Over the dense jungle, another grenade fired from a grenade hit the crown of a tree and exploded. After splattering a large amount of shrapnel, it also easily broke a branch that was only as thick as an arm.
After the grenade exploded, the jungle became temporarily quiet. It was not far from the tree, behind a large rock that was about the size of a car and covered with moss.
Wei Ran cautiously looked around, then crouched down and continued to move aimlessly into the depths of the jungle. At the same time, he did not forget to wave the anti-Japanese sword in his hand, casually chopping open the vines and vines blocking the way.
The clinging venomous snake can be regarded as deliberately leaving some clues for the pursuers behind it.
He knew clearly that there were Japs chasing behind him. After all, this place was still within the range of the grenade launchers on the trail. Those Japs who had been disturbed by the noise last night had no reason to give up so easily.
Deliberately controlling his speed, he led the pursuers deeper, until he estimated that he had been running for more than half an hour. Wei Ran immediately accelerated his speed while trying not to leave too many traces.
After running like this for more than ten minutes, he immediately changed direction and circled at a faster speed towards the direction where Neil had shot.
It is both easy and troublesome to find someone in this dense forest. To put it simply, you can always catch him by following the marks, not to mention that Neil was shot in the shoulder, and the scattered blood stains along the way are enough to be conspicuous.
Already.
It's troublesome, naturally, because the sky-blocking tree canopy and dense shrubs and weeds block almost all sightlines - especially those of the pursuers.
After running in the direction where Neil last fired for about 20 minutes, Wei Ran finally saw a large number of messy footprints and broken branches of vegetation on the surface.
He bent down and picked up a bright Arisaka rifle bullet. After thinking for a moment, he walked sideways for about five or six meters, and carefully pursued it through the cover of vegetation.
It didn't take long this time for Wei Ran to see a large pool of blood on an unknown broad-leaf plant that had been crushed. Among the blood stains were more than a dozen 9mm pistol bullet casings and a Sten.
Empty magazine of a submachine gun.
"Bang!" Just at this moment, a crisp gunshot was heard not far from the front.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a voice shouting in Japanese, "I hit him, right in front."
Subconsciously, he raised his head and squinted at the surrounding trees. After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran first opened the long canvas bag containing the grenades, took out a few grenades from it and pinned them to his waist.
It was hidden under a Y-shaped branching tree together with the grenade that was forced into it.
After closing the surrounding vegetation to cover up the canvas bag, Wei Ran walked forward for some distance, and then he faintly smelled the unique smell of burning mosquito coils and the stronger smell of shit.
Following the smell, he carefully took a few steps forward. When he slowly opened a banana leaf, he saw at a glance not far ahead, a Japanese man with his pants down to his knees, sitting on a tree.
There is even a banana leaf on a branch that sticks out from the fallen tree and is almost completely parallel to the ground. The branch serves as a natural toilet seat.
In addition to the particularly conspicuous snow-white buttocks, Wei Ran also noticed that there was a smoking mosquito-repellent incense box hanging on another tree branch next to the Japanese man whose back was facing him.
On the other side of its body, on the trunk of a dead tree lying on the ground, there was a Japanese backpack. And the Japanese who was defecating with his back to him had a rifle across his leg.
.
Looking at the shotgun in his hand, Wei Ran put it aside, hunched over, and moved slowly in the grass and shrubs, carefully closing the distance between the two parties.
As the stench of feces and mosquitoes became stronger, he also heard the devil's grunting as he exerted force, as well as the distinctive jetting sound as he fled. At the same time, the faint sounds of the devil's conversations could be heard in the distance.
.
Without wasting too much time, an anti-Japanese sword quietly appeared in Wei Ran's left hand. But soon, the weapon in his hand was replaced by a slender Mauser bayonet.
In the humid forest filled with the chirping of insects and birds, the light blue smoke that originally rose in a straight line was violently disturbed by the airflow. The Japanese sniper who was about to exert his strength also turned around when he heard the movement behind him.
My waist felt cold.
"puff!"
With a soft sound, the Mauser bayonet in Wei Ran's hand penetrated the Japs' lower back against the edge of his coat, accurately piercing one of its kidneys.
Grabbing the collar of the devil's neck, Wei Ran drew out his bayonet and lifted it up. He first stabbed through the lungs from the back of the heart, and then stabbed through the heart.
Putting away the bayonet and holding down the Type 97 sniper rifle that was about to slip off, Wei Ran first used the bayonet to carefully dig through the leaf litter at the feet of the Japs, and then removed the two grenades one by one with the safety pins removed.
Stuff it in and press it carefully with the devil's feet.
Let the devil maintain the posture of defecating, and put the sniper rifle between his legs. Use the gun sling to wrap the two hands of the corpse as a third leg support, and keep it firmly.
Balanced.
Taking a quick look at the direction from which the distant sound came, he just picked up the backpack placed on the tree trunk in the distance and the mosquito coil box hanging on the branch next to it that was still emitting a faint smoke, turned around and finally
He quickly ran back to where he was hiding and picked up the shotgun.
Mao crouched and walked around to the side of the dead tree. Wei Ran placed the mosquito coil box he had been holding on a particularly conspicuous stone. However, he carefully moved to a distance and secretly peered at the horizontal tree.
The direction of the dead tree.
Almost at the same time that he was getting ready, two Japs carrying guns appeared first, but then, a total of 22 Japs emerged from behind!
At the very back of these Japs, two more Japs dragged the white soldier Neil, whose life or death was unknown, over. And at the waists on both sides of the two squads, there were also Japs who seemed to be squad leaders.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Umezu-kun, your marksmanship is really accurate."
One of the Japanese soldiers who seemed to be the squad leader praised him from a distance, "That shot just hit his thigh."
"Stop!"
The Japs on the other end, who also seemed to be the team leader, alertly stopped the team, waved their hands and asked tentatively, "Umezu-kun?"
The Japs who died mid-poop would naturally not respond to him, but the more than twenty Japs had already aimed their weapons in a circle around them, and at the same time quickly spread out to find cover.
Among them, in addition to the 14 riflemen using 38-type caps, there were also two groups of machine gunners who set up their Type 96 machine guns nearby on the edge of two trees.
Even the two soldiers dragging Neil pushed their prisoner to the ground. The two squad leaders also hid behind a tree with vigilance.
"You, go see what's going on with Umezu-kun!" the vigilant squad leader at the other end commanded.
Hearing this, the Japanese sniper he selected immediately held up the Sanba Gaigai equipped with a bayonet, bent down and cautiously walked towards the Japanese sniper.
"he died!"
After some vigilant observation, the Japanese soldier shouted loudly, "He is dead! Umezu-kun is dead! He was stabbed to death in the back with a bayonet! His weapon is still there."
"Check it," the squad leader at the other end said immediately, "be careful."
"yes!"
The Japanese soldier who came to die gave a loud response. He carefully checked his surroundings, then slowly squatted down and looked at the face of the corpse with bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Finally, he carefully reached out and touched his upper body and knees.
pants and even below the thighs.
"Safety!"
The Japs responded, carefully unhooking the sniper rifle that was serving as a support, and at the same time turned around and shouted, "Come over here and help me."
Soon, another Japanese soldier ran over with his weapon on his back, took the rifle and put it aside. They helped lift the body up and dragged it to the open space beside the dead tree.
It was only then that the vigilant squad leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out from behind the big tree where he was hiding with another squad leader.
"Search around, don't let go..."
"boom!"
Before it could even finish its sentence, a dead tree exploded just five or six meters away. For a moment, branches, shrapnel, blades of grass and even the porridge-like feces all flew up, covering it tightly.
everything around.
Under this unexpected explosion, the more vigilant team leader subconsciously fell one step behind, allowing the team leader in front to help bear most of the splash damage, while the less vigilant team leader
The squad leader, the two Japs dragging the body, and a few Japs who followed him out of the hiding place would be in dire straits.
Moreover, these Japs, who were either knocked down by grenades or frightened, did not notice at all that less than a second before the explosion, two grenades were fired from the dense forest beside them.
They flew over one after another at very short intervals.
"Duh!"
With an inconspicuous sound, one of the grenades hit the trunk of a big tree. Before it could bounce to the ground, the second grenade flew over and hit a member of the machine gun crew on the head. Successfully.
Relying on its own weight, it caused the enemy to scream in agony before exploding.
"Boom! Boom!"
In the two almost back-to-back explosions, a third grenade also flew over and landed next to another machine gun team.
"boom!"
With the third explosion, Wei Ran retreated decisively with his gun. By the way, he also took away the still burning mosquito coil box. After unscrewing it as he walked, he broke off the still burning mosquito coil.
head and bounced it far away.
At the same time, the Japs behind him had already begun a aimless counterattack. The captain of the vigilant Japs squad who had been lucky enough to escape was now covering his thighs with one hand and the bloody back of his head with the other.
, issuing orders at the top of his lungs.
Sliding the mosquito repellent incense box into his pants pocket, Wei Ran also opened the seized backpack and randomly discarded the useless items inside, deliberately creating clues for the pursuers behind him to pursue.
Until there were only some medicines for treating malaria and deworming ointments left in the backpack, as well as a few boxes of cans and two socks filled with rice, plus a package containing various trophies such as various lighters, rings and watches.
Small cloth bag time.
He then stopped and set up a companion mine as quickly as possible, and casually threw the tent cloth, raincoat, blanket, and engineer shovel fixed to the outside of his backpack on the ground, covering up the companion mine.
At the same time, it was also tied together with the accompanying hair line.
Deliberately stepping on the tent cloth to leave a muddy shoe print, Wei Ran took a few steps forward, then opened the small cloth bag containing the trophies, casually took out a watch from inside, and deliberately
It was placed on a mossy stone, and the dial reflected a ray of sunlight overhead through the canopy.
After arranging these, he rummaged through the small cloth bag, took out two lighters, tried them, and then put them into his pocket. Then he took out a 3W watch produced by Simma Company for the United Kingdom and put it on.
In hand.
After doing this, he also walked to the location where the canvas bag and grenade tube were hidden.
After some comparison, he poured the contents of the canvas bag into the captured Japanese backpack. Even the grenade was fixed horizontally on the backpack.
As for the long canvas bag originally used to hold the gun barrel, he didn't waste it. Instead, he rolled it up randomly and stuffed it into the bag and carried it on his shoulder.
Carefully pushing aside the bushes and walking more than ten meters away, Wei Ran climbed up a tall tree with a dense canopy. Then he took out the gas mask bag he got from the USS Johnston, took out his telescope and pointed it at the captured soldiers.
Neil's team glanced in the direction.
Seeing that the team hadn't caught up yet and hadn't followed the same path as before, he simply hung the binoculars around his neck, put away his satchel, and took out the mosquito coil he had just picked up and intended to use as bait from his pocket.
box.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This cylindrical mosquito coil box is made of white copper, with a diameter of about 10 centimeters and a height of about 10 centimeters.
The cover at one end is full of holes. When you unscrew it, there is a space for lighting mosquito coils.
Continuing down and opening the tray-like lid, this tea bucket-like space is filled with trays of mosquito coils.
Pour out the mosquito-repellent incense inside one by one. At the bottom of this extra thick mosquito-repellent incense box, there is also a disc-shaped cloth bag that seems to contain lime. Under the cloth bag, there is a photo that may be a family portrait.
And two disc-shaped gold plates that can be two millimeters thick.
"No wonder it's so heavy..."
Wei Ran muttered, put all the mosquito coils back, fastened the two lids, and stuffed them into the backpack he had just seized.
After a while, there was finally movement in the distance.
Soon, he saw the two teams that he had attacked come out carrying their injured accomplices on makeshift stretchers.
The difference is that this time, the ones at the front were the two Japs carrying Neil on a stretcher, followed by a few lightly wounded soldiers holding sticks, and then the soldiers holding weapons.
There were seriously injured soldiers being carried on stretchers, and a squad leader who was also lying on a stretcher.
Wei Ran smiled at this detailed count. At this time, even including the Japanese who carried the stretchers, there were only 16 left who were intact and still capable of fighting.
There were only three seriously injured people lying on the stretcher, including the team leader at the other end, and Neil, who seemed to be in a coma. There were two wounded people walking on sticks. Not only that, the two machine guns seemed to be
It was successfully blown up but was not carried by them.
"This number is wrong"
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows. There were only 21 crippled ones in total. So besides the sniper who pooped to death, there were 5 more snipers left there just now?
Can you think of a way to keep the rest? Wei Ran put down the telescope with great excitement and began to make his own plans.
