Chapter 347 Bullets (1/2)

Chapter 347 Bullet

Lu Peng observed and saw that the surroundings were all overgrown with weeds. He couldn't help but frowned. Considering that the Japanese army would soon find him, he simply hid in the ruins of a nearby hut and waited patiently.

As expected, not long after, several searchlights swept over, illuminating the surrounding area.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the searchlight went out, and a bullet flew over, hitting the soldier at the end of the Japanese army team. Blood splattered five steps and he fell to the ground.

The Japanese army team instantly exploded, and they all took out their bayonets and roared.

"Baga!" A roar sounded in the middle of the team, and then a man came out with a gun. He looked around vigilantly, roughly guessed that there was an enemy hiding nearby, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Da da da!" There was a lot of gunfire in the Japanese army team, and people kept falling down. Many people were hit by stray bullets and screamed and wailed.

Lu Peng was secretly delighted, and jumped out in the chaos. He sneered and raised his gun to fire two shots.

"Bang! Bang!" After two explosions, the bullets hit the target accurately.

"Puff!"

Blood spurted out, and the person who was shot covered his chest and fell to the ground in disbelief.

"Baga Yalu!"

The remaining Japanese soldiers were furious, their eyes widened with anger, staring at Lu Peng, and raised their guns to shoot.

Lu Peng did not dodge, but ran straight up to the bullets, knocked one person down with a stick, and then shot another Japanese soldier.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were scared to death. Even though they knew they would die, they still fought hard to fight back, trying to consume Lu Peng's physical strength and buy time to retreat. Unexpectedly, Lu Peng had seen through their ideas long ago, dodged the bullets flexibly, aimed at the shoulder of a Japanese soldier, and pulled the trigger mercilessly, killing him.

After a short confrontation, the Japanese soldiers lost their fighting spirit and threw down their guns and fled.

"Chase!" Lu Peng reminded, and led his team to chase and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Not long after Xu Hongru walked, he saw Lu Peng and his team chasing him. For some reason, he stood still and watched Lu Peng and his team leave.

Not long after, the Japanese army emerged from the depths of the woods in a panic. The leading sergeant looked at Xu Hongru with annoyance and asked, "Xu Sang, why didn't you let us kill him just now?"

"What do you know!" Xu Hongru scolded with a stern face, and then put on a smiling face and said flatteringly, "Brother Lu is the noble man I invited to save people. If you hurt him, what can I do to report to the commander?"

"Humph, this is really unreasonable. We are acting on orders. Even if we want to punish him, it won't be his turn as a prisoner." The sergeant muttered unconvinced, and his tone was slightly softened.

"Of course I know this, but this time it was because I took the initiative that Brother Lu was implicated. I invited him back to help, so you must not neglect him, otherwise I will hold you accountable." Xu Hongru said righteously.

"Of course, don't worry, Xu Sang, I promise to arrange for him properly." The sergeant nodded, and then commanded the troops to gather the remaining Japanese troops and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Xu Hongru breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and called Yan Tieshan.

The call was quickly connected. Yan Tieshan asked about the situation urgently. Xu Hongru briefly introduced it and said, "Lu Peng did not lie to me. The Japanese did come to Chu County, but they have left. According to my judgment, the mission of this group of Japanese troops should be to escort a batch of strategic materials back to Chu County."

"What!?" Yan Tieshan was shocked and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xu, do you have any basis for what you said?"

Xu Hongru did not keep him in suspense and continued, "I dare not speculate on this, but the quality of this group of Japanese troops is very high. If it is just ordinary Japanese troops, I am afraid it is not enough to complete the escort mission."

"That makes sense. Let's do this. You are on standby in Chu County. Once this matter is true, contact me immediately. No matter what, this batch of materials must be prevented from being transported into Chu County!" Yan Tieshan said decisively, with a firm tone, and he was obviously angry.

"I will, but you can't sit and wait for death. You have to find a way to delay the Japanese army and buy me time. As long as I deal with them, everything will be fine." Xu Hongru said.

"Well, I know what to do." Yan Tieshan replied.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hongru sighed and felt the pressure doubled.

Although Yan Tieshan has promised to do his best to cooperate with Lu Peng's actions, everyone knows that it is not easy to intercept this batch of strategic materials.

More importantly, the National Government has now controlled Nanchang. Once the Japanese troops from Nanjing arrive in Chuxian, no matter how strong Lu Peng is, he can only do it alone.

However, after thinking about it, Xu Hongru was relieved and secretly warned himself not to worry about it. Since he chose to believe in Lu Peng, he should fully cooperate.

After the matter here was settled, Lu Peng did not stay any longer. He led the team to the front and continued to explore the mountain. Soon he encountered a group of patrolling Japanese troops. Without saying a word, he took the initiative and beat the other party to flee.

This time Lu Peng learned his lesson and picked soft persimmons. He left a body almost every ten meters, and did not forget to lay trip mines along the way, killing all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Report!"

"Tell me!"

"The battalion commander and his men are missing. We searched the entire mountaintop, but we didn't find any of them except their remains. We didn't even find a body. I'm worried..."

"Trash, trash, a bunch of losers!" The Japs next to the radio got angry and roared, "Where are their bodies? Have they been found?"

"Found them, we searched them, and they were indeed sacrificed." The Japanese replied, and hung up the phone with a complicated expression.

"Nani?!" The devil next to the radio was completely dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react, and he muttered to himself with a sad look on his face, "Impossible, how could this happen?"

When Lu Peng heard these words, he secretly cursed the Japanese for being cunning. He guessed that the Japanese army would definitely try to destroy all traces. After thinking about it, he shouted towards the mountainside: "Little Tiger, come here!"

"Tuanzuo!" Xiaohu ran over excitedly.

"Go, use the telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese army. If I am not wrong, the Japs will definitely try to destroy the clues. You must be extra careful and don't let the Japs escape." Lu Peng warned, worried. One sentence.

"Hehe, don't worry about this. As long as the little devil dares to show his head, I guarantee that they will not be able to escape!" Xiaohu proudly puffed up his chest and promised confidently.

"Be careful!" Lu Peng warned, lying down patiently in the grass, waiting quietly for the Japanese troops to show up.

Sure enough, the Japanese army lived up to Lu Peng's expectations. In less than five minutes, several black figures suddenly appeared on the ridge and moved silently down the mountain.

Lu Peng frowned, and when he looked carefully, he saw three Japanese soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and steel helmets.

"Baga, what's going on? Why is there no one around here?!" the Japanese soldier muttered, looking around, and finally his eyes fell on where Lu Peng was hiding. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously climbed up to Lu Peng, alert. shouted: "Who are you?!"

"Who are you?" Lu Peng asked coldly, without taking action rashly.

The Japanese soldier was obviously taken aback. He stared at Lu Peng suspiciously, hesitated for a few seconds, and whispered: "It's dangerous here. I advise you to get out of here!"

"Haha!" Lu Peng smiled and said contemptuously: "So, you are here to find me?"

"Yo Xi!" The Japanese soldiers were overjoyed, and immediately reacted and roared: "You are cheating, how dare you get through, you are dead, you are dead..."

"Crack!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Peng smashed the Jaap soldier's head with the butt of his rifle, dragged him to the ground, and at the same time signaled Zhou Weiguo and the others to take cover, and ran away.

The remaining two Japs were frightened. They didn't expect Lu Peng's shooting skills to be so accurate and his reaction speed was so fast. They took out grenades and threw them out without caring about anything else.

"Boom!"

The explosion resounded through the sky, and Lu Peng was so shocked that his eardrums buzzed. He was about to use the smoke to cover his retreat, but found that the Japs had already caught up with him. He quickly changed his strategy, hid behind a rock, aimed at a Japs soldier, and without hesitation captured him. trigger.

"Bang!"

The Japanese soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

Another Japanese soldier reacted quickly and rushed toward Lu Peng with a bayonet in his hand, trying to end Lu Peng's life with the weapon in his hand. Unfortunately, it was a step too late. As soon as he took a step, a bullet flew towards him and hit him between the eyebrows. Falling on his back.

Lu Peng took a deep breath, struck while the iron was hot, picked up a grenade from the ground, pulled the bolt and loaded the grenade, aimed forward and threw it.

"Pfft!"

The grenade drew an arc and accurately fell into the dense forest in front. Then there was a loud noise, the explosion produced a violent flame, and a thick smoke rose instantly.

Because the distance was too close, the shock wave caused by the explosion of the shell directly overturned several Japanese soldiers.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the embarrassment of the Japanese army, Lu Peng couldn't help laughing wildly. At this moment, several people walked out of the woods not far away, holding rifles, and it was Yang Xiuling and her party.

"Captain!"

Everyone cheered and couldn't wait to gather around, talking non-stop.

Lu Peng looked around and found that Wang Huzi and others had suffered heavy casualties, with only a dozen or so people left. He immediately became furious, "What do you do for food?"

Yang Xiuling's face was full of shame and she said bitterly: "Captain, I don't blame them. It was my command error. If I had known that the little devil was so powerful, I would have sent more people."

"You are not cruel enough!" Lu Peng snorted coldly.

"The leader taught you the right lesson, but we didn't gain anything at all. We captured dozens of prisoners!" Wu Yurou added.

"Oh?!" Lu Peng was slightly startled. He turned around and looked over. Sure enough, he saw many people being held together. Judging from their clothing, they should be bandits or puppet soldiers. They looked like they were defeated soldiers who had just surrendered to the Japanese army.

Wang Huzi walked up to Qianhui and reported: "According to the interrogation, these guys were ordered by their superiors to lurk here to ambush us. But they found out that we were the Eighth Route Army, so they turned against us and almost cheated us!"

"Hmph!" Lu Peng snorted coldly and said, "No matter what, they have accomplished a meritorious service. Let's end this matter here. Tell the brothers to rest for a while and start reconnaissance immediately."

"yes!"

Wang Huzi and others were overjoyed and followed the order.

Lu Peng stood there waiting, and suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing behind a big tree not far away. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Tian Xiaoxi.

Seeing Tian Xiaoxi peeking out her head furtively, as if looking for something, Lu Peng was slightly startled, thinking that he had discovered the Japanese army when he met her just now, and it was clear that Tian Xiaoxi must be worried about him, and there were no traces of battle at the scene. Guessing that Tian Xiaoxi might be injured, he waved to Tian Xiaoxi.

"Master!" Tian Xiaoxi was so overjoyed when he saw Lu Peng that he ran away.

"Wait!" Lu Peng shouted, rushed over quickly, stopped Tian Xiaoxi, and said, "I have another task for you to do."

Although Tian Xiaoxi was puzzled, she did not resist and followed Lu Peng back to the camp.

After returning, Lu Peng asked Sun Siyi to treat Tian Xiaoxi's wound, and he took out a cigarette and smoked it.

"Master, where is this?" Tian Xiaoxi asked about the situation while taking off his clothes to check the wound.

Lu Peng briefly introduced the situation and asked, "What's going on? Why don't you join the main force?"

"I see that everyone is very tired and don't want to drag everyone down, so I want to come here alone to see the situation. Besides, you also have to guard against the Japanese, so..." Tian Xiaoxi lowered his head and said a little aggrieved.

"Silly girl, I really can't do anything with you!" Lu Peng sighed. He had known Tian Xiaoxi for so long, but this was the first time he saw her acting like a spoiled child. He softened his heart and comforted her, "Our mission this time is quite special and must be completed as soon as possible. Your body has not recovered yet. If you don't want to participate, I will never force you. You should take good care of your injuries. After you recover, I will personally send you back to the county town."

"Thank you, Master. I'm fine!" Tian Xiaoxi waved her hands hurriedly with a determined look.

"Well, remember, don't be stubborn. I will leave a medical soldier to protect you." Lu Peng reminded him, and said with concern, "Change the dressing first. I still have something to do." After that, he turned and left.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to Master!" Tian Xiaoxi nodded obediently, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Back in the team, Yang Xiuling came over and said worriedly: "Old man, I think Miss Xiaoxi is very good. Why are you always cold to her? If you two really have a chance, then get engaged!"

"Why are you worrying about it? I have nothing to do with her. Don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You don't understand girls, especially beautiful girls like Miss Xiaoxi, who are more likely to make men make mistakes." Yang Xiuling said seriously.

Lu Peng was too lazy to explain and changed the subject and said: "Now our position has been exposed. We must find a way to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to evacuate once the Japanese target us."

"This is a problem." Xu Xiaodong agreed.

Lu Peng pondered and thought that since the Japanese knew of their existence, they would definitely continue to search. In this case, they must use the terrain advantage to block the Japanese. However, considering that the Japanese have tanks, fighting hard is undoubtedly a dead end. There is only one way to find another way.

After thinking it over again and again, Lu Peng decided to take a risk and suggested: "Our current equipment is not good enough, so we can only attack actively, but this will consume a lot of physical strength, so we need a scapegoat. No matter what, our goal this time is to rescue the hostages.
