Chapter 63

Hu Hao entered the ammunition depot, followed by a few soldiers.

"Hey, Er Lengzi, what do you want to do? Entering the ammunition depot without permission is punishable by death!" A soldier beside him quickly advised.

"Mind your own business, where’s the machine gun?" Hu Hao asked.

"What do you need the machine gun for?" the soldier asked.

"Just tell me where the machine gun is, or I’ll deal with you!" Hu Hao turned around and glared at the soldiers.

"It’s over there!" A soldier pointed to a room not far away. Hu Hao immediately went in and saw a heavy machine gun. He asked, "Where are the bullets for the heavy machine gun?" A soldier behind him replied, "They’re in the box next to it."

Hu Hao looked at the box, which was nailed shut. He looked around and found a crowbar, pried open the ammunition box, took out the bullets, and loaded the heavy machine gun.

"Hey, Er Lengzi, what exactly do you want to do? You’re taking a heavy machine gun, do you want to go on a killing spree?" The squad leader quickly said. Joking, a heavy machine gun—if this guy starts firing, no one within a few hundred meters will survive. This was just delivered from the city last night.

"Mind your own damn business, get out of the way," Hu Hao lifted the heavy machine gun and pointed it at the soldiers blocking the door.

"Bro, who the hell offended you? Tell us, and we’ll take care of it. Put the gun down, okay? You’ll kill someone if you take it out there," the squad leader said.

"Get the hell out of my way, my brother is being interrogated, I don’t have time for your nonsense," Hu Hao said.

"What? Your brother, the regiment commander, is being interrogated! Who? They must be crazy! Let’s get our weapons," the squad leader, hearing this, immediately said.

"Get the light machine guns, what are you going to do with rifles?" The squad leader saw the soldiers all picking up rifles and said. The soldiers, hearing this, quickly grabbed the light machine guns and threw away their rifles. Hu Hao didn’t care and ran to the regiment headquarters with the heavy machine gun.

When he reached the entrance of the regiment headquarters, he saw that Colonel Zhang hadn’t come out yet. He set up the machine gun at the door and aimed it at the people in the courtyard.

"Er Lengzi, what do you want to do?" The political commissar saw this and was shocked. "He’s got a heavy machine gun!"

The guards in the courtyard quickly pulled the leaders behind them, afraid that Hu Hao would start shooting. Joking, this is a heavy machine gun!

"Er Lengzi, don’t shoot, no one is allowed to shoot. Damn, what’s going on here!" The political commissar quickly shouted.

"Er Lengzi, put the gun down, okay? Your brother is fine, he’s just reporting on recent work issues, he’s really fine," the political commissar quickly said.

"Don’t give me that, the political commissar and the division commander are here, why wouldn’t my brother report to them? Who is he reporting to inside? Do you think I’m stupid?" Hu Hao said.

"Are you not stupid?" The people inside couldn’t help but laugh and cry. For this, he brought out a heavy machine gun, isn’t this asking for trouble?

"Quickly let my brother out, or I’ll shoot everyone," Hu Hao shouted.

"Er Lengzi, put the gun down, your brother will beat you to death when he comes out, you damn fool," the political commissar said.

"What’s it to you if my brother beats me? Let him out, or I’ll really shoot," Hu Hao said.

"Really not letting him out, huh? Fine," Hu Hao fired a burst of bullets into the open ground in front.

"Rat-tat-tat"

This scared everyone. The soldiers didn’t know whether to shoot back; if they missed, everyone inside would be at the mercy of Er Lengzi.

"Still not letting him out? Fine, I’m not playing with you, I’ll shoot you and go save my brother myself," Hu Hao said, setting up the machine gun and aiming.

"Wait, wait, Er Lengzi, we’ll call your brother out right away," the division political commissar saw this and knew they had to act.

"Damn it, Jiang Wanshun, if you don’t let Colonel Zhang out, I’ll shoot you," the political commissar shouted into the room.

"Damn it." The division commander, hearing no response, kicked open the door of the command post. He saw a few people still interrogating Colonel Zhang, rushed over, and slapped Jiang Wanshun a few times.

"Are you deaf? The heavy machine gun is firing outside, and you’re still interrogating? Do you think our lives are long enough?" the division commander said while hitting him.

"Commander, this is my duty. Colonel Zhang hasn’t clarified the issues, so he needs to be interrogated," Jiang Wanshun said.

"Fine, come out, Colonel Zhang, come out, you damn fool, take a look," the division commander grabbed Jiang Wanshun and dragged him to the door. Colonel Zhang was puzzled; why was there gunfire at his command post? He wanted to go out and check, but Jiang Wanshun stopped him, saying he needed to clarify more issues.

When Colonel Zhang came out, he saw Hu Hao with a heavy machine gun aimed at the courtyard, surrounded by many soldiers, but no one dared to stop Hu Hao.

"Brother, come over quickly, we’re not going to be part of the Eighth Route Army anymore, let’s go back home and farm, brother," Hu Hao shouted when he saw Colonel Zhang.

Colonel Zhang was both moved and angry. You damn brat, can’t you scare me like this? A heavy machine gun, aimed at the cadres in the courtyard, are you trying to get me killed? You’re turning a small matter into a big one.

"You damn fool, who told you to set up the heavy machine gun?" Colonel Zhang quickly ran over.

"Colonel Zhang, what are you doing? You want to escape? And you, do you want to rebel? Get him!" Jiang Wanshun, seeing Colonel Zhang run over, quickly said and ordered the soldiers behind Wang Wankai.

But the soldiers behind didn’t listen. Joking, arresting Er Lengzi, do they want to die?

"Brother, is it him who interrogated you?" Hu Hao, seeing Jiang Wanshun, remembered him. Wasn’t he the guy who was sick during the New Year?

"Good, you damn fool, you have the nerve to interrogate my brother." Hu Hao rushed over. He was at least 20 meters away from Jiang Wanshun, but he reached him in less than two seconds. With a flying kick, he sent Jiang Wanshun flying into the command post, about 7 or 8 meters away, smashing several tables and chairs. Hu Hao didn’t stop, he continued to kick Jiang Wanshun, moving him a meter or two with each kick, terrifying the people inside who were involved in the interrogation.

The people outside hadn’t even reacted yet. Hu Hao’s speed was too fast, and the kick was too sudden. By the time they came to their senses, Hu Hao had already kicked Jiang Wanshun seven or eight times, and blood was gushing from Jiang Wanshun’s mouth.
