Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

"Chen Dalei, you really f*cking think you can win. I have already arranged secret lines around you. They will turn against you and kill all your relatives soon!"

As soon as Li Gensheng finished speaking, shouting and cursing were heard outside the courtyard gate, which made Chen Dalei so angry that he vomited blood twice more.

"Li Erniu, you son of a bitch, how dare you attack me! You actually defected to Li Gensheng, it's a waste of my kindness to you!"

"Fuck you, you've been so good to me. You've been stealing my fried noodles every day. I've already written you down in my little notebook. Today I finally have a chance to take revenge!"

"Ah, stop fighting, I surrender, don't kill me!"

After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting outside the courtyard gate, it ended hastily. Chen Dalei's confidants were completely wiped out, and Li Gensheng showed a victorious smile on his face.

Chen Dalei silently said in his heart, "Hello, brothers," and then he detonated the grenade on his body and crawled desperately to Li Gensheng. Li Gensheng fired desperately with his pistol, but no bullet came out. He watched Chen Dalei grab his legs, and he quickly kicked Chen Dalei with his feet, shouting loudly: "Damn it, come and save me quickly, Chen Dalei, you son of a bitch, you want to die with me!"

Chen Dalei smiled and spat out blood as he said, "If you are not afraid of death, come in. I have explosives and grenades tied to my body. Remember, you only have one life. If the battalion commander dies, you can take over, but if you die, it will be in vain!"

"Damn it, if you don't save me, I'm going to shoot you to death as long as I survive!"

This shouting and cursing directly ended Li Gensheng's last chance of life. The puppet soldiers who were about to rush in to rescue him also stopped. They stayed away from the yard, listening to the shouting and cursing that was gradually getting smaller. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a huge explosion. The house in the yard collapsed directly, burying the two men. The surviving puppet soldiers were scared and fled in all directions, avoiding the flying dirt.

Lin Zhenhua, who was on his way, heard a loud explosion and hurriedly ordered his troops to stop and sent Li Sanwa forward to investigate.

"Everyone dismount and prepare for battle!"

"Captain Lin, I'm Duan Peng. Don't shoot. The explosion just now came from Duanjiazhuang. Please hurry over and rescue the villagers!"

Hearing Duan Peng's cry, Lin Zhenhua ordered his men to lay down their weapons and gave another order: "Everyone get on your horses immediately and rush to Duanjiazhuang as quickly as possible. Engage in battle immediately. If the puppet soldiers dare to resist, they will be shot on the spot!"

"Duan Peng, you just wait here and come back to the manor in half an hour. We are going to fight the puppet army next and we don't have the energy to protect you. This is a turtle box for you to defend yourself! If the battle ends early, I will let Li Sanwa come to call you, you kid, hurry up and hide!"

Lin Zhenhua led five squads of soldiers and quickly rushed to the outside of Duanjiazhuang. He arranged one squad to guard the horses, and the rest of the soldiers were equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns and rushed into the village.

"Everyone listen up. After entering the village, if you encounter resistance from the puppet army, open fire immediately. Don't argue with them. If they show the slightest sign of resistance, just shoot them. Put your own safety first and don't be afraid of wasting bullets!"

"Squad one will attack from the left, squad two will attack from the right, and the remaining two squads will follow me and attack from the front."

"Comrades, come after me!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's command, the soldiers launched a raid on Duanjiazhuang from three directions.

Lin Zhenhua was moving forward cautiously with a submachine gun in his hand. Suddenly, a puppet soldier came running from the alley like a rabbit. Lin Zhenhua immediately pulled the trigger. A volley of bullets whizzed towards the puppet soldier, turning him into a sieve.

"You son of a bitch, you're playing dirty and trying to knock me down. I'll let you taste the power of a submachine gun!"

The sounds of submachine guns and machine guns rang out one after another. Lin Zhenhua immediately changed the magazine, pointed the gun forward, and continued searching in the village.

In the back yard next to the puppet army camp headquarters.

"Deputy battalion commander, let's surrender. The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce. In just a short while, more than 20 of our brothers have died. Now we only have more than 130 brothers left. Those who just came in are a small group of elite troops from the Eighth Route Army, and there must be a large force following them. By then, none of us will survive!" Li Gousheng advised earnestly.

Deputy Battalion Commander Li Tianlai spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said unwillingly, "Damn it, I'm about to become the battalion commander, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army came to my door. I'm such a coward! Don't act in front of me. You usually run the fastest, but today you suggested that I surrender. You don't want to hand me over as a token of your loyalty, and then stay with the Eighth Route Army for some time and come back. You just sold me out. Tell me the truth, is this what you are thinking?"

Li Gousheng didn't expect that at this critical moment, Li Tianlai's suspicious habit still hadn't changed. He sighed helplessly: "Brother Tianlai, we are cousins, how can I harm you? There are only two options before us. Either we fight with the Eighth Route Army, and our lives will be in jeopardy. Or we escape from behind the village and run directly into the mountains. But now the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Whether we can survive in the end depends on luck!"

Li Tianlai sat down on the ground and muttered loudly, "I will never surrender to the Eighth Route Army even if I die. We have done so many bad things in the past. Even if we join the Eighth Route Army, we will probably die. You bring our old things with you. I will take you into the mountains behind the village to find a way to survive. Don't forget to bring some dry food when you leave!"

"Brother, I'll make arrangements right away. I'll also notify Li Gou'er to have this guy lead the others to hold the line. This will buy us time to escape!"

Upon receiving the order, the puppet army company commander Li Gouer led the remaining 80 people and used the four light machine guns from the two battalions to block the entrance. In order to reduce casualties, Lin Zhenhua did not order a strong attack. Instead, he fought an ammunition attrition war with the puppet army, firing thousands of bullets but failing to kill a single enemy. Li Gouer also consumed tens of thousands of bullets and did not achieve any results, but he bought time for Li Tianlai to escape, allowing them to successfully escape into the mountains.

"Comrades, don't show your heads. We have time to waste with this bunch of puppet soldiers. Half of the villagers have been rescued. Next, we will compete with this bunch of puppet soldiers in terms of ammunition consumption. I want to see how many bullets these damn puppet soldiers have!"

"Put up all the submachine guns. If the puppet soldiers dare to show their heads, hit them hard. Throw a few grenades if you have time. Even if you can't blow them up, scare them half to death. Don't let these puppet soldiers have any time!"
