"Your Excellency, General! Both the 2nd and 3rd Brigades were attacked by the China. The attack of the Chinese was very fierce, but they said that they would send troops to support the headquarters as soon as possible. Hirano said with a frown.

"Tell them to come back as soon as possible, or we'll all be shattered!" Listening to the gunshots getting closer and closer outside, Kuma Shimoto couldn't sit still, and yelled at Hirano Nakasa.

"Your Excellency, General! We are also some distance from the nearest second brigade, and I am afraid it will be difficult for them to arrive in a short time. Hirano Nakasa said worriedly.

"Aren't they not far away? Get them to help now! Xia Yuan Xiongmi suddenly remembered that there was a mountain artillery brigade near the headquarters, so he asked loudly.

"The mountain artillery brigade was also attacked by the China, and now the China have occupied the artillery positions. Yamaguchi Shaosa is organizing troops to recapture positions. The lowly has ordered them to send troops to support the headquarters! But they will certainly be held back by the Shina people. For the sake of safety, Your Excellency the General should retreat quickly! Hirano Nakasa said.

"Retreat! Where else can we retreat? There are people from China on all sides. Xia Yuan Xiong Mi sighed helplessly.

"Your Excellency, General! The gunfire in the east is relatively sparse, and we can concentrate our forces and retreat from the east to the east, and then move south along the river to get closer to the mountain artillery brigade. Although there is a certain danger in this way, it is better than sitting and waiting here, the firepower of the people of China is too strong, and the garrison squadron may not be able to withstand much time! Hirano Nakasa thought for a moment and suggested.

I am a high-ranking general of the Empire, and I still have to expand the territory for His Majesty the Emperor, so I can't just die here. Shimoto Xiongya tried hard to justify his fear of death, and Shimoto Kumaya gritted his teeth and ordered to Hirano Nakasa, "Hirano-kun, immediately organize the remaining forces and break through to the east!" ”

"Hayi!"

"Da Da Da!" A burst of gunfire rang out, and two staff officers in the brigade headquarters who were busy burning documents were beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground unwillingly. Xie Jinyuan rushed up and kicked the brazier to the ground, and stepped on the unburned documents with two feet. Xie Jinyuan used to be a staff officer, so he naturally knew the important surnames of these documents. Xie Jinyuan turned to Xu Wenqiang and said, "Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, that old devil must have just left, you immediately took the spy company to pursue, and you must not let that old devil escape." ”

"Yes!" Xu Wenqiang responded, waved his hand and chased people out.

"Brother Li! You see a few little devils running over! A member of the Volunteer Brigade shouted as he pointed to a dozen little devils running in the dark.

"! Zhang Haozi, this kid is really useless, he can't even stop a dozen little devils. Ding Li couldn't help but scold. It turned out that Xie Jinyuan asked Ding Li to take the volunteers around the back of the village to prevent the little devils from escaping. In order to prevent accidents, Ding Li sent his subordinate Zhang Haozi to guard the entrance of the village with more than 100 people, but he took dozens of capable subordinates and arranged another line of defense on the periphery to prevent little devils from slipping through the net.

"Prepare for battle!" Ding Li looked at the little devil who was approaching and ordered softly.

"Brother Li, look, those little devils are still wearing tweed coats, they must be the big officials of the little devils." The member of the volunteer team said excitedly.

"It's the big officials and small officials who care about the fuck, as long as it's a little devil, kill it first." Ding Li said casually. When the dozen or so little devils approached, Ding Li waved his hand and shouted, "Hit Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he raised the submachine gun in his hand and pointed it at the little devil. At the same time, a Czech light machine gun, four submachine guns, and more than 20 rifles fired at the same time, and the dense rain of bullets completely enveloped the dozen or so little devils in an instant, and in just a few seconds, the dozen little devils fell to the ground.

Ding Li waved his hand and said, "Up!" Then he rushed forward with his brothers. When everyone got closer, they found that the dozen or so little devils had fallen in a pool of blood, although there were still three or four who were not dead, but they were seriously injured and had lost their combat effectiveness. Bang bang gunshots rang out, and the soldiers of the volunteer team sent the little devils lying on the ground and moaning directly into the arms of Anameasu.

"Brother Li! You see these two knives are good! A member of the volunteer team took out two Western-style command knives from the dead body and waved them at Ding Lixian.

"It seems that these two little devils are really officers! It's time for Lao Tzu to get rich! With the heads of these two little devils, Brother Jin has to reward me with four more submachine guns! Hahaha," Ding Li said triumphantly with the Western-style command knife.

After a while, Xu Wenqiang chased after him with a group of people, Xu Wenqiang asked someone to look through the corpses of those little devils, "A major general, a lieutenant, a young lieutenant, and four lieutenants!" It seems that this is the brigade headquarters of the little devil, and this old devil is Xia Yuan Xiongmi. After speaking, Xu Wenqiang punched Ding Li in the chest, "What kind of shit luck did you kid go, Lao Tzu fought hard for a long time, and finally the great credit fell into the hands of your kid." ”

At this time, it was 1932, and the little devil was still using a Western-style command knife. At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, the army adopted French-style training methods. After the Franco-Prussian War, France was defeated, and he switched to Germany to learn military affairs. In the 18th year of the Meiji era (1885), the German [***] officers represented by Major Michael came to teach at the University of the Army, and the tactics and military system of the Army were taught by Germany, and the navy was British. Not only that, but even the command knife has been Westernized. Emperor Meiji and his retainer Hirobumi Ito wore Western-style command swords when they wore them. Until World War II, officers wore Western-style command knives with cherry blossom ornaments.

On February 6, 1933, Goro Arakawa, Atsuhiko Saburo Kuri, and others submitted a proposal to the Masamachi Sword in the Tokyo House of Commons to promote the spirit and inherent culture of the sword, which was unanimously approved. A month later, the Kwantung Army, which had invaded northeast China, attacked the Lengkou, Zhufengkou, and Gubeikou of the Great Wall of China with more than 80,000 troops from the 6th and 8th Divisions and the 14th and 33rd Brigades of the Great Wall. On March 11, under the leadership of Brigade Commander Zhao Dengyu, the broadsword team of the 37th Division of the 29th Army of the Central [***] team took a detour to the flank of the Xifengkou army on a snowy night, destroyed the enemy's artillery position, and annihilated more than 3,000 infantry, cavalry, and artillery of the enemy's Hattori artillery Dazuo (colonel), and the Chinese broadsword was dignified. At the time, the newspaper said: "Since the Meiji Emperor founded the army, the honor of the imperial army has been completely lost outside the Kimine Pass, and it has been insulted for 60 years. Therefore, at the initiative of the leading figures of the Imperial Sect, such as the Minister of the Araki Army, the Vice Minister of the Yanagawa Army, and the Director of the Yamaoka Military Bureau, the military abandoned the flashy Western-style command sword in 1934, and all officers changed to the saber of the original style to deal with it. This is why there is a command knife that has appeared on the screen countless times, and at this time, the officers of the army are still using flashy Western-style command knives.
