Chapter 38: Ambush Battle

  Zhao Xiao Feng gazed at the quiet street for a while, shook his head, pointed forward and said: "The street ahead has over a dozen households. You and I will each bring five hand grenades, quickly run forward, I'll be responsible for throwing grenades into the houses on the left, you throw them into the houses on the right. All machine gunners will switch to single-shot mode, as soon as an enemy appears, take one out! Absolutely no survivors can be left!"

  "Alright!" Ah Lang brought over ten hand grenades and handed five to Zhao Xiao Feng, then grinned at him and said: "Commander! Let's see who can run faster between the two of us!"

  "Hmph!" Zhao Xiao Feng said disdainfully: "You can't outrun me!"

  "Commander! Stop bragging! I'm a hunter by birth, and I can run faster than wolves!" Ah Lang said discontentedly, patting his chest: "If I lose, I'll change my name from now on! And take your surname!"

  "Haha!" Zhao Xiao Feng laughed and said: "Good! I was just thinking that your name sounds too much like a bandit's! This time you'll have to change it!"

  Two men turned all the hand grenades in their hands, with a few more in their breast pockets, waiting for the signal from the communications soldier!

  Sakai Tarō! Once a swindler, he had been living a life that people looked down on after reaching middle age. He cheated men and bullied women, forcing them to buy and sell, and couldn't make a living in Japan anymore. That's why he joined the army and came to China, where he has a notorious name "Kwantung Wolf".

  During his time as a soldier in China, his beastly nature was fully unleashed, with rape and slaughter. Sakai Tarō personally killed dozens of Chinese civilians using brutal methods, and presented the women and goods he plundered to his superiors. The Tenli Village massacre was one of his deeds, but after looting grain that day, he immediately led a group of soldiers away, which is why they didn't encounter Zhao Xiaofeng's bandit troops.

  It was precisely because of this that in China for three years, Sakai Tarō, who had no professional military education at all, was promoted from a soldier to lieutenant!

  Today, this Kwantung Army wolf was leading a small squad of Japanese troops in an infiltrating attack on Chaoyang Street Heights when they were ambushed by Northeast Anti-Japanese Army soldiers. He frantically ordered his men to fire into the house to suppress the enemy's firepower, and although he sacrificed several subordinates, he finally got an opportunity to throw a hand grenade inside.

  Seeing his soldiers wanting to move the corpses, Sakai Tarō, who was eager to gain greater merit, immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and lie in ambush in the surrounding civilian houses, intending to wait for the Chinese soldiers passing by here.

  He set up a 92-style heavy machine gun in the ruins of the house where he had previously sniped himself, and he recklessly thought that he could use this to ambush the Chinese army and cut off the reinforcement channel between the front-line position and Shao's mansion.

  "Begin!" The signal soldier saw that all preparations were ready and immediately issued orders.

  In an instant, Zhao Xiaofeng, who was in a squatting position, used his back foot to exert force and immediately propelled himself forward, sprinting 100 meters, which was his strong suit.

  A Lang was in no way inferior, and his body, which had been leaning forward, immediately shot forward like an arrow off the string.

  More than 100 meters away, in less than nine seconds, throwing grenades, pulling out the pin, throwing grenades, pulling out the pin, they ran to the finish line in one breath. The Japanese in the house had not yet come back to their senses.

  "Why did the two people run so quickly across the street? How could they run that fast? What did they throw into the house?" Many Japanese soldiers were still wondering when suddenly there was a loud "Boom!" explosion nearby.

  Sakai Tarō was the quickest to react, he was the first to rush onto the street and threw himself on the ground, but several angry bullets had already hit his body, this time, he would never be able to get up again.

  His sinful life has come to an end, and he will no longer be able to wildly shout that Chinese people are the sick men of East Asia, Chinas pigs!

  Suddenly, Zhao Xiaofeng, who had just stopped in his tracks, discovered that there was still a devil hiding on a tree behind him. The devil's gun was already aimed at Ah Lang. "Bang! Bang!" Two shots rang out.

  A Japanese soldier fell from a tree and his bullets grazed A Wolf's scalp before shooting into the ground.

  "Are you okay, Wolf?" Seeing Zhao Xiao Feng's anxious look, Wolf immediately forced a smile and said: "I actually lost to you, from now on I'll be called Zhao Wolf!"

  "Get out!" Zhao Xiao Feng saw that Ah Lang was fine and immediately scolded: "You little wolf! I've already thought of a name for you! It's Zhao Jia Yi Lang!"

  "Pffft!" Ah Lang laughed and said: "I'd never be called a Japanese name! This name sounds terrible to death!"

  "Good!" Zhao Xiaofeng pretended to think and said: "Then call him Zhao Yilang?"

  "Not good!"

  A Lang shook his head like a rattle drum: "No! Change again!"

  "Haha!" Zhao Xiao Feng laughed and said: "Alright, you should really change your name. From now on, you'll be called Shi Li! 'Shi' as in stone, 'Li' as in inside and outside, a homophone for Ten Mile Village. It's to remind you not to forget the blood debt of Ten Mile Village!"

  "Yes!" Ah Lang's face immediately darkened as he recalled the tragic incident in Shili Village.

  At this time, all the machine gunners ran over, "Depart!" The renamed A Lang immediately shouted: "Go and fight against the Japanese!"

  "Slow down!" Zhao Xiao Feng stopped Shi Li Dao: "Now the enemy has already heard the gunfire here, they will definitely send someone to check it out. Moreover, this place is very close to Shao Fu, we can't let the Japanese get their hands on the back door of Shao Fu, so I've decided to ambush the enemy here!

  "Yes!" Shi Li looked around and said: "Take down all the enemy's weapons and equipment, clothes too!"

  "Yes!" The soldiers immediately stripped the Japanese of all their equipment, and Shi Li selected fifteen relatively clean clothes from among them. Pointing to his subordinates, he said: "You fifteen people change into these clothes, divide into two teams and ambush in the small woods on both sides. Wait until you can't hold out here before coming out to attack the enemy."

  "Slow down!" Zhao Xiao Feng said: "You go lead the team, leave this place for me to command!"

  "Good!" Shi Li changed into a Japanese military uniform and led his men to hide in the woods.

  Zhao Xiaofeng looked around and immediately said: "Everyone, let's work together. Set up some pillars on the mound in the middle of the street, cover all the Japanese corpses with them, and make sure they are secure!" He pointed to three soldiers and said: "You three carry a large amount of ammunition and guns, hide under these Japanese corpses, wait for an opportunity, and when you see that we have attracted many enemies here, you can start shooting. Not a single enemy is allowed to escape!"

  "Yes!" They immediately set to work together, using the Japanese corpses to build a solid human breastwork.

  "Attention, everyone!" Zhao Xiao Feng shouted: "Divide into six small teams, five people per team, and ambush one team every two rooms. After the enemy enters the ambush circle, be sure to fire one team at a time! Don't expose your firepower casually, let the Japanese know in advance which house has people inside!"

  "Yes!"

  "Let's go! The enemy can't get through for the time being, let's take a look at the back, don't let the enemy surround us!"

  On the 24th at noon, Hirata Yukihiko, who heard the explosion sound, sent another small team to check the situation. He did not expect that one of his own teams would be annihilated without a sound.

  The leader of the Japanese army squad, Masa Watanabe, was a soldier who graduated from the Japanese military academy. He had just joined the army for two years and was sent to Manchuria. His dream was to be a pilot. He didn't want to walk around on the ground with a gun every day. It would be great if he could fly in the sky every day!

  Once this war is over, I will immediately go to General Hirata Yukimasa to ask for a petition. The air force is currently short of people and there must be an opportunity!

  When the pilot had a chance, he might have gotten it, but unfortunately, he no longer had a chance to survive. A 7.92mm caliber bullet "ding" pierced through Masaaki Goro's steel helmet, and his facial muscles began to twitch non-stop. Red and white **with thick lumps flowed out from the bullet hole in the helmet! But his body hadn't fallen yet.

  Just as Aso Gorō was shot, the deputy captain beside him was stunned at first, then rushed to the ground and shouted: "Down...!"

  In the brief moment of hesitation by the deputy captain, God had already decided his fate. At this time, "Rat-a-tat-tat!……" The light and cheerful song of the machine guns around him immediately rang out, and a small team of nearly 100 Japanese soldiers was wiped out in less than a minute.

  "Come!" Zhao Xiao Feng shouted: "Stab the Japanese who are not dead yet one more time, and build another human flesh mound on the small slope behind!"

  Before long, two human forts were built in front of and behind each other. Zhao Xiao Feng knew that with the weapons and dry rations left behind by these Japanese after they died, it would be enough to support thirty people for half a month. He immediately ordered Shi Li to lead twenty people to follow him towards the direction of the small western gate.
