The troops began to march towards Sichuan, but there was no danger along the way, and they entered the hinterland of Sichuan, so we will not go into details.

The duel between Shen Shaofan and Koga Rokuro was over, but his battle with the Japanese invaders was over, and he had to continue fighting, so he headed towards Manchuan Pass, and the road he chose was almost all mountains and jungles in order to avoid the interrogation and interception of his Japanese army. Shaofan walked in the mountains for seven days and nights, and then came to the border between Henan and Hubei.

The sound of running water came from the mountains, Shaofan squatted on the riverside, freshening up the haze of the early morning, he washed his face with the cold river water, and then looked around himself, and understood in his heart that he was very close to Manchuan Pass, of course, at this time, he didn't know that Su Li's independent column came to Manchuan Pass in order to meet him, and at the same time, there was also a brigade of devils led by Takagi Yoshito, but Takagi Yoshito's brigade of devils was not the closest danger to Shen Shaofan, At this time, Shaofan would not have known that in the woods a hundred meters away from him, there was a patrol of devils coming towards the river.

This patrol is subordinate to the daily patrol team of the local Japanese army, a unit unit set up to prevent guerrillas in the mountains, Shen Shaofan is quite familiar with the jungle in the mountains, and when he saw a frightened bird in the forest in the distance, he knew that there was an unusual situation, and immediately looked around, looked around the surrounding environment, and took his own sniper steps, crossed the shallow talk of the river in the mountains, and hid in a dense jungle, quietly waiting for the unusual from the woods.

According to Shaofan's experience in individual combat, if you find an abnormal situation in an unfamiliar environment, you can't evacuate recklessly or leave without a plan, so it is very easy to be discovered by enemies who are dozens or even hundreds of times more than you, and the best way is to hide in a safe place and wait for changes, so that you can not only protect yourself well, but also see what the abnormal situation is.

Shaofan hid in the jungle and looked at the river with a telescope for about a while, after about a while, he could vaguely hear the ghost cursing in Japanese, and after a while, he could see that the ghost came to the river, and at the same time there were several ragged Chinese, Shaofan could already clearly see that most of the Chinese who were escorted by the devil were all the Eighth Route Army, and a few of them were ordinary people, and the devil drove those middle **** people and the people with bayonets on the three or eight big covers, and they were abusing them with vicious words. Shen Shaofan knew Japanese, and he could vaguely hear a conversation between a Shaozo and a Japanese soldier, who were preparing to execute these Eighth Route Army and ordinary people by the river.

Shaofan suddenly became nervous when he heard this, although there are not many devils by the river, but once he shoots, his whereabouts will definitely be exposed, which will attract more devils, and it will be very difficult for him to completely get out of this mountain at that time, but if he doesn't shoot, he can save himself, but the lives of the few ** people and the people in front of him will disappear in front of his eyes in an instant, looking at the unyielding eyes of those Eighth Route Army and the smug smile of the devils, Shaofan seems to have understood what he should do next.

He took strong cover behind the rocky bushes, took a deep breath with his Mauser T99 sniper rifle, and looked through the crosshairs. At this time, all the devils by the river were within his range and none of them had any experience in counter-sniping, and some were washing their faces by the river; Some of them smoked in groups of three or five, some guarded the Eighth Route Army with rifles, there were twelve devils, led by a young officer, equipped with a crooked handle, and the rest were rifles. Shaofan calculated the wind direction and wind force, and was sure to kill all the devils by the river with twelve shots one by one, of course, his first target was the Shaozuo officer.

Time did not allow him to think too much, because the devil drove and beat those Eighth Route Army and ordinary people with the butt of his gun, and went towards a clearing by the river, Shaofan immediately understood what the devil was going to do, because the execution was about to begin, he immediately moved the cross dividing line to the body of the devil, and as the devil Shaozuo walked back and forth, it also swayed back and forth.

At this time, the devils will know that a ghost-like sniper step has locked them, and the person who controls this sniper step is the most feared 'iron-blooded ghost' in Japan. The title of 'iron-blooded ghost' was given to him by the devil when Shaofan was in Nanjing, because when Shaofan fell in Nanjing, the ghost who relied on the sniper in his hand to kill the ghost was scattered, and when he was in Nanjing, Shaofan was like a ghost, his sniper rifle made many devils dare not dare to go out on the street, in the rubble, in the pile of dead people, in the scorching house, there was no 'iron-blooded ghost' figure, one shot at a bullet, one bullet was missing, and the devil was terrified.

At this time, the 'iron-blooded ghost' once again let the devil understand what fear is, and the sound of a bullet whistling passed through the cold wind in the mountains and forests, and before the young officer could react, he felt that his chest was hot, and the whole person was already covered, and he was carried on the edge of the river beach and never got up again. This shot was very obvious, that is, there were snipers nearby, but those devils lost the command of the officer Shaozo, and began to shoot indiscriminately into the woods, and the crooked handles were also shooting without any clear target. Then another shot was fired, and the Devil's machine gunner was killed, and the gunfire was crisp and clean, without hesitation, and after each shot, a Devil fell.

At first, the soldiers and civilians of the Eighth Route Army who were captured by the devils did not react, and after a few devils were killed by Lisuo's marksmanship, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army seemed to see a Tang and shouted: "Everyone lie on the ground and don't move!" As soon as the words fell, everyone lay on the ground, and at this time, there were only devils screaming and running and shooting on the river beach. In this way, Shaofan does not need to scruple about accidentally injuring the sniper steps in the hands of the Chinese, almost like scattering flowers. When the devils found Shaofan's hiding place, there were only four or five people left in a dozen devils, and there was no cover of crooked handles, and the 38 big cover in the hands of the devils was not the opponent of the Mauser T98 sniper rifle in Shaofan's hand at all, they rushed all the way towards the river, and they saw Shaofan's sniper step fired two shots in a row, and quickly replaced it with an MP40 submachine gun, and shot wildly at the desperate devils.

In just a few minutes, the battle quickly ended with the death of all the devils, Shaofan slowly got up from behind the cover in the jungle rocks, raised his right hand holding a gun above his head, signaling that he was a friend or foe, and a soldier of the Eighth Route Army also raised a hand with a clenched fist in response, and everyone gathered on the river beach.

When Shaofan came to the river beach, he found that those Eighth Route Army were the soldiers of the reconnaissance team of Liu Zhizhao and Huang Huancheng's troops, and one of them was still the captain Shi Dagen. After asking carefully, I learned that Liu Zhizhao and Huang Huancheng came out of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the troops were divided into two roads, one way, Youzhao led a large army back to Yan'an, and the other way, Youhuancheng led to stay in the border between Henan and Hubei and insisted on fighting guerrillas, Shi Dagen's reconnaissance team was not long ago encountered by a patrol detachment of the devils, and the devils wrestled for seven days and nights, and the ammunition was exhausted, and then the devils threatened the lives of the local people before the devils were captured, fortunately, they met Shaofan on the river beach to pick up a life.

Shen Shaofan heard this and asked, "Then where is your base?" ”

Shi Dagen said: "It's just a short distance in front of the land ridge. ”

Shen Shaofan thought that he would go to the land ridge after passing the Manchuan Pass, and just happened to meet his old classmates, so he could ask about Jin Xiwen's current situation, and when he thought of this, he said, "I want to meet Huancheng." ”

Shi Dagen said with joy when he heard this: "Then our captain is happy." He called the soldiers to collect the devil's weapons and set out on the road with Shaofan.

Land ridge is located in the northwest end of Hubei protrusion embedded in Shaanxi Province, condescendingly can overlook Manchuan Pass, Manchuan Pass is an important pass at the junction of Hubei and Henan, has always been a must to enter Hanzhong, has always been a place to fight for soldiers, 19 years ** Red Army Fourth Front Army has been here with the Kuomintang army blood station for two days and three nights. Because of the importance of Manchuan Pass, the land ridge that can overlook the entire Manchuan Pass has become a very important place for troops, and Huang Huancheng's troops are stationed in the land ridge.

As soon as Shen Shaofan entered the Land Ridge, he saw that Huang Huancheng was already waiting for Shaofan at the door of an earthen house, and when he saw Shaofan, he smiled and hugged Shaofan, patted Shaofan, and said, "Son, you are still alive." ”

"Haha!" Shen Shaofan said with a smile: "The devil who wants to kill me is probably not reincarnated yet!" ”

Huang Huancheng said while welcoming Shaofan into the earth house: "This war zone and even the whole of China know that you sniped the Japanese gun god Koga Sixteen, and you are now a big hero in our anti-Japanese war zone!" ”

When Shaofan heard this, he suddenly thought of the sniper scene between Eagle Cliff and Jiahe Sixteenlang, and smiled slightly bitterly: "What hero is not a hero?" I just did my duty as a mid-class person. ”

Huang Huancheng smiled: "You! It's just how arrogant! While busy pouring water for Shaofan, he said, "You don't have to be polite when you come to me." I've asked the guards to prepare the bath water for you, so you'll take a shower and have two drinks with me. ”

Shen Shaofan didn't respond politely, he fell asleep on Huang Huancheng's marching bed, no wonder Shaofan hadn't slept a peaceful sleep since the Eagle Cliff, and when he reached Huang Huancheng's realm, he naturally felt at ease, and he entered the dream as soon as he pillowed the edge of the bed.

On the edge of the river beach in the middle of the mountain, where the sound of gunfire had just been heard, a group of Japanese soldiers surrounded the place, three layers inside, and an officer of Nakasa and an officer of Osa, looking at a row of Japanese corpses on the edge of the riverbank.

Officer Osa's name was Yoshito Takagi, and he looked at the gunshot wound on the soldier's body and said to Officer Nakasa: "It seems to be Shen Shaofan's masterpiece." I think we're pretty close to where we want to be. ”

"Hmmm! Gao Mujun used to have a place called Diling from here, where there was a group of Tuba Road, so would Shen Shaofan go to Diling? The officer said on the side.

The officer of Zhongzuo is called Wu Teng Muzhai is the commander of the 15th division of the Japanese army, and the Muto Wing is stationed in the west of the country, and this unit and Shen Shaofan's National Youth League also have a very heavy holiday, during the Battle of Songhu, the Muto Wing was blocked on the Huangpu River by a company of Shaofan's National Youth League west of the Suzhou Creek, A wing was blocked by a company of the Chinese army, a full twelve, and when it became a laughing stock in the Japanese army, plus when he was in Nanjing, his troops were defeated again by the National Youth League on the Linjiangmen defense line organized by Shaofan, and as a result, the troops were transferred to Hubei to deal with the local anti-Japanese guerrilla forces, which can be described as a lifetime of shame for Muto Kisailai, this time Takagi Yoshito came here, after clearing the origin, he was very encouraged, and immediately made it clear that he would do everything in his power to help Takagi Yoshito eliminate the National Youth League; Eliminate Shen Shaofan.

Yoshito Takagi thought about it carefully, unfolded the map and said, "Are you sure! Is there really a dirt road in the land ridge? ”

Muto looked down at Takagi with a resolute gaze, and Takagi looked at the map again and said to himself: "The land ridge is on the west side of Manchuan Pass, and it is indeed a good command to set up. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "It seems that we are going to go to the Land Ridge." At this point, he ordered: "Order the troops!" The rapid march is to take the land ridge with all the might. ”
