Nearly a thousand people from four or five battalions of the entire section were all lying in ambush on the hills on both sides of the temple entrance under Garzi's orders.
"All of you, pull yourself together. Isn't it just a few cannonballs? Was he that scared? The Stone Forest Mountain is right in front of us. Full speed ahead!" He Yong shouted angrily at the soldiers who were so scared that they did not dare to come out from the roadside.
At this moment, the car could no longer drive, so they had to drive on foot.
However, they did not know that there was an ambush waiting for them at the entrance of the temple not far ahead.
The adjutant constantly used the binoculars to observe the terrain in front of him. He had a bad feeling. He put down the binoculars and leaned over to He Yong's ear to remind him with a laugh,"Guild Leader, I think there's an ambush ahead. Why don't we wait and talk?”
"Wait?" He Yong frowned and said disapprovingly,"Why should we wait? We have to end this quickly. With so much good equipment, do we have to be afraid of their ambush? I don't believe that a group of nobodies would have such weapons prepared.”
"But regiment commander, those were long-range artillery shells! It seemed to be coming from Stone Forest Mountain!”
"So what? Didn't they just seize a few cannons from the Japanese? I reckon that's all they have. Cut the crap. Am I the regiment commander or are you the regiment commander?”He Yong looked at the adjutant in annoyance.
However, not long after they set off, the signalman hurriedly ran over and handed the telegram he had just received to the adjutant!
"Commander, the higher-ups have called. They want us to retreat immediately and stop attacking Stone Forest Mountain.”As he spoke, the adjutant handed the telegram in his hand to He Yong who was walking.
He Yong, who was already furious, took the telegram and tore it into pieces without even looking at it. Finally, he threw it into the air and said coldly,"Damn it, if you want me to retreat at this time, you really know how to pick the right time. Then, do you think I'll just let it go after losing more than ten of my brothers? Moreover, they haven't taken back the fat meat that they robbed.”
Looking at He Yong's fearful expression, the adjutant originally wanted to persuade him to withdraw his troops, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the temple. However, they clearly did not discover the ambush here.
The adjutant subconsciously used his binoculars to look at the surrounding hills, but it was not easy to find any clues in the green leaves that covered the mountains and plains.
Suddenly, a roar sounded from the hills on both sides. A series of gunshots followed, and the dense bullets rained down from the hills on both sides.
Before He Yong and the others could react, another wave of artillery shells flew down, instantly sealing off all their escape routes.
"Rumble!"
The cannonball carried a deafening sound, and the birds in the surrounding hills and forests were immediately frightened and flew in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of soldiers under He Yong were buried in the smoke of the artillery shells.
"There's an ambush. Everyone, quickly find cover.”He Yong was completely stunned. For a moment, he actually did not know how to dodge the bombardment of the cannonballs.
If it wasn't for the adjutant's quick reflexes, he would have been injured long ago.
"Stop!"
After a round of explosions, Garzi suddenly shouted.
"Regiment commander, we should fire another round of cannon fire at them to ensure that they are completely wiped out!”Zheng Tianhu was enjoying himself. When he saw Garzi suddenly shout for him to stop, he turned his head and asked with some regret.
Zhuge Hongjin waved the feather fan in his hand and said with a faint smile,"As long as these people are scared, there's no need to kill them all. After all, they are also Chinese people who have fought the Japanese.”
"That's right, Brother Zhuge is thinking the same thing as me! Shun Zi, I'll leave the rest to you. It's best to capture these ignorant fellows alive. Go!”
As soon as Garzi finished speaking, Judge, Zheng Tianhu, and the others were a little impatient. Zheng Tianhu volunteered excitedly,"Captain, we'll go too. We'll definitely catch two big fish for you this time!”
"That's right, there's still me." The judge echoed.
"I'm going too. I've never captured a big fish from the national army before. I wonder how it feels, hahaha!”A few of the backbone members of the Great Liangshan also clamored eagerly.
In the past, when they were bandits, they did not dare to confront the national army head-on. That was because the other party's equipment was excellent, while his side only had some ordinary guns.
They did not expect that after joining the Ferocious Tiger Regiment, they would be able to personally capture their captives. This was something that Zheng Tianhu and the others did not even dare to think about in the past.
Gazi didn't stop him. After nodding, Zheng Tianhu and the others followed Shun Zi and rushed down without waiting for him to speak.
With the cover of bullets from both sides, Zheng Tianhu and the others were like tigers descending the mountain. In less than a minute, they had rushed to the main road below.
The thick smoke had already blocked He Yong and the rest of the soldiers. They could not even open their eyes, let alone know how many of their comrades had died.
However, just as He Yong was helped up by his adjutant and finally cleared away the smoke a few steps away, he saw Zheng Tianhu and the others standing there with smiles on their faces.
The adjutant jumped and raised the gun in his hand, intending to shoot at Zheng Tianhu and the others.
However, just as he raised his hand a little, a flying knife stabbed his wrist, and the pistol slipped to the ground.
"Aiya!"
"Deputy Li, what's wrong?" Of course, He Yong also saw that there were no less than fifty to sixty people standing on the opposite side. The ones leading them were really Chang Shun and Zheng Tianhu, as well as a black-faced judge.
He knew that he was finished this time, but he was most concerned about his adjutant.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't listen to his adjutant and acted willfully, he wouldn't have fallen into their ambush.
"I, I'm fine!" Adjutant Li endured the pain from his wrist and gritted his teeth to pull out the flying knife. He pressed on the bleeding wound with one hand and slammed his arm against He Yong as he said loudly,"Guild Leader, run! Don't bother about me!”
He Yong, who was almost knocked down by the adjutant, staggered and steadied himself.
"So it's Leader He!" Zheng Tianhu laughed heartily. I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances today. It's really God's will to play tricks on us!”
Zheng Tianhu's face could not be seen clearly through the thick fog. After He Yong fixed his eyes on the person who spoke, his face immediately revealed a resentful anger. He said in a deep voice,"Zheng Tianhu! You ungrateful bastard, I thought you were my brother, but I didn't expect you to join the 8th Sect!”
