What appeared in front of Yamaguchi Naoto and the others was a huge pit that was nearly three meters deep. At the bottom of the pit, there were hundreds of bamboo swords made of bamboo. Each bamboo sword was about sixty centimeters long and looked exceptionally sharp.
The two soldiers of Yamaguchi Naoto were lying at the bottom of the pit. Each of them had been pierced by more than ten bamboo swords. Scarlet blood was trickling out from those bloody holes, and the scene was too horrible to look at.
This kind of pit was set up by the hunters in the mountains to deal with some large wild beasts. Not to mention a human, even a wild boar would not be able to escape death!
Although Yamaguchi had experienced countless bloody scenes, his heart could not help but tremble when he saw the tragic state of his subordinates.
"Retreat quickly!"
Yamaguchi Naoki finally came to his senses. At this moment, he no longer cared about the face of the bullsh * t samurai and quickly gave the order to retreat. The soldiers under him had lost all their fighting spirit. Upon hearing the order to retreat, they couldn't care less about their comrades who had died tragically at the bottom of the pit. They all ran away.
Li Jingtian, who was hiding not far away, did not chase after the retreating Japanese. He knew that the Japanese in front of him were definitely not as bad as they looked. It was just that they did not understand this forest yet.
Li Jingtian patted the dirt off his body and turned around to chase after Jiang Qiong and the others.
Meanwhile, Yamaguchi Naoki led his defeated army and retreated.
As soon as Li Jingtian walked out of the forest, he ran into Jiang Qiong and a few of her men who were rushing over.
"Sigh, why are you guys here? Where are they?"
"We were worried about you, so we came to help you. I've already sent them to the Lei Family Village, don't worry. Also, where are those Japanese?"
Seeing that Li Jingtian was fine, Jiang Qiong's worried heart finally relaxed.
It turned out that after Jiang Qiong saw that Li Jingtian had successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese, she had quickly brought the rescued girls and fled from this troublesome place. When they arrived at the Lei Family Village, Jiang Qiong could hear gunshots coming from the distance. She was worried, so she left two people behind to take care of the girls. Then, she brought the others to help Li Jingtian.
"I shot a few of those devils to death with my arrows, and two of them fell into a pit in the forest. I reckon that they won't survive. The rest of the devils have run away.”
"Is that so? I didn't expect you to be able to defeat so many well-equipped Japanese with just a bow and arrow. It seems that your reputation as a master archer isn't just for show.”
"I dare not say anything else, but if they want to fight me in this forest, then they are asking for trouble. It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that they would destroy as many as they came, but they could still make them suffer heavy losses. Sigh, but…"
As Li Jingtian spoke, he suddenly thought of something.
"But what?"
Jiang Qiong saw the change in Li Jingtian's expression and quickly asked.
"These devils are a little different from the other devils. Whether it was their attire, the weapons in their hands, or even their skills, they were much stronger than the Japanese they had encountered before.”
"Oh? Was that so? There are such devils."
"I can take you there to take a look. They left in a hurry just now and didn't have time to take the two Japanese who died in the pit.”
"Oh, okay, let's go take a look."
Li Jingtian led Jiang Qiong and the others back to the pit.
"Look, aren't these two Japanese different from the other Japanese?”
Jiang Qiong looked into the pit and indeed saw two ghosts in other clothes lying at the bottom of the pit.
"Wang Qiang, quickly get someone to bring them up to take a look.”
"Yes."
" Alright," Wang Qiang agreed. Together with the others, they carried the two dead Japanese up.
Jiang Qiong went forward to check the clothes the Japanese were wearing, then picked up a gun used by the Japanese and said,"This is a German-made MP40 submachine gun. This type of gun has strong firepower and is most suitable for close combat and charging. I really didn't expect these Japanese to be equipped with such advanced weapons. It seems that this group of Japanese is really not ordinary. I will go back and investigate what their purpose in coming to Yuling is.”
After saying this, Jiang Qiong said to Wang Qiang,"Take off the clip belt from the Japanese. I don't want to leave such a good thing to the Japanese.”
Wang Qiang responded and bent down to remove the clip belt from the front of the two Japanese soldiers.
"Hey. Second Young Master, this Japanese guy is really rich. He actually has ten magazines.”
"Really? This is not just any ordinary wealth. Do you know that this gun can hold 32 bullets in one magazine? Ten magazines can hold more than 300 bullets. Alright, Wang Qiang, bury these two devils. We'll wait for you at Lei Village."”
"What is it? Second Young Master, did I hear wrongly? You even buried these two dogs? I think it's better to leave it here to feed the wolves!”
"We're different from them. They're inhumane, but we can't be inhumane! Otherwise, what was the difference between them and him? Alright, do as I say."
"Yes." Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
When Li Jingtian and Jiang Qiong arrived at the Lei Family Residence, Xiao Lan immediately ran over to grab his hand and asked,""Brother Tian, where are the others in our village? Where are my father and mother?"
Li Jingtian looked at the eighteen-year-old girl. Although he had just rescued her from the wolf's den, he had no choice but to tell her the truth that her parents were dead.
"Sister Xiaolan, what I know now is that other than you and me, Lei Yiming is still alive. The others are all dead. I buried your father and mother in your courtyard.”
"Father! Mother! Wuwuwu…"
Xiao Lan could no longer suppress her grief and burst into tears.
Xiao Lan's cries resonated with the other sisters who had been ravaged. For a moment, their sobs and cries resounded throughout the ruins of the Lei Family Residence...
"Sisters, now is not the time for us to cry. We have to leave this place quickly.”
After Jiang Qiong shouted at the crying girls, he turned to Li Jingtian and said,""Our top priority now is to find a safe place to settle these people down. The Japanese have been attacked one after another in a day. I'm worried that they will come for revenge.”
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a place. Let them and our people hide in the cave at the back of the mountain.”
"Is it safe there?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe there. However, we have more than 200 people now. I'm afraid that food will be a problem.”
"I'll solve the food problem. I'll send someone to deliver some food to you tomorrow.”
"Alright, then let's hurry up the mountain before it gets dark.”
"Alright, when Wang Qiang and the others come back, we'll set off immediately.”
