Chapter 32: The Shocking Ambush (5)

  "Report!" a staff officer at the entrance shouted loudly, but his eyes carefully looked at Yano's face.

  Yano nodded for him to come in, and the staff officer walked over, placing an object on the desk. It was a helmet. "Report, just now we received news from the Shalingzi floating bridge that the bridge has been blown up..." The staff officer glanced at Yano, saw that he was calmly looking at him, and then continued to speak boldly: "It was blown up with this thing."

  Yano picked up the helmet and took a look, two helmets were tied together, now they have been disassembled, inside there are fine fuses and a timed bomb. The workmanship is very delicate, the dosage of explosives is very accurate, for explosives, Yano is a professional!

  "Everyone," Yano dropped the helmet bomb, "now I command, complete the encirclement of this area before midnight tonight, and then launch a comprehensive attack. I want my soldiers to flood everything like a big river. Do you understand?"

  The team leaders all stood up with a "whoosh" and shouted loudly: "Hurray!"

  Yano was still directing the battle on the front line when the news of the explosion in the rear arsenal arrived, and he sat down in a chair with a thud, speechless for half a day. What kind of troops are these? So mysterious! Yano suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, why?!

  When Li Baoguo arrived at Mengjia Village with his men, Li Ying and others had already arranged the guards. When they saw Li Baoguo really coming in an armored vehicle, they were still excited to surround this big iron thing. Li Ying knew that the armored vehicle was undoubtedly the overlord of the land for China at this time. When she saw Sakae Yoshiko, she was puzzled like Li Baoguo and Nan Wei Ren. But since they had already captured a prisoner, it was impossible to kill her again, let alone such a gentle little girl. Sakae Yoshiko also sensed that Li Ying was the highest-ranking officer in this group, bowing humbly and saluting, "I am a nurse, please take care of me."

  Sakai Yoshiko never expected Li Ying to speak Japanese, "What's your name? How old are you? How did you come to China?" Li Ying's Japanese was very pure, of course, it was the result of comparing with Liu Qingqing. Whatever Liu Qingqing could do, Li Ying could also do. Even a very rustic task like knitting a sweater, Li Ying had struggled for a month to master it, just because Liu Qingqing had knitted a pair of gloves for Yang Xun. Li Ying secretly knitted a sweater for Yang Xun, but before she could give it to him...

  Sakai Yoshiko inadvertently discovered that Li Baoguo could also understand her words, and she was very surprised and a little nervous. She had an inexplicable fear of Li Baoguo.

  Li Ying's subordinate was about to send Sakai Yoshiko back to the base when Sakai Yoshiko grabbed her, "I'm a nurse, I think I can do something for you and your soldiers. Honestly, I find that you are better than some of the Imperial Army men. I am willing to serve in your army."

  Li Ying hesitated for a moment, "You really want to go back now. I'm not in charge, let's wait until our captain and political commissar have discussed it." He signaled the team members to take Fangzi away. As Fangzi was leaving, she looked at Li Baoguo with pitiful eyes, thinking that he must be able to make a decision. But Li Baoguo didn't say anything, instead asking Wang Guixi who had just entered: "Is there any news from the South Team?"

  "Tomorrow afternoon, we can probably arrive here, and the journey is still relatively smooth. The devils are gathering in the direction of Xuanhua. There is no news from Fu Mali yet." Wang Guixi saluted, "Yang's telegram said that we can withdraw to Zhuolu South tomorrow. He has brought people over, but Gao's team won't be able to arrive until tomorrow night or so."

  "What? Captain Yang has arrived?" Li Ying was shocked, she hadn't planned for him to come! Suddenly she understood, Yang Wei must have been doing a very dangerous mission and had sent himself out ahead of time. Her heart ached, "Where is Captain Yang?"

  "Headquarters didn't say," Wang Guixi replied, "He brought people from the Special Operations Team, it seems to be a small squad."

  Li Xuerong and Li Xuetu walked in, they also liked the armored vehicle very much, and after fiddling with it for a while, they happily gave up their place. The two brothers chatted and laughed as they walked in, just as Li Ying was worried about Yang Jiong. "Captain Li, do you know what Captain Yang went to do?"

  Li Xue Rong was taken aback, his face showing great surprise. "Isn't Captain Yang at headquarters? Does he still have a mission?" But Li Xue Hu's expression was immediately detected by the sensitive Li Ying, further confirming her own thoughts.

  "Captain Li, take a small team and wait here for Team Nan to arrive. We will withdraw to the area of Zhuolu Dongjiafang to gather and await orders." Li Ying looked at Li Xuerong and said, "Your mission is to wait for Team Nan and monitor the movements of the devils."

  All the way, Li Ying cleverly dodged Li Baoguo and others, called Li Xuehu to one side, and easily deceived Yang Jie's whereabouts. It turned out that Yang Jie took Hu Yi and the guard class to explore the lair of the ghost son, and at this time they were probably already north of Xuanhua.

  Li Ying only then understood that even if she knew where Yang Wei had gone, it was useless. She wouldn't be reckless to the point of disregarding consequences. Taking a long breath, her heart felt complicated and she couldn't help but think, "If it were Liu Qingqing, what would he do? With Yang Wei's temperament, he would still do this."

  Dongjiafang is located in the mountain pass area south of Zhuolu, which is a must-pass route for entering and leaving Zhuolu County. Therefore, Gao Junping's power was very strong here. After suppressing a large number of landlord bullies, Dongjiafang basically had no more big landlords, nor any evil forces. There were only guerrilla teams active in the area, and the Japanese devils did not have the strength to extend their reach here. The cannon towers that had been built before were also empty. After losing two small teams, the Zhuolu Japanese devils gave up this place which was not worth the effort.

  The guerrilla team came out to do the work, mobilizing the villagers to evacuate into the mountains. So when Li Ying and his group arrived, only the comrades of the guerrilla team were there to greet them. Seeing the armored vehicle, the guerrilla fighters were excited like children on New Year's Day. Li Ying pushed himself away, hiding in a room.

  Li Baoguo took one look at Li Ying's expression and knew something was up. Li Xuehu didn't dare to mess with Li Baoguo, because they had fought before, and Li Baoguo's moves were heavy-handed and merciless. Although his martial arts skills weren't better than Li Xuehu's, when it came to killing people, Li Xueren had warned him repeatedly that from Yang Qian onwards, these few were experts at taking lives, and he absolutely must not provoke them. Knowing where Yang Qian was headed, Li Baoguo actually relaxed and found a place to lie down for a big sleep, so when Li Ying came looking for him, he was still dazed.

  "Aren't you worried about him?" Li Ying asked angrily, looking at Li Baoguo's sleeping face. "Who?" Li Baoguo was taken aback, seeing Li Ying raise her hand to hit herself, and suddenly understood. "Worried? What's there to worry about? Men always have their own business." Li Baoguo responded to her.

  Li Ying sat on one side, no longer speaking, but suddenly scared Li Bao Guo, he was afraid that Li Ying would do this, which meant that Li Ying had made up his mind. He hastily said, "You can't just leave by yourself, when Yang returns and can't find you, I won't be able to bear the responsibility. Besides, you also know Yang's temper, he doesn't want you to join in. I'm guessing, Yang must have come with the devils."
