Rise From Eight Hundred

The three anxious scouts led by Lu Zhongda arrived at the battlefield after running for nearly 35 minutes.

The three fully armed soldiers took only 35 minutes to run nearly 8 kilometers of mountain roads. They definitely set a new record for the fully armed cross-country of the entire Sihang Group, and no one could break it for a long time.

But it was still too late!

The battle was over!

It was not yet 9 o'clock, and the warm morning sun shone on the three soldiers who were sweating like pulp, but looking at the scene in front of them, the three soldiers felt cold all over.

The 16-year-old boy, whose feet had been worn out and whose clothes had long been tattered by mountain thorns, stared blankly ahead!

Yes, the scene in front of him was too tragic, so tragic that it far exceeded the psychological endurance limit of the 16-year-old boy.

The once beautiful and peaceful Shayue Valley is still beautiful. The scarlet and khaki colors scattered everywhere on the top of the mountain, the hillside, and the mountain road look more like a picture soaked in the deep autumn colors from a distance.

It's just that at this time of year, the azaleas have not yet bloomed, and the maple leaves have not yet been frosted!

It's not that there are no survivors, but there are too few compared to the ones gathered before he set out!

Less than 300 meters away from the four of them, the surviving villagers silently carried the bodies of their relatives they found, even if they were injured and weak, even if the mountain was steep and they would fall after walking a few steps, but they still bit their lips and stood up silently, continuing to carry the bodies forward!

No one can help them, there are too few living people and too many dead people!

Even those who are still alive have long been soaked in blood!

It was such a group of people who struggled hard until they sent the bodies to the flat land on the top of the mountain!

There were corpses everywhere!

They were neatly arranged, and there were at least 200 bodies in the distance!

"Ah~~~" The 16-year-old boy looked at the scene in front of him, and after being stunned for more than 30 seconds, he knelt down fiercely and let out a long howl that was not like a human at the distant mountain!

This blow was too great for the teenager.

When Yeyue Village went to the Shayue Valley, there were 400 young men, ranging in age from 14 to 40, almost covering all the male playmates, brothers, fathers, uncles, and uncles of the 16-year-old boy.

And the shocking remains of the tribe that were found and placed together also completely meant that the 16-year-old boy would lose most of his male relatives and friends in this battle alone.

You say, how can a 16-year-old boy not be heartbroken and grief-stricken?

Compared with the teenager, Lu Zhongda and the other two soldiers have experienced countless battlefields after all. They don’t know how many scenes of corpses they have seen, and the shock in their hearts is still much smaller.

After a brief shock, they are more looking for the traces of the Japanese army that should have retreated and the figures of their two comrades.

After all, even if they add the three of them with three guns, it is difficult to deal with hundreds of Japanese soldiers. Only when the other three groups come, maybe they can barely stop them.

In fact, they and Shen Laoliu had the same idea that they must not let this group of Japanese soldiers escape into the mountains. The three lines of defense in Jindong would put their main forces into the front of their respective battlefields. After they had no spare strength to defend the wider lines of defense, if they were attacked by this group of Japanese soldiers to the logistics units, the losses would be extremely heavy.

Tracking the Japanese invaders may be what they are about to do.

And the safety of Shen Laoliu and Zhang San is even more of their concern. If Shen Laoliu and Zhang San died here, the loss to the reconnaissance company would be huge.

But the situation that made Lu Zhongda's heart sink constantly appeared.

In addition to the Japanese corpses left on the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers disappeared, and what was more painful was that until now, he had not seen the two familiar figures in camouflage uniforms appear!

"Don't cry, little chicken! We won, you should be happy!" A guy who was full of blood and still dripping blood came over with a mountain villager's remains on his back.

The boy, with tears on his face, looked up at the person who was speaking. He rubbed his eyes hard and finally recognized the young man in front of him, but he cried out in grief: "Brother Ayan! But many of us died, many of us died!"

"Asshole, what's the use of your howling? Come and help me carry Ayu. This bastard said he was hungry every day, but he was so heavy that I could hardly carry him." Long Yan scolded loudly.

"Brother Ayu!" Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, but he dared not neglect to get up and carefully took the soft remains from Long Yan.

It was not until then that Lu Zhongda and the two soldiers discovered that the young man in front of them had two wounds on his thigh and arm. When he struggled a little, blood kept pouring out.

If I guessed correctly, it should be the stab wound caused by the Type 38 bayonet!

The three scouts knew the ferocity of the Type 38 bayonet. Once the blade entered the body and was stirred by force, it could cause a large amount of blood loss in an instant, making people lose the ability to continue fighting!

But this guy in front of him, who was stabbed in the thigh and arm, was able to move freely and carry a body weighing hundreds of kilograms. His mental will was really strong.

The three soldiers stood in awe!

"Brother, we are the comrades of Shen Laoliu and Zhang San! I want to know where the Japanese ran to?" Lu Zhongda asked hurriedly after introducing himself.

"Japanese?" Long Yan, who was a little depressed, curled his lips. "They have no chance to run!"

"Huh?" The three soldiers were stunned.

"Aren't they all here?"

"What?" The three soldiers were all stunned.

The villagers suffered heavy casualties, which was completely within their expectations.

The officers and soldiers of the Four-line Regiment, who had fought against the Japanese infantry countless times, knew the combat power level of the Japanese infantry.

Let alone more than 200 people, even 100 people would not have a big problem against an ordinary Chinese infantry company with Hanyang-made rifles, not to mention a group of ordinary mountain people with bird guns and machetes.

On the way here, Lu Zhongda had already asked the young leader about the equipment of the villagers. When they heard that there were only long swords and bird guns plus a few rifles and Mauser pistols, their hearts had already cooled.

As a result, the guy in front of him actually said that they suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese were completely wiped out!

Could it be that the Japanese were not more than 200, but only dozens?

"What's so difficult about this? The biggest mistake of the Japanese was that they shouldn't fight with us with swords." Looking at the disbelief on the faces of the three soldiers, Long Yan's face was full of heroism. "Of course, Brother Liu is also great, I admire him!"

"What happened to Shen Laoliu?" Lu Zhongda was shocked.

After a bloody battle, as a soldier, being praised without seeing the person is definitely not a good thing.

"He is injured, my sister is taking care of him!" Long Yan's words made the three soldiers feel relieved.

It's okay if he is not killed on the spot. Injury is common for soldiers.

However, when they saw their comrades under the leadership of Long Yan, they found that they were too optimistic.

Shen Laoliu was not just injured, he was seriously injured and dying! Even when Lu Zhongda shouted loudly in shock and anger, he only moved a finger.

Because his injury was too serious, so serious that he even used up all his strength to breathe.

A Type 38 bayonet connected to a Type 38 rifle pierced directly into his chest!

The woman kneeling beside him with tears in her eyes and Zhang San, who was sweating profusely in anxiety, did not dare to pull out the gun at all, fearing that he would die immediately if they pulled it out.

The three older villagers around him chewed some grass leaves desperately with their mouths, and then applied these grass leaves around the blade to stop the bleeding.

Although it was basically useless.

At that moment, Lu Zhongda felt his head buzzing!

He knew in his heart that such an injury could not be cured by grass leaves, and even if he was on the operating table of the medical company and performed by those blond and blue-eyed Western doctors, he might not be able to survive.

The top three snipers in the reconnaissance company, Mingxin’s best partner, and his old comrade-in-arms, might not live long.

"What the hell, what's going on, Lao Liu is a shooter, he has a semi-automatic rifle and a pistol, how could he participate in hand-to-hand combat." Lu Zhongda, who was cold all over, almost roared to question the fire support hand who also had several knife wounds on his body.

"Squad leader Lu, you don't know, the battle just now was so tragic..." Zhang San said with a strong cry.

The Japanese army that completely abandoned the left wing finally rushed up the mountain with about 180 people, and the villagers who came to fight were about 240 people!

Just as the Japanese underestimated the power of the Jiuli sword, the villagers of Yeyue Village also underestimated the power of the Japanese stabbing.

The Japanese army in groups of three people were mainly for attack and defense, and the 1.75-meter-long bayonets brought the advantage of "one inch longer, one inch stronger" to the extreme.

Longyan and a few strong men in the village could crush their opponents in a one-on-one fight, but they were also helpless when they encountered a group of three Japanese soldiers. That's how Longyan got the knife on his thigh.

If it weren't for the two playmates who followed him and chopped hard to force the Japanese army to retreat, I'm afraid the wound on Longyan's thigh would not be as big as it is now, and his whole leg might have been disabled.

In other words, even though Yeyue Village had more people and their swordsmanship and sabers were sharp enough, they were still at a disadvantage when they encountered Japanese infantrymen with strict tactical discipline and superb stabbing skills.

This was when many Japanese soldiers were stung by wasps and injured by shrapnel from "flowering bombs". If the Japanese army was in its prime, it would be even more difficult!

If nothing unexpected happened, these 240 people and 180 Japanese soldiers would fight with pure cold weapons, and in the end, basically all 240 people would die in the battle, and the Japanese army would win a miserable victory.

This result was actually the best result for Captain Haruta Yumono, who was killed by Longyan's crazy sword at that time.

At that time, he had no other thoughts, he just wanted to kill all the fierce Chinese mountain people in front of him, and then leave this place far away.

What interspersed, attacked, harassed, it was all bullshit, he wanted to leave here, no matter where he went, he had to hide until the end of the whole war, and he would admit it even if he went to the military court after returning.

As for the left wing, the Japanese army did not attack, but that did not mean there was no defense. They still left ten seriously injured riflemen and eight machine gunners on the mountain road. Two 92 heavy machine guns and four light machine guns still had enough ammunition.

Any infantry who dared to attack their defense line would only die!

But they were wrong. The Chinese on the left wing went down the mountain!

More than 60 people, like running antelopes, rushed down from a skirmish line more than 300 meters wide!

The 6 machine guns had done their best, and the crazy firepower swept at least one-third of the dozens of people who rushed down.

But among these more than 60 people, there was actually a Chinese sharpshooter who made people gnashing their teeth.

Using the machine gunner's undisguised shooting, the Chinese sharpshooter also shot them to death in their positions!

All six main machine gun shooters were killed in less than 2 minutes. The two only assistant shooters were not unskilled in machine guns and did not dare to take over the machine guns, but the bloody facts made them lose the courage to take over the heavy machine guns!

6 for 20, a battle loss ratio of almost 1:3. In the end, there were no more than 40 Chinese mountain people who rushed to the mountain road. It seemed that the Japanese army took advantage.

But it was these 40 people who completely turned the tide of the war.

All the dozens of wounded Japanese soldiers on the mountain road were ruthlessly killed by villagers carrying long knives. Then, led by Shen Laoliu and Zhang San, who were carrying pistols, they rushed to the top of the right wing.

After the two Black Star pistols fired seven rounds of bullets each and killed no less than ten Japanese soldiers in a row, the 40 long knives that followed completely changed the balance of the battlefield.

In the era of hot weapons, even though artillery shells can tear a human body apart and look extremely bloody, it is often hundreds of meters away, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke caused by firearms and gunpowder also dilutes the smell of blood.

But the cold weapon fight, accompanied by the blade cutting and the bayonet entering the body, the shrill screams and the splatter of blood, were all very close.

The Japanese army, which took this as a sign of bravery, may not have expected that a group of ordinary Chinese mountain people would have a fighting will that was completely different from theirs.

On the top of the mountain, on the hillsides, and in the woods of this valley, the two sides didn't care about the topography at all. Where there were opponents, there would be fighting.

The villagers of Yeyue Village have actually gone far beyond the so-called ethnic ties. For more than two hundred years, if they had not united as one, they would have been eliminated by the cruel natural environment.

This battle is just one of the crises they have encountered in the past two hundred years, and it is just the biggest one.

No one flinches, brother dies, brother dies, father dies and son follows!

For a full 15 minutes, there was no sound of gunfire in the entire battlefield, only the contact of swords and guns and the miserable screams of human beings being injured!

As Captain Haruta Youmono was chopped off his head by Long Yan, the remaining fighting spirit of the Japanese army completely dissipated.

The elite troops of the Japanese 20th Division, who had entered China unfavorably, were defeated in hand-to-hand combat for the first time, and the remaining 30 or so Japanese troops began to retreat.

The fighting battle turned into a one-sided pursuit battle!

The hunter has completely become the prey!

In this huge mountain in China, the Jiuli tribe are the most powerful hunters. They did not even rescue the injured villagers. Anyone who could move joined in the pursuit and killing battle.

A group of sixty-year-old men and a group of more than a dozen hunting dogs destroyed the last hope of escape for the remaining Japanese troops.

They were picked out from the woods and shrubs by hounds. Even if they knelt down and begged for surrender, their heads were mercilessly chopped off with a knife.

Until Lu Zhongda and others arrived, the battle had only ended for a few minutes. The villagers who had completely wiped out the Japanese army began to rescue the wounded and collect the remains of their own dead.

Although there are no detailed statistics yet, based on the approximate number of people who can still fight, the number of casualties is definitely not less than 300.

Compared with the nearly 300 Japanese invaders who were killed, the loss ratio in this ambush was almost 1:1.

It's tragic, but it's something to be proud of.

This may be the most brilliant victory for the entire Jin Province, the entire north, and even the entire China, the first time that civilians fought against the regular army.

Chun Youwu's biggest mistake was not to step into the ambush of Yeyue Village, but to choose to use hand-to-hand combat to eliminate the hostility in his chest after suffering heavy losses!

Unexpectedly, the bravery of the Japanese army, which they were proud of, would be shattered in front of a group of Jiuli people who had been forged by suffering for hundreds of years!

If instead of using this tactic, they continue to defend the mountain road and maintain a large number of fresh troops, with their current ammunition reserves, even if Lu Zhongda and others arrive, they will be defeated at most, and they will not be completely annihilated like this!

From the captain to the private, no one survived!

Of course, for Yeyue Village, there is no distinction between military ranks. All opponents are cut down with one sword and their bodies are separated, regardless of whether they are alive or dead.

The reason why Shen Laoliu was severely injured was that during the fight between the two sides, Long Ying had just stabbed a long knife into the body of a Japanese soldier. After suffering heavy injuries, the Japanese soldier became ferocious and held the blade tightly with both hands. Although Long Ying He reacted quickly, twitched his wrist hard, and used a sharp blade to cut off the Japanese soldier's fingers, but that still took time after all.

A Japanese soldier not far away found such a golden opportunity and accelerated several steps in a row and stabbed Long Ying in the back.

Shen Laoliu, who arrived just in time, had no time to block, so he actually chose the 'stupid' tactic of using his body as a shield to block Long Ying's back.

The sharp blade penetrated straight through his not-so-thick chest. If he hadn't held onto the muzzle of the Japanese gun for a brief moment while the bayonet penetrated his flesh, perhaps the female-headed man who had just reacted would also have been struck by this fierce weapon. The bayonet was stabbed into skewers.

Long Ying, who had just drawn the knife, was so furious that he first cut off the sinister pig-headed Saburo's arm with the knife, then turned the blade and slashed his tibia with a "sweeping knife", and then stabbed the severely disabled Japanese Army second lieutenant to death with a backhand stab. Nailed to the ground.

But the Japanese army second lieutenant's ferocious smile before dying still made the female-headed woman feel cold all over.

The 30-centimeter-long blade of the Sanba bayonet almost completely penetrated into Shen Laoliu's chest. As Shen Laoliu fell to the sky, he breathed quickly, and blood came out of his mouth and nose. If there was a doctor here, he would definitely be there. You know, it means that the lungs have been bleeding heavily and have entered the respiratory system. If the bleeding is not stopped immediately, let alone the blood will block the trachea and cause suffocation, a large amount of blood loss will also cause his death!

Not to mention, the cold bayonet may cut off the aorta in his heart. If that happens, Shen Laoliu will be dead in less than a minute!

Fortunately, Long Ying reacted quickly and cut off Zhutou Sanlang's arm, which was still exerting force. The last burst of power from Shen Laoliu also delayed Zhutou Sanlang's brute force.

Otherwise, Lu Zhongda could only see a body that had already been cold!

But even so, Shen Laoliu should have entered the last moments of his life! His eyeballs have begun to roll upwards.

"Make a stretcher. I want to send him back to the regiment, where he can still perform surgery!" Lu Zhongda's heart was broken, and he could only take this one gamble.

He knew that Shen Laoliu might not be able to hold on even if it was a few hundred meters, let alone 16 kilometers away.

But what could he do? Just watch his comrades silently walk towards death?

"He said that he owed us Yeyue Village, and he paid it back with his life!" The silent and tearful female leader suddenly raised her head, and her blood-stained face looked a little hideous.

"But how can he repay with his life? Hundreds of my people died in the battle, and he can't repay. He has to be alive to repay!"
