"Kaname...what's the situation? Please reply when you receive it."
On a hillside covered with low bushes, Long Wenwen was holding a walkie-talkie, trying to contact Kaname and his team who went to investigate the situation.
The ghillie suits they wore were very stuffy and airtight, but it also gave them the best concealment. As long as they lay on the ground and didn't move, even if the little devils walked up to them, they might not be able to spot them.
Lashio, which originally became the largest city in northern Myanmar under the rule of the British, is now no longer prosperous.
It can be seen through the telescope that this place is high in the south and low in the north, and most of the buildings stand on the mountain. The old city was basically bombed by the Japanese army, and apart from a mess of wreckage, only the charred broken walls and rotten wood were left.
There is a train station at the foot of the mountain. Several military trains are parked quietly on the platform. The surroundings are heavily guarded. You can tell with your toes that there must be a lot of military supplies there.
At this time... Kaname's reply finally came from the walkie-talkie: "Zi... reported that there are two squadrons of troops here at the train station, three infantry cannons, and no less than ten light and heavy machine guns... Zi... there are probably more in the barracks. A squadron.”
"Copy that, stay hidden and continue to observe."
After saying this, Long Wenwen put away his walkie-talkie and stared down with his keen eyes. If we also count the little Japs on the outer positions, the Lashio defenders probably had a strengthened brigade.
This battle is not going to be easy...
Long Wenwen made a gesture, and the two "grasses" next to him suddenly trembled, and followed his footsteps and quietly retreated into the woods behind him.
The backpack-type high-power radio station in the team was set up on the back slope of the mountain. At this time, the correspondent was busy working hard.
"How are you? Have you contacted them?" Long Wenwen hurriedly asked.
"Contact has been made. The main force of the regiment is less than 15 kilometers away from here. Deputy Commander Meng replied that the advance battalion of the army has slowly moved closer. They are just afraid of being discovered by the Japanese scouts and do not dare to move too far forward. They are currently in Lashio It’s 3 kilometers away in the southwest.”
The communications soldier pointed at the map to report the situation. Long Wenwen's eyes lit up and he looked where he pointed. Isn't that direction just close to Lashio Station? And the railway tracks happen to extend southwest.
"Who is leading this vanguard battalion? Can we contact them?" Long Wenwen asked hurriedly.
"The leader is Battalion Commander Deng. I will contact them immediately."
It turns out it's not spicy at all. This kid is pretty smart and should be fine.
Long Wenwen smiled mysteriously and then said: "After getting in touch, tell them that they can send skirmishers to search in the northeast direction. If they find the railway line, let the troops ambush on both sides of the track and wait for my instructions."
"clear."
"Also, ask Meng Fannie to lead the main force closer here as soon as possible. Try to stay hidden. If you are discovered, don't hold back and fight hard."
"yes!"
The signal soldier agreed, immediately wrote down the code of the order on paper, and began to send the telegram.
After arranging everything, Long Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but murmured: "Grandma, I was spoiled by Shen Zuo before, but now I'm really not used to it when I go back to my old job."
In the past, in western Yunnan, if he touched the enemy, he would just shout on the walkie-talkie: Fatty, let's fire!
It doesn't make sense at all, so I can't help but give a firepower first to cover it up before talking about anything else.
It's a pity, now that I'm alone and deep in the game, I need to keep my voice low, not to mention heavy fire support, for fear of being discovered.
Now that the artillery regiment is deployed near Nankan, it's not that they don't want the heavy artillery to move with it, but the 4.5-ton big guy is really inconvenient to move.
What's more, the road to Lashio is mostly mountainous and forested, and the movement is slow and easy to be ambushed by the enemy. By the time they arrive in Lashio, the battle will probably be over, which does not meet the tactical requirements.
There was only one artillery battalion belonging to the regiment that went with the engineering regiment, which was mainly used for defense after taking Lashio, which could be regarded as making up for their lack of heavy firepower.
But after all, it is really difficult to walk through the forests of Shan State in Myanmar. At the same time, the three teams starting from Wanding, the 200 Division fell at the back early. Frequent mechanical failures caused them to walk for two days and two nights before marching to the entire Half the way.
If the Engineer Corps hadn't been resigned to help them "solve problems", it would be estimated that the 200 Division would still be trapped in the middle of the road unable to move.
In comparison, a regiment traveled nearly 200 kilometers in two days and two nights using only their feet. It must be said that this was like a miracle, and it would be difficult for any other regiment of the Third Division to achieve it.
Although the soldiers were tired, they were still gritting their teeth and persevering under the supervision of their respective commanders, because they were the epitome of the earliest Sichuan Legion, an iron-blooded division that had fought countless tough battles, and that indomitable spirit will always be implemented in every soldier. …
Time passed by minute by second, and the sun was about to set, but the surroundings of the Lashio Army Camp were surprisingly quiet.
It's dinner time for the Japanese, and several changing teams can finally relax and gather together with their lunch boxes, enjoying the most relaxing moment of the day.
But what they didn't know was that every move in the camp was visible to Long Wenwen and others who were hiding in the dark.
Now there is only one squadron left in the station, and the rest have retreated to the barracks to eat and rest.
There were also food soldiers on the outer positions delivering meals. Most of the little devils were sitting on the ground eating, and only a few patrols and sentries were still sticking to their posts.
The rotation time of the Japanese is very short. After these few dozen minutes, they may return to their respective positions. This should be the best time!
Long Wenwen, who was crawling on the hillside, quietly took out his walkie-talkie, turned on the same frequency button and said in a deep voice: "Communication team, contact the vanguard battalion immediately and ask them to immediately launch an attack along the railway line towards the station. Each team... start taking action!"
…
"Hehe, these little devils' reactions are pretty quick."
Zhang Liu lay on the ground and sneered again and again. The camouflage ghillie suit covered his whole body, making him seem to blend in with the surrounding environment.
The hillside he was on was just to the north of the Little Jaap Army Camp. From here, he had a commanding view, and the field of vision was extremely wide.
"You brat, hold your hand a little more steady, but don't let me lose the chain. Do you hear me?"
"Don't worry, master, just take a look..." After a while, Yang Danzi's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
In order to maximize the combat efficiency of the Falcon team, Liao Mingyu equipped everyone with scr-536 walkie-talkies. Although this communication equipment, which weighs only 2 kilograms in total, is not lightweight, it is quite heavy compared to backpack radios that weigh dozens of kilograms. It’s compact.
Yang Danzi, like Zhang Liu, was lying in ambush on the other side of the hillside wearing a ghillie suit. Their positions formed a triangle of mutual checks and balances with the Japanese below.
"...The left wing pays attention to support and press forward!"
"Hayaku! Don't stop!"
Most of the Japanese soldiers from the two squadrons below ran out. The officers and commanders were still shouting instructions in the middle of the team. More than two hundred little Japanese soldiers quickly surrounded the explosion point.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu quickly pulled the bolt of the gun and pushed a yellow bullet into the chamber. The figure of one of the majors suddenly appeared in his scope.
Through the newly equipped eight-fold lens, a distance of more than 500 meters seemed as close as a foot, and one could even see clearly the trembling beard on the little devil's mouth.
Without any hesitation, his finger slowly placed on the trigger...
"Bang!"
The dull gunfire of kar98k penetrated the air and echoed across the land. The Japanese major was half-brained by the 7.92 bullet. His brain burst out in an instant and he fell straight back.
"hidden!"
"It's a sniper!"
The surrounding Japanese soldiers were in chaos. In panic, they immediately crouched on the spot and looked around for the direction of shooting with their guns raised.
"Bang!"
The gunfire rang out again, and the bullet penetrated the chest of the first Japanese soldier. The rolling bullet shot into the stomach of the other Japanese soldier again. In an instant, both little Japanese fell into a pool of blood.
"ah!!"
The kid who was shot in the stomach was not dead yet, but the power of the bullet that rolled after passing through the body was quite terrifying. It opened a big hole in his stomach. The severe pain made him cry out loudly.
The companion rushed over to cover the wound, but blood and intestines were leaking out, and there was no time to stuff it back. The horrific scene made people shudder.
"Bang!" The fatal gunfire came again, and the Japanese soldier who stepped forward to rescue fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Baga! Everyone hide!"
"Find his location quickly!"
The Japanese soldiers were completely panicked now. In panic, they could only shoot randomly in all directions, but this could not do anything to Zhang Liu on the hillside.
Because of the long distance, even if the little devil fired three shots, he still could not determine the specific location. He could only roughly know that the bullets came from the hillside to the north.
"Tadadera, Jiro, take your team to the mountain and find that sniper!"
Another Japanese major decided that he could not just sit back and wait for death, and immediately ordered his men to rush towards the hillside, but no one knew that Zhang Liu had already pointed his gun at him...
The major drew out his samurai sword and loudly encouraged the surrounding soldiers: "Don't be afraid, there are not many enemies. They only dare to fire cold guns in the dark, show your courage..."
Bang! ...Bang!
With a pop, the major's head was like an exploding watermelon, with red and white filth splashing everywhere.
This time, two shots were fired. In addition to the major, a commander Cao not far away also had his head exploded.
Time seemed to stop instantly, and the little devils around him widened their eyes in fear.
Five guns and six people...the other party staged a textbook scene for them. An unprecedented sense of fear gradually took over their minds.
The little Jaap couldn't hold it in any longer, and several machine gunners immediately fired wildly at the hillside. The rest of the men followed suit without explanation, and even Japanese soldiers set up grenade launchers.
Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and raindrops of bullets swept towards the hillside where Zhang Liu was. The projectiles made a popping sound in the woods, and the grenades exploded into pieces of charred soil...
The little Japanese tried to suppress it with firepower and then let the infantry charge to find the sniper.
Zhang Liu, who was within the range of the fire strike, did not panic, because it was useless to panic now, the shells would not avoid you just because you were afraid.
Although there were artillery fire all around, it was still relatively far away from his position. After all, the Japanese did not know his specific location. As long as he was not exposed, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Zhang Liu quickly loaded the ammunition and looked for the target again through the scope. The distance of five to six hundred meters was his stage. When the trigger was pulled, a little Japs must have fallen to the ground and died.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just when the Japanese were fighting fiercely, several more gunshots suddenly came from behind them, and bullets were shot into the bodies of several little Japs from behind, which made them even more frightened as they were already nervous.
"There are snipers over there!"
"Kusu... spread out, spread out quickly!"
…
"Hey, let's eat your grandpa's eight-hit combo!"
"Ding..." With a crisp clip-throwing sound, Yangdanzi quickly pressed the new single clip into the gun. The Garand equipped with a 6x scope now became a weapon in his hand.
Unlike Zhang Liu, Yangdanzi didn't like to aim at the head. He was more willing to hit the enemy's chest as long as the accuracy was guaranteed. As long as the 7.62 full-power bullet hit the torso, he would basically not die, and he would never be able to get up again.
The high rate of fire of the Garand in his hand gave him great confidence. In terms of killing efficiency, Yangdanzi was higher than Zhang Liu. Maybe the accuracy was a little worse. Even if he missed the shot occasionally, he would just need to make up for it with a semi-automatic sniper shot. This is the advantage of the rifle.
The Japanese army rushed north, and Yangdanzi in the south immediately provided fire cover. If heading south, Zhang Liu's side would fire and harass. The two formed a staggered firing line in opposite positions, making it difficult for the Japanese to keep track of those at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese sergeants, machine gunners, and grenadier soldiers have all become their targets. As long as they appear in the sights, no one can survive more than three seconds.
In just such a short time, more than thirty little Japs had died under their guns.
But after the previous blows, the Japanese also learned a lesson. They no longer blindly raised their guns and fired. Instead, they hid behind the bunker, using the trees and boulders as cover, and slowly approached the position of Zhang and Liu.
The chaos in the military camp had spread throughout the Lashio defense line. The Japanese commander, who was not aware of the situation, thought that there was a large number of enemies attacking there. He was so frightened that he quickly dispatched troops from peripheral positions and stations to support them.
"Puff...Puff..."
Several barrages were fired, Zhang Liu quickly lowered his head, and the bullets hit the ground and splashed dust.
In fact, their purpose was to create chaos and attract most of the Japanese troops to move closer. Seeing more and more Japanese coming around, he realized that it was time to retreat.
"Yangdanzi, little Japan has taken the bait, retreat quickly..."
"Yangdanzi? Please answer if you receive it!"
However, there was no reply coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie, which inevitably gave him a bad feeling.
Zhang Liu cursed secretly, tilted his head and looked towards the southern hillside. He saw dozens of little devils rushing halfway up the mountain, as if they were chasing something.
"Grandma's!"
The kid was probably exposed, but he couldn't care much at the moment and could only retreat first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave when the Japanese got to him.
