Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 5 The First Battle
Zhangshu Village was bordered by a river and backed by rolling hills. The road to the county town ran along the riverbank. Wang Jun chose a corner two miles from the village entrance as his ambush point.

Han Hui arrived at the ambush site and saw a pile of rocks. If the enemy reached the foot of the mountain, they could push these rocks down and kill a few. "Well, this is a good idea. It saves ammunition."

Wang Jun was so happy when he saw the guns and ammunition Han Hui brought. "With these, we will definitely kill all the Japanese."

Han Hui asked, "Brother Wang Jun, what's the situation on the enemy side now? Have you sent anyone to investigate?"

Wang Jun nodded and said, "We've already sent someone to keep an eye on them. They'll report back immediately if they find any trace of the Japanese."

He has rich combat experience, and Han Hui feels relieved to have such a person leading the team.

After a while, a young man ran over and said, "Brother Jun, the devils are coming, the devils are coming..."

Wang Jun asked, "Is it possible that some of the Japanese soldiers are unable to move?"

The pillars indicate that the view is too far to be clear.

Han Hui deftly climbed a large tree, picked up a telescope, and took in the Japs' situation. She said, "There are six unicycles, four of which are occupied by Japs, two of which are laden with food. Some Japs are being supported by traitors. There are less than twenty of them able to fight, and they are all traitors."

As she expected, the people lying on the unicycles and those who needed help were all Japanese soldiers. The second group of Japanese soldiers consisted of some ruffians, gangsters and former police officers, who were not very combat-capable and were afraid of death.

Da Kui looked at the telescope and asked curiously, "Miss Han, what is this? It can see so far."

Wang Jun had heard his father mention Han Hui before, but he'd just ignored it. Now it seemed like this girl was a talent, having confiscated more weapons than their own squad. If she could be included in the team, it would be a huge boost.

Han Hui patiently explained, "This is a telescope. It can see objects and people more than a thousand meters away."

Wang Jun couldn't help but ask, "Miss Han, where did you get this?"

Han Hui said, "I bought it from someone in the county town. It cost me sixty dollars."

Han Hui bought all her guns and ammunition for free. She didn't buy her telescope; she bought that for a small yellow croaker at the county's black market. The system mall had everything, but she couldn't buy anything right now.

"Eighteen Brocades of Changchun" required 50,000 Wealth Points. She was desperate to increase her martial arts skills, so she tried every trick in the book to convince the system to grant her credit. The consequence of crediting her was that she couldn't purchase anything in the mall until she paid off her debt. Even worse, a small yellow croaker could only be exchanged for 30 Wealth Points. She couldn't afford to pay back 50,000 Wealth Points.

Wang Jun felt a pang of pain when he heard this. Selling such a thing for only sixty dollars, the seller was too shameless.

The Japs were already coming this way, so everyone hid immediately.

As the Japanese soldiers slowly approached, everyone's heart tightened. Qiangzi, who was lying next to Han Hui, was sweating profusely, and his hand holding the gun was shaking.

Han Hui put her ear to the ground and immediately pushed the stone down as soon as the Japanese entered their ambush circle. The others followed suit and pushed the stones down as well.

“Enemy attack…” “Baka…” “Ah…”

Han Hui pulled the fuse of the grenade and threw it towards the direction where the noise was coming from.

Seeing this, Old Man Wang, Da Kui, and Zhu Zi followed suit and threw grenades. After Da Kui threw a grenade, he shouted, "Blast you bastards to death!"

Watching Han Hui throw grenades like they were free, Wang Jun couldn't help but feel distressed. Ammunition was hard to come by, and they usually used it sparingly. But since these were Han Hui's gifts, he didn't say a word.

After running out of grenades, Han Hui bravely charged down with her Type 38 rifle. Wang Jun, Da Kui, and the others weren't afraid either, and rushed down with her. The Japanese soldiers were cowards, abandoning the Japanese soldiers and running when they saw the situation was bad. Han Hui refused to let them go. The Japanese soldiers were worse than beasts, and these Japanese soldiers who aided and abetted the evil were even more despicable.

The battle didn't last long, and it was over in just over ten minutes. All the Japanese were killed by Old Man Wang and Da Kui, and most of the second-rate Japanese were killed by Han Hui and Wang Jun.

Zhangshu Village is located upstream of the county seat. Four Japanese soldiers jumped into the river. Han Hui killed one, Wang Jun killed two, and the other one, who was a good swimmer, escaped by diving.

Han Hui felt very sorry because she had run out of grenades. Otherwise, if she had thrown a few more grenades in, the man would not have been able to escape.

Wang Jun saw that everyone's faces were flushed, obviously still in excitement. He said loudly: "The escaped second devil will definitely inform the Japanese. Let's clean up the battlefield quickly."

Looking at the fallen Japanese soldier and the second Japanese soldier and the scattered supplies, Wang Jun said, "Brother Da Kui, go find my dad and ask him to bring some people to move the things."

The food, livestock and spoils looted by the Japanese were too much for more than ten people to move.

"okay."

Cleaning the battlefield also includes finishing off the corpses, in order to prevent Luo Wang from getting hurt. Facts have proved that finishing off the corpses is necessary, and there really is a second devil pretending to be dead.

Seeing the traitor crawling up and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Han Hui pointed the gun at him and said, "Wash your face clean."

Learning from the previous lesson, Han Hui told the two devils to wash their faces in the ditch instead of the river. Fengxian County has abundant water resources, and many people can swim. Those who are good at swimming will feel like fish in water.

After washing his face, the second devil revealed his true appearance. Han Hui knew his identity at a glance: Yu Da, the devil's translator. She was eating at a stall in the county town when he walked by the stall and the owner told her about it.

Han Hui said, "Brother Wang Jun, I have something to ask him."

Wang Jun was picking up the guns and ammunition that had fallen on the ground. He nodded when he heard her words.

Han Hui led the group up for more than ten minutes and stopped at a tree stump.

Yu Da knelt on the ground and begged, "Miss, please let me go! I have an 80-year-old mother above me and a three-month-old daughter who is crying for food. If I die, they will not survive either."

She had seen this scene in a movie before, but she never expected to hear it in real life. It is true that art comes from reality.

Han Hui didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she asked, "Why did the Japanese come to our Zhangshu Village?"

"do not know."

Seeing Han Hui's expression change, Yu Da quickly explained: "I really don't know which village we are going to patrol or raid. These are all arranged by the emperor and the devils. We are cooperating with the operation."

Han Hui didn't believe him: "Why is the sweep faster this time than before?"

Han Hui stabbed his left leg with a knife: "Tell me or not?"

Yu Da nearly fainted from the pain, and he looked at Han Hui with fear. He hadn't expected this harmless girl to be so ferocious. He endured the pain and said, "It's not that the Japanese are fast, it's that your people are irresponsible. We didn't realize it until we reached the foot of the mountain. The Japanese sensed something was wrong and sped towards the village."

The village chief had said this before, but she was worried that some villagers were colluding with the Japanese devils, so it would be good if that wasn't the case.
