The Heroic Age of the Late Qing Dynasty

"Abe-kun, let's do as you say."

Although the two old Japanese soldiers sounded worried, they didn't really take it seriously at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't have said they got off the train at Liutiao Lake. You know, Liutiao Lake is in the northern suburbs of Shenyang, and it can be said that you can enter Shenyang city in just two steps.

The Japanese soldiers below were completely unconcerned at this moment. The Qing army? How far away did it sound? They had all grown up listening to the heroic stories of their predecessors in the army. How much these Japanese soldiers admired the glory of their predecessors in the Sino-Japanese War, wishing they had been born there earlier! The army that was chased away like ducks at the time dared to touch the tiger's whiskers of the Great Japanese Empire? That would be like an old man hanging himself - not wanting to live long enough?

As the commander of the Fifth Corps, Zhao Yong wasn't particularly fond of conducting ambushes during the day, as they were prone to various unexpected situations and could easily lead to exposure. Furthermore, the longer the ambush, the greater the risk of exposure, the higher the risk of ambush, the greater the casualties, and even the risk of being surrounded by the enemy.

But there is no way now. Who asked the Japanese to rush here on the train to die? It would be a shame to the King of Hell if we don't accept them.

He knew that if the two Japanese divisions were allowed to deploy, their main force would be prepared to enter the attack range of Shenyang City. Even with the defense system, if the Japanese army prepared to attack, the field army would also suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, if the two Japanese divisions saw that the situation was not good and fled to harm the people, they would regret it!

Since the Japanese were traveling by train, the scouts had no way of relaying information about the enemy. Instead, they had experienced comrades lie on the tracks and listen to see if they could determine the Japanese's position. However, cavalry had been deployed along the railway. If the Japanese stopped the train, Zhao Yong, sitting in the temporary command post, would be able to quickly determine the location of the main force.

At this moment, except for the occasional "gunfire" coming from far away, the entire ambush area was in a terrible silence before the war.

Time slipped away as the field army waited anxiously, and it felt like an eternity. However, in reality, the wait wasn't particularly long. After only half an hour, the train carrying the Japanese troops arrived, emitting thick smoke and making a series of grunting sounds.

At this moment, there was a loud explosion from the direction of Shenyang, which was clearly heard even by the Japanese soldiers on the train. All the Japanese soldiers pricked up their ears and listened, and then they heard the explosion of a large number of bullets.

Hearing these sounds, Akita's brows relaxed and he said happily, "There is indeed fighting going on in Fengtian City. We can hear the sound of gunfire now. The warriors of the empire have indeed not let us down."

Abe also said: "Yoshi, Fengtian City is indeed under siege. It seems that it has not fallen yet. Now that we are here, this farce should be over."

"Yes, once we arrive, Fengtian will not fall. But I am confused now. Why are the Qing troops still surrounding Fengtian? If they know they can't take it, why don't they retreat immediately?"

"Humph, those foolish Qing people, who knows what they are thinking. We just march our troops over there, do they dare to confront us?"

In just a moment, Abe and Akita, who had been cautious at first, immediately regained their arrogance. The Russians were no match for them, let alone the Qing army. So he gave a direct order: "Order the troops to prepare for battle. Kill any enemy you encounter without mercy."

The Japanese soldiers were delighted when they heard this order. Killing without mercy was to allow everyone to act freely. This was a good opportunity to make a fortune. After all, who knew who was the enemy and who was not? Isn't it up to them to decide?

"ocean."

The Japanese soldiers who heard the order answered in unison!

Chapter 498:

The trains of that era only traveled at 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, which was about the speed of an average person sprinting 100 meters. It was much slower than riding a horse at full speed, so it was no joke that the Railway Guerrillas could catch up with the train on bicycles.

Even if a train derailed in those days, it was unlikely to cause serious harm to the passengers. Therefore, Zhao Yong and Yu Dehai never considered the harm they could cause to the Japanese soldiers on board by simply derailing the train, nor did they think about how many Japanese soldiers they would kill. They simply held their binoculars and quietly watched the train approaching from afar.

The artillery was the first to speak in this battle. Yu Dehai didn't care when the train derailed or stopped. When he saw that the train had completely entered the artillery's attack position, he immediately gave the order to fire without the slightest hesitation.

At this time, the cannon had already been loaded with shells and was ready to fire at any time. Upon hearing the order, the gunner immediately pulled the bolt and fired. With a loud "bang", the shell flew straight towards the moving train.

The shell flew out of the barrel. Except for the comrades who were recording, other artillerymen had already begun to eject the shell casings according to the steps and reload the shells. Then they would quickly adjust the parameters according to the recorded data.

Akita was still discussing the current situation with Abe when he suddenly saw a large flash of fire in the distance, followed by a puff of smoke. As a division commander who had seen numerous battles during the Russo-Japanese War, he instinctively knew what those flashes were. His body's instinctive movements outpaced his brain's, and he immediately leaned sideways, attempting to lie down, screaming, "Artillery fire! Get down!"

However, no matter how early Akita discovered it or how loudly he shouted, it was already too late.

As the artillery opened fire, shells flew across the sky and rained down, exploding on the railway and the surrounding open space. Of course, many shells also hit the train directly and exploded, with a loud rumbling sound. At this moment, a loud noise came from the locomotive, and the entire train suddenly twisted like a snake, and the carriages suddenly stopped in a mess.

The Japanese soldiers in the carriage were immediately blown up. The Japanese soldiers were busy avoiding the bombardment. They were the elite of the Japanese army, but where could they hide in this closed carriage? At this time, the Japanese soldiers had no ability to resist. They had become targets, and the heavy weapons were still on other carriages. Under such powerful artillery fire, no matter how high their tactical quality was, it would be of no use.

Abe also reacted at this time, his eyes almost popping out of his head in shock, and he also shouted at the top of his lungs: "Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!"

Abe shouted too late. At this time, none of his officers paid attention to what Abe was shouting, because all the Japanese soldiers knew that this was only the first round of shelling and there would definitely be more rounds to come.

Akita also shouted at this time: "Get off the train quickly and hide, and counterattack immediately..."

Regardless of the Japanese casualties and reaction, Yu Dehai immediately ordered a second round of artillery fire. This round was highly successful, with one shell flying directly into a carriage storing munitions. With a loud bang, the carriage was reduced to a pile of scrap metal by the shell's detonation.

Seeing a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky, Zhao Yong immediately slapped his thigh and said, "If we can achieve such results twice more, we can just leave this battle to the artillery."

"Commander, if we keep bombing, we won't get much loot. Let's charge without stopping."

Zhao Yong naturally refused. It had only been two rounds of bombardment, and the Japanese were hiding in the train cars. With the protection of the cars, the casualties among the Japanese soldiers inside should not be too serious. So Zhao Yong immediately said, "Forget about the lack of spoils. These cars are full of elite soldiers who participated in the Russo-Japanese War. They are very powerful. There is no need to rush now. Let's bomb all the cars first. We can now produce our own weapons and ammunition. The lives of our soldiers are much more valuable than these spoils..."

Zhao Yong's plan was ruthless. After bombing all the carriages, how many people could be left alive? This battle was too easy. But could things really develop as he wished?

Akita and Abe also heard the loud explosions behind them. They realized that it was the detonation of their own munitions. They immediately muttered, like a deflated ball, "It's over, everything is over."

They naturally knew the consequences of the ammunition detonation. Without the shells and bullets in the carriage, facing such fierce enemy fire with only their weapons, they were like toothless tigers, no, lambs to the slaughter. What should they do? This was the most urgent question before them.

"Get off the train and break out immediately, otherwise we will all die here and become sinners of the empire."

"That's right, even if I die, I'd rather die on the way to the charge."

How easy is it to get off the train? The train is indeed a target, but at least it is protected by a layer of iron sheets. If you get off the train, there is nothing to block you. Would it be much safer than being inside the train? However, even if getting off the train is not safe, this is the only choice for these Japanese soldiers.

Some were happy, others were sad. Yu Dehai was in high spirits at the moment. The enemy allowed him to bombard them. He felt incredibly lucky to have fought a battle like this once in his life, something he could truly boast about for the rest of his life. As the number of train cars decreased, the field army's artillery fire could become more intense. Yu Dehai immediately ordered the artillery to stop firing at the already destroyed cars and instead focus their fire on the cars until all were destroyed.

In this battle, the artillery had the advantage from the very beginning. Although many of the field army's artillerymen were novices, the train carriages were still covered by the field army's artillery group and were shattered. The Japanese army also suffered heavy losses.

However, this was an army of two divisions after all, and they were protected by carriages. No matter how fierce the field army's artillery fire was, it was impossible to completely destroy all the Japanese troops at once. That would take time and require uninterrupted continuous artillery bombardment.

Akita then leaned out of the train door and rolled under the train. Meanwhile, Abe had been hit by shrapnel and was breathing more than he was breathing in.

After finding a relatively safe spot, Akita immediately looked around and saw that the train was already full of Japanese soldiers hiding. He felt relieved. These were the elite soldiers of the empire!

However, this is not surprising. At this time, the only safest place the Japanese army could think of was probably under the carriage.

Akita immediately waved a small plaster flag, waving it in all directions, and then began to spread the message. The meaning was very clear: Fengtian was not safe and they could not escape. They could not go east or west. There must be a large number of enemy troops ambushed. Now the only way to survive was to break out to the north, return to Tieling, and join the main force on the front line...

At this time, Akita had seen clearly that the main force of the enemy was here and would definitely surround them from all directions. Now the only way to survive was to break out to the north while the enemy's artillery fire did not stop.

Akita was relatively lucky, having a chance to crawl under a train and attempt to lead the remaining troops north. Abe was not so lucky, and he died unwillingly. Meanwhile, the train, parked on the railway, was an obvious target and was immediately attacked by artillery fire. The entire train was blown into countless pieces and collapsed on the side of the roadbed, a true dead snake!

The artillery roared, the reverberations echoing, the ancient earth trembling! Facing utter annihilation, Akita unexpectedly chose to lead his remaining troops northward along the railway. Honestly, given the current battlefield situation, this was the most correct choice.

Because once the bombardment ended and the field army rushed out, the Japanese army would inevitably be attacked from both sides and would not be destroyed for long. At this time, the Japanese army also knew that they had to escape and that the only way to survive was to join forces with other Japanese troops.

United, the remnants of the Japanese army, sheltered in the carriages and sheltered by the trees and bushes on either side, desperately fled northward, braving the hail of shells. The field army's artillery extended its bombardment, sending the battlefield resounding with the sound of artillery and shaking the earth. The elite Japanese troops, completely disorganized by the intensive bombardment of the field army's artillery, fled madly northward.

At this point, the troops guarding the north, tasked with cutting off the enemy's front and rear, had already entered their positions. However, due to the tight schedule and the need to avoid arousing the suspicion of passing Japanese troops, their positions were crudely arranged. Facing this desperate charge, the soldiers were under immense pressure, their heavy firepower blazing furiously. In the distance, the Japanese were fleeing, their only hope being to flee north, killing anyone who stood in their way.

At this time, the artillery was still roaring, and the field army soldiers in other directions could not reinforce the north for the time being. At this time, the Japanese army was like crazy, desperately trying to break out to the north.

The frenzied Japanese army finally displayed their true tactical prowess. The difference between life and death was truly terrifying; life and death depended on whether they could break free; this was their only option. At this point, all the Japanese troops were charging and firing, their minds highly focused, their shooting accuracy exceeding their usual training levels. Many field army soldiers were shot in the head the moment they emerged, their red and white brains scattering across the ground. The field army's heavy firepower was a prime target for the Japanese. Before a fire snake could even spit, the shooter would be struck and fall to the ground. If the heavy firepower paused even for a moment, the Japanese would already be there.

The Japanese army quickly approached the first line of defense. Only then did they see clearly that firewood was piled on one side of the trenches, so that people on the train could not see the enemy troops hiding in the trenches. At the same time, this could also hide the soil that had just been dug. However, it could also be seen that the trench was dug in a hurry.

Of course, the Japanese soldiers at this time did not care about these things and rushed forward with their bayonets pointed. Some Japanese soldiers even saw that the field army soldiers were about to fire heavy machine guns and immediately threw themselves on the heavy machine guns, and the bullets were all poured into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who rushed towards the heavy machine guns were like a piece of rag, and they were torn into pieces in a short time. However, this also bought a lot of time for the other Japanese soldiers, and the fearless Japanese soldiers were finally about to rush into the field army's position.

The front-line squad and platoon leaders now knew what was happening and could only start the most desperate hand-to-hand combat.

"Comrades, draw your bayonets and kill!"

Things often develop in such unexpected ways. A classic ambush eventually turned dramatically into a bayonet fight to prevent a breakout.

Seeing through his telescope that the front lines were already in close combat, Zhao Yong had to admire the decisiveness of this Japanese officer. Zhao Yong immediately ordered the artillery to continue the bombardment and ordered the infantry to begin to encircle the enemy from all sides, resolutely and thoroughly annihilating the Japanese army. He also ordered the cavalry to patrol the perimeter and kill any escaping Japanese soldiers immediately.

Chapter 499:

When it comes to bayonet fighting, the Japanese army is a true veteran. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese and Russian armies engaged in countless bayonet battles. During the Battle of Liaoyang, there was a spectacular bayonet battle involving thousands of people. In the end, the Japanese army won. It can be said that the Japanese army at this time was confident in their bayonet skills.

Of course, the reason why the Japanese and Russians engaged in large-scale bayonet fighting was also because both sides were seriously short of logistics and had no bullets in their guns, so they could only choose to fight with bayonets, a primitive means of warfare. At this time, another bayonet war came.

Of course, bayonet fighting wasn't used throughout the entire line at this time. It was only at the points where a breakthrough was made. Elsewhere, bullets were still the deciding factor. The most intense fighting took place along the train tracks. This wasn't the best defensive position, and there weren't even trenches dug; it was simply blocked with heavy machine guns. However, this was the key attack position the Japanese were attempting to break through. Once the Japanese had their heavy machine guns out, they would be able to quickly break through and even escape.

Faced with the bayonet battle launched by the Japanese army, the field army soldiers quickly formed combat teams, covered each other, and prepared to kill the enemy.

At this moment, all the soldiers were rapidly secreting adrenaline, their bodies filled with strength, their minds and bodies focused, almost forgetting fatigue, pain, and fear, completely turning into violent machines, tools of killing. The soldiers' only thought now was to stop the Japanese army and prevent them from breaking out of their encirclement.

The Japanese army was known for its strong obedience, fierce fighting spirit, and fearlessness of death. At this point, they were determined to break out, fighting like a trapped beast, completely unafraid of life and death. Their desperate and unyielding fighting spirit allowed one to imagine their explosive combat power.

The Chinese and Japanese armies fought a desperate battle on the land of Northeast China. When the two armies were deadlocked, guns and artillery had temporarily lost their effectiveness, and the outcome could only be decided by bayonet fighting.

Most of the soldiers in the field army had great hatred for the Japanese army. They had also received ideological education from the Forward Party and had carried out many grievance campaigns. At this time, with party members and cadres taking the lead, their fighting will was also very tenacious, and they were often able to fight without fear of life and death.

However, the soldiers also had their weaknesses: a lack of combat experience, which even the most diligent training could not immediately compensate for. Furthermore, the field army contained a large number of new recruits, and the army inevitably expanded too quickly. Therefore, the soldiers were far less coordinated than the Japanese. However, the Japanese were also hesitant to fight, preferring only to break out. Therefore, the two sides engaged in a bloody battle, each evenly matched.

A field army soldier blocked the Japanese bayonet with the rifle in his hand. A soldier next to him seized the opportunity and stabbed the bayonet into the Japanese soldier's lower abdomen. As soon as the soldier pulled out the bayonet, a Japanese soldier next to him stabbed the soldier's chest with his bayonet. Blood spurted out instantly. However, the Japanese soldier seemed to be exhausted because he had run for a while, and the sword didn't penetrate very deep before it got stuck in his ribs.

The soldier's eyes widened instantly. The situation was utterly perilous. It was a life-or-death situation. He dared not allow the Japanese soldier to stir or pull out his bayonet. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the bayonet, and hurled it forward, piercing the soldier's chest. Both men collapsed to their knees, powerless. A nearby soldier reacted quickly, kicking the wounded soldier away before rejoining the other soldiers. No one had time to assist the wounded soldier, but he knew his situation was perhaps the best it could be. Pulling out the bayonet without prompt treatment would be fatal. The soldier soon passed out from the blood loss.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were becoming more and more crazy, and some even chose to detonate the grenades on their bodies and die together with the field army soldiers.

At this point, it was a great irony that a surprise attack turned into a hand-to-hand fight. However, the field army had no other options. The army's production capacity was still insufficient, and it was still besieging the Japanese army from all sides. There was no way to overwhelm the Japanese army with firepower alone. When necessary, it could only fight the Japanese army in a bloody battle.

Zhao Yong naturally didn't want the originally hearty feast to turn into a half-cooked meal, so he immediately gave the order for a general attack.

As a soldier who had just joined the field army, Wu Tianxi not only trained and helped local areas with land reform, but also participated in some ambushes and battles. Previously, Wu Tianxi was a member of the Qing army. The Russo-Japanese War destroyed his family and he left the army out of disillusionment with the Qing Dynasty. After seeing the militia saving themselves, he joined the group and became a member.

Soon after he joined the militia, he received a reorganization order. Although he didn't know where the order to reorganize the troops came from, it didn't matter to him as long as they could fight against Japan and Russia. In the end, he was assigned to the Fifth Field Army. Although he is still attending classes and training constantly, he is still confused about what a field army is. He just knows that this is to better fight the Japanese and Russian armies.

He trained hard and studied diligently, so he believed he had made significant progress. Now, he was on the second line of defense, feeling reassured. After all, just that morning, before he even set out, the battle for Shenyang was already over. The bravery and skill of the field army astounded Wu Tianxi. Shenyang was such a big city, and it was so easy to take it down! He had only gone up to clean up the battlefield.

However, not long after the train passed and they entered their positions, earth-shaking artillery fire rang out. He thought the Japanese were finished, so he chatted with his comrades. But not long after, fierce gunfire came from the first line of defense in front, followed by the sound of bayonets from both sides clashing with each other.

Just as he stretched his head to look, suddenly, from the first line of defense came the earth-shaking shouts of "Aboard!", "Aboard!", the sound was like a tsunami. Wu Tianxi's heart tightened, because he saw Japanese soldiers running towards him from many places.

"The first line of defense was breached just like that?"

Although Wu Tianxi thought it was impossible, the fact that the Japanese army appeared was right in front of him. However, he soon found out what was going on.

The bullets from the field army never stopped, but the lush vegetation in the Northeast provided the Japanese army with convenient concealment. The Japanese army relied on skilled tactical moves to advance desperately, and caused huge casualties to the field army with accurate shooting.

In fact, the Japanese army was already extremely anxious at this time. The artillery shells had not stopped, and there were enemy troops on all sides. These enemy troops were about to surround them, and if they did not break out, they would be surrounded.

In fact, the Japanese troops Wu Tianxi saw were escaping from one breakthrough after another. The soldiers on the first line of defense were still resisting, and the Japanese troops just tore open some gaps.

At this time, facing the enemy forces surrounding them from all directions, the Japanese army had to either surrender or risk their lives.

Akita pointed his command knife in Wu Tianxi's direction and shouted, "Kill them!"

It was normal for the Japanese army to choose not to die. After receiving the order, the Japanese army immediately rushed towards Wu Tianxi.

Soon, Wu Tianxi truly witnessed the Japanese army's bravery. Although he was filled with anger when he saw the Japanese soldiers, he couldn't help but think of their brutality. Seeing the Japanese soldiers' hideous faces at this moment, his anger was quietly replaced by fear. He couldn't help but tighten his rifle. Seeing the soldiers around him aiming at the Japanese soldiers, he stopped thinking and immediately took aim at a small Japanese devil.

At this time, the squad leader shouted: "Shoot."

Wu Tianxi quickly pulled the trigger, and when the gunshot rang out, he knew that he had not hit the Japanese soldier, because he saw that little Japanese soldier suddenly lie down on the ground and crawl desperately on the ground. After crawling for only a few times, he immediately stood up and rushed towards him.

Wu Tianxi had already loaded the gun and aimed again. However, he felt his hands shaking, and the muzzle of the gun was shaking. He pulled the trigger, but the bullet still missed. He panicked, and even saw the ferocious face of the Japanese.

At this moment, several rounds of artillery fire from the army extended over, and the Japanese soldiers he had been aiming at were directly blown up into the sky. Panicked Wu Tianxi also came to his senses: "Ah, so the Japanese soldiers died just like that? Just like that."

Wu Tianxi sighed in his heart, and suddenly he was no longer panicked. He picked up the gun and immediately aimed and shot, and finally hit one.

At this time, the artillery fire stopped, and the final encirclement and suppression battle began. Wu Tianxi's ears heard bursts of shouting and killing, as well as the Japanese's "board" shouts, chaos, chaos.

Wu Tianxi ignored everything else and continued shooting. He saw from the corner of his eye that several heavy machine gunners were shot to the ground. Wu Tianxi knew that almost all the machine gunners in his position had been specially targeted by the Japanese army and had died.

A gap appeared, and it seemed as if all the nearby Japanese troops began to pour in through this breakthrough. At this time, the commanders and fighters shouted again: "Grenade."

Wu Tianxi immediately pulled the string of the grenade he had prepared and threw it at the Japanese. While throwing the grenade, he took a look from a distance. At this time, the field army in grass-green uniforms and the Japanese army in black uniforms were already engaged in a large-scale melee in front of his defense line. With the sound of hurried running, it was not long before more Japanese soldiers rushed into the trenches and entangled with the field army.

The sound of bayonets colliding with each other rang in Wu Tianxi's ears again, followed by the screams of the soldiers after the bayonets entered the flesh and the roars of hand-to-hand combat.

Wu Tianxi suddenly heard a voice: "Put on the bayonets, charge!"

He subconsciously drew his bayonet and fixed it on the front of his rifle. It wasn't just Wu Tianxi and his men. The soldiers nearby had already rushed out of their trenches and were engaged in a melee with the Japanese. At this point, continuing to shoot was no longer appropriate; they could only engage in a close-range bayonet fight. So the squad leaders nearby also shouted this.

"Come on!"

Hearing these two words, Wu Tianxi suddenly shuddered. These two words reminded him of when he was in the Qing army. At that time, he had to bow and nod whenever he saw the Japanese. But now, he was actually taking the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

He had indeed received some training in the army, but he had never expected that the first real bayonet battle in his life would start under such circumstances, and that the other side was a group of extremely strong Japanese soldiers who were forced to risk their lives. He felt that all this was so unreal, as if he was dreaming.

At this time, the soldiers on the other three sides had all attacked, and many heavy machine gunners pushed their guns and rushed towards the Japanese. They did not mix with the Japanese, and their bullets indiscriminately shot and killed those isolated Japanese soldiers. The cavalry also rushed over at this time, slashing left and right at the Japanese.

The Japanese troops were being eliminated quickly, but this wave of Japanese troops that were engaged in a melee with the field army could only be dealt with by relying on pistols or bayonets.

The Field Army was clearly ill-prepared for the Japanese to break through their positions, and was caught completely off guard. No one could have imagined the Japanese would be so decisive, concentrating their firepower and rapidly breaking out from a single position. Due to the Field Army's hasty ambush, the trenches were not dug deep or well. Due to the Field Army's inflexible planning and the fact that the troops had not anticipated the Japanese's thorough approach to close combat, it didn't take long for the Japanese to find a breakthrough in the first line of defense.

The Japanese attack was so powerful and determined that the regimental commander guarding the northern line had never expected it. Since these devils were veterans who had just participated in the Russo-Japanese War, his heavy firepower was silenced by them in such a short time, which made the regimental commander simmer with anger.

The regimental commander, a native of Northeast China, had been with the unit for over a year. While he had heard of bayonet engagements at regimental or higher levels during the Russo-Japanese War, he had never witnessed one. Even in a field army with heavy firepower, he had believed his regiment would never engage in a large-scale bayonet engagement. However, today, he was forced to engage in a bayonet engagement with the Japanese, a truly humiliating experience.

At this time, the Japanese army continued to rush through the breakthrough point. Their reckless charge had indeed achieved a certain goal. The front-line blocking troops naturally could not let these Japanese break out, so they had to fight them. The regimental commander could not stand by and watch the front line fight with bayonets. He was still in command at the headquarters, so he handed the command to the political commissar and rushed to the battlefield with the reserve soldiers and guards.

At this moment, Wu Tianxi raised his rifle with trepidation and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers. He had forgotten all the bayonet fighting skills he had learned in training. He just rushed towards the Japanese soldiers with his rifle. The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side blocked his attack with all their strength, and Wu Tianxi actually stumbled and fell to the ground.

The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the situation to finish off the enemy, but the field soldiers were in groups of three. Another soldier's thrust was also blocked by this Japanese soldier. The Japanese had no choice but to give up the finishing blow and focus on dealing with the two field soldiers standing in front of them.

Bayonet combat wasn't as romantic as the knightly duels depicted on TV, nor did it last nearly as long. If it were just two people engaging in a bayonet duel, they might have spent a long time testing each other's strength, but in this chaotic battle, life and death depended on a split second. While engaging the opponent in front of you, you also had to keep your eyes and ears open, constantly on the lookout for incoming bayonets.

Therefore, everyone who has truly mastered the bayonet technique only thinks about knocking down the opponent. Stabbing the bayonet into the enemy's body is victory. How could they have the mind to compete?

At this time, Wu Tianxi stood up again. His eyes were bloodshot and he had no fear in his heart. Or perhaps he had reached the point of having no thoughts at all. The only thing in his eyes was the Japanese man holding the bayonet.

Although the Japanese had already rushed into the defense line, the field army's bullets had already wiped out most of the Japanese, and the few remaining were almost two to one. This Japanese soldier had no intention of confronting the field army and just wanted to break out quickly, but Wu Tianxi had already rushed forward with his bayonet.
