Chapter 63: This is Bushido

A squad of soldiers were all looking at the two things, only to see that they rolled twice after they landed, and then began to smoke slowly, and there was no explosion. The co-shooter raised his head a little and stared ahead: "What is this?" Why can't you hear it? It can't be a stink bomb, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and in a blink of an eye, it made the front of the Japanese position white!

The little Japan on the other side was obviously panicked, and shot desperately at the smoke, but the figure couldn't see clearly, where did it come from?

The bombardier stood up boldly at this time and threw all the smoke grenades hanging on his body! Smoke billowed from the positions of Little Japan.

The squad leader didn't shout, and slowly leaned forward with his brothers in a prostrate forward posture. Although they did not move quickly, the distance between the two sides was not far in the first place, and it only took a dozen seconds for them to climb to a place only five or six meters away from the Japanese position.

A very strange scene was formed on the battlefield, a white smoke more than one meter wide blocked the view of the attacking and defending sides, on one side of the smoke were the Japanese, and on the other side were the volunteers, no more than four or five meters apart.

When the smoke cleared a little and there was a little visibility, the Japanese were stunned to find that the Volunteers were already in front of them!

"Rush!"

The squad leader roared over the smoke and rushed into the Japanese trench, and the Japanese captain didn't have time to react at all, and subconsciously waved his command knife.

"Kill Quack!"

Everyone screamed frantically and took the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the enemy who was close at hand, trying to harvest the other party's life!

The regiment commander in the back was extremely excited, he originally thought that this squad would have to sacrifice at least half of it when it broke into the Japanese position, but who knew that it would be so easy to cut in.

The smoke grenades were used on the battlefield for the first time, just like the flamethrowers of the Volunteers and the infantry vehicles of the Russians, and the other party did not know how to deal with it at all, and when they saw that they could not see clearly in front of them, they began to panic. When they could see that the opponent had rushed over, they didn't have time to make any tactical adjustments, and they didn't know how to adjust.

Despite this, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches had no intention of giving up, their machine guns were firing unscrupulously, and the two soldiers were hit by the flying stray bullets, and with a muffled grunt, they fell headlong one after another, and blood gushed out from the bullet holes that had been pierced by the bullets.

Little Japan now also knows that you have to have the courage to exchange your life for your life when you fight the Volunteers! Especially after the opponent's small forces cut in. You're going to do whatever it takes to get them out! Otherwise, your gap will get bigger and bigger!

"Dynamite pack!" The squad leader roared.

A wounded soldier untied a round explosive bag from his body, lit the fuse, and shouted: "Five! Four! Three! Two! Let! ”

As he said that, he took off his hand and threw the explosives bag towards the front of the trench! The Volunteers reacted very quickly, and all of them crouched on the ground the moment the explosive bag was released, trying to keep their lower backs against the wall.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the stump of the Japanese exploded with a broken arm and flew into the sky! Then the heat wave swept through the trenches! Although the squad leader made a very correct posture, they were swept by the wave of air and rolled to the ground, and the rifleman was even bled from the shock, lying there and convulsing a few times, and never moved again.

The squad leader got up from the ground as fast as he could: "Flamethrower!" Fast! ”

This style of play was just invented by the fighters. When fighting with the Japanese 3rd Division, the vanguard troops who rushed into the Japanese trenches were often killed and wounded, and the soldiers came up with such a way in order to survive themselves!

Fry it with a dynamite pack first. Burn it with a flamethrower again! Hit the enemy on both sides of yourself, and leave him alone a little farther away! They also didn't care about their own safety, in order to survive as long as possible for four or five seconds after storming into the Japanese trenches!

On the battlefield, every second is the difference between victory and defeat.

The Japanese soldiers who were charging towards them were burned to death on the spot by flamethrowers! Those who were still alive did not dare to rush into the flames. At this moment when there was a gap in the Japanese counterattack. The comrades in the back have already rushed in!

When the squad leader's heart was just relieved, the Japanese captain was really fierce, wielding a command knife and slashing at the squad leader's chest.

The squad leader hurriedly raised his rifle to parry. But he was split and took a step back, and before he had time to stabilize his position, the opponent's second knife came back like a shadow. It can be seen from the posture of this little Japanese knife that it has been practiced!

The squad leader is not a martial arts master, he used to be a miner, and he was beaten in a hurry.

Aida also followed behind their captain, and seeing that the squad leader's footsteps were already panicked, he roared and stabbed over with a bayonet! The squad leader forcibly blocked it with the butt of his gun, but Aida used all his strength this time, and although the squad leader blocked the bayonet, the rifle in his hand was smashed off and fell to the ground!

Aita's eyes looked at this squad leader of the Volunteer Army, and at this moment he suddenly forgot everything, and there was only one thought in his head, kill this person!

The captain's third knife unstoppably slashed at the squad leader's head, and at this moment, a gunshot rang out next to him, and a bullet entered the back of the captain's heart. The figure of the Japanese captain paused, and the saber in his hand was raised high, but he didn't have the strength to slash down again.

The squad leader got up from the ground, stopped picking up the gun, and punched the captain in the face with a backhand. Aita stabbed him with a shot at this time, but the squad leader didn't pay attention to him at all, and after dodging, he picked up a piece of wood next to him and swept it at the falling head of the Japanese captain!

Aita's ears heard the sound of a skull shattering, and the captain fell to the ground and never got up again.

The squad leader's stick was dripping with blood, and his face was full of hideous looks, so he turned his head at this time and stared at Aida with a wooden stick.

Aida suddenly felt himself trembling a little! Even the bravest captain in normal times died, which really made him lose his courage! As the squad leader walked towards him, Aida unconsciously began to retreat, until his back touched another Japanese soldier, and he realized that all the people around him were volunteers.

The bloody bayonets were pointed at their remnants of a dozen Japanese soldiers, and the surrounding positions seemed to have been broken through by the volunteers, and at this moment Aida suddenly felt a burst of despair!

His first reaction was to rush up and fight with the other party, but he didn't know that his legs just didn't have the courage to step away. Maybe if a Japanese soldier rushed up next to him, he would not hesitate to follow.

Aida wanted to commit suicide again, but he was a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly heard a bang, and the Japanese soldier beside him actually knelt down and raised his weapon above his head with both hands!

Aida and the rest of the Japanese soldiers were stunned, and the volunteers on the side also seemed to be stunned, and after a while, they all reacted, and another Japanese knelt down! It's like an extremely serious infectious disease, and more and more people are laying down their weapons!

Aita's mind went blank! He didn't know what he was thinking, and unconsciously, like those soldiers, he also knelt down and raised his hands. He handed the weapon to the guys in front of him. Until the other party confiscated his rifle, he was still in a trance, and in his trance, he doubted that the person kneeling on the ground now was himself.

The volunteers who rushed into the position cut down the banner of the Japanese army and hung the banner of the volunteers high, and the position was full of cheers!

This is the Japanese bushido! They don't surrender because they feel it's a shame to surrender to you! When you make them realize that your fists are harder than theirs and that you can make them die, when you make them feel the fear of war and the despair of victory, bushido is what it looks like! As long as you straighten up and stand like a man, it is a dog lying at your feet!

On February 5, 1907, Yang Xiaolin originally thought that it would take two days to end the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Fourth Division. It took only eighteen hours to win. In this battle, the smoke bombs of the volunteers played a very important role, although there was no liliang that decided the victory, but it played an irreplaceable role in saving time and avoiding casualties.

In addition to the surrender of more than 1,300 people of the Fourth Division, the remaining 17,000 people, including the division commander Yoshio Ono, were all killed in the battle. Don't talk about Hauffman, who was watching the game from the sidelines. It was Yang Xiaolin himself who felt a little surprised. This time, he was able to capture more than a thousand Japanese prisoners! Most of them still took the initiative to raise their hands to surrender, which really made Commander Yang feel a little troublesome!

Commander Yang has always been rusty about dealing with prisoners, and according to the rules, he pulled down the Changbai Mountain and cut wood, but now is not the time. After some ideological education, let these go? It's almost fun. That's not Commander Yang's style.

Commander Yang's style has always been to kill all these people. But this time he didn't want to do it. Because as the Japanese soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, Yang Xiaolin realized that he had to find a suitable way to deal with the prisoners, and he had to immediately introduce a policy for treating the prisoners. Because, there will be more and more captives in the future.

Cai Ye reported the current situation on the battlefield in front of Yang Xiaolin: "Commander, because our battle here is going very smoothly, the Japanese Sixth Division has not had time to withdraw from the battlefield at all!" We have formed a siege on them, and it is no longer a problem to eat them, so what do we do next? ”

Yang Xiaolin's face was also full of smiles: "Where is Nogi Noshinori now?" ”

Cai Yi's hand clicked on the map: "Dandong has passed, and they have advanced fifty kilometers in this day's time!" ”

Fifty kilometers a day? The march was already very fast. But there is no way, the battle situation is now in the hands of the volunteers, and the Sixth Division is a lone army, and Nogi Noshinori can't save them even if he is a hundred kilometers a day.

The situation has been opened, Yang Xiaolin now has a lot of good moves in front of him, and the safest way is to withdraw immediately after annihilating the Sixth Division. So far in the battle, they have annihilated the main force of the Japanese Second Army of nearly 50,000 people, and surrounded more than 17,000 people, and after the Sixth Division is eaten, the Second Army can return to Japan.

However, the casualties of the volunteers themselves reached more than 24,000 people, and Biaozi's 3rd Division forcibly launched a pursuit battle against the 6th Division, and the losses in the battle were quite heavy, becoming another team with more than half of the casualties after the 6th and 7th Divisions.

Rest yourself from the battle, and immediately replenish the militia from among the soldiers. The Second Army had no combat capability, and the Third Army had to maintain the situation in eastern and western Liaoning, and also had to take into account North Korea, so it was impossible to go to Changbai Mountain to find the volunteers for a decisive battle.

Yang Xiaolin had enough time to restore the ability of his troops to fight, so as to obtain a more favorable situation in the stalemate phase of the war.

He can also go and kill Matsumura Takemoto!

Now Matsumura has less than 50,000 soldiers around him, and his morale is low and his fighting spirit is completely lost. Yang Xiaolin believed that if the Volunteers launched an attack on Matsumura Takemoto, it was likely that the Second Army would not even have a chance to return to Japan! At the very least, you can expand the results a little more.

Of course this is a bit risky, because the third army is already very close.

They also have a third option, which is to directly attack Nogi Noshinori's Third Army!

It's even more dangerous, but the opportunity is not out of the question. Nogi Noshinori's forcible march for several days had stretched the front very long, and the distance between the troops in the front and the rear of the palace was more than eighty kilometers! There is also the Fifth Division that has been following them and harassing them, and if they can find fighters to cut off Nogi Noshinori's team from it, the Japanese Third Army will repeat the mistakes of the Second Army!

Commander Yang's character was destined that he would not choose the first approach, so when Cai Yi asked him what to do next, his eyes stared at the map for a long time and said, "Songpo, if we fight Nogi Noshinori again, is it a little reluctant?" (To be continued......)
