Chapter 578 Sneak Attack on Army Headquarters
Before he finished speaking, Ah Qiang had already darted out of the bamboo forest like an arrow.
He lightly touched the rails with his toes, leaped into the air, and unleashed the "Whirlwind Leg" from the Twelve Styles of Tan Tui. His right leg, imbued with a faint red aura, swept out and slammed into the metal guard booth of the train station with a loud "bang."
The guard post instantly deformed, and the sentry inside, who had just poked his head out, was struck by the powerful energy, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices and collapse inside.
"Enemy attack!" A shrill cry rang out from inside the train station, and the beam of a searchlight swept across, illuminating A-Qiang's tall and imposing figure.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of machine guns suddenly rang out, and bullets rained down on him.
Ah Qiang remained calm and unhurried. He stomped his left foot on the guard post, and his whole body began to spin like a top, forming a red barrier of qi around him.
The bullets hit the barrier and bounced off, scattering sparks on the ground.
Using the momentum of his rotation, he kicked out with his right leg again, striking the machine gun emplacement's bunker squarely. The concrete bunker was punched through, and the machine gunner screamed as he was buried under the rubble.
"Go!" Ah Sheng shouted, unleashing the "Diamond Pestle" move of his Iron Wire Fist, his fist slamming into the iron gate of the ticket checkpoint with a whooshing sound.
With a loud crash, the iron gate shattered, and he rushed onto the platform, his fists striking in alternating blows. Each punch landed precisely on the Japanese soldier's chest or throat, and when his pale golden aura erupted, the crisp sound of bones breaking could always be heard.
Ah Gui stood guard at the door with a sandalwood stick, its shadow weaving like a woven tapestry, forming an impenetrable defensive line.
Three Japanese soldiers charged forward with bayonets, but he struck them in the knee with a club, causing them to scream and fall to their knees. Then, he swept the club across, breaking all three of their necks simultaneously. They collapsed without making much of a sound.
He would occasionally swing his wooden stick, and the bluish-gray energy would transform into sharp arrows that accurately extinguished the searchlights in the distance, plunging the platform into chaos.
"Xu Qi! Tuqiang!" Xiong Ju's shout came. She was hiding behind the cargo box with her younger brother Xin and her older brother Ai when a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed over with rifles. The bullets hit the cargo box and made a "clanging" sound.
Xu Qi gritted his teeth, pressed his hands to the ground, and activated his earth-type ability at full power.
Suddenly, the platform floor bulged up, and a two-meter-high earthen wall rose from the ground, cutting off the Japanese soldiers' charge. "Wang Di!" he shouted.
With a wave of his hands, Wang Di drew water from a nearby fire hydrant, which transformed into dozens of ice spikes that shot toward the Japanese soldiers behind the earthen wall.
Screams rang out one after another. Several Japanese soldiers were pinned to the wall by ice spikes. The rest retreated in panic, but were caught up by Asheng's Iron Wire Fist. Every punch landed hard, and they were soon silenced.
Shen Fang was so excited watching that he couldn't help but rush out. With a push of his hands, a fireball the size of a basketball shot out and hit a carriage full of kerosene.
With a loud "boom," flames shot into the sky, illuminating half of the platform.
Just as he was about to cheer, he saw a Japanese soldier charging from the side with a bayonet. Startled, he jumped back and almost fell. In his haste, he even forgot his martial arts skills.
"Watch out!" Xin Di's voice came, and she darted in front of Shen Fang like a ghost, the tip of her Nine Yin Divine Claw slicing across the Japanese soldier's wrist.
The Japanese soldier screamed, his bayonet flew out of his hand, and Xin Di swiftly struck him on the throat with his claw. The Japanese soldier's eyes widened, and he slowly fell to the ground.
Xin Di looked at her blood-stained fingertips, her stomach churning, but she forced herself not to vomit—she remembered Cheng Yi's words, the battlefield allows no room for mercy.
Ai Di silently followed behind A Gui, his metal-type superpower activated, and a few strands of metal wires, barely visible to the naked eye, flicked from his fingertips.
He spotted a Japanese soldier who was about to pull the bolt, and the metal wire instantly wrapped around the bolt. The soldier pulled hard, and the bolt was torn off. Before he could react, Ah Gui smashed his head with a wooden stick.
The fighting was fierce on the platform, with gunshots, explosions, and screams all mixed together, and the firelight illuminated the night sky.
More and more Japanese soldiers were surging into the train station from all directions, but they were firmly blocked in the center of the platform by the three top fighters and Unit 701, unable to advance an inch.
All of this was observed by the watchtower in the distance—they thought it was just a small guerrilla attack and mobilized most of their forces to reinforce the train station, unaware that this was exactly what Cheng Yi wanted.
At this moment, Cheng Yi, under the cover of the invisibility potion, had infiltrated the Army Headquarters in the center of Guangzhou.
There were twice as many patrols on the streets as usual, and the sound of military boots pounding on the stone pavement was deafening. In the glow of the lanterns, you could see the tense profiles of the Japanese soldiers.
Cheng Yi glided along the wall like a shadow, avoiding the patrol team's sight. On the system's minimap, the red dot representing the headquarters was getting closer and closer.
The Japanese headquarters was located in a Western-style building that combined Chinese and Western architectural styles. The courtyard wall was about three meters high and covered with barbed wire. There was a heavy machine gun in each of the four corner guard posts. Searchlight beams swept across the courtyard wall, indicating that the defenses were very tight.
Cheng Yi went around to the back of the Western-style building, where the kitchen was located. The guards were relatively lax, and only two Japanese soldiers were leaning against the wall smoking.
He channeled his inner energy, leaping up like a raccoon dog, lightly tapping the wall with his foot, and silently landing in the courtyard.
As he landed, he casually tossed two pebbles, which accurately struck the back of the necks of the two guards. The two men collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound. They weren't knocked unconscious; their necks were pierced, and they were killed instantly.
On the lawn inside the courtyard, several Japanese soldiers who looked like staff officers were arguing over a map. Cheng Yi ignored them and rushed straight towards the main building.
The windows of the main building were lit, and loud arguments and the sound of tables being slammed could be heard from inside—clearly, the situation at the train station had made these high-ranking officers restless.
Cheng Yi took out the cleaver from his waist. This thing was a reward from the system. He had used it quite well in so many worlds. Its sharpness far exceeded that of ordinary steel knives. It was also coated with a special poison - Weakness Powder.
He kicked open the half-closed door, and the arguing inside stopped abruptly. A dozen Japanese soldiers dressed in officer uniforms turned to look at him, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Who goes there?!" A major general with a mustache stood up abruptly, his hand reaching for the saber at his waist.
Cheng Yi didn't give him a chance to draw his sword. His inner energy erupted from his feet, and he darted in front of him like a ghost. With a flash of light, the sword pierced into his throat with a "plop".
The major general's eyes widened, blood gushed from his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound and slowly collapsed.
"An assassin!" a colonel roared, reaching for the telephone on the table.
Cheng Yi thrust back, the cleaver piercing through the back of the colonel's hand and pinning it to the table. The colonel let out a shrill scream.
In the chaos, Cheng Yi's figure moved through the room, his cleaver gleaming coldly under the light.
These high-ranking officers, accustomed to a life of luxury, had never witnessed such swift and powerful agility.
Before long, seven or eight people lay in pools of blood, while the remaining few huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.
Cheng Yi didn't make another move. Instead, he walked to the filing cabinet by the wall, ripped open the door, and found it filled with documents marked "Top Secret".
He grabbed a few documents at random; they were all deployment plans for the attack on Hong Kong, along with maps showing the troop distribution around Guangzhou. "Perfect for use."
He stuffed the documents into his pocket and then rummaged through the drawer of his desk to find a key—the key to the armory, which was marked on the system map as being located in the warehouse behind the headquarters.
After dealing with all the officers at headquarters, Cheng Yi headed straight for the armory, which was his biggest target for the night.
The warehouse's iron door was incredibly heavy; the dozen or so Japanese soldiers outside didn't last five seconds under Cheng Yi's two shots. A huge brass lock hung on the door; he unlocked it with the key and pushed the door open.
The warehouse was filled with wooden crates. When you opened them, you found they were full of grenades, explosive charges, mortar shells, rifles, machine guns, and several brand-new heavy machine guns.
"What a pleasant surprise!" With a thought, Cheng Yi activated the space of the ten-thousand-year-old pearl and began frantically storing it.
Boxes of grenades and bundles of explosives were collected and quickly filled up to the brim.
He didn't bother taking the remaining shells and weapons; instead, he placed a bag of high explosives in each of the four corners of the warehouse, lit the fuses, and quickly evacuated.
Boom——! ! !
The enormous explosion shook the earth, turning the armory into a sea of fire. Flames shot into the sky, illuminating the night sky above the command headquarters as if it were daytime.
The Japanese soldiers inside the Western-style building were in complete chaos, with cries, screams, and gunshots all mixed together, plunging them into utter confusion.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Cheng Yi opened a portal in the courtyard wall and stepped inside.
The next second, he appeared on the train station platform and saw Ah Qiang being forced back by three Japanese soldiers' machine guns. Although he was unharmed due to his protective aura, he was still in a sorry state.
"Master!" Shen Fang was the first to see him and shouted excitedly.
Cheng Yi didn't speak, but directly pulled out a Maxim heavy machine gun from his system space. This thing was a reward from his system; after being modified, it didn't need to be reloaded and had an astonishing rate of fire. He set up the machine gun and pulled the trigger at the charging Japanese soldiers.
"Da da da--!"
A hail of bullets rained down like a storm, instantly turning the dozen or so Japanese soldiers at the front into sieves. The Japanese soldiers behind them were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated and dared not charge forward again.
"Brother Yi!" Xiong Ju shouted, "Reinforcements are coming from the west!"
Cheng looked up and saw a military train approaching on the distant railway tracks, billowing black smoke. The carriages were packed with Japanese soldiers.
He grinned, pulled a rocket launcher from his system space, slung it over his shoulder, and aimed it at the front of the military train.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three rockets, trailing plumes of flame, roared out and accurately struck the front of the vehicle.
With a deafening roar, the locomotive was shattered into pieces, the military train derailed, and the carriages crashed together one after another. The Japanese soldiers inside were thrown out like dumplings being dropped into a pot, screaming in agony.
"The reinforcements have been dealt with." Cheng Yi put down the rocket launcher and looked at the three experts. "Now, clear the area."
Ah Sheng and his two companions perked up and unleashed their full power of inner energy.
Asheng was the first to rush forward. He used his "Iron Mountain Lean" technique to smash into a train car, burying all the Japanese soldiers inside.
Ah Gui's sandalwood staff swept across, and wherever the staff passed, the Japanese soldiers' rifles were all broken, and the sound of bones shattering was incessant. Ah Qiang's Twelve-Road Tan Leg was even more domineering. He leaped up and kicked out with both legs in succession, breaking the steel beams of the platform roof and smashing them into the gathered Japanese soldiers, whose screams rose and fell.
The Five Elements disciples were also completely unleashed.
Xin Di's Nine Yin Divine Claws did not hesitate; wherever his fingertips touched, someone would fall. Xu Qi's earthen wall rose and fell, dividing the Japanese soldiers into small pieces and defeating them one by one.
Wangdi's water-based superpower transformed into ice spikes, killing Japanese soldiers who cried out in despair; Shenfang's fireballs were accurately thrown into the Japanese ranks, leaving them nowhere to hide; Aidi's metal-based superpower transformed bayonets into short blades, specifically designed to sever the wrists of Japanese soldiers, and in no time, they captured more than a dozen rifles and machine guns.
Unit 701, armed with submachine guns, maneuvered between the platforms, working with the three top-notch officers to eliminate any remaining fugitives.
Xu Xi's sniper rifle was incredibly accurate; every shot could blow a Japanese soldier's head off, terrifying the Japanese soldiers who were trying to counterattack.
The battle lasted less than an hour before the Japanese soldiers inside the train station were cleared out.
The platform was littered with corpses, the rails were stained red with blood, and the flames of the burning carriages gradually died down, leaving only the smoldering remains.
“Take stock of the casualties,” Cheng Yi said.
Xiong Ju quickly reported: "The 701st unit was unharmed, the three top experts suffered minor injuries, and the disciples... are all fine, except for Brother Xin who has a minor scrape."
Xindi quickly waved his hand: "It's alright."
Her face was stained with blood, but she was no longer as panicked as before; her eyes held a newfound determination.
Cheng Yi nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "Now, we have two choices—one is to retreat, and the other is to take advantage of the chaos at the Japanese headquarters to hunt down the stragglers."
Ah Sheng's eyes lit up: "Hunting?"
“Yes.” Cheng Yi pointed in the direction of Guangzhou. “The headquarters has been bombed, the train station has been captured, and the Japanese must be in complete chaos right now. It’s the perfect opportunity to wipe them out. Comrades, do you dare to come with me?”
"Why wouldn't I dare!" Ah Qiang grinned. "It's a good opportunity to stretch my muscles a bit more."
Cheng Yi then looked at the Five Elements disciples: "What about you? Do you dare to go?"
Xin Di took a deep breath and took a step forward: "I'll go."
Wangdi and Aidi exchanged a glance and then stepped forward: "We'll go too."
Shen Fang clenched his fist: "I've been wanting to kill to my heart's content for a long time!"
Xu Qi nodded silently, which was considered a statement of agreement.
"Alright!" Cheng Yi shouted. "Unit 701 will stay behind to guard against a Japanese counterattack. The rest of you, follow me. Our objective is to locate the stragglers inside and outside Guangzhou. Return to the assembly point before dawn!"
Under the cover of night, the group of nine split into three groups and stealthily made their way towards Guangzhou.
Asheng led Shen Fang and Xu Qi to the east to attack the Japanese patrols; Agui led Wangdi and Aidi to the west to disrupt the Japanese communication lines; Cheng Yi led Xindi to the middle to strike directly at the Japanese temporary stronghold.
The first target Ah Sheng's group encountered was a ten-person patrol team.
Unable to contain himself, Shen Fang rushed out first, hurling a fireball at the Japanese soldier at the back of the column, burning him into a human-shaped torch.
The patrol was thrown into chaos, and Ah Sheng seized the opportunity to rush out. His Iron Wire Fist rained down like a storm, and his pale golden aura erupted. In no time, he had taken care of most of them.
Ai Di used his metal-based superpower to condense a net, trapping the remaining Japanese soldiers. Shen Fang then delivered a few more punches, clean and efficient.
"Now this is what fighting is all about!" Shen Fang exclaimed, panting, but his face beamed with joy. Xu Qi wiped the blood from his face, his eyes brightening considerably.
