Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

The signalman trembled and said fearfully, "Your Excellency the division commander and the chief of staff, listen to the gunfire in the city. The enemy is advancing very quickly.

It won't be long before we capture the county town, so please consider moving in, General!"

This is not what a signalman should say, but he saw that the warriors of the Empire, like him, were struggling to survive under the enemy's artillery fire and bullets.

In his mind, the division commander and chief of staff, who had always been high and mighty, were hiding in the headquarters, not knowing what to do.

In order to allow more warriors to escape from this burial ground, he could only pretend to be brave and give warnings.

Fujiwara no Nakayoshi drew out his command sword in anger, "Baga, yours is the empire's trash."

As he was about to chop him to death, Uchida Ginnosuke grabbed Fujiwara, stared at him with his dead grey eyes, shook his head, and said dejectedly,

"Fujiwara-kun, let him leave. We can't hold out until reinforcements arrive. While the north gate of Ping County has not been blocked, let the warriors of the empire move in separately!"

Teng Fujiwara Nakayoshi weakly put down the general sword that made him so proud, and said unwillingly, "We can still fight street battles!"

"Ha!" Uchida Ginnosuke laughed strangely, "Fujiwara-kun, did you not hear the gunshots in the city?

The enemy's automatic firepower is extremely powerful. How can we warriors resist it with the Type 38 rifles in their hands?

We have no chance, send a farewell telegram to Commander Yuzuka and the North China Command!"

Fujiwara no Nakayoshi nodded heavily. As an imperial lieutenant general, he seriously underestimated the enemy's strength, which led to the 20th Division suffering a devastating disaster.

But his Bushido spirit is still there, and he has the courage to commit suicide.

Yuzuka Yoshio, who was far away in Taiyuan, had just arranged the rescue of the 20th Division when he received a call from Yamasugi Moto of the North China Command.

"Yuzuka-kun, the 2nd Division is one of the Empire's permanent divisions and one of the Empire's most important combat forces. I order you to rescue them at all costs.

I have received a call from Commander Nishio of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The 20th Division must be rescued.

The Empire cannot accept the consequences of an entire division being wiped out. Neither you nor I can bear it!"

"Hey!" Yuzuka Yoshio said timidly, "Commander, I have sent the 41st Division and the th Brigade to Ping County quickly. They will arrive near Ping County by tomorrow morning at the latest.

At the same time, the 4th Brigade in Luyang would cross the Daqing Mountains and directly attack Pingyang, the base of the independent battalion.

The 36th Division is also on the train. They will advance to northern Shanxi as the follow-up troops.

After the danger to the 20th Division is eliminated, several divisions will join forces to encircle and suppress the independent battalion.

This army is very strange, but fortunately there are not many of them. I think we must eliminate them in advance."

Yamasugi Gen didn't care about the follow-up. Regardless of whether the 20th Division could be rescued this time, Yoshio Yuzuka would be punished by the royal family and the Army Department for fighting him.

Where is the follow-up?

As soon as Yuzuka Yoshio put down the phone, the signalman ran in with a farewell telegram from Fujiwara Nakayoshi.

"Baga, do you have any rules? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

The signalman handed over the telegram with a sad face, then turned and ran away. Such a big thing, what if the commander killed him?

Just as Yuzuka Yoshio was about to lose his temper, he was attracted by the content of the telegram in his hand. "Farewell telegram?"

Tanaka Yoshinori was shocked by what Yuzuka Yoshio said, and he stood up and walked quickly to Yuzuka Yoshio.

He asked tentatively, "Commander, what are you talking about?"

Yuzuka Yoshio looked up at him and slowly handed the telegram over, muttering, "It's all an illusion!"

Tanaka Yoshinori noticed that Yuzuka Yoshio was not normal, so he quickly read the telegram.

"Baka!" Tanaka Yoshinori cursed subconsciously when he saw the contents of the telegram.

"Hurry up and send a message to the 20th Division. I want to know the details!"

The staff officer in the command office quickly ran into the communications room and came out to report soon, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the radio station of the 20th Division has been disconnected!"

Yuzuka Yoshio quickly recovered from the shock. He rushed to the desk and picked up the phone.

"I'm Yuzuka Yoshio, connect me to the Pingxian 20th Division Headquarters!"

The voice on the phone said, "Commander, the Ping County Command Center cannot be reached!"

"Baka!" Yoshio Yuzuka was furious.

The telephone lines in Ping County were destroyed by the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron when the tank squadron entered the city.

The 1st, 5th, 6th Squadrons, the Special Agent Squadron, and the Special Operations Squadron of the Independent Battalion all followed the tank squadron into the city.

The Japanese wanted to resist in the alleys of the city, but they were faced with countless assault rifles and light and heavy machine guns.

The Japanese just fired a shot and was about to pull the bolt when the assault rifles of the opposite independent brigade fired bullets at them.

The two sides were completely not on the same tactical level, whether in terms of combat proficiency or firepower.

More importantly, the armor of the Panther tanks leading the way was too thick. The anti-tank guns of the only anti-tank squadron of the 20th Division hit the front armor of the Panther tanks.

As soon as the fire died down, the shell was bounced off the tilted armor at the front end, leaving nothing but a black line.

At 6:26 p.m., an hour had passed. The independent brigade had basically cleared out the Japanese in the city and occupied important places such as the arsenal, granary, and power plant.

The only two things still resisting were the Japanese headquarters and the Japanese military camp that had been bombed into ruins.

When Wang Dagui and his guard company arrived at the Japanese headquarters, Wang Xiaoxi had been commanding two tanks to bombard the entrance of the Japanese headquarters for a long time.

"Alternately cover each other and move forward quickly. There must be good stuff in the enemy's headquarters. We can't let them destroy it. Charge!"

At Wang Da Kui's command, the soldiers rushed to the command center with ease.

A few minutes later, Wang Dagui saw Fujiwara Nakayoshi in the room on the second floor of the headquarters.

At this time, Teng Yuan was ready to commit seppuku. He knelt on the floor with three knives in front of him.

According to the Japanese ritual of seppuku, Fujiwara no Nakayoshi needed an assistant.

The main role of this person was to give Fujiwara no Nakayoshi a quick death when he could no longer endure the pain of seppuku.

Unfortunately, the people in the command center were fleeing, and he couldn't find them after searching for a long time. The only one who hadn't left was Uchida Ginnosuke, but he was also committing seppuku.

It's not possible for the two of us to just have one person hit me and the other person hit you, right?

That's not called seppuku, that's called mutual beating!

When Wang Dagui and his men came in, Fujiwara Nakayoshi held the knife in both hands, and the tip of the knife was probing his abdomen.

"Oh, they are going to put on a show for us!" Wang Da Kui shouted, holding an assault rifle in his hand.

Fujiwara no Nakayoshi didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly. Was he not prepared yet?
