Chapter 10, Old Li the Scapegoat

The structure of this firearm is unique, and it requires strict maintenance; otherwise, it is prone to jamming. Additionally, the firing pin in this gun is very brittle and can easily break, resulting in an inability to fire properly

Team leader, are you not going to watch anymore

It must be him. That kid Lao Kong has really improved during this period. First, he snatched the main offensive task of attacking the Changpo stronghold from my hands at the headquarters, and now he has the audacity to come to my territory and intercept me. Damn it, this kid is outrageous!

Finding a venue, damn it, this kid Kong Jie not only snatched my profits on my turf, but he even expects me to take the blame for him! Is there any reason in this world for such a thing?

Two people are conversing

"This is the transport convoy of the enemy. Just look at the number of the Japanese puppet troops; it is still a transport squadron. This is indeed a prime target!"

"This is just a reminder to be more cautious when using this gun," Kong Jie said. "The battlefield has been mostly cleared, so send the order to retreat! Spread out the reconnaissance posts along the way."

Zhang Dabiao said: "The enemy suffered a great loss in Xiaolin Gully this time, an entire transport squadron! Not only did people die, but supplies were also looted. Given the vengeful nature of the enemy, they will definitely seek revenge. However, the mountain roads of Xiaolin Gully happen to fall within the operational area of our New First Regiment... Commander, it seems our New First Regiment is going to be targeted by the enemy!"

Another path: "There is a destroyed cart, and behind it, a truck seems to be on fire. It looks like a transport convoy of the enemy."

On the mountain road

Zhang Dabiao followed with a bitter smile

Li Yunlong suddenly realized, and immediately began to curse.

Team Leader, if we consider the area of deployment, the most likely assailants of this enemy transport convoy would be the troops under Team Leader Kong

A series of loud explosions suddenly erupted from the direction of Xiaolin Valley Mountain Road, not just one but a continuous succession of sounds. Li Yunlong and his group were startled and quickly turned their gaze towards Xiaolin Valley.

Good

From a distance, it could be seen that there were at least over a hundred enemy soldiers coming to provide support along the Xiaolin Valley mountain road. Li Yunlong naturally did not dare to act rashly and led his soldiers to hide on a concealed high slope to observe.

Li Yunlong was momentarily taken aback, and then his anger surged uncontrollably

As mentioned earlier, the Xiaolin Valley mountain road is within the operational range of the New Group. To put it more succinctly, this https://mhetushu.com is the territory of Li Yunlong

Xiaolin Gou Mountain Road

The scouts left behind met up with Li Yunlong and quickly reported: "Commander, the enemy is coming too!"

The transport truck destroyed by the grenade is still emitting black smoke amidst localized flames

What is most astonishing is that the body of this little devil seems to have been deliberately moved, arranged in groups of threes and twos along the way, stretching a distance of nearly one to two hundred meters, as if each one had died in sequence along the mountain path

Do you know what despair means? When this broken gun malfunctions, even committing suicide with it becomes a luxury

At this moment, Wang Leihu thought of something, "By the way, Commander, this ambush went very smoothly, and the landmines we buried in the front have not yet been used. Should we send someone to clear the landmines?"

Soon, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment finished clearing the battlefield. Under the leadership of Kong Jie, they pulled the Japanese transport team's mule carts (many mules had also been killed or injured) and handcarts back to the Independent Regiment's base via a concealed path

In the sudden explosion, about ten enemy soldiers died on the spot, with many more injured, and the wails echoed along the mountain road of Xiaolin Valley

The bodies of the enemies lay scattered on the ground, their clothes stripped away, leaving only tattered pieces of white undergarments.

Less than twenty minutes after Kong Jie and his group left, two soldiers dressed in Eighth Route Army uniforms and camouflaged with leaves arrived here upon hearing the sounds, discovering the situation on the mountain road of Xiaolin Gully

"Commander, what are you going to the Independent Regiment for"

The news quickly reached the new regiment's base, and upon hearing the news, Li Yunlong immediately rushed to the mountain road of Xiaolin Gully

Who the hell, with the audacity of a bear and the courage of a leopard, dares to steal meat on my territory

Li Yunlong brought only a small group of people this time, just about ten or so. In fact, they are merely here to assess the situation and have no intention of engaging in combat

The two seemed quite taken aback, and one said: "These are all the corpses of the enemy. Who ambushed them in this place?"

In the distance, Zhang Dabiao was stunned and said: "Captain, this team leader is truly impressive. It seems they have hidden grenades under the corpses of the enemy, and there are also deliberately arranged minefields! I never thought grenades could be used this way before"

The new regiment's Company Commander Zhang Dapiao, who came with Li Yunlong, pondered:

Wang Leihu chuckled and replied, "It's a Wang Ba Hezi from hetushucomcom, Captain. I know this gun; last time, a fellow townsman from the 772nd Regiment captured one like this during a battle and was quite proud of it for a long time!"

Kong Erlengzi

Li Yunlong, cursing and grumbling, was trembling with heartache. Had he known that this inconspicuous Xiaolin Gully would be traversed by a Japanese transport unit, he would have brought his men here to launch an ambush long ago

Kong Jie’s alarmist remarks startled Wang Leihu.

Boom

I am observing the situation here; you should quickly return to the base to report to the commander.

It is said that these two scouts are indeed soldiers of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army

"What is it?" Li Yunlong asked

"What good is this? I'm going back; I need to visit the Independent Regiment."

"It is!" Wang Leihu replied.

Li Yunlong nodded. The Xiaolin Goushan Road is not far from the nearest enemy-occupied county town. It is reasonable to expect that once the news of the battle is relayed back, the Japanese reinforcements would arrive swiftly.

Goodness, it turns out that when the Japanese army was collecting the bodies of the little devils along the mountain path, they triggered the hidden traps buried beneath the corpses of the devils

Another group of enemies directly stepped into the minefield that Wang Leihu had deliberately arranged by placing the corpses inside

The scolding gradually fades away

Kong Jie glanced at the pistol seized from Captain Wang Leihu of the First Battalion by the Japanese officer, and immediately lost interest

Kong Jiedao: "This is the Type 14 pistol from southern Japan, commonly referred to here as the 'turtle box.' It has a wooden grip and a metal body, but its performance is not particularly impressive. Its lethality at close range is decent, but at slightly longer distances, it becomes ineffective for killing; the accuracy deteriorates significantly, and the bullets tend to stray, making it very prone to accidental discharge"

Zhang Dabiao said: "Team Leader, I have thought of another matter."

Kong Jie pondered for a moment, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth: "No need to exert effort," and then he leaned close to Wang Leihu's ear and whispered a few words.

The enemy never anticipated that the attackers on the transport convoy would actually have such a backup plan.

Li Yunlong was equally astonished, "When did that old Kong kid start playing these tricks? I see, these corpses of the devils were deliberately placed here to lure the devils into the minefield at the back. Damn it, that's quite devious!"

Go back

Team leader, please don't scare me

Watching Xiaolin Gou Mountain Road, the Japanese soldiers, enraged by Kong Jie’s trickery, were beside themselves with fury

Seeing the company commander with an excited expression, Kong Jie still reminded him, "Do you know what kind of gun this is?"

The wheels of the truck, along with some parts, have also mysteriously disappeared, clearly having been pried away by someone
