"Charge!" The Japanese soldiers shouted as they ran forward, their commanders leading the way with swords drawn. The cries startled Tianhu. He quietly raised his head to look through the smoke and saw the Japanese devils rushing towards them like fugitives, risking being blown up by their own artillery. "Communications officer!" "Yes!" "The enemy has changed tactics. Tell the snipers to take out the commanders at 150 meters." "Not 50 meters?" "150 meters! Pass on the order," Tianhu emphasized. "And tell the others to open fire as soon as the enemy enters the 100-meter range, without waiting for my signal." "Yes." The communications officer understood and rushed off to pass on the orders. The Japanese commanders didn't expect Tianhu to change tactics again. They shouted wildly, waving their swords, but only charged a few dozen meters before hearing sparse gunfire. Three of the commanders fell to the ground. The remaining commanders were stunned for a moment, then continued to charge forward, led by Lieutenant Colonel Yamada. Yamada gripped his sword with both hands, eyes wide open, but expressionless. The other commanders didn't dare hesitate and followed him, leading three squads in a charge. Again, sparse gunfire rang out, and the Japanese soldiers fell one after another. The commanders were frightened but didn't dare retreat, only shouting "Charge!" in a smaller voice as they continued forward, crouching down to avoid being hit. Gunfire erupted again, each shot hitting a Japanese soldier. The Japanese couldn't see where the Chinese were hiding. Another commander fell, and the Japanese entered the 100-meter range. Tianhu took aim at the last commander. All the Chinese soldiers found their targets and opened fire simultaneously. The sound of gunfire became intense, and the Japanese soldiers fell like trees in the wind. Tianhu finally pulled the trigger, hitting the last commander's head with a single shot. The Japanese soldiers were leaderless, unsure whether to advance or retreat. "Drumbeat charge!" Tianhu ordered the communications officer. Drums beat loudly as the Chinese soldiers emerged from their trenches and charged towards the Japanese like arrows. The Japanese, despite being well-trained, had lost their commanders and were intimidated by Tianhu's unorthodox tactics. They retreated in disarray, fleeing to Lieutenant Colonel Yamada's side. Even Yamada couldn't stop them. Tianhu wisely recalled his troops, knowing that although they had taken out three squads, the Japanese still had a strong force under Yamada's command. If they strayed too far from their positions, they risked being counter-encircled by the Japanese.
