The battle between the Kawasaki Battalion and the 108th Division had already lasted for more than half a minute.
The soldiers of the 108th Division were less than 300 meters away from the temporary position of the Kawasaki Brigade.
At this point in time, the Kawasaki Brigade still had about 200 soldiers left alive. The number of casualties had already exceeded 1,000.
Such a number of casualties was already quite terrifying. If it were any other army, they would have surrendered long ago.
However, the remaining soldiers of the Kawasaki Brigade still did not surrender.
During this period, the Japanese army was heavily influenced by the samurai spirit of Japan. Surrendering was a very humiliating thing.
At the Japanese army's position, Furuda Izumi pulled out his commanding sword. He looked at Kawasaki Hideo and said with determination,""Your Excellency, it's time to be loyal to the Emperor!”
"Phew!" Kawasaki Hideo took a deep breath and looked at the remaining 200 soldiers. Then, he raised the commanding sword in his hand and shouted,"Stop firing, retreat the bullets, and fix the bayonet!”
In an instant, all the Japanese soldiers stopped shooting. They pulled the bolt and emptied all the bullets in the magazine. Then, they attached the bayonet.
The soldiers of the 108th Division naturally understood the Japanese Army's combat habits very well. Seeing that the Kawasaki Brigade no longer fired, they knew that the Kawasaki Brigade was going to fight with their swords and guns.
A signalman ran to the back of the battlefield and reported to Li Yan,""Master, the Kawasaki Brigade has stopped shooting. They seem to want to fight with their bayonet!”
"Oh!" Li Yan was a little surprised. Then, he strode toward the Kawasaki Brigade.
Soon, Li Yan arrived in front of the soldiers of the 108th Division. He looked at the Japanese soldiers who walked out of the camp and couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression.
Li Yan knew very well that the Japanese army would only choose to fight with their bayonet when they were in a desperate situation. Their purpose was not to show their bravery, but to exhaust the enemy to the greatest extent.
"Master!" Ma Kui, Li Yong, and Zhao Sihai, the four Battalion Commanders, had also arrived. They saluted Li Yan.
On the opposite side, Kawasaki Hideo naturally looked at Li Yan. His expression was cold and he was very unwilling.
After a while, Kawasaki Hideo shouted loudly,""Li Sang, the empire has treated you well. Why did you betray the empire?”
"You've treated me well. What do you mean?" Li Yan laughed." If we switched places, would you still think that Japan treated me well?" he asked. Besides, I'm from Huaxia, not Japan. Major Kawasaki, you should be able to understand what I'm doing!”
"Li Sang, even if you destroy the Kawasaki Brigade, you won't be able to change the overall situation. The Great Japan Empire is the new leader of the mute continent, and China is destined to be conquered by the empire!”Kawasaki Hideo spoke righteously, as if the Japanese army was not engaged in a war of aggression, but a great war of revival.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you two choices. Surrender or send you back to your hometown!”Li Yan said impatiently.
He was still waiting to take over Nanzhang County, so he had no time to chat with Kawasaki Hideo.
Upon hearing this, Kawasaki Hideo raised his sword high and said with a sacred expression,""Li Sang, the Kawasaki Brigade will not surrender. Do you dare to let your soldiers fight us fairly?”
"Fair? Ridiculous! Is there any fairness in this world?" Li Sang snorted. He turned around and grabbed an M60 general machine gun from a machine gunner. Then, he aimed it at the Japanese soldiers who walked out of the position.
Seeing this scene, Kawasaki Hideo glared at him and shouted,""Li Sang, don't you have the courage to fight fair?”
"Winner takes all, loser takes all. You use a saber and I use a spear. This is very fair!”Li Yan smiled coldly and pulled the trigger.
In an instant, the M60 machine gun in Li Yan's hand fired a series of bullets, killing more than ten Japanese soldiers.
Seeing that the master had fired, the soldiers of the 108th Division did not want to lag behind and pulled the trigger one after another.
For the soldiers of the 108th Division, why would they risk their lives to solve a problem that could be solved with bullets?
" Li Sang, you..." Kawasaki Hideo had just spat out these three words when he was hit by seven to eight bullets. He instantly fell to the ground, dead!
In less than a minute, the 200 bullets were fired, and all the Japanese soldiers were killed.
At this moment, the Japanese army's Kawasaki Brigade was officially wiped out, leaving no survivors.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately and collect the military supplies, firearms, and trucks left behind by the Kawasaki Brigade.”Li Yan looked at the soldiers of the 108th Division and gave the order.
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up. The weapons, ammunition, trucks, motorcycles, and so on left behind by the Kawasaki Brigade were all collected.
Due to time constraints, the 108th Division didn't even collect the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and buried them before leading the 108th Division straight to Nanzhang County.
One had to know that there was still the 168th mixed regiment behind them. Li Yan did not want anyone to share the fruits of victory!
Nanzhang County belonged to him. The 168th Mixed Brigade would return to where they came from.
…………………
About half an hour later, the 168th Mixed Brigade with a total of 7,000 people arrived at the battlefield between the 108th Division and the Kawasaki Brigade.
"God, why are there so many corpses of Japanese soldiers here? There are probably thousands of them. Did the 108th Division destroy the Kawasaki Brigade?”
"Look at these huge craters. They were clearly caused by a large caliber artillery shell!”
"That's not right, where did Nanzhang County get the heavy artillery troops?”
The soldiers of the 168th Mixed Brigade were stunned. They thought they were hallucinating, but reality told them that the Kawasaki Brigade was really destroyed by Li Yan.
In Nanzhang County, there were only three troops, namely Li Yan's 108th Division, the 168th Mixed Brigade, and the Kawasaki Brigade.
Therefore, the outcome of the war was obvious. The 108th Division had really wiped out an entire Japanese battalion!
"Li Yan has heavy artillery? How is that possible? Where did he get it?" Sun Shangren was very surprised. He squatted in front of a huge crater and carefully observed the traces of the crater.
"Traveler, according to this crater, it would require at least a 150mm cannon to blast it out!”Cheng Li, the Chief of Staff of the 168th Mixed Brigade, spoke as he counted the craters.
"Based on the number of craters, Li Yan probably has about 10 large-caliber heavy cannons." Cheng Li continued after a while.”
" About 10 large-caliber heavy cannons…" Sun Shangren was very envious. He called over the scouts and asked,""Where did the 108th Division go?”
"Reporting to the traveler, the 108th division is heading towards Nanzhang County, and it's a forced march!”the Scout replied.
"Traveler, it looks like Li Yan doesn't want us to enter Nanzhang County. Otherwise, the 108th Division wouldn't have forced their way in.”Cheng Li guessed.
"The Kawasaki Brigade has been destroyed, and Li Yan has taken over Nanzhang County. He will be in big trouble. The 101st division is stationed in Xiang City, and they will be able to reach Nanzhang in two days.”Sun Shangren could not help but shake his head.
In his opinion, Li Yan should never have occupied Nanzhang County. If he stayed in Nanzhang County, how could the 101st Division of the Japanese Army let him go?
"Traveler, what should we do?" Cheng Li asked.
"Return to Changping Town. At the same time, immediately send a message to the commander of the 9th Battle Area, Chen Cheng, to report the situation of this battle!”Sun Shangren instructed.
