Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 85 Discovered



Chapter 85 Discovered

"Hahaha, all the medicine stored by the Japanese battalion is going to come to our militia for free," Li Qukou said chuckled as he looked at the dazzling array of medicines in front of him.

"Hurry up and move them, transfer the medicine first." Li Qukou said, handing a box to the soldier transferring the medicine at the window. Looking at the medicine that the Japanese soldiers hadn't opened most of, Li Qukou thought to himself that the Japanese had really helped them a lot this time.

After Li Qukou smuggled 10 boxes out of the window at once, he had each person carry a medicine box and quietly sneak back to the hospital wall. They then formed a human chain to gently pass the medicine to the action team led by Sun Qiang, who was waiting outside.

"Sun Qiang, quickly deliver the medicine to the reconnaissance battalion on the second floor and have them evacuate immediately."

"Yes, Director."

After Li Qukou delivered the 10 boxes of medicine he had just brought outside, he led his team back to begin the second round of transport.

In this way, Li Qukou moved the medicines from the Japanese pharmacy to the outside little by little, like ants carrying food.

"Chief, these are the last few boxes of medicine left," Cao Man said.

"Alright, everyone speed up. Once we finish this last trip, we can safely evacuate the county town," Li Qukou said.

"Tonight's mission went really smoothly!" Li Qukou thought to himself.

Just as Li Qukou was moving medicines out of the pharmacy, he suddenly heard the door open. Then the lights in the pharmacy came on, and a woman in a nurse's uniform walked in.

When she saw the people in front of her about to scream in fright, Li Qukou, who was closest to the door, swiftly flashed in front of the nurse, covering her mouth with one hand and striking her on the back of the neck with the other. The nurse then collapsed limply into Li Qukou's arms.

Li Qukou placed the nurse on the ground, turned around and carefully closed the door, while also pressing the light switch by the door, plunging the room back into darkness.

"Chief, what should we do with this female Japanese soldier? Since she's interfered with our operation, to prevent any accidents, we should..." Cao Man made a throat-slitting gesture towards Li Qukou through the beam of his flashlight.

Cao Man recalled his first battle with the Japanese, during which he witnessed the Wangjiazhuang massacre alongside Niu Dali, who was then a platoon leader. From that moment on, he secretly resolved to wipe out the Japanese devils completely.

“No, according to the provisions of the Geneva Convention, medical personnel must be respected and protected, so we cannot lay a hand on nurses,” Li Qukou said.

"What? We still have to protect her?" Cao Man asked, not understanding. In his eyes, none of the Japanese soldiers were good and they all deserved to be killed. At this moment, the doctors and nurses treating the Japanese soldiers deserved to be killed even more.

"Chief, I'm a rough man, I don't understand any treaties. All I know is that the Japanese killed our people, so it's only right that we kill them back. My descendants, knowing the heroic deeds of their ancestors, will surely write a page in my family genealogy. Chief, I don't understand why you won't allow us to kill them." Cao Man said, his face full of emotion.

“If we kill everyone, what’s the difference between us and those Japanese devils? Do we kill the Japanese devils’ children and little devils too?” Li Qukou asked.

"This... I just don't understand." Cao Man didn't know how to answer this question.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just obey orders. Tie up the nurse and gag her, but don't hurt her," Li Qukou commanded.

"Yes, Director." Cao Man reluctantly took a rope out of his bag and walked towards the fallen female nurse.

Cao Man first gagged the nurse with a rag, then bound her tightly like a piglet. While binding her, Cao Man muttered, "Let your country invade our country, let you invade our country." Cao Man's grip tightened, and the unconscious nurse groaned in pain from time to time.

"The section chief is tied up," Cao Man clapped his hands and replied to Li Qukou.

Li Qukou looked at Cao Man speechlessly at the exaggeratedly tied-up female nurse. Was it really necessary to tie her up like that just because she was a nurse?

"Cao Man, do you have some kind of special fetish?" Li Qukou pointed at the tied-up female nurse.

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." Cao Man shook his head repeatedly.

"Alright, the medicines have all been transported out, let's leave."

"okay."

When Li Qukou and Cao Man were retreating, they were discovered by Chief of Staff Sawada, who had come to inspect the hospital that day.

"What are you two doing sneakily?" Sawada asked, noticing Li Qukou and Cao Man dressed in Japanese clothing.

"Damn it, the Japanese have found us." Li Qukou knew he had been exposed when he heard the Japanese soldier on the other side speaking to him in Japanese.

"Chief, what kind of gibberish are those Japanese devils spouting?" Cao Man whispered.

"Prepare for the retreat according to the pre-arranged plan," Li Qukou said in a low voice.

Seeing that the two men in front of him did not react, Chief of Staff Sawada became suspicious. He slowly placed his hand into the butt of his rifle at his waist and asked again:

"Who are you?"

Before Chief of Staff Sawada could finish speaking, Li Qukou and Cao Man threw two grenades at them and ran away.

"Get down!" The Japanese soldier next to him quickly tackled Chief of Staff Sawada to the ground. Immediately afterwards, two loud "boom" explosions rang out.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Chief of Staff Sawada fired his pistol into the sky.

The Japanese soldiers stationed at the hospital rushed towards the direction from which the explosions and gunfire had come. At the same time, an alarm sounded at the Japanese military police headquarters next door, and a company of Japanese soldiers began patrolling the area around the hospital.

"Damn it, what bad luck! We were still discovered by the Japanese at the last minute. Luckily, the medicine was moved in advance, so we retreated quickly," Li Qukou said to Sun Qiang as he climbed over the wall.

"Yes, Chief." After saying that, the group began to retreat towards the East Gate.

Qin Yang, who was on duty on the second floor, heard the explosion coming from inside the hospital and knew that the operation had gone wrong. He immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for combat and cover Director Li's retreat. Seeing the Japanese soldiers closing in on the intelligence team, Qin Yang decisively ordered them to open fire.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!" The Type 92 heavy machine gun spewed fire, suppressing the pursuing Japanese soldiers. Seeing that the action team had some distance from the Japanese, Qin Yang decisively ordered the soldiers to retreat.

Just as Qin Yang retreated to the second floor, the Japanese grenade launcher fired a shell that accurately hit the heavy machine gun position on the second floor, and a burst of fire shot into the air.

"Holy crap, the battalion commander was absolutely right. Those Japanese grenade launcher operators are damn good." Qin Yang didn't have time to marvel before hurriedly leading his troops to retreat towards the east gate. He believed the battalion commander had already made preparations at the east gate based on the earlier explosion.

"Report, Chief of Staff Sawada, the enemy is fleeing towards the east gate," a Japanese squad leader reported to Chief of Staff Sawada.

"What is their purpose in coming to the hospital?"

"The enemy has emptied our medicine storage area. In addition, we found a nurse in the pharmacy who was tied up by the enemy, but she is not in any danger," the Japanese soldier reported truthfully.

"Baka yarou, chase after them!" Chief of Staff Sawada shouted angrily.

"Hay."
