Chapter 31: The Shocking Ambush (4)

  The warriors have boarded the cars, desperately sweeping away all visible resistance. The cars are far from being a fire-breathing monster, and these troops are all tempered in the Yang Gang ideology, with firepower supremacy deeply ingrained in their bones. Each car is equipped with enough ammunition and a large number of machine guns, and the infamous "Inferno Attack" is used to its limits by the warriors at this time. One clip finishes firing, another warrior takes over, continuous shooting without giving the enemy any chance to breathe. Only the remaining devils can't even lift their heads, hiding behind cover, not daring to move.

  The iron-clad monster roared towards the gate, with Nan Weiren and Li Baoguo hiding behind it, each holding a grenade launcher. Liu Jian accurately stopped the iron-clad car in front of the enemy's company headquarters, turned around the turret machine gun and swept it frantically, while the cars behind also turned around to suppress. In fact, the devils didn't need to pay attention to the iron-clad car's sweep at all, as its machine guns couldn't penetrate the sandbags on the machine gun fortifications. But just when the devils relaxed a bit, Nan Weiren and Li Baoguo's grenades shot out simultaneously! The sandbag fortification was like paper for the grenade that could easily penetrate the cement bunker, and before the scattered dust had even settled, the flying limbs were accompanied by the devils' dying screams. Nan and Li immediately crawled into the iron-clad car and charged towards the gate.

  A wooden gate, a machine gun fortress facing outwards, all useless against these iron things. Three armored vehicles opened the way, two were cut off in the rear, and in between them three cars fired everywhere. When they finally broke out of the devils' military camp, the sound of explosions had already been heard from behind, and the team members on the vehicle couldn't help but stop shooting to watch. Huge fireballs rose up from time to time, and huge explosions sounded like thunder under their feet. The devils' military camp was engulfed in a sea of flames.

  There was an armored vehicle, and all the way, the devils' sentry posts didn't ask any questions, and they were allowed to pass through. When they arrived at Liu Miaozi to meet up with Kang Nianshan and others, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

  The situation is much worse than imagined.

  Three special warfare troops only saw Wang Gui Xi's troop. Last night, Yano Yoichi mobilized almost all the troops to participate in the siege of this area and all the resistance forces, leaving Zhu Zhen Kun and others who were late to contact, surrounded by the Japanese army. Kang Nian Shan had a dispute over this, from a rational point of view, Kang Nian Shan knew that he would definitely die; but emotionally, he couldn't abandon his brothers, especially since Gao Que entrusted the troops to him.

  Fu Mali followed suit. Just received news, Kang Nianshan and others have brought Zhu Zhenkun's troops out of the siege, retreating to the northeast outside the Great Wall, and have shaken off the enemy. The loss is heavy. Four hundred and fifty members of the special warfare team lost more than half, Kang Nianshan was injured, Liu Baixin died in battle, three platoon leaders one dead and two wounded. Zhu's troops retreated with 200 people.

  Fu Mali's whereabouts are unknown.

  Wang Guixi then brought over Sakae Inoue, "This is Li Zhengxuan's captive." Li and Nan were taken aback. The special forces had always been known for not leaving any survivors, regardless of age or sex. This was an exception to the rules that they followed when carrying out missions abroad.

  Sakai Yoshiko looked at the tall and large man in front of her, wearing an Imperial Army uniform, which obviously didn't belong to him, looking quite cramped, but this couldn't hide his heroic spirit, the majestic air between his eyebrows was very intimidating.

  "Deputy Captain Li brought the Sky Patrol Team over to provide support and has already arrived at Zhuolu North, and is currently making contact," Wang Guixi continued.

  "Notify Deputy Commander Li, in Nanmen Village of Xuanhua we are waiting for you, we will set out immediately, go and notify the troops!" Nan Weiren said to Wang Guixi, "You first join forces with Commander Li's group, I'll take Liu Jian and others to meet up with Kang Nianshan, then gather at Nanmen Village."

  Wang Guixi was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was pushed away by Li Baoguo. "Get ready, board the bus and leave in three minutes."

  Li Baoguo patted Nan Weiren's shoulder, without saying a word! Nan Weiren knew that Li Baoguo understood his meaning. In battle, Li Baoguo had nothing to say; but for this kind of mental work, it was still Nan Weiren who took the lead.

  What is brotherhood? Unspoken yet understood. What kind of brotherhood can be at ease? The kind that can leave their back to each other on the battlefield.

  Comrade!

  On this day, Yano Yuichi didn't have a good time from the moment he woke up. When he got up to go to the toilet in the morning, he was pooped on by an early-rising crow, which landed right on his slightly bald forehead. Cursing "bad luck!", when he came out, a careless guard almost bumped into him, infuriating him so much that he slapped the guard to the ground with one hand and stormed off.

  At breakfast time, he, who usually liked to savor his food slowly, was almost frightened to death by a telegram from the Zhangjiakou garrison headquarters. The telegram was personally signed by Lieutenant General Hasumi, commander of the Mongolian Garrison Troops, asking if he needed Lieutenant General Hasumi to come in person? Yano, who had just recovered from the shock, didn't eat his breakfast and rushed into the combat room. As soon as he entered, he was startled again by a sentry who saluted him with a loud "Attention!". This sentry really... didn't salute early or late, but only shouted loudly when Yano passed by, making Yano so angry that he could only wave his hand in response.

  At 10 o'clock in the morning, good friend Yoshimura Nagata sent a telegram from mainland Japan, which was addressed to him personally. Ah! His daughter had been kidnapped and taken to China, and his wife asked Yoshida to tell him to find a way to find his daughter. The telegram only mentioned the name of the person who abducted the daughter - Fujita Chūson.

  At 2:00 pm, Yano was startled by a sudden knock on the door and went to open it himself. Okamura Masao rushed in with a look of horror and reported the fact that he could not accept for a long time - the entire army of the direct squadron had been annihilated, except for one person, Hashimoto Hidetaka, who was lucky enough to be excused due to diarrhea.

  Tanmu Hidemasa himself didn't know how he ran back, and when he arrived at the battlefield, there was nothing on the ground except corpses. The dead bodies were extremely gruesome, with all sorts of ways to die: one was hanging from a tree, his lower limbs blown off, surrounded by three others who had been blown to death; one had his neck twisted off, his head dangling limply to the side; one had a wooden arrow shot into him from behind, the powerful force pinning the corpse to a tree. And so on. Even Yano Yuichi, who had rushed over, felt a chill in his heart - this was absolutely not a battle, but a massacre! A premeditated massacre! The enemy had retreated in haste, some of the Imperial soldiers' clothes hadn't even been stripped off yet, while others were left with nothing but their bare bodies.

  In Yano's war room, the captains and lieutenants who rushed in were gazing at Yano with a mixture of sadness and anger. Behind Yano was a large map of China and the Japanese national flag. Yano slowly stood up, scanning the crowd in the conference room, "Everyone, please rise! Let us mourn for our brave soldiers who have just died in battle! For the heroic soldiers of the Great Empire of Japan!" He gently removed his hat, bowed his head in silence for a minute, then, "Please be seated. Everyone, what we are facing is not ordinary Chinese soldiers, nor are they ordinary bandits, but seasoned executioners with rich experience in killing! From the situation of our own troops, these people's combat skills are extremely outstanding!..."
