"You must be bold and careful in a war. The Japanese are extremely cruel and cunning. Don't think that you can let your guard down just because you won the war! Spread out and search for the remaining enemies!"
Lin Feng's face darkened. A strong army must not be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. They must not be careless just because they won a few small battles.
"Yes, sir!"
Following Lin Feng's order, the dozen or so soldiers spread out and began to search for the Japanese soldiers who had escaped.
A moment later, after searching the entire Japanese command center, Lin Feng actually discovered a new situation.
In a dilapidated room behind the Japanese command center, there were two to three hundred prisoners. Most of them were soldiers from the 140th Brigade.
The 5th Brigade was probably planning to take these captives to General Shouichi Terauchi to claim credit. The main force of the 5th Brigade had already been transferred to the Changzhou frontline, so these captives were naturally left here.
"Chief of Staff Wan, did you bring the troops to save us?”
Separated by the wooden fence, a middle-aged soldier with unkempt hair and a dirty face had black ash all over his face. He had many injuries on his body. He looked at Wan Pingfei in disbelief.
Where was this place? The Japanese's command center!
These soldiers were surrounded and captured by the Japanese after running out of ammunition and food in Liujiaxing Town. After they were taken into the Japanese command center, they all gave up on the idea of leaving alive.
However, he did not expect to hear intense gunshots coming from outside.
The main force of the national army had long since withdrawn. Who was this person? How dare he attack the Japanese's headquarters?
When they saw the young officer, these captives were all excited. They didn't expect that it was really their brothers from the 140th Brigade who had come to save them!
"Battalion Commander Feng, why are you here?”
Wan Pingfei saw the middle-aged soldier. Although his face was covered in black dust, he immediately recognized him as Feng Jinsong, Battalion Commander Feng!
"Chief of Staff, we were ambushed by the Japanese. They knew that we were going to break out in the northwest direction of Changzhou and deliberately set up an ambush circle. Our brothers died in vain under the gunfire of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns! I've let down my brothers…"
When Feng Jinsong said this, tears suddenly flowed down his face.
"Chief of Staff, our brothers died miserably. Those who were injured were directly stabbed to death by the Japanese!”
"Some of our brothers had their bellies cut open by the Japanese and were hung on trees. They said that they wanted everyone who was heading northwest to see that this was the outcome of daring to resist the Imperial Army of the Great Japan Empire!”
"Chief of Staff, you must lead us to avenge our brothers!”
……
After the remaining soldiers of the 140th Brigade were released, they surrounded Wan Pingfei emotionally. Many of them were in tears.
The 140th Brigade had more than 5,000 soldiers, but now, there were less than 300 of them left. One could imagine how deep the hatred in these soldiers 'hearts was.
"What the hell are you all crying for? If you're a man, wipe off the horse's pee and come with me to fight the Japanese!”
A loud and clear voice came from outside the crowd, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
He saw a tall young man holding an M1 Garand rifle disguised as a 380. He stood casually not far away with a disdainful expression.
"F * ck, who are you?"
"Grenade-Throwing Old Mother, what are you shouting for?”
Shut up! Believe it or not, I'll teach you a lesson right now!
"If you dare to shout again, I'll squeeze out your egg yolk.”
Several of the remaining soldiers turned around and shot Lin Feng a fierce gaze.
Facing these fierce gazes, Lin Feng did not care. Instead, he revealed a cold smile.
However, before Lin Feng could speak, Heizi Gu suddenly stood up and said emotionally,"Battalion Commander Feng, brothers, this is Lin Feng, Officer Lin…He was the one who led the fifteen of us to attack the Japanese's headquarters!”
Buzz!
The moment Gu Heizi said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Immediately, the crowd exploded.
Feng Jinsong thought that Wan Pingfei would dare to attack the Japanese's command center because he had at least retained a large team, at least a battalion. Otherwise, why would they dare to attack the Japanese's command center?
However, he learned from Gu Heizi that there were only 15 of them who came to attack the Japanese headquarters!
How dare 15 people attack the Japanese's former 5th Brigade's headquarters?
He must be crazy!
"Battalion Commander Feng, Heizi Gu is right. We were all saved by this Officer Lin, and we only have a dozen brothers left!”
Wan Pingfei saw the doubt in Feng Jinsong's eyes and nodded.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers who had been shouting earlier all shut their mouths. The surroundings were so quiet that it was as if one could hear a pin drop.
When everyone looked at Lin Feng, there was no longer any fierceness in their eyes. Instead, they were extremely shocked.
One person, with fifteen people, dared to come to the Japanese's command center. This courage was not something that anyone could have.
Soldiers respected men with guts the most. This Lin guy was a character!
However, there were still a few troublemakers in the crowd who were very dissatisfied with Lin Feng.
Actually, it should be said that they had a natural hostility towards all military officers. The 140th Brigade was left in Liujiaxing Town to stop the pursuit of the two divisions of the Japanese army. There were no reinforcements and no logistics supplies.
After three days of bloody battles, almost all of them had been wiped out. How many of their comrades had died in the 140th Brigade of the Guangdong Army? It would be strange if they were not angry!
"Bah, all you know is how to talk. You hide in the back during the war and let your brothers go to the front to sell their lives!”
A muscular man with tattered clothes spat at Lin Feng's feet.
Wan Pingfei frowned slightly and was about to stop him when Lin Feng waved his hand and interrupted him. He took two steps forward and sized up the burly man with interest." What? Do you think you can fight? Then I want to hear how many Japanese have you killed since the Battle of Songhu?”
The man was not afraid of Lin Feng at all. He stared into his eyes and raised his head."Although I didn't kill many Japanese, I definitely killed more than you!”
After saying that, he paused for a moment and shouted,"I killed four Japanese just in the Liu Family's defensive battle! Listen up, it's four!"
For an ordinary soldier, it was indeed rare for him to kill four Japanese soldiers.
One had to know that if every soldier could kill four Japanese soldiers, even one of them would have been wiped out long ago.
However, the reality was extremely cruel. Under normal circumstances, a single Japanese soldier could kill more than ten soldiers.
"Yo, four Japanese, that's quite a lot…"
Lin Feng smacked his lips and suddenly shouted without looking back,"Blackie Gu!"
"Yes!"
Gu Heizi, who was holding the crooked handle, immediately answered without hesitation when he heard the question.
His loyalty to Lin Feng had already reached 85%, and his orders to Lin Feng had long reached the point of being strictly obeyed.
" Tell him how many Japanese we have killed since yesterday!" Lin Feng said casually, but his voice was unquestionable.”
Gu Hei straightened his back, cleared his throat, and shouted,"Officer Lin, we wiped out an entire squad of Japanese soldiers in Liujiaxing Town yesterday and killed 54 of them. Last night, we raided the Japanese temporary warehouse and killed at least a squad of Japanese soldiers and a transport squadron. Just now, we raided the Japanese command center and killed 113 Japanese soldiers.”
"What? The explosion last night was your doing?”
