This guy is very calm, even if Li Ziyuan's words are unbearable for ordinary people. But he not only endured it, but also provoked Li Ziyuan here and accepted his request for a one-on-one duel. This guy gives Li Ziyuan the feeling that he is not like an ordinary Japanese soldier, but is full of businessman speculation.

It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't pay attention to this guy's teasing at all. After whispering to the fighters around him, get ready for grenades. But he raised his head and looked at the arrogant guy in front of him, and said with a cold smile: "If I guessed correctly, this guy of yours is not only from a kendo family, but also from a merchant family." ”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been here until now. But unfortunately, these lips and tongues you are selling have no effect on me at all. I'm not interested in this deal of yours at all. Of the two teams of you and me, only one of them can continue to stand here. Other than that, there will be no second outcome between us. ”

When Li Ziyuan's words fell, this guy was a little smug: "The contemptible family is indeed a famous businessman in the Japanese Empire. After all, maintaining a kendo family also requires a lot of money. However, whether I come from a merchant family or not does not mean that I cannot be a good soldier. ”

"Come on, you and I will fight to the death. Let you see, what is a real military man. Background does not mean ability, Your Excellency is born with mud legs, at least in terms of today's performance, he is still a relatively good soldier. Between you and me, who are both good soldiers, we should compete to see who is the best soldier here. ”

For this guy who is still a dead duck with a hard mouth, Li Ziyuan didn't give any answer at all this time. The fast and slow machine in his hand didn't do any aiming at all, and he raised his hand to shoot a shot, and directly opened a skylight for the steel helmet on the top of this guy's head, and then said: "A mentally retarded fool, I will talk to you about conditions at this time, you are really fucking my second." ”

Kill this guy, Li Ziyuan after dodging a few bullets from the Japanese who shot on his side. Take advantage of the situation to flatten the fast and slow machine in your hand, and you will see that the supreme commander is killed, and the Japanese troops who want to rush over will directly sweep over. At the same time, he shouted to the soldiers around him: "Greet Lao Tzu with a grenade, whoever lets go of a devil Lao Tzu will kill him." ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's order, except for a few machine gunners who had already set up machine guns, they immediately blocked the Japanese counterattack with fire at the same time as the guns rang out. All the rest of the fighters hurriedly took out their grenades, and after pulling the safe, they paused for two numbers and threw the grenades in their hands on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

After the grenade was pulled, it was thrown after a pause of two numbers, which was repeatedly instilled in them by Li Ziyuan after he took over the team. So in this battle, the fighters, who had become accustomed after repeated indoctrination, paused for two seconds before throwing the grenade.

This approach is also in line with the current distance between the two armies, which is only a few tens of meters. If you throw it too early, it can easily be picked up by the Japanese and thrown back. The most critical thing is that the grenade that explodes in the air is obviously much more lethal and the killing range is much greater than the grenade that explodes after landing.

When the dense sound of grenade explosions fell, the Japanese positions that were compressed into a corner were compressed, and few people were still able to stand up. Seeing this situation, Li Ziyuan inserted the fast and slow machine that had already run out of magazines in his hand back into the belt on his waist, took a light machine gun from the hands of the soldiers around him, and directly emptied all the magazines.

After running out of bullets in the magazine, Li Ziyuan, who was still a little unwilling, replaced the fast and slow machine in his hand with the last magazine, and rushed into the Japanese position. The fast and slow machine in his hand kept knocking, knocking down the wounded Japanese soldiers who saw Li Ziyuan rushing over and were still struggling to make a final fight.

Li Ziyuan rushed into the Japanese position, and the fast and slow machine in his hand kept knocking. The soldiers around him also rushed over, picked up the rifles in their hands and stabbed the bayonets into the chests of the recalcitrant anti-Japanese soldiers. After another burst of gunfire, there was no Japanese soldier on the position who could still stand up.

Li Ziyuan, who completely solved this Japanese army, could no longer control his exhaustion and sat on the ground. At this moment, he felt that all the strength in his body had been exhausted. But despite feeling extremely tired, Li Ziyuan struggled to stand up when he saw Guo Xiaoshan's body at the foot of the mountain.

After turning his head and asking Zhang Zijian to clean up the battlefield immediately, he ignored Liu Lianming, who wanted to support him, and He Huizhang, who didn't know when he would meet Liu Lianming. walked to the side of Guo Xiaoshan's body at the bottom of the mountain, hugged Guo Xiaoshan, who was already stiff at this time, in his arms, and never let go of his hand.

Li Ziyuan just quietly hugged Guo Xiaoshan's corpse, and Guo Xiaoshan's feelings for Li Ziyuan have always been in his eyes, and Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang, who also know more about Li Ziyuan's stubborn character in his bones, want to persuade but don't know where to persuade him.

Both of them are half-intellectuals, and they understand this kind of emotional thing. We all know this kind of knot, and no one can open it except for coming out of it by themselves. Both of them are also lamenting that fate is really unfair sometimes.

Guo Laosan has only sacrificed for more than half a year, and now Guo Xiaoshan has also sacrificed. However, Li Ziyuan is also a person who attaches great importance to friendship, and his feelings for Guo Laosan's father and daughter are not ordinary. Even if he doesn't have that feeling for Guo Xiaoshan, he treats Guo Xiaoshan as his own sister.

After a long while, He Sanliang swallowed his saliva and said: "Battalion commander, people can't be resurrected after death, and you shouldn't be too sad." Now the reinforcements of the Japanese army are rushing here, and it is far from the time of sadness. Shall we bury Xiaoshan and other sacrificed comrades first? Also, you are a military commander, and this appearance makes the troops see that it is not good. ”

Regarding He Sanliang's words of persuasion, Li Ziyuan, who held Guo Xiaoshan's corpse and did not let go, acted as if he had not heard it. Although Li Ziyuan didn't cry, He Sanliang knew that Li Ziyuan was suppressing the emotions in his heart, which was not a good thing.

It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't seem to hear what he persuaded him, which made He Sanliang and Ma Yongcheng look at each other, and they both felt a little helpless. Ma Yongcheng hesitated for a moment and left He Sanliang to continue to persuade. He went to arrange for the burial of the other fallen soldiers, as well as the immediate transfer of the wounded to the back.

For this team of recruits, this battle is equivalent to rolling in purgatory. This Japanese army is extremely well-equipped and quite strong in combat. Although it was not able to escape in the end, a battle that did not last long left the battalion with more than half of the casualties.

A force consisting mainly of recruits, even if it is tightly organized. But to let a group of recruits face such an opponent, there is no doubt that they will take the eggs and smash them hard against the stones. If the old troops suffered nearly half of the casualties, they could barely collapse. A new army composed of new recruits, with more than a third of the casualties and not yet collapsed, can even be described as a miracle.

Of course, more than half of the casualties of this battalion have not yet collapsed, and it is impossible to describe it with the word lucky. In addition to the strict organization of the Eighth Route Army itself, the leading role of cadres at all levels also played a great role. It can even be said that Li Ziyuan and Zhang Zijian, several battalion-level cadres, have been fighting at the forefront and played the most decisive role.

Whether or not the troops can withstand at a critical moment on the battlefield and whether they can rise to the top at a critical moment cannot be resolved by relying on one or two slogans. As the supreme military commander, Li Ziyuan has always been at the forefront of this wordless move that everyone can see. It is the Dinghai Shenshen Needle that stabilizes the morale of the army under the condition that the casualties are not light.

It's just that the conditions for victory on the battlefield are not determined simply by who is brave. Whether or not the military qualities of the officers and soldiers participating in the battle on both sides can give full play to the performance of their weapons and equipment is the prerequisite for a decisive victory. Especially in the face of the Japanese army, which has strict training and a fairly high foundation of military literacy, it cannot be determined by numbers and courage alone.

After a fierce battle of only two hours, it faced a Japanese army of only one hundred and twenty men, a third of whom could only rely on pistols. This new battalion, although it did not collapse, suffered huge casualties. Especially under the extremely accurate marksmanship of the Japanese army, cadres at all levels suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for Liu Lianming and He Huizhang, after meeting up, he touched up from behind the Japanese position. If it weren't for the team led by Liu Lianming, Li Ziyuan had trained hard. When the guards behind the Japanese army were cleared, they did not alarm the large Japanese troops who were fighting head-on.

After infiltrating the Japanese position, he disrupted the Japanese army's position in a short period of time, giving Li Ziyuan a considerable amount of time to fight a close war. Coupled with the rigidity of the Japanese army's tactics, it was not able to give full play to the power of the 100-style submachine gun. In the face of the Eighth Route Army, which was pressed up, he actually thought of using submachine guns to fight bayonets. So in this battle, it is really not certain who will die in the end.

The more than a dozen Southern-style submachine guns alone, the extremely high shooting accuracy similar to rifle shooting, and the well-trained and solid shooting skills of Japanese shooters can give full play to the performance of rifles. In addition to the three light machine guns, and the combat quality of this Japanese army even exceeds the quality of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

It was enough for Li Ziyuan's remaining soldiers to all suffer casualties and embers when they charged. In addition to their own bravery, the Japanese army clings to traditional concepts, and even some brainless tactics, as well as the equipment and neatness of firepower, which is another condition for victory.

It's just that the heavy casualties made this battle, although it ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army, but it was not even a miserable victory for this battalion. From that side of the skirmish line to the slopes of the final battle, there were corpses and wounded of sacrificed fighters everywhere.

This casualty figure is indeed a bit too cruel for a new battalion. There are some things that Li Ziyuan can not think about, but the instructors of this independent battalion are not yet in place. As the current chief political officer of this army, Ma Yongcheng can't help but go.

Fortunately, the gunfire here also alarmed the headquarters on the other side of the mountain. In the midst of the fighting, the headquarters that received the report mobilized a group of migrant workers in several nearby villages. After the fighting, a pro-democracy officer from the Department of Political Affairs led the charge. The wounded were rescued and the bodies were buried.

Over there, Ma Yongcheng led people and was busy burying the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers and rescuing the wounded. Li Ziyuan, who was holding Guo Xiaoshan and not letting go, was as if he didn't see the migrant workers and soldiers coming and going around him. Until a figure stood in front of him and said softly: "Let the martyrs be buried in peace." ”
