Chapter 101: Quenching Thirst with Japanese Pirate Blood

  Wang Jiagui and three warriors fought off several devils, only to have more burst out of a small alleyway to their front right.

  Dong Li Mao's submachine gun had fired its last clip, and he casually discarded it. A gun without bullets was nothing more than a well-crafted iron club, not as good as the 38 rifle he had picked up from the little devil he had shot earlier. He held the rifle in both hands, leaning against the wall corner, firing at the devils running towards him from the alley, clearing the way for Wang Jia Gui and the others. However, the bullets in the rifle were limited too, and after four shots, they were all gone. He could only pull out his pistol.

  The position where Dong Li Mao was located was extremely dangerous, spanning a narrow alley. In front of the small alley were Wang Jia Gui and three soldiers. However, crossing this four or five-meter-wide alley was not an easy task, as devils rushed over from both ends of the alley. Behind him was another long, narrow alley between two houses, where little devils shot at his back. If it weren't for the wall blocking the devils' line of sight, Dong Li Mao might have been in grave danger this time. But he didn't worry about himself; he always believed that he wouldn't die, at least not here.

  Dong Li thought: Perhaps Grandpa Tai shouldn't have died here that year. Apart from being slightly luckier, the key was that he was extremely brave and could be said to be fearless. From his own personal experience, he deeply felt how Grandpa Tai had fought desperately against the Japanese devils back then.

  Just as Dong Li Mao's pistol bullets were about to run out, Wang Jia Gui and three soldiers, along with Gou Hao who had come to reinforce them, attacked the devils from both front and back, opening up a path for escape. Dong Li Mao then shot two consecutive shots at the devils running towards him from the left alleyway, knocking down two of them. He was about to jump over the alleyway in front of him to join forces with Gou Hao when he was blocked by bullets coming from the right alleyway. He had no choice but to lean his back against the wall again.

  At this time, Dong Li Mao's body had no bullets left.

  Gu Hao arrived with over a dozen men, just in time. The submachine guns in their hands were like over a dozen tongues of fire, devouring the devils' lives. They quickly tore open a gap, and Gu Hao was at the forefront, shouting loudly: "Company Commander... Second Lieutenant..." However, his voice was drowned out by the gunfire, and Dong Li Mao and the others didn't hear him. Fortunately, Gu Hao had taken the right path and ran to the back of the devils who were blocking Wang Jia Gui's escape route. He used his submachine gun to take down several devils, saw Wang Jia Gui and three soldiers, but didn't see Dong Li Mao. So he shouted again: "Company Commander..."

  "I'm still alive here!" Dong Li Mao heard Gou Hao's shout this time and responded loudly.

  As soon as the voice fell, a devil rushed out from the left alley, saw Dong Li Mao, raised his gun and aimed at him, pulling the trigger of the rifle. It was really unexpected that the devil's rifle jammed at the critical moment. When the little devil pulled the bolt to eject the jammed bullet, Dong Li Mao had already pulled out a military knife from his right boot, which was the only lethal weapon he could use on his body.

  That little devil's bullet had just pushed the gun bolt up, and Dong Li Mao's men had also flashed to his side. As the military knife in his hand pierced the little devil's chest, Dong Li Mao saw that the little devil's eyes seemed to be unable to believe it was true, staring at him in horror.

  Dong Li Mao didn't care whether he believed it or not. As he pulled the military knife out of the little devil's chest, he also picked up the rifle in the little devil's hand. Just then, two more devils came rushing forward, screaming. Dong Li Mao decisively opened fire and shot the one in front dead. Then, he took a step forward and stabbed the bayonet on his rifle into the chest of the other little devil. With a swift motion, he ripped open the devil's chest, and a stream of hot blood gushed out from the devil's thoracic cavity, splashing onto Dong Li Mao's head, face, and body. As he killed, he shouted "Kill!" but before he could even close his mouth, a stream of hot blood spurted into his mouth, bringing with it a salty, fishy taste. The bloody water was swallowed down into his belly, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit queasy. Instead, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

  But the hot blood sprayed on Dong Li Mao's head and face by the little devil also blinded his eyes, blocking his line of sight, making it difficult for him to open his eyes. He dropped his rifle and used both hands to wipe the blood off his face, but the blood from the top of his head continued to flow down onto his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes for a while. In his ears, he heard the sound of many people's footsteps.

  Dong Li Mao's heart skipped a beat as he realized that the little devils had surrounded him. He crouched down and reached out with his hand to feel for the gun on the ground.

  The little devil running in front saw Dong Limao squatting on the ground, his hands feeling around, and raised his gun to aim at Dong Limao.

  Gu Hao heard Dong Li Mao's answer and rushed forward, just in time to see a devil running up from behind Dong Li Mao. Before the devil at the front could fire his gun, Gu Hao took the lead with his submachine gun and knocked him down. Then he threw a hand grenade over and stretched out his left hand to pull Dong Li Mao's arm, thinking he was injured.

  Dong Li Mao thought it was a little devil, and when Gou Hao's hand touched his arm, he flipped his wrist and used the Qin Na technique to reverse and twist Gou Hao's arm. Although his eyes couldn't see anything, he judged that the person's neck was there, stood up, and was about to strangle Gou Hao's neck with his hands when Gou Hao shouted: "Lian Zhang, it's me..."

  Dong Li Mao let go as soon as he heard it was Gou Hao's voice, and Gou Hao fired another burst at the charging devils and threw a hand grenade.

  "I can't see the road! I can't see anything......" Dong Li Mao was like a madman, standing there spinning around and shouting.

  Gao Hao only then noticed that Dong Li Mao was covered in blood from head to toe, so he grabbed Dong's arm with his left hand and fired back with his right. At this time, two soldiers rushed forward and killed the devils just in time. Gao Hao then squatted down, put Dong on his back, and shouted: "Withdraw quickly!"

  Two warriors cut off the rear, shooting at the little devils who were chasing them while retreating backwards, and walked out of the alley. There were several dozen warriors led by Gou Hao, blocking the entrance of the alley, and killing all the little devils in the narrow alley.

  The Japanese devils may not have expected the rescuers to arrive so quickly, and after the encirclement was torn open, they also tried to surround them again. However, the soldiers of the special agent company were all brave warriors who could fight against ten enemies at once, and with the powerful firepower of their American-made submachine guns, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties and were unable to block the gap for a while, so they could only watch as Dong Li Mao and others fought their way out.

  There were dozens of devils, who seemed to be relentless, chasing after Dong Li Mao and his men.

  In the woods, those snipers almost never missed a shot, one bullet for each, shooting down the devils running in front and making the ones behind them slow down their pursuit of Dong Li Mao and others.

  Zhao Yong and Zhang Dali led the men to hold on for another ten minutes, hearing gunfire coming from the woods, knowing that Dong Li Mao and others had withdrawn from the village.

  Gou Hao was carrying Dong Li Mao and running desperately forward. When Diao Lan Xiang saw Dong Li Mao on Gou Hao's back, she thought he had been seriously injured and rushed up to ask: "What's wrong with Brother Dong? Is the injury severe?"

  "I'm fine, just got my eyes blinded by the little devil's blood." Dong Li Mao climbed onto Gou Hao's back and heard Qie Lan Xiang's anxious voice, laughing and responding: "Gou Hao's back is really comfortable, if I could keep running like this, I'm afraid I'd fall asleep."

  "It's about time! Stop joking!" Dao Lanxiang knew Dong Li Mao was fine, so she smiled and said with a hint of annoyance, then called out to Hu San: "Little Huzi, bring some water over here!"

  Gu Hao put down Dong Li Mao and said with a gasp: "If the knife guard is willing, I'd be happy to run all the way with Lian Zhang on my back like this."

  Dalan Xiang took over the water bottle handed by Hu San, let Dong Li Mao lie down, and poured water on his face.

  Once the hot blood had cooled, it formed scabs that almost covered Dong Li Mao's eyes, but under the flushing of clear water, Dong Li Mao quickly washed away the blood scabs on his face, sat up and shook his head, exhaled a breath, and laughed loudly saying: "In ancient times there were generals who thirstily drank Xiongnu blood, I didn't expect that I would also end up drinking Japanese pirate blood here!"

  The people around him heard Dong Li Mao laughing loudly at this time, saying that they had drunk the blood of the little devils, and each of them was a brave man who had killed countless devils, with a surge of heroic spirit rising in their chests.

  That's right, every single one of them has drunk the blood of the Japanese pirates!

  Dong Li Mao returned to the riverbank where Zhao Yong and his men were holding out, and gave a decisive order: "Zhang Da Li and one machine gun squad will provide cover, while the rest of you brothers carry the wounded on your backs and retreat downstream along the riverbank at a run!"

  This battle injured several warriors but no one was sacrificed.

  "Machine guns, you only need to hold on for two minutes. After two minutes, withdraw from the battle resolutely!" Dong Li Mao reminded Zhang Da Li before leaving, worried that this little rascal would get excited and forget to retreat.

  "Yes! Hold on for two minutes and then retreat!" Zhang Dalie replied loudly.

  Zhang Dalai led a machine gun squad and held on for another two minutes before withdrawing swiftly.

  The Japanese devils may have been frightened by the beating or suffered heavy losses and did not pursue downstream.
