The Japanese searched for a long time but found no trace, so they walked away chattering.
Xizi and Xiaoyong lay down in the bushes until it was completely dark and they couldn't see their hands, then they quietly came out and moved to the north.
At dusk, Umekawa arrived at the location where the major was killed by a sniper. After checking the terrain and the wound on the major's head, he confirmed that it was caused by a sniper. Immediately, Umekawa received another report and learned that Ono's troops were marching.
An armored vehicle artillery lieutenant was killed by a sniper. Umekawa arrived without stopping and checked the wound, which was also caused by a sniper.
Based on various circumstances, Meichuan believed that this was probably done by Luo Yuesong's special operations team. They were all shot by Type 97 sniper rifles. The two sniper killing locations were three or four kilometers apart. The snipers were shooting in the forest on the top of the mountain.
, these should be two sniper teams. It seems that Luo Yuesong has broken his special team into parts, and Luo Yuesong's target is an imperial officer. The cunning Luo Yuesong may have seen that the imperial army's combat front is too long.
Not only are soldiers already stretched thin, but officers are even more in short supply.
Meichuan saw the situation clearly, but now he was scratching his head and thinking about how to deal with Luo Yuesong's special forces. These guys were hiding here and there like mice, and it seemed that they were distributed over a wide range. Although Ono and Murashita's brigade
During the march, a secret team was arranged in the mountains and forests on the march route, but after chasing the sniper team for so long, they still let them escape. It seems that finding and chasing is like finding a needle in a haystack, it is difficult.
It was completely dark. Meichuan looked up at the sky. There was no moon in the sky, but the stars were shining brightly all over the sky. Meichuan was thinking, this time more than 20,000 imperial warriors were dispatched, but the situation they encountered was still the same as before.
Likewise, the New Fourth Army was nowhere to be found despite the mobilization of troops. Those hateful New Fourth Army would disappear as soon as the fighting started. Meichuan knew that setting fire to a few villages and chasing down a few Chinese people would not be able to stop them.
Fundamentally eliminate the main force of the New Fourth Army.
Meichuan sat on his motorcycle, holding a sword in his hand, racking his brains to think of ways to deal with Luo Yuesong's special forces.
Ouyang and Tang Si were looking for sniper targets in the mountains and forests. Although they found Japs during the day, they did not find a suitable opportunity to snipe the officers. The cautious Tang Si decided to continue looking for opportunities at night.
Tang Si and Ouyang were in the mountains and forests, looking for prey under the cover of night.
Brother Chao was more cautious. Of course, more importantly, Brother Chao wanted to be the captain of Chao Brother in this sniper competition, so Brother Chao found a Japanese major during the day, but did not shoot. Brother Chao wanted to find a bigger one.
Although the night was so dark that they could not even see their own feet, Brother Chao and Brother San were still advancing quietly and slowly in the forest.
Yuesong felt comfortable. He knew that the Japs had an absolute advantage with their own weapons. The Japs did not like field battles. It is estimated that the Japs would not appear in Xiaohe Village at night, let alone the senior Japs officers.
, would never fumble around at night. Yuesong simply found a place in the grass with a big rock on his back, lay down there and slept. What does it mean to wait for work? Who said that snipers can't even blink their eyes? I, Luo Yuesong
I just want to have a good sleep while setting up an ambush. Yuesong thought as he fell asleep. After all, after working hard for two or three days and walking nervously through the mountains and forests, even a tough man can't do it.
I will be tired.
Meichuan scratched his head and thought, and his scalp was all over the floor. Haha, Meichuan patted his thigh and finally came up with a clever plan. Since the mice can't be found if they look for it, and they can't catch up with them, aren't you Chinese people?
Do you like setting up ambushes? I'm going to lure the enemy deep and set up a hidden ambush. It's a two-pronged approach to see if you guys will take the bait.
Meichuan did what he said. Meichuan led a special team, found a village, asked Ono for a team of men, and set up camp in the village.
Umekawa asked the soldiers of Ono's team to light four or five fires outside the existence, and asked the soldiers to keep the fires burning brightly, so that the soldiers could chat and have fun by the fires.
He found a room by himself, lit a gas lamp in the room, and the room was brightly lit. He also arranged a few soldiers to stand guard at the door. Then he asked a soldier to wear his military uniform and sit in front of the window, pretending to read a book.
.
Meichuan looked at his masterpiece and was so excited that he started to dance the Japanese dance.
"Kanazawa-kun!" Umekawa shouted outside the room.
A Japanese lieutenant came in carrying a sniper rifle. Kanazawa saluted Umekawa.
Umekawa pulled Kanazawa and said: "Kanazawa-kun, now divide the special team into four groups. You are in charge of one group, Akai-kun is in charge of the second group, Aoki-kun is in charge of the third group, and Eto-kun is in charge of the fourth group. They will ambush one group in the southeast and northwest of the village.
Group, if you find the New Fourth Army approaching quietly, don't worry, quietly, quietly surround them, and then wait for the opportunity to shoot and annihilate them!"
"Hi!" Kanazawa agreed and went out to arrange it.
Meichuan asked a soldier to make himself a pot of tea, and while drinking, he walked around the room and waited.
Ouyang and Tang Si walked around in the forest for a while. They felt a little tired and found a place to lie down and take a nap.
In the darkness, Tang Si suddenly noticed a flickering red light in the sky in the distance. Tang Si stood up, looked into the distance, and said to Ouyang: "Look there, there should be firelight."
Ouyang stood up, stared at it for a while, and said, "Let's go quietly."
Tang Si walked in front with a gun in hand, followed closely by Ouyang. After climbing three or four hills, he finally saw the light of the fire.
Tang Si and Ouyang stood on the top of the mountain and saw a village in the mountains below. There were several fires around the village, and people seemed to be dancing around the fire. Ouyang raised his sniper rifle, looked through the sniper scope, and said, "It's the Japanese."
.”
"It's so dark, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for sniping," Tang Si said.
"Haven't you heard? A bright cigarette butt in the dark will become the target of snipers. What's more, the idiot Japs also lit several fires. Look, they are burning brightly, and they are singing and dancing. They are dancing loudly.
God-like, just kill him." Ouyang said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Tang Si said.
"No, the distance is too far, we have to move closer to the front," Ouyang said.
"Let's go to the west. It's dark in the west. I guess the forest is dense, so we can retreat as soon as possible." Tang Si said, holding the gun and walking towards the west forest.
Ouyang held the sniper rifle and walked quickly, following Tang Si.
Just as Ouyang and Tang Si rushed towards the trap set by Meichuan, Brother Chao and Brother San also discovered the light of the fire. However, Brother Chao and Brother San were still seven or eight miles away from the small village, and they were sneaking towards the small village.
come over.
Meichuan felt extremely proud of his plan, but Meichuan also knew that those Chinese rats were best at sneaking away with just a tap, so Meichuan didn't even dare to sit down while drinking tea, but kept walking around the room to avoid himself.
He became the target of a sneak attack by a Chinese rat. Secondly, he thought while walking so that he could respond immediately when the rat was lured by the bait he set.
Ouyang and Tang Si walked a mile or two to the west. Ouyang took a step forward, grabbed Tang Si's clothes, and said softly: "That's enough, right here!"
Tang Si squatted down, holding a gun, and observed the surroundings vigilantly, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. Tang Si squatted there quietly, listening attentively, listening to any movement in the darkness.
.
Ouyang felt at ease with Tang Si's help. Ouyang found a good angle, half-crouched, and pressed the sniper rifle close to the tree trunk, moving the muzzle to look for the target.
In Ouyang's sight, he could only see two fires. There were Japanese soldiers jumping around beside the fires, but the firelight was flickering, and it was difficult to see clearly the military ranks. Ouyang was watching,
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a light on in the window of a house. The light was quite strong. It didn’t look like the clear oil lamps of ordinary fellow villagers. Ouyang thought to himself, if he could stay in the house overnight and the light was so strong, he must be a Japanese officer. Ouyang passed
He used a sniper scope to carefully observe the shadows in the room. There was a dark figure sitting there without moving. Is he reading a book? Or studying a map? Whatever the damn guy is doing, it's definitely not an orderly or something like that.
Here we go. Ouyang adjusted the sniper scope and estimated the wind speed and humidity at night. He felt that the shooting angle was not very good. Ouyang held the sniper rifle and walked more than ten steps to the left, and finally found a good
angle.
Tang Si squatted there and listened carefully to the movements around him. To be honest, Tang Si never heard anything, but Tang Si vaguely felt that something was waiting not far away. The more Tang Si thought this way,
The more he stayed still and listened patiently. Tang Si believed that whether it was a person or an animal, as long as there was something hiding nearby, there would always be movement.
Ouyang focused all his attention on the target who might be a Japanese officer who might be studying. Ouyang decided to leave him alone until he was killed. Ouyang placed the sniper rifle on a side branch and held his breath.
, eyes close to the sniper scope, holding the gun body with his left hand, shoulder against the butt of the gun, touching the trigger with his right hand, patiently brewing his shooting mood, and began to count down, three, two, one, Ouyang calmly pulled the trigger, "Bang."
"A gunshot pierced the quiet night sky. The gunshot was very clear, and there was a wonderful echo in the mountain.
Ouyang was not in a hurry. After shooting, he still maintained his original posture and observed the Japanese through the sniper scope. The Japanese tilted his head and fell down. Then the Japanese beside the fire started to stir.
.Then there were gunshots of "bang bang bang" and "ta da da". Ouyang suddenly felt his thigh flash and heat. He stretched out his hand to touch it. It was hot and sticky, and he was immersed in it.
In the joy of victory, Ouyang realized that his thigh had been shot. Ouyang crouched down and hid behind a tree trunk. Only then did he realize that the "click-click" gunshot was only more than 20 meters away from him. "
There's an ambush!" Ouyang reacted immediately.
In the darkness, a hand suddenly stretched out, "Let's go!" It was Tang Si who took his hand and said.
"My thighs are bruised," Ouyang said.
"Let's go!" Tang Si refused to say anything and pulled Ouyang forward. In the darkness, there was clearly the sound of several people walking through the forest and scraping branches.
"The Japanese are ambushing me. I'm injured. You retreat first and I'll cover you." Ouyang followed Tang Si lamely and said to Tang Si.
"Let's retreat while it's dark!" Tang Si said decisively.
"Da da da da" there was a gunshot from the front, it was a gunshot, and several branches in front of Tang Si and Ouyang were broken. Tang Si pulled Ouyang and fell to the ground.
Ouyang felt some pain in his shoulder. He stretched out his hand and touched it. It was still warm and sticky. Ouyang thought to himself, he might not be able to escape now. Ouyang handed the sniper rifle to Tang Si and said, "Platoon commander,
Grab your sniper rifle and retreat!"
"No, the Japs will be around soon. I can't leave you!" Tang Si said without any room for discussion.
"Tang Si, have you forgotten what the captain told us?" Ouyang took Tang Si's hand and said, "If we continue to fight, no one will survive. Here, give you the rifle and give me the gun!"
"Ouyang said and went to take the gun in Tang Si's hand.
Tang Si took the sniper rifle, said "Alas!", got up and ran towards the east.
Ouyang squatted on the ground and heard the footsteps of the Japanese. He took out a grenade, bit off the cover, bit the ring, and pulled hard. "Chi—" Ouyang threw the grenade violently. There were Japanese soldiers not far away.
After shouting, the grenade exploded with a bang.
Ouyang threw another grenade to the other side, but judging from the reaction of the Japanese after the explosion, the effect did not seem to be good. There was another grenade, and Ouyang felt that he should not throw it again.
Ouyang held the gun, lay on the ground, hid behind the tree trunk, and listened quietly to the Japanese.
Although the Japs in the Meichuan Special Forces Team did not undergo strict and systematic training together, they were selected from tens of thousands of Japs. All of them fought all the way from Northeast China to North China, from Shanghai to Nanjing, and from Nanjing to Wuhan.
It can be said that they have experienced hundreds of battles and have extremely rich battlefield experience. The two grenades only slightly injured the two Japanese soldiers. Moreover, these Japanese soldiers knew that the number of Chinese snipers was small and their weapons and equipment were advanced. They were not in a hurry to be poor.
They chased and fought fiercely, but approached quietly. When they heard someone running in the woods, they fired at them. The Japanese, armed with various types of rifles, slowly approached Ouyang.
Tang Si had a sniper rifle on his back and a shell gun in his hand. In order to avoid exposing his target in the forest, he did not dare to run fast. Instead, he walked lightly, tiptoeing and sideways through the forest.
Ouyang's crisp gunshot woke Luo Yuesong from his sweet dream. Yuesong lay in the grass and listened carefully. Then there was the sound of gunshots. Yuesong couldn't help but feel a little worried for his brother.
As soon as Brother Chao and Brother San reached the top of the mountain, they heard the sound of Ouyang's gunfire. Brother Chao thought to himself that some brothers from the special forces had taken action first. Then they heard the sound of gunshots, and they were in various styles.
***, Brother Chao is worried, what should he do? It's dark and sloppy, and the long-range support can't see the target at all. If the close-range support is surrounded by Japanese soldiers, it won't be a big loss.
"It's our brothers who have encountered the Japanese. Let's go!" The third brother twisted his guns and prepared to go to support.
"Wait a minute, Third Brother, wait and see!" Brother Chao said.
"What are you waiting for?" asked the third brother.
"Listen to the gunfire and see how many Japanese are chasing you." Brother Chao said, squatting there and listening attentively.
The third brother had no choice but to sit on the ground and wait.
