Makino Kanichi's cold eyes stared at the dilapidated small building in the distance through the crosshairs of the sniper rifle's scope, looking for Han Er and trying to kill him.
"Bring him out——"
Makino Kanichi's deep voice rang out, and a Japanese sniper a few meters away from him nodded and pointed his gun at Li Shoujiang again, who was struggling to climb into the building.
"boom!"
There was a dull gunshot, and the bullets spurted out of the muzzle and sank into Li Shoujiang's other thigh. There was another tearing cry of pain, and Li Shoujiang was sweating profusely in pain.
When the Japanese sniper shot at Li Shoujiang, Han Er, who was hiding in the building, also discovered the Japanese sniper's location and fired with anger on his face.
The gunfire in the back half of the broken hole disappeared in a flash, and the Japanese commander Makino Kanichi, who had been motionless, decisively pulled the trigger.
The Japanese sniper was shot almost at the same time as Han Er. The impact of the bullet knocked Han Er to the ground heavily. The Japanese sniper who was responsible for luring Han Er to expose his position was shot in the head, and red and white things flew from his head.
out.
"Teng Teng Teng..."
At the same time that Makino Kanichi shot Han Er, a heavy machine gun team from the Flame Special Warfare Brigade also discovered his location. As soon as the muzzle of the gun turned, the whizzing bullets swept over him.
The violent heavy machine gun bullets swept across the window and brick wall, everything was shattered in an instant. Makino Kanichi rolled over quickly, and the whistle-sounding bullets passed by his body.
Several brothers from the Flame Special Operations Brigade ran over from the hiding place and brought Li Shoujiang, who was covered in blood, to a safe place. Han Er, who was shot and injured, also covered his wound and moved away with the cover of a machine gun.
Just two minutes later, several Japanese mortar shells hit the small building. Amidst the rumbling explosions, the small building was blown into a mess.
Makino Kanichi's shot did not kill Han Er, but only made a hole in his arm, causing blood to pour out.
"With a penetrating injury, I'm afraid it will take some time to recover."
The medical soldiers quickly bandaged Han Er who had retreated to the back to stop the bleeding, but a hole was made in his arm, which also made Han Er lose his fighting ability.
"How is my brother?" Han Er didn't care about himself. He wanted to know Li Shoujiang's situation.
"That brother of yours?" The medical soldier looked confused.
Han Er suddenly became anxious and hurriedly added: "That sniper just now, Li Shoujiang, was the one who came back before me."
"He lost too much blood and has been killed in battle." The medical soldier said in a low voice after being stunned for a few seconds.
"You're talking nonsense, he had nine lives, how could he die in battle!"
Han Er struggled to stand up and ran to a room where the body was stored. Standing at the door, he saw someone wiping the smoke and mud dust from Li Shoujiang's body.
"Brother, brother, wake up..."
Han Er ran to Li Shoujiang's body and squatted down, shouting loudly, but there was no response. Han Er's eyes sparkled.
"Brother, if we put on these clothes, our lives will not be our own. Let's be more liberal." Seeing that Han Er couldn't think about it, a veteran who was responsible for wiping the bodies of the fallen officers and soldiers comforted him.
Han Er and Li Shoujiang once fought side by side and survived the siege of dozens of Japanese soldiers, but they never expected that Li Shoujiang would die in such an inconspicuous battle.
Looking at Li Shoujiang's gray face, Han Er's tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt so painful that a brother was gone like this again.
"How did you die?"
Zhang Tie, leader of Lieyan's Second Squadron, heard that a brother had been killed in action and rushed over after repelling the Japanese attack.
"Hit three times, it was done by a Japanese sniper." Han Er wiped his eyes and said angrily.
The Japanese shot Li Shoujiang three times just to anger him and expose his position. Thinking of Li Shoujiang's tragic death because of him, Han Er felt full of guilt.
Zhang Tie, leader of Lieyan's Second Squadron, had a murderous look on his face when he heard about the Japs' killings.
"I'm going to take revenge on the Japanese!"
Han Er was holding his sniper rifle with one hand. After speaking, he was about to go to the front line of the battle, but was stopped by Zhang Tie.
"You can't get revenge like this, you will only lose your life."
"But my brother can't die in vain!" Han Er gasped.
"He is also our brother. Revenge is not just your business!"
"I......"
"Be more open-minded and I'll go over first."
Zhang Tie looked at Han Er, whose face was full of grief, and finally softened his tone, patted his shoulder, and returned to the battlefield again.
The brothers at the frontier heard that the Japanese snipers actually fired three shots at the dead Li Shoujiang, and they were all furious. The Japanese murderous behavior completely aroused the brothers' anger.
The Japanese launched two more large-scale attacks on the area where the brothers were defending, but they encountered fierce counterattacks from the defenders and even a small counterattack.
Sniper captain Zhang Hai led the surviving snipers like ghosts in the ruins, constantly firing deadly bullets at the Japanese.
With the rhythmic gunshots, the Japanese officers and the light and heavy machine gunners were killed one after another, and every shot was filled with anger.
The commander of the Devil Wolf Squadron, Makino Kanuki, watched helplessly as his own personnel were being killed, and he wanted to fight back with a sniper.
However, in less than half an hour, five of the snipers under his command were killed and three were injured. Among them, the injured were all hit by grenade bombs. The Japanese snipers encountered a targeted attack from the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade. Unexpectedly,
Don't dare to show off easily again.
The fighting lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Ling and others received an order from Luo Wenyuan, commander of the 18th Division, to immediately withdraw from Yichang and move to the mountains outside the city.
The Japanese 13th Division, the 3rd Division and the 39th Division all moved closer. The Japanese from several directions rushed into the city, but the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen. The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too great. If we continued to stay in the city and defended, we would have no choice but to fight.
The army destroyed a road.
"The wounded will be evacuated first, and our fire team will stay behind to break up the rear."
Although the brothers were extremely reluctant, facing the Japanese soldiers who had surrounded them from other directions, it was meaningless for them to hold on here, so they could only follow the order and retreat.
The Grizzly Flames' 1st Special Forces Squadron left several combat teams behind, and in cooperation with the several demolition teams and combat teams left behind by the 3rd Battalion of the 52nd Regiment, the rest threw away all useless things and quickly walked along the ruins.
of evacuation.
Perhaps the Japs noticed something unusual about the Chinese defenders' position, so more than a hundred little Japs pressed forward with bayonets in hand.
"Put it closer and hit!"
All heavy weapons that could not be taken away were left on the position and were now being used by the various combat groups behind them.
"beat!"
When all the Japs came into range, all the light and heavy weapons opened fire. The bullets poured towards the Japs as if they were free of charge. The Japs in front were beaten to pieces and then shrank back.
While the fighting team at the rear was blocking the Japs, the demolition team was not idle either. They buried five kilograms or ten kilograms of explosives everywhere, preparing to prepare a big gift for the Japs.
