Chapter 26 Night Battle
The night is cool as water.
A flock of birds were startled and flew away from a mountain ahead. The cries of the birds echoed among the mountains, making people feel creepy.
The stars and the moon were dim, and a group of figures appeared at the mouth of the valley.
These people were holding weapons, including rifles, light machine guns, and grenade launchers. Some of them carried ammunition boxes on their shoulders. They were like ghosts, haunting the midnight.
They moved swiftly and at an extremely fast speed. The military water bottles hanging around their waists made a slight tinkling sound, which sounded unusually clear in the dead of night.
Liu Zhengfeng's pupils contracted. These people filed out of the valley, one after another, as if there was no end. For a moment, he couldn't figure out how many of them there were.
Wu Erdan's face turned pale, cold sweat oozed from his palms, and he swallowed .
"Brother Liu, what should we do?"
Liu Zhengfeng looked stern and said casually, "No hurry, wait a moment."
Wu Erdan said: "Well, the distance is too far, we can't even see who they are clearly, let's wait a while."
At this time, no one had come out of the front valley entrance, which meant that everyone had come out, with a total number of about one hundred and sixty people.
Liu Zhengfeng whispered, "This unit is well-equipped, equipped with 9 light machine guns and 9 grenade launchers. It is impossible for the National Army to have such a configuration. It must be the Japanese devils."
Wu Erdan looked serious and nodded gently: "What should we do? There are only two of us, and we will be at a disadvantage if we fight."
Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "We can still deal with them by long-range sniping instead of confronting them head-on and making full use of the advantages of the terrain."
Anyway, it wasn't the first time, Wu Erdan nodded slowly and whispered: "Then let's get started."
Liu Zhengfeng's eyes flickered with a sly look. "Don't worry. Let them go another 100 meters. There are very few obstacles there. Once the fight starts, it will be difficult for them to find cover in a hurry. They can only serve as our targets. If we can't kill them, we can scare them to death."
"After the fighting starts, you can fire as many shots as possible as quickly as possible. When the enemy starts to lock on us and launch a counterattack, you'd better hide well."
It turns out that there is so much knowledge involved in a simple ambush. Wu Erdan remained silent, carefully pondering the meaning of Liu Zhengfeng's words.
Both men had loaded their guns, with the muzzles pointed at the enemy, and their right index fingers lightly on the triggers. In the desolate mountains and wilderness, a murderous aura suddenly emanated.
Liu Zhengfeng looked through the scope of the sniper rifle and saw that the vanguard of the Japanese army was approaching the sniper spot he wanted step by step.
He focused his eyes on an officer who looked like a commander. The officer had a pistol and a curved Japanese samurai sword on his waist and a telescope on his chest. He kept waving his hands to signal the soldiers behind him to follow.
Distance, wind direction, wind speed, air humidity, and the speed of the enemy's movement. Liu Zhengfeng held his breath, silently calculated in his mind, and slightly adjusted the position of the muzzle of the gun.
The murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and gently pulled the trigger with his right index finger. With a bang, the bullet broke through the barrel of the gun and whizzed away. The sharp gunshot pierced the night sky, like the roar of the god of death.
With a light "puff" sound, the bullet hit the Japanese , entering from the right brain, spinning at high speed in his brain, and finally exiting from his left brain. The Japanese commander instantly fell to the ground and died.
It was a perfect shot, and Liu Zhengfeng was very satisfied. He quickly pulled the bolt, trying to fire a few more shots before the Japanese army counterattacked.
Hearing Liu Zhengfeng firing, Wu Erdan also pulled the trigger. The bullet hit a Japanese soldier holding a light machine gun in the abdomen. The soldier fell down and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
After Liu Zhengfeng killed the second Japanese machine gunner, the Japanese soldiers finally reacted and lay down to seek cover.
Some Japanese soldiers failed to find cover and were shot at continuously by Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan, and they rolled to both sides in panic.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The Japanese machine gunners and soldiers began to fight back, and the quiet mountains and wilderness were suddenly filled with gunfire and smoke.
Although the muzzle sparks of the Type 38 rifle and the Type 97 sniper rifle were extremely weak, the Japanese soldiers still found the positions of Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan through the angle of the ballistics.
The Japanese army's bullets rained down around Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan, with dirt and gravel flying everywhere. Many bullets hit the tree behind the two men, and broken branches kept falling down.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
"Puff puff……"
The firepower of a Japanese squadron was poured down on this small space in an instant. The sharp whistling of bullets and the sound of bullets hitting objects made people's hearts palpitate and collapse.
"Don't look up, stay back."
Liu Zhengfeng's face turned pale and his expression was solemn. He lay prone on the ground and retreated quickly. He was on the top of the mountain. As long as he didn't show his head, no matter how many bullets the Japanese army fired, they would not hit him.
Wu Erdan lay on the ground, his face pale, not daring to move, and turned his head to look at Liu Zhengfeng.
Liu Zhengfeng took a few steps back, away from the Japanese firepower, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wu Erdan, and pointed behind him.
The two men got up, bent over and ran back more than a hundred meters, stopped and lay down, crawled more than ten meters to the left, and stuck their heads out to observe the movements of the Japanese army.
I saw that three or four hundred meters away on the lower left, the muzzles of the Japanese soldiers' guns were spewing flames, still shooting at the position where I was just now, completely unaware that I had run away.
Wu Erdan aimed at a Japanese machine gunner and was about to pull the trigger when he was stopped by Liu Zhengfeng.
"Don't shoot. Let them use up more bullets and buy more time."
Wu Erdan nodded and suddenly felt not as nervous as before.
After a while, the Japanese army finally came to their senses, stopped shooting, and did not act rashly. They just stopped where they were and looked around.
The air suddenly became quiet and silent.
Liu Zhengfeng also held his breath and made no sound. He was not in a hurry at all. It must be the Japanese who were anxious, not him.
These Japanese troops must be reinforcements coming to support the Sixth Division. The military situation was urgent, and as expected, they soon lost their patience and began to move forward tentatively.
Liu Zhengfeng frowned, murderous intent suddenly rose up in his mind. He aimed at a machine gunner and immediately pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed out and hit the machine gunner in the chest.
Wu Erdan also opened fire immediately, because he knew that if he was a little slower, the opponent's dense bullets would arrive immediately, and the powerful firepower would make it impossible for him to raise his head.
Sure enough, this time the two men only fired one shot, and the Japanese bullets rained down on them. The two men lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
This time the Japanese army learned their lesson. When they saw no counterattack from the other side, they stopped shooting soon and the air became quiet again.
Liu Zhengfeng carefully stuck his head out and saw, damn, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers climbing up the mountain quickly, apparently trying to outflank him.
With a stern expression, he shouted, "Erdan, run."
The two men ran backwards as fast as they could. If the Japanese army succeeded in outflanking them, the consequences would be disastrous.
