"Ghosts on the Battlefield", "Cold Face Killer", "White Death"... These words are used to describe a special kind of warrior: sniper! However, these words are not too much to describe an ordinary soldier during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, who single-handedly killed more than 500 Japanese devils. His composure and loyalty are enough to flow for hundreds of lifetimes, and he is Cao Xi.
Cao Xi, whose place of origin is unknown, was a superior soldier of the Second Division of the Fifty-second Army of the Fifteenth Army. He was later known as the Chinese god of war, the soldier leader, and the bravest anti-Japanese soldier. It happened on September 22, 1939, south of the New Wall River and west of New Wall Town. On the night of the 21st, Cao Xi connected 12 grenades together and placed them on the embankment on the south bank of the Xinqiang River, and then, pulling out the lead and placing them next to him, he sat on the embankment and stood guard against the river. On the night of the 21st, Cao Xi pre-bundled 12 grenades into a bundle, hid on the embankment on the south bank of the New Wall, tied the long lead to his body, and then sat quietly on the embankment and waited for the arrival of the devil.

The first batch of devils fell, and a little later, the second batch swarmed like locusts. Cao Xi's machine gun roared a total of 6 times, and the devils fell down 6 batches. The 7th group of devils did not dare to act rashly, and before going ashore, they first cast poisonous gas. Cao Xi covered his nose and mouth, looked around, the position was dead silent, and the machine gun platoon he belonged to, except for him and a sergeant Zhu Banchang, had all been killed. After a while, the poison gas dissipated, and twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers climbed toward the river embankment. Cao Xi clutched the lead of the grenade in his hand and jumped off the embankment with Zhu Banchang, lying down and hiding. It was too late, it was fast, the Japanese soldiers had just climbed the river embankment, Cao Xi pulled the lead, a loud noise, a ghost crying wolf howl, 12 grenades exploded at the same time, flying in the air with the blood and flesh of the devil. Except for two or three devils who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, the rest of the devils all returned to their hometown in Toyo. Cao Xi himself was buried in the overturned mud, but fortunately he was not injured, and he climbed out again. By this time, his grenade had run out. The machine gun was also stuck, the enemy was coming again, and he could not calmly disassemble the machine gun to see what was going on. Cao Xi was anxious for a while. In a hurry, he searched carefully next to him and found a heavy machine gun next to a corpse 200 meters away from him, waiting for him to get it. The owner of the sacrificial gun belonged to another Chinese warrior, a heavy machine gunner. Cao Xi gently climbed 200 meters, and tried to use the crane machine gun. At this time, more than 100 Japanese troops rushed in, thinking that the machine gunner was dead, but unexpectedly Cao Xi suddenly moved the trigger of the heavy machine gun, hitting more than 30 at once, and the remaining sixty people turned around and fled.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the battalion headquarters sent a messenger to tell Cao Xi that the Japanese brigade had crossed the Xinqiang River about 1,000 meters west of Wang's neighborhood, that is, behind his side. The battalion commander ordered him to "abandon his position" and return to the battalion headquarters to rest. Cao Xi liked this heavy machine gun and was reluctant to drop it, so he carried it and a few bags of bullets and followed the messengers towards the battalion headquarters. On the way, they encountered enemy soldiers, and Japanese guns and bullets came from all directions. Cao Xi's heavy machine gun came in handy again. The messengers were killed in the melee. Cao Xi's life was great, and he triumphantly arrived at the battalion headquarters. When he reached the battalion headquarters, he knew that he had killed more than 500 Japanese troops alone, and that Cao Xi's deeds had spread to Chongqing, and that Chiang Kai-shek had personally written a handwritten "National Hero" poster to praise him; when it was sent back to Japan, the Asahi Shimbun beat his chest and reported with the headline "The Shame of Empire."
Later, Cao Xi mysteriously disappeared, and the legends and legends about him have continued. Some people say that Cao Xi has died on the battlefield, and some people say that after the victory of the War of Resistance, Cao Xi did not want to fight a civil war, so he was disarmed and returned to the field and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Regardless of the legends, we are sure that the legendary hero Cao Xi is Chinese, the Chinese soldier who destroyed the most Japanese ghosts. In World War II, the Soviet heroine Lyudmila killed 309 German troops in a year, and compared to her, Cao Xi killed at least 500 Japanese troops in a single battle, creating a Chinese myth that made the Wokou shudder.
