Chapter Thirty-Six: Blocking and Killing
The crescent moon is gradually sloping to the west, under the faint moonlight, a large area of rape flowers are gently swaying in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance. If Ouyang Yun was just a traveler, if the world was at peace now, he would be delighted to find a secluded place to enjoy this gift from nature.
Unfortunately, he is a traveler with a mission, and this world is under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, crying.
Ouyang Yun's special forces career was not like what many people imagined, at least in the eyes of his comrades. This kid was a bit of an oddball. People who were soldiers, especially those with extremely high-intensity training like special forces, had their faces tense all year round because training took up almost all their energy and physical strength. They didn't have the mood or energy to smile or be gentle, and over time, they would develop sharp facial features and naturally exude a killer aura!
These, Ou Yang Yun's body didn't have. He was able to enter the Special Forces Brigade entirely because of his extraordinary needlework skills, which were actually forced upon him by his grandfather who had hoped he would take over his acupuncture business. But no one could have predicted that while his acupuncture techniques never quite worked out, his needlework skills turned out to be a natural talent.
After entering Harbin Institute of Technology, this gradually became his trademark and also a reserved performance project for Harbin Institute of Technology to welcome superior inspections. In a very accidental opportunity, he was favored by General Chen who came to inspect Harbin Institute of Technology, General Chen waved his hand, Ou Yang Yun graduated first as a medical soldier, then entered the special forces brigade...
In the eyes of his comrades, no matter how hard the training was, no matter how harsh the environment was, Xiao Ouyang's face always had a smile on it, and his nonsense chatter was also familiar to everyone. Many times, when everyone finished training and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, if they couldn't hear his out-of-tune singing or loud laughter, they would feel a sense of emptiness in their hearts.
It's precisely because of this that Ouyang Yun, in the eyes of the team leaders, is a special soldier who will never be qualified, always thinking that this kid has some mental problems, which also destined him to be controlled by fate...
In the battle plan he and Li Tieh-sheng had drawn up, the rear gate was an oversight. The Japanese army at present is overconfident, from top to bottom they all think that the Chinese army is weak and vulnerable, and when fighting they are quite arrogant and domineering. They originally thought that the little devils would definitely choose to launch a strong attack from the front gate, so they designed such a tight pocket near the front gate.
They didn't know that the little devil's visit was not just for revenge, but mainly to retrieve the "Contribution Gold" related to the imperial army's face. Therefore, in order to prevent them from escaping with the gold, they would make such arrangements.
Sakai Takashi did not think that his seemingly foolproof night raid plan would end in defeat due to their division.
The student army had laid in ambush at the main gate with two to three hundred people, and was equipped with mortars and searchlights. Don't underestimate the searchlights, in a night battle, as long as they are used properly, their effectiveness can sometimes be equivalent to a platoon of soldiers.
Ouyang Yun was well aware of the strength of the Japanese army and the weakness of the student troops. After learning that the Japanese army had divided its forces, in order to ensure the tightness of the main gate pocket, he could only take a risk and send only a reconnaissance squad to defend the back door. On the one hand, it was too late to redeploy, on the other hand, relying on his bulletproof vest, he was confident that he could delay the Japanese army at the back door long enough before the Japanese army at the main gate was completely annihilated.
In the previous wilderness survival training, marching in the wild at night was a common occurrence. Ouyang Yun bowed his head and ran quickly along the ridge between the vegetable fields, soon finding the large Japanese army heading towards the back door.
In the plan formulated by the Japanese General Staff, in order to prevent the student army from escaping through the back door, Kamei's unit of Japanese troops would not bring any heavy weapons other than two light machine guns for the sake of marching speed.
Guī Jǐng led his troops to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, and they marched in a straight line through the vegetable fields and wheat fields. All Japanese soldiers wore fur-lined boots, and for a time, only the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard.
As the sound of gunfire and explosions came from the main gate, the Japanese army's advance speeded up - Kamei thought Ishikawa had already started attacking, thinking that he must not let the students escape from the back door - this gave Ouyang Yun enough space to launch a sneak attack.
The first to be unlucky was a Japanese deputy shooter carrying machine gun bullets at the back of the team. This little devil was running with a humming sound, suddenly, a figure rushed out from the oilseed rape less than two meters behind him.
Ouyang Yun moved quickly, swiftly approaching him from behind, her left hand holding a steel needle inserted into his neck, her body simultaneously sticking to him, her right hand passing through his armpit, supporting the bullet box.
The deputy sheriff felt like he had been bitten by a mosquito on his neck and then lost consciousness.
Ouyang Yun gently put him down, his right hand pulled out a military dagger and stabbed it into his neck, his left hand pulled out a steel needle, and then he rushed into the rape field.
Now, the two Japanese soldiers walking at the back of the team, one carrying a machine gun and the other carrying bullets. They followed the main force out for more than 50 meters, and the bullet-carrying unconscious turned back to take a look, didn't see Ketsujo who fell behind, first stunned, then shouted to the machine gun-carrying: "Nagahiro, where is Ketsujo?"
"Is he gone ahead?" Chang Ping asked, looking back.
"No, he's always behind."
At this time, Ouyang Yun was hiding in the oilseed rape field about five meters behind them. He heard their conversation and suddenly had an idea. He deliberately made a noise with the oilseed rape beside him, then muttered vaguely in Japanese: "I'm here."
Changping laughed and said: "Jiecheng, you little devil must have eaten something bad?" He still thought Jiecheng was going to the bathroom.
"Ah!" Ou Yang Yun let out a perfectly timed cry of surprise.
"What's wrong?" said Gangzi, walking over.
"Hey, I'll go first, you guys hurry up and follow." He didn't suspect that it might be the enemy's doing, nor was it surprising. They had been walking for so long, not a single ghostly figure appeared nearby, while in the not-so-distant barracks of the student army, except for the brightly lit entrance, the inside was eerily quiet with only a few white incandescent lamps shining.
"Are you okay, Jiecheng?" he asked, trampling a few stalks of rape. He was less than two meters away from where Ouyang Yun's voice came from. He was quite alert and sensed that something was off - there were several fallen stalks of rape, but no one was around. "Jiecheng, are you..." He wanted to ask "where are you", but before he could finish his sentence, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and then everything went black.
Of course, he knew nothing anymore. After being knocked unconscious by the steel needle, what awaited him was a military dagger piercing his neck, reaping away his life.
Changping followed the main force and walked more than 100 meters forward. He turned his head to look back, only to find that Hao San was carrying bullets alone behind him.
He didn't know that this Hao San was no longer the same Hao San, and seeing that Jie Cheng hadn't followed up, he found it strange. He stopped and wanted to ask what had happened.
Ouyang Yun deliberately pressed the brim of his hat down low, holding a bullet box half in front of his face to block half of it. He saw Zhang Ping stop and pucker up the corner of his mouth, then rushed over at an extremely fast speed. When he was still twenty meters away from the other person, he deliberately gasped for breath and said in a hoarse voice: "It's no good, it's no good!"
Chang Ping was shocked and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Where is Jie?"
Ouyang Yun was running, about ten meters away from him, when he suddenly tripped and fell forward, the bullet box also flying out.
Chang Ping felt that Hao San was a bit strange now, and when he saw him fall, he hurriedly said: "Be careful!"
The bullet box fell to the ground, but Ou Yang Yun quickly scrambled up and rushed towards him. He felt something was off, when suddenly a flash of silver light appeared in front of him, and he fell forward, losing consciousness.
At the moment Ou Yang Yun fell, he flung out a steel needle with his hand, which shot accurately into his face.
The ammunition box fell to the ground with a loud noise, startling many Japanese soldiers who were rushing forward. Many of them stopped and turned around, then they saw in surprise that one of their comrades was standing up from the ground, holding a machine gun and walking slowly towards them with the muzzle pointing at them. Some of them were about to ask questions when gunfire broke out, and dazzling flames flashed from the muzzle!
After Ou Yang Yun took care of Hao San, he realized that it would be extremely difficult to make another sneak attack, so he set his sights on the heavy machine gun at Chang Ping. The main force of the Japanese army still didn't know what was happening behind them; if a heavy machine gun were to suddenly start firing from their rear...the outcome could be imagined.
Ouyang Yun is cunning and ruthless, at least many little devils think so. He hugged the machine gun and swept the unarmed Japanese army, while shouting in Japanese to paralyze the enemy. What he expressed in Japanese was: I miss my lover, I miss my mother, I want to go home!
This made many Japanese soldiers think they were killed by their own people, and died with their eyes open; some devils thought he was crazy, and hesitated what to do when facing a crazy comrade, as a result, those who were unwilling were decided by Ouyang Yun's machine gun bullets - since you can't bear to kill him, then go die!
After Ou Yang Yun killed Hao San, he took five magazines from the ammunition box and put them on his body for standby. Six magazines were fired, and half of the Japanese army fell down. The others, under the command of Guan Qi, finally came to their senses, scrambled to find a place to hide, and began to shoot at him. But by this time, Ou Yang Yun had already thrown away the machine gun and jumped into the vegetable field.
The Japanese army was still over 200 meters away from the rear gate, and more than half of them had already been killed or wounded. Kamei looked at the corpses on the ground, the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, his eyes blazing with anger, his face flushed with blood, and he cursed two sentences before issuing a stern order: "Lieutenant General Hong Cheng, you take a few people to guard the rear of the troops, and the others follow me to launch an attack from the rear gate!"
"Hey!" Lieutenant General Fong Cheng stood with his feet together, bowed his head and responded loudly. Then he raised his head, just about to execute the command, but saw Kamei's head suddenly burst open like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground, and was shocked to tremble all over, subconsciously shouting: "Enemy attack!" Immediately followed by a beautiful tactical forward roll, he was already prone on the ground, pulling out his pistol to aim and fire.
The other Japanese soldiers immediately fell down and started firing their guns with a "bang bang" sound.
About forty meters away from the oilseed rape field, Ouyang Yun had already lain down on the ground after completing a small-scale beheading operation. He blew off the gunpowder smoke at the muzzle and felt very distressed about the dum-dum bullet he had just fired. Nothing else, he only had four of these bullets in total, which were kept as collectibles on his body, and using one less would naturally make him feel distressed.
Kamei's death, and the manner in which he died, planted a seed of cowardice in the hearts of those formerly proud Imperial soldiers.
Kamei's death made Toyoshima the highest-ranking officer in this small Japanese army unit. It had to be admitted that the tactical literacy and combat capability of the Japanese military officers were very strong. Toyoshima quickly analyzed the battlefield situation in his mind and immediately made what he thought was the correct decision. The gunfire at the front gate had already become sparse, and he believed that Ishikawa Taisha had won a victory. Therefore, this Chinese soldier hiding beside them just wanted to delay their time to cut off the back door. He then ordered everyone to launch an attack on the back door immediately, regardless of the disturbance around him.
His decision made Ouyang Yun feel quite depressed. Originally, he still wanted to test himself and see if he could eliminate all the little devils here with his own strength. Now, the Japanese didn't care about him, although it made his assassination proceed without any excitement. However, his "lone army fighting" plan was also ruined.
Perhaps they were all a little apprehensive about the ghostly figure lurking behind them, so the remaining fifty or so little devils, regardless of whether they were injured or not, launched a fierce attack on the rear gate under Feng Cheng's leadership. The distance of over 200 meters was covered in one charge, and under the bright moonlight, it seemed that there was no defense at all at the rear gate. Feng Cheng and his men were overjoyed, thinking that Ishikawa had already eliminated most of the students. Facing the wooden door of the barracks, a Japanese soldier kicked it open with one foot, then charged in first, shouting loudly, followed by the other Japanese soldiers who swarmed in - within this distance of over 200 meters, six more of them fell to the ground. Perhaps in their view, as long as they entered the barracks, they would be safe - wasn't the ghostly figure able to carry out its sneak attack because it was hidden behind the vegetable garden?
