NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 234

Red March (3)

“Ugh… … . See-ee-pearl.”

“If you have any bandages left, throw them to me.”

“What about a bandage… … . Just tear up a dead person’s clothes and use them.”

“Ah.”

Red and yellow embroidery were placed on the snowy field that should have been white.

The harmony of red and yellow stretched out in a fan shape toward the machine gun positions of the Korean Independence Army.

At first glance, it looked like the soldiers in yellow uniforms were running away from the machine guns, but the heads of the corpses were all pointed towards the machine guns.

“… … Those damn bastards.”

“They’re running towards me with their eyes rolled back, as if they’ve taken some group medicine… … Wow… … .”

“The front line trench punks must have chopped up hundreds of them, but they didn’t even flinch and kept running at us?”

“Oh my… … . These guys are really crazy… … .”

The damage suffered by the Japanese army over the past few days has been beyond imagination.

Even though casualties reached hundreds, sometimes thousands, when a single battle took place, the Japanese army paid no attention and continued to push its troops forward.

The Japanese army took full advantage of their overwhelming superiority in numbers to turn the battle into a war of attrition, so even though the independence army fought a defensive battle on the advantageous high ground, bullets were not only avoiding them.

Thanks to this, the sacrifices of the independence army soldiers continued to follow, just like clothes getting wet in a drizzle.

And as the battle dragged on, the damage to the independence army gradually accumulated and the exchange rate with the enemy gradually narrowed to 1:1.

“… … I think I’m starting to reach my limit.”

“Wow… … At the beginning of the battle, we thought we had a chance since we were winning every time, but it seems we are still no match for them in an all-out war.”

“The Japanese army is pushing forward with such reckless behavior that we have no means of dealing with it.”

While the Japanese army numbered in the tens of thousands, the independence army numbered at most a few thousand.

No matter how armed the independence army was with the latest military technology and equipment, they were helpless if they actively used their numerical superiority and the battle became a war of attrition.

“Thank goodness Colonel Kim Gyeong-cheon’s unit joined us in time, so we were able to avoid the terrible situation of being attacked from across the river… … .”

Thanks to the ironclad defense of the Tuman River after Kim Gyeong-cheon’s unit, who had recently joined, made a surprise attack on the Japanese army crossing the river, the main force of the independence army did not have to worry about shells flying from across the river.

“If that were the case, our forces wouldn’t have lasted long. Really.”

“… … What is the damage situation on our side?”

“The 3rd Regiment, which was in charge of the first line of defense, has been completely split in two, so we cannot be sure whether it will be able to return to battle, and the 2nd and 4th Regiments of the 2nd and 3rd lines of defense have also suffered accumulated casualties, with 30% of their men now in coffins or hospital beds.”

“That’s terrible.”

The Japanese army was advancing slowly, slowly but surely, while sprinkling the blood of its soldiers.

“Obviously, the enemy’s damage is greater than ours.”

“Yes.”

“But how are those crazy guys advancing? Just from the numbers reported so far, at least six regiments should have disappeared from the papers!”

“Hmm… … It seems like they are forcibly reorganizing the broken regiment and sending it back to the battlefield.”

“Huh, are you saying you’re going to use soldiers as cannon fodder?”

“Otherwise, it’s an absurd number.”

The number of regimental flags captured by the independence army was well over five, and the battalion and company flags below them were so numerous that they could not be counted.

Even if we roughly count them, we can say that the Japanese army has lost half of its strength over the past few days.

but.

“… … It seems like the 1st Division wasn’t among them.”

“Yes.”

“Huh, have you ever seen such a fox-like creature?”

Lieutenant General Ishimitsu of the 1st Division gradually reduced the strength of the independence army by using the 14th Division as cannon fodder.

“You even used our own forces? Huh… … .”

Kim Joa-jin snorted.

“It seems like that foxy author Ishimitsu is planning to pull back the Japanese 1st Division to conserve strength and supplies, and then attack them all at once.”

“The 1st Division… … . It was the first army division created in the Japanese military, so its pride and fighting power must be considerable.”

“So, I guess you put it back.”

Ji Cheong-cheon asked his staff in a serious voice.

“What is the status of our army’s ammunition?”

“I think I’ve used up most of what I brought. I’ve almost used up all the machine gun ammunition and shells, and I still have some rifle and machine gun ammunition left… … . And that’s just barely enough.”

“I think one big battle would use up all my ammunition.”

“Ugh… … Is there any way to get more?”

“First, I tried contacting the Fengtian route, with which we usually do business, and the Soviet military, but Fengtian said that it was difficult to provide ammunition as they were trying to have a showdown with Beijing’s direct line, and the Soviets remained silent.”

“Fuck.”

The chronic problem of ammunition for the independence army once again caught up with them.

“But when have we ever shot bullets so coolly?”

“That’s right. It’s better now than in the past when we had to count each bullet before firing a gun.”

“hmm.”

Although the situation was a bit difficult, they were used to fighting in difficult situations, so they took it lightly.

“It doesn’t matter how well the Japanese 1st Division fights.”

“Anyway, in front of bullets, aren’t they and we both just worth the same life?”

“It’s just one of two things: either they all die or we die.”

“Even if we all die here today, someone will continue our legacy.”

“Yes! And we have this teacher. No matter how many times we mess up, he will be able to rebuild the organization!”

Although it was a difficult situation, everyone prepared for the final battle with their last fighting spirit burning.

but.

‘I’m worried because I haven’t heard from him for several days even though he said he’d be back the next morning.’

Ji Cheong-cheon was worried about Mr. Lee, who had promised to bring reinforcements but had not heard from him since then.

‘Surely this teacher didn’t run away because he was afraid of the Japanese army… … Is something wrong?’

This teacher was a man who never broke his word.

At least that’s what Ji Cheong-cheon knows about him.

The fact that there has been no news from this teacher for several days now… … .

‘Something’s wrong.’

Judging from the fact that the Soviet Union had crushed the friendly forces’ request, it was clear that something had happened there.

‘The situation is getting more and more difficult by the day, and there is no news from the teacher I was expecting… ‘

He didn’t tell anyone else about this, because it would only dampen their morale, since he didn’t know whether reinforcements would come or not.

He just sighed and thought about it alone.

“Phew… … .”

“Comrade Division Commander, don’t worry too much.”

“The Japanese attack will ultimately end in failure.”

“At least by the time they push their way to the headquarters, more than half of them will be dead.”

The staff members, who had no way of knowing his mind, simply worked hard to burn with fighting spirit.

“And we have tanks, don’t we?”

“Oh… … . That’s right!”

“They don’t know we have tanks, so if we deploy them at the crucial moment… … they too will be pushed back.”

The staff planned to use tanks to block the Japanese army if necessary.

But Ji Cheong-cheon’s thoughts were a little different.

“… … Tanks are to remain in combat readiness until further orders are given.”

“Huh? Aren’t you going to deploy it in battle?”

“That’s right.”

“No, we need to use it for such an important battle! If we don’t use it now, then when are we going to use it?”

“I hate to say this, but if you keep being frugal, you’ll only end up with shit.”

Everyone was shocked by Ji Cheong-cheon’s statement that he would not deploy tanks and tried to persuade him, but his will was firm.

“The tanks are to remain on standby until further orders.”

“ah.”

Ji Cheong-cheon trusted this teacher.

‘This teacher will definitely bring reinforcements.’

Ji Cheong-cheon’s faith was firm.

‘If it weren’t for that person, I wouldn’t have come this far anyway.’

Therefore, Ji Cheong-cheon trusted this teacher until the end and prepared a large-scale counterattack rather than defense.

“The tanks stand by at the main base for the final counterattack.”

“ah.”

“Counterattack… … . Is that it?”

Of course, his staff, who did not know his true circumstances, simply looked at him strangely for mentioning a counterattack in a situation where even defense was difficult.

“At least tonight will be peaceful.”

Kim Joa-jin looked outside at the darkness.

* * *

The next morning.

A hazy morning, before the sun had even risen.

At this point, the surroundings have become a little brighter.

The battle was fierce.

The independence army defending the defensive line and the Japanese army trying to break through it were both supported by evil.

-Tutadadada.

“Bring me more ammo!”

“We’re moving ammunition! Get out of the way!”

“3 o’clock! A Japanese guy is dropping a grenade!”

“Catch him!”

“The right barrage is thin! Hold the machine gun properly!”

On the battlefield where shells and bullets rained down, the independence army blocked the Japanese army that was advancing like waves by pouring bullets on them.

“There is no more room to retreat! Forward!”

“For His Majesty the Emperor! Charge forward!”

“Let us prove our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor with our blood! Let’s go!”

“Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”

“Viva!!!”

The Japanese army advanced forward, breaking through the barrage of bullets spread out like a tight net by the independence army with their own flesh and blood.

“Charge forward!”

“Glory is at hand! The spirits of the seniors of Hill 203 are with you!”

Even as the soldiers fell like bundles of corn at harvest time under the hail of bullets, the Japanese army did not stop its steps.

“Eww!!!!”

“Hey, damn it! It’s coming!”

“Shoot! Everybody, shoot!”

Although the vanguard battalion was half-melted as a human shield, the Japanese 1st Division easily broke through the first line of defense of the independence army, living up to its reputation as the first division of the Japanese Empire.

“Retreat! Retreat to the second defense line!”

“Get back! Quickly!”

The independence army was brave and well-trained, but in a situation where one man was fighting dozens of men, bravery alone was not enough to repel the Japanese army.

And in terms of bravery, the Japanese army was no less brave than the independence army.

No, rather, the Japanese military was even more eager to wash away the stigma of having pointed guns and swords at His Majesty the Emperor.

“Do not be afraid, everyone! While alive, I will fight for His Majesty the Emperor, and after death, I will become a divine spirit who protects Shinto!”

“Let’s all meet again at Yasukuni!”

There was no stopping the Japanese army’s advance.

Blood and corpses flowed in their path, but they moved forward slowly but surely.

“Comrade Division Commander! We must deploy the tanks now!”

“The enemy has already broken through the second line of defense. If the last line of defense is broken through… … . Next is the headquarters!”

“We must break the enemy’s momentum! Deploy tanks quickly… …!”

Even when the enemy was right in front of him, Ji Cheong-cheon hesitated to deploy tanks until the very end.

‘Is this teacher not coming after all?’

Ji Cheong-cheon was also troubled.

Considering the oil and ammunition they have now, a tank can only be deployed for one battle.

So if we deploy them to the defensive line now, the tanks will stop due to lack of fuel and ammunition in the subsequent counterattack.

“… … .”

“Comrade Division Commander!”

“… … .”

Ji Cheong-cheon nodded as if he had finally made up his mind.

“I will give orders to the cavalry battalions. Deploy the tanks to the front and push the Japanese back to the enemy lines. The other friendly infantry units will support the tanks and launch a counterattack.”

“A counterattack… … .”

“Yes, the moment the tanks halt the enemy’s offensive, our troops rush out of the defensive line and attack the enemy, launching a counterattack.”

“… … .”

After giving that order, Ji Cheong-cheon headed straight outside.

This was because he wanted to see the situation with his own eyes one last time.

“after.”

The pungent smell of gunpowder blowing in from afar assaulted Ji Cheong-cheon’s nose.

And as the snow began to melt and turn into mud, the yellow-colored corpses of Japanese soldiers and dark green corpses of independence fighters fell here and there in the mud pits.

And even in this situation, the Japanese army and the independence army were still seen fighting.

‘I’m going to get pushed out soon.’

The Japanese army was following closely behind the retreating friendly forces and had reached the friendly forces’ third defensive line.

‘Did we deploy the tank too late?’

‘If only we had deployed them a little sooner… … Couldn’t we have saved more soldiers?’

‘If we counterattack now, will we be able to push back the enemy?’

Many thoughts swirled through Ji Cheong-cheon’s head, and he fell into a state of trance for a moment.

At that time, Ji Cheong-cheon was standing there blankly as if he had been hit with a paralyzing needle, with various worries and concerns rising in his head.

-Sparkle.

“Hmm.”

Suddenly something glittering on the distant mountain ridge caught his eye.

Ji Cheong-cheon came to his senses and looked around as something flashing red blinded his eyes.

“what?”

He picked up the binoculars he carried around his neck and looked in the direction of the red light.

“!!!”

Beyond the West.

So, the mountain ridge behind the Japanese army.

A familiar young man was waving his hand next to a blue pine tree standing alone there.

Although he couldn’t see his face because the distance was so far, Ji Cheong-cheon immediately recognized who he was.

“This teacher.”

At that moment, all the worries and concerns in Ji Cheong-cheon’s head flew away.

* * *

“The situation is terrible.”

“Isn’t it because it was an all-out war where they were just ramming their heads into a well-organized defense line?”

“Hmm… … . I still don’t understand even if you say it like that.”

“Hey… … . Here we go again.”

“I’ve told you this many times. I’m just used to attacking and beating up those Japanese.”

“Haha. Isn’t that why I brought General Hong here?”

“That damn general’s voice.”

I handed Hong Beom-do a pistol.

He recognized the gun and asked me with wide eyes.

“Huh? Where did this come from?”

“I bought the item that was being sold on the black market.”

“……her.”

That was the pistol that Hong Beom-do received as a gift from Lenin.

“I never thought I would see this again… … .”

This was an item whose whereabouts had been unknown since Hong Beom-do used it to protect himself from assassination last time.

“You didn’t even know you’d be going out to battle again?”

“That too.”

Hong Beom-do looked over the pistol and then put the whistle in his mouth.

“Are the other soldiers ready?”

“Yes, the spirit of Lee Dong-hwi surrounded the area so that no one could escape.”

“good.”

Hong Beom-do raised the silver pistol high into the sky and blew the whistle with all his might.
