He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

December 2, 1943, Thursday, sunny.

"Comrades, it's a fine day today. Our guerrilla corps has expanded here."

Today, the Jiangdong Guerrilla Column is established. Thank you to all patriotic compatriots for joining us.

The man standing on the stage

No, it should be after the commander finished speaking.

The audience immediately burst into warm applause.

And so, Leyou and his master registered their names and joined the Jiangdong Column.

As Leyou looked around, she remembered the person she had met at the dock.

"Huh? Where's my Brother Zhao? Didn't he say he'd be my recommender?"

The scene shifts to a forest where a middle-aged man in a grey robe and a straw hat stands.

His face was covered with a plaster, but there were multiple wounds on his cheeks, and one hand was tightly pressing the bundle on his chest.

With his other bloodied hand frantically pushing aside the leaves in front of him, he ran forward, making the path difficult to navigate.

Scattered gunshots and loud shouts came from behind. Suddenly, the man sneezed and tripped.

"Who! They're still cursing me at a time like this!"

After yelling a curse, he immediately got up and ran forward.

That evening, a team member came to inform Leyou of an emergency assembly.

It turns out that a team member from Lianmatan came to report that there was a Japanese military factory and a lot of materials in the mines there.

Because the team had already conducted a preliminary test, they were on guard.

The location was in the New Territories, and the commander, unfamiliar with the specifics, ordered his men to go out and gather intelligence.

They then contacted the independent brigade there to formulate a new operational plan.

A few days later, Leyou let his master rest at the command post while he followed the team towards the mine.

Because the main force of the Japanese troops was in the railway and Kowloon city area, the place they went to was considered a weak point in terms of troop strength, so only about two hundred soldiers came out.

"Hurry! Act quickly! We've received reliable information that many Japanese soldiers are now out hunting down American pilots."

Now we're going to take over the mines and destroy the military factories in one fell swoop!

The team leader in front growled in a low voice.

"Look ahead, that's the mine's material warehouse. Everyone get ready, those with guns, take aim!"

Just as the team leader finished speaking and was about to lower his raised hand and shout "Start the fight!"

A burst of gunfire erupted from behind the column, and upon hearing the gunfire, many Japanese soldiers and puppet troops rushed out of the mine. It turned out that the people who went to encircle and capture them had returned!

How could it be so fast? A pincer attack from both sides?

"Bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

"Retreat! There's an ambush!"

"what"

"what"

Leyou watched as his teammates fell one by one, riddled with bullets, into pools of blood.

He quickly picked up the Type 38 rifle from his dead comrade, hid behind the rocks, and launched an attack on the Japanese soldiers in the mine!

One after another, the cries of teammates being shot could be heard from the surrounding area.

Leyou was sweating profusely with anxiety. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him.

Leyou took out the Type 99 machine gun from the dock back then (because he didn't know how to change the magazine back then, and was also a master of drawing human figures, he had asked his master for help) and shouted:

"Retreat behind me! I'll cover your retreat! Quickly!"

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

Seeing Leyou firing a machine gun at the mine and behind him, his teammates didn't have time to ask any questions and hurriedly retreated from the side.

Seeing the team members retreating one by one, and the enemy's guns shifting accordingly,

Leyou quickly provided suppressive fire, raising and lowering the machine gun in both directions.

After emptying the remaining magazines, they discovered that several Japanese soldiers had already crept up!

He immediately threw the machine gun over, drew his samurai sword from his waist, and slashed at the Japanese soldiers!

"bump"

"bump"

The two Japanese soldiers who were hit by the machine gun hadn't even had time to move the machine gun off them before Leyou, who rushed down, killed them with two slashes.

Just then, several gunshots rang out, and bullets struck the area around Leyou, scattering dirt everywhere!

Startled, Leyou bent down and ran towards a large rock nearby.

"Huff, huff," he gasped for breath.

Leyou secretly watched the Japanese soldiers' movements from behind the big rock!

Five meters away, a row of Japanese soldiers stood in a fan shape, aiming their guns at the large rock. A dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the front row fixed bayonets and slowly dispersed to surround Leyou.

Leyou gripped his katana tightly, suppressing his rapid breathing.

"This might really be the end for us!"

"Good sir, if you surrender and join us, you'll have everything you want. In your words, it's like saying, 'Discretion is the better part of valor.'"

A voice speaking in broken Mandarin reached my ears!

Leyou leaned against a big rock and shouted:

"Niangxipi!"

"Sir, this kid is insulting you!"

An excited shout rang in my ears.

"This guy's probably a traitor," Le You thought, taking a deep breath and gripping his katana tightly.

In the blink of an eye, some Japanese soldiers had already reached the rock and were raising their knives to stab Leyou.

Leyou quickly drew his knife to parry the bayonet.

Before they could make another move, the Japanese soldiers withdrew their bayonets.

Leyou gripped his katana warily, watching the Japanese soldier.

My heart was pounding!

A dozen or so Japanese soldiers carrying bayonets had surrounded him and the big rock, and a group of Japanese soldiers outside were also pointing their guns at him.

"I'm asking you one last time, are you going to surrender or not?"

If you surrender, we won't pursue the matter of you stealing grain at the dock, and we'll be good friends!

Otherwise, you'll die!

This is what the outermost officer, with a samurai sword at his waist, said to Leyou.

"How could we men be cowards who fear death?"

"Grandpa is still a hero fifteen years later."

After saying that, Leyou drew his sword and slashed at the Japanese soldiers beside him.

As soon as they started fighting, a Japanese soldier slashed Leyou's clothes with a knife, causing Leyou to scatter in all directions in a panic.

But the encirclement kept shrinking, so where could they hide?

Leaning against a large rock, he watched the crowd closing in, their gleaming bayonets flashing white light.

The Japanese officer sneered and drew a Type 14 pistol (the brothers call it the Mauser C96) from his waist, then fired a shot at Leyou with a "bang".

"what!"

After letting out a scream, Leyou felt his head buzzing and saw blurry double images.

He landed hard on his bottom, and in that instant, a sharp pain shot through his ear. Leyou touched it with his hand:

"Where are my ears? Where are my ears? My ears are gone!"

Leyou clutched the left side of his head, screaming in pain as he curled up on the ground and rolled around incessantly.

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

The surrounding Japanese soldiers burst into laughter. Some walked over and kicked Leyou in the stomach. Just as he was kicked over, he was kicked in the back.

Just then, a Japanese officer from the outer perimeter walked over, raised his little leather boot, and stomped hard on Leyou's head.

"Haha, honest advice is hard to hear! Tie him up and torture him severely. I want to know who dares to provoke the tiger! And you did a fantastic job!"

The Japanese officer twisted the leather boot that was pressing down on Leyou's head and said to the middle-parted man next to him.

"Thank you for your concern, sir! If this kid hadn't told me, I would have skinned him alive!" said the man with the center-parted hair.

Leyou's eyes were bloodshot, his left hand covered his injured ear, and his right hand kept reaching for the samurai sword beside him.

"what"

The instant the Japanese officer withdrew his foot, Leyou grabbed his samurai sword, roared, and forcefully raised the sword to slash diagonally upwards.

Leyou's little tricks were seen through by the Japanese soldiers long ago. They saw him take a step to the side, grab the hair of the traitor next to him, and pull him to the right.

"puff"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, a head fell off, and blood spurted everywhere.

Leyou struggled to his feet and raised his knife to slash at the mocking officer beside him.

A pair of size 42 boots kicked from the side, and Leyou was immediately knocked to the ground and rolled over.

"Ha ha"

"Gibberish"

Seeing the Japanese soldiers laughing at him, Leyou gritted his teeth, rolled over to the nearest Japanese soldier, and quickly slashed at his calf.

"what"

As he rolled, his head was stepped on by the Japanese soldier again and was repeatedly crushed. In desperation, Leyou quickly swung his knife at the Japanese soldier's other leg.

Another boot print appeared on Leyou's belly.

"Wow"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, but Leyou's eyes blazed with fury as he struggled to his feet and continued slashing at the Japanese soldiers beside him.

The immense pain made Leyou's steps unsteady and unsteady.

Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers with bayonets around him retreated and advanced, toying with Leyou and repeatedly stabbing him in the legs with their bayonets!

Seeing that the other man was slowly getting up again, the Japanese officer was furious. He quickly walked over, kicked Leyou in the knee, and after he fell, stomped on his knee.

"what"

"Click"

The Japanese officer looked at Leyou, who was lying on the ground clutching his right leg and rolling around.

He spat and laughed, cursing:

Those who don't heed my advice will suffer the consequences.

What an ungrateful wretch!

"Take this troublemaker back and torture him severely. I need to know everything."

After saying that, he led the Japanese squad away, leaving a group of puppet troops looking at each other in bewilderment.

The puppet army commander, holding a hemp rope, looked at Leyou, who was lying on the ground struggling, and laughed loudly:

"You brat, how dare you anger the Japanese commander! Just wait until we get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Move! You're still moving! You've lost an ear and your thigh is all bruised, yet you still have the strength? I'll break your other leg in a minute!"

"Captain, why don't we let him go? Actually, I quite admire him."

"Yes, Captain."

"Captain, let him go."

Some members of the puppet army on the side kept pleading with the captain.

"got a handle"

"Let me go? Who will let me go? You? Or you?"

As the captain cursed, he gave each of the pleading puppet soldiers a big nose pouch.

"Hahaha"

Before the puppet army commander could even finish laughing after the battle, he was shot dead.

Leyou stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the fallen traitor.

Overjoyed, he suppressed the pain and burst into laughter.

Then, bursts of gunfire erupted nearby. Hearing this, he fled in panic, paying no attention to Leyou.

Leyou lay motionless in the pool of blood, clutching his right leg, his eyes fixed on the sky, a bitter smile of grief and indignation washing over him…

Leyou, who was about to faint from blood loss, vaguely saw the leader of the team...
