“Bang!”
In a flash!
The Japanese sergeant fell to the ground with a thud.
The other Japanese and puppet troops hadn't reacted yet, but when they saw the fallen soldier, they quickly entered battle mode.
The Japanese, in particular, reacted faster than the puppet troops, and they prepared to attack.
Kameda Saburo never expected to be ambushed just outside the outpost.
This angered him greatly.
But anger aside, his military training had him quickly taking cover behind a nearby bunker.
He analyzed the enemy's approximate position based on the gunshots and the fallen sergeant.
Then, he quickly issued an order.
“Northeast direction, machine gun cover!”
It must be said that the Japanese military training was indeed quite good. After the command was given, the squad quickly began to sweep the area in the designated direction.
They obeyed orders without question.
At this time, the puppet troops were just starting to take cover.
“Da da.....da da da.....”
Bullets rained down.
This made Su Yang understand why the Japanese were so difficult to fight.
However, fortunately, his hiding place was very well concealed, with a rock as cover, and he was using smokeless powder bullets.
So he hadn't revealed his position.
After controlling his heartbeat, Su Yang took aim again.
“Bang～”
Su Yang knew very well that the first shot had already let the Japanese know his approximate location, the second shot would allow them to pinpoint his location.
So after firing, he didn't look back and retreated immediately.
When Kameda Saburo saw the machine gunner being killed, he was alarmed and quickly commanded his troops to counterattack.
“Baka yarou!”
“Mortar team, prepare, northeast direction, about 200 meters.”
“Hai!”
Bullets rained down on the area around Su Yang's original position, along with mortar shells.
“Bang bang bang.....”
“Bang bang bang.....”
“Da da da.....”
“Boom～”
Facing such ferocious bullets and falling mortar shells.
Even Su Yang's heart couldn't help but tighten, the explosion of the mortar shells was deafening.
If he had been a step slower, he would have been in trouble.
“Close call!”
“I can't believe the Japanese actually used mortars!”
He then quickened his pace and retreated.
..
On the other side.
Kameda Saburo also used binoculars to spot Su Yang retreating on the hillside and yelled angrily.
“Northeast hillside, second detachment, attack!”
“Kill!”
Then, he gave orders to the puppet army officer.
“Chen Battalion Commander, have your platoon follow them, and send another platoon to surround them from the left, we must eliminate the enemy on the hillside.”
Losing two of his men made Kameda Saburo furious, especially since one of them was his detachment commander.
He was also his friend.
Seeing Kameda Saburo's anger, Chen Battalion Commander could only comply.
Then, he carefully reminded him, “Kameda-kun, be careful of falling into the enemy's trap.”
Kameda Saburo pondered for a moment and said, “Impossible, the cunning Eighth Route must have received the news, knowing that we are conducting a siege, so they sent someone to harass us, and then they escaped.”
“We must speed up the sweep and prevent them from escaping.”
“Also, have someone contact the other detachments to check on their situation.”
“Hai!”
Seeing this, Zhang Battalion Commander also had to agree, “Kameda-kun is wise, but it's better to be safe than sorry. For your safety, why don't you wait and see the situation of the other detachments before making a decision?”
Kameda Saburo's eyes flashed with a gleam, he smiled and said, “Then you send a few people to scout ahead.”
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Battalion Commander's face darkened, but he couldn't refuse.
Although he was the battalion commander, if Kameda Saburo said a few words to his superiors, his position would be gone.
“I will follow your orders, Kameda-kun.”
He then arranged for someone to scout ahead.
At this time, the communicator came over and reported, “Commander, we just received news that the third detachment discovered the Eighth Route breaking out from multiple directions.”
Hearing this, Kameda Saburo smiled triumphantly, “Zhang Battalion Commander, as I thought.”
“Immediately pursue them with all our might.”
At this point, Zhang Battalion Commander had no reason to refuse.
Only, he still had a faint feeling of unease in his heart.
But he could only comply.
“Hai!”
......
On the other side.
Su Yang and Shuisheng provided cover for each other, fighting and retreating, seeing many Japanese and puppet troops chasing after them, they were also extremely nervous.
After all, whether they could break the Japanese's morale depended on whether the ambush they were setting up would be successful.
As long as they dealt a heavy blow to the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops.
Then, the battle that followed would be easier.
Just as Su Yang and Shuisheng were fighting and retreating.
The Japanese and puppet troops in pursuit also discovered that the ambushers were only two people, their anger intensified.
“Baka yarou!”
“The Chinese who sniped us! They are truly damned!”
“Bang bang bang.....”
The Japanese's pursuit speed couldn't help but increase.
After all, although there were only two of them, their marksmanship was very accurate. If they were not careful, they would be injured or even killed.
In just a short while, the pursuing troops had suffered nearly five casualties, with three dead.
This made the pursuing Japanese feel a chill down their spines.
If it weren't for the Japanese forcing them, the puppet troops wouldn't have been willing to pursue them.
.....
On the other side.
Zhou Ming and the others were waiting, and when they heard the intense gunfire coming from ahead, they were all shocked.
“Captain, the Japanese even used mortars, will the deputy captain and Shuisheng be alright?”
“Should I take a few people to meet them?”
Zhou Ming was also very worried, but thinking of Su Yang's instructions, he had to force himself to say, “Wait a little longer!”
“I believe they'll come, everyone, get ready to meet the enemy.”
Seeing their captain's firm attitude, the others could only wait anxiously.
They prayed for Su Yang and Shuisheng in their hearts.
As the gunfire got closer and closer, Shuisheng and Su Yang appeared in Zhou Ming's line of sight.
They saw the two of them, not far apart, providing cover for each other, retreating alternately.
Although they were only two, they suppressed the Japanese and puppet troops' offensive, maintaining a certain distance from the Japanese.
Gunshots continued to ring out, and they saw enemies falling.
Zhou Ming and the others were dumbfounded.
The distance was at least 200 meters, yet they were able to hit the enemy, and they were shooting while moving.
Su Yang's marksmanship was so terrifying?
Seeing the Japanese approaching from behind, the ambushed soldiers couldn't help but become nervous.
Their hands holding their guns couldn't help but tighten.
Zhou Ming's eyes were fixed on the front, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
After a moment.
When Su Yang and Shuisheng reached the safe zone, Zhou Ming gave the order loudly.
“Fire!”
