Chapter 17: Cleverly Using Special Troops to Destroy the Enemy

  Under Chen Shaoqin's organizational command, all the bandit brothers pulled the strings of the hand grenades they had divided into their hands. Two seconds after the hand grenade smoked, Chen Shaoqin immediately ordered: "Throw..."

  As soon as the order was given, dozens of hand grenades were thrown towards the narrow passageway at the same time. The little devils who were charging in front heard a series of loud explosions and were blown up by the powerful explosive force. Some were smashed against the stone walls on both sides, their bodies torn apart, while others fell from the sky, buried under the dust raised by the hand grenades.

  Because the stone walls on both sides suffered a powerful explosion and shock, the stone walls on both sides began to collapse, and most of the little devils who were not blown to death were hit by stones and had their heads broken and bleeding. Even many were directly buried under the rubble, even if they didn't die, it's hard to survive.

  "Beautiful! Brother, well done!" Liu the Crooked turned red with rage and heavily punched a stone as soon as he saw the little devil being blown away. Since the little devils arrived at the foot of the mountain, they had never fought such an open battle, let alone such a beautiful one. This couldn't help but make him admire Chen Shaobin's commanding ability.

  "Don't be too happy yet, those little devils have mortars for cover, and the ones in the back must have engineers, they can completely pinpoint and blow us to smithereens! Chen Shaoqin didn't dare to relax at all, now the little devils had lost some troops, but hadn't gained an advantage in the firefight, however as time went on, unpredictable changes would occur, and those changes could bring catastrophic disaster to everyone."

  "What should we do?" Lao Liu asked as soon as he heard Chen Shaoqin say that, and naturally felt the severity of the situation. However, at this moment, he still hadn't thought of a solution, so after hearing Chen Shaoqin's words, he immediately asked, wanting to know if Chen Shaoqin had any ideas about what to do next. If Chen Shaoqin really did have an idea, then all Lao Liu would need to do is follow his instructions and everything else would be taken care of.

  "What else can we do? Let's retreat quickly!" Xue Yumei heard Guai Zi Liu's inquiry and didn't wait for Chen Shaoqin to speak, she hastily said to Guai Zi Liu. After all, the enemy was strong and they were weak, wanting to defend this so-called defense line was like hitting a stone with an egg, not to mention being unable to block the attack of the little devils, even if they wanted to preserve their lives it would be a difficult task.

  "Right, let's retreat quickly, before the little devils blow up the rocks we used to block them. Let's get out of here first!" Chen Shaoqin had always thought that Xue Yumei didn't have any ideas in common with him, but now they coincidentally agreed on this matter. It seemed that after going through several battles together, Xue Yumei had made some progress.

  "Brothers, take all your equipment and retreat from Yunyang Xiaodao!" Liu Waizai didn't think twice after hearing Chen Shaoqin and Xue Yumei's words. He immediately gave orders to his brothers, telling them to quickly pack up their things and leave the place, not even daring to delay for a moment.

  A sudden withdrawal, Chen Shaoqin, Xue Yumei and Liu the traitor, led the remaining bandit troops of less than 40 people, carrying weapons and ammunition, into the Yunyang small trail, heading deep into the mountains. The main road was filled with the mechanized troops of the little devils, and even if they walked quickly, they couldn't escape the pursuit of the little devils. However, in the depths of the mountains, the little devils might not be their match, so they chose the Yunyang small trail.

  Just as Chen Shaoqin and his men left the defensive position, a loud explosion came from the stone gap, and the stones blocking the road were blown down. The little devils stepped on the sliding stones and climbed forward step by step. The deafening gunfire was just behind Chen Shaoqin and Liu's team.

  Chen Shaoqin and his men entered the forest at the fastest speed, and then the lush trees sheltered them. They were almost unimpeded and opened a distance of several hundred meters with the pursuing little devils.

  "Wait a minute!" Chen Shaoqin said, after seeing everyone safely enter the forest. He immediately raised his hand to stop everyone from advancing further and then turned to Liu Daqi and said: "We must prepare something for the little devils, otherwise they will chase us to death if we leave like this!"

  "Whatever you want to do, just say it. If my brother doesn't stop talking, I'll kill him right now!" Lao Liu was thoroughly convinced of Chen Shaoqin's abilities, so no matter what Chen wanted to do now, he would unconditionally agree, because he knew that in this forest, in order to evade the enemy's pursuit and find a way out for his brothers, they could only rely on Chen Shaoqin. Therefore, without any hesitation, he agreed to the request.

  "So, you arrange a few brothers to set up fake mines on our retreat route, but remember, half are real and half are fake. The first fake mine is just for show, write some words on it, tell the little devils that we've installed mines, let them send themselves to death. Write the same words in the second place, then install a real mine, followed by a third real mine, a fourth real mine, and when you get to the fifth one, make it the same as the first one, set up ten fake mines in a row!" Chen Shaoguo thought for a moment, then expressed his idea to Liu the Crooked.

  Liu Guai Zi listened and although he didn't understand what it meant or why they had to do this, he unconditionally obeyed Chen Shaoqin's arrangement. He immediately ordered Lao Er and Lao San to follow through with the matter.

  Lao Er and Lao San led a dozen or so brothers to stay behind and lay mines, while Xue Yumei was confused, so she went forward to ask Chen Shaoqin: "I said, stupid big guy, you've set up the trap well, why do you still need to write words to tell the little devils?"

  "You'll know soon!" Chen Shaoqin pretended to be mysterious, not intending to reveal what Xue Yumei wanted to know, but instead gave her some unanswerable responses and continued on their way.

  The little devils chasing Chen Shaoqin and the others into the forest, all the way to a big tree, but saw a long cloth hanging above, written on it: "Little devils, come over if you have the ability, we buried a landmine here, guaranteeing to send you to the Western Heaven."

  "Ah Kua!" The Japanese lieutenant saw those few Chinese characters and immediately roared with anger.

  "Captain, we're chasing the Chinese troops so hastily that they won't have time to lay out any booby traps. I think this is just a trick by the Chinese to confuse us!" A lieutenant speculated in front of the captain.

  "That's right, the Chinese must have set up a trap. How could they possibly write it down and tell us? This must be a trick by the Chinese to delay our time and slip away from under our noses. We can't fall for this!" The lieutenant analyzed what was said, hesitated for a moment, then shouted at the Japanese soldiers behind him, "Advance!"
