The 1870-style imitation Tang knives are a batch of commemorative sabers specially made by the Chinese to commemorate the victory of French popularization. It can be said that they are cost-effective!
A total of 1,870 were built, all of which were awarded to officers and soldiers with meritorious services during the Franco-Prussian War!
The knife has been folded and forged more than a hundred times, and the most advanced steel clamping method is used. Two layers of low carbon steel sandwich a piece of high carbon steel. This process not only ensures the sharpness of the Tang knife but also the due toughness!
The scabbards are all inlaid with gold and silver according to different levels, and some are even studded with gems. The handle of the scabbard has the name and time and place of the person who was rewarded by the head of state!
This is a real heirloom, and it will be a hot commodity in auction houses hundreds of years later!
But today, Ye Qiu didn't care about the preciousness of this souvenir. The 1870 Tang Dao in his hand was a murder weapon!
The 110-centimeter-long Tang Dao became a bolt of lightning in his hand. The beautiful cloud patterns on the hundred-forged steel were like mountains. The blood spilled on it was not stained at all, forming drops of blood!
With a shake of his hand, the blood droplets instantly burst out and dispersed into thousands of drops, and then stabbed into the enemy's throat again!
While killing this top sniper, he kept saying, "You are all fucking Han, aren't you? You are Han, aren't you? Why are you messing around with dog Tatars!"
"It's a disgrace to our ancestors! It's a disgrace to our ancestors... You are all kind-hearted farmers in Gyeonggi Province. Why are you helping the tiger today!"
"Bah...I spurn you and your ancestors! Even your ancestors can't stand up in the Yama Palace!"
"The Han people will not kill the Han people...but those who retreat will not be killed...go back!"
Pang Chaoyun on the other side ignored the injury on his buttocks and started killing with two engineer shovels. When he heard that Ye Qiu, a clever guy, was actually engaging in psychological warfare, he was naturally not far behind!
"The head of state is the reincarnation of Prime Minister Zhuge! He is here to save us Han people...Have you learned all your loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in vain since you were young?"
"The Han people will not kill the Han people... We should not be a stepping stone for others! If we retreat, we will not kill the Han people..."
After a while, the battlefield was full of shouts of "Don't kill the Han people...if you retreat, don't kill them!"
This sound shook the entire battlefield, and all the Manchus were dumbfounded. It was obviously a battle to chase down the **** in the middle of the night, but why did it change the tone as soon as they shouted?
These soldiers from the Xishan Battalion actually started to dodge all of a sudden. They didn't even dare to look at these special forces!
Xishan Camp has set rules since its establishment. Ordinary soldiers must use good farmers. Because they are honest and obey orders and have strong resistance to oppression, only then can we train the most disciplined musketeers!
The remaining Eight Banners disciples or the disciples from the car and boat shop are all scoundrels. These people even make a living in the army!
But Yi Xin didn't expect that these 'excellent soldiers' who could endure no matter how hard or tiring they were on the training ground and who didn't resist even when they were beaten or scolded were a little unable to command at this moment!
Their eyes are shrinking, their steps are shrinking, and even their piercing hands are shrinking!
It was obviously a counter-charge by a group of tired and half-dead soldiers, but it felt like facing thousands of fresh troops!
Xie Duowan became anxious now, "No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Charge forward..."
The saber in his hand was waving and threatening, and he even used the back of the saber to hack at the soldiers, but he still couldn't stop them from retreating!
In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned over the command knife with hatred in his heart, and slashed a soldier's back with the blade, causing a three-inch long wound.
"Ah!" The soldier screamed and turned around in disbelief to see that the foreign instructor who was so familiar to him on weekdays actually stabbed him in the back!
"You... what do you think I'm doing? I dare not move forward without mercy! I will kill you without mercy..."
The soldiers of Xishan Camp were dumbfounded. They never thought that their backs could not be protected. On the battlefield, their backs were always pointed at their own people, but today their own people raised their butcher's knives!
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The foreign devils are stabbing us in the back! They are stabbing us in the back!"
"Drag him down! You must give us an explanation!"
The camp was in chaos now. Some of the soldiers in hand bandaged their backs, while other soldiers rushed up to grab Xie Dowan's arms and legs and pulled them off the horse!
"Didn't you say that military law is like a mountain? Why would you hurt someone without a trial?"
"We didn't turn our backs on the enemy and escape, I retreated under pressure... We were preparing for the next charge!"
"Why do you hurt someone? Hit him!"
A simple farmer can't explain anything. Anyway, it's wrong for you to hurt someone's back, and you don't understand!
In this chaos, the soldiers in front no longer dared to charge and kill, and the pressure on Ye Qiu and the others was suddenly relieved!
"Retreat...don't fight anymore..." One hundred special forces dragged the injured brother back into the warehouse with a clatter. The door closed with a bang and was blocked with stones.
Ye Qiu leaned on the wall and gasped for breath, "What a fluke! It's really a fluke... We can't rush any more, brothers are exhausted!"
"If you ask me... let's just listen to the advice of the head of state!"
Everyone who said a word was silent. This was the scene they least wanted to see!
Xiao Letian once said that every special soldier is a treasure and should not be used for shopping unless absolutely necessary! There are indeed situations on the battlefield where one has to fight to the death without retreating, but that situation must be a decision made by the commander after weighing the weapons!
When the commander feels that there is no other choice, he can give the order for the entire army to die together, and only then can the flag of residual blood be raised!
More often than not, Xiao Letian allowed the soldiers to retreat... and even allowed them to surrender when the situation was critical!
Every special soldier is a supreme treasure and cannot be sacrificed meaninglessly. It is okay to surrender when necessary and leave the matter to the diplomats!
The strong diplomatic pressure from the Chinese can naturally rescue them!
Ye Qiu's suggestion silenced everyone. They knew that as long as they surrendered at this moment, they would not dare to kill the prisoners because of the Manchu Qing's fear of the Chinese!
The head of state will definitely send someone to negotiate later and pick up these brothers at any cost!
But why can we really do this?
Suzuki Tai was the first to jump up, "Fight to the death! There are no soldiers from the Chinese who surrender!"
"You Ye Qiu don't dare to fight, I dare to continue! The head of state gave me land and citizenship. I am no longer the untouchable I used to be!"
"My family is honored because of me! I will not bring shame to my family! My descendants will not be allowed to have an ancestor who has surrendered!"
Pang Chaoyun was also angry, "Ye Qiu, are you crazy? Do you hope that the history of the first surrender of Chinese special forces will be born in us?"
"You are shameless, we still want it!"
Ye Qiu's face turned red. "Why are you scolding me? I just mentioned what the head of state once said... Let everyone vote! I don't want you to vote against it!"
"Scolding me? You have surrendered, and there is no way I will surrender!"
"Okay! Let's vote by a show of hands and see who will surrender!" Pang Chaoyun and Suzuki looked at the brothers beside them fiercely!
No one paid any attention to them, all of them had extremely firm expressions, and their aura of disregard for death never weakened even a little bit!
Doctor Huang was pulling down the bulletproof vest of a wounded soldier at the moment. It took him a long time to take it off. Only then did he say, "I agree to surrender! I will be the first to surrender!"
The tearful Doctor Huang said loudly, "It's not worth sacrificing for me alone! You have to sacrifice for the great cause of the head of state! Don't sacrifice for me!"
"I bandaged up these injured brothers, and I was the first to go out and surrender... This thing started because of me, and it will end because of me!"
