Battalion Commander Zhang Maocai
2 Fierce Battle 1

Inscription: Once upon a time, in this vast land, we hated the Qin people, the Jurchen people, the Khitans, the Hu people, the Mongolians, and the Manchu people as much as we hated the Japanese. After thousands of years, these races have either declined or survived. The dark records of their atrocities have become history that we all talk about.

On January 1 to 3, 1933, on the other side of China, Shanhaiguan fell. The Japanese garrison captain Luo Quan planned to create a grenade explosion in front of the military police detachment in Yuguan. After the incident, Luo Quan insisted that it was the work of the Chinese army. He commanded the troops to attack Nanguan and the station, and called the commander of the Guandong Army and the Tianjin garrison to request support. The Japanese soldiers who attacked Shanhaiguan that night were all repelled by the Chinese defenders on Shanhaiguan. In order to deal with the Japanese attack, the garrison command ordered the Yuguan garrison to be on standby.

In the past few days, the Chinese soldiers had tenaciously resisted the fierce artillery attacks of the Japanese army that attempted to enter the pass. Finally, at 10 o'clock on the 3rd, the Japanese army launched a key attack on the southeast corner and the south gate under the cover of their reinforcements, warships and tanks. The Chinese defenders fought back tenaciously with machine guns, mortars, and grenades. After a fierce battle, both sides had wins and losses. At 14:00, the Japanese army launched a general attack. The artillery fire was even more fierce. The soldiers guarding the south gate were all killed, and the Japanese tanks took advantage of the situation to break in. At this point, Yuguan was occupied by the Japanese. The 9th Brigade of the Chinese army had less than 2000 soldiers and fought against the enemy for three days.

In this battle, more than half of the officers and soldiers were killed or injured, 4000 civilians were killed or injured, and more than 500 houses and buildings were destroyed by artillery fire.

After the fall of Shanhaiguan, the smell of the newspapers in Beiping had long been spread to the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army of the Kuomingtang. One could imagine the saliva in the mouths of the people outside the Great Wall. The contempt and expectations of these warlords in the eyes of the people. Zhang Maocai spread out the newspaper and read the contents to the brothers during their break. This was because more than a hundred people were illiterate. Ma Yangmin, Li Mingshu, and Yang Qingyi remained silent and did not express their opinions. Other than Niu Guangliang's 'f * cking' sound, some of his brothers also responded.

Foreigners had said that China had the best soldiers, but it did not have the best superiors and commanders. Niu Guangliang and the others felt that this sentence was the best reference. In the eyes of some of the more boorish people in the team, this group of higher-ups were partying all day and night. They didn't even know what they were doing. It made people resentful of the world, jealous of the secular world, and dissatisfied with reality. However, Lee Myung Soo had a feeling that no matter which world he went to, it would be like this. Many North Koreans still wondered why they were born in this world. On the other hand, Yang Qing said that it was already for the best that we were able to gather together until the very end. Ma Yangmin said,"During the Eight-Nation Alliance, Empress Dowager Cixi and the Emperor were cursed by people like Liang…My ancestors even mentioned that a carved vase from a noble family was enough to buy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and feed the refugees."

However, some brothers would say to Zhang Maocai in unison, Battalion Commander, you can take care of us after we die.] [Absolutely. Your superior is the one who needs to be held accountable.]] Zhang Maocai would respond to them with a smile,[All of you can die.] Then, he would teach them a lesson.

Actually, Zhang Maocai was only a few ranks higher than his brothers…The higher-ups were really suffering in some aspects. When Zhang Xueliang lost a battle because of his superior, he was scolded by the people of the country. It was difficult for him to even walk on the streets.

In the past few hours, no one had received any missions. Dozens of days ago, Ma Yangmin saw this Japanese escort again…At that time, Ma Yangmin was surrounded by more than ten Japanese soldiers, and his face was covered in his own blood. His pupils began to shrink as he stared. Hirai, who was wearing a long coat and a slightly thick kimono, sneered at this. His eyes were cold and unfathomable, mixed with disgust. He swung his gun and shot in Ma Yangmin's direction without hesitation. Ma Yangmin was really a good experimental subject to be dissected and studied if he died. Little Sakata would definitely like him very much. Although Dr. Kosakata had an unusual passion for dissecting the dead, he was different from many military doctors and experimenters in the army. He would never dissect living people. Even for the Chinese, Koreans, and other foreign races…because of this, he was despised by some people in the army, and his medical title was not high. But at least Hirai thought that he made him very happy. However, after Ma Yang Min was knocked down by a few Japanese soldiers, he actually drove a horse away. What was annoying was that the bullets almost hit his own people, or he would use them as shields. On the ground, dozens of Japanese soldiers were moaning.

However, Ma Yangmin threw something in his direction like a ray of light. Perhaps he didn't even know that this was something that Hirai liked. Ma Yangmin used it to vent his anger on him and punched a hole in a tree on the spot. A year ago, it was stolen by a colleague and now it was in the hands of a Japanese soldier as a reward. The Japanese soldier usually kept it very carefully. Now, he was lying on a stretcher and groaning in pain. After that, they might even be tested to have some kind of internal injury and return home.

The pony that had galloped into the bushes squatted down by the lake and wiped its forehead, its eyes blinking. Li Mingshu, who had his hat lowered, walked over to the pony. After confirming that it was not his blood, he closed his eyes and said,[You have to be careful of the Japanese during times like this. If you go overboard with them, you will get burned.]]

[I didn't expect to be blocked to this extent today. Ma Yangmin said,"I just sent a quick letter to a battalion. On the way, I let my horse run away."]

[It should be said that they had planned this beforehand.] Li Mingshu's eyebrows were a little twisted, like a cat's eye that had accumulated something and turned cold.

[One of the doctors even said that I was an extremely intoxicating Chinese man. Ma Yangmin said.

[If you really want to get lost…] Li Mingshu threw it away from his arm. At this moment, he seemed to be trying to throw something out of his hand. As if something was climbing up, he said, They probably want to make you their experimental subject. You will encounter many more than the civilian soldiers.]

[I understand,] Ma Yangmin answered seriously.

Now, Zhang Maocai's battalion had received a special order to send Zhang Maocai's battalion along with the other battalions to reinforce the battle in front of them. Zhang Maocai shouted to the entire camp, Everyone, gather! [Attention!] At the same time, the entire battalion began to follow closely in the direction of Xifeng Pass. The sounds of cannon fire could be heard from the world ahead. From time to time, some red bombs would explode on the short grass. Ge Lingyi and her medical team also followed the battalion. The Japanese planes in the sky were rumbling and buzzing.

The entire battalion only arrived at a military fortress at night. There were many injured people here, and the supplies in front of them would pass through here. If their battalion was called out like this, they would probably all be sent to the front lines. This place was much better than the reinforcements at the front line. However, at night, the Japanese planes also flew through the dark night sky one after another, occasionally illuminating some of the lights down to inquire. A large group of doctors, medics, and nurses were currently hiding in a larger hole in the wall, taking care of and bandaging the wounded who were constantly being sent here. Among the wounded, some were already on the verge of death and had fallen into a coma. Some were moaning and shouting like small animals. Some were muttering something in a half-asleep state. Some were twitching and hitting their bodies or shouting the names of their parents...

In this chaotic environment where the lighting was not strong, breathing in the air made people feel inexplicably difficult and uneasy.

Zhang Maocai and his brothers in the camp were quietly and coldly lying dormant in the bushes, choosing how to arrange the formation and terrain, aiming at the fierce battle that might be coming tomorrow.
