Chapter 66: Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself

  After listening to Meng Shuai's words, Shan Yixuan also felt that this explanation was reasonable. They were too confident in the 24th Division's abilities. Watabe Kenichi was furious that Shan Yixuan did not respond to him, which was a great humiliation for a general.

  The sound of "Chi..." The sword's sheath attracted the attention of Shan Yixuan and others. A nearby soldier, who was on high alert, quickly raised his gun and aimed at Tobu Jianyi's head, ready to blow it off if he made a move against Zhou Weiguo and the others.

  "Are you not ashamed of winning against my troops with such despicable tactics?" Knowing that Zhou Weiguo and the man in front, Shan Yixuan, understood Japanese, the officer beside him stopped translating.

  Shan Yixuan looked at Zhou Weiguo, then turned to Watabe Kenichi, who was holding a knife in both hands. With a cold expression, he said in Japanese: "You still know that the lowest of the low can't use such methods? You broke into my country's territory and acted recklessly on our land. Are your tactics really that clever? Did those unarmed villagers and girls in Zhaojiazhuang offend you? You killed even those who didn't resist, what qualifications do you have to talk about being open and honest with us? Do you have the qualifications?" Shan Yixuan clenched his fists and quickly walked up to Watabe Kenichi. With a flying kick, he struck Watabe's chest and roared: "You Japanese aren't supposed to believe in Bushido spirit? Come on! I'll fight you one-on-one! If you pass me, I'll let all of you go!"

  Watabe Kenichi fell to the ground, looking at Shan Yixuan in horror. Just now, he thought that this young man was not worth mentioning, but now it seems that this young man is not ordinary either. Watabe Kenichi let out a cold snort, stood up and picked up the officer's sword that had fallen to the ground, shouting loudly: "Bastard!" Before his voice fell, the officer's sword in his hand had already chopped towards Shan Yixuan's shoulder.

  Duan Yixuan curled his lip, took advantage of the momentum to crouch down, and swept his right leg fiercely on the ground, causing Tohbu Genichi to fall to the ground with a "thud".

  "With you like this, can you still be a lieutenant general?" Shuang Yixuan looked at Watabe Kenichi who had fallen and got his mouth dirty, sneering. Seeing Watabe Kenichi's embarrassed state, everyone burst out laughing.

  Shan Yixuan originally wanted to tease him, but Hu Yan stopped him and said: "Brother, that's enough!" Shan Yixuan of course understood what Hu Yan meant. He wanted to capture this group of Japanese soldiers. "Commander Hu, do you think they have good intentions?" Shan Yixuan pointed at the dozen or so devils in front of him, each with a ferocious expression, their guns although unloaded, still had bayonets attached, which meant they hadn't given up resisting.

  "I repeat what the Eighth Route Army commander said, he asked if you would surrender and disarm?" Shan Yixuan glanced at all the Japanese troops, including Lieutenant General Watabe Kenichi on the ground!

  Things were just as Shuang Yixuan had imagined, not a single person dropped their weapons, although they hadn't launched an attack yet, but Shuang Yixuan decided not to give them another chance! Under everyone's gaze, Shuang Yixuan took down the sniper rifle from his back, slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, and easily pulled the bolt with his right hand. He then raised the gun and aimed at a soldier "Bang" - a shot rang out, an icy bullet pierced through the enemy's skull, everyone was startled by Shuang Yixuan's sudden move! More than ten Japanese soldiers involuntarily retreated several steps back!

  "What are you doing? They've already removed the bullets, stop!" Hu Yan was startled by Shan Yixuan's sudden move, as the military could not arbitrarily kill prisoners of war, including those who had no ability to resist. Not only was Hu Yan startled by Shan Yixuan's sudden action, but two lieutenant colonels of the National Army were also shocked.

  Hu Yan grabbed Xuan's hand and shouted: "Xuan Yi Xuan, stop!"

  Dan Yixuan licked the tip of his tongue, helplessly putting down the raised gun and shouting loudly: "Look at them, do they have the heart to be your prisoners? They withdrew their bullets because they were afraid of mistakenly injuring their own comrades in close combat. Did you see that? Which one of their guns doesn't have a bayonet? They're just waiting for an order, an order from this stupid devil!" As he spoke, he kicked Watabe Kenichi, who had been lying on the ground for a long time.

  "Eighty!" A Japanese army lieutenant saw Shan Yixuan kicking their major and rushed towards Shan Yixuan with the gun in his hand!

  "Hum! Come on, little devil!" The sound of the sacrifices of those brothers and the villagers brutally killed by the Japanese army made a surge of anger boil up in Shan Yixuan's heart!

  When the devil's bayonet was about to threaten Shan Yixuan's safety, Shan Yixuan quickly turned the Mauser rifle around and violently knocked the devil's bayonet into the air. Then he kicked his right leg into the devil's abdomen, and the devil fell to the ground. Shan Yixuan ruthlessly pulled the trigger, and a shot hit the devil's belly with a loud "bang".

  Zhou Weiguo and Meng Shuai were already stunned, the single Yixuan in front of them was speaking sharp Japanese, and his kung fu was also very good. Hu Yan originally wanted to say something, but seeing the angry devils rushing towards Yixuan, he swallowed back what he had on his lips. Zhou Weiguo saw all the devils rush towards Yixuan, and immediately made a aiming gesture. The National Army leaning in front immediately raised their guns and aimed at the Japanese army that was rushing forward.

  Shan Yixuan looked at the dozen or so devils charging towards him, unhurriedly putting away his Mauser 98K sniper rifle behind him. He then slowly bent down and pulled out a shiny black dagger from his boot. The black dagger had an eerie skull engraved on it, and the entire blade seemed to be emitting a cold killing aura. Looking at the dagger in his hand, he thought: Since you've accompanied me to this world, let's get you stained with the blood of invaders first! This was the custom-made cold weapon of Qian Fei, Asia's number one killer, almost everyone in the assassination world knew about it. How many lives had this dagger taken? Today, it would once again see the light of day here.

  Shan Yixuan looked at the devils who had rushed to his front, and quickly used the fastest speed to drill into the place where the devils were most numerous. The dagger in his hand also followed Shan Yixuan to wander to the side of the devil's throat. In three minutes, more than a dozen devils died miserably in front of everyone, and their cause of death was surprisingly all throat injuries, severed.

  The brothers of the Linghuo Strike Team were finally enlightened today, and since joining the strike team, they had never seen Xuan Ge use cold weapons to kill people. The brothers' emotions were particularly excited.

  Sun Yixuan's kung fu left the three officers extremely surprised and shocked. In just three minutes, all the devils in front of them except for two senior captains and three junior captains were solved. The devils who had just stood together became a piece of fertilizer in just a few minutes. Sun Yixuan let out a bitter laugh, pointing his gun at one of the junior captains, "Bang!" A single shot hit the junior captain right between the eyebrows.

  The remaining two devils saw Xuan Yixun turn around and run away like a demon, Xuan Yixun took out the clip, Liu San stepped forward to hand over the clip to Xuan Yixun. Xuan Yixun took the clip, slowly raised his gun without making a sound and said: "Old Liu, I'll take care of the left one, you take care of the right one!"

  "Yes!" Liu San immediately took down the sniper rifle from his back, quickly loaded the bullets into the chamber, and aimed.

  "Bang! Bang!" After two dull gunshots, two devils fell into the bushes with a "thud".

  Shan Yixuan put away his gun, turned around and said to Hu Yan: "Chief, this guy is handed over to you!" Shan Yixuan glanced at the gray-headed and dusty Tohbu Kenichi and said lightly. This guy's military rank is too high, it's better to leave him for the Eighth Route Army to deal with!

  "Bastards, you've violated the Geneva Convention! You're openly firing at prisoners who have already surrendered. I'll sue you in the International Military Tribunal!" Watanabe Kenichi gazed coldly at Shan Yixuan, this young and arrogant expression was etched deeply into his mind. The humiliation he suffered today, if there's a chance in the future, will definitely make him regret for life!

  Dan Yi Xuan sneered and said seriously, "The Geneva Convention stipulates that during wartime, troops are not allowed to shoot at surrendered prisoners. Your soldiers have not put down their guns after surrendering. The Geneva Convention also states that anyone who does not surrender with a gun is not considered a prisoner of war. Entering our territory with a gun and bullets makes you an enemy. I suggest you go back and memorize the convention's articles! Moreover, let me tell you another piece of news that will make you unhappy: I am now a bandit, not a soldier, so the Geneva Convention does not apply to me! If I want to kill you, I'll kill you, what can you do about it? Believe it or not, I'll shoot you right now!" As he spoke, he pulled out a Browning pistol from his waist and pressed it against Tohbu Keiichi's forehead.

  "You...!" Watabe Kenichi glared at Shan Yixuan with a furious gaze and said, "I remember you!"

  "Haha, someone who remembers me isn't bad either. Don't forget me, my name is Shan Yixuan! Shan Yixuan! Remember!" Shan Yixuan flipped over the pistol and used the butt of the gun to heavily strike Watabe Kenichi's head. If it weren't for seeing the high-ranking generals from both the Eighth Route Army and the National Army today, this lieutenant general wouldn't have planned on letting him live either.

  "Brother Shan is really skilled, just a moment ago he helped me out of trouble on the battlefield, otherwise my 388th regiment would have suffered heavy losses!" Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.

  Shan Yixuan waved his hand and said, "It's the same, actually I should thank you. If it weren't for your attack on the Japanese army's ambush unit, the sniper would have been staring at us without letting go, not to mention covering your retreat!"

  "Brother Shan, you were quite accomplished at a young age, and your stories have been circulating everywhere in the national army. I wonder if Brother Shan has any intention of bringing these brothers of yours to join us?" Commander Meng approached and persuaded Shan, seeing that he was a talented individual and that each of his subordinates looked like a promising seedling.

  Shan Yixuan glanced at Hu Yan, his original family was the Communist Party, and it wasn't the time to choose a party affiliation now. He said: "Thank you, Chief, for your support, but I haven't considered joining any party yet. You see, I'm not alone, these brothers have many things that are still problematic!"

  "Alright, the doors of our army are always open to you and your brothers!" Meng Shuai said with a smile, clasping his fists together. Shan Yixuan responded with a simple "Mm", saying: "Thank you!"

  The 24th Division of the Japanese army was completely paralyzed, and this battle successfully annihilated more than 6,000 people from the 24th Division of the North China Front Army of Japan, becoming the first major victory of the Nationalist-Communist cooperation against Japan. The thrilling news spread to all war zones in China at the first time, and the Nationalist-Communist joint anti-Japanese campaign brought higher anti-Japanese enthusiasm to the Chinese people.
