Chapter 349 Trauma

The Japanese also discovered Lu Peng and others, and turned their guns around like crazy.

Lu Peng was well prepared and made evasive actions in advance. A series of intensive bullets missed and he started to attack at the same time. With his advantage in skill, he easily opened a gap and led people into the fighting circle.

When the Eighth Route Army and the puppet army discovered Lu Peng's existence, they were overjoyed and launched a charge regardless, trying to cover Lu Peng's breakout.

"Baga!"

The leading Japs cursed, pulled out his command sword and chopped down an Eighth Route Army soldier. He drew out his bayonet and looked at Lu Peng calmly, with a trace of cruelty flashing in the corner of his eyes.

"Bagaya road!"

Lu Peng was secretly surprised. The Japs' courage was beyond his imagination. Seeing that he was targeted, he did not take action rashly. Instead, he observed the surrounding situation and determined that the Japs had no other reinforcements. He decisively raised the muzzle of his gun and fired quickly.

"Bang!"

The Japanese was shot, his body swayed a few times, and he collapsed.

"kill!"

The Eighth Route Army and the puppet army were taken aback. When they reacted, they opened fire at the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Seeing the opportunity, Lu Peng struck while the iron was hot, quickly rushed to the Japs, stabbed the Japs in the neck with his bayonet, pulled out his dagger and stabbed him cleanly, killing the Japs cleanly.

"Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" Xu Minsheng said gratefully and at the same time with admiration.

"Haha, it's all luck." Lu Peng smiled modestly, thinking of the previous encounter, and asked: "Brother Xu, why did the Japanese suddenly change their minds and forcefully cross the river at the risk of having the bridge blown up?"

Xu Minsheng shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific reason. I only know that early this morning, a Japanese businessman came to the county to sell things. He said that a friend asked him to deliver things to me. When I saw that these goods were not simple, I immediately contacted his friend and learned that the other party was a Japanese spy who was responsible for collecting intelligence. I was worried that the situation was serious and did not dare to delay. I immediately led everyone to retreat. "

"Is that so?" Lu Peng thought it was not a coincidence, but unfortunately he had no way to verify it, and said: "Since they are spies of the Japanese army, they will definitely not give up. They are probably chasing us. You go quickly, I will follow behind!"

"No, it's too dangerous!" Xu Minsheng refused. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, you lead the people to retreat to the north, and I will lead the people to the south to try to get rid of the Japanese. Do you think this is okay?"

"this……"

Lu Peng hesitated, unwilling to let Xu Minsheng take risks. After all, Xu Minsheng only led fifty people, which would be a drop in the bucket to deal with hundreds of Japanese troops.

"No choice!" Xu Minsheng insisted.

Zhang Qing advised: "Brother Xu, you know Brother Lu's skills. Besides, he is familiar with the terrain and will definitely be able to escape. You will only die if you stay, so why not withdraw quickly?"

"Yes, Brother Xu, look over here!" A puppet soldier pointed to the north and reminded.

Everyone followed the sound and found that the Japanese army had caught up, and the distance was less than 300 meters. Xu Minsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, take care of yourself!"

"Thank you for trusting me." Lu Peng said seriously, watching Xu Minsheng and his party go away.

"Hurry, retreat quickly!" Xu Minsheng's shout came from afar.

Zhang Qing pulled Lu Peng behind a huge rock nearby, lowered his voice and said, "Captain Lu, if you are afraid that Brother Xu is in danger, why don't you go back and help first?"

"Forget it, I don't like to owe favors." Lu Peng waved his hand and refused. After speaking, he squatted down and checked the bodies on the ground. He found that except for the armored vehicle that was destroyed, the other vehicles were not damaged. He immediately took out the grenade and threw it away. Go down and explode the gasoline barrel.

"Boom!"

The gasoline barrel exploded, instantly igniting the explosives in the vehicle. The force of the explosion flipped four trucks off and reduced the carriages to ashes.

"Damn, these sons of bitches are better off this time." Xu Minsheng couldn't help but curse, hating these Japanese soldiers.

Lu Peng was thoughtful, thinking of the conversation he heard under the car before, vaguely guessed something, and said: "Let's go, keep on going!"

Zhang Qing came over understandingly and urged: "Captain Lu, we must leave here as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

"Yes." Lu Peng nodded and followed Zhang Qing back.

After walking more than ten meters, Lu Peng stopped, stared at the forest in front of him, and said, "There are people coming, a lot of them."

"Ah?!" Zhang Qing was stunned. He followed Lu Peng's line of sight and found a figure moving not far away. After taking a closer look, his face changed slightly and he reminded: "Captain Lu, it seems to be Instructor Tian and the others!"

"Hurry, save people!" Lu Peng's face changed slightly and he quickened his pace. He quickly saw the person who was coming. He breathed a sigh of relief and speeded up to meet him.

"team leader!"

Wang Huzi and others returned with a full load, and they all showed joy when they saw that Lu Peng was safe and sound.

"Where is Lao Tian?" Lu Peng asked. He looked around and found that there was only Tian Xiaoxi and no sign of Tian Qiming. He asked suspiciously: "Where did Lao Tian go?"

Tian Qiming is Tian Xiaoxi's father. Tian Qiming is the squad leader of the independent battalion. Although he is not the platoon leader, he is more valuable than ordinary soldiers.

"He..." Tian Xiaoxi hesitated and looked at Lu Peng with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.

Wang Huzi and others were also silent. It was not difficult to see that Tian Xiaoxi must have been hiding something just now.

"Xiaoxi, tell me the truth." Lu Peng asked with a straight face.

Tian Xiaoxi sighed and said, "My father is dead."

"What?!" Lu Peng trembled and said in shock: "You said Lao Tian..."

"Yes." Tian Xiaoxi lowered his head and responded, his eyes became moist, tears kept rolling down, and he choked, "It was the Japanese who killed him!"

"Asshole!" Lu Peng clenched his fists, furious. He wanted to question Tian Qiming, but found that Tian Xiaoxi's injuries were more serious than yesterday, and asked with concern: "Xiaoxi, how are you?"

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. It's just a skin injury. You'll be fine after just two days of rest." Tian Xiaoxi wiped away her tears and said, "My father told me before he died and told me to convey it to you. He didn't want to drag you down, he just wanted to You will take good care of my mother and sister from now on.”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Peng glared at Tian Xiaoxi, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Bring these words to him for me. Remember, you are not allowed to cry, and you are not allowed to make decisions without authorization!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Tian Xiaoxi saluted.

Lu Peng was so worried that he turned his head away from Tian Xiaoxi and said in a low voice: "You go first, I will fight with the Japanese for my life!"

"Don't be stupid!" Tian Xiaoxi became anxious, grabbed Lu Peng and said, "Captain, this is an order!"

"You..." Lu Peng was angry and didn't want to promise, but knew that he had to agree. He pressed Tian Xiaoxi into his arms without any reason and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."

Tian Xiaoxi was stunned, looked up at Lu Peng, and saw a blush flashing across Lu Peng's cheeks. She immediately understood something, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she did not dare to look directly at Lu Peng. After struggling for a while, she found that Lu Peng was determined to hug her. He had no choice but to lean on Lu Peng's chest obediently, his heart beating more and more violently.

"Ahem, let's go!" Zhang Qing coughed slightly, interrupting the weird atmosphere and calling the team members to leave.

"team leader?"

"You all go away and don't worry about me!"

"Captain, please don't be confused!" Zhang Qing said anxiously.

Lu Peng said without any doubt: "Execute the order!"

"Alas!" Zhang Qing sighed secretly and led the team members away.

Tian Xiaoxi looked at Lu Peng gratefully and said, "Captain Lu, thank you."

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Who of us is following whom?" Lu Peng smiled pretending to be calm, forced himself to calm down, thought for a while, and said: "Sit down and rest for a while, later. I'll help you find a place to hide."

"That's fine." Tian Xiaoxi nodded, sat down as instructed, and said worriedly: "Captain, you must be careful. If you encounter trouble, contact us immediately."

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Lu Peng said perfunctorily, took out the cigarette case from his waist, took out a cigarette and held it in the corner of his mouth. After lighting it, he suddenly noticed something unusual and frowned: "Strange!"

"What's weird?" Tian Xiaoxi asked.

"It's nothing, keep walking forward, I always feel that there is someone behind me." Lu Peng shook his head, no longer thought about it, and walked towards the col.

When crossing the jungle, Lu Peng repeated his old tricks, weaving rattan ropes into ropes and tying them to several sharp rocks. With the help of elasticity, he easily climbed to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Peng overlooked the entire village and found that there were many Japanese ambushing around, all of them Japs. Moreover, the Japs' reconnaissance company and machine gun squadron were searching for survivors, and there were people on guard duty.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Lu Peng returned to the outside of the Tian Family Courtyard and found that there were many hidden sentries nearby. There was a watchtower every three to five hundred meters, and the defense was extremely strict.

"Captain!" Seeing Lu Peng appear, Zhang Qing led his soldiers to greet him and reported: "The Japanese have set up a position on the southeast slope. I guess they have sent reinforcements by now."

Lu Peng glanced around, looked at the dark trees and bushes, pondered for a moment, and said: "This Japanese is not simple, he actually built a bunker fortification inside the tree canopy. This is a defensive fortification. It can not only withstand shelling, but also Stopping snipers will be very detrimental to our attack once there is a firefight!"

"What should we do?" Wang Huzi asked with a frown.

"Of course we will charge into the battle." Lu Peng had already made a decision and ordered: "Wang Huzi will stay behind, and the rest will follow me."

"Understood." Everyone was in awe and retreated with Lu Peng without hesitation.

Along the way, they encountered several waves of guerrillas, all of which were eliminated by the team. They successfully arrived about 200 meters away from the village. Lu Peng signaled the team to rest where they were and observed the enemy's situation with a telescope.

Not long after, there was a roar in the distance that sounded like a truck.

Lu Peng was taken aback and screamed secretly. He quickly picked up the map and looked at it again. His face was gloomy and he muttered to himself: "Little Japan is so damn cunning. It seems that we have been deceived by them!"

"What's going on, captain, are we being made dumplings?!" Zhang Qing's heart was in his throat.

"You're thinking too much." Lu Peng said angrily, and then he reacted and explained: "According to the information I have, the Japs' target this time is the supplies in the village, and the villagers were not mentioned."

"Then why are you..." Wang Huzi was confused.

Lu Peng explained patiently: "Since the little devil didn't take action, it means that they don't know the specific location where the villagers are hiding. In addition, their target is supplies, so they will definitely not waste Baogui's troops here. I guess the little devil will soon They will shrink the defense line and even gather troops. I guess these villagers are probably arranged by the devils in the nearby dense forest, so we cannot fight forcefully. "

"So that's it!" Wang Huzi suddenly realized it and said with a wry smile: "No wonder you keep staring at the Japs. It turns out that you have guessed the Japs' purpose a long time ago. It's a pity that we have been working blindly for a long time."

"I'm also betting on luck." Lu Peng shrugged helplessly.

"Betting on luck?" Zhang Qing looked at Lu Peng in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Captain, didn't you just say that the Japanese were prepared? Will they still lose to these beasts?"

"These gangsters are as cunning as foxes. They must have made a plan, but I guessed wrong. They didn't expect that there were villagers here, let alone that someone would save them. Otherwise, no matter how well we concealed ourselves, we wouldn't be able to hide it. Little Japs, after all, there are only six of us, four men and four women. As long as the Japs are not pigs, they will never ignore us," Lu Peng analyzed. After speaking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Qing, and lit one himself. root.

Wang Huzi and others remained silent in tacit agreement, because they knew better than Lu Peng how powerful the Japanese were. If Lu Peng guessed correctly, there would be a river of blood tonight.

Zhang Qing didn't smoke. He looked at his comrades around him and asked, "What should we do? Should we inform Yang Xiuling and the others?"

"It's not necessary for the time being. The devils' attention is focused here and they can't deal with us yet." Lu Peng waved his hand and continued to add: "Besides, they won't think that we already know their plan, even if they notify us There is no point in them other than letting them die in vain.”

"That's right." Zhang Qing nodded and asked, "Then what are we going to do next? How about taking advantage of the chaos and sneak attack?"

"The Japs came prepared. They must be well prepared. If they act rashly, not only will they have no effect, but they will get themselves involved. Let's implement it according to the plan we made before, try to avoid exposing our whereabouts and minimize casualties." Lu Peng made this decision after careful consideration. He decided and looked at Zhang Qing, "Remember, you cannot expose your identity and can only fight guerrilla warfare. No matter what the situation is, you are not allowed to fight. Protect yourself and wait for orders. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Zhang Qing solemnly promised. He suddenly became energetic and said excitedly: "Captain, don't worry, we know what to do."

"Yes." Lu Peng nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said: "Also, tell the brothers, try not to use hot weapons, try to avoid encounters with the Japs, and stay close to the Japs, waiting for opportunities to act!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qing responded.

After the explanation, Lu Peng looked at the Japanese camp in the distance and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, find a place to hide first."

Zhang Qing did not hesitate, and asked the soldiers to spread out and take cover. Then he took Lu Peng around to the back of the hill on the west side of the village entrance, found a leeward place and hid in, then took out the map, pointed to the hillside on the west side of the village and said : "Captain, this is the only low mountain in the village. It's about two hundred meters high and has a wide view. The Japs' camp is at this location. If the Japs' cars park here, it will definitely affect us. It's better for us to be at the foot of the mountain. Set up an ambush, lure them here, and then..."
