Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

The desperate resistance had a certain effect. The special forces members did not dare to underestimate the enemy and adopted a gradual advancement tactic to attack.

Yamamoto Ikki knew very well that if they failed to break out, the large force attracted by the gunfire would surround them, and even if they had wings, they would not be able to fly out of the encirclement.

Yamamoto Ikki gritted his teeth, gave up facing the enemy head-on, and ordered his men to concentrate all their firepower and attack in one direction in an attempt to open a gap.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire was deafening.

On the special forces side, Duan Peng keenly sensed Yamamoto Ikki's intention and quickly adjusted the deployment, allowing the group attacking from the front to quietly detour to the flank of the enemy's attack direction.

The roundabout team quickly arrived at the designated location.

When Yamamoto Ikki's men were about to break through the defense line, gunshots suddenly broke out from the side.

Yamamoto Ikki was shocked and knew that his plan had failed, but he was now in a difficult situation and could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

The special forces team was attacked from both sides and suffered heavy casualties.

However, as luck would have it, two civilians were running quickly towards the Xiaowangzhuang position, carrying a bag in their hands.

One of them was Zhao Yuling, a nurse at the hospital.

She received a request from the Xiaowangzhuang position that a soldier was hit by a stray bullet from the Japanese and urgently needed some alcohol and clean bandages.

Zhao Yuling heard the sudden gunshots halfway, but she was only thinking about getting the alcohol and bandages to the position as quickly as possible.

Because she knew that if the situation was not urgent, the medical soldiers on the battlefield would not easily seek help from the hospital. The situation must have reached a very critical moment.

So he risked being hit by bullets and rushed forward.

Following him were the hospital's logistics staff, holding some medicines and equipment needed for first aid.

The two men rushed forward, risking being hit by bullets, but they never expected to bump into the fleeing Yamamoto Ikki.

Yamamoto Ikki knew that there was no hope of breaking out in the current situation. After seeing Zhao Yulin and the other person, he quickly rushed over, trying to capture Zhao Yulin and use her as a human shield, forcing the soldiers of the independent battalion to let him retreat.

With professional training, Yamamoto Ikki knew that Zhao Yuling, dressed in a nurse's uniform, was more suitable as a bargaining chip than the man who followed her, and might even be someone's wife.

Before catching Zhao Yulin, Yamamoto Ikki seemed to have seen hope of escape.

However, at this extremely critical moment, when Yamamoto Ikki's hand was about to grab Zhao Yuling, his eyes flashed. After seeing clearly, Yamamoto Ikki realized that what he grabbed was not the woman, but the man who followed her.

This made him very angry, but he could do nothing about it.

He blocked the man in front of himself and pierced his submachine gun through his armpit: "Don't move, or I will kill him!"

Zhao Yulin, who was rescued, fell to the ground and rolled several times, but she still held on tightly to the things in her hands. Despite the injuries on her body, the alcohol and bandages in the bag did not fall out.

"Dog!"

Gouzi responded loudly: "Sister Yuling, don't worry about me, as long as you are okay."

This scene made the special forces members furious. Duan Peng shouted angrily: "Stop shooting!"

Then he shouted loudly in Japanese: "Yamamoto Ikki, are you still a soldier? Using innocent people as a cover is absolutely shameless!"

Yamamoto Ikki remained unmoved and continued to retreat.

He retreated while sneering, "War is a life-and-death struggle, and any means necessary. Don't you understand?"

Duan Peng stared at Yamamoto Ikki, and glanced around, looking for an opportunity.

At this moment, he noticed that the branches of a big tree next to him extended just above the top of Yamamoto's wood.

Duan Peng suddenly had an idea and gave a series of action instructions to the person behind him.

The team member understood what he meant, quietly went around the tree and slowly climbed up the trunk.

Duan Peng deliberately stalled for time, speaking loudly to cover up the sound of his teammates climbing the tree: "Yamamoto, you can't escape today. Let go of the hostage, and we can give you a quick death."

"Humph!"

Yamamoto Ikki snorted disdainfully.

"You should know very well that people like us would rather die in battle than surrender."

At this time, the gunfire around them stopped, and the members of Group 2 came running to report: "Captain, all the devils have been eliminated, not a single one escaped, and no one in the team was injured or killed."

"Yamamoto, did you hear that?"

Duan Peng shouted, "You are the only one left now. Surrender. You know that we in the Eighth Route Army treat prisoners well."

This statement was met with strong dissatisfaction from Yamamoto Ikki: "The methods of your independent battalion have long been known. You will not have any living prisoners in your hands."

Duan Peng was worried that Yamamoto Ikki would risk everything, so he hurriedly said, "You're right, but I tell you, those who died were worthless captives, but you are different. We have a chance to cooperate. You can use the information in exchange for your freedom."

"We have a lot in common. Perhaps we can become good friends and exchange knowledge about special operations."

"This is impossible!"

Yamamoto Ikki knew he was doomed, but he still had the dignity of a soldier: "I wonder if you can agree to one request of mine. If you do, I will release the captives."

Gou Zi was captured by Yamamoto in order to save Zhao Yulin. Duan Peng was determined to save Gou Zi no matter what. Not to mention a request, even if it was just asking Duan Peng to give Yamamoto Ikki some time to escape, he would agree without hesitation.

This is absolute confidence.

"no problem."

Duan Peng said, "From now on, you put down your weapons and release the hostages. As long as you don't take any dangerous actions, I can guarantee your safety."

At this time, the soldier had already climbed up the tree. As long as Duan Peng gave the order, he would jump down in an instant and grab Yamamoto Ikki.

But Duan Peng did not order any action. He also wanted to have a complete end to his old rival Yamamoto Ikki.

Yamamoto Ikki did as he was told. He first let go of the prisoner in his hand, and then let go of the submachine gun and pistol on his body.

"You are a man of honor. My request is that I fight you in a duel of warriors. If I win, you must escort me safely."

"In exchange, I will tell you everything I know, and I swear by the Bushido code that I will never tell a single lie."

Duan Peng asked with a smile: "What if you lose?"

"It's up to you."

"it is good!"

Duan Peng held out his hand and asked the team members to give two daggers, and threw one to Yamamoto Ikki: "If you don't want, I can also ask someone to get a long knife."

Yamamoto Ikki glanced at the dagger on the ground, shook his head and said, "This is not a duel in accordance with Bushido. Please fetch your katana."

"Row!"

If you want to make someone lose, you must make him lose with full conviction.

Duan Peng ordered his team members to fetch two samurai swords.

Soon, the samurai sword was handed to the two men.

These are the spoils captured in several battles, some of which belong to colonels and some to majors.

Yamamoto Ikki got a colonel's command sword that suited his status. He held the hilt with both hands, his eyes became sharp, and he assumed a standard fighting posture.

Duan Peng was not to be outdone, and he held his samurai sword tightly, ready for battle.

In an instant, Yamamoto Ikki took the lead in attacking. He shouted and rushed towards Duan Peng, and his knife flashed a cold light in the air.

Duan Peng dodged sideways and stabbed Yamamoto Ikki in the waist with his backhand.

Yamamoto Ikki reacted extremely quickly and drew his sword to block.

The two fought back and forth for several rounds, but there was no winner.

Suddenly, Duan Peng revealed a flaw, and Yamamoto Ikki thought he had an opportunity and chopped him with all his strength.

Duan Peng seized the opportunity, squatted down suddenly, and kicked Yamamoto Ikki's calf at the same time.

Yamamoto Ikki lost his balance and fell forward, and Duan Peng took the opportunity to put a knife against his throat.

Yamamoto Ikki closed his eyes and sighed: "I lost."

Duan Peng put away his knife: "According to the agreement, you must now tell us everything you know."

Duan Peng looked at the escorted Yamamoto Ikki and said, "This is China. As invaders, your failure is inevitable."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised. As long as you cooperate, I can guarantee your safety."

Yamamoto Ikki was taken back to the base and locked up. Duan Peng looked at his back and muttered to himself, "But, I don't have the final say in this independent battalion!"

Duan Peng wanted to see how Zhao Yuling was doing, but found that she had actually run some distance away.

So he kicked the team member next to him and said angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Chase?"

"Miss Zhao is injured. If anything goes wrong, the battalion commander will definitely give us a beating!"

When the team members thought of Lin Qiang's various training methods, they got goose bumps all over their bodies and rushed to catch up.
