From the shadow reminding Kazuki Yamamoto with the sound of a sniper gun, to the Japanese stepping on landmines, to Kazuki Yamamoto giving the order to retreat, this series of events happened in the blink of an eye.
How could the soldiers who had been waiting for success hesitate? Two lurking semi-underground heavy machine gun fortifications took the lead and fired wildly at the Japanese at the cliff.
The heavy machine gun bullets carrying a huge force hit the cliff wall, and the earth and rocks flew and fell.
The sudden fire attack came suddenly and violently.
Two concealed semi-underground heavy machine gun fortifications directly formed cross fire, shooting wildly at the Japanese in the cliff area.
Five groups of Japanese soldiers had already climbed up the cliff, totaling thirty people. Six were killed by mines and two were killed by falls.
For the rest, even after receiving an emergency retreat order from Kazuki Yamamoto, even if it is a rapid descent, it will take a certain amount of time to get down the cliff.
The Independent Regiment took advantage of this gap to open fire again. The Japanese were in an embarrassing situation, like a gecko lying on a broken wall, completely under direct fire from heavy machine guns.
In the blink of an eye, five or six Japanese were hit. Whether they were beaten to death or not, even if they were bruised, as long as they fell from the rope, it would be enough to kill them from a height of more than ten meters.
Yamamoto's heart was bleeding at the bottom of the cliff. Even with the resources of the Empire of Japan, if he wanted to train more than 80 special forces members, he would have to work hard, and as a result, more than ten of them died in the blink of an eye.
What does an ancient poem say?
Die before leaving the army!
It was completely beyond Yamamoto Kazuki's expectations.
Yamamoto roared an order, "The firepower team advances left and right, knock out the enemy's heavy machine guns for me, and cover the rock climbing team's descent."
The two combat groups in the rear quickly covered a small team moving forward. The small team carried six 50mm Taisho ten-year-old grenade launchers. Yamamoto wanted to use the grenade launchers to knock out two heavy machine gun fortifications of the independent regiment.
But this kind of light grenade has a big drawback. The range is too close, and the effective range is even less than two hundred meters. It can only be effective after being pushed forward.
If the Japanese grenade can reach the heavy machine gun, it still has to advance more than two hundred meters.
The Japanese advanced rapidly, and Yamamoto, who was not far away, was a little confused. He knew that his team was rapidly approaching the heavy machine gun fortification. Why didn't the two heavy machine guns turn around and continued to shoot at the rock climbing group on the cliff?
Could it be...
Yamamoto's nightmare came true. Just when the Japanese grenade team split into two parts and advanced towards the heavy machine gun fortifications, trying to bring the heavy machine gun fortifications closer to the fire coverage of the grenade, they had already ambushed the heavy machine gun fortifications. The commando warriors on the front of the machine gun quickly attacked.
Treating others with their own medicine, several grenade launchers focused their fire, and the shells exploded directly in the area of the close special team team.
Light machine gun fire followed one after another, driving back the special forces Japs who wanted to get closer to the heavy machine gun fortifications.
At this moment, even the calm-minded Yamamoto couldn't help but show a hint of horror in his eyes.
The enemy's ambush deployment was so subtle that he seemed to have anticipated his countermeasures.
It's very troublesome to encounter such an opponent. Everything seems to be expected by the opponent, and he is suppressed at every turn.
Until the familiar sound of special gunshots rang out.
Although it was inconspicuous among the noisy and chaotic gunshots, Yamamoto still heard it, and he felt a little more confident in his heart - Shadow took action.
There was an inconspicuous sound of gunfire, but the heavy machine gun fire from the right wing of the independent regiment came to an abrupt end.
A mournful voice shouted, "Sweet potato, sweet potato—"
"Damn it, there are Japanese snipers on the hills to the southwest, everyone, be careful!"
After a moment, the heavy machine gun fire from the right wing continued. Even if there were Japs behind them, the soldiers would never give up the fire attack on the Japs at the bottom of the cliff.
Yangcun Village Head.
The moment the explosion sounded at the top of the cliff, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Captain, you are really right, there are indeed Japs!"
What followed was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.
Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Second Battalion Commander, take action! Zhuzi, pull up all the artillery in the artillery platoon and beat these sons of bitches severely. Don't spare any shells or anything like that. Let me release them." If we start fighting, even half a Japanese will not be spared!"
"yes!"
Shen Quan responded. After leaving some teams of the second battalion to assist the artillery platoon in the operation, they quickly divided into two parts. Under the leadership of the members of the assault team, they quickly circled around from both sides of the cliff and prepared to cut off the retreat of the Yamamoto special forces.
At the same time, the 1st and 3rd battalions stationed in other directions in Yangcun also heard gunshots. After leaving enough troops to continue garrisoning, the 1st and 3rd battalion commanders led their elites to support the cliff.
Behind a gentle slope on the right side of the cliff, commando deputy captain Ye Min, who was buried in the grass, slowly raised his head and looked at the hilltop where the Japanese with black guns were located.
Ye Min was a little shocked. The leader's guess was good. Sure enough, there was a Japanese sniper.
The opponent's marksmanship was indeed quite powerful. Ye Min initially judged that the place where the Japanese fired was at least three to four hundred meters away from the heavy machine gun fortifications.
Can actually kill sweet potatoes with one shot.
Thinking of the previous cry of sorrow, Ye Min felt a little heavy. Di Gua was a member of the commando fire team, and everyone was as close as brothers.
I don’t know what the current situation is like. If he died in the hands of this Japanese sniper, how could Ye Min have the nerve to go back to see the leader if he didn’t kill this Japanese sniper today?
After being angry, Ye Min was a little shocked. The gun in the Japs hand was really weird. The sound was too small, like a slap in the face, and the smoke rising from the muzzle could not even be seen.
Coupled with the cunning nature of this Japs, he seemed to immediately move his shooting position after firing a shot, so that Ye Min did not capture the opponent's hiding place.
It must be the sniper rifle the regiment leader mentioned!
Ye Min secretly thought, you stupid little devil, I will take your life, and I will also take the sniper rifle in your hand.
On the canopy of trees not far away.
The leader of the investigation team, Mu Mu, was still lying motionless, with anger, surprise, and self-blame in his eyes.
The lone Japanese sniper seemed to be hanging far behind the special agent team, but he passed by the area in front of him without noticing it.
Not only him, the other two members of the investigation team also failed to notice the Japanese sniper.
If the Japanese sniper could be killed with one shot early, Digua wouldn't be able to...
Thinking of this, Mu Mu, who was somewhat remorseful, slowly raised the muzzle of the Type 38 rifle in his hand. He swore that if he could find the location of the Japanese sniper, he would kill this bastard with his own hands.
The view from the canopy he was in was excellent, and he believed that as long as he continued to wait, no matter how powerful the Japanese sniper was, he would sooner or later reveal his flaws.
... Shadow lay quietly. He seemed to be aware of the crisis, so even though Yamamoto Kazuki was in a critical situation, he only fired a shot temporarily, and then quickly moved the sniper location.
To be precise, it was two shots. The first shot was to remind Yamamoto Kazuki.
For top snipers, firing more than two shots at the same sniper spot is no different than seeking death.
Even when facing opponents who may not even have a clear idea of what a sniper is, Shadow is still overly cautious.
He was dormant, waiting for the next opportunity to take action.
Ye Min and Wang Xikui were lurking in the dark, and even the wood on the tree trunks gritted their teeth and quietly waited for the shadow to take action again...
