Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 487: Devil-like Troops

Duan Peng led the third battalion along the southeast mountain road, all the way down, until they saw a road that was one car wide.

The avenue was full of Japanese soldiers, all sitting on the roadside to rest.

The reason was simple. The vanguard had been blocked in Huairen and the team was unable to move forward for a while. In order to avoid being gathered under the firepower of the independent column, they could only keep their distance as much as possible.

Duan Peng hid on the hillside more than a hundred meters away, repeatedly observing the formation of the Japanese soldiers, but found that this group of Japanese soldiers seemed to be different and did not look like combatants.

"Captain of the Third Battalion, why do these little devils look like intellectuals? Although they are wearing military uniforms, they don't have the fierceness of the little devils."

When the third battalion commander heard this, he realized that he had not noticed this, so he immediately took out a telescope and carefully looked at the Japanese soldiers who were resting at the foot of the hillside.

Eight out of ten of these little Japanese devils wore glasses and really looked like intellectuals.

"Captain, now that you put it that way, you really sound like an intellectual. Could you be a technical soldier of the Japanese?"

Duan Peng was also unsure. At this time, the soldiers who were scouting the front and back of the team came trotting over.

"Commander, Battalion Commander, this unit seems a little strange. Although there are other units in front and behind them, they all keep a distance of one or two miles from them, as if they are deliberately avoiding them."

"Moreover, we found that except for a small number of them carrying machine guns and Type 38 rifles, most of them did not carry rifles! Instead, they carried wooden boxes!"

Duan Peng frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right. He believed there must be something wrong.

"Third Battalion Commander, go and catch a tongue! The rest of the soldiers remain alert, and evacuate immediately if you are unsure of the situation!"

"Yes!"

The third battalion commander personally led a squad of soldiers to the foot of the mountain and just in time caught a Japanese soldier who was peeing in the woods.

The unfortunate Japanese soldier was dragged to a valley about a mile or two away from the main road, and then the smelly socks were torn out of his mouth.

Duan Peng found a soldier who knew Japanese and started questioning him.

"Name, unit number!"

Although this Japanese soldier was wearing glasses and looked sophisticated, he did not take Duan Peng's questioning seriously at all and was full of disdain.

"Hmph, you don't want to tell me, right?"

Duan Peng knew the nature of the Japanese devils. They probably wouldn't say anything unless they suffered a little.

So he drew the dagger from his waist, pressed the Japanese soldier's hand to the ground, and stabbed it with the knife, nailing his hand to the ground.

The Japanese soldier let out a heart-wrenching cry and suddenly fainted.

Duan Peng looked at the third battalion commander and the soldiers around him awkwardly and smiled.

"I didn't expect this little devil to be so fragile?"

Duan Peng pulled out the dagger with force, and the Japanese soldier's body twitched and he fainted again.

"search!"

Several soldiers stripped the Japanese soldier naked and took out his ID from his pocket.

"Private Officer Jiro Ishihara of the 731st Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria."

Duan Peng seemed to be electrocuted. He immediately threw his ID to the third battalion commander and found a chemical protective suit from the Japanese soldier's personal belongings.

Duan Peng, with a grim face, handed the chemical protective suit to the soldier beside him.

"The damn Japanese have brought their poison gas warfare to our Taiyuan!"

"Captain, is this the Unit 731 that the Chief of Staff talked about in class? The unit that we were told not to leave a single person alive if we found them?"

Duan Peng nodded.

This was the Japanese Army's 731 bacterial unit that committed heinous crimes in China, conducting human experiments on the Chinese people in Northeast China, and they called it Maluda or Yuanmu.

The experiments conducted were even more outrageous, including grenade experiments, frostbite experiments, flamethrower experiments, plague experiments, etc.

The most unbearable thing is that in order to verify the impact of bacteria on the fetus, the Japanese even captured Chinese pregnant women for experiments!

The Japanese launched biological warfare in Ningbo in 1940, in Changde in 1941, and along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway in 1942.

In just 20 counties in western Shandong, including Liaocheng and Linqing, soldiers and civilians were killed!

The soldiers of the airborne regiment have all received three-defense education, so dealing with the Japanese's biological warfare is naturally no problem for them.

"Captain, give the order. We can't let the Japanese weapons reach the front line, and we can't let them harass our soldiers and civilians!"

Duan Peng nodded. Even if they had to surrender the entire Third Battalion of the 202nd Airborne Regiment to the southeastern foot of Hengshan Mountain, they would destroy the Japanese's biological weapons on the spot.

"We don't have any protective clothing, so we can only rob the little devils! Third Battalion Commander, you must immediately inform the soldiers of the situation, and then start catching the little devils. Try to get as many protective clothing as possible before the battle begins!"

"Yes!"

Duan Peng reported the situation to Li Yunlong and Wang Meng, asking them to remind the armored divisions to pay attention to protection, because he was not sure how many biological weapons the Japanese would have flowed to Datong!

Wang Meng was also stunned when he received the information. He didn't expect to come into direct conflict with Unit 731 so soon.

"Tell Duan Peng to destroy the bacteriological weapons on the spot, no matter how much it costs! If you have any difficulties, you can raise them immediately!"

The reason why Wang Meng was so nervous was that the power of biological weapons was too terrifying.

The bacterial weapons developed by the Japanese are all highly pathogenic and virulent microorganisms. They only need a little contact to cause infection, which then spreads rapidly and spreads over a large area.

For example, if 100 kilograms of anthrax spores were released and spread in a large city by airplanes, missiles, or rats, the lives of 300 million people would be endangered.

There are many ways of transmission, such as direct contact, inhalation, and insect bites, which can cause infection. Especially the bacterial weapons invented by the Japanese that use fleas as carriers are even more difficult to prevent.

Two minutes later, Duan Peng called back: I guarantee to complete the task!

Duan Peng did not make any requests because he knew that even if there were difficulties now, he had to complete the task.

The third battalion commander hurried back.

"Captain, the mission has been assigned. No soldier has backed down. They all said that even if they have to perish together with the Japanese, they must destroy the biological weapons!"

"All good! Get ready for battle!"

The third battalion commander pointed at Jiro Ishihara lying on the ground.

"What should he do?"

"I only remember one sentence the chief of staff said: the devils in Unit 731 are not human beings. Since they are beasts, they should be humanely destroyed!"

Wang Xikui walked towards the awakened Ishihara Jiro with a smile.

A sharp blade enlarged in Jiro Ishihara's pupils, followed by a chill that pierced his heart.

"Humph, letting him die so easily is really taking advantage of him!"

"Don't bother with him, prepare for the next battle!"
