Chapter 251 Rescue the Hostages

At night, just after the soldiers at the airport finished dinner, Colonel William received a call for help and quickly asked someone to invite Lu Cheng over: "Major Lu, I have a very important matter here and I want to ask you for help."

"Colonel William, go ahead."

"I just received a call for help. Thirty miles to the south, a group of Allied friends were trapped in a church by the Japanese. There were about thirty or forty Japanese soldiers, and they wanted to capture these Allied friends alive.

There are several soldiers among our allied friends who are resisting by taking advantage of the terrain. I would like to ask Major Lu to help rescue these friends."

"How many of these allied friends are there? What are their identities?"

"There are 45 people in total, including missionaries, doctors, journalists, and adventurers. Most importantly, there is the daughter of a British aristocratic family. Her father is a senior official in the Ministry of Finance. He just called me and asked me to rescue his daughter."

"Then why did the daughter of this senior official of the Ministry of Finance come to Myanmar?"

"This young lady likes to be a journalist and even wants to be a war correspondent. She came to Myanmar for an interview not long ago and got stuck here."

"Okay, I agree to help you save people."

"Great, Major Lu, how many troops are you going to send? I can mobilize three jeeps and three trucks for you."

"No need to go to such trouble. I only need to lead a small team, not too many people. Give me two jeeps and a driver. In addition, you can arrange two trucks to pick up those allied friends."

"My God, are you kidding me, Major Lu? There are dozens of devils there, and you only need a few soldiers?"

"Actually, I can do it alone."

"God, this is crazy and risky."

"If you had asked the two American pilots, you wouldn't be so surprised. Okay, time is running out. I'll be ready to go in ten minutes."

After saying that, Lu Cheng immediately walked out of the meeting room and went to check on the troops.

Lu Cheng only brought six people this time: Abao, Milong, Bula, Meng Fanle, and two other very outstanding soldiers, Zhang Tieshan and Sun Qiao.

Bu La is a very good rifleman with accurate shooting skills and has the potential to become a sniper. Mi Long is also a very good machine gunner and has now mastered the essentials of machine gun shooting.

Meng Fanle has excellent on-the-spot reaction ability and command talent, and is suitable for training as an officer.

Abao and Sunqiao are very accurate with their submachine guns and are both very smart, with the talents of special reconnaissance soldiers.

Zhang Tieshan can throw grenades far and accurately, and can be called a human grenade launcher.

Lu Cheng brought them along in order to focus on training them and prepare them for forming his own special forces team in the future.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the rescue operation, Colonel William also provided the men with two British Type 77 rifles with scopes, four Thompson submachine guns, and two Browning High-Power pistols.

It seems that even this British colonel does not trust his own Sten submachine gun.

When Lu Cheng and others were preparing to set off, two American pilots also borrowed a jeep and claimed that they wanted to fight together with their idol.

After two days of getting along, the two American pilots have regarded Lu Cheng as their idol. It is like watching Lu Cheng fight, especially when Lu Cheng takes action personally. He is like a real superman.

It was Colonel William who learned about Lu Cheng’s combat record from the two pilots and only then did he feel at ease to let Lu Cheng take just a few people to rescue people.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the three jeeps quickly approached their destination.

Lu Cheng also always drives the upgraded thermal sensing radar to monitor the situation within a one-kilometer radius.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and we did not encounter any Japanese invaders along the way.

When they were about one kilometer away from the destination, in order to avoid exposing the target, Lu Cheng ordered the team to stop and walk.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng, with six soldiers and two American pilots following behind, quickly approached the destination church.

After entering the one-kilometer range, Lu Cheng had already figured out the situation near the church clearly. There were actually less than 30 Japanese soldiers here. A machine gun position was set up in the direction of the main entrance of the church, and there were a dozen Japanese soldiers scattered on each side, forming an encirclement of this small church.

Because they wanted to save the people inside alive, the Japanese did not choose to attack by force, but simply surrounded the people inside, waiting for them to become too hungry to have the strength to come out and surrender.

After figuring out the positions of all the Japanese soldiers, Lu Cheng brought Bula to a location, pointed at the Japanese soldiers' positions under the fire in the distance and said, "See that? That's the Japanese machine gun position. Your mission is to kill the Japanese machine gun group at the moment of the battle and not let their machine guns fire a single bullet. As long as you can do it, this sniper rifle with a scope will be yours."

"Captain, make sure the mission is accomplished."

"Remember the shooting tips I taught you."

Before coming, Lu Cheng gave some special guidance to help Bula, Milong and others get familiar with the new weapons in their hands.

After arranging everything, Lu Cheng quietly approached the Japanese camp with a Thompson submachine gun in his hand, and then suddenly jumped up and fired high-powered .45 bullets from the Thompson submachine gun in his hand. A dozen Japanese were killed with one volley of bullets.

At the same time, Bu La also used the sniper rifle in his hand to shoot and kill all four Japanese devils in a machine gun team.

A Bao and Sun Qiao also held submachine guns and shot and killed two or three Japanese soldiers each.

The Bren light machine gun in Milong's hand also shot and killed several Japanese soldiers.

Zhang Tieshan also took the opportunity to throw three grenades.

The two American pilots fired a few shots in a hurry, but did not catch a single Japanese soldier.

As for those Japanese who attempted to fight back, they were killed by the box gun and Browning pistol that Lu Cheng had just replaced.

The battle lasted less than a minute, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were killed.

If Lu Cheng didn't want to give his soldiers a chance to train, the speed might be even faster.

The gunfire stopped, and Lu Cheng spoke in fluent English: "Ladies and gentlemen in the church, you have been saved. We are the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and we have come to rescue you at the request of Colonel William..."

Afterwards, Lu Cheng called out the names of several of the trapped people.

Immediately afterwards, the church door was opened from the inside, and several men with pistols and submachine guns walked out first, followed by some unarmed ordinary people.

Only after seeing the corpses of the Japanese soldiers scattered all over the ground outside the church did these people feel completely relieved.

"Thank God, we were saved."

"Mr. Major, were you the one who rescued us? I want to thank you and your soldiers very much."

"Yes, gentlemen and ladies, you are safe."

"That's great, thank you. You are heroes."

At this moment, two or three young women walked out of the crowd. The one with wavy blonde hair in the lead held up a camera hanging on her chest and came to Lu Cheng: "Major, can I take a picture of you? Oh, you are the most handsome Oriental man I have ever seen."

"Of course, beautiful lady. However, now is not the time to take pictures. We can take our time taking pictures when we get back to the airport."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out his pistol, turned around and fired three shots into the sky, sending a signal to the jeep in the distance.

At this moment, the man with the big wave raised his camera and took a picture of Lu Cheng's profile.

The light from the church entrance shone on Lu Cheng's face, adding a bit of mystery to his resolute and handsome face. Coupled with the darkness behind Lu Cheng and his iron-blooded temperament, he seemed like a superhero who broke through the darkness and brought light...
