My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

The generals below were also helpless after receiving such an order. In order to avoid committing seppuku to apologize, they could only issue the same tough order.

This made things difficult for the lower-level Japanese pirates' soldiers. They could only continue searching. Although their results improved as the encirclement narrowed, they were able to kill a few guerrillas from time to time.

However, they were never able to find the main force, and the casualties of the Japanese pirates increased exponentially.

Apart from the Japanese pirates who were killed by the Taoist soldiers, there were many more who became ill due to long-term fatigue and had no choice but to lie dead in temporary hospitals.

As luck would have it, a Taoist soldier named Zhao Tianci was left alone and accidentally stumbled into this field hospital.

And this time he got a huge advantage. He saw the soldier taking advantage of the night and quietly coming to the tent of the field hospital.

Then he summoned the evil spirits from his magic weapon, and then these evil spirits started from the edge and sucked the spirits of these Japanese pirates as if no one was around.

The Japanese pirates, who had committed so many evil things, were already on the verge of death and had no power to resist. Anyone who was targeted would quietly return to see their emperor.

Once their vitality is sucked away, their filthy souls cannot escape either, and are directly eaten alive by those evil spirits, without even a chance to reincarnate.

When the medical staff saw the pale faces and sunken eye sockets of the dead, they thought it was caused by illness.

At first, Zhao Tianci was still cautious, afraid of being noticed, so he only dared to attack dozens of people every day. But as time went on, seeing that no one noticed, he attacked more and more frequently.

From 100 people to 150 people, then to 200 people, 250 people... and finally it even went on all night long.

When the medical staff realized something was wrong, they tried to take action, but it seemed too late, because at this time the nine ghosts under Zhao Tianci had all reached the level of ghost generals.

The Japanese pirates in the entire field hospital had absolutely no way to deal with them. After a night of madness, all of them were lying on the ground in a neat row.

It was this wave of nutrients that allowed the nine ghost generals under Zhao Tianci to become even stronger and reach the late stage of ghost generals. They were only one step away from becoming ghost kings and dominating an area.

As for the Japanese pirates, when they learned that all their patients had died, they were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and they were all filled with indignation.

It was as if they had come thousands of miles to China and committed countless murders and arson, and now they were being killed by people who treated them like pigs and dogs, which was unacceptable.

However, no matter how angry they were, they were still unable to rage and could not effectively kill many guerrillas. Instead, large numbers of people continued to be killed and injured for no reason.

But this did not stop Koji Ikeda's determination, because according to the intelligence from all parties during this period, he knew that these damn rats had been squeezed into a very small area.

As long as they hold on a little longer, they can kill all these rats.

However, they did not know that this was a gamble for the guerrillas, to cut off their arms in order to survive.

It turned out that Liu Sheng, Hua Yong and Qiang Zhengde met some time ago. After discussion, they decided to play a big game.

Using most of the guerrillas as bait, they would lure all the Japanese pirates into a very small area, and then with the help of the Taoist soldiers' hard-to-defend-against tactics, they would give them a little surprise from behind.

In order to avoid being wiped out in one wave due to mistakes, Liu Huaqiang's three-member team was divided into three teams.

Liu Sheng was responsible for cooperating with the Taoist soldiers, Hua Yong was responsible for leading people to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese pirates, and Qiang Zhengde was responsible for the most dangerous task.

That is to lead all the guerrillas to defend on a hill and attract all the enemy's attention.

And the situation was moving step by step in the direction they had set. Liu Sheng and Hua Qiang successfully escaped the encirclement with a small number of elite troops with the help of Dark Night and Taoist soldiers.

Then they started to act on their own, and everyone was waiting for that moment to come.

Finally, that night, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on an unknown hilltop in the Jianghuai Hills. It was the Japanese pirates and the guerrillas fighting each other.

When Koji Ikeda learned that they had surrounded all the rats on a mountain, he immediately moved his command center forward excitedly.

It was not until they arrived at the command post, only ten miles away from the front line, that they could vaguely hear the sound of artillery fire.

However, he was stopped by his subordinates. After all, it would be too dangerous to go any further. Once there was a problem with the command center, this encirclement and suppression war would be a complete failure.

Upon hearing this, Koji Ikeda did not insist, but sent most of the soldiers around him to help in the battle. Then he walked back and forth in the tent and kept ordering people to report on the battle situation.

But what he didn't know was that at this moment, a group of people had already set their sights on them. These people were none other than Hua Yong who had left the main force and the hundred or so people he led.

Zhijian Hua Yong said to a Taoist soldier: "Are you sure? There are thousands of enemies. Can you really do it alone?"

The soldier nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, I have nine ghost generals under my command now, and it is easy to deal with so many people.

The soldier who spoke was none other than Zhao Tianci, who wiped out the entire field hospital.

As he finished speaking, Zhao Tianci slowly approached the direction of the Japanese pirates' headquarters, then found a suitable position and released all nine ghost generals.

Then drive them to kill all the secret sentries on the road, and finally drive them to cast spells to confuse all the unavoidable guards along the way.

Finally, he sneaked into the command center quietly, and then, in front of everyone's horrified eyes, he killed all the commanders on the scene, but only left a few telegraph operators.

And until this time, his plan had just begun.

He controlled this ghost general and took over the body of the staff officer beside Koji Ikeda, and asked him to transfer all the guards of the command center to the front line to support the battle under the pretext of Koji Ikeda's order.

It was at this time that he found Hua Yong to discuss the next course of action.

Upon learning that Zhao Tianci had taken control of the enemy's headquarters so easily and, crucially, could read the memory of the enemy's telegraph operator, Hua Yong's mind immediately became active.

Now that we have captured the enemy's headquarters, we must make use of it, otherwise it would be a waste.

So he immediately found a telegraph operator and sent a telegram to Liu Sheng and Qiang Zhengde at the same time.

"Brother Liu, we have taken control of the enemy headquarters. We can now let ghosts possess the enemy telegraph operators and use their radios to send false instructions, so our plan needs to be adjusted."
