Chapter 38
The sky gradually darkened, the sentry outside the door had changed several people, but Li Tie ordered not to relax for a moment. All the sentries were one bright and one dark, even one bright and two dark, with two light machine guns on the roof at all times to maintain firepower suppression standards. Others were required to be armed and not take off their clothes at night, while non-combat personnel were also required not to go out alone and were fully equipped with weapons and equipment, as required of combat personnel.
On the table was a dim yellow oil lamp, and the faint light illuminated a captive's face.
It was afternoon, and this devil hadn't said a word, while another captive didn't know anything, only knowing that he was under the leadership of this devil, who gave him instructions, and he had no right to act on his own.
"I know you're going to take action tonight, and the main target is our headquarters, so I've evacuated all personnel from the HQ, leaving only some combatants behind. There are also two light machine guns ready for you on the rooftop, with firepower points set up everywhere, welcoming your arrival at any time."
Li Tie smiled and said to the ghost, while carefully observing the ghost's face. As expected, the ghost's face changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. Li Tie knew he had been fooled again.
"I don't know how to contact you, but I know that most of your personnel are already in position, and a small part has not arrived yet. You're afraid of being discovered, so you want to act quickly and make the main force disappear, right?" Of course, Li Tie had already captured a devil, so it was impossible for everyone to be in position.
The little devil's face turned pale.
"There are 42 of you in total, some are responsible for gathering intelligence, some are responsible for assassination and sabotage, and others are responsible for other connections. So the number of people who came to attack this time will not exceed 20, right?" Li Tie continued to bluff the little devils.
The little devil's face turned even whiter, and sweat had already begun to appear on his forehead.
"I know you little devils have a lot of ninjas who can burrow underground, but all my sentries are accompanied by dogs. Can your ninjas beat them?"
This is not deceiving little devils, it's true that each sentry post has a dog with them. Although they are just rural dogs, they will still bite when they see strangers.
"Actually, your ninjas are even worse than beasts."
"Bah! We, the Great Japanese Empire, are noble. We are stronger than beasts." The little devil finally spoke up, his face which had turned white earlier now puffed up bright red.
"It won't be much stronger, you see, pigs can be killed and eaten, can your little devils be killed and eaten?"
"No." The little devil shook his head.
"Dogs can be doorkeepers. Usually, a small rope is tied around their neck and then tied to the door, so we can go out with peace of mind. Can we tie a rope around your neck and tie you to the door, can you keep watch?"
"No." The little devil shook his head again.
"So you're saying you're worse than pigs and dogs. Moreover, donkeys can pull carts and mills when they're alive, and their meat can be eaten when they die. What can you little devils do?"
"No." The little devil quickly rolled his eyes.
"Chickens and ducks can lay eggs, they can be stir-fried and eaten, and exchanged for silver coins. Can you little devils lay eggs?"
"I can pull out a turd egg." The little devil was starting to lose his mind a bit.
"Cows can pull plows to cultivate the land, their meat can be eaten, and cowhide can be made into shoes. Can you little devils strip off your skin to make leather shoes? Sheepskin can be made into coats, how about your skin?"
No!
"Are you stronger than beasts?"
No!
"See, you yourself have admitted that you are no better than a beast."
"I..."
The little devil rolled his eyes and finally passed out.
"I say you guys are no better than beasts, but you still don't admit it. If I don't use facts to reason with you, you won't understand. Look, once you realize the truth, you'll feel like your life is meaningless and just want to fall asleep."
Poor little devil, was knocked out by Li Tieqiao for nothing.
That's enough teasing little devil, Li Tie has gone out to check the post.
Just as I was about to go out, I heard someone shouting: "Halt, password."
"Return the command, cucumber." The other party replied.
Password is correct.
The sentry let out a sigh of relief. However, when the newcomer arrived in front of him, he suddenly came with an elbow strike, and the sentry fainted at that moment.
The newcomer gently supported the sentry, putting him on the ground in a dark place. Then he stood in the original position of the sentry. He beckoned to the back with his hand, and a team of black shadows approached from behind.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, and a black figure groaned and fell to the ground.
The dark whistle of gunfire awakened the silent battalion.
Two flares shot up into the sky. This was some foreign stuff that Li Tie had brought back last time. In an instant, more than a dozen dark shadows were illuminated, with nowhere to hide.
"Eight trigrams, kill with one strike!"
The first guy subconsciously let out a loud roar and directed his men to charge towards the enemy position.
The guy who was in charge had his head blown off and fell to the ground with a "thud" like a broken sack of rice.
And the other attackers seemed not to have seen it and continued to charge forward.
The two machine guns on the roof of the big team's room fired fiercely.
"Caw caw caw......"
Like a couple of fiery whips, the sweepers attacked the attackers, who fell to the ground one after another. Finally, someone threw a hand grenade at the battalion headquarters, which was already very close. The grenade exploded just a few meters away from the battalion headquarters office.
The blast blew down all the windows of the office and overturned half of the thatched roof.
It seems that the little devil has spent a lot of money on this operation. The power of these explosives is not to be underestimated.
The machine gun on the roof stopped for a moment, then started again. Some Eighth Route Army soldiers also surrounded and finally shot this kid into a hornet's nest.
Just when everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Another loud explosion rang out.
The headquarters office of the big team "boomed" and collapsed!
Everyone was stunned!
The office of the battalion headquarters is like the Great Wall in everyone's heart, it should stand upright and never fall!
Just as everyone was stunned, a black figure stood up from the side, raised the pistol in his hand and aimed at the still stunned Eighth Route Army soldier, ready to fire.
But not everyone was stunned, Li Tie was an exception, it seemed that the collapse of the entire squad was a very normal thing, and it didn't attract his special attention at all.
While others were still looking at the attacker, Li Tie had already pulled the submachine gun behind his back to his chest, with the muzzle facing any possible enemy. The little devils are a group of desperate people who will not give up if they do not achieve their goal.
As expected, a ghost from an unnoticeable place behind the office came up. He not only successfully detonated the explosive package and blew up the office, but also wanted to ambush the Eighth Route Army, but he met Li Tie.
Before he could fire a shot, Li Tie had already fired at him, and a burst of bullets directly turned him into a beehive.
Li Tie's gunshot woke everyone up, and they quickly took cover.
But apart from this attacker, no one else was found, and the battlefield was quiet without a single movement.
Just as everyone was wondering, another gunshot rang out, in the direction of the sanitation team. Judging from the sound, it should be the gunfire of the Eighth Route Army's sentry, possibly discovering an enemy.
Because Li Tie estimated that the enemy might attack the headquarters and medical teams, he assigned all the Fox Team members to these units, secretly helping out. On average, each unit had at least two or three people hiding in the dark with submachine guns, like a sentry within a sentry.
The fox team members have not yet made a move, and it's estimated there won't be any problems.
Just as Li Tie was secretly congratulating himself, a crisp sound of submachine guns came from the direction of the health team.
Li Tie immediately ordered everyone to rescue the wounded and led two members of the Fox Team to rush towards the medical team's base.
From the company headquarters to the sanitation team was only three or four hundred meters away, and everyone arrived quickly.
Because Li Tie had communicated with Er Gou in advance, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation, if any unit was attacked, without Er Gou's personal command, they were not allowed to provide mutual assistance, and even more so could not leave their own garrison. Considering that the battalion headquarters might be the enemy's number one target for attack, Er Gou withdrew all personnel and documents, leaving only a desk in the battalion headquarters office with an oil lamp lit on it, and nothing else, not even a single stool.
As the Fox Team's base is not here, the mobile force was taken over by the Fox Team. The Fox Team is a fire brigade, going wherever it is needed.
Outside the courtyard of the health team, several black shadows occasionally fired a few shots towards the inside, but the two submachine guns at the corner of the courtyard wall firmly suppressed them, not allowing them to rush up, let alone throw things in. Even if they were dozens of meters away, throwing would be futile.
It seems that there is only two submachine guns' firepower left, and the health squad's sentry has either been sacrificed or wounded and lost combat effectiveness.
Li Tie waved his hand, and two fox team members raised their submachine guns at the black shadow and fired a burst of shots.
Several black shadows stopped moving immediately. The remaining few black shadows were stunned for a moment, and several more were eliminated, leaving only one who still wanted to resist to the end. Unfortunately, Li Tie had already rushed forward, directly kicking him with a forceful kick that was full of momentum. According to physics, this was equivalent to transferring Li Tie's kinetic energy directly to the little devil. The little devil was instantly kicked to the ground, and his handgun was thrown who-knows-where.
Two warriors came up and bound him, dragging him towards the courtyard of the health team.
Seeing these people swaggering towards the health team, the fox in the dark alley had no choice but to speak up and ask:
"Halt, password."
"Return order, onion." Due to the no-support command issued by Er Gou's team leader, each unit had different passwords. All passwords were provided by Li Tie to each unit.
Taking this captive into the sanitation team, it was found that the previous sanitation team's sentry had sacrificed himself. When he asked the enemy for a password, he exposed his position and was directly hit in the left chest by the enemy, sacrificing himself at his post.
