Chapter 1 The Ambush at the Nameless Highland Officially Begins

The ambush battle on the nameless highland began at 2:00 PM on October 1, 1937.

The outcome of the battle was decided from the very beginning. A team whose commander died at the start was like a headless fly; no matter how hard it struggled, it was all in vain.

In less than five minutes after the battle began, less than thirty of the Japanese soldiers in the company could still stand.

These Japanese soldiers tried desperately to save themselves, struggling to escape back the way they came.

But what they never expected was that the team they encountered today, dressed in the same uniforms as them, had no intention of letting them go.

They never had, and never would!

When these Japanese soldiers began to flee!

The Seventh Platoon and the Direct Unit were still waiting for them behind.

Squad Leaders Zhen Danxiao and Ye Dadan commanded the soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Following Lin Fan's instructions, they first gave each of the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground another shot.

Then, they took all the weapons and ammunition from the bodies.

They continued to search the bodies, and finally stripped the uniforms off the Japanese soldiers.

After the whole set of procedures, only naked Japanese bodies were left on the ground.

Chen Sichuan and Liu Laopao commanded the soldiers in their platoons to chase after the Japanese soldiers.

Jia Shusheng and Xiao Dongbei certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Now they had more men and morale than the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese soldiers had barely turned around and ran fifty meters when another burst of machine gun fire came head-on.

The Japanese soldiers, fleeing in panic, never expected to be ambushed again at this time.

But with just this one round of fire, eight or nine Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

The remaining Japanese soldiers quickly crawled on the ground, shivering.

They didn't know what deity they had encountered today; a company of men was reduced to just over a dozen of them.

Lin Fan rushed to within a hundred meters of the Japanese soldiers and saw that they had already turned around and were running away.

At this time, he could still shoot and kill the Japanese soldiers.

When he ran to fifty meters, a burst of intense machine gun fire rang out.

The remaining Japanese soldiers all fell.

In Lin Fan's sight, there was no longer a single standing Japanese soldier.

Ji Wudi happily said, "The Japanese soldiers are all dead!"

Lin Fan said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound. The Japanese soldiers have crawled down.

Maybe they are slowly crawling towards us like turtles.

Watch your surroundings carefully and be alert for any movement."

Liu Laopao was chasing from the left rear of the Japanese soldiers when he saw the machine guns from the Seventh Platoon and the Direct Unit firing over.

He almost got shot himself.

He was so angry that he started cursing.

Feng Junya didn't have time to respond at this time.

He commanded, "Charge!"

The Direct Unit and the Seventh Platoon, with a total of thirty-odd soldiers, charged towards the location where the Japanese soldiers were lying down.

Liu Laopao, who had almost been accidentally injured by his own men, quickly cooperated, "Charge!"

Xiao Dongbei's voice also loudly issued the command: "Charge!"

When the Special Company soldiers launched their charge, their synchronized footsteps heavily stomped on the ground.

The land in this area was trembling, and even the grass and bushes around the soldiers were shaking.

In a short distance of thirty meters, the Special Company soldiers charged in large strides, rushing into the Japanese ranks in less than five seconds.

This left the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, hiding in the grass, and hiding in the bushes with nowhere to hide.

It also terrified these Japanese soldiers. At this time, they finally saw clearly the people ambushing them.

These people were obviously regular soldiers, but they cunningly put on the uniforms of the imperial army.

They disguised themselves as imperial army soldiers.

Those Japanese soldiers who had been lying on the ground wanted to struggle a bit at this time.

Several clever Japanese soldiers were also crawling on the ground, quietly and without alarming anyone, towards the bushes on both sides.

They had barely crawled two or three meters when Liu Laopao, who had rushed up, saw them and pointed, "There!"

Feng Junya, who had issued the charge order first, was busy commanding the ten or so men from the Direct Unit, stabbing with bayonets at the Japanese soldiers who were scrambling to get up.

At this time, these Japanese soldiers had long lost their morale.

The high and mighty spirit they had when they set out had also been beaten down by the Special Company soldiers' repeated attacks.

These Japanese soldiers scrambled to get up, holding rifles in their hands, trying to struggle a bit more.

But they no longer had the courage in their hearts, and therefore no strength in their hands.

Facing the Special Company soldiers with their overwhelming momentum, these Japanese soldiers felt weak for the first time in a bayonet-to-bayonet close combat.

Strike while the iron is hot!

The soldiers of the Special Company did not intend to let these Japanese soldiers off.

Each of the soldiers still followed what the company commander had explained during training these days.

Three soldiers in a team, their feet stomping forward, shouted, "Kill!"

The guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers opposite were held up in a panic, and even their parrying movements were so slow and weak.

This was not an isolated case of one Japanese soldier appearing like this, but all of the last dozen or so Japanese soldiers were like this.

Those few Japanese soldiers who were discovered and pointed out by Liu Laopao completely disregarded the fact that their whereabouts had been discovered.

They were still crawling on the ground like turtles, using both their hands and feet.

They completely forgot to stand up and run away.

It was as if they could escape the Special Company soldiers' pursuit by crawling like this.

Burying their heads in the sand!

Liu Laopao rushed up, stomped on a Japanese soldier's back with a big foot, and stabbed down hard with the bayonet in his hand, aiming accurately.

Lin Fan heard all six platoons launching a simultaneous charge towards the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Only then did he feel relieved.

He said to the three Ji siblings beside him, "Be careful! We're charging too!

Pay attention to the surrounding situation!"

After speaking, he took the lead and launched the charge!

The three siblings beside him followed closely. When they rushed into the battlefield, the battle was already coming to an end.

Jia Shusheng, like Liu Laopao, stepped on a Japanese soldier and was about to stab with his bayonet.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shouted, "Hold your blade!"

Jia Shusheng was a little puzzled!

Xiao Dongbei was also a little puzzled; he was also stepping on a Japanese soldier.

Liu Laopao said with a grin, "Company Commander! Do you know them?"

Lin Fan said to these squad leaders under his command, "These three have a blood feud with the Japanese soldiers.

But they have never faced the Japanese soldiers in close combat.

Today is an opportunity for them to break their fear."

The soldiers of the Special Company already knew when they heard the names of these three siblings when they came up the mountain this morning:

If there wasn't a deep blood feud, no one would name themselves: Ji Guochou (Remember National Hatred), Ji Jiahen (Remember Family Hatred), Ji Wudi (Remember Invincibility).

Hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Xiao Dongbei stepped down hard, and the Japanese soldier under his feet screamed in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

That wasn't the end of it. Xiao Dongbei let go of the Japanese soldier, flipped him over like a turtle, and took all the weapons from the Japanese soldier's body.

Only then did he say to Ji Jiahen, "Come on! Look into his eyes and stab down at this spot."

Jia Shusheng followed suit, but perhaps because he wasn't the first to do so, he stomped twice more.

Lin Fan's orders continued: "First Platoon, Fourth Platoon, spread out and carefully search the surroundings to see if there are any fish that escaped the net.

Make sure not to let a single Japanese soldier go."

The soldiers of the Special Company were very cooperative.

They all dragged over the Japanese soldiers they had picked up, as well as those who still had a breath left.

Even Zhen Danxiao and Ye Dadan's platoons specially sent over Japanese soldier casualties who still had a breath left when they were cleaning up the battlefield for the Ji siblings.

Lin Fan pointed to the dozen or so injured and uninjured Japanese soldiers on the ground and said, "Ji Wudi, Ji Guochou, Ji Jiahen! Think about your names.

Do it!"

Ji Wudi had been intelligent since she was little, and was very much liked by her grandfather and father.

She had always been raised as a boy.

That's why she was able to run all over this area and play.

Even so, her hands were still trembling when she had to kill someone face to face.

On the other hand, Ji Guochou, hearing Lin Fan's words, immediately rushed up.

Learning from the shouts he had just heard from the Special Company soldiers: "Kill!"

He stabbed towards a kneeling Japanese soldier.

He hadn't received any training, and what he was thinking about was stabbing into the Japanese soldier's heart.

But the result was off by at least three inches.

He stabbed the other side of the Japanese soldier's chest.

The younger brother made a move, and the two older sisters also shouted, "Kill!"

They used such shouts to embolden themselves.

Ji Guochou stabbed into the Japanese soldier's chest with a knife, unable to grasp the strength, and couldn't pull out the bayonet.

He had no choice but to step on the Japanese soldier, twisting the bayonet forcefully.

The Japanese soldier under Ji Guochou's feet howled in pain.

Lin Fan saw this situation: those who didn't know would think that Ji Guochou wasn't killing someone, but interrogating them.

Lin Fan stepped forward and said, "Watch carefully! Keep your hand steady! Keep your heart steady! Keep your eyes accurate.

Quick in and quick out!"

The three Ji siblings stopped together and watched Lin Fan demonstrate.

Lin Fan took a step forward, half a step forward, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed into the heart of the still-howling Japanese soldier.

Then he quickly pulled it back.

The Japanese soldier who had been howling just now looked at Lin Fan with some gratitude.

He was grateful to Lin Fan for freeing him from suffering.

Lin Fan reached out his left hand and grasped Ji Guochou's gun, helping him to pull it out.

"Go again!"

He walked to Ji Wudi's side, and the rifle in her hand was also stuck in the Japanese soldier's body, unable to be pulled out.

When she first stabbed with this knife, her face was pale, obviously a little scared.

Now her face was red, probably a little shy.

She felt ashamed.

Lin Fan smiled and comforted, "No one's first time is perfect.

Being able to stab this knife is a big step forward."

He reached out to help pull the rifle out: "Come again!"

Xiao Dongbei had already helped Ji Jiahen pull out her gun.

And he also told her to continue.

Xiao Dongbei said, "When I killed a Japanese soldier for the first time, I thought of my father, my grandfather, my mother, my sister.

They were killed and abused by the Japanese soldiers right in front of my eyes.

Then I wasn't afraid anymore.

Look into their eyes, don't be deceived by their pleading eyes now.

When they have the opportunity to come again, they will be more brutal than before.

I've been fooled before."

Ji Jiahen had no choice but to stare intently at the Japanese soldier's begging, terrified eyes, and in the midst of this Japanese soldier's painful wails, she repeatedly stabbed the bayonet in.

She was only sixteen years old, and it was her first time using a bayonet, so her accuracy was not enough, but she made up for it in quantity.

Under Xiao Dongbei's guidance, Ji Jiahen finally completed the first kill in her life!

The soldiers of the entire Special Company knew about Xiao Dongbei's family affairs, and no officer or soldier ever interfered with what he wanted to do to the Japanese soldiers.

Even Lin Fan never interfered with him.

The young man had never said a word about the hardships he had endured over the years.

He had only one purpose in life: to kill Japanese soldiers!

These days, Xiao Dongbei had been following Lin Fan, and no fewer than ten Japanese soldiers had died under his bayonet.

Even more Japanese soldiers had died under his gun.

But Xiao Dongbei never felt like he had achieved great revenge.

He once said: The lives of a thousand Japanese soldiers are not worth a day of his family's life.

From this sentence, Lin Fan knew that Xiao Dongbei's whole life would be a life of revenge.

Xiao Dongbei taught Ji Jiahen, Liu Laopao taught Ji Guochou, and Lin Fan taught Ji Wudi; three teachers, three students.

They did not stop until these three students had stabbed the chests of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers they had collected full of holes.

Towards the end of the stabbing, Ji Wudi was already in tears, and no one knew why she was crying.

The soldiers who were watching this scene did not make a sound either.

Lin Fan loudly ordered: "What are you all doing standing here? Clean up the battlefield and prepare to move."

The soldiers quickly began to take action.

Ji Wudi wiped away her tears: "I'm going to lead Zhui Feng and Ta Xue over."

Zhui Feng (Chasing Wind) and Ta Xue (Treading Snow) were the names of their two donkeys.

Lin Fan said, "Xiao Dongbei, send two people to find the donkeys with them."

Then he said to Ji Wudi, "Remember: we are on the battlefield. No matter what we do, we must bring our comrades.

At least let our comrades be able to see you at any time.

No matter what!"

Ji Wudi's face turned red, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, and said softly like a mosquito, "Got it!"

Lin Fan continued to shout: "First Platoon and Third Platoon go to the left to find the mortars and shells.

Let Wu Xiaobao and Zhao Long come over."

In this ambush battle, the soldiers of the entire Special Company not only annihilated a Japanese company.

But also did not have a single injured person.

Such a record made every soldier very excited.

Li Xian was nothing but shocked in his heart.

He couldn't imagine what kind of immortal company this company was that he had actively requested to join.

A team of one hundred and thirty people dared to ambush a Japanese company.

And they didn't let a single Japanese soldier escape.

But now Li Xian couldn't fully express his emotions!

He was busy registering the items he had searched from the Japanese soldiers.

Lin Fan needed the photos, diaries, and everything that could prove their identities that these Japanese soldiers carried with them.

Ye Dadan came over with a lieutenant's saber: "Deputy Company Commander! Look at this saber!

It's a pity that the binoculars on his chest were blown up."

Li Xian said with a smile, "This kind of saber is rare!"

Ye Dadan happily said, "Yeah!"

After speaking, he hung the saber on his waist.

This battle had started suddenly and ended quickly.

Looking at the time, it was still less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

In any case, this place could not be stayed any longer.

Lin Fan looked at the chaotic appearance of this battlefield, thinking about how to hide it from the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

If the Japanese soldiers didn't send out a company to look for the missing platoon last night.

Then the disappearance of this company, wouldn't the Japanese soldiers send out all their troops?

According to the route provided by Ji Wudi, it would take at least three hours to get from this place to Hongqiao Airport.

Lin Fan ordered the entire company: "Quickly evacuate this battlefield and advance towards Xin Jing."

He said to Ji Wudi: "We have to change the way we go, we can't go the same way the Japanese soldiers just went.

We have to be concealed! The entire march must be able to hide the team.

Prevent being discovered by the Japanese planes in the sky."

Ji Wudi nodded, indicating that she understood.

She led Lin Fan, walking at the very front of the team.

This time, the speed of the team's march slowed down. The Special Company was not pursuing speed now.

It was just a normal march.

Lin Fan asked, "Can you speak Japanese?"

"A little bit!"

"How much is a little bit?" Lin Fan didn't understand.

"Basic conversation, reading and writing letters are no problem!" Ji Wudi didn't know why this company commander was asking so clearly about this matter.

"What about your sisters and brother?"

"They are like me. We all learned from our father and stepmother.

Father originally wanted to wait until my younger brother turned sixteen next year, and our whole family would study in Japan.

I didn't expect..."

As she spoke, tears fell again.

Lin Fan said in a low voice: "The matter has already passed. Today, the three of you siblings personally killed eleven Japanese soldiers.

It can be regarded as avenging your parents.

Don't be sad anymore.

At least don't cry anymore!"

Ji Wudi made a nasal sound: "Yeah!"

And then did not speak again.

Lin Fan continued: "It's good that you can speak Japanese.

You must carefully observe how the officers and soldiers in the Japanese army speak.

Their tone and expression when they speak.

In a while, I will equip all three of you siblings with lieutenant's sabers.

When you encounter Japanese soldiers, you have to put on a superior attitude."

"You want to deceive the Japanese soldiers?"

"Yes! You three usually practice more. If you can also teach the other soldiers in the company, that would be even better.

If everyone in our company can speak a little simple Japanese.

It will be most convenient for us to fight the Japanese soldiers."

"Like Sun Wukong sneaking into Princess Iron Fan's stomach to make trouble?" There was a hint of a smile in Ji Wudi's voice.

Lin Fan said with a clear conscience: "Yes! Think about it, more than a hundred of our monkeys sneaked into the Japanese army.

How much damage and loss can we cause them!"

Ji Wudi said with some surprise: "Can we only cause them damage and loss?"

Lin Fan understood what she didn't say: "We can only do this temporarily, but the more damage we cause to the Japanese soldiers.

They are not far from the time of their death.

Think about when you killed the Japanese soldiers just now, although every knife did not hit the vital point.

But those Japanese soldiers suffered more wounds, and just bleeding would bleed them to death.

It is the same for one person, and it is the same for a country.

As long as we continue to inflict harm on the Japanese soldiers and let these invaders continue to bleed.

They will eventually fail and be driven back to their hometown."
