1055 Blockade (4)
In everyone's imagination, this sneak attack would definitely be a life-and-death mission. At least, the hunters think so. Otherwise, Xiang Hua, who has rich experience in living in the jungle, would not have made a seemingly joke to his son, but in fact it would be equivalent to an explanation of the last words.
However, this time, the goddess of luck favored all of them from beginning to end, making this mission easier that no one expected. At least, it was extremely relaxed and comfortable at the beginning.
But after the snipers killed four Japanese sentries with daggers, they easily arrived on the hill opposite the Japanese temporary artillery position.
The first time the goddess of luck favored them was: the hill was tall and dense, but when facing the Japanese temporary artillery position, it was covered with thorny forests. This was destined. Once they fired, it was impossible for the enemy to rush directly from the opposite side.
The second favor of the goddess of luck for them is: relative, the same is true for the forest of the Japanese temporary artillery position opposite. The forest is tall and lush on the side facing the sniper, but the side facing the sniper directly is also a forest of thorns and a forest of short trees... This is probably why the Japanese only sent a small number of sentries here, because in the Japanese's eyes, it is also impossible for the enemy to touch them directly from the thorns.
The third favor of the goddess of luck for them was that the Japanese attacked the shells and piled them up behind them. That is to say, without the obstruction of tall and lush trees, these shells were directly exposed to the sight of the snipers on the opposite side. Moreover, because the moonlight can directly shine on the shells, this is almost an agitated ammunition depot.
Seeing all these favorable conditions, or almost destined results, all the hunters may not have reacted, because they did not know that as long as a arrogant person hit a certain point of the shell, they could directly blow up all the shells, and even wipe out all the creatures in this area of dozens of square meters. However, snipers who are proficient in this path could not hide the excitement on their faces.
So, all the original plans were no longer used, all the original arrangements were cancelled, and even the preparations for directly touching and blowing up enemy shells with * were gone. The hunters changed from the original life-long mission to the only audience, as long as they were relaxed and comfortable, without making a sound, just watch from the side.
Then, five snipers lined up and crawled on the ground, ready.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Half a minute later, a gunshot broke everything here. Then four gunshots were so dense that they sounded like there were only two gunshots.
And the greatest favor from the goddess of luck for them is here.
In fact, the four bullets behind are not needed, because these four bullets are destined to be a foil.
The first bullet hit the shell with great accuracy...
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
A loud bang suddenly sounded, accompanied by the firelight, illuminating the surroundings instantly. The shells that fell to the surroundings like air waves were also constantly exploding.
From the first flash of the fire to the stop of the entire fire, it takes five seconds, and even a little longer, the fire illuminates the forests in this area like daylight, but the color is slightly reddish.
At the beginning of the explosion, there was no scream. This is not to say that the first explosion killed all the enemies, but the wounded did not have time to scream, or they did not believe that such an explosion was so shocked that it was stunned. But no matter what, in such a high-density explosion, whether they came back or not, they were instantly swallowed by the explosion.
It was not until a few seconds later that the explosion gradually approached loneliness that a shrill scream began to sound not far from the center of the explosion. Then there were screams one after another instead of the explosion, resounding through the mountains and echoing among the mountains, reminding mankind of how much damage the tragic war would cause to people.
At the same time, no matter how far the distance is, there are some palpitations for such a violent explosion.
Of course, for the Fourth Battalion, such an explosion is enough to boost everyone's morale. On the contrary, for the Japanese, especially for the Japanese who are nearby, morale strikes are inevitable... They all know how beneficial it is to lose the bombardment of the small steel cannon: just a little width, without the suppression of the firepower of the small steel cannon, the enemy can be assured and boldly concentrated on this passage. Even when the Japanese launch a group charge, the enemy does not need to aim at it at all, which is enough to make the Japanese pay an extremely painful price, and even cover the overlapping corpses along the way.
The Japanese commanders did not even have the courage to send people back for inspection, but in the end they had to send a few people back, hoping to find a small cannon or a few cannons from this huge explosion site. However, he himself did not have much hope for this.
The result also confirmed his thoughts: a big pit was blown out at the center of the explosion, and the small cannon found two. However, just looking at the twisted and deformed small cannon barrels that had been blown, I personally thought of two words - scrapped! As for the shells, there was no single shot. The original artillery soldiers, except for the burnt or broken corpses that were scattered everywhere, could not find one that could breathe.
Another point is that because of such a violent explosion, there will inevitably be many burning dead branches and trees around. Such a fire is not important in normal times, but in this dark primeval forest, it will be as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the dark, reminding the enemy opposite that they are hiding here.
The commander thought for only a second and made a decision: rescue the surviving soldiers on the other side, and then leave a portion of the alert, and the rest temporarily retreated.
Immediately, many bullets fired at the opposite side, trying to use firepower to cover the dozen alive Japanese soldiers on the opposite side to retreat.
But what surprised the Japanese was that when the artillery was just now, they could clearly hear the roar from the opposite side. However, now facing their full fire, the opponent would not even have the previous roar again, let alone counterattacking. It gave people the feeling that the person on the opposite side was killed or fled by a gunfire just now, so no one on the opposite side must be here.
Although this is an idea, based on past experience, the Japanese commander knew that the Eighth Route Army had strict military disciplines and no orders. Even if they died, they would never take a step back. Therefore, he firmly believed that there must be an Eighth Route Army hidden on the opposite side, but the number was just a matter of size.
Perhaps, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was just because of the backward weapons or the small number of people, or perhaps it was absolutely meaningless in such an environment, so this kind of shooting was not used, but was temporarily tolerant. It must have wanted to wait for the dozen Japanese to retreat and give them a huge damage to the dozen Japanese to make them understand: it is easy to come over, but it is difficult to retreat.
The result was as the Japanese commander judged.
While the dozen Japanese were running back frantically, Company Commander Gao, who had been silent, took the lead in pulling the trigger on the dozen Japanese. Then, whether they were still rushing back or enduring the pain of the explosion, all rushed to the front and used the guns and bullets in their hands to vent their anger and aggrievances of being shot by the shells just now.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Under normal circumstances, dozens of guns were aimed at a passage fifteen meters wide, and it was easy to block it all. However, even with the help of moonlight, the Japanese escaped too quickly. As a result, only two-thirds of them were killed, and six Japanese escaped successfully.
All the soldiers were relieved, and then, with the provocative scream of Company Commander Gao, all the soldiers screamed, like the howling of a wolf, spreading far away in the forest, and were relieved, and they exhaled their previous aggrievances. Although many soldiers died or were injured and injured, they resisted the fierce attack of the Japanese after all, and saved the battle situation that was about to collapse. After all, they defended their own positions, which was enough. As for whether there would be a more tragic battle in the future, then, it was indeed a time worthy of happiness and pride, and we should cheer for it.
Although Luo Xin and five other snipers completed the mission unexpectedly, they asked the hunters to go back and continue to be alert, but they stayed. Although the hunters also wanted to stay and help, Luo Xin still politely rejected their kindness.
Just because Luo Xin and the others received a mission not only to kill this enemy's temporary artillery position as soon as possible, but also to stick to this area and be ready to eliminate valuable targets such as Japanese commanders, machine gunners, artillery and other Japanese commanders at any time.
Although the hunters are very capable in the forest, they will not only force them, but only because of cooperation, they will cause many unnecessary troubles and flaws. It is better for the five of them to use the vastness of the primeval forest and the darkness of the night to fight guerrillas with the Japanese.
Moreover, the defense on that side really needs to be strengthened. Without any reinforcements from everyone, these ten hunters are definitely rare combat power and should not be wasted here.
Based on the above reasons, Luo Xin and the others politely declined the hunters' request to stay and help them.
Sure enough!
Less than two minutes after the hunters left, the Japanese scouts came in a panic. Obviously, the Japanese also realized that their seemingly inconspicuous negligence had caused such a huge loss, which directly determined that this attack would end in failure. Therefore, they must send people to destroy or drive away the forest first, at least the enemy hidden in the forest. Otherwise, the next attack would still be disrupted by these enemies hiding in the dark, and even cause irreparable losses.
The first real offensive and defensive battle in the minefield on the right of the Fourth Battalion is over here. However, the battle between Luo Xin and five other snipers has just begun.
No matter what, the Japanese were successfully dragged here, at least they could not get out of here for the time being.
On the other side, Erlian had to make a difficult choice at this time: to fight now or wait for three in the morning and four o'clock as planned?
