They relentlessly hammered the Shiba Hideki battalion, which had come to launch a surprise attack.

Such an easy battle was what Fan Jinglue and the other newly enlisted soldiers excelled at.

Now, their morale was soaring as they fired into the smoke-filled battlefield.

As the morning breeze swept across, the smoke of battle slowly dissipated.

The Japanese soldiers crawling on the ground were completely exposed, which was especially advantageous for the First Company.

The First Company had overwhelming firepower, with heavy machine guns, machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers all targeting the Japanese soldiers.

They used grenades at close range. Seeing the Japanese soldiers unable to get up or move, Fan Jinglue and the others were so excited that their gun handling became much more nimble.

Company Commander Gui Wen clearly saw that there were few Japanese soldiers left who could fight back, and he shouted, "Charge!"

With a command, he took the lead, charging out of the trenches with his men.

All the soldiers of the First Company jumped out of the trenches and charged toward the Japanese soldiers.

Fan Jinglue and the newly enlisted soldiers also charged forward together.

They had clearly seen the situation: the Japanese soldiers opposite them might have been numerous when they first arrived, but now they were either dead or wounded, and the remaining Japanese soldiers had no fighting spirit at all.

Now, even they were not afraid to charge up and fight the Japanese soldiers in close combat.

In fact, Fan Jinglue was overthinking it. The squad leader was right in front of him, giving a live demonstration.

A Japanese soldier hastily got up from the ground. The gleaming bayonet on the front of his rifle was dazzling in the morning sunlight.

Without turning his head, the squad leader said, "Don't be afraid when you see a Japanese soldier. Estimate the distance between the two sides. When you reach the right position, put one foot in front and one foot behind.

Put force on your back foot, and that force will travel from your foot to your waist, and from your waist to your hand.

Use the force to thrust the rifle in your hand forward, and the Japanese soldier will die!"

Fan Jinglue saw that the Japanese soldier opposite him was doing the same action, but somehow, the squad leader's bayonet was faster and more ruthless, stabbing into the Japanese soldier's chest.

The squad leader continued, "After stabbing into the Japanese soldier's chest, rotate the hand on the gunstock half a circle, so the bayonet rolls around inside the Japanese soldier's body, then pull it back straight.

Even if the Japanese soldier is truly the son of a devil, he won't survive."

The squad leader pulled back his bayonet, and the Japanese soldier struggled to use his rifle to support himself, but he didn't fall.

The squad leader wasn't embarrassed at all, and continued to explain, "If one stab isn't enough, then give the Japanese soldier another stab in the same place.

Kill Japanese soldiers! There's nothing that two stabs can't solve. If there is, then give it a third stab.

Anyway, I haven't encountered a fourth stab needed since I've been on the battlefield for so long."

Fan Jinglue saw that the Japanese soldier from just now already had two fist-sized holes in the front of his chest, and blood was flowing out like a stream.

He could even see through to his back from here. The squad leader had spoken so calmly when explaining to him, but he was extremely fierce when he started fighting.

But he liked it. Fan Jinglue, as an experienced veteran, of course knew the principle of "kill the enemy, or be killed."

And on the battlefield, if he let the enemy off, it might not just harm him alone, but even the entire team.

Just then, the squad leader said, "Now that you've learned, give the Japanese soldier on the ground a finishing stab!"

Fan Jinglue agreed and casually stabbed a moaning Japanese soldier in the chest.

The squad leader smiled, "You have courage! But your method is wrong."

After speaking, he personally demonstrated, "Whether the Japanese soldiers on the ground are alive or dead, stab them all in the throat."

As he spoke, the bayonet in his hand didn't stop. In the blink of an eye, he pierced the throats of the three Japanese soldiers next to him, including the one he had just stabbed through the chest.

Seeing this, Fan Jinglue finally learned: with a stab like that, there probably wouldn't be a single survivor on the battlefield.

When he was experimenting just now, he had chosen a struggling Japanese soldier, but when the squad leader was demonstrating, he didn't choose at all, he stabbed each one in turn.

Although the First Company was facing an elite Japanese infantry battalion, these Japanese soldiers had first been bombed by directional mines, and then swept by a barrage of gunfire.

Now they were scrambling to get up and fight the First Company in close combat. Although this was what they had always wanted since they set out.

But now, Battalion Commander Shiba Hideki definitely didn't want to fight the First Company in close combat. He just wanted to retreat!

Unfortunately, Company Commander Gui Wen didn't give him and his battalion such a chance.

At this time, the sky was bright, the sun was shining, and the morning breeze was blowing. It wasn't as hot as it would be at noon, it was a good time for a gentle breeze.

More than a thousand meters behind the Shiba Hideki battalion, Military Police Captain Enyama Sousa could already see the battle in front very clearly.

He first felt unbearably hot, and sweat dripped continuously. Later, he felt a chill all over: he knew his mission was complete.

What his military policemen needed to consider now was not being a supervisory team, not supervising the Shiba Hideki battalion in front to ensure that no Japanese soldier would desert.

Now, thinking about it, the military policemen's top priority was to escape as quickly as possible and get back to deliver the message.

Captain Enyama Sousa was certain: the opposing Nationalist army would definitely not let a single Japanese soldier escape.

In fact, Military Police Captain Enyama Sousa was only there to supervise the Shiba Hideki battalion in person to learn.

Captain Enyama Sousa was an ambitious captain, and he wanted to observe firsthand on the battlefield how a truly elite team fought.

But he didn't expect that the Shiba Hideki battalion would only demonstrate to him how an elite team was beaten!

This reversal caught him off guard, and he was completely unprepared. Captain Enyama Sousa only saw the situation of the Shiba Hideki infantry battalion.

He didn't know that in other places, there were teams even more miserable than the Shiba Hideki battalion.

If you want to compare misery, the most miserable team was none other than Commander Shikata Don's Aikuang Team (Love Mining Team).

Its Aikuang Team was entirely composed of ordinary Japanese soldiers in Tianjialing. Although they didn't have much combat power, they had the largest number.

The Japanese soldiers in the entire Aikuang Team were vampires who followed the large Japanese army.

They didn't suck the blood of the Japanese army all the way, but sucked blood in every place the Japanese army occupied.

Relying on the support of the Japanese army behind them, these Japanese soldiers immediately seized the best locations and the best resources to start businesses wherever they went.

Like in Tianjialing, what these Japanese soldiers did was to acquire all the local small coal mines.

These ordinary Japanese soldiers couldn't get their hands on the large coal mines, which were the exclusive property of the big shots.

The small coal mines were the leftovers intentionally left by the big shots for these ordinary Japanese soldiers who were bold but had no capital.

As long as these ordinary Japanese soldiers were given a little bit of benefit, they would keep praising them and support them to continue to govern and continue to fight.

This was also why the war, which was originally planned for three months, had been fought for a full year and still hadn't reached the end, while the prices of goods in their islands soared, rising to the point where the government could no longer control them.

They even issued a price freeze order: all prices were not allowed to rise any further, and any further increase would be illegal, and the cost of illegality would of course be confiscation of materials and fines!

This made the Japanese domestic economy even worse: even merchants who had goods and wanted to hoard them were unwilling to sell their goods easily.

Because it was easy for them to sell them, but they couldn't get any more goods, and the price of raw materials was frozen, so they couldn't buy them at all, and there was no more production.

So in Japan, almost all civilian production was finished, and 70 percent of the entire gross national product was created by military factories.

The products they produced were all used by their own army to fight.

The Japanese people in the country worked every day like beasts of burden, but they still couldn't get enough to eat, and their living conditions had regressed by fifty years.

Even so, the crazy people in the islands were still crazily supporting the war.

This had a lot to do with the Japanese soldiers in the Aikuang Team: they followed behind the Japanese army, using tricks and force to seize the people's property. Then they gave some back to make the people in the islands feel like they were getting a bargain.

Uchiyama Yushu was one such Japanese soldier. Originally, he was the owner of a small store in the islands.

Before the war, he was doing well, so he ran his own small store with peace of mind and lived a comfortable life.

When the Japanese war of aggression began, Uchiyama Yushu actively donated money twice, donating a month's profit each time.

But his enthusiasm was quickly awakened by reality. There was more than just enthusiasm in a businessman's mind, and the calculations in his nature finally began to rise after half a year.

At this time, Uchiyama Yushu realized that although the prices of the things sold in his store had increased since the start of the war.

But he was losing money again and again. There was no other reason, just because the speed at which he raised prices couldn't keep up with the speed at which the purchase price increased.

In this case, Uchiyama Yushu had to prepare to close the store. The goods left in the store would still be needed by his own family.

But: an embarrassing scene happened to him. His store was not allowed to close, which meant that no matter how much money he lost, the store had to stay open.

Otherwise, he would have his goods confiscated, be fined, and be arrested to work in the mines. Uchiyama Yushu also thought about marking the goods with a sky-high price so that everyone would see that they couldn't afford them.

However, the price freeze law came out, no matter what your purchase price was, the selling price could not be increased.

Uchiyama Yushu was so anxious that he almost jumped into the sea. Just as he reached the seaside, he suddenly thought of the war of aggression on the other side of the sea.

War was a feast for warmongers. He certainly wasn't qualified to be at the table, but he could still crawl under the table and pick up a few bones to gnaw on after the victory on the front lines.

From the beginning, Uchiyama Yushu never thought about joining the Japanese army. He didn't want to do things that would cost him his life. He was just an ordinary businessman.

So Uchiyama Yushu took all the cash in his house and left his wife and children to guard the store. He followed a group of Japanese soldiers who wanted to get rich to Tianjialing.

Sure enough, there were opportunities everywhere here. After the Japanese army occupied a place, they were very supportive of their fellow countrymen from the islands.

Uchiyama Yushu took a fancy to a house in Tianjialing Town. After giving Commander Shikata Don a hundred yuan, the house was requisitioned by the Aikuang Team from its original owner.

Then it became Uchiyama Yushu's private residence. After he had a place to live, he finally took a fancy to three small coal mines after inspecting them. So the original owners of these three small coal mines were arrested for communicating with the enemy.

Now no one knows where they are, and the three small coal mines have become Uchiyama Yushu's cash cows.

All the Japanese soldiers in the entire Aikuang Team were like this. The coal mines produced by their small coal mines needed to be sold uniformly through Commander Kami no To Yūsuke.

After Commander Kami no To Yūsuke completed the tasks set by the North China Front Army every month, he could sell the excess output to the brokers who needed it at a high price.

As for where these brokers transported these coals to sell, Commander Kami no To Yūsuke didn't care at all. As long as the money was in hand, everything was not a problem.

This morning, Uchiyama Yushu, who had never thought about going to the battlefield, still went to the battlefield.

All the people around him were his fellow villagers and accomplices who usually did business with him. This time, Uchiyama Yushu didn't give Commander Shikata Don money.

However, Commander Shikata this time did not accept money, but only accepted people, and he also ordered fiercely, "All Japanese soldiers can only charge forward in this battle, and cannot retreat.

There are military police supervising the battle behind you. Even if you are injured, you can only retreat after the battle is over."

If there was one person that Uchiyama Yushu and the other Japanese businessmen were afraid of, it was Military Police Captain Enyama Sousa.

These businessmen did not like this ruthless Japanese soldier. He accepted money, he also accepted people, but he would not get things done.

Knowing that there were military police supervising the battle behind them, the five thousand Japanese soldiers of the Aikuang Team wailed. They were all smart Japanese soldiers.

None of the Japanese soldiers who could accurately seize the opportunity to follow the Japanese army to suck blood and make money were fools. They were very courageous.

But their courage was put on making money. In order to make money, these Japanese soldiers could do business with the Nationalist army, and they could do business with the guerrillas.

But this did not mean that they were willing to fight the Nationalist army on the battlefield. Even if they were fighting the guerrillas, they were unwilling.

However, they could not help but fight this battle today.

The Aikuang Team was the largest number of Japanese soldiers who launched the attack this morning. The objects they launched the attack on were not just one company.

In fact, they were divided into four battalions, and at the same time launched a surprise attack on the four companies of the First Regiment.

The Japanese surprise attack in the darkest time before dawn had been discovered by the First Regiment.

The traps had been set up long ago. Discovering it earlier only allowed the companies to enter the trenches earlier and prepare earlier.

Company Commander He Feiyu of the Tenth Company looked at these Japanese soldiers who were charging up. Company Commander He, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could tell at a glance that these Japanese soldiers were not soldiers who had undergone strict training.

These charging Japanese soldiers were wearing all kinds of clothes. Some Japanese soldiers were wearing suits, some were wearing robes and mandarin jackets, and some were wearing military uniforms. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that these Japanese soldiers were put together temporarily.

Commander Shikata Don had no choice. Its Aikuang Team was beaten to pieces by the First Regiment, and the loss was so great that only one battalion was left.

It had taken him a lot of thought to gather enough weapons for these newly replenished Japanese soldiers. As for unifying the clothing, there were not so many reserves in Tianjialing at all.

That's why its team was like this, launching a charge towards the Special Operations Brigade's camp like bandits.

Up to now, Uchiyama Yushu was still somewhat stable: at least he had already rushed to 100 meters in front of the trenches, and he had not seen any movement from the Nationalist army opposite.

Now he only prayed to Amaterasu Omikami to bless that the opposite side was an empty camp, and that he would not encounter a single Nationalist army soldier.

This was not just the wish of one Japanese soldier. All the Japanese soldiers around him thought the same way.

Imagination was always beautiful, and the reality of cruelty had long exceeded their imagination.

Uchiyama Yushu had been maintaining a stable mentality. He had already rushed to a distance of 50 meters from the trenches, and had not found a single figure of the Nationalist army.

He had not even found any traces of the Nationalist army's activities. This gave the Aikuang Team, these temporary Japanese soldiers, a lot of imagination.

They were not regular soldiers. They did not have the strict military discipline of the Shiba Hideki battalion. This temporarily assembled team accelerated its pace of charging, and also shouted.

These shouts were not for killing the enemy, but only to embolden themselves. Although there were thousands of Japanese soldiers accompanying them, although the opposite side looked empty, Uchiyama Yushu was still afraid in his heart.

The Japanese soldiers around him were all equally afraid. When they were afraid, they had to make some noise, shout it out, and show that they were not afraid.

This was to anesthetize themselves. When they believed that they were not afraid, they would really not be afraid.

This was how the Japanese soldiers of the Aikuang Team who were charging were now. They shouted as they charged.

Fu Yuanwei was a new recruit who had just joined the Tenth Company yesterday. There were as many as 230 new recruits who joined the Tenth Company with him.

They looked at the Japanese soldiers charging up on the opposite side, as many as a thousand, and their hearts were pounding like drums: how could they fight so many Japanese soldiers?

More importantly: Company Commander He Feiyu also ordered everyone not to fire without an order.

In order to prevent these new recruits from misfiring, he even ordered them not to load their guns. In this way, no matter how nervous they were, they could not fire a bullet even if they pulled the trigger.

But so many Japanese soldiers had already rushed to a distance of 50 meters!

At such a close distance, with so many Japanese soldiers, Fu Wuwu believed that he could hit a Japanese soldier with a random shot.

But without an order, they were not allowed to fire!

He looked at Li Hongye, who was beside him. This was a veteran. He had fought more than a dozen battles.

Looking at Li Hongye next to him, his expression was only excitement, and his face was still slightly red.

Li Hongye felt the new recruit next to him staring at him, turned his head and whispered, "What are you looking at me for? Look ahead, don't blink, there's a good show to watch."

"What good show?" When people are nervous, having someone talk to them can distract them, so they won't be so nervous.

Although Fu Yuanwei didn't know this principle, he was attracted by Li Hongye's words.

The new recruit on the other side of Li Hongye was also very nervous, and he was also attracted and asked, "Brother Li, what's the good show?"

Li Hongye said with a smile, "The Japanese soldiers have entered our trap, and they are about to suffer."

"Trap? We only dug these trenches yesterday! I saw clearly that no one went to dig a pit in the direction the Japanese soldiers were coming from.

Brother Li, did you dig the pit after it got dark last night?"

Qiu Hongzhi thought a lot. He asked a series of questions, thinking in his heart: so they secretly dug a pit outside, without letting us new recruits know.

If anyone of us ran away last night, we would definitely fall into the pit.

Li Hongye didn't dare to laugh loudly, so he could only hold back his laughter, and nodded repeatedly.

The veteran soldiers of the Tenth Company next to them all had the same expression.

Fortunately, the Japanese soldiers of the Aikuang Team, although not very courageous, were still big enough in their steps.

They only took a short time to go from a distance of 50 meters to 20 meters.

Fu Yuanwei's face turned pale. At this time, he wanted to stand up and run away, but he felt his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up.

He looked at the veteran soldiers of the Tenth Company, all of them had smiles on their faces.

At this time, a loud voice echoed in this space: "Blast!"

The sound of explosions of "Rumble! Rumble!" was endless. The air that was still cool was stirred up by the suddenly erupting sound, and seemed to be getting hot.

Fu Yuanwei finally saw the good show: all of them, the new recruits, had to admit that it was a good show, and it was also a trap, although it wasn't a pit!

Qiu Hongzhi now understood that sometimes a trap was not a pit, but it could hold more than a pit.

In his life, he had said countless times: the most capable of pretending in the world was the trap of the Tenth Company, which pretended to be more than a thousand Japanese soldiers at once.

They, the new recruits, under the reminder of the veteran soldiers of the Tenth Company, all saw that when the Japanese soldiers stepped into the 20-meter distance, the company commander gave an order.

Suddenly, countless flashes of fire flashed in front of the position.

The Japanese soldiers in front of the position, like ants in a pot, were thrown up and fell to the ground.

Although this scene was quickly covered up by the smoke and dust caused by the explosion.

But this scene, like an engraving, was deeply engraved in the minds of every new recruit.

Company Commander He Feiyu did not stop after issuing the first order.

The second order was issued immediately: "Charge!"

Li Hongye heard clearly, and immediately stood up, jumped out of the trench and shouted loudly: "Charge!"

All the veteran soldiers of the Tenth Company stood up and jumped out of the trench: "Charge!"

Fu Yuanwei, Qiu Hongzhi and the other new recruits had thrown the fear they had a few seconds ago to Java.

They had personally seen that although there were many Japanese soldiers charging up, even more Japanese soldiers had just fallen. They were best at fighting this kind of easy battle.

These new recruits only hesitated for a moment, and immediately stood up and shouted in a louder voice: "Charge!"

They were one step slower when they stood up, so they wanted to run faster when they charged, so as to make up for the difference of this one step just now.

For them, these new recruits who had just been transformed from the puppet army, there were still the customs of the puppet army in their minds: because of the fear just now, because they were one step slower just now, now they had to speed up their pace and rush to the front of those veteran soldiers to show the courage of these people.

Fu Yuanwei had already used his fastest speed. He dared to swear that even when he ran away a few days ago, he had not run so fast.

But to his disappointment: the one-step difference just now, under his full sprint, not only did not narrow the gap, but the distance between him and Li Hongye became even greater.

On the entire battlefield, in the charging team of the Tenth Company, there was immediately a clear dividing line: all the veteran soldiers were charging in the front, and after this line of one or two meters behind them, were the new recruits who had just joined.

There was no way: this was the difference in strength!
