Chapter 7: The Pursuit

The inside of Xima Village was hot, but Ma Kui, who was waiting outside, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wishing that he could fly into Xima Village with wings on his back. However, Ma Kui looks stupid and rude, but he is an extremely careful person in his bones, not to mention that at this moment, he is only followed by two team members. Hearing the sound of gunfire in Xima Village, although Ma Kui was anxious, he did not enter Xima Village recklessly. A few minutes later, the gunfire in Ximazhuang suddenly stopped, and Ma Kui immediately looked in the direction of Ximazhuang, but found nothing unusual.

Whether to go in and take a look or continue to stay here and watch, Ma Kui's heart was very hesitant, and just as he was secretly hesitating, there was another gunfire in Xima Village. With a bang, Lu Yuan made a move to roll on a lazy donkey, so that he could avoid the grenadier from the Japanese army*. Lu Yuan, who rolled under a porch, turned around to look, but saw that the low wall he was hiding just now had collapsed halfway at this moment.

The Japanese army's khaki military uniform appeared in his sight again, but this time, Lu Yuan did not immediately raise his gun to shoot, but smeared oil on the soles of his feet. Being bitten too hard by the enemy will lead to the same danger as just now, Lu Yuan decided to take advantage of his physical strength and distance himself from the enemies first. There were sporadic gunshots behind him, and from time to time stray bullets flew past Lu Yuan's side, but Lu Yuan ignored these at all and just cared about moving his position quickly.

Lu Yuan, who is running fast, rarely moves in a straight line for long distances, and after running a few steps in a straight line every time, Lu Yuan will always suddenly turn or pause, not allowing the pursuers behind him to grasp his movement rules. "Yaga, this coward, can't you stop and fight with us in a dignified manner?" Lu Yuan's speed was not slow, although the Japanese soldiers who had been chasing him had not been thrown off, some of the Japanese soldiers were already out of breath.

The essence of the spirit of bushido, which the Japanese admire, is "loyalty, righteousness and bravery", which simply means loyalty first, honoring name over death, and martial arts and bravery. Honor, on the other hand, means that if faced with the dilemma between reputation and life, the samurai will resolutely choose honor. Therefore, not to mention that there is no danger, even if it is really a sword, the samurai will never back down, and should never be afraid, because it is a great insult to the reputation of the samurai.

Moving forward in danger, putting life and death out of the way, and even sacrificing one's life to protect one's reputation, this is the so-called samurai nature, and it is also what many Japanese soldiers yearn for. And Lu Yuan's behavior at this moment, in the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, was a cowardly act, an unforgivable tarnishing and violation of the samurai's reputation. That's why they clamored for Lu Yuan to stop and fight them face-to-face, instead of running away so non-stop.

But Lu Yuan is not stupid, naturally knows what is called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and besides, Bushido is a thing that the Japanese believe in, he is a standard Chinese, what bullshit Bushido, what is the relationship with the Chinese. But having said that, Lu Yuan, who had been running for a while, finally slowed down, and he came to Ximazhuang to eliminate these Japanese puppet troops, not to compete with them in speed.

Lu Yuan, who had completely stopped, stood sideways at a corner, and the assault rifle on his finger had also changed the magazine, so he didn't need to go out to look at it at all, just with the full-view map that had been opened, Lu Yuan could clearly know the specific location of which Japanese soldiers. Confirming that the Japanese soldiers had chased after him, Lu Yuan, who had stayed around the corner, glanced left and right a few times, and then walked forward quickly, climbed into a fenced yard, and squatted behind a large water tank.

The small fence courtyard is just opposite the intersection where Lu Yuan just came out, and there are water tanks and fence yards in front of him as shelter and cover, as long as they don't stare here, the Japanese soldiers who come out of the intersection will never think that Lu Yuan will hide here. The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, the first Japanese soldier with a rifle appeared at the intersection, and behind him, he naturally followed other Japanese soldiers, waiting for the fifth Japanese soldier to appear, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Although the fifth Japanese soldier who appeared at the intersection was also holding a rifle, Lu Yuan saw that the goods were clearly wearing a watch on his right wrist, although the distribution of materials for the Japanese army was obviously better than that of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, but the luxury of watches could not be distributed to the soldier level. Even ordinary Japanese soldiers may have captured something in their daily combat missions, but there are too many open and private rules in the Japanese army, and ordinary soldiers dare not wear them on their wrists even if they capture or snatch a luxury such as a watch.

This small discovery brought a great surprise to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan immediately moved his gaze to look at the waist and lower body of the Japanese soldier. Lu Yuan was a little disappointed that he didn't see the command knife or the ring used to hang the knife on his waist, but in the next second, Lu Yuan became excited again, because he actually saw a side-by-side pistol magazine bag on the waist of this Japanese soldier. In the Japanese army, only officers and some special arms will be issued pistols, and this guy who was stared at by Lu Yuan is obviously not a special class, so he can only be an officer in disguise.

Wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier, holding a rifle issued by an ordinary soldier, but wearing a watch on his wrist, and a pistol magazine bag on his waist, these small details that are not too conspicuous are enough to explain the problem. Lu Yuan, who was behind the water tank, immediately raised the muzzle of the gun, and used the scope to cover the Japanese soldier with a watch, "pop" Lu Yuan pulled the plate machine, and briskly fired a two-shot shot. The long-awaited bullet flew out of the muzzle of the gun, shot through the fence with accumulated energy and hatred, and burrowed into the target's body.

The Tomosaka rifle projectile has a high muzzle velocity, good quality and high accuracy of hitting. However, after the hit, it is often easy to penetrate, the wound is smooth, one or two eyes, the damage to the surrounding tissues is not great, and the lethality is obviously insufficient. However, after penetration, the velocity of the projectile decreases, and after the second hit, the projectile will form tumbling and deformation, and the trauma caused will be more serious. The Tomosaka rifle bullet has strong penetrating power, and it is easy to accidentally injure one's own people behind the target, while the opponent who is penetrated may not lose its combat effectiveness on the spot and can still counterattack, which is also the main reason why the Japanese military code stipulates that the bullet must be withdrawn when fighting in close combat.

The two bullets fired by Lu Yuan both hit the opponent accurately, although this was not a penetrating wound and not a secondary injury, but at the same time that the first bullet hit the opponent's left shoulder, the second bullet also drilled into the opponent's chest. The warhead that tumbled inside the target's body instantly shattered countless alveoli. The target hit by the bullet screamed and fell on his back, blood foam mixed with bubbles gushing out of his mouth and nose. The commander who had already been disguised was knocked down by the other party like this, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers immediately surrounded him and got busy with all his hands.

Lu Yuan has never been a benevolent person, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Lu Yuan, who succeeded in one blow, immediately pulled the trigger of the assault rifle in succession, and soon all the remaining bullets in the magazine were fired. The Japanese soldiers who appeared at the intersection didn't even make an effective response, they were shot by Lu Yuan unexpectedly, and most of them were shot over in an instant, and when they came back to their senses, Lu Yuan, who was hiding behind the water tank, had already disappeared without a trace.

In the next few brief exchanges, Lu Yuan successively switched to * and assault rifles, and for a while, the Japanese puppet army in Ximazhuang was confused. How many people are there against them? The attackers used two strong firepower weapons of different calibers in the firefight, in addition to using a pistol with minimal movement, and it was precisely because of this indelible doubt that the Japanese puppet army in Ximazhuang failed to exert its due strength, but it gave Lu Yuan great convenience.

"Boom" A column of smoke rose not far from Lu Yuan, which was a * that Lu Yuan had just thrown, and in the rising dust, Lu Yuan clearly saw that flesh and gun parts were thrown into the air. The successive defeats put great pressure on the Japanese commander Cao Chang, who took over the command, and in his shouts, the Japanese puppet army, which was originally in hot pursuit, finally retreated. After counting the number of soldiers, Cao Chang, who took over the command, sadly found that the number of soldiers was less than half of the number at the beginning.

Naturally, the Japanese army is not really shrinking its forces, and while the Japanese puppet army in front is retreating, there are already other Japanese puppet troops encircling from the rear and flanks, and there are great signs that they are going to encircle Lu Yuan here. But they didn't know that Lu Yuan still had a cheating device called a full-view map, and the mobilization of the Japanese puppet army in Ximazhuang had already been discovered by Lu Yuan from the full-view map, so when the Japanese puppet army on the front retreated, Lu Yuan immediately chased after him.

One chase and one escape, the pursuit battle continued, only this time, the two sides of the pursuit and the escape changed radically. The Japanese puppet army stationed here is used to it, although it was their side that has been dead before, but they have been chasing Lu Yuan and running, but now, it has suddenly become them running away, and Lu Yuan has become the one who pursues. As a result, there will always be unhappy guys who take the initiative to stay behind, but none of them died under Lu Yuan's gun.

Lu Yuan always stopped playing in the back, not giving the other party a chance to breathe at all, and even less giving the other party time to buffer. The formation of the Japanese puppet army gradually widened, and the gap in physical strength and the drag of the wounded soldiers made their speed slower and slower. After chasing two intersections, among the Japanese puppet troops who fled in front of Lu Yuan, there was only one squad leader of the Imperial Association Army left with the highest rank, and the other veterans such as Cao Chang, Wu Chang or squad leader had all died in Lu Yuan's hands.
