Chapter 27: Lin Feng Shows Off His Might at the Western City Gate

  That Japanese sergeant, in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of everyone, opened his arms and bear-hugged Xiangyue, his intentions obvious to anyone who wasn't an idiot.

  The Japanese army wanted to hit the moon fragrance, but Lin Feng felt that he was hitting his own face.

  Yuexiang is a personal maid, if she were to be ** by the Japanese army in public, this matter would quickly spread throughout the city, and his usual strong image as the young master of the Lin family would suffer a severe blow, which is no different from slapping himself in the face.

  Lin Feng was enraged, and with a loud shout he was about to rush over to give the sergeant a few slaps, but was stopped by a Japanese soldier who poked him in the chest with his bayonet. His shirt was torn open, and blood stains instantly spread out, not daring to move again, staring tightly at Yueliang's direction with bloodshot eyes.

  Yuexiang saw the Japanese soldier throw away his gun and rush towards her with open arms, scaring her into shouting "Ah——" and turning around to run...

  That sergeant was "wah wah" laughing strangely and chasing from behind.

  The chase of two people caused a commotion among the crowd waiting at the city gate.

  There were many people, and Yue Xiang couldn't run out, so she kept circling around the horse carriage and the Japanese soldiers.

  The coachman had never seen such a situation before and was so frightened that his legs were trembling, his back tightly stuck to the carriage, not daring to move.

  The Japanese soldiers saw this chaotic scene in front of them, but instead of stopping it, they all burst out laughing "haha".

  Lin Feng saw this situation and got angry, his chest heaving violently. Just as he was indignantly furious, he suddenly discovered that many Japanese soldiers had lowered their guns, watching the scene of Sergeant chasing after Yuexiang with rapt attention, their vigilance greatly relaxed. At once, a plan formed in his mind.

  "A good horse is often ridden by others, a good man is often deceived by others, damn it!" Lin Feng secretly gritted his teeth and shouted at Yue Xiang: "Come here to me!"

  When Lin Feng was driven down from the car by the Japanese army, he quietly paid attention to the deployment of the Japanese army at the city gate.

  The Japanese army had a force of about one company, with one man staying in the newly completed sentry box at the city gate to guard the telephone, two heavy machine gun positions on both sides of the city gate, and four men inside and outside the city gate, respectively, responsible for searching.

  As for whether there were machine gun emplacements and watchtowers inside the city gate, Lin Feng couldn't see clearly.

  Although the Japanese army was not strong, Lin Feng was even more isolated and had to take care of Yuexiang and the coachman. It would be unwise to clash with the Japanese at this time.

  But Yuexiang's disaster is imminent, and Lin Feng has no other choice in an emergency.

  Yuexiang heard her young master's shout at a critical moment of danger and, without time to think carefully, instinctively obeyed and ran over...

  The Japanese soldiers heard Lin Feng's shout and saw the woman running towards the man, and did not think that these two unarmed Chinese would pose any threat to them, laughing even more wildly.

  Yuexiang hastily ran to Lin Feng's side.

  Lin Feng pulled it back with one hand and swung it behind him...

  At this time, Sergeant had caught up with Lin Feng.

  Because Lin Feng was being pressed by the Japanese army's bayonet, he didn't take it to heart and directly bypassed it and pounced on Yue Xiang...

  Yuexiang hid behind Lin Feng's back, saw that Japanese soldier pounced over, let out a startled cry and then closed her eyes...

  Lin Feng suddenly made his move, dodging the dagger in front of his chest with a swift movement. With a sweep of his right hand, he brushed away the dagger that was originally hanging from the gun muzzle, and at the same time, his left hand reached out to grab the sergeant's neck, pulling him into his arms, with the dagger pressed against his throat...

  "Don't anyone move, or I'll take care of him first!"

  At Lin Feng's loud roar, all the Japanese soldiers were stunned.

  Not only the Japanese soldiers, but also those who were waiting at the city gate for passing pedestrians, were all shocked and couldn't close their mouths. No one had expected that this young man dressed as a gentleman would dare to pull out a tiger's teeth.

  Yue Xiang, hiding behind Lin Feng's back, closed her eyes in terror, but didn't feel any harm coming. Just as she was wondering what was happening, she heard her own young master's loud roar and opened her eyes to see a shocking scene.

  "Master..."

  Yuexiang's trembling voice due to fear entered his ears, but Lin Feng didn't have time to care about her now.

  The Japanese soldiers were slightly stunned at first, then reacted and fired a burst of gunfire, "Rat-a-tat", all aiming their guns at Lin Feng.

  There was a Japanese soldier who was relatively clever, seeing the driver leaning against the horse cart, shivering with fear, went over and grabbed him to the front, pointing his gun at his back, shouting at Lin Feng in Japanese.

  Lin Feng apparently didn't understand Japanese, so he just ignored him and pressed the bayonet against the sergeant's neck, shouting loudly: "All of you, be honest!"

  Sergeant Lei's forehead was covered in sweat, his face deathly pale.

  The Japanese soldiers couldn't understand Lin Feng's words either, and when they saw him move his bayonet, they suddenly shouted loudly.

  This is getting lively. Both sides have hostages, but they don't speak the same language, so each side just shouts loudly in their own tongue. Everyone's eyes are wide with anger, yet neither side dares to make a move.

  The two sides confronted each other.

  At the standoff, Lin Feng discovered that the Japanese troops inside the city gate had found out about the commotion here and were rushing over. Not daring to be careless, he hastily pulled the hostages in his hands towards the edge of the city wall, lest they be surrounded and caught off guard from both front and back.

  The Japanese troops in the building also discovered the anomaly on this side and quickly called to report back to their garrison.

  Yuexiang tightly grasped Lin Feng's collar and hid behind him, also moving towards the city wall.

  The people waiting at the city gate, seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, were afraid that the city gate would catch fire and harm the fish in the moat, so they didn't dare to stay there anymore and retreated one after another.

  A strip of several dozen meters was emptied out.

  Finally retreated to the foot of the city wall, Lin Feng put down his heart that had been stuck in his throat.

  Lin Feng's bold move just now was completely an impulsive act out of anxiety, and now that he has calmed down, he is starting to worry about the current situation.

  Although we have hostages in hand, the Japanese army will definitely increase more and more, the longer the time, the more unfavorable to ourselves, but now the language is not communicated, there is no way to force the Japanese to compromise and give way, what can be done?

  Time is ticking away second by second, both sides are in a tense standoff with each other holding hostages.

  About ten minutes had passed, Lin Feng was still in a tense standoff with the Japanese army, holding the hostage's neck with his bayonet, but he could feel Meixiang trembling violently beside him, unconsciously squeezing into the gap between his back and the city wall.

  With this little girl around, it's a hassle; otherwise, I would have taken the hostage and run away long ago.

  Lin Feng sighed at his bad luck, could it be that Lin Feng's over 100 catties of flesh would really be abandoned here today?

  Just then, the hostage in Lin Feng's hands seemed to be unable to withstand the heavy pressure and began to collapse mentally, becoming agitated, struggling and shouting at his companions.

  Lin Feng couldn't understand what he was shouting, but found that all the Japanese soldiers looked embarrassed, his heart tightened, and he secretly thought: "This is not good, this *** can't hold on anymore, it seems like they want to fight to the death, this won't do, your *** life isn't worth anything, I'm a valuable person worth tens of thousands, this kind of losing business I absolutely cannot do."

  Lin Feng's left arm exerted force, firmly controlling the hostage in front of his chest. His bloodshot eyes stared at the somewhat restless Japanese soldiers and shouted: "Don't move, my hand feels bad, if I get nervous, the knife might slip and stab in!"

  The Japanese soldiers heard Lin Feng's shouting and were all furious and shouting in disorder.

  Anyway, Lin Feng didn't understand either, so he got lazy and stopped thinking about it. It was just an old idea - to firmly control the hostage in his hands, not letting him escape or die.

  Suddenly, the sound of an engine came from inside the city. Before long, the engine sound reached the inner side of the city gate. After a screeching sound, soon followed by the "thud thud thud" sound of many military boots stepping on the ground in unison.

  A large number of Japanese troops rushed out of the city and surrounded Lin Feng and others, with dense machine guns and bayonets that made people's eyes dazzle and their hearts tremble.

  "Shao, young master..."

  Yuexiang was originally afraid, now with so many Japanese soldiers arriving, just this commotion alone is enough to scare her into trembling legs and chattering teeth.

  As for the rickshaw man, he was even more frightened because he was directly pointed at by the Japanese army with a gun, and at this time he had already collapsed to the ground.

  Lin Feng knew that the Japanese army might reinforce, but he didn't expect so many to come at once. He couldn't help but mentally greet the Japanese women's family members, from three years old to eight generations of ancestors, and thought: "This is also too much for Laozi, just to deal with me alone, it seems like the entire county's Japanese army has arrived."

  Does it matter?

  Lin Feng looked down and took a glance at the hostage in front of him, guessing: "This kid won't be the younger brother-in-law of the Japanese Emperor, will he?"

  Look, Lin Feng is really reckless, even at this critical moment of life and death, he still has the mood to indulge in wild thoughts.

  What Lin Feng thought was not too far-fetched, the army captain he held hostage was not the younger brother of the Japanese Emperor, but rather the nephew of Itō's battalion commander - Itō Kamejirō.

  Don't think that this guy's name is weird and assume it's the author making it up, but in fact, Chinese people use "turtle" as an insult, while Japanese people consider it to mean longevity.

  The Japanese are originally like this, no matter how shameless the thing is, they can always come up with a set of "reasonable" reasons to justify it.

  Lin Feng looked at the Japanese army surrounding him and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

  Just then, the Japanese army, which had just closed in, parted in the middle and opened up a path.

  Lin Feng was just unclear when he saw several Japanese military officers walking over from that aisle with gloomy faces.

  The one walking in front was a short and stout man carrying a baton, followed by more than ten attendants.

  Judging from this lineup, the person who came should be a high-ranking officer of the Japanese army.

  The officer was none other than Ito himself.

  Behind him, in addition to Yamada and Ono, there were about a dozen members of the brigade.

  Lin Feng did not recognize Ito and could not understand the military rank, but from the formation of the people who came, he knew that this was a high-ranking officer in the Japanese army.

  These people had just arrived in front of them, and Shōno, who had made great contributions by attacking Xiping County, took a step forward without waiting for Itō's order. With a "swish" sound, he drew his command sword and pointed it at Lin Feng, shouting in stiff Chinese: "Ba ga, quickly let go of Mr. Itō!"
