The brothers of the Flame 1st Special Forces Squadron led by Grizzly rushed all the way and broke through three lines of defense of the puppet army one after another. However, no one of them was killed, only two stray bullets scratched them.
Although the number of these puppet troops responsible for interception was not large, and most of them were squad-level troops, the strong combat effectiveness of Lieyan's 1st Special Forces Squadron still surprised the Japanese commander Major Tanichuan.
The 1st Special Operations Squadron of Lieyan has been playing a hide-and-seek game with the Japs these days, engaging in guerrilla warfare in an elusive and invisible manner. They almost never engage in direct combat with the Japs, and mostly engage in sneak attacks.
This combat style made the Japanese commander Major Tanichuan mistakenly believe that his opponent was only good at hiding and fighting surprises.
But the Japanese commander Major Tanichuan ignored the fact that his opponents were elites selected from the entire Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
The brothers of the Flame Special Forces are not just good at carrying out sneak attacks. They are all veterans of many battles. Whether it is frontal confrontation or hand-to-hand combat, they are still proficient in it, but they just don't have the chance to use it.
Now faced with the pursuit and interception of the Japanese and puppet troops, the brothers of the Flame Special Forces had to confront the puppet troops head-on. Only then did Major Tanigawa realize that simply relying on the puppet troops to block them could no longer stop the guerrillas from breaking through.
The cooked duck will really fly away.
"Order Teams 11 and 13 to quickly reinforce the northern area where the Chinese guerrillas are fleeing, and be sure to intercept the Chinese guerrillas in the encirclement!"
Under the command of Major Tanigawa, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed to the main locations in the direction of the Lieyan 1st Special Forces Squadron's evacuation in trucks to assist the Imperial Army in intercepting the breakout guerrillas.
Now faced with the pursuit and interception of the Japanese and puppet troops, although Grizzly Bear and his brothers broke through three interception lines of the puppet troops in succession, they still did not dare to be careless and continued to evacuate north.
Grizzly Bear believed that as long as they retreated into the mountains, no matter how many Japanese and puppet troops came, they would be able to deal with them.
But when they were driving only a few kilometers away from the edge of the mountainous area, they encountered the last blockade of the Japanese.
These blockades are all constructed with barbed wire and gun towers. Now the Japanese have temporarily reinforced more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, which can be said to be the biggest test for Grizzly Bear and the others.
But now they couldn't help it anymore. Behind them, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops were rushing towards them from several directions.
If they cannot break through this blockade and retreat into the mountains, they will be wiped out as their ammunition is exhausted.
"Old rules, the first and second special operations teams take the lead, and the rest cover!" Grizzly Bear didn't have time to think about other things, and immediately issued the order to fight.
The Japanese built a large number of artillery towers near the blockade, and they were not far apart from each other. One artillery tower could control a large area around it.
If they want to successfully break through the blockade, they must destroy a turret. Otherwise, they will suffer heavy losses if the machine guns in the turret sweep across the open area.
But if we don't break through from here, we have to find another place to break through, which will take time and will also allow the Japanese and puppet troops to form an encirclement again, and the previous efforts will be in vain.
In the end, the breakthrough point they chose was a turret. As long as this turret was destroyed, they could successfully pass the blockade and avoid being caught in a flanking attack.
The several hundred meters surrounding the Japanese gun tower had been cleared of all debris that would affect the firing range. This brought great trouble to the attack on the gun tower, which could only be suppressed by snipers and machine guns.
"attack!"
Soon Grizzly Bear gave the order to attack, and the brothers from the two special operations teams immediately dispersed and headed towards the Japanese gun towers.
The puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers in the artillery tower also discovered the Lieyan special forces members, and immediately fired from the shooting holes to try to stop them.
"Da da da......"
The machine gunner in the shooting hole fired desperately, and a series of bullets flew over, sending grass clippings and soil flying on the ground. The brothers who rushed up had to roll on the spot to avoid the bullets.
The machine guns of the Flame Special Forces also fired back in an attempt to provide cover, but the bullets filled the outside of the turret with smoke and dust, posing no threat to the Japanese hiding in the turret.
As soon as the gunshots here are fired, the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops will come like wolves smelling fishy smell, so the battle must be fought quickly.
"superior!"
Taking advantage of the few seconds when the machine guns in the turret were paused, the brothers rushed forward again, but only after rushing a few dozen meters, bullets fell in front of them again, and they were suppressed again.
"ah!"
Not only were there machine gun fire in the turret, but there was also rifle fire from the firing hole on the side. One brother didn't pay attention and was immediately shot in the thigh and fell to the ground.
"cover!"
The two brothers quickly rolled over and dragged the brother behind, and a bloody ribbon was drawn from the ground.
Watching the attacking brothers being suppressed by the Japs in the gun tower, Li Shoujiang and Han Er of the sniper team lying in the distance had their faces full of anger and tried to eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in the gun tower.
However, the shooting holes in the turret were too small. They could only see the spitting tongues of fire and could not even sight the people hiding behind the wall. They were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
Although they were anxious, sniper Li Shoujiang and the others still forced themselves to remain calm. The crosshairs in the scope remained fixed on the shooting hole, waiting for the opportunity to shoot.
Several more brothers were shot one after another and were dragged down, but it was still difficult for the brothers to get close to the gun tower, and the third special operations team responsible for the flanks had already exchanged fire with more than a dozen Japanese reinforcements.
It can be expected that as time goes by, more and more Japanese reinforcements will arrive, and the situation will become more and more critical.
"boom!"
When the machine gun in the turret paused firing to replenish ammunition, sniper Li Shoujiang finally seized the opportunity to fire. With a shake on his shoulder, the bullet roared out of the gun chamber.
When the Japanese machine gunner stopped to reload, there was a sudden pop, and a bullet flew in along the shooting hole and penetrated his body. He clutched his chest in disbelief and fell down.
When the Japanese deputy shooter hurriedly stepped forward to shoot again, another bullet flew in along the shooting hole and knocked him to the ground.
Although the shooting hole is small, it is not a problem at all for snipers with scopes. As long as the enemy's machine gun does not shoot and knock the bullets away, they can control the shooting hole.
Several Japs and puppet soldiers in succession wanted to push out the machine guns to shoot again, but the continuous bullets flew in from the shooting holes, making them afraid to get close at all. As soon as they got close, blood would spatter.
The several sniper groups outside were operating at almost the most efficient speed. Shell casings popped out one after another, and new bullets rushed out of the gun chamber. They just did not let the Japanese have a chance to shoot.
Although they didn't know how many people they shot behind the firing holes, it was enough to control the firing holes in the turret.
Under the suppression of the snipers, the Japanese and puppet troops in the gun tower became a turtle in the urn. The brothers of the assault special force rushed over quickly and blew open the door of the gun tower. Several brothers ducked and rushed in.
With several dull explosions and gunshots in the gun building, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the building were quickly eliminated, and a large number of Japanese reinforcements also arrived.
