Chapter 1 The Desperate Situation

Fu Dequan, the platoon leader currently charging forward, was also experienced. He was a veteran transferred from the front-line combat troops to serve as a platoon leader.

He heard the gunfire from the covering fire behind him thinning out, and knew that the next two or three seconds would be the most difficult to endure.

He shouted loudly to the soldiers who were charging, "Prepare to suppress the enemy's firepower!"

"Fire!" Platoon Leader Fu ordered the shooting to begin just as the enemy was raising their heads.

When the covering fire from behind weakened, it was the moment the enemy in front would raise their heads to shoot. At that moment, Platoon Leader Fu ordered the entire platoon to open fire.

Fourteen submachine guns fired simultaneously, suppressing the enemy's firepower.

Sergeant Nakatani Akashi clearly heard the order from Captain Mizui Kazuma. Upon receiving the order, he immediately raised his head from the trench and saw the woman charging across the river.

Without hesitation, he opened fire on the woman. In this situation, aiming was unnecessary; he only needed to shoot at the charging soldiers based on instinct.

As he fired, the charging soldiers on the river also opened fire. Bullets struck the edge of the trench incessantly, and everywhere, bullets hit the ground, scattering dirt.

As Sergeant Nakatani Akashi was about to fire his second shot, a bullet hit him, and he fell backward.

Corporal Shijugo Ryota, like him, heard the captain's order, but after firing only one shot, he was frightened by the bullets constantly landing around him. He didn't dare to raise his head, simply burying it deeply in the trench. After firing one shot,

he pulled the bolt back to reload and then put the rifle back on the trench. At this moment, he saw Nakatani Akashi fall backward, right at his feet, the bullet hole in his forehead gurgling with blood.

Corporal Shijugo Ryota hurriedly placed his gun on the trench and fired another shot like that. Because he didn't dare to expose himself, the muzzle pointed diagonally upwards, aiming very high. Regardless, he managed to fire the bullet and remain alive.

After two or three seconds, the First Company behind them had reloaded their magazines, and a new round of fierce gunfire erupted once again.

When the sound of gunfire behind him intensified again, Platoon Leader Fu ordered, "Charge!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the entire platoon finally rushed onto the riverbank. Although it was still open ground, it was much better than being in the river.

Ji Wudi didn't stop after reaching the riverbank but instead increased her charging speed. With a dozen or so meters left, her charging force had already built up initial momentum; this distance could be covered in just over a second.

She held a gun in one hand and took out a grenade with the other, throwing it into the trench directly ahead. This was to clear a safe zone for herself to charge into the trench.

Ji Wudi didn't stop throwing grenades, tossing three of them ahead. There were three to four seconds between throwing the grenade and its explosion.

At this moment, she had to lie prone on the ground, waiting for the explosion. Platoon Leader Fu clearly understood her intention.

He shouted loudly, "Down! Grenades!"

"Boom! Boom!" The soldiers of the First Platoon all fell to the ground upon hearing the order, taking out grenades and throwing them towards the trench ahead.

The soldiers of the First Company, who were providing cover for the First Platoon, had received Company Commander Jing's order at this time: "Charge!"

All the soldiers of the company jumped out of their hiding places and began to charge.

Ji Wudi waited until the grenades exploded, then darted into the trench, thrusting her bayonet into the throat of Shijugo Ryota, who was still struggling in the trench.

Platoon Leader Fu led the entire platoon in, loudly ordering, "Finish off the enemies! Search and advance along the trench, and watch out for enemies hiding around corners."

His platoon didn't have much combat experience, so the platoon leader needed to explain everything they needed to consider.

Ji Wudi had already charged horizontally to the left side of the trench. Platoon Leader Fu quickly led several soldiers to follow.

At this time, they realized just how efficient Captain Ji was at killing enemies. Every enemy corpse in her path had an extra hole.

Captain Ji's body never stayed in one position for more than a second. Her entire body moved forward, and even those behind her couldn't accurately predict where she would step next.

"No wonder she has a higher position than the division commander." Platoon Leader Fu greatly envied Captain Ji's skill. He knew that the gap between him and Captain Ji was too great.

At this time, First Company Commander Jing Liquan had already led his troops up, and the heavy machine gun had also been carried across the river by the soldiers and was being pushed into the trench.

Battalion Commander Inoue Zaemon received the report that Captain Mizui Kazuma's defense line had been lost and immediately ordered Captain Hasegawa Ryunosuke to retake the position.

He wanted to retake this defense line before the arrival of Major Yamashita Daisuke's battalion. Otherwise, how he had mocked the 45th Regiment yesterday would be how Major Yamashita Daisuke would mock him today.

Receiving Battalion Commander Inoue's order, Captain Hasegawa Ryunosuke didn't dare to delay and immediately ordered the entire company to charge towards the defense line at Xiucai Ridge.

The First Company's defense line was the first to be breached. After issuing the order, Regiment Commander Shi Junxia ordered the reserve troops, the Sixth and Seventh Companies, to move towards this direction immediately.

The First Company, which had just broken through the enemy's first line of defense in the direction of Xiucai Ridge, was now advancing further into the enemy's territory.

However, they hadn't reached the enemy's second line of defense before encountering Captain Hasegawa Ryunosuke's company.

Encountering this group of enemies was somewhat unexpected for the First Company. However, Captain Hasegawa Ryunosuke's company knew they would encounter the National Revolutionary Army troops during their advance.

They came prepared. When the vanguard of both sides encountered each other while marching down the mountain, Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita loudly ordered, "Immediately seize the high ground on the left!"

When narrow paths meet, the brave win!

The enemy's first thought was to seize the high ground, as commanding the high ground made defense easier.

Ji Wudi and First Platoon Leader Li Quan, who were at the forefront of the First Company, were about a hundred meters away when they encountered each other. Ji Wudi ordered, "Charge!"

With a single step, she darted forward like an arrow.

The highest commander of the entire troop had already charged forward first. What could Platoon Leader Li say? He immediately ordered, "Everyone in the platoon, charge!"

At the same time, he ordered the soldier carrying the communicator, "Immediately report to the company commander that the First Platoon has encountered an enemy squad and is attacking them. Request the company to catch up quickly."

After issuing the order, he sprinted with all his might. At this time, Ji Wudi had already gotten much closer.

Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita's squad also had over fifty enemies. Seeing that the number of troops charging towards them was about the same as their own, Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita no longer insisted on occupying the mountain top high ground.

He immediately ordered, "Set up a defensive line on the spot! Open fire!"

Ji Wudi had already charged to within thirty meters of the enemy. Seeing that they were no longer continuing to climb to the top of the mountain but were instead lying prone on the ground,

she knew that the enemy was about to open fire!

Without waiting for the enemy to fire, Ji Wudi's submachine gun fired first: "Da da da! Da da da!"

Her first targets weren't the riflemen who were quickly lying down, but the two machine gunners who were moving slowly with their guns.

The two enemies staggered, dropping their machine guns on the ground. The remaining enemies opened fire at this time: "Bang! Bang!"

Ji Wudi crouched down, crawling on the ground, and quickly approached the enemy, throwing two grenades at the same time.

She had already charged into Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita's defensive line. Matsushima Kentaro saw a female soldier charging toward him.

He roared and stood up, raising his bayonet-mounted rifle and thrusting it at her back.

Platoon Leader Li, seeing this scene from afar, was so frightened that his heart stopped beating. He was thirty meters away; he was afraid of accidentally hitting Captain Ji if he opened fire.

But if he didn't shoot, he was afraid that Captain Ji would be stabbed in the back. Judging from the force of this stab, if it hit, it would definitely go in through her chest and out through her back.

Platoon Leader Li Quan was really stumped this time. He couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Many of the charging soldiers saw this scene. These soldiers' eyes turned red, and they could only try to increase their charging speed, to make it even faster.

Just at this moment, Ji Wudi seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. Her petite figure suddenly moved sideways by two chi, facing away from Matsushima Kentaro, while simultaneously stepping forward, causing his full-force stab to miss.

The submachine gun in her hand was still firing a burst at the enemies charging towards her from the front: "Da! Da da! Da da da!"

After shooting down three enemies charging from the front, she then took two quick steps forward, causing Matsushima Kentaro, whose first stab had missed, to miss again with his second stab.

Only then did Ji Wudi turn around. As she turned, the muzzle of the submachine gun, using the momentum of the turn, flicked forward, and with a "snap!" the bayonet was fixed.

Matsushima Kentaro had stabbed twice from behind but hadn't managed to injure the woman in front of him at all, and he felt a great urgency.

He roared again, pulled back his gun, and prepared to stab again!

Just then, he saw the woman turn around. First, he saw the woman's curvaceous figure, and then he looked at her delicate and fair face, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He was momentarily stunned: This woman is so beautiful!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the beautiful woman's submachine gun draw an arc, heading towards his neck.

Only then did Matsushima Kentaro suddenly wake up: This is the battlefield! It's a fight to the death! How could he be mesmerized by this woman's beauty?

Thoughts were fast; he could think through his entire life in an instant, but actions had to follow the laws of nature. Matsushima Kentaro's hands holding the rifle only symbolically raised it to block.

Before the rifle could be raised into position, his neck was already cold, followed by a "hissing" sound, and his neck was no longer cold.

Fresh blood gushed out from the severed carotid artery.

Matsushima Kentaro quickly dropped his gun and tightly clutched his neck with both hands, trying to strangle himself, as if he wanted to choke himself to death.

Ji Wudi ignored this enemy, continuing to spin back around, using the inertia of her turn.

Her entire movement was smooth and flowing. In the eyes of Platoon Leader Li and the charging soldiers with red eyes, this scene was like this: The captain fired a quick burst of one-two-three from the front, killing three enemies, then spun around in a three-hundred-sixty-degree circle as if dancing.

With a movement that everyone couldn't see clearly, she attached the bayonet to the submachine gun, cut open the neck of the enemy who had been chasing her from behind, and returned to her original position without any delay.

She continued to charge forward.

Ji Wudi's actions of killing three enemies from the front and one enemy from behind in the blink of an eye were seen not only by the soldiers of the First Platoon.

Sergeant Saito Yusuke also saw it, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "Devil! Devil!"

He was less than ten meters away from Ji Wudi. He clearly saw all of her movements just now and could also see the delicate and beautiful face and the undulating figure of the woman in front of him.

This woman's body and her movements were both beautiful, but what she was doing now completely deprived Saito Yusuke of his fighting spirit.

He stammered, "Devil!"

while throwing away the rifle in his hand and staggering backward. Sergeant Saito Yusuke didn't even have the courage to turn around and run away, just facing Ji Wudi like that.

Seeing her charging forward, getting closer and closer to him, he was so frightened that he waved his hands wildly in front of his chest: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"

Like a young girl who had been blocked by a bad guy, he widened his eyes, horrified to see that his resistance had no effect.

Ji Wudi's charging speed was very fast, but it was still not as fast as Saito Yusuke's speed of falling backward.

His eyes rolled upwards, revealing the whites, and he fell backward.

This enemy was actually scared to death by Ji Wudi.

Ji Wudi had nothing but hatred in her heart for the enemy, and no other emotions. Although this enemy was scared to death by her,

Ji Wudi's mood was calm. When she passed by this enemy, the bayonet on the submachine gun flicked at the carotid artery, and the familiar "hissing" sound rang out. A stream of blood spurted out far away, carrying a gorgeous red-black color under the sunlight.

At this time, the soldiers of the First Platoon finally rushed up with red eyes, no longer needing Captain Ji to single-handedly withstand all the pressure of the enemy squad in front.

Platoon Leader Li was a little late in coming up because he had to request reinforcements from the company commander, but the soldiers of the First Platoon wouldn't wait for him.

Under Ji Wudi's leadership, they had already charged towards the few remaining enemies.

Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita looked at the soldiers charging towards him and still didn't understand: It was clear that his squad had the upper hand, having occupied this high ground first.

How could the situation suddenly change?

His squad had not only completely lost its advantage, but its numbers had also been reduced by half, and the enemy had already charged up to them.

Now he had no choice but to draw his command saber and loudly order, "Fix bayonets!"

"Banzai!"

As a commander, Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita was qualified, at least his observation skills were qualified.

He could see that the one who had caused his team to fall into this desperate situation from beginning to end was the beautiful woman charging in the front.

Women are tigers! This saying was not false at all.

If Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita were to say it at this time: Women are much more powerful than tigers.

No matter how powerful a tiger is, it is impossible to kill more than a dozen well-trained soldiers under his command in such a short period of time.

But the beautiful woman in front of him had done it.

"Kill her!" Squad Leader Kobayashi Eita said, pointing at Ji Wudi. Ji Wudi's beautiful face and sexy figure were the most terrifying existence in his eyes.

Hearing Squad Leader Kobayashi's order, the two enemies, Shiina Emon and Ishida Tatsuya, immediately rushed up from the left and right.

They knew who the squad leader was talking about: the woman charging in the front.

Her movements were agile, even more nimble than her teacher's steps. This was Shiina Emon's thought. Before going to the battlefield, he was already a well-known swordsman.

His teacher told him to come to the battlefield to find his sword heart. Shiina Emon had never lost in close combat on the battlefield.

This woman was the first most powerful opponent he had encountered on the battlefield. Shiina Emon and Ishida Tatsuya rushed up from the left and right.

Ishida Tatsuya thrust the rifle in his hand straight at Ji Wudi's chest. He knew that Shiina Emon was an expert, and he only needed to focus on outputting damage.

At the same time, Shiina Emon's rifle stabbed out as well. Ji Wudi slid her body to the side of Shiina Emon, and her hand pulled the submachine gun outwards, planning to deflect one enemy's rifle to interfere with the other rifle.

What she didn't expect was that the rifle in front of her came like an arrow, and the enemy actually let go of the rifle like an arrow.

The bayonet on the rifle was deflected by her, turning towards the other gun.

But the butt of the gun was like the tail of a venomous snake, suddenly spinning around and smashing towards her.

Ji Wudi was encountering this situation for the first time, and it was too late to block. She glanced expressionlessly at the enemy with the rifle, then slightly exerted force forward with the submachine gun in her hand, adding her own strength to this "arrow."

But her body took a big step backward without warning. She was clearly sprinting with all her strength just now. How could she have made such a move that completely defied the laws of physics?

Ishida Tatsuya's eyes widened. He never expected that Shiina Emon's rifle would be like a curved arrow, diagonally inserting itself into his chest from his right side, firmly piercing his chest.

Ishida Tatsuya reacted very quickly. He quickly let go of his rifle, and his hands pushed forward, steadily holding the rifle that had been inserted into his chest.

Then he began to retreat quickly! He knew clearly in his heart: before finding a doctor, this gun could not be pulled out of his chest.

As long as this gun was pulled out, he would be dead unless he had immediate surgery.

Ji Wudi did not take advantage of the enemy's weakness. She had already stopped her charging steps, standing with her feet neither too close nor too far apart.

Her beautiful eyes stared at the enemy in front of her who had thrown away his rifle and drawn his sword.

This sword was ancient in shape, with a cold and awe-inspiring light. The white light on the blade shone with a small, scaly, and pale light, and this light flowed like a wave.

Ji Wudi was sure: the enemy's hand was very steady, very steady, without a trace of shaking, but the cold light on the sword in his hand was flowing.

"Good sword!" This was the first sentence Ji Wudi had said to the enemy when facing the enemy.

The sound of her voice was very clear, like a white bird singing.
