The night was dark, and inside the Japs' frontline joint command headquarters, Asaburo Kobayashi kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Twelve hours had passed. Although the Seventh Army attacked with all its strength and paid a huge price, it only managed to capture a few enemy soldiers.
This is a small bunker, and the main position of Wujiashan is firmly in the hands of the new regiment.
"Xiaolin-kun, it has been twelve hours. We have fired all the artillery shells including 75mm infantry cannons and even mortars. However, the Wujiashan Fortress still cannot be conquered. There is only one left left before the deadline set by Commander Yamashita.
It's twelve hours later.
If Wujiashan cannot be captured within the stipulated time limit, the Seventh Army will be in dire straits, and we will have no choice but to die as apology," Murakami Keisaku said.
Murakami Keisaku's words were quite polite, but Fujii Yoji had lost his heart towards Kobayashi Asasaburo, and his words had a bit of a gunpowder smell. He said: "Kobayashi-kun, we could have counted on your ability to turn the tide! But!
Your performance disappoints us!"
Asaburo Kobayashi glanced at Fujii Yoji coldly and said: "If Wujiashan cannot be captured within twelve hours, I am willing to have a caesarean section to apologize."
When Fujii Yoji heard what Kobayashi said, he couldn't say any more unpleasant words, so he immediately said: "Kobayashi-kun, our army has been fighting continuously for nearly twenty days. We are extremely exhausted, and without the cover of artillery fire, we are simply unable to fight anymore.
.”
Kobayashi Asaburo said: "We are tired, and the Wujiashan defenders are even more tired. Now both sides are exhausted. Whoever can persist for the last five minutes will win the final victory!"
"boom!"
A loud noise came from behind, and the entire tent shook a few times. The water tank Xiaolin placed on the table jumped up, and the water in it spilled over a large area, soaking the map.
Everyone was shocked and immediately walked out of the tent to look at the place where the explosion occurred.
"Boom~"
A series of explosions sounded, and huge flames continued to rise in the night sky, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
In the flames, a series of bullets burst like fried beans.
"That's...where we stockpile arms..."
Xiao Lin felt his eyes darken, his body trembled, and he almost sat on the ground.
"Kobayashi-kun, I'm afraid our munitions were blown up by the Shinichi Regiment!" Fujii swallowed and said.
"This is the only armament we have left. If it is gone, the soldiers can only charge with bayonets," Murakami said.
"No matter what, we can't give up. Even if we use up the last bullet, we will use bayonets, smash with fists, and bite with teeth! We must capture Wujiashan! As long as we capture Wujiashan, we will get
With the supplies in the fortress, we can win this battle!"
Xiao Lin knew that he had no way out. He gritted his teeth and immediately ordered: "Order, all units attack in full force. This is the final general attack. I repeat, this is the final general attack!"
…
The Japanese attack was repelled again. Lao Niu kept yawning and had not slept for seventy-two hours. Lao Niu's eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes.
The Japs were like crazy today. As soon as one wave of offensive was defeated, another wave of offensive started. Lao Niu knew that in less than five minutes, the next wave of Japs' offensive would begin.
"Light the cigarette for me!" Lao Niu poked Zhao Hai, who was dozing next to him, but Zhao Hai held his stomach and said, "No, I need to pee and I can't hold it in anymore."
After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he ran out of the bunker to pee.
"Damn, the lazy ass is grinding and peeing a lot."
Lao Niu muttered, put some crushed tobacco leaves in the pipe pot, lit it with a fire sickle, and took a nice puff, feeling a little more energetic.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise in the distance, and Lao Niu was startled. The pipe in his hand almost fell to the ground. He turned his head and looked outside the bunker. He saw a ball of fire rising into the sky behind the Japanese barracks in the distance. Then, more
A lot of firelight rose, and bullets exploded like fried beans.
"My dear, Langya must have taken away the little devil's ammunition depot!" Lao Niu said.
"This is good, the little devils have no ammunition, let's see what they use to attack Wujiashan." Zhao Hai walked in while fastening his trousers.
"That's wrong. I'm afraid the little devil is going to fight for his life. Get ready." When Lao Niu said this, his face showed an unprecedented solemnity. This is the experience of a veteran.
"Japanese! The Japanese are coming!" A soldier shouted in the distance.
"Da Tian, it's not like I've never seen a kid before, why are you panicking?" Lao Niu said.
"Old Niu, look quickly..."
Da Tian pointed at the Japanese in the distance, his eyes filled with fear.
Lao Niu looked outside. Through the reflection of the snow light, Lao Niu saw densely packed Japs, holding submachine guns in their hands and with samurai scarves tied on their heads. They were shouting about "laden" and charging forward, overwhelming and endless.
Endless.
"What the fuck?!" Lao Niu's eyes suddenly widened.
…
The huge explosion shook Akita awake.
"Akita-kun! Akita-kun!" A major shook Akita's shoulders vigorously, and Akita finally woke up from the dazed state.
"Major Yamazaki..."
Akita looked at Captain Yamazaki blankly.
Yamazaki let out a long breath and said, "Akita-kun, you finally woke up."
Akita finally remembered that at the last moment he was awake, a mortar shell exploded next to him, and then he lost consciousness.
Akita looked around and saw people everywhere. Many people were wiping their bayonets, and some were arranging their samurai towels. No one spoke, and it was as quiet as death.
"Yamazaki-kun, how is the situation now?" Akita asked.
"The situation is very bad. We have used up all the bullets, including grenades and grenade grenades." Yamazaki sighed.
Akita asked: "Didn't anyone send ammunition?"
Yamazaki sighed and said: "The sound you just heard was the explosion where the ammunition was stored. The remaining ammunition was blown up. Not to mention our brigade, even the entire Seventh Army did not have much ammunition anymore, and it had just been received.
When the notice arrives, my brigade must capture the group of bunkers in front before dawn. Akita-kun, I have decided to lead all the troops in a desperate charge!"
After hearing Yamazaki's words, Akita had a look of despair on his face. He didn't expect that the battle situation had deteriorated to this point.
Akita paused and said: "Yamazaki-kun, I am willing to join the desperate charge team and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Yamazaki nodded and said in a deep voice: "Akita-kun, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, please write them down. I asked everyone to write a suicide note and bring it to our family."
"Wish?" Akita looked frustrated. He had no relatives, only a fiancée. After he arrived in Manchuria, his fiancée wrote a letter saying that she also wanted to come to China to find him. Later, he heard that his fiancée had arrived in Shengjing, but he had not been there because he was busy with the war.
I have been looking for her for a year, but I haven't heard from her since then. Even if I send my suicide note, who can I send it to?
"Akita-kun, a group of women from China have been sent to express condolences to the imperial army. We can do whatever we want to them. You must have never tasted the taste of a woman. You can give it a try, two days at a time.
Yuan, money means nothing to us anymore, let’s go have some fun, we will launch an attack in one hour,” Yamazaki said.
Akita didn't speak. Yamazaki's words were like a knife cutting into his heart. Maybe this was the last moment of his life, but he hadn't tasted the taste of a woman yet, so he couldn't live this life in vain. "Thinking of this, Akita turned to Yamazaki.
Came from the place mentioned.
This was a temporary tent. There were more than a dozen people lined up outside each tent. Many people couldn't wait to untie their belts. Akita walked towards one of the tents and pushed the Japanese soldier who was lining up at the front.
aside.
"Hey, what are you doing..." The Japs turned around and glared at Akita fiercely.
When he saw that Akita was a second lieutenant, the Japs did not dare to speak anymore and obediently stepped aside. In the highly hierarchical Japs army, officers had priority in everything and had much greater privileges than soldiers, even when playing with women.
Akita walked into the tent and saw a woman huddled in bed in the cold winter. The floor was covered with clothes and messy tissues.
Akita came to the woman and found that her back was turned to him, preventing him from looking at her face.
"Please take care of me." The woman said with her back to Akita.
When he heard this voice, Akita felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His ears were buzzing and his heartbeat was abnormally accelerated. Why did this voice sound so familiar?
"Turn around!" Akita ordered.
"You can start like this." the woman said.
"I told you to turn around!" Akita shouted.
The woman's body trembled and she said, "Please don't mind. I have a fiancé who came to Manchuria a few years ago. I don't want him to know that I did this, so my face can only be shown to my fiancé."
After listening to the woman's words, Akita's body trembled, he came to the woman, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is your fiancé's name...Akita?"
The woman trembled and finally turned her head.
The next moment, Akita saw a pale and bloodless face.
"Michiko!" Akita shouted. This woman was the fiancée Akita thought about day and night. For a moment, Akita's heart felt like a knife was piercing her heart. He raised his foot and was about to walk towards Michiko.
"No! Akita-kun, don't come over!" Michiko burst into tears.
Akita's body froze there, humiliation, shock, longing, lovesickness, unwillingness, helplessness... In an instant, countless emotions surged into his heart.
"No!"
Akita suddenly roared, turned around and ran outside like crazy.
"Akita-kun! Akita-kun..."
In the tent, the grief-stricken Michiko burst into heart-wrenching cries.
Then Michiko took out a pistol. This pistol was given to her by the soldiers just now. One for each woman. When the soldiers left, they told them that if it fell into the hands of the Chinese, they would use this gun to kill themselves. There was only one bullet in the gun.
bullet.
Michiko picked up the pistol with trembling hands in despair, tears rolled down her eyes, why! Why did she meet Akita-kun here! Why did the empire launch this cruel war!
Michiko held the pistol tightly with trembling hands and pointed it at her temple.
