Article Forty-Seven

  It's clear that not only the Chu Jiang gang wants to prove themselves as heroes of the Chinese nation. It's also clear that hatred towards invaders is not limited to any faction or party! The sound that echoed through the northern mountains, which made Yan Wei feel his blood boiling with excitement, was a haunting and deadly melody! Yan Wei laughed out loud, "Hah!" "Hahaha..."

  This smile is not the joy of being reborn in a desperate situation, nor is it the thrill of victory or defeat at the moment of life and death! This is a kind of emotion! A kind of emotion that only existed during the great war and espionage era of the 20th century!

  What a national emotion!

  The sound of the Communist army's loud and clear military horn echoed through the wilderness! Yan Wei seemed to have begun sympathizing with his long-lost opponent!

  As a military officer, the opponent is not bad at all! This can be seen from the tragic end of this excellent commander's own journey! But undoubtedly, this opponent of mine is ultimately not a lucky one!

  Fu Daojun has arrived. There's no mistake, this loud and clear bugle call that can penetrate into one's bone marrow, stimulate and awaken all the dormant neural elements in his body, Yan Wei had heard it more than once before. And as comrades-in-arms who fought side by side to repel the enemy, this was also the second time!

  The Communist army's Fu Daojun unit is not a motley crew of Jianghu gangs! The Communist army still has some rationality in battle, and Fu Daojun is even more of a mastermind! Yan Wei had already experienced this last time. The bravery of his soldiers, which began to make Yan Wei believe that the fallacy that a group of explosive sheep can defeat a group of ferocious tigers with broken livers and gallbladders, was evident from the start!

  This group of poorly equipped, low combat quality and ammunition-scarce peasant troops sometimes burst out with a momentum like a mighty flood that shocks heaven and earth, and the turbulent waves can indeed shatter anything they want to shatter!

  Although Yan Wei still doesn't understand what kind of power it is, perhaps the difference in life beliefs will make Yan Wei never understand the essence of that power.

  But that power exists!

  Watching the group of Communist soldiers charging down like a tiger, Yan Wei secretly praised them. This direction is the only way they can escape, Fu Da Jun can take advantage of the terrain to launch a surprise attack in this direction, fully possessing all the qualities of an excellent army commander! As long as Fu Da Jun's troops can break through the Japanese army's defense line responsible for annihilating themselves in the north, he and the heroes of Chu Jiang Bang will be able to charge out together and it won't be just a fantasy! The number of people who can survive tonight will not be three or two, but ten or more!

  This hateful Fu Daojun. It seems that tonight I will ultimately have no chance to reunite with my beloved Fang Lan below!

  Farewell, my beloved!

  "Pass down the order, all brothers stop breaking through and find cover to resist with all their might! Fight back against the enemy at every step and wait for the Communist Party's friendly forces to launch a charge. Wait for the right moment to coordinate with the friendly forces and break through in one go!"

  As the soldiers took orders and rushed to deliver them, Yan Wei watched him disappear into the night, sighing: "Among those who have lived until now, there is indeed this kid Huang Rang. It seems that being skilled is truly being skilled! War really doesn't favor the weak!"

  The early victories of the Communist army, apart from its extremely developed intelligence network that could do anything, were also due to another major reason - this kind of bravery and fearlessness that made all beings in the universe tremble with fear!

  The Communist army is not a legitimate national armed force, without legal numbers or government appointments, and cannot get military supplies or civilian support. Therefore, this seemingly reckless simple charge, combined with the devilish voice of the call to arms! For the undermanned and undersupplied Communist army, it is undoubtedly the most practical and reliable way of fighting!

  For Yan Wei's troops, who were currently surrounded by the Japanese army and were almost out of ammunition and food, this simple yet effective brave charge was really timely!

  The so-called Bushido spirit of the Yamato people is actually a joke! Anyone who has killed with their eyes red is a bushi! And the so-called Bushido spirit without real combat passion is just a layer of gorgeous decoration to wrap up a body that is extremely fearful and terrified at heart!

  The Japanese army is not afraid of death, but why do the kamikaze dare to take on a mission before injecting poison? Relying on the effect of morphine to make themselves look brave and fearless? There are no people who are not afraid of death. When two people who claim to be unafraid of death meet, they will see who is really more reluctant to live!

  You say you're an invader, always taking the upper hand in burning, killing and looting. What kind of national hatred do you have? What kind of fighting passion do you have? Is it the passion that was stimulated by being burned, killed and looted? What kind of martial spirit is this? This passion may be useful when facing unarmed civilians waiting to be slaughtered. But I don't believe it will be useful at all when facing a group of iron-blooded soldiers carrying their family's blood feud, national hatred, and the humiliation of 400 million Chinese compatriots!

  Those who have killed people's parents, done their wives and daughters, robbed their property, and destroyed their dignity, what inner hatred can they have, what combat passion can they have?! On the other hand, those people are already furious, baring their teeth, ready to tear them apart, swallow their flesh, gnaw their bones, drink their blood, and suck their marrow! Facing such an opponent, let alone the naturally disabled little radish heads, even if it were Wu Zhen Tian, they would have been terrified long ago!

  But we Chinese have always been a nation of etiquette and propriety, adhering to traditional doctrines and theoretical thoughts as principles. Otherwise, facing 400 million explosive beasts that burst into flames at the slightest touch, who can attack us, and who dares to fight?!

  The two troops were instantly mixed together, and the result was self-evident. Your weapons are not more advanced than ours, can't you even tell the difference between high and low with your teeth?! Haven't we seen toothpaste and toothpowder before, so biting into flesh is no match for you?! I'll strangle you to death, you little Japanese devil!

  Yan Wei seized the opportunity to stand up, raised his arm and shouted: "National Army soldiers, make precise shooting to cooperate with the Communist Army brothers in battle, and quickly eliminate the Japanese army's living forces to the greatest extent!"

  Yan Wei and Wu Han's troops were the pride of the party state, but they didn't have the familiarity with bayonet fighting like the Communist army did. Unlike Song Zheyuan's 29th Army in the Northwest, where every soldier had a large knife, Yan Wei and Wu Han's troops didn't even have bayonets equipped on their M1 Garand rifles! As for Wu Han, it was even more laughable - they had Mauser C96 pistols, but some soldiers hadn't even fired a few shots from a rifle!

  But at this moment, all the soldiers who heard Yan Wei's order quickly put away their rifles and submachine guns, and everyone held a Mauser C96 pistol and rushed up. They made precise shots one by one against the Japanese army that was entangled with Fu Da's troops in close combat! For a time, the sound of gunfire and people falling caused the fighting situation between the two sides to shift dramatically!

  Although Yan Wei and Wu Han's troops are now in a state of severe ammunition shortage and logistical difficulties, for a regular army combat unit, the so-called ammunition shortage refers to the lack of ammunition for its main combat weapons. A regular army has never considered pistols as a weapon for fighting against the enemy! Pistols are for self-defense. However, at this time, using them for close-range firing was just right for the Japanese soldiers who were about to be swallowed up by the Communist troops and had no time to spare.

  Bin Kawasaki Hirofumi, who was still unclear about what had happened to his northern camp due to the great distance, was shocked and lost color after receiving a report from his subordinates! In an instant, he seemed to understand what it meant to be an invading army and what it meant to be in a foreign land! Moreover, it was in China, where the cultural heritage is the deepest and the population is the largest on this earth. There were still many things he needed to understand here.

  "Immediately mobilize the outer troops around the airport to urgently reinforce northward. Must hold on to the surrounded enemy and the two Japanese reinforcements."

  After Hamasaki Hiroto finished giving the order, he himself didn't have confidence that he could annihilate his opponent completely. In fact, his true mission and ultimate goal had long been soaring in the night sky, ready to cross the border between Hubei and Sichuan at any moment!

  It seems that Hama-chan won't be the ultimate winner of this showdown after all.

  Hamasaki Hiroshi then, regardless of his identity as the highest commander in the army, personally led all troops outside the airport gate to charge into the airport, trying to turn the tide!

  In the chaos, the brothers of Chu Jiang gang also took advantage of the opportunity to rush into the Japanese army. The two armies set up a defensive position against each other, and these friends from the rivers and lakes were not good at this kind of thing, but using short guns and daggers to take lives was their specialty!

  At this time, the Japanese army's casualties continued to expand! The Japanese troops who were rapidly reinforced and ambushed around them also faced a chaotic battle under the dark night sky, and it was impossible for them to organize an attack on the spot! They had no choice but to reluctantly pull out their bayonets, stand up and join the bayonet fight that they even more unwillingly faced.

  It's all nonsense to say that the Japanese army was good at bayonet fighting during World War II, and that they were enthusiastic about close combat. There is no basis for this whatsoever!

  Let's not mention other countries for now, but when facing the Chinese army, which is not even well-equipped, why did the Japanese army abandon its strengths and flaunt its weaknesses? Why didn't they use their superior artillery and firearms to engage in a long-range regular battle, but instead used human bodies to take risks, hugging a rifle with a bayonet, to confront the Chinese people who were much taller and heavier than themselves in a primitive way? Isn't this going back to the ancient era of cold weapons?! Are there too many people dying?! Is that our Bushido?! Stop talking about it, or it will become the "Stupid Way"!

  Yan Wei could see that Fu Daojun was now fighting for their lives, as the former national army's greatest enemy, in a desperate and bitter struggle!

  This time it's really paid off!

  After the last battle, Fu Da-jun's troops had no time to replenish and recover. At this moment, they were forced to mobilize all their remaining forces! This can be seen from the fact that many Communist soldiers' heads, legs, and bodies are still wrapped with bandages of varying degrees. He wasn't just wounded and hastily bandaged, was he?

  If one must say that the national iron-blooded resistance war of Fu Zuoyi's army was a loss, then it was only a loss for our brave men who sacrificed their lives for the country! But what we gained is much greater! We gained a long-awaited victory in defending our nation! We gained true unity and cooperation between the KMT and CPC parties in resisting Japan! We gained hope for our nation, we gained the resurgence of our nation!
