Chapter 56: Attacking the County Town

  "I'm going to hit the left front paw of that rabbit, and also hit the right eye of the rabbit in front." "You can just brag, running rabbit, in our troops, only those old soldiers can occasionally hit one."

  This is a team member and a soldier chatting, looking at the distance came two wild rabbits, this team member said casually, but this soldier did not believe it. "Bang bang", this team member raised his gun, aimed for a moment, and then fired, after one shot, he quickly reloaded, the second shot also rang out, only to see that the two wild rabbits in the distance were thrown out with their heads spinning.

  "Wow, really! One hit my right eye and the other broke my left front leg. How did you practice your marksmanship? Teach me!" The soldier looked at his comrade with great admiration.

  "Haha, this is great practice. As long as you fire dozens of shots a day, even if there's a rabbit that wants to eat the bullet that hits its left eye or a pheasant that gets hit in the right wing, you'll become proficient with your marksmanship."

  "Ah, dozens of bullets every day, how many days have you been shooting?"

  "What do you mean by several days? I've been shooting for several years. This gun has been replaced with over a dozen new ones. Once the barrel is worn out and the bullet deviates, our captain will replace it with a new one."

  "We can't compare with them. Even during battles, we only had five bullets at most. Let alone dozens of shots a day, even one shot per day was not guaranteed."

  The soldier said dejectedly.

  "Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo!" Suddenly, a hurried bird cry came from the village, "Not good, we have to gather, I won't tell you, take this rabbit back."

  "Ding ding ding ding." A whistle sounded, "We're gathering too. What's going on? We're actually gathering with you guys."

  "One two three four five... full house," "One two three four five... full house"…

  "Report to the captain, the main force is assembled. Report to the captain, the logistics team is assembled." Along with a series of reports, Liu He's guerrilla team was fully assembled, while at this time, Zhang's squad was still slowly gathering, not because they were slow, but because there were many new recruits among them, who naturally moved very slowly, and even these new recruits couldn't tell left from right.

  "Zhang Paichang, are you sure you want to come with us to attack the county town?" "Yes, I'm sure. Our new recruits also need to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield."

  "Alright, but Zhang, let me make one thing clear: when we attack the county town, you must follow my command. Otherwise, we will retreat from the attack." "Okay, we'll do everything according to your command."

  It turned out that after Liu He and the others rescued the villagers, they were kept in the village to stay overnight by the villagers. At the same time, the logistics team quickly went to pick up the supplies that had been thrown into the wild and brought back the few remaining team members. Liu He and the others stayed for two days. On this day, Liu He was talking to Zhang Paichang.

  "Captain, come here, I have something to report to you." Li Lu called out from outside to Liu He. "Go ahead, Captain Zhang is not an outsider." Of course, Liu He thought that Li Lu wouldn't have any secret matters to report, it should be about the devils' situation, and there's no harm in letting Captain Zhang hear it too.

  "Captain, the devils in the county town have almost been cleared out, now they only have less than two hundred people left. Shall we go and wipe them out too?" "What about the other devils?" "The other devils, nearly eight hundred of them were wiped out by us, and more than three hundred devils are in a place over fifty miles away from the county town. After we took down the county town, they didn't even have time to come and reinforce, and we can even ambush them."

  "Alright, let's get to it. Hurry up and arrange for someone to choose a good path of attack, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." Liu He excitedly gave orders to Li Lu.

  "Captain Liu, you guys dare to attack the county town?" "Yes, aren't there less than two hundred devils? We each only need to fire two shots." Liu He asked in surprise.

  "You guys are great." Zhang Paichang gave a thumbs up, and suddenly reacted that when Liu He and his team came to rescue the villagers, they also fought with fewer people, and none of them were injured. This naturally meant that they could attack the county town, so Zhang Paichang's mind turned around, and he strongly requested to follow Liu He and his team to attack the county town.

  "The target is thirty miles away from the county town." Liu He just stated the goal, and didn't even give any motivational speech. The team members naturally didn't have any opinions, turned their heads and followed Liu He to set off.

  He had originally wanted to make a speech, but when he saw Liu He and the others set off, he naturally didn't say anything because if they were late, they wouldn't even be able to get a sip of soup.

  "Big brother, is the county town dangerous?" "Not dangerous, aren't you carrying the enemy's machine gun? As long as this machine gun goes 'rat-a-tat', the devils will be finished."

  "You two, shut up! This is a military march, no talking. And you, hurry up... These new recruits are just that - new recruits. Not only do they walk slowly, but they're also laughing and chatting on the road. They don't look like they're going to fight the enemy, but rather like they're going on a tour."

  However, looking at those old soldiers again, they were walking forward quickly with a gloomy face, silently. They knew that the devils weren't easy to defeat. Although Liu He and his men had easily defeated the devils in the wilderness by launching a surprise attack, this was only successful because it was an ambush. Generally speaking, they didn't quite believe that Liu He and his men would be able to capture the county town by launching an attack. Not to mention that these were devils, even when they fought against their own people in the past, it was very difficult to capture the county town. Sometimes, even with several times more troops than the enemy army, they still couldn't succeed. In short, in their hearts, this road ahead was unpredictable, but their hearts were still burning hot. Fighting against the devils, even if they died, at least they would die under the guns of outsiders, not under the guns of their own compatriots. Dying like that was glorious.

  It seems that these old soldiers have no intention of returning alive. However, some old soldiers do not think so. These old soldiers know the marksmanship of Liu He's team members, who were trained with more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition. If they can't take down such a small county town, it would be a waste of so many bullets.

  But the team members didn't have any thoughts, they knew Liu He wouldn't put them in harm's way, even if one of them got hurt, Liu He would feel bad for several days, so they just followed orders and let Liu He handle how to fight.

  They finally arrived at the outskirts of the county town in the evening, after a slow and laborious journey. The reason for this slowness was those new recruits, who were carrying a lot of weapons, including dozens of machine guns, grenade launchers, and even boxes of machine gun bullets, which naturally slowed down their marching speed. Liu He couldn't say anything about it, mainly because he had scout members who could grasp the enemy's movements at all times. Moreover, before arriving at the county town, Liu He had already understood the layout of the enemy's forces inside the town, so this battle plan also had a general framework in his mind, and he just needed to observe the scene again.
