Chapter 1174 The Japanese Soldiers in Disguise
Jiang Jiyun quickly stopped in her tracks, her eyes following the little boy who was running towards her in a panic.
She exchanged a glance with Xiao Wei beside her, then turned and followed the boy, retreating together.
Zhou Peng quickly ran over from the training ground behind the house and asked with concern, "Little Stone, what happened? Don't worry, catch your breath first, and then tell me everything that happened."
Little Stone trembled uncontrollably and collapsed onto the cold, hard ground, panting heavily.
He said haltingly, "I...I don't know! Those Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, there were more than two hundred of them!"
"After they stormed into the village, they started hacking and slashing at anyone they saw! Luckily, there were guerrilla comrades patrolling nearby at that time, which allowed us to escape and come over to warn everyone!"
Upon hearing that it was a Japanese attack, Ke Yue's expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted, "Oh no! The situation is urgent! Girls, quickly take the children and find a safe place to hide! Be quick!"
Jiang Wenming looked at Jiang Jiyun with a firm gaze and said, "You stay here and protect these children!"
Then he took Xiaotian and Xiaowei and ran towards the direction from which Xiaoshitou had come.
Along the way, the three arrived at a secluded and deserted place.
They quickly launched two large drones and maneuvered them into the air, soaring into the sky.
Standing on the clouds overlooking the earth, the view becomes extremely wide, and you can clearly see everything around you.
With their experience and teamwork, the three quickly located the area where the battle was taking place!
So they made a quick decision and piloted their drones to rapidly approach the source of the gunfire.
Jiang Jiyun, who remained where she was, watched the children still standing there, staring at the little stone.
She knew the situation was urgent and that she had to act quickly.
Therefore, Jiang Jiyun urged Fang Geping and his companions to immediately enter a state of combat readiness and be on high alert.
After receiving the warning, Jiang Wei and his men snapped out of their daze and rushed to the location where firearms and ammunition were stored, carrying out various pre-battle preparations in a tense but orderly manner to cope with the severe challenges that might come at any time.
Zhou Peng kept a close eye on Lin Dandan and her group of younger siblings hiding in the cellar.
After everyone was safely hidden, he carefully disguised the entrance to the cave so that it was completely concealed, leaving no trace.
After doing all this, he was still worried and couldn't help but bend down again to gently instruct his younger brothers and sisters hiding in the cave to cover their mouths with their hands and not to make a sound.
Seeing that they had begun to take action, Jiang Jiyun quietly went to a corner not far ahead and lay in ambush, preparing to deal with any emergencies.
She would not hesitate to fire her first shot to signal the danger if she detected any movement or enemy approaching.
In this way, Zhou Peng and others who are on guard duty in other places can be informed of the approaching danger as soon as possible and take corresponding measures to retaliate and resist.
Suddenly, through the lens of the binoculars he was holding, Jiang Jiyun spotted a group of figures slowly walking toward them.
At the very front of the procession were seven or eight women who were leading the way, followed closely by what appeared to be a dozen or so elderly men.
At first, Jiang Jiyun naively thought that these people must be the refugees who had successfully escaped from the village that Xiao Shizi had mentioned before.
However, just as she continued to closely monitor the team's every move through her binoculars...
But I unexpectedly noticed that one of the women was making rather large movements as she walked, especially around her waist where a metallic sheen seemed to shimmer faintly...
With her keen observation and experience in fighting the enemy, Jiang Jiyun instantly realized what this might mean!
So she immediately focused her attention on the suspicious woman and stared intently at every subtle change in her movements.
Meanwhile, Ah-Sheng, who had been secretly carrying out his sentry duties, also noticed the unusual situation on the road.
Upon seeing the elderly man and woman, he quickly approached them and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
He had just started talking to someone when a muffled gunshot suddenly rang out.
At that moment, Jiang Jiyun decisively pulled the trigger, hitting the person who tried to launch a sneak attack while Asheng was off guard with a single shot to the head.
"Ah Sheng, run!" A cry of alarm came from the woods, the voice filled with endless anxiety and fear.
Ah Sheng's gaze fell on the man who had fallen to the ground, and he saw that the man was tightly gripping a dark pistol in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, another burst of gunfire rang out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Jiang Jiyun fired bullet after bullet, providing powerful fire support to Asheng in the distance, hoping to slow down the enemy's pursuit.
Upon hearing Jiang Jiyun's gunshot and urgent shout, Asheng reacted instantly.
Like a nimble cheetah, he leaped up suddenly and rushed toward the pistol that had fallen to the ground with astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, he snatched the pistol and rolled into the dense bushes by the roadside.
He then vanished from the scene in a flash.
Those Japanese soldiers who were originally disguised as ordinary civilians also quickly fell to the ground after hearing the gunshots.
However, when they realized what had happened and tried to catch Ah Sheng, they found that he had already disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that Asheng had escaped, Ke Yue and the others gripped their crude homemade guns tightly and fired at the Japanese soldiers without hesitation.
Although these homemade guns were far inferior to regular firearms in terms of both aiming and firing speed, Ke Yue and his colleagues still did their best to improve the accuracy of each shot.
The Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, some firing in Jiang Jiyun's direction, others firing into the woods.
Jiang Jiyun moved forward while firing her gun, and in a short time she had killed nearly ten people.
The gunshots reached the ears of Zhou Yulan and her group, who were lying in ambush near the dilapidated temple. Each of them carried a red-tasseled spear and a grenade at their waist, ready to die together with the Japanese soldiers if necessary.
"Sister Lan, can Brother Zhou Peng and the others... can they stop them successfully?" The girl next to Zhou Yulan asked with red eyes.
Zhou Yulan turned to look at Zhou Ke, who was trembling all over, and said, "Are you scared? But from the day we picked up the red-tasseled spears, we were prepared to die together with the Japanese devils."
Zhou Ke shook his head and said, "Sister Yulan, I'm not afraid of death. I'm just a little nervous. I'm worried that if we can't stop them, Sister Dandan and her younger siblings might suffer a terrible fate."
