TIKAM SAMURAI'S

Episode 110's

Samurai Mats - 110

Two things caused them to not want to immediately

hand over power or weaponry to the Indonesian people. First

they surrendered to the Allies. Not to the Indonesian people. Therefore, according to

it was the Allied army's rule that their weaponry should be handed over.

If they don't do this, they can get into trouble.

The second reason is that they fear reprisals from Indonesian fighters.

For the most dreadful retribution must come from the inhabitants

colonized. And the Japanese understand very well, that for three and a half years in

This Minangkabau, they've made an unmitigated cruelty.

Therefore they fear the retribution of the people if their weapons are handed over.

There's another reason. A little hope to survive. They

expect that the high leadership of the armed forces orders to remain

fight to the last drop of blood.

And the whole Japanese army is ready to fight if the order comes.

And in Minangkabau, as well as all of Sumatra generally, they shed hope

defense in Bukittinggi city. Didn't they dig thousands of meters

the tunnel is crisscrossed. Which can be used as a defense. Aren't they

it had filled the tunnel with enough food and ammunition to

survive for one regiment for two years.

Now it's just about the command to keep fighting. That's what they're waiting for. And

therefore, they kept their weapons. They keep holding

government Control. Even though they no longer carry out acts of violence

as before the Allied subjugation, but they still retaliate against the attack

coming from fighters.

Their reason was to maintain order ahead of the arrival of the Allied Army. And

when the Allies come they will surrender well. That's what they are

inform the leaders of Indonesia.

But the Indonesian side itself is not not trying well to

getting weapons from Japan. The Engku Syafei in Central Sumatra

become one of the Indonesian leaders who have direct contact with

Soekarno, Hatta and Commander Sudirman in Java, trying to invite the Japanese side

deliberating.

Several meetings with Major General Fujiyama have been held. However

his efforts have not shown results. Meanwhile, the fighters

many more radicals do not care about the talks. For them

war is far more effective to seize weapons than to negotiate.

bitter to them. That is why there have been several clashes

weapons between the fighters and the Japanese army.

The frequent gun contacts that dropped the victim, solely

intended by Indonesian fighters to get weapons from

Jjapanese. They didn't succeed. From the battle at Biaro,

the fighters managed to snatch eleven beds. Two machine guns. One

a gun and a few hundred bullets.

And from the reserves in Gadut, Agam Regency, they also got half

dozen bedils. The rest, several times the ambush failed because of Japan

bring in his reinforcements. And now that news is what the courier brought

the House of Kari Basa.

“Then how are you from Sutan Baheramsyah?” Kari Basa asked.

“She said there will be a meeting tonight, in the usual place”

“Alright I'll be there..”.

The courier's gone. Now they both live back. Bari Basa and the Bungsu.

“Akiyama again..” Kari Basa sizzles slowly.

“Who is he?: the young man asked. Kari Basa looked at him.

“You don't know who he is?”

The Bungsu. Kari Basa took a deep breath.

“In the Japanese army there are some soldiers who are cruel not playing. Still remember

the treatment we received in captivity in that tunnel?”

The Bungsu nodded. How will he forget it? He still remembers how much

kari Basa's fingernails were plucked one after another. And at the moment he's lyrically fingers

kari Basa foot is not a nail. He also remembers how much his body is

with the samurai. Then his finger was broken.

“Well, quite a lot of sadistic Japanese soldiers so. And the maker only

an. Namely Akiyama!”

“Then who is Akiyama?” the young man asked back.

“His rank is now Lieutenant Colonel. Previously Major. Remember the Major you

threaten the Samurai when they ambush in Birugo?”

The Bungsu's body suddenly stiffened considering the Major.

“Still remember right?” Kari Basa asked again. With the discordant feeling of the Bungsu

nods.

“Well, it's Akiyama!”

“Akiyama..!” the young man said slowly.

“Yes. He's the one..”.
