尾音挑撥眾人情緒，誰能獵下莫那魯道的人頭，就可獲得特別獎！ 殺一個壯丁就有一百元？操場上的原住民們露出驚訝的表情，當時日本一般公務員的月薪也不過才三十元，川西口中的金額等於像天文數字一樣。 Did you hear that?當聽見莫那的名字時，小島源治的眼中有恨意在跳動，他轉過頭和鐵木四目相交，特別加強語氣的又重複了一次：特別獎莫那魯道！ 莫那魯道∣∣鐵木的眼神不像小島那樣炯炯有神，他的心裡似乎有什麼結卡在那裡，他將視線跳脫身邊的小島以及那些議論紛紛的族人，望向天上炫麗的夕陽。在鐵木心裡似乎對於日本人以金錢鼓勵他們對同胞下手的做法感到惶惶不安，尤其日本人要他們連女人跟小孩也不放過，那是賽德克勇士所不屑做的事情，ＧＡＹＡ也不允許。 如果莫那魯道是反抗日本人的英雄，那我鐵木瓦力斯又算是什麼呢？同樣身為賽德克部落的頭目，鐵木在接下日本人的武器之後，突然開始感到惶恐，一生都想贏過莫那、想割下莫那人頭的鐵木，心裡默默想著這個問題，身體在冷風中打了個寒顫。 鐵木，你沒事吧？小島看出了鐵木的異樣，擔心地詢問。 I'm fine.鐵木的回答乾乾的，完全像是敷衍，他不敢看小島關心的臉龐，更不敢面對自己的惶恐，他突然很想把手中的步槍給丟棄，但似乎他已經走到了一個進退兩難的局面。
