More and more soldiers of the 55th Division came out to surrender, which made the officers and men of the independent 1st Division in the position cheer in unison, and the 55th Division, which had lost almost all its veterans, had long lost its fighting spirit, and as more and more Japanese soldiers surrendered, some low-ranking officers of the 55th Division finally appeared in the crowd raising the white flag. As the commander of the 55th Division, Takeuchi Kuan chose to commit suicide by disembowelment, he also wanted to surrender, but he knew that he couldn't, if he surrendered, his family in the homeland would be implicated, so he could only choose to apologize to the emperor.

From the beginning of the Japanese army's invasion of China after the July 7 Incident to the present, although the Chinese army that has risen up to resist has also captured Japanese prisoners of war, it has never captured more than 2,000 Japanese prisoners of war at one time, and even some of these Japanese prisoners of war are officers. The officers and men of the desperate 55th Division mistakenly thought that it was the British army who besieged them, so they chose to surrender to the independent army, of course, they burned the radio code book and the military flag, but a reconnaissance company of the 1st Independent Division still captured a wing flag from the Japanese army.

This was the end of the siege of the 55th Division, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which had been blocked by the 2nd Independent Division and could not go north, did not escape the fate of being encircled, and the subsequent 3rd Independent Division directly attacked the 13th Division from the flank, and the 2nd and 3rd Independent Divisions that fought together were like two claws, tearing the 13th Division's return to pieces. In the face of rocket artillery vehicles and extremely powerful modified combat vehicles equipped by the Independent Army, the 13th Division finally chose to take the initiative to retreat in order to widen the distance between itself and the enemy.

Rocket artillery, white phosphorus bombs, armored assaults, and air fire support, which was not very strong but could crush the psychological superiority of the Japanese army, the independent 2nd and 3rd divisions that fought together used all their strength, relying on their mechanized ability and firepower superiority to force the 13th Division to withdraw again and again, until the soldiers of the 13th Division ran out of physical strength. Knowing that the Japanese 13th Division was also forced to retreat, Zhuo Fei was not too excited in his heart, because he knew that the independent 2nd and 3rd divisions that forced the 13th Division to retreat were nothing more than relying on the superiority in numbers and weapons. If it weren't for the fact that the 13th Division was not adapted to this tactical style of play of the Independent Army, perhaps the Second or Third Independent Division might have been defeated, after all, there were more veterans in the 13th Division than in the 55th Division.

Takakawa Shino, with the rank of lieutenant, a veteran, was transferred from the Kwantung Army to the 13th Division for his outstanding performance and has served for four years. Transferred to the 13th Division, Takakawa Shino was a sniper of the Kwantung Army, in the battle with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation and bandits, Takakawa Shino had a super excellent performance of shooting 76 people in a battle, and was nicknamed the Grim Reaper by his companions. Because of his excellent performance, Takakawa Shino was favored by the troops of the Southern Front, and after complicated procedures, he was transferred from the Kwantung Army to the Southern Front Corps.

At the beginning of the transfer, Takakawa Shino applied to be able to bring his sniper rifle to the southern front troops, so with Takakawa Shino from the Kwantung Army south, there was also the Type 97 sniper rifle that had followed him for many years. As a sniper specially drawn from the Kwantung Army, Takakawa Shino enjoyed high-standard treatment in the 13th Division, not only was his rank promoted from the previous second lieutenant to lieutenant, but he was also ordered to form a sniper team in his wing and wander outside the wing command system.

Outside the wing command system, which means that the sniper squad formed by Takakawa Shino can go out to fight alone in a sense, and only need to report to the wing command. This kind of independent command of the sniper squad was something Takakawa Shino did not have when he was in the Kwantung Army, and Takakawa Shino knew that if the sniper squad he brought fought properly and performed well, the dream of being a general in his heart would no longer be out of reach.

Of course, all this is just Takakawa Shino's reverie, the development of things did not go as smoothly as he imagined, the first time to the 13th Division, after Takakawa Shino's efforts, it was not easy to form a prototype of 12 sniper squads, and the 13th Division that was ordered to go north was met by the enemy. Takakawa Shino had the intention of taking his newly formed sniper squad out to fight, but in this kind of battle where the two troops were thousands of meters apart and only used artillery to bombard, the role of snipers was minimal.

Before Takakawa Shino and his sniper recruits were familiar with the surrounding terrain and mountains, his 13th Division encountered a strong fire attack by the enemy, and the soldiers of the 13th Division were even more frightened by the heavy artillery fire, and after receiving the order to retreat, everyone just retreated. With the idea of a long and short term with the enemy, Takakawa Shino slowly fell to the back with his sniper team, Takakawa Shino, who was used to the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, never knew what fear was, and he planned to teach a lesson to the enemy army behind him who were constantly pursuing.

Snipers generally act in small groups, but Takakawa likes to be alone, so he doesn't have a secondary shooter, which is his choice and his privilege as the leader of the sniper team. Without a sub-shooter, everything has to come in person, and Takakawa Shino is kneeling on one knee at the moment, using a telescope to search the target area directly ahead. Today's weather is good, sunny and windless, and it's a good day for sniping battles. Takakawa Shino, who has not participated in actual combat for a long time, hopes to have a high-intensity battle today, and it is best to turn his shooting record into a new number.

Finally, Takakawa Shino's telescope found the enemy's figure, and dozens of enemy stragglers were slowly coming towards him. Through the binoculars in his hand, Takakawa Shino felt that the enemies in front of him were no different from those he had encountered before, although the tactical movements were used more frequently, but they were the same old routine of the army. Crawling forward, getting up, the cat swooped down and rushed forward. Then continue to crawl to the ground and crawl forward. If there is a difference, it may be the weapons and equipment of the enemy soldiers, after all, they are wearing military uniforms that Takakawa Shino has never seen.

The enemy soldiers who appeared in the distance looked careful, but Takakawa Shino didn't care at all, he had fought a lot, and he only knew that the rookie who rushed with his head down was no different from the old bird who knew that he used evasive moves to advance, and whoever he wanted to die, he would definitely die. The enemy was still far away, a thousand meters away, so Takakawa Shino did not rush to put down the binoculars and grab the rifle, he had to wait for the enemy to enter the range before holding the gun. Now, it's better to observe the enemy's movement habits more, and after finding out the enemy's movement patterns, it will be more convenient to shoot later.

Looking at the squad members who were on their sides as if they were facing a big enemy, one by one they began to grasp the sniper rifles and prepare to shoot, Takakawa Shino sighed from the bottom of his heart, rookies are rookies. Although the dozen or so snipers under his command are called snipers, they are rookies who have not been in actual combat, and the enemy is still out of range, so what are you nervous about now. Takakawa's sniper rifle has an effective range of 800 meters, but if he puts the enemy within a range of 600 meters, he will be more sure, so it is not too late for Takakawa to wait for the enemy to come within 800 meters before starting to aim.

A veteran is a veteran, a recruit is a recruit, and a recruit who has undergone severe training is still a recruit, Takakawa Shino is very calm and leisurely, and his team members can't keep it easy, but Takakawa Shino's calm appearance makes his team members look at it, and they also begin to stabilize from the slightly flustered mood when they found the enemy. At this time, Takakawa Shino, who has rich combat experience, can bring experience to the players who lack actual combat and play a great role in his team.

Takakawa Shino's performance made his team members feel a lot more at ease, and the deputy shooter of a sniper team who was more than ten meters away from Takakawa Shino even whispered to him: "Captain Takakawa, do you want to have a match, see who we have better results today, how about it?" Takakawa nodded with a smile, for the challenge proposed by his teammates, Takakawa Shino, as the captain, was happy to accept, and being able to say the words that challenged him showed that his teammates had relaxed from their tension.

As a veteran soldier, Takakawa knew that it was not enough to infect others with his calm performance at this time, and he also needed to encourage them at this time and let them relax completely. Takakawa Shino then smiled and said: "Okay, then let's compete, let's talk first, whoever loses will have a treat, believe me, you can't win......" Takakawa Shino didn't finish his words, so he opened his mouth in shock, because the deputy shooter who looked up and talked to him was spraying this blood arrow from his neck.

There was an extra hole in the neck of the deputy shooter who was talking to Takakawa Shino, and blood was spraying out of the hole at the moment, instantly staining a large area of land in front of the shooter red. Seeing that the secondary shooter who was talking to him became a corpse, and the blood spurted out fell to the ground, Takakawa Shino heard several dull gunshots in a row. Hearing the gunshot, Takakawa Shino, whose brain was blank, woke up shockedly, and then he realized that it was not only the secondary shooter who died in front of him, but also the main shooter lying on the side, and the bullet entered from his shoulder, breaking the left chest cavity of the entire upper body.

"Damn it, damn it." Takakawa Shino, who had already come to his senses, immediately lay on the ground, and it was not until he grabbed his Type 97 sniper rifle that the coldness in his body gradually receded. How did the enemy find out about these people? When did the enemy shoot? A series of questions filled Takakawa Shino's head, but he couldn't think of an answer even if he wanted to break his head.
