Chapter 13 Sniper
In the dark woods, Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan ran for their lives.
Since the Japanese army broke through the position of Feiying Ridge, they chased all the way without encountering any effective resistance. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked on this mountain. Although the enemy's firepower was weak, their hit rate was surprisingly high. In a short period of time, nearly twenty soldiers were hit and either killed or injured. If this continues, what will happen?
The Japanese officer in charge became angry and temporarily gave up his previous goal and focused on chasing the enemy on the top of the mountain .
Liu Zhengfeng took a deep breath and ran as fast as he could, not daring to stop for a moment.
The woods here are dense and the environment is dark. It's okay to deal with small groups of enemies, but there are at least hundreds of them now, and they can surround us from all directions. If I stop, I'll be seeking death.
Half an hour later, Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan ran out of the woods and came to the foot of the mountain. They ran non-stop through the valley more than a hundred meters ahead and quickly rushed to another mountain.
At this time, the two were panting and tired like dogs.
Wu Erdan sat down, put his left hand on his stomach, and breathed heavily.
"No, no, I can't run anymore, let me rest."
Liu Zhengfeng also stopped, breathing heavily while loading bullets into the magazine.
To be honest, he was quite surprised at Wu Erdan's physical fitness. It was rare to find someone who could run at a high intensity for an hour continuously. As long as he practiced more, he would definitely become an excellent fighter.
He looked up at the sky and it was not far from dawn.
The third company was ordered to cover the wounded in the field hospital. Logically, they had been negotiating with the Japanese army here for more than an hour, and they should have come to pick them up, but for some reason, they seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and no trace was found.
According to the usual behavior of these old warlords, they are very likely to have abandoned themselves.
Liu Zhengfeng didn't care about this, but their inaction might ruin everyone, including themselves.
Liu Zhengfeng would not allow this situation to happen because Li Rong and Wu Xiaoyun were also inside, so he had to do his best to prevent this situation from happening.
At this time, the Japanese army also rushed into the valley. Liu Zhengfeng pulled the trigger without thinking, loaded the bullet into the chamber, and pulled the trigger again. He fired five shots in a row and quickly used up the bullets in the magazine. The whole action was as smooth as flowing water. A semi-automatic rifle produced the effect of a machine gun burst, which left Wu Erdan stunned.
While Liu Zhengfeng was loading bullets into the magazine, he said to Wu Erdan, "Erdan, I'll hold them back here. Go find the company commander and his men and have them choose a suitable location to ambush the Japanese."
"Tell them that it is much better to proactively ambush the enemy than to be chased by the enemy."
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The Japanese troops fired back in the valley.
Wu Erdan quickly lay down and said, "Brother Liu, the officers have already run away, why are we making a fuss? Besides, they won't listen to me. Soldiers should obey the orders of their superiors. It is natural. How can a soldier give orders to his superiors?"
Liu Zhengfeng knocked down a Japanese soldier with a bang.
"It's not an order, it's a request. Just say it's what I said."
Wu Erdan sighed and said, "Okay, Brother Liu, you are the most special soldier I have ever seen. You are very powerful. You have your own ideas. You are much better than the superiors. I will listen to you."
Liu Zhengfeng pulled the trigger and killed another Japanese soldier.
"Erdan, run to the mountain on the left and keep going forward along the path. Keep an eye out and you will definitely find them. Then tell them what I said."
There is no doubt that where hundreds of people pass by, there will definitely be obvious traces left behind. Liu Zhengfeng believes that Wu Erdan will be able to find He Ming and the others. As for whether He Ming will follow his advice, that is another matter.
"Brother Liu, be careful."
Wu Erdan nodded, crouched down and went into the woods behind.
Liu Zhengfeng resisted for a while, but when he saw the Japanese soldiers starting to rush up the hillside, he began to fight and retreat. He always kept a distance from the Japanese army, neither too far nor too close.
Not long after, the sky brightened. In the early morning of Dabie Mountains, the mountain peaks were shrouded in a misty smoke, creating a scene like a fairyland.
However, bursts of fierce gunfire rang out, filled with a murderous atmosphere, as if telling people that this was not some immortal cave, but a world full of killing.
"Kill them..."
"Kill this terrible Chinaman..."
…
The woods were filled with the angry and almost crazy shouts of Japanese soldiers.
From three o'clock in the morning to early morning, Liu Zhengfeng had killed more than thirty Japanese soldiers, which made the Japanese soldiers terrified and angry, and the Japanese commander Yamamoto Naoki fell into madness.
Naoki Yamamoto was a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the Suzuki Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army. After ten days of arduous and fierce fighting, he finally defeated the Chinese troops defending Feiying Ridge last night.
During these ten days, his brigade suffered heavy casualties. He hated the Chinese army so much that he decided to wipe them out completely to vent his hatred.
Therefore, he ordered his soldiers to lay down their heavy weapons, go into battle lightly, and pursue the enemy with all their might. On the way of pursuit, he found traces of the enemy's field hospital. He judged that they had not escaped far, which further strengthened his determination to pursue them.
Unexpectedly, a Chinese soldier appeared out of nowhere and completely disrupted his plan.
The Chinese soldier on the opposite side was an extremely skilled shooter and was extremely cunning. He always kept a distance of more than 200 meters from him, which was beyond the range of the grenade launcher. He was also very good at using the terrain and barriers of nature to protect himself while causing damage to himself. The shooting skills that his soldiers were proud of were all ineffective in front of him.
"Kill them..."
Naoki Yamamoto waved his command knife wildly, his face twisted and hideous, as if he had completely lost his mind.
"Sir, please calm down. "
Yamamoto Battalion's vice-captain Matsushita Ichirō shouted.
Yamamoto Naoki came back to his senses and frowned: "Mr. Matsushita, I will never give up until I kill this Chinese soldier."
Matsushita Ichirō said, "Sir, I feel that the most urgent task is to eliminate the remaining Chinese troops. We cannot fail because of this Chinese soldier in front of us."
"What?"
Yamamoto Naoki said angrily: "This Chinese soldier killed more than 30 of my Imperial Japanese Army alone. I will not be a human being if I don't get rid of this man."
"Your Excellency is absolutely right."
Matsushita Ichirō bowed and said, "However, we can have both. Please lead the troops to pursue the escaped remnants of the Chinese army, and leave this person to me."
"you?"
Yamamoto Naoki frowned.
Matsushita Ichirō said, "Sir, please don't forget that I am a sniper by profession. I am also the only deputy captain of the Imperial Japanese Army who went to the battlefield with a sniper rifle."
As he spoke, he raised the Type 97 sniper rifle in his hand.
Yamamoto Naoki said happily: "Mr. Matsushita, that's great. I will lead the team to chase the remaining Chinese troops. I will leave this place in your hands."
"Haiyi, please rest assured, sir."
