Chapter 184 The Remnants of the Demon
Chapter 184 The Remnants of the Demon
Lu Yao had already sensed that it was already dark.
Lighting a fire in the middle of the woods would be too conspicuous.
So he secretly instructed Zhang Yuanchao, Xiao Liuzi, and two other militiamen to lie in wait at four corners, fifty paces away from the fire.
It shouts when it sees someone coming.
Zhang Yuanchao was in charge of the northwest corner.
He sat under a pine tree, wrapped tightly in his cotton-padded coat, and squatted down, holding his gun.
After the meat was grilled, everyone ate their share as they continued their journey.
Just then, two furtive figures suddenly appeared.
He held his gun and approached the campfire.
One of them was wearing a tiger skin.
The other person was wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat.
They didn't notice Zhang Yuanchao hiding under the tree. They passed him twenty meters to the right and headed towards the light of the campfire.
And they set up the gun.
Just as Zhang Yuanchao roared, the enemy fired a shot.
No one else was hit, but the big, cocky Liu Dameng was shot in the shoulder and fell down.
It was Zhang Yuanchao's shout that alerted the two ambushers; otherwise, that shot would have blown Liu Dameng's head off.
Immediately, the militia opened fire.
The two people turned and ran.
Zhang Yuanchao fired from the side.
A man was shot in the leg.
He shouted: "いたい"
He called out again, "Baka Yarou."
He raised his hand and fired at Zhang Yuanchao.
Zhang Yuanchao quickly hid.
Not only did they have to dodge enemy bullets, but they also had to dodge bullets fired by the militia from the other side of the campfire.
So he simply lay down in the snow and didn't move.
While Mei Ping and her men returned fire, Lu Yao had already detoured to the northeast and, in the darkness, slid diagonally forward with his gun.
Xiao Liuzi was on this side, following Lu Yao to outflank the enemy from the rear.
In the darkness, two people appeared ahead, one helping the other quickly back away.
Upon seeing Lu Yao and Xiao Liuzi, the other party called out:
「だれ」
Lu Yao could understand it; it was Japanese!
Without saying a word, he simply approached.
He raised his hand and fired a shot.
The man who was helping the lame man spurted blood from his forehead, and the two of them fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hit!"
Xiao Liuzi cheered and jumped over.
"Don't go there yet."
Lu Yao wanted to warn Xiao Liu to be careful. Before he could finish his sentence...
"Bang"
Another gunshot rang out from deep within the forest.
Xiao Liu was knocked to the ground.
Lu Yao rolled on the spot and then raised his hand to fire three shots at the source of the gunshot.
They vanished instantly deep into the woods.
At this moment, Mei Ping and her men had already pressed forward.
Shine the flashlight.
One of the two strangers was lying on the ground groaning, while the other had already been shot in the head with a Mauser pistol.
Xiao Liu was hit in the thigh and couldn't stand up.
Mei Ping ordered her men to point guns at the man wearing a tiger skin:
"Tell me, how many of you are there? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. You need to understand the situation..."
The man in the tiger-skin coat remained silent.
He clutched the gunshot wound on his leg.
Lu Yao picked up the man's Type 99 rifle with a 4x scope and slung it over his shoulder. Then he drew his dagger, pulled the man's hand away, and with a "thud," the dagger pierced the man's gun barrel.
With his scream, he twisted his wrist:
"Tell me, who exactly are you people?"
Mei Ping frowned as she looked at it:
"Lu Yao, you can't treat prisoners like this!"
Lu Yao paid no heed to her scolding.
He pulled out the dagger and stabbed it again, right into the bone.
It twists and turns back and forth.
The man was in so much pain that he cried.
He just wouldn't speak.
Mei Ping came over and pushed Lu Yao:
"You're insane!"
Lu Yao angrily said, "You all go and keep watch! They have accomplices, and this guy is a Japanese collaborator!"
"What?"
Mei Ping also seemed to have heard Japanese just now.
However, I'm not sure.
Zhang Yuanchao led several militiamen to the outer perimeter for guard duty.
Lu Yao saw that this guy was still stubbornly holding on.
He grinned maliciously, "Fine, let's see how stubborn you are!"
The dagger made several sharp cuts, eventually tearing out a piece of the guy's kneecap, which was bleeding profusely!
Then Lu Yao grabbed his other leg:
"If you don't tell me, we'll have to try again!"
Mei Ping and Wang Kun repeatedly reprimanded Lu Yao for being so cruel.
A few hits are fine, but to cripple someone is against the rules!
"Waaah... I... I'll say it..."
This guy isn't unable to speak Mandarin.
Under Lu Yao's extreme questioning, he had no choice but to speak.
Although the language is clumsy, it can still be explained clearly.
He said there were four of them, all from the Kwantung Army.
He refused to return home after the defeat and stayed in the mountains.
For the past twenty years, he has made a living by hunting.
Lu Yao plunged a knife into his bone:
"Still dare to lie?"
"Wow, I wasn't lying..."
The man in his fifties broke down in tears.
Zhao Jianguo quickly rushed over and snatched the dagger from Lu Yao:
"What are you doing? You're so vicious! He already told me."
Lu Yao retorted angrily, "Are you sure he's telling the truth?"
"That's still too cruel..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old soldier sitting on the ground suddenly grabbed the dagger in Zhao Jianguo's hand and slashed his own neck with it.
The military dagger was so sharp that it instantly severed the carotid artery.
Blood spurted out.
The crowd around him remained silent, watching him convulse and die.
Zhao Jianguo looked at Lu Yao: "You have to take responsibility!"
Lu Yao didn't have time to argue with him.
Looking at Mei Ping:
"I don't believe this guy. If there were only four of them, they wouldn't have the guts to come over and fire."
At this moment, the burly Liu Dameng rushed up.
He was shot in the shoulder, but the bullet grazed him, causing only a superficial wound.
He came over and started kicking the corpse of the man wearing a tiger skin.
"I'll teach you to shoot me in the back! I'll whip your corpse with my own..."
Mei Ping snapped, "Calm down, everyone!"
Just as I was about to analyze the current situation again, another gunshot rang out from deep in the forest.
Too far away to hit anyone.
Mei Ping angrily shouted, "Lu Yao, you stay here and look after the wounded! The rest of you, come with me! Chase them!"
They chased after the direction in which the gunshot had just been fired.
Lu Yao quickly called out, "Don't chase after them!"
Nobody listened to him.
As soon as one of the militiamen stopped, Wang Kun grabbed him:
"No retreating! Disobeying orders will result in immediate execution!"
Holy crap, what a bunch of brutes!
Going to the battlefield would mean certain death!
Bullets don't have eyes!
Lu Yao had no choice but to shout, "Turn off your flashlight! Don't reveal your location!"
No sooner had he shouted than a militiaman was shot in the wrist.
Everyone quickly turned off their flashlights, but continued to follow Mei Ping in pursuit of the person who had fired the shot.
Lu Yao was originally going to go too, but when he saw that Xiao Liu was covering his thigh and blood was flowing from between his fingers, he realized that the blood was flowing continuously.
We had no choice but to stop.
They carried him back to the campfire.
Upon inspection, no arteries were damaged.
He asked him, "Brother, can you bear it? I'll help you remove the bullet and use burns to stop the bleeding?"
Xiao Liu felt pain as soon as he heard it.
Nevertheless, she nodded resolutely: "Yes! Company Commander, you can do it!"
Lu Yao took the dagger and heated it over the fire.
Then they quickly cut open his pants and dug out the bullet.
They ignored Xiao Liu's cries and used fire to stop the bleeding.
Then take out the bandages you have with you and bandage it up.
Reach out and pat him on the shoulder:
"Brother, you can enjoy your roe deer meat here. I have to catch up, or that woman Mei Ping will ruin our brotherhood!"
"Go ahead, Company Commander, I'm fine!"
Xiao Liuzi wasn't very capable, but he had a tough personality.
He sat down by the fire, holding his gun.
Watching Lu Yao disappear into the darkness.
