Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sky is blue and clear, with not a single cloud in sight. The scorching sun pours out its heat without any obstruction, and dry and sultry air rises from the earth.  Except for one or two occasional cold shots in the distance, the surroundings were immersed in silence. It seemed that all sounds had stopped and condensed, just waiting for a big explosion in an instant.

    Meng Youtian sat in the dark tunnel, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.

    Yue Laowu, I understand all your thoughts. I have seen through your internal organs.  As long as you are a little negligent, I can kill you. We have weird landmines and can deceive anyone we want to blow up.  Although the decision was made to focus the attack on Wang Shangrong, Yue Peikun must be made aware of the power and that this is not because there is nothing he can do, but because he is concerned about the safety of the people.  Yes, just to make him come to this conclusion and get rid of his arrogance.

    As for the common people, it is a topic that makes people feel helpless, unbearable to mention, and intentionally vague.  Since we have to fight, there will be sacrifices. We cannot give up resistance and choose to surrender weakly just because the enemy has captured the common people and uses them as a shield.

    "Here we come, the enemy is coming." The militiaman responsible for surveillance reminded excitedly.

    Meng Youtian let out a long breath, stood up, pushed the roof over his head, slowly climbed out, and stuck out the muzzle of his gun on a small dirt bag.

    The enemy's retreating team appeared on the road. As usual, the Imperial Association Army escorted the people to explore the road in front, followed by the large team.  Different from previous marches, this time the retreating Imperial Army troops were placed on both sides of the road, acting as a "meat screen" to block attacks, while dozens of Japanese soldiers marched forward in the middle.

    Yue Peikun was not riding a horse. He was sitting in an inconspicuous livestock cart. He squinted his eyes slightly and remained silent. He didn't know what he was thinking.

    The retreating team had gone five or six miles, and the opponent did not launch a harassment attack, but Yue Peikun did not dare to take it lightly.  The tall, thick crops beside the road were so unsettling, as if deadly bullets could be fired at any time.  And under the feet, the enemy seems to have mastered the method of remote control. This is definitely a frightening nightmare.

    "Not even one attack, that's impossible. We will try our best to choose Japanese soldiers to attack. If there is accidental damage to the Imperial Alliance Army, it is inevitable. I hope that Mr. Yue will keep his word and ensure the safety of the people. If he comes out  On the contrary, I¡¯m sorry, we have to give blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Mr. Yue¡¯s family must have a family. I heard he married a good wife. Also, Mr. Yue should also go out and walk around. It¡¯s easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows.  Headmaster Yue must understand the truth that it is difficult to guard against. There is also another point, to put it crudely, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. You can¡¯t be worried every day about using illegal weapons and assassinations, right? Headmaster Yue is a smart man. He wants his family to be safe.  , if you want to sleep peacefully, then keep your promise"

    Thinking about the message brought back by the people he sent, Yue Peikun gritted his teeth again. This boy named Meng was so bad, so insidious, and so despicable that he actually threatened him in turn.  He was not very afraid of Meng Youtian's harsh words, but he also murmured in his heart that assassination was not impossible.  In this world, no one should pretend to be arrogant, and there is no need to offend your opponent to death for a few old, weak, women and children who are of no great use.

    Yue Peikun has his own creed in life, and because of his suspicious temper, or cunning, although he surrendered to the Japanese, he was not as determined as Wang Shangrong to obey the Japanese.  In other words, Yue Laowu does not work for anyone, and he is just taking advantage of the relationship of being used.  According to ancient Chinese books, Yue Peikun is a rebellious person, and his master must beware of him stabbing him in the back.

    Seeing the Japanese lining up his men outside, Yue Peikun kept his expression and even ordered his subordinates to protect the safety of the imperial army very obediently, but the viciousness in his heart increased a bit.  What they hate is the Japanese. They don't regard us as human beings whether they work hard or not. They are polite when they have value, but when they have no value, they will be thrown away like a rag.

    Yue Peikun¡¯s narrowed eyes shot out a sinister light and he looked around.  The road was like a river valley washed by a sudden flash flood, with criss-crossing ditches everywhere. Looking up, you could see that the endless green gauze tents blocked everything, and there might be black holes of guns aimed at them.

    Damn it, why haven¡¯t you blown up little Japan? Yue Peikun didn¡¯t really believe Meng Youtian¡¯s statement that he could blow up whoever he wanted, but at this moment he was a little hopeful that it would really be the case.  And that old bastard Kato, let the boy named Meng kill him with one shot.

    Not to mention that Yue Peikun was duplicitous, but he cursed little Japan in his heart.  As for Kato, he didn't dare to ride a horse through the city in a ostentatious way. To say that the Japanese are not afraid of death, it depends on the situation.  Being killed by a cold gun for no apparent reason may be more humiliating than traveling in a low profile, and may even cost your life!  This guy pretended to be sick and lay down in the car, while dozens of Japanese soldiers were led by a squad leader.

    The road seemed very peaceful. Kato frowned and thought, could it be thatIn such a long confrontation and attrition, the enemy is also exhausted, lacks ammunition, and is no longer able to fight back?  Or maybe the enemy has a deeper plan and is waiting to attack Wang Shangrong's troops at the rear?  If this happens, how should you deal with it?

    "Bang!" A gunshot suddenly sounded, but Kato didn't have any big reaction.  According to his orders, soldiers can shoot at will when suspicious targets and suspicious signs are found during the march.  He thought his men had discovered some suspicious object and were conducting warning shots.

    "Boom!" A loud noise came, and Kato was startled, and then he realized that the gunshot just now was different from what he thought.  After a slight pause, "Boom, boom, boom" The explosions continued one after another. Looking back, I saw streams of black smoke rising in the marching queue.

    Meng Youtian detonated a mine formation. Almost all the dozen landmines exploded in the Japanese army. The Imperial Army on both sides was also affected. It was quite unlucky!  Amid the screams and exclamations of the enemy, Meng Youtian did not retreat. He loaded the gun and waited for the smoke to clear to see if there was any chance of sniping.  The old devil Kato is hiding somewhere, I hope this attack can draw him out.

    Fierce gunfire sounded from the ground.  After being stunned, the Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Japanese Army rescued the wounded and carried the bodies while firing violently around them, even using grenade launchers.  I saw bullets raining down, gunpowder smoke filling the air, and large tracts of crops near the road were broken and fell amidst the gunfire and explosions.

    Found one, Meng Youtian, who was far away from home, narrowed his eyes, aimed at the Japanese squad leader who was commanding, and gently pulled the trigger.

    In the chaotic sound, Meng Youtian's gunfire was covered up. He liked winning in chaos best. The enemy fell, but his exact position was still unable to be determined.

    The movement of the Japanese squad leader suddenly stopped, he lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest in disbelief, then he fell to the ground with wide eyes, raising a cloud of dust.

    Meng Youtian loaded the gun again, taking advantage of the gap where the enemy's firepower was only raging in the immediate area and had not yet extended far away, and fired another shot.

    The Japs machine gunner was holding the crooked handle and was beating fiercely. The flesh on his face was shaking up and down with the vibration of the gun body.  Amidst the deafening gunshots and explosions, a bullet flew silently and burst into a bloody flower on his chest.  He fell on his back, his fingers still holding the trigger reflexively, and fired the last few bullets into the sky.

    Meng Youtian put away his gun and retreated. After crawling for more than ten meters, he climbed into the tunnel, closed the lid, and fled along the tunnel with the militiamen who responded to him.

    The sound of gunfire and explosions continued. The enemy was confused by this sudden attack. The attacker could hide wherever he was. There were too many hiding places.  They could only fire blindly with the weapons in their hands, but could not see a single figure. Facing an invisible and deadly opponent, one can imagine the fear and panic in the enemy's heart.

    The subordinates quickly came and reported the general situation.  Yue Peikun took a breath, and he really blew up whoever he said. The Japs had suffered a lot of losses. There were more than a dozen dead and wounded, and the squad leader was also dead.  He deserves it. Thinking of that arrogant and domineering squad leader, Yue Peikun was secretly happy.  No matter what, Kato is very kind and polite to himself, but you, the team leader, always speak rudely to me, now you are really embarrassed!  Of course, there were also a few casualties among the Imperial Army, which was inevitable. People had already said it in advance, it was accidental damage!

    Yue Peikun is mentally prepared for this and has a strategy to deal with it, so he will not look back!  With a wink at Qin Chong, Qin Chong nodded understandingly and followed the order.  After a while, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions came from the front.

    Kato rushed to the scene of the attack. Some injured Japanese were lying or sitting on the ground whining and moaning in pain. Several corpses were motionless and bloody.  The surrounding Imperial Army soldiers, as well as the Japanese who were able to stand, were all covered in smoke and dust, with frightened expressions, and some had sluggish and muddy eyes, as if they were worried that this bad luck would befall them too.

    "Baga Yalu!" Kato held the handle of the saber angrily and looked around. He saw green crop fields, yellow mounds, and occasionally a low vegetable field. There was no object to vent his anger on.  The enemy cannot even see his shadow.  A gust of wind blows, and the leaves in the crop fields rustle and the branches and stems sway, and it seems that thousands of troops are hiding, and they will suddenly rush out amidst the shouts.

    The fierce sound of gunfire from the front interrupted Kato's confusion and bewilderment. He didn't know what was going on. Obviously, staying in a daze and delaying here was the stupidest behavior.  He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to collect the corpses quickly, treat the wounded, and then strode forward.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of breath, a small officer from the Imperial Alliance Army ran over and reported: "Taijun, there are enemies blocking the front, and there are quite a few of them.It's like Lao Ba Road's work.  Our leader and his men rushed forward in person. The battle was fierce!  "

    Kato was stunned for a moment and shouted to the orderly beside him: "Go, order Kawaguchi to come up immediately with the imperial army and defeat the hateful enemies in front."

    By the time the acting team leader Kawaguchi rushed forward with dozens of Japanese soldiers, Commander Yue, who "took the lead and charged bravely", had already led his troops to open a "bloody road" and hurried forward.  Moreover, Commander Yue kindly sent someone to tell Kato that the imperial army should rest assured that as long as he was there, the imperial army would not need to take action. All they had to do was follow closely and hurry on their way.

    Instead of seeing through Yue Peikun's tricks, Kato admired Yue Laowu's loyalty and bravery.  Yes, this attempt at a sweep was considered a failure. It is not a pity to see how much the Imperial Alliance Army lost.  But if the casualties of the imperial army were too great, they would inevitably be reprimanded by their superiors.

    When Kato saw the broken crops on the roadside, the craters on the ground, and the scattered bullet casings, he became more convinced that Yue Laowu really led his men through a fierce battle before defeating the enemy.  of blocking.

    Yue Peikun kept moving forward. He was afraid that Kato would make a mistake and direct his troops to look for the enemy, thereby delaying time.  After walking a few miles, you can get on the road, and it will be safe. The opponent may be merciful, or let him understand this through an attack.  No matter what, his men and horses have no injuries and they can run out of this ghost place quickly. They will still be taken seriously by the Japanese.  As for Wang Shangrong, hey, that bastard should just ask for his blessings!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Seeking happiness for oneself is like a stupid pig that has won a prize for Wang Shangrong.  This time he was tricked by Yue Peikun. Not only did he lead his team to the rear, but he also had to keep a distance of two or three miles from Yue Peikun's men.  The reasons Yue Peikun stated to Kato were high-sounding and in line with the essence of the art of war: if you hit the head, the tail will come, and if you hit the tail, the head will come; the two friendly forces responded to each other to support each other, leaving the enemy unable to attack.

    But in fact, Yue Peikun used Wang Shangrong as bait, hoping that his opponent would focus on this weakling and weaken or ignore the blow to him.  From this aspect, his goal was achieved, because the guerrillas and militia brigade really set their sights on Wang Shangrong.

    As soon as Yue Peikun's men and most of the Japanese troops in the sweep passed, the guerrillas and militia teams hiding in the tunnels and in the green gauze tents in the distance approached the road and were ready to attack Wang Shangrong's troops.  Of course, when planning the interception operation, there was no intention to eat up all of Wang Shangrong's troops. The local troops would die if they had a big appetite.

    No matter how stupid Wang Shangrong is, he will still feel depressed, not to mention that he has several clever staff, and they also know that it is very dangerous to stay behind when retreating.  Why do you want to distance yourself? If you seriously allow yourself to be manipulated at this time, wouldn't it be that your brain is flooded?  Therefore, Wang Shangrong also had a rare moment of flexibility. It was true that he set off late, but during the march, he kept ordering the troops to speed up, trying to close the distance with Yue Peikun's troops, and even catch up with the troops in front.

    "It's a pity that Wang Shangrong and his staff had good ideas, but they were just wishful thinking.  Whether it can be accelerated does not depend on their unilateral factors.

    "Boom, boom, boom" Suddenly there was the roar of landmines underfoot, and plumes of black smoke rose in Wang Shangrong's marching column, and the team fell into chaos.  There were panicked counterattacks, shrill wails, and panicked shouts. After a long period of chaos, the attackers were not found, and the team began to move forward again.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Under the orders of Japanese advisers, the Imperial Army launched an attack.  They searched the crop fields for a while, but there was no one there, and they could only see the green gauze tent rustling and shaking in the distance.  They did not know the enemy's situation and were worried about being ambushed, so they had to shoot randomly and then turned back to the main road to report to the Japanese advisers.

    After walking for a while, there was an attack, either a landmine or a cold shot.  Under constant harassment and attacks, Wang Shangrong's troops were simply dreaming about speeding up.  As a result, an interesting scene appeared. Yue Laowu's troops were "valiantly" moving forward, but Wang Shangrong's troops were struggling. Instead of getting closer, the distance between the two teams continued to widen.

    After five or six miles, the Imperial Alliance Army under Wang Shangrong became trapped and embarrassed, all of them were disgraced and frightened.  Those with poor physical fitness are even more unbearable. Surrounded by the scorching sun and the choking yellow dust, the equipment on their backs is getting heavier and heavier, and the psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger. They just bite the bullet and continue on their way, eager to escape this world full of people.  Dangerous land.

    "Snap hook", a sudden gunshot rang out, and the Japanese consultant fell down from the mule. This person did not know how to die.The guy finally fell to the sniper's cold gun.

    Hidden in the green gauze tent, Xiao Man tightened his mouth, pulled the bolt of the gun, loaded the gun, and aimed at the next target.

    "The Taijun has been beaten to death, the Taijun has been beaten to death." The Imperial Army soldiers exclaimed, but when many people looked at the corpse of the Japanese consultant, their eyes showed indifference and gloating.  The little Japanese who bullied them, beat and scolded them deserved to die!

    "Crack", mixed in with the gunfire of the enemy's blind shooting, a bullet flew over, and an officer of the Royal Association Army holding a pistol fell down.

    Wang Shangrong had been pulled off his horse long ago and his clothes had been changed. The seven disobedient and eight dissatisfied expressions that he used to show off his power had disappeared. Under the protection of some personal guards, his eyes shone with fear.

    "Captain, the situation is not good!" A staff member gasped and said nervously: "We are walking around like this, getting further and further away from the troops in front. Don't expect Yue Laowu to turn around and save us.  We have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. The enemies pursuing us are getting closer and closer, and it will be dangerous if we continue like this."

    "Then, what do you think we should do?" Wang Shangrong no longer looked arrogant, his eyes kept blinking like a frightened rabbit.

    "I'm afraid I don't have much to worry about at this time." The aide gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Order the troops not to stop, not to fight back, and to move forward quickly regardless of casualties. Only in this way can the enemy's harassment attacks not delay our troops.  But if you can't make up your mind and continue to entangle like this, you will fall into the enemy's trick and give them time to surround you."

    Surrounded?  Wang Shangrong swallowed hard, this was really a scary prospect.  He was a ruthless and unjust person, and had little sympathy for the soldiers under his command. The constant casualties made him frightened. He just wanted to leave here quickly, and he couldn't care about others.  (To be continued)
