The terrain at the end of the village is like this: the hut where Wang Xuexin and others live is isolated next to a wheat field. A large open space to the west is a minefield used for bullet mine testing, and a half circle of wheat fields surrounds the north and east.
There are winter wheat tillers [niè] and joints everywhere, and the wheat field extends for more than a hundred meters to the north, which is what Mao Duzi calls the back mountain.
A small road leads to Lujiagou to the south of the hut, and the Fourth Branch Factory, also known as the gunpowder factory, is only two hundred meters away.
Wang Xuexin came out of the house with his gun in hand, turned a corner, and squatted in the corner of the room to observe the situation in the back mountain.
Qiangzi and others also came out one after another with guns in hand.
Qiangzi stuck his head out and looked around for a while, then whispered to Wang Xuexin: "Comrade Xiao Dongbei, are you mistaken? There is not even a ghost here, so where did the ghost come from?"
Wang Xuexin didn't speak, but looked coldly at the grove opposite the wheat field. There was a thick tree swaying in the wind under the bright moonlight, as if he wanted to tell Wang Xuexin something.
At this time, Su Xin came up with a flashlight in her hand. She heard the sound of bullets and thunder and got up to check the situation.
"Stop using the flashlight!" Wang Xuexin ordered in a deep voice.
Qiangzi quickly turned around and whispered to Su Xin: "Director Su, turn off the flashlight, don't turn on the flashlight!"
Su Xin was a little confused. Seeing everyone acting like they were facing a formidable enemy, she became nervous. She hurriedly turned off the flashlight and stepped forward to ask, "What's going on?"
"Comrade Xiao Dongbei suspects that there are Japs!" Qiangzi explained: "But... I think he is probably drunk. If there were Japs in Lujiagou, the troops outside would have been fighting together! This is still in the mountains,
The devil never..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xuexin pulled the bolt and raised his gun and fired a bullet with a "bang" sound.
Everyone was startled by Wang Xuexin's move, especially Su Xin, who suddenly exclaimed.
Qiangzi and others immediately dispersed to find bunkers and raised their guns on guard. They were guards from the headquarters, veterans with combat experience and knew how to deal with emergencies.
But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
At this moment, Qiangzi became anxious.
"I'm talking about Comrade Xiao Dongbei!" Qiangzi said: "Shooting is different from bullets and mines. The sound of shooting is loud, which will misunderstand the guard camp..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xuexin raised his gun again and fired a bullet.
Wang Xuexin saw nothing in the dark night, but he noticed that the leaves of one of the trees made an unusual tremor in the moonlight. Without hesitation, he fired a shot at the trunk of the tree.
However, after waiting for a while, there was still nothing in the darkness except a few awakened birds.
Qiangzi was a little angry: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, shooting randomly is a violation of discipline and will be punished..."
"Bang!" Wang Xuexin fired another bullet before he finished speaking.
The target is also the tree trunk, but this time it is not the trembling of the leaves, but the abnormal swing of the tree trunk... The other tree trunks are naturally swaying from side to side in the night wind, but this one seems to be blocked by something.
Qiangzi was so angry that he jumped up from the ground, but before he could say anything, he saw a signal flare rising up in the forest, and then a bunch of Japs rushed out screaming "Wow!"
Kazuki Yamamoto, who was hiding in the forest, was actually shocked by several shots.
The first bullet hit nothing, and Yamamoto Kazuki interpreted it as enemy fire reconnaissance.
This is something we and the enemy often do. In order to explore a certain area that may be dangerous, they will fire a few shots randomly. Enemies with poor psychological quality will launch counterattacks or launch attacks in advance because they cannot calm down.
Kazuki Yamamoto and his special agent team certainly do not belong to this category. They are still lurking in the woods quietly.
Yamamoto Kazuki hopes to be closer to the enemy so that he can better utilize the equipment advantages of the special agent team.
The reason is that the special agent team is equipped with the German-made MP38 submachine gun. The advantage of this gun is a high rate of fire and strong sustained firepower. The disadvantage is that the range is short, and the effective range is only two hundred meters.
This makes the special agent team more suitable for close combat and street fighting with the enemy, rather than long-distance combat in open areas... Otherwise, even if the special agent team is well-trained, it will be a dead end.
At this time, the enemy was at the limit of the MP38's range from the special agent team, and there were trees blocking it, and there was an open wheat field in front of it, which was very disadvantageous for the special agent team.
So Kazuki Yamamoto decided to continue lurking.
However, the second shot surprised Kazuki Yamamoto.
The shot penetrated the tree trunk and hit a team member who had just jumped up.
Although this team member did not make a sound before dying, the important point is that Yamamoto Kazuki, the captain of the special agent team, could not see how the enemy found this team member in this dark environment and accurately hit him.
Eighth Route Sniper?
Impossible. If this shot was intentional, then his marksmanship would probably not be inferior to that of Colonel Konings, who is known as the king of German snipers.
Therefore, Yamamoto Kazuki's thought just passed through his mind, and he immediately defined the shot as a coincidence.
Yes, this is definitely a coincidence!
Yamamoto Kazuki heard from the sound of the gunfire that the opponent was using a Japanese Type 38 rifle. This type of gun has strong penetrating power. It is possible that it could penetrate a tree and accidentally kill a team member.
Therefore, Yamamoto Kazuki remained silent.
Yamamoto Kazuki remained silent, and the other special agent team members did not dare to move. Only Nagasawa, who was hit, was spitting blood on the ground. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of leaves being moved and rubbed... That was Nagasawa.
His limbs were twitching uncontrollably and struggling.
Then the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally the surrounding area fell into silence again.
Just when Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief and felt sorry for losing an excellent team member, there was a "bang" and another team member fell.
Yamamoto Kazuki was stunned and didn't react for a while.
If one shot is a coincidence, then the coincidence of two consecutive shots is basically impossible.
In this case, the enemy must have discovered them.
What's even more sad is that his opponent has killed two of his men in succession, but he doesn't even know where his opponent is.
This made Yamamoto Kazuki's scalp numb for a while, and cold sweat trickled down his back unconsciously.
Yamamoto believed that not only he felt this way, but also many of his subordinates nearby.
What Yamamoto Kazuki didn't know was that Wang Xuexin on the other side was also sweating coldly.
What kind of army is this?
It can actually trigger bullet mines without making any sound.
If this was a coincidence, it would be fine. He believed that these shots had injured at least one target, but there was still no sound!
Wang Xuexin even suspected that his judgment was wrong and there were no enemies in the forest.
However, at this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki could not calm down. He gritted his teeth and ordered to the subordinates around him: "Send the signal and attack!"
"Yes!" the subordinate responded, raised his flare gun and fired a flare into the air.
As soon as the signal flares were fired, gunshots rang out.
It turned out that Kazuki Yamamoto divided his troops into two parts. One part bypassed the flanks of the village and attacked the front directly, while the other part was led by Kazuki Yamamoto and guarded the mountains behind.
Yamamoto Kazuki's plan is that once the Eighth Route Command is attacked, it will retreat to the back mountains as usual, and then they lurking in the back mountains will be able to play their role.
Unexpectedly, they were forced out before the battle even started.
Seeing groups of Japanese soldiers rushing out of the woods, Qiangzi opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Damn it, there are really Japanese soldiers! There are really Japanese soldiers..."
