Chapter 89
Lin Taro hid the sword given by the Emperor behind him and moved forward step by step. At the same time, he was estimating the distance. He would give a thunderous blow just when the person on the opposite side entered within two meters!
However, when there were still four or five meters apart, the man suddenly whispered: "Imaru (take action)!"
Lin Taro was shocked by the sudden humble Japanese yell, and quickly turned over and fell to the ground, shouting in Japanese: "Amei Lu (stop)!"
#############
Gao Shenxing smiled, his face full of pride.
"Damn the Japanese, go to die!" Gao Shenxing suddenly pulled out his short sword and strode towards the little Japanese. Lin Taro realized that he had been fooled. He was so angry that he also lit up a shaky sword from behind. Not far away, Ergua, who was invisible in the dark, quietly raised the box cannon.
Gao Shenxing never took Japan seriously. Since joining the 19th Brigade, he has fought with the Japanese army several times on the battlefield and has never encountered a decent opponent, so he did not take the little Japan in front of him seriously. However, as soon as he fought, he knew that he underestimated the Japanese, and there were also assassination masters among the Japanese army.
The two had fought for several rounds. Not only did Gao Shenxing not get any advantage, but he almost died twice under the opponent's knife and held on for two more rounds. Gao Shenxing finally became anxious and called Ergua behind him to shoot. However, the Japanese on the opposite side were very cunning and could always use Gao Shenxing to block Ergua's shooting angle.
Seeing that Gao Shenxing was already in danger, Ergua suddenly became anxious and shouted in Shanghai dialect: "Sleeping high (sleeping)!"
Gao Shenxing understood it and suddenly lay down on the ground. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Ergua finally opened fire and hit the vital point of the little Japanese chest. Little Japanese screamed, covered his heart with his hands and slowly fell to the ground. Gao Shenxing, who fell to the ground, was still worried and rushed up to stab the little Japanese chest and abdomen for more than a dozen times.
It was not until the little Japanese died that Gao Shenxing sat down on the ground in depressed manner and said to Ergua with lingering fear: "Ergua, thank you this time." As Gao Shenxing said that, he picked up the little Japanese sword from the ground again, and saw that the blade was slender and the sharp blade reflected on his face became faintly cold. He immediately praised, "Good knife!"
Ergua said miserably: "Don't be good, the little Japanese cavalry are catching up."
Gao Shenxing was shocked and looked up quickly. Sure enough, he saw a few beams of light shining in the southeast direction, and a faint sound of horse hooves. Mostly the Japanese cavalry chased after the gunshots. However, when he turned around, Gao Shenxing saw another group of figures, and a familiar voice. He smiled and said, "It's okay, the captain is here!"
"Captain?" Ergua was stunned and said happily, "It's really the captain."
Gao Shenxing said: "The captain is probably chasing this little Japanese, and I don't know who."
Indeed, Xu Shijiu arrived with pursuers. After a brief exchange of fire, the Japanese cavalry that followed the gunshots were piled up and two cavalrymen were overwhelmed. Seeing that the remaining four or five cavalry quickly turned around and fled back. When Xu Shijiu took the sharp assistant sword from Gao Shenxing, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The only fish that escaped the net finally caught it.
But soon, Xu Shijiu was not happy, and Ergua sobbed and said, "Captain, the team alone is dead."
Xu Shijiu asked someone to light the flashlight and saw it. At this time, the one hand had already swallowed, and a striking knife wounded from the left shoulder to the right waist. The wound on the abdomen even overflowed the intestines. The intestines were broken, and the green feces and red blood flowed all over the ground. The eyes of the one hand were wide open and stared straight at it.
Xu Shijiu stroked his face with his own hands several times, but he could not close his eyes.
Ergua choked and said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, the team leader, the team kept calling his son's nickname before he died. Maybe he wanted Awen to take a photo of him and then send it back to his hometown."
Xu Shijiu nodded and said to the body of Dumai Shu, "Don't worry, I will take you back to the camp now, and arrange for Awen to take photos for you, and I will definitely send you the photo for you." After that, he reached out and gently stroked Dumai Shu's face. This time, Dumai Shu finally closed his wide eyes and did not open it again.
All a dozen veterans took off their helmets and bowed and observed silently.
#############
At dawn, the news finally came back to the 58th Division headquarters. None of the Japanese troops who attacked at night ran away, and all of them were killed by the 19th Brigade. There was no return. Xu Shijiu also sent more than a dozen lieutenant swords and the only assistant sword seized on the battlefield to the division headquarters. This made several divisions and brigade commanders very happy.
Especially Lin Taro's assistant knife, it aroused great interest from everyone.
"Imperial gift?!" He Lingxiao looked at the two Chinese characters engraved on the brass guardrail, then touched the chrysanthemum pattern on the hilt of the knife, and said in surprise, "Good guy, can it be the Japanese Emperor's imperial gift sword?"
"I think it looks like it." Zhang Jingming came over and tried the blade of the saber and said, "This workmanship and texture are not like ordinary Japanese assistant swords. The 1989 is the imperially-given sword."
Wu Jiguang said: "If it was really a saber given by the Japanese Emperor, what would be the identity of the Japanese devil who was killed by the 19th Brigade this morning?"
He Lingxiao said: "I heard that the top six graduates of Japanese Army University can get sabers given by the Japanese Emperor, and the first one can even be summoned by the Japanese Emperor. These Japanese devils claim to be sabers, and they are all above the top, but they didn't expect one of them to be killed by the 19th Brigade."
"Sabre Group?" Feng Shengfa said lightly, "What's wrong with the Saber Group? Isn't it just a Japanese major? A few days ago, the 61st Division killed a Japanese colonel in Zhang Huabin." Feng Shengfa said this, with no joy on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud, because he knew that this Japanese major was definitely not an ordinary major.
However, while being happy, Feng Shengfa also had troubles. The Guard Battalion failed to attack Luodian. The 58th Division failed to regain Luodian like the previous two days ago and expanded the depth of the position. As the sky brightened, the Japanese army took the initiative to regain the battlefield. The 58th Division would face an extremely unfavorable situation. Today, it was impossible to have a hard battle.
Fortunately, Hu Zongnan's 1st Division, Li Yutang's 3rd Division, Huo Kuizhang's 14th Division, Zhu Huaibing's 94th Division, Gui Yongqing's Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, Huang Jie's Eight-National Bank Tax Police Corps and other troops arrived one after another, from Liuhe to Luodian, from Luodian to Yuepu, and from Yuepu to Baoshan, nearly twenty elite divisions of the Central Army have gathered!
The 58th Division no longer has to worry about the protection of the two wings and the side rear. Now the only thing Feng Shengfa needs to consider is how to break through the Japanese defense line as soon as possible and regain Luodian or even the Lion Fortress?
#############
In Luodian, more than 200 corpses were arranged in the open space outside the town. These were all the fallen soldiers collected on the battlefield. Most of them were killed in the melee in the early morning. More than 70 corpses were wearing only pants, but these were the bodies of special forces officers and soldiers who had just been fished out of the Dijing River.
Kazuki Kazuki covered his nose with white gloves and walked slowly past the feet of the fallen soldiers. When he walked to one of the corpses, he suddenly stopped. Kinoshita Hideyoshi was following him and looked down. He saw that the corpse was also wearing only trousers, and had been stabbed more than a dozen times between his chest and abdomen. The white flesh at the wound was turned outward, which was particularly hideous and terrifying.
After looking closely, Kinishi Hideyoshi couldn't help but exclaim: "Lin Sang?!"
In the 11th Division, the daimyo, the captain of the Special Forces Brigade, is well known to everyone. Not only does he have a prominent family background, his resume is also dazzling. However, now, he is like countless fallen soldiers, lying stiffly on the grass, without any glory or honor.
He Zhiying Er sighed softly and said, "A flower of famous generals died on the battlefield of Songhu before it could bloom. What a pity, what a pity..."
Kinoshita Hideyoshi also sighed.
Looking back, He Zhiying Er shouted: "Order the brigades to dig trenches on the spot and strengthen the fortifications."
"Just digging the trenches and strengthening the fortifications?" Kinishi Hideyoshi was stunned when he heard this and said anxiously, "Captain of the Regiment, why don't you continue to attack Shi Xianggong Temple and Jiading?"
Kazuki Kazuki disagreed and said, "Kishita Sang, do you think the 44th Infantry Regiment can continue to attack?"
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was silent when she heard this. After nearly half a month of fighting, the officers and soldiers of the 44th Infantry Regiment had reached their limits in terms of energy and physical strength. Now it can be said that they were struggling to support themselves entirely by their willpower. It was already quite difficult to defend the original position in this situation. How easy would it be to launch a large-scale attack?
What is even more serious is that the Chinese reinforcements are constantly coming to Shanghai. If the 44th Infantry Regiment does not dig trenches and strengthens fortifications now, and just wait for the Chinese reinforcements to arrive, they may not even be able to defend the existing defense line, and even the landing ground of the Lion Forestry that was finally opened will be lost.
"Kishita San, the offensive and defensive force on the Luodian battlefield is probably going to reverse." Kazuoshitaji sighed and said in a faint voice, "At least we will have to take the defensive force before the reinforcements arrive."
#############
Lin Taro was killed, and even the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army, Matsui Ishione, was alarmed. Early in the morning, the old Japanese walked into the office on the Kaga aircraft carrier with short legs.
Ohara Shigemi had been waiting in Matsui Ishien's office for a while.
Ohara Shigemi failed to attack Wusong Town, and the entire special forces team was almost injured and killed, which made Tengda Jin, the commander of the 3rd Division, furious. However, Matsui Ishione did not attribute the failure to Ohara Shigemi, and transferred Ohara Shigemi to the headquarters of the condemnation army to serve as the captain of the direct special forces brigade.
"Ohara Sang, let me tell you about unfortunate news." Matsui Ishione patted Ohara Shigemi's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Battle of Lin was surrounded by the Chinese army during the mission, and it was already broken collectively."
"Battleman Lin?" Ohara Shigemi changed her face in an instant and said in a lost voice, "Your Excellency General, you mean..."
Matsui Ishien nodded and said in a deep tone: "That's right, it's Lin Sang, your wife and brother Lin Taro."
Ohara Shigemi's face suddenly turned pale, and her beloved wife's sad tears came to her mind. Five years ago, her father-in-law Lin Daba died in Jiangwan, Shanghai. Although she enjoyed all her grief after her death, she was known as the "Captain of the Military God Lin Co., Ltd.", but his beloved daughter did not have a smile on her face for three years. Now her brother-in-law Lin Taro has died in the battlefield of Songhu again. He really doesn't know how sad his beloved wife will be after learning the news.
"Ohara Sang, Ji Ai, no matter what, Lin Sang died for the sacred war of the empire. He is a real warrior, a real soldier, and is worthy of the eldest son of the 'Captain of the War God Forest'!" Matsui Ishien was also a little regretful in his heart. An excellent imperial officer died in the battlefield of Songhu.
Ohara Shigemi's face turned from white to green, and from green to sickly blush. After a while, she returned to her original face and asked Matsui Ishien in a calm tone: "Genius General, which army did it?"
