Chapter 76: Loss of Money
After hearing the noise outside, Kuroshima Morita and Nishi Takeichi rushed out of the dormitory immediately and came to the heavy machine gun position where Kuroshima Jiro was.
"What direction?"
"How far is it?"
Kuroshima Morita asked repeatedly.
Xi Zhuyi was also a little excited.
This time there is a high probability that we can catch that Tubalu.
Kuroshima Jiro said: "Two directions, about two kilometers away."
"What? Two thousand meters?" This was a little beyond Kuroshima Morita's expectations.
Did the Tubalu become idiots tonight? Can you hit the target by shooting from a distance of 2,000 meters?
Kuroshima Morita had a bad feeling that he might be fooled by the Eighth Route Army again tonight.
After being stunned for about half a second, he asked again, "Did the heavy machine gun squadron's sudden attack just now hit us? Has the baggage squadron ambushed outside the stronghold completed the encirclement?"
Kuroshima Jiro was speechless.
Kuroshima Morita said in a deep voice: "Answer me!"
"It's not clear yet." Kuroshima Jiro bowed his head and said, "Because we didn't find the Eighth Route Army just now, he probably moved to another ambush location as soon as possible!"
"What?" Kuroshima Morita was stunned again, "Transferred?"
"But he can't run away." Kuroshima Jiro said grimly, "It's only been a dozen seconds, he can only run a hundred meters at most, he must still be hiding near the sniper point!"
Kuroshima Morita frowned and said nothing.
But at this time he couldn't do anything.
All we can do is wait for the artillery to fire flares again.
…
Let’s go back twenty seconds.
Onoda Jushi was a squad leader of the supply squadron of the Kuroshima Regiment.
The Japanese Army's logistics corps was nominally a logistics corps, but in fact it was a combat unit. There was no difference between them in terms of training level and fighting will.
Most of the time, baggage troops exist as supplementary troops.
Whenever there were casualties in the combat troops, the baggage troops would fill in.
At this moment, Onoda Jushi was following his soldiers, holding sabers or Type 38 rifles with bayonets, charging towards the explosion point from different directions.
At first, I couldn't see clearly because of the distance.
But as the distance gets closer, it becomes clearer.
There seemed to be no one at the explosion site? Only... a bench?
Sure enough, the Eighth Route Army must have hidden in another location, but the distance must not be too far. Only a dozen seconds had passed, so it was impossible for them to run far.
"All of them, watch the ground beneath your feet!"
"Maybe the Tubalu are hiding nearby!"
Onoda Jushichi rushed forward while reminding his soldiers.
The flares in the sky had just burned out, and the light dimmed instantly. Onoda Jushi heard the soldiers' response, but also heard a faint groan.
Onoda Jushi didn't care at first.
It is also said that some soldiers sprained their ankles during the charge, which is a common occurrence.
But when flares lit up the sky again, Onoda Shijuku looked back and found that a soldier had fallen to the ground and was twitching violently!
"Shimada-kun!"
Onoda Jushichi immediately screamed.
While screaming, Onoda Juju ran back to Shimada.
When I looked closely, I saw that Shimada's chest was soaked .
Onoda Shijuku squatted down and touched it. It was warm. He put it to his nose and smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Tubalu!" The next moment, Onoda Shichiku screamed in fear, "Be careful, the Tubalu are nearby, the Tubalu are hiding somewhere nearby! Be careful!"
The Japanese soldiers who were rushing forward stopped one after another.
Then he looked around with his rifle in hand.
…
Looking at the Japanese soldiers looking around in panic, Wang Ye grinned.
The distance just now was still a bit far, so he could only guarantee a hit on the torso, not necessarily a kill. But now the distance was less than two hundred meters, so he had a good chance of hitting the head with one shot.
With the cover of the white pine tree, Wang Ye locked onto another Japanese soldier and began to wait again.
More than ten seconds later, the flare in the sky went out again. At the moment the flare went out, Wang Ye had already pulled the trigger again.
As a professionally trained sniper, Wang Ye can remain as steady as an old dog in any situation.
The 6.5mm caliber Arisaka bullet was fired in the barrel of the Type 38 rifle. The smokeless gunpowder instantly ignited, generating a large amount of high-temperature gas and then generating huge kinetic energy. All the kinetic energy was then concentrated on the bullet, pushing it forward and starting to rotate at high speed under the guidance of the rifling.
In less than 0.1 seconds,
The bullet then spins at high speed, drills out of the muzzle, and then passes through the silencer.
However, the subsequent high-temperature airflow was confined in the muffler.
So there was no explosion sound, no muzzle flash, only a bullet with a plate spinning at high speed, flying towards the face of a Japanese soldier more than a hundred meters away.
Unfortunately, we can’t see the scene of the Japanese being shot.
The surrounding environment darkened. Wang Ye pulled the bolt and a hot shell jumped out of the barrel. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which sounded extremely pleasant.
After the shell had cooled down slightly, Wang Ye bent down and picked it up.
Then he pushed the bolt and another bullet was pushed into the chamber.
Then he fired another shot based on the image that remained in his mind.
This shot is purely a matter of luck, what if I hit the target?
…
About half a minute later, two more flares were fired into the sky.
The enemy's flares are not in unlimited supply, and the intervals between launches are becoming longer and longer.
With the help of the dazzling light, dozens of Japanese soldiers who rushed to the explosion point were horrified to find that two more of their comrades had fallen silently in a pool of blood.
"Kameda-kun? Kono-kun?!"
Hundreds of devils suddenly became chaotic.
The Japanese squadron leader did not stop them either.
Because the squadron leader was also in a confused state.
Where are the Tubalu hiding? Can't find them?
How can we fight this war if we can’t see anyone?
Fighting the air?
…
Kuroshima Morita also noticed the chaos outside.
"What's going on?" Kuroshima Morita frowned and asked, "What happened over there?"
No one could answer because everyone around them, including Kuroshima Jiro and Nishi Takeichi, was confused.
It was the adjutant who kindly handed Kuroshima Morita's telescope to him. Kuroshima Morita took the telescope and finally saw clearly that there were two Japanese soldiers lying in a pool of blood. His brows furrowed.
Were they attacked by the Tubalu? But we didn't hear any gunfire just now?
Oops, I forgot the Tubalu had silencers! No wonder I couldn't hear the gunshots.
After taking another look at the woods farther out, Kuroshima Morita understood everything.
This is a trap! The Eighth Route Army used an explosive to set a trap, luring the Japanese troops to attack, and then he hid in the outer woods and shot them from behind!
Because the Tubalu had a muffler,
So the Japanese army couldn't even determine his location!
Without knowing the exact location of the Tubalu, we naturally couldn't fight back. We couldn't let the baggage squadron launch a counterattack in all directions, right? That would only kill more people!
This Tubalu is so smart and cunning!
At that moment, Kuroshima Morita said angrily: "Order, the baggage squadron withdraws to the base!"
"What?" Kuroshima Jiro stopped the messenger and said, "Captain, the Eighth Route Army hasn't been found yet?"
"Baka!" Kuroshima Morita slapped Kuroshima Jiro in the face again, and yelled at the messenger, "Didn't you hear me? Tell the baggage company to withdraw quickly, quickly!"
"Ha!" The messenger nodded and blew the whistle quickly.
Kuroshima Jiro hung his head with a sinister look in his eyes.
…
In the woods.
Seeing the Japanese start to retreat, Wang Ye had no more worries.
This time, without waiting for the flares to go out, he pulled the trigger continuously at the Japanese.
After two muffled sounds like "pa" and "pa" of broken leather, two more Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
From the direction in which the two Japanese soldiers were lying, the other Japanese soldiers could actually roughly determine where Wang Ye was hiding. However, this was of no use because the order to retreat had already been given.
Dragging the bodies of their comrades, hundreds of Japanese soldiers hastily retreated to their stronghold.
Wang Ye's rifle was empty, so he quickly pulled the bolt to reload the bullets.
Unfortunately, by the time he installed a new clip into the gun chamber and closed the bolt, the flares in the sky had gone out again and the whole world fell into darkness again.
Wang Ye cursed and fired another shot at the front.
It seems that I will lose money today. Although I killed five Japanese devils, I failed to seize a Type 38 rifle. What can I use to repay my landlord, Uncle Zhang?
