Volume 1: Fierce Battle in Singapore Chapter 22: Almost Became an Enemy's Meat Bun (2)

  "What about the situation on this side?" Tianhu's face turned completely black as he listened.

  "Report, it's quiet on this side to the right. It's possible that the situation is similar to the left side, only no one has come out running. I estimate they've all been captured by the enemy," said the scout who went to the right side.

  "Has anyone seen any movement from the enemy?"

  "The enemy's camp was quiet and still, with no signs of movement or even a glimmer of light."

  Tianhu listened, his upper and lower lips tightly clenched together. He thought for a moment, then suddenly rubbed his nose hard, and ordered the four scouts who had just returned: "You four go to the right to rescue that injured soldier. After finding him, directly carry him back to the shore to gather. The others, follow me to retreat back to the boat."

  "Why don't we just give up?" one of the team members asked.

  "Obey orders." Tiān Hǔ said with a wave of his hand, wanting everyone to follow him.

  "No way. Captain Guo Yinan said that we must do everything possible to get rid of the ghost blocking our way and let all the overseas Chinese on the ship go ashore smoothly. You coward, you don't even dare to fight and want to run away with your tail between your legs. Why should we follow you back? Leave the machine gun behind, if you want to leave, leave by yourself."

  Tianhu was stunned. He had not expected that this group of troops would disobey his command at a critical moment.

  "Listen to me, everyone." Tianhu had no choice but to explain to the crowd, "The situation on both sides is the same. The people who were originally sent out to lure the enemy changed their plan without permission and ended up being captured by the enemy. So now the enemy must know our purpose and location. Think about it, if you were commanding the Japanese army and knew this information, what decision would you make? Wouldn't you quietly unite the three troops and surround us?"

  Tianhu said so, and some people in the team began to discuss: "Tianhu is right."

  Tianhu let out a sigh of relief and continued, "The scouts on the left encountered our injured men who were sent out to lure the enemy. They told us that Ahmad was overconfident and tried to sneak up on the Japanese with just three people, but ended up getting caught by their ambush. On the other hand, the scouts on the right told us that the Japanese base is eerily quiet, without even a single light on - isn't this an unusual phenomenon? Combining the information from both sides, it's not hard to figure out that our men who were sent to lure the enemy have all been caught, and the enemy has already found out about our plan to capture the road junction. They've quietly mobilized their troops and are planning to surround us from three sides. Think about it, even if we don't consider the enemy's equipment, they have more than three times our numbers, giving them an absolute advantage over us. It wouldn't be hard for them to annihilate us in a small battle, would it? Listen to me, let's retreat quickly, or else we'll soon become the enemy's meat pies."

  "So that's how it is. Then why did you still send scouts to rescue the injured?" someone asked further.

  "That wounded warrior is a good guy, although he didn't dare to come back, he still met our scouts and told us the true situation, which saved us. Not to mention that he is our comrade-in-arms, just this point we cannot abandon him. What do you all think?" Tianhu continued to explain.

  I recommend a good new book "Dog God", stable updates, and the quality is not bad. Friends who are troubled by book scarcity can take a look, hehe.
