Chapter 2: Special Forces

The four enemy soldiers quickly turned their guns around and aimed once more, yet the target vanished once again from in front of their muzzles

The several Japanese soldiers on guard all looked dumbfounded, and in their urgency, they didn't even know what to do

Xu Rui swiftly dodged and, taking advantage of the momentum, thrust his weapon, piercing through the Japanese soldier who was closely following the sergeant. The Japanese sergeant missed his strike, nearly grazing past Xu Rui. This sergeant was indeed fierce; realizing he had no time to retract his rifle, he simply discarded his Type 38 rifle and seized Xu Rui around the waist, attempting to throw him to the ground.

Xu Rui, standing at 1.85 meters tall with a strong build and long arms, unexpectedly seized the throat of the Japanese lieutenant, who, despite his robust physique, was shorter in stature. The lieutenant found himself lifted off the ground, his feet dangling with no leverage to escape. In a hurry, he reached out to grasp Xu Rui's wrist, straining to pry it open, only to discover that Xu Rui's grip was as unyielding as a vice, not budging an inch.

Xu Rui seemed to have been completely enraged, removing his backpack and pointing his finger at the Japanese lieutenant's nose, continuing to scold him relentlessly in Japanese. His expression grew increasingly agitated, and in the end, he not only slapped the Japanese lieutenant twice but also grabbed him by the neck, lifting him entirely off the ground

The four enemy soldiers once again turned their guns, attempting to aim at Xu Rui for the third time, only to find that there was no opportunity left, as Xu Rui had already closed in on them. At such a close distance, firing would easily risk injuring their own men. The leading sergeant immediately shouted, and the four enemy soldiers abandoned their plan to shoot, preparing to engage Xu Rui in hand-to-hand combat.

More than twenty soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army all widened their eyes, looking at Xu Rui as if he were a monster

Xu Rui turned and lunged at a Japanese soldier. Although the soldier knew full well that he was no match for Xu Rui, he still mustered the courage to confront him, inspired by the spirit of Bushido.

According to common sense, a pilot graduating from flight school is at least a lieutenant, and a lieutenant instructs a second lieutenant. How could these privates, with the highest military rank of sergeant, dare to interfere

Lin Feng and about twenty remaining soldiers finally awoke from their dream, quickly scattering to collect the weapons of the Japanese soldiers. The weapons of seven Japanese soldiers were insufficient to distribute, and many of the Nationalist soldiers could only receive two sweet melon grenades.

Therefore, Xu Rui is able to speak authentic Kansai dialect Japanese fluently

Xu Rui reached out to catch the Type 38 rifle, turned around, and delivered a swift thrust. The sharp bayonet had already pierced the heart of the enemy machine gunner beside him. In a flurry of movements, all of this was executed seamlessly. In the blink of an eye, the three closest enemies to Xu Rui were all eliminated. It was only at this moment that the remaining four enemies seemed to awaken from their stupor

Xu Rui's lips curled into a cold smile. Within the range of 20 to 100 meters, the power of a rifle far exceeds that of a handgun; however, in close combat within 20 meters, the power of a rifle is significantly inferior to that of a handgun. The reason for this lies in the fact that a rifle has a longer barrel, a longer aiming radius, and consequently requires a longer time for aiming and locking on.

In Japan, the hierarchy is strict; the other party not only holds a high military rank but also comes from an upper-class background in a major city. What can they do in such a situation

Lin Feng had served in the military for ten years, holding the position of Major General and Chief of Staff of a division. He had seen and experienced much, yet he had never encountered such a formidable army

Xu Rui briefly indulged his craving for a cigarette before promptly extinguishing the cigarette butt

To become a soldier king, exceptional self-control is an essential basic quality.

Xu Rui's lips curled into a cold smile once again; he held no pity for the little devils. Even if they surrendered, he would never let them go. He raised his hand and forcefully threw the Type 38 rifle he had been holding. The sharp bayonet instantly pierced through the air and plunged into the heart of the last remaining enemy soldier.

During his studies at the Nanjing Military Academy, for certain reasons, Xu Rui chose Japanese as his first foreign language. In order to improve the standard of his Japanese pronunciation, Xu Rui spent a full three months in Osaka as an intern military attaché at the Chinese Consulate General, with the purpose of correcting his Japanese pronunciation

Lin Fengmu stared blankly at Xu Rui, his heart surging with tumultuous waves

Xu Rui became somewhat annoyed and shouted: "What are you still dawdling for? Are you waiting for the little devils to come back and award you? The Best Captive Award?"

Until Xu Rui crushed the throat bone of the Japanese lieutenant with a "crack," the surrounding Japanese soldiers had not yet reacted

Although the quality of the southern pistol is poor and it often jams during shooting, its lethality is still quite strong, and its accuracy is decent. In close combat, it is still usable, at least better than being unarmed.

Picking up a Type 38 rifle loaded with bullets, Xu Rui also took two ammunition belts from the corpse of a Japanese soldier and strapped them to himself. The standard ammunition carried by a Japanese soldier is two hundred rounds, so with the two ammunition belts, he had four hundred rounds of bullets, sufficient for Xu Rui's combat needs for a day. Carrying more would only be a waste, wasting physical strength

Unfortunately, before the Japanese sergeant could exert his strength, Xu Rui pulled out the bayonet from the already deceased Japanese soldier. At the same time he withdrew the bayonet, the butt of the Type 38 rifle struck heavily against the sergeant's cheek. This blow was quite severe, as the jujube wood butt directly shattered the sergeant's skull

The enemy sergeant took a step forward, thrusting the bayonet towards Xu Rui's heart.

Xu Rui crushed the throat bone of a Japanese lieutenant with a single claw, and then with a swift step, he closed in on another enemy soldier. Before the soldier could react, Xu Rui quickly reached out with both hands, pressing down on the opponent's forehead and chin, and then with a sudden forceful twist, the soldier's neck bone snapped with a crack, and his entire head bent down at a strange angle

After finishing the tidying up, Xu Rui turned around and found that the more than twenty Nationalist soldiers were still sitting there in a daze

Because these few soldiers are all fishermen from Shikoku Island, which is a rural area compared to Kansai, regional discrimination is not only present in China; in fact, it is even more severe in Japan.

Lin Feng stared wide-eyed, looking at Xu Rui in a daze, his face filled with disbelief. My goodness, is this real? I can't be seeing things, can I? In this world, there actually exists such a formidable powerhouse? This guy made the fierce little devils seem like they were made of paper, easily dealing with them in just a few moves.

Regrettably, courage cannot compensate for the significant gap in strength

Although there were no obvious military rank insignias on Xu Rui, the Japanese second lieutenant quickly stood at attention, bowing respectfully to Xu Rui while repeatedly saying "Sumimasen" and signaling the surrounding Japanese soldiers to lower their weapons. Several Japanese soldiers who had their guns pointed at Xu Rui did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly shifted their gun barrels away.

In just over ten seconds, an entire half of an infantry squad, seven enemy soldiers, were all killed

The enemy soldier collapsed backward, and the Type 38 rifle he held in his hand also fell to the ground

Xu Rui turned around to face the last enemy soldier. At that moment, the last enemy soldier had just made a thrusting motion. Upon seeing Xu Rui turn, the soldier immediately froze in place. After all, not all enemy soldiers can face death without fear. Confronted by the god-like Xu Rui, the last enemy finally felt fear.

More than twenty remnants of the National Revolutionary Army turned their eyes towards Lin Feng

Thus, the Japanese army second lieutenant flailed in mid-air like a dying fish on the verge of suffocation

Yet no one responded to Xu Rui. More than twenty soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army, including a general bearing the rank of major general, all maintained a dazed sitting posture, staring blankly at Xu Rui, not even blinking their eyes.

The remaining four enemies finally realized that Xu Rui was the adversary, quickly raised their guns, and prepared to shoot

Could it be that this individual before me served in the special forces in Germany? Otherwise, how could he be so formidable? He can even fly a plane

Seeing Lin Feng empty-handed, Xu Rui threw the crooked handle over to him

However, although many military personnel from China have been sent to study in Germany over the years, there has never been any report of Chinese individuals serving in the German military, let alone in special forces

The violent impact instantly rendered the enemy sergeant completely unconscious

The remaining two enemies, upon seeing their opponent's formidable strength, immediately split to the left and right, attempting to encircle Xu Rui.

In just one sliding step, Xu Rui's figure vanished from in front of the guns of four enemy soldiers

Xu Rui's authentic Kansai dialect Japanese immediately stunned several little devils

"I surrender, I surrender!" The enemy soldier fell to his knees and pleaded, "Please don't kill me, I beg you."

Having finished speaking, Xu Rui crouched down and walked away with his rifle in hand

Out of the blue, Lin Feng recalled a classmate of his who worked as a staff officer in the General Headquarters. This classmate had studied in Germany and once mentioned at a gathering that a brand new type of troop had emerged in the German military combat order: special forces. It was said that they were directly under the German General Headquarters Military Intelligence Agency, and all members were selected from among millions of German soldiers.

With just two actions, a thrust and a draw of the sword, he swiftly and decisively eliminated two enemy soldiers.

Xu Rui thought for a moment and then took the Type 14 Nambu pistol belonging to the Japanese army second lieutenant

Lin Feng hoisted the crooked handle and said, "Hurry up and follow me"

Xu Rui deflected the bayonet thrust by the enemy soldier and, taking advantage of the momentum, delivered a kick that struck the small enemy soldier in the abdomen. The enemy soldier immediately curled up and collapsed to the ground, convulsing. Although Xu Rui's kick appeared casual, it was actually laced with lethal intent, as it directly shattered the enemy soldier's bladder, leaving even his Amaterasu unable to save him.

Xu Rui, however, remained completely unconcerned; in his eyes, these two little devils were nothing more than the equivalent of sheep. One might ask, does a lion care about the attacks of sheep?

To avoid any misunderstanding, what Xu Rui is speaking this time is naturally Mandarin, pure Mandarin

Turning back, Xu Rui saw more than twenty Nationalist soldiers sitting on the ground not far away

Xu Rui grinned, pulled a pack of cigarettes from the corpse of a Japanese soldier, placed one in his mouth, then rummaged through the nearby ruins to find a smoking stick of wood, lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and then, smiling, raised the pack of cigarettes towards the more than twenty Nationalist soldiers still sitting dumbfounded on the ground, saying: "Would you like to have one too?"

Xu Rui did not even have the intention to move forward for the finishing blow, as he possessed absolute confidence in his own strike. Including the first Japanese lieutenant, these seven little devils were undoubtedly as good as dead.

Within twenty meters, if Xu Rui can be locked onto by a rifle, can he still be considered a king of soldiers

Xu Rui's cold gaze swept over Lin Feng and the faces of more than twenty wounded soldiers, saying: "The reinforcements from the little devils will arrive soon; this is not a place to linger. Those who wish to survive, follow me."

These elites, in addition to their formidable skills and abilities to traverse both heaven and earth, can even operate submarines

The last enemy soldier struggled forward and soon fell silent
