Chapter 4 Annihilating the Enemy in the Village

  "Bang!"

  The first to take action were the snipers who were walking at the back. They knelt on one knee and pulled the trigger in the first moment, and the long sniper rifle bullets came out of the barrel, whizzing over tens of meters, piercing the chests of four Japanese devils, bursting into a bloody fog!

  Four Japanese devils, who were chasing villagers with bayonets, suddenly stiffened, their faces frozen in perpetual confusion, dropped the Type 38 rifles in their hands, and fell to the ground!

  "Kill him!"

  As the sniper rifle fired, four warriors from the assault team also emerged from behind the trees, their 95 improved assault rifles spewing out angry flames. Several Japanese soldiers were caught off guard, and in an instant, their bodies were riddled with holes, collapsing to the ground like broken cloth, powerless. Compared to the powerful firepower of the 95 improved automatic rifle, their bodies were fragile and couldn't withstand a single blow.

  Luo Xiang quietly reached the edge of the village without making a sound, and he nimbly climbed over the low wall at the edge of the village. As soon as he landed, he was beside a Japanese soldier who was holding a rifle and shooting at fleeing villagers. The 95 assault rifle swung up, and the hard alloy steel buttstock heavily struck the opponent's temple, sending him rolling out for dozens of feet!

  Without looking at the Japanese man who was already bleeding profusely from his seven orifices and had fallen into a coma, Luo Xiang lifted one foot and kicked another charging Japanese soldier flying, slamming him against the door panel of the thatched hut on the side!

  "Whoa——!!"

  With a flick of his arm, a five-inch steel needle shot out from his hand and pierced the Japanese soldier's eyebrow, entering through the door edge where he had kicked him. The needle tip protruded from the back of the soldier's head under his powerful force and was nailed into the wooden door more than an inch deep!

  "Bang, bang" rang out in succession. Several Japanese soldiers discovered Luo Xiang. Someone turned the muzzle of their gun towards him and fired. Bullets whizzed past his ears, sending brick fragments flying everywhere!

  Luo Xiang rolled over on the ground, flashed behind a half-section of earth wall, and then rushed out from the other side of the low wall. The automatic rifle in his hand fired continuously, and the Japanese soldier opposite him shot blood arrows in front of his chest and fell backwards!

  At this time, the assault team had also crossed the low wall and occupied the firepower points on the main street in the village. Under the coordination of snipers and machine gunners hiding on the earth slope outside the village, they sealed off all parts of the village. Any Japanese soldier who dared to show his head was either shot by a sniper rifle or fell under the assault rifle, or was shot into a sieve by a machine gun!

  The devils were caught off guard, they originally thought they could easily kill these unarmed and defenseless villagers, but unexpectedly a team of powerful firepower and extremely high combat literacy enemies suddenly emerged, under the opponent's fierce attack, their own casualties were heavy, and they had to retreat!

  Soon, the remaining Japanese soldiers were suppressed in a courtyard on the west side of the village, taking advantage of the terrain to fight desperately and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

  "Snipers and firepower teams lock down the high ground, assault team and infiltration team follow me to sweep the courtyard, not a single one is allowed to escape!" Luo Xiang gave the order as soon as he saw that his side had taken control of the situation.

  The infiltration team, which had already reached the edge of the village, suddenly jumped up and coordinated with the assault team, charging towards the courtyard in the west of the village from both sides, wanting to take advantage of their victory to pursue and annihilate the Japanese devils inside!

  Gunfire burst out like a string of firecrackers, the devils took advantage of the wall's advantage and fought to the death, the assault team charged twice but failed to break through the enemy's blockade, and instead one person was lightly injured!

  "Infiltrate in a roundabout way!" Seeing that the strong attack didn't work, Luo Xiang decisively changed tactics and switched to the infiltration team!

  The infiltration team crept forward, using the houses of the surrounding residents as cover, quietly approaching the courtyard occupied by the Japanese devils. They inched closer and closer to the devils, waiting for them to enter the effective range of attack, ready to deliver a fatal blow!

  Luo Xiang replaced a new magazine, then carried the automatic rifle and ran to the house closest to the devils' den on the west side of the village. This was the place closest to the devils. When the infiltration team launched an attack later, they could effectively coordinate with their actions!

  The yard is very spacious, but the house is ordinary, all are low and humble thatched cottages, windows pasted with grass paper, at this time the window is half closed, no lights on inside, pitch black!

  He pricked up his ears and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a faint breathing sound in the house, although it had been deliberately suppressed, but still couldn't escape his exceptionally sensitive ears!

  He stepped up to the door, Luo Xiang looked around and found that the house was very small. If a fight broke out, the assault rifle would be too long to wield effectively. So he pulled out the triangular bayonet from his leg scabbard!

  The triangular bayonet with Chinese characteristics was a notorious military weapon in the world at that time, and its reputation for killing with one knife was absolutely a nightmare for any enemy. Luo Xiang had used so many kinds of military knives and found that the bayonet was still the most enjoyable to use!

  He reached out and gently pushed open the door, and in the creaking sound of the crooked wooden door, the darkness inside rushed forward.

  Luo Xiang hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside the house. As soon as his foot crossed the threshold, a dark shadow flashed in the darkness, followed by a fierce gust of cold wind that struck him right on the head!

  Without panic or haste, Luo Xiang's right hand turned over, and the bayonet held upside down against his arm flipped upwards, blocking the opponent's incoming weapon. He still had confidence in his own strength!

  But it turned out he made an empiricist mistake this time!

  "——At that time——!"

  The weapon that came out of the darkness collided heavily with Luo Xiao's military dagger, and the intense collision even sparked a string of sparks between them. Luo Xiao felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer on his arm, and the numbness made half of his body go limp. A huge force sent him tumbling backward, and his heel kicked against the threshold!

  With a "thud", Luo Xiang fell out of the house with an exaggerated posture, causing the special forces soldier who was closely watching him through a sniper scope on the nearby slope to almost pop his eyes out!

  All these years, no one has ever made Captain Luo Xiang so helpless before?

  "You little devils, I'll fight you all!"

  Luo Xiang hadn't even gotten up from the ground when a girl in blue clothes rushed out of the house, holding an iron hammer and shouting while swinging it at his head!

  No time to think, Luo Xiang's body rolled on the ground, dodging the opponent's hammer, then bounced up and retreated backwards, quickly pulling away from the opponent. He shouted, "Miss, don't fight, we're not Japanese!"

  The big hammer smashed to the ground, smashing a large pit on the hard ground that had been compacted. The girl immediately raised the big hammer again, and only then did she clearly hear him speaking Chinese. The high-flying big hammer didn't fall, and with a suspicious look, he sized up the strangely dressed man in front of him, seemingly still not dispelling his doubts.

  "What kind of person are you, how did you end up here!" The girl carefully examined Luo Xiang, seeing that he was wearing a colorful outfit, if he were to go into the fields it would be hard to tell him apart from the crops. His face was painted with red and green stripes, only his piercing eyes could be seen clearly. Behind him, he had a strange-looking rifle slung over his back, and in his hand, he held an iron truncheon with three prongs!

  The triangular bayonet in her eyes had become an iron ruler!

  "Miss, don't misunderstand, we are Chinese. Those Japanese were killed by us." Luo Xiang hastily explained, while giving a hand signal to the snipers on the mound outside the village, telling them not to shoot, so as not to accidentally harm the girl.

  "What are you doing, aren't you in cahoots with the devils?" The girl eyed Luo Xiang for a long time, seeing him smile and put away his bayonet, seemingly without malicious intent towards her, so her hostility slightly decreased.

  "My name is Luo Xiang, I'm the captain of the Tiger Tooth Special Warfare Battalion. I came to investigate because we received a tip, but I didn't expect to find Japanese people killing others, so I fought them!" Luo Xiang explained his intentions, then looked around the girl's surroundings, "Where are your parents?"

  The girl asked him and burst into tears, "Dead, all killed by those little devils!"

  Luo Xiang was silent, he had already discovered that there were only a few villagers left alive in the village. If it weren't for him bringing people to rush over, I'm afraid that not even one person would have been left alive!

  At this moment, a sharp whistling sound rose in the sky above their heads, and Luo Xiang's face changed suddenly as he was familiar with the characteristics of various calibers of artillery fire, "It's the sound of howitzer shells flying over!"

  Just a brief pause, several kilometers behind Luo Xiang and the others, explosions erupted one after another, flames illuminated half of the sky, like a sunset cloud on fire!

  Luo Xiang rushed out of the courtyard, cocked his ear to listen, and found that the gunfire in the north had become a piece, but most of them were the Japanese soldiers' Type 38 Arisaka rifles, with very few other gunshots. It seemed that the battle was one-sided!

  "The situation is urgent and these devils must be eliminated immediately. Let's go take a look!" Luo Xiang thought to himself.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire came from outside the village on their right side, bullets flying by like a storm, one even grazing Luo Xiao's temple and making him break out in a cold sweat!

  "Bad, the devils' reinforcements have arrived!" Luo Xiang turned his head to look back and found that on the slope outside the village, the crops were swaying, and Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms, carrying rifles and shouting, rushed out. Several Type 92 machine guns were also set up on the ridges of the fields, firing wildly at them!

  Luo Xuan's mind was racing as he calculated his opponent's speed, then gritted his teeth and shouted to the infiltration team, "Act!"

  Upon receiving the order, the infiltration team, which had already reached the outer wall of the courtyard, jumped up from the ground, pulled out the fuse of the hand grenade in their hands and threw it into the courtyard!

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

  The yard was filled with the sound of explosions, accompanied by flying helmets of Japanese soldiers, half rifles, and severed limbs.

  Luo Xiangjian rushed out, taking advantage of the opportunity that the devils in the courtyard were temporarily stunned by the explosion. He flipped over from the gap blown out of the wall and landed on the ground, firing two shots from his submachine gun!

  There were originally only three devils left alive in the courtyard, except for one lieutenant who was holding a command knife and panting heavily, the other two devils fell under Luo Xiang's shooting.

  "Ah!"

  Luo Xiang jumped into the courtyard and was immediately discovered by Lieutenant He Nei, who let out a loud roar, raised his sword and rushed towards Luo Xiang with a desperate stance.

  A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Luo Xiang's three-edged military spear was drawn in his hand, charging towards Captain Hone. As the two men brushed past each other, he ducked under Hone's war knife, and the three-edged military spear stabbed deeply into Hone's chest before being pulled out with a flick of his wrist.

  The two men passed each other back to back, and Lieutenant Hwang's body shook violently as he clutched his hand over the wound that was spouting blood wildly, before falling heavily to the ground!
