It was a starry night, and no one expected that something of that bad nature would happen on this night.

Fight!

Gather a crowd to fight!

It's a terrible nature, it's simply very bad.

Participating in the brawl were German Foreign Legionnaires from South Africa, numbering about 2,500 men; On the other side is the Imperial Japanese Army, known as the first army in Asia, with a number of about 6,000 people.

The brawl was around 12:30 a.m., and the whole process lasted about 1 hour.

The reason for the brawl is said to be that the two groups of people were going to each other's house to make trouble, and after encountering each other halfway, they fought on the spot.

At first, both sides had rifles with bayonets in their hands, but when the brawl began, everyone felt that the weapon was long and clumsy, which was not conducive to melee combat in the dark, so the legs and fists became the most effective weapons.

Many of the wounded Japanese soldiers insisted that it was a very unfair fight, because they were born with short hands, short legs, small fists and feet, which caused them a lot of losses in the course of the fight. The number of people who are only twice as large as the other side is too small, and they think that if they have more than ten times the number of the other side, the result will definitely not be the way it is now.

The African soldiers in the German commando admitted that they did have a tendency to abuse each other during the fight, but they only wanted to describe the whole brawl in one word: cool!

Looking at the soldier who was beaten, Miyamoto Shu first observed three minutes of silence. In this brawl, his soldiers behaved very bravely, although the opponent was extremely vicious, but from the beginning to the end, no Japanese chose to retreat, these people fully deserved the title of Yamato samurai.

In response, Lieutenant Colonel Ahrens harshly criticized his African soldiers, because they did not fight hard enough, did not play the momentum of the German army, and did not play the Olympic spirit.

All African soldiers involved in the brawl expressed acceptance of criticism.

The whole brawl started the night before.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the commanders of the two sides, Lieutenant Colonel Ahrens and Major General Miyamoto Hide, had mixed joys and sorrows. This light naturally provides a good line of sight for the operation troops, but this is also the same for the opposing sentry. However, now that the order had been given, they decided to maintain the original plan.

It was this decision that led to the brawl that followed.

At about 12 p.m., the units of both operations began to assemble.

Major General Miyamoto sent 18,000 daredevils from six divisions** to attack the German defense line from the northeast, due north and northwest, and the three assault teams were led by Kawaguchi Oyu Nakasa, Tanaka Kaminakasa, and Oshima Kanakasa. Involved in the brawl was Tanaka Kame's mid-lane action unit, and due to the distance, the people of Kawaguchi and Oshima did not join the brawl from beginning to end, and they were respected and praised by their opponents afterwards.

Lieutenant Colonel Ahrens sent 2,500 soldiers from two regiments of the German Foreign Legion "Black Storm" to raid the main Japanese camp due north, and this assault team was commanded by German Major Klaude. Actually, sending these Africans was the right choice, because they had the complete upper hand in the whole brawl. When these Africans were first recruited into the Foreign Legion, most of them looked skinny, and after two years of enjoying the same meals as ordinary German soldiers, they grew stronger and stronger, and with daily exercise, it was only fitting that they would participate in such brawls.

In the Japanese camp, Japanese soldiers with rifles and bayonets on their backs or carrying zha medicine bags were listening to the officers' lectures, and small shot glasses were placed on the front table. The soldiers took off their military caps, tied white turbans on their heads, and after drinking the send-off wine, they said goodbye to their comrades, and then set out silently on the journey.

It's a pity that it was a very wrong choice to take a zha kit to the brawl, and in the case of a scuffle between the two sides, this weapon simply has no room to play.

It can be said that the Japanese chose the wrong weapon from the beginning. If they were carrying folding chairs or maces, it might have been a different story.

Behind the German lines, African soldiers lined up in the clearing, and in the moonlight this unit seemed to be reduced to a set of gray uniforms and a pair of eyes, and no one doubted the superiority of their skin color in the dark night. If they were naked and with their eyes closed, perhaps no one would have been able to spot them from a hundred meters away. There was no extra language, and after the participants were concentrated, the Africans set off silently.

After leaving the camp, groups of Japanese soldiers walked silently down the country lanes, lined with dense woods on both sides, and owls whined, like dead souls complaining against the ruthless army. In retrospect, the Japanese soldiers thought that this was a bad omen, and that they should have turned around and gone back to sleep.

The corpses of the African soldiers, both German and Japanese, stiff and cold, were stiff and cold as they crossed the position, but the Africans tried not to disturb their rest. As a result of this very polite behavior, Africans were blessed during the brawl.

After the assault team left, the soldiers in the Japanese camp slept with their pillows and guns, ready to set off at any time to expand the gains created by the commando; The beams of searchlights on the German lines scanned back and forth in front of the positions, and the soldiers in charge of the night were all vigilantly watching ahead.

All this does not seem to be too favorable for the raiding forces on both sides. However, after the brawl, both the Africans and the Japanese returned to their respective stations, so the situation was not mentioned again.

There was only one hour between the Japanese camp and the German lines, and the speed of the march did not seem to differ much because of the length of the legs and the short legs, and the physical strength of both sides was not much exertional before the brawl, so there was strong contempt for the excuse that the Japanese soldiers were weakened in combat effectiveness due to fatigue from the march.

Three Japanese assault teams came to their starting positions for the daytime attack, where they were to make a short stop and observe. The starting position, consisting of a few simple trenches, was both the forward position of the Japanese army and their first line of cordon. Where tens of thousands of soldiers were once hidden during the day, only a handful of sentries now patrol the positions.

The section of the attack that Tanaka's assault team came to was the starting point of the attack, which was the place where the brawl took place.

Tanaka Kaminaka stood in the trench in what he thought was stylish, and he gestured his binoculars to scan the German line on the opposite side. Tanaka was a little apprehensive about the fact that it was almost impossible to get close to that line of defense without being detected by the moonlight and searchlights. Unbeknownst to him, just a few hundred meters in front of him, another group of people who had participated in the brawl, the German assault force, were preparing to touch the sentries on the Japanese positions and pass here.

Coincidentally, the routes of action of the two assault forces were tens of meters apart. Whoever is discovered first by the other party will be a disastrous thing.

As a result, disaster really happened.

After a few soldiers sent by Major Claude broke the necks of the Japanese sentry, they sent a signal backwards with a flashlight that the sentry had been successfully touched and the troops were advancing, and more than 2,000 African soldiers of the raiding unit advanced towards the Japanese position.

A few dozen meters next to the killed sentry, the unsuspecting Tanaka commandos just crawled out of the trench in the starting position. So, the African soldiers who went to touch the sentry looked at the large group of Japanese soldiers who emerged from the trenches in amazement, and the Japanese soldiers also found these black guys, as well as the Japanese sentries on the ground who had lost their breath.

In the moonlight, the Africans stared at the Japanese with big eyes, and the Japanese also looked at the black shadows in a daze.

The two sides were stunned for several seconds, and the main force of the Claude commandos also joined in this confrontation at the right time.

The confrontation was not due to the lack of identity of the other party, but rather the fact that both commanders were considering how to deal with such a close encounter. In fact, in order to prevent misfire, the bullets of the soldiers on both sides were not loaded, and the bright bayonet in front of the rifle made the choice for them.

By this time, the raids of both armies had been declared bankrupt.

At the same time, the brawl officially began.

After discovering that the opponent was the group of black gods during the day, the Japanese soldiers were worried, especially in this hazy moonlight, the African soldiers seemed to loom, the Japanese army could not identify their specific number, and the amount of yellow garbage was clear at a glance, and the Africans once again won a point because of their skin color. At such a distance, the retreating side will only be mercilessly shot in the back by the other side, and the Japanese will only bite the bullet.

The Africans' eyes stared at each other like ghost eyes hanging in the air, and the Japanese lost a lot of momentum from the beginning. Soon, the soldiers on both sides mingled very enthusiastically, and the bayonets reflecting the faint moonlight pierced into the human body from time to time, whether it was black or yellow skin, red blood gushed out of the breach, but in this light, no one cared about this anymore.

In this kind of melee in the dark of night, the power of fighting skills and squad tactics is greatly limited. As a result, the combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers in brawls has been greatly weakened. Most of them were beaten beyond recognition by the Africans' fists and big feet. Those who are able to return to the camp will probably not have the face to go back to see their families.

According to the recollection of Japanese soldier Koizumi Kamataro, he and another companion were confronted by a tall African soldier, who originally wanted to take advantage of their numerical advantage to encircle each other, but before their companion was kicked by the opponent, they were kicked away.

"That kick is really terrifying! I even heard the sound of Kobayashi's ribs breaking, and it was confirmed that the African kicked him and broke three of his ribs. I protest, I strongly protest, the legs of Africans are so powerful that they should be forbidden to use them in combat! ”

Koizumi actually cried as he spoke, "Later, I rushed forward without fear, but the African actually put his palm against my head. I waved my hands as hard as I could, but I couldn't even touch his body. I think this action of the other party is too insulting, and I ask the other party to apologize to me! Shine my shoes! Bring me the toilet! Also, after that guy pushed me to the dao, he actually stepped on my ...... Step on that baby of mine! Our Koizumi family is the last one, woo woo! ”

Later, the do-gooders found the African soldier who had abolished Koizumi. But that guy had an honest face, and he was not as hideous as Koizumi described.

"That day, I saw two Japanese soldiers pounce on me, so I flew a kick, and the result was like a kick on top of an empty box, and the Japanese flew out at once, I swear, I definitely didn't expect the Japanese to be so weak! At this time, I noticed that my shoelaces seemed to be loose, and I wanted to tie them first, but another Japanese man insisted on sticking them, so I put one hand against his head and one hand tied the shoelaces on my feet! ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the Africans performed a one-handed shoelace tie on the spot, which drew a round of applause.

"After tying my shoes, I pushed the Japanese man away and prepared to have a good fight with him, but he fell to the ground in an instant. Seeing him so pitiful, I wanted to let him go, but I didn't know who hit me in the back, but I stumbled and stepped on it. The Japanese were a little soft, it felt like stepping on an egg, and I seemed to hear a snap. Then the Japanese cowered on the ground and moved like a caterpillar, and I walked away as soon as I ignored him! ”

After receiving the news of what had happened to the two assaulting forces, Lieutenant Colonel Ahrens sent his troops to meet them and ordered all the soldiers to be on higher alert. However, by the time the receiving troops arrived at the scene of the incident, the Africans had already knocked twice their size Japanese soldiers to the ground, and most of the Japanese were curled up on the ground and groaning in pain.

On the other hand, Miyamoto also ordered the cancellation of the other two assault forces, and sent another receiving force, which arrived there for a brief exchange of fire with the Germans, but both sides soon disengaged separately.

During the entire brawl, more than 1,500 members of the Tanaka commando were beaten to death, and the remaining 4,000 or so were all injured to varying degrees, while more than 100 soldiers of the Claude commando were killed and 1,200 were injured, but many of the wounded were scratched by the Japanese.

Although the entire brawl lasted only one hour, the impact on the two armies was very great. Miyamoto Shu stopped the offensive for the next two days, forced his soldiers to train more, and at the same time asked other Japanese troops stationed throughout Shandong to come and reinforce them, actively preparing to defeat their opponents in the next brawl; Lieutenant Colonel Ahrens took advantage of the break to hold a simple award ceremony to reward African soldiers who had distinguished themselves in the brawls.
