Makino Kanichi never expected that there would be a large number of snipers in the squadron outside the village. He rolled over and hid in a shallow pit, shouting towards the back.
The Japanese who opened the skirmish line and attacked outward also fell down on the spot one after another, raised their guns and started shooting at the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade on the periphery.
For a moment, bullets roared and smoke filled the air. From time to time, bullets penetrated the body and screams were made. The battle suddenly became fierce.
The Japanese snipers also quickly got into position, set up their sniper rifles, and fired at the positions where the snipers from the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade were suspected to be hiding, trying to suppress them.
"puff!"
The bullet landed half a meter in front of sniper Lu Wen'en, and the broken grass clippings and flying soil hit his face, causing burning pain.
Lu Wenen quickly rolled and moved to the next preset position, and the rest of the snipers of the Flame Special Forces Brigade also found that they were being targeted by Japanese snipers.
The snipers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade all moved their positions and stopped shooting. The Japanese snipers could not find their position and had to move their targets and shoot at other soldiers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade.
"Puff!"
As the sound of bullets penetrating flesh was heard, several officers and soldiers of the Flame Special Operations Brigade who jumped out to shoot had blood spurting from their heads, and they fell to the ground without saying a word.
In this short period of time, Lu Wenen and the others had determined the location of the Japanese snipers. Most of the Japanese snipers were hiding against the ruins of the village and shooting outwards.
Sniper Lu Wenen loaded his bullet, shrouding a Japanese sniper hiding behind the broken wall into his crosshairs.
This Japanese sniper was hiding in a good position. In the deep dusk, he almost blended in with the surrounding ruins.
Moreover, this Japanese sniper was also very cunning. After firing a shot, he did not move his position. Instead, he waited for a period of time and then continued shooting at the same position.
"boom!"
Sniper Lu Wenen saw the Japanese sniper hiding there motionless, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he decisively pulled the trigger. The lens of the scope trembled suddenly, but his vision quickly returned to clarity.
Through the lens of the scope, I saw a red and white substance shooting out of the head of the Japanese soldier in the distance, and then there was no movement after his head tilted.
When Lu Wenen started targeting the Japanese snipers, the other snipers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were also firing suppressively at the Japanese snipers.
The number of snipers in the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade was obviously more than that of the Japanese snipers. When the Japanese snipers fired a shot, at least two bullets would fly towards the Japanese almost at the same time as the gunshot was heard.
In just a few minutes, many Japanese snipers were killed, causing the remaining Japanese snipers to not dare to raise their heads.
Makino Kanichi's heart sank to the bottom at this moment. He did not expect that the snipers on his side were actually suppressed. Facing the many snipers on the other side's serious side, breaking out from the front has become a dead end, unless they want to attack them one by one.
Got killed.
"Retreat, retreat to the village!"
Makino Kanichi and the others paid the price for their arrogance. They rushed out of the village more than a hundred meters away, and more than thirty people had been killed.
The Japanese who received the order were like the Ni Bodhisattva who could not save themselves when crossing the river. They could only grit their teeth and run past their companions who were injured and lying on the ground groaning.
Seeing that the Japanese wanted to retreat into the village, the machine gunners opened fire one after another, directly blocking the Japanese with a blocking shot. Many retreating Japanese were hit by a dense rain of bullets, and they had no way to hide.
Beaten into a sieve.
These Japs of the Wolf Squadron are indeed elite, but they are also made of human flesh. Faced with these deadly firepower coverage, they will be injured and die.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In addition to intensive machine gun fire, grenades from grenade launchers also hit the Japanese one after another.
Although the Japs were in a skirmish line and the grenade grenades could only do limited damage, there were so many grenades that they were bombarded indiscriminately. The Japs were so bombed that they cried for their fathers and mothers.
When the commander of the Wolf Squadron, Makino Kanichi, was escorted by several Japanese soldiers and fled back to the village in embarrassment, he turned around and saw that his nose was twisted with anger.
His subordinates who were trying to counterattack from the front were lying in a mess in the field in front of the village, with the injured still struggling and groaning on the ground.
"Boom! Boom!"
However, as a barrage of grenade grenades covered them, even the injured and struggling Japanese soldiers were beaten to a bloody pulp, and there was no movement.
"idiot!"
Seeing this scene, even though Makino Kanichi had always been cold and ruthless, he was so angry that he roared again and again. When had they ever suffered such a big loss?
They didn't even touch the opponent's hair, but they lost one-third of their troops. This was simply a shame and a great humiliation.
The Japanese grenadier soldiers also fired back with grenades, causing grass to fly and smoke billowing in the field outside the village, but it was of no use because the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade had no intention of pursuing the victory.
The Wolf Squadron that retreated back to the village, under the command of Makino Kanichi, deployed a line of defense along the village's houses and walls.
It was already dark, and it would be difficult for the Chinese troops outside to break in. Makino Nuki didn't want to break out now, he wanted to hold on.
Their Wolf Squadron carries radios wherever they go. He has ordered the communications troops to generate electricity for Xuandao Gao in the city. As long as the troops in Yangcheng come over for reinforcements, they will launch a counter-encirclement against the squadron outside.
But what Makino Kanichi didn't know was that the officers and soldiers of the Flame Special Forces Brigade besieging them now were not just the few hundred people outside the village.
The Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade has been reorganized and expanded, and now has a strength of up to 1,500 people, and these 1,500 people are all elites in hundreds of battles, and can be said to be the most elite unit in the Sixth War Zone.
And now so many officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade have been deployed in the surrounding areas. They want to retaliate against the Japs. It is not just as simple as wiping out the Wolf Squadron. After all, the 18th Japs were also involved in the ambush of Sun Liangcheng and the others.
The tour group's Xuandao is high.
After the Japanese brigade commander Kagishima Taka learned that Makino Kanichi and the others found the murderer hiding in a village outside the city, he did not send anyone to support him because he felt that the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Squadron was enough to complete the capture mission.
However, he waited and waited until nightfall without receiving any news of the return of the Wolf Squadron. Just when he was about to send people out of the city to search, a Japanese communications staff member hurriedly walked in.
"Brigade Commander, Major Makino's Wolf Squadron encountered a large guerrilla attack in Wangjia Village outside the city. Now they are trapped and are asking us to send troops for reinforcements!"
"Nani?"
Hearing that the Wolf Squadron was trapped in a village outside the city by guerrillas, the brigade leader Xuanshima Gao was full of doubts. What kind of guerrillas could actually trap the Wolf Squadron, which is known for its strong combat effectiveness?
"Major Makino also mentioned in the message that there are a large number of snipers in this guerrilla group. I am afraid they are disguised by the elite troops of the Chongqing Army. Let us pay attention to safety on the way to reinforcements." The Japanese communications staff added.
"Hmph, he was just looking for a way out. Maybe he underestimated the enemy and fell into the guerrillas' ambush, and deliberately made the guerrillas look powerful to cover up his incompetence."
After Xuanshima Gao was silent for a while, a cold snort came from his nostrils. What he couldn't stand the most was Makino Kanichi's cold and arrogant look.
"Order the 8th Infantry Squadron to send reinforcements."
