Chapter Thirteen: Night Raid

  The success or failure of this operation is more crucial than He Linfeng's safety.

  If the Dare to Die Corps' operation is successful and the Decisive Death Corps can also launch a scheduled attack on the Japanese army's central battalion, then this battle will be enough to severely damage the Japanese battalion. This way, the Security Regiment will make a big splash, with the strength of an enhanced company, heavily defeating two Japanese battalions. This achievement is enough to make all participating generals and soldiers proud in the National Army ranks; but if this operation fails, tomorrow's Luhe position may face its most difficult moment, or even its final moment.

  Wang Yuzhu was silent for a moment, finding it difficult to make this decision.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second.

  More than half an hour later, Lin Feng still didn't see Wang Yuzhu make a statement, so he said: "Class leader, time is running out, have you made a decision?"

  "He said, 'That would be very dangerous for you.'"

  Lin Feng said solemnly: "When a soldier eats the nation's grain, he must fight for it. At this critical moment of national crisis, to die for one's country is an honor for a man!"

  Lin Feng only now realized that his face was so thick-skinned, saying words that didn't come from the heart without even blushing.

  Lin Feng said so, Wang Yuzhu found it harder to make a decision: "Lin Feng, you are a good soldier material, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Now that the country is invaded, it's exactly when we need soldiers like you to fight back, you have to come back alive!"

  Lin Feng felt very depressed.

  He had originally planned to go up and fire a couple of shots randomly, then run away, take off his military uniform, and run back to his own den in Huaiyin Town. Whoever wants to go fight the war can go, I'd rather save my life.

  But what Lin Feng did not expect was that Wang Yuzhu actually cared about his life and death, it seemed that he disagreed with this plan.

  "Don't worry, squad leader, I've got a plan. If those Japanese want to play games, I'll play them to death! Just let me go!"

  In order to save his own skin, Lin Feng had no choice but to blow things out of proportion.

  Lin Feng thought it was simple: if I couldn't beat him in a fight, could I outrun him?

  But Wang Yuzhu didn't think so, still feeling that it was too dangerous. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "I'll go instead, you stay here and follow the team's actions!"

  "This..."

  Lin Feng was stunned.

  Wang Yuzhu gathered his team members and held a pre-war meeting, arranged the plan, and handed over the command to an old soldier.

  Afterwards, Wang Yuzhu again instructed Lin Feng a few words, then turned around and headed up the mountain slope...

  Lin Feng watched Wang Yuzhu's gradually disappearing back, still not giving up, and said to the old soldier who had just taken over the command: "It's too dangerous for Captain Wang to go alone, I'll go with him, can take care of him."

  Lin Feng finished speaking and didn't care about the old soldier's reaction, he picked up his own Hanyang rifle and left.

  At one o'clock in the morning, three consecutive shots were fired.

  Because tonight's operation is too important, no one in the company has gone to rest, gathering at the company headquarters waiting for news from the front.

  The commando team is a small unit action, easy to hide, and it should not be a problem to sneak into the Japanese artillery position under the cover of night.

  Sanlang didn't care about this aspect, what he was worried about was the suicidal squad.

  The Decisive Corps has more people and bigger goals, so it's easier to expose itself. To bypass the Japanese army's frontline infantry positions and reach the designated location, the risk is much greater.

  As the time for action draws near, Squadron Leader always feels uneasy in his heart.

  Since it's hard to feel at ease in his heart, the company commander decided not to wait for death here, so he shouted: "Communications officer, pass on my order, except for the bandaging team, move the company forward to the front line position, prepare the reserve team and all company personnel with sufficient ammunition, prepare for battle!"

  This is the only thing that Sanlian Chang can do now, hoping that this plan will be implemented smoothly. If something unexpected happens, he can only lead the soldiers who stayed in the Luhe River array to launch a charge against the Japanese army's position, in order to tie up the Japanese troops and cover the withdrawal of the suicide squad.

  The dark night sky, vast plains.

  A team was moving stealthily along the narrow path between the fields, where unknown insects were chirping in the fields, "Gugu... zizi...", very pleasant to hear. The corn seedlings in the field had grown more than one person high, becoming a natural cover for this team, while also blocking their line of sight.

  At the very front of the team, the captain of the death squad raised his hand and made a gesture to stop advancing.

  The team stopped advancing.

  "The map," said the captain of the suicide squad in a low voice.

  A soldier next to him hastily pulled out a map from his pocket and spread it on the ground in front of the captain.

  The captain of the death squad took out a small flashlight and carefully examined the map for a while.

  According to the direction and time of the march, the vanguard should be approaching the Japanese army's central unit soon. However, the scouts sent out have not yet returned with a report, so the commander of the vanguard needs to reconfirm whether there is any deviation in the route of the march.

  He took out a compass, fiddled with it for a moment, and found that the direction was correct. The captain of the death squad made a decisive decision to send two people to scout ahead.

  The scouts sent out didn't take long to return, and with them came back the vanguard that had been sent out earlier.

  Scouts reported that about one li ahead was the Japanese army's battalion headquarters, with strict security and difficulty approaching, unclear of the personnel deployment and firepower configuration inside.

  1:55, Japanese artillery positions.

  Wang Yuzhu hid in a thicket of shrubs on the slope, carefully observing from a commanding height.

  No sentry was discovered ahead, but a small patrol of soldiers would pass by the edge of the position every five minutes, and here is slightly far from the Japanese artillery position, which is not conducive to launching an attack.

  The time had come, and the Japanese patrol team indeed walked over on schedule.

  Wang Yuzhu aimed at a patrolling soldier and pulled the trigger decisively...

  A crisp gunshot rang out, shattering the pre-dawn calm, and the patrolling soldier fell to the ground with a thud.

  The Japanese patrol team was immediately in a state of great disorder, and they hastily removed the rifles slung over their shoulders, shouting "Wah lah lah" in a chaotic manner...

  Wang Yuzhu saw that someone in the patrol team pointed at his location and quickly hid behind a rock...

  "Rat-a-tat-tat!" A burst of gunfire came over, shooting sparks flying everywhere around Wang Yuzhu, which were bullets ricocheting off the rocks...

  The sentry on duty had just finished eating chicken and was dozing off around the fire when he suddenly stood up...

  The tent flap with the light on was lifted, and a Japanese military officer came out, shouting loudly about what had happened...

  At the same time, a large number of soldiers wearing only their underwear emerged from two tents with guns and gathered around the Japanese military officer.

  The Japanese army's reaction was indeed very swift.

  As for Lin Feng, he didn't actually go find Wang Yuzhu, but instead climbed a section of the mountain slope and then turned westward, by which point he was already a mile away from the battlefield.

  When the gunshot rang out, Lin Feng's heart suddenly trembled, his footsteps involuntarily paused for a moment, and he tightened his grip on the Hanyang rifle in his hand.

  "Damn it, what's wrong with me? I've already made up my mind to go home, so why am I having this reaction?"

  Lin Feng secretly scolded himself for being indecisive, but in his heart there was a kind of longing and a worry.

  Lin Feng didn't know what was wrong with him. Only now did he discover that as long as he heard the sound of gunfire, he would get excited and produce a desire to fight.

  Especially now that Wang Yuzhu is still on the battlefield, Lin Feng cannot bear to abandon the person who has saved his life several times.

  Go back or not go back?

  Lin Feng is now very conflicted in his heart.

  Battlefield.

  The Japanese patrol team's bullets were very dense, and Wang Yuzhu was still afraid that the movement would be too small to attract all of the Japanese attention, but there was no way to expose himself, so he took out a hand grenade, unscrewed the cap, pulled the string, and threw it over the stone...

  A loud rumble...

  This is quite a stir!

  As expected, this movement was loud enough to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

  The Japanese army is rushing over here under the command of an officer...

  The attention of the Japanese army was drawn away, and the dare-to-die corps took advantage of the situation to act, rushing out quickly from their hiding place, pouncing on the four Type 92 infantry guns placed in the open space like a fierce tiger.

  The small number of Japanese troops left behind immediately reacted and raised their guns...

  "Rat-a-tat-tat" a burst of gunfire, the dare-to-die corps was well-prepared for battle and fired first...

  Several Japanese soldiers were killed and the rest hastily sought cover...

  Wang Yuzhu's pressure was the greatest, suppressed by a large number of Japanese troops behind the rocks, not even able to observe the situation...

  The dare-to-die corps fired their guns while rapidly approaching the four 92 infantry cannons...

  Some Japanese soldiers suddenly rushed out of their shelters and charged towards the machine gun position...

  "Whooshing" sounds of several hand grenades flew out, directly flying towards the machine gun position...

  The Japanese soldiers rushing towards the machine gun position were still in mid-air and had no way to dodge, letting out a scream of extreme terror...

  "Boom, boom, boom!" A series of loud explosions, the hand grenades exploded in the machine gun nest, blowing up the machine gun nest along with the Japanese soldier who had just rushed in, turning them into a bloody pulp...

  The Japanese officer who was leading his troops to rush towards Wang Yuzhu's hiding place heard the unusually intense gunfire and grenade explosions on the battlefield, and immediately realized he had been deceived, hastily ordering his troops to retreat...

  The dare-to-die squad rushed to the front of the infantry gun, and four members stood at the mouth of the cannon, simultaneously throwing hand grenades with pulled strings into the barrel...

  The rest of the team scattered and rushed towards the tents...

  The Japanese garrison personnel fought to the death, but unfortunately they were caught off guard and had to respond hastily. Moreover, the artillery themselves were not as good at close combat as the infantry, let alone a night battle, and it was really a case of having the will but lacking the strength...

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four dull explosions, the 92 infantry guns were all blown up, and the deformed gun barrels and other parts flew into the sky...

  The Japanese army came to reinforce, and Wang Yuzhu's pressure was suddenly reduced, and he hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity to transfer...

  A burst of intense gunfire came over, and two dare-to-die corps members were immediately riddled with bullets...

  The Japanese army's relief troops have arrived...

  The action of the dare-to-die corps has reached this point, and all four infantry guns of the Japanese army have been blown up. The task is already accomplished, and they can withdraw, but the Japanese side will not let them go away with victory...

  All four infantry guns were blown up, the Japanese officer was so angry that he almost vomited blood, his eyes were red, and he commanded the troops to charge towards the dare-to-die squad crazily, vowing to annihilate this group of reckless guys...

  The battle entered a stalemate, and the dare-to-die corps was bitten by the Japanese army, and there was no way to retreat...
