A clear mountain stream was flowing slowly. A Japanese soldier in ragged clothes with sunken eyes held a southern pistol in his hand and carefully walked out of the shade.
He looked around, and after making sure there was no danger, he couldn't wait to lie down like a hungry wolf, and gurgled water into his stomach.
The Japanese soldiers of the Skeleton Special Forces had already eaten up all the dry food they brought into the mountains. Without food, they were already very weak and had to rely on some plants in the mountains for food.
There were more than 80 people who were high-spirited at the beginning. Now, including Commander Makino Kanan, only ten people are left. The rest are all buried in this mountain.
Facing the pursuit and interception of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade under the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, they have been wandering around in the mountains here for several days.
However, they were still unable to escape the pursuit of the Fierce Flame Special Forces Brigade, and it seemed that the opponent would not stop until they completely eliminated them.
In fact, the brothers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade also ate up all the dry food they carried, but fortunately, they were only a few days away from the camp in Xiaoqingshan.
Wei Qing, the captain of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, had already sent people back to get food, and he led the rest of his brothers to chase after the Japs closely, not giving the Japs any chance to breathe.
Now Makino Kanan is no longer eager to destroy the Flame Special Forces Brigade, because the opponent's combat effectiveness is not weak, and is much stronger than the regular Chinese ** Team.
He just wanted to lead the remaining men to escape from pursuit and get out of this damn mountain. Unfortunately, they got lost during these days of chasing and fighting in the mountains.
Moreover, their communications soldier who was carrying the radio was also killed in the battle, leaving them unable to communicate with the outside world and even drop food by air.
Now they can only rely on themselves to fight and get out of the mountain. However, the vast forest sea makes them feel extremely desperate, especially when there are pursuers.
Makino Kanan now regrets it very much. They feel that they overestimated themselves by going into the mountains this time. If they had a choice, he would make complete preparations before going into the mountains again.
Makino Kanan and eight other Japanese soldiers were hiding in the woods not far from the stream. Their hundreds of submachine guns had already used up most of their bullets.
Now there are only two Japanese soldiers and bullets for the Bai-type submachine gun, but the remaining magazines cannot last even one battle.
The sniper didn't have many bullets left, and the other Japs had already started fighting with self-defense pistols.
They were hungry and thirsty when they saw that their companions who had gone to the creek to drink water were not in any danger. Without Makino Kanan's orders, the Japanese with smoke coming out of their throats all rushed towards the creek.
But what the little devils didn't expect was that on the ridge across from the creek, a dark gun muzzle was aimed at them.
All the Japs lying in the water by the stream were within shooting range. Sniper Zhang Hai chewed thatch roots in his mouth, and the sweet taste made him feel extremely comfortable.
He was separated from his brothers in the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, and he chased the Japanese here alone. Now he is fighting alone.
He saw the Japanese soldiers rushing towards the stream, but he did not move. His eyes were still staring behind the shade of the lush plants. He knew that the Japanese soldiers had another sniper hiding in the dark, and he had to deal with it first.
.
After waiting for more than a minute, the Japanese sniper finally couldn't bear it anymore after realizing that there was no danger. He cautiously got out of the woods and strode towards the west, but his eyes were still looking around, ready to attack at any time.
Retreat to the safety of the woods.
Zhang Hai counted the little Japs who appeared by the stream. Only ten of them were left, and he still had eleven bullets left, which meant that he only had one chance to miss.
The crosshairs in the scope locked on the head of the Japanese sniper. Zhang Hai thought silently in his heart, first hit the sniper, then the commander, and then shoot freely...
The Japanese sniper was short and strong, with an ugly face full of exhaustion. The cool stream made him feel better.
After he poured several gulps of water into his stomach, he took off the kettle from his waist and filled it up.
Exposing one's body by an unobstructed stream is a dangerous thing for a sniper.
So after filling the kettle with water, the Japanese sniper stood up and prepared to go back to the woods. He felt that it was safer in the woods.
"boom!"
Just as the Japanese sniper stood up and turned around, Zhang Hai, who was lying on the ridge, fired. The gun body shook and the bullets roared out.
The Japanese sniper turned his head as if he had a premonition, and with a pop, the bullet penetrated his eyebrow, and then blood and white brains spurted out from the back of his head, splashing onto the green grass.
"hidden!"
Suddenly encountering the sound of gunfire, Japanese commander Makino Kanan's nerves suddenly became tense. He jumped over in the air and hid behind an exposed rock.
The Japanese who were drinking water by the stream suddenly became confused. They rolled to avoid and ran towards the woods. They did not expect that the pursuers would come so quickly.
"puff!"
Zhang Hai's second target was the Japs commander Makino Kanan. Unfortunately, the bullet landed behind Makino Kanan's feet, allowing him to dodge.
Zhang Hai was stunned when the bullet missed, but he reacted quickly, the cartridge case jumped out, loaded the bullet again, changed the target and shot at the Japs running towards the woods, because if he didn't fight, the Japs would escape into the woods, and the shooting range would be restricted.
There's no way to fight.
"boom!"
The bullet penetrated the chest of a Japs, and a spurt of blood spurted out. The running Japs staggered forward a few more steps, and then fell to the ground, like a drunken drunkard.
"boom!"
The gun body shook again, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground. The bullet penetrated his neck. He clutched his bleeding neck and fell convulsively.
Although the Japanese snipers have been eliminated, there are still people carrying long guns among the Japanese. Zhang Hai has fired several shots in succession from this position.
After the last shot, he quickly shrank his head and prepared to shift his position to prevent counterattack.
Just when Zhang Hai retracted his head, the whizzing bullets grazed his scalp, and he smelled the smell of burnt hair. Although it was a sunny day, cold sweat broke out on his back.
This shot was fired by the Japs commander Makino Kanan. He was not sure whether he hit it, but at least he was able to temporarily contain the opponent.
After firing this shot, Makino Kanan quickly ran towards the woods, while only six of the other nine subordinates escaped back, and three of them fell by the stream.
"withdraw!"
The gunshots here will soon attract the pursuers of other flame special warfare groups. Makino Kanan looked at the ridge opposite, his face ashen.
If he had time, he wouldn't mind rushing over and cutting the opponent into pieces. Unfortunately, they were now homeless dogs and could only escape.
The sound of gunfire here frightened a group of birds staying in the woods. They flapped their wings and fled into the distance.
"At eight o'clock, chase!"
Following Wei Qing's order, dozens of brothers from the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade who were chasing nearby quickly ran towards the direction of the gunfire like wolves smelling a fishy smell.
