...At this moment, Shimada does not expect to completely eliminate this mysterious Eighth Route Army that suddenly attacked.
He knew very well that it was not easy to eliminate the enemies hiding in the dark, especially since this place was the headquarters and lair of the Eighth Route Army. However, after the exchange of fire between the two sides, he and his party were entangled by the Eighth Route Army troops, and his entire special airborne unit was
It is possible to be surrounded by the main combat forces of the Eighth Route Army.
If that happens, the empire's airborne troops will be doomed.
Right now, for Shimada, the most urgent thing is how to move the radio station in the cave and get rid of the pursuit of this Eighth Route Army unit that may be hiding in the dark.
In order to continue to carry out the final combat mission of raiding the Eighth Route Army Arsenal and the General Headquarters.
In more than an hour, Shimada, who had exhausted his patience, sent out an action team again. A team of about fourteen or fifteen people was the first to be exposed and moved towards the cave.
Attempt to "rescue" the radio station hidden in the cave.
It's still quiet all around.
Shimada even comforted himself in his heart.
Maybe I am too nervous.
Perhaps there are no Eighth Route Army troops lurking around here.
But he knew very well that this was just a subconscious fluke.
Judging from the current situation, it is almost an established fact that the Communications Department was attacked by a mysterious force of the Eighth Route Army.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way that Major Nakamura and the Imperial warriors guarding the Communications Department would disappear due to dereliction of duty.
After a while.
Seven or eight little devils hurriedly carried the very heavy radio out of the entrance of the cave.
The little Japs who couldn't get their hands on were holding the Bai-type submachine guns hanging on their chests and observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Not far away, Shimada Shozo, who was hiding in the dark, also arranged many snipers in the team, holding Japanese-style Type 99 sniper rifles, and vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding signs.
Shimada Shozo's entire string was tense.
With the concerted efforts of several Japs, the bulky radio began to gradually move outward.
The terrain was relatively gentle at first, a relatively raised flat land near the cave, and then there was a relatively steep downhill slope.
Just when the entire radio station is approaching the edge of the flat bottom.
Bo——
The sound was not too loud, just like someone slapped in the woods in the distance.
Compared with regular gunshots, such sounds are almost negligible, but after abruptly breaking the dead silence around them, they were faintly transmitted.
Due to the distance gap between the two parties.
The speed of bullets flying and the speed of light propagation are faster than the speed of sound.
In the sight of Shimada Shozo's telescope, an imperial soldier who was carrying a radio shuddered and suddenly fell down.
Then came the sound, like a slap in the face.
The angle of the opponent's sniper attack was very tricky, and the target selection seemed to have been calculated in advance. The Japanese soldier who was killed was carrying the radio station and was on the outer edge, bearing more weight, the most important position. As the Japs were knocked down by snipers and the strength to carry the radio disappeared, the other Japs suddenly felt the pressure on their hands increase.
Because I almost lost my balance, the entire radio station almost fell to the ground.
"The enemy attack is a sniper from the Eighth Route Army. Hurry, take cover immediately!"
The captain, who directed a group of little devils to carry the radio, quickly ordered.
The little devils who were carrying the radio quickly put it down, then crawled on the ground, avoiding the direction of the bullets, and looking for cover.
There was also a low groan of pain coming from the ground.
The kid who was knocked down was only shot through the abdomen, and the bullet did not hurt any vital parts. Apart from bleeding and being severely injured, he would not die immediately.
Even without anyone bandaging and treating him, the injured little devil could still live for a long time.
"Asshole, this damn eighth-way sniper is deliberately hurting us!"
The Japanese captain cursed angrily, lying on the ground in a rather ugly posture, not daring to raise his head at all.
At this time, the area they were in was very unfavorable for them. The surrounding area was bare, and the terrain was relatively uplifted, while the surrounding forest areas were low-lying. From their angle, if they showed up slightly, they would be exposed to the enemy.
In the sight of the Eighth Route Army snipers.
The opponent's Eighth Route Army obviously took advantage of the leafy woods to lurk among them.
The enemy is in the dark, and the Japanese army is in the light.
The opponent's sniper rifle seems to be far more advanced than the Japanese Type 99 and Type 97 sniper rifles.
Just from the sound of a gunshot just now, even the most experienced Japanese captain was unable to accurately determine the specific location where the Eighth Route Army snipers were hiding.
On the other hand, Shozo Shimada, who was farther away in the other direction, almost didn't hear the sound of the sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, but only saw his soldiers being sniped.
This scene also completely dispelled his last chance of luck.
As expected, a special operations unit of the Eighth Route Army was ambushed nearby.
...Ye Min was hiding behind the trunk of the tree. He turned slightly sideways, and with his sniper sight through a few sparse leaves, he could clearly see the situation in the cave entrance not far away.
The shot just now was taken by him himself.
Just as the Japanese captain speculated, Ye Min deliberately injured the little Japanese instead of killing him directly.
A wounded soldier is far more troublesome to the Japanese than a dead team member.
Surround the corpse and call for help.
This is a classic secret sniping method of special operations.
Although it is a bit cruel and inhumane.
But what kind of humanity can a little devil like a beast have?
The trunk of the lurking ancient tree is thick and stands tall. Under the trunk where Ye Min is hiding, there is another trunk that stretches out. That is another sniper who also serves as Ye Min's observer.
"Deputy team, all the Japanese are down, it's not easy for us to attack for the time being!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He whispered.
Ye Min replied: "It's just a waste of time. The competition is who is more patient. Now this little devil has been completely locked in the cave area by us.
The bait we have on hand to contain the Japs is already more sufficient. In addition to the radio station, we have also added these dozen little Japs. I want to see what happens to the remaining Japs."
"By the way, Erhu, has the news spread?"
"Don't worry, deputy team, everything is ready. We have three artillery groups nearby, and they can carry out fire reinforcements at any time according to the coordinates we provided.
In addition, the chief of staff has also arranged several lines of encirclement and suppression troops to gradually advance from all directions. Once our battle begins, even if we cannot kill all the small Japanese troops in front of us.
The subsequent closing of the net will be able to catch them all, and no one will be able to escape."
Ye Min nodded and added: "Try to capture as many people as possible alive, we have guaranteed it to the Chief of Staff!"
"Hey!"
……
"Baga!"
Shimada Shozo's expression turned ugly at the moment. This hidden cat was really cunning. He only attacked in secret and never attacked from the front.
Not to mention that he failed to successfully transfer the radio station, an action team even moved in, completely under the firepower of the other party.
This is not the way to go.
As time went by, he worried that his situation would become even worse.
Eighth Route Army troops may appear from all directions at any time.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
What to do?
Shimada's right hand clenched his fist tightly. He also wanted to know what to do?
The current situation is very bad. The enemy's Eighth Route Army is lurking in the dark. Judging from the attack just now, it seems that the commander on the opposite side is an extremely cautious and cunning guy, which makes people grit their teeth.
He deliberately hid in secret and did not take action directly. He was like an old cat who was sure of victory, teasing the mouse mercilessly.
It was impossible to determine where the enemy Eighth Route Army was hiding, and the battle was impossible to proceed.
After thinking for a moment, Shimada gritted his teeth.
It seems that he can’t take this radio station with him today.
"...But it is obvious that the Eighth Route Army did not blow up our radio station. Perhaps they wanted to use it as bait. Or perhaps, they were also reluctant to part with such a radio station.
We can only find a solution later!"
"Group 2, throw smoke grenades immediately, cover the evacuation of the first group first!"
"Hi!"
After the order was issued, looking at the soldiers secretly setting up grenade launchers and preparing smoke grenades, Shimada Shozo suddenly had a trace of viciousness on his lips, and then ordered:
"Group three, prepare incendiary bombs. Directly north, throw them at me hard!"
"Sir, will the Eighth Route Army hide in that area?"
Shimada sneered: "Who knows? Maybe it's here, maybe it's not here. It's just throwing incendiary bombs over to buy us some time to evacuate."
"Hi!"
The Japs moved very quickly. First, they quickly threw several smoke bombs into the cave area, and then, a considerable number of incendiary bombs were thrown towards the woods due north, immediately reflecting patches of fire.
Ye Min, who was hiding behind a tree trunk in the distance, looked at the battle and couldn't help but cursed:
"This little son of a bitch, this trick is really poisonous! Fortunately, there is still a lot of snow after the winter, otherwise it will definitely cause a fire, grandma."
"Erhu, type the news to me immediately. After the Japanese smoke has completely dissipated, throw our ether shells over.
I want to see if our ether shells are more powerful or his little devil's smoke bombs."
"Yes!"
...The fire in the forest area due north is still swaying. As Ye Min said, fortunately it snowed a few times in winter. The incendiary bombs of the Japanese quickly ignited only some of the snow that had fallen away, which was relatively dry, and some that were dead.
of trees.
Some evergreen trees and fires were gradually cut back when they passed through the snow on the ground.
The fire did not spread very quickly. Perhaps it would be completely extinguished due to the snow on the ground without the need for the Eighth Route Army to take action.
The smoke bombs thrown by the little devil at the entrance of the cave quickly released smoke, completely covering the entire higher open area.
The gunners arranged by Ye Min fired a certain number of ether shells at the same time and threw them with the help of smoke cover.
These ether shells, newly developed by a team's arsenal, were launched by 60 mortars and landed very accurately with the help of the mortar's sight.
After landing, the ether gas immediately emitted is colorless and odorless. Due to its strong concentration, it will not be released unless there is strong wind.
Otherwise, the ether gas will not dissipate within a short period of time within a surrounding area of seven or eight meters.
For the Japs, the only thing that is perceptible is the trace of the ether shell fired, but at this moment it is perfectly covered by the smoke.
But he said that the inside of the smoke was at this time.
After the smoke completely dissipated, the Japanese captain inside gave an order: "Retreat!"
As he said that, he was the first to stand up, but as soon as he stood up, something banged around him, as if it hit the ground.
This sudden sound was like a bolt from the blue to these Japanese soldiers.
The captain hurriedly shouted: "Lie down!"
He was frightened in his heart, thinking that the Eighth Route Army was secretly taking action.
The next moment, the little devils who had just stood up quickly fell to the ground, covering their heads with their arms.
After a few seconds, no movement was seen, and there was no expected explosion.
"Nani?"
The Japanese captain, who was confused about the situation, had no time to think so much. He got up again, shouted and prepared to withdraw in the direction of Shimada Masami and his party.
But before he took a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy and even had difficulty breathing. He pinched his neck with both hands, which was extremely painful.
After a few more staggering steps, he fell to the ground.
At the same time as he fell to the ground, a series of popping sounds could be heard around him.
Bastard...
Until he became unconscious, he still didn't understand what happened.
On the other side, the old Japanese soldier Shimada lurking in the woods was confused. The smoke bombs had almost dissipated, and the incendiary bombs had also been thrown.
Why haven't we seen the first action team evacuate after waiting for so long?
This poor little devil probably doesn't know that once ether makes people faint, they have to sleep for several hours at least.
How can you wake up so easily?
Most of the little devils who were guarding the radio station in the cave have not yet woken up after being knocked unconscious by ether!
However, the major among them was being interrogated by the soldiers after being poured with a basin of cold water.
The little Japs were projecting smoke bombs and incendiary bombs. Ye Min, who was observing in secret, immediately calculated the approximate area where the Japs were based through the trajectories of the shells launched by the Japs.
He immediately turned around and told Erhu the specific coordinates and approximate area.
"Notify the artillery group immediately and deploy fire coverage. Be quick! Otherwise, this cunning mouse should run away!"
"Yes!"
Boom——
A considerable number of artillery shells pierced the sky from three directions and were projected, but the area where they finally landed was surprisingly consistent, which was the area where Shimada Masami and his Japanese airborne troops were hiding.
Of course, the landing point is not so precise, it is just a rough coverage of firepower.
This sudden artillery bombardment startled Shimada Shozo, and he realized that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have launched a fire blockade here.
He no longer dared to hesitate, and had no time to wait for the first action team that rushed out of the smoke, so he quickly issued the order to evacuate.
The entire area was covered with random firepower, quickly causing casualties to Shimada's airborne troops.
A few unlucky members were killed on the spot.
Shimada, whose heart was bleeding but ignored his grief, quickly led the team and rushed out of the enemy Eighth Route Army's fire coverage area.
In the distance, Ye Min was looking through binoculars, although he could not see the specific situation clearly due to the cover of the woods.
Seeing that the area was covered with fire, his mind pictured the Japs fleeing in all directions:
"Under the cover of fire, the rats will definitely flee in all directions!"
"Next, we just need to close the net and catch all the mice!"
The Japanese finally used planes to parachute all the fire-fighting paratroopers into custody, and the countdown has begun.
Now, what the commandos have to do is to put on masks and capture the dozen or so little devils who were knocked unconscious by ether at the entrance of the cave first.
Now, we are one step closer to capturing the entire airborne force of Japs alive...
