NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 228
Guardian of the Empire (1)
Night raid.
It literally means attack at night.
From the moment mankind first set foot on this earth, night has been the time that humans have feared the most.
Humans have felt fear of the unknown.
The dark night is also like that.
When I was looking into the pitch-black darkness where I couldn’t see anything, I felt uneasy and scared for no reason.
The same goes for night shifts.
No matter how well I packed my clothes, it was quite difficult to just stand there and stare into the pitch-black darkness in the cold weather with the cold wind blowing.
There, unlike usual, there was a battle and a standoff with the enemy.
“… … Saburo!”
“Hey, Private Yamagata Saburo!”
“Are you sleepy? You’re sleepy even though the enemy is right in front of you?”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep… … .”
“Ha… …. Aren’t you coming to your senses?!”
“sorry!”
The soldiers who had been unable to rest at all because they had been fighting in the morning and collecting corpses and organizing the barracks until night were immediately put on guard duty.
The higher-ups thought that since it was a rotational shift anyway, there wouldn’t be any major problems, and in reality, there were no major problems.
Until now, that is.
“Hey! If you’re just dozing off like a sick chicken and those damn bastards crawl in and stick a knife in my throat, I’ll die, right? Right?”
“Yes… … .”
“Then you killed me.”
“yes?”
“I died because you fell asleep!”
“Ah! Ahh… … . That’s… … . Huh… … ?”
“This kid is running away!”
-puck!
“Ugh!”
“Aren’t you out of your mind?”
“Ugh… … . I’m, I’m sorry… … .”
“If you doze off while on patrol and get caught by an officer, I’ll get scolded again for doing nothing!”
-puck!
Saburo’s senior, who had caught the dog, beat him mercilessly under the pretext of waking him up from his sleep.
Saburo, who had been beaten in the middle of the night, came to his senses, but at the same time, he felt wronged.
‘Sigh… … I marched, fought, and worked all day, and now I’m sleepy because I wasn’t allowed to sleep. What do you want me to do… … !’
However, there was no way that the senior who had been quietly resting after the battle and work would have known about Saburo’s hardships.
-Thud! Thud! Thud!
“You! Little brat! You! Need to! Get your mind right?!”
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
Despite the merciless beatings from his superior, Saburo could not even think of resisting and simply took the beating.
‘I wish at least an executive had passed by… … .’
Then I would probably get scolded a little for falling asleep at work, but at least I wouldn’t get hit.
-Thud! Thud! Thud!!!
“Ugh… … . Ugh… … .”
Saburo, who had been beaten for a long time while lying in the snow, quickly removed the arm covering his head and looked back when his senior stopped kicking him.
Then, Private Kinoshita was seen struggling on the floor, clutching his neck.
“Private Kinoshita?”
“Keuheuk… … . Khuheuk… … .”
“Hey, are you okay?”
Saburo, who had suddenly approached his senior who was showing signs of a seizure, was startled when he saw red blood splattered on the floor and fell backwards.
-chin.
Something hit his back.
There certainly weren’t any trees or rocks around him for him to trip over.
“……to?”
When Private Saburo turned around, there stood a soldier in a military uniform he had never seen before.
Although he was clearly wearing a military uniform, Saburo instinctively knew that he was the enemy.
“enemy……!”
He tried to shout with all his might that he had found the enemy, but his opponent covered his mouth and he could not make a sound.
“fizzle.”
“Euuuup… … !”
At that moment, a dagger was stabbed into Saburo’s chest and blood gushed out from his mouth.
“Kreulruk… … .”
“… … .”
As Saburo writhed in pain, the soldier who had stabbed him stabbed him in the chest two more times without saying a word.
Then Saburo also became as quiet as a ghost.
After making sure that no one was around, the soldier immediately picked up the lantern on his waist and signaled by turning the light on and off several times.
Then, out of the pitch-black darkness, soldiers dressed in dark green uniforms like him swarmed in.
“teacher!”
“Oh my, what would you do if you became a regimental commander and commanded your unit from the front?”
The person called teacher frowned slightly at the sight of Colonel Kim Hong-il leading the unit at the forefront of the line.
“Hehehe, I’m used to this.”
“Just because you’re familiar with it doesn’t mean the bullets will avoid the general.”
“That’s true, but… … . I have to… … .”
Colonel Kim glanced at the two corpses lying at his feet and smiled bitterly.
“I was a little worried when I heard that the teacher was going alone, but it seems my worries were unfounded.”
“I hear that often.”
Even as the two laughed and talked, the soldiers moved forward in silence.
The surroundings were noisy with the sound of snow crunching and the clanging of various drums hitting each other.
“Please make time for me.”
“great.”
The teacher checked the time by looking at the watch on his wrist.
“Exactly one hour from now.”
“Why one hour?”
“Another unit will arrive with support in an hour.”
“The number of our troops is not small, and the enemy will be in disarray, so shouldn’t we use this opportunity to wipe out the enemy?”
Colonel Kim tilted his head and asked me.
In his opinion, this surprise attack was a great success and he thought he would be able to push the enemy back in one go.
but.
“You seem to have forgotten that there is another Japanese division behind this one.”
“Ah… … . That’s right.”
Even though the Japanese army had shown some shortcomings, it was not because they were weak, but because this teacher had sold information to the independence fighters or their enemy.
No matter how big a tiger is and how sharp its claws are, if you tie up all its hands and feet, it’s no better than a neighborhood cat.
That was the situation with the Japanese military at the time.
“Our plan was to attack the 14th Division, and the 1st Division joining was not part of the plan.”
“Hmm… … . That’s true, but… … .”
“Don’t forget, it’s only one hour. After that, the 1st Division, which has cleared up the chaos, will definitely send reinforcements.”
“If this teacher says so.”
Colonel Kim smiled brightly and answered cheerfully, then immediately followed the soldiers.
“Oh, I told you not to command from the front lines, but from the headquarters.”
“I am used to commanding soldiers while watching them fight directly… … .”
“Now you must get used to commanding soldiers on the map. Then you will become a great general in your independent country later.”
“Haha! A general from an independent country… … If someone had said something like that, I would have just thought it was a pleasant remark and let it slide… … .”
Colonel Kim glanced back at Mr. Lee.
“When you say it like that, teacher, I feel like it really will work out.”
“When did I ever talk nonsense?”
“Yes.”
Colonel Kim shook his head as if he couldn’t handle it either and walked in the opposite direction the soldiers were running.
His staff followed him one by one.
“… … .”
The teacher stared blankly at Colonel Kim Hong-il, and when he disappeared from sight, he too moved on to another place.
Meanwhile, in the Japanese camp where the soldiers had rushed in, flames rose and gunshots could be heard everywhere.
As Colonel Kim Hong-il was returning to the headquarters in the car that had come to pick him up, a question suddenly popped into his head.
‘This teacher said that the 1st Division would come to resolve the confusion and provide support… … What kind of confusion is causing them?’
It was truly an incomprehensible story.
* * *
The Japanese 1st Division stationed on the other side of the mountain was naturally puzzled when they suddenly heard a loud noise from the other side of the mountain and flames shot up, brightening the surroundings.
“What is this happening in the middle of the night?”
“Shall we send someone to the 14th Division?”
“Of course it should be. What are you doing? Send someone quickly and find out the news from that side!”
Lieutenant General Ishimitsu harassed his adjutant to find out the situation.
But no matter how much time passed, no one brought any news.
“aide.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Did the guy you sent to the 14th Division come back?”
“No, there’s no news yet.”
“… … ?”
Lieutenant General Ishimitsu looked back at his adjutant with a displeased expression.
“Are you asking me to report that now?”
“yes?”
“Huh? No! It’s obvious to anyone that something happened over there, so why hasn’t the messenger I sent there heard anything?”
“Uh, that’s… … .”
It was clear to anyone who looked that the messenger had been injured either on his way there or on his way back.
However, since he knew that if he said this out loud, he would definitely get scolded by Lieutenant General Ishimitsu for not managing his subordinates well, the adjutant hesitated and could not open his mouth easily.
“Eugh… … . It’s frustrating.”
Lieutenant General Ishimitsu, unaware of his feelings, was frustrated with his adjutant who could not even give such a simple answer.
“Something happened to the messenger!”
“Oh, right.”
“So what should we do now?”
“Shall we send… reinforcements?”
“Okay! I should send it! Then how much?”
“… … First, we will dispatch a single company to assess the situation, and then send a follow-up unit as soon as they are ready.”
Ishimitsu still looked displeased, but nodded for now.
“Okay, if you understand, move quickly.”
His adjutant hurriedly left the headquarters tent.
Captain Mutaguchi passed by him, stretching and yawning.
“Captain Mutaguchi!”
“Huh? Oh, Captain Ousei.”
Captain Mutaguchi saluted his adjutant first.
The adjutant also gave a cursory salute and asked Mutaguchi, who seemed somewhat relaxed.
“Where are you going now?”
“Uh… … After conducting a night reconnaissance mission with my unit members to the south of the garrison, I was thinking of going back and resting.”
“Oh, really? Then all of your men are ready to deploy now?”
“Yes.”
Mutaguchi felt a little uneasy, but nodded without showing it.
“Then please grant me a favor.”
“Please? Oh, yes… … . Please feel free to tell me.”
Mutaguchi nodded readily at the request of the division commander’s dedicated aide.
“Lead your company immediately, check the situation of the 14th Division across the mountain, and provide support to them.”
“Support… … . you say? Just our company?”
“You are the only unit that can move right now. Don’t worry too much, we will send the unit as soon as it is ready.”
Mutaguchi was reluctant to climb the mountain and go into battle again as he was in the middle of a reconnaissance mission, but how could he possibly ignore orders from his superiors just because he didn’t want to?
“Well then… … . Well… … . I’ll do my best.”
“Okay, please.”
Then, Lieutenant General Ishimitsu’s aide went off somewhere in a very busy manner.
Captain Mutaguchi glanced at his adjutant and sighed deeply.
“Whew… … If I hadn’t made that mistake in Tokyo, I would have been running around as an Army staff officer giving orders here and there instead of doing this kind of dangerous work… … . Hmm… … !”
Mutaguchi lamented his foolishness of the past and headed straight to the tent where his unit members were.
And as he disappeared, someone walked slowly out of the dark shadows into the light, looked back and forth between where Mutaguchi and the adjutant had disappeared, and then followed the adjutant.
