"Brother Lin, take a sip of water!" A girl in a coarse cloth dress and a red sleeve brought a bowl of water to the sergeant leaning behind the earth wall in the house with a rifle in her arms.

The Army Sergeant was covered in blood and was shot at least three times on his body, especially the one on his calf. He was swept by the bullets of the 92-heavy machine gun and a blood hole the size of a cup appeared. Although the bones were not hit, the muscle tissue was torn apart by the bullet, and the muscles and meridians were exposed, which made people unbearable to look at them.

The large amount of blood loss caused the sergeant to have a haggard face like the bark of an old tree, but his lips showed strange paleness.

"Zhao Xiaoni, you are not a qualified soldier. If you ask you to retreat, you will not abide by the military order!" The army sergeant glanced at the girl, but did not take the bowl. His haggard and withered face was full of anger.

Lin Peng was naturally angry. As the highest military rank in Zhaojiazhuang, he issued a militia platoon withdrawal order before dusk, but the female militia refused to leave. Now, they were completely blocked by the Japanese army in this small courtyard, and neither of them could leave.

The two of them are already the last soldier and a militia in Zhaojiazhuang.

Since the Japanese army stationed in southern Hebei once again launched the "Clearing the Countryside Operation" in mid-June, in one month, military and civilians in southern Hebei have used landmines, tunnels and ditches across the countryside to fight with the Japanese army more than 100 times.

The Japanese army successfully smashed more than 90 attacks on plain villages, transferred tens of thousands of protected people, killed more than 4,000 Japanese troops, and killed even surpassed the front battlefield of Zhongtiao Mountain.

But when you walk by the river often, you can’t help but get your shoes wet, and the same is true on the battlefield.

This battle in Zhaojiazhuang was obviously a battle carefully planned by the Japanese army through continuous failures over the past month.

The first attack was Hanjiazhuang, 6 kilometers away from Zhaojiazhuang. Nearly 400 Japanese invaders rushed there in a fierce manner. Hanjiazhuang lit the beacon as usual, and half of the garrisons in the surrounding villages each divided into regular troops and militias to support.

As a result, the Japanese army actually made a move to attack the east and west. As soon as Hanjiazhuang started fighting, they suddenly carried nearly 600 people on trucks and motorcycles to siege Zhaojiazhuang, which was closest to the highway.

In addition, the troops were rapidly increased, and more than 1,000 people were deployed around Zhaojiazhuang to prevent the arrival of the other villages.

Because the Japanese army came too fast, the reaction time left for Zhaojiazhuang was no more than 20 minutes. In order to cover the people's transfer through the tunnel, Lin Peng, deputy squad leader of the 2nd Platoon of the 7th Company in Zhaojiazhuang, made a quick decision and led the 6 people left by the 1st Squad and 60 new recruits in the 3rd Platoon of the Lincheng Division of the 80th Group Army, and 30 militiamen built defense points outside the village to fight against the enemy.

Half an hour later, due to the Japanese invaders' power, the entire army was forced to retreat into the village, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army with the tunnel and the newly built high wall.

The Japanese army used infantry artillery and heavy machine guns to bombard the village, and even transferred two mountain cannons to support them two hours later.

According to observations, the Japanese army had already reached three infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron just by mobilizing the troops surrounding the village.

What Lin Peng and others didn't know was that on the outer side, the Japanese army even mobilized a full-scale infantry brigade, an armored squadron and two cavalry squadrons at all costs. The total strength of all troops was as high as more than 2,000 people.

In Xingtai Prefecture, 50 kilometers away, there are two infantry brigades ready to go, ready to support this battlefield where Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshimo, the commander of the 10th Division, Major General Takehesuke Se, the commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade, and Colonel Numata, the commander of the 39th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Numata, personally led the team to attack.

Yoshio Shinozuka is so frustrated!

The power of a permanent imperial division and 5,000 security troops was called to mobilize nearly 20,000 soldiers in the "Clearing Countryside Operation" for a month. The Chinese villages were still standing in the wilderness, and the Chinese did not kill a few. After taking a inventory of their losses, a single infantry regiment was silently lost.

If he continues like this, he, the division commander, will almost become the commander of the team in the next two months.

What made Yoshio Shinozuka even more annoyed was that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon and the 4th Division. As a result, the Osaka vendors didn't seem to be here to fight, but they were more like they were here to do business. They actually went to make a deal with the Chinese in Handan City without any bottom line.

If the Chinese have antiques and calligraphy and paintings need to be sold, they will not only trade fairly, but also use not only the gold rounds issued in the occupied areas, but the ocean that the Chinese like the most.

It really made the Imperial Army lose all its face. The Chinese are the losers. What qualifications do they have to choose fairness?

If it's okay if it's just doing business, the key is that Yukinosuke Okuba is a typical hob meat. Yoshio Shinozuka can't help him. In any combat meeting, the guy will always be sick. All he has come is a staff officer at Nakasas. When he comes back, he will be like that guy and ask for instructions. He won't know how many days it will take.

If it weren't for the fact that the 4th Division had a "bad reputation" was outside, Yoshio Shinozuka rushed into the military camp with a commanding knife and chopped the guy up.

Anyway, after more than 20 days, the scope of activities of more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the 4th Division has never exceeded the city wall of Handan City.

The only use is that with the 4th Division stationed in Handan, Yoshio Shinozuka could safely dispatch his troops to the vast countryside of Handan and Xingtai.

Then, a large number of people died!

It was in this context that Yoshio Shinozuka, who was unwilling to fail, racked his brains to think about "speaking east and attacking west", and chose Lincheng County, which belongs to Xingtai area.

Although the mountainous areas, hills and plains each account for one-third, it is 50 kilometers south of Xingtai and 80 kilometers north of Shimen. If the main Chinese forces gather, Xingtai, Shimen and Handan will send troops, it will form a siege.

If the Chinese dare not come, it would be simple. To destroy the entire village, it would be considered an example of the "Clearing the Countryside Operation" led by the commander, but it is that the troops were used a little more.

This may also be a result that Shinozuka Yoshio was not expected when he was ordered to lead his troops to arrive in southern Hebei. In order to kill a village in southern Hebei with a population of only a few hundred, he, the commander of the lieutenant general of the empire, racked his brains and planned, and called most of the infantry brigade to complete the implementation.

But no matter what, he succeeded.

After a hard battle throughout the afternoon and overnight, Zhaojiazhuang's defense was completely lost, killing dozens of enemies. In the end, the enemy who resisted was blocked in a small yard, and it was only one step away from annihilation of the opponent.

Although the attack and defense line of the Chinese on the periphery is very fierce, they are basically light infantry and they cannot break through that line of defense.

The annihilation of all Chinese people in this village is inevitable.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in Handan City, smiled on his face. No matter how cunning the Chinese are, they can only die in the face of absolute strength.

"Yoxi! After killing all the Chinese there, we will fill all their wells and put them into extreme poison. I will make it an unmanned land, and all the Chinese villages that have been conquered in the future will be handled accordingly." Shinozuka Yoshio was in a happy mood and issued a military order to Colonel Numata Tazo on the front line.

"Sorry, Brother Lin, this is my home. I can't just watch you fight for us!" The girl who is less than 18 years old is filled with tears in her eyes and she shook her head fiercely.

"Stand it, Brother Lin, I heard gunshots in the distance, and someone must have come to save us outside."

"The Japanese have been planning for so long and finally seized this opportunity. Then we will let our people rush in so easily." Lin Peng shook his head gently.

"I said you are an unqualified soldier, so don't be unwilling to admit it. The soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty. Our regiment commander said that we can rebuild our family without a family, but if people are gone, nothing will be gone."

"I know you and those big brothers stayed to protect us from leaving, but how could I watch you exchange your own lives for our lives, and die together if you want to die." The girl stubbornly bit her lips.

"Do you still have bullets?" Looking at the girl's stubborn face, Lin Peng couldn't bear to criticize her anymore.

"I still have 3 rifle bullets here, and the last one in the pistol!" The girl took out three bullets from her cloth pocket, hesitated for a moment, and raised the Southern Fourteenth Pistol in her hand.

The gun was seized by the Japanese sergeant with three cousins ​​in the battle to support Sunjia Village a week ago. The brave Zhao Xiaoni brought her three cousins ​​to kill a Japanese sergeant with her own earth gun. The rifle was distributed to other powerful militias, and the Southern Fourteen Pistol was rewarded as a reward.

"Give me the rifle bullet, wait a moment to drill into the tunnel under the earthen kang, don't walk outside the yard. I have heard the sound of the Japanese digging around. They must have cut off all the connection between the yard and other places. Just hide in it and don't make a sound. Don't use the last bullet easily until the last time!

Remember, this is the last time I have issued a military order to you with the position of Zhaojiazhuang's supreme commander. I don't need you to avenge me. The brothers in my squad died here. I, the deputy squad leader, failed to take good care of them, and should go and accompany them." Lin Peng of course knew what the last bullet this little girl meant.

The bullet will not be left to the enemy, but to himself. The girl who stayed in violation of military orders has long been determined to die.

However, she is so young, how can Lin Peng bear to die here?

The girl's eyes were filled with tears rolling down her dusty cheeks, but she still held the pottery bowl stubbornly.

Lin Peng had no choice but to pick up the bowl and drank the turbid water in the bowl and his eyes gradually became softer: "Little girl, then Brother Lin will tell you something else. If you have the chance to live until after the war, I hope you can go to the martyrs' cemetery at my Four-Hand Group to see me and tell me what China will look like in the future."

"Brother Lin, is this an order? If it is an order, I don't accept it. I would rather not be this militiaman. Just think of me as your landlord." The girl picked up her dirty sleeves and wiped her red eyes hard.

Unfortunately, I still can't wipe away the rolling tears.

She knew that the elder brother who had lived in her house for three months hoped that she would survive.

But, does the elder brother know the reason why she violated the order?

"It's not considered an order, it's considered a request! The request of comrades!" Lin Peng subconsciously avoided the girl's eyes.

People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless! How can a 21-year-old young man not knowing the thoughts of the 17-year-old girl in front of him?

However, the military rules of the Four Corps were strictly prohibited, especially after entering southern Hebei, according to the military order of the Tang regiment, each company issued military rules that strictly prohibited the love of women in the village where they were located.

The love between men and women is not all romantic, and scumbags are not unique to later generations, because hormones secretly gave someone their daughter something. Later, there were too many things they didn't want to admit, and there were also those who stole their young wife. Once they made a fuss, they would not only be embarrassed. In this special stage where the military and civilians were united, Tang Dao could never let this happen.

Just use strict military orders to kill them, at least you can't do these things in the early stages of the war behind enemy lines.

Lin Peng, who has followed Tang Dao since the Guangde War, naturally would not violate the military orders of the regiment headquarters, so he pretended to be straight and did not know how to do it. At this time, he had already developed a desire to die, and would not delay other people's good women.

"You just think I am a comrade-in-arms!" The girl's eyes showed despair. "Okay, I promise you that I will try my best to survive."

"Listen to the people in the house, you are surrounded and the tunnel has been dug out by us, so don't think about running away.

Taijun said, I admire your bravery very much. I can block my 600 troops with an army of more than 60 people to attack my Great Japanese Empire for 16 hours. It is a hero. Our Great Japanese Empire respects heroes. As long as you are willing to surrender, we will not kill you. If your commanders are willing to exchange prisoners of war, you will also be in the exchange. Give you three minutes to consider. Once the time comes, we will attack."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! A sudden shout of persuading surrender came from outside the house. He should be the Japanese translator.

The girl's face darkened. The number of people mentioned by the Japanese army was exactly the number of all the regular soldiers who set up defensive positions in front of the village to protect the people of Zhaojiazhuang from evacuating yesterday afternoon. In addition to Lin Peng, a total of 66 people were 66. At dusk, 10 regular soldiers used their lives to cover the evacuation of the remaining 15 militias.

Now the Japanese army can report the number of more than 60 people, which means that all the soldiers were killed in battle, and no one survived except Lin Peng.

"Haha! If the Japanese can believe the words, the sows will climb trees!" Lin Peng in the house could not see any sadness. He smiled in a trans smile and looked at the terrifying wounds covered by dust on his calves. "Even if I don't kill me, I can't resist the bacterial infection level. Do they know what antibiotics are?"

"Three minutes? It doesn't take that long. I will let you know what the soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment are!" The next moment, Lin Peng, who pressed the last three bullets into the gun chamber, stood up with difficulty, and was in a state of fighting. He turned around and looked at the girl with tears in his eyes, throwing her black star pistol that had already been shot in an empty magazine.

"This gun will make killing the Japanese more enjoyable, it's yours!"

Then he will not look back.

Outside the house is his battlefield, inside the house is the person he wants to protect, and he cannot look back!

As the highest commander of all Japanese troops invading Zhaojiazhuang, Captain Lin Muqingyuan, who was the 6th Infantry Squadron of the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 8th Infantry Brigade, was actually not as excited as he imagined.

After careful inventory, there were 56 enemy corpses in total, up to 5 were semi-incomplete, and there were also several tailors with the most exquisite craftsmanship that could not be pieced together.

But in fact, although there are infantry artillery and mountain artillery attacks, due to the special terrain of Zhaojiazhuang, artillery fire basically destroys houses and walls. None of them can be really bombarded on the human body with one shot and caused to pieces.

That means that those incomplete human bodies used self-destructive tactics during their lifetime!

There was a popular saying in the Imperial Army: Leave the last bullet for yourself! This kind of ambition and bold statement always sounded like Captain Lin Muqingyuan was excited, but the Chinese here left the last grenade for themselves, which made Lin Muqingyuan cold all over!

What made Captain Lin Muqingyuan even more frightened was that there were as many as 500 infantrymen attacking Zhaojiazhuang, and as well as artillery, heavy machine gunners and other troops, the total force was as high as 650, almost ten times that of the enemy.

But what was the result? Only more than 60 enemies were eliminated, but more than 200 imperial officers and soldiers died in battle. More than 70 people died in battle from Lin Muqingyuan's infantry squadron alone.

Note that it is death or injury.

The authentic tunnels built by the Chinese people spend a lot of effort are really terrible. They can come out from anywhere you unexpectedly shoot at you, and the submachine guns in their hands are fierce enough. If you accidentally, five or six soldiers were shot. Even if the huge bullet holes left by the 9mm caliber bullet were not fatal on the spot, there was almost no soldier who could hold on until the sun rose under the massive blood loss.

This is really a nightmare battle. If possible, Lin Muqingyuan would not want to fight in such a village that could die at any time in his life.

The best way for the Empire to fight against such villages with crisscrossing alleys like a maze is to wipe it completely from the ground with heavy artillery, rather than fill it with the precious lives of the imperial officers and soldiers little by little.

However, the scene that truly shocked Lin Muqingyuan's soul was about to appear in front of him.

The Chinese man surrounded by at least 50 soldiers appeared in the courtyard.

Lin Muqingyuan already attached great importance to the last resister in Zhaozhuang, this Chinese soldier. He used the terrain and exquisite individual tactics to kill no less than 20 imperial officers and soldiers, and was a very terrifying powerful enemy.

But all the Japanese army still underestimated him.

With three shots, he only fired three shots, and the three Imperial Warriors were gone.

They were just exposed to the outside but had a little too much torso, or because they were close to victory, they were too proud to shoot at the Chinese with guns and a desperate attack.

They obviously hit the opponent, and the bullet penetrated the blood splashed through the man's body. Lin Muqingyuan, who was so close to him, could see it with his own eyes.

However, three more people died. The Chinese 7.92 mm caliber warhead was stronger than the empire's 6.5-caliber Arisaka bullet.

The Chinese successfully completed the battle to exchange injuries for death in front of 50 imperial officers and soldiers!

"Prepare for attack! Machine gunner, grenade launcher fire cover!" Lin Muqingyuan's face was cold, and he waved his hand to give up the plan to capture at least 23 of his officers and soldiers alive.

"I have no bullets, I've dropped!" A rifle was thrown out of the yard, and a somewhat weak voice sounded.
