Chapter 9: Joining Forces Against the Enemy
These Chinese people are too terrifying! Sen Yuan allowed the medic to bandage his wounds while feeling troubled about how to explain to Captain Kawashima the reasons for his command failure.
None of the three spoke first, as Cheng Tianlei and Duan Ying had been sizing up Luo Xiao for quite some time, their gazes filled with confusion and suspicion
As they were all soldiers, the relationship among the three quickly became harmonious, and they discussed how to proceed with the upcoming battle
Behind the bunker at the entrance of Beida Camp, Luo Xiao sat facing Cheng Tianlei and Duan Ying
As there were no enemies attempting to approach the heavy machine guns, the snipers of the Tiger Tooth Special Forces turned their targets to the various ranks of Japanese officers, from second lieutenants to lieutenants, and even sergeants were not spared. Under the high-magnification sniper scopes equipped with night vision capabilities, the Japanese officers had nowhere to escape, falling one after another to the ground
It seems that there is no escaping the fate of being gutted like a fat pig! Sen Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart, feeling anxious about the bleakness of his own destiny
During this period, the Tiger Tooth Special Operations Team of Luo Xiao has also been quite active. Several snipers with their 88 improved sniper rifles have firmly locked onto the positions of the enemy's heavy machine guns. Any Japanese soldiers attempting to approach that area have been marked by their sniper rifles, turning into corpses still warm with life
The seventh
With a loud "smack," the snow-white glove struck Senyuan's face. Captain Kawashima turned and walked forward, saying, "You worthless fool, I will personally command the troops to launch an attack now!"
What on earth are these people? Looking at the machine gunners sprawled haphazardly within five meters of the heavy machine gun, Lieutenant Mori Gen, the deputy commander of the newly assigned Independent Guard Battalion's Second Company, was on the verge of tears. He had sent eleven machine gunners in succession to regain control of the heavy machine gun, only to have them fall victim to bullets fired from an unknown location.
"Hello, I have failed in my duties!" Sen Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly bent both legs and performed a ninety-degree bow
Knowing that Luo Xiao and his companions were not reinforcements sent from Fengtian City, Cheng Tianlei and Duan Ying realized that their group would likely have to continue fighting alone, thus they needed to carefully plan how to conduct their defense
In that era, the 88 improved sniper rifle was simply a nightmare for the opposition, as there were hardly any rifles that could compete with it, especially considering that the marksmen wielding the sniper rifles were all elite snipers from the Tiger Tooth Special Forces Brigade
"Captain, don't—" Before Senyuan could finish his words, a gunshot rang out. Captain Kawashima, who had already stepped out from behind the trees, fell to the ground limply, blood gushing from his forehead, staining the black soil of Northeast China red
Looking at the two people who appeared puzzled, Luo Xiao added, "However, you can rest assured that we are also Chinese, descendants of Yan and Huang, with the same blood running through our veins as you. Defending China is an inescapable responsibility, and if the Japanese intend to invade, we will resolutely drive them back!"
After a moment of silence, Duan was the first to speak, "Luo Xiao, I don't think you are from the Northeast Army, are you"
Thirdly, gather supplies to ensure that the soldiers have sufficient food, so that they can cope with the upcoming high-intensity battles
"Oh, Senyuan-kun is injured!" Captain Kawashima tore off his snow-white gloves and then looked at Senyuan, whose arm was draped over his neck. He nodded and said, "Hmm, you have made a great contribution!"
Duan Ying and Luo Xiao exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter
After listening to the introductions of the two individuals, Luo Xiao made several suggestions
Lieutenant Senyuan has also encountered several assassination attempts; had it not been for his good fortune in hiding behind a tree, the outcome would likely not have been limited to just a bullet piercing his left hand, but rather he would have become a cold corpse
Behind the bunker at the entrance of Beida Camp, Luo Xiao pulled the bolt of his gun and gestured with his finger at Cheng Tianlei, who was standing by in a daze
If one were to openly say that the snipers of the Chinese are too formidable, causing oneself and a group of officers to flee in panic, it is likely that Captain Kawashima would directly throw a military knife to oneself, suggesting a grand display of slaughter
Indeed, the little devils wish to occupy our China; they should stop dreaming. If I don't beat them back to their island, I won't be called Cheng Tianlei!" Cheng Tianlei clenched his fist tightly, as if the Japanese were already grasped in his palm, ready to be crushed with a gentle squeeze.
Later on, the area within five meters of the heavy machine gun was referred to by the Japanese soldiers as "Death Five Meters," deeply etched in their hearts
First, considering the number of troops under Duan Ying and Cheng Tianlei, the forces available to defend the entire Beidaying are insufficient. Once dispersed, their strength will be clearly inadequate. Therefore, it is advisable to abandon most of the camps and instead focus on defending the brigade headquarters courtyard of Beidaying, which has the most complete defensive facilities. This location is advantageous for defense, with high and thick walls, as well as several watchtowers that allow for a commanding view, where machine guns can be mounted.
However, if the report is not truthful, how can the situation on the ground be justified when so many people have witnessed it? At that time, Captain Kawashima could still throw a military knife at himself, committing the crime of falsely reporting military information!
It is indeed understandable that they have doubts, as the emergence of the Luoxiao team is quite suspicious. Moreover, their weaponry, equipment, and combat proficiency are markedly different from those of soldiers in this era; it would be strange if there were no doubts at all
In this manner, sporadic gunfire occasionally echoed across the battlefield; with each shot of the sniper rifle, an unfortunate Japanese soldier would fall to the ground
Secondly, the 2nd and 7th Brigades left in a hurry, so most of the weapons were sealed in the warehouses of various regiments and were not taken away. If these weapons fall into the hands of the Japanese soldiers, it would be tantamount to aiding the oppressors. Therefore, we should seize the opportunity presented by the death of the Japanese frontline commander to transport the weapons to the brigade headquarters. If there is truly no time to move them, we should destroy them, resolutely ensuring that not a single round of ammunition is left for the Japanese!
"Well, we are neither part of the Northeast Army nor any other warlord's troops!" Luo Xiao explained, as they would eventually find out, so there was no need to conceal it. "We are the Tiger Tooth Special Operations Team, and we have inadvertently become involved in this war!"
Luo Xiao's analysis and suggestions are clear and precisely address the urgent and critical issues at hand. Therefore, this section should be immediately approved by Cheng Tianlei, reallocating a portion of the soldiers to return to the Beidaying. This will serve to reinforce the brigade headquarters while also facilitating the relocation of supplies, effectively implementing a strategy of scorched earth against the enemy.
Just as Lieutenant Senyuan was anxiously pondering how to report to Captain Chuan Dao above, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from behind him, followed by a cold voice that said, "Senyuan, I summoned you here to command the troops in the attack, not to come here to take a nap!"
Fourth, command
"It is Captain Kawashima!" Sen Gen was so startled that his body trembled. He hurriedly jumped up from the ground and turned to salute Captain Kawashima, who had approached. "Captain, you have come in person!"
