Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3020 Just do it!

Gunfire erupted like thunder, instantly terrifying the already tense Japanese soldiers and puppet troops. They all dropped to the ground, heads pressed tightly against the earth, as if that would protect them from enemy bullets.

But at this moment, only the Japanese officer was still standing. He felt a sharp pain in his head and instinctively covered it with his hand.

When he brought his hand up to his eyes, it was covered in thick, sticky blood, and his scalp was burning with pain.

The Japanese officer was instantly enraged, his facial muscles contorting with rage.

He roared hoarsely, "Baka yarou, all of you get up and kill all these despicable miners!"

Upon hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops, though filled with fear, dared not disobey. They scrambled to their feet, raised their guns, and fired wildly at the makeshift defensive positions built by the miners.

Bang bang bang!
A barrage of gunfire rang out, howling with the scent of death.

Several miners who were about to stick their heads out and fire were hit by bullets one after another before they could pull the trigger.

What's even more chilling is that they were all shot in the head and died instantly.

At this moment, the miners who had just been clamoring to kill the Japanese devils truly realized how formidable the Japanese were.

The Japanese soldiers were too accurate with their guns; they were no match for them at all, and didn't even have a chance to fire a shot.

Panic spread rapidly through the crowd like a plague. The miners' faces turned ashen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. No one dared to fire a shot again; they simply huddled tightly behind their bunkers, barely daring to breathe.

Seeing this, Liu Jinbiao was extremely anxious, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He knew that if the Japanese soldiers rushed over at that moment, it would likely be a one-sided massacre, and all their previous efforts would be in vain.

He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Li Er, Zhu Zi, Da Chun, you guys organize a counterattack right now! This is it! If the Japanese get through, we'll all die!"

Upon hearing this, the four Japanese spies secretly realized that they were in trouble. This was not an order for them to organize a counterattack, but rather an order for them to kill their own people.

They were Japanese soldiers too, and they actually felt a little reluctant to harm their own compatriots.

However, they also realized that if they did not show a positive attitude, their identities would likely be exposed, and their previous infiltration plan would be completely ruined.

Everyone understands the principle of "better to die than to die," and although they felt somewhat guilty about killing their own compatriots, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for the sake of their own lives and the infiltration plan.

Li Er was the first to raise his gun, pretending to be brave and fearless, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's fight the Japanese devils!"

After saying that, Suzuki fired a shot at the Japanese soldier.

Watanabe, Kurai, and others followed suit and took the lead in firing their guns.

Inspired by them, some of the bolder miners also mustered their courage and fired their guns.

Gunfire erupted once again across the square, bullets whizzing back and forth between the two sides.

However, although the miners' counterattack temporarily halted the Japanese and puppet troops' offensive, the number of Japanese and puppet troops was simply too large.

Of course, this "too many" is relative. Compared to the several thousand miners, the more than one hundred Japanese and puppet troops were less than one percent of them.

However, in terms of military skills, the gap is too large and cannot be made up for by numbers alone.

Coupled with the Japanese soldiers' accurate marksmanship, the miners gradually found themselves unable to withstand the onslaught.

Just then, a stray bullet whistled through the air and struck Watanabe in the shoulder. Watanabe screamed and was sent flying backward.

"Ouch, that hurts! It hurts!"

Watanabe let out a scream, which infuriated Liu Jinbiao so much he almost kicked him. He thought to himself: "Are you some kind of Japanese spy? You've only been shot once, you won't die, what are you yelling about?"

But on the surface, Liu Jinbiao pretended to be concerned and said, "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, are you alright? Someone, quickly stop the bleeding."

As he spoke, Liu Jinbiao found a rag from somewhere and pressed it onto Watanabe's wound.

The cloth was greasy.

But Liu Jinbiao didn't care. If the other party got tetanus or died from the infection, that would be even better, as it would mean one less Japanese spy.

But Watanabe was unaware of this and thought Liu Jinbiao was a true friend who rushed over to stop his bleeding immediately.

Little did the two men know that as soon as Watanabe fell, the Japanese puppet troops launched another attack, causing the other miners to panic.

Some of the more timid miners were so frightened that they trembled and almost dropped their weapons.

The anger of revenge that had been building up earlier had long since dissipated, replaced by a renewed fear of the Japanese and their collaborators.

Liu Jinbiao looked at the panicked miners and was speechless.

But he knew that he had to encourage these people at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if their morale collapsed.

While pressing on Watanabe's wound, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't be afraid! There are so many of us, several thousand people! These hundred or so Japanese puppet soldiers, we could drown them with a single spit from each of them! We can't let the Japanese look down on us, stand tall!"

Kurai and Suzuki responded quickly. Kurai pulled the trigger while shouting, "Don't be afraid, everyone! As long as we work together, we will definitely defeat the Japanese!"

Suzuki also shouted from the side, "That's right, there are so many of us, what are we afraid of! Let's just do it!"

Encouraged by Liu Jinbiao and others, the miners' morale gradually recovered. However, they still faced the risk of being attacked by Japanese soldiers and puppet troops.

However, at this critical moment, a deafening battle cry suddenly came from the south side of the mine, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Suddenly, Ma Hu led a group of men and charged out from the side of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Ma Hu took the lead, his machine gun firing wildly, bullets raining down on the charging Japanese and puppet troops.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad behind him were equally determined, pulling their triggers one after another. In an instant, gunfire erupted and flames soared into the sky.

At this moment, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely unprepared. They were focused on charging towards the miners' positions and never expected that a group of people would suddenly appear from the side.

This sudden attack threw them into disarray.

For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and screams continued.

The Japanese and puppet troops, who had been so aggressive just moments before, now fell in droves, like wheat that had been cut down.

In just a short time, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than half casualties.

Those Japanese soldiers and puppet troops who were still alive, watching their comrades fall one after another, were filled with fear. They no longer cared about their superiors' orders and only thought about escaping this damned place as soon as possible.

So they quickly turned and fled frantically towards the north side of the mine!
