The total length of the Black Tiger Gorge from north to south is more than several hundred miles.

The canyon is tens to hundreds of meters wide, flanked by unclimbable cliffs, and although there are places where you can climb up and down, and there are also more gentle slopes and trails up and down the canyon, the roads are also extremely rugged.

At this moment, the tentative force composed of more than 300 devil officers and soldiers descended to the bottom of the canyon from these trails, and then climbed up the canyon along the cliff wall on the west side.

The canyon here is about 100 meters wide, and in order to cover the smooth crossing of the canyon by this tentative force, Kubokurahashi led a large army to set up light and heavy machine gun positions on the east side of the canyon, and even set up several 60 mm mortars.

It was discovered that the five scout fighters of the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion did not guard the edge of the canyon, but hid on two small slopes more than 500 meters from the edge of the canyon.

After the few little devils in front of the charge climbed the cliff wall of the canyon, they did not immediately charge forward, but after looking around and finding that there was nothing suspicious, they first quickly opened a bundle of ropes that straddled their shoulders and threw them down the canyon to help their companions improve their climbing efficiency.

It then quickly set up firing points around it to cover the follow-up troops as they climbed the cliffs.

The five soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the guard battalion saw all this, did not make any further movements, and continued to silently watch the little devil climb the cliff.

It's not that they don't want to fire, it's that the closest they are to these little devils is more than 500 meters, and the farthest, even more than 700 meters.

They are not fighters of sharpshooter companies, and they do not have sniper rifles in their hands.

At such a distance, not to mention an accurate hit, even a shuttle bullet may not be able to hit a little devil.

The biggest possibility is to waste bullets and expose your own position, and then be shelled by the little devils on the other side of the canyon.

So they were waiting, waiting for these little devils to climb the cliff and then get closer before firing.

About five minutes later, more than 300 little devils of the tentative army climbed the cliff and came to the west side of the canyon.

When they realized that these little devils were planning to charge, the five members of the reconnaissance company of the guard battalion deliberately lowered their heads to dodge, and the guns were loaded into their chambers, ready to fire at any time.

Before the hillside, more than 300 devil soldiers had already entered within 500 meters, and they all advanced slowly to fast running, approaching the two small dirt slopes where the five people were hiding.

At this distance, they were already in the range of light and heavy machine gun fire, and the devils were very experienced, so they scattered in all directions, and charged quickly with a relatively scattered skirmisher line, bowing their waists and bowing their heads.

In order to rush to the effective killing range of the rifle at the fastest speed, that is, within 200 meters.

If there were enemy troops hiding in the hillside ahead, this distance would be the distance from which the two sides would have exchanged fire.

It is also the distance where the battle is most intense.

One of the devil captains hid in the crowd, constantly waving his saber and urging his subordinates to speed up.

Behind them, several notorious crooked light machine guns had been erected, ready to provide them with fire cover.

Soon, the devil's attacking force approached within 300 meters, and the five still did not move.

Scouts already belong to the category of special forces, and what is particularly needed is the ability to lurk and camouflage.

200 m ......

150 m ......

80 m ......

Until now, when they were about to break through to a range of 50 meters, the five people hiding behind the bunker could even hear the footsteps of the Japanese charge.

One of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company suddenly stood up holding an advanced enhanced version of the Bayi bar, and fired a hurried strafing shot at the several devil soldiers who were charging!

"Da Da Da ......" The gunshots rang out, and dozens of meters away, several devil soldiers fell one after another.

As he opened fire, the soldier shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, fire at me, hit me hard!"

All five of them were full of energy, waiting for this moment.

At this moment, they all opened fire, and for a while, the silent hillside that had been quiet a second ago and could be heard by falling pins suddenly burst into gunfire.

Five tongues of fire erupted from five positions on the hillside.

It was intertwined to form a not too dense network of firepower, and poured towards the charging Japanese attacking crowd, covering their heads.

"Uhh

"Uhhhh ——”

"Uhhhh ……”

Suddenly, there were many little devils, screaming and being shot and falling to the ground.

Because the distance is very close, the firepower killing effect is also very good, and in the first round of firepower strikes, five people put down more than a dozen little devils, either killed or injured.

After strafing and emptying all 30 rounds in the magazine, the five quickly crouched down and quickly moved to change positions.

These devils are worthy of being the elite part of the independent mixed Fourth Brigade, and they did not panic when they were suddenly attacked, and reacted quickly.

They searched for terrain on the spot, and even used the corpses of their own soldiers as cover. And relying on this, quickly shoot back.

Fierce battles erupt on the spot!

On the west side of the canyon, Kubokura Bridge has been stopping to watch the opposing troops.

"Baga, this branch of the army is really cunning, and it deliberately let our imperial army charge to such a close distance before firing!" Kubokurahashi couldn't help but scold.

"Your Excellency, judging from the sound of gunfire, the number of enemy troops should be only a few people, and it is not surprising that they should be enemy scouts.

In this way, our target has been exposed, so we must cross the canyon before the enemy forces arrive here, otherwise the enemy only needs to deploy one company of infantry to resist the charge of our entire wing or even brigade with the dangerous terrain here! Chief of Staff Toshio Shimada analyzed on the side.

"Yo Si! Shimada-kun's analysis is extreme! ”

After a pause, Kubokurahashi shouted: "Artillery fire suppression, the rest of the people, quickly cross the canyon!" ”

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

One after another, the shells carried the sound of "whirring" breaking through the air, and suddenly slammed down on the small dirt slope, rising a cloud of fireworks.

Fortunately, the five members of the guard battalion had been prepared in advance, and as soon as the shuttle of bullets ran out, they quickly changed their hiding position.

Otherwise, these dozen shells fell, and I was afraid that it would kill them.

Under the cover of artillery fire and their own machine guns, the Japanese tentative troops advanced quickly.

Soon, more than a dozen devil soldiers who were at the forefront of the charge rushed to within 50 meters of each other, but they were effectively wounded by the grenades of five people in the guard battalion.

As an explosion sounded, a large piece fell down.

"Yaga!"

"Attack! Sortie! Kill the chicken and give! ”

The devil captain who led the team was full of hatred, and continued to wave the saber in his hand, commanding his subordinates to charge bravely.

"Da Da Da! ——”

At that moment, several bullets whizzed towards him, hitting him in the chest with precision, and knocking out shocking bloody holes in his chest.

"Boom!"

But at this moment, a shell suddenly landed at the place where the gunshots rang out.
