Chapter Fifty-two: Convergence

  Wu Bing and his team left the farmhouse and hid in the 'jade' cornfield at the edge of the village. They kept watch on the farmhouse, and if a small group of reinforcements came, Wu Bing didn't mind annihilating them with his team.

  While waiting for the warplane, a crow beside Wu Bing asked in a low voice: White-headed Eagle, what did you draw on the wall just now?

  The other team members also looked at Wu Bing with a curious face, wanting to know what the painting on the wall drawn by Wu Bing meant.

  Wu Bing looked outside and saw that Xiao Gui Zi had not arrived yet, so he said: Alright, I'll tell you about the meaning of the painting I drew.

  While sizing up the situation outside, he said: The name of the painting I painted is called White Rainbow Piercing the Sun.

  Its origin is said to be during the Warring States period, when the Korean minister Yan Zhuo and the prime minister Han Kui had a grudge against each other. He went to Qi Guo to find Nie Zheng, who was a butcher by trade, to assassinate Han Kui. After Nie Zheng's mother passed away, he repaid Yan Zhuo's kindness by single-handedly entering Han Kui's heavily guarded mansion with his sword and killing him, then disfiguring himself and committing suicide. According to legend, at that time, there was a white rainbow crossing the sun.

  The meaning of this painting is that those who are owed a debt of gratitude must repay it, and those who have been wronged must seek revenge.

  Several people whispered after hearing: We have a feud with the little devils and we must report it.

  Just then, a small squad of R soldiers rushed over from afar. After seeing the corpses of the mobile sentries that had been taken out, they immediately formed a defensive formation and searched towards the three farmhouses.

  Wu Bing saw the little devils quickly finish searching the surroundings and surround the three farmhouses in a circle.

  The officer in charge ordered two soldiers to enter the house to check the situation, and in a moment, the two soldiers rolled out of the door.

  The officer in charge of the R army saw his subordinates like this, just a few big mouths. After 'withdrawing' he asked: What situation was found in the house?

  Seeing the little ghost rolling and crawling out of the door, the bald eagle said with a hateful tone: Damn it, they say that little ghosts kill people without blinking an eye, but isn't it also true that even seeing dead people can scare them so much that their pants are wet?

  Wu Bing said in a low voice: The little devils are also human, they will be scared when they see the dead, but to be precise, they were frightened by their own brainless people.

  Why is the little devil afraid of seeing his own kind without a head?

  Deputy Captain Vulture asked.

  There are two versions of this, one is that the person who 'died' in battle with a big knife chopping off their head can never be reincarnated and can only become a lonely ghost.

  There is another theory that r himself was not beheaded. In the final stage of his self-disembowelment, there was a kaishakunin who beheaded him.

  However, it seems that the lower-level r military personnel still believe in the saying that being beheaded cannot reincarnate. Wu Bing looked at the r military personnel outside who were whispering to each other and said.

  It seems to be verifying Wu Bing's words, and the R army officer who came out of the house immediately ordered the messenger beside him: Report the matter here to the regiment commander immediately, remember to report it to the regiment commander in person.

  The orderly saluted the officer with a "Hi" and turned around to run off into the distance.

  The officer then said to the soldiers on the scene: Don't mention this matter to anyone, otherwise it will be handled by military law.

  Watching the little devil officer give orders to his subordinates, Wu Bing didn't have the heart to watch anymore. He said to a few people beside him: Withdraw! The little devils came with a standard squad of over 70 people. Although we can eliminate them, if we can't end it quickly, we may be defeated here. It's not worth it, retreat.

  Wu Bing finished speaking and retreated into the depths of the cornfield, several team members also followed him and disappeared into the depths of the corn.

  These days, Wu Bing and others have been continuously attacking the enemy's transportation team, scattered personnel and small troops. However, they still haven't found the enemy's artillery position. Wu Bing had no choice but to say to his subordinates: We've been wandering around the front line for three days now. After being bombed by their own artillery fire, the little devils didn't attack our defensive positions again, let alone the enemy's artillery fire. The little devils are constantly increasing troops on the front line, probably accumulating strength for an attack.

  The enemy's patrol density has increased by more than double in the past two days, and we still haven't found the enemy artillery position. My suggestion is that we first withdraw to the vicinity of Duanjin Bridge, which is where we parted ways with other squads. If they don't retreat on their own, after gathering, we'll search for targets nearby to give the devils a big blow, then we'll pull back to our defensive area.

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and the six-man squad headed towards Short Neck Bridge that night. In the dead of night, Wu Bing and a few others rushed to the vicinity of Duanzhu Bridge, near where everyone had parted ways, but when the vanguard's bald eagle suddenly clenched its fists, signaling for everyone to stop.

  Several people quickly went on high alert around them. Wu Bing came to Tu Xi's side and asked, "What situation have you discovered?"

  The deputy captain vulture said: I always feel that someone is pointing a gun at us, and it seems to hear the sound of breathing!

  Wu Bing said to the vulture: I believe your feeling because I have it too. Since we don't feel right, let's retreat from here first and then talk.

  Wu Bing shouted to the team members behind him: The rear team becomes the front team, retreat immediately.

  A few people slowly backed away, just as they were about to quickly retreat. Then, from a distance, came the sound of several cuckoo birds calling out. Wu Bing hastily signaled for everyone to listen and then imitated the cuckoo bird calls towards the distance. Next, they saw someone running over from afar.

  Wu Bing and others stood up, ready for battle.

  It wasn't until they got closer that they saw clearly it was the Silver Ring Snake, the explosive expert of the Snake Team. The Silver Ring Snake saw Wu Bing and others and excitedly said: You guys are here too, I'll call them over first.

  Just then, the silver ring snake rushed to his back and there were several bird calls. More than a dozen figures appeared in the grass, behind trees, and on trees, rushing towards Wu Bing. When more than a dozen people arrived nearby, Wu Bing saw that several people had injuries, and some were missing. The injured people included those from the Snake Team and Wolf Team.

  But the least popular is the snake team.

  At that time, Wu Bing's eyebrows furrowed and he asked the seven-step snake in front of him: What's going on? Where are the other members of your Snake Team?

  The people of the snake team lowered their heads one after another. Wu Bing asked urgently: "What's going on, speak quickly."

  Seven Steps Snake said: We launched a surprise attack on an enemy's heavily guarded arsenal, but during the retreat, we exposed our weakness to the enemy. In the intense battle with the R army, five people died in action. If the arsenal hadn't exploded eventually, maybe several more would have fallen inside. A total of seven people broke through the encirclement. Viper Snake was seriously injured and Flying Snake is taking care of him now.

  Wu Bing said: Didn't I tell you? If it's not necessary, don't take the risk. And repeatedly reminded you to pay attention to details, but you just ignored my words.

  He then asked: Since the arsenal was heavily guarded, why attack it?

  After parting with you, we discovered the transport vehicles of the R army. A few of us followed behind and finally found that arsenal. At first, we thought the defense of the arsenal was too tight and wanted to give up, but just as we were about to retreat, an enemy transport team

  What caught our attention was that all the soldiers unloading the supplies were wearing protective suits and gas masks.

  According to the situation, we unanimously believe that this is a poisonous gas unit of the devils. You also said that the devils' use of poison gas against our front-line troops would be very harmful, so we decided to raid this arsenal. We successfully 'mixed' into the arsenal and laid timed explosives, unexpectedly

  During the retreat, Mang was scolded by a Japanese officer for being improperly dressed. Mang then revealed his true identity and we ended up fighting them. Later, Mang sacrificed himself to cover our retreat.

  Wu Bing patted the shoulder of Qi Bu Xue and comforted him, "You guys did the right thing. If I were you, I would have gone too. My attitude was not good just now, don't mind it."
