Chapter 407: The Japs Will Turn Around Soon
Colonel Kito looked at Mishima Kawako with approval in his eyes. Mishima Kawako felt Colonel Kito's admiration for her under the moonlight, and she smiled at him charmingly.
The group of Japanese soldiers that cut off Que Dongjin and his men's way out was led by Chief Fujino Yoshiura. They had more than 200 Japanese soldiers. The chief did not notice the situation and commanded them to continue to extend the defense line forward. He believed that even if the opponent discovered the search in the mountain, they would not be able to jump out of the encirclement so quickly.
Gao Weilan and Li Yongjun have led their men to the foot of the mountain. They have discovered the enemy's perimeter, but they don't know which direction Que Dongjin will lead his men to break out from.
"Li Lexuan, let me ask you, if the place where Que Dongjin and his men broke out is far away from us, what should we do?" Gao Weilan stopped saying those sour words. She asked Li Lexuan for her opinion. She knew that Director Li asked her and Li Yongjun to lead the team because he believed that they were loyal to her and would bring Que Dongjin back. As for fighting, she knew that she was not as good as Li Lexuan.
"As soon as we heard the gunshots, we rushed towards the fighting site, fighting while getting closer to them, trying to create a passage for them to break through," said Li Lexuan.
"When we hear the gunshots, should we fight the Japanese and alert them?" Gao Weilan continued to ask.
" It is best not to alert the Japanese first. We have too few people. If we fight them, our routes will be cut off quickly or we may even be surrounded by them. The closer we are to Que Dongjin, the better. It would be best if we can shoot from behind the Japanese who are fighting against Que Dongjin. This way, it will be easier to carve out a path for them." said Li Lexuan.
"Okay, let's do as you planned. Should we judge which direction Que Dongjin will break out in?" Gao Weilan said.
"I think Que Dongjin will break out in our direction because there are many mountains here and he is more familiar with the terrain here. Also, I think Que Dongjin will think that this side is close to our training camp. If we knew the situation, we would definitely not ignore it. He also hopes that there will be someone on the enemy's periphery to help them." Li Lexuan said.
"Que Dongjin is so arrogant, would he think of asking us to help him?" Gao Weilan asked.
"He is very strong-willed and conceited. However, this does not mean that his analysis of the situation is blind," said Li Lexuan.
"Li Lexuan, you seem to know him very well! I hope you are right!" Gao Weilan said.
Li Lexuan's analysis was indeed correct, but it was not Que Dongjin who chose the breakout route, but Wang Xueliu. The breakout route she chose with Ou Laosan's men was towards the training camp. She knew that there were many mountains here and it was close to Director Li and his men. She also thought that Director Li and his men must have known about the Japanese encirclement and guessed that they were in the mountains.
Qin Shili led the second in command and the others to walk quietly for nearly twenty minutes. She said to the second in command, Wangcai, "Second in command, Que Dongjin is right. We must have the confidence to break through. When we break through and engage in a battle with the enemy, the first in command and the others will also start to break through. The enemy will not surround us. In addition, there will often be a chance of recovery. Let everyone have confidence."
"Got it. Even if we can't break out, the longer we hold on, the more advantageous it will be for the boss and his men to break out," said the second in command.
"When we break out, we need to spread out a bit. We can't have all thirteen of us gathered together," said Qin Shili.
"Why?"
"It's easy to be shot by the enemy if we gather together. If we disperse, each person can form a small team, which can tie up more enemies. If we separate, anyone who can break out can do so," said Qin Shili.
"There's no one to take care of it, so it's better for me to work in pairs." said the second in command.
"Okay! You all will be in groups of two, and I will be in a group by myself. However, even though we are scattered, it's not that we can't take care of each other. Scattered means we are relative to each other, but no one is several hundred meters apart. Do you understand what I mean?" Qin Shili said.
“I see.” The second in command thought to himself, I said this because I want to be in a group with you, but you said you are in a group by yourself.
"Okay, start to disperse and prepare to break out. Everyone, pay attention, as long as one person gets into a fight with the Japanese, the others must take the initiative to attack the enemy and fight to break out. Only in this way can we confuse the enemies in the distance and make them run in our direction, creating conditions for the boss and Que Dongjin and others to break out." Qin Shili said.
"Brothers, did you listen well? If you have listened well, start to disperse! Remember, we will start to break out in ten minutes. Once you hear gunshots, break out with all your might and fight the Japanese while breaking out!" said the second in command.
"Got it!" Everyone said and started to disperse.
Que Dongjin looked at the time and said to Ou Laosan, "Prepare to break out! Let's quietly approach the enemy's defense line. When Qin Shili and her team start to break out, we should not rush to open fire. The enemy will definitely rush over in the direction of the gunshots. At this time, it's best for us to quietly pass through their defense line, jump out of their encirclement, and then attack them fiercely. While fighting and retreating, we can attract the enemy's main force to our direction, which will help Qin Shili and her team survive!"
"Dongjin, I'll listen to you. We'll follow whatever you say and fight the Japanese." said Ou Laosan.
"That's right, we all listen to you. Que Dongjin, we all believe in your tactics." said the little bee.
"Okay. Let's start sneaking over there. From now on, we'll use sign language to communicate and must not alert the enemy." Que Dongjin said softly.
"Everyone understands!" said the little bee to her people.
Que Dongjin looked at Wang Xueliu and made a gesture to her, asking her to take Wang Hanyu to the front first. Wang Xueliu nodded, and took Wang Hanyu, Xie Mengqi, and Zheng Can to move forward quietly. After they moved a distance and saw that it was safe, they made a gesture to the back, and Que Dongjin and Ou Laosan led the group to move forward quietly.
Qin Shili found that she was getting closer and closer to the Japanese soldiers, who were blocking her way like a wall. She knew that Li Jianwei and the second in command were in the same situation as herself, except that the wall formed by the Japanese soldiers was "thick" and "thin". In some cases, there was a Japanese soldier every few meters, in some cases, there was only one Japanese soldier every ten meters. Some were alone, and some were in groups of three or five. They were all slowly searching towards the mountain, trying to narrow the encirclement.
Wang Xueliu also discovered that the Japanese were searching towards the mountains. She quickly used sign language to tell Que Dongjin and the others not to move forward and to wait for the opportunity. At the same time, she and Wang Hanyu did not dare to move forward, but hid themselves well.
Qin Shili thought that it would be best not to alert the Japanese. If she could sneak out of the Japanese encirclement by herself and then start shooting, the effect would be better. Because she could run fast, the Japanese would chase her and attract Japanese from other places. That would be the best way.
As Qin Shili thought about this, she moved towards the sparse Japanese soldiers and chose the direction of a single Japanese soldier. She quickly approached a Japanese soldier. She was not in a hurry to kill the Japanese soldier, but hid herself and waited for the Japanese soldier to approach.
The Japanese soldier came towards them with his gun in hand, stabbing at the haystack randomly. Qin Shili suddenly threw out a flying knife, and the Japanese soldier fell silently. Qin Shili ran over, took out the flying knife, and continued to move forward quietly. However, the Japanese soldiers did not have a single line of defense. She found that a Japanese soldier on the left was walking towards her again.
When the second in command saw two Japanese soldiers searching towards him, he quickly stopped his actions and pointed his gun at the soldiers from the haystack.
The Japanese soldiers also appeared in front of Li Jianwei. Li Jianwei was ready to shoot two Japanese soldiers with his gun to break through, but he held back and took out his flying knife instead. He knew that it was easy to kill two Japanese soldiers, but once the gunshots were heard, he would be surrounded by the Japanese soldiers.
The two devils did not realize that their death was approaching, and they continued to move forward and search.
Li Jianwei suddenly stood up, and two flying knives flew out at the same time, stabbing two Japanese soldiers and falling to the ground. At this time, the two men under the second in command saw three Japanese soldiers searching in front of them, and they became anxious. They communicated with sign language for a while, and then fired at the same time. The three Japanese soldiers were shot dead before they could understand what was going on.
As soon as the gunshots were heard, the Japanese soldiers nearby ran towards this side. Li Jianwei, Qin Shili, and the second in command, heard the gunshots and had no choice but to shoot at the Japanese soldiers nearby. For a moment, there was a loud gunshot and the Japanese soldiers nearby fell down one after another.
Colonel Kitano and Mishima Kawako had just discovered the village where Ou Laosan and his men lived. When they heard the sound of gunfire, Colonel Kitano had no time to go inside the village. He knew that the village must be empty. The place where the gunfire came from was where the enemy had broken through. He held his command knife and shouted in the direction of the gunfire: "Quick! Chase them! The bandits are running over there!"
Gao Weilan and the others also heard the gunshots. Li Lexuan heard that the gunshots were not far away from her, and she thought that Que Dongjin and the others were indeed breaking out towards her.
Qin Shili began to assassinate the Japanese soldiers and quickly killed the nearby Japanese soldiers. She had already approached the Japanese encirclement, so she ran towards the periphery while shooting at the Japanese soldiers. For a moment, the Japanese soldiers could not see anyone and could only hear the gunshots. They could only move closer to the gunshots, and the Japanese soldiers who just approached the gunshots were shot dead again.
Wang Xueliu saw the Japanese soldiers who were searching for her turned around, so she hid and did not move. The Japanese soldiers rushed towards the direction of the gunshots, but their defense line was too long. After one group passed, another group came over, like ants moving. She knew that if she tried to break through at this time, the Japanese soldiers would soon turn around again.
When Que Dongjin saw that Wang Xueliu did not send him any signal, he understood that there were still many Japanese soldiers ahead and the time to break out was not yet ripe. He used sign language to tell Ou Laosan and Xiao Mifeng to continue hiding and not make any noise.
