Chapter 1113 The mountain rhododendron blooms in advance!
The three anxious scouts headed by Lu Zhongda arrived at the battlefield after running wildly for nearly 35 minutes.
The nearly 8-kilometer mountain road took the three fully-armed soldiers only 35 minutes. They definitely set a new record for the entire Four Lines Regiment's fully-armed cross-country trip, and no one could break it for a long time.
But it's still too late!
The battle is over!
It was not yet 9 o'clock, and the morning sun shone warmly and warmly on the three soldiers who were sweating profusely. However, looking at the scene in front of them, the three soldiers only felt cold all over their bodies.
The 16-year-old boy, whose feet had been worn to pieces and whose clothes had been hung up by thorns in the mountains, was staring blankly ahead!
Yes, the scene in front of me was really too tragic, so tragic that it far exceeded the psychological endurance limit of a 16-year-old boy.
The beautiful and peaceful Sayue Valley in the past is still beautiful. The scarlet red and earthy yellow scattered everywhere on the top of the mountain, on the slopes and on the mountain roads look more like a picture soaked in the rich autumn colors from a distance.
It’s just that at this time of year, the azaleas are not yet in full bloom and the maple leaves are not frosty yet!
It's not that there are no people alive, it's just that compared to those he gathered before setting off, there are too few!
Less than 300 meters away from the four of them, the still-living villagers silently picked up the corpses of their relatives they had found. Even though they were injured and weak, and even though the mountain was steep and they would fall after walking a few steps, they
They still bit their lips and stood up in silence, continuing to carry the corpses forward!
No one can help them, there are too few people alive and too many people dead!
Even if he is still alive, the blood on his body has already soaked his clothes!
It was this group of people who struggled hard until they sent the corpses to the flat land on the top of the mountain!
There are corpses everywhere!
They are arranged neatly, and if you look around, there are more than 200 of them!
"Ah~~~" The 16-year-old boy looked at the scene in front of him. After being stunned for more than 30 seconds, he knelt down and let out a long, inhuman howl toward the distant mountains!
This blow was really too big for the young man.
There were 400 young men in Yeyue Village when they set out to conquer Sa Yue Valley, ranging in age from 14 to 40. They included almost all the male playmates, brothers, fathers, uncles and uncles of this 16-year-old boy.
And the shocking large number of remains belonging to the tribe that were found and put together completely meant that the 16-year-old boy would lose most of his male relatives and friends in this battle alone.
You said, why can't a 16-year-old boy break his heart and be so sad that he can't help himself?
Compared with the teenagers, Lu Zhongda and the other two soldiers had experienced countless battlefields. They had seen this kind of scene with corpses everywhere, and the shock in their hearts was still much smaller.
After the brief shock, they looked more for signs of the Japanese troops who should have retreated and the figures of their two comrades-in-arms.
After all, even with the three of them and three guns, it would be difficult to deal with hundreds of Japanese troops. Only when the other three groups arrived could they be able to hold them back.
In fact, they and Shen Laoliu had the same idea. They must not allow this group of Japanese troops to escape into the mountains and forests. The three defense lines in eastern Shanxi will all invest their main forces on the front of their respective battlefields. There will be no spare power to defend the broader defense lines. If they are attacked by
This group of Japanese troops sneaked into the logistics unit and the losses would be extremely heavy.
Tracking the Japanese invaders may be what they are about to do.
They were even more concerned about the safety of Shen Lao Liu and Zhang San. If Shen Lao Liu and Zhang San died here, the losses to the reconnaissance company would be huge.
But something happened that made Lu Zhongda's heart sink.
Apart from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers left on the battlefield, there was no trace of the Japanese soldiers. What was even more painful was that until now, he had not seen the two familiar figures in camouflage uniforms appear!
"Chickens don't cry! We won, you should be happy!" A guy who smelled of blood and was still dripping with blood strode over, carrying the remains of a mountain man on his back.
The young man whose face was covered with tears looked up at the speaker. He rubbed his eyes hard and finally recognized the young man in front of him. He even cried out in sorrow: "Brother Ayan! But many of us have died.
There are so many people here!”
"Asshole, you have a ball to help me carry Ayu. This bastard keeps complaining that he doesn't have enough to eat. As a result, it's so heavy that I can hardly carry him." Long Yan scolded loudly.
"Brother Ayu!" Tears welled up in the young man's eyes, but he did not dare to stand up sloppily and carefully took the limp remains from Long Yan's body.
It was only then that Lu Zhongda and the two soldiers discovered that the young man in front of them actually had two wounds on his thighs and arms. When he moved slightly, blood would continue to pour out.
If you guessed correctly, it should be a stab wound caused by a Type 38 bayonet!
The three scouts knew the ferocity of the 38 bayonet. Once the blade is inserted into the body and stirred by force, it can instantly cause a large amount of blood loss and make the person lose the ability to continue fighting!
But the guy in front of him, even though he had been stabbed once on his thigh and arm, could move freely and carry a human body weighing hundreds of kilograms on his back, he was really a strong person with this mental will.
The three soldiers stood in awe!
"Brother, we are comrades-in-arms of Shen Laoliu and Zhang San! I want to know where did the Japanese go?" Lu Zhongda asked quickly after announcing his home.
"Japanese?" Long Yan, who was a little depressed, curled his lips. "They have no chance to escape!"
"Huh?" The three soldiers were stunned.
"Aren't they all here?"
"What?" The three soldiers were all confused.
The villagers suffered heavy casualties, which was completely unexpected.
The combat strength level of the Japanese infantry is very clear to the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment who have interacted with them countless times.
Let alone more than 200 people, just 100 people. It would not be a big problem to fight against an ordinary Chinese infantry company built in Hanyang, let alone a group of ordinary mountain people holding blunderbuss and swords.
On the way here, Lu Zhongda had already asked the young man who led the way about the equipment of the villagers. When they heard that they only had long knives and blunderbuss, plus a few rifles and shell guns, their hearts dropped.
As a result, the guy in front of me actually said that they suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese were completely wiped out!
Could it be said that there are not more than 200 Japanese, but just a few dozen?
"What's so difficult about this? The biggest mistake of the Japanese is that they shouldn't fight with us." Looking at the disbelief on the faces of the three soldiers, Long Yan felt a sense of pride on his face. "Of course, Brother Ah Liu is also good.
If so, I will obey him!"
"What's wrong with Shen Laoliu?" Lu Zhongda was suddenly startled.
After a bloody battle, as a soldier, it is never a good thing to be praised without seeing anyone.
"He is injured, my sister is taking care of him!" Long Yan's words made the three soldiers feel relieved a little.
It's just that he was injured and didn't finish the job on the spot. Injuries are commonplace for soldiers.
However, when they saw their comrades under the leadership of Long Yan, they realized that they were too optimistic.
Shen Laoliu was not injured at all, but he was seriously injured and dying! Even when Lu Zhongda shouted loudly in anger, he only moved a finger.
Because his injuries were so severe that he had exhausted all his strength to even breathe.
A 38 bayonet, connected to a 38 rifle, pierced his chest!
The woman kneeling beside him with tears in her eyes and Zhang San, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, did not dare to pull out the gun at all, for fear that if he did, he would die immediately.
The three older villagers nearby chewed some grass leaves with their mouths, and then applied these grass lakes around the blade to stop the bleeding.
Although that is basically useless.
At that moment, Lu Zhongda felt like his head was buzzing!
He knew in his heart that such an injury, let alone Caohu Lake, could not be cured. Even if he went to the operating table of the medical company and was operated by those blond and blue-eyed Western doctors, he might not be able to survive.
The top three snipers in the reconnaissance company, Mingxin's best partner, and his old comrade-in-arms, I'm afraid he won't live much longer.
"What's going on with the horse rider? Lao Liu is a shooter. He has a semi-automatic rifle and a pistol. How could he participate in hand-to-hand combat?" Lu Zhongda, who was cold all over, asked in a low voice, almost with a low voice. He also had several spots on his body.
A wounded fire support hand.
"Squad Leader Lu, you don't know, that battle just now was so tragic..." Zhang San said with a strong cry.
The Japanese army who completely gave up their left wing finally rushed up the mountain with about 180 people, and the villagers who faced them were about 240 people!
Just as the Japanese army underestimated the power of the Jiuli sword, the villagers of Yeyue Village also underestimated the power of the Japanese stabbing skills.
The Japanese troops in groups of three were either focused on attack or defense. The 1.75-meter-long bayonet took the advantage of "one inch long, one inch strong" to the extreme.
Long Yan and the few strong men in the village could crush their opponents in one-on-one combat, but they were also helpless when encountering a group of three Japanese soldiers. This was how Long Yan received the knife on his thigh.
If the two playmates who were following him hadn't fought hard to force the Japanese army back, the wound on Long Yan's thigh might not have been as big as it was now, and the entire leg might have been lost.
In other words, despite the fact that the villagers in Yeyue Village were more numerous and their swordsmanship and combat knives were sharp enough, they were still at a disadvantage against the Japanese infantry who had strict tactical discipline and superb stabbing skills.
This was even when many Japanese soldiers were stung by wasps and injured by shrapnel from "explosive bombs". It would have been even more difficult if the Japanese army was in its prime!
If nothing else goes wrong, these 240 people fought in hand-to-hand combat with 180 Japanese troops using pure cold weapons. In the end, basically all 240 people were killed, and the Japanese army ended in a tragic victory.
This outcome was actually the best outcome for Army Captain Haruta Youmono, who was killed by Long Yan's crazy sword attack with his liver and gallbladder split to pieces.
At that time, he had no other thoughts. He just wanted to kill all the fierce Chinese mountain people in front of him and then leave this place far away.
Any interference, attack, harassment, it's all bullshit. He has to leave here. No matter where he goes, he has to hide until the whole war is over. After he returns, he will admit it even if he goes to a military court.
As for the left wing, the Japanese army did not attack, but it does not mean that there is no defense. They still left ten seriously injured riflemen and eight machine gunners on the mountain road, as well as two 92 heavy machine guns and four light machine guns.
Enough ammunition.
Any infantry who dares to attack their defense line will die!
But they are wrong, the left-wing Chinese are downhill!
More than 60 people, like running antelopes, rushed down from the skirmisher line more than 300 meters wide!
The six machine guns had done their best, and their crazy firepower swept down at least one-third of the dozens of people rushing down.
But among the more than 60 people, there was actually a Chinese sharpshooter who was despicable.
Using the machine gunner's undisguised shooting, the Chinese marksman also shot them in the fighting position!
All six main machine gun shooters were killed in less than 2 minutes. The two only assistant shooters were not unskilled in machine guns and did not dare to pick up the machine gun, but the bloody facts made them lose the courage to take over the heavy machine gun!
6 for 20, a battle loss ratio of almost 1:3. In the end, only no more than 40 Chinese mountain people rushed to the mountain road. It seemed that the Japanese army took advantage.
But it was these 40 people who completely turned the tide of the war.
All the dozens of wounded Japanese soldiers on the mountain road were ruthlessly killed by villagers carrying long knives. Then, led by Shen Laoliu and Zhang San, who were carrying pistols, they rushed to the top of the right wing mountain.
After the two Black Star pistols fired seven rounds of bullets each and killed no less than ten Japanese soldiers in a row, the 40 long knives that followed completely changed the balance of the battlefield.
In the era of hot weapons, although artillery shells can tear the human body apart and look extremely bloody, it is often hundreds of meters away, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke caused by firearms and gunpowder also dilutes the smell of blood.
But the fight with cold weapons, accompanied by the slashing of the blade and the penetration of the bayonet into the body, the shrill screams and the splatter of blood, were all very close.
The Japanese army, which took this as a sign of bravery, may not have expected that a group of ordinary Chinese mountain people would have a fighting will that was completely different from theirs.
On the top of the mountain, on the slopes, and in the woods of this valley, the two sides did not care about the topography. Wherever there were opponents, there would be fighting.
The villagers of Yeyue Village have actually gone far beyond the so-called ethnic ties. For more than two hundred years, if they had not united as one, they would have been eliminated by the cruel natural environment.
This battle is just one of the crises they have encountered in the past two hundred years, and it is just the biggest one.
No one flinches, brother dies, brother dies, father dies and son follows!
For a full 15 minutes, there was no sound of gunfire in the entire battlefield, only the contact of swords and guns and the miserable screams of human beings being injured!
As Captain Haruta Youmono was chopped off his head by Long Yan, the remaining fighting spirit of the Japanese army completely dissipated.
The elite troops of the Japanese 20th Division, which had a difficult time entering China, were defeated in hand-to-hand combat for the first time, and the remaining 30 or so Japanese troops began to retreat.
The fighting battle turned into a one-sided pursuit battle!
The hunter has completely become the prey!
In this vast mountain of China, the Jiuli tribe are the most powerful hunters. They did not even rescue the injured villagers. As long as they could move, they all joined in the pursuit and killing battle.
A group of sixty-year-old men and a group of more than a dozen hunting dogs destroyed the last hope of escape for the remaining Japanese troops.
They were picked out from the woods and shrubs by hounds, and even though they knelt down to beg for surrender, their heads were mercilessly chopped off with a knife.
Until Lu Zhongda and others arrived, the battle had only ended for a few minutes. The villagers who had completely wiped out the Japanese army began to rescue the wounded and collect the remains of their own dead.
Although there are no detailed statistics yet, based on the approximate number of people who can still fight, the number of casualties is definitely not less than 300.
Compared with the nearly 300 Japanese invaders who were killed, the loss ratio in this ambush was almost 1:1.
It's tragic, but it's something to be proud of.
This was perhaps the most glorious victory in the entire Jin Province, the entire north, and even the entire China, where civilians fought against the regular army for the first time.
Chun Youwu's biggest mistake was not stepping into the ambush of Yeyue Village, but choosing to use hand-to-hand combat to eliminate the hostility he felt after suffering heavy losses!
Unexpectedly, the bravery of the Japanese army, which they were proud of, would be shattered in front of a group of Jiuli people who had been forged by hardships for hundreds of years!
If instead of using this tactic, they continue to defend the mountain road and maintain a large number of fresh troops, with their current ammunition reserves, even if Lu Zhongda and others arrive, they will be defeated at most, and they will not be completely annihilated like this!
From the captain to the private, no one survives!
Of course, for Yeyue Village, there is no distinction between military ranks. All opponents will be cut down with one sword and their corpses will be separated, regardless of whether they are alive or dead.
The reason why Shen Laoliu was severely injured was that during the fight between the two sides, Long Ying had just stabbed a long knife into the body of a Japanese soldier. After suffering heavy injuries, the Japanese soldier became fierce and fiercely held the blade with both hands. Although Long Ying
He reacted quickly, twitched his wrist hard, and used a sharp blade to cut off the Japanese soldier's fingers, but that still took time after all.
A Japanese soldier not far away found such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, accelerated several steps in a row, and stabbed Long Ying in the back with a single shot.
Shen Laoliu, who arrived just in time, had no time to block, so he actually chose the 'stupid' tactic of using his body as a shield to block Long Ying's back.
The sharp blade penetrated straight through his chest, which was not very generous. If he hadn't held on to the muzzle of the Japanese gun for a brief moment while the bayonet penetrated his flesh, perhaps the female-headed man who had just reacted would have been struck by this fierce weapon.
Stab the meat into skewers with a bayonet.
Long Ying, who had just drawn the knife, was so furious that he first cut off the insidious pig-headed Saburo's arm with the knife, then turned the blade and slashed his tibia with a 'sweeping knife', and then stabbed the severely disabled Japanese Army second lieutenant to death with a backhand stab.
Nailed to the ground.
But the Japanese army second lieutenant's ferocious smile before dying still made the female-headed woman feel cold all over.
The 30-centimeter-long blade of the Sanba bayonet almost completely penetrated into Shen Laoliu's chest. As Shen Laoliu fell to the sky, he breathed quickly, and blood came out of his mouth and nose. If there was a doctor here, he would definitely be there.
Yes, it means that hemorrhage from the lungs has entered the respiratory system. If the bleeding is not stopped immediately, let alone the blood will block the trachea and cause suffocation, a large amount of blood loss will also cause his death!
Not to mention, the cold bayonet might cut off the aorta in his heart. If that were the case, Shen Laoliu would be dead in less than a minute!
Fortunately, Long Ying's reaction was quick enough, and he cut off Zhu Tou Sanlang's arm that was still exerting strength with one knife. Shen Laoliu's final burst of strength also delayed Zhu Tou San Lang's brute force.
Otherwise, all Lu Zhongda would see would be a body that was already cold!
But even so, Shen Laoliu should be on his deathbed! His eyeballs have begun to roll upward.
"I want to make a stretcher and send him back to the regiment, where he can also perform surgery!" Lu Zhongda was heartbroken and could only take this chance.
He knew that Shen Laoliu might not be able to withstand the bumpy mountain road, let alone 16 kilometers, or even a few hundred meters.
But what can he do? Just watch his comrades die silently?
"He said that he owed us Yeyue Village, and he paid it back with his life!" The silently weeping female head suddenly raised her head, her face covered in blood looking a little ferocious.
"But how can he pay back his life? Hundreds of my people died in the battle, and he can't pay back. He has to live to pay back!"
