Chapter 909: Fearful Koga Ryukata
On the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet completely dissipated. The afterglow of the setting sun penetrates the thick clouds and sprinkles on the devastated earth, giving this land baptized by war a strange golden coat.
The shell craters were of varying depths, like a giant mouth of the earth, swallowing up all breath of life. The air was filled with a complex smell of scorched earth and blood, which was suffocating.
Feng Chang stood tall and straight with eyes as sharp as an eagle. He walked quickly towards Captain Li An who was standing at the edge of the battlefield.
"Hello, Captain Li An," Feng Chang's voice was deep and powerful. He took off his dusty tactical gloves, revealing his palms that were toughened by the flames of war, and extended his right hand to Li An. "I am Feng Chang, the commander of the Armored Assault Battalion of the Totenkopf Division. We won this battle cleanly."
Li An came back to his senses, quickly adjusted his emotions, and also stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Feng Chang. "Captain Feng, nice to meet you. Your battalion's combat efficiency is admirable, and this victory came so quickly that it is almost unbelievable."
"On the battlefield, only speed can defeat the enemy." Feng Chang smiled slightly and spoke very humbly.
Li An nodded, his expression becoming serious. "Captain Feng, we have successfully locked on to and captured a key enemy figure. His identity is still unknown, but for tactical reasons, I have arranged for a team to evacuate him before the battle begins."
"A wise move." Feng Chang praised, "But now, we need him. Please contact your team immediately and ask them to return with the target."
Li An quickly took out the communicator from his waist and briefly explained to Feng Chang the location of the evacuation team and the expected return time.
"We have been notified. They are returning at full speed and are expected to arrive here within half an hour."
"Very good." Feng Chang nodded, then turned around and issued a series of instructions to the soldiers behind him, arranging personnel to prepare to receive Koga Ryukata and strengthen vigilance in the surrounding area.
While waiting, Feng Chang and Li An stood side by side. Although they came from different units, they seemed to have been comrades-in-arms for many years. They discussed the battlefield situation, analyzed the enemy's movements, and expressed sincere appreciation for each other's tactics and command capabilities.
Soon, with a burst of hurried footsteps, Koga Ryukata was escorted to the edge of the battlefield by two soldiers of the Skeleton Division.
Before our eyes is a devastated battlefield. Those majestic steel behemoths - tanks and armored vehicles - are quietly parked there, their cold muzzles seeming to still be telling of the cruelty of war.
Koga Ryukata looked around and couldn't help feeling a surge of despair in his heart. He knew that the regiment that was protecting his evacuation had been wiped out, and he himself would become a victim of this war.
Feng Chang looked down at the Koga Ryukata who was brought in with a condescending attitude.
Although Koga Ryukata was disheveled and covered in dust, Feng Chang could already sense his extraordinary status from the brief narration of Li An and others. He sneered and slowly asked, "What's your name?"
Koga Ryukata's mind moved and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
He realized that the other party did not seem to fully understand his true identity, which was undoubtedly an opportunity that could be exploited.
So, he pretended to be flustered and answered with a trembling voice: "I... I am just an ordinary officer of the Fuso Military Intelligence Department. My name is Ichiro Yamamoto. I am responsible for the transmission of information between the front line and Kyoto."
Feng Chang heard this and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He continued to ask: "Oh? Just an ordinary military intelligence officer? Then why is it so important that a regiment is needed to protect your evacuation?"
Koga Ryukata's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface and continued, "That's because... I have some key information that is extremely important to Fuso. Therefore, they want to protect my safe evacuation at all costs."
Li An stood beside Feng Chang, his eyes swept across Koga Ryukata, and said meaningfully: "Captain Feng, the Sakura Snow all-terrain command vehicle this person is riding is an extremely rare configuration in the Fuso Army. Usually only high-ranking military officials or people of extremely important status are qualified to ride it."
"He claimed to be just an ordinary officer of the Military Intelligence Department, which is obviously a lie. Moreover, when we arrested him just now, the soldiers of the Fuso Regiment reacted violently and tried to save him at all costs. This is enough to prove that his identity is not simple."
Feng Chang heard this and sneered. He looked at Koga Ryukata with an even colder look. "Captain Li An is right. This man may have more secrets than we thought."
"However, our Chinese front-line special military intelligence department has plenty of ways to make these stubborn people talk. No matter how strong his willpower is, as long as he enters there, he will be guaranteed to spit out everything."
When Koga Ryukata heard this, he couldn't help but shudder. He lowered his head and tried his best to make his expression appear calm, but the cold sweat oozing from his forehead betrayed his inner fear.
He knew that once he was sent to the so-called Special Military Intelligence Department, endless torture and pain would be waiting for him.
At this moment, Feng Pu called on the first aid team to come forward and treat the wounds of Li Ang and his team members.
After Li An treated his wounds, he said goodbye to Feng Chang and Feng Pu. "Captain Feng, Captain Feng Pu, thank you for your assistance. I must personally escort this man back to the Special Military Intelligence Office on the front line to ensure that our army can obtain important information from him."
Feng Chang nodded to show his understanding. "Captain Li An, you have a heavy responsibility, so please be careful. I hope that we can share more victories when we meet again next time."
Feng Pu stood aside, watching with deep eyes as the transport plane gradually rose into the air and disappeared into the clouds.
In order to ensure the timely transmission of information, Feng Pu quickly called the signalman and ordered with a serious look: "Send a telegram to the division headquarters immediately, the content is as follows: Our army has perfectly completed the pursuit mission, successfully wiped out an enemy wing, and found an important enemy figure in the battle. The person is now being escorted by Captain Li An, the leader of the special paratrooper team, and is returning to the division headquarters on a special plane. We will maintain a high level of alert on the way to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Upon hearing this, the signalman immediately took action, tapping his fingers quickly on the telegraph machine, converting this exciting news into code and transmitting it to the distant division headquarters via radio waves.
On the plane, Koga Ryukata felt increasingly depressed, and kept thinking about how he could survive.
When really facing life and death, Koga Ryukata, who always talks about being loyal to the empire and constantly brainwashes the lower-level officers and soldiers, is actually thinking about his own survival and has long forgotten the so-called glory of the empire. It has to be said that this is extremely ironic.
