Chapter 33: Blocking the Mountain Road (3)
Finding that the Japanese troops under the slope seemed to want to retreat, Lu Yuan immediately unscrewed the silencer on the sniper rifle, and he was ready to attack at any time to pursue this group of Japanese soldiers alone. The sound of gunfire echoed on the hillside, and a Japanese soldier who turned and ran opened his arms and fell face down on the side of the mountain road, blood slowly oozing from the bullet holes in his back. Kurokawa, who was still lying on the spot, didn't dare to move, he couldn't think of why the sharpshooter suddenly didn't block the gunshot, but the soldier who was shot just now was a good proof, and Kurokawa didn't dare to act indifferently for a while.
Kurokawa lay silently on his stomach, and the area around the mountain road was quiet, except for the rustle of the weeds from the wind, as if nothing had happened just now. But years of experience in the Kwantung Army taught Kurokawa that the calmer the appearance, the greater the terror that was hidden, and the more impatient he was, the more he could not be impatient. I don't know how long it has been, but the area around the mountain road is still as quiet as ever, and Kurokawa can't help but wonder, could it be that this and the sharpshooter have left?
Wouldn't it be funny if that sharpshooter had already left, and the others were waiting here stupidly? Thinking of this, Kurokawa couldn't help but slowly look ahead. The Japanese soldiers under Kurokawa were also waiting for a hard time, and at this moment they saw that the squad leader was looking up to look ahead, and several Japanese soldiers who were thinking about it also followed suit.
A Japanese soldier not far from Kurokawa moved a little bigger, and he was just looking up, but his entire upper body had already been raised. Kurokawa, who noticed it out of the corner of his eye, secretly said that it was not good, and before he had time to explain, he could only turn his head and shout at the Japanese soldier to be careful. "Smack!" As if in response to Kurokawa's shout, a bullet whistled and directly sank into the steel helmet of the Japanese soldier, and with a crisp sound, the warhead with strong kinetic energy directly chiseled through the steel helmet, chiseling out a thick piercing bullet hole in the head under the steel helmet.
Two people were killed in a row, and Kurokawa and the remnants of the Japanese soldiers under him were honest, but Kurokawa was quickly thinking about countermeasures at the moment. Kurokawa felt that he had seen through the other party's mind, the other party was a sharpshooter, and he must be thinking of annihilating his own team here, otherwise he would not be competing with himself here for patience. Thinking of this, Kurokawa looked left and right, and began to think back to the terrain he had passed through when he came.
"Mishima, you guys get your grenades ready, throw them all when you hear my order, and then let's take advantage of the dust cover formed after the grenade explodes and retreat." Kurokawa, who seemed to have come up with a good solution, began to call out to his soldiers, and after receiving a response from his soldiers, Kurokawa also slowly pulled the bolt of the gun, putting the bullets in the magazine on fire and ready to shoot at any time. "Throw, throw it all." Kurokawa, who had already half-bent his right leg, raised his head and shouted, and the Japanese soldiers who were already ready raised their hands and threw the grenades they were holding in their hands high.
"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."The grenade that swirled down from the air exploded on the ground, and the continuous explosion created a large area of dust on the side of the mountain road under the slope, and Xie Shen and the others on the top of the slope could no longer see the movement of those Japanese troops at all. "Found it, Captain Lu is over there." Sun Debiao suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the slope below, Xie Shen and the others turned their heads to look in the direction he pointed, just in time to see Lu Yuan, who was wearing a camouflage net, carrying a rifle and rushing down from the slope.
"Oops, Captain Lu is going to pursue those Japanese soldiers, what can I do?" The other party is a whole Japanese squad, and Lu Yuan is the only one alone, although Lu Yuan has firmly suppressed the Japanese squad for more than half an hour just now, but Sun Debiao does not think that Lu Yuan will really be the opponent of so many Japanese soldiers. Seeing that Lu Yuan chose to take the initiative, Sun Debiao couldn't help but get nervous, but Xiao Zhenghua, who was standing beside him, didn't care at all.
"If you want me to say, your worries are unnecessary, and you should carefully look at the situation on the Japanese side." Xiao Zhenghua tilted the corners of his mouth to show a smile, but he could see it clearly, the first action of the Japanese soldiers under the slope after throwing grenades was to turn around and run, and there were only about 30 Japanese soldiers who could get up and run. Sun Debiao, who was a little stunned, did not argue with Xiao Zhenghua, but picked up the binoculars and carefully looked at the situation under the slope, huh? How so? After just one glance, Sun Debiao couldn't help but be surprised.
Lu Yuan, who had already come out of hiding, didn't know this, his purpose at the moment was to launch a pursuit of the remaining Japanese troops, and strive to shoot all the Japanese troops as soon as possible. "Smack!" A bullet hit a Japanese soldier in the back, and the victim fell face down with his arms outstretched. "Smack!" Another bullet hit the target, only this time it was not the body that was shot, but a grenade on the waist of a Japanese soldier.
There was a boom, and a cloud of fireworks rose on the mountain road, and Kurokawa looked at the mud not far away with a frightened face, and there was a wisp of gunpowder smoke coming out of the dirt pit left behind after the explosion. After a while, fear suddenly surged into his heart, Kurokawa only felt that his back was cold and full of cold sweat, and his body was trembling uncontrollably, and those who had not experienced the battlefield would never be able to understand the horror. But the most important thing now is to get out of here as soon as possible, Kurokawa forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and slid down the not very steep hill in front of him.
Kurokawa's actions served as a model for the other Japanese soldiers, and under Kurokawa's leadership, the Japanese soldiers who were supposed to retreat along the mountain road slid down the hillside like dumplings. You should be able to get away with it now, right? Kurokawa's heart lightened, but before he could exhale the breath he had been holding, he suddenly heard a gunshot behind him. Lu Yuan didn't expect that these Japanese soldiers would dare to slide down the hill so boldly in order to survive, what he could do now was to shoot continuously, and first knock down the few Japanese soldiers who fell behind one by one.
Kurokawa slid into the dirt ditch below the hillside before he stopped, and the elbows and buttocks of the military uniform were already worn out. There were less than 20 Japanese soldiers who escaped with Kurokawa sliding down the hillside, but Kurokawa, who was sad in his heart, didn't dare to stay longer, but urged these soldiers who slid down the hill with him to leave here quickly. Hei Chuan's hunch was not wrong, Lu Yuan did not intend to let them go, and when he saw Xiao Zhenghua and Sun Debiao on the top of the slope also running down, Lu Yuan told the two of them.
"I'm going to chase down the Japanese soldiers who have escaped, and if you two don't get tired, move all these weapons and ammunition to the top of the slope. Finally, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers are thrown down the mountain stream, and all the belongings that can be found on the corpses belong to the two of you. Without waiting for Xiao Zhenghua and Sun Debiao to answer, Lu Yuan had already turned around and chased down the mountain road, although Lu Yuan did not slide down the hillside, but he had a full-view map in hand, as long as Heichuan and they did not escape back to Wangjiazhai, it was impossible to escape Lu Yuan's pursuit.
Kurokawa and the others ran wildly along the way they came, and after running out of more than 3 miles in one go, Kurokawa, who was panting and sweating, ordered to stop and rest. Holding up the binoculars and observing behind him, he didn't find any pursuers, and Kurokawa was really relieved at this time. A "pop" of gunfire rang out, and one of Kurokawa's veterans was shot and fell on his back, blood arrows shooting out of the bullet hole in his chest. No one looked at the veteran who had been shot, and the first reaction of everyone, including Kurokawa, was to lie down on the spot and put their rifles on their own.
Another bullet hit, and one of Kurokawa's soldiers was shot and bleeding. After the second gunshot, Kurokawa and a Japanese veteran almost simultaneously judged the approximate location of the enemy's concealment based on the sound of gunfire. But the other party is 200 meters away from his side, and he can't help the enemy with the 38 rifle in his hand, but Kurokawa has an idea, and he is ready to wait for the rabbit.
Following Kurokawa's gestures, the Japanese soldiers under his command immediately divided into two groups and slowly moved to the sides, leaving only the corpses of Kurokawa himself and his two soldiers in front of him. After letting his soldiers draw the attention of the opponent from both flanks and really determine the opponent's position, Kurokawa will rush forward from the seemingly non-dangerous middle, and then find an opportunity to take the sharpshooter by surprise. Kurokawa's plan was very good, and the remaining soldiers under his command cooperated very well, but he underestimated Lu Yuan.
The remnants of the Japanese army that had been locked by themselves were suddenly divided into three, and Lu Yuan, who was hidden 200 meters away, had already understood everything through the full-view map, although there was only one red dot left in the middle, but Lu Yuan did not relax his vigilance in the middle. After shooting and killing a number of Japanese soldiers in succession and temporarily suppressing the Japanese soldiers on both flanks, Lu Yuan turned around and focused on the Japanese soldier who was quietly coming up from the middle road.
Lu Yuan didn't know that the Japanese army he touched from the middle was the commander of this Japanese squad, and Kurokawa didn't know that his actions had already been known by Lu Yuan and paid attention to them. I don't know how long it was, maybe a minute, maybe three minutes, maybe longer, when a faint footstep sounded. Lu Yuan, who was silent, knew that the enemy was coming, so he didn't move, just waited for the other party's arrival motionlessly, and at the same time silently judged the distance between the other party and himself through the full-view map.
When Kurokawa was in the Kwantung Army, he didn't go out hunting, and at this time he already regarded himself as a clever hunter, and the sharpshooter who didn't know anything was his prey. Kurokawa, who was suddenly a little nervous, only felt that his heart was pounding so much that his palms were sweaty and his breathing gradually became a little short, and Kurokawa, who was secretly adjusting his breathing, slowly put the rifle in his hand flat, and the muzzle of the gun was always pointed directly in front of him.
