Chapter 84: Defeat Them One by One
The loud noise caused chaos among the Japanese soldiers and civilians.
The explosion was a little far away from ordinary people, so no one was injured. Everyone was frightened and ran away crying.
A few Japanese soldiers at the back tried to stop them, but the common people were so frightened by the explosion that they ignored them and swarmed to the back, like a surging tide.
Sato Ryo is looking for the attacker, but he has no clue. He remembers that he heard a gunshot just now, but how come there was an explosion suddenly?
Just when he was at a loss, the people began to flee to the back like a tide, which made him angry and he immediately ordered the machine gunners to shoot at the fleeing people.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Flames began to emerge from the muzzle of the Type 99 light machine gun, but only three bullets were fired. One bullet hit the machine gunner in the back of the head and he fell to the ground dead.
Sato Ryo finally discovered Liu Zhengfeng's location, and immediately drew out his command knife, pointed in Liu Zhengfeng's direction and shouted: "Kill that Chinese, shoot..."
When Liu Zhengfeng saw that the situation was not good, he immediately rolled over, rolled along the roof to the ladder, slid down the ladder, and immediately ran backwards.
After running more than a hundred meters and taking a look at the nearby layout, he immediately shrank his body behind the corner, loaded the bullet, held the muzzle horizontally, and quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.
There was the sound of running footsteps in front. Liu Zhengfeng's index finger was already on the trigger. He heard a yellow shadow swaying at the corner. He gently pulled the trigger and the shell flew backwards. He immediately loaded another bullet into the chamber and pulled the trigger again.
Two Japanese soldiers fell at the corner ahead, and the others hurriedly retreated and hid to the side where the enemy couldn't see them.
Sato Ryo chased after them breathlessly, and when he saw the soldiers shrinking back, he became furious.
"Asshole, why stop here?"
One soldier said boldly: "Commander, the enemy is over there, and he is a very good shooter."
Sato Ryo was furious and slapped the Japanese soldier loudly: "Bakayaro, he only has one person and one rifle, do you understand? You idiot."
"Hayi."
The Japanese soldier was terrified and immediately rushed out with his gun in hand. Suddenly, a bullet whizzed in, penetrated his forehead and exited from the back of his head, and he fell down limply.
Seeing this, the other soldiers retreated again. This time, Sato Ryo did not scold them. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to split into several groups and go around from another direction to outflank the enemy.
At this time, Iguchi Taro also rushed over and asked, "Sato-kun, is this enemy difficult to deal with?"
Sato Ryo frowned and said, "Hai, Iguchi-kun, this Chinese guy has killed eight of my soldiers, but I haven't even seen his shadow. He is indeed a very difficult person to deal with."
"But don't worry, as my guest, you just need to observe. No matter how powerful he is, I will catch him."
Iguchi Taro nodded and said, "Sato-kun, I have an unwelcome request. Please allow me to do so."
Sato Ryo said, "Mr. Iguchi, you can talk as you please."
Taro Iguchi said: "Just now, my historic breakthrough was destroyed by this Chinese. I think it would be more meaningful to use this Chinese as a sacrifice for my historic breakthrough. What do you think?"
Sato Ryo seemed to find it very interesting and laughed, "Yoshi yoshi, your idea is very good. It's settled."
The roads in Wangjia Village are well-connected, and there are gaps between each house for people to walk through. The party with more people can encircle the village from all directions, making the situation quite unfavorable for Liu Zhengfeng.
Liu Zhengfeng could tell from the enemy's footsteps that if he didn't run away he would be surrounded. He took a deep breath and ran towards the northwest corner of the village like the wind.
Wangjia Village is very large, and the Japanese army is limited in number, so it is impossible to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and search. If the troops are too dispersed, it will give the enemy the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Liu Zhengfeng took advantage of this and kept dealing with the Japanese soldiers. He would never get entangled and would not stay in the same place for more than thirty seconds. Often, when the Japanese army began to encircle them, he would escape without a trace.
There were constant sounds of gunfire in the village. Just now the gunfire was heard in the west, and then in the east. Liu Zhengfeng ran like the wind, erratic, and kept running around in the village, making the Japanese soldiers, who originally thought they had good physical fitness, complain bitterly.
What made Sato Ryo even more angry was that the enemy fired here and there, without missing a single shot, killing more than twenty Japanese soldiers in total. While he was angry, he also felt a hint of fear.
He couldn't believe that there was such a powerful soldier in the world. What was even more unacceptable to him was that this formidable soldier was a Chinese, whom he looked down upon.
As the commander, Sato Ryo only personally participated in the pursuit at the beginning. Since the enemy began to run all over the village, he no longer participated. Instead, he and Iguchi Taro sat in the middle of the village, and from time to time sent out signalmen to inquire about the progress of the pursuit.
The Japanese soldiers who were chasing Liu Zhengfeng complained bitterly and felt that the enemy was more and more terrifying. The enemy had abundant physical strength and excellent marksmanship. Most importantly, the enemy had a particularly keen sense of danger and always slipped away before they were about to complete the encirclement.
Liu Zhengfeng ran faster and faster. There was a tall haystack in front of him. He dodged and stopped behind the haystack. With eyes as sharp as lightning, he quickly glanced around to find a retreat route in advance.
At the same time, he listened carefully to the enemy's running footsteps and said to himself: "These grandsons are getting slower and slower."
As he spoke, he loaded the bullet into the chamber, slowly raised the sniper rifle horizontally, and aimed the muzzle at the corner in front.
I saw a Japanese soldier's head sticking out from the corner of the wall, and then suddenly retracted.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly. These Japanese soldiers were scared by his beating and had learned their lesson. But it was useless. He had plenty of patience.
The Japanese soldier thought there were no enemies on the opposite side, so he stepped out and ran forward.
Liu Zhengfeng sneered and gently pulled the trigger. The bullet penetrated the Japanese soldier's brow and exited from the back of his head. The yellow shell jumped out. He pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet.
The Japanese soldier in the front fell to the ground and died. The Japanese soldiers following behind immediately retreated and shouted behind the corner: "The enemy is over there in the haystack."
Liu Zhengfeng listened carefully and heard something like Japanese soldiers were encircling the house from the other side. He immediately retreated a few steps cautiously and came to the wall of another house, with the muzzle of his gun pointed at the other side of the house. If nothing unexpected happened, the encircling Japanese soldiers would come out from here soon.
Sure enough, three Japanese soldiers came over cautiously with guns in hand, their attention focused on the haystack where they had just been.
Liu Zhengfeng sneered, flicked his index finger, and killed another Japanese soldier.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
“Thump, thump, thump…”
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the southeast corner, and the fighting became fierce.
Liu Zhengfeng was startled, then overjoyed. He knew that Li Fei, Chen Wei and others had arrived and had already engaged in a firefight with the enemy.
