What gave Captain Yazawa Yuki some comfort was that before entering the mountain, he saw the 1st Squadron following him 1 kilometer behind him.
Although the captain of the battalion, Major Osamu Hasegawa, reprimanded him in person for being too cautious, he still sent the 1st Squadron behind him to be ready to support at any time.
In other words, as long as your 3rd Squadron can hold on for about 10 minutes when encountering an attack, the 1st Squadron behind you will be able to catch up and provide support.
As for his own squadron launching an attack alone to repel the enemy in front of him, Captain Yazawa Yuki didn't dare to think about it.
He didn't become timid just because his first team was attacked by the opponent's cold gunmen.
For these Japanese military officers who had been brainwashed since childhood and turned into fanatical militarists, they did not even value their own lives. How could they be so frightened by the casualties of dozens or twenty of their subordinates that they did not even have the courage to fight decisively.
But Captain Yazawa Yuki felt that the tactics of the Chinese troops on the opposite side were a bit strange.
He asked Captain Cao of the team that was attacked before. The opponent on the opposite side was really a sharpshooter, and he was not using an ordinary rifle.
According to Captain Cao's report, when several top soldiers were hit by bullets fired from the enemy's woods, the people nearby did not hear the gunshots. However, when they later found the place where the gunmen fired, they discovered that they had fired. The distance is at least 300 meters.
At a distance of more than 300 meters, he shot to death and wounded several people immediately and then fled. It can be seen that there was more than one person who fired. This kind of sharpshooter can be regarded as an excellent shooter even in the imperial army, and this There are several sharpshooters among the group of enemies.
Also, when the vanguard team was attacked for the second time, the enemy's machine guns and rifles cooperated, causing 12 casualties on their own side in a few seconds, but they still refused to fight and ran away.
Now let’s talk about how they are stragglers of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Captain Yazawa Yuki just wants to throw a big-eared melon seed at them. You are so blind. Can’t you tell that the wounds on the people who were killed were of two different calibers? Was it caused by a bullet? Why did all the soldiers present only hear the sound of machine guns but not rifles?
Captain Yazawa Yuki knew something about silencers, but he didn't expect that rifles could be equipped with high-end items like silencers. This army was definitely not an ordinary army.
But why didn't they fire more shots? From a battlefield perspective, when the enemy has not determined their position, isn't it a logical choice to kill a few more enemies based on their marksmanship?
Unless they have a bigger plan.
This doubt is what makes Captain Yazawa Yuki feel uneasy. There must be a monster when something goes wrong.
Thinking of this, and then looking at the quiet woods around him and the winding and narrow mountain road ahead, Captain Yazawa Yuki felt a wave of heart palpitations. He immediately decided to order to stop advancing. No matter whether he would be punished by the captain, he would wait for the 1st We'll talk about it when the squadron comes up to rendezvous.
Just when he raised his hand to greet the messenger, a sudden scream rang in his ears. His helmeted head felt like it had been hit by a train. The tearing pain just came from his head. His consciousness fell into chaos. Only his hands were still raised high, but his body fell backwards.
"Enemy attack!" The orderly soldier next to him looked at the black hole on the squadron leader's forehead in horror and screamed subconsciously.
But it was too late. Almost at the same time that Captain Yazawa Yuki was shot, the Japanese commanders with plaster flags tied to their gun barrels, as well as the grenade launchers and machine gunners, were all attacked by unknown forces. The bullets are flying from nowhere.
The Japanese soldiers watched many people around them fall down silently. Even though they were well-trained, even though they had just experienced battlefield training, such a strange sight still made their reaction a little late.
"Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta..."
A fire net composed of more than 20 Somi submachine guns and 5 MG-13 machine guns instantly enveloped the front, rear, left and right of the mountain road.
"Swish, swish..." The rain of bullets screamed and penetrated into the flesh and blood of any Japanese soldiers that hindered their flight. Some directly rolled and wreaked havoc in the muscles and organs and tissues of these bodies, and some Then with the torn flesh and blood, he struggled to jump out from the other end of the body and rushed to the next obstacle on the flight path.
At the same time, a small group of Japanese soldiers 200 meters ahead, after hearing the gunfire from both sides behind them, turned around and looked dumbfounded.
"Nani? Didn't we just search the woods on both sides of the road? How could there be so many enemies lurking undetected?"
But before these Japs could free themselves from the confusion of doubting life, not far in front of them, five black machine gun barrels suddenly protruded from the snow, with circular heat dissipation holes on the barrels. It seemed so ferocious and ruthless.
"Da da da……"
Five machine guns swept over at the same time, and the violent bullets instantly knocked down countless Japanese soldiers who were facing each other from behind. Wave after wave of bullets came, and the panicked Japanese soldiers began to lose their way. Some of them wanted to use the cover of tree trunks to fight back. , some buried their heads deeply in the ground and waited for the unknown fate to come. Most of the remaining Japanese troops had to retreat continuously under the cover of trees.
The firing of these five machine guns is to force the remaining Japanese troops to retreat, but retreating means moving closer to the main force of the squadron, which means being attacked by the enemy's main firepower, but the machine guns in the front Under the strong pressure, they had no choice at all.
No matter how brave you are, how unafraid of death, or even how well-trained you are, panic is inevitable when you suffer a sudden and fatal blow, and such fatal blows continue to come one after another. The reaction time left for people is very short, and it is difficult to maintain a calm mind.
The key is that the ambush and sneak attack of the mercenary group always start the war with precise rifle sniping, which means that in the first wave of attacks, most of the Japanese commanders, machine gunners, and grenade launchers were instantly killed. They went to see their Amaterasu, and then there was a violent storm of automatic firepower.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for the surviving Japanese commanders to find a way to deal with it and regroup the scattered formations in a short time. At this time, they could only fight on their own. , the fire support could not be organized in time, and the remaining 20 people of the team as the vanguard were forced back by the rapid firepower of 5 machine guns.
