Anti-Japanese Black Wolf Special Forces

Chapter 676 Seeing Through the Conspiracy

The Japs were obviously adopting the strategy of surrounding but not attacking, while setting up a siege and waiting for the people who were blocking the city to come.

Once Zhacheng's large force came out to support, they would be able to surround it and first launch artillery bombardment on Zhacheng's large force, using poison gas bombs.

At this time, the Emerald River Base had already consumed a lot of ammunition.

Especially the artillery shells consumed the most.

What made Zhong Teng even more worried was that they only had less than seven days' worth of food left.

After all, they still have about fifteen thousand Allied troops, four or five hundred British troops, and about two thousand workers.

With so many people at the Emerald River Base, a lot of food would be consumed every day.

"Captain, we don't have much food left. The Japanese have been surrounding us. If this continues, we will run out of food!"

"We have less than seven days' worth of food left. It's obvious that the Japs want to starve us to death here!"

"Or else ask for help, go to Zhacheng for reinforcements!"

"Captain!"

Many officers came to the command post and looked at him with pleading faces, hoping that he could contact reinforcements for Zhacheng.

Zhong Teng gritted his teeth and said nothing.

He really didn't want to ask Yuan Shuai for support.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said.

"If we wait another two days, the Japanese might run out of patience and attack, or even retreat!"

As a result, two days later, the Japanese still did not withdraw.

They even used a small number of troops to launch a feint attack on the Emerald River base every night.

As soon as the Emerald River base opened fire, their teams quickly evacuated.

As a result, the people at the Emerald River Base not only did not get a good night's sleep during these two days, but also wasted a lot of bullets and artillery shells.

Many allied forces were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed.

At the same time, the Allied forces only had enough food for five days.

Zhong Teng began to get anxious.

At the request of many of his officers, he had to call the marshal of Zhacheng himself.

At this time, Yuan Shuai was inspecting the training ground.

In order to strengthen his own manpower, he selected a battalion of people from the allied forces for special training, with Fu Yidao as the instructor. The battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders and squad leaders were all selected from the national army. At the same time, he also improved their various treatments to ensure that this team would completely become his trusted special operations battalion and would not be used by Li Rong and others.

Suddenly, Li Rong came running over with two guards.

"Boss, Zhong Teng from the Emerald River Base called you. He probably wants you to come over for support!"

"Support!? How can I support? I fought so hard to capture the Emerald River Base, but it was occupied by him in just a few days. Now that he is under attack by the devils, he thinks of me. What was I doing in the first place? Tell him that I am very busy and have no time!"

Yuan Shuai left after saying this.

Li Rong quickly chased after him.

"Boss, Zhong Teng is indeed wrong, but there are so many brothers in the Emerald River Base, we can't just stand by and watch them die! If word gets out that we stood by and watched them die, wouldn't that chill the hearts of our brothers!"

"Who said I won't save people? Which ear of yours listened to me and said I would send troops to save people?"

Yuan Shuai looked at him coldly.

Yuan Shuai knew very well that if word got out that he did not rescue people, but instead sent troops to rescue them after being persuaded by Li Rong, then even if he led people to rescue them, people would only think that it was Li Rong's credit. If it were not for Li Rong, he would not have sent troops to rescue people.

This guy is really evil. He actually wants to steal the credit from me.

"…Well, you certainly didn't say you wouldn't save him!"

Li Rong's face turned red with embarrassment.

Yuan Shuai took out a cigarette and Li Rong quickly lit it for him.

Yuan Shuai exhaled a long puff of smoke and spoke earnestly.

"The Japanese will definitely monitor our radio and phone calls. If we say we are going to rescue people, will they let us succeed? If it were me, I would have set up a tight net on the road by now. By then, no one who comes to rescue will be able to leave!"

Hearing this, Li Rong broke out in a cold sweat.

Because after discussing with his brother, he felt that he must expand his own strength first.

And the Emerald River Base is the best opportunity.

If Li Rong led his troops to rescue the Emerald River Base, the people in the Emerald River Base would definitely be grateful to Li Rong and obey Li Rong's orders. At that time, he only needed to secretly kill Zhong Teng, and he could replace Zhong Teng, control the Emerald River Base, and develop the strength of his own team in the Emerald River Base.

In this way, his military strength will grow rapidly, and then he will have a greater chance of launching a mutiny.

And now, Yuan Shuai's words made him swallow several times.

"Why, do you want to lead the troops to rescue people?"

Yuan Shuai saw through his thoughts and looked at him with an evil smile on his face.

"No, no, without your order, how dare I act on my own!"

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Li Rong's forehead.

Yuan Shuai turned and said to Tie Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, let's go to the communications room!"

After saying that, Yuan Shuai brought his people to the communications room and picked up the phone.

"I'm Yuan Shuai!"

"Boss, I've finally got you. The situation in Emerald River is critical right now. I hope you can send troops to rescue us!"

Zhong Teng's excited and trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, and he almost knelt down.

I thought, I can be saved this time.

"Where's the Hami melon man? Is he dead? Why didn't he call me when such a big thing happened?"

"He, he, he has a cold and a fever recently, so it's inconvenient!"

Zhong Teng quickly found an excuse.

"Cold and fever? Inconvenient?! Zhong Teng, you are really good. While I was away, you put Hamigua under house arrest and took control of the entire Emerald River base. How about being the boss? It feels good, right?"

"I... Boss, you misunderstood! It is true that Hamigua had a cold and a fever and was unable to lead the Emerald River Base, so I was reluctant to take over! Don't worry, the entire Emerald River Base is your boss's territory!"

Zhong Teng on the other end of the phone nodded and bowed repeatedly, his forehead and face covered with cold sweat.

He didn't expect that Yuan Shuai knew everything about what happened to him in the Emerald River.

Yuan Shuai snorted coldly.

"Let Hami melon answer the phone, otherwise, don't even think about me sending a single soldier!"

"I……"

Zhong Teng was so angry.

He is now the boss of the Emerald River Base.

But Yuan Shuai did not recognize him as the boss, and wanted the British army's Hami melon to answer the phone.

But he could only cover the microphone and shout in a low voice to the people around him.

"Go, bring the cantaloupe over here!"

Hami melon was also kept under house arrest in the British military camp.

I heard that he would be taken to answer the phone.

A ray of hope suddenly flashed in Hami melon's desperate eyes.

But soon, he snorted coldly again.

"My legs and feet are not convenient, I can't walk over there!"

"...Halmi melon, don't be so ungrateful!"

An ally pointed at Hami melon's nose and shouted.

"Oh, you're threatening me. Fine, I won't go! Go find whoever you want!"

"I...Captain Hami melon, oh no, Uncle Hami melon, can we carry you over? Someone, go find a stretcher!"

The allied forces quickly found a stretcher and carried the cantaloupe to Zhong Teng’s headquarters.
