Chapter Twelve: The Kamikaze Corps

  Starving and locked up for half a day, no one came to see him. It was not until the wee hours that someone suddenly came to take him away, but Lin Feng did not move.

  "Where is it?"

  Lin Feng lay on the ground and asked.

  "No nonsense! When I tell you to leave, follow me - it's Commander Lian's order!"

  The soldiers carried away the company commander, and Lin Feng had no choice but to obey orders.

  It's still that empty space in front of the department building.

  When Lin Feng followed the soldier here, a team of more than ten people was already standing there.

  Three company commanders stood at the front of the formation with guardsmen, silent.

  The soldier who brought Lin Feng here came before the company commander, stood at attention and saluted, then reported: "Report to the company commander, Lin Feng has arrived!"

  The three consecutive long-faced men said expressionlessly: "Return to the team."

  "Yes!"

  The soldiers return to their unit.

  Lin Feng was left standing in his original position.

  He didn't bother to reason with San Lian Chang, and began issuing orders: "I command that Wang Yuzhu be the captain of the Dare-to-Die Corps. The Dare-to-Die Corps must blow up the Japanese artillery position at exactly 2 am."

  "Yes!"

  The warriors of the squad responded in unison.

  Lin Feng only then realized that the small team in front of him was a dare-to-die corps, and his own squad leader Wang Yuzhu had also joined and been appointed as the captain.

  Wang Yuzhu carried two rifles on his back, took a step forward, and saluted the company commander: "Report to the company commander, Captain Wang Yuzhu of the Dare-to-Die Troop requests permission for Lin Feng, a member of the Dare-to-Die Troop, to return to the troop."

  "Approved."

  When did I become a member of the dare-to-die squad? Lin Feng shouted in his heart, I haven't lived enough yet, where is the dare to die?!

  Lin Feng was extremely displeased with this new identity, but under the gaze of San Lian's unyielding and majestic eyes, he reluctantly returned to the team.

  Sanlian Chang saw Lin Feng's old and honest entry into the team, then brought his gaze back, turned to Wang Yuzhu, took off his own watch and handed it over: "You take this watch, remember to blow up the Japanese artillery position at exactly 2 am, the suicide squad will use your explosion sound and flames as a signal to launch a charge against the Japanese battalion headquarters to support you."

  In the darkness, there is a team marching forward.

  The sky was somewhat gloomy, just like Lin Feng's current mood.

  Whoever is inexplicably given the "glorious" title of a dare-to-die squad member, and is sent to carry out a task that will surely lead to death, their mood would be just like Lin Feng's now!

  That Han Yang sword has been returned by Wang Yuzhu and is now on Lin Feng's back.

  Wang Yuzhu seemed to know Lin Feng's current depression and took the initiative to talk to him.

  "When you were locked up, the Japanese army didn't launch a large-scale attack, I heard it was because someone had been robbed."

  "Oh?" This was beyond Lin Feng's expectations.

  "It's true, the Japanese army's supply team was robbed, and they urgently withdrew troops to support it, so they could only slow down their attack on us."

  "Really? Did it work?"

  "It's unclear, all I know is that the Japanese army withdrew many people from the attacking troops to provide support." said Wang Yuzhu.

  The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was very strong, and Lin Feng could only pray to the passing gods, praying for the gods to bless those who went to plunder the Japanese supplies.

  Of course, Lin Feng didn't believe in the saying of gods and ghosts either, because he himself wasn't a good person.

  Japanese artillery positions.

  This is a small hillside with sparse trees.

  Four military tents were set up among the trees, one of which had a light shining through it, presumably the command center. The other three should have one for storing ammunition and two for living quarters.

  Four Type 92 infantry guns were placed on open ground, with a fire burning beside them.

  Huo Shang used branches to make a frame, hung upside down a pot, the pot was cooking several chickens, already eight minutes cooked, the aroma wafted out, smelling it made one's mouth water.

  Several Japanese soldiers on duty surrounded the bonfire, chattering and laughing, sniffing the fragrance wafting from the pot, their faces filled with excitement.

  Occasionally, a small patrol team would pass by the bonfire, and the two groups of people would chat and laugh, without any tense or serious look.

  In fact, the life of Japanese people in their hometown is not very good. Since the 3.2 earthquake occurred in Japan and triggered a tsunami, leading to a sharp decline in economy and massive unemployment, ordinary Japanese people have been living below the poverty line.

  This is also one of the reasons why Japanese soldiers went to China and indulged in burning, killing and looting without restraint.

  The artillery position of the Japanese army was established in the rear, and there was still a battalion of infantry between it and the Luhe position, so it was considered safe. As a result, the sentries were also relatively numb and did not spread out to their posts, but instead gathered together to cook and eat chicken.

  On both sides of the position, there were also machine gun emplacements, but no one was guarding them. It seems that the Japanese army really thought they were very safe here.

  On the edge of this artillery position, there was a gully washed out by mountain torrents, in which grew thickets of thorns and tall grasses; Lin Peak and his dare-to-die troops lay in ambush here.

  It's just over 50 meters away from the artillery position. If a surprise attack is launched, one charge can rush in.

  The dare-to-die corps had gone through a big circle to get here, so it took a bit longer, and now it's already dawn.

  Lin Feng didn't eat anything yesterday at noon or in the evening, and he was already very hungry. Now, being teased by the fragrance wafting from the pot on that side, his hunger became unbearable, and he couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

  Lin Feng's sound of swallowing saliva was still quite loud, and Wang Yuzhu naturally heard it.

  Wang Yuzhu was also hungry, although he had eaten some dry rations sent to the front line by the logistics team for dinner, but after marching for so long, that little food had been digested a long time ago.

  Wang Yuzhu patted Lin Feng's shoulder and took a step back.

  Lin Feng also followed and shrunk over.

  Wang Yuzhu lowered his head and thought for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "Lin Feng, can you think of a way to get around to the Japanese army's flank?"

  Lin Feng raised his head and looked up at the mountain slope, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

  "I happen to know that there's a thicket of bushes on the slope ahead, and we should be able to sneak past without being discovered by the Japanese army, as long as they don't have a sentry post set up there."

  "No, that's too dangerous. If we're exposed and the Japanese military becomes alert, our entire operation will be completely ruined." Wang Yuzhu decisively vetoed Lin Feng's suggestion, "Is there no other route?"

  "It's gone." Lin Feng fell into thought, and after a moment, he said, "Unless we go around the entire battlefield, I'm afraid our time won't be enough."

  Wang Yuzhu looked down at the luminous watch on his wrist that Lian Chang had given him and said, "There's still over an hour to go, it's not enough time, looks like we can only fight our way through."

  Hard work?

  Lin Feng looked at his comrades around him, there were only these dozen or so people.

  Although I don't know how many Japanese soldiers there are, looking at the stalls laid out on their position, I estimate that there aren't many people, and yet with just over a dozen men you want to go for a fierce battle?

  It's hard enough just getting close to the enemy's position, let alone trying to blast their artillery emplacements.

  At this time, the Japanese army's position had already cooked the chicken, and several Japanese soldiers picked up their rice boxes on the ground, scooping out the chicken meat from the pot while excitedly shouting "Wow wow".

  Lin Feng glanced over there and saw a Japanese soldier stuffing a piece of steaming chicken into his mouth, with saliva almost dripping down.

  His stomach growled loudly, and Lin Feng cursed in his heart: "Eat, eat, eat, stuff yourselves to death, you cheap whores."

  Wang Yuzhu saw Lin Feng's expression, of course, knew what he was thinking, and said: "Don't be angry, let them show off for a while, soon they will be sent back home to drink millet porridge."

  "Pshaw! Not even allowing them to drink rice porridge!"

  Lin Feng said coldly.

  Listening to Lin Feng speaking like a child, Wang Yuzhu almost burst out laughing.

  Lin Feng turned around and said to Wang Yuzhu: "Fighting hard is definitely not going to work, we are too few."

  "This kid changes the subject too quickly, Wang Yuzhu is a bit unadapted, and after a slight pause, he said: "I also had no choice, at first I was going to let you go around to the other side, wait for the time to come and then shoot coldly - this is your strong point, attract the attention of the Japanese army, and then I will lead the team to break through from here, rush in and find the Japanese ammunition directly blow it up, but you can't get past, so I have no choice."

  Wang Yuzhu finished speaking and stared into Lin Feng's eyes.

  Lin Feng's eyes shone faintly in the dark night, very clear, very firm, and very calm, giving people a sense of confidence.

  "Don't worry, there's still time, let's think of another way."

  Lin Feng didn't want to risk his own life, now he doesn't want to die and can't die, there are still many things that need him to do, such as... forget it, Xiaofeng's affairs aren't what should be thought about right now. As for Yao Fengyun of the Yao family, I haven't even seen her before, who would want to take care of her? It's just that after so long, I still can't return home, mother must be missing me a lot!

  Thinking of the situation at home, especially his mother, Lin Feng became even more determined to survive and return.

  Damn it, that blind guy got me into a daredevil team. When it comes to the crunch, I still don't dare die.

  Lin Feng did not know that this time he was personally selected by Captain Sanlian to form a dare-to-die corps.

  Wang Yuzhu was originally not selected for the dare-to-die corps, but after hearing that Lin Feng was going to become a member of the dare-to-die corps, he inexplicably volunteered to join the dare-to-die corps.

  In the current atmosphere of the National Army where everyone was avoiding battles, Wang Yuzhu's move won the praise of San Lianzhang, and he was appointed as the captain of a dare-to-die squad.

  "Monitor, do you think this will work?" In order to take responsibility for his own life, Lin Feng could only rack his brains for ideas. "Let's split up and act separately, I'll climb up a bit further and try my best to attract the attention of the Japanese army, that way your chances of success will be much higher."

  This approach is feasible, but it will greatly increase Lin Feng's danger.

  If according to Wang Yuzhu's previous plan, Lin Feng went around the Japanese army's position and waited for the action to end. After that, Lin Feng could retreat to the right wing and enter Linqian County, where a regiment of the Central Army was stationed.

  However, if Lin Feng acts according to the current plan, he can only retreat to the left wing. If he wants to return and reunite with his troops, he will have to break through the Japanese army's position alone.

  Once something happens here, the Japanese army will definitely strengthen its guard and seal off this route tightly.

  Wang Yuzhu wasn't worried about himself, because they never planned to retreat by the original route. After blowing up this artillery position, they would advance all the way and launch a desperate attack on the Japanese army's battalion headquarters from both front and rear, meeting at the Japanese battalion headquarters.

  In this way, Lin Feng had to fight alone, without any support or backup, like a lone wolf, surrounded by a large number of Japanese soldiers, and it was almost impossible for him to survive.
