The Japanese army slaughtered all the Chengjiazhai, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
The houses were burned to the ground, and the valley was burned to a white ground.
Only then did they return with satisfaction.
When the troops marched to Tiger Leaping Stream, they were suddenly hit by fierce fire.
A bullet killed the captain.
The troops were leaderless and in disarray for a while.
Before joining the military police, Takayoshi Hashimoto served in the Kwantung Army.
Li had served as a squad leader and had rich experience in commanding grassroots field troops.
He quickly took over the command, calmly issued orders and organized counterattacks.
From the sound of the exchange of fire, it could be distinguished that at least five enemy grenade launchers were firing.
The short bursts of light machine gun fire were short and powerful.
Hashimoto Takayoshi knew that he had encountered the enemy's elite troops.
He asked the Takasago soldiers to go back to the rear to contain the enemy. , and when the battle started, he ordered the military police to take the lead in breaking out.
There is an iron cable bridge on the Tiger Leaping Stream.
The bridge is paved with wooden planks.
People walking on it sway left and right, and they can see the abyss below.
Because the bridge is too narrow, it can only accommodate a single person to pass.
Major Hashimoto asked the soldiers to run across.
There was a delay, and the first soldier ran across quickly, causing the chain bridge to shake.
Just as he was about to reach the other side, a shot flew and the soldier's head exploded.
There is a sniper At this moment, even a sniper could not stop the troops from breaking through.
Under the urging of Major Hashimoto, the soldiers continued to cross the bridge with their backs bent.
Machine guns and grenade launchers fired wildly, but the unknown sniper was still there.
Harvesting life one shot at a time, at first he only hit the head, but later he didn't care about headshots anymore, he just hit the body, arms and legs, as long as he could hit them.
Ten minutes later, the bridge was already piled with corpses, and no one set foot on the cliff on the other side of the Tiger Leaping Stream.
Hashimoto was anxious, but helpless.
Little did he know that on the hill opposite, Shuan Zhu was followed by a squad of soldiers.
Half of the squad helped him press the bullet, and half of the squad helped him pull the bolt.
The young hunter only had to aim the gun, pull the trigger, and shoot a A Japanese soldier was sent to hell.
Shuan Zhu's heart was frozen.
His father was dead, Uncle Zhao was dead, and the smoke in Chengjiazhai was rising into the sky.
His mother and fellow villagers must be in danger.
At this moment, he had no time to be sad, because he was a hunter, he was a soldier, and he The only thing to do is to hunt down these wild beasts and robbers who break into their homes, burn, kill and loot.
Hashimoto Takayoshi pushed a soldier: "Chong" The soldier trembled and held it in for a while, then suddenly shouted and rushed out with his rifle, jumping up and down the chain bridge.
Major Hashimoto lay down in the grass and picked up a telescope to carefully observe what was happening on the other side.
Suddenly Seeing a flash of fire, the soldiers on the bridge fell to the sky with bloody arrows shooting from their chests.
"Fire!"
Hashimoto shouted pointing in the distance.
The grenade and the heavy machine gun fired at the same time.
Grass blades and rocks flew everywhere.
The bolt was hit by a shrapnel and he fainted immediately.
As soon as he fell down, he sniped.
The team lost more than half of its combat effectiveness.
The Japanese army regrouped and rushed across the chain bridge in one go.
When Shuan Zhu woke up, he was already lying in the Eighth Route Army Field Hospital.

Ye Xuefeng sat by the bed and looked at him with concern: "Shuan Zhu, you have been lying there for three days and three nights."
"Have the Japanese been eliminated?"
Shuan Zhu asked eagerly.
Ye Xuefeng shook his head: "The Japs' firepower was too strong.
We couldn't wipe out all the enemies and they escaped.
However, we also killed dozens of enemies in this battle.
It can be regarded as revenge for the folks in Chengjiazhai."
Ye Wei came over and said, "Shuan'er, you must be hungry after lying down for so long.
What do you want to eat?"
"Auntie, I don't have the ability to kill Hashimoto."
Shuan Zhu was extremely ashamed.
"I can't kill him this time, there will be another time."
Ye Wei cheered him up.
Since Zhao Ziming's sacrifice, she has become much more mature.
She can work and take care of her children without missing a beat.
She is busy all day long without her feet touching the floor.
For a few hours, she was eating in a haphazard manner, which made people feel distressed.
Everyone knew that she was using busyness to drive away the sadness.
"We still have a chance."
Ye Xuefeng agreed.
Old Sean came to check Shuan Zhu's wound.
It healed very well and was basically no serious problem.
He said with emotion: "Young man, you are as strong as a leopard.
You are really a born warrior."
Shuan Zhu got out of bed and looked around: "Where's my gun?"
Ye Xuefeng said: "Shuan Zhu, come back."
Shuan Zhu was silent for a while and said: "No, I have important things to do and I don't have freedom in the team."
Ye Xuefeng said: "You can't kill Hashimoto with your own strength.
The Eighth Route Army is helping you take revenge, so why bother yourself like this?"
Shuan Zhu had a very stubborn temper and said nothing.
He packed up his things and staggered away.
Ye Wei, who came back with roasted potatoes, asked in surprise: "Shuan'er, where are you going?"
"Let's go fight."
Shuan Zhu's figure gradually faded away, and the Daqingshan Mountains in June were filled with azalea.
At the end of May, Chen Zikun arrived in London, England, to participate in the "Operation Overlord" landing in France as a military observer of the Republic of China.
This month is already very hot in China, but the temperature in Europe is not that high.
Coupled with the continuous rain, everyone feels irritable and anxious, wishing that the weather would clear up immediately and go to France.
As a senior observer of the Allied Forces, Chen Zikun was allowed to participate in the military conference chaired by Eisenhower and had a certain understanding of combat deployment.
The Allied Forces mobilized hundreds of main warships and thousands of aircraft, and hundreds of thousands of troops to forcefully cross the English Channel and land in Normandy, clearing the ice for the past year.
The shame of escaping from Dunkirk.
The scale of the entire battle and the number of troops and weapons used were astonishing.
Especially Chen Zikun from China was simply impressed.
The U.S. military was so powerful that it produced countless warships in just two years.
Tanks, aircraft, and artillery have armed almost all the armies of democratic countries.
If these forces were placed in Asia, they would be as devastating as any, and Japan would not be able to fight back.

On the afternoon of June 5th, Chen Zikun and his inseparable orderly Jimmy White boarded an American destroyer.
Originally, Eisenhower had prepared a battleship with a much larger tonnage for him, but Chen Zikun believed that the destroyer was more convenient for approaching the beach for observation.
That's why I boarded the Frankfurt.
In the evening, the warships left the port and formed a fleet on the ocean.
The sea breeze was howling.
The fleet was majestic under the night sky.
A black fleet of aircraft flew past.
They were gliders full of paratroopers.
The US 82nd Division and the 101st Division were ordered to airdrop behind enemy lines to seize important bridges and arteries. , many of these brave soldiers will die tonight.
At dawn, the fleet approached the French coastline.
The explosions of bombers bombarding the German Atlantic Wall could be heard in the distance.
The large-caliber naval guns of battleships and cruisers also joined the ranks of supporting the ground, their muzzles flashing.
There was a huge orange-red muzzle flame, and the sound was deafening.
On the Frankfurt, Chen Zikun picked up a high-powered telescope and looked at Omaha Beach in the distance, which was one of the Allied landing sites.
Countless landing boats sailed towards the beach in the wind and waves.
When they were still dozens of meters away from the coast, the hatch opened and the infantrymen carried on their backs.
They jumped into the sea carrying heavy equipment.
Many people were shot to death by machine guns before they even climbed ashore.
In just twenty minutes, the water in the shoal turned red.
The landing troops made no progress and were forced to be slaughtered on the beach.
The German G42 machine guns kept ringing.
The sound was like tearing linen.
It can be seen that the rate of fire was high.
Flat-fire cannons and mortars of various calibers exploded on the beach.
There were masses of flesh and blood, and the Allies did not have any weapons to fight back.
Most of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in the landing craft.
The infantry lost their helmets and armor, and many people did not even have weapons in their hands.
Unable to advance and unable to retreat, the lives of thousands of young men were hanging by a thread.
Chen Zikun could no longer sit still and asked the captain of the Frankfurt to come close and shoot to support the infantry.
The captain is a naval lieutenant colonel, and he is also very anxious, but warships are no better than landing craft.
They can sail very close to the beach, and can only fire a few shots a few sea miles away.
"We must get closer, get closer."
Chen Zikun urged loudly in the bridge command room.
The naval officers stared at him dissatisfied, and the captain even refused rudely: "I'm sorry, sir, you have no right to order me."
Chen Zikun smiled bitterly.
He was just a military observer.
Even if he had the qualifications of a US Army Commodore, he could not give orders to the navy.
He immediately said: "Okay, please give me a lifeboat."
The captain said suspiciously: "Sir, what are you going to do?"
"I want to land and be with the boys."
Chen Zikun was not joking.
He ordered Jimmy: "Put on the helmet and my rifle."
"Yes."
Jimmy ran back to the cabin and took two helmets, a Garland rifle and a carbine.
Chen Zikun put on the helmet, tightened the chin strap, hung the grenade, and pulled the bolt with a clatter.

A group of naval officers were dumbfounded.
They had no idea that a Chinese would have such courage.
"Are the lifeboats ready?"
Chen Zikun asked.
The captain said: "General, please wait a moment, I will try to move closer."
The naval officers stopped grumbling and complaining.
They all had serious expressions and repeated the captain's orders.
The Frankfurt went straight forward and rushed to Omaha Beach in a stranded posture.
The destroyer rushed to a place less than one kilometer away from the coast.
It fired a shot and knocked out a German firepower point.
The sailors screamed excitedly.
Under the command of the captain, the warship turned sideways to the beach and opened up its gun fire. , supporting the landing infantry with intensive artillery fire.
"Good job" Chen Zikun raised his thumb.
The captain returned his gesture of victory.
Led by the destroyer Frankfurt, more destroyers approached and fired.
The situation on the beach improved greatly, but they were still unable to launch an attack.
Chen Zikun still insisted on landing in a lifeboat.
The captain hesitated but agreed to him and sent four sailors to paddle for him.
The rubber boat was put into the water and a group of people climbed down the rope.
Chen Zikun was lowering his head to check his rifle when he suddenly heard a shout from above: "general" Looking up, several sailors solemnly saluted him.
Chen Zikun raised his right hand to the brim of his helmet and waved forward gracefully.
Under the cover of the destroyer's fire, the lifeboat rushed to the shore.
Chen Zikun waded to the shore in knee-high water.
His arrival shocked the struggling infantrymen on the beach.
Because there is a shining star on his helmet
