Chapter 9: End of Battle

  The fierce battle within the village is still ongoing, and these female soldiers are performing no worse than their male counterparts.

  Whether in shooting or various tactical coordination, it performed quite well.

  Inoue Daichi was quite surprised. Before, he didn't believe female soldiers would have such combat power, but everything before his eyes made him extremely astonished.

  "Sister, these Japanese soldiers are entrenched in the fortifications and are hard to attack." Chen Qiao had already run over, her military uniform covered with dust.

  Zhou Yulan looked at the Japanese fortifications in the village and frowned.

  In the past, it was always the devils who came to attack them, and with the assistance of the local people, they were naturally very handy.

  The current proactive offense has made them somewhat unaccustomed.

  Moreover, the Japanese army was firmly entrenched in their fortifications and could not be approached at all.

  Yang Junran, who was far away, had led two companies of troops back here again. Seeing the female soldiers being blocked outside the village, he was somewhat puzzled.

  According to Yang Junran's judgment, these female soldiers can at least enter the village. Now it seems that their combat effectiveness is not good either.

  "Right away, organize the troops to launch an attack." Yang Junran held a Type 81 rifle and shouted loudly.

  The troops quickly began attacking towards the village, and looking at the female soldier in the distance, Yang Junran could be said to have regained a bit of face.

  But things didn't go as smoothly as Yang Junran had thought, and even left him speechless.

  A column of troops carrying rifles unfolded an attack in the village in an attacking formation.

  The light machine guns inside the Japanese fortifications formed a crossfire network, striking the attacking soldiers.

  The warriors' light machine guns had not yet been set up when they were hit by rocket-propelled grenades.

  Yang Junran seems to have forgotten one thing, this is the early days of the War of Resistance, and the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

  Watching his subordinates retreat in defeat, Yang Junran wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

  Zhou Yulan from afar had already run over, her speed was extremely swift.

  "Commander Yang, you can't just charge in recklessly like this, it's easy to cause too many casualties. I've already ordered the artillery behind us to fire at a lower angle, I believe that will be more effective." Zhou Yulan stopped beside Yang Junran and said softly.

  Yang Junran nodded awkwardly, looking down in embarrassment.

  The eight 75mm infantry guns from Bofors have been transported over, and their own machine gun company has also arrived.

  Zhou Yulan walked up to the artilleryman and whispered a few words in his ear.

  The artillerymen began to bustle about, aiming their muzzles at the houses in the village.

  With the deafening sound of infantry guns, several houses that had just been shot at all collapsed.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity, the female soldiers rushed over quickly.

  Yang Junran didn't have time to admire the marksmanship of these female soldiers and hastily gave the order to charge.

  This time two connected warriors, led by Yang Junran and Fang Hanqin respectively, charged forward into the village.

  To suppress the possible firepower of the Japanese army, Yang Junran had already sent someone to inform the machine gun company that they must do their best to cover the charge of the troops.

  Inoue Daichi watched as several of his construction sites were destroyed and hastily ordered the heavy machine guns to open fire.

  Machine guns hidden in the village's commanding heights fired simultaneously, tongues of flame shooting out towards the charging troops, spewing forth deadly bullets.

  Several female soldiers did not anticipate the heavy machine gun on the high ground and were immediately shot in the body.

  Yang Junran saw the female soldier get hurt but didn't cry out in pain, and was extremely surprised.

  He didn't expect these women to have such perseverance, which is not something ordinary people can possess.

  Several mortar shells have been fired over, and the high ground on top of the house has been blown down by artillery.

  The Japanese heavy machine guns had no chance of firing and fell together under the houses.

  More than a hundred devils with bayonets charged over, Yang Junran yelled on horseback: "Light machine gun, fire!"

  Three light machine guns fired rapidly, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in groups.

  "Stop interfering with our battle!" Chen Qiaoru shouted loudly from the side.

  The female soldiers have already begun preparing for close combat, which surprised Yang Junran even more.

  Not to mention this group of women, even the elite troops of the National Army would be at a disadvantage when fighting against the Japanese army with bayonets.

  However, Yang Junran soon discovered that most of these women were holding big knives, and only a small number of women held rifles, lined up waiting for the arrival of the Japanese soldiers.

  The female soldiers have already engaged in close combat with the Japanese army. What's strange is that the Japanese army seems to be extremely afraid of the knife-wielding skills of the female soldiers.

  "29 Army's Big Knife Method!" The company commander shouted out loud beside him.

  Yang Junran was quite familiar with the history of the 29th Army's big knife.

  As the 29th Army from the Northwest Army, they were quite good at white-blade warfare.

  Especially the warriors' big knives, specially killed the Japanese army's bayonet.

  During the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Japanese army was so frightened that they lost their courage at the mere mention of it.

  As the main force of the 29th Army, the 38th Division was once stationed here. According to Chen Qiaoru's words, they also had connections with Zhang Zizhong, the division commander of the 38th Division, which is not surprising that they have such knife skills.

  The vanguard has already clashed with the Japanese army, but our troops don't have big swords.

  One by one, the warriors died under the Japanese bayonets, which made Yang Junran extremely displeased.

  Unconsciously touching the revolver at his waist, Yang Junran quickly shouted loudly: "Use a handgun to end the battle."

  Some officers wearing sidearms quickly drew their revolvers or Colt pistols and fired at the Japanese soldiers.

  Zhou Yulan had led the rest of the troops over, and Zhou Yulan was actually holding a long sword in her hand.

  At this moment, Inoue Daichi was very puzzled and didn't know where a group of National Army troops suddenly appeared, but in any case, Inoue Daichi had no intention of retreating.

  With his last squadron, Inoue Daichi began to throw himself into battle.

  Zhou Yulan's long sword was extremely fierce, and the Japanese soldiers kept dying under her sword. Although Yang Junran didn't know what kind of swordsmanship it was, he knew that this woman was not simple.

  The petite figure continued to wander among the Japanese army, with the long sword in hand already starting to drip red blood.

  Yang Junran held his own shotgun and continuously fired at the approaching Japanese army.

  The female soldier's combat power seemed to be very strong, and the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides actually gave the female soldier's big knife an advantage.

  Some powerful female soldiers were even able to behead Japanese soldiers, which made Yang Junran feel a sense of awe.

  They seemed not to be afraid of death and even actively sought out the Japanese army's slaughter.

  Yang Junran's shotgun has run out of bullets, and this commander is not very good.

  Ever since joining the battle, his eyes have never left those female soldiers.

  It's not that Yang Junran is a lecher, but for such a team, anyone would have some curiosity.

  The warriors on the side were a bit embarrassed, their combat power was not as good as those women. Some officers gave up their pistols and fought with rifles after seeing the female soldiers' fierce battle.

  Inoue Daichi looked at his subordinate beside him, who was getting smaller and smaller.

  He had participated in the Great Wall War, and at that time he was just a company commander. When he thought of his men's heads scattered all over the ground back then, Inoue couldn't help but shudder.

  It is said that Amaterasu ōmikami, whom the Japanese army worships, does not accept beheaded ghosts.

  Inoue Daichi had some regrets, if he had known earlier, he should have informed his comrades around him, at least there would be some support, but Inoue Daichi, who was greedy for merit, did not want to share the credit with others, and ended up in this situation.

  The Japanese army was getting smaller and smaller, but the female soldiers were not polite at all. For some wounded Japanese soldiers, these female soldiers directly solved them with a knife.

  "Commander, there aren't many Japanese troops left, shall we also go and join in the fun?" a company commander ran over to say to Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran took a look at the Japanese army in the distance, he knew that these Japanese soldiers would basically have no way out.

  "You quickly sounded the alarm in all directions, ordering the second battalion to quickly sweep the battlefield, and then directly attack the county town. Judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be too many Japanese troops inside the county town. Hurry up and send someone back to let Long Yan and Jin Mingcheng lead their troops to transport goods here. There are so many things that can't be left behind." Yang Junran was extremely excited, seemingly forgetting that there were other friendly forces here, and their officers' ranks were even higher than his.

  The battle in front has been settled, and at this moment, Inoue Daichi has become a corpse.

  Three companies of Japanese devils have been completely annihilated, which makes Yang Junran extremely admire these female soldiers.

  "Commander Yang, we need to retreat immediately. As for these things, you can collect them if you want. We have to hurry back to rescue the wounded." Zhou Yulan looked extremely tired and forced herself to speak to Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran looked at the female soldiers around him and couldn't bear to let them follow him to attack the county town.

  "You go ahead, we'll take care of things here." Yang Junran said with a smile as he looked at Zhou Yulan.

  Zhou Yulan nodded and led her troops in retreat.

  "Have Sanlian bring those people over, find some shorter soldiers to wear the Japanese military uniforms, and have the others wear the Mongolian army uniforms. Leave one platoon to guard the prisoners of war, and the rest will immediately follow me to attack the county town." Yang Junran gave orders as soon as Fang Hanchen came over.

  Fang Hanchen was indeed startled by Yang Junran's actions, but he had never thought that Yang Junran would take such actions.

  After this incident, Fang Hanqin no longer had any suspicions about Yang Junran.

  For Yang Junran's orders, Fang Hanqin also unconditionally executed them.

  The whole troop was busy in the village, changing clothes and preparing to attack the county town not far away.

  The villagers came out, looking at the Japanese soldiers all over the ground, but they became worried. They were afraid that the devils would take revenge on themselves, especially since so many Japanese officers and men had died.
