Chapter 1

December 13, 1937, at 10:13 AM, Yang Daren, the squad leader of the 7th Squad of the Special Operations Company, received an order from Lin Fan.

He proceeded according to his plan, first pushing the defense line forward by a thousand meters before ordering fifty soldiers to clear the battlefield.

At this moment, Squad Leader Zhen Danxiao, whom Lin Fan had sent as reinforcements, arrived with the 5th Squad.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately joined the task of chopping horse legs.

The battlefield, which Yang Daren and his men had only roughly cleared, was swept again by this newly arrived team.

In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Daren’s forward observer reported: “The Japanese cavalry has been spotted.”

The entire 7th Squad of Yang Daren went to the front line.

Zhen Danxiao left only fifty soldiers on the battlefield to clean up, leading the other soldiers to the front line.

Yang Daren’s squad was indeed professional when it came to dealing with Japanese cavalry.

But this time, they weren’t facing just one cavalry regiment: Colonel Mori Ago Roku of the 9th Division led his 9th Cavalry Regiment at the front.

Behind his regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota, the current cavalry battalion commander of the 13th Division, followed closely with his 1,600 cavalrymen.

The two cavalry regiments, now united, formed a formidable cavalry force of three thousand men. Their continuous line stretched nearly two thousand meters as they charged along the road.

At the very front was Captain Nakazumi Mizuki of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, leading his unit.

The biting early winter wind could not extinguish the fire in his heart: Prince Asaka Yasuhiko was waiting for him to rescue him.

It was as if a princess was waiting for a prince to save her.

Just thinking of this, Captain Nakazumi Mizuki excitedly kicked his warhorse.

The horse had been charging for more than ten kilometers, and its body was already drenched in sweat.

However, this did not stop Captain Nakazumi Mizuki from urging his old comrade to run faster, even faster.

Yang Daren, watching the charging Japanese troops, was also excited.

This was the first time he had seen so many Japanese cavalry.

When the Japanese cavalry entered the two-hundred-meter defense line, he ordered, “Fire!”

Ten heavy machine guns lined up on the road, blocking the narrow ten-meter-wide path.

The intense barrage of gunfire caused half of Captain Nakazumi Mizuki’s charging unit to fall instantly.

Captain Nakazumi Mizuki was somewhat lucky; he didn't fall at the first shot.

However, his luck wasn’t the best. After charging forward about fifty meters, he was hit by the heavy machine gun fire.

At the moment he was hit, Captain Nakazumi Mizuki felt as if he had been struck by a giant bell.

His whole body flew backward, watching helplessly as his warhorse ran further and further away.

Then, Captain Nakazumi Mizuki’s body began to fall, plummeting to the ground.

Next, a huge hoof appeared before his eyes, stepping mercilessly on his foot. The crisp "crack" sound made him feel a little dazed, but there was no pain.

The cavalry charged quickly but fell even faster.

This was because the weapons joining the sweeping fire now included the ten heavy machine guns of Zhen Danxiao’s squad.

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku watched his cavalry fall batch after batch.

His heart ached, and he gripped the reins tightly.

“This can’t go on!”

Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota had also rushed forward at some point.

He said, "We can't continue like this. The firepower of those guys on the other side is too fierce.

This fearless charge simply cannot break through their defenses."

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku had the same thought.

He finally ordered, "Halt the attack!"

Yang Daren regretfully watched the Japanese cavalry; they stopped coming to their deaths after only about five hundred had been killed.

This wasn't a good bunch of Japanese!

Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota was also worried as he looked at the National Revolutionary Army on the other side. For the sake of speed, their cavalry regiment hadn’t carried any heavy weapons.

Now, the soldiers only had sabers and rifles. Each regiment had eighteen light machine guns.

Now, they could only organize all the light machine guns from the two regiments and have the cavalry dismount and act as infantry to launch an attack.

For these Japanese soldiers, infantry had a smaller form and a smaller target area, so they had fewer chances of being shot than on horseback.

But the speed was also much slower.

The two cavalry regiments added up to two thousand five hundred soldiers.

Now, all these cavalrymen dismounted and launched an attack.

Thirty-six light machine guns began to establish machine gun positions three hundred meters away from the National Revolutionary Army.

They used firepower to cover the infantry's charge.

When these cavalrymen were all on horseback, they stretched for two kilometers.

Now that they dismounted, they immediately shrank to a range of less than one kilometer.

This situation made Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan extremely happy.

It was finally time to set off the bombs.

Lu Ziping was the first to detonate a bomb. This was a signal, and the bombs buried on both sides of the road exploded one after another.

The soldiers of the 7th and 5th Squads immediately launched an attack. Immediately launching an attack after the bombs exploded was already a signature move of the Special Operations Company.

Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota, who was outside the range of the bombs, was stunned by the huge explosions.

He looked at the thousand-meter-long bloody path ahead and stared in disbelief at Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku, who was equally dumbfounded.

Both regimental commanders were pale-faced, with disbelief in their eyes.

The National Revolutionary Army on the opposite side had already launched an attack, and a dozen soldiers hiding on the hillside pulling the detonation wires were also charging towards them.

Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota turned his horse around without hesitation. He dared not continue fighting this force.

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku looked at the road ahead, where not a single soldier was standing.

He actually still had a dozen soldiers by his side, but these soldiers had just followed Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota’s lead and rushed back towards Nanjing City.

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku jumped off his horse in despair, facing east.

He sat down cross-legged on the muddy road, drew his command saber.

Lu Ziping watched the Japanese soldier in the distance who neither ran nor fought back.

Now he was sitting on the ground drawing his sword, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Is this Japanese guy scared silly?"

Qiu Yushan said with a smile: "He must be scared silly. Look at him sitting on the ground drawing his sword; does he want to kill himself?"

He waved to stop his brothers from aiming. The thirteen brothers who had been hiding and pulling the ropes charged towards Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku together.

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku shouted something, bared his chest, and held his command saber upside down with both hands, making a horizontal cut and a vertical cut on his stomach.

This action startled Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan.

When they rushed to Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku’s side, they watched the ruthless man gently place his command saber in front of him.

Then he slowly placed it on his knees. Although his face showed a very painful expression and his body was trembling violently.

The whole person didn't make a sound.

"A ruthless man!" Lu Ziping said.

They, these people, were still full of respect for such ruthless people.

Lu Ziping personally took his scabbard and pistol from Mori Ago Roku's waist.

Then no one took anything else from him.

"Quick! Pack up the bombs!" Qiu Yushan urged.

Just now, they charged these Japanese soldiers in order to finish them off, so they could install the bombs with peace of mind.

As for the spoils of war on the battlefield, someone naturally had to clean them up.

The more than two thousand Japanese soldiers who had just died under the bombs had their warhorses gathered on the road.

Yang Daren and Zhen Danxiao's two squads of soldiers first came up to collect these warhorses, and the two thousand warhorses made these two squad leaders grin from ear to ear.

First, drive the warhorses to the back, and then clean up the weapons on the battlefield.

When Ye Wan led a regiment of the 66th Army halfway, he encountered a hundred soldiers sent out by Zhen Danxiao, driving these more than two thousand warhorses towards Tangshan.

More than two thousand warhorses completely crowded nearly a thousand meters of road.

Ye Wan gasped: Where did they get this from?

He asked the soldiers who were driving the warhorses: he knew it was just captured by the Special Operations Company.

I don’t know what to say anymore

Hearing that he was going to chop horse legs, these soldiers said very enthusiastically: "Go quickly, only a hundred warhorses have been killed, and there is no time to chop them yet."

And they enthusiastically introduced: "Sheep liver, horse lungs, and pig intestines, horse lungs taste even better.

Don’t ask us how we know: because we have eaten at least five thousand Japanese warhorses and summarized our experience."

It made Yang Daren very happy to have a team come to help.

Now his predetermined battlefield cannot continue to be pushed forward, and it will be even further away from the main force.

This time, Yang Daren asked Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan to move the position back, one thousand meters back from the first ambush position.

The 9th Squad artillery position set up here will remain stationary for the time being.

Up to this point, the artillerymen of the 9th Squad had not fired a shot.

They only saw enemy planes falling one after another in the sky, and the 7th Squad easily stopped the Japanese pursuers who were preparing to support them.

The soldiers of the 9th Squad had nothing to do, and they had been rushing all night yesterday, so now they could take a rest.

Now they saw groups of warhorses passing in front of the position, and the team of warhorses seemed endless, they just kept walking like this, and there were always more behind them.

When Army Commander Ye Zhao saw the warhorses being sent from the rear, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Lin Fan was also stunned: He could also kill so many warhorses. He said he could not do it to capture so many warhorses.

After understanding the situation, he realized that the Japanese used cavalry as infantry and then fell into the trap of the 7th Squad.

That’s good! Very good! Lin Fan had already thought of what kind of scene it would be like for his company of more than a thousand soldiers to have a warhorse each, coming and going like the wind?

When the Special Operations Company was just blocked here, the Qian family was very worried and afraid.

When they saw the Japanese planes constantly falling, they were still worried: they were worried that the Japanese would be beaten too badly, and more Japanese would come.

Now that so many warhorses are being sent from the rear, their worries have come true.

At this time, Grandpa Qian also woke up. When he saw such a large group of warhorses, he immediately became interested: he wanted a horse.

In his own words: "Sitting in the car, I shook my old bones apart."

Now Lin Fan can't wait for someone to claim these warhorses: Now he has to send someone to take care of these warhorses.

Chen Sichuan and Liu Laopao led the team to chase behind the Japanese. After these Japanese began to retreat, their retreat speed became faster.

Captain Shibomi Yota also had his difficulties: sporadic National Revolutionary Army soldiers were also found in Jurong. It seemed that they were National Revolutionary Army soldiers who had been dispersed in the past few days.

Although these National Revolutionary Army soldiers did not have any intention of attacking Jurong, Captain Shibomi Yota did not dare to gamble.

Now the Shanghai Expeditionary Force Commander Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, whom they were protecting, must not have any accidents.

Therefore, even if he suffered more losses now, he had to retreat back quickly to protect Prince Asaka Yasuhiko.

Another captain, Maezo Sono Sota, had the same idea.

Therefore, they retreated very quickly.

It was even completely running away.

After Company Commander Li Zhize led his more than one hundred soldiers to completely annihilate the Japanese from the top of the mountain, which was high above the ground.

He also came down the mountain to meet Lin Fan and Army Commander Ye Zhao. When he heard that the person standing in front of Lin Fan was the Army Commander of the 66th Army, his official rank was much higher than his own.

Company Commander Li Zhize quickly saluted.

Lin Fan asked with a smile: "Company Commander Li! Have you eaten?"

Asking about eating without asking about the battle situation is very much in line with Lin Fan's style.

Company Commander Li originally prepared what Lin Fan asked about how many Japanese soldiers were killed just now, or what the Japanese combat effectiveness was like.

He didn't expect Lin Fan to ask this question, but this question was easy to answer: "No!"

"Wait a moment, there are not many of you, you can eat with us later."

"Okay!"

Company Commander Li had just arrived here and did not know that the two big guys here had already talked about how to go the road behind.

He thought for a while and asked: "Army Commander Ye, how is the 66th Army going to go next?"

Ye Zhao looked at Lin Fan: "Listen to what Company Commander Lin just said: Our 66th Army will follow the Special Operations Company directly on the main road."

"Don't take the small road, take the main road, the possibility of encountering Japanese is very high." Company Commander Li reminded.

"Yes, the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway is where the Japanese supplies are sent from.

This shows that there is enough profit on this road!

We can just push it all the way and make up for the lost weapons and equipment." Lin Fan smiled.

Army Commander Ye Zhao looked at the cars parked on the road, which were full, and thought to himself: "You came out of Nanjing City, did you lose anything?"

Thinking of his team, they lost a lot of equipment when they came out of Nanjing.

Suddenly, he felt blessed: "Company Commander Lin, you should have captured a lot today!"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "It must be, we, the Special Operations Company, only make money but never lose when fighting."

"Company Commander Lin, I think your company commander's equipment has been equipped very reasonably.

The machine guns captured today, can you give us a few?" Army Commander Ye Zhao looked at Lin Fan expectantly.

Company Commander Li Zhize also looked at Lin Fan: Machine guns are hard currency in this era, and can be exchanged for gold anywhere.

In this chaotic world, not only the army needs to use machine guns, but also the green forest heroes who go up the mountain need machine guns.

With machine guns, they can rob more places.

The local tyrants in various places need machine guns even more. They need guns more than gold now.

Gold is only used to increase wealth, while machine guns are used to save lives.

At this time, it depends on what price Lin Fan offers.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Army Commander Ye, we are all on the same road now. As long as it is the weapons captured today, you can take whatever you want.

However, I can't give you too much ammunition. My company uses all Japanese equipment, and the ammunition has always relied on capture to replenish it."

Army Commander Ye Zhao laughed happily: "Just give me twenty machine guns."

Lin Fan also smiled: "There are machine guns in today's spoils, give Army Commander twenty of them. Just now I heard that when the Japanese were on the hillside, there were also heavy machine gun sounds, why don't you have a few too?"

"That's of course good, I'm just thinking that Company Commander Lin also needs the firepower of heavy machine guns."

"Now we are all our own people, just say what you need to replenish, and we will try our best to satisfy it."

Company Commander Li Zhize thought for a while: "Company Commander Lin, our company's ammunition consumption is relatively large, is there any ammunition for us to replenish?"

Lin Fan was embarrassed: "I really don't have this. But if these soldiers of yours are willing to change to Japanese equipment, we have it here."

Company Commander Li Zhize said: "We now have one hundred and eight people, and there are six light machine guns, can this be guaranteed?"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "You are the 2nd Company of the Central Instruction Regiment, the soldiers are of high quality and strong combat effectiveness.

How can six light machine guns be enough?

I will replenish you to ten light machine guns and two heavy machine guns.

I'm just worried that the equipment will be too heavy and the soldiers won't be able to stand it?"

"No! No!" Company Commander Li Zhize repeatedly said that his soldiers would not be afraid of being tired.

Lin Fan suddenly asked: "Company Commander Li! The soldiers in your company are from the Central Instruction Regiment, can they ride horses?"

"A little bit." Company Commander Li Zhize was a little modest.

"That's good, let's do this! Company Commander Li, let's make a gentleman's agreement. When we act together, we will equip your company with all the equipment you need.

If you want to leave, can you return the equipment to me?"

Li Zhize didn't know what kind of equipment Lin Fan would equip him with, and he hesitated. He said: "Company Commander Lin, please continue!"

Lin Fan said: "I will equip each of your company with two warhorses, and equip them with corresponding elite soldier equipment, including a rifle, a saber, the entire company with twenty light machine guns, ten heavy machine guns, five Type 92 infantry guns, and five mortars.

If you think the equipment is not enough, just say what you need."

Hearing that Lin Fan was going to equip Li Zhize with such powerful equipment, Army Commander Ye Zhao was a little jealous.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Army Commander Ye, no matter how much equipment there is, it has to be used. Company Commander Li and the others can all ride horses, I just thought that they could let the warhorses carry these weapons.

At the same time, they can also move quickly. Speed and firepower on the battlefield are definitely divine soldiers."

Li Zhize thought for a while: "When we leave, we have to return our weapons."

Lin Fan said with a smile: "When you leave, take a warhorse with you, and leave the mortars and infantry guns behind.

It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that these guns are not easy to get."

The army commander thought to himself: "It's not just that the guns are not easy to get, heavy machine guns, machine guns, warhorses, which one is easy to get?"

Company Commander Li finally smiled and stretched out his hand: "Deal!"

"Deal!"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "I hope Company Commander Li will join us even more."

Lin Fan also said to Army Commander Ye: "Army Commander Ye, there are many people in the team, take two hundred warhorses, and the communication of the whole army will be more efficient.

I just don't know if there are so many people who can ride horses?"

"Yes!" Army Commander Ye only had one word.

He was thinking in his heart: "Even if my team of more than ten thousand people doesn't really have it, it must have it."

These warhorses were divided out, and there were so many left. Xiao Dongbei's 3rd Squad was allocated two warhorses per person.

Light machine guns have been equipped for him to three people per gun.

This is because the current signal soldiers were all trained by Xiao Dongbei at first. Each soldier in his squad has more or less learned a little horseback riding. Although they cannot ride horses to fight, it is no problem to use it for traveling.

The remaining squads were also equipped with a warhorse each, so that these soldiers could use it as a means of transportation on the plains, which was also excellent.

With this distribution, there were only more than one hundred warhorses left.

In the end, even the three people from Sheng Shicai's family were allocated a warhorse each.

This made Sheng Shicai very happy. If he hadn't been cooking, he would have ridden the warhorse for a few steps.

The Qian family was also allocated a warhorse for transportation. Now Grandpa Qian didn't have to find someone special.

The warhorses were distributed, and the Special Operations Company started eating. The soldiers now put the prepared food on the warhorses and quickly sent it to Chen Sichuan, Liu Laopao and others in front.

The food for the various squads in the back was also delivered in this way.

Chen Sichuan ate the still hot food: "We have all become cavalry."

They have now stopped to rest for a while, and the warhorses that were delivered have arrived.

This is a good thing, he has long wanted a warhorse.

These days, Chen Sichuan saw that only armies above the regiment level had warhorses, but he was very envious.

Now that he has it himself, he is very happy.

Where there is happiness, there is unhappiness.

Now Captain Yutanari Shintaro is very unhappy.

He accepted the important task of all officers and soldiers of the 13th Division. Division Commander Ogisu Ritsubei personally saluted him and instructed him to rescue Prince Asaka Yasuhiko and escort him safely to the 13th Division.

Now he is with thirty cars and nine hundred soldiers.

Looking at the road ahead that is covered with blood and flesh, this road is a thousand meters long, and cars cannot pass through it at all.

Before reaching this road, Captain Yutanari Shintaro had some guesses in his heart, but the scene was much more cruel than he imagined.

Just now, he met Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota and the dozen cavalrymen he was leading. He heard them say that they were only a few miles away.

All the soldiers of the two cavalry regiments were killed, and Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota had no choice but to go back to report to the division commander.

At that time, Captain Yutanari Shintaro's heart was full of contempt for this lieutenant colonel who was one level higher than him in rank.

At this time, he decided to withdraw his contempt just now: Lieutenant Colonel Tono’uchi Kota had done his best.

The reason why his convoy stopped was also because of a person sitting cross-legged in the middle of the road.

This is the back of a person. Although it is only the back, Captain Yutanari Shintaro can still recognize that this is an Imperial soldier.

Before walking to this soldier, Captain Yutanari Shintaro had already recognized from this person's shoulder badge: Colonel!

Of course, a person with such a rank is not an ordinary person.

Although Captain Yutanari Shintaro didn't know him, he could think of it with his feet that this was the cavalry regimental commander of the 9th Division.

Walking to the front of Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku, now Captain Yutanari Shintaro and the dozen Japanese soldiers who came with him were all moved: seppuku! They actually saw seppuku here.

This regimental commander is much stronger than the deserter in his division.

Captain Yutanari Shintaro respectfully saluted the colonel and personally lifted the colonel to the side of the road before ordering his soldiers to quickly clear this road.

At the same time, he sent a reconnaissance team of thirty people to the front.

While Captain Yutanari Shintaro was busy, Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi of the 9th Division also arrived with a team in cars.

Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi quickly came to the front, and Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku, who was sitting cross-legged on the roadside, immediately attracted his attention.

In the same division, the two were not much different in rank. Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi knew Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku.

He also respectfully saluted the regimental commander to pay tribute.

Then he carefully understood the situation. He heard that there was a road like this for thousands of meters in front of the thousands of meters of road.

He immediately ordered: "Except for the drivers, everyone in Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi will follow!" Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi was going to clear the road ahead.

While the two teams were clearing the road, Yang Daren in the distance regretted: "I should have set another trap in these places just now."

Of course, it was too late now.

They have now received Lin Fan's order: "You can retreat! The forward team of the Special Operations Company is already advancing."

The three squad leaders Yang Daren, Zhen Danxiao, and Hui Jianming discussed together: should they retreat or continue to wait here.

Hui Jianming's heavy artillery has been turned into a marching state and can be dispatched at any time.

He analyzed: "Even if we retreat, these Japanese will complete the road clearing in half an hour.

When they continue to chase in cars, they will definitely be faster than me, and these Japanese will catch up sooner or later.

It is better to fight early than to fight late, let's take them down here."

The three squad leaders reached a consensus.

Yang Daren said: "Squad Leader Hui! You take the heavy artillery and leave first."

Hui Jianming was unwilling: "We have been waiting here for so long today, without firing a cannon or a shot.

Just leave like this?

I will let the heavy artillery go first, and the soldiers will stay and be used as infantry."

Zhen Danxiao also said: "I agree with Yang Daren's suggestion, the heavy artillery squad will leave first! Every one of your squad is a treasure, and you can't waste them by using them as infantry."

Hui Jianming had no choice: The minority obeys the majority, this is what Lin Fan has repeatedly instructed.

He said hatefully: "Who hasn't been a treasure, it just happens to be my turn?"

Yang Squad Leader pointed to the warhorses hidden in the distance: "We will have cars and warhorses later, and the marching speed will be much faster.

Your artillery vehicles left first, so you can only walk, and the speed can't keep up. Old Hui, accept your fate!"

The first sentence of his words made Hui Jianming feel warm in his heart, but when he heard the last sentence.

Hui Jianming stood up: "Dog mouth can't spit out ivory." He left in a huff.

He also knew in his heart that his artillery team should leave first, but he was worried that the two squads here would not be able to stop it when he saw so many Japanese soldiers.

There are two thousand Japanese soldiers.

After sending off the heavy artillery squad, Zhen Danxiao said with a smile: "Old Yang! What do you think of my squad going to the hillside?"

Yang Daren said with a smile: "Yes! But you have to stay a little further away from the highway, so that the Japanese can't find you.

Sixty cars, in fact, less than a thousand meters away, I have already set up an ambush.

There is no problem."

Zhen Dan said nodded: "I am on the other side of the hillside, and only send one person as a scout. When you start fighting here, I will lead the team to rush over from behind the mountain.

It will definitely not attract the attention of the Japanese."

Yang Daren smiled: "Good method, good method! Let's do it like this."

With the plan decided, they each acted according to the plan.

Zhen Danxiao led the 5th Squad to move to the hillside immediately. His squad quickly disappeared behind the hillside.

Good fellow! Zhen Danxiao, this name is really not wrong.

Yang Daren saw that after the 5th Squad had hidden, even if he knew that the 5th Squad was hidden on the mountain, he did not find it at all.

Now it was his turn to hide himself.

His squad only needed to hide a little. When the Japanese entered the ambush circle, the bomb exploded.

The 7th Squad will rush out to block the road, so that those who slip through the net will not rush over.

Half an hour later, with the joint efforts of the two battalions of the 13th Division and the 9th Division, the two-thousand-meter-long bloody road was cleared.

Time was tight, so the soldiers who cleared the road piled the bodies of the fallen warriors casually on both sides of the road, and the horse skeletons that had been skinned and boned were also thrown randomly on the side of the road.

The several cars that were blown up, the fire had long been extinguished, and were also pushed down the hillside by the soldiers.

Captain Yutanari Shintaro was sitting in the driver's seat of the second car. The danger of the first car was too great, so he gave the opportunity to sit in the driver's seat to Captain Yamase Shoma.

Captain Yamase Shoma could handle small matters. If he encountered a situation, Captain Yamase Shoma could also adapt to the situation.

Every car honked its horn to pay tribute when it passed Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku.

Regiment Commander Mori Ago Roku was sitting cross-legged in the mud on the side of the road, matching the bloody road behind him.

It was as if he was the gatekeeper of the gate of hell.

This convoy of sixty cars was like driving into the road of hell from here.

Captain Yamase Shoma looked at the road ahead. Although it was muddy, it had calmed down. There were no more corpses on the road.

There was no sound of gunfire, the years were peaceful, and everything was fine.

It should have been three miles since I left the bloody road just now.

"Everything is normal!" Captain Yamase Shoma thought to himself.

"It seems that the team that stopped the cavalry has retreated."

Just as he was thinking this, Captain Yamase Shoma felt the earth shake.

Countless bullets poured in, and the car's windshield shattered and fell off at once.

His body was like being hit by countless heavy bells, and he couldn't even move his fingers except for fear.

The entire Yutanari Shintaro Battalion and the Nishin Kami Kenichi Battalion behind were all in the ambush circle on this road.

This time, the ambush circle was tailor-made for their two battalions. Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan also left some margin for these two battalions, and there are still several directional bombs that have not been detonated.

The explosion was the order, and the soldiers of the 7th Squad immediately pushed the heavy machine guns onto the highway.

Mortars were already firing, and infantry guns were also entering the position.

The explosion was the order: When the soldiers of the Nishin Kami Kenichi Battalion woke up from the explosion, they immediately jumped out of the cars and began to counterattack.

The Yutanari Shintaro Battalion, which was walking in front of them, did not move slower than them.

Seeing that there were still so many Japanese survivors, Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan were a little suspicious: Was the explosion just now the directional bomb they buried?

Zhen Danxiao's 5th Squad also quickly rushed out from behind the hillside, and heavy machine guns and machine guns had already begun to sweep.

Those Japanese soldiers who had just jumped out of the cars that had been riddled with holes, or were jumping down, were planning to shoot at the National Revolutionary Army who were blocking the road in front, but they encountered a hail of bullets from the hillside.

Captain Yutanari Shintaro, who was in the driver's seat of the second car, was very lucky to survive.

The car in front of him had stopped, and he quickly jumped out of the driver's seat: "Attack! Attack!"

He drew his command saber and waved it towards the direction of the 7th Squad, ordering loudly.

At this moment, he saw a ball of fire flashing on the opposite side.

Then he heard a loud "boom" sound, and the first car was blown to pieces.

The flying fragments of the car when it fell apart happened to scratch across Captain Yutanari Shintaro's neck.

Captain Yutanari Shintaro knelt down slowly, holding his neck with one hand and propping up his command saber with the other.

He knelt down neatly towards the direction of the 7th Squad of the Special Operations Company.

Four infantry guns were firing, twelve mortars were also bombing, and the hail of bullets from heavy machine guns poured down from the front and the hillside like splashing water.

The few remaining soldiers of the Yutanari Shintaro Continent were finally afraid. They ran madly towards Nanjing City.

Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato's fiery heart has been replaced by endless regret.

Originally, when he heard that he was going to Tangshan to rescue Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, his heart was very excited and full of enthusiasm.

What a great honor it would be to be able to get a little bit involved with the legendary Prince Asaka Yasuhiko in this life!

Although when he received the order, his team was already in Nanjing City.

Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato certainly knew what they could do in Nanjing City: Seven days of no military discipline, this was Commander Asaka Yasuhiko letting his ordinary soldiers enter any house in Nanjing City anytime and anywhere, and take away anything valuable.

Of course, Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato also knew clearly that the homes of some friendly people could not be visited.

But even so, there were countless places he could enter.

And this meant a lot of money and countless gold and silver treasures.

In order to rescue Commander Asaka Yasuhiko, he gave up these treasures that were readily available.

Just for the belief in his heart: Loyalty to the king!

In fact, when he was cleaning the bloody road just now, Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato had already regretted it a little.

He was reflecting on whether what he did was right.

He gave up the treasures that were readily available and ran to pursue a belief.

For this belief, he may also lose his life.

When he lifted the bodies one by one, this thought became even stronger: Do you people regret it now?

He thought they regretted it! Now Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato regretted it, and he regretted coming out of Nanjing City.

When he was hit by the first bullet, Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato suddenly realized: He didn't regret coming out of Nanjing City.

In fact, from the moment he joined the army in his hometown, it was already destined that he would end up like this today! It turned out that what I should regret the most is: not giving up the belief in my heart sooner!

Sergeant Tsujiura Hayato didn't know how many bullets he had been hit by, but there were a lot.

Tsujiura Hayato was not the only Japanese soldier who was running backwards. After their Captain Yutanari Shintaro was killed, Captain Honginbo Soku, who stood up to command, was also killed.

The soldiers of the entire Yutanari Shintaro Battalion began to run backwards, but their battalion was charging in front.

If they wanted to escape back, they had to pass through the section of road of the Nishin Kami Kenichi Battalion first.

This road was also not peaceful, the same hail of bullets kept falling, the only good thing was that there was no direct fire from the Type 92 infantry gun.

The soldiers of the Nishin Kami Kenichi Battalion were also retreating backwards: Such a fierce hail of bullets made it impossible to charge forward, so they could only retreat.

Then find an opportunity to organize an attack, retreat before advancing, this is correct.

Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi also thought so, and he also personally participated in this process.

Lu Ziping and Qiu Yushan watched the Japanese infantry retreat madly, these Japanese soldiers were going back the way they came.

The two who installed the directional bombs were extremely happy: The margin is now useful.

In fact, there were not many Japanese soldiers who survived, less than three hundred in total, and less than two hundred Japanese soldiers were able to retreat out of the car area.

Battalion Commander Nishin Kami Kenichi would not have thought that their retreat from the ambushed area was entering the next ambush circle.

Lu Ziping saw that most of the Japanese soldiers had entered the explosion area and personally pulled the ring.

There were six more explosions in a row, and all the bombs he and Qiu Yushan buried in this area were detonated.

There were less than thirty Japanese soldiers left. Lu Ziping had already led the ten soldiers who installed the bombs to charge.

They were closest to these Japanese soldiers
