Near Taschichao We pursued a
Jap infantryman into Chinese house
where he rushed up a loose stair or
ladderway leading to a loft and began
to shoot. We had no ammunition, so
thought we would burn him out,
when down went one of our men
with a bullet through his back This
made us mad. and we rushed up the
stair. There was room only for one
at a time. and Misha Medvedtsefr
rushed first. The Jap waited till
Misha was on him, and then fired
right through his body. wounding the
ma behind. The rush from behind
drove Misha's dead body on top of
him, and the third man, taking ad-
vantage of this, hacked at the Jap.
cutting his cheek. Yellow face yelled
and fired again, killing our third man.
Now II was my time, and though I
knew l was done for, felt no fear,
but only thirst to cut down the Jap,
who laughed at every shot. However,
j wasn't going to give myself away,
so instead OF rushing on stuck my
lance. The Jap drove 1t down with
his rife muzzle. but It went through
hus knee. He yelled an dshot at me,
and tumbled down and remembered
no more. There were three blood
thirsty deamons behind. and Master
Jap wasn't safe yet. heard after
wards how he rushed at one man who
hesitated to go on. pulled him over
the bodies, an dstruck him with n
knife. The other two men were
knocked down by shots. When more
OF our men came up, they fired the
house, after pulling me and the other
wounded out. The Jap. seeing he was
done for. put his head through a WIN
dow and laughed. Then he jumped,
and was caught on lance"
