Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 156 Battle of Souls

Perhaps, only Colonel James, who has not fully understood the Chinese, would find it difficult to understand the scene before him.

Even, he did not listen to the philosophical and thought-provoking words of his commander.

With his extremely pure Western thinking, he really couldn't understand why the Chinese defenders in the warehouse chose to use such a purely cold weapon to solve this crisis.

In his opinion, the Chinese themselves do not have enough troops, and they should conserve their troops. Moreover, with excellent German-made continuous-fire firearms such as MG34 and MP28, they can rely on some remaining fortifications on the first floor to attack those who have already rushed over. Not many Japanese infantry were killed.

That way, the casualties will be much less, and no matter how bad it is, it won't be more damaging than the silly hand-to-hand combat where a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out, right?

 I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.

Of course Western colonels who advocate the right to life will not understand.

 In the hearts of these Eastern soldiers, their lives can be retreated compared with what they need to protect.

Even the Japanese infantrymen who charged fiercely with their rifles in hand and their eyes bulging and biting their cheeks under the rain of bullets could still give up their lives for the sake of victory.

The Japanese colonel did not choose to kill himself and his opponents with machine gun bullets in an attempt to demonstrate the bravery of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Tang Dao and Lei Xiong chose to counterattack in order to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

For the commanders on both sides of the war, this is both a tactical and strategic choice. At the same time, the flower of life that is about to bloom illustrates a truth to everyone present: without sacrifice, how can there be victory?

This battle is not only a collision between bayonets and bayonets, nor a confrontation between life and life, but more of a battle of souls.

 Life or death has long been secondary.

Tantai Mingyue also saw this scene.

 She saw Tang Dao.

Although she didn't have a telescope, the distance of more than 260 meters made it impossible for her to see clearly who those dark blue figures jumped out of the warehouse like tigers, and whether they were the recruits and veterans she interviewed that night, but she 'saw' Tang Dao .

The dark blue figure who leads the crowd and stands in front of a row must be him.

 This is an intuition unique to women.

Looking at the accelerating figure, Tantai Mingyue felt that her breathing almost stopped.

 Yes, her intuition was correct.

 The one who rushed to the front of the entire team was none other than Tang Dao.

The Japanese troops who were at the front were fired by more than twenty submachine guns, and all of them were reduced to leeks under the death sickle. The Japanese troops who rushed behind were still more than 20 meters away.

 So, there was room for Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others to charge.

 It only took one second for Tang Dao to complete the acceleration.

 Lunging is not about running. You just need to increase your speed to the highest level. It must be done in a rhythmic manner, ensuring that there are no accidents under your feet while increasing your speed.

The increase in speed is only second to using inertia to increase the power of the thrust. The momentum of going forward without turning back is the most important thing.

Just like a tiger in a hunting state, why can it knock its prey to the ground with a short-range acceleration and a tiger pounce? Is it really just because of the speed? No, in fact, the moment he saw the tiger rushing towards him on the wind, the prey's muscles and bones were already weak and it completely lost its confidence in resisting.

Tang Dao, who rushed ten meters, had used this space to accumulate his momentum to the peak.

 Behind him, Lei Xiong and Leng Feng followed.

Three bayonets gleaming coldly in the sun, forming a triangular arrow, piercing the ranks of Japanese infantrymen who were also running towards them with their eyes reddened by the blood of their colleagues.

 Dark blue and **** yellow collide under the warm and bright autumn sun.

 A splash of blood. As the tip of the triangular formation in the entire row of arrows, Tang Dao, like a tiger pounced on the Japanese army, was not the first person to come into contact with the Japanese army.

Perhaps, because of his 1.8 meter stature and ferocious momentum, the Japanese soldiers who faced him subconsciously changed direction from more than ten meters away. They would rather slow down and change direction than run into such a vicious person.

That is purely a subconscious effect brought about by the level of the food chain, and has nothing to do with life or death.

It's like a group of hyenas trying to hunt a wounded lion, but can they still dare to head on when the lion pounces? Their bloodline and genes prevent them from doing such stupid things.

 The same goes for the Japanese army.

Therefore, Lei Xiong, who was located two meters behind the right side of Tang Dao, was the first to contact the Japanese army.

 “Kill!” A thrust without any flashiness.

With just one face-to-face encounter, Lei Xiong's forward-stretched bayonet stabbed into the chest of a Japanese military commander who was charging towards him without hesitation amidst his killing sound.

The Japanese Army Commander Cao was definitely a master of stabbing. When he saw Lei Xiong rushing towards him with speed, he retracted his gun and began to accumulate strength in preparation for the forward thrust. His eyes were fixed on Lei Xiong's movements until Lei Xiong began to stretch his arm forward. The moment he was about to thrust out, his footsteps suddenly slowed down with all his strength.

This is to make Lei Xiong misjudge his speed, and then wait until Lei Xiong's arm has stretched as much as possible and exploded with all his strength. The tip of the bayonet is still about a foot away from his body, and then he suddenly releases the rifle in his hand. swing.

 Block!

 Wonderful blocking! Not only can it block the opponent's full thrust, but it can also take advantage of the opponent's old strength to use up his new strength to counterattack!

 Those who can hedge against each other at high speed and block like this are worthy of being masters of stabbing.

If the script was written according to the normal plot, Lei Xiong's bayonet was swung away, but the inertia of forward movement depended on it. The faster he ran, the faster he rushed forward. The Japanese commander Cao, who had swung away the opponent's bayonet, only needed to straighten his bayonet. , Lei Xiong would watch with despair as he rushed towards the enemy's sword.

It's a pity that this Japanese sergeant, whose stabbing skills were definitely beyond the average level of the Japanese army, chose the wrong target.

Because the Chinese army captain he faced was the most elite among the tens of thousands of the 700,000-strong army that had assembled most of China's millions of elites. To use a more clichéd word, Lei Xiong was The best among the best, the strongest among the strong.

Except for the group of outstanding soldiers who are still in northern China, these elites can fully represent the highest level of assassination skills in most of the Chinese army.

In fact, perhaps in terms of spear-thorn skills, the level of the entire Chinese Army is far inferior to that of the Japanese Army, but from a high-end level, the level of Chinese soldiers is higher than that of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's sword-fighting technique actually went through several stages of development, from rise to decline and then to rise again. By 1915, Japan found some of the great spearmen at the time and worked together to modify the sword-fighting technique.

Among them, "straight thrust, protrusion, downward thrust" is equivalent to "stab to the right, stab to the left, stab down"; "left anti-shoot, right anti-shoot, downward anti-shoot" is equivalent to "left anti-thorn, right anti-thorn, downward" "Anti-stab", a few simple offensive and defensive movements, are actually nothing more than combining the bayonet with the ancient Eastern spearmanship.

Thus, from 1915 onwards, the Japanese army’s simple but extremely practical stabbing technology began to rank first in the world’s army.

Yes, this kind of move is simple and suitable for quick stabbing, which is a combination of spear skills. It has indeed raised the average stabbing level of the entire Japanese army by two levels. However, when it comes to spear skills, Japan has never surpassed China. The piracy of the past is really not enough.

  Chinese martial arts, created and passed down by the ancestors of China for thousands of years, is by no means a showpiece in the eyes of ordinary people in the future peace period.

 That's because the general environment does not allow it, and the national art of killing cannot appear in the public eye.

 The battlefield is the best stage for Chinese martial arts.

As for Lei Xiong, how could he have won the title of No. 1 in fighting in one of China's most elite armies, the Royal Forest Army, if he hadn't learned martial arts since he was a child and learned the Yang Family Spear?

The biggest feature of the Yang family gun is that it is fast!

　　The so-called: "When making a move, it is sharp and unstoppable, and the reality and reality are in harmony. When it retreats, it is as fast as the wind, and it is steady and majestic." It is the Yang family gun.

Lei Xiong can draw his gun extremely fast, faster than ordinary people can imagine.

 As fast as the wind, as fast as lightning.

 The Japanese commander Cao misjudged the speed of his opponent's gun, so he died.
