Chapter 100: Picking Up the Dagger (Part 2)

  This close-quarters battle lasted less than a minute, and Dong Li Mao completed another breakthrough since his arrival in the parallel world, using a rifle to fight against the Japanese devils for the first time.

  While Dong Li Mao and the little devil were fighting, Hu San pulled Knife Lan Xiang's hand, under the impact of several snipers, they broke through to the woods behind the village.

  Dong Li Mao picked up the submachine gun and ran to Liu Xingyu's side, saying: "Give me the magazine on your body, follow them, and run towards the forest!"

  Liu Xingyu handed over the only two remaining clips on his body to Dong Limao, replaced the clip in the pistol, pulled up the bolt, stood up, and several little devils came out from the side house, he raised his hand and shot down the front one.

  Dong Li Mao used a submachine gun to stop the little devils from surrounding this side, loudly telling Liu Xingyu: "If you don't leave! I'll shoot you dead with one bullet!"

  Liu Xingyu gritted his teeth and finally retreated, chasing after Hu San and the others from behind.

  Dong Li Mao was clear in his mind that he and Wang Jia Gui's four men had been surrounded by the little devils. Although he could also follow Liu Xing Yu to break through, he couldn't abandon Wang Jia Gui and the other three brothers.

  There were more devils on the side of the package than he had killed just now.

  Dong Li Mao took a glance in the direction Liu Xing Yu was running, saw that he had already broken out of the devils' encirclement, so he stood up from behind the wall, patted his body, and found only one hand grenade. He stuck to the wall, ignoring the devils who were sneaking up on him from the side, and instead moved towards Wang Jia Gui's position, throwing the last hand grenade at the machine gun closest to him. After a loud explosion, the machine gun fell silent, and Dong Li Mao took advantage of the opportunity to rush out from behind the house wall.

  "The old master wants to kill all of you beasts!" Dong Li Mao roared, his submachine gun rattling along with him like a madman, actually advancing forward in the direction of the devils' incoming bullets, with an air of wanting to fight the devils to the death.

  Wang Jiagui saw Dong Limao rush towards the devils, fearing that he might make a mistake, and also stood up from the wall root on the opposite side, closely following behind Dong Limao to shoot. After firing all the bullets in the gun chamber, he didn't crouch down either. With his left hand holding the sniper rifle, this gun was his lifeblood, even if he lost his life, he wouldn't drop this gun. His right hand drew out the pistol from his waist and fired.

  The three warriors closely followed the royal family, each throwing a hand grenade at the hiding place of the little devils in front of them, blasting the little devils who dared not show their heads to aim and shoot.

  Dong Li Mao finished firing a clip and dodged to the corner of a nearby house, loudly shouting at Wang Jia Gui and others: "All come over here!"

  Wang Jia Gui and three warriors rushed to Dong Li Mao's side.

  "We're surrounded by devils, try to save ammo for the most critical moment." Dong Li Mao said as he replaced his last clip.

  Wang Jiagui had no bullets left, so he pulled out the bayonet hanging from his waist and clicked it onto his sniper rifle, saying: "Let's fight the devils to the end!"

  The other three warriors also put their bayonets on, each with a few more bullets. One of the soldiers had two hand grenades on his body and handed one to Wang Jiaogui and the other to Dong Li Mao, saying: "Company commander, platoon leader, you two rush out, we three will cover you!"

  Dong Li Mao was deeply moved, patted the soldier's leg and said: "Good brother, I won't leave you to those little devils, trust me, we'll find a way to break out!" He was trying to boost the soldier's morale, but in fact he was also worried, although he knew he wouldn't die himself, he couldn't guarantee that the people around him wouldn't.

  Three warriors, who were all in their early twenties, listened to Dong Li Mao's words and seemed to believe the captain's words very much, nodding together.

  Gao Hao was in the woods, with the help of the firelight, saw Dong Li Mao and others running towards the woods. Just as they were about to leave the village, they encountered the enemy, so he loudly told a dozen soldiers: "The company commander is in danger, follow me!" He led a squad of brothers, rushing out of the woods and bushes like a fierce tiger down the mountain.

  Gu Hao and his men had just run near the village when they met Hu San and his men. Gu Hao asked Hu San, "Where is Lian Zhang?"

  Hu San pointed to the rear where the fighting was still going on and said, "The devils are blocking our way from behind. Officer Guo, you quickly lead some men to rescue Captain Lian and the others!"

  Liu Xingyu also ran up, panting, and pushed his glasses with one hand, pointing to the direction where gunshots were still being fired: "The little devils have blocked the retreat route of Lian Zhang and the others from the side!"

  Gao Hao shouted to the sniper squad brothers who had run out: "You go into the woods, find a high point, and use your guns to cover the company commander!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand forward: "Follow me up!"

  Just after Dong Li Mao and the devils exchanged fire, Zhao Yong, who was in charge of guarding the riverbank, was anxious and looked at his watch. Half an hour had passed, but he still didn't see Dong Li Mao and the others return. He then said to Zhang Da Li: "Heavy machine gun, you and the machine gun squad cover us here, I'll lead a team to rush into the village to find Commander Lian!"

  "Commander's orders, we must hold our ground here! If this place is lost, none of us can return! We cannot charge!" Zhang Dali was the most obedient to Dong Li Mao's commands. Although he appeared to be loud and boisterous on the surface, he always remained exceptionally calm at critical moments.

  "But if it's related to him..." Zhao Yong said anxiously.

  Before Zhao Yong finished speaking, Zhang Dalie replied: "The company commander won't die!"

  Zhao Yong was taken aback and asked: "You also think Lian Chang won't die?"

  "Company Commander Lian says he won't die! He definitely won't die!" Zhang Dalie replied firmly.

  "Alright, let's wait for another ten minutes. If Lao Zhang and the others still haven't returned, we'll charge into the village together!" Zhao Yong said.

  Fortunately, Zhao Yong did not hear Dong Li Mao's order to retreat half an hour ago, otherwise, they would have had no way to return from the riverbank.

  The little devils are step by step approaching the location where Dong Li Mao and others are hiding, almost all the escape routes around them have been blocked by the devils.

  Dong Li Mao shot and killed the devil who popped out from the right alley corner with one bullet, then asked Wang Jia Gui: "Second Brother, I know you saved my life in the past. You might be resenting me for always being at odds with you, aren't you?"

  Wang Jiagui watched the entrance of the alley on the left and smiled: "What kind of person am I, Wang Jiagui? You know best, Zhang Chang."

  "Is there still some cigarettes?" Dong Li Mao suddenly had a strong urge to smoke one at this moment.

  Wang Jiagui took out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Dong Li Mao, lit a match for him, and also lit one for himself.

  Dong Li Mao leaned against the wall, took a deep breath and said: "Actually, I don't understand you at all, but every time there's a task, I always put you in the most important position. Do you know why?"

  Wang Jia Gui took a fierce drag on his cigarette, handed it to another brother and asked after exhaling the smoke: "Why?"

  "Because I trust you." Dong Li Mao said, taking another drag on his cigarette.

  "Commander Lian, if I were to die for the country like Old Zhu, please give this to my mother." Wang Jia Gui took out a small box from his pocket.

  "What is this?" Dong Li Mao took a glance and didn't reach out to take it.

  "It was bought by me when I was resting in the 66th Army, and my old mother especially likes Burmese jade bangles." Wang Jiagui replied.

  "You can hand it over to your mother yourself later." Dong Li Mao said, throwing away the cigarette and standing up. "It's time, Gu Hao and the others should have arrived too!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of gunfire was heard from the direction of the forest.

  "Are you all ready?" asked Dong Li Mao.

  Wang Jiagui and three warriors replied in unison: "Ready!"

  "Charge!" Dong Li Mao led the way, rushing towards the alley where the dense gunfire was coming from.

  Just ran a few steps, three devils appeared in front of him, Dong Li Mao's submachine gun swept over, knocking down the three little devils. Then several little devils rushed over from the side, screaming, and Dong Li Mao threw the hand grenade given by the soldier. After the explosion, he stepped over the bodies of the three little devils who had been shot, picked up a Japanese Type 38 rifle, and just then another little devil who hadn't been killed by the grenade ran towards him, dazed and confused. Dong Li Mao used the bayonet on his right hand to stab the little devil's left rib, while his left hand held the submachine gun, firing at another little devil rushing from the other side.

  At this time, more than a dozen devils rushed up from the opposite side. Wang Jia Gui threw out the last hand grenade in his hand and charged forward, using the bayonet on his sniper rifle to stab and kill a small devil. Because it was an alleyway, the little devils couldn't rush forward together either, giving Wang Jia Gui the opportunity to fight one by one. After consecutively killing two with his bayonet, it bent, so he used the gun butt to smash.

  Three warriors also rushed forward, using the bayonets on their rifles to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the devils. Each of them had a unique skill, and they were seen stabbing left and right, instantly killing several devils.

  Several snipers in the forest climbed up tall trees and used scopes to search for targets that could be shot, as long as they posed a threat to Dong Li Mao and his men, they were cleared without hesitation, which helped them a lot.
