Chapter 1151 Burning the Reed Marsh
"Baka! What's going on? How did it suddenly catch fire!" a Japanese soldier screamed in terror as his body was engulfed in flames.
As the fire spread rapidly, the other Japanese soldiers also began to curse in panic.
The Japanese soldiers cursed and swore as they desperately rolled in the mud, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
However, their efforts seemed to be in vain, because the raging fire not only did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.
Moreover, the flames on their bodies ignited the surrounding flattened reeds, and the burning reed flowers drifted out and ignited the reeds next to them.
In an instant, the entire reed marshland turned into a sea of fire, with flames spreading rapidly on the wind, licking at more and more reeds.
The once calm lake surface was now illuminated red by the firelight, and the smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery.
Faced with such a critical situation, Qin Rui told Jiang Jiyun, "These fires are probably not enough to burn the Japanese soldiers inside!"
Jiang Jiyun, who was standing nearby, lit another patch of reeds and told him, "Although it may not burn them to death, it will at least leave them nowhere to escape!"
After saying that, she took out the masks, and the three of them put them on and stepped back to the left.
Xiao Wei and Qin Rui, standing beside him, gripped their guns tightly, aimed at the Japanese soldier who was rolling and struggling on the ground, and pulled the triggers.
A burst of gunfire came from afar. It turned out that other Japanese soldiers had discovered the commotion and were firing their weapons at the three of them.
To the Japanese soldiers' utter surprise, at that very moment, a shell, as if sent down from the sky, suddenly struck right beside them!
With a deafening explosion, several Japanese soldiers were blasted high into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground some distance away.
Xiao Wei reacted quickly, grabbing the other two and, taking advantage of the chaos, sprinting desperately towards the shore.
Jiang Jiyun quickly switched weapons, aimed the dark muzzle of his gun at the Japanese soldiers who were also panicking and desperately fleeing towards the land, and pulled the trigger.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Qin Rui was unfortunately hit in the thigh by a stray bullet. His body trembled violently, and he was about to kneel down on one knee.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly. Just as Qin Rui fell to the ground, Xiao Wei and Jiang Jiyun reached out their hands almost simultaneously and steadily caught him before he fell.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them used all their strength to drag the injured Qin Rui, trudging through the mud, and then jogged to a nearby low-lying area.
After catching their breath, the two stood up again, picked up their guns, and continued to fire fiercely at the group of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers kept firing bullets and grenades at them, but many of them, seeing that the warships and troops had been forcibly detained, turned and fled in the other direction.
What they didn't know was that guerrillas were coming to their aid.
The battle only gradually subsided as dawn broke and the sun rose in the east.
Jiang Jiyun had no time to rest. He immediately told Xiao Wei to bandage Qin Rui's wounds and stop the bleeding, and instructed him, "I'll go clean up the battlefield first and see if there's anything useful I can bring back."
Before she could finish speaking, she had already turned and run away...
Xiao Wei saw that she wasn't far away, so he could treat Qin Rui's injuries whenever he saw her.
When Jiang Jiyuan and Xiaotian arrived at the place, they did not find Jiang Jiyun.
When Xiao Wei saw that they were looking for Jiang Jiyun, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a specific direction.
Following the direction Xiao Wei pointed, Jiang Jiyuan and the others saw Jiang Jiyun squatting in the distance, seemingly focused on something, but they couldn't quite make out what it was.
Due to the fire that damaged the reed beds, many wild ducks were startled and fled.
Jiang Jiyun focused his attention on the lively ducks and quickly sent them into his own space.
Not only that, even the small crabs that crawled around were also captured in large numbers and thrown into the space.
After shooting several seriously wounded Japanese soldiers, she continued to loot the corpses, picking up the Japanese soldiers' Type 38 rifles and putting them together.
Xiao Tian also rushed over, wanting to offer his help to Jiang Jiyun.
As Oda watched Jiang Jiyun stand up, preparing to check if there were any more Japanese soldiers who needed to be finished off, a flock of yellow ducklings suddenly appeared out of nowhere, following closely behind Jiang Jiyun with cheerful steps.
Jiang Jiyun suddenly saw a Japanese soldier staggering away into the distance. Seeing him running further and further away, he hurriedly ran north.
But to everyone's surprise, the little yellow ducks, seeing her run away, followed her around tirelessly like little shadows.
"boom!"
Jiang Jiyun took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then slowly placed his finger on the trigger.
When the target came within the appropriate firing range, she pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A muffled gunshot rang out, and the enemy's head was instantly struck, blood splattering everywhere.
After completing the task, Jiang Jiyun did not get up and leave immediately, but continued to lie quietly on the ground, observing the surrounding situation.
Just then, the cute little ducklings waddled out of the grass, quacking as they climbed onto Jiang Jiyun's body with their short legs.
Jiang Jiyun, who had originally planned to let these little guys off the hook, was suddenly speechless at the sight before him.
So she gently reached out and stroked the ducklings' fluffy bodies, feeling their softness.
However, just as she was engrossed in searching for any remaining enemies, a mischievous little duck climbed up her arm and onto her shoulder, affectionately pecking at her cheek.
Startled, Jiang Jiyun quickly came to her senses, but soon laughed again. She ultimately decided to bring the ducklings into her own space to raise them.
Once inside the space, the ducklings seemed to feel a sense of security they had never experienced before.
A clear and melodious quacking sound reached the ears of the ducklings.
Jiang Jiyun looked up and saw the sound of a mother duck calling for her ducklings coming from the opposite bank of the river.
Upon hearing their mother's call, the ducklings seemed to have found their anchor, abandoning "Xiangxiang" Jiang Jiyun and eagerly running towards their mother.
Watching the ducklings disappear into the distance, Jiang Jiyun shook his head helplessly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Then, she left the space and returned to the spot where she had been lying down.
A short while later, Xiaotian also arrived.
He looked around and, finding the ducklings were nowhere to be seen, asked, "Have all the ducklings been taken inside?"
"Yes, I put them in." Jiang Jiyun nodded and replied, "They were so noisy, they kept squeaking. I was thinking of letting them live freely outside, but they insisted on chasing after me."
