Shan Zi arrived suddenly. Jin Ye was overjoyed. But because Xiao Ru appeared at the same time, his originally happy heart was inevitably a little blocked and panicked.
Distributed according to location, the twenty-eight special operations team members were spaced more than 20 meters apart and distributed throughout the entire trench. Among them were Shanzi and Xiaoru.
Shanzi deliberately placed Xiaoru next to Jinye. He himself was forty meters away from Jinye.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon. Except for the sentry who was watching the wind, everyone else was free to rest in the trench.
"Xiaoru. Xiaoliu is injured. Has the regiment headquarters made any plans to assign another guard to the regiment leader?"
Jinye touched Xiaoru with his elbow and asked directly.
Xiaoru said: "Deputy leader Zhao mentioned this matter. The leader did not agree. I discussed with Yumei that I should serve as a temporary guard for the leader. Unexpectedly, the leader choked Yumei again."
Jin Ye said: "You deserve it. Why do you work as a guard for the regiment leader?"
Xiaoru asked: "Why can't I be a guard for the regiment leader?"
Jinye said: "Just because you are a woman."
Xiaoru was dissatisfied and asked again: "What's wrong with the woman?"
Jin Ye was impatient: "A woman is a woman. What did you say?"
Yanni smiled and added: "Women look different from men. It's a shame."
Xiaoru's cheeks turned red. She was embarrassed for a long time and suddenly said: "Sister Ye Zi, I'll leave it here. Once you get angry with the Japs, it would be weird if you don't rush into the Japs with the temper of the leader." It’s no good if you don’t have someone to take care of you.”
When Jin Ye heard this, he almost broke into a cold sweat: "Xiaoru, you are also a member of the regiment. Why are you here if you are not with the regiment leader?"
Xiaoru said: "This is all arranged by the group leader. Who knows."
Jin Ye deliberately scolded: "You are so cruel. How dare you send a spy to monitor me. Xiaoru, please get up and follow me. My aunt will send you back."
Xiaoru was hesitating. Jin Ye told Yanni to help Xiaoru pick up the quilt.
After a while, she stood in front of Shanzi's feet. Yanni placed the bedding beside Shanzi's right side.
Shanzi asked: "What are you doing?"
Jin Ye said: "Xiaoru is a member of your regiment. He should be with the regiment commander. Otherwise, there is someone who is both good and bad. I am a half-weight little company commander. How can I bear that responsibility?"
Shanzi said: "Watch your little tail wherever you go. I know what you mean. You have seen Xiaoru's shooting skills. I planned to let her give you some experience. Since you don't appreciate it, just put down your bed."
Jin Ye then said: "Xiaoru, just keep your eyes open and don't leave. Let's see how capable he is. How many little devils can he kill?"
After saying that, Jin Ye suddenly turned around, grabbed Yanni and left.
Watching Jin Ye return to his original position, Xiao Ru turned around and asked: "Captain, what do you think Company Commander Wang means?"
Shanzi sat down from the bedroll and prevaricated: "I know her well. She has always been aggressive and competitive. You have good marksmanship. You must have killed more Japanese than her. This makes her feel embarrassed."
Xiaoru took off the rifle from his shoulder and plopped down on the bed: "Captain, I don't think Company Commander Wang meant what you said. To put it bluntly, you want me to protect you."
Shanzi smiled disdainfully: "With her carefree nature, she couldn't have expected so much."
Xiaoru pondered for a while and then said: "If we compare Jinye and Yumei, I think you and Jinye are more suitable. In terms of personality, Jinye is more likable than Yumei."
Xiaoru continued: "I'm sure. If we didn't share the same surname, you would definitely choose Jinye. Jinye also likes you very much. It's just that you can't go beyond the customs and clan rules."
Xiaoru was surprised to find that Shanzi frowned and said nothing, and his expression was unusually solemn.
36
It was already three o'clock in the morning. There was silence inside and outside the position.
Shanzi stared at the dark night. However, he was disturbed by the tranquility in the night and felt uneasy.
At this moment, Xiaoru came over and said softly: "Captain, you haven't slept a wink all night. You are always looking back and forth. I have counted. This is the fifth time you have stood here."
Shanzi asked: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Xiaoru said: "I'm not sleepy."
Shanzi said: "Why didn't the little devil make any move?"
Xiaoru took a breath of icy cold air and replied: "Maybe wait until dawn. Anyway, there are sentries on duty. You lie down and sleep for a while."
Shanzi obeyed Xiaoru's advice.
However, not long after lying down on the quilt, twenty-five Japanese special forces soldiers climbed up to Circle Ridge like ghosts, more than 200 meters across, and chose a favorable position to lurk.
In this special forces team, there are five Japanese snipers who use Japanese-made Type 97 sniper rifles. The maximum range is 3,700 meters and the accurate range is 600 meters.
Look at the uniforms and equipment of these special forces. They all wear steel helmets and wear a white armband with a red sun pattern on their left arm.
The number and tasks of the Japanese special forces on the southern front are the same as those on the northern front. They mainly contain the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. When the time is right, they break through the defense line and cooperate with the large forces inside and outside.
Due to terrain considerations, Ishii took positions No. 1 and 2 as the main attack targets this time. In addition to deploying 150 special forces evenly on the east and west fronts, all other armies were also merged into one, divided into two, and concentrated. Attack the Independent Regiment's No. 1 and 2 positions. Tahara and Ando are personally in charge.
The two armies in the east and west are each equipped with ten snipers, specifically to deal with machine gunners on the ground and in bunkers.
For fear of exposing the target, according to Ishii's pre-war plan, large forces can only be dispatched after the special forces arrive at the predetermined location.
The strange thing is that these special forces deliberately avoided the passage and groped forward through the void between the dark pits.
Due to their secretive whereabouts, the Japanese special forces successfully passed through the hidden pit area and ambush about fifty meters away from the position. The sentries at positions 1 and 2 were still unaware of it.
Ishii glanced at his watch from the military tent. It was already three fifty-six. There were only four minutes left before the total victory.
Four minutes passed in an instant. Ishii personally picked up the microphone and issued attack orders to the east and west armies.
Just a few minutes later, noisy and chaotic footsteps were heard from positions No. 1 and 2.
There is no need for a commander to give orders. The soldiers quickly prepare for battle.
Because of their first attack experience, the two Japanese armies each divided into six attack units and attacked the passage in the independent regiment's defense area. Each offensive unit was equipped with a sniper to deal with the heavy machine guns in the bunker.
When the Japanese army came into our sight in the passage, the heavy machine gun in the bunker opened fire first. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese soldiers quickly fell down. The sniper rolled on the spot and aimed at the shooting window of the bunker at the side of the passage.
The sniper pulled the trigger instantly. The gunfire in the bunker suddenly stopped. The Japanese took the opportunity to get up from the ground and rushed forward one after another. The sniper changed positions again and got ready to shoot again.
The machine gunner in the bunker opened fire again and was killed by a sniper again.
At the same time, the special forces who had been lurking for a long time quickly fired their submachine guns and launched a sudden attack on the ground firepower in our trenches.
Due to the sudden and unexpected attack, coupled with the precise strikes and intensive firepower of the special forces, the soldiers in the trenches were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
