About twelve miles away from Wushan Town on the mountain road, Huang Yu and a recruit quietly hid behind a pile of bushes. Behind them was a ravine, and they could quickly move along it by jumping in.
The recruit was very nervous, his hands holding the gun were shaking, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
In this case, if you fire a gun, you will not be able to hit the target even if the enemy is standing twenty meters away.
"Don't be nervous, think about the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers you transported yesterday!" Huang Yu comforted him in the calmest tone possible.
"They are just like us, carrying a head on two shoulders. They don't have three heads or six arms. As long as they take aim, a bullet can kill them!"
"Our mission is to sneak attack the Japanese and puppet troops, not to fight them desperately, shoot them and then move away!"
"See the ravine behind you? Jump in and run along the ravine. Even the Japanese machine guns cannot hurt us!"
"Calm down, don't shake your hands, follow the shooting method I just taught you: put your shoulder on the butt of the gun, steady your body, three points and one line, aim at the little devil you want to shoot, pull the trigger decisively, don't hesitate...
…”
"As soon as the gun fires, jump into the ravine. We will leave regardless of whether we hit the target or not!"
After some comfort, the recruit's hands holding the gun finally stopped shaking, but the cold sweat on his forehead did not diminish.
Huang Yu did not continue to comfort him. He had to overcome the psychological barrier of the recruits firing the first shot. No matter how much he said, it would only solve the superficial problem.
"The Japanese and puppet troops are coming..."
I don’t know how long it took, but the Japanese and puppet soldiers finally appeared at the end of the mountain road.
Compared with yesterday's arrogance, the Japanese and puppet troops who came out today were much more cautious, but they only arranged nine puppet troops in front of the team as the vanguard.
Holding the rifle in their hands, they observed the surrounding situation while marching, seemingly very vigilant. Only they themselves know how effective it can be.
"Have you seen the little Japs walking in the middle of the team? We will aim at them and shoot them soon!" Huang Yu became very excited when he saw the Japs and ordered in a low voice.
"As soon as my gun goes off, you will shoot regardless of whether you are aiming at the target or not!"
"Japanese soldiers are very capable in individual combat. If you shoot a second later, it will be more dangerous!"
Huang Yu quickly opened the safety of the rifle, pulled the bolt, inserted a Japanese rifle glove into the front sight, and continued to order.
"I have locked the target. You first turn on the safety, pull the bolt, hold the gun steady... aim at the Japanese chest at three points and one line, and shoot when they get close!"
"Shoot... bang..." When the fourteen Japs walked right in front of Huang Yu, gunshots rang out.
The Japanese rifleman fell to the ground, and the recruit pulled the trigger at the same time. Whether it was luck or a blind cat that killed a mouse, he actually hit a Japanese soldier, and then he was stunned in place, forgetting to move.
The Japs reacted quickly. He quickly held the rifle on his shoulder, held the light machine gun in his arms, pulled the bolt, and hugged Huang Yu where he was hiding...
Huang Yu, who had already jumped into the ravine, took action decisively. He grabbed the recruit's clothes and dragged him into the ravine. Several bullets flew right against his scalp, and he would have been dead a second later.
"You don't want your life. Why didn't you move immediately after the shooting? You almost ended up here!" Huang Yu cursed with lingering fear on his face.
"I...when I got nervous...I forgot..." The recruit was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak clearly.
"This is a fatal thing, don't forget it next time!" Huang Yu took the opportunity to remind.
"Follow me and move away from here first, the Japanese may come and kill you at any time!"
"But you did a good job with that shot just now, it hit the Japanese soldier right in the chest..."
"Killing a Japs out with your first shot as a soldier is better than what I did back then. You still have four bullets left, so try to keep up your efforts and kill two more Japs!"
The Japs' reaction speed was indeed very fast. As soon as the crooked handle was clicked, five Japs jumped up from the ground and surrounded the bushes with guns in hand.
Japanese warlord Maeda was very angry.
He was heartbroken that one of his subordinates was dead and the other was injured, and he was also annoyed by the group of Imperial Alliance troops behind him.
Each one of them was more timid than a turtle. When they heard the sound of gunshots, they hugged their heads and fell to the ground, not daring to move.
Several of his subordinates started to fight back under the cover of machine guns. They were still lying motionless. Maeda saw that his anger was rising.
He kicked the platoon leader of the Imperial Association Army next to him: "Bageya Road, are you lying here and pretending to be dead? Rush forward and counterattack. Let the enemy run away and I will question you, the Imperial Association Army!"
"Taijun, calm down!" the puppet platoon leader quickly stood up and said fawningly in fear.
"I will lead people to kill him now. I will definitely catch the enemy who attacked Taijun just now and avenge Taijun!"
After saying that, he kicked the subordinates aside: "Why are you still lying here!"
"Taijun has been killed and you are still lying down. Don't even think about offending Taijun!"
"Everyone, stand up and attack!"
"Taijun is covering us with machine guns. The enemy didn't even have a chance to raise his head, so he stood up and charged forward. No one can be a coward!"
More than twenty puppet soldiers reluctantly stood up from the ground and attacked amidst the curses of the squad and platoon leader...
Unfortunately, except for two still-heating bullet casings behind the bushes, no trace of the sneak attacker could be seen.
No matter how unwilling he was, Maeda could only take the wounded and continue on the road to Zhangzhuang.
Twenty minutes later, the gunshots of the sneak attack on the Japanese and puppet troops rang out again.
Zhong Chengjun led a recruit under his command to launch an attack and killed a Japanese machine gunner with two bullets.
After Cao Zhang Maeda launched a fire at the unoccupied sneak attack position, he had to rush to Zhangzhuang again with the wounded with regrets. His vigilance was at least twice as high as when he first left the stronghold.
In addition to a squad of puppet soldiers who continued to serve as the vanguard to explore the route, three veterans were also selected from the few subordinates to join the vanguard. They would shoot twice at suspicious targets in an attempt to drive away the attackers with gunshots.
But this kind of fire detection is only useful for new recruits.
It's useless in front of the veterans. How to make a sneak attack or continue to make a sneak attack.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Tiezhu and a new recruit took action and killed a Japanese machine gunner again...
After another ten minutes, Wang Minghua and one of his recruits took action and killed a Japanese rifleman...
Fourteen little Japs, five of them were injured or killed before they even entered the pocket formation.
The four recruits who had fired in the guard squad were not as nervous as before, especially the recruit who stayed with Huang Yu.
Instead of worrying about the coming Japs, I am actually looking forward to it, hoping that I can kill one or two Japs in the next battle.
He quietly hid on the hilltop where the ambush position was located, waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to come.
"Zhong Chengjun, Wang Tiezhu, you two combat teams are responsible for the forward troops of the Japanese and puppet troops." Huang Yu began to make final arrangements for the ambush.
"One veteran is responsible for one Japs, and four new recruits are responsible for one Japs. Kill the three Japs as quickly as possible, and concentrate firepower to suppress the remaining puppet troops. Kill anyone who moves. Don't be merciful, let alone let them follow.
The Japanese and puppet troops will gather together behind!"
"The others followed me to ambush the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops: the machine gunners fired at the Japanese grenade group. I was responsible for shooting the Japanese soldier Cao Chang, Wang Minghua was responsible for the little Japanese soldier holding the machine gun, and the others aimed at the remaining two Japanese soldiers!"
"After shooting all the Japanese, we can deal with the puppet troops. The order must not be messed up."
