Chapter 55: The Attack Strategy of the Japanese Puppet Army

  "Don't worry, I won't say anything else, but this one thing I guarantee to complete for you!" Xue Yumei guaranteed in front of Chen Shaoqin, then suddenly pulled out a pistol from Chen's waist, cocked it and walked behind the camp commander, her two eyes staring intently at him without blinking.

  "I'm telling you, girl, why are you always sneaking around behind my back instead of following your own people? Haven't you ever seen a man before?" The squad leader was really not used to having someone lurking behind him, so he turned around and looked at Xue Yumei, intentionally teasing her in order to make her feel embarrassed and leave on her own.

  "Shut up! If our superior hadn't ordered me to keep an eye on you, I wouldn't be bothered with you here!" Xue Yumei put on a tough attitude, not taking the young camp commander seriously at all. With her handgun already cocked and ready to fire, she just needed to lightly pull the trigger to make his body riddled with holes. So after hearing his words, she deliberately made a slight movement with her handgun, then said to him, implying that he should be smart and back off, or else she had the authority to shoot him as a deserter.

  "Girl, don't be impulsive!" The little camp commander saw the pistol in Xue Yumei's hand and gently pushed it away. Then he said to the little girl, "I've already promised your superiors that I'll fight the devils here, so this isn't necessary anymore, is it?"

  "Our superior said that as long as you honestly lead the brothers to fight against the little devils, this gun in my hand will absolutely not fire a shot at you!" Xue Yumei did not intend to listen to this kid's words. She pushed away the little captain's hand with one push and pointed the muzzle of her gun at his chest. The way she looked like she was going to make another move, if he dared to do it again, she would not be polite.

  "I'm heartbroken for you, holding onto that heavy burden. Since you don't appreciate it, forget it! You can keep holding on if you want!" The company commander saw Xue Yumei's stubbornness and was really at a loss, finally having to give in and let this little girl hold the broken handgun behind his back, then turned around to face the busy brothers and said, "Brothers, the devils are talking, hurry up!"

  Taking advantage of his brother's digging, Chen Shaoqin brought his own sniper rifle to a large tree on the edge of a cliff, hiding in the side with more lush leaves. On the one hand, he could open the leaves to see the enemy's movements clearly, and on the other hand, he could use the lush leaves to hide his tracks.

  After adjusting the angle and observing the view, he slowly picked up the sniper rifle in his hand, aiming at the only mountain village path in front of him, waiting for the arrival of the little devil.

  After everything was ready, Brother also began to lie in wait, waiting for the little devil to appear on the small road, and then give the little devil a fatal blow.

  At this time, the faint sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer. Turning over the mountain ridge, Chen Shaoqin saw three people appearing on the small road, with the leader's legs not being very convenient, walking with a limp, but he didn't drag his two brothers behind at all, keeping pace with them as they retreated while firing their guns in this direction.

  "Eight hundred meters... the Chinese are right in front, charge immediately!" The Japanese lieutenant led his troops in pursuit while ordering the puppet army battalion commander beside him to have the puppet army advance first. Probably because he saw that the surrounding terrain was treacherous and feared an ambush, he had the puppet army clear the way for them.

  Chen Shaoqin saw very clearly that the three being chased by the little devils were none other than Liu, Ah Si and Xiao Shi Tou. At this moment, they were being pursued by a large group of little devils, fortunately without any casualties among them. The fake army battalion commander who was ordered to pursue them by the devil lieutenant was none other than Yan Lao San, an old acquaintance of Chen Shaoqin's. Seeing their appearance at this moment, for some reason, the fresh blood in Chen Shaoqin's chest began to churn up.

  "Where are we going?" Old Three obviously saw the danger ahead and was unwilling to lead the team to their deaths, but the little devil had given him a death order. If he didn't execute it, the little devil would definitely not give him any good fruit to eat. So at this moment, he was just holding onto a glimmer of hope that the devil lieutenant could change his mind and not let him lead the brothers to their deaths.

  "Bah! Do you dare to disobey? You have several heads, do you dare to defy the orders of the Imperial Army!" The Japanese lieutenant was furious, with an arrogant attitude that seemed to force Old Third Zheng to execute the order. In the eyes of the Japanese, Old Third Zheng and those puppet soldiers were nothing but a bunch of useless trash, only useful for detonating landmines, and having no other value whatsoever. Therefore, at this critical moment when they needed to clear the way, the Japanese lieutenant would not let such a good opportunity slip away.

  "Hey! I'm going right away!" Lao San didn't dare to be slow, and when he saw the little devil's serious expression that seemed to want to kill him, he could only accept the little devil's command. He led the puppet army brothers forward, clearing a path for the little devil, so after saying this submissive sentence in front of the Japanese lieutenant, he immediately led the puppet army to sweep forward in the direction ahead.

  The squad leader saw the pseudo-army approaching, slowly entering their firing range. He immediately ordered everyone around him to open fire. At that time, Czech-style machine guns and hand grenades were all fired at the position where the pseudo-army was rushing towards. The strong firepower didn't take much effort, and Yan Lao San immediately led the pseudo-army to retreat back.

  "A bunch of fools, they've exposed all their firepower in the first round!" Chen Shaoqin saw the battalion commander fighting and couldn't help but worry about their impulsiveness. These little devils were heavily armed with Type 92 machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars, and after opening fire on the puppet army, they should have had a certain understanding of the firepower configuration at the front line. Next, it would be the little devils' turn to launch a crushing barrage with their grenade launchers and Type 92 machine guns against the brothers, who would find it hard to hold on.

  He suddenly flipped down from the tree and ran to the trench where the battalion commander was at the fastest speed, saying: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

  "Retreat? Did I hear that wrong? You were the one who didn't let me retreat in the first place, and now you're telling us to retreat again. What are you trying to do?" The regimental commander was feeling proud of himself for driving away the enemy troops, but he couldn't understand why Chen Shaoqin came to tell him to retreat at this time.

  If they had lost this battle, it would have been reasonable for them to retreat. But now that they've won and thoroughly at that, those fake soldiers who managed to survive the barrage are probably few in number. At this point, they should be pressing on with the attack to expand their gains, but Chen Shaoyin is telling him to retreat instead. He can't understand what Chen Shaoyin means, so he looks at him in confusion, wanting an explanation of what's going on?
