"I can go with you now." The Japanese officer had already slapped him, saved the person he needed to save, and killed the traitor. Wang Han finally said what the Japanese soldiers had been waiting for.
"Yes, sir." The Japanese officers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; Wang Han could finally go with them. Several Japanese officers immediately signaled the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had removed all their weapons to use as human shields to protect Wang Han in the middle of them, both to ensure Wang Han's safety and to prevent him from resisting. They followed closely behind, leading a large number of Japanese soldiers towards their regimental commander's direction, and the residents along the way were dispersed in advance.
The Japanese regimental commander breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving news that Wang Han had been recruited. He quickly tidied his uniform, had water brought to clean his disheveled appearance from the all-night chase, prepared toiletries for Wang Han, sent soldiers to guard the surroundings, and had a clean vehicle brought in. After preparing everything he could think of, he excitedly awaited Wang Han's arrival.
Under the protection of the Japanese soldiers, Wang Han walked towards the location of the Japanese regimental commander.
"Bang..." Suddenly, a shot from a pistol rang out. The bullet flew past Wang Han's forehead. The Japanese soldier closest to Wang Han, who was responsible for protecting him, fell to the ground instantly, his brains and blood splattering onto Wang Han's face. Fortunately, because it was a pistol, the recoil was strong and the accuracy was poor. In addition, the Japanese soldier was at a great distance, and the bullet came from a distance, so its trajectory was slightly off. Otherwise, it would have been Wang Han whose head would have been blown open.
The sudden turn of events startled Wang Han and also gave the surrounding Japanese soldiers a fright. Before Wang Han could react, the Japanese soldiers who were acting as human shields pressed him down to the ground and formed a human wall to protect him completely.
"Baka! Find him right now and expand the perimeter!" the Japanese officers standing nearby shouted. If Wang Han died, not only would they have been slapped for nothing, but their regimental commander would probably order them to commit seppuku as atonement when they got back.
"Send reinforcements immediately, expand the perimeter, and increase the guard distance. Get all soldiers moving!" The Japanese regimental commander, who had been excitedly waiting, was startled by the gunfire and immediately gave the order. Hearing the gunfire, he guessed two things: either someone was trying to kidnap Wang Han, or they were trying to kill him; neither was a good outcome.
"Bang bang bang..." Gunshots rang out from multiple directions, bullets flying toward the human wall protecting Wang Han.
"Protect the man! Protect the man!" Seeing the Japanese soldiers who were acting as human shields fall one by one, the Japanese officers shouted anxiously, rushing to Wang Han's side and using their own bodies to reinforce him. Knowing Wang Han's abilities, his safety was everything to them; it was the future of the empire. Led by the officers, more Japanese soldiers surrounded Wang Han, forming walls of flesh. Under their protection, even machine guns probably couldn't reach him.
"Find the enemy and counterattack immediately." The Japanese officers who had been acting as human shields breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Wang Han was safe.
"Bang bang bang..." The Japanese soldiers quickly located the enemy's position and launched a fierce counterattack.
"Damn it, it must be that guy from earlier. I kindly saved him, and he actually sent people to kill me." Hearing the continuous gunshots, Wang Han, who was squatting on the ground, guessed what was going on, but he still couldn't help but curse inwardly. He wasn't really working for the Japanese; he had his own plans. This time, he really almost died.
Hearing the gunfire outside the human shield, Wang Han did not stop the Japanese from retaliating this time. No matter what their reasons were, since they were going to kill him, Wang Han naturally wouldn't save them. He just told the Japanese not to hurt the residents.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed over from a distance and joined the ranks of protecting Wang Han and fighting back against the enemy. Once they found Wang Han, they no longer had any concerns about hurting him and dared not fire their guns. They even used machine guns. If they were not afraid of hurting the residents and provoking Wang Han's displeasure, they probably would have even brought out grenade launchers.
Protected by the human shields of the Japanese soldiers, Wang Han slowly moved towards safety. All the Japanese soldiers' attention was focused on protecting Wang Han and counterattacking the enemy. No one moved the corpses on the ground as they protected Wang Han; he simply passed them. Wang Han passed a Japanese officer who had died while being used as a human shield. Because he was being protected by a large number of Japanese soldiers using their bodies as a shield, his movement was slow and crouching, making it difficult for the tense Japanese soldiers to notice his small movements. Without making a sound, he secretly put the officer's katana, pistol, and bullets into his backpack. Then, when he passed the corpses of two more Japanese soldiers, Wang Han similarly put their weapons and equipment into his backpack. Among them were several Japanese melon-shaped grenades.
Five minutes later, the gunfire stopped. Facing thousands of Japanese soldiers in the town, those who wanted to kill Wang Han were quickly wiped out.
In those five minutes, more than twenty of the human shields surrounding Wang Han were killed or wounded, each with several or even a dozen bullet holes in their bodies. Even after the Japanese discovered the counterattack, they continued to find opportunities to attack the human wall protecting Wang Han, even resorting to suicidal charges and throwing grenades. It was clear that those men were desperate to kill Wang Han. However, thanks to the Japanese soldiers' relentless protection, Wang Han remained completely unscathed.
After the gunfire subsided, Wang Han was still being protected by the Japanese soldiers, who used him as a human shield, and led him to a safe area cleared by the Japanese regimental commander. The spies who had participated in the attack on Wang Han were also all found and killed by the Japanese.
"...After reaching safety, Wang Han silently emerged from the human shield formed by the Japanese soldiers. Although he knew why they wanted to kill him and understood their patriotism, he was still speechless and even a little angry. Was he the kind of person who would help the Japanese? He had his own plan for going with the Japanese; it was his life, after all. He had almost fallen into the gates of hell this time. As for the Japanese soldiers protecting him with their lives, Wang Han felt no gratitude whatsoever. He and the Japanese not only had an indelible national hatred, but the Japanese were also protecting him so desperately because they wanted to obtain his abilities; they had their own unspeakable secrets. If Wang Han didn't have his cheat-like abilities, he would probably have died a painful death in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp sooner or later."
"Is it him?" As Wang Han emerged from the wall of flesh, the Japanese regimental commander immediately asked Ozawa Madoka, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, Commander." Ozawa Madoka looked at Wang Han with great excitement and quickly confirmed upon hearing this.
Upon receiving confirmation from Ozawa Madoka, the Japanese regimental commander immediately ran to Wang Han, bowed deeply and solemnly, and said, "Respected sir, I apologize for startling you. It was my dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
"No, it's not your fault. I should thank you for risking your lives to protect me this time," Wang Han said with a smile. In this situation, Wang Han could only say this; otherwise, his hostility would be too obvious and would only be detrimental to his future plans.
