Chapter 257

Just as they were about to reach the valley, the sound of gunfire from the Japanese Army echoed from behind. A small detachment of the Japanese Army had refused to give up and was still in hot pursuit. Leitao and his men had no time to rest and immediately turned back to find cover. Leitao pulled several MP35 submachine guns and matching magazines from his backpack—the Bagua Spinning Top Space—and shouted, "Catch!" He tossed the submachine guns to the others. Hu Hansi caught his weapon firmly, pulled the bolt to chamber a round, and executed the movements in one smooth motion. He used a thick tree as cover, leaning out to observe the movements of the Japanese Army. The enemy was fanning out, approaching cautiously with their rifles raised, shouting periodically to try and rattle the resolve of Leitao’s group. Chen Feiyang gripped the MP35 submachine gun he had just received. Keeping low, he quickly moved behind a giant boulder and used it for cover, aiming his muzzle at the Japanese Army. His heart was pounding, but he quickly calmed himself, waiting for the perfect moment to fire.
