Chapter 2: Killing the Devil's Child

  Kill the devils? Gao Quan nodded vaguely. Just now, he used too much force and the wooden stock of the rifle in his hand was split, Gao Quan grasped the middle part of the rifle, and the back grip was pinching his hand.

  Another devil rushed over, Gao Quan waved his half rifle and fought with the devil for two rounds. Suddenly, he kicked the devil's chest with his foot, and the little devil fell out far away like a cut wood stump, "plop" sound.

  Gao Quan was hesitating, wondering if he should go over and give that guy a finishing blow like Wang Dazhu just did. On the other side, a soldier in blue clothes was stumbling backward, tripped over the Japanese devil that Gao Quan had hit earlier, and the big knife in his hand "clanged" to the side. This warrior never got up again. Gao Quan was still looking for a suitable weapon, and when he saw this big knife, his eyes lit up. He took two strides over, first stepping on the Japanese devil's neck with one foot, making sure he wouldn't get up all night, then bent down to pick up the knife.

  The steel knife felt heavy and cold in his hand, with only a hint of warmth remaining on the handle. The blade was stained with large patches of blood that had not yet dried, and the smell of blood filled his nostrils. It was clear that this warrior had just used this very knife to kill devils moments before. Gao Wu grasped the knife tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings as his mind quickly calmed down. It seemed he had indeed crossed over, just like in those countless online stories! As a young person, it was inevitable that he would watch some internet shows, and yet those absurd crossover dramas had actually happened to him. Looking around again, these people were clearly fighting against devils, and he had somehow ended up in the midst of the War of Resistance, transported to the battlefield itself! Well, since that's the case, then he might as well indulge his desire to kill some devils!

  Gao Quan, as an outstanding officer among scouts, had studied countless war histories and examples. Among them, the famous battles during the War of Resistance Against Japan were definitely a must-learn course, and it was inevitable to come into contact with the extremely unpleasant event of the Nanjing Massacre. Every time he thought about this history, Gao Quan's heart felt suffocated, deeply hating that he wasn't born in that era, unable to personally take down a few devils. Now that he had confirmed he really had arrived in this era, apart from his initial shock, after coming back to his senses, it was a burst of wild joy! As a soldier in peacetime, no matter how skilled one's martial arts were, there was always a feeling of being useless. Now that he had returned to the era of war, returned to the era of resistance against Japan, he could reasonably and lawfully fight for his country, could go and slaughter those little devils! As an excellent soldier, at this moment, his body trembled with excitement.

  "Ah!" A loud shout awakened Gao Quan from his extreme excitement, and he looked up to see Wang Dazhu surrounded by three devils in the middle, using the big knife in his hand to resist left and right, a bit flustered. The shout just now was made by Wang Dazhu, and it's unknown whether this cool brother was injured or not.

  Gao Quan drew his big knife and charged forward. He kicked one of the devils out with a straight kick; he slashed another devil to the ground with a slanting slash; he dodged the incoming bayonet with a twist of his waist, and struck the enemy's face with an elbow strike, neatly rescuing Wang Dazhu from the encirclement.

  This time Wang Dazhu didn't boast about him, the two of them exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and charged into the crowd with their swords.

  It can be seen that most of the soldiers in the Second Division have two skills, and the big knives in their hands can dance out two tricks. The short guns in their hands also help from time to time, causing no small casualties to the devils. Gao Quan's joining made Wang Dazhu fight more smoothly, as long as he was surrounded by a few devils, Gao Quan would definitely come to his aid in the shortest possible time. And if Gao Quan had any oversight, Wang Dazhu would also come to assist, and the two men worked together in perfect harmony.

  Gao Quan became more and more excited as he fought, shouting "Kill!" and the head of an enemy soldier flew into the air. A cold wind blew from behind him, and Gao Quan dodged to the side just in time, as a gunshot rang out. An enemy soldier rushed forward from behind, holding his gun and running diagonally for two steps before falling to the ground with a thud. Wang Dazhu inserted his pistol into his waistband, drew his large knife, and continued fighting the enemy soldiers.

  Koichi counted the number, that was the sixth one just now. It's just that when I cut it down, I got too close and the enemy's blood splashed all over my head and face. I wiped my face with my sleeve, and when I looked down again, my whole body had been stained red with fresh blood. This is good, at least you can't see the color of your clothes, as long as you hold a big knife in your hand to show that you are not an enemy.

  What a thrill! Exhilarating! I feel like I have endless energy, my mind is crystal clear, and every detail of my movements is under my absolute control. My tactical actions are executed to perfection, each move, each style, brings out the best in me. It seems that this battlefield for killing demons is indeed suitable for me!

  Soldiers in blue uniforms from the 29th Army kept running past, and the devils were also desperately counterattacking. In the intervals of battle, Gao Quan could still discover that these devils were clearly not in good condition. According to historical records, the devils' hand-to-hand combat ability was excellent, and our side generally had no advantage. That this battle could be fought to this point, apart from the fact that the big knives in the hands of the 29th Army soldiers had gained an advantage, probably meant that this battle was a surprise attack? The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was much less, and there was no sound of artillery fire. The devils' weapon advantage had not been brought into play at all, which is why it now seemed that the soldiers of the 29th Army were gaining the upper hand.

  A team of five or six warriors, in a small combat unit, charged back and forth among the enemy troops, slowly closing in on Gao Quan and Wang Dazhu's position.

  "Big pillar!" One of the five or six people suddenly shouted loudly in this direction.

  "Company commander!" Wang Dazhu blocked the bayonet of the enemy soldier and shouted towards that direction. A nearby enemy soldier who was fighting with Gao Quan suddenly found out that Wang Dazhu was distracted, and swiftly turned around, changing the direction of his bayonet to stab towards Wang Dazhu.

  Gao Quan cut the devil in two from behind with a single knife, but the devil's bayonet still scratched Wang Dazhu's arm.

  "Big pillar, how are you?" The battalion commander came over and grabbed Wang Dazhu's arm. Wang Dazhu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm thick-skinned and strong, it's nothing." Looking at the way he spoke, it seemed like nothing was wrong. The battalion commander didn't care about that much, reached into his pocket and pulled out a strip of gauze to bandage Wang Dazhu with.

  "Big pillar, this brother looks unfamiliar, who is it?" In the gap of packing, the camp leader asked Wang Dazhu. Although Gao Quan was also covered in blood all over his body, this set of clothes could still be distinguished as the uniform of the 29th Army.

  "This is what I met on the battlefield. He killed a lot of devils with me, and his skills are very fierce. I've talked to him, let him join our 29th Army. Battalion commander, just let him be in our battalion." Wang Dazhu didn't consider the wound on his arm, but first spoke well for Gao Quan.

  "I am Wang Hechun, the regiment commander of the 29th Army's temporary second division. What should I call you, brother?" After introducing himself, Commander Wang immediately began to ask about Gao Quan's situation.

  "My name is Gao Quan." Gao Quan didn't plan to elaborate on his situation, nor could he explain it clearly. Since they were on the battlefield, they might as well go all out and kill the devils; there was nothing else to say about it.

  "Alright, be careful on the battlefield and follow me." Wang Hechun still showed concern for the new recruit like an old soldier would.
