"Look! That!" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly found the Qing teenager. He was running east along the village. The Master Zhu looked at the boy running in the distance, snatched the rifle of the soldier next to him, and then shot him with a "bang". From a distance, the young man running was shocked and fell to the ground. When he wanted to get up and run, the Master Zhu pulled the bolt and pulled the flight and shot him again, and then the boy stopped moving.

Seeing the East Asian master shooting the escaped bastard, Ma Sanbao was very gloating. He had known that the little bastard was a disaster, but he couldn't understand Japanese and had no idea that the little bastard had already believed the little bastard's words. When most of the Japanese army bypassed the blocking company and ran to the village, he still didn't see that something was wrong. He just waited for him to pick up the Japanese military ticket that fell from his arms because of running. He found that the Japanese army had believed the little bastard and ran away in the wrong direction. Seeing that the little bastard died, Ma Sanbao smiled at the Master Zhuan and said, "Sir, you're right to kill it long ago, I said that..."

Before Ma Sanbao could finish his words, he was slashed half of his head by Yoshida Nakasa on the side, and then his remaining body thrust for a while before falling down. The Japanese military ticket he was holding was all over the ground. Yoshida Nakasa took back the bloody command knife and put it into the sheath as usual. For him, the Qing people who were hateful when they were a young man in the Qing Dynasty were even more hateful. If he didn't pick those military tickets, he wouldn't have come here. Yoshida Nakasasa, who had chopped Ma Sanbao, was still unhappy. He kicked Ma Sanbao aside and cursed loudly, "Every Qing people deserve to die!"

The situation is critical, and Master Takenami ignored Yoshida Nakasa on the fire and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that the headquarters of the Independent Army is inside the village, so we should act immediately!"

When Yang Rui rushed from the headquarters to the west of Zhuangzi with his gun on his back, the battle started in the north, because the war broke out in the outer area. In fact, the second trench outside the Zhuangzi was only the broken engineer battalion, and more than 500 people had to defend the 800-meter-long Zhuangzi, and the personnel were still very scattered. However, after the Japanese broke through the first trench, they did not go directly to the Zhuangzi, but ran to the land temple north of the village. With just a few minutes of delay, the engineer battalion commander Lin Songjian was able to continuously draw soldiers to the north of the village. There were no shotguns, no mortars, only rifles, grenades and engineer shovels. Can these things resist the Japanese brigade? Lin Songjian didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about this problem. He only knew that if he didn't block it, it would be all over.

There was no temptation. There was no fancy. The first charge of the Japanese army was three squadrons. Many of these soldiers were specially selected veterans. They had been through battle formations and rushed forward fiercely regardless of the bullets and grenades fired from the opposite side. However, when they were about to rush to the defending positions, they suddenly disappeared from the ground. When the soldiers behind caught up, they found that the people from the Forbidden Atsushi had fallen in a deep trench, with people strung across the slender wooden spears, and those who died were terrible. How could such a trench appear on the seemingly flat road ahead? Lieutenant Sato didn't have time to think about it. In the rain of bullets in the defending army, he led his people along the trench for a while. After temptation, he found that it was all such a trap, so he had to go back.

Lin Songjian watched the Japanese army's first charge end, and there was a slight smile on his face. Zhuangzi had a trench to prevent bandits. After the troops were stationed, he arranged some useless tents to cover up several trenches at the key entrances, and sprinkled some thin soil on it. Once people who don't know why, they will fall down the trench and be penetrated by wooden spears there. As for their own troops, there are specific passages.

The first attack failed unexpectedly, and I kept seeing more and more defenders in the village. Major Takenaka said: "Your Excellency, let's attack again. If we can't enter the village, we can only attack north."

"Attack north?" Yoshida Nakasa was surprised.

"Yes. Now we don't have equipment and the trench cannot be broken through, so it is very likely that we will be surrounded by the enemy. Since we cannot enter the village, we will attack the front-line troops of the Independent Army backwards. They have few troops and should be very tired under our continuous attacks. If we suffer from attacks from behind, we will definitely be in chaos, so that the First Division can rush in." Zhu Shang is worthy of being a brainy staff member. The results of attacking the enemy headquarters and attacking the enemy front-line defenders on the back are the same. It doesn't matter whether they kill the enemy's head. The key is to collapse the enemy's defense.

"No! Takeguchi." Yoshida Nakasa did not agree with his idea, "In this way, those disgusting people in the market will boast about their abilities in the future. They must not let their merits be based on our blood!" Yoshida Nakasa said firmly. He also studied at Lu Shihou and then at Lu University. When he was young, he went to Tokyo to study with his sister's money for selling his body. Because he was poor, he could only wear straw sandals, so he was often ridiculed by Tokyo people. Therefore, he vowed to make a name for himself. More than ten years later, the poor boy was already the captain of the Japanese Imperial Army, but he still remembered the past ten years ago. Attacking north was to help the First Division open up the situation. Thinking of his hard work but helping those Tokyo people who have made contributions, he could not accept it at all!

"Your Excellency..." Major Tosara Takeguchi could not have imagined the experience of poverty when the captain of the regiment was young. He thought he was just angry and wanted to persuade him again, but he was immediately rejected by Yoshida Nakasa.

The Japanese army rested for a while and launched a second attack. This time, he was quickly repelled. Major Takenaka said again: "Your Excellency, since you don't attack the north, we should spread the villages as units. The defenders cannot have enough troops to defend all trenches. As long as any squad rushes into the village, it will bring them great chaos. Once the rear is in chaos, the morale of the soldiers on the front line will collapse."

As long as you don't use your own blood to paint the extremely merciless Tokyoites' epaulettes, Yoshida Nakasa would agree to any strategy. So under a brief arrangement, the more than 800 Japanese troops were divided into more than 20 squads and turned around the village. Yang Rui and the guard company were on the northwest side outside the village. He planned to attack the Japanese army from the flank, but as soon as he arranged it, he saw the entire Japanese army divided into countless squads and scattered around. This situation suddenly made him feel cold. This was the one he feared the most. Once these small groups of Japanese troops broke into the village, the rear would be in chaos under destruction. The back would be in chaos, and the front line would be very likely to be

Collapse. Should I explain here? He looked up at the sky, and there was no sun in the sky. The bright red and weird clouds in the morning were lowered, and the fine clouds turned into bunches of grapes, hanging in the air to block the blue sky. Looking at the bright red and bloody clouds, Yang Rui thought: If I were dead here, could these students still revolutionize according to the suicide notes I left before? Can they believe what I wrote? What will China look like in the future? Will it be warlords and Japanese invasion again? ... And how is she liked, are she married? What does the letter she replied to say?...

At the moment when he was about to be defeated, countless thoughts flashed through Yang Rui's mind. He was extremely unwilling but extremely confused. This might be because of the plan and the success of things is in heaven. He comforted himself. But he thought of his reputation after his death, and maybe online forums will continue to argue whether he is a traitor. Thinking of him, he couldn't help but laugh.

The Japanese squad had already broken into the village, and the explosions they made were everywhere, and a few black smoke rose from the village. Chen Guangshou repeatedly thought about whether he would take Yang Rui out, but he turned around and looked at Yang Rui and smiled as he looked up at the sky, and was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, now that the Japanese army has entered Zhuangzi, we should break through."

"It's not easy to break through now. The front-line troops were bitten by the Japanese army and could not break through."

"Sir," Chen Guangshou looked around and whispered: "I'm talking about your breakthrough, not the troops on the front line breaking through."

"No!" Yang Rui flatly refused without thinking. After all, he was surrounded. After all, it was his problem. If he had not let Xiao Yinfeng get on his bed, the matter would not have reached this point, because he had wiped out the entire army and then he would escape without any damage. He could not do it! He could not live with such heavy guilt!

"Sir, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. The Japanese spy's fault is ours. If I hadn't told Liezu that night that Mr. Liezu would have found a woman, he would not have let the Japanese woman come in!" Chen Guangshou told the secret of that night. His heart suddenly became empty. Thinking of Xu Liezu's death, he was even more determined to protect Yang Rui.

Chen Guangshou's words made Yang Rui understand a little. Yes, men in this era were always married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and they were all twenty-eight years old. They were not even as 28 years old. In this era, they were unimaginable! Yang Rui sighed when he thought of this and said, "Just leave a platoon to protect me. Everyone else went to the village to clear out the Japanese army. The faster the better. As the chaos lasted, the front line would collapse."

Seeing that Yang Rui still refused to listen to his advice, Chen Guangshou suddenly lowered his body and knelt in front of Yang Rui, "Sir, I beg you. Let's go!"

"You!" Yang Rui hated the most was kneeling down. Even in the late Qing Dynasty, he didn't want to kneel down by anyone, nor did he want the students he taught himself to kneel down. "Get up!"

Chen Guangshou remained indifferent to Yang Rui's words. Not only did he not get up, he kowtowed heavily on the ground, "Sir, go quickly!"

"You are really..." Seeing that he could not get up, Yang Rui turned around and said to the others in the guard company: "Now listen to my orders, right away..."

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, the guard company knelt on the ground: "Commander, let's retreat! The commander is a good person and values ​​loyalty, but we are all rescued by the commander. If the commander has some shortcomings, we..."

They all refused to obey the orders. Yang Rui had no choice but to take the rifles in front and back, put them on the bayonet, and said, "If you want to kneel down, just kneel down. I still have thousands of people inside, I want to protect their rear." After that, he was about to go into the village.

As soon as he left, Chen Guangshou hugged him. He raised his head and said, "Sir, it's too late. Let's retreat quickly!"

"Let me go!" Yang Rui wanted to be angry but couldn't give it up.

"Don't let go!" Chen Guangshou seemed to be possessed by Xu Liezu. He was usually gentle and now extremely strong!

"If you don't let me go, shoot me!" Yang Rui threw away the rifle, pulled out his gun and pointed it at his temple. He shouted loudly, "If you want to die, die together. If you want to break through, you will break through. What's my point of escaping like this?!"

Maybe it was because he could see that Yang Rui was serious, or maybe he was shocked by Yang Rui's aura. Chen Guangshou loosened his hand and Yang Rui's legs were pulled out. Seeing his husband walking farther and farther away with his pistol, he immediately got up from the ground. The soldiers of the guard company also got up and hurriedly followed with his gun.

When Yang Rui entered Zhuangzi again, the enemy and our army were already jealous. Hundreds of Japanese troops besieged the headquarters, and hundreds of remaining soldiers of the engineering battalion struggled to support it. As more and more Japanese troops rushed forward with explosives and died with the defenders, the engineering battalion took military academy students as the backbone and also brought soldiers to throw away the engineer shovels. He carried bundles of grenades and rushed over. After the explosion, several Japanese soldiers were always pulled to the back. It was like this suicide attack that the two sides fought more and more primitively, and the killing became more and more tragic, and the corpses on the ground became more and more.

The more, the blood became thicker and thicker. Everyone... Everyone forgot all combat skills and fought against meat only with the instinct of animals... Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them. The Japanese army rushed forward more and more, Lin Songjian also carried a bundle of grenades. Just as he got up, a shout suddenly sounded from behind the Japanese army. This was Yang Rui and the guard company rushed in from behind the Japanese army. The appearance of these new forces immediately penetrated the Japanese army from behind to front. As the guard company fought in a very well-organized manner, fewer and fewer Japanese army.

Finally recovered. Lin Songjian looked at the guard company that was pressing against the Japanese army's sting in the distance. The heavy grenade made him fall to the ground. The Japanese Grandmaster Shoto also saw that his side had no hope of conquering the enemy headquarters, so he led the Japanese army to the village to set fires and create chaos. Although the guard company tried its best to pursue, the village was still in a mess. More than a dozen houses had been lit. Yang Rui immediately ordered the soldiers to put out the fire, and then he returned to the headquarters. Just as he was praying that the morale of the front line would not be shaken, Bei Shou, who had answered the phone, ran over, "Sir, the northern position... has been broken through! The Japanese army will soon..."

"What?!" Yang Rui jumped up in shock, thinking that it should be south, who knows...

"Yang, you should break through!" Leo stood up at this time. In the dim half-basement, he was in a tidy manner, not at all hurried. "I will lead the troops to hold on until the last moment. Go away quickly, your revolution needs you."

"No. You have to go together." Yang Rui shook his head, nervous and hesitated, but after a while he calmed down. He sat down heavily and said another sentence with great firm determination, "You have to be together!"

As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, a gust of wind blew outside, which made half of the basement sweat blew, and the documents on the table blew all over the floor. Before the cooler was finished, the sand and dust outside was swept up by the wind. The wind became heavier and heavier, and the sand and dust were rolled up. In an instant, all the sand and dust in the world were swept up. The strange red clouds in the sky were gone, and the whole sky became dark. It seemed that the world was only wind. What's wrong? Yang Rui looked at the increasingly strong wind outside in surprise, not understanding how this phoenix got up, and the people in the headquarters were also surprised. Suddenly, several tents were overturned, and the wind swept them northward. The tents disappeared under the dim sky.

At this time, a staff officer suddenly shouted, "Ah... it's Nanfeng. It's Nanfeng!" He jumped up happily. "We have saved it! We have saved it!"

Yang Rui looked at the staff officer's cheerful look and felt that he was dreaming. A word caused a storm of wind and darkness. Is God saving himself again? The south wind is the south wind, and the wind blows north. If there is a raid in the north, then... and the south. If the Japanese army raids, it should... Just when Yang Rui wanted to take advantage of the wind, several ammunition carriages were swept up by the wind and smashed at the door. The telephone line outside was also pulled up by the squeal of the communication soldiers next door. The strong wind was like pulling out weeds, and then disappeared into the already confused sky.

Seeing that sand and dust kept pouring in, the staff quickly closed the doors and windows tightly, and the lanterns were lit in the room, and a nest of people sat together.

"Yang, you must be God's darling, even God is blessing you!" Leo could not imagine why the wind blew up well, and it was time to blow neither early nor late. He could only explain it with God. He picked up the wine he had not finished drinking before and said, "To you! God's darling."

After Leo finished speaking, he took a sip, but he accidentally choked out too quickly. Everyone laughed at his embarrassed look.

When Yang Rui heard what he said so mysteriously, he laughed, "Now the wind is strong, the Japanese army cannot attack, but the wind will always stop, then..."

Leo finally gasped, and he interrupted Yang Rui and said, "It won't stop, otherwise God wouldn't let it shave. Believe me!"

Although Leo has always been wrong in many arguments with Yang Rui, this time he was right. From the wind that blew from 9:00 a.m. to sunset. Before the wind stopped, the Japanese army that broke into the northern position was driven away by Xie Cheng's third regiment in the wind and sand. Although there was a little fire at the outer positions that night, they were safe all night. By the next morning, all positions found that the Japanese army disappeared. Yang Rui didn't understand why the Japanese army disappeared completely. He just climbed the watchtower in the village and saw the army floating like dark clouds in the south from the telescope, he instantly understood that it was the Russian army, and the Russian army was retreating! A large-scale retreat! It seemed that he had finally escaped. Yang Rui, who had been worried all night, suddenly collapsed on the watchtower.

At this time, a team of cavalry rushed into the village, and the leading Colonel Madlitov rode his horse and shouted, "Ula! Ula!" Then he shouted to Yang Rui on the observation deck, "Wang, I'm back, I'm back with reinforcements!"

Yang Rui was angry when he saw his slutty look. When he was fighting hard, the bastard disappeared. He didn't see a single hair in the reinforcements. He pulled out his pistol and threw it down. The pistol hit Madlitov's nose. Then the colonel screamed and covered his nose and slipped away.

After smashing the bitch Madlitov, Yang Rui's heart seemed to calm down. He lay flat on the high observation deck, looking at the clear blue sky. At this time, the rising sun in early spring shone on his face, and the soft warm breeze caressed his hair. Such a comfortable spring day made him sing songs involuntarily:

I still remember the spring many years ago

I hadn't cut my long hair at that time

There is no revolution or her

No fighting day and night

But I was so happy at the beginning

Although there is only one broken guitar

On the street, under the bridge, in the field

Singing the unwilling song

If one day, I have no support

Please leave me in that time

If one day, I will leave quietly

Please bury me in this spring

...

End of Volume B

PS: The following excerpts from the novel "Cloud of Sakao":

On the nine days before the battle was about to come to an end, unusual weather appeared on the fields of Manchuria, making the battle even more dramatic. "The great dust was blowing", which is recorded in all combat reports.

Kitahara Nobua, who served as a first-class military doctor (military medical captain) behind the Guard Division of the Kuroki Army, dictated this way ("Russian Japanese War Tsubasa" written by Chiyo Uno:

"Maybe it was around nine o'clock in the morning, a strong wind blew, and the book (in the document) also wrote about the situation at that time. The strong wind blew up sand and dust, and I couldn't see my fingers, just like the tornado I had encountered in the training grounds in Qingshan before, and it was the south wind. We were in the limelight, and the enemy could not see us at all. Therefore, if they pulled the cannon carts and walked past those positions (Russian positions). The gust of wind was really a god-wind for us, but it became the cause of Russia's defeat.

He called the strong wind at that time the Japanese army's kamikaze, which was indeed the case. However, the reserve infantry brigade on the front line of the Nogi Army was attacked by the Russian army under this strong wind. The officers did not see the soldiers, and the soldiers did not see the officials. Each soldier's fear reached the extreme and finally retreated one after another. During the entire strong wind, he could hardly fire the artillery. The strong wind continued until sunset.
