The distant sky slowly flooded with a piece of fish belly white, the morning light was faint, the hazy night slowly faded, the dawn of the morning sun was exuding a charming light to shine on the earth, and there was a long and far-reaching bell sound in the temple of Jiming Temple......

The Tang Dynasty poet Chang Jian's famous poem "Title Poshan Temple Hou Zen Courtyard" once wrote: Wan Lai is silent, but Yu Zhong chime. This situation coincides with the city of Nanjing at this time. The difference is that after dawn, the city of Nanjing is no longer a peaceful place for all living beings to live and work in peace and contentment, and to communicate with each other, but to replace them with endless darkness, negativity and even despair.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the time freezes in this moment. There was quite a commotion in the position of the field artillery wing under the command of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and the artillery group composed of dozens of "90" guns, under the command of division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke, began the first round of artillery fire coverage of the Chinese defenders in Guanghuamen Fortress today. The bombardment lasted for 10 minutes, and after the artillery fire stopped, the 18th Brigade, as the vanguard of the 9th Division, began to carry out a forced breakthrough at Guanghuamen......

As soon as the first shell of the Japanese army landed, the tired Yang Longfei woke up from his sleep. After hearing the sound of cannons, Yang Longfei and Yi Anhua took out their guns from their waists and rushed to the city gate position...... The attack echelon composed of the 25th Regiment and the 259th Brigade approached the Guanghua Gate along the Zhonghe Bridge, while the 89th Regiment of Tie Haichuan followed the path extending from Haifu Lane to the City Gate to outflank the Japanese army.

Due to the unprecedented scale of the Japanese offensive and firepower density, the defenders responsible for blocking the city gate could be said to be defeated at the touch of a button, and the Japanese army conquered the city gate in one fell swoop without much effort. The 18th Brigade took advantage of the great victory in the first battle, and its vanguard simply expanded the battle line to the area around Guanxiang in the city at one time. When Yang Longfei and Tie Haichuan joined forces and opened fire to attack the Japanese troops entering the city, the 36th Wing under the 18th Brigade of the Japanese Army, totaling 2,700 people, had all entered the city, and launched the criminal act of using the city gate as the starting point, expanding to the surrounding areas and wantonly slaughtering, and the hypocritical and ugly faces of the Japanese soldiers were clearly exposed.

What Yang Longfei and others did not expect was that when they were desperately flanking the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, they were actually attacked by the 18th Brigade. The follow-up troops of the 36th Wing turned their guns and carried out strategic countermeasures against Yang Longfei and Tie Haichuan at the front of the 18th Brigade that had just entered the city...... Even those men and horsemen who did not belong to the combat unit grabbed their kitchen knives and flat poles one after another, and slashed at the hideous-looking Japanese soldiers.

Yang Longfei's saber didn't dance a few times before he cut the gap, he couldn't care about so much, picked up a sharp machete on the spot and threw himself into the bloody battle again. After cutting down three Japanese soldiers in a row, he met the commander of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, Masao Okamura. Several Japanese soldiers, who had planned to pounce, saw that the prey in front of them had been captured by Captain Okamura, so they left in amusement to look for other opponents.

Like those traditional Japanese soldiers, Masao Okamura has a mustache, is not tall, has a pair of lap legs, and looks very funny in a fat Japanese military uniform.

Okamura Masao's eyes were glowing with cold, he had long noticed Yang Longfei, the guy who had slashed and killed three imperial soldiers in a row. As the commander of the three Japanese soldiers, he has the obligation to personally deal with the "murderer" in front of him in order to comfort their souls.

Masao Okamura didn't have any nonsense, I saw his slightly closed left eyelid suddenly open, and while letting out an angry roar, he waved the * in his hand and rushed towards Yang Longfei...... Yang Longfei was not ambiguous, grabbed the handle of the machete in his hand and slashed at Masao Okamura, who was getting closer and closer to him. When two blades with different casting principles collided, they almost burst into sparks. Okamura's saber is not a fine one, and after several baptisms of white-knuckle battles, this average texture * has been somewhat broken. After five or six rounds of continuous slashing, Yang Longfei didn't know where he came from to be so powerful, and he slashed Okamura's saber into two pieces in just one go. Okamura was shocked, and when he was still immersed in the trance of the saber being cut off, Yang Longfei took the opportunity to slash the broadsword at Okamura's neck again......

With a crisp crack of bone, Captain Masao Okamura's head flew diagonally in the direction of the blade, and at the last second before he died, he wondered what was wrong.

Yang Longfei picked up the knife and looked at it, fuck, the knife edge is missing again? There was no way, in the face of the enemy who was rushing towards him like a tiger and wolf, he could only use it, Yang Longfei's brain slowed down for a few seconds and then plunged into a bloody battle again......

The battle was in full swing when a loud gunshot broke the battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, which was originally just a sonorous sword. Yang Longfei and the others subconsciously looked back at the location of the gunshot, and everyone was stunned...... It was none other than Yi Anhua, the commander of the 259 Brigade, who was shot impartially, and the bullet hit the chest impartially, and when everyone came back to their senses from a burst of surprise, Brigade Commander Yi Anhua had fallen in a pool of blood, and there was a huge blood hole on the chest of the military uniform, as if it was a blooming blood flower. This shot was very tricky, and one shot killed without mercy. Needless to say, this must have been done by the Japanese, and it is unknown which Japanese soldier fired the black gun, the battlefield is still so chaotic and crazy, the soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, and no one has the time and space to protect the body of Brigadier Yi Anhua.

Later, according to Tie Haichuan's recollection, Brigade Commander Yi Anhua was in a white-hot state of hand-to-hand combat when he was shot and killed. Only recognize clothes, not people! But anyone who sees someone who does not match his military uniform will be slashed and killed, and there is no other word. In that situation, let alone a brigade commander, even if the supreme commander of the theater fell, he could only consider himself unlucky, and there was no time to rush over for treatment or injury examination. To put it bluntly, if you go over and help someone else down, I'm sorry, the next second the enemy's bayonet may be pierced into your back, and then the two brothers will be finished together. Rather than this, it's better to ignore it and kill a few more devils.

Compared with Yang Longfei, although Tie Haichuan's marksmanship is superb and his guns and bullets are not missing, he can only be regarded as a third-rate player in terms of fighting bayonets. The reason is simple, most of the military education he received in Germany was mainly theoretical courses, and the content of the courses was roughly divided into three-dimensional or mechanized combat at the corps level. The cunning Nazi army was adept at positional warfare, defensive warfare, annihilation warfare, and urban assault, but not at white-knuckle warfare. It's not so much that I'm not good at it, but I don't like this primitive cold weapon fighting from the bottom of my bones.

There is a huge difference between the understanding of the term "soldier" between Westerners and Easterners, who believe that "soldier" is a profession entirely, and that humanism is far superior to nationalism in each country. In their view, joining the army is a way to earn a living, just like the newsboys and clerks who can be seen everywhere on the streets, and it is nothing more than a profession chosen for a living, and it has nothing to do with faith, except that this "profession" is more dangerous than being a newsboy and a clerk, and even loses his life at any time. In the eyes of the real Germans, the war is nothing more than to achieve a certain strategic significance through a means, and everyone is happy if it is won, and if it is defeated, it is equivalent to declaring one's own unemployment in a sense. For a job seeker, unemployment is the worst outcome, and it should not pose a threat to one's life on the basis of unemployment, which is somewhat more than worth the loss. As for fighting bayonets, it is a primitive barbaric act that is completely contrary to human nature, and fighting a war is completely a matter of best effort for soldiers, and even a gun cannot solve the problem, and it must be solved by such an extreme act as stabbing, what is not a madman? It is better to send a surrender document and wait silently in the enemy's concentration camp for the end of the war.

On the contrary, the Orientals should be extra serious about nationalism, even radical. In this modern world, Asia, as the starting point of the world's historical civilization, each country has its own unique cultural heritage. Throughout history, few Eastern countries have easily betrayed their own people and beliefs, especially China and Japan. If it weren't for the strong nationalist ideology firmly imprisoned in the hearts of the people of both countries, I am afraid that there would not be the current Sino-Japanese war. Unlike the Germans, in the eyes of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers, although "soldier" is a profession, it contains a more far-reaching meaning: that is, to be responsible for safeguarding national sovereignty and national independence, which is a sacred mission and can be called faith for the soldiers. In their view, it is the country that has nurtured them, and they should give back to the country as a matter of course, and when the country's future, destiny and territorial integrity are absolutely violated, as a soldier, they have the obligation to maintain and be loyal to their country, and this strong sense of national pride that comes with the exclusive oriental countries can be seen. No matter what the future holds, even if it is isolated, even if it is at the cost of one's own life.

During the two years of studying in Germany, Tie Haichuan practiced a breathtakingly good marksmanship, but he still lacked a certain amount of courage and courage in the white-knuckle battle with bayonets. Although this did not prevent him from performing the duties of an excellent soldier, in this kind of life-fighting environment where everyone was in danger, almost no one could do anything for him, and if the skill of fighting bayonets did not pass, he would be unlucky.

At this moment, a medium-sized, but rather stout Japanese soldier Cao rushed towards Tie Haichuan with a rifle equipped with a bayonet. This man is obviously a Japanese soldier who has undergone professional stabbing training, and his attack is so fierce and quick to react that he will definitely not be able to do without a year or two of hard training. Just now, four soldiers of the national army had fallen under his sword. As far as white-knuckle combat is concerned, Tie Haichuan, who is a complete layman, will look dwarfed in front of this Japanese military officer.

The bayonet of the Japanese soldier Cao was clearly pierced into Tie Haichuan's chest, and Tie Haichuan raised the saber in his hand a little clumsily to step forward, barely dodging the blow. But the Japanese soldier Cao did not give Tie Haichuan a chance to breathe, after being blocked by the opponent with a saber to block the assassination just now, he took advantage of the situation to raise the body of the gun and violently picked Tie Haichuan's saber out of his hand, and then the muzzle of the gun was flattened, and the blade was straight at Tie Haichuan's chest and then grabbed it with an arrow......

The defenseless Tie Haichuan stumbled to the ground, and when he got up from the ground and sat on the ground, the bright and sharp bayonet was almost piercing his eyes......
