Chapter 35: Autumn Forest Clears Up (1)

  The sunlight at noon shone on the edge of a small forest, and the mist rising from it was covered with a layer of bright white. From a distance, it looked like a apron wrapped around the forest. In this clear sunlight, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared, and gradually, people in the town could see them clearly. It was a team of over 30 people, lined up in two neat columns, quickly heading towards Shifang Town.

  "Password!"

  "Long live the martial arts!" "One lineage for all eternity!"

  "Geez, you guys arrived pretty quickly! But there are too few of you, these Chinese soldiers aren't easy to deal with!"

  "It doesn't matter, I've brought a lot of first-class marksmen, they're also very formidable, just watch!"

  The Japanese troops who came to support and the Japanese troops at the Shibatajuku base exchanged words in Japanese, and the roadblocks between the three pillboxes in front of Shibatajuku were opened one after another. The captain of the supporting squad led his team to meet with the commander here, a Japanese lieutenant.

  They soon arrived in the town. The captain of the support team, who was only a sergeant, saluted the commander here and said: "Our team has brought several shooters, they can be arranged in more important places. Please tell me the location, Lieutenant, and I will assign personnel."

  "Ah, you've arrived just in time! The town's defense force is down to only a dozen or so people, and we'll need at least a first-class shooter up front. These Chinese who came today are quite skilled with their guns. Perhaps only a first-class or special-class shooter can take them on."

  "Alright! I'll dispatch some men to the front." The sergeant of the supporting squad nodded heavily and waved his hand to gather the troops he brought.

  "Wait a minute!" The lieutenant suddenly stopped the sergeant, "Excuse me, where are you from? Your accent is very strange."

  "My hometown is in a rural area near Qingtian Strait, in the distant north."

  "Isn't it closer to Sapporo?"

  "No, it's closer to the Hanlin Academy."

  "Oh, then I'm relieved."

  "What?"

  "It's nothing, you've arranged it, I'll let the soldiers in town take them there."

  "It's all right. They're all excellent, it doesn't matter where they go." Wang Lie said. Their Japanese was not yet proficient. Fortunately, he had asked Tofu about the accent before. Tofu answered in great detail, and Wang Lie even asked about the geographical location of some famous cities. All of which came in handy today. This fake relief army, only Wang Lie dared to speak up, but in the rigidly hierarchical Japanese military, this was considered normal.

  The personnel assigned to various positions to "support" the devils quickly dispersed with the devils who led the way. Wang Lie's deployment of personnel seemed very casual, but in fact, he was grasping the principle of more inside the town and less outside. The devil lieutenant saw this point and said with satisfaction: "Oh, you've allocated well, there are fewer soldiers in the town, they've all gone out, aren't we just a few lieutenants and sergeants?"

  "Haha! Aren't we three people accompanying you?" Yu Fei suddenly spoke up, his words were authentic southern-accented Mandarin. The Japanese lieutenant was shocked, seeing the two men standing on either side of him, and another one in front of him, delicate and refined, not looking like a man at all, with a slender figure that was 100% female. Just as he was about to loudly interrogate them, Wang Lie and Yu Fei on either side didn't give him the chance, each stabbing a dagger into his body simultaneously. The Japanese lieutenant felt a chill spreading through his liver and throat, and all he could do was force his eyes wide open, unwillingly falling to the ground.

  "Ahhh……" A long, drawn-out shriek came out of the mouth of that delicate and tender fake devil. Don't worry, this was pre-arranged. Using a shriek as a signal, the devils on the periphery wouldn't be suspicious. Because it was necessary for battle, Lin Yurui shouted especially loudly. The sound stopped, but Wang Lie and You Fei's ears were still ringing from being too close.

  In fact, the devils in the bunker heard this scream and burst out laughing. Their hearts, which had been battered by the fierce winds, were still able to derive a hint of satisfaction from their fantasies of their fellow townsmen playing with Chinese women...

  The screams and the oni's laughter covered up some of the fierce winds' unintentionally made sounds.

  In Zhifangpu Town, more than 100 devils were deployed. Among them, there were more than 40 devils distributed in the six blockhouses on the east side of the town. Originally, there were more than 40 devils in the town. After a battle, only about ten were left. In the two blockhouses on the west side, each had 20 devils.

  Under Lin Yuru's sonic protection, more than a dozen devils who guided the fierce wind were suddenly killed by various cold weapons from all sides. Now, what blocked the fierce wind was the two fortresses of Zhenxi. However, the fierce wind would not be so easily satisfied, they would not pass through the town so easily, they still had to make some arrangements.

  In the command post of the devils, after finishing off a confused communication soldier, Wang Lie picked up the phone. "Pass on the urgent order from above, today's password has been changed to: Wind is tight and waves are surging, remember it well."

  "Ah-ha!"

  Wang Lie fiddled with the phone for half a day, until he accidentally dialed the first number again, and only then did he give up. All the Japanese troops in the ten directions of Puzhou should have been notified by now!

  At this time, the bodies of the devils in the town were also placed in a suitable position. Why bother to arrange them? To make the thunderbolt more powerful! The devils who came to collect the bodies would not have a good outcome, would they dare to collect the bodies again?

  All kinds of tricks, Wang Lie and You Fei have used them all, without any psychological barriers. They are even afraid that they will be too kind to the devils. Now, for the two blockhouses on the west side of the town, the two people are competing again.

  "We still have a small cannon that the devils just gave us, let's use it! We don't need to fight desperately anymore. These two fortresses, each one should have about twenty devils inside. Look, this is the defense map!" Wang Lie handed over a piece of paper.

  Even if someone doesn't understand Japanese, they can still make out this simple defense diagram with the Chinese characters. Youyun looked it over and said: "If we don't stir up some trouble this time, it seems like it's not going to be possible. But a completely long-distance attack is probably too much of a waste of time. What if the devils in front of the town come to support them? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

  "Let the dagger and artillery attack together, that's not okay. Don't look at this small cannon, those who are familiar with it, we don't have one here yet. If you hit slightly inaccurately, it would be a misfire." Wang Lie said.

  "I didn't mean it that way. I'm saying we can get rid of this little cannon, and just do it like this..."

  "Heh heh! Actually, burying the cannon and finding an opportunity to retrieve it later is a good idea. However, doing so would indeed be more convenient."

  "Damn it! What's the use of this broken cannon? Come on, let's go!" You Fei said casually.

  The two people gradually changed from arguing to whispering. After a while, only Wang Lie was heard saying: "Hey! Let's just leave it at that!"

  The fierce wind squad gathered together. Wang Lie simply arranged it, and all the personnel were divided into two groups. They walked between the two artillery towers under Wang Lie's leadership. Then, a group consisting of most people went to the right artillery tower, while Wang Lie shouted loudly and took three people with him, carrying that small cannon to the left artillery tower.

  The devils asked casually after hearing Wang Lie's shout "Gentlemen, we have come to support you": "What is the password?"

  "The wind is strong and the waves are swift." "The angry billows surge up."

  "Oh! We haven't seen any Chinese people here, why should we still support you. You'd better go to the east of the town." The Japanese soldier said suspiciously.

  Wang Lie calmly and loudly replied, "Someone has already gone ahead. Most of the remaining people have been arranged by Lieutenant to support the right side, but I've brought you cannons and shells. With that, the western town should be quite solid."

  "Wow! That idiom should be called 'as solid as gold'!"

  "Haha! That's right!" Wang Lie replied, while cursing in his heart: This damn little devil, learned our Chinese idioms and even taught me back. I'll show you the consequences of being disobedient soon.

  Wang Lie and the other three moved the small cannon and shells into the bunker, and the devils inside immediately wrinkled their noses. They smelled a strong smell of gasoline.

  Ignoring the ugly faces of the devils, Wang Lie and his men put their things next to a pile of ammunition boxes and immediately jumped into the trenches outside the bunker with their men. The two devils in the trench were startled and asked stupidly: "What are you doing?"

  A warrior near the bunker raised his hand and fired three shots with a handgun, and the gasoline poured into the small cannon ignited. The gun barrel, which had previously been soaked in gasoline, as well as the wooden shell box, also caught fire.

  King Lie's emotions were urgent, and he still shouted in Japanese: "Get down!"

  Needless to say, the four of them crawled to the bottom of the trench and didn't dare move. The two Japanese devils suddenly heard a loud shout in Japanese and also reflexively lay down beside Wang Lie. However, their movement was too fast, the tunnel was narrow, and the direction they crawled down wasn't quite right, so their buttocks had no choice but to stick up high.

  "Boom!" The shell in the barrel was detonated by intense combustion. "Boom boom!" Following closely were even more violent explosions from the ammunition box, as well as a string of unknown explosions. Occasionally, bullets that had been ignited by flames shot out wildly in all directions, making whizzing sounds.

  At the moment of the explosion, half of the bunker was blown up. Immediately afterwards, in an even more intense explosion, the upper layer of soil on the moat outside the bunker was also blasted away. The scattered earth and rocks fell from the sky, burying the four members of the Stormtrooper squad and two devils in the trench.

  The devils on the bunker were the first to board the earth plane, and the devils who tried to put out the fire may have died even earlier. The limbs of the devils that ran out were soon mixed together. The luckiest devils were still the two who listened to Wang Lie's words and crawled at the bottom of the trench. They were almost unscathed, except for a few holes on their high buttocks...

  These two lucky devils first drilled out of the floating soil, saw that the fort had flown away, and exclaimed in surprise. Then they saw Wang Lie drilling out of the ground. It was this man who shouted a Japanese phrase and crawled down, which saved their lives. One devil said, "Thank you!"

  "Huh?" Wang Lie shook his head, indicating that he couldn't hear. The explosion was too loud just now, and the ears of the survivors were still ringing. Another devil covered his butt and shouted loudly: "Thank you!"

  "Ah!" Wang Lie nodded with a smile, and the two devils behind him had already been approached by soldiers. Sharp daggers were stretched out in front of the necks of the two surviving devils, and with a swift slash, blood spurted out and stained Wang Lie's body, which was covered in dirt. Wang Lie wiped his face with his hand, and instantly became a multicolored figure with yellow, red, and brown hues. The large amount of blood had transformed him into this strange appearance, and he grinned at the three soldiers who crawled out of the soil, looking exactly like an evil spirit that had just emerged from hell.

  "Captain, I don't know how the bunker on the other side is doing."

  Although he heard the warrior next to him speaking, Wang Lie's ears were still ringing and felt as if the voice was drifting over from a very distant place.
