Chapter 583 Murder During Unloading
"..."
Listening to their persuasion, Liang He slowly lowered his grip on the gun.
He glared hatefully at the dark mass of enemy troops opposite him, then turned around and gave the order: "Pass on my command, no one in the Fifth Brigade is allowed to engage in direct combat. The vanguard will provide cover, and everyone is to retreat! Retreat into the city and then make further plans!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The 5th Brigade of the 85th Group Army of China withdrew into Fuping.
The air was filled with the sounds of artillery fire and gunfire.
After several days of fierce fighting, more than half of the troops were lost.
"Reporting to the brigade commander! According to the count, the total number of men in all the squads combined is less than two thousand. Our ammunition is about to run out!"
Listening to his subordinate's report, Liang He silently plunged his knife into the ground.
The chief of staff glanced at him and quickly asked again, "How much food and supplies do we have left?"
"We still have enough food and supplies. Some people fled Fuping and had extra food in their houses, so I had my brothers carry it back. Some Burmese people also offered us food, but we didn't accept it!" the subordinate replied.
"We can't take their things. Who knows how long Fuping City will be under lockdown? Their own survival is in question. Those Burmese barbarians don't even treat their own people like people; they rob and kill without a second thought!" The chief of staff said, his face filled with rage. "They're truly a bunch of beasts, demons!"
"Ten days,"
Liang He's face was covered in stubble, his eyes bloodshot; he hadn't slept for countless days and nights. He looked out at the ruins surrounding his hideout, the darkness of the night, the howling wind sounding like the wails of vengeful ghosts!
“We’ve been fighting the Burmese soldiers for ten days and ten nights. There are still ten days until our agreed meeting with the commander in Yancheng. We must get through these ten days, no matter what. Reinforcements will surely arrive after that…”
"Ten days...can we even make it to that time?" The chief of staff looked at the few remaining bullets in his ammunition pouch, his face full of worry.
"Where's Wen Ni?" Liang He suddenly thought, "Why haven't I seen her these past few days?"
"She's been fighting guerrilla warfare with the troops lately. Although she's taken down a few enemy squads, it's like an ant trying to fight an elephant for us right now—she can't shake them at all." The chief of staff looked somber and tired. "If we had more ammunition, maybe we could hold on a little longer!"
“Brigade Commander, I’ve always felt that Wen Ni’s identity isn’t so simple. The Burmese barbarians even said she was the young general’s fiancée. This matter…” The other officers had always had doubts in their hearts.
"I'll find time to ask her about this." Liang He stood up, his gaze icy. "At this critical juncture of life and death, we must trust our comrades! Alright, now go and find a way to bring back some ammunition and weapons!"
"yes……"
Everyone got up and, taking advantage of the darkness, scattered in all directions.
Today, the entire Fuping City has been divided into two parts.
The 5th Brigade of the Chinese Army held out fiercely over 30% of the southern territory.
Almost 70% of the land to the north was occupied by two brigades of the Burmese, and their positions were constantly expanding, with their target being the territory of the Fifth Brigade of the Chinese Army!
"Beep beep".
Green military supply trucks were parked at the front-line checkpoint.
After a thorough inspection, the Burmese soldiers opened the gate and allowed them to pass.
These are a batch of supply vehicles transporting ammunition, each one fully loaded and heavy!
The vehicles came to a stop in front of the warehouse, and a group of soldiers came over and unloaded the goods from one vehicle to another. There was also a circle of guards with guns around the perimeter, ready to guard at any time!
"Hey bro, wanna have a cigarette?" A man dressed in a Burmese khaki military uniform and wearing a helmet walked up to one of the guards standing at the back of the vehicle. "It's our own camp, why are we so vigilant? Do you think those Chinese would dare to break in?"
"Break in? Unless they're tired of living." The guard shook his head dismissively, took the cigarette, and glanced at the man. "You look unfamiliar. Which unit are you from?"
"I came with the transport truck." The man chuckled, then turned and put his arm around the guard's shoulder, whispering in the latter's ear, "Look, what a good thing this is?"
Upon hearing this, the guard hesitated and lowered his head.
A sharp blade emerged from the man's sleeve and plunged straight into the guard's chest!
The guard's eyes widened, but before he could shout, the man forcefully pressed his mouth down, and with a roll of his eyes, he went to meet the King of Hell.
The man was still holding the guard's shoulder, supporting him as he collapsed, and chuckled as he led the guard's corpse forward. "I still have a few packs of good cigarettes. Come on, I'll take you to see them."
No one around noticed anything unusual.
Under the chassis of the last vehicle, a slender, dark figure moved swiftly, tumbling out with a deft motion. Taking advantage of the darkness, she slew another guard's neck with a single stroke, then dragged the guard's body with one hand onto the last supply truck...
In just over ten seconds
A figure dressed in a khaki guard uniform stepped out of the carriage; her slightly tall and thin frame went unnoticed. She lowered her head, walked to the passenger seat, and yanked open the door.
"Huh? You've finished unloading?" The driver was taken aback.
"Unloaded, the truck can drive away." The voice was a chilling female voice. "But you have to stay!"
The driver sensed something was wrong.
The next second, his neck was twisted!
He was still in the position of having his mouth wide open when the driver's side door opened from the inside, and the driver's body fell straight down!
The guards outside all turned around.
Seeing the driver's bleeding mouth and nose on the ground, they were horrified. Before they could even raise their guns, the vehicle's headlights blazed on, nearly blinding them!
"Qin Yuan".
"Here I am!"
The man who had offered the cigarette earlier was Qin Yuan. He darted out from the side, leaped into the passenger seat, and slammed the door shut.
The woman in the driver's seat was Wen Ni!
"Hold on tight."
She coldly uttered three words, then slammed on the gas, crushing the driver's body and crashing into the guards with guns around them!
The guards were so frightened that they dodged and weaved, bullets flew into the air, and they all fell to the ground.
"Someone is robbing supplies!"
"Stop him, shoot out his tires!"
They shouted at the top of their lungs.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a gun, Wen Ni leaned out the window and, with a few bangs, accurately took down several guards at the checkpoint!
"Trying to stop me? In your next life." Her smile was cold and chilling as she ruthlessly issued another order: "Qin Yuan! Blow them up!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yuan opened his palm, revealing two remote controls for time bombs!
Pressing the red button, there was a loud bang as the chassis of the other two supply trucks behind them exploded! It was a bomb package that Wen Ni and her team had strapped on beforehand!
The raging flames swept upwards, instantly igniting the weapons inside the carriage, and the shockwaves from the explosions knocked down the soldiers on both sides!
Those soldiers who had been relentlessly pursuing Wen Ni were also engulfed by the flames, rolling on the ground like fireballs, howling in pain!
"They are Chinese soldiers..."
"Damn Chinese soldiers!!"
A brigade commander from the Burmese army rushed out of his tent and, upon seeing this scene, roared in fury!
"Chase them! Even if it means destroying the vehicles and ammunition, we can't let them take the stuff!"
