Chapter 1 A Gathering of Distinguished Friends

When Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki of the infantry arrived at Wai Mountain, he already saw a flag planted in the middle of the road.

It read: Surrender Point!

He suppressed his anger and observed the surrounding situation.

Before even approaching Wai Mountain, he had already deployed his mountain artillery squadron on Baldy Mountain, a mere two thousand meters away.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki felt confident, as his artillery squadron had four 75mm infantry guns ready to support him at any moment.

The flag was positioned in an open area.

Within a two-hundred-meter radius, everything was clearly visible, making an ambush impossible.

Despite his reluctance, Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki had to admit:

"This location is fair!"

He had made a decision: to give due respect to the Guojun commander captured today.

This force was worthy of respect, returning the wounded.

Even the choice of location was forthright.

All of this indicated that they were a benevolent army.

Two hundred meters beyond the flag, at the foot of Wai Mountain, lay the weak, wounded soldiers of the Empire.

They should have struggled to the death upon capture, choosing honorable self-destruction.

If they had, they would have earned the title of warriors.

Now, they clung to life, bringing shame upon the entire Empire.

These wounded would not face a good fate upon their return!

Xiao Dongbei saw that the Japanese devils had arrived, and the time had come.

He strode out alone.

Reporters from both sides watched as a Guojun officer emerged.

He walked all the way to a white line near the flag.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki was somewhat nervous; he had nearly two thousand Japanese devils behind him.

Still, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Mimicking Xiao Dongbei's actions, he walked to the white line on his side of the flag.

Xiao Dongbei announced loudly:

"Pu Pengju, Commander of the 4th Regiment of the Special Brigade, Fifth War Area, is ordered to hand over three hundred and thirty-seven wounded Japanese soldiers.

Please verify!"

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki bowed in gratitude, stammering for a long while, unsure of what to say.

He could only bow again, three times in total.

Xiao Dongbei stood straight, calmly accepting the Japanese devil's bows.

He didn't need to return the courtesy!

The reporters present captured this scene.

The Japanese news reporters deliberately chose a low angle, shooting from the side and below Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki.

This made the already shorter Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki appear taller.

Xiao Dongbei waved his hand, and the already prepared Zhou Tonghai and his puppet troops raised their heads and chests.

They menacingly carried the stretchers bearing the wounded Japanese soldiers.

The doctors and nurses from the 87th Japanese Field Hospital could no longer accompany them.

Their eyes held both relief at protecting the wounded and worry about their own fate.

This was a bittersweet moment!

The Japanese devils from the Hua Da also Advance Engineering Battalion approached the white line.

They took the stretchers from the puppet troops.

Stephen, James, and the other foreign reporters swarmed around.

They took a flurry of pictures of the wounded Japanese soldiers.

They saw that the bandages on the Japanese devils' wounds were snow-white, clearly very clean.

Only the bandages of some of the soldiers who came later had a bit of bloodstain.

The areas near the bloodstains were still white.

This fully demonstrated that the Guojun had taken care of these wounded Japanese devils.

They hadn't mistreated them!

Even Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki felt that the Guojun on the opposite side was truly benevolent.

Benevolent to the point of being foolish.

Contrasting this with the atrocities his own battalion had committed on this land: burning, killing, looting, and plundering.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki genuinely felt a bit ashamed.

To erase this shame, he had resolved: to annihilate all the Guojun here.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki had clearly seen that there were fewer than a hundred armed soldiers on the opposite side.

Those carrying the stretchers were the Empire's puppet soldiers, traitors.

They were not armed, indicating that they weren't trusted.

This greatly reduced the difficulty for Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki's battalion to wipe out this Guojun force.

The reporters present suddenly realized something: the Guojun had returned the wounded Japanese devils.

Yet they hadn't taken any supplies from the Japanese side!

This completely uncompensated gesture made the foreign reporters feel that this Guojun force was truly a moral exemplar for the world.

They were upholding the standards of international conventions!

Countless flashes and photos were aimed at Xiao Dongbei and the armed soldiers who hadn't approached.

Stephen approached Xiao Dongbei, "Commander Pu! May I interview you?"

"You may!"

"Please tell me, were these men captured on the battlefield?"

"No! They were abandoned by the Japanese 18th Division headquarters when they fled.

Out of humanitarian spirit, we gave them the best treatment."

"Where did you find these wounded soldiers?"

"At Deqing Hospital. The Japanese devils seized Deqing Hospital as soon as they occupied Deqing.

They turned the entire hospital into their field hospital!

We found these wounded Japanese devils in the hospital."

"Did they resist?" Stephen asked with interest.

"No! They were very cooperative. After all, a hospital isn't a battlefield.

They had already fulfilled their duty, and we shouldn't demand too much of them.

In this regard, I want to appeal to the Japanese Imperial Headquarters.

Their aggressive war is doomed to fail.

This failed outcome was destined from the moment the war began.

The consequences of this failure shouldn't be borne by these wounded soldiers.

Based on my understanding of the Japanese nation, the fate of these wounded soldiers upon their return is worrisome."

Stephen asked with a smile, "The Guojun is currently retreating on all fronts.

The entire international community sees no hope of your victory.

I wonder, where does Commander Pu's confidence in victory come from?"

Xiao Dongbei gathered his thoughts before saying:

"This is a very good question.

I believe righteous people around the world want to know:

Why is civilization being disgraced, and why is justice being trampled upon?

Is there still hope for the victory of justice?

Here, I can say with certainty:

Civilization is being disgraced because we are an army that fully abides by international conventions.

Our nation is a country with five thousand years of civilization.

Propriety, justice, and morality have permeated the marrow of the Guojun.

Beasts can be unreasonable, can burn, kill, loot, and plunder, can ignore any laws or morals in the world.

So they may succeed for a time.

But such barbaric behavior will only allow more rational and civilized people and countries in the world to recognize their true nature.

Those who have virtue will have more help; those who lose virtue will have little help!

They have become a tumor in the entire society and will inevitably become a tumor in the entire world.

They will also become the enemy of the entire civilized world.

So they are bound to fail.

On the other hand, Japan is an island nation with extremely limited resources and population.

In fact, even at this current stage, if they didn't have your country's continuous support in terms of oil, steel, and funds.

The Japanese devils would have already been driven out by us."

The smile on Stephen's face became helpless, "I think! This may be a fact,

but I am powerless to change it."

Xiao Dongbei said with a smile, "Mr. Stephen has such thoughts, and so do many upright American people.

When there are more people with this kind of thinking, that is when your country's foreign policy will change.

This time will not be too long."

Stephen gave an understanding smile.

Xiao Dongbei continued, "We are different from the Japanese devils.

We have a vast rear area, four hundred million compatriots.

Take the recent Battle of Hangzhou as an example.

The main force of the Fifth War Area, after killing and wounding over 13,000 Japanese devils,

voluntarily withdrew, preserving its main force from being struck by the Japanese devils.

We lose territory but keep our people, so we keep both people and land!

We can completely recover Hangzhou in the near future.

And it is impossible for the Japanese devils to station two divisions in Hangzhou forever.

And even now, the two Japanese divisions in Hangzhou are actually incomplete.

Just in these two days, the 26th and 27th, my unit has annihilated seven Japanese battalions.

The actual strength of the Japanese devils attacking Hangzhou is only one division.

How many times can they withstand battles like this?

Every step the Japanese devils take forward, they will leave countless corpses and blood behind.

Justice will prevail!

Our army will prevail!"

The reporters who came with Stephen saw that the commander in front of them was so talkative.

They immediately surrounded him, asking questions one after another.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki watched as the puppet troops who had handed over the wounded had disappeared from sight.

They left immediately after handing over the wounded.

The Empire's doctors and nurses who had escorted these wounded also left.

Only the Guojun soldiers with guns remained in place.

Clearly, they were waiting for the spokesperson to preside over the handover.

Stephen finally asked, "Commander Pu! You are handing over wounded soldiers to the Japanese devils.

You only have these dozens of soldiers; aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Japanese devils later?"

Xiao Dongbei said confidently, "We have learned from such losses.

We abide by the conventions and follow the guidance of our inner morality.

But we are not inflexible.

Here, I formally warn the Japanese devils across from us:

If they dare to chase after us, we will retaliate mercilessly.

We guarantee that we can beat them so badly that even their mothers won't recognize them."

The reporters present burst into laughter.

Zhuang Mengdie whispered to Shang Yuegui, "I didn't expect there to be such talent in this kind of army."

Shang Yuegui whispered, "Two months ago, he was just a squad leader.

I heard that when he entered the Sihang Warehouse, he was just a private."

Zhuang Mengdie stared at Xiao Dongbei in disbelief.

Xiao Dongbei's analysis was reasonable, fully explaining the strengths and weaknesses between the Guojun and the Japanese devils.

Zhuang Mengdie now fully believed: Our army will win! The Japanese devils will lose! Are such talents ubiquitous in the entire Special Brigade?

I don't believe it!

Xiao Dongbei said with a smile, "Dear reporters, I have a word of advice.

Later, don't be with the Japanese devils' combat troops."

"Why? Are you going to attack their combat troops?"

"No! We won't actively attack this Japanese devil unit today.

Isn't it good to let today end as a day of peace?

But I have already seen the bloodthirsty glint in the eyes of Commander Shioidamai and the Japanese devil infantry behind him.

If they attack our army, we will retaliate with overwhelming force.

To avoid harming you, please stay away from them.

Don't let their spilled blood stain you."

Zhuang Mengdie whispered to Shang Yuegui, "He didn't even say this to us!

He's so biased!"

An hour later, as the handover of more than three hundred wounded Japanese devils was nearing completion.

Xiao Dongbei smiled and said to the reporters who were still surrounding him:

"Gentlemen! Farewell for now.

The handover of the wounded is almost over; if I don't leave now,

something unbearable might happen."

The reporters present, looking at the Japanese devils from the Shioidamai Battalion with their weapons at the ready.

They stopped asking questions and made way, blocking the Japanese devils' line of sight.

They allowed Xiao Dongbei to return to his unit.

Xiao Dongbei then said to the reporters who had just flown over from Quzhou last night:

"You should come with me too!

The Japanese devils won't protect you."

The reporters who had come with him immediately followed.

Xiao Dongbei returned to Wai Mountain, leading his unit and the remaining Japanese devils doctors and nurses to retreat.

Most of the puppet troops from Zhou Tonghai's battalion, who had already handed over the wounded Japanese devils.

Most of them had already walked out of sight.

The few remaining puppet troops here also followed behind.

Now, there was no one guarding them; they could have completely run over to the Japanese devils' side.

But not a single puppet soldier ran over.

Lin Fan, on Wai Mountain, watched the choice made by this puppet troop and couldn't help but say:

"In the end, they are still our own people!"

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki looked at Xiao Dongbei two hundred meters away.

He also looked at the reporters who were already running rapidly to both sides.

He ordered, "Notify Captain Aita Yushou to shell the fleeing unit.

Captain Kobayashi Kaede's company, pursue them.

Be sure to capture that Commander Pu from just now."

"Yes!"

The Japanese devils from Captain Kobayashi Kaede's company immediately gave chase.

Stephen and the other foreign reporters continued to film this scene.

Xiao Dongbei led his unit just past Wai Mountain and said to the reporters beside him:

"You don't need to run; go up the mountain!"

A dozen soldiers suddenly emerged:

"Follow us!"

"You have people on Wai Mountain?" The reporters immediately realized.

Just then, Japanese devil shells exploded not far away.

The reporters quickly followed the dozen or so soldiers up the mountain.

Shang Yuegui looked at Wu Xiaobao and recognized him: he was one of Lin Fan's soldiers.

Lin Fan was on this mountain!

He had been watching the scene; no wonder she hadn't seen him all morning.

Xiao Dongbei loudly ordered, "Everyone, advance at a run. Target: Rooster Cage Mountain."

The "everyone" he spoke of, of course, included the puppet troops who had come with him.

These people immediately began to run quickly.

Soon, the difference became clear: the Special Brigade soldiers, carrying weapons and equipment, ran faster than the bare-handed puppet troops.

Zhuang Mengdie, who was climbing the mountain, looked back at the agile figures. Now she didn't believe that those soldiers were afraid of running away.

She said with a smile, "Your people run really fast; are you trying to lure the Japanese devils into an ambush?"

Wu Xiaobao said sternly, "Keep quiet! Be careful not to expose the target!"

Shang Yuegui looked at Zhuang Mengdie with a mocking expression.

The little soldiers around Lin Fan were very difficult to deal with.

Back then, after she had taken a few photos of Lin Fan, they had forcibly exposed the negatives before returning her camera.

This time, Miss Zhuang had suffered the same fate, and Shang Yuegui felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Lin Fan, on Wai Mountain, saw the Japanese devils open fire first.

He smiled and ordered, "Feng Junya, bombard the Japanese devil artillery position on Baldy Mountain."

Yang Jiashi immediately spoke into the radio, "Watermelon! Watermelon! Delivering a package to Baldy.

Delivering a package to Baldy."

Wu Jun on Nanshan immediately responded, "Watermelon received! Watermelon received!"

He turned to Feng Junya and said, "The brigade commander ordered us to bombard Baldy Mountain."

Feng Junya couldn't understand a word of what these student soldiers, who had just joined the Special Brigade, were saying on the radio.

Fortunately, the soldier spoke to him in Mandarin.

The two artillery companies on Nanshan immediately began bombarding Baldy Mountain.

Lin Fan sent a telegram to Guangde from Wai Mountain: "Xiao Jianying! Fighter and bomber squadrons take off!

Target: twelve kilometers east of Guangde."

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki saw that less than two minutes after his artillery squadron opened fire.

Many shells were flying over from the distance, accurately hitting Baldy Mountain.

His artillery squadron was already urgently shifting its position.

If an artillery position couldn't counter-bombard an enemy, it could only move immediately.

Captain Aita Yushou didn't know where these shells were coming from.

Therefore, he could only move immediately.

Lin Fan continued to order, "Xiang Liguo and Gan Huaxing, immediately lead the Sixth and Seventh Companies to charge Baldy Mountain.

The Japanese devils have an artillery position on Baldy Mountain; seize the cannons.

After taking Baldy Mountain, cut off the Japanese devils' retreat.

Don't let a single Japanese devil escape."

With a radio, commanding became convenient.

Having received their orders, Xiang Liguo and Gan Huaxing immediately began their charge.

Last night, the Special Brigade had bought five vehicles in Dexing County overnight.

After modifying them, they were used specifically to push radios.

Now, the Sixth and Seventh Companies were sharing one radio, pushing the radio station.

They rushed quickly towards Baldy Mountain, three kilometers away.

Pursuing the Guojun who had handed over the wounded.

Was the task that all the Japanese devils of the Shioidamai Battalion had accepted since the beginning.

At this time, the Otari Kotaro squad was charging in the lead.

They completely ignored the puppet troops carrying the wounded along the road.

There weren't many of these puppet troops now, less than a hundred.

All of the puppet troops who had just completed the handover had gone far away, around the bend.

They were blocked by Wai Mountain and couldn't be seen.

Seeing that the handover of all the wounded had been completed.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki ordered, "Everyone in the battalion, advance!

Pursue them and eliminate them."

All the Japanese devils in the Shioidamai Battalion were advancing at a run.

Stephen and the other reporters watched as this Japanese devil infantry battalion charged forward quickly.

Remembering what Xiao Dongbei had just said, they stayed further away from these Japanese devil infantrymen.

The Hua Da also Advance Engineering Battalion, which had received the wounded, was also retreating quickly at this time.

The task of the Hua Da also Battalion was to bring these wounded back.

Today's battle had nothing to do with them.

Battalion Commander Hua Da also listened to the sound of artillery fire.

He urged his soldiers to run faster, and faster.

As for how the wounded in the stretchers felt running.

He couldn't care so much now.

The Guojun's shells were hitting Baldy Mountain.

If a few shells mistakenly landed on his head, who could he complain to?

Stephen and the others watched as two Japanese devil units ran in completely opposite directions, both at the same speed.

These reporters' curiosity was much greater than a cat's.

Curiosity killed the cat!

They followed two hundred meters behind the Japanese devil rearguard, keeping a distance.

Lin Fan stood on Wai Mountain, watching these reporters.

He said with some headache, "These foreign reporters are really dedicated!"

These reporters following behind the Japanese devil unit were equivalent to setting up a shield for the Japanese devils.

Lin Fan had no choice but to order, "Open fire! Hold these Japanese devils back."

When the gunshots rang out, Captain Kobayashi Kaede only glanced back.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki was leading the Japanese devil battalion right at the foot of Wai Mountain.

The gunshots coming from behind were aimed at the main force.

Captain Kobayashi Kaede then looked at Xiao Dongbei and the soldiers who were still fleeing quickly in front of them; their pace had slowed down a bit.

He immediately made a choice: continue the pursuit.

Shang Yuegui, Zhuang Mengdie, and the other reporters, who had just run up the mountain, were immediately taken into a dark bunker.

They watched nervously as the Japanese devils passed by below.

Then there were gunshots.

"Where is your brigade commander?" Shang Yuegui asked Wu Xiaobao.

Wu Xiaobao pointed to the other side and said, "The brigade commander is busy.

Stay here and don't run around.

This bunker has been specially reinforced and is not afraid of Japanese devil artillery fire."

After saying that, he was about to walk out from the other side of the bunker.

Shang Yuegui grabbed his arm, "I'll go with you!"

"I'll go too!"

"We'll go too!"

Wu Xiaobao disdainfully slapped Shang Yuegui's hand away, "That bunker can't accommodate so many of you.

You all stay here!"

He bent over and rushed out; the gunshots outside were intense.

There were also grenade explosions from the Japanese devils' grenade launchers from time to time.

Shang Yuegui gritted her teeth and chased after Wu Xiaobao.

The reporters who were following behind, looking at the grenades that landed not far away.

Finally, they didn't follow.

They stayed in the bunker, crowding to the narrow observation hole and looking outside:

They only saw the Japanese devils below had set up machine guns, with the muzzles constantly spewing out flames.

Looking at those flames, it was as if they were directly shooting at them.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki felt that the gunshots coming from Wai Mountain were intense.

He loudly ordered, "Mortars and grenade launchers, bombard them fiercely!"

At the same time, he ordered the signal soldier, "Immediately notify Captain Aita Yushou.

Bombard Wai Mountain quickly."

He had of course seen the foreign reporters trailing behind, and he saw that they were constantly filming the battle.

Today, Westerners were watching his performance, and he certainly couldn't screw it up.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki was secretly wary.

The Japanese devils of the Watanabe Hoshino Company were in the lead of the attack on Wai Mountain.

The three squads under his company were dispersed and charging up Wai Mountain.

There were Guojun heavy machine guns sweeping the mountainside, making the entire company's advance difficult.

However, the attack on the top of the mountain only had heavy machine guns and machine guns.

Still, the Watanabe Hoshino Company could endure it.

Supported by the firepower of the entire battalion, they finally suppressed the machine gun fire on the mountainside.

Squad Leader Mishimura Taiki immediately raised his head, waving his pistol:

"Charge! Charge!"

All fifty of his Japanese devils stood up from where they had been crawling.

They bent over and charged up the hillside.

Although the heavy machine gun fire on the mountainside had been suppressed, there would always be some stray bullets coming from elsewhere.

Constantly reducing the number of Japanese devils in Mishimura Taiki's squad.

They could accept such losses.

The forty or so Japanese devils in this direction were trying hard to charge up.

Wai Mountain wasn't high, and the Japanese devils dared to charge, and soon they charged to within thirty meters of the machine gun fire.

Squad Leader Mishimura Taiki shouted excitedly, "Charge! Charge up!"

The reporters who weren't far away on the mountainside watched this scene, and they all became nervous.

Zhuang Mengdie felt a little resentful:

"If the Special Brigade couldn't protect themselves, they shouldn't have pulled them up the mountain!

In the current situation! If they were captured, they would be treated as prisoners of war."

Thinking of the news that had been coming back from foreign countries about Nanjing these days, she couldn't help but shudder.

If that happened, she would rather die!

She turned to the five Special Brigade soldiers in the bunker, "Give me a gun!"

"What do you want a gun for?"

"To help you fight the Japanese devils!" Zhuang Mengdie said as a matter of course.

...

Just then, there were several loud explosions outside.

"Thank you for your kindness! We'll fight the Japanese devils; you guys cheer us on."

The reporters who had been looking at the outside through the observation hole.

Saw flashes of fire outside, and then a huge explosion.

Smoke rose, and everything became unclear.

But before the smoke rose, they had seen all the dozens of Japanese devils who had been charging fall down.

Zhuang Mengdie heard the explosion and quickly ran back to the observation hole.

She rudely pulled away two male reporters and leaned into the observation hole to look at the battlefield below.

Now all she could see was smoke, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

She asked the reporters who had been watching the battlefield, "What happened down there?"

But her beautiful eyes were looking at the soldier who had just spoken.

The soldier said, "This round of the Japanese devils' attack has been repelled.

They just stepped on the mines we laid.

None of those Japanese devils will survive."

"You had ambushes prepared!" An excited flush rose on Zhuang Mengdie's face.

"Yes!" This was very normal, okay!

"Why didn't we run into them when we came up the mountain?"

"Good mines don't explode on our own people." The soldier said with a smile.

His smile made Zhuang Mengdie want to rush up and beat him up.

Seeing that the beautiful reporter in front of him was dissatisfied.

The soldier paused, and then said, "They weren't set up when you came up the mountain!"

Anyway, these reporters weren't clear about the detailed situation here.

It was better to say a few lies than to reveal the whole story.

The reporters all believed it.

"Those dozens of Japanese devils were all killed?" Zhuang Mengdie said in disbelief.

"Of course not; we can only see these fifty or so Japanese devils in this direction.

The Japanese devils also have attacking squads in other directions.

They all died!

Don't go to the entrance.

On the battlefield, who knows which will come first, accidents or tomorrow.

What we have to do is: try to avoid accidents."

"Accidents or tomorrow!" Zhuang Mengdie repeated.

This Special Brigade was indeed full of talent!

Captain Watanabe Hoshino had never imagined:

That his Mishimura Taiki squad and Idayota Takuya squad, after a few explosions.

Would be wiped out like this!

This was too unscientific!

He didn't dare to believe his eyes, and he didn't want to believe this fact.

Now the entire Watanabe Company only had one squad and the company headquarters left.

This time, without Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki's urging, Captain Watanabe Hoshino personally led his last soldiers to launch an attack.

Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki heard the big explosion on the mountainside.

He also saw that the warriors on the mountainside, after the explosion, didn't stand up to continue charging.

Not even a single Japanese devil stood up to run back.

This made him feel棘handy.

At the top of the mountain, the reporters hiding in the bunker were looking at the outside with joy from the observation hole, watching the hazy scene.

The entire mountainside battlefield was shrouded in smoke, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

At this time, they realized that the scene that had just happened hadn't been captured with photos.

They wanted to take a few photos when they discovered the problem.

The observation hole wasn't big, and they couldn't even stick the camera out.

They wanted to run out of the bunker to take pictures, but they weren't allowed.

As long as they followed the soldiers' rules, their attitude was extremely good.

If they wanted to do things beyond their rules, the soldiers would resolutely refuse.

The soldier who had spoken to Zhuang Mengdie said:

"Each of you is a pillar of the country.

The brigade commander said: Your battlefield is in the newspapers, in the war of public opinion.

To clear the fog for the people of the country and point out the direction.

To boost morale and persevere in the war of resistance.

You can't be hurt here in the slightest.

So, if you insist on breaking out by force.

We can only tie you up.

And let you out after the battle is over."

Looking at the way he spoke, none of the reporters doubted that he was lying.

These soldiers could really do it.

The battle on Wai Mountain had been going on for fifteen minutes.

Lin Fan ordered, "Hua Deze, lead the Second Company; Shan Huacan, lead the Third Company to support Wai Mountain immediately."

Captain Kobayashi Kaede's company was pursuing the fleeing Guojun soldiers in front.

He could already see that they were almost at Rooster Cage Mountain.

The soldiers' pace had sped up a lot.

It seemed there was a receiving unit here.

Captain Kobayashi Kaede gave an order, telling the Japanese devils to be careful of possible ambushes by the Guojun on Rooster Cage Mountain.

The Otari Kotaro squad, which was charging in the front, didn't slow down their pursuit.

They hadn't run much distance from Wai Mountain to here.

The Guojun soldiers in front were already very tired.

This was a good sign! Just then, they didn't know which Japanese devil had triggered something.

The whole earth was shaking, and a huge explosion sounded.

Countless black dots flew towards these Japanese devils.

Hearing the explosion.

Xiao Dongbei immediately stopped, and in the astonished gazes of Zhou Tonghai and his puppet troops.

The Special Brigade soldiers, who had been running out of breath, seemed to have suddenly been injected with chicken blood.

They turned around and rushed towards the position of the explosion.

This time, their charge was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

They were agile and fast!

With such speed, if they had come to escape.

The Japanese devils behind them would probably have given up the chase.

At the same time, a unit rushed down from Rooster Cage Mountain.

Their speed was also not slow; they also rushed quickly towards the location of the explosion.

As if they were going to deal with an emergency!

Squad Leader Otari Kotaro bore the brunt of all the attacks from the front.

He fell silently.

His whole body was covered with countless wounds.

None of the Japanese devils in the entire squad behind him were spared.

Captain Kobayashi Kaede, who was running in the middle of the unit, was lucky to have only three iron pellets in him.

He wouldn't die immediately!

He was still able to stand stubbornly.

He looked blankly at the entire company in the smoke.

Most of the Japanese devils were lying on the ground, and many Japanese devils were still groaning while rolling around.

Obviously, they had suffered significant injuries.

The pain had exceeded the limit of what these Japanese devils could endure.

Even the Japanese devils who were barely standing were like Captain Kobayashi Kaede.

Blank, helpless, and looking so weak! Captain Kobayashi Kaede also saw his company's target in the distance through the smoke.

At this time, they were rushing over at the speed of a galloping horse.

"Run!" Captain Kobayashi Kaede gave the most correct order at the first moment.

Then he also set an example, running towards Wai Mountain.

He didn't know why?

This time when he was escaping, he felt exhausted, and his running steps were as heavy as a mountain.

As if the Japanese devils who had died on this road were invisibly reaching out their dark hands.

Clinging to him.

Or perhaps the screams of the Japanese devils who were constantly groaning were dragging him back.

It wasn't just Captain Kobayashi Kaede who couldn't run.

The remaining Japanese devils were the same.

Their fleeing steps were faltering, difficult, almost moving one step at a time towards Wai Mountain.

Xiao Dongbei had a deep blood feud with the Japanese devils.

He was leading the soldiers of the First Company of the Fourth Regiment, who were also his absolute main force.

The one hundred soldiers who came today were specially selected veterans.

These soldiers were fast, and the soldiers rushing in the front caught up with Captain Kobayashi Kaede, who was running away.

The bayonet went in from his back and came out from his chest.

Captain Kobayashi Kaede had a look of relief on his face.

At this time, he felt as if his whole body had become light.

The invisible hands that had grabbed his feet had all let go.

The entire Kobayashi Kaede Company had less than thirty Japanese devils who could escape.

Only a dozen soldiers from the First Company led by Xiao Dongbei were chasing the Japanese devils.

The soldiers behind were giving the Japanese devils who had fallen to the ground a finishing shot.

When the Second Company Commander Hua Deze of the First Regiment led his troops past, he didn't stop.

He shouted loudly, "Fourth Regiment Commander! We're going up first!"

Third Company Commander Shan Huacan of the First Regiment didn't dare to be as casual as Hua Deze.

He stopped in front of Xiao Dongbei and saluted, "Fourth Regiment Commander! My company has been ordered to support Wai Mountain."

Xiao Dongbei waved his hand with a smile, "You go first; I'll clean up the Japanese devils here and come."

"Yes!"

Xiao Dongbei smiled and muttered, "Good young man! So polite."

The bayonet on the rifle stabbed straight into the throat of a groaning Japanese devil soldier.

At this time, if Battalion Commander Shioidamai Takaki saw it, he would definitely not say that Xiao Dongbei was a moral and righteous model soldier.

Xiao Dongbei led his troops only to give the entire Kobayashi

Kaede Company's Japanese devils a finishing shot.

He didn't even clean up the weapons and ammunition on the ground.

And immediately followed the two companies that had run past in front, chasing after them.

Shan Huacan's Third Company had been running behind.

Now it had also disappeared from sight.

No one cared about the short battle that took place under Rooster Cage Mountain.

No one saw it!

Only the more than two hundred corpses lying scattered on the ground silently told the cruelty of the battle in the past few minutes.

Fourth Company Commander Shan Chengfu and Fifth Company Commander Chen Xing, after receiving Lin Fan's order, immediately charged towards Baldy Mountain.

In the three-kilometer road, the soldiers of the two companies arrived in less than twenty minutes.

Captain Aita Yushou had also sent soldiers to search the top of the mountain when he had just arrived at Baldy Mountain.

The entire summit was in its original state; let alone Guojun soldiers.

Even the vegetation on the hillside had not been damaged in the slightest.

Instead, after their Japanese devils had passed, the moss on the hillside had left traces of the soldiers passing through.

"Safe!" This was Captain Aita Yushou's evaluation.

They were setting up positions on the mountain, and the situation was not tense, and after checking, they no longer guarded the top of the mountain.

Not to mention after the shells bombarded them, the entire company was in a panic to hastily clean up their cannons and transfer their positions.

His company had a total of four Type 92 infantry guns.

It was convenient to transfer the cannons; the cannons weighed five hundred pounds.

A few soldiers could move them by pushing them.

It was just that the shells also needed the soldiers to transfer them together.

The entire company had encountered this kind of situation not for the first time, and they acted very quickly.

They had just pushed the cannons to the highway under Baldy Mountain.

Heavy machine gun bullets were hitting down from Baldy Mountain.

Shan Chengjian held a rifle and fired at the Japanese devils pushing the cannons.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the Japanese devils hadn't been prepared.

Every time he fired a shot, a Japanese devil would fall down.

Shan Chengfu was simply too comfortable fighting the Japanese devils like this.

It was far away, and there was also the machine gun and heavy machine gun fire of the entire company sweeping.

Completely protecting his sharpshooting.

The Japanese devils pushing the cannons quickly fell down seven or eight.

These Japanese devils were not stupid either.

They threw down their cannons and ran away in panic, searching for a position to hide.

Captain Aita Yushou watched the attack coming down from Baldy Mountain.

The Guojun was high up, and his company was at an absolute disadvantage.

And the artillery company was just a noob at this kind of close combat.

It seemed that the cannons couldn't be pushed away either.

Thirty-six strategies, running was the best!

In order to preserve his strength, Captain Aita Yushou shouted loudly, "Rally to the battalion!"

He was like a child after being beaten, hoping to find his parents and get revenge.

The foreign reporters, Stephen, were originally watching the excitement two hundred meters away from the Shioidamai Takaki Battalion.

Hearing the sound of intense gunfire coming from Baldy Mountain behind them.

Of course, these reporters knew that there was a Japanese devil artillery company on Baldy Mountain.

That artillery company was on Baldy Mountain in front of them.
