Chapter 64: Knew He Would Run

  Zhang Mingyu said with a straight face: "I am Zhang Mingyu, is there still a need to impersonate?"

  Andy Lau stopped laughing and said: "If you say you are a national army officer, I still believe it. If you are General Zhang Mingyu, then I am Chairman Chiang!"

  Zhang Mingyu wanted to explain something, but the captain shouted: "Zhao Squad Leader, these three people are suspicious, let's lock them up first."

  "Yes!" Zhao Erhu stood up straight and said.

  Several Eighth Route Army soldiers took Zhang Mingyu and others to a farmhouse and assigned two soldiers to stand guard at the door.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In these three days, Zhang Mingyu and Tie Niu, Li Gang could only eat two meals a day, which were even harder to swallow than the usual hardtack. At noon, an Eighth Route Army soldier brought lunch again - three hardtacks and three bowls of thin porridge that was too thin to be called porridge.

  Iron Bull couldn't help but ask, "I'm asking this Eighth Route brother, can we have some meat to eat? Every day eating these things, our bellies are completely dry!" The Eighth Route soldier disdainfully said, "You bunch of traitors, you're lucky to have something to eat. You want to eat meat? We ourselves don't even have enough to eat. Go dream about eating meat!"

  "Hey, you damn well say who's a traitor, say it again!" Tie Niu cursed loudly after hearing that.

  "You're so energetic, you must not be hungry either, keep scolding!" After finishing speaking, the Eighth Route Army soldier held his lunch and was about to walk out.

  "Damn it, these despicable Red Bandits, they don't even give us food to eat, and yet they claim to treat their prisoners of war well."

  Zhang Mingyu persuaded him to say: "Don't talk nonsense, we are now friendly troops and brothers. The reason they treat us like this is because in their eyes, we are not prisoners of war, but some traitors who sell out our country for personal gain!"

  "Let his mother's fart! We were in Nanjing, fighting a bloody battle with the little devils of Japan in Tong County, where were they? We would be traitors to the Han! What a ridiculous joke." Tie Niu said angrily.

  Li Gang also said with a heavy face: "Master, you say they want to lock us up until when?" Tie Niu: "Are you afraid?"

  "I'm not afraid, I'm worried that we've been away from the unit for so long, and the superiors might find out that you left the unit." Li Gang said calmly.

  "For now, let's not worry about that. The most important thing is to find a way to leave this place first. As for the troops and those guys, they won't be able to stir up any trouble." Zhang Mingyu said thoughtfully to the two of them.

  At this time, the gunfire outside was loud and clear. It turned out that a small team of devils and a regiment of puppet troops had come to sweep the area. Since Liu Dehua, the battalion commander, led the Eighth Route Army soldiers to hold their ground on the mountain slope, the devils were unable to charge up for the time being.

  The two mortars of the devils are firing at the Eighth Route Army on the hillside, and from time to time, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are blown to the ground. The poorly equipped soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are fighting back with their simple weapons, but those who are rushing in front of them are all puppet troops. The marksmanship of these puppet troops is really not commendable, and most of the casualties suffered by the Eighth Route Army are actually caused by the devils' mortars and grenade throwers.

  Liu Dehua shouted loudly: "Zhao Erhu! Have all the relatives been transferred?"

  "The battalion commander has been transferred. But what about the three people who were caught two days ago and are still being held in a civilian house? What should we do?" Zhao Erhuo replied, panting heavily.

  "Take them with you and retreat! First company, cover us, second company, third company, follow me!" Liu Dehua shouted loudly as he knocked down a fake soldier with his pistol.

  Zhao Erhu led two soldiers to quickly open the door and shouted at Zhang Mingyu and others inside: "You guys come out quickly, the devils are here. Hurry up and retreat with us!"

  Zhang Mingyu and the others walked out of the house, at this time Liu Dehua also led people to retreat over, saw Zhang Mingyu and the others had not left yet. Loudly said: "Don't you hurry up and leave, waiting for death here!"

  "How many men in your battalion, Commander Liu?" Zhang Mingyu asked.

  "My camp has more than 300 people, when are you going to stop your nonsense and retreat quickly!" Liu Camp Commander said anxiously.

  "How many devils are there this time?" Zhang Mingyu asked again.

  "Damn it! The devils have a platoon of about sixty or more men, and over a hundred puppet troops, but we've already killed at least twenty of them." Liu Dehua cursed again but still answered Zhang Mingyu's question.

  "A camp of over 300 people, yet you were scared away by just 50 or 60 devils and over a hundred secondary devils. You're supposed to be the regular army of China's 18th Group Army! With your retreat, the villagers' winter food supplies will all be looted, their livestock will all be taken, and their homes will all be burned down by the devils. Without food or shelter, how are the villagers supposed to get through the winter? How are they supposed to live? Aren't you ashamed?"

  Looking at the increasingly tough eyes of these Eighth Route Army soldiers, Zhang Mingyu continued to say: "You claim to be the sons and daughters of the people, but when the devils come, you retreat. What's the point of defending your fellow villagers? You can transfer and retreat, but what about your fellow villagers? After you leave, they will be killed by the devils for harboring you, all the women will be raped, and all the men will be killed. Their deaths are all because of your incompetence and cowardice!"

  "Relatives have already moved to the back mountain, there's no danger!"

  "Nonsense, all nonsense! After you retreat, the devils won't search the mountains! Stop deceiving yourselves. If you're real men, pick up your weapons and fight back, drive out those Eastern bandits! A true soldier doesn't win battles by running away, even if it means dying, die like a man! You must live up to the uniforms on your backs and the folks who care for you back home." Zhang Mingyu scolded harshly.

  Zhao Erhu wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth and could only lower his head. At this time, the soldiers of the independent regiment were all furious, and a soldier from Northeast China said: "I won't run away, I'll fight with those little devils."

  One.

  Two.

  The last remaining warriors all shouted in unison: "Right, we won't retreat, let's fight the little devils to the death."

  Andy Lau looked at Zhang Mingyu and asked: "What kind of person are you?"

  "I've told you before, I am Zhang Mingyu! Give each of us a big knife and let's go kill the devils together." Zhang Mingyu said.

  "Hu Zi, give them a few big knives!" Liu Dehua said loudly. Although he didn't know if the person in front of him was Zhang Mingyu or not, Liu Dehua knew that this person would absolutely not be a traitor.

  Several armed soldiers took down the large knives from their backs and handed them over to Zhang Mingyu and his men.

  "Brothers, charge back! Kill!"

  "Kill!" The warriors shouted in unison and turned their heads towards the devils to kill them.

  Zhang Mingyu and two others also took big knives and rushed over together.

  At this time, the company responsible for covering was retreating while fighting, preparing to withdraw. The devils had already launched an attack on the slope under the cover of two machine guns. The devil's squad leader, Kazuki Tsuruta, said to the puppet army regimental commander beside him: "Wu Sang, very good! Our brave warriors have won, and the Chinese are starting to flee! Haha!"

  The fake military camp commander nodded and bowed hastily: "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is brave and good at fighting, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be an opponent."

  Just as the two were talking, the devils and puppet troops who had just rushed up the hill suddenly retreated in a swarm. Seeing his brave warriors retreating, Kameyama squad leader exclaimed: "Baga Yaku, the bandits have counterattacked again?" After finishing speaking, he grabbed one of the fastest-retreating puppet troops and asked: "Baga, what's going on?"

  That fake soldier stammered: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is too powerful! As soon as our brothers charged up, they launched a counterattack and our brothers couldn't hold on!"

  Gu Ding's squad leader was furious and drew his command knife, cutting that fake soldier in half.

  To the pseudo-military camp commander beside him: "Wu Sang, your subordinates are all more stupid than pigs, waste!" The pseudo-military camp commander was frightened and hastily nodded and bowed his head, saying: "Your Excellency, please calm down, I will immediately organize people to attack the Eighth Route Army and take down the mountain!"

  On the mountain top.

  Zhang Mingyu looked at Liu Dehua beside him and said, "How about it, Commander Liu? The devils are not invincible either. If you stab them with a bayonet, they will also be pierced through and bleed, and they will feel pain too!"

  That last battle was really fucking awesome, they killed at least thirty or more fake soldiers and ten or more devils, directly driving them down the mountain slope.

  Andy Lau couldn't help but admire the person in front of him. If it weren't for this tirade, they should be running away from the devils right now. Just a moment ago, when he and his two subordinates were fighting the devils with bayonets, they were incredibly brave, killing no less than fifty devils and puppet soldiers. The three of them had killed over ten each.
