... At this moment, Shimada did not expect to completely eliminate this mysterious Eighth Route Army that suddenly attacked.
He knew very well that it was not easy to eliminate the enemies hiding in the dark, especially since this place was the headquarters and lair of the Eighth Route Army. After the exchange of fire between the two sides, he and his party were entangled by the Eighth Route Army troops, and his entire special airborne unit was It is possible to fall into the encirclement of the main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.
If that happens, the empire's airborne troops will be doomed.
Right now, for Shimada, the most urgent thing is how to move the radio station in the cave, and then get rid of the pursuit of this Eighth Route Army unit that may be hiding in the dark.
To continue to carry out the final combat mission of raiding the Eighth Route Army Arsenal and the General Headquarters.
In more than an hour, Shimada, who had exhausted his patience, sent out an action team again. A team of about fourteen or fifteen people was the first to be exposed and moved towards the cave.
In an attempt to "rescue" the radio station hidden in the cave.
It was still quiet all around.
Shimada even comforted himself in his heart.
Maybe I was too nervous.
Perhaps there are no Eighth Route Army troops lurking around here.
But he knew very well that this was just a subconscious fluke.
Judging from the current situation, it is almost an established fact that the Communications Department was attacked by a mysterious force of the Eighth Route Army.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way that Nakamura Shaozuo and the Imperial warriors guarding the Communications Department would disappear due to dereliction of duty.
After a while.
Seven or eight little devils hurriedly carried the very heavy radio out of the entrance of the cave.
The little Japs who couldn't get their hands on were holding the Bai-type submachine guns hanging on their chests and observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Not far away, Shimada Shozo, who was hiding in the dark, also arranged for many snipers in the team, holding Japanese-style Type 99 sniper rifles, and vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding signs.
Shimada Shozo's entire string was tense.
With the concerted efforts of several Japanese soldiers, the bulky radio began to gradually move outward.
The terrain was relatively gentle at first, a relatively raised flat land near the cave, and then there was a relatively steep downhill slope.
Just when the entire radio station reaches the edge area of the bottom.
Wave--
The sound was not too loud, just like someone slapped in the woods far away.
Compared with regular gunshots, such sounds were almost negligible, but after suddenly breaking the dead silence around them, they were faintly transmitted.
Due to the distance gap between the two parties.
Bullets fly and light travels faster than sound.
In the sight of Shimada Shozo's telescope, an imperial soldier who was carrying a radio shuddered and suddenly fell down.
Then came the sound that sounded like a slap in the face.
The angle of the opponent's sniper attack was very tricky, and the target selection seemed to have been calculated in advance. The Japanese soldier who was killed was carrying the radio station and was on the outer edge, bearing more weight, the most important position.
As the Japs were knocked down by the snipers and the strength to carry the radio disappeared, the remaining Japs suddenly felt the pressure on their hands increase.
Because he almost lost his balance, the entire radio station almost fell to the ground.
"The enemy attack is a sniper from the Eighth Route Army. Hurry, take cover immediately!"
The captain, who directed a group of little devils to carry the radio, quickly ordered.
The little devils who were carrying the radio quickly put it down, then crawled on the ground, avoiding the direction of the bullets, and looking for cover.
There was also a low groan of pain coming from the ground.
The little devil who was knocked down was only shot through the abdomen, and the bullet did not hurt any vital parts. Apart from bleeding and being severely injured, he would not die immediately.
Even without anyone bandaging and treating him, the injured little devil could still live for a long time.
"Asshole, this damn eighth-way sniper is deliberately hurting us!"
The Japanese captain cursed angrily, lying on the ground in a rather ugly posture, not daring to raise his head at all.
At this time, the area they were in was very unfavorable for them. The surrounding area was bare, and the terrain was relatively uplifted, while the surrounding woods were low-lying. From their angle, if they showed up slightly, they would be exposed to the enemy. In the sight of the Eighth Route Army snipers.
The opponent's Eighth Route Army obviously took advantage of the leafy woods to lurk among them.
The enemy is in the dark and the Japanese army is in the light.
The opponent's sniper rifle seems to be far more advanced than the Japanese Type 99 and Type 97 sniper rifles.
Just from the sound of a gunshot just now, even the most experienced Japanese captain could not accurately determine the specific location where the Eighth Route Army sniper was hiding.
Maszo Shimada, who was in the other direction and farther away, almost didn't hear the sound of the sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, but only saw his soldiers being sniped.
This scene also completely dispelled his last chance of luck.
As expected, a special operations unit of the Eighth Route Army was ambushed nearby.
...Ye Min was hiding behind the tree trunk. He turned slightly sideways, and with his sniper sight through a few sparse leaves, he could clearly see the situation in the cave entrance not far away.
The shot just now was taken by him himself.
Just as the Japanese captain speculated, Ye Min deliberately injured the little Japanese instead of killing him directly.
A wounded soldier is far more troublesome to the Japanese than a dead team member.
Surround the corpse and call for help.
This is a classic special operations secret sniping method.
Although it is a bit cruel and inhumane.
But what kind of humanity can a little devil like a beast have?
The trunk of the lurking ancient tree was thick and tall. Under the trunk where Ye Min was hiding, there was another trunk that stretched out. That was another sniper who also served as Ye Min's observer.
"Vice-Team, all the Japs are down, it's not easy for us to attack right now!"
he whispered.
Ye Min replied: "It's just a waste of time. The competition is who is more patient. Now this little devil has been completely locked in the cave area by us."
The bait we have on hand to contain the Japs is already more sufficient. In addition to the radio station, we have also added these dozen little Japs. I want to see what happens to the remaining Japs. "
"By the way, Erhu, has the news spread?"
"Don't worry, deputy team, everything is ready. We have three artillery groups nearby and can carry out fire reinforcements at any time according to the coordinates we provided.
In addition, the chief of staff has also arranged several lines of encirclement and suppression troops to gradually advance from all directions. After our battle begins, even if we cannot kill all the small Japanese troops in front of us.
The subsequent closing of the net can catch them all, and no one can escape. "
Ye Min nodded and added: "Try to capture as many people as possible alive. We have guaranteed it to the Chief of Staff!"
"Eh!"
…
"idiot!"
Shimada Shozo's expression turned ugly at the moment. This hidden cat was really cunning. He only attacked in secret and never attacked from the front.
Not to mention that he failed to successfully transfer the radio station, an action team even moved in and was completely covered by the other party's firepower.
This is not the way to go.
As time went by, he worried that his situation would become even worse.
Eighth Route Army troops may appear from all directions at any time.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
what to do?
Shimada's right hand clenched his fist tightly. He also wanted to know what to do?
The current situation is very bad. The enemy's Eighth Route Army is lurking in the dark. Judging from the attack just now, it seems that the commander on the opposite side is an extremely cautious and cunning guy, which makes people grit their teeth.
He deliberately hid in secret and did not take action directly. He was like an old cat who was sure of victory, teasing the mouse mercilessly.
It was impossible to determine where the enemy Eighth Route Army was hiding, and the battle was impossible to proceed.
After thinking for a moment, Shimada gritted his teeth.
It seems that he can't take this radio station with him today.
"...But it's obvious that the Eighth Route Army did not blow up our radio station, perhaps because they wanted to use it as bait. Or perhaps, they are also reluctant to part with such a radio station.
We can only think of a solution later! "
"The second group, immediately release smoke bombs, and first cover the first group's evacuation!"
"Hi!"
After the order was issued, looking at the soldiers secretly setting up grenade launchers and preparing smoke grenades, Shimada Shozo suddenly had a trace of viciousness on his lips, and then ordered:
"Three groups, prepare incendiary bombs. Directly north, throw them at me hard!"
"Sir, will the Eighth Route Army hide in that area?"
Shimada sneered: "Who knows? Maybe it's here, maybe it's not here. It's just throwing incendiary bombs over to buy us some time to evacuate."
"Hi!"
The Japs moved very quickly. First, they quickly threw several smoke bombs into the cave area, and then, a considerable number of incendiary bombs were thrown towards the woods due north, immediately reflecting patches of fire.
Ye Min, who was hiding behind a tree trunk in the distance, looked at the battle and couldn't help but cursed:
"This little son of a bitch, this trick is really poisonous! Fortunately, there is still a lot of snow after the winter, otherwise it will definitely cause a fire, grandma."
"Erhu, type the news to me immediately. After the Japanese smoke has completely dissipated, throw our ether shells over.
I want to see whether our ether shells are more powerful or his little devil's smoke bombs. "
"yes!"
...The fire in the woods to the north is still swaying. As Ye Min said, fortunately it snowed a few times in winter. The incendiary bombs of the Japanese quickly ignited only some of the snow that had fallen away, which was relatively dry and some were dead. trees.
Some evergreen trees and fires were gradually cut down as they passed through the snow on the ground.
The fire didn't spread very fast. Maybe it would be completely extinguished because of the snow on the ground without the need for the Eighth Route Army to take action.
The smoke bombs thrown by the little devil at the entrance of the cave quickly released smoke, completely covering the entire higher open area.
The gunners arranged by Ye Min fired a certain number of ether shells at the same time and threw them with the help of smoke cover.
These ether shells, newly developed by a team's arsenal, were fired from 60 mortars and landed very accurately with the help of the mortar's sight.
After landing, the ether gas immediately emitted is colorless and odorless. Due to its strong concentration, it will not be exposed unless there is strong wind.
Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
Otherwise, the ether gas will not dissipate within a short period of time within a surrounding area of seven or eight meters.
To the Japs, the only thing perceptible was the trace of the ether shell fired, which was perfectly covered by the smoke at this moment.
But said that the inside of the smoke at this time.
After the smoke completely dissipated, the Japanese captain inside gave the order: "Retreat!"
With that said, he was the first to stand up, but as soon as he stood up, something banged around him, as if it hit the ground.
This sudden sound was like a bolt from the blue to these Japanese soldiers.
The captain hurriedly shouted: "Lie down!"
He was frightened in his heart, thinking that the Eighth Route Army was secretly taking action.
The next moment, the little devils who had just stood up quickly fell to the ground and covered their heads with their arms.
After a few seconds, there was no movement, and there was no expected explosion.
"Nani?"
The Japanese Captain, who was confused about the situation, had no time to think too much. He got up again, yelled and prepared to withdraw in the direction of Shimada Masami and his party.
But before he took a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy and even had difficulty breathing. He pinched his neck with both hands, which was extremely painful.
He took a few more staggering steps and then fell to the ground.
At the same time as he fell to the ground, a series of popping sounds could be heard around him.
asshole……
Until he fell into unconsciousness, he still didn't understand what happened.
On the other side, the old Japanese soldier Shimada lurking in the woods was confused. The smoke bombs had almost dissipated, and the incendiary bombs had also been thrown.
Why haven't we seen the first action team evacuate after waiting for so long?
The poor little devil probably didn't know that once ether makes people faint, they have to sleep for several hours at least.
How could you wake up so easily?
Most of the little devils who were guarding the radio station in the cave have not yet woken up after being knocked unconscious by ether!
However, one of them, Shaozuo, was being interrogated by the soldiers after being poured with cold water.
The little Japs were projecting smoke bombs and incendiary bombs. Ye Min, who was observing in secret, immediately calculated the approximate area where the Japs were based through the trajectories of the artillery shells launched by the Japs.
He immediately turned around and told Erhu the specific coordinates and approximate area.
"Notify the artillery group immediately and deploy fire coverage. Be quick! Otherwise, this cunning mouse should run away!"
"yes!"
Boom——
A considerable number of artillery shells pierced the sky from three directions and were projected, but the area they finally landed in was surprisingly consistent, the area where Shimada Masami and his Japanese airborne troops were hiding.
Of course, the landing point is not so precise, it is just a rough coverage of firepower.
This sudden artillery bombardment startled Shimada Shozo, and he realized that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have launched a fire blockade here.
He no longer dared to hesitate, and had no time to wait for the first action team to rush out of the smoke, so he quickly issued the order to evacuate.
The entire area was covered with random firepower, quickly causing casualties to Shimada's airborne troops.
A few unlucky members were killed on the spot.
Shimada, whose heart was bleeding but ignored his grief, quickly led the team and rushed out of the enemy's Eighth Route Army's fire coverage area.
In the distance, Ye Min was looking through binoculars, although he couldn't see the specific situation because of the cover of the woods.
Seeing that the area was covered with firepower, he pictured the Japs fleeing in all directions:
"Under the firepower, the rats will definitely flee!"
"Next, we just need to close the net and catch all the mice!"
The Japanese finally used planes to airborne fire-fighting paratroopers, and all the fire-fighting paratroopers were captured, and the countdown has begun.
Now, what the commandos have to do is to put on masks and capture alive the dozen or so little devils who were stunned by the ether at the entrance of the cave.
Now, we are one step closer to capturing the entire airborne force of Japs alive...
