Chapter 50: Obtaining a Fierce General (2)

  "Get ready for battle!", Huang Yukai ordered the warriors to prepare for combat. At this moment, all the warriors were hiding behind bushes, grasses and big rocks on both sides of the road, with their guns cocked and their large knives placed within reach, ready to fight at any time.

  "Halt!", "Rat-a-tat!", a hubbub of noise grew louder and closer, and gradually the guerrilla troops led by Zhao Hailong appeared in Huang Yuke's line of sight. The devils slowly emerged behind them. The soldiers all held their breath, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on what was below, waiting quietly for the devils to enter their encirclement.

  Zhao Hailong and his men were ambushed by Huang Yuke's group on this road when a batch of devils closely followed them from behind.

  "Come on! Let's go!", seeing that the devils had passed through their ambush point, Zhang Xiaochang anxiously asked Huang Yuke.

  "Don't be impatient! Wait a bit, there are many devils in this batch. If we act now, we can't wipe them out and they'll easily escape." Huang Yuke said slowly. What Huang Yuke meant was to wait until the main force of the devils entered the ambush point before launching an attack. The devils had no idea that the guerrilla team would have a supporting troop coming for them, so they didn't take any precautions against them. Huang Yuke wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to heavily damage this batch of devils, and best of all, annihilate them.

  "Keep going! It's almost time, if we don't attack the devils now, they'll all pass by." said Captain Meng Jingshan. Huang Yuke also found that most of the devils had entered the ambush point, and there were not many devils left behind.

  "Fire! Give me a good beating!", Huang Yuke's voice fell, the soldiers threw hand grenades one after another at the devils on the road below, and the light and heavy machine guns poured bullets into the devils' bodies like they were free.

  Bullets rained down on the devils, and countless devils fell under the guns of the warriors. The unlucky devil, Lieutenant Colonel Tieno, in order to annihilate Zhao Hailong's guerrilla team, personally led his men in pursuit from behind. If Huang Yuke had attacked earlier, he might have escaped the attack of the Eighth Route Army, but unfortunately, he encountered the steady and wise Huang Yuke. Kusatsu and Nakamura were let off by Huang Yuke at the ambush point. Just as he was leading Kurozawa through here, he was ambushed by Huang Yuke's men, and they suffered a violent attack like a storm. The Eighth Route Army soldiers threw hand grenades beside him, and the hand grenades instantly blew Lieutenant Colonel Tieno to pieces, his limbs flying everywhere.

  The sudden attack instantly disrupted the devils, and they didn't know how to counterattack. Huang Yuke and his men were in a superior position, with the terrain being very advantageous to them. The devils had no place to defend themselves and had also lost their commander.

  "Bastard! Attack! Where do I charge to?", at this time, the voice of Kuroda squad leader came from the enemy's team, it turned out that he was with Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka, Tanaka himself led his men to charge forward, while Kuroda followed behind, dodging the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

  The ghostly soldiers were indeed well-trained, and despite being in such a disadvantageous situation, they were still able to follow Kuroba's command, quickly regrouping and launching an attack on the high ground where Huang Yuke and his men were ambushing.

  Yuson and Nakamura were hot on the heels of Zhao Hailong with the ghost soldiers when suddenly gunshots and explosions were heard from behind their troops.

  "Hurry! Go back and support!", they immediately understood that the troops behind had been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, just as they were about to go back to reinforce, Zhao Hailong, who was running in front, also heard the gunfire.

  "Brothers! The Eighth Route Army has come to support us, we can't abandon them, follow me back to support them!" Zhao Hailong shouted loudly, leading his men to charge forward. They collided with the rear troops of Jushan and Nakamura. The guerrilla fighters, who were already very frustrated, immediately regained their morale and wanted to avenge their previous humiliation. Jushan and Nakamura had originally planned to return to provide support, but they were pinned down by Zhao Hailong's men and couldn't move, so they stopped and engaged in an intense battle with them. The two battlefields were not far apart, and the fighting was equally fierce.

  The devils, under the command of Xiao Hei, organized a resistance on the spot. However, Huang Yu-kai and his men took advantage of their geographical advantage, and the devils who were cut off by Huang Yu-kai's men from behind also rushed in, coordinating with Hei to launch an attack on Huang Yu-kai's men. But the terrain chosen by Huang Yu-kai was really too convenient, the light and heavy machine guns and rifles on the top of the slope poured bullets into the devils' crowd non-stop, and hand grenades were constantly thrown down.

  Warrior Liu Shixing continuously fired at the Japanese soldiers, and every soldier in the third battalion was a sharpshooter. Each of his bullets easily eliminated a Japanese soldier.

  "Lao Lou! How many devils have you killed?", Liu Shixing asked his comrade Lao Gou while loading bullets.

  "The fifth one is down, no! The sixth one! Where are you, little rascal?" Lou Guoxin said to Liu Shixing after firing another shot.

  "It's so fast! Mine is the fifth one! This turtle son dodged it!", Liu Shixing cursed at the ghost. Just now, he fired another shot, and coincidentally, a ghost just moved slightly, dodging Liu Shixing's fatal shot, and was hit by the bullet on his dog leg, and the ghost soldier immediately fell to the ground.

  Fighting until this time, both sides were seeing red, and the devils were charging up desperately as if they had no regard for their lives.

  "Everyone is ready! Let's exchange blows with those devils!", Huang Yuke said to the soldiers beside him.

  At this time, Huang Yuke saw the squad leader Kurozawa who was commanding the devils to attack in the devil's team.

  "Has anyone seen that devil of a commanding officer? Whoever can take him down for me, I'll treat to a drink," Huang Yuke said to the soldiers beside him.

  "Alright! You're buying this round!", Lou Guoxin said, raising his gun and taking aim at Kuroba. He paused for a few seconds before pulling the trigger with a crisp "crack!" The sound of the gunshot echoed through the air as Kuroba, the Japanese squad leader, was hit in the head by Lou Guoxin's bullet. Kuroba had been talking to one of his soldiers, who was standing too close, and the soldier was splattered with Kuroba's blood. Kuroba let out a final breath before falling to the ground, dead.

  "We hit it! Old Lou! You little devil, you really did it! When we get back, I'll treat you to a drink." Huang Yuke said with great excitement.

  "Brothers! Get your gear ready! Follow me and charge!", Huang Yukei knew it was time to launch a charge. At this moment, the devils had just lost their commander and were without leadership, they had also lost their will to fight, it was the best opportunity to launch an attack. So, with one order, he picked up his big knife and led the soldiers in charging towards the devils.

  "Charge!", and the warriors all followed closely behind him.

  "Alright! I lost to you in shooting just now, let's compare our knife skills!" Liu Shixing was not quite convinced that he had lost to Lou Guoxin earlier. So, he came up with this competition method.

  "Alright! Let's see who has better knife skills!", Lou Guoxin said, unwilling to show weakness.
