Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Two Japanese guards, their eyes bloodshot, charged toward Duanwu with strange cries, their bayonets gleaming eerily in the dim light.

Duanwu showed no sign of stopping and walked straight past.

The first Japanese soldier had already rushed up to Duanwu and thrust his bayonet at him.

Duanwu simply shifted her body slightly to the side, easily dodging the knife. Then, to the astonishment of the Japanese soldier, she plunged the knife into his neck. As she pulled the knife out, she pulled it down slightly, instantly slicing a large gash in the soldier's neck, from which blood gushed out like a fountain.

The Japanese soldier stared wide-eyed, clutched his neck with both hands, and fell straight down, dying with his eyes wide open.

At this moment, another Japanese soldier saw this and was shocked, but he had no way out and could only grit his teeth and stab Duanwu wildly.

In the instant he dodged, Duanwu threw his bayonet like a throwing knife, which struck his opponent squarely in the neck.

The Japanese soldier fell backward, still clutching his gun. He slowly collapsed after the butt of the gun hit the ground.

As Duanwu passed by, he removed the bayonet from his Type 38 rifle and continued south towards Kitashirakawa.

Kitashirakawa Minami didn't run very far at this point, because his two men died too quickly.

As Duanwu approached again, he fearfully brandished his sword and slashed wildly, shouting threats, "Don't come any closer! I'm an eighth-dan swordsman! It wouldn't be good if I hurt you!"

Duanwu joked, "I've already killed many eighth-dan kendo practitioners. So you don't need to worry! Hmph!"

"what?"

Kitashirakawa Minami was even more frightened. He even regretted coming to China to show off his skills.

Fear made his hands and feet go weak.

If it weren't for his last shred of will to survive, he probably would have been so scared that he would have sat down on the ground by now.

His voice trembled as he said, "Duanwu! You...you can't kill me! I am the Prince of Beibaichuan, second only to the Emperor, above all others. If you release me, I guarantee you countless riches, so you can enjoy wealth and luxury for a lifetime!"

Duanwu scoffed, "Do you think I'm short of money? Wealth and luxury? Can you afford that? If I wanted those things, the money I'd spend on weapons would be enough for me to live a life of luxury and luxury! So you might as well just die!"

As he spoke, Duanwu took two more steps forward. At this moment, seeing that his bribery had failed, Kitashirakawa Minami hurriedly said, "Mr. Duanwu, please, let me go. I promise that if you let me go, I will go back and persuade His Majesty the Emperor to stop the war against China and have the Imperial Army withdraw from China, okay? I swear in the name of the Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Duanwu laughed loudly: "You think you can leave? You little devils have committed countless atrocities in China. None of you will leave; you will all die in China! So, you'd better just obediently accept your death!"

Having said that, Duanwu immediately attacked, thrusting his bayonet into Kitashirakawa Minami's chest.

Kitashirakawa Minami stared wide-eyed in terror, trying to swing his sword to defend himself, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably. He watched helplessly as Dango's bayonet pierced his chest.

Kitashirakawa Minami slowly lowered his head, looking at the bayonet embedded in his chest. He then angrily swung his sword, seemingly wanting to perish together with Dango.

But Duanwu was much faster than him, drawing his sword and retreating, causing Kitashirakawa Minami to miss his target.

Kitashirakawa Minami staggered two steps due to excessive force, then took two more steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He used his sword to prop himself up on the ground, pointed at Duanwu, and said with difficulty, "Why, why must you kill me? Capturing a living prince is far more important than a dead one. Don't you understand?" Duanwu sneered, "Sorry, I've never captured a living Japanese soldier. Because you're all going to die sooner or later, why keep you around wasting food? Go in peace, many more Japanese soldiers will join you!"

As he spoke, Duanwu once again threw the bayonet like a throwing knife at Kitashirakawa Minami, and the bayonet struck the opponent squarely between the eyebrows.

This time, Kitashirakawa Minami was absolutely dead.

His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace. He was still young and had plenty of time to enjoy a luxurious life.

But now, he had to die on Chinese soil.

He regretted it, really regretted it.

Unfortunately, he encountered the Dragon Boat Festival and could only lie here obediently.

However, although Kitashirakawa Minami died, the battle was not over yet. The Anti-Japanese Allied Army soldiers continued to pursue the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

The chase lasted until late into the night.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, each of them wore a victorious smile.

Moreover, the new recruit company, in particular, managed to wipe out a Japanese squad of one hundred men by taking advantage of an opportunity, which can be considered a successful first battle.

Looking at the soldiers' beaming smiles, Duanwu said, "We must not be complacent, nor can we be arrogant. Now go clean up the battlefield, and we'll return to our base before dawn for a victory celebration!"

"Okay!"

The soldiers cheered!

··········
The next morning, as the sun shone on the anti-Japanese brigade's encampment, it bathed this war-torn land in a golden glow.

After a night's rest, the soldiers, though still somewhat tired, all wore expressions of joy and pride.

In the center of the camp, a long table had already been set up, piled high with various foods: canned goods captured by the soldiers from the Japanese, homemade pickled vegetables, and steamed buns given by the local villagers. The soldiers sat around the table, their laughter echoing throughout the camp.

Standing atop several wooden crates, holding a wine bowl, Duanwu shouted, "Brothers, we fought a brilliant battle! We not only wiped out a large number of Japanese soldiers, but also killed a Japanese prince. A Japanese prince like that is quite a rare sight!"

"Hahaha! Captain, our great victory this time is all thanks to you!"

The soldiers laughed heartily; what an honor it was to kill a Japanese prince! Their joy was written all over their faces.

Of course, they also knew that without the captain's skillful command, how could they have won?
Therefore, at this moment, not a single Anti-Japanese Allied Army soldier failed to admire their battalion commander. They all raised their wine bowls and said to Duanwu, "Battalion Commander, for this victory, for killing a Japanese prince, we toast you!"

But at this moment, Duanwu waved his hand and said, "No matter how strong I am, how can I possibly eliminate so many Japanese devils! Let me tell you, everyone has contributed to this battle."

At this point, Duanwu also picked up his wine bowl and said, "To our victory this time, and to kill even more Japanese devils in the future, bottoms up! Hahaha!" (End of this chapter)
