Chapter 1 Wang Lianchang Picks Up a Commander's Sword

Wang Lianchang picked up the command sword of Tatsuya Tsugawa, the company commander, and saw that even Company Commander Jing didn't have a Japanese command sword.

He handed over the command sword he had just picked up with some surprise, "Company Commander Jing! This sword is for you!"

Company Commander Jing smiled and said, "You personally picked this up from the body of a Japanese major today, you use it!

We don't like this!"

Meng Gaozhuo next to him said with a smile, "Our company commander wants this kind of sword; he can even find the sword of a Japanese regimental commander."

Wang Lianchang asked in surprise, "Your company dares to fight even a Japanese regiment?"

Company Commander Jing said with a smile, "Didn't we fight a Japanese division today?"

Colonel Takahashi Yasokazu was now truly in a dilemma. Japanese infantry were attacking in front of and behind him, and no Japanese soldiers were retreating from the battlefield.

But just now one of his companies had been completely wiped out. Did he have to continue the attack?

Although he had the idea of retreating in his heart, he was very unwilling: the entire division was here, and today's battle must be their victory.

Thinking of victory, Colonel Takahashi Yasokazu no longer hesitated and ordered loudly: "Attack!"

When the Japanese cavalry regiment changed to infantry and charged towards the mountain, the Japanese soldiers of the Uehara Yosuke Infantry Battalion were also working hard in sync.

In front of his battalion, the Japanese soldiers of the Koike Hideki Infantry Battalion were also working hard to rush towards the mountain peak guarded by the Second Company.

Lu Lejia, the Second Company Commander, was commanding the soldiers to fully strike at the attacking Japanese soldiers. Fighting side by side with his company was Company Commander Chu Xiuxian.

The soldiers of Chu Xiuxian's company were still very adapted to Company Commander Lu's command: as soon as the Japanese entered the range of one hundred meters, all the weapons of the two companies opened fire with all their strength.

Chu Xiuxian's company had nine light machine guns, and Wei Zijian was the machine gunner. He had never shot so smoothly as he did today.

Although the Japanese soldiers under the hillside had heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and even mortars, all these Japanese firepower were suppressed by the infantry guns, mortars, and heavy machine guns commanded by Company Commander Lu.

The Japanese had no firepower at all that could pose a threat to Wei Zijian's machine gun, which allowed him to exert his full strength.

The sound of the machine gun shooting, "Da da da! Da da da!" already had the rhythm of music. Wei Zijian was having a great time shooting, and the Japanese soldiers under the hillside were suffering.

The Japanese soldiers of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company were rushing in the forefront, and among them, Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura and Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe were rushing the fastest.

When the two of them first started charging, they did not feel how much pressure the bullets fired by the soldiers on the hillside had.

When they rushed to a distance of only one hundred meters from the defense line on the hillside, the attacks from the Special Forces warriors suddenly increased many times over.

Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura was a veteran Japanese soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly crawled to a recessed position and hid.

He used the Type 38 rifle in his hand to carefully shoot towards the top of the mountain. At this time, he was no longer seeking to be able to hit, only seeking to suppress a little the attacks coming from the top of the mountain.

Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe was obviously ignorant, and he was still continuing to charge towards the top of the mountain.

The warriors on the top of the mountain of course took special care of the Japanese soldiers charging in the forefront. Several warriors specially aimed at Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe who was charging.

They kept shooting at him, and dense bullets swept past Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe. There was always soil splashed up under his feet when the bullets hit the ground.

Soon Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe was shot and fell to the ground. He did not die for a while, and he was still trying to shoot towards the top of the mountain.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company behind him were greatly encouraged. One after another, they fearlessly charged upwards.

Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro pulled out his command sword and pointed it towards the top of the mountain.

He loudly ordered: "Kill!" Following Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro's order, all the Japanese soldiers in his squad stood up, arched their backs, and carefully rushed towards the top of the mountain with their guns.

Sergeant Taio Kobayashi, holding his gun, rushed in the forefront of the entire squad. He was extremely afraid when he looked at the gun muzzle on the top of the mountain that kept spewing fire.

It was only that Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro was forcing him behind him, and Sergeant Taio Kobayashi had to suppress his fear and charge forward. Sergeant Toshio Nakamura followed closely behind him.

Behind the two Japanese soldiers followed the entire squad. They quickly rushed to Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe's side.

In the place where Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe fell, these Japanese soldiers ignored the calls for help from Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe, who had been shot several times, and continued to charge forward.

The attacks from the top of the mountain never stopped. The Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Juichiro squad fell one after another. Despite this, they did not give up and continued to charge.

Following behind their squad were the Japanese soldiers of the entire Tenkai Ryunosuke Company. The entire company had more than one hundred and eighty Japanese soldiers. Although they had now lost thirty or forty soldiers, they still had more than one hundred and forty Japanese soldiers.

Now these Japanese soldiers had rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from Company Commander Lu's defense line. The fact that the Japanese soldiers had rushed so close still made Company Commander Chu Xiuxian a little nervous.

More than one hundred Japanese soldiers! If they were to rush into the trenches, although he had nearly four hundred soldiers on his side, Company Commander Chu still did not have the confidence to win.

Lu Lejia saw Company Commander Chu's worry and said with a smile, "Company Commander Chu doesn't need to worry. These Japanese soldiers are all paper tigers. They look scary, but they fall as soon as you poke them.

Just rest assured and let the soldiers shoot with peace of mind. These Japanese soldiers are all our dishes, and we can't let any of them run away."

Company Commander Chu smiled bitterly in his heart, "This Company Commander Lu is indeed optimistic. It is worthy of a person whose name contains the word 'happiness'.

Saying that I am not worried is a lie!"

But Company Commander Chu Xiuxian looked left and right! He really didn't see any of the soldiers under Lu Lianchang with a tense expression on their faces. The expressions on these soldiers' faces were instead very happy.

Just like what Lu Lianchang said: eating a big meal! It really feels like having a feast.

"Are they really not afraid of the Japanese soldiers?" This was not just what Company Commander Chu was thinking, but the soldiers in his company also had such thoughts.

Jiang Liang was a platoon leader under Company Commander Chu. Since the start of this battle today, he had noticed that none of the Second Company warriors who were fighting side by side with him had the slightest trace of tension.

The guns in their hands were steady, and the speed of firing was neither fast nor slow, as if an old ox was pulling a cart, not in a hurry at all.

Unlike the soldiers under his command, without the suppression of the Japanese firepower, the speed of firing was very fast, wishing they could fire all the bullets at once.

From this point, it could be seen that these warriors were the real veterans. Every shot they fired was carefully aimed. They had confidence in their hearts, so they were not afraid of firing slowly.

Platoon Leader Jiang saw the Japanese soldiers who had rushed to a position only forty meters away from the position, and he also became anxious: at this time, either be prepared to fight with bayonets, or throw grenades.

Company Commander Lu was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai so calmly, which was really worrying!

If Regiment Commander Zheng He had not repeatedly emphasized that he should obey the command of the Special Forces when they entered the battlefield, Platoon Leader Jiang would have issued the order.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were less than forty meters away from the trenches, Company Commander Chu was also anxious, not only was he anxious, but also the soldiers under his command were anxious.

Today, with the Special Forces warriors by his side, the soldiers under Company Commander Chu were too embarrassed to run away. They had now stopped shooting and were preparing to jump out of the trenches and fight the Japanese soldiers with bayonets.

At this time, Company Commander Lu saw that the Japanese soldiers were rushing close, and then he ordered: "Explode!"

As soon as he issued this one-word order, two clusters of fire suddenly exploded in front of the position, and there were two loud noises of "Rumble! Rumble!"

Company Commander Chu, who was more than thirty meters away, and the warriors in the position felt the ground shaking.

The Takahashi Juichiro squad, which was facing these two directional mines, and the more than one hundred Japanese soldiers of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company behind them, all suffered the thousands of iron pellets that exploded from the two mines.

These more than one hundred Japanese soldiers were equivalent to being attacked by thousands of bullets at this moment. On average, each Japanese soldier could receive at least forty bullet gifts and could not refuse.

Although some Japanese soldiers received more and some Japanese soldiers received less, and some lucky Japanese soldiers were fortunate enough not to receive a single iron pellet, the bodies of Sergeant Taio Kobayashi and Sergeant Toshio Nakamura, who were charging in the forefront, were blown by the air current lifted by the mines and rolled down the hillside.

Their bodies were hit by an unknown number of iron pellets. The two Japanese soldiers, Sergeant Taio Kobayashi and Sergeant Toshio Nakamura, rolled all the way down, leaving a trail of blood all the way.

It was like a bloody road extending from the top of the hillside to the depression in the middle of the hillside. Sergeant Shunichi Ikebe was still lying motionless on the ground. He had been charging in the forefront just now, but he had to fall here and wait for rescue because of his injury.

Now seeing two Japanese soldiers who had just refused to save him rolling down the hillside and falling motionless beside him, he kindly crawled over and knew that these two Japanese soldiers could not be saved with just one glance.

As soon as the bodies of the two Japanese soldiers stopped, blood flowed out from under them, and these blood seemed to meander down the hillside quickly.

The entire Takahashi Juichiro squad of more than fifty Japanese soldiers had already suffered a lot of casualties after charging all the way up. Now, being blasted by two mines head-on, less than ten Japanese soldiers in the entire squad were fortunate enough not to be injured.

When the Japanese soldiers of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company had just charged up, Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura seized the opportunity to join the middle of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company and charged upwards with them.

After the Japanese soldiers of the entire Takahashi Juichiro squad fell down, the Japanese soldiers of the Tenkai Ryunosuke Company behind them also fell down a lot.

This situation was something that Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura had not expected. Although he was fortunate enough not to be hit by a bullet and fall down, he had now become one of the very conspicuous survivors on the battlefield.

Company Commander Tenkai Ryunosuke had just been happily waiting to rush into the trenches of the Special Forces and enjoy the joy of victory.

The sudden two explosions seriously frustrated his plan, and what made him even more angry was that less than fifty Japanese soldiers in the entire company were now standing, and no less than three hundred Special Forces warriors rushed out of the trenches on the top of the mountain.

Company Commander Chu Xiuxian and the soldiers under his command watched the Japanese soldiers who were rushing close and were about to rush into the trenches suddenly being blown up and falling to the ground.

Most of the charging Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. At this time, Company Commander Lu's second order came: "Rush up! Kill!"

The Special Forces warriors immediately followed Company Commander Lu and rushed out. The soldiers under Company Commander Chu had been prepared for a long time and had been waiting for this order.

The speed of their charge was not slower than that of the Special Forces warriors. The Second Company of the Fifteenth Regiment of the Special Forces had 250 warriors, and the Second Company of Chu Xiuxian had more than 130 soldiers. The two companies, with a total of nearly 400 soldiers, rushed out together.

This made Company Commander Tenkai Ryunosuke feel embarrassed. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid! He had about fifty Japanese soldiers who had become frightened birds, and were fighting with bayonets against more than three hundred soldiers rushing down from the hillside.

There was absolutely no suspense as to who would lose and who would win, but he could not lose the spirit of Bushido. Company Commander Tenkai Ryunosuke could only pull out his command sword and order loudly: "Kill, kill!"

At the same time as issuing the order, he also迎上去 towards the Special Forces warriors rushing up. This time, Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura had no way to find a hidden place to hide again.

He could only speed up his pace and rush forward. Those of them who were charging behind could only hope that the Japanese soldiers in the front could be more valiant.

If the ten or so Japanese soldiers in the front could kill ten or so Special Forces warriors in one encounter, then the remaining warriors would definitely be afraid and run away.

Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura had seen too many such situations. Now their strength was far lower than the number of National Army soldiers, but as long as they exerted their ability to fight three enemies with one,

The courage of the National Army soldiers to charge would disappear. They would be afraid of blood and would retreat. Company Commander Tenkai Ryunosuke was also thinking this way at this time.

That was why he sped up his pace at all costs, trying to rush to the front line and get off to a good start.

It was just that on the initial charging road, he had always been in the middle of the entire company, and now it was too late to think about rushing to the forefront.

Quick as a flash of lightning, Company Commander Lu rushed into the Japanese ranks in less than ten seconds over a distance of thirty meters. Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro was also thinking about getting the first kill and scaring the National Army team that was rushing down.

He was feinting an attack now and was standing in a lower position, so he swept his command sword horizontally towards Company Commander Lu's waist, wanting to cut Company Commander Lu in two.

At the same time, Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro's body shrunk downwards, thinking of dodging the shot that Company Commander Lu stabbed directly at his chest.

Cunning Japanese soldier! Company Commander Lu cursed inwardly, watching the Japanese soldier shrink his head and chest like a turtle, dodging the knife he stabbed out, while the Japanese soldier's command sword swept towards his waist.

Company Commander Lu could only take advantage of the situation to block the rifle in his hand to the side, blocking the Japanese soldier's sweeping command sword, forcefully lift his left foot, bend his right knee, and press his whole body towards the opposite Japanese soldier.

Takahashi Juichiro thought that the National Army soldier on the opposite side might parry, but he did not expect that the other party would actually rush up with his command sword still outside and unable to be retracted.

Now Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro was in trouble. Before he could retreat, his chin was lifted upwards by the opposite knee, and his entire body fell backwards.

The command knife in his left hand no longer had any moves, and directly flipped upwards towards the sky, and his left foot also took a step back.

As soon as he took this step back, a great force came, and he could not stabilize his center of gravity at all. Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro unconsciously staggered backwards with his right foot.

Taking advantage of his unsteady footing, Company Commander Lu stabbed forward with the rifle in his hand. This time Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro had no chance to react again. He was stabbed in the chest, and the tip of the knife was exposed in his back.

He screamed in fright, and before the scream stopped, Company Commander Lu had already pulled out his bayonet and added another knife to his throat. This time Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro could no longer make a shrill scream.

His throat gurgled with blood, and his body could no longer stand steady and fell backwards, rolling down the hillside with a gurgling sound.

The battle between the two of them actually ended in the blink of an eye.

Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura was closer and saw it clearly: the National Army soldier rushing in the front was an expert!

He did not want to face this expert, but Company Commander Lu had already set his sights on him, and with another advance towards the Japanese soldier in front, the rifle in his hand stabbed towards the Japanese soldier's chest like a dragon and a tiger.

Now Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura could no longer dodge. He could only吼in a voice and stab the rifle in his hand diagonally forward. He stabbed with skill.

He stabbed diagonally, and the tip of the bayonet just blocked the tip of Company Commander Lu's bayonet outside, so Company Commander Lu's rifle was引to the outside by him with inertia.

Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura, taking advantage of the fact that Company Commander Lu was in mid-air at this time and could not change his moves, smiled grimly and adjusted the bayonet on his hand, stabbing towards Company Commander Lu's chest.

This time Company Commander Lu could not dodge at all. In a critical moment, Company Commander Lu pushed forward the gun stock held in his right hand, just blocking the tip of Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura's bayonet.

This time it was Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura's turn to be unable to withstand the inertia of Company Commander Lu's jumping and冲. A great force came from his hand, and he could not parry at all. He could only retreat his feet.

It was just that the speed at which Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura retreated could not keep up with the speed at which Company Commander Lu advanced. Yoshino Kitamura could not retreat in time, and his body had already begun to stagger.

Company Commander Lu引the stock of his rifle to the side,引the Japanese soldier's rifle to the side as well, and kicked forward with his left foot, kicking the Japanese soldier in the chest. This time Yoshino Kitamura could no longer stand steady, and his body fell backwards. Before he could fall to the ground, he had already been stabbed in the lower body with one shot.

He screamed in pain. The scream was much more miserable than Squad Leader Takahashi Juichiro's scream just now. Sergeant Yoshino Kitamura was in so much pain that he threw away his rifle, hugged his bloody lower body with both hands, and rolled painfully on the ground.
