Chapter 53: A Perilous Battle

  "Come on, come on, hurry up, you guys should move faster." Liu He muttered anxiously in his heart, this was too urgent, the team members who had been hiding at the front had already been buried in the snow for nearly three hours.

  These devils are really something, the more anxious you are, the slower they walk, as if these devils know their time is running out and want to live a few more minutes in this world.

  "Halt, everyone has arrived, rest in place and eat quickly. We must strive to return to the garrison before nightfall, for this place is notorious for the Eighth Route Army's nighttime raids."

  The leader of the squad said, after finishing speaking, he first relaxed the armed belt on his body, and even came to the front of Liu He's hiding place, took out his weapon and started firing.

  This is really surprising, and I don't know if looking at it will make me grow chicken eyes. Since they are the same sex, it shouldn't happen, but then again, this is a beastly thing to see, so it's even more unlikely.

  Moreover, Liu He also understood at this time why their rattan knives were so popular, these little devils used them too suitably.

  Liu He slowly turned his head, observing the surroundings. This was really dangerous. Groups of devils were starting to leak water on both sides of the road, and some devils hadn't even entered the ambush circle yet. It shouldn't be time to rest now.

  Liu He estimated the time, and it seemed that there was still over an hour before dark. Perhaps the commander of this Japanese troop had seen that this place was flat, so he temporarily decided to rest here. According to Liu He's calculation, they were still about three hours away from their garrison. Maybe after eating here, they would speed up their march.

  Oh no, Liu He discovered that the devils were heading towards where his team members were hiding. What's over there? Suddenly, Liu He found out that in the distance, it seemed like there were a few trees. It seems that the devils wanted to go find firewood, this won't be hidden anymore, might as well fight.

  "Bang." "Slap." Liu He's head jerked up, just as he emerged from the snow, and then he shouted, and the muzzle of his gun rose, hitting that devil company commander right in the back of the head. This devil company commander was really too close to Liu He, shooting him didn't even require aiming.

  "Bang, bang, bang, bang……" After Liu He's gunshot, the others' guns also rang out almost simultaneously. At this time, it was clear that the devils' reaction speed was fast. Some devils had already fallen to the ground. This wasn't because the team members reacted slowly, but they wasted some time first needing to crawl out of the snow. Those close to the devils didn't need to aim and could fire directly, while those farther away still needed to aim, wasting more than two seconds.

  When the second shot of the slow team member rang out, some devils had already fallen to the ground and reloaded their bullets, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the team members.

  "The main force is in the first group, 200 meters to the left, open fire!" Liu He shouted hoarsely. At this time, the devils in the distance also raised their guns, and just as they were about to pull the trigger, Liu He's shout attracted their attention, and all the gun barrels turned towards him.

  "Not good," Liu He fell into the ambush pit again, "Bang bang bang..."

  A burst of gunfire hit the ground in front of Liu He, fortunately this ambush pit was dug a bit deep, Liu He lay down inside, just enough to block all the incoming bullets.

  "You little devils are looking for death, Captain..." "Rat-a-tat-tat..." The main team's guns also fired immediately, and those shooting devils were instantly knocked to the ground.

  It can be said that Liu He's shout attracted the attention of the devils, allowing his comrades to dodge a disaster, but Liu He himself was in danger. The group of comrades at the time were anxious and some even directly fired all the bullets from their guns. Looking again, those devils had been shot into sieves. Perhaps in the minds of the comrades, with such dense gunfire, Liu He could not have escaped.

  "Alright you guys, don't waste any more bullets." Liu He's voice was light and gentle, but to the team members it was like music to their ears, really great, the captain didn't have anything to say.

  "Captain, are you okay? Captain, where are you hurt?" Instantly, a group of team members surrounded him, feeling all over Liu He's body with their hands, not even leaving out a piece of torn fabric, just to check if Liu He was injured.

  "Alright, alright, I'm fine, I'm not a woman, don't take advantage of me." "Haha... haha..." Perhaps seeing that Liu He was really okay, everyone burst out laughing.

  But Liu He was overjoyed at this time, looking at the bullet holes in front of him, if it were a little closer, they would have hit Liu He too, that is, this place was a bit high, otherwise, he really would have been shot. How deep can this ambush pit be? This pit is for concealment, not for defense. Fortunately, Liu He chose this place, if it were on flat ground, his life would have been gone long ago.

  Also, the members of the main battle team are also filled with gratitude for Liu He. Without Liu He's loud shout, they would definitely have had a few deaths. Now it's good that these shootable devils have fallen under their guns. Perhaps in the hearts of the devils, this head is worth more than ordinary people. In Liu He's team, there is no such phenomenon as designating someone's range, whoever's range is whoever's range, and if they scramble for it, it will also be life-threatening.

  "Alright, everyone stop surrounding me and go search the enemy's clothes and spoils of war." Liu He waved his hand outward, meaning for them to leave.

  "Captain, look at this, how can we collect them." When the team members finished collecting the bodies of the devils who were ambushed and killed in front, they are now looking at the ones behind who were also shot dead. Each of these devils has an average of five or six wounds on their body, and their clothes are all soaked with blood.

  "A little blood, what's the big deal? It's not like you're going to wear it. This way, when you're old, won't you have more stories to tell?" Ah, right, "You, don't snatch, this is the one I killed. The one you should kill is that ghost." Rarely, on the battlefield, there was a scramble for the ghost's corpse, especially those with multiple bullet holes, which were their preferred target. However, don't misunderstand, they snatched the corpses to strip off the ghosts' clothes.

  Looking at the bullet holes on this garment, and thinking of Liu He's words, yes, when I'm old, with my children and grandchildren around me, holding this garment with many bullet holes, telling them, "In those days, your old man..."
