Chapter 21: Frontal Assault on the Puppet Army's Artillery Emplacement

  "What's going on?" Chen Shaoqin looked at Xue Yumei with a puzzled expression, just like everyone else, clearly not understanding what important thing Xue Yumei was referring to.

  "After completing the task, Old Four and his team must leave behind the name of our War Eagle Sniper Team. We must make those little devils see these few words and feel uneasy in their sleep, haunted by nightmares!" Xue Yumei said seriously to everyone, more serious than ever before. As a student at Yanjing University, she may not have been as skilled with knives and guns as Chen Shaobin and his team, but when it came to wisdom and brains, she believed she wouldn't lose to any of them. Moreover, the clearer this shadow was left in the devils' hearts, the better, which is why she advocated for Old Four and his team to increase their efforts to imprint these words on the devils' minds while completing their mission.

  "War Eagle Sniper Group? Is this a mountain stronghold name?" Lao Liu said, his first reaction filled with confusion and puzzlement upon hearing the name.

  "I think so too, otherwise why would it be so troublesome?" Old Fourth seemed to agree with Liu's speculation, after all they were both mountain bandits, except for being sensitive to those titles, everything else showed an unusual dullness.

  "Never mind what it is, just do as I say!" Chen Shaoqin was too lazy to explain anything to them. The little devils wouldn't give him the time anyway. If he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life. So he immediately said to Lao Si and the others.

  Lao Si and the others immediately responded, then several people walked towards the back of the team, according to the original plan, and began to sweep away the traces left by the big team's advance...

  Chen Shaoqin led the remaining people from the mountain stronghold to the outskirts of Zhujiatun, where they looked at a fort standing at the main entrance of the town from a distance. Several teams of puppet troops were patrolling back and forth, and there was no sign of any ordinary people around. It is not clear whether it was because these puppet troops were bullying here that the ordinary people did not dare to enter or exit freely, or whether there were other reasons for the desolation of this place.

  "Director Chen, I just took a look around. This area is surrounded by fake soldiers. Judging from the number of people, it shouldn't be less than a battalion!" Lao Liu came to Chen Shaoqin's side and said, "With our twenty or so men, wanting to take down this place, we can only hope that heaven creates a miracle for us!"

  "Miracles are not bestowed from heaven, they must be created by ourselves!" Chen Shaoqin was not moved by Liu's negative words, but instead became even more determined to strike down the evil here.

  "It's easy to say, but look, there are two Czech-style machine guns in the artillery tower, forming a crossfire to block our way. Outside, there are two layers of defense lines, and even if the Japanese devils don't have a whole battalion, they won't have less than a company. With such strong military power and firepower, we can't even think about attacking them, let alone being attacked by them! We'd be lucky if we just aren't hit!" Lao Liu's heart still had lingering fears, although he said that the fighting strength of these Japanese devils wasn't as strong as the devils themselves, but it was still not something that this mob could provoke.

  "Are you scared?" Xue Yumei heard Liu's string of words that belittled her, and she really couldn't listen to it anymore. She rushed towards Liu with a look of disdain, as if looking down on this country bumpkin.

  "Who's afraid!" Liu Ming, the rascal, didn't have any real guts, but still put on a protesting attitude against Xue Yumei's insult, "I just don't want everyone to follow you and make unnecessary sacrifices, going to their deaths!"

  "Look at you, with that cowardly look on your face. No wonder you're only fit to be a mountain bandit! You're really hopeless!" Xue Yumei was even more aggressive, thinking that this kid was just asking for a beating. Nobody said anything about what was happening in front of them, especially Chen Shaoqin didn't, which made her look down on Liu even more.

  "What did you say?" Hearing this, Liu the Rascal almost got into a fight with Xue Yumei.

  "Alright, stop arguing! Listen to my plan!" At this time, Chen Shaoqin stopped the two of them from staring at each other and began to assign tasks. "We're not really going to fight, can't you just pretend? Who told everyone to go die?! Honestly!"

  Xue Yumei and Liu heard Chen Shaoqin speak like this, so they didn't say anything more. They just didn't want to see each other, turning their backs on each other, with an air of not being able to stand each other.

  Chen Shaoqin didn't have time to bother with them, and instead turned to Liu the Crooked and said: "Alright, Big Boss, in a moment you take ten men to that big road on the east side and fire a few shots. The Japanese devils will definitely focus all their attention on your side when they hear the gunfire, then I'll open fire from this side and we'll form a crossfire against them. But there's one thing - each of you must stay out of the enemy's firing range!"

  "Go!" Liu Mei-yu, the leader of the group, hesitated for a moment and then led her team towards the east road. Upon arriving at the designated location, she raised the gun in her hand and fired several shots at the puppet army's artillery tower: "Bang! Bang! Bang..."

  The pseudo-army heard the sound of gunfire and immediately turned all their muzzles around, sweeping towards the small path in the east. The Czech-style fortifications opened fire first, followed by the pseudo-soldiers on the defensive positions. A string of gunfire burst out like firecrackers during the New Year's celebration.

  Chen Shaoqin took advantage of the gunfire to aim his rifle at the Czech-style machine gunner's head on the left side of the artillery tower. As the Czech-style machine guns fired in succession, he pulled the trigger with his right index finger. Almost no gunshot could be heard, and a bullet shot out from Chen Shaoqin's rifle, shooting straight at the left pseudo-military machine gunner's head. In an instant, it penetrated the opponent's brow, causing the pseudo-soldier to lose his grip, and the machine gun in his hand fell from the artillery tower.

  Only Chen Shaoqin and the others saw this, while the fake soldiers who were firing indiscriminately concentrated their attention on shooting in the smoky environment, completely unaware of this unusual scene.

  After seeing the fake army being killed, Chen Shaoqin quickly pulled the bolt, ejected the shell from the chamber, and then pushed and pulled again. A bullet instantly entered the chamber. Immediately afterwards, Chen Shaoqin fired a second shot, hitting the machine gunner on the right side of the fake army, and for a time, the defenders in the fake army's artillery tower became empty.

  Seeing the opportunity ripe, Chen Shaoqin immediately ordered his bandit soldiers to open fire and strike at the pseudo-army in front of them. Those pseudo-soldiers were not to be outdone either; after seeing Chen Shaoqin's legendary marksmanship, they showed no fear, as if they had already decided that they would win this battle, and they all took aim and pulled the trigger.

  This suddenly made the originally chaotic pseudo-army camp even more chaotic, and the pseudo-military battalion commander saw countless pseudo-soldiers dying around him. He picked up the phone and connected to the command center of Bin Taro...
