Chapter 7

  This won't work out if we keep going like this. So, Li Bin pulled the young man: "Quickly, let's retreat from here! Follow me and we can shake off the devils!"

  He pulled up the young man, crouching down and using a large stone as cover, quietly retreating into the grass thicket behind.

  A group of Japanese soldiers "pia pia pa" shot for half a day, but found that there was no movement behind the stone at all. The little devil captain suddenly seemed to think of something and shouted: "Hachi ga! Did the Chinese run away? Quick chase over!"

  The Japanese soldiers who were shooting while lying on the ground heard their captain's shout and jumped up, with their short legs moving quickly as they rushed towards the big stone. Before long, the Japanese arrived in front of the stone and found that there was no one behind it. They looked carefully again and saw two human shadows entering the forest.

  "Ah-ah! The Chinese are escaping! Quick, chase after them!" These devils turned their heads and shouted loudly to the other Japanese soldiers behind them in their bird language.

  A group of Japanese soldiers all jumped up and chased after Li Bin and the Northeast Army officer in the direction they were escaping.

  Japanese soldiers were shooting and chasing behind, Li Bin took the young man to run desperately into the woods. At this time, Li Bin had only one thought in his mind, that was to get rid of these damn Japanese as soon as possible. The woods echoed with shrill gunfire, bullets whizzed from behind the two men, hitting the trees around them, and the bark and leaves were blown away piece by piece.

  However, the endurance of these short-legged piglets was not weak at all. Looking at their short legs, they ran with a speed that was quite fast. No matter how Li Bin and the young man ran, they couldn't shake off those hateful devils.

  As they couldn't shake off the devils, Li Bin had an idea and led the young men to sprint towards the depths of the forest where the Type 95 tank was hidden. The Japanese troops behind them pursued relentlessly, shooting and chasing after them all the way.

  The Japanese invaders will not let go of an anti-Japanese hero! Therefore, the Japanese behind them pursued closely, and it seems that they would not rest until they tore Li Bin and this young officer to pieces.

  "Brother, if we keep running like this, when will it ever end?" The young officer asked while running.

  Li Bin ran in the direction he had indicated while panting and replied, "Soon, soon we'll be able to take them down!"

  The young officer turned around and shot at the Japanese who were following them like ghosts, then ran forward again. He felt bewildered and didn't know what method this strange person they met today had to eliminate these Japanese.

  However, the officer thought to himself: This person is also strange, wearing a military uniform that looks weird, and using an assault rifle that he had never seen before. I really don't know what other strange weapons he will pull out next. Who exactly is this person?

  Neither of them knew how long they had been running, and Li Bin cursed in his heart: damn it, why is this road so short, we've been running for so long and still haven't seen the tank? In fact, this is a natural human reaction. Under extremely unbearable circumstances, people will feel that time is passing more slowly.

  After running for about two miles, Li Bin finally saw the "iron giant" quietly lying in the woods. Seeing the tank also made him feel a sense of reliance in his heart. Although this tank was no longer movable, as long as they got into the tank, one person used the parallel machine gun and another person operated the high-altitude machine gun, they would definitely be able to beat the devils who were chasing them to pieces.

  After seeing the tank, Li Bin quickened his pace. He ran while saying to the officer, "Brother, follow me onto the tank!"

  At this time, the officer had not yet figured out what was going on. He raised his head and suddenly saw a tank with camouflage paint appearing in front of him from the woods. The camouflage blended into the forest, making it impossible to see that there was a tank hidden here if one didn't look carefully. He followed Li Bin as he stepped forward, and in just a few steps they rushed to the front of the vehicle. Before he could even praise the tank's large-caliber artillery, which was practically a heavy cannon, Li Bin had already climbed onto the tank.

  "Brother, come up quickly!" Li Bin shouted back.

  As the officer climbed onto the tank, Li Bin had already entered the vehicle. He told the officer, "Quickly operate the machine gun on top of the car! The safety has been released! You just need to sweep horizontally!"

  The officer had just jumped into the vehicle when bullets whizzed in from behind, hitting the tank with a loud "ding-dong" and spewing out sparks.

  "Danger! Come in first!" Li Bin shouted at the officer.

  As Li Bin's voice was heard, the officer's head had just withdrawn into the turret when two scorching bullets whizzed over the top of the vehicle.

  The Japanese who rushed to the scene suddenly found a "cannon platform" in front of them, and they were shocked. However, these well-trained Japanese soldiers soon stopped feeling fearful. The commander of the Japanese squad drew his command sword and shouted: "Up, attack this cannon platform!"

  The Japanese had no idea that this was a tank, because the tanks they had seen before didn't have such thick gun barrels. Moreover, compared to the small tanks equipped by their own army, the one in front of them was like a toy car! Therefore, they thought that what appeared in front of them must be an artillery emplacement!

  The devils "rattled" towards the "gun emplacement" with intense gunfire, bullets hitting the "gun emplacement" and spewing out sparks. Two grenade launchers crouched down and fired watermelon hand grenades at the "gun emplacement".

  A hand grenade with a whistling sound fell on the tank and exploded, only to see a flash of fire, a loud roar, and the suffocating smoke enveloped the tank. When the smoke gradually dispersed, the tank was intact!

  "Charge and capture the artillery emplacement!" Seeing that the guns and grenade launchers in the hands of his soldiers could not break through the "artillery emplacement", the Japanese squad leader ordered the soldiers to charge and occupy the "artillery emplacement".

  Just as the Japanese soldiers were shouting and rushing up, the "gun emplacement" suddenly started rotating, the thick cannon barrel turned around, and the dark muzzle was aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were charging up. However, the muzzle did not spit out flames, but only saw a thin tube under the barrel suddenly spitting out a crimson flame, and a storm of machine gun bullets poured out from the parallel machine guns, shooting towards those Japanese soldiers who were rushing up.

  Despite the Japanese soldiers being well-trained, they were helpless in front of this "iron giant". The bullets shot towards them like a swarm of locusts, knocking down these enemies like withered grass. The bullets hit their soft flesh, drilling into their bodies, tearing apart internal organs, and exiting from behind with great kinetic energy. In an instant, the Japanese crowd was splattered with blood, one by one, the Japanese soldiers let out mournful cries, falling to the ground in succession.

  Li Bin moved the muzzle, aiming at the Japanese snipers under the tree. A string of scorching bullets whizzed by, shooting those Japanese snipers to pieces, splashing blood and flesh everywhere.

  Machine gun bullets whizzed through the bodies of the grenade launchers like a whirlwind, powerful heavy machine gun bullets pierced into the human body, and when they came out from behind, they left several bowl-sized wounds. The two grenade launchers didn't even have time to let out a scream before falling to the ground dead.

  As crisp volleys of machine gun fire rang out, one by one, the Japanese who dared to show their faces were ruthlessly mowed down by bullets.

  "The devil's godly gunner and grenade thrower have been taken down by me! You quickly get on the heavy machine gun, we must eliminate these devils!" Li Bin shouted to the officer. Li Bin was worried that since the turret rotation speed was not fast, if no one controlled the anti-aircraft machine gun, then once the Japanese came around from behind, they would face extreme danger.

  The officer heard Li Bin's shout and opened the hatch, climbed out of the turret and grasped a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

  Although it was his first time operating this machine gun, he, who was familiar with the Maxim heavy machine gun, understood at a glance that this must be a heavy machine gun. The trigger's firing method was definitely the same as the Maxim heavy machine gun, which was a double-handed grip-fired gun mechanism, rather than the single-handed trigger-pull firing method of rifles.

  In just a few seconds, the Northeastern Army officer familiar with this machine gun turned the muzzle, aimed at the Japanese who were being beaten by the parallel machine guns, and pressed the trigger. Suddenly, the anti-aircraft machine gun fired a dull and continuous shooting sound, the bullet chain quickly shortened, and the shell flew out from the other side. The muzzle spat out a long fire tongue, and the powerful 12.7mm bullets swept towards the Japanese horizontally. Wherever the bullets went, large trees as thick as a bowl mouth fell down with a crash, and the stones and soil on the ground flew into the air like being rolled up by a strong wind. Even the Japanese hiding behind the trees could not escape. The bullets drilled into the trunk of the tree as thick as a hug, leaving holes as big as a bowl mouth, and then pierced through the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the trees, ruthlessly "cutting off" them in two pieces.

  A Japanese soldier was hit in the head by a high-explosive shell, and all that was heard was a "plop" sound. His helmet flew far away, and his head instantly turned into a splattered blood mist, just like someone's brain being smashed by a bloody fist.

  Right after that, another string of bullets penetrated a large tree and hit the chest of a Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier was cut in half from the chest down, with his upper body flying several meters away. His lower body remained standing on the ground, with dirty blood and flesh spraying out from his chest cavity. The body without its upper half convulsed a few times before slowly falling to the ground.
