Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 14 Not Human

Han Hui pulled out a military canteen, drank half of it, and then went back into the space to count the supplies. Thirty heavy machine guns, twelve mortars, six mountain cannons, over two hundred Type 38 rifles, several boxes of bullets and shells, and over fifty boxes of grenades.

Han Hui was quite disappointed with the small amount of guns and ammunition in such a large warehouse. However, Fengxian County was not a fortress, so the Japanese might not attach much importance to it. Or perhaps the Japanese did not have enough weapons, so the amount distributed was too small.

In addition to guns and ammunition, she also confiscated the Japanese and the second-in-command's uniforms, gasoline, cotton yarn, cotton, cloth, and medicines, including more than 100 barrels of gasoline and more than ten boxes of medicines.

Han Hui searched the medicine box and found no sulfa. It seemed Huang An was even more valuable than she had thought. She would have to ask around in Shanghai to find out what it was used for.

After a short rest, Han Hui changed into the Japanese army uniform, put on high heels, and painted her face black. After wearing this leather uniform, Han Hui did not go through the alley, but went directly to Chen's house on the main road.

Han Hui, observing from the shadows, discovered two people hiding in the yard, another on the balcony, and a bodyguard in the room. With so many bodyguards, she knew without question that Chen Zhong was home.

It was two o'clock in the morning, the time when people were most sleepy. The two bodyguards in the yard were drowsy. Han Hui sneaked in and took care of the two dozing bodyguards in the yard.

The bodyguard on the balcony heard a thud and became alert. He quickly asked, "Agui, Aqiang, what fell to the ground?"

What answered her was a grenade with the fuse pulled out.

The bodyguard saw it was a grenade and quickly jumped down. As soon as he landed on the first-floor balcony, it exploded. The residual force of the explosion knocked him to the ground, and the falling wooden planks hit him on the head.

Seeing him dead, Han Hui leaped from the blasted balcony to the second floor. Knowing her own weakness, she immediately threw three unfused grenades toward the bed. A second before the explosion, she dodged into the interstellar space.

Chen Zhong saw a figure enter the room, throw a grenade at them, and then disappear. He was seriously injured and lying on the ground, unable to get up. At this moment, the figure suddenly reappeared. He was terrified: "You, are you a human or a ghost?"

Han Hui wouldn't explain his confusion to him, and instead shot him dead with one bullet. As for the other two bodyguards, they were already dead, so there was no need to waste bullets.

"Faster, faster, faster..."

The explosion attracted the patrol team. When they were about to reach Chen's house, the leader said, "Team One, follow me into Chen's house to investigate. Hu Zhi, you lead Team Two to the backyard alley. We must not let the murderer escape."

Han Hui was about to climb over the wall in the backyard and leave when she heard the shout. She was about to leave, and she had to leave a good impression on the Japanese and the second Japanese invaders.

Hu Zhi and ten of his men had just entered the alley behind Chen's house when something was thrown at them from a distance. "Oh no! It's a grenade! Get down!"

After the explosion, only four of the eleven people were left intact, and even Hu Zhi's back was burned.

"Chase……"

The remaining four were unwilling to give chase. They'd already lost so many of their own men without even a fight; chasing them wouldn't be like sending themselves to death. More importantly, with all the commotion just now, Chen Zhong was definitely dead. There was no point risking their lives over a dead man. He said tactfully, "Captain Hu, this guy looks tough. Let's report to Captain Zhang first!" Han Hui still wanted to finish them off, but she didn't expect anyone to pursue her even after she reached the alley entrance. These traitors really valued their lives.

At this moment, a series of powerful footsteps came from afar. Han Hui's eyes lit up. Only the Japanese troops could march so neatly.

When the Japanese were more than a hundred meters away from her, Han Hui deliberately ran out of the alley and ran to the alley opposite.

He was running around in the streets late at night, and moving so fast that the Japanese officer saw him and chased after him with his men.

Watching them enter the alley, Han Hui, who was lying on the roof, calculated the distance and threw grenades down, one after another, until the people below were desperate and wanted to ask her how many grenades she had.

Such a loud explosion would surely attract more Japanese soldiers. Han Hui had always walked around the county town when she came before, so she was familiar with the terrain. After bombing this group of people, she left directly from the rooftop and headed towards the garrison.

Sure enough, they soon encountered another group of Japanese soldiers. This group numbered over twenty, and Han Hui, using her old trick, lured them into the alley. When she first arrived, she'd thought the communications on Ancient Blue Planet were too backward, making everything inconvenient. But now, she saw that as an advantage. In interstellar space, such incidents would be instantly uploaded to the computer. The "lure you into a trap" tactic could only be used once.

After blowing up this group of Japanese soldiers, Han Hui left the alley and continued to look for her next target. She only used a dozen of the fifty or so boxes of grenades, so she could easily make them.

Hirata Hiroizumi, the highest-ranking officer of the Japanese garrison in Fengxian County, was unconcerned when his men reported that Chen Zhong had been assassinated. He was just a lackey, so what if he died? But the murderer had killed so many people, a clear challenge to the majesty of their Great Sun Empire.

Hirata Hiroizumi cursed "Baka" and ordered the army to assemble and search everywhere, and to kill all the Chinese who resisted.

Not long after, his subordinates staggered over and said, "Major, Major, something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."

Hirata Hiroizumi was already upset, and when he heard this, he said, “What’s the matter?

The subordinate trembled and said, "Major, the warehouse has been robbed, and everything inside is gone."

Hirata pushed the people beside him aside and rushed to the warehouse. Seeing only a few scattered packages inside, he roared, "Damn it!"

The people who followed were filled with dread at the sight of the empty warehouse. The theft was certainly infuriating, but the question now was, how had so much been taken? Hundreds of thousands of tons of grain had been stolen a few days earlier, and the garrison had beefed up its defenses. Not only were there four security teams patrolling outside, but two of their own teams were also constantly patrolling inside. With such tight defenses, it was impossible for the thieves to smuggle such a large shipment of supplies out within eight hours without being discovered. Unless they were not human.

Hirata Hiroizumi shouted angrily, "I'll dig three feet deep to catch this bastard... I'm going to tear her into pieces."

After dispatching the third patrol, Han Hui discovered the Japanese had deployed a large force. Unable to linger any longer, she rushed to the river. Arriving, she saw a sea of ​​Japanese and their allies, with over twenty boats on the water. The Japanese were quick to react, but leaving the city was now in jeopardy.

In this situation, swimming out of the county town by river was impossible, and it was almost dawn. Crossing the defenses and leaving through the city gate would make her more vulnerable to capture. Huang Shufen and Xiaocao knew she was in the county town to get her household registration, so she just had to get back to Shiling Town before dark. With plenty of time, Han Hui went to Huang's house to rest.
