Yuesong quickly lowered his head, put away the rifle, slowly crawled back, crawled for a while, stood up and changed his position.
The Japanese commander only heard two gunshots, and the machine gun fired for a while, but there was no return fire. He thought to himself that it was just an individual soldier with insufficient marksmanship who was harassing him, otherwise why would both shots have hit the mules and horses.
It was still important to transport ammunition, so he commanded the troops to move forward.
Cao Gen'er and Peilin, who were hiding in the woods, now knew why the captain had arranged for them to hide in the depths of the woods. Each of them captured a horse carrying several boxes on its back.
"Is this the end? Why didn't you hear the captain's gunshot?" Cao Gen'er said to Peilin.
"Don't worry about it for now. Tie the horses up. It's not like you don't know the captain. He has many evil ideas. If two more horses come over, we will have to catch them," Peilin said.
"Yeah, that's right."
The two found a place with lush trees, hid the horse in it, tied it to a tree, tied the reins firmly, and continued to wait.
Yuesong slowly showed his head, and when he saw the Japanese soldiers continuing to march, he thought that it was time to shoot the twelfth horse this time, otherwise the smoke would not fall.
Yuesong aimed at the twelfth horse, and there was a gunshot. Unexpectedly this time, the horse stepped on the stone and tilted its body. What was even more unexpected was that the horse's tail just whipped up.
As for the fly, the bullet hit the horse's tail. The horse was still startled and ran away, and actually ran into the woods on the east bank.
However, the Japanese commander was annoyed and simply stopped the team and directed the rifles and machine guns to shoot at Yuesong. Not only that, he also arranged for the small steel cannon to fire several shells in a row, specifically to explode
The hilltop where Yuesong is located.
"Holy shit, those bastards are immoral. They actually used small steel cannons to blast individual soldiers." Yuesong cursed and began to listen to the sound of the cannonballs, running in curves to avoid the Japanese bombings.
"It's time to fire. The Japanese are all using small steel cannons. If the captain is blown up, are you responsible?" Hanba finally got a chance to shoot with the main force, and he was busy urging Huineng.
"Hit!" Huineng shouted, and the machine gun started firing at the Japanese soldiers.
"Beep, beep, beep!" It turned out that the rate of fire of the Johnson machine gun was also pretty good. Hanba hugged the butt of the gun tightly and held on to the trigger. The two machine guns suddenly fired, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
Douzi and the other Garands also started fighting, and for a while it was a blast of gunfire.
The Japanese commander did not expect that there was a group of troops ambushing on the nearby river bank. They were quite energetic. In order to save the baggage, he quickly ordered the team to fight back and retreat at the same time. He did not bother to care about the poor shooters on the hilltop.
Yuesong heard Huineng and the others opening fire. He stopped and raised his sniper rifle. Hey, there is another donkey. It’s time for the tooth-beating ceremony. Yuesong aimed at the donkey’s head and shot the donkey to death.
With a "plop", he fell heavily to the ground.
"Cease fire." Hui Neng saw the Japs beginning to retreat quickly. In order to save bullets, he quickly ordered his brothers to cease fire.
"Oops, I just fired a magazine." Hanba screamed anxiously while he was reloading the magazine. He hadn't had enough of shooting yet.
At this moment, Cao Gen'er and Peilin, who were hiding deep in the forest, caught another group of horses. They tied the horses to the tree with a smile, and were still waiting for another group of frightened horses to run into the forest.
