Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2240 Divine weapons descended from heaven!

  Boom, boom, boom!

Just when Sun Lao Hu and a group of villagers were in despair, a group of people suddenly appeared on the top of the cliff. They set up machine guns on the top of the cliff and opened fire on the Japanese who were chasing Sun Lao Hu and his companions.

The dense firepower caught the Japanese who were chasing them off guard in an instant.

They frantically sought cover, trying to avoid the sudden burst of gunfire.

However, the enemy's machine gun fire was too fierce. Within just half a minute, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The remaining Japanese soldiers could only retreat back into the woods in a panic to avoid the sudden machine gun fire.

The Japanese soldiers were still in shock because they were almost dead.

Some Japanese soldiers hurried to report to Kitahara Hiroyuki, but at this time, Kitahara Hiroyuki had already heard the gunshots in front.

At first he thought it was his men shooting at the villagers, but as he listened he realized something was wrong.

He walked forward quickly, but received a report from the troops in the front saying that unidentified armed forces were shooting at them using the weapons of the Imperial Army, and the vanguard troops had suffered heavy casualties.

Kitahara Hiroyuki was both happy and surprised when he heard the report.

What surprised him was that the enemy had an ambush and that there was another exit from Evil Ridge.

He was happy that he had found the traces of the guerrillas. This was a major discovery for them, as long as they could delay the guerrillas, they could catch them all in one fell swoop.

And thanks to the people from Sunjia Village, if they hadn't chased these people, the guerrillas would have run away by now.

They had always believed that Evil Ridge was a dead valley. Who would have thought there would be another exit? If they hadn't pursued and massacred the villagers, wouldn't the guerrillas have escaped?

So Kitahara Hiroyuki immediately ordered his devils to divide into several small teams, and shoot at the guerrillas on the cliff and the villagers who were climbing the cliff from different positions, in order to prevent the villagers of Sunjia Village and the guerrillas from evacuating.

At the same time, he ordered the signalman to immediately send a telegram to Kujo Miyakita to tell him the great news.

Sure enough, when Kujo Miyakita received the news, he was very excited because he finally found the guerrillas.

But he didn't expect that there was another exit from Evil Ridge.

He and Nakajima said as they marched quickly, "It seems that we can't fight a war just by relying on maps. We need to investigate on the spot. If we hadn't chased those villagers, the guerrillas would have escaped."

"Kujo-kun is absolutely right."

Nakajima first confirmed what Kujo Miyakita said, and then said: "I think we need to send a telegram to General Takeda and report this situation to him. The enemy has jumped out of the Evil Man Ridge. If my guess is correct, they may go north."

Kujo Miyakita asked back: "Why?"

Nakajima said: "If there is a small guerrilla force in the Port Arthur area, the Japanese Imperial Army's sweep would be like punching the air. The guerrillas are few in number, and it would be very difficult to capture them.

But if this army is very strong, it is another matter. Just like the Fourth Army before. Why did they risk so much sacrifice to go north? The reason is that they are too many. As long as we surround them, they can't escape. "

Jiujo Miyakita was still puzzled and said: "The number of guerrillas now is not large, so why do they want to follow the example of the Fourth Army and go north?"

Nakajima frowned and said, "Because he is an excellent commander. He should have realized long ago that the location of Port Arthur is not suitable for the development and growth of the troops. He is very ambitious, so even if we don't come to raid, I think he will choose to leave here."

Jiujo Miyakita nodded and said, "He is that kind of person, so I think what you said is right. Send a telegram to Uncle Takeda and ask him to set up checkpoints at Panlong Temple and Houjia Mountain to intercept them immediately."

"Hi!"

Nakajima received the order and immediately called a Japanese communications officer to send a telegram. He continued to follow Kujo Miyakita to protect him and moved closer to Kitahara Hiroyuki. At this time, all the heavy weapons were left behind, and the vehicles stopped outside Sunjia Village.

So even Kujo Miyakita could only move his two legs and run with the other devils.

Jiujo Gongbei was running out of breath, but his face was full of joy, because he could see the man he had been thinking about day and night again, even if it was just to talk to him.

But obviously, Duanwu was not in this mood at the moment.

It was he who returned with more than thirty guerrillas.

The reason was that he heard the sound of artillery fire from the direction of Sunjia Village and knew something had happened, so he returned with more than 30 people, including Long Qianyan.

And as expected, Sunjia Village was massacred by the Japanese and the villagers were climbing up the cliff.

There were Japanese soldiers chasing him from behind, so Duanwu immediately led his men to repel the Japanese.

But at this time, the situation was still not optimistic. The villagers were too slow, and they were harassed by the Japanese. Seven or eight villagers were shot and fell off the cliff.

Duanwu frowned slightly, looked at Long Qianyan and said, "Order the artillery to prepare and fully cover the enemy with firepower."

Long Qianyan said with difficulty: "Leader Ye, we don't have many shells left."

Duanwu said helplessly: "If the shells are gone, we can get more, but if lives are lost, then they are really gone. Now is not the time to feel sorry for those shells. Let's fight. As long as we can save more people, everything will be worth it."

At this point, Duanwu said to Li Ergou, "Go and tell the villagers to speed up. We are running out of ammunition. If we can't stop the devils, all the villagers below the cliff will die."

"Yes!"

Li Ergou took the order and quickly went to find the villagers in Sunjia Village.

At this time, a middle-aged woman was directing the operation. She was Sun Lao Hu's wife. Since Sun Lao Hu was not around, she had to take over the responsibility.

"who?"

As soon as Li Ergou appeared, he was questioned by the village guards.

"Guerrillas, come and talk to your manager."

Li Ergou replied breathlessly, and at this time Sun Lao Hu's wife also heard it and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "He is from the guerrillas, helping us, let him come over."

The guards made way, and Li Ergou ran to Sun Lao Hu's wife and said, "Our leader Ye asked me to tell you that the guerrillas are running out of ammunition. We must speed up the people in the village. Otherwise, if we run out of bullets and the Japanese rush up, everyone below will die!"

"what?"

When Sun Lao Hu's wife heard this, she was shocked because Sun Lao Hu was still down there.

She quickly ordered, "Go and tell the villagers to speed up. Tell them that the guerrillas are risking their lives to buy us time. Tell them to climb as fast as they can."

"Yes!"

A guard responded and went to pass on the message.

  At this time, Li Ergou secretly gave a thumbs up. He was really afraid that the middle-aged woman in front of him would tell the truth, then the people under the cliff would be in chaos!
