Volume 1 Chapter 77 Rescue
A soldier, his face covered with a cloth, turned a jar over with his hands.
A jar of powder immediately fell
Five soldiers were holding large fans and waving them desperately at the entrance of the city gate.
For a moment, a mixture of red and white powder floated in the city gate passage.
In the dim city gate passage, no one noticed that the powder had floated over.
The seven members of the Lei family and the three Japanese soldiers led by Yamamoto Ikki were choked and started coughing.
What's this?
So pungent!
Could it be a biological weapon?
Yamamoto Ikki and the others were so anxious that they quickly covered their mouths for fear of absorbing the poisonous gas.
At this moment, four beams of light shone directly on their faces.
Yamamoto Ikki and the others couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
Once they closed their eyes, they lost the chance to open them again.
When he smelled the pungent powder and was blinded by the beam of light, Yamamoto Kazuki knew something was wrong.
He subconsciously wanted to rush out of the city gate.
He moved quickly, but there were others who were faster.
The moment when the seven members of the Lei family were stung by the chili powder and pepper and bent over and coughed repeatedly.
Sniper Wang Xikui and his team, who had been waiting for a long time, took action.
Bang, bang, bang…
Six gunshots!
Yamamoto Ikki was shot twice and fell directly to the ground with tears in his eyes.
It's like confessing how many evil things I have done in my life.
Less than 2 seconds after the gunshots rang out, the soldiers from the 2nd Battalion rushed forward.
I pulled the Lei family aside, and fortunately, except for old man Lei who fell to the ground and got hurt.
Everyone else was fine.
They were all very frightened that night. Even when they returned home, some of them were still trembling.
But at this time, no one cared about them, and being alive was good enough. What else do you want!
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion stepped on the chest and backs of the three Japanese soldiers and pointed their guns at them.
"The commander is dead!"
"This one is dead too!"
"Commander, this devil is still alive! He is still alive!"
Chu Yunfei heard it and immediately shouted, "Hurry up and carry him out. Remember to tie him up!"
Yamamoto Ikki was like a pig, with his hands tied with ropes and carried out on a carrying pole.
Chu Yunfei was shocked to see that the Japanese soldier being carried out was none other than Yamamoto Ikki.
This guy is so lucky.
Didn’t you kill him just now?
One bullet grazed his shoulder. Another bullet hit his shoulder.
His arm was already in pain, and now he was being lifted up like this. Yamamoto Ikki was in so much pain that his expression was twisted into a knot.
You don’t know whether you have a good life or a bad life.
Since you can't die like this, just live a few more days. I still want to get some information from you!
I hope you can be strong!
Chu Yunfei shouted, "This man is a high-ranking Japanese official. He is very useful. Come, send him to the infirmary for emergency treatment. Remember that this man is extremely dangerous and must be kept under close watch!"
"yes!"
On the surface, all the invading Japanese were wiped out, but no one is sure whether there were any that escaped.
The 2nd Battalion continued to guard the city gate and sent out a company to search the entire city to ensure that all hidden dangers were eliminated.
It was a little after five in the morning, in July, and the sun had already emerged from the horizon.
The dawn light falls on Wuzhai Town.
The city finally calmed down after the sound of gunfire rang out throughout the night.
After the people of Wuzhai Town had been worried and frightened for a whole night.
Early in the morning, they opened a little of the wooden door panel, stuck their heads out, and took a cautious look.
The streets were filled with people, with a soldier every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
Zhang Laosan, who was selling steamed bun noodle soup at the street entrance, put a 50-cent French currency into the hand of the sentry standing not far from the door and asked, "Sir, what happened last night? What happened?"
These vendors don't have much money in their pockets. They have to work every day to earn a living. Zhang Laosan doesn't want to have no business today.
Quickly putting the money into his pocket, the soldier whispered, "Last night a group of devils broke into the city and tried to assassinate my commander. But it's okay, all the devils are dead! The martial law is just to see if there are any fish that slip through the net!"
Hearing that the devil dared to assassinate Chu Yunfei, Zhang Laosan was shocked and asked anxiously. "What about Captain Chu?"
"My captain is fine. These devils want to kill him. They are just dreaming!"
Zhang Laosan said repeatedly. "It's good that Captain Chu is okay. It's good that he is okay!"
The 358th Regiment had good military discipline, and even if there were officers causing trouble occasionally, Commander Chu would not show partiality, and would punish those who deserved punishment and beat those who deserved beating.
With him in charge, the officials and police in the town dared not do anything excessive.
As long as officials don't exploit the people, the people can still live.
Hearing that Captain Chu was fine, he walked back home with peace of mind and comforted the elderly and children at home.
When Chu Yunfei returned to the regiment headquarters, Fang Ligong had already led the staff command to count the casualties of the battle.
"Commander, the ones who attacked last night should be the Yamamoto special forces you mentioned. It was a small team. Our army killed 43 devils and captured 2 people, but they were both seriously injured and I don't know if they can survive tonight. Our army seized 17 submachine guns and 3 grenades..."
Chu Yunfei said with an unpleasant expression: "Let's get to the point. What are the casualties of our army?"
Fang Ligong saw that Chu Yunfei was about to erupt like a volcano. He sighed and said, "159 of our soldiers were killed and 61 were seriously injured. 64 civilians were unfortunately killed and 21 were seriously injured. 17 buildings collapsed..."
Some of the soldiers who died or were seriously injured were accidentally injured by their own brothers , but it was not allowed to be mentioned at this time, and all of them were blamed on the devils.
Before Fang Ligong could finish his words, Chu Yunfei was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.
"Asshole! This isn't fucking over!"
Fang Ligong hurriedly said to comfort him. "Calm down, Commander!"
Chu Yunfei pointed at the door and shouted. "Go. Remove Cheng Yuqing from his post! What a bullshit main battalion! Where is his usual ability? He boasted that his second battalion was very capable, but now? The enemy has even reached his doorstep. Is this his ability? Such a battalion commander is only fit to feed the sex. Go, remove him from my post. Let him go and feed the horses, he is only fit to be a groom!"
Hearing that the regiment commander was going to remove Cheng Yuqing from his post, Fang Ligong said with a stiff face: "Commander, can you reconsider this matter? Yes. Captain Cheng does have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. But considering his merits in the past, give him a chance!"
Chu Yunfei slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Give him a chance? Then who will give those dead brothers and those civilians who died in vain a chance? This matter must be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to govern the army!"
When Fang Ligong saw Chu Yunfei's furious look, he knew that Cheng Yuqing was going to fail this time.
But he couldn't blame anyone else.
This matter indeed has a very bad impact.
Even their own territory was able to be invaded by the Japanese, causing heavy casualties.
This dealt a severe blow to morale and also seriously affected people's views on the 358th Regiment.
If you can’t even protect your own family, how can you protect the people?
Are the people willing to believe in your 358th Regiment?
Not to mention that the observation group sent by the Central Army is in the town. How will the Central Army view this matter, and how will Chairman Chiang view it!
The team leader needs to give an explanation to all parties on this matter.
All I can say is that Cheng Yuqing ran into trouble!
Fang Ligong knew that Cheng Yuqing could not be saved, so he asked, "Then who are you going to let be the commander of the Second Battalion? We can't let this battalion collapse like this."
