Chapter 63: A Silent Battle

  "I understand, I'll lead the men to sneak up behind the little devils. In a moment, you and Sister Xue will be watching from the front, and I'll make sure to take care of these little devils!" Liu the Crook listened to Chen Shaoqin's words and immediately nodded in agreement. He led the Warhawk team members to prepare their bayonets first. These bayonets were originally on the Type 38 rifle, but earlier, in order to facilitate carrying and avoid accidental injury to his comrades, he had them remove the bayonets and hang them from their waists. Now, these bayonets would come in handy. Under Liu's eye signal, all the brothers of the Warhawk team slowly pulled out the gleaming bayonets from their waists and hid them behind their arms, waiting for further orders from Liu.

  Han Yingchang saw that the War Eagles team members were all ready, and he didn't know whether it was to save face or to make it easier to get rid of the opposing team. He signaled his subordinates to prepare their bayonets and be ready for battle. The others continued to follow Chen Shaocen and Xue Yumei to maintain a strong front and cover up their actions, after all, they couldn't let the little devils discover that someone was missing, otherwise, the little devils wouldn't fall for it.

  At this time, the little devils appeared neatly in front of Chen Shaoqin and his men, and stopped advancing in front of Chen Shaoqin. A Japanese military officer who looked like a superior came to Chen Shaoqin's side, gave him a military salute, and after seeing Chen Shaoqin return the courtesy, asked: "Which unit is your commander from? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

  It is clear that the other party saw the bloodstains on Chen Shaoqin's team's military uniform and, out of curiosity and caution, wanted to understand what had happened and clarify the unit number and commander of this team in front of them. Only then would they have effectively carried out their orders.

  Chen Shaoqin looked at the opponent, but couldn't understand his Japanese, and had no way of knowing what he was muttering about. He was worried that he would soon be exposed in front of these devils. His purpose in meeting with the devils was to delay time, giving Liu and Han more time to prepare for action. However, this little bit of time was not enough, so in desperation, he walked up to the devil's captain and slapped him on the face, then furiously shouted at him: "Baka!"

  This is one of the few Japanese phrases he knows, and he also understands what it means. So when he says this phrase, he looks particularly angry, as if he wants to tear his opponent apart to vent his anger. Unfortunately, now that he's in a situation where he needs to use it, he regrets not having studied Japanese professionally. If he had, he could have used the enemy's own hands to take down the enemy right in front of the little devil, but for now, he can only pretend to be tough with a few poorly understood Japanese phrases and try to stall for as much time as possible.

  "Ah Hai!" The other party was slapped by Chen Shaoqin and immediately nodded, "This is the superior's order, I have no right to ask you questions, please understand my work!"

  "Ah!" Chen Shaoqin still didn't understand what the other person meant, but their attitude really made him feel ridiculous. He had to thank the little devil's warrior spirit for teaching them that even after being beaten, they would nod and say yes, without even daring to show a hint of resistance. This was an opportunity given by heaven to Chen Shaoqin, and he naturally wouldn't let it slip away. He stepped forward and gave the other person another slap on the ear, putting on a fierce and menacing appearance.

  Today was the happiest day for Chen Shaoqin, although he slapped the little devil too hard and his hand hurt, but he felt especially relieved in his heart. If all the little devils were like this now, standing in front of him and letting him beat them one by one, then he wouldn't need to bring his brothers to fight this war with the little devils.

  "I'm sorry, this is really what the commander above means!" The Japanese lieutenant still lowered his head, without any sign of resistance, and continued to explain in front of Chen Shaobin. He had no idea that Chen Shaobin didn't understand what he was saying at all, let alone that Chen Shaobin would be the arch-nemesis of the little devil.

  While Chen Shaoqin was dealing with these little devils, Liu the Crooked and Han Yingchang had already taken position with their men. The brothers simultaneously placed the bayonets in their hands on the necks of the little devils, waiting for Chen Shaoqin's order to take action and finish off the ones in the back.

  "You little devils, I'm exhausted from smoking, now I'll send you on your way!" Chen Shaoqin saw that everything was ready and shouted loudly at the opposing Japanese officer. This is authentic Chinese with a strong local flavor, even if the opponent is a foolish little devil, they should be able to understand this clearly.

  While Chen Shaoqin was speaking, Liu and Han Yingchang suddenly covered the little devil's mouth with their left hand from behind, and with their right hand, they cut the blade of the dagger towards the devil's neck. With one pull, the artery on the little devil's neck burst, and in an instant, all the devils' soldiers almost simultaneously convulsed, and within a minute, they were all put to death by the brothers on the ground. Then the brothers began to wipe the blood stains off their daggers.

  "Ah Kua! The work of the Chinese!" At this time, the Japanese lieutenant finally reacted, and after a moment of panic, he immediately pulled out the command knife in his hand, grasping the handle with both hands, "Kill them for me at once!"

  But after he yelled for half a day, no one behind him made a move, and the whole scene was just him alone holding a knife in support. This made the Japanese lieutenant feel a chill on his back, so he immediately turned around to look at the back, where the Japanese corpses were scattered all over the place, which made the Japanese lieutenant's heart tremble with fear.

  "Eight Trigrams Sword Route!" The little devil roared again, raising the military knife in his hand and chopping it down towards Chen Shaoyin. The momentum was as if he wanted to fight Chen Shaoyin to the death, not intending to surrender or think of a way to escape from here. Because he deeply knew that he had no way to escape from here alone, so the only way left for him was to fight Chen Shaoyin to the death.

  This command knife is not his, a senior sergeant does not have the qualifications to wear it. This is because of his previous military achievements, awarded by his superior officer, but he did not expect to use it in this duel with Chen Shaobin. Perhaps he wants to die like a warrior, without disgracing his own merits and heroism, that's why he is fighting Chen Shaobin desperately.

  Chen Shaowu dodged the Japanese officer's slashing sword, but didn't expect that the Japanese officer's slash was a feint. After Chen Shaowu dodged the blade, the little devil took advantage of this opportunity to pull out a dagger from his waist and stabbed directly at Chen Shaowu's back.

  This was a sneak attack, Chen Shaoqin couldn't have predicted it beforehand. After dodging the little devil's slash, he originally thought of counterattacking, but didn't expect the little devil to come at him with this move, which indeed left Chen Shaoqin bewildered and unaware.
