Located in the northern part of the Hukang River Valley, Xinpingyang is a small valley basin in the middle of the mountains, which is in a long strip to hold the northern outlet of the Hukang River Valley, and the Tanai River flows through it in the west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the morning of February 18, 1943, in the dense forest north of Xinpingyang Town, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 13th Mountain Infantry Regiment under the 7th Prince Eugen Mountain Division of the German Waffen-SS Army quietly reached the edge of the woods with their guns in hand.

In the area of a battalion and a company, two petite figures followed behind a group of tall figures of cattle and horses.

The two are Chen Dao's two beautiful secretaries, at this time, they are wearing jungle camouflage uniforms, M35 steel helmets, and G42 semi-automatic rifles in their hands.

The originally fair faces of the two were painted with five or six green camouflage paints.

Touching the edge of the forest, the two of them only glanced at the scene outside a few times and frowned.

Outside the forest, in the farmland between the forest and the town of Shin Pingyang, there are green winter crops everywhere.

The two snipers couldn't recognize the exact crops, only that they were obscuring their vision from waist-high heights.

"Not here, we'll have to change positions." Denisha said.

Second Lieutenant Jonge looked to the left and right, and the mountain infantry were ready to go, and they were fully in combat mode.

It's not good to disturb others at this time, Second Lieutenant Jonge rolled his eyes, and suddenly looked at a big tree behind him.

The trunk of the large tree is as thick as a human being, and the foliage on it is dense enough to provide sufficient concealment.

Under the support of Second Lieutenant Jonge, Denisha carried a semi-automatic rifle on her back and climbed the tree with ease.

Climbing up the tree, Ensign Denissa's vision widened.

With the help of the scope, Dinisha saw sandbags piled up on both sides of the intersection north of Xinpingyang Town, on which heavy machine guns were erected.

From time to time, short figures in military uniforms flashed in the surrounding buildings.

On a north-south main road that runs through Xinpingyang Town, there are neat rows of mules and horses, and from time to time Japanese soldiers come out of the buildings on the side of the street and put all kinds of bags in their hands on the shelves on the backs of mules and horses.

The heads of these mules and horses were facing south, and Ensign Denissa's first feeling was that the Japanese were going to retreat.

Before the arrival of the 13th Mountain Infantry Regiment in Xinpingyang, the divisional reconnaissance battalion had encountered Japanese patrols, and the Japanese were already aware of the presence of German troops.

While waiting, Second Lieutenant Dinisha saw the Japanese army drive the mule and horse team south and disappear into the depths of the town, and became more and more sure of his judgment.

Mounting the G42 semi-automatic rifle to a tree branch, Ensign Denisha quietly waited for the battle to begin.

Beside her, Second Lieutenant Jonge pulled out his binoculars and searched for valuable sniper targets in the town.

Second Lieutenant Jonge's gaze quickly focused on a group of Japanese soldiers, who had nearly a small squad of troops, and walked along the road out of the town and straight to the north.

However, the group of devil soldiers did not go far, and suddenly stopped, and then made a uniform movement, looking up at the northern sky at a forty-five degree angle.

At this time, the roar of the plane's engine faintly sounded in the ears of Denisha and Ensign Jonge.

In the sight of the two, the ghost soldiers of the squad pointed at the northern sky for a while, suddenly quickened their pace, and trotted towards the forest on the side of the road north of the town.

The roar of the plane's engines grew louder and louder, and the devil squad got closer and closer to the forest.

Ensign Denissa's scope swayed with a crosshair, slicing over a devil's body.

This devil used to give orders to other devils on the road, and seemed to be a squad leader, and this detail quickly caught her attention.

When the devil team rushed to a distance of about fifty or sixty meters from the forest, a strange sound suddenly came from the forest.

"Sneer・・・・・・ sneer・・・・・・"

The characteristic sound of tearing the tarpaulin when the MG42 opened fire kicked off the battle.

As soon as Ensign Denisha heard the sound of machine gun, he saw the thick and short body of the devil squad leader in the scope, spewing out a cloud of blood in a strange way, and he broke into two pieces at waist level and fell to the ground.

Under the frightened gaze of Ensign Denissa, the upper body of the devil squad leader stubbornly crawled on the ground with his hands for two or three meters, and a pile of colorful internal organs was dragged out behind his body before lying on the ground motionless.

Ensign Denisa's mind went blank for the first time in actual combat, staring blankly at the corpse on the ground until a crisp gunshot rang out in her ears, pulling her back to reality.

The devil team was ambushed, and the corpses were scattered all over the field in an instant, and none of them survived.

The distant town of New Pingyang was also in flames at this time, and Stuka dive bombers and ME-109 fighters launched a reckless dive, pouring fire on the ground.

Second Lieutenant Denisha came back to his senses, hurriedly turned his gun to Xinpingyang Town, and after a little search, he saw a Japanese soldier crossing the road north of the town.

After the crosshair of the scope followed the Japanese soldier sideways for some distance, Second Lieutenant Denisha pulled the trigger, and the Japanese soldier fell headlong into the farmland on the side of the road.

When he hit, Second Lieutenant Denisha was shaken and felt that the real battle seemed to be not much different from that on the training ground.

The enemy in the town seemed to be dodging the air raids, and not many were running around, and Ensign Denisha waited patiently until the air raids were over.

After the fighters in the air finished dropping their bombs and began to return one after another, a continuous whistle suddenly sounded in the forest.

The mountain infantry rushed out of the forest, into the farmland, and charged the town of Xinpingyang.

Seeing the departure of the German fighters, the surviving Japanese troops in the town became active again, and they drilled out of the trenches and various low-lying areas one after another, holding various weapons and began to resist, and the sound of guns and cannons instantly enveloped Xinpingyang Town.

Second Lieutenant Denissa's second target was the machine-gun emplacement at the intersection of the town, and after a brief aim, he pulled the trigger.

The machine gunner, who was firing frantically with the Type 92 heavy machine gun, suddenly burst out with a ball of blood on his right wrist, and then fell to the ground with his broken wrist and rolled and howled, and was quickly dragged aside by his comrades.

Another Japanese shooter took over the operation of the machine gun, and just after firing a round of bullets, his head jerked back, and he fell to the ground with a bullet hole in his right cheek.

A mortar shell flew in, filled with smoke, and completely ended the machine-gun position.

The Germans outside the town soon rushed through the open field and poured into the town.

"I can't find my target." Ensign Denisha shouted.

"I can't find it either, let's go up." Second Lieutenant Jonge shouted.

The two reached a consensus, quickly slipped down the tree, and charged with their guns.

As he reached the entrance of the town, Ensign Denisha suddenly remembered that the first Japanese soldier he had sniped had fallen here, and he couldn't help but slow down to take a look at the corpse.

A few seconds later, when Ensign Denisha found the corpse, he suddenly felt dazzled, and the corpse seemed to be moving slowly.

When I looked at the body again, it was motionless again.

Walking up to the corpse, Ensign Denisa first stabbed the corpse with the muzzle of the gun, and then provoked the corpse at the waist with his foot to see which part of the corpse he had hit.

As soon as her right foot touched the corpse's waist, the corpse suddenly turned over and sat up, grabbed the barrel of the gun with her left hand and dragged it to the left side of her body, and stabbed her left waist with her right hand brandishing a shiny bayonet.

Suddenly encountering the "corpse", Ensign Denisha screamed, subconsciously let go of the semi-automatic rifle in his hand and stepped back, panicked and cold, slipped and fell to the ground.

This subconscious action saved her life, and the Japanese soldier who pretended to be dead did not expect the other party to suddenly let go, and the arm that pulled the barrel of the gun in his left hand was too strong, and his body involuntarily fell backwards to the ground.

The two sat up from the ground almost at the same time, and the Japanese soldier stood up, dragging his wounded right leg, and limped towards Denisha, the bayonet in his right hand flashing a cold light.

Behind the sword light, a cruel smile appeared on the hideous face, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of killing in advance.

However, the smile quickly froze, and then despair.

Behind Second Lieutenant Denissa, Second Lieutenant Jonge held a semi-automatic rifle on his shoulder, staring coldly at the Japanese soldier opposite, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

The Japanese soldier's gaze shifted between the muzzle of the gun pointed at him and Ensign Denisa on the ground, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The confrontation was quickly broken, and when Ensign Dinisha saw that the Japanese soldiers did not move, his right hand was wiped from his waist, and he had an extra PPK pistol in his hand like a trick.

Holding the gun in both hands, Second Lieutenant Denisha subconsciously aimed at the crotch of the Japanese soldier and pulled the trigger according to the instructions of a certain superior.

With a bang, the bayonet in the Japanese soldier's hand fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground with his hands on his crotch, and a series of meaningless moans came out of his mouth.

A second gunshot rang out, and Second Lieutenant Jonge put an end to the Japanese soldier's suffering.

Putting away his gun, Second Lieutenant Jonge lifted Second Lieutenant Denisha on the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts・・・・・・" Second Lieutenant Denisha let out a series of screams before he realized that he had a bloody mark on the outside of his left thigh.

"Sanitary soldiers, sanitary soldiers." Second Lieutenant Jonge shouted.

An episode made two rookie snipers who were new to the battlefield fail to catch up with the street fight.

As Second Lieutenant Denisha saw, the Japanese troops in the town were preparing to retreat, and the will to fight was not very resolute, and after a little resistance, they fled to the rear, leaving behind the corpses and wounded soldiers, and the mountain infantry easily gained control of the town of Xinpingyang.

In the afternoon, two FI-156 reconnaissance planes crossed the New Plains Ocean and flew south.

In the jungle in the southern valley of the New Plains, a road flashed.

At about two o'clock, a FI-156 reconnaissance plane appeared in the sky and flew south along the open road.

When the reconnaissance plane flew to the south, it did not know that countless pairs of eyes were watching it in the dense forests on both sides of the road.

Soldiers of the 56th Wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army were secretly marching north along the Hukang River valley to prepare to support the 55th Wing, which was fighting on the front line.

Behind them, the headquarters of the 18th Division and the 114th Wing were also moving north, stationed in the Mengguan area, ready to support the battle ahead.
