Chapter 190: A Pyrrhic Victory
Hayao Yamazaki felt Tian Liuwa's contempt.
This annoyed him.
As a qualified commander, it is only a duty, not a nature, not to underestimate the enemy.
And deep down, Yamazaki looks down on the Chinese.
In his opinion, the Chinese are cowardly, incompetent, and groveling, and in order to survive, they can completely abandon their dignity.
Although these teenagers in front of him taught him a hard lesson with blood, he still couldn't believe that a Chinese man dared to look at a Japanese officer with contempt!
In his opinion, the people of China could only look at the Japanese with fear, which slowly turned into admiration, and finally surrendered.
Since they started this war, it is not without stubborn resistance.
Those soldiers had steadfastness and fearlessness in their eyes, but they never had contempt.
Because, they are the winners.
Although he lost this battle, it was on the premise that the other party had already prepared and paid a great price.
Even if it is a victory, it can only be a pyrrhic victory.
So, why did the young man in front of him dare to look at him with such contempt?
"Yaga!"
Yamazaki roared angrily, raised the saber in his hand and rushed towards Tian Liuwa, slashing head-on.
This knife used up almost all the remaining strength in Yamazaki's body, with an indomitable momentum and extreme anger in his heart.
The angle is tricky, and the momentum is heavy.
Many people think that this slash is just the most basic and simple form of attack in the knife technique, relying entirely on the strength of the arms and the inertia generated by the weight and speed of the blade.
But it's not.
There are many variations involved in this slash, from the angle of the knife to the changes that can occur when encountering a block.
Although Yamazaki's knife looks simple, once Tian Liuwa raises the rifle in his hand to block, Yamazaki can take advantage of the situation to step forward to the left or right, and pull the handle of the knife diagonally downward, and the blade will unceremoniously cut his stomach.
If he wants to block the blade with a left and right strike, then Yamazaki can take advantage of the situation to change his move.
As for dodging, it's simply impossible.
The saber is inherently long and has a large attack range; Coupled with Yamazaki's momentum, it was simply impossible to close a safe distance in the effective time.
Yamazaki had considered all of these possibilities before making a move, in order to split this Chinese boy who dared to look at him with contempt in half.
But it's a pity that he calculates the way normal people cope.
Tian Liuwa was trained by Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng was not a normal person in the first place.
He once told all the soldiers in the youth battalion more than once that in the struggle for life and death, in the face of the enemy's attack, they must not think about how to resolve it at the first time, but think about how to block it; Moreover, the shot must be fast, ruthless, and unexpected!
Regardless of whether it is a yin move or a damage move, as long as you can kill the enemy and save your life, it is a good move!
Tian Liuwa learned very well, and she was able to learn and apply it.
At the same time that Hayao Yamazaki took the first step, Tian Liuwa moved at the same time.
It's just that he doesn't move his body, but his toes.
The snow on the hillside had mixed with the sand below under the trampling of the horses, and it had completely lost the whiteness it had just had.
Tian Liuwa pricked her toes into the ground, and then suddenly raised her feet, and a cloud of sand and soil went straight to Yamazaki's front door.
Hayao Yamazaki didn't expect Tian Liuwa to come such a hand at all, so he could only close his eyes in a hurry, so as not to let the sand and soil enter his eyes.
But as soon as you close your eyes like this, the offensive will naturally stagnate for a moment.
Tian Liuwa wants this fraction of a second.
Grabbing the muzzle of the gun with both hands, he stepped forward to the left as he lowered his waist and slammed the gun towards Yamazaki's head with all his might.
The butt of the rifle in his hand had just been split when he smashed the horse's leg, and a wooden thorn about ten centimeters long was turned out.
Yamazaki heard the wind ringing in his ears and quickly opened his eyes, but it was too late.
At that time, the saber in his hand was only less than three inches away from Tian Liuwa's neck, but the butt of the rifle smashed into his head first.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and Yamazaki fell to the ground.
However, the saber in his hand still slashed at Tian Liuwa's shoulder, but the strength was too bad, and it only lifted a palm-sized piece of flesh on Tian Liuwa's shoulder.
Tian Liuwa gritted her teeth, looked at Yamazaki Hayao who had fallen to the ground and had fallen into a coma without saying a word, and spat in his face fiercely:
"Phew! What a fucking bushido! ”
Yamazaki's face was covered in blood, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and his body was convulsing violently.
The wooden thorn on the butt of the gun coincidentally pierced through Yamazaki's cheek and pierced his tongue through it.
Tian Liuwa leaned over and picked up the saber, raised it high, and cut off Yamazaki's head with a single sword.
At this time, the battle was also basically coming to an end.
A squad of cavalry, all dead on this hillside.
But the cost of the youth camp is also enormous.
Although they were twice as numerous as the enemy, their condescending presence on horses hindered the warriors' attacks.
Fifty-eight fighters were killed, and forty-three were wounded to varying degrees.
Compared to the enemy, the junior battalion sacrificed four more fighters than the Japanese army.
Tian Liuwa waved her hand silently, signaling the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
When examining the body of the fallen soldier, Tian Liuwa saw the soldier who had one of his arms cut off.
Someone retrieved his severed arm and tied it to his body with strips of cloth.
Tian Liuwa pretended to rub her eyes and wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
The soldier's name is Hu Dahai, he is 18 years old this year, and he joined the youth battalion when it was established.
Since his platoon had not participated in the previous battles, this was his first time on the battlefield.
But it was also the last time.
Tian Liuwa waved her hand lightly and ordered the body to be buried in a low voice.
Just as the two fighters lifted Hu Dahai's "corpse", the kid actually struggled and grabbed the neck of one of the fighters with his only remaining hand.
The person next to him was startled, then reacted, and quickly stepped forward to pull him away, telling him that the battle was over.
Hu Dahai has been in a coma for a long time, and he was completely subconscious just now, and he didn't wake up completely.
Tian Liuwa was also startled by him at first, but then turned her head and shouted loudly to Gan Ruyi, who was bandaging the wounds of the wounded, and asked him to give Hu Dahai a blood transfusion treatment first.
As for the dead Japanese soldiers, Tian Liuwa didn't let them feed the wolves on the mountain like this, and also let them dig a big pit and bury them collectively.
In Liu Cheng's words:
"Little devils can be inhumane, but we can't be like them, people die and the lights are extinguished, and the hatred is gone, except for those who are known to be extremely evil, the rest must be put into the ground for peace......"
