Chapter 6: Crazy Revenge

  "Pah! I don't know! Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!" The old village chief spat a wad of phlegm onto Da Huang Ya's face, his eyes bulging with rage as he glared at him. If looks could kill, Da Huang Ya would have been dead seventeen or eighteen times already.

  "You dare to hit me! I'll let you hit! Let you hit!", Da Huangya was furious, he wiped the snot off his face with one hand and slapped the old village chief with the other. Then it was a flurry of curses and blows, poor old village chief, over sixty years old, couldn't withstand his heavy hands, and was knocked unconscious in just a few hits.

  "Is anyone willing to tell where the Eighth Route Army is? The imperial army will reward you!", Da Huang Ya looked at the surrounding villagers again, and at this time, the villagers were burning with anger in their hearts. They would not respond to Da Huang Ya's words, just as the old village chief said, even if they knew, they would not tell the devils.

  "Are you going to say it or not?", at this time, the squad leader of the devils couldn't help but glare with his beady eyes, sneaking a glance at the villager in front of him.

  "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, so stop dreaming, you little devils!" Villager Byoung Moon shouted in a loud voice, unable to hold back his anger.

  "Haha! Alright, let's die then!" he said with a wave of his hand. Just as his hand fell, the machine gun behind him went off, and several villagers including Byoung-wool fell under the enemy's gunfire. The scene was thrown into chaos in an instant.

  "The little devils won't let us go, let's fight them!" someone shouted. Under the brutal acts of the devils, the villagers who were already emotionally agitated rushed towards the devils and clashed with them.

  The devil's machine gun sounded again, "the sound of 'da da da' was like a demon swallowing the lives of the villagers of Yangtou Village". Although some villagers were entangled with the devils, after all, they were just unarmed villagers, and compared to regular soldiers, they were too weak. Nevertheless, several devil soldiers were killed by the brave villagers, but the price we paid was heavy. The entire Yangtou Village, except for a few children who were hidden away by adults when the devils entered the village and thus escaped unharmed, all the other villagers perished. A few children were taken away by the guerrilla team after they received news and went to Yangtou Village to investigate.

  Not long after the devils finished their brutal acts, Li Xinnian also received this intelligence. After listening to the soldiers' report, Li Xinnian couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He muttered in a low voice, "Don't worry, fellow villagers! Your blood will not be shed in vain. I will definitely avenge you."

  "Tell Old Zhang they're here for a meeting! Now!" Li Xinmin's heart was already burning with raging anger at this moment, "Damn little devil!".

  "Yes!" Guard Li Shilong quickly ran out to find Huang Yuke and the others, who were currently in training. After this battle, the soldiers had taken a big step forward, and their combat effectiveness had also been strengthened.

  "Zhang Pai Zhang! The battalion commander wants you to go back and have a meeting!", Li Shen Long found Zhang Daquan who was in the middle of training, "What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Daquan asked while looking at Li Shen Long with urgency.

  "Something big has happened, and even the battalion commander is furious. He's waiting for you to return for a meeting! I still need to go inform Huang Pai Zhang and the others, you quickly go find Battalion Commander Liu!" Li Chen Long said as he hastily ran off again to find Huang Yu Kai and Liu Wen Tao.

  "Company Commander!", "Company Commander!" "What's wrong, Company Commander?" Several people looked at Li Xinmin anxiously.

  "Just received intelligence, the devils slaughtered Yangtao Village at dawn today, the whole village was killed except for a few children, it is said that before their death, the villagers had an intense conflict with the devils, but..."

  "These damned bastards!", "The little devils dare to attack us! What kind of ability is it to kill unarmed civilians?" Liu Wentao and Huang Yucai immediately flared up with anger upon hearing the news, and began cursing the little devils.

  "These bastards! If we don't give them a hard time, they'll think we're all pushovers!"

  "I have decided to launch a counterattack against the little devils starting from today! Anyone related to the little devils can be our target of attack." Li Xinmin said in a gloomy tone.

  "Commander! What's the plan?" Huang Yuke, Liu Wentao and Zhang Daweiquan all looked at Li Xinmin, waiting for him to assign combat tasks.

  "I have decided to launch a full-scale attack, raiding and disrupting the main forces of the enemy, annihilating all small forces!"

  "Yes!", "You go back and do some work! We will withdraw from Yang Village today and start the counterattack.", "Yes!" Huang Yukei and others turned around and immediately went to prepare, Li Xinmin also sent someone to find Village Chief Guang Fa.

  "Guang Fa Shu! You must have known about the Yang Tao Village incident! After we withdraw, you must strengthen your vigilance, add more sentry posts, and be careful of the devils' revenge. When the devils come, you retreat to the mountains."

  "Alright, Gao Da Bao! Have your men keep an eye on the enemy's sniper in the artillery tower. If he sticks his head out, take him down!" Li Xinmin ordered Gao Da Bao from a hidden point outside one of the enemy's strongholds. During this period of training, several special warfare team members' combat effectiveness had increased significantly, and under Li Xinmin's guidance, they had learned many new skills.

  "Don't worry, Commander! I won't let you down. The devils in the artillery tower are mine to deal with!" said Ge Bin, a special forces soldier. It was he who had shot and killed the devil's company commander, Fujiwara Shōichi, in the last battle. Li Xinmin had specially awarded him Fujiwara's pistol as a prize, and also gave him two boxes of Japanese canned beef as an extra reward.

  "Alright! You kids keep a close eye on things, if any of our brothers get hurt by those devils in the watchtower, I'll come after you!" Li Xinmin said with a pat on Gao Dabao's shoulder.

  Just as Gao Dabao and others were looking for a strong position, Li Xinmin ordered Huang Yuke and others to complete their tasks. Then everyone rushed towards the enemy's artillery tower under Li Xinmin's command. This battle was different from the last one. This time Li Xinmin's team was fully equipped, completely taking down the enemy's equipment and equipping themselves with it.

  The earth was gray and misty at dawn, as if covered with a layer of gauze. In the midst of a sudden burst of gunfire, the devils in the artillery tower woke up one after another. However, they sadly found that they were unable to counterattack. The enemy's firepower was too fierce, and they couldn't even expose their bodies from behind cover. As soon as they came out, they would be shot dead by the enemy.

  "Support! We are under attack by an unidentified armed group here, need support!" The devil captain of this stronghold was calling for help from other devils on the phone, and he still didn't understand who he was fighting against.

  But Li Xinmin had already led his men into the stronghold, where they killed several Japanese soldiers and took a few prisoners. However, Li Xinmin showed no mercy to them, taking the prisoners outside the stronghold and stabbing them to death with bayonets. He then used the blood of the Japanese soldiers to write "A life for a life!" on the wall of the stronghold in large characters. After destroying the gun tower with explosives, they immediately left.

  As soon as it dawned, a group of devils came in trucks and arrived here. When they saw the miserable situation here, they let out waves of beast-like cries. Although they hated to the point of itching teeth, they didn't know who had attacked this stronghold. In the end, they could only collect the bodies of the dead devils and withdraw from here.
