The dense canopy of trees blocked the sunlight, making the jungle look eerie and dark. On a thick tree branch, Major Makino Kanan, with a fierce look on his face, motionless with the sniper rifle in his hand, like a sculpture.
The crosshairs of the sniper rifle scope were fixed on Wei Qing, who was interrogating the wounded Japanese soldier, and wanted to shoot the commander of China's elite special operations force.
While Wei Qing was interrogating the wounded Japanese soldier, sniper Zhang Hai maintained the habit of a sniper and looked around to examine the surrounding environment.
When he aimed towards the mountain on the left, a bright light reflected from the sun in the woods over there flashed away. Zhang Hai's pupils suddenly shrank. His intuition told him that the flash was unusual, but when he looked again, there was no trace of it.
.
Seeing someone looking this way, the Japanese soldier ambushing on the mountain said in a low voice: "Someone has discovered us!"
"shooting!"
Japanese Major Makino Kanan pressed the trigger without any hesitation, and the scorching bullet went straight to his target with the sound of wind cutting.
"hidden!"
Zhang Hai, who had been staring at the mountains looking for the flash of light, shouted and pushed Wei Qing, who was interrogating the wounded Japanese soldiers and prisoners.
"Whoosh!"
"Whizzing!"
The whizzing bullets passed over Wei Qing's shoulder, cutting out a streak of blood. Blood mist flew out of the heads of several brothers, and they fell to the ground like wooden piles.
"There's an ambush!"
The brothers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade had also undergone rigorous training. They rolled and spread out one after another to avoid the nearest rocks, shallow pits and tree trunks. The bullets splashed on the grass.
After several brothers in the sniper team rolled to avoid it, they quickly loaded the ammunition, aimed in the direction where the bullets came, and started to fight back.
The bullets flew towards the mountain forest, causing the leaves to fall off. Some Japanese soldiers hiding in the tree crowns were shot and fell under the trees.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Someone saw the blood pouring from the shoulder of Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations brigade, and hurriedly took out a bandage from his pocket to bandage him.
"It's okay! Go and kill those idiots for me!" Wei Qing pushed away the brothers who were about to bandage him, and ordered to several squad leaders: "Sniper team suppresses, others gather around!"
The brothers were originally chasing the Japs, but now they let the Japs ambush them. Naturally, they were filled with anger.
Following the order from Wei Qing, captain of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, the brothers immediately divided into several teams and surrounded the mountains where the Japanese were hiding. They moved quickly.
Zhang Hai, Li Shoujiang and Han's second-class sniper team brothers found a favorable position on the spot and started shooting at the Japanese. For a moment, the leaves popped like flowers scattered by a goddess.
"Boom!"
The brothers of the assault team quickly rushed into the dark woods. Before they had gone far, one of the brothers touched a booby trap set by the Japanese. One brother was immediately blown up.
"The Japs have set up booby traps, go around them!"
No one knew how many booby traps the Japs had set up in the dense woods, so the brothers of the commando team had to take a detour through the mountains.
When he heard the sound of a booby trap explosion not far away, Makino Kanan, the commander of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces, also changed his face slightly. He did not expect the people from the Flame Special Forces Brigade to arrive so quickly.
"Puff!"
Two bullets struck Makino Kanan and hit the tree trunk behind him, causing the tree trunk to tremble violently.
"Hiss!" One of the bullets grazed Makino Kanan's cheek. His cheek was burning with pain. He stretched out his hand and wiped it. His hand was immediately covered with blood, and a piece of flesh was cut off.
"withdraw!"
Makino Kanan knew that it was impossible for more than a dozen of them to eat up the large number of Flame Special Forces in one bite, so he immediately ordered a retreat and prepared for long-term consumption.
Makino Kanan put away his sniper rifle, slid down the tree trunk to the ground, and then fled in the opposite direction with the remaining Japanese soldiers.
When the brothers from several assault units of the Flame Special Forces Battalion rushed up the mountain, except for the bodies of the five Japanese who were shot dead by snipers, Makino Kanan and others had long since disappeared without a trace.
The brothers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were ambushed by the remnants of the Japanese when they were sure of victory. This made the injured Wei Qing realize that he had underestimated the enemy too much before.
"Sir, the Japanese are fleeing to the northeast. What should we do next?"
There are not many Japs left now, but they are almost all carefully selected elites, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Any carelessness may lead to being killed by the enemy.
Now the Japanese did not go south out of the mountain, but to the northeast. This was undoubtedly a provocation to the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade to fight for victory in this vast jungle.
"Pursue toward the northeast!"
Whether they are facing the challenge of the Japs or carrying out the mission of annihilating them, Wei Qing and the others have no reason to back down.
Although the brothers know that these remaining little Japs are very strong, they are also elites carefully selected from the entire Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, enjoying the best treatment and receiving the most brutal training.
Facing such a powerful enemy, they were not afraid, but instead aroused their high fighting spirit, that is, to destroy this powerful enemy and let the Japanese know that there is a price to pay for showing off their power on China's borders.
Wei Qing sent a small team of brothers to escort the wounded and the bodies of the fallen brothers back, and the remaining six teams immediately pursued them toward the northeast.
However, the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces escaped very quickly. The brothers wandered around the mountains for two days without finding any trace of the Japanese. It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
"The Japanese are evil, why are there no traces of them at all?"
"Have the Japanese escaped from the mountain?"
After two consecutive days of nervously searching for traces of the Japs in the mountains, the brothers were exhausted. After finding nothing, they suspected that the Japs had left the mountain.
Wei Qing, who had a bandage on his shoulder, looked at the vast mountains and wondered in his heart, could it be that the little devil was really trying to lure them to the east and then sneak out of the mountain while they were not paying attention?
But he felt that it was not that simple. If the Japanese wanted to escape from the mountain, they would not use wounded soldiers as bait to ambush them. They must still be in the mountains, hiding somewhere that they have not discovered yet.
"Spread out as a team and search. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find the little devil." Wei Qing was still unwilling to give up and decided to split up his troops to search.
The brothers from the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade who were still in the mountains on a pursuit mission immediately divided into six teams and spread out to look for traces of the Japanese.
"The Chinese have divided their forces!"
Soon, the Japs' reconnaissance elite rushed to a hidden jungle and reported the situation of the Flame Special Forces Brigade to Makino Kanan of the Japs' Skeleton Special Forces.
Hearing that the Flame Special Warfare Brigade was actually divided, Makino Kanan's lips curled up into a sneer. He knew that the opportunity had finally come.
They have been hiding in the mountains for the past two days and have not appeared. The main reason is that dozens of people from the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade are walking together, giving them no chance to make a move.
Now that the Flame Special Warfare Brigade has divided its forces, Makino Kanan can't bear it anymore and gives him every opportunity to defeat it.
