Chapter 408: Concentrate Firepower to Break Out
The Japanese quickly gathered in the direction of the gunshots. Qin Shili, Li Jianwei and the second in command rushed left and right. They had already shot at the enemy at close range, and everyone was a little furious. Three of the second in command's men had died at the hands of the Japanese. They dispersed and fought against the Japanese to break through. The Japanese gunshots were like raindrops. Colonel Kido heard the gunshots and urged his Japanese to run forward. He really thought they had encountered Ou Laosan's large group.
Wang Xueliu knew, of course, that if they waited one more minute to break out, Qin Shili, Li Jianwei and the second in command would be in greater danger. However, she also understood that if she gave a sign to Que Dongjin, the main force here would break out of the enemy's encirclement and engage in a fight with the Japs. Qin Shili and the others' strategy of attracting the enemy would become ineffective, and she could only wait patiently.
Qin Shili ran fast. Not only was she an accurate shooter, she also changed positions in time. Every time she killed a Japanese soldier, she would change positions and charge towards the periphery. Li Jianwei also changed positions while fighting. The two of them made the Japanese soldiers mistakenly think that there were many people breaking through. The Japanese soldiers could not see anyone and could only shoot at the bushes. The Japanese soldiers who just saw the slightest movement had no time to react before their heads exploded again.
Gao Weilan, Li Yongjun and others also rushed towards the sound of gunfire. They didn't know that it was Que Dongjin and his team trying to break out. They just wanted to get there quickly and make a passage behind the enemy to rescue Que Dongjin.
Wang Xueliu finally saw the end of the moving Japanese troops. She thought, in another two minutes, her people could sneak through!
"Why haven't you started to break out yet? The gunfire over there is still very intense. The Second in Command and his men must have engaged the enemy head-on!" Ou Lao San said to Que Dongjin anxiously, but although he was anxious, his voice was still very low.
"Brother, don't be anxious. Let's wait a little longer. Wang Xueliu in front hasn't sent a signal yet, which means the Japanese soldiers in front are moving towards that direction. However, there are too many of them and they haven't finished moving in a short time." Que Dongjin said.
"Could it be that Qin Shili and the second in command are really going to be surrounded by the enemy?" Ou Lao San looked at Que Dongjin.
"Their mission is to hold the enemy back, otherwise, we'll all be doomed! Whether any of them can get out alive depends on luck," said Que Dongjin.
"These damn Japs! I really want to rush out and fight them!"
"Old Third, don't be impulsive! We are not fighting the Japs to death, but to fight them better and defeat more Japs in the future." Little Bee gently advised Old Third Ou.
"Brother, we can't act recklessly! I also can't bear to see Qin Shili and the others being surrounded by the enemy. But, we can't let all our brothers and sisters be surrounded by the enemy! You must control your emotions. I know you can't bear to leave behind any of your brothers, and so can I." Que Dongjin said.
"The Japanese really paid a heavy price this time! They actually dispatched so many Japanese soldiers!" said the little bee.
"Okay! Wang Xueliu has sent out a signal, asking everyone to move forward quietly! Be careful to hide!" Que Dongjin saw Wang Xueliu using sign language to tell him that the Japanese had moved there.
"Pass the message down, quickly pass through the Japanese blockade, but be careful to hide!" Que Dongjin whispered to Ou Laosan, Little Bee and the people behind him.
After Que Dongjin finished speaking, he moved towards Wang Xueliu. Wang Xueliu watched the Japanese soldiers moving ahead vigilantly.
As soon as Que Dongjin arrived at Wang Xueliu's side, Wang Xueliu stood up and quietly moved forward. Que Dongjin quickly took charge of the alert, pointing his gun at the Japanese soldiers who were moving. He knew that the Japanese children in the rear team of the moving Japanese soldiers were within his range, and they might still be able to discover Wang Xueliu and the others.
Que Dongjin and Wang Xueliu took turns advancing forward, followed by Ou Laosan, Little Bee and others.
"Little Bee, Que Dongjin and his men are really good at fighting! If it were us, we would never have been able to break through the enemy's encirclement and would have been wiped out by the Japanese." Ou Laosan whispered to the little bee beside him.
"Don't talk, we haven't broken out yet!" said the little bee.
"Que Dongjin will definitely be able to lead us out. But the second in command and the others might all be sacrificed."
"Talkative!" The little bee spit out two words.
Qin Shili didn't know how many of the brothers led by the second in command had died, but she just found out that Li Jianwei was still alive, and he was dozens of meters away from her, cooperating closely with her. She also knew that the people led by the second in command had not all died, and the gunshots showed that there were at least four or five more who were also fighting the devils.
Qin Shili's judgment was correct. The second in command had not died, and four of his brothers were still alive. However, the number of enemies increased, and the speed at which the second in command and his four brothers pushed outward became slower and slower, and they were even forced to retreat. The second in command knew that he, who always said that he had a good life, was doomed this time.
Gao Weilan and Li Lexuan were running in front. Li Lexuan said to Gao Weilan as they ran, "How long can Que Dongjin and the others hold out? Can they wait until we open a gap?"
"Que Dongjin and his men don't know that we will rescue them from the outside. How long they can hold on depends on their luck! Li Lexuan, tell me the truth, have you really always loved Que Dongjin in your heart?" Gao Weilan asked.
"Time is life! Stop talking about this!" Li Lexuan said, looking at the people behind her, "Hurry up!"
When Wang Xueliu and Que Dongjin passed through the enemy's encirclement, they lay on the grass and said to Ou Laosan and Little Bee who were sneaking towards them, "Hurry up and run outside with your brothers!"
"Have we escaped the Japanese encirclement?" asked Ou Lao San.
"I don't know either! We have escaped from one of their encirclements, but I don't know if they have a bigger encirclement outside!" said Que Dongjin.
"You asked me to take the men and run away, so why are you staying here? Do you want to shoot at the Japanese to reduce the pressure on the second in command and create a chance for them to break out?" asked Ou Lao San.
"We will cover your retreat! You guys should withdraw quickly! Our people can run fast!" said Wang Xueliu.
"Why do you always leave danger to yourself? Little Bee, take your brothers and retreat quickly. I will stay and cover your retreat with Que Dongjin and the others!" said Ou Lao San.
"No! We need to attract the enemy, then we can fight together and retreat while fighting!" said the little bee.
"Little Bee, if this continues, we will not be able to escape the Japanese encirclement! They will still hold on to us tightly! The efforts of the Second in Command and Qin Shili will be in vain! Take your people and retreat!" said Wang Xueliu.
"Retreat quickly! Don't waste time!" Que Dongjin turned around and glared at the little bee.
"Brothers, follow me quickly!" said the little bee and ran forward.
Que Dongjin watched Little Bee running away with his men, then looked at Wang Xueliu and Ou Laosan beside him and said, "In a moment, we will shoot at the Japs behind us. When the enemy turns around, we should not linger in the fight but retreat while fighting. Do you understand?"
"Got it! We have to break out and let the Japanese follow us at the same time." said Ou Lao San.
Li Lexuan suddenly stopped and squatted. She saw Gao Weilan squatting beside her: "Do you see the Japanese in front? When Li Yongjun and the others come over, we will attack together. When Que Dongjin and the others hear the gunshots, they will definitely come towards us."
"I understand." Gao Weilan said and turned around to look at Li Yongjun and the others. Li Yongjun and Ai Lian soon came to Gao Weilan and the others.
"Everyone spread out and rush forward, trying to connect with Que Dongjin and the others. Pay attention! Our people need to keep some distance, otherwise we will get in and be trapped by the Japanese again! If that happens, we will all be trapped in the Japanese's pocket!" said Gao Weilan.
"Gao Weilan, we divide into three groups. Each group will move 200 meters forward and backward and start fighting together. After reaching the current enemy position, one group will be left behind to clear out the Japanese on both sides and keep the passage open." Li Lexuan said.
"Okay! Li Yongjun, you will be in the outermost group to support us, and Li Lexuan will be in the middle group." Gao Weilan said.
"Gao Weilan, take a few people with you to form a group in the middle. It's too dangerous for you to rush in." Li Lexuan said.
"Follow my orders! When we set out, Director Li told me to be responsible! Our group is not in danger? Hurry! Start, fight!" Gao Weilan said as she stood up and shot at the enemy. They rushed inside while shooting.
Qin Shili quickly realized that the gunshots were not right! She thought, could it be that Que Dongjin and his men broke out and went behind the enemy to pick her up? No, how could it be so fast? Yes, this is near our training camp, could it be that the sisters of the Women's Super Action Team came to pick us up?
Li Jianwei also heard the gunshots from the outside, and he judged that the gunshots were aimed at the Japanese. He did not expect that there would be someone outside to support him. He quickly changed his combat tactics and began to approach his own people, preparing to concentrate firepower to break through.
Qin Shili also felt that they should get closer to the few survivors. Everyone should not disperse, but concentrate their firepower to break out. In this way, they could coordinate well with the people outside.
Li Jianwei retreated several dozen meters while fighting. He found the second in command and shouted loudly, "Second in command! How many of your brothers are still alive? Let them get close to us and concentrate our firepower to break out! Someone is outside to help us!"
"I don't know how many brothers are left! Brothers, quickly get close to Instructor Qin and the others, concentrate your firepower and break out!" said the second in command.
Que Dongjin and Wang Xueliu certainly didn't know that Qin Shili was already being met by the women's special operations team outside. He looked at Little Bee and the others, but couldn't see them anymore. He said to Wang Xueliu, "Let's go! Catch up with the enemy team, kill a few devils behind them, and then we can run back!"
"Yes!" Wang Xueliu replied and followed Que Dongjin to chase the moving Japanese.
