Yamane Ikki was extremely depressed. The defeat was already frustrating enough. He was sleeping well in the middle of the night. He didn't provoke anyone, but was inexplicably wiped out. Who could he complain to?

Moreover, he originally wanted to die in Jiaozuo in a decent manner, to die with dignity, and to show off, but he did not expect to be mercilessly mocked by the commander of the independent column in front of him?

Yamane Ikki managed his emotions and tried not to be disturbed by the commander of the independent column. After all, it was more realistic to pretend to be cool, and this was the top priority.

"I am Colonel Ikki Yamane, commander of the infantry regiment stationed in Jiaozuo. May I ask your name?"

Seeing that the situation had been decided and the troops had already started to clean up, Chu Yunfei patiently chatted with him for a while.

"The person in front of you is Chu Yunfei, the commander of the Mountain Infantry Division of the Third Army of the Independent Column! If you have anything else to say, say it quickly. If you have nothing to say, I will kill you!"

After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he nodded towards the captain of his guard company, signaling him to be ready.

Yamane Kazuki looked at the soldiers of the independent column who were gradually surrounding him, and hurriedly signaled them to wait.

"Autumn Sack! I have something to say!"

"hurry up!"

Yamane Kazuki calmed down and returned to his previous slow and leisurely pace.

“Sir, I have heard that the soldiers of your independent column, especially the commander, are well-trained and have amazing combat effectiveness. Seeing them today, I find them extraordinary.

In the past, with the strength of one of our regiments and the advantageous defensive position, we could at least stop three Chinese infantry divisions. But today, we were unable to stop one of your divisions, and we did not cause you considerable casualties. This really surprised me."

Chu Yunfei is particularly disgusted by this kind of flattery, especially when it comes from the damn Japanese, it's disgusting!

"You stopped me from killing you just to say this bullshit? You wasted another two minutes. Next I have to stab you two more times as interest!"

Yamane Kazuki was stunned. He originally thought that he wanted to express a "fair appreciation" and show his magnanimity and the samurai spirit, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed again.

"Hmm? Aren't you the independent column under Li Yunlong who value martial arts? Then please duel with me!"

Yamane Kazuki stood up, clenched his katana with both hands, and bared his teeth.

The reason why he dared to challenge for a duel was because he was a so-called fighting master who had killed more than one hundred Chinese soldiers on the battlefield in Nanjing!

Yamane Ikki realized that he could not escape the fate of death, so he thought of taking a senior officer of the independent column with him before he died, so that at least he could get his money back.

"What? You want to duel with me?"

"That's right. Don't you dare?"

Yamane Ikki actually used provocation and his words were very contemptuous.

"Dare! Why not! Come on!"

Chu Yunfei took a horse stance and then hooked his finger towards Shan Gen Yi Mu.

"Come here!"

Yamane Ikki tilted his head in confusion, looking at Chu Yunfei with empty hands, and wondered, could it be that Chu Yunfei wanted to snatch the sword with his bare hands?

Although he had heard of the legend of "horizontal palm as sharp as a knife", he had never seen it.

"Siguoyi! I have no regrets about dying at the hands of the mysterious Chinese Kung Fu! Take it!"

Yamane Kazuki raised his samurai sword above his head and rushed forward with bared teeth, wanting to use his special move to chop off Chu Yunfei's head.

Chu Yunfei was not panicked at all. He smiled faintly, quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist, loaded it instantly, and then fired two shots, hitting Yamane Ikki's two legs respectively.

Yamane Kazuki looked incredulous, raised his samurai sword, knelt on the ground, and his mouth twitched in pain.

"What? You used a gun and didn't duel according to the rules?"

"Haha, my principle is that as long as I can kill the enemy, I will use any method, and you are my enemy."

"Baga! You are insulting the spirit of Bushido! I will fight you!"

Yamane Kazuki held the samurai sword in one hand, ready to throw it at Chu Yunfei, but Chu Yunfei pulled the trigger again without hesitation, directly piercing Yamane Kazuki's head.

Shan Gen Yi Mu collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, without any sign of life.

"I just made you suffer for two extra minutes. Just consider it as interest."

This is Chu Yunfei's principle of training soldiers, to kill the enemy at all costs, without being bound by any rules or regulations. Why use a knife if the problem can be solved with bullets?

Chu Yunfei ordered the soldiers of the Mountain Infantry Division to quickly stabilize the situation in Jiaozuo, and use it as the center to sweep the surrounding strongholds.

At this time, the Seventh Army of the Third Army had already launched an attack on Xinxiang. The powerful firepower offensive did not give the Japanese any chance to breathe, and the battle lasted until dawn, and Xinxiang had been captured.

By eight o'clock in the morning, the major cities north of the Yellow River in Henan Province had been captured by the independent column.

When Okamura Neiji saw the battle reports from various places, he felt disheartened. Without the Pinghan Line, their support and control over the battlefield in central Henan would be greatly weakened, and the troops that had already penetrated deep into central Henan were in great danger.

"Baga, how come the independent column is so fast?"

"Commander, as far as I know, except for the light infantry troops of the independent column attacking Jiaozuo, the rest of the troops are armored units and are very fast!"

"Well, this may be the blitzkrieg that Germany has always advocated!"

“How should we respond next?”

After some thought, Okamura Neiji decided that the most important thing now was to keep the Yellow River Bridge, so that they would still have a chance to fight. If even the Yellow River Bridge was controlled by the independent column, then they might really become an isolated force.

"Order all troops north of the Yellow River in Henan Province to immediately move closer to the Yellow River Iron Bridge and ensure its safety!"

"Yes!"

Okamura Neiji searched all the strongholds north of the Yellow River in Henan Province and found about two thousand Japanese devils and nearly eight thousand puppet troops.

Okamura Neiji sent nearly 10,000 Japanese devils and puppet troops to Lizhuang, ten kilometers north of the Yellow River Bridge, to build a temporary defense line.

These ten thousand Japanese devils and puppet troops were digging trenches in Lizhuang, completely unaware that they had all been used as cannon fodder by Okamura Yasuji.

Okamura Yasuji thought he could finally take a break, after all, the attacks on Yanshi, Dengfeng and Xuchang were going smoothly, and there was no worry about the Yellow River for the time being.

However, he never expected that the three armies of the Fourth Army had already completely crossed the Yellow River.

"Order all troops to arrive at designated locations immediately and provide support to Yanshi, Dengfeng, and Xuchang. Make sure to recapture them all!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army were filled with murderous intent. They had been away from the south bank of the Yellow River for more than a few months, but their mood when they left was completely different from their current mood.

When he left, he seemed like an abandoned child, but now he seems to have become a savior. However, some people don't think so...
