Chapter 33: Sneak Attack

  Yuanyuan Yiyuan Xin saw what it was, originally a prison. The Japanese devils' prison, specifically for detaining Chinese people who resisted them. Yuanyi and Yuansin discussed and planned to attack the prison at night, releasing all the detained Chinese people.

  "Second Brother, didn't we agree with Eldest Brother to split up and break through the enemy's encirclement, then meet up at Bayin Town? If we go attack the enemy's prison, won't that delay our meeting time?" Yuanshen said, stroking the hilt of his sword.

  "Brother Wu, we've found this devil's lair, it's time to stir up some trouble. Besides, our group is breaking out separately, and who knows if the other two groups are still in the city or not? If we launch a surprise attack, we can draw the enemy's attention over here and alleviate the pressure on the other two breakout teams. And if we succeed, we might even rescue many Chinese people. You should know that everyone imprisoned here is an anti-Japanese activist - who knows, we might even find some Communists! The Communist Party is a true anti-Japanese organization, following them will be no mistake." Yuan Yi patted his waist, where he had hidden his short hammer, "Brother Wu, are you ready?"

  "Ready!"

  "Let's go!"

  The prison that Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were going to raid was located in the south of the city of Cangmen. When they arrived at the outer wall of the prison, they saw that the high wall was about 4 or 5 meters high, with four watchtowers built at each corner of the prison. The searchlights crossed over each other, forming a three-dimensional network of light. Each watchtower had two machine guns installed in its window, one pointing outside and one inside, ready to fire at any movement.

  Yuan Yi observed the prison walls, not only was the height astonishing, but also the iron wire mesh on top of the wall was terrifying. The iron wire mesh was electrified, and anyone who touched it would be electrocuted to death.

  "Oh, Fifth Brother, don't be in a hurry, let me think for a moment. The height of the wall plus the height of the barbed wire, our lightness skills can't overcome it. It seems that jumping over the wall into the prison is not very possible. However, those four corner towers are higher than the big wall by a large margin, but there is no barbed wire set up. It seems that we can only start from the corner tower." Yuan Yi said.

  "How are we going to get down? Our lightness skill can only span one-third of the height of the corner tower." Yuanshen said, looking up at the corner tower.

  "Look at this!" Yuan Yi pulled out a handful of iron nails from his pocket.

  "Isn't that your hidden weapon?" Yuan Xin stared at the iron nail in Yuan Yi's hand, wondering what he was going to use it for.

  "Yes, these iron nails will come in handy today. In a moment, I'll insert the iron nails into the wall and they'll become our springboard to jump up and help us successfully leap onto the enemy's artillery tower, kill the sentry, and control the machine gun. Then, we'll enter the prison from the stairs of the artillery tower, smash the gate, and rescue the anti-Japanese fighters being held inside." Yuan Yi said.

  "But neither of us knows how to use a gun, and even if we took the machine gun down, we wouldn't know how to use it?" Yuan Xin said.

  "Fifth younger brother, you're really pitifully stupid. When we were breaking through the encirclement, didn't you see how the devils used machine guns to riddle us with bullets? You just need to pick up a machine gun and pull the trigger." Yuan Yi lightly patted Yuan Xin's head.

  "Take cover!" The searchlight swept over Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin's heads, Yuan Yi hastily pressed down on Yuan Xin's head, crouching at the base of the wall.

  The searchlight swept over again, and Yuan Yi calculated that the time interval between the two sweeps of the searchlight was about four seconds. Yuan Yi thought, four seconds were enough.

  The searchlight swept over again, Yuan Yi jumped up from the wall root, made a beautiful turn and threw out three iron nails, three sparks, and three iron nails were firmly nailed to the outer wall of the corner tower.

  "Fifth younger brother, it's up to you now." Yuan Yi called out softly to Yuan Xin.

  Yuan Yi's words had barely fallen when Yuan Xin suddenly sprang up from the ground, performing a beautiful triple jump on the outer wall of the corner tower, accurately landing on the iron nails embedded in the wall. With one final leap, he jumped onto the cannon tower, and with a flash of cold light from his plum blossom sword, a sentry fell down from the top of the cannon tower. Before another sentry could understand what was happening, Yuan Xin made a swift turn, and his plum blossom sword pierced through the other's chest, sending him to join his companion in returning home to Dongying without exception.

  At the moment when Yuan Xin jumped onto the gun tower, Yuan Yi also came with a three-level jump and jumped onto the gun tower.

  Two machine gunners were sent to the Western Heaven by Yuan Xin, but the devil operating the searchlight discovered Yuan Xin. He shouted "wa wa wa" and shone the searchlight over, a strong beam of light shot out, illuminating Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin, exposing them under the intense light of the searchlight.

  The devils patrolling inside the wall immediately discovered Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin, raised their guns and shot at Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin. Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin hastily lowered their heads and used the parapet of the gun tower to cover their bodies. In the instant they crouched down, Yuan Yi threw out two iron nails, one pierced into the throat of a devil holding a searchlight, he let out a miserable cry, and fell onto the gun tower; the other nail went through the head of the searchlight, shattering it, and the searchlight was extinguished in an instant.

  The other three watchtowers' devils, completely knew what was going on. Six tongues of flame, simultaneously shot towards the watchtower where Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were located. The machine guns set up in the watchtower where Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were located were shattered by the densely fired bullets, and the roof tiles of the watchtower were also blown away by the bullets, and it was overturned in a short while. What's more, the devils inside the prison had already climbed up from the bottom along the stairs to attack the top of the watchtower, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.

  At this time, the firepower of the three artillery towers suddenly stopped. At the same time, the searchlights of the three artillery towers shone together on the artillery tower where Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were located. It turned out that after a dense shot, the devils thought that they should have already beaten the two people who sneaked into the prison into honeycomb coal, wanting to stop firepower and see the situation. And the devils attacking from downstairs were about to attack upstairs.

  The situation was extremely critical, and Yuan Yi made a bold decision: take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw quickly!

  Yuanyi shouted in Yuanshen's ear: "Younger brother, jump out of the wall!"

  Yuan Yi first jumped from the cannon tower over ten meters high to the outside of the big wall, and during the jump, Yuan Yi used the "Lotus Step" move in his light skill to cross the "Guard River" outside the prison and land on the slope outside the "Guard River".

  But Yuan Xin was not so lucky. When Yuan Yi jumped down, he had already been illuminated by the enemy's searchlight and could see Yuan Xin even more clearly. The devils found that the person who attacked the prison was still alive, so they concentrated their firepower on Yuan Xin, and Yuan Xin was locked in the artillery tower by the devil's firepower.

  Suddenly, Yuanshen felt the corpse of a devil lying on the gun tower. He picked up the devil's body and put it on his back, stood up from behind the cover with a "huh" sound, bullets hit the devil's body one after another. Yuanshen closed his eyes, jumped out of the wall with all his might, jumped off the gun tower, and when he fell, he didn't shake off the devil's corpse in time, his light skill couldn't be displayed, Yuanshen and the devil's corpse fell into the "Huguan River" together.
