"Look! That! A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly found the Qing boy, he was running along the Zhuangzi to the east, Takegami Shaozo looked at the boy running in the distance, grabbed the rifle of the soldier next to him, aimed at it and then "bang" a shot over, only to see the running boy in the distance was shocked and fell to the ground, when he wanted to get up and run again, Takegami Shaozo pulled the bolt, pulled the flight and shot over, and then the boy did not move.

Watching the Toyo-sama shoot the little rabbit cub who escaped, Ma Sanbao was very gloating, he had long known that the little rabbit cub was a scourge, but he couldn't understand Japanese, and he didn't know that the foreign-sama had believed the little rabbit's words. When most of the Japanese army bypassed the blocking company and ran to the village, he still didn't see that something was wrong, and it was only after he picked up the Japanese military ticket that had fallen from his arms because of running that he realized that the Japanese army had listened to the little rabbit cub and ran in the wrong direction. Seeing that the little rabbit cub was dead, Ma Sanbao smiled flatteringly at Takegami Shaozo: "My lord, it's right to kill, I should have killed it a long time ago, I just said that ......."

Before Ma Sanbao finished speaking, half of his head was cut off by Yoshida Nakasa on the side, and then the rest of his body stood up for a while and fell, and the Japanese military ticket he was holding fell to the ground. Yoshida Nakasa withdrew the bloody command knife, and put it into the sheath as usual, for him, the Qing country was hateful when he was a young man before, and this Qing country man who was full of money was even more hateful, if he didn't pick up those military tickets, he wouldn't have come here. Yoshida Nakasa, who had finished splitting Ma Sanbao, was still resentful, he flew up and kicked the remnants of Ma Sanbao to the side, and scolded loudly, "The people of the Qing Kingdom deserve to die!" โ€

In a critical situation, Takegami didn't care that Yoshida Nakasa was on fire. He said: "Your Excellency, it seems that the headquarters of the Independence Army is inside the village at present, and we should act immediately!" โ€

When Yang Rui rushed from the headquarters to the west of Zhuangzi with a gun on his back, the battle started in the north, because the fighting on the periphery was tense. In fact, the second trench outside Zhuangzi was only defended by the dilapidated engineer battalion, and more than 500 people had to defend Zhuangzi within a radius of 800 meters, and the personnel were still very scattered, but after the Japanese army broke through the first trench, they did not go directly to Zhuangzi, but ran to the land temple in the north of the village, so it was delayed for a few minutes. So that the engineer battalion commander Lin Songjian was able to continuously transfer soldiers to the north of the village. There are no shotguns, no mortars, only rifles, grenades and sapper shovels, can these things withstand the Japanese army? Lin Songjian didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it, he only knew that if he didn't block it, it would be all over.

There is no temptation. There were no fancy, the first charge of the Japanese army was three squadrons, many of these soldiers were specially selected veterans, who had been in battle for a long time, and did not care about the bullets and grenades fired from the opposite side, and rushed forward fiercely, but when they were about to rush to the defenders' positions. Suddenly, he disappeared from the ground, and when the soldiers behind him caught up, he realized that the people of the former Ming had fallen into a deep trench, and the people were strung on slender wooden spears, and the dead and the undead were miserable. How could there be such a trench on the seemingly flat road ahead? Lieutenant Sato didn't have time to think about it, and in the rain of bullets from the defenders, he led people along the trench for a while, and under the temptation, there were now such traps, so he had to go back.

Lin Songjian watched the first charge of the Japanese army end like this, and there was a slight smile on his face, Zhuangzi already had a trench to prevent bandits. After the troops were stationed, he set them up again, found some useless tents, covered the trenches by the key entrances, and sprinkled some thin soil on them, so that those who did not know why would fall into the trenches and be pierced by the wooden spears there, as for his own troops. then there are specific channels.

The first attack unexpectedly failed, and seeing more and more defenders in the village, Takegami Shaosa said: "Your Excellency, we will attack again, if we can't enter the village, we can only attack to the north." โ€

"Attack north?" Yoshida Nakasa was surprised.

"Yes. Now we have no equipment, the trench cannot be broken, and there is a high probability that we will be surrounded by enemy troops here. Since we could not enter the village, we would attack the front line of the Independence Army backwards, they were not many in force, and they should be very tired under our continuous attacks, and if they were attacked from the rear they would be in confusion, so that the 1st Division could rush in. "Takegami is worthy of being a staff officer with brains, attacking the enemy's headquarters and attacking the enemy's front-line defenders from the flank are actually the same, it doesn't matter whether you kill the enemy's brains or not, the key is to make the enemy's defense collapse.

"Nope! Takekami-kun. Yoshida Nakasa didn't agree with him, "Then those disgusting people will boast of their abilities even more in the future." Let their exploits be built on our blood! "What Yoshida Nakasa said was categorical. He also read 6 Shi and then read 6 big, when he was young, he took his sister's money to study in Tokyo, because he was poor and could only wear straw sandals, so he was often laughed at by Tokyo people, so he vowed to get ahead, more than ten years later, the poor boy was already the captain of the Imperial Japanese Army, but he still remembered the past ten years ago. Attacking to the north was to help the 1st Division open up the situation, and he couldn't accept it at all when he thought that he was working hard but was helping those philistines in Tokyo to make meritorious contributions!

"Your Excellency......" Tsunesaburo Takegami had no idea of the experience of poverty when the wing captain was young, thinking that he was just angry and wanted to persuade again, but he was immediately rejected by Yoshida Nakasa.

The Japanese army rested for a while and attacked again, this time it was quickly repulsed, Takegami Shaosa said again: "Your Excellency, since we don't attack the north, then let's disperse and attack the village in small teams, the defenders can't have enough troops to defend all the trenches, as long as any small team rushes into the village, it will bring them great chaos, and once the rear is chaotic, the morale of the soldiers on the front line will collapse." โ€

As long as you don't use your own blood to smear the epaulettes of those incomparable philistine Tokyoites, Yoshida Nakasa will agree to any strategy, so under the short arrangement, the more than 800 Japanese troops were divided into more than 20 squads and circled around the village, Yang Rui and the guard company were on the northwest side of Zhuangwai, he planned to attack this Japanese army from the flank, but as soon as he arranged it, he saw the entire Japanese army divided into countless squads and drilled around, and this situation suddenly made his heart cold. This is the one he is most afraid of, once these small groups of Japanese troops break through into the village, then the rear will be chaotic under the destruction of all directions, and the front line will most likely collapse if there is chaos in the back. Do you have to explain yourself here? He looked up at the sky, and there was no sun in sight. I saw that the morning red and strange clouds were even lower, and the fine clouds turned into bunches of grapes, hanging in the air to block the blue sky. Looking at this blood-red cloud, Yang Rui thought: If I die here, can these students still make a revolution according to the suicide note I left before? Can they believe what I wrote? What will China look like in the future? Could it be another warlord scuffle and a Japanese invasion? โ€ฆโ€ฆ And how is her, is she married? What did the letter she reply say? โ€ฆโ€ฆ

On the verge of defeat. Countless thoughts flashed in Yang Rui's mind, he was extremely unwilling but extremely confused, this may be the plan in people, and the success in heaven, he comforted himself. But thinking about his reputation after his death, maybe future Internet forums will continue to debate whether he is a traitor. Thinking of him, he couldn't help but laugh.

The Japanese squad had already broken into Zhuangzi, and everywhere there was the sound of explosions they made, and several puffs of black smoke rose from Zhuangzi. Chen Guangshou repeatedly thought about whether to escape with Yang Rui, but when he turned around, he looked at Yang Rui looking up to the sky and laughed, and was stunned for a while.

"Sir, now that the Japanese army has entered Zhuangzi, we should break through."

"It's not good to break through now. The front-line troops were all bitten by the Japanese and could not break through. โ€

"Sir," Chen Guangshou looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm talking about your breakthrough, not the breakthrough of the troops on the front line." โ€

"No way!" Yang Rui categorically refused without thinking about it. This time he was surrounded, in the final analysis, it was still his problem, if he didn't let Xiao Yinfeng go to his bed, then the matter would not have come to this point, because he wiped out the whole army, and then escaped without any damage. He can't do it! He couldn't live with such a heavy guilt!

"Sir, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the matter of Japanese spies is our fault, if I hadn't told Liezu that night that Mr. should find a woman when he is so old, he would not have let the Japanese woman in!" Chen Guangshou told the secret of that night. His heart was suddenly empty, and thinking of Xu Liezu's death, he was even more determined to protect Yang Rui.

Chen Guangshou's words gave Yang Rui some realization, yes, in this era, men are married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and they are all twenty-eight, and it is unimaginable that they have no wife at the age of twenty-eight! Yang Rui sighed when he thought of this, and said: "It's good if you leave a platoon to protect me, and everyone else will go to Zhuangzi to clear out the Japanese army, the sooner the better, the front line will collapse after a long time of chaos." โ€

Seeing that Yang Rui still didn't listen to persuasion, Chen Guangshou suddenly knelt down in front of Yang Rui, "Sir, I beg you." Let's go! โ€

"You!" What Yang Rui hates the most is to bow down, even in the late Qing Dynasty, he doesn't want to kneel to anyone, and he doesn't want the students he taught to kneel. "You get up!"

Yang Rui's words Chen Guangshou was indifferent, not only did he not get up but also kowtowed heavily on the ground, "Sir, let's go!" โ€

"You are really ......" Yang Rui saw that he couldn't get him up, so he just turned to the others in the guard company and said, "Now listen to my orders, ...... immediately"

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, the guard company knelt on the ground: "Commander, let's withdraw!" The commander is a good person and values righteousness, but we are all saved by the commander, if the commander has three longs and two shorts, we ......"

They all didn't obey orders, Yang Rui was helpless, he took the rifle in front and back, stuck the bayonet, and said, "If you want to kneel, kneel." Lao Tzu still has a few thousand people inside, and I will protect their rear. "Then he will go to the village.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, he was hugged by Chen Guangshou with his back foot, he tilted his head and said, "Sir, it's too late." Let's get out of the way! โ€

"Let go of me!" Yang Rui wanted to be angry but couldn't.

"Don't let it go!" Chen Guangshou seems to be possessed by Xu Liezu, and he is usually supple and now extremely strong!

"If you don't let me go, I'll shoot!" Yang Rui threw the rifle away, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his temple. He shouted loudly, "If you want to die, you will die together, and if you want to break through, you will break through together." What is it for me to run away like this?! โ€

Maybe it was because he could see that Yang Rui was really moving, or maybe he was suppressed by Yang Rui's momentum, as soon as Chen Guangshou let go of his hand, Yang Rui's leg was withdrawn, and seeing Mr. walking farther and farther away with the pistol, he immediately got up from the ground, and the soldiers of the guard company also got up and hurriedly followed with a gun.

When Yang Rui entered Zhuangzi again, the enemy and our armies had already killed the red eye. Hundreds of Japanese troops besieged the headquarters, hundreds of remnants of the engineer battalion struggled to hold on, as more and more Japanese troops rushed forward with explosives and died with the defenders, the engineer battalion with cadets as the backbone, also with soldiers to throw away the engineer shovel. Carrying bundles of grenades on their backs, they rushed towards the Japanese soldiers, and after the explosion, there were always a few devils who were pulled on their backs. This is how the two sides fought more and more primitively, killed more and more brutally, there were more and more corpses on the ground, the blood was getting thicker and thicker, and everyone... Everyone forgot about their combat skills, and only relied on the instinct of animals to fight flesh against flesh...... Looking at the soldiers around him are getting fewer and fewer. The Japanese army rushed forward more and more, Lin Songjian also carried a bundle of grenades, just as he got up, a shout suddenly sounded behind the Japanese army, this is Yang Rui with the guard company rushed in from behind the Japanese army, the appearance of this group of new forces suddenly pierced the Japanese army from back to front. As the guards fought in a very orderly manner, there were fewer and fewer Japanese troops.

Finally relieved, Lin Songjian looked at the guard company in the distance that was pressing the Japanese army's stabbing wildly, and the weight of the grenade made his body fall to the ground weakly. The Japanese army Takegami Shaoza also saw that he had no hope of conquering the enemy headquarters, and instead led the Japanese army to rush to Zhuangzi and set fire everywhere to create chaos. More than a dozen houses have been set on fire, Yang Rui immediately ordered the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and then he returned to the headquarters, just as he was praying that the hearts of the front-line soldiers would not be shaken, Bei Shoutong, who answered the phone, ran over, "Sir, the northern position...... Broken through! The Japanese army will soon ......"

"What?!" Yang Rui jumped up in shock, always thinking that it should be south, who knows......

"Yang, you should break through!" Leo stood up at this point. In the dimly lit semi-basement, he was in a good position and not at all in a hurry. "I will lead the troops to hold out until the last moment, you go quickly, your revolution needs you."

"Nope. To walk together. Yang Rui shook his head. Nervous and hesitant, but after a moment he calmed down, he sat down heavily, and said another sentence with great firmness, "Die a piece!" โ€

As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, a wind blew outside, cooling the whole body of the semi-basement with sweat, and the Wen Jiร n on the table also blew to the ground, and the sand and dust outside were swept up by the wind, the wind blew bigger and bigger, and the sand and dust rolled up more and more, and in an instant, all the sand and dust in the sky and earth were rolled up, and the red and weird clouds in the sky were gone, and the whole sky was darkened, and the world seemed to have only the wind. What's going on? Yang Rui looked at the growing wind outside in surprise, he didn't understand how this phoenix got up, and everyone in the headquarters was also surprised, suddenly, several tents were overturned, and the wind swept them to the north, and these tents disappeared in the dim sky for a while.

At this time, a staff officer suddenly shouted, "Ah...... It's a south wind. It's the south wind! He jumped for joy. We are saved! We are saved! โ€

Yang Rui looked at the elated appearance of the staff officer, and only felt that he was dreaming, and a word caused a dark wind, is this God saving himself again? The south wind is the south wind, and the wind blows north, so if the north side rides the wind and sand to make a surprise attack...... There is also the south side, which should be ...... if the Japanese army raids Just as Yang Rui wanted to take advantage of the wind to do something, several carriages loaded with ammunition were swept up by the wind and smashed at the door, and the telephone lines outside were also uprooted by the wind like pulling weeds in the exclamation of the signal soldiers next door, and then disappeared into the confused sky.

Seeing that sand and dust were constantly pouring in, the staff officers hurriedly closed the doors and windows tightly, and the house was lit again, and a nest of people sat together.

"Yang, you must be God's favorite, even the heavens are bless you!" Leo couldn't imagine why the wind was blowing so well, and it was blowing neither early or late. He could only explain it in terms of God, he picked up the wine he had not drunk before and said, "To you! Heaven's favorite. โ€

After Leo finished speaking, he took a sip, but he accidentally choked on it too quickly, and everyone looked at his wolf bรจi appearance and laughed for a while.

Yang Rui also laughed when he heard what he said so mysteriously, "Now the wind is strong and the Japanese army can't attack, but the wind will always stop, and it will ...... when the time comes."

Leo finally took a breath, and he interrupted Yang Rui's words and said, "It won't stop, otherwise God won't let it shave." Trust me! โ€

Although in many arguments with Yang Rui, Leo has always been wrong, but this time he was right, the wind that blew from nine or ten o'clock in the morning until sunset, before the wind stopped, the Japanese troops who broke into the northern position were driven away by Xie Cheng's three regiments in the wind and sand, and although there was a little exchange of fire in the outer positions that night, the night was safe. By the morning of the next day, all positions had disappeared with Japanese troops. Yang Rui didn't understand why the Japanese army disappeared completely, but when he climbed the lookout in Zhuangzi and saw the army floating like dark clouds from the south through the telescope, he instantly understood that it was the Russian army, and the Russian army was retreating! A massive retreat! It seemed that he was finally out of danger, and Yang Rui, who had been worried all night, suddenly sat down on the lookout.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed into Zhuangzi, and the leading Colonel Madlidov rode his horse and shouted, "Ula! Ulla! Then he shouted to Yang Rui on the lookout, "Wang, I'm back, I'm back with reinforcements!" โ€

Yang Rui saw his cheap anger and came up, when he was desperate, this bastard was nowhere to be seen, and the reinforcements were not seen at all, he drew his pistol and threw it down, the pistol hit Madlidov's nose, and then Mr. Colonel screamed and covered his nose and slipped away.

After smashing the slut Madelidov, Yang Rui's heart seemed to calm down, he lay flat on the high lookout, looking at the clear blue sky, at this time the early spring morning sun shone on his face, the soft warm breeze caressed his head, so comfortable spring day made him involuntarily sing:

Remember the spring many years ago

At that time, I hadn't cut off the length

There was no revolution and no her

There is no such thing as a day and night fight

But I was so happy at the beginning

Although there is only a broken acoustic guitar

In the streets, under bridges, in the fields

Singing the song that no one cares about

If one day; I have nothing to turn to

Please leave me behind; In those days

If one day; I quietly departed

Please bury me in; This spring

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

End of volume B

PS: The following is an excerpt from the novel "Sakagami no Cloud":

On the ninth day when the battle was about to come to an end, abnormal weather appeared in the fields of Manchuria, which made the battle even more dramatic. "A lot of wind and dust blew", is recorded in all combat reports

Nobuaki Kitahara, who served as a first-class medic (military medical captain) in the rear of the Kuroki Army's Guards Division, dictated this ("Russo-Japanese War Stories" by Chiyo Uno):

"Maybe it was around nine o'clock in the morning, and a strong wind blew, and the book (in the text) also wrote about the situation at that time. The wind swept up the sand and dust, and we couldn't see our fingers, just like the tornado we had encountered in the training ground in Castle Peak before, and it was a southerly wind, and we were on the upper hand, and the enemy could not see us at all. Therefore, they will not be able to see if they walk past those positions (Russian positions) with artillery trucks. That gust of wind was a kamikaze for us, but it became the cause of defeat for Russia.

He called the gale of the time the kamikaze of the Japanese army, and it was. However, the reserve infantry brigade on the front line of the Nogi Army was attacked by the Russian army under this strong wind, and the officers did not see the soldiers, and the soldiers did not see the officers, and the fear of each soldier reached the extreme, and finally they were defeated and retreated. Barely a cannon was fired during the entire gale period. The squalls continued until sunset.

And the infantry lieutenant in the Kuroki Army, Jiro Tamon, described it like this: When our artillery was about to start shelling, a strong wind suddenly blew. As soon as the wind blew, it was quite violent, and the sand and dust were rolling, and it was impossible to see the figure of a person from a few feet away...... This is really their kamikaze for the Russian army! โ€
