Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

The Japanese samurai army under Yuu-Takeshi Oshima's command is in complete chaos!
At this moment, martial arts skills are of no use.

The crossfire of heavy machine guns and Thor cannons would be devastating; even a master of the Blood Refining Pill Realm would be forced to flee in disarray if caught in a hail of bullets.

in a blink,
Hundreds of Japanese samurai were instantly beaten to a pulp.

Minced meat flew everywhere, and blood mist filled the air.

The power of the Thor's Cannon is extraordinary; if it hits the body, it can blow the body apart, leaving no trace of the body.

The remaining Japanese samurai were quickly forced to hide behind the tanks, trying to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Charge in! Kill—!"

Oshima Yuugo unleashed his full power, brandishing the Maxim heavy machine gun that had been shattered into pieces, and roared.

His arm was grazed by a bullet, and blood kept gushing out.

but,

At this moment, his momentum did not decrease, but instead became even more frenzied, brave, and fearless.

In less than three minutes, the five hundred Japanese samurai under Oshima Yuutake's command were completely routed by the overwhelming firepower of the Ximentang infantry.

Chen Jie saw this scene through his binoculars and a smile appeared on his face.

at this time,

He saw Oshima Yutaka's troops scatter and flee, trying to escape the area covered by artillery fire.

The 20,000 elite Japanese troops were completely defeated, leaving less than 5,000 men.

Chen Jie turned to Liu Qi beside him and said with a smile, "It's Lu Kui's turn now. We have to leave some military merit for the cavalry battalion."

The cavalry battalion is a special unit of the Ximentang Army, specifically designed for pursuit!

Lü Kui was the commander of the cavalry battalion. He was hot-tempered and a notorious warmonger.

After the special operations brigade launched its attack, Lü Kui was eager to show off his skills.

but,

Based on Simon's tactics, his cavalry battalion was completely useless.

Now that the elite corps of Oshima Yutaka of the Kwantung Army has been defeated, it's time to send Lü Kui into battle.

Upon receiving the order, Lü Kui roared with excitement.

He drew a large sword and shouted to the elite cavalry behind him:

"Brothers, it's our turn to eat! Kill!"
finished,

He took the lead and charged towards the routed Japanese soldiers.

In front of the defensive fortifications at the Ximentang garrison.

Da Shan Yan has gone completely mad and is now fighting with all his might.

He ordered his elite troops to charge forward with all their might, and even had the artillery charge ahead.

Bullets rained down like a storm, and soldiers fell one after another on their way to the charge, killed by bullets.

Kobayashi Inosuke, the captain of Oyama Iwao's squires, is currently serving as the captain of the special attack team.

He watched as his elite troops were constantly killed, and his heart ached.

but,

He could not utter a single complaint or utter a sound.

Because now we are only one step away from breaking through the Ximentang camp.

The Kwantung Army had already advanced to within fifty meters of the Ximentang defensive fortifications, and was only a short distance away from completely breaching the Ximentang camp.

Annihilate Ximentang's army!
This was a death order from Da Shan Yan; the mission had to be completed at all costs.

but,

The closer it gets to the final moments, the harder it becomes to break through.

The heavy machine guns equipped by Ximentang were so powerful, and they also had hand grenades, which kept the Kwantung Army at a distance of fifty meters.

After witnessing this scene, Kobayashi Inosuke approached Ooyama Iwao and said in a deep voice:
"General, Kobayashi Inosuke requests permission to go into battle!"

As he was Oyama Iwao's personal guard, although he was temporarily appointed as the captain of the special forces, he was responsible for protecting Oyama Iwao's safety and could not easily leave Oyama Iwao's side.

but,

Given the current stalemate, he wanted to personally lead his team to break through Ximentang's defensive positions.

Upon hearing this, Da Shan Yan nodded slightly in agreement.

Kobayashi Inosuke was one of the most skilled fighters under his command, even surpassing Oshima Yuuto in martial arts prowess.

If he leads the Kwantung Army special attack force in an assault, they should be able to break through Ximentang's defensive positions.

Inside the defensive fortifications of the Ximentang camp, Xu Xiaodao looked somewhat disheveled.

He was still wearing a bulletproof vest, but it was tattered and the helmet on his head had a small dent.

Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet; otherwise, he could have been seriously injured or even killed instantly by the shells.

at this time,

Xu Xiaodao carried a replica AK47 assault rifle and wandered around the defensive position.

Upon spotting an opening, rush forward and unleash a barrage of fire.

When Da Shan Yan launched his final, fierce attack, the ferocity of the attack exceeded Xu Xiao Dao's expectations.

All three sides of the garrison's position were subjected to fierce attacks.

Many elite troops were wounded by the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery, resulting in heavy casualties.

In a corner of the trench in the fortifications, Zhang Hao lay reclining, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, with a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his forehead.

This fierce general of Ximentang was hit by a cannonball from the Kwantung Army, and blood was gushing from his ears, rendering him deaf.

This shows that

How fierce was the final charge of the Kwantung Army!

"Charge! Kill them!"

Kobayashi Inosuke brandished his samurai sword and roared at his special forces squad.

this moment,
He seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory; if he could just break through the Ximen Hall's fortifications, he could wipe out all these damned Daqian people.

The final offensive began at this moment.

The Kwantung Army's heavy artillery had finally bombarded the artillery positions at Ximentang.

Taking advantage of this opening, Kobayashi Inosuke charged to the edge of the Ximen Hall's position.

but,

The moment he turned his head, he was completely dumbfounded.

Several hundred meters away, Oshima Yuutake led the remaining Japanese samurai in a disheveled escape.

Originally, Oshima Yuutake led 20,000 elite Japanese troops to block the Nanjing reinforcements from Ximentang.

According to Da Shanyan's orders, all that is needed is to hold off Ximentang's reinforcements for half an hour.

but,

In less than fifteen minutes, Oshima Yuutake's 20,000 elite troops have dwindled to less than 2,000 men.

Judging from Oshima Yuu's disheveled appearance, he must have been seriously injured.

It should be noted that Oshima Yuutake, like Kobayashi Inosuke, is a master of the Blood Pill Technique, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills.

"Baka—what's going on?"

Kobayashi Inosuke suddenly had a bad feeling.

Behind Oshima Yutaka's fleeing remnants, billowing dust rose as countless people approached under the setting sun.

Upon seeing Oshima Yuutake, Oyama Iwao exclaimed in shock, "Oshima-kun—!"

puff--!
Oshima Yuutake did not answer, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was hit in the abdomen by a bullet from a heavy machine gun, and his arm was also injured; his injuries were quite serious.

Wow——!
At the military camp of Ximentang, everyone saw the dust and smoke under the setting sun in the distance and shouted and screamed excitedly.

Xu Xiaodao laughed wildly:
"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements from Jinling have arrived! Our lord has come in person!"

"Haha—kill them! Wipe out all these Japanese devils!"

The Ximen Hall soldiers, who were already exhausted, heard Xu Xiaodao say that their lord was coming soon.

For a while,
Everyone was bursting with energy, their bodies brimming with boundless power.

This is the power of faith!

In the hearts of all the soldiers in Ximen Hall, Chen Jie was like a totem.

When they heard that he was about to arrive at the battlefield, everyone became extremely excited, as if they had taken drugs.

Da da—da da—!
All of Ximentang's elite troops raised their assault rifles and opened fire fiercely on the Kwantung Army soldiers who were about to charge forward.

Simultaneously,

Heavy machine guns fired wildly, and grenades were thrown everywhere. The Japanese Allied soldiers, who were about to storm the Ximentang position, were horrified when they saw this.

As Oshima Yuutake led 20,000 elite Kwantung Army troops to block Saimondo's reinforcements.

But in less than fifteen minutes, they were almost completely wiped out.

Looking into the distance, dust billowed, followed by thick black smoke; it was unclear how many Ximentang reinforcements had arrived.

Boom—boom—!
The sound of the tank engine echoed all around.

The various units under the command of the Allied Forces of the East, which were launching an attack, originally belonged to the army of Prince Ning, Li Mu, and immediately turned and fled.

Even the elite troops under Oshima Yutaka, the ace of the Kwantung Army, collapsed at the first touch.

Other armies were far inferior to the Kwantung Army in terms of weaponry and equipment.

If we continue fighting, isn't that just suicide?
Following the flight of the army under Prince Ning, Li Mu, the troops under Prince Shu, Li Chuang, and the army under Hong Chaoge also began to retreat.

These troops, who had been following the Kwantung Army, were already seething with resentment.

Nobody wants to be cannon fodder!

These Japanese are wicked; they not only let the Daqian army charge forward, but they even placed supervisors behind them.

Having no chance to escape before, everyone had no choice but to fight desperately and charge forward.

Now that we finally see hope of escape, who the hell would be willing to continue serving the Japanese?
Kobayashi Inosuke had just led the Orient Special Attack Corps to storm Nishimondo's position.

suddenly,
He noticed that the troops behind him were starting to scatter and flee.

"idiot--!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Kobayashi Inosuke couldn't help but curse angrily.

The soldiers who had been following the Japanese special attack team were seen fleeing desperately to the west of the Ximentang position.

As a result,
Kobayashi Inosuke finally broke into Ximentang's camp, but his efforts were in vain.

No reinforcements followed, and the Japanese special attack troops who had just rushed into the Ximentang position were shot dead on the spot by concentrated fire.

Da da da--!
The rhythmic firing of assault rifles rang out, and people fell one after another into pools of blood.

Lu Kui, riding an armored warhorse and carrying an assault rifle, pursued Oshima Yuutake relentlessly.

He is so excited!
Finally, it was the cavalry battalion's turn to go out and hunt down the Japanese devils.

It must be said that the Japanese man in front of me is very skilled in martial arts.

Lu Kui, riding his warhorse, fired a magazine at Oshima Yuutake, but failed to hit him with a single shot.

Fortunately, his other brothers behind him also kept firing at Oshima Yuutake, which forced this fierce Japanese commander to flee in disarray.

They pursued them all the way to the outskirts of Ximentang's position.

at this time,

The Kwantung Army's formation was in complete disarray.

Some of the elite Japanese troops wanted to continue their charge, but their path was blocked by the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

For a while,
The Kwantung Army's formation was thrown into chaos, and the entire Allied Forces of the Orient seemed to have lost control.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lü Kui was overjoyed.

I'll kill you while you're sick!

"Brothers! Kill these Japanese devils! Whoever kills the most, I'll promote him to company commander!"

With Lü Kui's loud shout, all the soldiers of the Ximentang cavalry battalion cheered excitedly.

this moment,
The special attack teams of the Kwantung Army at the forefront had no time to turn back.

When the Japanese Allied Forces saw that Ximen Tang's reinforcements had arrived, they lost their will to fight.

Lü Kui's cavalry battalion was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging directly into the interior of the Japanese Allied Forces.

Da da—da da—!
With the cavalry's rapid infiltration and charge, they broke out from the other end of the Allied Forces.

Then,

They attacked from another direction, cutting and dismembering the Allied Forces of the East.

At this moment, Oyama Iwao lost control of the Kwantung Army.

This situation would never have occurred if they were all elite troops of the Kwantung Army.

but,

When the Kwantung Army arrived in the Hanzhong region of the Great Qian Dynasty, they gathered together the Shu Army, the Northwest Army, and the remnants of Hong Chaoge's army, which was originally a disorganized mess.

Once the army encounters a powerful enemy and its morale is shattered...

Who the hell would listen to the Japanese? They only thought about saving their lives and leaving the battlefield.

not to mention,
With the rapid advance and frenzied firing of Lü Kui's cavalry battalion, the entire Japanese Allied Forces were shattered and scattered.

Suddenly, it felt as if something was blocking the throat of the mountain rock.

Just when they thought they were about to capture Ximentang's position, they ultimately failed.

Lost——!
How could this be the result?
Oshima Yuutake led 20,000 elite Kwantung Army troops to block Ximentang's reinforcements. Could he not even hold them off for half an hour?

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I won't lose—!"

Da Shanyan muttered to himself unconsciously.

He couldn't accept the consequences of failure.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Kobayashi Inosuke called out to Oshima Yuutake, who had just returned to the Kwantung Army camp:
"Lord Oshima Yuutake, you lead General Oyama Iwao to retreat, I will cover the rear!"

At this time, the only elite force of the Kwantung Army that remained intact was his command of over a thousand special attack troops.

When Lü Kui rode his warhorse and led his cavalry battalion in a rampage, he finally encountered a tough nut to crack.

Kobayashi Inosuke led several hundred elite special forces soldiers from the Kwantung Army and charged towards him.

This was the first time Lü Kui had encountered a direct charge from a Japanese samurai.

The Japanese special forces were well-equipped and highly skilled in martial arts; their samurai swords were deadly weapons in close combat.

but,

Lü Kui's cavalry battalion was known for its ruthless attacks on the enemy when they were down, and never for engaging in direct combat.

The heavy armored brigade was responsible for charging into battle, while the cavalry battalion's purpose was to pursue and kill the remaining enemy troops.

Therefore,
Upon seeing Kobayashi Inosuke leading the Kwantung Army special attack force charging towards them, Lü Kui immediately led his cavalry battalion in a retreat without saying a word.

While retreating, they opened fire fiercely with assault rifles.
Although he had a volatile temper and was the most notorious warmonger in Ximentang, he was not stupid.

The Japanese man who led the charge was clearly a top-tier expert.

Once he breaks into the cavalry camp's lines, who can stop him?
Therefore,
Lü Kui decisively retreated and ceased pursuing the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

Kobayashi Inosuke's counterattack finally bought some time for the remnants of the Kwantung Army to retreat.

Oshima Yuutake escorted Oyama Iwao, riding a fast horse towards Ezhou in retreat.

With 150,000 troops mobilized from Ezhou Prefecture and Huangshi Prefecture on their way, Oshima Yuutake could only hope to encounter the reinforcements.

The other fleeing elite Kwantung Army soldiers, upon seeing Oshima Yutaka's battle flag, felt as if they had seen a beacon of light and retreated towards Ezhou.

Iwao Daiyama, escorted by Yuujiro Oshima, escaped the battlefield.

Kobayashi Inosuke was no longer in the mood to continue fighting.
He turned his head and saw rows of steel behemoths emerging from the dust.

Next came mobile field artillery and the highly motivated Ximentang infantry.

this moment,
Kobayashi Inosuke's heart sank to the bottom.

He finally understood why Oshima Yutaka's 20,000 elite Kwantung Army troops collapsed at the first encounter.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat! Fight your way out—!"

Kobayashi Inosuke shouted, pushed off with his feet, swung his samurai sword, and charged outwards first.

Instead of charging towards Ximentang's position, they fled!

Kobayashi Inosuke's martial arts skills are undeniable; his internal energy has reached the late stage of the Blood-Moving Pill Technique.

Led by him, the Kwantung Army's special forces fought their way through Lü Kui's cavalry battalion.

Less than three minutes to go.

The Kwantung Army's special attack force, led by Kobayashi Inosuke, escaped.

However, of the several thousand elite Kwantung Army soldiers who went into battle, fewer than two hundred escaped.

Boom—boom—!
not far away,
Liu Qi, seated in an armored command vehicle, led the Ximentang Heavy Armored Brigade to the front of the position.

All the core elites in the Ximentang garrison were moved to tears upon seeing the golden battle flag with the character "Qian" on it!

The lord has arrived!

The golden battle flag of Ximen Hall was raised, signifying Chen Jie's personal command of the expedition.

Wow!
A golden battle flag bearing the character "乾" fluttered in the wind, making a sharp, rustling sound.

The heavy armored brigade's one hundred tanks were arranged in a square formation, followed by Ximen Tang's fifty thousand elite troops. (End of Chapter)
