48: Chapter 48 Kill the ones in officer uniforms first

A great battle had taken place here during the day.

The smoke of battle had not yet fully dissipated.

The Japanese patrols were very frequent; the Suicide Squad had just entered the town when they encountered a Japanese patrol.

Because the recent engagements between the Chinese and the Japanese had always followed the same pattern: during the day, the Japanese would use heavy artillery fire, followed by tanks and infantry, to capture the Luodian positions.

And at night, the Chinese army would seize the opportunity to launch a fierce assault on the positions.

And reclaim them.

They went back and forth like this repeatedly.

Countless lives were swallowed by this meat grinder.

The Japanese patrol had ten men, and it was not easy to take them all out.

Therefore, whenever they could avoid them, Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu decided to sneak past to prevent being discovered.

After all, their goal was the Japanese Command Post; there was no need to waste time on the road and increase the risk of exposure.

This time, it was Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu leading the team.

Wang Ye had not expected the Battalion Commander to personally volunteer to lead the Suicide Squad.

Wang Ye was full of admiration for this.

He was fearless in the face of danger and sacrifice for the sake of defending the country.

This kind of infiltration mission made Wang Ye's adrenaline surge wildly.

Apart from the sound of breathing, no one dared to make any other noise.

In the livestream room, the Netizens felt this atmosphere, as if they were there in person.

They didn't even dare to breathe.

By bypassing the Japanese patrol, Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu, relying on his excellent sense of direction, was able to find the way even in the dead of night.

Wang Ye followed the team, weaving left and right.

Soon, they arrived at their target location.

An ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall could be considered one of the few well-preserved buildings in the town.

And precisely because of that, it had been occupied by the Japanese and turned into their Command Post.

Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu gazed intently at the Japanese soldiers not far away.

With a wave of his hand, several Chinese Soldiers from the Suicide Squad drew their broadswords.

They quietly crept along the wall towards the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

With two swift slashes, the Japanese soldiers on guard at the door had their throats slit.

The entire process made very little noise.

After dealing with these two Japanese soldiers, the few Chinese Soldiers beckoned to Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu.

"Move out," Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu whispered.

Subsequently, the main force followed him and charged into the ancestral hall.

At this hour, except for the sentries on duty, most of the other Japanese soldiers were asleep.

Even the Japanese Officers in the Command Post were the same.

Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu led Wang Ye into the ancestral hall and began searching for the Japanese Officers.

Their main mission at this moment was decapitation—to kill all the Japanese Officers, thereby paralyzing the Japanese command structure.

"Split up and move!" Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu ordered immediately.

Wang Ye took some men and opened a room.

Inside, quite a few Japanese soldiers were sleeping, with mats spread on the floor.

Wang Ye raised his broadsword and struck down without hesitation.

The Japanese soldiers, still in their dreams, died without even knowing what happened.

They would never see the next day's sun again.

"Ah..."

"Enemy attack..."

Wang Ye thought he heard the Japanese soldiers shouting.

But it was immediately followed by screams.

On the other side, Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu hadn't expected one of the Japanese soldiers to be such a light sleeper.

He woke up the moment they opened the door.

That shout of "Enemy attack" instantly awakened the Japanese soldiers in the room; furthermore, Japanese soldiers in other rooms were also roused.

But, it was too late now.

There was no other way; they had to kill them.

With a gunshot.

The entire ancestral hall descended into chaos.

"That's a Japanese Officer, kill him!"

Some Chinese Soldiers saw the Japanese soldier wearing a Japanese Officer uniform and immediately rushed forward.

At this point, killing one Japanese soldier meant they broke even, but killing a Japanese Officer meant a huge profit.

That Japanese Officer had just finished putting on his clothes, and the Japanese soldiers around him were the same.

They had never imagined that a squad of Chinese Soldiers would actually charge into their Command Post.

"Kill those wearing Japanese Officer uniforms first!" Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu shouted.

Since they had already been discovered, they had to finish this quickly.

Prioritize killing the Japanese Officers.

Up ahead, a Japanese Officer heard Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu's words and hurriedly took off his Japanese Officer uniform.

Leaving only his white underwear and white shirt.

Then he pulled over a regular Japanese infantryman nearby and stripped off his clothes.

After putting on the regular infantryman's clothes, he grabbed a katana and tried to run.

But the next moment, another voice rang out.

"And any Japanese soldier holding a katana, kill them without fail."

Inoshita Mori heard this and threw away his katana as well.

Right now, as long as he could survive, he would do anything.

"Also, kill anyone who is fat; they must be a Japanese Officer."

Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu kept reminding them.

Inoshita Mori was filled with despair because he was the fat one.

This was all just pig fat gained from overeating.

The members of the Suicide Squad heard Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu's words and immediately took note.

However, by now they were in a killing frenzy; whenever they saw a Japanese soldier, regardless of whether they were an officer or not, they would hack them to death first.

Inoshita Mori fled wildly.

Wang Ye saw him and felt that something was nine-tenths wrong, so he immediately chased after him.

Soon, he caught up to Inoshita Mori.

Limited by his physique, Inoshita Mori's running speed was very slow.

Wang Ye kicked him to the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me," Inoshita Mori begged frantically.

He was speaking Chinese.

Wang Ye understood him and wanted to kill him with one strike.

But then he had a second thought: perhaps this Japanese soldier was still useful and might know some Japanese secrets or something.

After all, this Japanese soldier understood Chinese, making him easier to communicate with.

"It's simple enough not to kill you. Where are your operational maps? What are your operational deployments? Tell me, and I will spare your life."

"Otherwise, I don't mind torturing you a bit."

Wang Ye threatened him with a fierce glare.

Inoshita Mori was terrified of death, so he agreed to Wang Ye's demands without hesitation.

"I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate. I know where these things are."

Seeing this, Wang Ye immediately pressed his broadsword against his back and brought him to Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu.

He explained the situation to Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu.

Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu was overjoyed. "Wang Ye, you kid have done a great service."

Subsequently, led by Inoshita Mori, Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu and Wang Ye found the Japanese operational command room.

Inside, there were Japanese operational maps and some military secrets.

Most of the text on the military secrets was in Chinese characters, which Wang Ye could understand to some extent.

Seeing the words "Military Secret," he immediately collected them.

Inoshita Mori was still being held captive.

Wang Ye actually wanted to kill him right then and there.

But he discovered that this Japanese soldier's rank was quite high.

Perhaps he would be useful later during the retreat.

So he kept him alive.

Just as they had collected the maps and documents, dense gunfire and the sound of grenade explosions came from outside.

"Not good, time to go." Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu's expression changed, and he immediately issued the order to retreat.

The Japanese soldiers who needed to be killed had been killed; more importantly, they needed to bring the maps and secrets they had obtained out.

Wang Ye also understood this point and escorted Inoshita Mori outside.

At this moment, the Chinese Soldiers of the Suicide Squad were fighting the Japanese soldiers with their broadswords.

In the pitch-black night, fighting with broadswords still had some advantages.

Besides broadswords, they also had grenades.

Furthermore, they had also scavenged quite a bit of Japanese equipment.

As Battalion Commander Liu Sanzhu announced the retreat.

Everyone fought while retreating.

However, the surrounding Japanese patrols were closing in.

In addition to these patrolling Japanese soldiers, more Japanese soldiers were being awakened.

In such a chaotic situation, Inoshita Mori had become completely useless and would even drag them down.

Therefore, Wang Ye strapped a grenade onto Inoshita Mori.

"Don't kill me, really don't kill me, I can help you translate those documents."

Inoshita Mori's words immediately made Wang Ye realize that this seemed to be the case.

"Damn it, lucky for you, you dog, that you spoke quickly." Wang Ye cursed, then dragged Inoshita Mori and retreated towards the outside of the town.

"You'd better run fast, otherwise I'll kill you right now."
