The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 660 Five Regiments Strike South!
His heart couldn't help but flutter. *If I could train her...*
Ji Wudi's eyes were as still as an ancient well. She simply thought this saber was good, the best she had ever seen, and that was why she praised it.
The Japanese soldier opposite her suddenly revealed a lewd light in his eyes.
This kind of light had once caused her unbearable pain. She had spent the last few years trying to forget it.
Usually, when she walked on the streets of Jurong, there were people who looked at her with similar gazes, but those people only needed to glance at the guards beside her before hastily averting their eyes.
Of course, the key was that she didn't harbor any malice towards those people, so she didn't pay them much attention.
But from the eyes of this Japanese soldier, she saw that familiar, nauseating, lustful gaze again. Without hesitation, Ji Wudi thrust forward with the bayonet in her hand.
Shīna Emon's originally calm heart was thrown into disarray by lust. Seeing the incoming thrust, he hurriedly parried with the saber in his hand.
But he didn't notice that it was just a feint. Ji Wudi quickly retracted the submachine gun in her hand and thrust it towards the Japanese soldier's right chest.
If this thrust connected, the Japanese soldier would die.
Shīna Emon quickly moved the saber in his hand, trying to parry again, but his mind was already in chaos.
Having failed to parry twice in a row, his opponent had already gained the upper hand. If this were a kendo match among masters within Japan, a person who had lost the initiative like this would already be dead.
Shīna Emon didn't know why he was still able to think about such things at this moment.
When he failed to parry again, the beautiful girl opposite him actually took a half step back. The bayonet in her hand slashed downwards, revealing her ample breasts.
The saber in Shīna Emon's hand immediately thrust towards the other party's chest, while his body moved to the left at the same time.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his thigh. The beautiful woman opposite him had floated backward like a leaf.
Although the weapon in Shīna Emon's hand was about the same length as the submachine gun plus bayonet, the woman immediately took a half step back after thrusting out.
This half step was just enough to put him out of her reach.
But Ji Wudi's bayonet just barely reached him. The bayonet, which had just cut through the Japanese soldier's thigh, rebounded like a spring, thrusting downwards towards the Japanese soldier's vital parts.
This position was a bit awkward. Shīna Emon flicked his right hand upwards, and this was the first collision between the weapons of the two sides.
Neither side used much force in this collision. Shīna Emon, of course, was reluctant to have his treasured saber clash with a submachine gun bayonet.
It was simply not worth it to pit a samurai saber passed down for hundreds of years against a mass-produced industrial product.
Ji Wudi wasn't planning on fighting the Japanese soldier head-on either. It wasn't that she wasn't tough enough, but that if she used too much force, she wouldn't be able to change her moves on the fly and respond to sudden changes.
At this moment, the soldiers of the platoon swarmed up, but Ji Wudi suddenly said, "You are no match for him. Don't come up!"
She was the captain, and her words were an order!
The soldiers watched from afar, avoiding their battlefield and charging towards the other Japanese soldiers.
They could also see that this Japanese soldier wielding the samurai saber was skilled.
In these two days of fighting, this was the first time they had seen a Japanese soldier who could last so long against the captain.
"You're very smart!" Shīna Emon said with a smile, gently stroking the back of the saber. He wasn't stroking the saber, but calming his restless heart.
He appreciated this woman even more. He was already fantasizing about how beautiful it would be if he could subdue her and have her as his follower, or as his sword attendant.
How wonderful would that be?
Ji Wudi looked at the Japanese soldier expressionlessly. This Japanese soldier's level in bayonet fighting was very high, the second highest she had ever seen.
The highest master of bayonet fighting was, of course, Lin Fan. In her mind, everything about Lin Fan was the best.
But the gaze of this Japanese soldier was really uncomfortable. Ji Wudi took a step back and removed the bayonet from the submachine gun.
She threw away the submachine gun, holding the bayonet in one hand. Now the bayonet in her hand was only thirty-one centimeters long, and the bayonet blade was only twenty centimeters long.
Ji Wudi rushed forward directly.
An inch longer is an inch stronger, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous.
It was indeed inconvenient to deal with such a master with a submachine gun and bayonet, now it was much more convenient.
Shīna Emon never expected that this woman would be so reckless, using a bayonet to fight him!
Although his mind was full of fantasies, he did not show any mercy. He gave a light shout, and the samurai saber in his hand quickly swung out.
The bright saber light flashed like lightning, slashing across the space in front of him, as if cutting through time and space, instantly reaching Ji Wudi.
This time Ji Wudi did not retreat. She held the bayonet vertically, aiming it at the trajectory of the saber to protect her side. Her whole body, using the force of this impact, crashed into Shīna Emon's arms like an embrace.
Shīna Emon did not have the surprise of a warm and fragrant jade embrace. He only had fright. He did not expect this woman to be so bold, using a bayonet against her body to take his full sweep.
And also using this force to borrow strength, using it to hit his chest.
Shīna Emon did not dare to face Ji Wudi's shoulder pushing forward a little bit. He took a step back, and the samurai saber took the opportunity to retreat, preparing to fight again.
Ji Wudi took the risk of rushing into the Japanese soldier's arms, of course, she could not let him pull away from her. Her body stuck to the Japanese soldier's body like brown sugar, and she quickly followed his steps, stepping on the Japanese soldier's retreating left foot.
Shīna Emon smelled a fragrance coming from his arms, and his chest fluttered. His foot was stepped on by the other party, and his body's planned retreat to support the center of gravity of his whole body was now impossible.
Although he trained hard, his heart was filled with lust at this time, and he lost his center of gravity, but he could no longer recover.
The Japanese soldier's body fell backward, Ji Wudi followed and fell with him. She fell in the Japanese soldier's arms, and at the same time, she slashed the bayonet in her hand across the Japanese soldier's neck, and rolled away from the Japanese soldier for at least a meter.
Then she quickly stood up, picked up her submachine gun, and installed the bayonet.
She took out a magazine from her waist and replaced it. Shīna Emon, who fell on the ground, covered his neck with one hand and propped himself up halfway with the other, saying with difficulty, "You are so beautiful, can you smile for me?"
Ji Wudi pulled the trigger expressionlessly. Shīna Emon died with his eyes wide open, not knowing why this beautiful woman was so heartless.
She wouldn't even fulfill the last wish of a dying man, just a smile, it wasn't that difficult!
He would never have imagined that, for Ji Wudi, she would feel disgusted just by saying one more word to a Japanese soldier!
Ji Wudi spent too much time here with Shīna Emon. By the time she killed this Japanese soldier, the battle on the entire battlefield had come to an end.
Of the fifty or so Japanese soldiers in Ko Hayashi Eita's squad, only six or seven were still resisting.
Ko Hayashi Eita, the squad leader, saw that Shīna Emon, the pride of the entire squad, was dead, and his heart died too.
They couldn't win in terms of firepower, and they had originally planned to turn the tables when this group of National soldiers charged up for bayonet fighting, but the result was still the same.
The troops of Nagatani Kawaryūnosuke's company, following behind Ko Hayashi Eita's squad, had already discovered that they had encountered an attacking force in front.
Their task was to attack and restore the first line of defense. Nagatani Kawaryūnosuke, the company commander, was unwilling to defend.
He immediately ordered the troops to attack, attack immediately.
Company Commander Jing Liquan also led the entire company to arrive. The first platoon had just finished bayonet fighting, and occupied a favorable position on the hillside, firing down on the charging Japanese soldiers.
The current situation was similar to that of Ko Hayashi Eita's squad just now, but there was no fierce general like Ji Wudi in the attacking Japanese army who could match ten thousand men.
Platoon Leader Jing watched a team of Japanese soldiers charging up this hillside, with Japanese soldiers hiding and observing in the distance.
He immediately ordered the fourth and fifth platoons to immediately绕 (rào) around from behind the mountain to outflank the Japanese soldiers from behind.
The two platoon leaders immediately led the soldiers to charge from behind the mountain, two platoons of one hundred men. One hundred soldiers were traveling quickly through the jungle. These soldiers had not had many actual combat experiences, and it was only in the last two days that they had truly faced the Japanese soldiers face to face.
But they were professional at running. When they were in Jurong, training never stopped every day. Marching, like assassination, was the most valued by the Special Operations Brigade.
Jin Yuande, the fourth platoon leader, led the team on an emergency march, and discussed with Lü Mingwen, the fifth platoon leader, "I will lead the fourth platoon to the back of the Japanese soldiers and cut off their retreat.
You will lead the fifth platoon to occupy the hillside where the Japanese soldiers are now. When I attack from behind, you will also launch an attack at the same time."
"Okay!" The fifth platoon leader was very decisive.
The fourth platoon rushed to the back of Nagatani's company, turned out from behind the mountain, did not rest at all, pushed the heavy machine gun onto the road, and suddenly opened fire on Nagatani's company.
Suishi Daisuke's squad was protecting Nagatani Kawaryūnosuke's company headquarters and was still watching the scenery in the back. Tokugawa Toshio's squad was charging in the front.
Suishi Daisuke's squad, as a reserve team, was still waiting for the opportunity to attack. They did not expect that before the opportunity arrived, dense rain of bullets suddenly flew out from behind, catching the entire squad off guard.
Company Commander Nagatani was anxious, and shouted loudly, "Return fire! Return fire!"
At the same time, the fifth platoon also rushed down from the hillside. Suishi Daisuke's squad was attacked from two sides at the same time, and the Japanese soldiers of the entire squad panicked all of a sudden.
Squad Leader Suishi could only order, "The Uehara Kensuke platoon blocks the National soldiers charging from the road, and the Nakai Takeo platoon blocks the National soldiers charging from the hillside."
His command was still calm, and Company Commander Nagatani was very satisfied. The company commander was now surveying the terrain, thinking about the fate of the entire company.
To be precise, he was thinking about the fate of the company commander: how could he survive in such a dead end?
Company Commander Jing had already received the news that the fourth and fifth platoons were in place and were launching an offensive against the rear of the Japanese soldiers. The first company immediately sounded the charge.
The three platoons immediately rushed to attack the Tokugawa Toshio squad in front.
As soon as the charge sounded, Ji Wudi bounced up and rushed out. The soldiers of the first company already knew Captain Ji's combat effectiveness, and Company Commander Jing and Platoon Leader Li were relieved a lot.
Tokugawa Toshio's squad's attack was already very difficult, and the team, which had suffered more than ten casualties, was still suppressed on the road and unable to move an inch.
Now that the defending army on the hillside had launched an offensive, the entire squad collapsed all of a sudden, and half of the Japanese soldiers turned around and fled.
These Japanese soldiers could see clearly: there were more than a hundred people charging down the hillside, several times their number.
There were also a dozen Japanese soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in place, but they were rushed over by the first platoon and immediately all fell down, unable to block them for even a moment.
Seeing that the Tokugawa squad was so quickly defeated and returned, Company Commander Nagatani was even more anxious: he had not yet figured out how to bring the entire company back.
Now he only had one idea: to order the two remaining squads to hold on here, and he would lead the company headquarters, a dozen Japanese soldiers, to retreat to the other side of the road.
Saying "retreat" was actually a euphemistic way of saying "escape."
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers of the Suishi Shunsuke platoon were unable to block the offensive of the fourth platoon at all.
The fourth platoon pushed the heavy machine gun, the first squad advanced along the center of the road, hiding behind the heavy machine gun, and the other two squads advanced along both sides of the road.
The Japanese soldiers of the Suishi platoon were anxious as they watched the machine gun bullets unable to penetrate the small car that was constantly being pushed forward.
But there was nothing they could do. They could not retreat now, and they could not defend. Platoon Leader Suishi could only order the Japanese soldiers to fix bayonets and launch a final charge.
Several Japanese soldiers launched a desperate charge, but they were shot down before they could run a few steps.
Company Commander Nagatani left behind the two squads and was quickly surrounded and wiped out by the first company. He quietly climbed the hillside with a dozen Japanese soldiers from the company headquarters, wanting to escape.
This small team's retreat was discovered by Ji Wudi. She had good eyesight and saw at a glance that the leader was a Japanese lieutenant.
She immediately ordered, "First squad, follow me!" Squad Leader Fu Dequan quickly followed. They left the battlefield with a dozen people and quickly chased after Nagatani's company headquarters.
When Company Commander Nagatani Kawaryūnosuke led the company headquarters to the top of the mountain, they were more than a hundred meters away from the road below. Here, they could clearly see the entire battlefield: the two squads of Japanese soldiers were all finished at this time.
With a sad and indignant mood, Company Commander Nagatani and the dozen Japanese soldiers from the company headquarters did not dare to make any noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the team below the mountain.
They had been marching urgently all the way, and they were already exhausted. They had originally wanted to restore the defense line of the Mizui Itchizane company, but this task was clearly impossible to complete now.
With a loss of morale, coupled with the long journey, they suddenly felt tired. Company Commander Nagatani looked at the soldiers below the mountain, who were cleaning the battlefield and seemed to have not discovered them.
Very considerately, he ordered, "Rest in place for fifteen minutes! No smoking, no talking, no moving!"
The purpose of the three prohibitions was just for all the Japanese soldiers to sit down and catch their breath, and not to do anything else.
In fifteen minutes, the battlefield below the mountain was almost cleaned up. The Japanese soldiers of the Nagatani company headquarters saw that even the clothes of the Japanese soldiers who had just died had been confiscated.
Limited by the company commander's orders, these Japanese soldiers did not dare to speak. But each of their eyes was filled with fear: what kind of team was this?
Private First Class Satō Shichirō had not been in the Sixth Division for long, and thought that he had little experience and that all the National Revolutionary Army's teams were like this.
He asked in a low voice, "Have they always been like this?"
Company Commander Nagatani was feeling uncomfortable, and when he heard that a Japanese soldier had ignored his ban and started talking, his eyes widened. Although he did not dare to speak, he blocked Satō Shichirō from saying the rest of his words.
In fact, Nagatani already knew that this was a team from the Special Operations Brigade. Each team had its own characteristics, and there were only a few teams that could fight hard battles with the Japanese soldiers.
A team that cleaned the battlefield so thoroughly, a team that had no demeanor of a master at all, was only the Special Operations Brigade.
He stood up, bent over, and did not dare to stand straight. He said in a low voice, "Depart!"
As soon as Company Commander Nagatani's order was issued, several hand grenades flew over and exploded in the air right above their heads.
When he saw the black dots flying in the air, Company Commander Nagatani's eyes went dark and he immediately fell to the ground.
"Boom! Boom!" The explosions were continuous, and the fragments produced by the hand grenade explosions flew everywhere.
Feeling a burning object inserted into his back and arms, Nagatani felt a chill in his heart: "I'm injured."
Satō Shichirō, who had wanted to speak just now, had just stood up. He did not have the quick reaction of the company commander on the battlefield, and was hit head-on by the hand grenade that exploded in the air.
His whole body received more than a dozen shrapnel, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, unable to move anymore.
Company Commander Nagatani, who was lying on the ground, waited until the hand grenade explosion was over, and wanted to stand up suddenly despite his injuries.
As soon as the hand grenade explosion sounded, a team of soldiers suddenly rushed out of the jungle.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed in front of them. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had been blown to the ground by the hand grenades had not had time to stand up before they were strafed by submachine guns.
With intention against unintentional, the soldiers of the first squad easily killed all the dozen or so Japanese soldiers here. None of the soldiers were injured.
This made the soldiers of the first squad very happy. They were also new recruits, and they had won consecutive victories. How could they not be proud?
Ji Wudi finally had a little smile on her face. Looking at the expressions of these soldiers, they were the same as when she first joined the battle, when she first followed Lin Fan, and when she first killed a Japanese soldier.
That was joy from the bottom of her heart. The reason why she was able to perform so well on the battlefield today was related to the high-intensity training every day in the past two years. The efforts were rewarded.
Without Ji Wudi giving an order, Squad Leader Fu had already let the soldiers clean up the battlefield. The battle that took place on the hillside alarmed the soldiers below the mountain who had just finished cleaning up the battlefield.
They quickly hid, preparing for battle. Hearing Squad Leader Fu shouting on the top of the mountain, they realized that a team of Japanese soldiers had actually escaped to the top of the mountain.
They were surrounded and annihilated by Captain Ji with a squad. The first company had not continued to advance, and the follow-up support company had also caught up.
The first company's offensive was smooth, and the entire regiment's offensive was smooth. Just as Ji Wudi was leading the first squad down the mountain to rest, the regiments reported that they had completely broken through the Japanese army's first line of defense.
They were launching an offensive against the main position of Shengmi Street. At this time, Ji Wudi ordered:
"The Fifth Regiment attacks!"
