On Houtou Ridge, hand-to-hand combat has become intense.
"Nishiuchi!" Watanabe Keizo shouted violently, and with one step and then a thrust, the sharp saber had already stabbed into the chest of a Chinese soldier, and the Chinese soldier immediately screamed,
Then he tried his best to swing the Sanba Daigai in his hand and hit Keizo Watanabe on his bare forehead.
Unfortunately, Keizo Watanabe easily dodged with a sliding step and kicked the Chinese soldier to the ground.
The Chinese soldier let out a sigh of disappointment, and when he was about to stand up again, he found that all the strength had drained out of his body like a tide. He sat up with his arms on the ground halfway before he slumped back to the ground, and his head drooped feebly.
Down, and then there was no more sound.
"Jie Jie." Watanabe Keizo let out a ferocious laugh. He suddenly turned around and found a Chinese soldier riding on a Japanese soldier. At the same time, he stretched out his big palm-like hands to strangle the Japanese soldier's throat. The Japanese soldier had already been killed.
I pinched myself until my eyes turned white, and I could see that I was going to die.
"Baga!" Keizo Watanabe yelled angrily, and he reached behind the Chinese soldier in two steps. Then he raised his sword and stabbed the Chinese soldier's waistcoat with the sharp saber. The Chinese soldier
He let out a pitiful scream, and his body that was originally full of strength suddenly collapsed. The Japanese soldier who was riding underneath him took the opportunity to turn over, and in turn rode the Chinese soldier underneath him, then picked up his helmet and started to fight.
There was a violent smash.
In just a moment, the Chinese soldier's face was smashed into a bloody mess, and he was almost dead.
"Jie Jie." Watanabe Keizo let out two evil laughs again. When he looked around again, he found that there were less than ten Chinese soldiers still resisting on the position. The rest were either killed in battle or seriously injured and lying on the ground.
Unable to move on the ground, Watanabe Keizo immediately fell into ecstasy after seeing this scene.
Will we finally win the position that we failed to win after two days of hard fighting?
However, at this moment, a loud bugle suddenly sounded in Watanabe Keizo's ears: Tick-tick-tick...
Huh? When Keizo Watanabe suddenly turned his head to look, in the dim light of the fire, he saw countless Chinese soldiers with shining bayonets charging up from the west of Heritou Ridge. Heritou Ridge is a hillside with a high center and two bottoms.
, the eastern slope where the Japanese army is located has a steeper slope, while the western slope where the Chinese are located is gentler.
Therefore, the Chinese just charged on the flat ground, and in just a moment, they rushed to the position.
Seeing the Chinese soldiers killing them all over the mountains and plains, the Japanese who just thought they had a chance to win immediately became stupid.
Then, a boundless feeling of powerlessness spread in the hearts of all the Japanese soldiers. In two days, they attacked the mountain no less than twenty times, but it was like this every time. Just when victory was in sight, the Chinese
They launched a fierce counterattack and then drove them off the hilltop. This was the case for two days.
"Bagagaru!" Watanabe Keizo's pupils shrank sharply in an instant, and then he roared with his saber raised, "Warriors of the Third Infantry Battalion, Toji Kai, Toji Kai, Toji Kai..."
Encouraged by Keizo Watanabe, the remaining two hundred or so Japs roared loudly like wounded beasts.
The next moment, Watanabe Keizo drew the saber in his hand forward, and more than two hundred Japanese soldiers held bayonets in their hands and fiercely faced the Chinese soldiers sweeping forward.
A moment later, the two groups of people collided head-on.
"Nishiuchi!" Watanabe Keizan slashed diagonally with his sword. The Chinese soldier on the opposite side hurriedly raised the Sanba Gai and tried to block it, but only heard a soft pop, and the sharp saber actually cut off the Sanba Gai.
, the remaining power of the saber was not exhausted, and there was another squeak, opening a deep blood groove from the Chinese soldier's left shoulder to his right waist.
"Ah..." the Chinese soldier screamed miserably and fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing how ferocious Watanabe Keizo was, soldiers immediately approached from left and right, trying to attack from a flank.
However, Watanabe Keizo was not afraid. With one step, he came to one of the Chinese soldiers. The soldiers lined up from the left and right, and then Keizo Watanabe stepped forward and stabbed, blocking the Chinese soldier in front.
He suddenly dodged and got out of the way, but the Chinese soldier following him couldn't dodge and was immediately stabbed through.
It has to be said that Watanabe Keizo is really a fierce little devil. In the blink of an eye, he killed another soldier.
The remaining Chinese soldier knew he was outmatched, but showed no fear of the enemy. He roared loudly and stabbed Keizo Watanabe with his bayonet.
Watanabe Keizo raised his sword sharply, and the Chinese soldier stabbed him in the air with this sword.
The sword failed, and the Chinese soldiers couldn't hold back their momentum and ran straight towards the ferry.
Watanabe flipped his wrist violently, turned the originally raised saber diagonally, and then gently pulled it forward. The sharp blade made a gap on the right side of the Chinese soldier's neck, and the bright red blood instantly
Like a sharp arrow, it splashed out from the gaping wound on the side of the Chinese soldier's neck, splashing all over Watanabe's head and face.
Watanabe wiped the blood stains on his face and laughed like a devil.
"Chinese!" Watanabe said with a ferocious smile, "I'm going to kill you all, all of you!"
After taking a breath, Watanabe advanced with his sword again and again, only to find a young Chinese soldier striding forward to meet him.
Watanabe didn't know that he was the acting battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment, Huang Shouxin, because there were no rank marks on the uniforms of the independent regiment's officers and soldiers. The uniforms of officers and soldiers were all the same. From a Japanese perspective, there was no difference at all.
Unable to tell which one was an officer and which one was a soldier, Watanabe instinctively thought that Huang Shouxin was a new recruit.
Huang Shouxin also just discovered this old devil who was only wearing crotch pants. This old devil was obviously a tough guy. He had a saber in his hand that danced like a flower. In the blink of an eye, several soldiers fell under his sword.
Of course, the battalion commander, Huang Shouxin, couldn't let this old devil continue to be arrogant, so he rushed forward without hesitation.
Before he could even get closer, Huang Shouxin raised his pistol.
Seeing Huang Shouxin raising his gun, Watanabe immediately cursed and turned sideways.
Just hearing the sound of a horn, a flower of blood bloomed on Watanabe's left arm. It missed the vital point of Watanabe, an old devil by a hair's breadth. When Huang Shouxin wanted to shoot again, he had no chance, because Watanabe had no chance.
Bian had already approached Huang Shouxin, raised his sword and slashed Huang Shouxin down.
Huang Shouxin suddenly pulled out the bayonet with his left hand and raised his hand to block it.
With just a proper sound, Watanabe's thunderous sword struck the air. However, Watanabe's subsequent side kick also knocked away the pistol held by Huang Shouxin's right hand.
Huang Shouxin handed the bayonet to his right hand and swiped the knife towards Watanabe's throat with his backhand.
This was beyond Watanabe's expectation, and Watanabe could only instinctively retreat.
Huang Shouxin's fighting was also taught by Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng. His attacks were fast and fierce. Watanabe lost the opportunity and was forced to retreat continuously. He screamed and screamed but was unable to do anything and kept retreating.
After ten steps, Watanabe finally found an opportunity, and made a fierce backhand knife move, forcing Huang Shouxin back two steps diagonally.
Watanabe didn't know that Huang Shouxin actually retreated on purpose.
I don't know when, but the long pillar has quietly walked around the side of Watanabe.
As soon as Huang Shouxin retreated, Watanabe also turned around, turning his back to the long pillar.
Fighting on the battlefield is not a competition. Huang Shouxin doesn't care at all about using more to defeat less. As long as he can kill the little devil, he doesn't care whether the means are aboveboard. When Changzhu was ready, Huang Shouxin immediately shouted and asked Watanabe again.
After launching a fierce attack, Watanabe struggled for a long time and his physical strength was severely exhausted. At that moment, he was forced to retreat continuously.
Before he knew it, Watanabe had already retreated in front of Changzhu. Changzhu gently moved the bayonet forward, and with a pop sound, the sharp bayonet stabbed Watanabe in the left chest.
After passing through, Watanabe immediately let out a scream and tried hard to turn around, but he couldn't.
After struggling for a moment, Watanabe's head drooped feebly.
He looked up and looked around, only to see that all the Japanese on the battlefield had been killed.
Huang Shouxin spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, turned around and said to Changzhu: "Zhuzhu, report to the political commissar immediately, saying that the Japs' attack has been repelled, and the Houtou Ridge position remains unchanged!"
"Yes!" Changzhu responded loudly, turned around and ran away.
(Dividing line)
Twenty miles away, the 10th Division headquarters.
The little piggy boy stayed up all night and was pacing back and forth anxiously outside the tent.
In a blink of an eye, Chief of Staff Changdi walked out of the tent of the communications office with a livid face, walked up to Xiaozhu Yinan, nodded heavily and reported: "Division Commander, the attack of the 40th Infantry Regiment has begun again.
The independent regiment was disintegrated, the third infantry battalion to which it belonged was collectively shattered, and the battalion leader Keizo Watanabe was also killed on the spot."
"Baga Yalu." Upon hearing this, the muscles on Xiaozhu's face immediately twitched violently.
After a long while, Xiaozhu Yinan gritted his teeth and said: "Where is this idiot Xi Datiao Fatty?"
Tsubuzaki sighed and said sadly: "Nishi Ojo-san has ended his life in a samurai way."
The little piggy man snorted and swallowed the following words that insulted Xi Da Tiao Fatty back into his stomach.
Di Bujiagui sighed again and said sadly: "Division Commander, although it is difficult to say this, we have to admit that it is probably impossible to capture the Houtou Ridge position in a short period of time. However, with our water reserves
, and there are only a few meager water sources, which may not be enough to support our long-term operations."
Although Dibujiagui is not stated explicitly, the implication is already very clear.
At this point in the battle, the 10th Division has basically lost hope of victory. Now, we can no longer act on impulse. It is time to make early plans for the safety of the 10th Division.
