On Houtou Ridge, hand-to-hand combat has become intense.
"Nishiuchi!" Watanabe Keizo shouted violently, and with one step and then another thrust, the sharp saber pierced the chest of a Chinese soldier, and the Chinese soldier immediately screamed, Then he tried his best to swing the Sanba Gai in his hand and hit Keizo Watanabe on his bare head.
Unfortunately, Keizo Watanabe easily dodged with a sliding step, and kicked the Chinese soldier to the ground.
The Chinese soldier let out a disappointed sigh, 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, only to find 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 scolded 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 mournful 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 riding. A sudden 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 laughed twice again. When he looked around, 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, Keizo Watanabe 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...
OK? When Watanabe Keizo suddenly turned his head to look, in the dim light of the fire, he saw countless Chinese soldiers with shining bayonets rushing up from the west of Heritou Ridge. Heritou Ridge is a hillside with a high center and two bottoms. The Japanese army is located there. The eastern slope is steeper, while the western slope where the Chinese are located is gentler.
Therefore, the Chinese were like charging on the ground. In just a moment, they rushed to the position.
Looking at the Chinese soldiers who were 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 down the hill. It has been like this for two whole 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, Taoji Kai, Taoji Kai, Taoji 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 and fiercely faced the Chinese soldiers sweeping forward.
A moment later, the two crowds collided head-on.
"Nishiuchi!" Watanabe Keizan made a diagonal slash 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, Japanese 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 Japanese soldiers lined up from the left and right, and then Watanabe Keizo stepped forward and stabbed in front. The Chinese soldier suddenly dodged and got out of the way, but the Chinese soldier following him couldn't dodge and was immediately stabbed through.
I have to say that Watanabe Keizo, this little devil is really fierce. In the blink of an eye, he killed another Japanese soldier.
The remaining Chinese soldier knew that he was outmatched, but he showed no fear of the enemy. He roared and stabbed Keizo Watanabe with his bayonet.
Watanabe Keizo raised his sword fiercely, 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 in 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 moment to breathe, Watanabe advanced with his sword again and again, only to find a young Chinese soldier striding up 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 the same. From a Japanese perspective, there was no 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 rush forward, 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 blood flower 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 knife and cut Huang Shouxin down.
Huang Shouxin suddenly pulled out the bayonet with his left hand and raised his hand to block it.
With just a 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 time was beyond Watanabe's expectation, and Watanabe could only retreat instinctively.
Huang Shouxin's fighting skills were 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 but was unable to do anything and kept retreating. After ten steps, Watanabe finally found an opportunity. He made a fierce backhand knife move, forcing Huang Shouxin back two steps diagonally.
But Watanabe didn't know that Huang Shouxin actually retreated on purpose.
I don't know when, but Changzhu had quietly walked around to the side of Watanabe.
As soon as Huang Shouxin retreated, Watanabe also turned around, turning his back to Changzhu.
Fighting on the battlefield is not a competition. Huang Shouxin doesn't care about using more to defeat fewer. 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 attacked Watanabe again. After a long period of fighting, Watanabe was severely exhausted and was forced to retreat continuously.
Unknowingly, Watanabe had retreated in front of Changzhu. Changzhu gently moved the bayonet forward, and with a pop sound, the sharp bayonet stabbed Watanabe's left chest. After passing through, Watanabe immediately let out a scream and tried hard to turn around, but he couldn't turn around.
After struggling for a moment, Watanabe's head drooped feebly.
Looking up and looking around, he saw 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 suddenly, 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.
Suddenly, the chief of staff walked out of the tent of the communications office with a livid face, walked up to Xiaozhu Yinan, and reported with a heavy pause: "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." Hearing this, Xiaozhu Yinan's muscles immediately twitched violently.
After a long while, Xiaozhu Yinan gritted his teeth and said, "Where is this idiot Xi Da Tiao 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 Datiao 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 sustain our long-term operations."
Although Dibujiagui didn't say it explicitly, the implication was 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. (To be continued.)
