Chapter Thirty: That Little Bastard

  Soon the warriors evacuated the townspeople out of the town, and originally the people of Caoji Town had left more than half when they knew that the devils were coming, and there were not many households left. Soon the people left Caoji Town with their families.

  While the warriors began to build fortifications in the town, hidden firepower points, some houses were directly transformed into individual fortification strongholds. The warriors ambushed on the city wall, and a large number of warriors were also hiding in the withered grass outside the city, everything was ready.

  At this time, the devils' large team led by Jingjiu Tarō was advancing towards Cao Jizhen, and Jingjiu Tarō's team had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles. At that time, there were only more than 600 people left in the whole team. Because of their "brave" performance in the previous period, the commander of the regiment allowed Jingjiu Tarō to take this "brave" imperial army out for a stroll. (The devils regarded going down to the countryside to sweep and plunder, rob and rape women as taking a holiday.)

  Traitorous translator Li Hong said to Jingjiu Tarō, "Your Excellency, this time Cao Zhenzhang must have prepared a beautiful flower girl for you!"

  Jingjiu Tarou heard that Hua Guniang's eyes, which were already narrow and misty, narrowed into a slit as she stared at Li Hong and said: "Li San! Your conscience is really good! And Cao San's conscience is also very good!"

  "Your Excellency, you're too kind! I'm forever loyal to the Great Imperial Japanese Army! Forever loyal to Your Excellency!" Li Hong flattered, patting his backside.

  Jingjiu Taro fantasized about the beautiful flower girl prepared for him by Cao Zhenzhang, and involuntarily whipped the war horse in his hand, causing it to sprint forward with its four hooves. The Japanese infantry behind hurriedly followed on foot.

  Jingjiu Taro rode his horse at the forefront, galloping wildly towards Cao Jizhen Town. He was fine on horseback, but the "brave" Imperial Army troops following behind him were crying, their two legs no match for the four legs of the horses, so they desperately chased after them from behind.

  At this time, Zhang Mingyu was sitting on the city wall, leaning against the wall and sat down, puffing on that Hademen cigarette without a filter, looking at the smoke ring coming out of his mouth. Tie Niu swallowed his saliva. Hearing Tie Niu's sound of swallowing saliva, Zhang Mingyu said to Tie Niu: "Do you want to smoke?"

  "Master, I'm not smoking, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat. Didn't you say that if I kill a devil, you'll give me a piece of beef? This time I killed 23 devils, so you should give me 23 pieces of beef."

  Zhang Mingyu was about to lose his temper, but then he thought for a moment and said: "Tie Niu, you want to eat beef? Wait until we've finished off these devils and I'll let you eat your fill."

  After hearing Zhang Mingyu's words, Tie Niu's eyes lit up and he asked: "Master, is what you said true?"

  "Ah! I mean what I say!"

  "Little devil, I'll get you! Your grandma is coming!" Tieniu fantasized about a big table of beef, with saliva dripping down.

  Four "pseudo-military" soldiers were walking back and forth at the city gate, everything seemed very calm, when suddenly from a distance came urgent footsteps, galloping war horses and unintelligible bird language, chaotic sounds.

  The four "pseudo-soldiers" guarding the gate exchanged glances, and one of them made a gesture towards the city wall. A Japanese military officer rode up to the gate on horseback, and the four pseudo-soldiers immediately saluted: "Taikun, you're here!" At this point, the traitorous translator ran over, bowing hastily to the mounted Kyojiro Taro: "Taikun, you came too quickly, I didn't even have time to catch up." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the four pseudo-soldiers and asked: "I haven't seen any of you before, who are you?"

  One of the soldiers said: "Officer, we are all new here, and we're on duty tonight, so you haven't seen us!"

  "Oh! Where is Mayor Cao?" the traitorous interpreter asked.

  "He's waiting for you at the town government office!" Another soldier replied. The traitor said to Jingjiu Tarō, "Town Head Cao is waiting for you at the town government office! Let's hurry in!"

  Jiǔ Tàiláng said: "To the west, we'll infiltrate the city and get to work!" After finishing speaking, he waved his big hand and rode his horse into the city. The large group of devils behind him followed closely, all pouring in together.

  After entering the city, Jingjiu Tarou rode his horse straight to the town government office. When he arrived at the gate of the town government office, he quickly got off his horse and ran quickly into the office.

  Just then, the enemy's follow-up troops had all entered the city. The originally quiet city wall suddenly protruded countless black gun muzzles. The rear covers of hand grenades were twisted open, and the drawbridge was suddenly retracted. The four puppet soldiers at the city gate closed the gate, and Zhang Mingyu spat out the cigarette in his mouth, pulled the bolt of the submachine gun in his hand, and fired a burst at the enemy entering the city.

  The gunfire was just in command, the light and heavy machine guns on the city wall simultaneously let out a roar, rifle bullets, hand grenades all smashed towards the devils, the devils walking behind were instantly shot dead and blown to pieces. The devils in front heard the gunfire, frantically shouted "Enemy attack!" and rushed into the civilian houses on both sides, attempting to use them as cover for shooting.

  The devils hadn't yet reached the civilian houses when two Czech-style and one Maxim machine gun, which had been lying in ambush inside, suddenly burst into a furious roar. Tongues of flame swept the devils away like withered grass. Just as they were about to charge forward, many smoke-spewing hand grenades were thrown out from the houses, exploding with a series of "booms", killing another group of devils.

  The devils' mortar and grenade launchers were about to fire into the civilian houses when they were picked off one by one by Zhang Haisheng and his snipers who had been lying in ambush, the devils were pinned down by dense gunfire from the city walls and the surrounding houses and were powerless to fight back, and were forced to retreat towards the town center.

  "Li Sang, where's the shooting coming from? Where did Hua Niang go?" The traitor translator didn't know what was going on and was at a loss for words. Just then, a Japanese soldier rushed in, looking flustered, and said to Jingjiu Tarō: "Commander, we've been ambushed by the Chinese regular army and have suffered heavy casualties!"

  "Bah! How can there be regular troops of the Chinese here?" Kyu Kuzo roared. At this time, more than 600 devils of the Kyu Kuzo Brigade had been killed by over 200, and the remaining over 400 devils had retreated to the town government, Kyu Kuzo shouted loudly: "Quickly send a telegram to the regimental commander, we have encountered an ambush by the Chinese, requesting support!"

  "Report to Lieutenant General, our communication soldiers have been killed by the Chinese and the radio has also been lost outside," said a lieutenant. "What? You've even lost the radio? You're dead! Now I order you to lead the first squad to retrieve the radio, quickly!" Kyokuto Taro roared.

  "Ha!" The squad leader stood up straight and led a group of devils back to the streets of the town, with Jingjiu Tarō providing cover fire from behind. The enemy's Type 92 and Type 99 heavy machine guns crazily suppressed the independent regiment soldiers who were pursuing them. Zhang Mingyu was on the city wall, smoking and loading bullets into his submachine gun magazine. Tiāo Níu said beside him, "Commander, a group of devils is charging towards us!"
