Beacon 1937

March [-], [-], Iwo Jima

It seems that I have almost forgotten what I live for, and fighting is just to live.

The defeat of the ally Germany is a foregone conclusion, and they themselves are just dying: for the capital behind, they are determined to fight the last person and the last bullet.

However, for Koji Ito, the only relative in the rear that he cared about is no longer there, and he just wants to live until everything is over.But...how many times of war will it take to get peace?

Always in a state of high tension, the human brain should have no time to think of anything else in this situation, but when despair hits my heart, that person's face will always flash before my eyes.All of a sudden, the haze disappeared, and the road ahead became clearly visible again.

"Major...there are only three of us left. The U.S. military has surrounded this place from above..." Endo Shinya said after looking out through the lookout.

He could have escaped the crime, as long as he put all the responsibility on Koji Ito.However, as a branch of the Ito family, Endo was indeed loyal to him, even at that time, he was still willing to go to the front together.

However, the situation in front of us is imminent.In this narrow bunker, only Koji Ito, Shinya Endo, and a communication soldier who lost his radio remained.

Koji Ito must make a decision immediately, otherwise the Americans will just pour gasoline into their bunker and set it on fire.Do you want to choose to die together, or surrender to save your life?Of course he would choose the latter.

"Endo, surrender..."

This sentence was expected by Endo, but not by the communications soldier.

"Major, we can't surrender! Surrender is shameful! Even if I can't get out alive, I'm willing to die for the empire! If... If you think there is no need to continue fighting, then I am willing to send you one last leg (Note [-])." Only Young people in their early twenties were loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and vowed not to surrender.

Hearing this, Koji Ito couldn't help but sneered, this reaction was enough to make the young man jump in anger, as if the thing he admired and admired the most had been humiliated.

"If you choose to surrender, I will definitely shoot!" As he spoke, he drew his gun and pointed it at his officer.

Koji Ito looked at him coldly, but before he could make a move, a dagger was inserted into the communication soldier's throat with a "swish".Endo Shinya's movements were too fast, and it was impossible to see when the knife was drawn. The soldier was already lying in a pool of blood and twitching non-stop.

Endo tore open the tattered pieces. It was unknown whether it was a shirt or an undershirt. It was a rag with black soil and mud on it, but it was the whitest in the field.

When the white cloth was tied with wooden sticks and stretched out from the lookout, it felt like this was finally coming to an end.

March [-], [-], Hawaii

Ito Koji and Endo Shinya were taken to a temporary prisoner of war detention center in Hawaii.Since he confessed to his war crimes and the crimes he had committed in the Chinese territory, the prison where they were being held at this time was much better than other places.Although there is not enough medicine, they are only given dry bread and water that cannot be chewed, and the hygienic conditions are even worse. They live in the same room with cockroaches and rats every day, but the guards here are still "friendly", at least there is no abuse of prisoners of war. (Note [-]).

However, Koji Ito's right hand is almost useless, the cause is that Longines watch...

That day, he unexpectedly saw Ai Wen.I thought that the other party was still in China, but suddenly came into my eyes.In an instant, it seemed as if the pores of his whole body were bursting, and the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart poured out one after another.At that moment, he really wanted to jump down and hug that person tightly.

However, God seems to have made a joke with him... Let him see him, but prevent Aiwen from discovering his existence.

Before entering the cell, their personal belongings were all confiscated.Things worth a little money will definitely not be returned, but to Koji Ito, nothing else is important, except this watch, which he absolutely does not want to give to anyone.

From surrendering to confessing his crimes, in the eyes of the US military, he is undoubtedly the most cooperative prisoner of war...except for the sudden madness on the cliff.

This time, he pressed the guard on the ground and beat him even more, and demanded the watchman back to him like crazy.I don't understand where the Japanese got so much strength that he could barely suppress him with several people fighting together.An American soldier drew out a military dagger, pierced the palm of Koji Ito's right hand, and nailed it to the table.

As a punishment, they roughly bandaged him and threw him into a cage without even calling for a doctor.

Endo Shinya, who was locked up next door, was extremely anxious and begged the guards to find a doctor, but instead of seeing a doctor, they even gave him stinky water and moldy bread.

"Young master, it's just a watch. I believe that doctor won't blame you for it. Now, all the hard-earned benefits are in vain. Didn't you always want to live? You can go out and realize your wish only if you live .Master...Master? Can you hear me? Master!" There was no response from the next door, and Endo anxiously wanted to stick his head out of the iron fence, but it was impossible, "Master! Master!"

"...don't be noisy...it's making my ears buzz." Ito Koji lay on the ground, weakly.Even with a bandage, blood still spilled out of the bandage.Without any disinfection treatment, it is very likely to suffer from other infectious diseases such as tetanus.If it continues like this, I'm afraid he will really die.But he doesn't regret it, he doesn't regret it, because without the previous fight, how could this watch be in his left hand at this moment.

"You don't understand...Endo, you don't understand...how much it means to me..."

Hearing this, Endo Shinya sighed helplessly, but couldn't think of a word of rebuttal.The only thing he can do now is to find a way to get the guard to bring a doctor in.

On this day, if it weren't for a sudden visit by a person, perhaps Ito Koji would really die in a prisoner of war camp.

John Halston was also under the cliff at the time, standing beside Ivan.He was the first person to discover Ito Koji, but he chose to keep silent to his friend.Out of curiosity, and because of the fact that this Japanese talent prevented him from killing Ai Wen by mistake, he sneaked to the prisoner-of-war camp without telling the doctor.

When Horston found out about his condition, he immediately invited a doctor to treat him... Naturally, this doctor would not be Irwin Abel.

"I still hope it will be Ivan... But, thank you very much." Ito Koji sincerely thanked him, which is very different from him before.He was very weak at the moment and felt no pain in his anesthetic right hand.

"I can't bring him here, let alone tell him you're here. You should understand the reason." Holden stared closely at the bloody right palm, and couldn't help frowning.

Ito Koji raised the corners of his mouth and smiled weakly.Of course he understood the reason why the American second lieutenant would not bring Ivan here: the situation here has seriously violated the "Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War". If Ivan Abel saw it, I believe he would directly report the situation here Get out, make it public...even if he's an American.

As an officer of the Japanese army, he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on the situation here, because in their barracks, the prisoners of war were not even given the current treatment, and were even sent to the laboratory... no matter which country they are from All the captives were treated in this cruel and inhumane way.

"Mr. Second Lieutenant, although I don't want to brazenly continue to ask you for something, but I do have one thing that I must ask for your help." Now Koji Ito seems to have removed all the equipment and weapons, and there is no more in his words. shadow.Even though it might be an illusion of temporarily putting down your figure, there's no denying that it's a world of difference.

However, Halston is a smart person, and immediately smiled: "It seems that you want to take advantage of my guilt towards Ivan?"

"Yes, the second lieutenant. Otherwise, that shot would have directly killed him."

Hearing this, the American second lieutenant shrugged and laughed loudly: "You have to know that I am just a second lieutenant, and I can't do much. Besides, I don't have any good feelings for you Japanese, and even... I can kill many people with my own hands. One is one. If you hadn't shot me for Ai Docs, you would have died in this cage long ago."

Koji Ito smiled without saying a word, a sternness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Don't worry, Mr. Second Lieutenant, I won't make you too difficult. I just hope that when everything is over, please don't put me and Endo together. Shen also sent back to China. I want to get the status of American citizenship."

"...Do you want to stay here?" Hoston was extremely surprised.

Although it is extremely unpredictable how prisoners of war will be treated when they are sent back to their homeland, Horston believes that most prisoners of war want to return to their homeland.This Japanese man naturally has his purpose in wanting to stay in the United States, but this purpose is probably... Alvin?

"Yes, I want to stay in America."

Not to mention that the Japanese took a shot for Ai Wen, if he hadn't sneaked Ai Wen out back then, whether he and Chen Yuchen could rescue him would be a question.

But as a senior officer, why did he take action to save a Red Cross doctor who was standing in the enemy camp?

Horston moved his eyes and looked at Koji Ito, who was staring at his right hand.When his eyes moved again, he found a watch tightly held in his left hand by the other party.

"...I can help you fight for this matter, but the next thing... can only be done by yourself."

"Thank you very much, this is enough for the second lieutenant." Ito Koji smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth pulled up.

The left hand holding the watch was retracted a little more.
