Chapter 65: Passing the Gate and Beheading the General

  Han Hongxun burst out laughing and said, "You're just trying to fool your old brother Han! I heard from the brothers that at dawn today when you attacked the Japanese artillery position, you single-handedly took down more than 50 of them? Is this true?"

  Ye Tu Fei pretended to be surprised and said, "Who's spouting nonsense?! One breath can take down over 50 little Japanese? Don't talk nonsense, even if it were 50 steamed buns, I couldn't finish them in one breath!"

  Han Hongxun burst out laughing again and said: "Others don't know, but I don't know either? Don't forget, Brother Han has your blood on him, so I can see through you."

  Ye Tu Fei burst out laughing and said, "Old Han, you shouldn't be the captain, you should follow Old Dai to do espionage, see who looks like a yakuza, then get some of his blood and transfuse it into yourself, guaranteed to be effective."

  "Great idea, I'll call Boss Dai tomorrow."

  Just then, Wei Xiangdong returned, and Han Hongxun was somewhat surprised, asking: "What's going on? Why didn't I hear any gunfire?"

  Wei Dong said: "Why use guns? That's a waste! The brothers are using knives, one person one knife, more than enough!"

  Han Hongxun was unhappy upon hearing this and said: "Why didn't you tell old Han about it beforehand, you little brat! I thought it would be a simple matter to resolve with just one word, but I didn't expect you to use such a method. Now I'm also regretful."

  Ye Tu Fei looked at him with disdain and said, "Cut the crap, Old Han! Speak with your conscience, how many little Japanese have died in your hands? With just this much food, you still want to fight with the younger brothers?"

  Han Hongxun smiled and said, "Well, let these little brothers take advantage of it, I'll just suffer a loss and won't bother to settle accounts with you."

  Wei Dong gave Ye Tufei a look of appreciation at this time, and secretly gave Ye Tufei a thumbs up. Ye Tufei saw it, but pretended not to understand, asking: "Brother Dong, what does this mean?"

  Wei Dong abruptly made things clear and said: "I represent my brothers in thanking Sixth Master!"

  Han Hongxun said loudly: "What's the point of thanking him? I'm telling you, Little Wei, next time we capture a Japanese prisoner, we'll still kill him!"

  Ye Tufei said: "Right! Let's follow Old Han's lead, catch one and kill one, catch a pair and kill a pair! Otherwise, if those little Japanese all kneel down in front of us like this, how can we avenge our fallen brothers?"

  Just as they were chatting happily, a brother came over to report: "Sixth Master, the battlefield has been cleaned up and the captured little devils have also been dealt with. Luo Hui asked me to come ask you if we should set off immediately?"

  Ye Tu Fei asked: "Has everyone eaten something?"

  The brother replied: "A lot of canned meat was found in the warehouse of Little Japan, and it was all distributed to the brothers. Brother Luo Hui's intention is that we eat while walking."

  Ye Tu Fei asked again: "Can all of you brothers drink some hot water?"

  The brother replied: "Big Brother Shanhu brought people to burn several large pots, and the brothers will definitely be able to drink boiling water."

  Ye Tu Fei was very satisfied with what he heard and snapped his fingers, saying: "Then let's get out of here!"

  The moon is already hanging on the edge of the sky.

  Under the moonlight, they marched over 50 miles and approached the second blockade line of the Japanese army.

  "How to hit?" Han Hongxun was somewhat impatient, chasing after Ye Tufei and asking.

  Han Hongxun's question was only three words, but these three words were what Ye Tufei had been thinking about all the way.

  The first encirclement of the Japanese army against Ye Tufei's attack was clearly unprepared, and the hasty response and underestimation were the main reasons for the Japanese defeat. However, the second encirclement must have received a warning, they will not be caught off guard again, nor will they underestimate again, they will wait in strict formation.

  If a strong attack is launched, it will inevitably come at a great cost. If a breakthrough can be achieved after paying a heavy price, then so be it. But if a stalemate forms, that would be dangerous, especially with a large number of pursuing troops behind.

  Ye Tu Fei didn't answer Han Hong Xun, but instead found a spot with a broader view and carefully observed the terrain with binoculars.

  Only the moonlight is weak, how can Ye Tu Fei see clearly?

  Han Hongxun expressed deep skepticism about this.

  Ye Tu Fei still ignored Han Hong Xun's suspicions and continued to gaze through the telescope.

  Han Hongxun became anxious, stretched out his hand to grab Ye Tu's binoculars, and after grabbing them, he looked at them himself, saying: "What is this? Can't see anything clearly!"

  Ye Tu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, under this light, the visible distance is just over a hundred meters."

  Han Hongxun seemed to realize something and asked: "What do you mean?"

  Ye Tu Fei shrugged and said: "I didn't mean anything, just a casual remark."

  Han Hongxun naturally didn't believe it and said: "I can't take care of so many things, how to fight, you just say a word, let me go east I absolutely won't go west."

  Ye Tu Fei suddenly laughed and said: "Then what if I let you go back?"

  Han Hongxun was stunned and said: "Go back? Why go back?"

  "Does what you just said not count?" Ye Tu Fei retorted.

  Han Hongxun scratched his head and said: "I, old Han, have always been one to spit on the ground and make a hole, when have I ever spoken without keeping my word?"

  Ye Tufei revealed a strange smile, leaned his head close to Han Hongxun's ear and said something in a low voice. Han Hongxun listened intently, nodding frequently.

  Half an hour later, Ye Tufei led his troops to launch an attack on the Japanese army's blockade line.

  Ye Tufei's attack method was simple and rough. First, the artillery fire of the mortar destroyed it, then ten machine guns suppressed the Japanese army's position with firepower, after doing these lessons, they organized a charge team to charge at the Japanese army's position.

  The Japanese commander was astonished that the enemy's charges were extremely dense, but each time they failed at a place about 100-200 meters in front of the position. The astonishment aroused his curiosity, so he picked up his binoculars to take a look, but the light was too weak and he couldn't see clearly, only seeing the enemy falling one after another in front of the position.

  "Haha, let's keep fighting like this!" The Japanese military commander was very satisfied with the situation.

  At this time, a fierce gunshot came from behind Ye Tufei's team.

  The sound of the gunfire reached the ears of the commander of the Japanese blockade line. The commander was overjoyed, knowing that the Imperial Japanese Army's pursuit unit from Xuzhou had caught up and formed a pincer movement against the Chinese enemy forces.

  After the great joy, I hurriedly observed the situation on the battlefield.

  At a glance, the Japanese commander was excited. The Chinese army in front had stopped attacking and the firepower suppression on their own position had also ceased. It seemed that the Chinese army had been severely attacked by the pursuing troops from Xuzhou, so they transferred all their limited superior firepower to the rear.

  What are we waiting for? Charge! Crush the Chinese army under the feet of Imperial warriors!

  The Japanese commander waved his saber, urging the Imperial warriors to leap out of the trenches and charge at the Chinese army.

  Ye Tufei, holding a telescope, had been waiting for this moment. He let out a cold snort and thought to himself, "Since you've come out, then don't go back!"

  At the sound of the order, more than ten machine guns, several hundred rifles, nearly ten mortars, and more than twenty launchers all fired at the Japanese troops who had jumped out of their trenches and were approaching within a hundred meters.

  Ye Tu Fei used everything he could use, without holding back a single bit.

  This is purely a massacre.

  Twenty minutes later, Han Hongxun led his troops to join the battlefield. Unfortunately, the dishes left for Han Hongxun's troops had already been scraped clean, and all he could do was lick the plate to satisfy his craving.

  This is unbearable for Han Hongxun's character, and this old brother rushed to Ye Tufei and muttered: "Ye, what do you mean? You eat meat and don't leave any soup for Old Han?"

  Ye Tu Fei apologetically replied, "Really sorry, old brother. This meat is too delicious, I couldn't help myself for a moment. Next time, next time I'll definitely let Old Han eat the meat first."

  Han Hongxun pointed at Ye Tufei and said: "You little guy, you have to keep your word, otherwise I, Old Han, won't acknowledge you as my brother."

  Ye Tu Fei smiled and said: "I'll stake my reputation on it, next time I'll let you choose first."

  Han Hongxun blinked a few times and finally came back to himself, bursting into loud laughter.

  Ye Tu Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing too.

  After laughing, Han Hongxun said: "This time we caught more than a dozen prisoners again. Let's go and take a look?"

  Yè Tú Fēi said: "That kind of bloody scene, I don't like it, let's not go."

  Han Hongxun refused, saying: "How can that be? You must go, consider it as an apology to your elder brother Han."

  Ye Tu Fei was dragged by Han Hong Xun to the place where the Japanese prisoners were being executed.

  Wei Dong saw the two of them coming over and hastily went up to greet them, saying: "Sixth Master, Big Brother Han, how did you both end up with free time?"

  Han Hongxun smiled and nodded, saying: "Not yet, want to take advantage of Wei brothers' benefits, okay?"

  Wei Dong smiled and said: "No big deal! Shi Heizi, bring a large knife over for General Han!"

  Under a simple tent, Yamagishi read the frontline report to Nobuo Takahashi.

  After listening to Yamashita's battle report, Takashi Higuchi remained silent.

  Ye Tufei surprisingly broke through the second blockade line of the Imperial Yankuai team, greatly exceeding Gaoqiao Xin's expectations. Gaoqiao Xin thought that the first blockade line was broken due to underestimating Ye Tufei, but this second blockade line had already been warned with a level-one combat order, yet it was still easily broken by Ye Tufei, and the outcome of the Imperial Yankuai team on the defensive line was almost identical.

  Takahashi couldn't help but take in a sharp breath of cold air.

  "Yamashita-san, where is our pursuit unit now?"

  "Thirty kilometers to go before reaching the second blockade line!"

  "What? It's been six hours already, how can you have only traveled 40 kilometers?"

  "Kao Qiao Jun doesn't know that Ye Tu Fei destroyed the road surface when he passed by, my pursuit troops are repairing the road while advancing, so naturally we can't speed up!"

  Takahashi Nobuo clenched his fists and bellowed, "Fools! You're all fools! Can't a car move? And can't you even walk with two legs? Don't you know to abandon the car and march quickly?"

  Yamashita Keigo looked like a student who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and said: "I'll go set it up now."

  Kao Chiao Hsin walked out of his anger and quickly calmed down, saying: "Take down the tent, I'll go there myself."
