Chapter 39: Breaking Out of the Encirclement!

  "Brothers, the little devils' suicide squad is coming! These devils are actually the easiest to deal with. When they get close, greet them with a handgun!" Zhang Mingyu shouted loudly as he pulled the bolt of his rifle.

  The devils below began to disperse and attack the mountain, some devils firing guns while shouting and calling out to each other as they attacked upwards. After entering a distance of 400 meters, the snipers started their thrilling hunt again, one by one, the ugly heads disappearing from the scope.

  Gunfire accompanied by the screams of the devils, intertwined into a strange sound on the battlefield. Just as Jingjiu Yilang led the dare-to-die squad to charge forward, Akiyama's two infantry battalions launched a general offensive under his order. With Jingjiu Yilang's dare-to-die squad blocking bullets in front, the Japanese troops behind were basically unscathed.

  Although the terrain restrictions, the Japanese army of more than 2,000 people cannot be fully deployed, but this time Akio ōyama was determined to take down the mountain head, and the soldiers would one by one shoot the devils who ran in front, and the devils behind would rush up again.

  The snipers' bullets were soon used up, and the devils at the foot of the mountain realized that the deadly rifle bullets were gone, leaving only two Japanese machine guns still roaring. They shouted loudly in their bird language: "The Chinese have no more bullets, charge! Kill all the Chinese!"

  The Japanese soldiers were greatly encouraged, as if the Chinese on the mountain were just unarmed and helpless flower girls waiting to be ravaged. The devils rushed forward in a frenzy, the snipers jumped out of their shelters, pulled out their twenty rounds, took aim at the rushing devils and fired "crack crack" continuously. Zhang Mingyu and Tieniu picked up their machine guns and also swept the devils with intense fire, the machine gun bullets like tongues of flame blowing away the devils in the front lines in large numbers.

  The machine gun bullets were soon used up, Zhang Mingyu threw away the machine gun and pulled out two bayonets from his waist. Tiedong also threw away the crooked gun and took out a Thompson submachine gun that he had been carrying on his back. The brothers shouted "Kill!" as they charged forward. The Japanese saw that all the Chinese were rushing out, so they hastily ejected their bullets and prepared to engage in close combat with bayonets.

  When they charged with bayonets on their rifles, the "despicable" Chinese responded with fierce gunfire from their handguns, and many devils fell to the ground, with many of them thinking before they died: "The Chinese are so cunning!"

  The devils who were hit by the fierce hail of bullets retreated temporarily, because the dare-to-die corps members who charged in the front had all been shot dead by the soldiers.

  Jingjiu Yilang was shot by Zhang Mingyu more than a dozen times before reluctantly falling down. The devils temporarily retreated, preparing to reorganize the dare-to-die corps for another charge.

  Zhang Mingyu looked at the more than 20 soldiers behind him, as if he wanted to engrave their faces in his heart. This time, he felt the shadow of death approaching him and the soldiers.

  Zhang Haisheng, who never swore, rarely cursed and said: "Damn it, if there were enough bullets, I could have killed more than a hundred devils."

  After fighting for an entire afternoon, Zhang Mingyu led the snipers to kill over 300 Japanese soldiers at the cost of less than five casualties. If they had enough bullets and no artillery support from the enemy, it wouldn't be impossible to kill another 300. However, at this point, the soldiers were out of ammo and food, and once their bullets ran out, it would be time for them to sacrifice themselves.

  "Brothers, don't forget to leave a bullet for yourselves. We Chinese soldiers would rather die than surrender!"

  "Don't worry, Master! Not a single one of our brothers will surrender!" Iron Bull shouted loudly.

  The warriors shouted in unison: "Don't worry, Master! We'd rather die than surrender!"

  The devils at the foot of the mountain began their attack again, with the devils' light and heavy machine guns firing in unison. A large group of devils surged forward like a tidal wave! This time, the devils were truly mobilized en masse, with nearly three thousand devils swarming up the mountain like a swarm of bees, shouting slogans such as "Kill all Chinese people, Long live the Emperor!"

  Zhang Mingyu led the soldiers to fire deadly bullets at the devils, and the devils also started firing back. Soon, three soldiers were shot down. Tie Niu threw two hand grenades into the crowd of devils who were rushing up, and with a loud explosion, the place that was just filled with devils was now littered with their corpses and severed limbs.

  Soon, Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers' bullets were all gone, and as they watched the devils getting closer and closer, Zhang Mingyu pointed his last bullet at his own head. Tie Niu and the soldiers also followed suit, pointing their guns at their own heads.

  At this time, a large amount of cavalry rushed over from the distant mountain, and the rifles and machine guns in their hands fiercely fired at the devils. The first to bear the brunt was the command post of Lieutenant Colonel Akio Akiyoshi, who had less than a small team of soldiers left by his side, and was instantly overwhelmed by the rapidly approaching cavalry.

  Akio ōyama's head was cut off by a soldier with a saber, and polluted blood spurted out of his headless body! Zhang Mingyu heard the "Dong Dong" sound of the Czech-style pistol and opened his eyes to see Zhang Biao! Wang Tien-han and Lai San each held a Czech-style machine gun and led a large cavalry charge against the enemy's rear army. The devils were attacked from behind and retreated, but they were met with the gleaming sabers charging towards them, and the soldiers' swords rose and fell, sending a large group of devils' heads flying into the air, their corpses trampled into pulp by the galloping horses.

  Zhang Mingyu fired the bullets in his pistol at the retreating devils, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers! The reinforcements have arrived! Charge!"

  The warriors inserted their pistols into their waists, picked up the Type 38 rifle next to the devils' corpses, and chased after the devils at the foot of the mountain. At this time, on the other side, Li Gang led about twenty special soldiers riding over in a charge. The submachine guns in the warriors' hands exerted great power, quickly sweeping away a large area of dense devil crowds. The devils were beaten until they were dizzy and retreated in all directions. Some devils had just knocked a cavalryman off his horse, but soon he was beheaded by the warriors who charged over from behind with their sabers.

  Soon Zhang Mingyu brought together the remaining dozen or so warriors and Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao said, "Master, hurry up and mount your horse, let's fight our way out!"

  Zhang Mingyu also got on his horse without hesitation, and more than a dozen soldiers also jumped onto their warhorses. Zhang Mingyu took the Czech-style rifle from Zhang Biao's hand and fired fiercely at the devils behind him. The bullet marks like tongues of fire knocked down the devils in batches, and soon the devils reacted and began to pursue the retreating Chinese under the command of a lieutenant colonel.

  Li Gang led the special soldiers to cut off, more than 20 submachine guns roared at the same time, and more than 20 tongues of fire formed a crossfire network. The devils who were chasing forward fell to the ground one after another, and the special soldiers retreated while fighting. Finally, the warriors jumped onto their war horses and galloped away.
