The anti-Japanese general is invincible

  The one who cut off the head of this devil is Gou Hao. He was hiding in a position diagonally opposite to Zhao Yong's.

  Gao Hao burst out of the bushes and saw Zhao Yong being lifted up by a large man wearing shorts, who then flung him away. Gao quickly ran two steps forward and rushed to the back of the large man just as he was picking up the pistol that had fallen from Zhao's hand. With one swift slash, Gao cut off the large man's right hand holding the gun. Before the large man could fully turn his body around, Gao slashed again, cutting off his head. The head fell to the ground, but the body remained standing upright, with a fountain of fresh blood spraying from the neck like a red geyser.

  Zhao Yong got up from the ground, staring at Gou Hao's bloody chopping knife in his hand, and instead of saying thank you, he muttered: "I didn't expect this kind of chopping knife to be quite good, it works well!"

  "Of course, I and Lian Zhang once used this machete to fight against a pack of wolves. That time was even more exhilarating than this!" Gu Hao said with pride, holding up the machete, looking at the blood-stained blade with several rolled-up mouths, and scolding the headless corpse lying on the ground: "Damn it, your bones are really hard, they've even curled up the mouth of my machete!", his tone seemed to imply that a person's life was not as important as his machete.

  Dong Li Mao's loud voice, like a roar, giving orders to Zhang Da Li, reached the ears of the two men. Zhao Yong and Gou Hao exchanged a glance, and both thought to themselves: This is not good! They rushed together towards Dong Li Mao's location.

  At this time, the smoke had basically dispersed, and Zhao Yong and Gou Hao also saw the scene of people and horses crowded together at the entrance of the valley.

  Dong Li Mao saw Zhao Yong and Gou Hao rush forward, he was just looking for the two of them. Because he saw that there were Japanese soldiers sneaking into the mountains on both sides, he gave new combat orders to Zhao Yong and Gou Hao: "Deputy Commander Zhao, you lead the main attack team's brothers, bring your weapons, occupy the high ground on the right side, don't let the little devils get ahead! Gou Hao, you take the rest of the people, occupy the high ground on the left side! Act quickly!"

  The two men answered in unison: "Yes!" and turned around to shout orders at their own warriors.

  The devils who were not shot or bombed to death on the road had basically been beheaded by the soldiers of the special operations team, and only those struggling mules were panting heavily, making their last dying struggles.

  Dong Li Mao held the machine gun in both hands and ran towards the Japanese army at the entrance of the mountain valley, about 100-200 meters away. He fired while running, which was not an easy task for ordinary people. Those who had experience with guns knew that even a light handgun would cause one's hand to shake due to recoil, let alone a machine gun. Although Dong Li Mao held a lightweight machine gun, its recoil was still much stronger than a submachine gun. For someone without strong arms, it would be difficult to hold the gun steady, not to mention firing while running. However, Dong Li Mao handled the machine gun with ease, as if he were holding a submachine gun. In one burst of fire, he shot down four mules and three Japanese soldiers. The rest of the enemy troops scrambled to take cover on both sides, some even retreating backwards.

  Hu San closely followed behind Dong Li Mao, he used the submachine gun that he hadn't had time to fire earlier to sweep forward in a burst.

  "Little Huzi! Don't follow me, go to Lanxiang and Zeng Junyi's side! Protect Lanxiang and Doctor Zeng!" Dong Limao loudly commanded Hu San during the shooting interval.

  "Let me stay with you..." Hu San wanted to stay by Dong Li Mao's side to protect him.

  "I won't die! Don't worry about me! Go quickly..." Dong Li Mao said, and then shot another arrow forward. At this time, Zhang Da Li led the machine gun squad to follow up, and Hu San ran towards the position where Qie Lan Xiang was hiding.

  Matsushita Chōki heard the bugle sound and seemed to be in disbelief that there was still an ambush here, stunned for a moment. When the gunfire sounded, bullets shot out from both sides of the road, he saw the mules and people on the road fall down like cut wheat. He hastily climbed down from the boulder, shouting at his subordinates: "There's an ambush ahead... Prepare for battle... Get me my weapon quickly..."

  No one was following up, some people were already sitting on the ground panting heavily, others were taking water bottles from mules to drink, and a few even pulled out their things from their pants and stood by the side of the road urinating. There was no combat preparation at all, relaxed to the point of being completely casual like a horse herder, not looking like an elite mobile strike force that had undergone rigorous training.

  When the bugle and gunfire almost simultaneously sounded, these tired and lazy people were stunned, one by one dazed as if they didn't know what to do. Until Matsushita Kōhei's angry roar reached their ears, they began to make a commotion, shouting at each other, starting to take weapons from the pack horses. Many of those on the narrower road behind couldn't move forward. The heavily loaded pack horses, hearing the loud bugle and gunfire, were startled and began searching for an escape route. Some horses rushed forward, others retreated backward, squeezing people in between to the roadside. Several horses kicked with their hind legs at people behind them; one horse's hoof kicked a small guy in the chest, causing his breastbone to immediately collapse into a hoof-shaped depression. He fell to the side of the road and died from lack of air.

  The sound of mules, the shouting of men, the bugle calls, the rifles and machine guns, all blended together to form a tragic and intense elegy.

  The guy on the well is still standing on the giant stone, shouting down at a big fellow: "Quickly bring out the mortar and blast forward for me!"

  Da Han hastily took the mortar off the mule's back, and was shot in the head by Wang Jia Gui. Another man who had grabbed a machine gun climbed up a boulder, but was also shot dead by Wang Jia Gui. Just then, Jing Shang yelled down at the others: "There's a sniper... take cover..." Before he could finish speaking, a bullet pierced his right chest with a loud thud, sending his body flying backward, and he fell onto the boulder, unconscious or possibly dead.

  However, Inoue's shout as he fell reminded the people in a panic on the road below.

  Matsushita Chōki saw Inoue being shot down, he quickly hid behind a mule and shouted to the people in the back: "Pay attention to cover! There is a sniper! Get your weapons out! Counterattack..."

  As long as they picked up their weapons and poked their heads out, almost all of them were shot dead by the snipers hiding behind the big trees on both sides. However, some people managed to take cover behind the woods and rocks, pick up their weapons, and start running in both directions. After all, this was an elite unit with very strong individual combat capabilities, and even without commanders, they could spontaneously organize attacks or defenses.

  Matsushita Chōki hid behind a brown mule, relying on the tall mule and the pack on its back to shield him from view, narrowly avoiding being spotted by Wang Jia Gui's sniper team. The mule he was hiding behind had several crates of ammunition strapped to its back, but no firearms. In his haste, he grabbed an assault rifle from someone nearby, cocked it, and prepared to return fire, but before he could even take aim, the mule in front of him suddenly buckled at the knees and fell over onto its side. Bullets whizzed past his ears, forcing him to quickly follow the fallen mule to the ground, getting splattered with blood from the mule's body.

  Dong Li Mao ran out of a burst of gunfire, which happened to kill the mule that was blocking Song Xiaolong's path. The soldier who had been robbed of his gun by Song Xiaolong couldn't dodge the incoming machine gun bullets and got several more holes in his body, his body shaking like he was dancing for a moment before falling onto Song Xiaolong's body, just in time to block a bullet coming from Wang Jia Gui, otherwise Song Xiaolong might have also had his head blown off.

  After the mule in front of Matsushita Chōki fell to the ground, Wang Jia Gui saw him through his scope. Wang thought he was just an ordinary soldier since he had a gun in his hand and wanted to shoot Matsushita's head off with one bullet. However, the shot hit the body of the soldier who was leaning towards Matsushita.

  Wang Jiagui was rarely careless, but this time he made a mistake, which left him very dissatisfied. He cursed and again aimed his scope at Matsushita Nagayoshi's head, just as he was about to pull the trigger, a mule suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his shot. Wang Jiagui was furious and cursed again: "Damn it! I'll kill you!" It seemed that Matsushita Nagayoshi had called out for help, and Wang Jiagui's scope remained fixed on the position where he was hiding, but he couldn't find an opportunity to shoot. Because Wang Jiagui saw that several soldiers had already run up and were shielding Matsushita Nagayoshi. A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Jiagui's mouth as he muttered: "So you're a big fish! Luckily I didn't blow your damn head off with my first shot, or Commander Chang would have blamed me for not following orders. Okay, I'll spare your life for now!" As soon as Wang Jiagui finished speaking, he shot and killed the soldier shielding Matsushita Nagayoshi, then shot another soldier in the neck. Just as he was about to shoot a third one, even more soldiers rushed up and shielded Matsushita Nagayoshi, slowly retreating backwards. Wang Jiagui finally realized that this guy with many people protecting him was no ordinary person: "You think you can escape? It's not that easy!" Wang Jiagui shot one soldier after another, like he was practicing shooting at live targets, clearing away the people surrounding Matsushita Nagayoshi. When Matsushita Nagayoshi was about to be shielded by the remaining soldiers and retreat back into the valley, Wang Jiagui finally found his chance. He clearly saw Matsushita Nagayoshi's feet because the soldiers shielding him were all bare-legged, while Matsushita Nagayoshi wore long pants and a pair of high-top black leather boots. Wang Jiagui was excited as if he had discovered treasure, holding his breath and aiming at Matsushita Nagayoshi's right knee. He knew that this position was a person's weak point, and if he broke the knee, the person would be basically useless, even if they survived, they would be crippled. Wang Jiagui carefully aimed his scope at Matsushita Nagayoshi's right leg and pulled the trigger.

  Matsushita Nagaki is no ordinary person, he is the future son-in-law of the imperial family. The ronin and shishi under him are extremely loyal to the emperor. Seeing the future son-in-law of the imperial family in danger, these shishi and ronin did not have the opportunity to serve the emperor in person, but they had the opportunity to serve the future daughter-in-law of the imperial family. They would not let Matsushita Nagaki die here easily. Therefore, many people disregarded their own lives and came to protect Matsushita Nagaki, planning to pull him back to hide at the corner of the mountain valley entrance. However, this group of people did not think that this would expose the importance of Matsushita Nagaki in this unit, giving Wang Jia Gui a clear answer. Just as they were about to escort Matsushita Nagaki into hiding at the corner of the mountain valley entrance, he suddenly let out a loud cry, his right leg knee was shot and nearly half of it was cut off, with only a piece of skin connecting it to his lower limb. The people around him immediately lifted him up and quickly hid into the corner of the mountain valley entrance.

  Just as Matsushita Chōki's right knee was blown off by Wang Jia Gui, the dispersed Japanese troops in the mountain forest began to counterattack sporadically, pinning down Dong Li Mao and Zhang Da Li, forcing Dong Li Mao, who was charging towards the entrance of the valley, to order his machine gunners to temporarily take cover in the bushes, waiting for Zhao Yong and Gou Hao to lead their troops to clear out the enemy on both sides.

  This delay gave Matsushita Nagayoshi and his men a chance to catch their breath.
