Chapter 1: Squadron!
On March 10, 1933, Xifengkou was stationed at the 217th Regiment of the 109th Brigade of the 29th Army.
Under the dark night sky, Zhang Xinghan and his comrades were leaning back against a corner behind a earth wall. At this time, a man in the distance walked to Zhang Xinghan with expressionless expressions, holding an old Hanyang Zao, sitting next to Zhang Xinghan, and using his butt to squeeze on both sides, squeezing out an open space between Zhang Xinghan and another soldier.
Then he leaned against the earth wall and closed his eyes. Zhang Xinghan shook his head and smiled bitterly at his comrades around him, feeling all in his heart. He was originally an A-class special forces soldier in the 21st century. He died accidentally during a mission. As a result, he woke up, Zhang Xinghan found that he was not dead, but traveled to North China in 1933 and became an ordinary privateer in the 217th Regiment of the 109th Brigade of the 29th Army.
Zhang Xinghan, who is familiar with history, knew that at this time, the Japanese invaders were invading the Great Wall Pass. His 109th Brigade, led by the brigade commander General Zhao Dengyu, was ordered to rush to help Xifengkou. He had fought with the Japanese invaders for more than three days in the previous period. The high ground positions outside Xifengkou changed hands several times, and blood flowed into a river.
The man beside him is named Zhao Heita. As his name is, Zhao Heita has dark skin, thick arms, and full of explosive muscles due to years of high-intensity military training. His face is sloppy. If you are in the dark, you will never see a human face hidden under this black forest.
The iron sword on his back was even more of a nightmare for the Japanese. I don’t know how many Japanese soldiers were cut down with one sword.
Zhao Heita is the squad leader of his company. Although he is the squad leader, he has no airs as a squad leader. He is straightforward and generous, and is loved by his brothers.
Today is the evening of March 10, 1933. Zhang Xinghan, who is familiar with history, knows that tonight is the night when the 217th Regiment's Big Sword Team attacked the enemy camp at night, and it is also a world-famous battle for the 29th Army Big Sword Team. However, only Zhang Xinghan knew that in this night attack, few warriors from the 500 Big Sword Team could come back alive.
As a Chinese special forces soldier, Zhang Xinghan has long regarded personal life and death as little importance. National independence and territorial integrity have been deeply imprinted in his mind. Since he has traveled back to the War of Resistance against Japan decades ago, as a Chinese soldier and a descendant of Yan and Huang, he should fight to the death to defend his country and use the blood of the Japanese invaders to clean up the unforgivable sins they committed against China!
………………………………………
At this moment, "Emergency gather!" The messenger shouted loudly throughout the night sky, and then a few sharp and exciting whistles sounded.
Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting in the corner, stood up as he heard this, and quickly gathered with the Hanyang-making rifle in his hand with his comrades next to him.
The squad leader Zhao Heita suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the gathering place with Zhang Xinghan and others, "I said Zhang Wazi, your kid's reaction is quite fast! Wait for me." Zhao Heita cursed behind Zhang Xinghan.
In less than three minutes, more than 120 officers and soldiers of the entire company quickly assembled and formed several platoons in the open space of the camp. A captain company commander walked over with a stern expression.
The captain's company commander was not tall, but he was burly, with thick and strong arms, and was carrying a stubborn iron sword behind him. In fact, all the officers and soldiers of the company, including Zhang Xinghan, all had a stubborn iron sword.
The captain's company commander glanced coldly over the officers and soldiers of the company, and said in a cold tone: "There is an order on the top of the peak, and the whole group will gather, and everyone will be there! Turn right and run forward! The regiment headquarters will gather!"
"Yes!" All the officers and soldiers of the company, including Zhang Xinghan, immediately responded to the promise, then turned to the right in unison, and followed the company commander to the group ground to run towards the regiment headquarters.
Zhang Xinghan knew his company commander. He was twenty-nine years old this year and his name was Hou Wanshan. He was a veteran. He had been in the army for more than six years and had his Wuji sword technique that made him superb.
The reason why Zhang Xinghan was able to know Hou Wanshan was not only because he was his company commander, but also because in the battle a few days ago, he saved Zhang Xinghan and cut down a Japanese soldier who wanted to take the opportunity to attack.
At that time, Zhang Xinghan had just come back to his senses and found himself in a battlefield filled with smoke, with scenes of fierce fighting everywhere, and he couldn't react for a while.
Zhang Xinghan still remembered clearly that at that time, Company Commander Hou Wanshan chopped over the Japanese and roared at him and said, "You bastard, what are you thinking? Take up your weapons and chopped off these Japanese Japanese pirates for me!"
When the Japanese pirates heard the word "Japanese pirates", Zhang Xinghan, who had a strong patriotic sentiment, was stunned and turned his head to look at the soldiers on both sides fighting around. Looking at the dazzling plaster flag, Zhang Xinghan instantly understood, and immediately roared and held the big knife in his hand tightly and rushed towards the Japanese pirates in the East.........
Soon, Hou Wanshan brought all the soldiers of the Fourth Company to the assembly site of the regiment headquarters. At this time, in the open space in front of the regiment headquarters, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were standing on the open space with big swords on their backs and grenades on their waists.
Company commander Hou Wanshan immediately waved his hand and led the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Company to join the lineup.
At this time, Zhang Xinghan discovered that from the front of the queue were several soldiers in officer uniforms. The leader was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, square face, and a proud and righteous face. There was a thick beard at the corner of his mouth. The man standing behind him also had thick eyebrows and big eyes, seven feet long, a wide chest, a burly figure, and a straight nose bridge. The few of them were all wearing military uniforms, standing solemnly in front of the queue.
After watching the Fourth Company join the line, a colonel officer walked out with a solemn expression with his head raised and his chest raised, and stood up and saluted: "Military, Brigade, my 217th Regiment Big Sword Team has all been assembled! Please instruct!"
Zhang Xinghan clearly saw from behind that the person who was talking was none other than Wang Changhai, the leader of the 217th Regiment, and his current leader.
"Yeah!" The man in the leader Zheng Tiaotou immediately looked shaking, and his voice was like thunder and said to all the night attackers: "Brothers! Today, the invaders invaded our country. As soldiers, they should shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the enemy. All the soldiers of our 29th Army guarded the border and were the first to be the brunt. They should be brave enough to take the lead, kill the enemy and serve the country! Defend the mountains and rivers!"
"Kill the enemy and serve the country! Defend my mountains and rivers!"
All the night attackers raised their right hands and shouted loudly. Zhang Xinghan, who was in it, only felt a burst of thunder-like roars sounding in his ears. In the dark night, an invisible murderous aura spread out.
From the faces of his comrades next to him, Zhang Xinghan saw resoluteness and fearlessness! Although all the soldiers knew that the battle tonight was a life-threatening death. Only God knows whether he and his companions around him would return. However, as a soldier, the only thing he could do was to execute orders and pick up the steel knife in his hand to kill the invaders!
The officer in charge nodded with satisfaction and then raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
After everyone was silent, the officer said sternly again: "Okay! I am worthy of being my Northwest man! My Northwest Army has fought a civil war for so many years, and nothing is worth showing off! But today is different! We are going to fight a national war! As a soldier, live for the country! Die for the country! If we die with our deaths, we can defend our country! Defend national independence and national territorial integrity! What are the fears of our soldiers even if they are broken into pieces? My brothers of the 29th Army! Take up the swords in your hands! Let the Japanese taste the power of our Chinese swordsmanship! I, Song Zheyuan, are here to wait for your victories."
When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he was shocked. It turned out that the person standing in front of the team was General Song Zheyuan, the 29th Army Commander. Because he stood behind and was dark, and although there were torches around him, it was still difficult to recognize the other person's face. Especially if he didn't know much about Song Zheyuan, he had searched his photos on some websites in later generations, but the photos were still very different from real people.
Just when Zhang Xinghan was still silent in the shock just now, the major general behind Song Zheyuan had already strode forward with his head held high and his chest held high.
He shouted loudly: "Everyone has it! Turn left and set off!"
Zhang Xinghan looked at the man and guessed that this man should be the famous anti-Japanese general Zhao Dengyu and Zhao. In the battle two days before the Fourth Company, although General Zhao Dengyu had led his troops to join the war, Zhang Xinghan had never had the chance to meet this legendary anti-Japanese general. In later generations, he was one of the few anti-Japanese heroes recognized by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
At this time, Zhang Xinghan was not only excited, but also a little excited when he saw the true face of the anti-Japanese general. He was able to follow such anti-Japanese generals and national heroes to fight on the battlefield. Even if he died in battle, he would not be afraid or regretful.
Therefore, when he heard General Zhao Dengyu's order, Zhang Xinghan immediately responded with excitement with all the officers and soldiers.
Immediately, the officers and soldiers, led by the commanders of each company, began to turn around and head north.
For this night attack, General Zhao Dengyu specially drew 500 strong officers and soldiers from the 217th Regiment, who were good at using big swords to form a night attack assault suicide squad. All members of the suicide squad were equipped with big swords and grenades, and did not carry guns. General Zhao Dengyu personally led the way and set off first.
The remaining officers and soldiers of the 217th Regiment followed and covered under the leadership of the regiment commander Wang Changhai!
The purpose of this night attack was to severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and to take the opportunity to regain the two high grounds lost by the 218th Regiment during the day.
These two high grounds are located outside Xifengkou. Since the geology of Xifengkou is mostly stone rock, it is difficult to dig and build positions. Therefore, the strategic location of the two high grounds outside Xifengkou is extremely important. The 29th Army occupied it and can take the initiative to advance, and can retreat to defend it. Once the Japanese army occupied it, if the Japanese army deployed its artillery positions on two high grounds, it could directly launch more effective artillery attacks on Xifengkou. Fortunately, the 218th Regiment had just lost its position, and the Japanese army had not yet had time to build artillery fortifications on it.
General Zhao Dengyu decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army at night, and unexpectedly attacked him and regained the lost position of the 218th Regiment in one fell swoop.

The contract was originally completed on the 16th, but it happened to be Friday on the 16th, so it was only Monday that the staff at Qidian could go to work for review. On Monday afternoon, Qiu Feng suddenly received a QQ message from the signing editor Sister Ye, "Hello, we have received the contract you sent, but there are two places on the contract that have not been signed by the contract!" So, Qiu Feng reprinted it sadly and then called the express delivery.
