Chapter Twenty-Nine: Waiting for the Enemy to Be Annihilated
"The first group is on the left, the second group is on the right, the third group is blocking their retreat, the fourth group is frontal, and the fifth group is following me" Ye Kong divided his 100 reserve snipers into 5 groups. These reserve snipers are only good at shooting, but they have not experienced battles, so Ye Kong does not plan to rush into the village with all their people, using the ultra-long range of the new sniper rifle, the first four groups of people plus Zhang Jinquan's team are enough to surround the village, Ye Kong only takes the fifth group of people into the village.
Ye Kong, who quietly approached the village along the terrain, stopped, and the snipers who followed him immediately raised their guns and looked around, entering the village is a close combat, Ye Kong and they all switched to pistols, and in terms of rate of fire and the speed of changing magazines, pistols also have an advantage over sniper rifles. Making a gesture to move on, the snipers discharged a triangular attack formation behind Ye Kong, and Ye Kong, who was holding a gun in both hands, was the top of the triangular attack formation, and all the snipers made judgments based on his movements.
Closer and closer, closer and closer, half an hour later, Ye Kong, who had quietly sneaked in, finally leaned against the thatched hut on the outermost side of the village, the thatched hut full of debris was an open space, and Ye Kong could not see any traces of anyone moving inside. "Go in" Ye Kong gestured, and the snipers rushed in, sticking to Ye Kong's body into the thatched hut, through the gap in the wall made of thatch and branches, Ye Kong and they could observe the outside situation in the thatched hut.
"Head, when are we going to attack? What's the point of hiding in the house all the time" A sniper squatting behind Ye Kong couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and muttered in Ye Kong's ear in a low voice, this was their first real battle against the enemy, and everyone was flushed and excited.
Ye Kong glanced back angrily, those guys who were about to move hurriedly shrunk their necks and moved their eyes to other places, and their half-squatting feet were also quietly moving, keeping themselves away from this captain with murderous eyes in his eyes. Ye Kong's anger was not because of the snipers' invitation to fight, he was annoyed with the snipers' battlefield discipline, he had been training them for more than 2 months, and there were still people who spoke casually when they were lurking against the enemy. This deserted village is an unfamiliar terrain for them, and the slightest negligence in such a place can cause casualties to their companions, especially when they are lurking.
"Shut up" Ye Kong gestured viciously to them, and there was no other sound in the hut except for the sound of suppressed breathing. After a short stay, Ye Kong left 5 people in this thatched hut, and the others followed him on, searching all the way, Ye Kong found that there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers hidden in the deserted village, and they were all concentrated on the west side of the village.
"14" Ye Kong silently counted in his heart, so far, he has found a total of 14 Japanese soldiers, one of whom is still carrying a command knife in his hand, Ye Kong guessed that he should be the commander of this group of Japanese soldiers, should be a second lieutenant or something. After Ye Kong's series of gestures, the snipers pulled up the black visor hanging around their necks one after another, covering most of their faces in the visor. This is the usual practice of mercenary troops, and when they move, the only way to communicate with each other is sign language, and wearing a face armor can cause great psychological pressure on the opponent.
Ye Kong did not believe that the Japanese army would only send a dozen soldiers to lurk in the mountains and forests of Burma, so he did not want to use weapons other than firearms in the upcoming attack, if the Japanese soldiers had other companions who had not returned, they would be alerted by the smoke of gunfire in the village. "Start" After Ye Kong's arm made a bending and stretching movement forward, he was the first to rush out from the hiding place, "Pap, pap, pap" Ye Kong raised his hand with three shots, and the three Japanese soldiers who were squatting on the ground eating were shot and fell to the ground.
"Fire, fire" The snipers shouted loudly and followed Zhao Zhi to attack, and there were only 5 Japanese soldiers who appeared outside the hut, three of whom died at the hands of Ye Kong, and the others were also shot into a hornet's nest by bullets. "Lying down" Ye Kong was suddenly pushed to the ground vigorously, a bullet shot out of the hut flew sideways his steel helmet, and the sniper who pushed him down quickly rolled on the ground to dodge the bullets that came from him, Ye Kong remembered him, this guy's name was Li Leshan, and he was a hunter from Yunnan.
The pistol bullets fired directly through the walls of the hut knocked down all the Japanese soldiers who were hiding inside to fight back. "Don't stop, continue" Ye Kong, who had reloaded the magazine, shot his third magazine at the hut, until Zhang Jinquan, who was acting as a cover, led people into the village, and there were still people shooting at the hut among the snipers under Ye Kong.
This small battle situation in a deserted village is unfair, 21 to 14, this is the comparison of the number of people on both sides, Ye Kong's side is 21 loaded pistols, and the Japanese soldiers are more than a dozen guys who are either busy eating or doing chores, and the blood splattered after the bullet hit the body instantly dyed the open space in front of the thatched hut red. Ye Kong and they eliminated all the Japanese soldiers in the village, and there were still people under Ye Kong who did not fire a shot, not because he was timid, but because his speed was too slow, and when he was ready to shoot, the Japanese were all shot and fell to the ground.
7 died on the spot, and three of the remaining 7 Japanese soldiers were dying, and the Japanese commander who had been kept an eye on Ye Kong survived, and the bullet shot by Ye Kong only hit his thigh and shoulder blade. "What's your name and unit number?" The weakness of the enemy's combat power made Ye Kong a little hard to believe, in his influence, the combat power of the Japanese soldiers should not be so low, and the guy in front of him who was interrogated by himself gave Ye Kong the best answer.
"My name is Da Baojiu, we are not official soldiers, we are just ordered to enter Myanmar to do some surveying and mapping work" Da Baojiu, who was trying his best to endure the severe pain, took out a folded piece of paper from his leather bag and handed it to Ye Kong. Ye Kong, who was skeptical, took it and opened it to see that it was a map drawn with pencil, the map was very poorly made, but according to Ye Kong's opinion, this was a topographic map of great military value, at least higher than the drawing requirements in the mercenary training subject.
"Where are the rest of you?" The snipers searched the entire village and found no trace of other Japanese soldiers, so Ye Kong judged that the Japanese had other companions, and Ye Kong was anxious to know their whereabouts.
"They're not here" Obohisa spit out the blood from his mouth, "We don't have enough food, I only left one class of people around, and the rest of the people have been put into the mountains to look for food, probably because of the rain, they didn't come back on time" Oboku tried his best to hide the fear in his heart, but his eyes had already betrayed his lie.
Ye Kong, who had been staring at him, saw a trace of panic in Da Baojiu's eyes, and Ye Kong, who had also interrogated some Japanese soldiers with Zhao Zhi, naturally would not believe Da Baojiu's lies, even if there were still three squads of Japanese soldiers who did not return to the village as told Da Baojiu, but there were 200 snipers on his side, and no matter how many Japanese soldiers came, it would be in vain.
"I guess this guy is not telling the truth, I have already contacted Mr. with their radio, and Mr. also means that we will only stay here for one night, and return to Yangon immediately tomorrow morning, Mr. has a task for us" Zhang Jinquan motioned to his men to drag Da Baojiu out. There is no such thing as leaving prisoners in the rules of mercenaries, and Zhao Zhi is also very short of medicine, Zhang Jinquan knows that those snipers under him have a way to summon these Japanese prisoners.
The fire pit in the hut was rekindled, and the snipers took turns to bake their military uniforms and boots with the fire pit, and there was an extra dirt bag outside the hut, in which were buried the corpses of the Japanese soldiers killed by Ye Kong. The few captives who were still alive were closely guarded, and Zhao Zhi asked Ye Kong to bring the captives back to Yangon, and it seemed that Zhao Zhi wanted to interrogate them personally. The paste made of jerky and biscuits was fragrant in the lunch box, Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan leaned together, stuffing the paste into their mouths, this was their first hot meal in two days, and everyone swallowed the food very quickly.
I had been thinking about Oboku's confession, and after eating, Ye Kong only arranged for half of the people to sleep and rest, and the remaining half of the people were scattered in several thatched huts and were on guard. The rain had long since stopped, and according to Oboku, those Japanese troops who had been ordered to go into the mountains and forests to find food could appear at any time, and the village surrounded by mountains was full of defensive holes, and Ye Kong and their stay in such terrain was simply putting themselves in the center of the storm.
The hands of the watch were already pointing to 3 p.m., and according to the weather in Myanmar in August, it would be completely dark in about two hours. The snipers hidden in the hut had already changed shifts, and the guys who had slept for nearly three hours after eating had replaced their companions, and now the guys in charge of the guard were all in high spirits, their eyes wide open, and they were observing the movement outside through the cracks in the walls of the hut.
"Jinquan, you take some people to occupy the commanding heights around, you must block their retreat, I will take people to attract their firepower in the village, since they are here, you can't let them go back" After waiting for three hours, at half past three, the sentinels on the perimeter ran back, and there were probably more than 50 Japanese troops approaching here, Ye Kong guessed that it should be the Japanese soldiers that Obojiu said. Zhao Zhi only allowed them to stay here for one night, so Ye Kong planned to take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate them all, 200 against 50, this was a very good opportunity for the newcomers to fight.
