Chapter 18
But the old Japanese devil in Iizuka soon discovered that he was too optimistic.
When the first gunshot sounded, the Kuomintang army had actually approached within 200 meters. The outermost guard post was mostly for the Kuomintang army to touch the post, so it failed to fire the gun in time to warn. After the battle started, the Kuomintang army quickly approached within 100 meters with the cover of night, and then launched a decisive charge.
At this critical moment, the Bushido spirit that Japan has always admired has taken a counterproductive effect.
The Japanese army was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, so the most correct response strategy should be to be condescending and use the firepower advantage on the mountain to prevent the national army from rushing up to fight in hand-to-hand combat. However, the Japanese did not do so. When a large number of national army rushed up with bayonets, the Japanese actually opened the bolts, pulled out the bullets, and then rushed down the mountain silently to engage in a tragic and cruel hand-to-hand combat with the national army.
Until this time, Izuka was not worried. Even if it was a hand-to-hand combat, the more than 70 imperial warriors had no reason to fight and have not defeated more than 200 Chinese soldiers. At most, a few more soldiers were killed. Old Japanese like Izuka would never care about the casualties of soldiers, it was just a cold number.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Iizuka's imagination.
No matter how large the hand-to-hand combat is, it usually ends quickly in just a few minutes. And the result is that one side is completely destroyed. Iizuka guessed the beginning, but did not guess the ending. The situation was indeed a situation that was overturned, but it was not the Japanese army slaughtering the national army on the one hand, but the national army slaughtering the Japanese army on the other hand.
The more than 400 veterans of the 348th Regiment crawled out of the dead on the battlefield in Fengxian County. In Fengxian, the 348th Regiment fought with the Japanese in a row, from dark to dawn, and from dawn to dark. If these more than 400 veterans are not strong in their own qualities, how could they survive to the end without their outstanding skills?
If these veterans weren't really able to fight, how could Xu Shijiu treat Lu Jian Gang's L Company as a fist force?
In just a few minutes, more than 70 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured. Until more than a dozen Chinese soldiers rushed up in a fan shape, Iizuka had not yet come back from the huge shock. He had experienced such a scene during the Battle of Shanghai. At that time, dozens of German-armed divisions of the National Army could easily defeat any permanent division of the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat, and even the Kumamoto division, which claimed to be the strongest combat power, was defeated.
But after the Battle of Songhu, with the defeat of dozens of German-armed divisions, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army had already plummeted. When the Battle of Xuzhou, the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army was much worse than that of the Japanese army. In hand-to-hand combat, one Japanese soldier could easily destroy two Chinese soldiers, and three Japanese soldiers could easily defeat more than a dozen Chinese soldiers. Moreover, the larger the scale of hand-to-hand combat, the more obvious the advantages of the Japanese soldiers, because the Japanese army's teamwork spirit was far stronger than that of the Chinese soldiers.
But the national army in front of me completely overshadowed Iizuka's impression of the national army. The national army in front of me is tacit understanding, whether it is the cooperation between the two or the cooperation between the teams. In actual combat, more than 70 Japanese soldiers from the Iizuka Regiment were beaten to the point of no fight back in front of this national army.
(Split Line)
Lu Jianbang held the bayonet with one hand and walked in front.
The Lu Jian Gang still didn't know the exact rank of the old Japanese in front of him, but this did not hinder the Lu Jian Gang's judgment, because the old Japanese killed several veterans in the hand-to-hand combat just now, and at first glance he was a master of swords. Moreover, looking at the nervous look of the little Japanese officers around him, he was definitely a high-ranking official.
The Lu Jian Gang thought that if he could kill this old Japanese alive, he would have given an explanation to Zhang Youquan.
Iizuka retreated to the top of the hill with the protection of the adjutant and the two guards. When Iizuka found that there was no way to retreat, Iizuka tweeted a saberry and stood in front of the two guards, shouting in Japanese: "Chinese people, if you are still soldiers, come with us for a fair duel, one-on-one, or one-on-two."
The answer to Iizuka was a bright bayonet. A dozen national troops rushed up in a fan shape. The adjutant and two guards who were blocking the old Japanese in Iizuka were stabbed into blood sieve in an instant. When more than a dozen national troops were about to stab Iizuka again, they stabbed Iizuka into blood sieve, but Lu Jian Gang raised his right hand: "Wait."
The Lu Jian Gang just saw that Iizuka had killed several brothers in a row, so he wanted to kill this old devil and avenge his brothers. Of course, this guy was itchy. Anyone with a skilled man would inevitably show off in front of others. In his early years, Lu Jian Gang was a monk in the Daxiangguo Temple and learned a lot of hard skills.
Lu Jian Gang turned the bayonet horizontally, stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on the knife. Just as he was about to step forward, a thin figure suddenly snatched in front of him. This person was no one else, but Wang Yidao.
Iizuka saw the Emperor's Royal Sword in Wang Yidao's hand at a glance, because the gilded chrysanthemum pattern on the handle is easy to identify. This is a symbol of the Japanese royal family. Generally speaking, only the top six members of the Lu Da period are eligible to receive this kind of saber, which is what the Japanese military calls the saber group.
"Where did you get this knife?" Iizuka asked Rin.
The old Japanese devil in Iizuka are cruel and extremely cunning. This old Japanese devil actually has the intention to delay time. Every time he delays here for a moment, he will get more reinforcements for the main force of the corps in the city. If he is lucky, he will even have a glimmer of hope. Although the chance is slim, the old Japanese devil in Iizuka does not want to give up easily.
However, the old Japanese devil in Iizuka were destined to be a tragedy this time. Lu Jian Gang and Wang Yidao did not understand Japanese at all, and they were too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the old Japanese. For Lu Jian Gang and Wang Yidao, killing the old Japanese in front of him, cutting off his head to pay tribute to Zhang Youquan, Lu Erdan and all the brothers who fell into battle were serious.
When a master fights, life and death are often only in a blink of an eye. Due to the poor light at night, the veterans around him only saw Wang Yidao and the old Japanese fight ending immediately. Wang Yidao was unscathed, but the old Japanese's neck cracked like an open fish mouth, and blood splashed out like a fountain.
The Lu Jian Gang, who was so close to him, saw clearly that Wang Yidao had only made one move just now, drawing the sword, but just such an action not only used the hilt to block the blade that the old Japanese slashed at the opposite side, but also wiped the opponent's neck. Such a wonderful sword technique that was so wonderful that it would never be able to be tricked without being immersed in it for more than ten or twenty years.
"Brother, good knife skills?" Lu Jianbang couldn't help but praise, "The guards are platoon?"
Wang Yidao had just recovered from his injury a few days ago. Yidao immediately became infected with the disease again, so the Lujian Gang didn't recognize him at all. He just thought it was a soldier from the Black Hack Guards. Wang Yidao ignored Lu Jian Gang and squatted down and cut off Izuki's head with just one knife. After that, he cut off Izuki's right tail finger bone and put it in the trap.
It was not until this time that there were beams of snow-lit lights shining in the direction of Xingzi County, and there was also a huge roar of the car engine. Obviously, the main Japanese troops stationed in the city had already found something wrong and gathered troops to come to reinforce, but it was already this time, and the daylily was cold when they came over.
Lu Jian took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It took less than fifteen minutes from launching the attack to ending the battle.
"Start up the cleaning of the battlefield and evacuate in two minutes." Lu Jian Gang put away his pocket watch and issued an order to the officers and soldiers of the L Company. The so-called cleaning of the battlefield is actually a final blow to the wounded Japanese soldiers. What is the most precious resource of the war? It is not guns and ammunition, nor medicine, but veterans who have returned to the team after being injured.
So when every battle is over, the first thing to do is to kill the wounded Japanese people. Although doing so violates the Geneva Convention, the problem is that if the national army does not do this, these Japanese will soon return to the battlefield after recovering from their injuries, and will become more cruel and bloodthirsty than before, and will be even more crazy to kill the Chinese.
Therefore, the 19th Brigade will never let any injured Japanese soldiers go.
The young misunderstanding man was not dead. He was smashed by a national army and fell to the ground with a gun. He thought he could escape this, but he never expected that these national soldiers would have the same morality as the Japanese army. After the battle, they would have to finish the attack on the other party's seriously injured. Seeing more than a dozen national soldiers stabbing the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground with bayonets and gradually walking towards him, the young misunderstanding man suddenly panicked. He knelt down from the ground, raised his hands and begged in Mandarin: "Don't kill me, I'm just a reporter, I'm not a soldier, please don't kill me..."
More than a dozen national troops immediately rushed over and surrounded the little misunderstanding man.
The little missing man cried bitterly, begging him while begging, but more than a dozen veterans didn't buy it at all. One of the veterans was erecting a bayonet and stabbing the little missing man, but a big hand reached out from behind and grabbed his gun handle. The veteran turned around in a depressed look, but it was the company commander Lu Jian's gang.
The Lu Jian Gang stopped the veteran and said, "Tie this little Japanese back."
It has been more than a year since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, but there are not many Japanese prisoners of war on the battlefield, and only the Taierzhuang victory captured more than a thousand prisoners, but most of these more than a thousand prisoners were non-combatants from the Japanese, and there were almost no real soldiers. The soldiers of the Japanese were really fierce, and even if they were captured, they would choose to commit suicide. This time, the Lu Jian Gang was a little surprised, so he thought that he might be able to tie him back and ask for credit, or something.
After a while, the officers and soldiers of the Company L finished cleaning the battlefield and quickly evacuated.
