Chapter 411: Counterattack

Did Mei Xiao do this on purpose?

Zhang Yong's first reaction was that this was a trap.

Or rather, it was a decoy.

Mei Xiao had arranged it in advance.

She knew that she was from the Special Services Department of the Restoration Society. She was the sworn enemy of the Japanese invaders.

But she actually thrust a Japanese woman into his arms?

Zhang Yong was suddenly at a loss.

What is this? How should I respond?

Before he knew it, Aoi Akiyama had fallen into Zhang Yong's arms. She was like a quail.

A little fragrant...

A little plump...

Oh dear, this damned woman!

She had instantly pinched his soft underbelly...

'Aoi, don't be afraid, he's with the Manchurian Railway, he'll protect you...'

'I'm not...'

'Oh, no. No. I forgot. This is a secret. I can't tell. Aoi, you can't tell either. You can't tell your father. He's a Manchurian.'

'I...'

Zhang Yong was at a loss for words.

What nonsense was this Mei Xiao spouting?

Was she deliberately trying to create a false impression in Aoi's mind? Really, Aoi is not mentally handicapped. How could she possibly believe you?

"You guys, hurry up and go! Tiger Ba is here!'

'Who?'

'Tiger Ba!'

'Tie...'

In the flash of lightning, Zhang Yong remembered.

Tiger Ba. Tiexianquan. It seems to be someone from the Hungmen. Doubts. What are they doing here?

"They will kill all the Japanese.'

'Run!'

Mei Xiao continued to say anxiously.

It seemed to be addressed to Zhang Yong, but also to Aoi Akiyama.

Zhang Yong suspected that she was doing it on purpose. Creating a tense atmosphere on purpose. In fact, the atmosphere outside did not seem that tense.

The gun had just gone off once. And then it had stopped.

Frankly, it was hard to tell whether it was a gunshot or a firecracker.

It was just a sudden noise.

For outsiders, it might have been a bit alarming. But for Zhang Yong, he was used to gunshots.

Even if someone was shooting with a heavy machine gun right now, he would not be afraid.

Anyway, he would definitely not be within the range of the heavy machine gun's fire.

She is up to something.

She is definitely not that innocent.

Zhang Yong reminded himself to be careful. The wedding ceremony might also be a trap.

Thinking back on the whole thing, it felt very absurd. Who would marry a strange man in a church? And three women together.

Even if it were a gift from the heavens, it would be impossible for three to fall at the same time.

There was a problem...

There was definitely a problem with the three of them...

Squeezing Aoi Akiyama into his arms might also be a frame-up.

So...

he decisively pushed Aoi away.

I'm sorry. I'm not the protagonist. You'd better find someone else...

'Pop!'

'Pop!'

Suddenly, there was another gunshot outside.

Zhang Yong's face tightened.

This is a Type 88 rifle. Are the Japanese here?

Sure enough, Zhong Yang hurriedly came in from outside. He said anxiously, 'Captain, the Japanese military police are here.'

'Japanese military police?' Yu Le woke up with a frown.

'Yes! There are a lot of them. There may be 200.' Zhong Yang's face was tense.

This was the first time he had encountered Japanese military police.

This could not have happened in Songhu. The Japanese military police could not have entered the city.

The Japanese marines could not have left their Hongkou base.

However, here in Tianjin, the Japanese military police had special privileges. They "could" pursue anti-Japanese elements throughout Tianjin. This "could" obviously meant that the local garrison had capitulated.

After the signing of the He-Mei Agreement, the Huangpu loyalist troops were forced to withdraw from Pingjin. Only the local garrison remained.

Under the heavy pressure of the Japanese invaders, the only stubborn thing about the local garrison was probably the fact that only the Japanese military police were allowed in. They could no longer carry heavy weapons.

However, once this door was opened, the Japanese would definitely take advantage of it. How could they be satisfied with that?

"Calm down.'

'Don't panic,'

Zhang Yong said in a low voice.

This scene was indeed a bit sudden.

However, Zhang Yong was not completely unprepared. This would be the norm for the rest of their work.

Two years later, they would all have to fight behind enemy lines.

They would encounter not only the Japanese military police, but also the traitorous agents of the 76th, as well as various other traitors and informants.

If they could not even deal with a squadron of Japanese military police, they would not be able to do their job.

If they could not even handle difficulty level 3.0, how could they hope to handle difficulty level 10.0? They should just run away...

'Hurry up and go!'

'Hurry!'

At this time, Mei Xiao also appeared.

She casually pulled Aoi Koji back. With her, she fled in a hurry.

Zhang Yong: ...

This woman.

She really is putting pressure on him.

He was ready to let Aoi go. As a result, Mei Xiao dragged her back again.

'What are you doing?'

'If she stays here, she'll be killed.'

'She's Japanese. The Japanese military police won't kill her. Bringing her along will be troublesome.'

'Do you know what the Japanese military police are after?'

'After what?'

'The Boxers.'

'What's going on?'

'They're Ba Laohu's men. Iron Wire Boxing.'

'And me...'

Zhang Yong wanted to say, 'What the hell do I care?'

But in the end, he didn't say it. The Boxers were also Chinese.

Whether they were ignorant or naive. They were all resisting the invaders.

As it turned out, given the right guidance, they were a very powerful force. That's what the Eighth Route Army did later.

'Lao Cao!'

'Yes!'

'Take some men and block the Japanese military police from getting too close.'

'Yes!'

'Be careful. Don't get killed. Just cover the retreat of the Quanmin.'

'Understood!'

Cao Mengqi took his men and went.

He carried a Springfield M1903 rifle, which could shoot at long distances.

Of course, it was impossible to face off against the Japanese military police. The Japanese military police at this time were also very elite. Their marksmanship was very accurate.

Zhang Yong's goal was to delay the other party for half an hour and help the boxing civilians escape.

As long as the people dispersed, the Japanese military police would not be able to search the city. The local garrison could not be so weak.

'I'm afraid to take her to the Nissin Hotel,' Mei Xiao whispered.

'Where are you going to do what?' Zhang Yong frowned.

'The safest place is the most dangerous place.'

'You...'

Zhang Yong was speechless.

That was what she said. In reality...

Fortunately, Aoi was nearby, a bit dazed. She didn't hear.

Forget it. Pretend she doesn't exist. She is just a tool. A tool that Mei Xiao is using. Mei Xiao must have planned this long ago.

'Who exactly are you?' Zhang Yong asked Mei Xiao angrily.

'I'm your concubine!' Mei Xiao answered with a smile.

'What do you really want?'

'To give you a Japanese girl as a lover.'

'Thanks. No.'

'Yes. Yes.'

Zhang Yong really wanted to hit her. Really. But in the end, he didn't.

You shouldn't hit someone who's smiling at you. Sigh, so weak-willed.

If she were Japanese, she would have been dismembered long ago.

'Boo!'

Suddenly, Mei Xiao leaned in.

and gave him a firm kiss. His last vestiges of anger vanished in an instant.

He despised himself. He had no self-control!

Maybe one day, he would be eliminated by a beautiful female Japanese spy...

'Pang!'

'Boom!'

'Pang!'

'Boom!'

There were mixed gunshots outside.

There were Type 38 rifles. And there were also Springfield M1903 rifles.

The former had a sharper sound.

The sound of the latter is very explosive. It is mainly due to the excessive power of the bullet.

The 7.62 x 63 mm bullet had the longest cartridge case of any country in the world at the time. It also had the largest charge. It was extremely powerful.

Technically speaking, the Mauser rifle bullet was larger in calibre. However, in terms of the kinetic energy of the bullet exiting the barrel, it was inferior to the Springfield rifle bullet.

The Mauser rifle bullet had a cartridge case length of only 57 mm, which was 6 mm shorter.

'Retreat southwest!'

'Good!'

Yu Le woke up and arranged the troops.

Zhang Yong went first. Fighting was not his strong point.

At this time, the map showed that a large number of small red dots had appeared at the edge of the map.

They should be the Japanese military police.

Sure enough, they came quickly. There were a lot of them. They really came with a vengeance.

However, Zhang Yong, who had originally wanted to retreat, suddenly had a bold idea. It seemed that he could fight back a little?

Really.

The map showed the position of the Japanese invaders.

There was no protection on either side of the Japanese military police. If he attacked from both sides...

Command & Conquer was a battle system in itself!

Identifying the Japanese was just the basic function.

If he attacked from both sides with his own people, and then let the kites fly...

The map monitor had a range of 300 metres, so he could fly the kites freely.

Fight and run.

Shoot and move.

Leave the Japanese military police completely baffled.

Zhang Yong himself couldn't shoot. But monitoring the battlefield was fine!

He could monitor the entire battlefield.

He could lead people in an attack or retreat. He could lead people in a sneak attack.

He could always position himself in the most advantageous position. He would never be surrounded. Even if he was flanked, he could still escape.

What more convenient than that?

Even if he couldn't attack, he could still ensure that he was invincible.

If I can't beat them, I'll run.

If you catch up, I'll turn around and shoot you.

The only drawback is that he is not a good marksman himself. He needs to rely on others to kill the enemy.

But it doesn't matter.

There are too many sharpshooters in our Chinese territory.

'Instructor Yu!'

'Coming!'

'You take the others and go first. Leave me five rifles.'

'What are you going to do?'

'I can take care of some Japanese military police.'

'How?'

'I can accurately determine their location. Then shoot them from a distance. Then leave.'

'You tell Zhongyang to lead the others to retreat. I'll stay with you.'

'Okay!'

Zhang Yong agreed.

Yu Lexing's marksmanship was also quite good. It would come in handy.

At this time, the Japanese military police had already entered a distance of 200 meters. Cao Mengqi and the others had also retreated.

Over there, Mei Xiao had already led Kui Zi to evacuate first.

This time, she was quite agreeable.

'Zhongyang, you lead the others to retreat. Retreat to the southwest outside the city.'

'Cao, you and I, and Instructor Yu will stay behind. We'll try to attack the Japanese military police.'

Zhang Yong spoke quickly and to the point.

Cao Mengqi was a fool. He was looking forward to the battle. Naturally, he immediately agreed.

The others had no objections either.

Zhong Yang then led the men in retreat. Zhang Yong, Yu Lexing and the others stayed behind.

'Go!'

Zhang Yong led the five riflemen to the flank of the Japanese military police.

The map instructions were very clear.

Soon, they reached the Japanese flank. The distance was about 150 metres.

There were three scattered Japanese military policemen 150 metres away. They were completely unaware that danger was approaching.

'Only one shot each.'

'I'll shout the password.'

'Whether you hit or not, retreat immediately after me!'

Zhang Yong ordered.

Everyone nodded solemnly.

'Ready!'

'Fire!'

Zhang Yong ordered decisively.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

The guns fired.

It seemed that a Japanese soldier had fallen.

However, Zhang Yong did not look closely. He quickly ran away.

The Japanese soldiers reacted quickly. They would immediately return fire. They would not give you a second chance to fire.

Sure enough...

'Puchi!'

'Puchi!'

Bullets flew in all directions.

The sounds of walls and soil being blown away could be heard all around.

'Pak gou!'

'Pak gou!'

Then the gunshot was heard.

The Japanese counterattack was indeed super fast. It was almost less than a second.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong and the others had quickly ducked their heads, hunched over, and ran away in a hurry.
