Section Thirteen

  According to the specific location of the base in the northern mountainous area of Mengxian Railway, the closest place to the railway is also more than 50 miles away. To the north, it is a boundless hilly area, which is commonly referred to as the mountainous area. The traffic here is inconvenient, the land is barren, and the people's living standards are low. Even the wealthy landlords are not many, and the few so-called rich households can only eat dumplings during the New Year, while most families basically live on coarse grains and vegetables for half a year. Therefore, the devils do not care much about this area, of course, if it were not for the bandits hiding here all the time, they would not be willing to come to this mountainous area to suffer.

  However, in Li Tie's view, this region is a utopia. After experiencing the Sudanese red eggs, melamine milk powder, and other food safety crises in that world, seeing the non-polluted, natural green foods here, although not many, are indeed safe foods. Although occasionally giving some extra snacks to the little devils, it doesn't affect his appetite.

  Li Tie led the fox team, traveling through this mountainous area every day. Normally, they would bring out a certain amount of food and bring back a certain amount, even bringing back some extra wild rabbits or pheasants for a bonus meal. The only thing they were short on was salt.

  They never used the rice and noodles in their own bags when they went out. They ate wherever they went, of course, without disturbing the locals, and quietly became familiar with this mountainous area, eating all the edible things.

  In Li Tie's view, this is not a patrol mission at all, but rather an outing for a picnic.

  At noon, Li Tie led the Fox Team to a mountain, where the stream was gurgling between the mountains, and the cicadas were chirping in the forest, presenting a peaceful scene.

  Li Tie decided to take a break here and arranged for sentries to be posted. Li Tie led everyone in preparing lunch.

  About ten people were divided into four teams. One team went to the riverbank to find something edible, one team went into the mountain forest, one team kept watch and one team prepared firewood.

  Less than an hour later, the team that went to the river came back. Everyone had a pile of spoils on their body: dozens of crabs, two carp, several dozen loaches, more than ten frogs, a snake, and many shepherd's purse.

  The small team that went to the mountain forest has also returned, bringing back many mushrooms, a dozen quails, three nests of bird eggs, one wild rabbit, one pheasant, and many wild vegetables.

  The team that prepared the firewood had dug a marching stove, boiled water, and was waiting for the pot. The team from the riverbank had cleaned up the things by the river, while the team that went to the mountain forest brought the things back to the riverbank to wash them clean and put them in the pot, adding salt and seasonings before starting to simmer. Before long, the enticing aroma spread throughout the entire hillside.

  A delicious and nutritious lunch came to an end. After cleaning up the scene and thoroughly extinguishing the fire source, Li Tie led the Fox Team to continue their patrol.

  Along the mountain path, we marched forward. Suddenly, a comrade ahead sent back a warning message: someone was blocking our way, and it seemed to be Japanese people.

  "Japanese? Go take a look." Li Tie led other team members, spreading out in a skirmish line and surrounding them.

  In the middle of the path ahead, a man in all black stood there. Li Tie took one look and knew he was clearly Japanese, especially with that tuft of hair on top of his head - unmistakably a Japanese ronin.

  "What's your job?" Li Tie asked in a tone that was reminiscent of the Japanese translator during the war.

  "Matsumoto Tarō, a samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, has heard that there is a group of warriors in this land who have defeated our country's Cherry Blossom King Special Forces, and has come today to ask for guidance."

  Oh, so you're here to avenge Sakura King.

  "Your equipment is all from the Sakura King's troops. Does that mean you're the one who defeated the Sakura King? Please enlighten me."

  Matsushita Tarō drew his katana and charged forward. In the blink of an eye, three team members were injured at his hands.

  "Not worth mentioning."

  Seeing three teammates fall down, Li Tie became anxious and raised his hand to throw a punch.

  Something strange happened, the ghost in front of me disappeared.

  Not good, Li Tie saw that the enemy was gone and immediately rolled on the ground eighteen times, a knife shadow flashed past his back.

  Li Tie stood up, threw away the empty submachine gun and picked up a wounded soldier's Type 38 Arisaka rifle.

  "Okay, I'll play with you."

  "I'll count to three, let's take action together, you understand."

  "Geez, I hope you won't let me down too much."

  Matsumoto Taro gripped his samurai sword tightly, waiting for Li Tie's starting signal.

  "One."

  Three

  After shouting this, Li Tie charged forward with his bayonet at the ready.

  "Haggar, your sloppiness is not a warrior's work."

  "I'm just counting like this, what's your problem?"

  Li Tie took the initiative, but what made him depressed was that his assassination technique was clear to himself. In the second company, there were only a few people who could assassinate him, and he had learned survival skills from the company commander for four years. However, in this devil's hands, he couldn't gain any advantage, as if this devil was very familiar with his moves.

  By accident, Li Tie's body was cut open by the samurai sword of the enemy in several places. But he himself didn't even touch the corner of Matsumoto Taro's clothes.

  Li Tiefu was furious. This little devil is so troublesome. No wonder three warriors were injured without even seeing each other's faces.

  Li Tie's anger flared up, and his moves became even more unscrupulous. Soon, several more wounds were added to his body.

  Li Tie stepped back one step, with a "click" sound, the bullet was loaded, but before he could fire, Song Xia was gone again.

  However, Matsushita did not see the cunning glint in Li Tie's eyes.

  Li Tie quickly drew out the revolver from his waist and, without looking, tucked it under his left armpit, firing a shot at what was behind him.

  Behind him, Song Xia was preparing to mock this country bumpkin, but unexpectedly, he dodged hastily, and in the chaos, a bullet still hit his right leg.

  "Despicable, shameless, ignoble, and vile, your sneak attack is not heroic at all! You're a dead man, you're finished!" Matsumoto flew into a rage, launching a torrent of abuse at Li Tieshan.

  "Haha, am I a hero or not? You can't decide that. Whether I live or die, you also can't decide." Li Tie was very disappointed, this barrage of gunfire had surprisingly not killed him, but only injured one leg.

  Li Tie's face sank, "Hmph, watch me use my Soul-destroying Gun."

  Li Tie held his gun and stabbed forward with a bayonet.

  Matsushita dodged past him, but his silhouette clearly slowed down.

  Watch me slay dragons and behead them.

  Look at me leaning against the sky

  At this time, Li Tie's self became a great hero under Jin Yong's pen.

  Look at my six pulse magic stick

  Watch me wield the Gu Long Jiu Jian (Nine Swords of Solitude).

  Look at my mighty King Kong's support

  Behold my Thousand Hands Guanyin Blade

  Behold me in meditation

  Behold my great merciful and compassionate knife

  Look at my Shaolin divine order

  Li Tie no longer cared what he was holding in his hand, nor did he care about any moves. The gun in his hand served as both a knife and a club, and occasionally even as a rifle. He fired a shot with the "eight hooks".

  This way, Matsushita Taro was forced to be busy and flustered, and with one leg injured and unable to exert force, his movements were restricted. In the blink of an eye, several wounds were added to his body.

  Seeing his opponent injured, Li Tieshen's confidence soared to an unprecedented height.

  Behold my Bodhi sword technique

  Behold my Broken Blade Technique!

  Behold my benevolent and compassionate swordsmanship

  Watch me ignite the wooden knife method

  Behold my Demon-Slaying Shovel Technique!

  Look at my broadsword technique

  Look at my little night lamp

  Look at my Shaolin Twin Chopsticks

  Watch me dragonfly water lightly lift and soar

  Behold my magnificent teleportation technique!

  Li Tie and Matsushita Taro clashed together, in the chaos of the battle, accidentally, the bayonet on Li Tie's rifle was cut off by Matsushita Taro, and his rifle became a mere club.

  It's just a fire spear, no bayonet, no time to load bullets, it's just an iron rod.

  Alright then, stick it is, watch me use my dog-beating stick technique.

  I poke, I pick, I hit, I sweep, I thrust, I look at my footwork, waiting for the opportunity, Li Tie kicks Matsushita Taro's groin.

  "Oh——"

  A wolf-like howl rose, and Matsudaira Tarō threw away his katana, covering his face with both hands as he started doing kangaroo hops on the spot, his face bright red, large drops of sweat flowing down from his head.

  "Ah!"

  Pounce!

  As if striking a drum, Li Tie's gun butt struck squarely on Matsushita Tarō's head, the gun butt shattered, and Matsushita Tarō's head also shattered.

  "What a beautiful cherry blossom! The cherry blossoms have bloomed again, and they are big and dense. Is this the legendary Cherry Blossom King?"

  Song Xia glared with unwilling eyes, fiercely staring at Li Tie, and finally fell down in defeat.

  Look at me again and I'll gobble you up.

  Li Tie threatened the corpse under his feet and sat down on the ground with a thud. I'm really tired.

  It seems that the stick method is still useful when dealing with Japanese devils after all.

  Li Tie and Matsushita finished their fight, the other team members had already bandaged the wounded. Seeing that the captain had taken care of the enemy, they quickly came over to help Li Tie bandage his wound.

  Matsumoto Taro was actually here to avenge a member of the Sakura King Special Forces. The member was his cousin, a sniper who had just arrived in China from home to carry out a special mission, but soon after receiving bad news - his entire special forces team went missing. Coincidentally, Matsumoto Taro had just completed his mission and returned to headquarters, as soon as he received this message, he volunteered to execute the task of finding the Sakura King Special Forces team.

  He has been wandering in this mountainous area for three days. In the past three days, he saw several small troops passing by here, and he wanted to capture one of them, but these troops were very vigilant, making it impossible for him to take action. Until today, he saw the Fox Team, mainly equipped with Japanese Type 100 submachine guns, which was a familiar weapon to him. There were no large-scale armed forces, even if they were equipped, only some special forces, and yet here suddenly appeared so many, that could only prove one thing - the Cherry Blossom King Team had been defeated, and it was estimated that this small team was inseparable from them.

  So he decided to take on these people and collect a dozen or so ordinary soldiers with his own hands, which was not a problem.

  However, he ran into Li Tie, this unconventional and unorthodox Eight Trigrams expert, or rather an upgraded version of the Eight Trigrams. And ultimately died under Li Tie's Dog Beating Stick Technique, what's most depressing is that before dying, he also received a kick that would make him infertile, who knows if in his next life, he'll directly become a eunuch.

  After this battle, the Fox Team suddenly lost its combat effectiveness and could only return to the base to arrange for the wounded before coming out again.

  The fox team members tied up four stretchers and carried three wounded men and the powerless captain back to their base.
