Chapter 4: Annihilation of the Enemy within the Village

The heavy hammer struck the ground, creating a large pit in the solid earth that had been compacted. The young girl then raised the hammer again, and only then did she realize he was speaking Chinese. The hammer, held high, did not come down as she suspiciously scrutinized the oddly dressed man before her, seemingly still unconvinced.

Listening carefully, Luo Xiao suddenly realized that there seemed to be a faint sound of breathing in the room. Although it had been deliberately suppressed, it could not escape his exceptionally sensitive ears

Luo Xiao remained silent, having realized that there were very few villagers still alive in the village. If he had not brought people here, it was likely that not a single survivor would have been left.

In Luo Xiao's mind, thoughts raced as he calculated the opponent's speed. Gritting his teeth, he shouted to the infiltration team, "Action!"

Luo Xiao Jian charged out, seizing the opportunity when the enemy soldiers in the courtyard were temporarily halted in their shooting due to the explosion. He leaped through the gap blown in the courtyard wall, and as soon as he landed, he fired two quick shots with his automatic rifle

The three-edged military dagger with Chinese characteristics was once a notorious military weapon in the world, and its reputation for delivering a swift death is undoubtedly a nightmare for any enemy. Luo Xiao has used many types of military sabers, but he finds that the military dagger is still the most satisfying to use

"Miss, please do not misunderstand, we are Chinese, and those Japanese are the ones we killed," Luo Xiao hurriedly explained, while signaling to the snipers on the earthen slope outside the village not to fire, in order to avoid accidentally injuring this young woman

Luo Xiao had not yet gotten up from the ground when a girl dressed in blue cloth burst out from inside the house, holding an oil hammer used for blacksmithing. While shouting, she swung the heavy hammer and brought it down on his head with a single blow

When!

"Who are you, and how did you come to our place?" The young girl scrutinized Luo Xiao carefully, noticing his colorful attire that made it nearly impossible to distinguish him from the crops in the fields. His face was painted with streaks of red and green, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes that shone with a cold light. He carried an oddly styled rifle on his back and held a triangular iron rod in his hand

Luo Xiao performed a sideways roll on the ground, taking cover behind a half-baked earthen wall. He then sprang out from the other side of the low wall, firing his automatic rifle in quick succession. The blood spurted from the chest of the Japanese soldier opposite him, who fell backward onto the ground!

There was a brief pause, and a few kilometers behind Luo Xiao and the others, the sound of explosions echoed one after another, with flames illuminating half the sky, resembling the fiery clouds of dusk

Without even glancing at the Japanese man who was already in a state of unconsciousness with blood streaming from his five senses and seven orifices, Luo Xiao lifted one foot and kicked another Japanese soldier who had rushed forward, sending him crashing into the door of a nearby thatched house

Little devils, I will fight you to the end

Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire roared from outside the village on their right side, bullets whizzing by like a torrential downpour. One even grazed Luo Xiao's temple, causing him to break out in a cold sweat

At that moment, a sharp whistling sound echoed in the sky above, causing Luo Xiao, who was familiar with the characteristics of various calibers of artillery, to change his expression dramatically, "It is the sound of a howitzer shell flying by"

Over the years, no one has truly been able to make Captain Luo Xiao feel this embarrassed

The four Japanese soldiers, who were brandishing bayonets in pursuit of the villagers, suddenly straightened their bodies, their faces frozen in a perpetual expression of bewilderment, as they released their Type 38 rifles and collapsed to the ground

"This is bad, the reinforcements of the enemy are here!" Luo Xiao turned around and saw the crops on the slope outside the village shaking. One by one, Japanese soldiers in manure-yellow uniforms rushed out, brandishing rifles and shouting. Several machine guns were also set up on the ridge of the field, firing wildly in this direction!

Upon seeing him, the young girl burst into tears, "He died, all killed by those damned little devils!"

The yard is very spacious, but the house is quite ordinary, consisting of low thatched cottages, with grass paper pasted over the windows. At this moment, the windows are half-closed, and there are no lights on inside, leaving it completely dark

Stepping up to the door, Luo Xiao looked around and discovered that the room was quite small. In the event of a struggle, the assault rifle would be too long to exert its power effectively. Therefore, he drew a triangular bayonet from the sheath on his leg

As Luo Xiao jumped into the courtyard, he was immediately spotted by Lieutenant He Nei, who let out a fierce roar and charged at Luo Xiao with his command knife raised, displaying a desperate demeanor

The two individuals passed each other and stood back to back. Lieutenant Hanoi swayed slightly, reached out to cover the wound from which blood was gushing, and then fell to the ground!

The situation is urgent; these few enemies must be dealt with immediately. I need to rush over and take a look, Luo Xiao thought to himself

With a loud "thud," Luo Xiao dramatically fell from the room to the outside, nearly causing the special forces soldier, who was closely observing him through a sniper scope from a nearby dirt slope, to have his eyes pop out in shock

The sniper and the fire support team secured the high ground, while the assault team and infiltration team followed me into the courtyard to conduct a sweep, leaving no one behind! Luo Xiao, seeing that his side had already gained control of the situation, immediately issued the order

However, it has been proven that he has made an error of empiricism this time

Luo Xiao paused briefly, then stepped into the room. However, as soon as one of his feet crossed the threshold, shadows flickered in the darkness, followed closely by a biting cold wind that rushed towards him!

Boom boom boom

The sound of "bang bang" echoed as several Japanese soldiers discovered Luo Xiao. Someone turned their gun and fired at him, the bullets whistling past him, causing brick fragments to fly everywhere

On the infiltration team, infiltrate through a detour! Seeing that a strong attack was ineffective, Luo Xiao decisively changed tactics and replaced it with the infiltration team

The gunfire erupted like a series of firecrackers, and the enemy, taking advantage of the courtyard walls, fought desperately in resistance. The assault team made two attempts but was unable to break through the enemy's blockade, and instead, one person sustained a minor injury

Soon, the remaining Japanese soldiers were suppressed in a courtyard to the west of the village, stubbornly resisting due to the advantage of the terrain, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements

Ah!

The sounds of explosions filled the yard, accompanied by the shockwave that sent flying the enemy soldiers' steel helmets, broken rifles, and severed limbs.

With the sound of the sniper rifle, four soldiers from the assault team emerged from behind the trees, their Type 95 improved assault rifles unleashing furious flames. Caught off guard, several Japanese soldiers were instantly riddled with wounds, collapsing to the ground like tattered rags. In comparison to the formidable firepower of the Type 95 improved automatic rifle, their bodies were simply too fragile to withstand a single blow

Only three enemy soldiers were still alive in the courtyard. Apart from one lieutenant who was holding a command knife and gasping for breath, the other two soldiers lay fallen under Luo Xiao's precise shots

Upon receiving the order, the infiltration team outside the courtyard sprang up from the ground, yanked the fuse from the hand grenade in their hand, and then tossed it into the courtyard with a flick of their wrist

Luo Xiao rushed out of the courtyard, straining to listen, and discovered that gunfire was erupting in the north, predominantly the sound of the Japanese soldiers' Type 38 rifles, with very few other gunshots, suggesting that the battle was heavily one-sided

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth as Luo Xiao brandished the triangular bayonet in his hand and charged towards Lieutenant Hanoi. As the two brushed past each other, he lowered his head to evade Hanoi's combat knife, and the triangular bayonet plunged fiercely into Hanoi's chest, before he effortlessly withdrew it.

Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Xiao rolled on the ground to evade the opponent's strike, then sprang up and quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the opponent, shouting, "Miss, do not take action, we are not Japanese!"

Calm and unhurried, Luo Xiao turned his right hand, the inverted military dagger pressed against his arm and flipped upwards, blocking the weapon that was cleaving towards him. He still had confidence in his own strength

Luo Xiao quietly reached the edge of the village, skillfully climbing over the low wall. He landed next to a Japanese soldier who was shooting at a fleeing villager with a rifle. The soldier swung his Type 95 assault rifle, and the hard alloy steel butt struck the opponent's temple fiercely, sending him rolling away for quite a distance

The first to take action were, unexpectedly, the snipers at the back. They knelt on one knee and pulled the trigger at the first opportunity. The slender sniper bullets shot out from the muzzle, whistling through dozens of meters, piercing the chests of four Japanese soldiers, erupting in a spray of blood mist

Having long since reached the infiltration team at the edge of the village, they leaped into action, coordinating with the assault team to charge towards the courtyard on the west side of the village from both flanks, aiming to capitalize on their momentum and eliminate the Japanese soldiers inside!

With a swift motion of his arm, a five-inch steel needle shot from his hand, piercing the forehead of the Japanese soldier who had been kicked to the door. The tip of the needle, propelled by his formidable strength, emerged from the back of the soldier's head and embedded itself more than an inch deep into the wooden door

Dada!

- Huh -

The triangular bayonet surprisingly appeared to her as an iron rod

"What are you doing? Are you not in cahoots with the enemy?" The young girl scrutinized Luo Xiao for a long time, and seeing him smiling as he sheathed the triangular bayonet, seemingly without any ill intent towards her, her hostility lessened somewhat

The invaders were taken aback and bewildered; they had originally thought they could easily kill these unarmed and unsuspecting villagers. However, to their surprise, a formidable team of highly skilled enemies suddenly emerged. Under the fierce assault from the opposing side, they suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat.

Kill!

Bang!

At this moment, the assault team had already scaled the low wall and occupied the stronghold on the main street of the village. With the cooperation of the snipers and machine gunners lying in wait on the earthen slope outside the village, they had sealed off various areas of the village. Any Japanese soldier daring to show his head was either targeted by the sniper's rifle, fell under the assault rifle, or was riddled with bullets from the machine gun

Luo Xiao replaced the magazine with a new one, then ran towards the house closest to the enemy's stronghold located to the west of the village, carrying his automatic rifle. This location was the nearest to the enemy, allowing for effective coordination with the infiltration team when they launched their attack shortly.

The weapon that struck from the darkness collided violently with Luo Xiao's military dagger, the intense impact even causing a shower of sparks to erupt between the two. Luo Xiao felt as if he had been struck on the arm by a giant hammer, the soreness and numbness rendering half of his body immobile. A tremendous force propelled him backward, causing him to stumble and trip over the threshold with his heel

Gently pushing open the door, the creaking sound of the crooked wooden door filled the air, and the darkness within the room rushed towards me

My name is Luo Xiao, and I am the captain of the Huya Special Forces. I came to investigate after discovering a situation, and unexpectedly found the Japanese killing people, so I engaged them in combat!" Luo Xiao explained his purpose, then looked around at the girl, "Where are your parents?"

The infiltration team, using the surrounding residents' houses for cover, quietly advanced towards the courtyard occupied by the Japanese invaders, inching closer to the enemy. As soon as they reached an effective attack distance, they would be able to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese forces
