Chapter 106: A Difficult Bandit

Since Kang Cheng entered the courtyard, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw in his speech and demeanor, Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed for this, but almost three hours had passed, but the two Germans that Kang Cheng said had not yet appeared. The tea on the stone table has already drunk three pots, not to mention Lu Yuan, even the village chief who came to accompany the guests has already gone to the toilet several times to release water, and coldly watched Zhao An bring a pot of tea again, Lu Yuan finally became angry.

"Instructor Kang, so? This is to pour me to death with your big leaf tea? Lu Yuan still spoke, his eyes looked at Kangcheng, and his right hand suddenly reached into his pants pocket. It seemed that he went to his trouser pocket to take out the cigarette, but in fact, he opened the hidden buckle on the leg strap by the way, and as long as Lu Yuan stretched out his hand, he could pull out the pistol in the leg belt. However, Lu Yuan only opened the hidden buckle of the leg strap, and only after lighting the cigarette, he stopped talking.

Kang Cheng's heart was actually more anxious than Lu Yuan, when he left the station, he did arrange for someone to escort the two foreigners to the village, the station was only an hour away from the village at most, but it was three hours, not to mention the two foreigners, even his own escort did not appear. Kang Cheng's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately got up and called the two Eighth Route Army soldiers who were waiting outside the courtyard in, and then whispered a few words to the two.

Lu Yuan looked at it quietly, from Kangcheng's expression, it was not difficult for Lu Yuan to see that something seemed to be wrong, and the matter was likely to be related to Hans's two friends. Lu Yuan thought so in his heart, but his expression did not change at all, Lu Yuan felt that he was just helping Hans to lead people, and some things should not be so positive. The two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army brought by Kang Cheng quickly left the courtyard, and Kang Cheng seemed to have lost the mood to continue chatting, just pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"I'll give you ten rifles and a thousand rounds of ammunition, and you send someone to inquire about what's going on with the Eighth Route Army." Lu Yuan, who secretly watched the excitement for a while, whispered to the village chief sitting next to him, "Don't think I'm a spy or a spy sent by the Japanese or something, I'm here for those two foreigners, I see that the instructor's expression just now is not quite right, I hope it is not related to those two foreigners, so I need to inquire first." After listening to Lu Yuan's subsequent explanation, the village chief, who had already tensed his body, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there had been spies in the village before.

The village chief left for a while under the pretense of having something, and came back again after about ten minutes, but brought Lu Yuan good news. "The two foreigners you said were robbed on the way here, but the Eighth Route Army has already surrounded the thieves who robbed the road, and the thieves generally don't hurt the meat ticket in order to survive." The news brought by the village chief made Lu Yuan cry and laugh, but Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became strange then, not to mention ordinary little thieves, even those famous mountain bandits may not dare to attack the Eighth Route Army, there seems to be a problem here.

Lu Yuan with a cigarette in his hand. I suddenly wondered if I had persecution paranoia, and I always suspected that something would happen, but now it's okay, something is really wrong. He had personally promised Hans that he would help him bring the two Germans back to Shanghai safely, but now it seems that the situation is a little complicated, and his promise is likely to be lost. After sitting and thinking for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly got up and stood up, went back to the house, took out his backpack and strode towards the courtyard gate.

"Don't stop me, my temper is not very good, if you forcibly stop me for no reason, something bad may happen." Lu Yuan, who was stopped at the courtyard gate, had a cold face, his drooping right hand had already pressed on the leg strap that had opened the secret buckle, and his eyes were even more angry. Seeing this, Kang Cheng hurriedly walked over, but unfortunately Lu Yuan didn't eat him, no matter how Kang Cheng and the village chief persuaded him, Lu Yuan still walked out of the courtyard and faintly walked out of the village.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything, it's between you." The village chief, who was secretly complaining in his heart, walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving only Kang Cheng and Zhao An staring at each other, and after a while, Kang Cheng and several village militiamen also chased after Lu Yuan in the direction where Lu Yuan left. Lu Yuan was not very familiar with the terrain around here, but he had a full-view map to help, and when he opened the map, he quickly discovered the location of the Eighth Route Army besieging those so-called thieves.

Looking at the small red dots on the map that moved from time to time, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say, it was obviously a bandit pretended to be by the Japanese army or the Imperial Allied Army, but the Eighth Route Army didn't see the flaw. After running hundreds of meters towards the place of the incident, Lu Yuan casually found a secluded place, changed into the combat outfit taken out of the storage space, and then put the backpack he used to hide people's eyes into the storage space, and then continued to move forward with a sniper rifle.

Kang Cheng and they left the village only a few minutes later than Lu Yuan, just waiting for them to arrive at the entrance of the village, they could only see Lu Yuan's back from a distance, which had turned into a black spot, and secretly admired Lu Yuan's speed in his heart. But when they finally arrived at the place where Lu Yuan was changing clothes, Lu Yuan had already disappeared, and after chasing a little further, they met a platoon of Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed over from the station.

"Report to the instructor, the company commander sent us, the second platoon has already bitten those bandits in front, and the company commander wants our third platoon to block the bandits' retreat here." Knowing that Kangcheng was here, the leader of the third platoon led the team immediately came to meet with Kangcheng and informed Kangcheng of his mission. From the situation reported by the third platoon commander, Kang Cheng knew that Zhao Dahai had already thought of countermeasures, and it seemed that he was ready to wipe out these bandits, and a smile finally appeared on his expressionless face.

But the fact is diametrically opposed to what Kangcheng thought, as the gunfire and then the shouting gradually approached here, Kangcheng, who was lying behind a simple bunker, saw not the embarrassed bandits, but a group of people who calmly retreated. Like Kang Cheng, he didn't expect that there was still the company commander Zhao Dahai, he didn't expect that these fifty or sixty bandits would be so difficult to deal with in advance, not only did he have outstanding marksmanship, but also the grenadier was quite accurate. How could there be a grenadier in the hands of the bandits, Zhao Dahai, who was already red-eyed, didn't care about this problem, what he had to do now was to bite the other party to death, and then wait for the third row to launch, and finally eliminate the bandits in front and back.

The second platoon personally commanded by Zhao Dahai suffered heavy casualties, and soldiers were shot one after another, but Zhao Dahai still gritted his teeth and chased after him. I don't know if it's the so-called authorities who are obsessed with bystanders, Kang Cheng behind the bunker has already seen some problems at the moment, looking at the actions of those bandits when shooting, it seems to have the taste of regular soldiers, otherwise how would a group of bandits know to shoot alternately covering and shooting? How can you hit the grenadier so accurately? And their marksmanship is amazingly good.

Kang Cheng saw the problem, but he couldn't stop the start of the third platoon at this moment, and at the moment when he was in a trance, the third platoon leader had already fired the first shot. There was a gunshot behind them, and the bandits who were faintly being flanked from front to back did not panic, and after a short pause, the bandits suddenly separated a part of their people and rushed to the flank, while the bandits who stayed in place immediately divided into two groups and shot at Zhao Dahai and Kangcheng respectively.

Kangcheng is on higher ground here, so the bandits' actions can be seen clearly, those bandits who rushed to the flank seem to be out of order, but Kangcheng couldn't help but finally exclaimed. "It's bad, they're going to grab a point, three platoon leaders, you immediately lead a squad to bypass our left flank, and you want to occupy the mound over there before them." Kang Cheng pointed to a mound at the moment, although he didn't know what was behind the mound, but if the mound was occupied by these bandits with excellent marksmanship, the casualties in the second platoon might be even greater.

The commander of the third platoon was not ambiguous, and immediately moved towards the mound on the left flank with a squad of fighters, but before they had completely left the ambush position, they saw that two of the bandits who rushed in the direction of the mound had fallen one after another. What's going on? Not only the three platoon leaders, but even Kangcheng was dumbfounded, and just when they were stunned, two more of the bandits who rushed to the mound fell, and the remaining bandits had to lie down on the spot.

"Instructor, it looks like there's someone on the mound over there helping us." The third platoon leader retreated to Kangcheng's side, and since there were people on the mound who shot to help, the third platoon commander, who was worried about the safety here, did not plan to go to the mound again. The bandits under the mound got up and rushed twice, and after dropping a few corpses, they had to retreat to their original point in disarray. Seeing that the bandits who rushed to the flank mound were forced to retreat, a dull gunshot unlike the others followed, and after almost every shot, one of the retreating bandits always fell, Kangcheng couldn't help but hold up his binoculars to observe the mound over there.

Kang Cheng searched carefully twice with a telescope, but found nothing, but the terrifying gunfire continued to sound, and even after retreating to the original point, some of the bandits were still shot after the gunshot. The gunfire is very rhythmic, a veteran like Zhao Dahai can already hear from this gunfire that the person who fired the gun is a veteran, but he only hears the gunfire but can't see the person who shoots, Zhao Dahai's heart is always itchy and uncomfortable.

The chaotic gunfire on the battlefield has long since stopped, and the only thing left is the gunfire from the mound and the chaotic return gunfire of the bandits, and Zhao Dahai and Kangcheng have become idle spectators. "Eight Ge Yalu, despicable rat-like guys, can't you come out and fight with dignity?" The bandits who had been beaten in a hurry finally collapsed, and they had never encountered this situation of seeing their opponents but constantly suffering casualties.
