Got into trouble again

  The leader of the Japanese military squad sent to assist Ma was called Fujimori, who brought 20 Japanese soldiers and, according to Ma's arrangement, changed into Chinese attire and hid in a hidden place waiting for Ma's signal. After Du and Ma turned against each other, Fujimori led the Japanese soldiers into the battlefield and attacked from behind Du.

  The effective range of the Type 38 Arisaka rifle is over 400 meters, while the troops led by Du Boss are equipped with shotguns and pistols, with a range of 50-150 meters. Therefore, the Japanese army can effectively suppress Du Boss's men, who do not even have the power to fight back.

  Two of the gang members who came to reinforce after seeing the signal bomb attacked from behind the Japanese army, intending to attract the attention of the Japanese and cover Du's escape. However, the well-trained Japanese did not fall for it, and after a brief exchange of fire, both gang members fell into a pool of blood.

  Du Lao Ban is indeed a veteran of the old rivers and lakes. After losing more than a dozen subordinates, he realized that in this direct confrontation, he would not have the upper hand, so he ordered his men to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements. The remaining dozen or so people hid behind the earth mound, not taking the initiative to attack, only waiting for their own reinforcements to arrive and break through the siege, or holding out until nightfall before finding a way to break out.

  The Japanese army, led by Fujiwara, fought for a while and found that Du's side had fallen silent. He then ordered a charge. Just as several soldiers rushed to the front of the earth mound where Du and his men were hiding, more than a dozen heads suddenly emerged from behind the earth mound, accompanied by intense gunfire. The Japanese army covering from behind opened fire wildly, killing several of Du's men, but the charging Japanese soldiers were also hit by Du's wild shooting, dying unjustly. Others retreated after seeing that Du's side had too much firepower.

  "Save bullets and wait for the devils to rush over before shooting." Old Du directed calmly, he had less than ten people left now, and they could only hold on for a while.

  "The second group, continue to charge." Fujimori ordered. He was a man armed with the spirit of Bushido, and since coming to China, he had not suffered such a loss. Seeing that the first charge had failed, he organized a second charge.

  This time, Du Laoban waited until the Japanese troops rushed to within tens of meters of himself before ordering his men to open fire. At this distance, the distant Japanese troops were unable to provide effective firepower support, and Du Laoban's short guns came into play. After a brief melee, the second wave of Japanese troops was forced to retreat, with both sides suffering three casualties each.

  "Sir, the enemy's close combat skills are excellent. We won't have an advantage if we rush forward." a soldier reported to Fujimori.

  "No, we must settle the fight as soon as possible. If their reinforcements arrive, our operation will fail," Fujimori shouted, "Next charge, everyone goes up. They don't have many people left and can't organize an effective interception."

  "Commander, look! Our reinforcements are coming!" A soldier suddenly spotted a small group of Japanese troops running from afar and excitedly shouted to Fujimori.

  Touyama muttered, "Reinforcements? How could we have troops to reinforce?" He stood up and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and indeed saw 8 people wearing Japanese military uniforms running towards them.

  "Ask them which part they belong to."

  The soldier took a few steps forward and shouted at the people running towards him who looked like Japanese soldiers: "Which unit are you from?"

  "Which unit are you from? Why are you speaking Japanese?" The leader of the opposing group asked back to Fujimori's soldiers. Fujimori and his men were wearing Chinese uniforms, but they spoke in Japanese. The opponent was wearing a Japanese military uniform and also spoke fluent Japanese.

  "We are a special task force living in Zhabei, disguised as locals to eliminate an anti-Japanese gang." The soldier explained.

  "Do you need our help?"

  "We need it. We are about to launch a charge and if you can join us, we will be able to succeed at one stroke." The soldier replied after consulting with Fujimori.

  As they spoke, the Japanese army had already arrived in front of Fujimori's squad. Fujimori had just organized the remaining dozen or so soldiers to prepare for a collective charge. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, he was delighted and asked the leader: "Which unit are you from? Why are you wearing military uniforms?"

  Before the leader had a chance to respond, the 7 Japanese-dressed men behind him suddenly pulled out short guns from their pockets and opened fire on Fujimori's squad. Fujimori's team was completely caught off guard and seven or eight of them were killed or injured on the spot. The remaining Japanese soldiers realized they had been deceived and charged forward with their Type 38 rifles, but at such close range, they didn't have time to load and fire, so they could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents.

  Wearing Japanese military uniforms, it was Luo Yi's assault battalion. The man in the lead was a teacher from Du Gongguan who had been invited to come and had studied in Japan for many years, able to speak fluent Japanese that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Luo Yi had everyone wear the Japanese military uniforms they had captured from Zhoupu Village last time, and each of them carried a Type 38 rifle on their backs, looking quite like Japanese soldiers. According to Luo Yi's plan, Du's teacher walked at the very front of the troops, responsible for conversing with the Fujimori squad and dispelling their vigilance. Then, when the assault battalion had completely approached the Japanese army, they would suddenly attack and kill the enemy with short guns.

  The assault company made a successful attack, and more than half of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the Fujimori squad were lost. The remaining eight people fought against the bayonet with the assault company soldiers. Du Jia Shifu had no combat effectiveness and had already dodged to one side. Seven people from the assault company came carrying 38 guns, seeing the Japanese soldiers rushing over, they threw their pistols on the ground and held up their long guns to meet them.

  The Japanese army's assassination skills were quite skilled, but Luo Yi brought out this time were also the elite of the shock camp, after more than half a year of training, the quality was also very good. The two sides were evenly matched and fought in one place.

  Luo Yi single-handedly held off two Japanese soldiers, his spear flashing swiftly and powerfully, sending the two Japanese soldiers into a flurry of activity. He had been training with Qin Feng for half a year now, and his martial arts foundation was no longer ordinary. The reason he couldn't quickly defeat his opponents was mainly because he still had some fear in his heart - after all, this was his first time engaging in close combat with someone, and his opponents were two people. Luo Yi worried that if he made a mistake, he would lose his life here.

  "Luózi, give me one." Su Xiaofeng shouted from the side, carrying a rifle and joining the battle group. It turned out that the Japanese soldier who was facing him had been shot in the chest by him after several rounds and fell to the ground straight away. Su Xiaofeng was known for his great strength in the assault regiment, one-on-one combat, ordinary people were not his opponents.

  After Su Xiaofeng joined, Luo Yi was no longer in a dilemma of one against two. Facing a Japanese soldier, Luo Yi didn't have to worry about being distracted and losing focus, so he struck even harder. After a few moves, he stabbed the bayonet of his 38 rifle directly into the opponent's lower abdomen, then forcefully thrust it upwards, causing the opponent to be brutally disembowelled, their corpse falling to the ground. Luo Yi felt extremely nauseous for a while; this kind of face-to-face killing was truly a test of his mental endurance.

  Further down, the battle turned into a massacre. Luo Yi helped Su Xiao Feng deal with his opponent, and then the two of them started to help other assault camp officers and soldiers one by one. Not a single Japanese soldier was able to withstand their joint attack for three rounds. In the end, all eight Japanese soldiers were knocked down, and the assault camp only paid the price of two people being lightly injured.

  "Mr. Luo, a great favor is not to be thanked for, Du owes you a life, if there's anything in the future, just send someone over." After annihilating all the Japanese troops on the battlefield, Boss Du was taken away by the teacher, and as soon as he saw Luo Wei, he gave him a salute.

  "Mr. Du, you're too serious. This is what I should do." Luo Yi said while returning the salute. This time, with 7 assault troops facing a dozen Japanese soldiers, he had also made up his mind to take great risks. Fortunately, Fujimori was not psychologically prepared for this tactic, allowing Luo Yi to gain the upper hand and wipe out half of the Japanese army with his shotgun; otherwise, it would have been hard to say who would end up dead.

  "Mr. Luo, let's make a concerted effort and wipe out Ma Boss's people on the other side!" said Du Boss.

  Luo Yi said: "Let's use the same method to deal with them. We now have more than 20 long guns, and we don't need to engage in close combat with them at all. It's enough to snipe them with our long guns."

  Du's men were left with only six people, plus the soldiers of the assault battalion, each with a 38 large cover, rushed towards the place where Ma and others were hiding. Without the support of the Japanese army, Ma's side completely collapsed. The soldiers of the assault battalion were all good marksmen, and they could make Ma's subordinates unable to lift their heads from 200 meters away. Du was suppressed by the Japanese army earlier and had a belly full of fire, which was all released now. He led his men to charge in the front, with two shotguns per person, bullets pouring down like raindrops, and they rushed to Ma's subordinates in an instant.

  "Put down your gun!" Du's man shouted.

  Ma's subordinates were completely demoralized, one by one throwing their short guns to the ground, hugging their heads and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

  "What's happened to Mr Ma?" Old Du asked, grabbing hold of someone.

  "He... He ran away ahead of time."

  "Damn it!" Du boss angrily threw the man to the ground, raised his gun and was about to shoot him. Luo Yi followed Du boss and rushed over, seeing the situation hurriedly pulled Du boss back.

  "Boss Du, spare him. The principal culprit will be punished, and the accomplices will not be pursued. They are not the main culprits, so let them live."

  "Alright, then." Boss Du put the gun back in his waist and had his men tie up each of Ma's subordinates one by one, ordering them to be sent to the countryside to become laborers. The soldiers from the shock troops inspected the entire battlefield again, giving another shot to those Japanese soldiers who were not quite dead yet, then began collecting spoils of war.

  "Boss Du, your own brother, take a look and see how to collect them. Your own weapons, please put them away. As for the weapons on Boss Ma's side and the Japanese side, if you don't object, I plan to collect them for my own use." Luo Yi consulted with Boss Du, of course, he knew that by opening his mouth like this, Boss Du would have no reason to refuse. After all, it was Luo Yi who had saved Boss Du's life, how could he still argue with Luo Yi over spoils of war?

  "No need, no need, these spoils of war. If Mr. Luo doesn't mind, please take them away. Today is too late, in two days, I'll invite Mr. Luo to my place and give him another small gift, but compared to these weapons, it might be slightly heavier." Old Du issued a verbal IOU.

  Luo Yi furrowed his brow and said: "Boss Du, I suddenly remembered something, it's possible that I really need to ask for your help."

  "But it doesn't matter what I say. As long as I can help, there's no need for further discussion."

  "Mr. He Jichun's side might need to ask Old Du for help to put in a word for me. Just the other day, I had just promised him that I wouldn't cause any more trouble on Shanghai Beach, but now I've suddenly taken out over 20 devils and caused trouble again - I don't know if he'll make things difficult for me or not."

  Old Du smiled and said, "This matter is on me. If you don't want to cause trouble, just push it all onto me. Anyway, this group of Japanese people aren't even wearing Japanese military uniforms, who knows who they are?"
