This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

Chapter 476 Support Arrives

Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers also realized that Zheng Xian's side seemed to be out of bullets.

At this moment, a Japanese lieutenant, Shibajiro Sakai, lay on his bunker and watched for a long time, confirming that the trench at the forefront, which had been occupied by the enemy, was finally quiet.

His face lit up with joy, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The Imperial infantry squadron he was leading consisted of newly recruited soldiers with virtually no combat experience. He had brought them here primarily to broaden their horizons, given the relatively small number of enemies.

But to my surprise, the other side chose to break out from his direction, and although they were outnumbered, their marksmanship was ridiculously accurate.

In addition, it was nighttime, and his soldiers rushed out before they even saw the person before their heads flew off.

By now, they have lost nearly a small squad of Imperial warriors.

It accounted for one-quarter of his total forces.

If the enemy had enough bullets, Sakai Shibajiro probably would have to lose another squad of Imperial soldiers to wipe out the enemy.

Of course, there was also the reason why Tenko ordered that the prisoners be taken alive, otherwise Sakai Tsurijiro would have already been unable to resist bombarding them with cannons.

After confirming several times that the enemy on the other side had run out of bullets, Sakai Shibajiro stood up from his bunker, raised his command sword, and shouted at the Japanese soldiers around him.

"Haaah haaah, the other side is out of bullets, charge up and capture them alive."

The Japanese recruits, who were somewhat intimidated by Zheng Xian and his men, hesitated a bit as they peeked out from their bunkers after hearing their company commander's words.

They cautiously began to approach the direction where Zheng Xian and the others were hiding. Their steps were smaller and slower than the last.

It was as if they were ready to run away at any moment if there was even the slightest sign of something amiss in the opposite trench.

Sakai Tsurijiro was furious when he saw this.

He pulled out his pistol and fired at a Japanese soldier who was cowering behind his comrade.

"Click."

The expected gunshot did not ring out; instead, there was only the sound of metal clashing from the Japanese lieutenant's hand.

Sakai Shibajiro was taken aback and immediately looked down at the Nambu XIV pistol in his hand.

It turned out that the pistol in his hand had jammed.

“Bagya Road!!!”

Sakai Tsurijiro was even angrier. He threw his Nambu XIV pistol on the ground, raised his command sword, and charged forward himself.

He took a few steps and arrived at the Japanese soldier who was hiding behind his teammate.

He raised his sword and slashed downwards.

"Pfft!"

"what!!!!!"

A sound of a knife piercing flesh rang out.

The Japanese soldier who was struck in the back by Sakai Shibajiro let out a shrill scream.

At this moment, a wound more than 20 centimeters long and deep enough to expose bone appeared on the back of the Japanese soldier.

But Sakai Shibajiro did not stop what he was doing.

He raised his right foot and stomped on the chest of the still screaming Japanese soldier, then plunged the command sword in his hand vertically into the soldier's neck.

"Zi La~"

A sound of metal scraping against bone rang out.

The Japanese soldier, who had been screaming in agony, convulsed for a few seconds and then fell silent.

Seeing this, the Japanese recruits around them felt a chill run down their spines, and their pace quickened visibly.

They charged toward the trench where Zheng Xian and his men were hiding.

Sakai Shibajiro nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and at the same time forcefully pulled out the command knife that had been stuck in his neck.

The moment the knife was drawn, a spurt of blood also gushed from the neck of the Japanese soldier's corpse at Sakai Shibajiro's feet.

They directly stained Sakai Shibajiro's military uniform red.

This scene sent chills down the spines of the Japanese recruits surrounding Sakai Shibajiro.

My pace quickened.

When the first few Japanese recruits rushed to within 10 meters of Zheng Xian's trench and before any bullets were fired.

The new Japanese recruits suddenly became bolder. They increased their speed from what they had been holding back to full speed and charged even more aggressively with their Type 38 rifles fitted with bayonets.

The movements of the Japanese soldiers were also spotted by Zheng Xian and others who were lying in the trenches.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were less than 10 meters tall.

Zheng Xian also gripped his Type 38 rifle tightly, which was now empty of bullets. A gleaming bayonet was also stuck in the muzzle.

"Prepare for close combat. Don't give up until the very last moment. I believe Xiao Luo will definitely find another way."

I believe in him just as you believe in me. Did you all hear me?

"Yes!!"

Zheng Xian's words gave the team members, who had already resolved to die, a glimmer of hope.

One by one, they drew their short swords, preparing for close combat.

5 m.

4 m.

3 m.

At this moment, Zheng Xian had already raised his Type 38 rifle and aimed it at a Japanese soldier who was charging at the front of the column.

"kill!!!!!"

Zheng Xian let out this loud roar.

He had already stepped onto the trench, and at the same time, the Type 38 rifle with the bayonet in his hand was thrust out.

The bayonet, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, pierced the chest of the leading Japanese soldier with unstoppable momentum, amidst the terrified gaze of the soldier.

"Pfft!"

A sound of a knife piercing flesh rang out.

The leading Japanese soldier stared in disbelief at the bayonet piercing his chest.

At the same time, the Type 38 rifle he had been raising fell to the ground. Instinctively, the Japanese soldier's hands reached out to grab the Type 38 rifle piercing his chest.

But Zheng Xian, a veteran of countless battles, would not give the Japanese soldiers a chance to grab his weapon. He raised his foot and delivered a straight kick, sending the Japanese soldier flying.

With Zheng Xian's flying kick, the Japanese soldier's hand hadn't even touched the bayonet piercing his chest before he was sent flying backward.

He knocked the two Japanese recruits who were following closely behind him to the ground.

Li Qi and others behind Zheng Xian immediately jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the nearest Japanese soldier.

But just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the previously silent sky.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers and Zheng Xian and others.

The seasoned veterans, Zheng Xian and his men, immediately understood what was causing the sound.

Zheng Xian's expression changed drastically. After forcing back the two Japanese soldiers who were fighting him with bayonets, he immediately shouted loudly to the surrounding team members.

"Get back quickly!! Shells are coming!!!"

Actually, Zheng didn't need to shout. The people he brought this time were all veterans who had been through many battles. They used to hear this kind of voice all the time on the battlefield.

One by one, they turned around and jumped into the trenches behind them.

Wang Youde, who had just struggled to kill a Japanese soldier in the trench, was pounced on by Li Qi, who had run back, as soon as he climbed out of the trench.

"You son of a bitch, Li Qi, you pounced on me..."

"Boom!"

A loud explosion rang out on the Japanese position at the edge of the forest. This also silenced Wang Youde, cutting off his remaining words.
