Chapter 962 Ambush and Hit
Not long after, Dong Dao stretched out his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing. This was the latest military sign language taught by Professor Lin Hao to the reconnaissance company.

Sign language is very practical because it allows troops to be commanded without making any sound.

"What's going on?" Lin Hao rushed up from behind and asked while looking forward through a telescope.

"There is danger, there may be enemies!" Dong Dao answered softly, looking at the jungle ahead.

Meng Fan was stunned for a moment, and also observed through the telescope for a while, and asked doubtfully:
"Death Star, are you too nervous? There is no enemy at all!"

"No, there are real enemies!" Dong Dao shook his head and said.

"How is this possible~!" Before Meng Fanle could finish his words, he heard a slight sound coming from the jungle opposite.

Then we saw a small sergeant with three soldiers crouching in the jungle, leaping forward alertly.

Meng opened his mouth in annoyance but said nothing more. The slap in the face came too fast and too hard.

"Long Wenjian, ask the signalman to send a telegram to Krupp, preparing to bombard the area!" Since Dong Jian is a signalman, the radio can now be used, and communication finally does not need to rely on shouting.

"Yes!" Long Wenjian replied, turned around and asked the signalman to send the message.

"Ready to fight!"

At this time, an accident happened again. The sergeant Xiao Ri, who was walking in front, did not notice the danger on the opposite side at all.

This surprised Lin Hao, and he soon realized that he had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy again these days.

According to previous combat experience, it was no problem for the four young men to face a team of 20 to 30 people. In addition, they had won battles one after another during this period and the British and American powers had fled at the sight of them. The sergeant of the young men had never thought that there would be an ambush.

Suddenly, Lin Hao had an idea in his mind, then turned to Meng Fanle and said:
"It's annoying. Arrange a few people to shoot in the front to attract Xiao Ri. This must be Xiao Ri's reconnaissance team. The main force must be behind."

This time, Lin Hao guessed correctly. The team responsible for attacking the airport was indeed a reinforced team of 150 people belonging to the 56th Division.

Because they knew in advance that the British army was guarding the airport, the officer was extremely arrogant. He thought that once they arrived at the airport, the British army would surrender, so in his eyes it was just a trip.

As a result, the search and alert became lax.

"Da da da~!" At this time, the soldiers of the guard company responsible for attracting enemy fire in the front opened fire.

Following a burst of not-so-intense gunfire, the two guys fell to the ground wailing. The remaining two soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, tried to run back, but were knocked down again.

"Baga, get on board." Seeing this, the captain of the Xiaorizi squad in the rear did not hide anymore and jumped out of the jungle directly, shouting the slogan "Long live the charge" and rushed towards the soldiers of the guard company in the front to attract firepower.

"Damn, so many people, there must be more than a hundred of them, right?" Meng Fanle looked at Xiao Rizi rushing out and couldn't help swallowing.

"Commander, what should we do now? Open fire?"

"Wait a little longer!" Lin Hao shook his head and then looked up at the sky.

At this moment, bursts of sharp whistling sounds came from the sky.

"Finally here." Lin Hao showed a smile.

······
At the airport artillery position, Krupp took a whip and whipped a British artilleryman hard.

"Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and work. If you keep slacking off, I'll beat you to death." Krupp is now Lin Hao's die-hard fan.

In other words, the entire Sichuan Army has boarded the pirate ship and can no longer get off. Of course, many of them don't want to get off.

After all, in their hometown, they were just a group of cannon fodder, but here they were the superior ones and could even punish or execute the Da Ying soldiers.

So now their mentality is somewhat like "broken jar, broken jar"; since things have come to this, they don't care about anything else.

"Yellow monkey!" The British artilleryman who was whipped was extremely annoyed. He glared at Krupp and cursed.

Hearing this, Krupp sneered and whipped him, then cursed in fluent English: "Coward, do you think I don't understand?"

He went to study in Germany before the war and could speak not only English but also German.

After saying that, he whipped him hard, kicked him again, and cursed: "Go, lock him up in the bright room, so that the brightness of the sun can dispel the darkness in his heart!"

This is a torture device invented by Lin Hao. It is a rectangular iron box that can only accommodate one person. The top is sealed with wire and then thrown into the sun. People with poor physical fitness can be directly sunburned to death.

If you want to experience it, you can sit on the seat of an electric bike that has been exposed to the sun, or lie on the hood of a car that has traveled a long distance. It feels so good.

In addition to the bright room, there are also humane punishment measures such as the small dark room and the sauna room.

There were quite a few British soldiers cursing before, but later Lin Hao picked out a few troublemakers and tried them one by one. All those who tried it were completely convinced.

When the British soldier heard that the Bright House was going to be closed, he showed a trace of fear in his eyes and shook his head desperately:
"No, I won't go in. I don't want to go in. I will be sunburned to death in the coffin."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please, I was wrong, I will definitely help you~!"

"It's too late." Krupp remained unmoved and signaled his men to take him away.

"Yellow monkey, I'm going to kill you. I must kill you."

Krupp sneered, then looked at the British soldiers squatting on the ground and said in English:
"Behave yourself, or you will all be locked up in a small dark room or sit in a sauna. Of course, if you behave well, you will get extra meals and ice cream today!"

When they heard about the extra meals and ice cream, all the British artillerymen were very excited, and some of them repeatedly expressed that they would obey.

"The commander is right. They are just a bunch of lowly bastards. They will behave themselves after a few meals of beating and starvation." Krupp sneered and muttered.

"Company commander, the regimental commander has an urgent message." At this time, a signalman trotted over and handed the telegram to Krupp.

After receiving the telegram and reading it, Krupp immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone, listen to my command, target XXX, position XXX, three rapid shots!"

With the help of British artillery, the muzzles of two M1 Long-legged Tom cannons moved simultaneously.

"Gunner No. 1 is ready~!"

"Gunner No. 2 is ready~!"

Krupp wasted no time, and immediately waved his flag after he was ready, while shouting loudly: "Fire!"

······
When Xiao Rizi, who was running, heard the whistling sound, he subconsciously looked up, and a lieutenant shouted with a broken heart:

"Baga, it's heavy artillery, it's heavy artillery, quickly dodge, quickly dodge!"

"Boom~, boom~!" Unfortunately, it was too late. Two 155mm heavy artillery shells fell near them, causing the ground to shake suddenly, and the surrounding trees were covered with flying wood chips.

The little person at the center of the explosion was first blown into the sky, and then fell heavily to the ground, no longer in human form.

"Oh my god, this is a heavy artillery?" Long Wenjian was so frightened by the heavy artillery that he took two steps back and said, "Damn, it's really powerful!"

"Blow up these bastards. They rely on their guns to chase us around. Now it's your turn!"

"Blast! Blast these bastards to death!"

"Damn, this Krupp really wasn't bragging." Snake-butt Ma Dazhi muttered, as he had previously said that the other party was bragging.

Three rounds of rapid fire, only six shells, but at this time there were not many people left standing on the ground. The power of the 155mm shells had been fully demonstrated.

Even the unlucky Japanese squad leader was blown to pieces in the first round of shelling.

The remaining Japanese soldiers stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, their heads still buzzing.

Why are there heavy artillery?
Where did the heavy artillery come from?

Why did the enemy dare to fight back?

What happened to surrendering at the first sign of trouble?
Why is it a heavy artillery attack?

"Kill, leave no one alive." Lin Hao took the lead in challenging, holding the M14 and pulling the trigger frantically, while shouting loudly.

The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army, who had been lying in ambush around them, pulled the triggers one after another and shouted loudly:

"Kill the devils."

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

At this time, under the barrage of M14 automatic rifles and grenades, the remaining soldiers fell in pools of blood. Some of them were only one step away from the defense line of the Sichuan Army Corps officers and soldiers, and the blood from being hit by bullets even splashed on the soldiers' bodies and faces.

By the time the remaining Japanese soldiers reacted, it was too late because the battle was over so quickly that not a single Japanese soldier was left standing.

"Clean up the battlefield. Remember to reload your guns first and leave no one alive!" Lin Hao doesn't have any extra food to feed these animals.

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army carried out Lin Hao's orders very well. When cleaning the battlefield, they fired another shot first and then searched for corpses.

If you get hurt, just shoot yourself in the head.

Prisoners? There are no such things as this. The brave young man will never surrender, and there are no prisoners at all.

"Commander, isn't this too cruel?" This was Lin Yi's first time participating in a battle. Looking at the Sichuan Army Corps replenishing their fire, he couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Lin Hao sneered and said, "Cruel? Are the civilians killed by the devils even more cruel?"

"The foreign devils once said, 'It is God's business to forgive them, and our mission is to send them to see God!'"

"Remember, the Sichuan Army takes no prisoners!"

"Captain Ayi, this is your first time on the battlefield. You are too young. Just fight a few more times and you will be fine. Don't be soft-hearted when dealing with the Japs." Ma Dazhi, a snake-butt, advised from the side: "The regiment commander is right. Don't be soft-hearted when dealing with the Japs. They are just a bunch of animals, that's for sure!"

"Yes, just treat them as animals!"

Meng Fanle also advised: "My Commander Ayi, you are high up and out of touch with the world. If you try to be merciful to the Japanese, they will blow you to death in the next second."

Long Wenjian remained silent, or perhaps he was used to it.

"Commander, a group of refugees were spotted in the distance!" At this moment, the scouts who were sent out ran back to report.

Hearing this, Lin Hao was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he said:

"The first infantry company will stay here to clean up the battlefield, and the others will follow me to take a look."

He was planning to start a large-scale construction project, but what he lacked was labor. Since he encountered refugees, he naturally wanted to keep them.

In the distance, there is a long line of refugees. They were all displaced due to war and forced to leave their homeland and head towards the Nujiang River.

As a result, when they were halfway there, they heard that Nujiang had been occupied by the Xiaori people. If they continued to move forward, they would definitely die.

In desperation, they continued to move forward, and as a result they met the scouts sent by Lin Hao. They learned that there was the Sichuan Army at the airport and that they could provide them with a stable environment, so they immediately followed.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. People living in troubled times are really worse than dogs.

Now, hearing that they can have a stable environment, hope is ignited in the hearts of these refugees.

At this time, in the team, a woman who was different from other refugees stood under a big tree, with her head down, holding a child, and shouting non-stop.

The reason why she is different is that she always maintains a neat appearance. You can tell at a glance that she is an educated woman, and she has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

"Gentleman passing by, who can help me bury my father-in-law?"

"Gentleman passing by..."

Unfortunately, no one in the long line of refugees responded to him. Everyone lowered their heads and walked towards their goal, trying to find a place to settle down in the distance.

At this moment, Lin Hao brought Meng Fanle and others to the refugee gathering place. Leading them was a scout from the Sichuan Army Corps named Liu Yishou, who was from the same hometown as Dong Dao.

"Liu Yishou, how far did you run to bring back so many people?" Dong Dao couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Yishou.

Most of the reconnaissance company under his command was sent out in groups of two to conduct reconnaissance in different directions. In addition to investigating Xiao Ri's movements, they were also responsible for bringing back the defeated soldiers they found.

In the past few days, several waves of reconnaissance teams have returned one after another, bringing back hundreds of defeated soldiers, all of whom were thrown into the teaching team for ideological education.

"Brother Dong, Commander!" Liu Yishou saluted when he saw Dong Dao and Lin Hao, then touched his head and said helplessly:
"Hey, I got lost. Who knew I would end up at the Nujiang River, which was blocked by the Japanese. On my way back, I ran into these refugee groups!"

"Originally they wanted to cross the Nujiang River to return home, but the river was blocked and they couldn't go back. I thought, isn't our airport under construction? They must need people, so I just brought them all back."

Hearing this, Lin Hao showed a satisfied smile, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, praising him:

"Good, good, you did a great job. I'll remember your great achievement later!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Lin Hao looked at the long team and estimated that there were nearly a thousand people. Not only that, but there were also defeated soldiers joining in from the jungles on both sides from time to time.

Humans are social animals. When they see people moving in the same direction, they will subconsciously follow them.

At this time, Lin Hao stood on a huge rock and shouted to the refugee team:
"My fellow countrymen, my name is Lin Hao, the commander of the 88th Regiment of the 21st Division of the 186th Army of the Sichuan Army. Our base is at the airport ahead!"

"There is abundant food waiting for everyone there. You won't have to worry about anything there. I will lead you to rebuild your home there."

Unfortunately, his words did not cause much reaction. No one even responded, or pretended to encourage him, which made Lin Hao very embarrassed.

Meng Fanle and others tried to hold back their laughter, while some couldn't help it and turned their heads away, covering their mouths and laughing wildly.

"If you keep laughing, you idiot, do you still want to eat dinner tonight?"

"My dear, Long Wenjian, take some people to cut off the Japanese's head, and build a Jingguan here for me, with a sign on it that says if any Japanese enter this place, they will die without a burial place."

To restore the confidence of these refugees, strong means must be used, and the heads of the Japanese devils are the best means.

There is nothing better than a Jingguan made of Japanese devils' heads.

"Ah? Commander, you've completely pissed off the Japanese." Long Wenjian said with some concern.

After all, once the Jingguan is set, the fight will not stop until one is dead. Given the character of the Japanese, they will definitely retaliate madly.

"What are you afraid of? Do you think that if we don't set up a Jingguan, the Japanese won't retaliate?" Lin Hao said unhappily:
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, I'll give you ten minutes, I want to see Jingguan."

"Yes, Commander." Long Wenjian muttered, "You really treat me like a messenger!"

"What did you say?" Lin Hao seemed to hear it, but also seemed not to hear it, and glared at him.

"No~!" Long Wenjian, who was in his thirties, immediately became scared, especially after seeing how Lin Hao dealt with the British army, everyone in the regiment became scared.

"Pass on my order, both sides should be on alert and escort these refugees to the airport. Also notify Milong and ask him to build a batch of temporary dormitories to accommodate these refugees first." Lin Hao frowned as he looked at the refugees who were like zombies.

"Commander, we don't have enough barracks." Lin Yi couldn't help but say.

Lin Hao frowned when he heard this:

"Go, ask Milong to find Kang Huojian and take out all the tents stored by the engineering company. No matter what, we can't let these refugees sleep in the wilderness tonight. Also, prepare some meat porridge. I want to see the results when I return!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Lin Hao, along with Meng Fanle and several other guards, walked towards the rear of the refugee group. Suddenly, they saw a beautiful figure in the distance, holding the hand of a little boy in a plaid jacket, standing under a big tree and shouting non-stop.

"Gentleman passing by, can anyone help me bury my father-in-law?"

Seeing this, Lin Hao immediately knew who this person was. He said that Lin Hao had a good impression of Shangguan Jieci, a lady from a wealthy family.

Of course, it is limited to goodwill, or sympathy. After all, Dorgon and Shazhu taught us with bloody lessons that widows with sons should not be messed with.

Seeing Shangguan Jieci, Lin Hao quickened his pace. The guard behind him was about to step forward but was stopped by Meng Fanle.

"What's wrong, Captain?" The guard who was stopped was confused. Why did they stop? What if the commander was in danger?
"Are you a tiger? Can't you see that our commander is interested? What are you doing? Being a light bulb?" Meng was annoyed and kicked him.

His legs have now fully recovered and he can walk normally, so it hurts when he kicks people.

"Ah?" Several guards suddenly realized and nodded quickly to show that they understood.

However, at this time, Lin Hao's voice came:
"Since you like to listen to others so much, it seems that you have forgotten your duty as a guard. Go to the front line and be a soldier in the future!"

Upon hearing this, several guards turned pale instantly. It was not that they were afraid to go to the front line, but they regretted not listening to Lin Hao and not fulfilling their duties.

Just like Lin Hao said, if they can listen to others and not protect Lin Hao today, then tomorrow others can use this excuse to deceive themselves into not protecting Lin Hao.

As guards, they have no business what their superiors’ thoughts are, but they actually tried to be clever and left such an obvious security loophole. What if something goes wrong?
Then Lin Hao said to Meng Fan:
"Meng Fan, you dare to make up stories about your superiors behind their backs. Since you like to make up stories so much, then you can become an arts soldier in the future! You can perform dramas for your brothers every day!"

"Commander, please don't!" Meng Fan hurried forward and hugged Lin Hao's legs, crying and begging:

"Commander, I was wrong. I just spoke without thinking. It was an unintentional mistake. I didn't mean to frame you..."
