The few remaining Japanese soldiers were running like bereaved dogs in the mountains, and the brothers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade, who also looked haggard, were chasing and intercepting them.
Although these devils from the Skeleton Special Forces have an extremely strong will to fight, the shortage of food and running out of ammunition still make their situation even more difficult.
Due to the lack of food supplies, the physical strength of these little devils who were fleeing for their lives could no longer keep up, and they even staggered when walking.
It's a pity that they didn't dare to go back and fight the brothers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade because they only had pistols to use.
Fighting with a pistol or a machine gun is almost the same as seeking death, so they can only escape.
But where could they escape to in the vast mountains? Facing the complicated jungle, they seemed very frustrated and confused when they were lost, and their morale dropped sharply.
"Major, the Chinese pursuers have escaped. Let's take a rest."
The gasping Japanese Lieutenant's legs were as if they were filled with lead. He really couldn't walk anymore. He opened his mouth to plead with Japanese Major Makino Kanan who was walking in front holding a 98k sniper rifle.
Makino Kanan looked back at his subordinates who were severely exhausted. His expression was particularly serious. He knew that if they could no longer get food supplies, they would probably starve to death if they were not overtaken and killed by the Flame Special Forces Brigade.
In this mountain.
But they were fighting in this mountainous area, and all the birds and animals were frightened away. Even if they wanted to hunt to replenish food, they seemed so powerless.
"Take a break."
Makino Kanan nodded to his six hungry subordinates and agreed to take a short rest.
The Japs were so exhausted that after hearing Makino Kanan's words, they immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"Xiao Lin-sang, you go and be on guard."
After Makino Kanan looked around to make sure there was no danger, he sat down along a tree trunk and gave instructions to a Japanese soldier.
Although the Japanese was extremely reluctant, he still managed to cheer up and climbed towards the nearest hillside, preparing to serve as a guard.
"Sato-san, take someone with you to find some food."
"Hiyi."
Soon, the Japanese lieutenant led a Japanese soldier with a pistol into the woods, ready to find some food to fill his stomach.
Makino Kanan and the other three Japs stayed where they were to rest. They were really tired, and soon they began to snore.
Makino Kanan's nerves were tense all the time. Continuous fighting and insufficient food replenishment made him very tired. Physically and mentally exhausted, he leaned against the tree trunk and unconsciously fell into a drowsy state.
In his dream, he dreamed of the beautiful cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji and his lover under the cherry blossom trees. He wanted to hug her, but unfortunately, he found that when he hugged the air, his beloved disappeared out of thin air.
Makino Kanan woke up from his dream and found that he was not watching cherry blossoms under the beautiful Mount Fuji, but fell asleep in a dense jungle.
He saw three subordinates who were also sleeping soundly, and snoring could be heard from the guard post on the hillside.
Makino Kanan raised his hand and looked at his wrist, and found that he had slept for two hours, and Lieutenant Sato and another soldier who had been sent out to look for food had not returned yet.
Makino Kanan stood up with his 98k sniper rifle, walked to the security post on the hillside, and woke up his drowsy subordinates.
"ah--"
The Japanese was awakened. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was his commander, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, his face was full of guilt: "Major, I..."
If he had slept while on duty in normal times, Makino Kanan would have been scolded all over his face.
But now, he also knew that his subordinates were too tired, so he had no intention of blaming him for sleeping while on guard duty.
"Kobayashi-san, don't do this next time." Makino Kanan said to the Japs.
"Hi!"
Faced with being exempted from punishment, the Japanese soldier burst into tears of gratitude for Makino's hardship and hurriedly agreed.
"Have Sato-san and the others ever come back?" Makino Kanan asked.
The Japs shook their heads: "They never came back."
Hearing this answer, Makino Kanan frowned. He had been gone for two hours, something must have happened.
"Is there anything unusual around here?"
"Nothing unusual was found." The Japanese replied.
"Let's go, let's go find them."
Makino Kanan finally decided to look for Sato and another subordinate, because it is indeed easy to get lost in the mountains.
Soon, Makino Kanan and his four subordinates searched in the direction where Sato and the others were looking for food. Because the traces left behind were obvious, it was not difficult to find them.
But when they walked to a mountain stream, Makino Kanan's face became serious, and he made a gesture, and the four Japs dispersed in unison, staring at the surroundings as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Makino Kanan squatted down and saw bloodstains on a stone. These were all fresh, and he didn't know whether they were animal bloodstains or human bloodstains. He pressed the bullet into the barrel of the gun and looked around warily.
Now instead of finding his companions, he found blood stains here. Makino Kanan felt that Sato and the others who went out to look for food might be in danger.
"Look around here to see if there are any other blood stains." Makino Kanan ordered.
"Major, this way."
Soon, a Japanese man exclaimed in a low voice, and Makino Kanan walked over in three steps at a time.
What the Japanese found was not blood, but a corpse, that of Lieutenant Sato. His neck was cut into two-thirds by a sharp blade, and his head was almost cut off. He was already dead at this moment.
Seeing Sato's miserable death, even though it was broad daylight, the Japanese soldiers still felt a chill on their backs, as if there were wild beasts staring at them from an invisible place.
Makino Kanan's face was also ashen, he did not expect that his loyal subordinates would be killed quietly.
It must be the Chinese sniper who attacked them by the stream. Makino Kanan had almost no doubts. His chest heaved violently, and an evil fire could not be vented. Finally, he punched the tree, causing the leaves to fall rustlingly.
.
"Bring some relics back."
"You guys go take a look around, and you haven't found anything else yet."
The Japanese soldiers took action separately. The three Japanese soldiers dispersed to find another missing companion. One of them pulled out the dagger from his waist and prepared to cut off a section of hair from the dead Sato and take it back as a relic. This is
What they do when they can't take away a body.
"Boom!"
But when the Japs turned over Sato's body, it suddenly exploded and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Makino Kanan, who was standing not far away and looking around, was also overturned by the sweeping air waves and hit a tree. He grimaced in pain.
When he struggled painfully to get up and looked in the direction of the explosion, his nose suddenly became angry. There were actually booby traps tied to the corpse, and the subordinates who were blown away were rolling several meters away, groaning in pain.
