On a winter night in early 1884, the west wind was fierce and chilly.

At the foot of Tiger Mountain, an infantry brigade under the Japanese Third Division, commanded by Sakai Kojiro Osa, Fuji Tsuyoshi Nakasa, and Otomo Hironobu Nakasa, rushed to Tiger Mountain in three directions.

Among them, the main attack in the middle was a whole wing led by Kojiro Sakai. Sakai himself was a samurai by training, and after the Restoration, he joined the Meiji Imperial Forest Army, which was founded in 1872, but he always maintained his samurai tradition, with a white cloth wrapped around his head that had been used for martial arts for a long time.

The so-called martial arts originated in the Warring States period of Japan, and the death or survival of samurai duels was often attributed to "martial arts". The Meiji Restoration abolished the sword order and put an end to the samurai class, but samurai culture remained at the heart of the Japanese military's ideology.

Sakai Kojiro is a typical samurai, with an ugly face, a pair of goldfish eyes, a stout and short man, a pair of looped legs, arrogant, barbaric and rude, cruel and bloodthirsty, and a mouth full of "Shina stupid pigs". Fighting all the way from the landing in Korea, there was no chance to kill a single Guard, but many Korean civilians were killed, and they were all beheaded with samurai swords, in order to maintain their "bushido heroism".

He led his soldiers to rush upward, and soon he was only a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, and there was still no movement. He told the officer behind him quite complacently: "The martial arts of the Great Japanese Imperial Army are world-famous, and the pig has long been so frightened that it has rolled to a hundred miles away." ”

Suzuki Junxiong Nakasa, who was next to him, patted his ass: "Yes, Sakai-kun's sword, I'm afraid that I won't be able to show my edge until Beijing." ”

The Japanese soldiers also talked a lot, feeling that they were going to be bloodless, and at this time, the Chinese hiding behind the breastwork could even hear the enemy's whispers, although they could not understand it, but they were undoubtedly expressing excitement and joy.

Seeing that the distance was only more than 30 meters, Dong Fuxiang shouted fiercely: "Dog mongrel! Grandpa is waiting for you! He pulled the trigger, and with a crisp revolver, one of the Japanese soldiers rolled down the hill with his face covered.

Almost at the same time, the Guards fired a volley of guns, the machine guns also shouted, and the whole hill suddenly set off like a calm steppe and swept mercilessly across the enemy.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed in front, dead and wounded, rolling, crawling, you touch me, I push you, rolling down like a stone from a cliff. Then the various artillery batteries behind the breastwork were also fired, and the shells whistled in the night sky, drawing a terrifying arc, bombarding the Japanese troops in the chaos, and each explosion was accompanied by the smoke and dust flying some arms and thighs.

The first wave of attacks caused hundreds of Japanese casualties, and the troops were repulsed more than 200 meters away, so they could only lie down on the slope, relying on the bumps of the hillside as cover. And Fuji Tsuyo, who commanded the left flank, was even more bombed by a machine gun in his chest, and fell to the snow with his eyes wide open.

Kajiro Sakai was also grazed in the leg, leaving a deep blood groove. He was half-on his knees, holding a katana in his right hand, gritting his teeth, glaring angrily at the top of the mountain, and even his eyes were about to bulge.

Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and his illusions of seizing the position in one fell swoop were shattered, he would not think that the Chinese army should defend the country, but he just felt that it was too hateful for these "Zhina Baga" to dare to block and kill the imperial army.

In the next half hour, several attacks by the Japanese army on the three routes were repulsed, and they could not even gain a foothold on the hillside, and were driven down the mountain by artillery fire.

The Japanese attack was unfavorable, and they had to face up to the combat strength of the Chinese and honestly wait for the heavy artillery to be brought from the rear. It wasn't until dawn that the heavy mortar finally arrived at Hushan, along with the 280mm howitzers specially removed from the coastal defense fortresses in Japan, and the Japanese army immediately began to bombard.

Although the Guards had been subjected to the heavy artillery of the French before, their power was by no means so terrifying, and the breastwork was completely like papier-mâché in front of such a 305mm caliber shell, and it would blow up a piece if it was fired at the first shot. The same is true of a strong fortress, where stones several meters thick can be blown up and shattered into countless pieces in the air.

Howitzers, on the other hand, use shrapnels. A shrapnel is a kind of artillery shell that explodes at a timed time, with a thin wall, and contains gunpowder and small steel balls or steel arrows and steel balls. The warhead is equipped with a timed fuse, which can explode over the intended target, killing and injuring the enemy.

When the Yalu River was forcibly crossed before, the Japanese army also used it, and it worked very well, and now it has moved out again. Shrapnel exploded over Chinese positions, and its shrapnel and steel balls rained down like raindrops, and many Guards soldiers hiding in the trenches were shot out of a large hole in their heads and died on the spot.

After more than 10 minutes of shelling, the ammunition of the Japanese heavy artillery was temporarily exhausted, and it was naturally more difficult to transport it because of the need to cross the Yalu River. Seeing that the hilltop position was shrouded in gunsmoke, the commander of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro, did not want to wait any longer and ordered the attack again.

Unwilling to accept the failure of the attack just now, Sakai Kajiro brandished his katana and reorganized his troops, and the junior officers shouted everywhere, stimulating the young soldiers to "kill on the top of the mountain, ask for the blood debt from the pig in China, and repay it twice!" ＂

The shrill and crisp voice of the Japanese military horn sounded, and a large-scale charge began, everyone bit their lips, rushed up the hill with red eyes, and shouted in their mouths: "The sky is noisy!" (Long live His Excellency the Emperor)

This time the Japanese army successfully approached the breastwork, and after more than 200 Japanese troops, including Otomo Hironobu Nakasa, were killed, and finally people rushed into the Guards positions along the gap in the breastwork wall that had been blown open, and then more and more people rushed in, including Sakai Kojiro and other thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers, shouting and shouting and starting a white-knuckle battle with the defenders.

The Japanese army has always arrogantly believed that the Chinese can only rely on firepower, fighting like cowards from afar, and if they fight hand-to-hand combat, where is the opponent of the Japanese Warrior Imperial Army. Although the Japanese army attaches great importance to the training of assassination techniques, the Chinese and the French army, the extremely powerful army of white-blade warfare have fought to the death, and have accumulated a lot of experience in actual combat and stabbing skills.

In the training of assassination techniques, the guards went to the chaff, simplified all the movements, and only left "one knock and one stab" in the attack, that is, constantly knocking the opponent's gun with the gun to expose the gap in the middle, and then a lunge thrust. The whole movement is simple and straightforward, repeated countless times, tempered, emphasizing speed and accuracy, and other fancy movements are not allowed. In defense, it is emphasized to hold the gun with both hands and not move, and only rely on foot movement to adjust the distance.

Relatively speaking, the Japanese army's assassination skills still retain a lot of "European style", and Japanese bushido attaches great importance to swords and despises spears, believing that this long-range weapon is only used by cowards. It was not until the Meiji Restoration, influenced by the French Army's emphasis on the tradition of white-knuckle warfare, that the Japanese army began to train assassination, such as the first edition of the which was directly translated from French. Therefore, the Japanese army's assassination skills were more to learn from Europe, and they still retained jishu actions such as blocking with the butt of the gun, smashing with the gun, and holding the barrel horizontally.

Under the stabbing of the two sides, the Guards still had some upper hand, which surprised the Japanese army, and what was worse was that due to the lack of ammunition of the Japanese army, the artillery fire was suppressed by China, and the field artillery of the Guards continued to bombard the hillside, so that the Japanese reinforcements could not come up, and the Japanese troops who had rushed into the position were gradually isolated, Zuihou was outnumbered, hundreds of people were annihilated on the spot, hundreds of people fled back, and hundreds of people were surrounded by the Guards.

The Guards shouted the Japanese pronunciation of guns and not kills, and although it was very difficult to read, the Chinese made a sentence with a homophonic sound: Wow ha, fucking dead road.

"Wow ha-fucking dead road! ＂

"Wow ha-fucking dead road! ＂

However, the die-hard Japanese soldiers refused to surrender and resisted stubbornly, and the guards were no longer polite, like a group of bayonets in the snow-white jungle rushing up, annihilating the Japanese troops one by one, and all of them were stabbed in the eyes from head to toe, like a terrible hornet's nest.

Sakai Kajiro was dying and cut off the leg of a Guards soldier, but Zuihou was still pinned to the ground by a group of Chinese, unable to move. There were also some Japanese soldiers, who had obviously been captured, and their guns had been knocked out, and they were torn and bitten like a pack of mad dogs.

There were forty or fifty people in Zuihou, and they couldn't move and were tied up by the Guards. Everyone hated these Japanese bastards for being stubborn, and Dong Fuxiang also scolded there: "Damn, you are so arrogant to go wild in other people's places, and put on a tough guy look, you can't let them die too happily, they will all be chopped for me!" ＂

Soon, these Japanese were all broken down piece by piece with a saber, first the entire genitals were cut alive, then the hands and feet were cut into two pieces, the head was cut off, and the body was divided into four pieces, each of them was cut into ten pieces, wrapped in oiled paper, and thrown down the hillside with a gurgling and returned to the Japanese army.

That Sakai Kojiro, because he was the most stubborn, was still wearing an officer uniform, and received special "preferential treatment", and he was skinned all over his body before the military was released!

As soon as he saw that his clothes were stripped naked, and several big men held down his hands and feet, Sakai Kojiro had a premonition of unhappiness, and after a few knives, half of his scalp was cut off, and he screamed, and the severe pain made him cry on the spot, and he was incontinent.

At this time, Sakai Kojiro finally knew that he was wrong, completely wrong, and the "Shina pig" he looked down on was pressing him to the ground and wanted to peel his skin, so wouldn't he be even as good as a pig.

He wanted to admit his mistake, he wanted to beg for mercy, he wanted to look at each other's eyes as gently as possible, and said sincerely: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have come to your country to provoke, I don't dare anymore, spare me!" ＂

But at this time, he realized that he couldn't even speak a word of Chinese, and at the critical moment, he realized how important it was to learn a foreign language.

Seeing that the cold and shining saber had been placed on his eyelids, a good Sakai Kojiro, stunned by the explosion of potential, and actually remembered that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey was in Osaka, and watched a performance of the Chinese Kunqu Opera repertoire vaguely remembered a little tune, so he hummed directly, hoping to express "goodwill", close the relationship between each other, and let the other party "leave skin under the knife".

But a few of these Guards soldiers can listen to Kunqu Opera, not to mention that this Japanese devil hums differently, which sounds like a sneer.

Several people scolded: "Uncle Cao, you're dying, you're still fucking pretending, pretending!" Feign! ＂

Then a hysterical scream resounded through Tiger Mountain, and even spread far away to the bottom of the mountain, making those Japanese officers and soldiers jump in their eyelids!
