The enemy's marching ranks have changed, and now they are moving in three formations. Although it seemed to be safe, the field was no better than the main road, and the squads on both flanks seriously dragged down the advance of the brigade.

Of course, this also added trouble to Shen Chen's sniping. Although the enemy on the left flank was close to him, he was no longer satisfied with taking out some small shrimps.

Shen Chen thought for a moment, and did not rush back to meet Zhao Tie and the others, but moved parallel to the enemy.

It is said that it is moving in parallel, but in fact, Shen Chen is lagging behind the enemy's front team and squadron, getting closer and closer to the enemy's rear team.

More than a dozen carts, driven by the Imperial Army, this is the enemy's means of transport. It can be seen that the enemy's attack was also relatively hasty and reluctant.

At the end of the enemy brigade, there is a small squad of devils in formation, lest they be attacked by the enemy.

Shen Chen observed with a telescope, and a bad idea came to his mind again.

These carts are not only loaded with ammunition and supplies, but also a lot of wounded and corpses of devils.

Without the animals to pull the carts, the enemy would have to pull them with people, which was not only laborious, but also slow, and took up more manpower.

In other words, this is similar to wounding the enemy so that he is forced to divide his manpower to take care of it.

It's just a pity for these animals! Shen Chen didn't have the slightest mercy when he killed the enemy, but he felt guilty about these animals.

Gunshots and explosions rang out ahead, and the troops led by Zhao Tie and Liu Biao used the mine array to start another round of deterrent attacks.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy stopped advancing, Shen Chen found a good position, slowly stretched out the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at the cattle pulling the cart.

"Smack!" Shots rang out, and the bullet hit the butt of a pack horse accurately, but it was not fatal for a while.

The pack horse neighed in pain, pulled the cart and rushed forward, knocking the enemy who was caught off guard in front of him and staggering, and a cry of surprise.

Shen Chen quickly pulled the bolt, quickly aimed, and fired quickly.

With such a big target as an animal, and not like a human being, he knows how to lie down and hide, so Shen Chen is of course easy to fight. Moreover, whether it is dead or injured, as long as it hits, Shen Chen does not have to be strict.

The screams of the cattle came and went, and several carts went on a rampage as if they were crazy. Injured animals are almost as frightened as they are, and it is almost impossible to shout for them to be safe.

Cattle running and screaming, carts overturned in roadside ditches, knocked down and injured enemies, throwing the enemy's rear into confusion.

The more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it is for Shen Chen. He quickly changed his magazines and fired bullets at the targets he could hit, whether they were people or animals.

In the chaos, the enemy appeared a little sluggish. But after a short delay, the devils in the battle caught up and found that an attacker was casting a cold gun.

Although, due to the distance, the enemy could not accurately determine where the attackers were hiding, they began to shoot back at suspicious targets, possible hiding places.

At this moment, the enemy in front was blocked, and he did not know what was happening behind, and thought that the rear guard was under fierce attack.

The attack was temporarily stopped, and Ono sent someone to inquire about the situation.

And Shen Chen ran out of magazines, but he no longer fell in love with the battle, and quietly retreated with the two veterans.

Three carts overturned on the side of the road, heavy loads of supplies were scattered on the ground, and a cartload of wounded people was thrown to the ground, groaning, screaming in pain, and cursing.

In addition, the cold gun also killed three enemies, and more than a dozen unlucky people were injured by car and trampled by livestock.

When Ono got the report, he was so angry that he fainted. This sudden attack of cold guns and mines is really impossible to prevent.

According to the original plan, it should have arrived at Little Elm Village by this time. Looking at the sky, it is estimated that I am still walking on the road after dark.

Now, Ono is faced with a dilemma. Whether to move on, or to stop and recuperate, or to end the operation and withdraw the troops.

If, as before, even if the enemy's main force stubbornly resists, that is what Ono wants. Originally, I was going to fight with my opponents, and I was afraid that they would avoid the battle and hide!

If, as before, the opponent avoids the battle, but allows the troops to wantonly set fire to and destroy, then it can be regarded as partially achieving the purpose.

But now, the cost of burning down a village is not worth it, and should the operation be continued?

When the loss situation was initially clarified, Ono's heart was even more hesitant.

The main losses in this small attack were carts, livestock, and transport. This is a big impact on the troops, who have been operating continuously for several days.

The number of wounded and the number of casualties increased, and it was only by relying on these carts that they could move with the troops, so that the troops could maintain the strength to continue the attack and advance.

Of course, it is not impossible to replace people to push and pull. However, the speed is not fast, and it takes up a lot of manpower, which is equivalent to reducing the number of combatants in disguise.

And the reason why Ono didn't want to move forward the most was actually not Shen Chen's cold sniping, but the unguardable landmines.

If there were no mines, the devil could naturally chase after him, forcing Shen Chen to run; If there were no landmines, neither the regular troops nor the local armed forces would be able to intercept and harass them.

The devil is not afraid of face-to-face combat, but he is afraid and dazed by this treacherous killing weapon, and he does not dare to carry out various tactical actions with confidence and boldness.

There are too few sappers, and the mine detection equipment is too backward. All this makes the devils feel caught off guard and difficult to deal with after the widespread use of landmines.

Ono suddenly found that he had already retreated in his heart. It's just suppressed by tenacious persistence and the desire for revenge, but he has never come up with a solution.

Now, all the unfavorable factors added up to finally expose the true thoughts in his heart.

"Repel the obstacles ahead, and-" Ono frowned, finally made up his mind and waved his hand fiercely, "Retreat." ”

It was a very unexpected decision to retreat, but to attack forward and force the enemy to retreat. It is conceivable that the enemy's combat mode is only a distance to retreat, and then it is necessary to occupy favorable terrain to deter it.

In this case, although there is a price to pay for repelling the enemy, the retreat is sudden, and the enemy cannot react immediately and turn back in pursuit.

In the confusion, a devil squad leader accepted the order, still forcing the Imperial Allied Army to move forward, and launched an attack on the enemy blocking the main road in front.

Ono's feint not only puzzled his subordinates, but also made Zhao Tie and Liu Biao not aware of the enemy's next move.

It's no wonder that devils are usually rigid and tough when it comes to carrying out orders and actions, and they don't change because of accidents and setbacks.

Starting from Yushu Village, the enemy's losses from the attack were not large, and most of them were Imperial Cooperative Army, so how could they suddenly retreat?

Zhao Tie and Liu Biao didn't realize it, but Shen Chen kept an eye on the enemy's middle and rear team, and did not rush to join the brigade, but he was aware of the enemy's movements.

"The enemy is retreating?!" Shen Chen was not very sure, and handed the telescope to the veteran next to him.

The two veterans looked at it with binoculars for a moment and felt very similar. But whether the enemy wanted to retreat a little, set up camp while night still fell, or retreat all the way to the stronghold, they were not sure.

"I think we can wait and see before we inform our people." One veteran decided to take the safe approach.

Another veteran blinked and said, "Can you notify me first?" Let them also send people to watch the movements of the enemy, and not to retreat too far. ”

Shen Chen took a look at this, looked at that, and said in his heart: I'm waiting for the two of you to make an idea, why are you two still different?

The two veterans also felt a little bit like that, and couldn't help but scratch their heads and laugh.

Shen Chen also laughed twice and said, "I think, let's trouble Brother Zhang to inform me first, so that our people don't retreat too far, and leave a few people to pay more attention." Brother Wang and I will wait a little longer to see what the enemy is going to do, and then let Brother Wang go back and inform. ”

The two veterans glanced at each other and nodded a little helplessly.

Okay! Both ideas are equivalent to being adopted, the first notice will go, and then wait and see that it is good to lie here.

The veteran, surnamed Zhang, had just walked for a while when he heard the sound of gunfire weakening.

Zhao Tie and Liu Biao did not want to defend the hard resistance, using the preset mines, with the help of favorable terrain and fortifications, after giving the enemy casualties, they naturally led the team to retreat and retreat to the next line of defense.

When the enemy saw that his objective had been achieved, and that the rear was almost well organized, he began to retreat slowly, leaving only a part of the soldiers to occupy the opponent's position, to be responsible for monitoring, and to try not to detect the opponent's turn.

Shen Chen and the veteran surnamed Wang quietly sneaked in parallel, and the enemy was the rear team that changed to the front team, and they also became the front team staring at the enemy, so that they could see the enemy's behavior clearly.

After retreating past the Great Elm Village, which was still still unextinguished, the sky was getting darker, but the enemy did not stop and continued to retreat.

The darker the sky, the more favorable it was for Shen Chen and the others to sneak around, and the more obvious the signs of the enemy became.

"Brother Wang, hurry up and inform our people!" Shen Chen felt that he could basically make a judgment now, so he turned to the veteran and said.

The veteran surnamed Wang hesitated, he wanted to report the news, but only Shen Chen was left, which seemed to be inconsistent with the order he received at the beginning.

"Don't worry, I'll follow from afar, don't take risks." Shen Chen guessed the veteran's thoughts and said, "If the team can catch up in time, maybe they can leave some more enemy dogs!" ”

The veteran surnamed Wang looked at Shen Chen and said, "In that case, you just wait here, waiting for the team to catch up." ”

"Okay!" Shen Chen happily agreed, and pointed to the big tree next to him with a thoughtful attitude, "There are three big trees here, which are quite easy to recognize." ”

The veteran surnamed Wang carefully distinguished, and then gave another instruct before turning around and leaving, and soon disappeared into the night.

Shen Chen's gaze turned to the main road, narrowing slightly, and it seemed to flash a fine light. The price, although it can't stop the devil's destruction, but they must pay the price, the price of blood.

Moreover, the devil's official, he has been thinking about it, and he will do his best to make this devil unable to escape his life......

And there is only one way for a sniper to kill someone, and that is to pull the trigger at the right time and let the bullet hit the target.

There are no dazzling tricks, no thanks and appearances after victory, only murderous opportunities hidden in the shadows, only ghostly silence.

At this time, Ono was leading the troops to continue to advance, and after passing the Great Elm Village, he mounted his horse. That's right, it's not that he doesn't have a horse, but after listening to Matsumoto's reminder, he hasn't ridden it all the time.

Now, Ono feels safe. The enemy and the sharpshooter have been left far behind, how can they catch up and shoot at him!

But Ono's mind was never calm, and he frowned slightly on the horse, thinking all the time.

Speed, it's too slow. Without modern vehicles, the mobility advantage of the Imperial Army was completely unplayed.

Marching on two legs alone is a great way for enemies who are good at diverting and avoiding battle, and can very calmly avoid the attacks of the imperial army. Coupled with mines, it is even more impedimentary to the speed of maneuver of troops.

The enemy is obviously using mines to curb the mobility and speed superiority of the imperial army, and the imperial army does not have an advantage in numbers, and although the level of equipment and combat quality surpasses that of the enemy, it is difficult for it to have an upright combat opportunity.

If the railroad is the main artery, then the highway is the small blood vessel of the imperial army. Relying on the smooth passage of the main arteries, the imperial army occupied most of China. However, if the small blood vessels were blocked, the actual control of the imperial army could not be extended to all parts of the country, which also gave room for anti-Japanese armed activities.

Ono sighed secretly, this search and suppression operation, called punishment, is more like an armed parade of the imperial army.

Except at the beginning, the enemy was somewhat caught off guard and resisted several times in order to gain time. The subsequent battles made our army very unfamiliar and unadaptable.

Ono thought a lot, but he didn't expect that a persistent killer was staring at him from a distance, and the killing machine that was about to burst out was as sudden and unguarded as lightning and thunder.

Don't look at the dark, Shen Chen's night eyes gave him an unequal competition environment with the devil. Moreover, he also noticed the officer on horseback among the enemy.

The target had been found, Shen Chen sped up his movement, found a sniper position, stretched out the muzzle of the gun, calmed his breath, and waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

From an oblique angle, Ono almost walked parallel to Shen Chen's sniper position, but Shen Chen didn't find an opportunity.

His head spun rapidly, and his eyes narrowed slowly. Then, he reached out and gently pulled the bolt of the gun, manually replacing it with an original 38 bullet.

Ono reappeared, and Shen Chen immediately locked on his head. Although there was soon another enemy blocking Ono, Shen Chen had already calculated the speed of the target's advance, the muzzle of the gun moved slowly, and his finger was placed on the board machine.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Of course, you also have to have this ability, otherwise the opportunity may be wasted in your hands.

Shen Chen took a deep breath and held his breath. Although the muzzle of the gun was moving slowly, his hands were extremely stable, his shoulders were extremely stable, and his waist was extremely stable. From the back, it looks like a sculpture, only the base is gently turning.
