Chapter Eighty-Seven: Engaging in Battle

  It's a laughable and pitiful thing to say, in 1935, the Japanese had not yet made full preparations for invading China, and due to international pressure, they would always try to find various excuses when occupying Chinese territory. For example, the kidnapping of Gu Xiangyun to coerce Gu Xuedong that occurred in Tianjin was clearly a decision made by the Japanese military, but in order to cover it up, they didn't dare hold Gu Xiangyun directly within their controlled borders, instead placing her at the Black Dragon Society's Tianjin branch.

  As a leader of the Tianjin business community, the Japanese considered Gu Xudong a necessary figure to control, while also being wary of his influence in Tianjin. Therefore, they arranged for a squad of about 10 gendarmes to be responsible for guarding Gu Xiangyun, resulting in at least six gendarmes patrolling the streets around the Black Dragon Society's Tianjin branch at all times.

  The Wolf Tooth team, led by Dong Dacheng, ran to the intersection of Sakura Road and Nikko Street in about 10 minutes, then hid. Ouyang Yun first asked Dong Dacheng to point out where Gu Xiangyun was being held, then set up two plans: he and Yang Xucheng would take the lead, trying to quietly get rid of the patrol police; if they were not discovered, everyone would change into Japanese military uniforms, with Dong Dacheng responsible for keeping watch outside, Zhang Huaming going to the nearby power distribution station to plant explosives, and the others responsible for entering to rescue the person. If exposed, Chu Tiange and Zhang Huaming would immediately take explosive packs to bury them on nearby streets where pursuing soldiers must pass, preparing to block the pursuers, while the others would launch a strong attack.

  After assigning the task, he and Yang Xucheng each held a dagger in their mouths, one on either side of the wall, quickly moving forward.

  A Japanese Kempeitai patrol team was responsible for patrolling the streets, with two at the head of the street and two at the end, while another pair served as gate guards for the Tianjin branch of the Black Dragon Society.

  The constables at the street corner and the gate were quickly taken care of by Ouyang Yun and Yang Xucheng. At the street corner, Yang Xucheng even played a small trick, firing two daggers simultaneously, one shooting at the throat and the other at the mouth. The two daggers hit their targets with precision, causing the constable's miserable cry to be stuck in his throat along with his tongue being pinned by the flying dagger.

  However, it was not clear whether they were unlucky or if Cheng Gang and Dong Dacheng should have had this disaster. After Ou Yangyun and Yang Xucheng solved the two constables at the door, they were about to go and solve the ones at the end of the street. A constable suddenly wanted to smoke, but unfortunately, he didn't have a lighter on him, so he came to borrow fire from the constable at the door. The two sides met in a place about 10 meters away from the door, where a household's eaves had a 100-watt white light bulb shining brightly underneath. As a result, Ou Yangyun took advantage of the opponent's confusion and knocked him out, but unfortunately, he was seen by another constable at the end of the street. This kid didn't know what happened, so he ran over with his gun to investigate.

  Ouyang Yun was afraid of being recognized by the other party as not one of their own, so he quickly came up with a plan and made a hand gesture to Yang Xucheng before directly falling to the ground.

  That constable didn't understand the situation, and while shouting his companion's name, he ran over. He first checked on his companion and found that he had just fainted. As he stood up to see what was happening with Ouyang Yun, Yang Xiu Cheng pounced on him from behind. This pounce was a bit rushed, and the force used was too great. As a result, when his right hand covered the other's mouth, it didn't cover it tightly enough, so when he cut the other's throat, the other let out a blood-curdling scream.

  In the quiet of the night, there was an amplifying effect on sounds. Ou Yang Yun and Yang Xiu Cheng were both startled by this faint cry, breaking out in a cold sweat. Ou Yang Yun got up, seeing his pale face, sighed inwardly, patted his shoulder and softly comforted him saying: "It's nothing, it's the first time, after this we'll strengthen our training!" Then he let go of the constable who had been knocked unconscious, dragged him to the corner of the wall and pulled out the steel needle.

  Yang Xucheng said with a hint of embarrassment, "Still too tense." The constable who was about to be killed by himself was also dragged to the corner of the wall, and then he walked towards the target door.

  There, Chu Tian Ge and others had changed into Japanese military uniforms and taken their positions. Zhang Hua Ming picked up the explosives package and ran towards the nearby power distribution station. At this time, an unexpected scene appeared - the target's gate opened, and a woman wearing a kimono walked out.

  Chu Tian Ge stood at the forefront, taken aback by the sight of the woman. She was a young and beautiful woman, and in his haste, he hesitated for a moment without drawing his gun. The others seemed to be thinking the same way, unsure of what to do next.

  This woman was none other than Sakaya Junko, she heard a faint cry and came out to check, saw Chu Tian Ge and the others first stunned, then smiled and said in Japanese: "It's you guys today!" As she slowly retreated back, but after her body entered the door, she suddenly changed like a different person, quickly closing the door and shouting loudly: "Chinese people! Ishikawa, get everyone up!"

  Ouyang Yun had already run to the front door, heard her words, and looked at Chu Tiange and others with a stupid goose-like expression, and scolded: "Why didn't you kill her?!"

  Jiuyang Chunzi was indeed born into a ninja family, her sharp eyes scanned Chu Tian Ge and the others, discovering that they were wearing cloth shoes on their feet, and had already guessed their identities. The reason she said "it's you guys today" was just to numb them.

  "He said with a sneer: 'She is a woman.'"

  Ouyang Yun glared at him fiercely and shouted, "But first she is Japanese!" Then he rushed straight over, directly crashing into the door, shouting "Execute the second plan!"

  Everyone listened, and they all pulled out their pistols and cocked them. Ouyang Yun tried to force the door open but failed, so Dong Dacheng said, "Let me try," and after taking a deep breath, he used his head as a battering ram and charged forward. With a loud crash, the door was smashed to pieces along with the one behind it. However, once the door was broken open, Dong Dacheng had completely exposed himself to the enemy. Several gunshots rang out, and Dong Dacheng's body was hit by multiple bullets at the same time, causing him to be knocked backward. Ouyang Yun heard the gunfire and immediately shouted, "Everyone get down!" Then he caught Dong Dacheng's body, rolled into the doorway with him, shielding him with his chest, and turned his back to the courtyard. In a flash, he pulled out his revolver and fired an entire cylinder of bullets at the place where flames were erupting.

  Chu Tian Ge and others also opened fire at this time, and threw out two hand grenades.

  Here is the translation:

  The gunshot rang out, and immediately the police sirens sounded in the concession area. The roar of motorcycles also started up. Ouyang Yun had fired all the bullets from his shotgun and was about to charge inside wearing his bulletproof vest when suddenly a burst of "tutu" sounds erupted. Two Japanese thugs emerged from the hall, each carrying a submachine gun, followed by over a dozen thugs wielding long knives and shouting loudly. He hastily pushed Dong Dacheng behind the door and then rolled continuously into the courtyard under a tree.

  At the gate, Chu Tian Ge and others had just stood up and were about to rush in when a dense barrage of machine gun bullets came their way. They hastily dove to the side. Cheng Gang was at the back of the crowd, and couldn't see the situation in the courtyard very clearly. His reaction was slightly slower, and his abdomen was suddenly hit by several bullets at the same time. He let out a pained cry and fell forward.

  The firepower deployment of the little devil here was completely beyond Ouyang Yun's expectations. He had originally thought that the Black Dragon Gang would not use firearms due to their stupid warrior spirit, but now it seemed that there were Japanese military personnel present, and the defense was too tight for them to handle - or so it seemed. Was the plan to rescue Gu Xiangyun going to fall through? No, this wasn't just about the life and death of a little girl, but also about the reputation of Wolf Tooth and the Student Brigade! Ouyang Yun thought to himself as he hid behind a tree, gritting his teeth tightly. He pulled out his original handgun with his left hand and opened the safety with his right hand, just about to pull the trigger when suddenly a sharp "whooshing" sound came from above his head. His instincts kicked in and he dodged backwards, shifting his body slightly to the side. A blow dart shot past his neck and into the ground. He took a deep breath, looked up, and saw a black figure pouncing towards him from the tree, holding a long knife that glinted with cold light.

  "Damn it! There's a ninja hiding in this tree!" He cursed inwardly and kicked off with his right foot.

  He didn't expect him to not dodge, you know, this knife is going down and will directly rip his belly open! Her mind was racing with thoughts, thinking that it's worth taking a hit to kill the opponent, so she fell straight down without hesitation.

  In the flash of gunfire, Ouyang Yun's stomach was hit, and despite wearing a bulletproof vest, he felt an intense pain that made him spit out a mouthful of blood. The black figure was kicked in the chest and flew into the air.

  Ouyang Yun took advantage of the situation and didn't show mercy, enduring the pain to get up. He raised his right fist and struck the opponent's abdomen as they fell. His foot just happened to kick the opponent's ***, and the black shadow almost fainted from the pain. However, this woman was indeed a skilled ninja who knew ninjutsu, and she managed to twist her body in mid-air to avoid his punch.

  Ouyang Yun's fist rubbed against her abdomen and collided with the softness of her chest, realizing that the opponent was a woman. Suddenly, an idea popped up, and he took advantage of the momentum to hug her tightly. This woman was quite ruthless, being hugged by him from head to toe, she wrapped her arms around his thighs and bumped her head towards his crotch.

  The distance between the two was really too small, and at night it was even harder to see clearly. Ouyang Yun was about to use his gun to knock the other person unconscious before talking, but when she bumped into him like that, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body and almost jumped up. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Damn it, I forgot what kind of background Japanese women have!" He fiercely pushed her to the ground.

  The woman's head came into intimate contact with the ground and she immediately fainted.

  Just as Ouyang Yun and Heiying were entangled, the battle near the gate had also seen a clear outcome. After Chu Tiange and others experienced the initial chaos, their attack gradually became more organized. Yang Xucheng and Xiong Dacheng provided cover, while Chu Tiange climbed up the wall and threw three hand grenades into the courtyard, killing two machine gunners and several riflemen of the Little Devils. They were about to charge into the yard when a loud explosion was heard from not far away, and then all the lights in the yard went out. It seemed that Zhang Huaming had successfully blown up the power station.

  As soon as the fight broke out, Ishikawa Ichimonji led his disciples in a loud charge, but under the care of hand grenades and bullets, most of them only managed to show off their bravery for a moment before reluctantly going to see the Sun Goddess. Seeing that things were not going well, and not knowing where Sakeya Junko had gone, Ishikawa Ichimonji hastily led his remaining two disciples into the room and dragged out Gu Xiangyun.
