When Chaoge and Xizi advanced more than two miles southwest in the forest, they discovered that the Japanese had changed direction and were heading northwest. However, perhaps because Yoshida was too cautious, they advanced very slowly.
"Brother Chao, the devil has changed direction and needs to be beaten," Xizi said.
"Shh." Brother Chao didn't say anything, he just asked Xizi to stop talking. He was a senior member of the special operations team, and Xizi didn't need to remind him about this.
Brother Chao was holding a sniper rifle, and he also discovered that the Japanese were not moving forward, but moving laterally. The cross-section of the enemy's body when moving laterally was sideways, and the area was smaller. Coupled with the obstruction of trees that appeared constantly, the Japanese were hit hard.
The possibility of killing has become smaller, and the possibility of killing is even smaller, but these are not the key now. Attracting the attention of the Japanese and successfully turning the Japanese in the correct direction we want is the goal.
Brother Chao saw two Japs disappearing and appearing in the forest. The Japs were very grateful to the Chinese snipers. Although it was not easy to kill directly in the forest, the Japs paid great attention to the trees when advancing.
He plays a protective role and never stays in a place where his position is completely exposed.
Brother Chao wanted to find an opportunity to shoot. For a sniper, it seems very unaccustomed to shoot casually without being sure. Brother Chao moved the muzzle of the gun forward a large distance, increasing the amount of advance.
Then he aimed directly at the spot between two coconut trees ten meters away after the first Japanese soldier appeared. Then he pulled the bolt, held the butt of the gun against his shoulder, and let the muzzle of the gun move slightly up and down with his breathing.
As expected, a Japanese figure flashed between two coconut trees. Brother Chao's tense arm fired the bullet after a slight break.
The bullet flew past with a "swish", and it was less than 80 meters away. The bullet arrived as soon as it was mentioned.
When the Japanese heard the gunshot, he didn't think at all, nor did he keep moving forward. Instead, he stopped where he was and squatted down quickly.
The bullet flew past the Japs eyes and hit the main trunk of a hibiscus tree three meters away with a "dong" sound.
All the Japs immediately stopped and hid behind the tree trunks. In the quiet forest, a bullet suddenly came from such a close distance, allowing the Japs to easily determine the direction of the enemy who fired the bullet.
Yoshida drew his katana, turned around, pointed due east, and shouted: "Shoot."
"Bah, bah, bah", he saw that the Japanese who did not see the enemy were all shooting in that direction into the woods. The machine gunner did not lie down on the ground, but directly leaned the machine gun against the tree trunk, waiting for the enemy's reaction.
After shooting a shot, a bullet was wasted. The amount of advance was too large, or the Japs had been sniped too much and became extremely sensitive. In short, the sniping was not completed, and the sniping damage was useless. I felt unhappy, but I still wanted to do it first.
Protect yourself first.
Brother Chao raised his sniper rifle and hid behind the tree trunk with the gun and his men, letting the enemy's bullets hit the branches with a "dong-dong" sound.
Brother Chao glanced at Xizi. Xizi had seen this kind of scene many times. Thompson, who was so far away from him, couldn't take advantage at all. Xizi had his back to the Japanese, guns in both hands, and waited leisurely.
"Go forward." Yoshida was really attracted by the sound of gunfire, but this time, Yoshida ordered six soldiers to cover each other and cross forward. The machine gunners and more soldiers behind were holding rifles and stared at the passers-by without even blinking.
Where the gunfire comes.
"Xizi, the Japs are no longer shooting randomly, please be careful not to expose yourself easily." After Brother Chao finished speaking, he clicked a bullet.
"Got it." After Xizi said that, without exposing the trunk of the tree or looking at the enemy's position, he directly stretched out the Thompson assault rifle, fired the machine gun with a "dududu" sound, and immediately withdrew his arm.
Sure enough, the ones who shot at Xizi were not the Japanese who were charging forward, but the group of Japanese who were covering behind.
"Click, click, click." Even the machine guns fired in short bursts, let alone the rifles. The Japanese who didn't see anyone didn't even fire their guns.
"Xizi, prepare to retreat. These guys are difficult to deal with. Don't get entangled with them." After Brother Chao said this, he raised his hand and fired without aiming at all. After shooting, he immediately retreated.
When Xizi saw Brother Chao shooting, he immediately retreated to the next cover point and prepared for cover.
Yoshida judged from the sound of gunshots that the Chinese were only a handful, so he was not in a hurry, nor did he dare to be in a hurry. He directed his soldiers to chase slowly and attack quietly.
"Captain, listen to the gunfire, the Japs are following Brother Chao," Lei Hang said.
"No hurry, let's have a cigarette before we talk." Luo Yuesong, an old smoker, tore off half of his cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and waited calmly for the Japanese to come.
