Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 174: Monk, kill the Japanese commander for me, hurry up! 1-word chapter!

The black shadow stood in the hidden forest in the distance, looking at the battlefield below, with a faint smile on his lips, as if everything was under his control. In fact, it was true, things were going according to his plan.

"Nomura-kun, the time has come, please prepare to attack immediately! Matsui-kun, it's up to you now, launch the attack half an hour after the poison gas attack!"

"Hi!" they said in unison.

Li Yunlong, who was fighting with Xue Laosan, had no idea that the Japanese were going to use poison gas bombs on them. At this time, Li Yunlong already felt that victory was in sight. The bandits under Xie Baoqing had already begun to flee, and the supervision team led by the Jade-faced Scholar was directly defeated. Seeing that the situation was not right, the Jade-faced Scholar hurriedly hid aside and found a secluded place to hide.

Xue Laosan watched his men fall one after another, but he continued to grit his teeth and persevere. He now had more than 200 men under his command, Zheng Dapao also had more than 200 men, Xie Baoqing had more than 100 men, and Li Yunlong had more than 300 men. Up to now, they still had the advantage in personnel. He had no intention of caring about the escaped bandits. As long as Li Yunlong could be caught, any loss would be worth it.

However, Xue Laosan still overestimated his status in the eyes of the Japanese. In order to eliminate all the insiders, the Japanese launched a poison gas attack in advance. The first to be attacked were the fleeing bandits and defeated soldiers. As the No. 3 ammunition was fired and fell to the ground, it released yellow-green gas. The air was filled with the smell of apples. The fleeing bandits and defeated soldiers felt as if their necks were being strangled. They began to have difficulty breathing, and soon they fell to the ground with foam at the mouth.

Li Yunlong was fighting with Xue Laosan, brandishing a ghost-head broadsword with great vigor. When he was about to ask the other party about his true identity, he suddenly heard a shrill scream in the distance. He was about to turn his head to look over, but before he could turn around, he saw several black spots flying in the distance. He immediately determined that they were mortar shells and shouted loudly: "The shells are coming! Find a shelter and hide!"

Li Yunlong was shouting while looking for a place to hide. After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao also reminded the soldiers around him. However, after the mortar shell fell, there was no explosion, but yellow smoke was released. Li Yunlong did not feel lucky, but felt that he was caught in a huge conspiracy. He shouted loudly with his throat: "Gas attack! The devils are coming, brothers, immediately carry out anti-gas warfare and evacuate the battlefield immediately, and you must be quick!"

Li Yunlong didn't have time to fight with Xue Laosan anymore. He didn't expect that the Japanese were lying in ambush nearby. If he had known this in advance, he would never wait for Xue Laosan to attack, but would find a way to meet up with Lin Zhenhua in advance. He understood how dangerous the situation was at this moment, and if he was not careful, the whole army would be wiped out.

Since the independent regiment had encountered attacks by the Japanese, they were very attentive in terms of anti-gas warfare, and even made it one of the core subjects of daily training. After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately began to look for water sources. Those who couldn't find any directly used urine instead, covered their noses with wet cloth strips, and evacuated from the battlefield in an emergency.

Compared with the quick evacuation of the First Battalion, Xue Laosan, Zheng Dapao and Xie Baoqing were not so lucky. They did not respond when they saw the poison gas. After all, they had never encountered a poison gas attack. When they saw the tragic situation of their men being devastated by the poison gas, they immediately withdrew from their positions without any care. Since the three of them were on the edge of the battlefield, they were quickly out of danger.

However, their men were not so lucky. They had no idea how to defend against the poison gas and could only desperately flee to the side.

"Xue Laosan, you are in cahoots with the Japs, right? Otherwise, how would they know we were lying in ambush here? And how would they launch a poison gas attack while we were having a decisive battle with Li Yunlong? Isn't this just taking advantage of us?" Zheng Dapao asked angrily.

Xue Laosan did not refute at this time. There were more than 30 people who followed him just now, plus the subordinates of the other two, a total of more than 80 people escaped. There were more than 3000 people and only so many were left. He had to think about how to survive next. He realized that the Japanese were planning to kill him in order to cover up the incident. Although he didn't know what the Japanese were thinking, he knew that the Japanese definitely had no good intentions.

Xue Laosan asked Xie Baoqing who was standing beside him, "Xie Baoqing, your lair is nearby, and you are familiar with the conditions of the surrounding mountain strongholds. Where do you think we should go now?"

Xie Baoqing knew that now was not the time to start a conflict. He had to quickly escape from this hellhole. He thought about it in his mind and soon came up with an idea. He said in a hurried tone: "Third Master, why don't we go hide in my Black Cloud Village? I have a secret passage in the village. Only I know it. Even the Jade-faced Scholar doesn't know it. I personally led people to secretly build it just to leave a way out for myself. Let's hide there for a while, but when the storm outside is over, we will come out again!"

Xue Laosan and Zheng Dapao also knew that they had no choice now and could only follow Xie Baoqing and leave. After the storm had passed, they would return to Yushugou.

The black shadow stood on the top of the mountain, looking at his masterpiece through the telescope, with a ferocious smile on his face, and said with a big grin: "Yoshi! Nomura-kun, the effect of the poison gas attack is very good, most of the enemies have been annihilated! Matsui-kun, it's time for you to go out. I can see that the warriors of the empire are getting impatient, please launch the attack immediately!"

"Hey!" Matsui Zhongzuo bowed and said.

Matsuno Masakazu, wearing a gas mask on his face and waving a command knife in his hand, led his team to launch an attack. They first shot at the remaining enemies on the battlefield, and then, with the help of the gas squad, began to fight with the remaining troops of Li Yunlong.

"Damn it! The Japs are well prepared. We can't delay any longer. If we go on like this, no one will be able to escape. Throw all our remaining grenades to me. As long as we can blow up the Japs' gas masks, they won't dare to chase us anymore!"

"Brothers, throw all your grenades at once and blow up these damn Japanese devils!"

Li Yunlong's grenade counterattack was just right. It prevented Matsui's squadron from moving too far forward and gave Li Yunlong and others a chance to catch their breath. At this time, only a hundred or so people escaped with Li Yunlong, and the loss was extremely heavy.

Fortunately, the poison gas bombs that the Japanese carried this time had been used up. Otherwise, the few silk strips alone would not be able to withstand the poison gas bombs of the Japanese. This can only be considered a blessing.

However, Li Yunlong's situation at this time was also very dangerous. After all, the Japanese had more than 200 people, while Li Yunlong had less than 100 men. The gap in military strength between the two sides was very obvious. What was even more disadvantageous to Li Yunlong was that he had no bullets left. If he wanted to survive, he could only fight the Japanese with bayonets.

After both sides left the range of the poison gas, Li Yunlong took off the wet cloth on his face, gently swung his sword, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the brave will win when two meet on a narrow road. Today, even if we die, we must bite off a piece of flesh from the Japanese. There is not a single coward in our independent regiment. Charge at me!"

The remaining soldiers of the first battalion also shouted "Charge!" and followed Li Yunlong to rush towards the Songye Squadron. Lieutenant Colonel Matsui took off his gas mask as soon as he left the poison gas. Seeing Li Yunlong leading the team to attack, he showed a ferocious smile, waved the command knife in his hand, and roared madly: "Kill! Kill! (Charge)!"

The two teams soon collided with each other and started a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Because the Japanese had the advantage in numbers and were well-rested, Li Yunlong's side was caught in a tough battle from the beginning and casualties increased rapidly.

After only ten minutes of fighting, more than 20 soldiers had been killed or wounded, and the number of casualties was still increasing. This made Li Yunlong very anxious. He shouted to Wei Dayong beside him: "Monk, what the hell are you doing following me? Go and get rid of the commander of the devils. Our situation is very dangerous now. If we are not careful, we may be wiped out. Only by killing the commander of the devils can we have a chance of survival!"

Wei Dayong said take care, and rushed towards Lieutenant Colonel Matsui with a big knife. Lieutenant Colonel Matsui saw Wei Dayong coming and didn't care at first. Instead, he asked the Japanese soldiers who were blocking the side to move aside. He wanted to have a samurai duel with Wei Dayong. He said to Wei Dayong provocatively: "Chinese, no, no, surrender quickly!"

Hearing the contemptuous words of the Japanese lieutenant colonel, Wei Dayong's anger soared. He used the "Li Pi Hua Shan" move to chop at the Japanese command knife. Lieutenant Colonel Matsui held the command knife tightly and retreated two steps before stopping. His arms were numb and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect the monk to be so strong. He almost knocked him to the ground.

Lieutenant Colonel Matsui shook his arms, with a scornful smile on his lips, and hooked his fingers to express his disdain. Wei Dayong saw that this was outrageous. The Japanese lieutenant colonel actually looked down on him so much, so don't blame him for releasing his ultimate move to let the Japanese have a taste of how powerful he is.

Wei Dayong gathered all his strength on the broadsword, rushed to the front of the Japanese lieutenant colonel at an extremely fast speed, and chopped at the Japanese's head with a fierce blow. Lieutenant Colonel Matsui immediately countered with his command knife, but he did not expect that Wei Dayong was feinting. When he was about to chop the Japanese lieutenant colonel, Wei Dayong suddenly moved and changed blades, and chopped directly at the Japanese lieutenant colonel's lower body, cutting the Japanese lieutenant colonel into two pieces. A shrill scream was heard, ending the Japanese lieutenant colonel's life.

When the Japanese soldiers beside him saw this, they immediately rushed up to avenge the Japanese officer, but they were all killed by Wei Dayong one by one. Seeing the Japanese lieutenant colonel being killed, Li Yunlong's morale was greatly boosted, and he actually fought the Japanese soldiers on equal terms. Now if a new force joins, he can directly turn defeat into victory and wipe out the group of Japanese soldiers in front of him!
