Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"Colonel, I used to think that the military police were all bosses who only knew how to bully people, but today, I realized that the combat effectiveness and fighting spirit of the military police warriors are much stronger than our soldiers! If it weren't for their support, we would be afraid..."

An officer sighed.

"Yes, I didn't expect that only more than thirty military police, leading our less than a hundred remaining soldiers, could block the security group for so long, and they don't seem to be afraid of death at all. They are really worthy of being the elite of our army!" One person echoed, with admiration in his eyes.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded: "They are too cruel to their own people. Some of our soldiers who wanted to retreat were beaten to death by them. What is the difference between them and lunatics?"

But as soon as these words came out, the people around him all looked over.

Everyone frowned and looked at the person who spoke with dissatisfaction.

One of the more emotional ones went so far as to punch him directly and angrily cursed: "Baga! What's the point of being shot for being a deserter on the battlefield? You coward, you actually sympathize with those deserters!"

As he said that, he turned to look at Goto Juro and said loudly: "Colonel, you should severely punish this guy, he is a coward!

I saw him running back with his men, but he was stopped by the military police, who said they were retreating on your orders!"

Several other people also nodded, indicating that they had seen it as well. Regardless of whether they had seen it or not, the opportunity to beat the man who was down could just relieve their nervousness after having just escaped death.

Goto Juro's face was gloomy. He looked coldly at the person who was accused, his heart filled with disappointment and anger.

On the battlefield, desertion is the most shameful behavior, and this man not only deserted, but also tried to justify himself and even slandered the gendarmerie. This behavior seriously affected morale and must be severely punished.

"There is such a thing!" Goto Juro's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He hurriedly walked to the officer who was knocked down by a punch and asked in a stern voice: "Is this true?"

The officer struggled to get up from the ground, his face full of dissatisfaction and anger, and he loudly retorted: "Colonel! I am a major, and the highest rank of those military police is only sergeant. What qualifications do they have to stop me!"

Hearing this, Goto Juro's anger soared, and he roared: "Baga! They are fighting desperately against the enemy in the front to buy time for us. You, a coward, not only dare not fight on the front line, but you are still quibbling here! What a damn bastard."

As he spoke, Goto Juro reached for the pistol at his waist. He had always maintained the habit of not punishing his men easily, but at this moment, facing the deaths of hundreds of soldiers, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and decided to personally execute the guy who retreated in the face of a battle.

At this time, Miyaji Teru, who had received the notice, came back and hurried over to hold Goto Juro's hand, saying urgently: "Colonel, you can't kill him!"

"Hmm?" Goto Juro looked at Miyadera Teru in confusion.

In the past, he always thought that nobles were afraid of death and would not easily take risks, but Miyaji Teru was able to lead the military police to the front line, which changed his view of the nobles a lot.

Moreover, the military police's selfless fighting style, without fear of their own life and death, also shocked Miyaji Teru.

So even when Miyaji Teru stopped him when he was furious and wanted to kill someone, he was still able to maintain a good attitude.

In fact, he didn't know the truth. It wasn't that Miyaji Teru was not really afraid of death, but that he had no chance to escape.

At first, after contacting Goto Juro, Miyadera Teru originally planned to leave, but unexpectedly, the gendarmerie dispatched more than 30 military police and asked him to wait here for Okamura Yasuji so that he could report some important situations to Okamura Yasuji.

After all, saying it in person is more "convincing" than using the stiff text in a telegram.

However, as the security group's attacks became more fierce, he had to lead the gendarmes into battle.

So why did the military police leave Goto Juro and others with the impression that they were ready to die?

The reason is simple: the temptation of money.

The pensions for the gendarmerie were quite generous, and after the war with the Togo troops, Zhou Zhengqing significantly increased the amount of the pensions.

This enabled these gendarmes to display extraordinary courage and determination in the face of death.

So many military policemen were eager to die in battle early, so that they could gain glory and let their families live a good life sooner.

This is also related to the tradition of pursuing self-destruction at the core of Japanese culture and history. The Japanese worship death and they believe that death is a noble act with a clear purpose.

When donating one's life, one can experience a generous and sad satisfaction that is a moral elevation.

For example, "Seppuku", which is closely related to "Bushido" in Japanese history, has always been the most respected method of suicide for samurai and soldiers.

It is precisely because of the tradition of worshipping death that some Japanese troops who were particularly brainwashed, after fighting to a certain extent, would like to launch a charge at any time, even if the enemy was under a hail of bullets, and use their bodies to fight the bullets.

If Zhou Zhengqing had not given clear orders not to allow soldiers to take the initiative to meet bullets, it is estimated that a large number of the "fierceest" guys in the gendarmerie would have been killed in minutes.

Not only is it cruel to yourself, but it is also cruel to others.

Under the leadership of Miyadera Teru, the military police played the role of battlefield supervision team for the first time.

If they found a soldier retreating even a little, they would shoot a bullet without mercy.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the 16th Regiment saw the military police wearing gas masks beside them, who were fighting more desperately and ferociously than them, like a group of evil spirits.

Those guys who thought they were soldiers of the Type A Division had already turned their guns around and fought with these military police.

The army doesn't submit to anyone!

However, it was the military police's fighting style that disregarded their own and others' lives that made the soldiers of the 16th Regiment admire them.

Even if he wanted to retreat, he didn't dare to. It was better to die on the battlefield than to be executed by his own people. At least he wouldn't be branded as a deserter.

But many people were also encouraged and became fearless, which enabled them to hold on until the Second Cavalry Regiment arrived to support them.

In response to Goto Juro's doubts, Miyadera Teru waved his hand behind him.

I saw four gendarmes carrying a soldier towards me.

"Colonel! This soldier won't live long, he still has a breath left.

He told me that so many soldiers in your regiment were sick, which led to the disastrous defeat here, but it was a man-made tragedy. If you have anything to ask, please ask as soon as possible. He may die at any time. "

Hearing this, Goto Juro's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Just a few seconds later, Goto Juro seemed to come to his senses and ran to the soldier in two quick steps.

He squatted down, grabbed the soldier's collar tightly, and shook him vigorously, his voice full of urgency and anxiety: "Hey, wake up! Wake up! Tell me, what's going on!"

There was a different kind of hope in his eyes, as if he was praying that the soldiers could give him an explanation, an explanation that would allow him to explain to others the reason for this disastrous defeat.
