Originally, it was selected from the veterans of the 598th Regiment who had experienced a hundred battles, and it was a special platoon that had been trained by Lei Zhen for one year.

Takahashi Shioza of the 55th Division was a reading reconnaissance detachment formed by carefully selecting students with particularly outstanding grades from the school and rigorous training.

When these two small forces with close numbers finally met in the midst of this chaos, the two sides had only been fighting for less than a minute, and they were reading two words at the same time in each other's movements, in the other's flamboyant-for-tat confrontation...... Natural enemies!

Team battles, each side looks for cover, under the cover of darkness, use superb shooting skills, to snipe the enemy who makes a mistake. But both Lei Zhen and Takahashi soon discovered that they were just wasting time by doing so. Each of their subordinates has received the most rigorous training, and every one of them is experienced in a hundred battles, and it is difficult to make mistakes that veterans like them should not have.

"In a small group of three, each fights!"

Three-three cover is one of the tactics most commonly used by special forces when encountering the enemy at close range. Out of absolute confidence in the combat capabilities of their troops, the two captains gave similar orders almost simultaneously.

The two battle-hardened captains, as if attracted by some kind of force, turned their heads together, and their eyes that shimmered in the darkness collided, stinging each other in an instant. By this time, they don't need superfluous words, they don't even need to think about judgment, they have already captured their goal.

"Bang!"

"Da Da Da ......"

The two people with absolutely accurate marksmanship fired almost at the same time, but because the speed of the opponent's gun was too fast, no one could complete the series of actions that had been integrated into the instinct of life and could be done in one go, just as they made military evasion moves, the bullets also flew tightly against their bodies.

The bodies of the two people who fell to the ground had not yet touched the ground, one stretched out his left hand and supported it on the ground slightly, and the whole person's body bent into a stunned curve with an absolutely soft movement, and used the flexibility and control of the almost physical performance, allowing his body to quickly regain its balance. The other person pounced with all his might, and at the moment his body touched the ground, he had already shrunk his body into a ball, and with the help of his previous swoop, he made several uneven rolls in a row that even snipers could only shake their heads and smile bitterly when they saw it, until they rolled behind a big tree that bullets could not penetrate.

"He's nimble and lightning-fast, and it's hard to hit the target in an environment where his vision is blocked and there are obstacles everywhere!"

The two of them hid behind their respective bunkers, reminding themselves of the mistakes they had made in the confrontation just now. As if hearing the starting pistol, the two men suddenly rushed out of the bunker where they were together, and saw that the other party was constantly changing the radiance of their movements in the dark, and constantly using feints that affected their judgment, although they raised their guns, but for six seconds, neither of them fired a single shot.

In this dark environment, in the face of a professional master with such superb military skills, it is definitely not as simple as firing first. You have to take into account that if you miss, the flames that erupt from the muzzle of the gun will completely reveal your position, and the moment you shoot, the sound of the gun, and the smoke coming out of the chamber of the gun, will affect your vision and hearing. Most importantly, they all understand that when you want to shoot, you have to look ahead, and when your eyes come into contact with the flames from the muzzle of the gun again and again, it doesn't take a few bullets to shrink your pupils due to the constant stimulation of strong light, and in such a dark environment, it is even more difficult to catch the opponent's figure.

They don't need to pay attention to this kind of small link in normal times, but in the face of a professional soldier of the same level as themselves, in this kind of life-and-death duel, they will be shot dead by the other party if they are not careful, the less mistakes they make, the more likely they are to live!

When they hid again in the safety spot that they had already inspected before rushing out, an indescribable feeling suddenly stabbed the two captains at the same time. Whether it is Lei Zhen or Takahashi Xiao's face changes slightly, only a professional soldier like them who has been in a hundred battles will understand that this feeling is that after they have rubbed shoulders with death again and again, they are slowly stimulated and slowly strengthened, and finally become an intuition of survival skills!

Although they don't know why, their intuition is shouting at them: "Be careful, danger!" ”

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just where Lei Zhen and Takahashi were hiding, two grenades that took advantage of the darkness and silently threw them in exploded. When they rushed out to launch a second attack, they all decided that the possibility of killing the opponent with one shot was very small, so after making various actions of raising their guns and shooting but not shooting, they all invariably threw grenades at the second hiding position that the opponent would inevitably choose.

And what is so striking is that their intuition and instinctive reaction made the two captains rush out like two arrows at the same time before the grenade hit their heads, avoiding the secret attack that they had even thought of a piece of strategy, and the bad was so bad that it was a bad attack.

Before they had time to wipe off the fine cold sweat oozing from their foreheads, the two captains who had not chosen the third hidden position in advance because they were too quick to pounce out suddenly found that the other party was half-kneeling less than thirty meters in front of them.

A Thompson-style submachine gun and a hundred-style submachine gun were raised from the hands of the two captains at the same time, and they aimed at the middle of each other's eyebrows at the same time.

But none of them pulled the trigger, it was definitely not that they felt sorry for each other and suddenly didn't want to kill each other, but Lei Zhen and Takahashi Xiao clearly understood that with their distance, with their lightning-fast shooting action, no matter who shot, they would definitely not be able to avoid the other party's counterattack. Professional soldiers like them who have received inhuman training and have already integrated the gun into a part of their body, although the nerve reflex area in the middle of the eyebrows will lose their ability to react in an instant if they are pierced by a bullet, but their skin already has a memory function that normal people can't imagine at all, when the bullet touches the skin of the contact, but it does not penetrate the forehead, they don't need the command of the brain, their body will automatically make a retaliatory stress response, directly pull the fingers that are pressed on the wrench, and are already in a half-firing state.

For soldiers like them, as long as they are ready to be hit by bullets, as long as they have aimed at the target in advance, even if they hit their nerve reflex zone, they can shoot the revenge bullet out of the chamber at the moment of being shot!

The two captains were half-kneeling on the ground, each holding a submachine gun, staring at each other. At this time, no matter who relaxes his spirit a little, or even because he is pressed on the trigger, his finger, which is already in a half-firing state, is a little sour because of the long-term exertion, and secretly relaxes his strength, and the other person will shoot immediately without hesitation!

Those who have not experienced all this can never imagine what a difficult challenge it is to maintain their absolute concentration on the battlefield where dozens of professional soldiers with the most rigorous special training are constantly competing, reloading and flying everywhere, and at any time there will be soldiers from the enemy side appearing beside them and shooting themselves with one shot!

But Lei Zhen and Takahashi Shino did it!

The two of them stared at each other, their eyes colliding fiercely in the air, splashing invisible sparks, and their fingers pressed on the trigger, which had been in a half-firing state, were even more like steel and iron, so stable that people just wanted to sigh hard in their hearts...... If you keep going like this, when will it be a head?!

"Hey!"

Takahashi Xiao suddenly spoke, and he could speak fluent Chinese: "Don't you want to lead the troops to directly assault our division headquarters, your night raid, that is, can have a temporary effect, if you drag it out any longer, I think your subordinates will all be wiped out." ”

Takahashi Xiao is telling the truth, and he said this, of course, not to kindly remind Lei Zhen, as the so-called situation is stronger than people, once Lei Zhen is affected, under the impatience, his actions and spirit will inevitably make mistakes.

"Well, that's right."

Lei Zhen also spoke, and as soon as he spoke, Takahashi Xiao's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, because what Lei Zhen said turned out to be a language that although the pronunciation was not too standard, it was definitely able to communicate normally. "I'm also very strange, aren't you the commander of the division who wants to protect you desperately, I, the commander of the provisional Fifth Division, who led the troops to snipe you on the hillside for five days and made you pay the price of at least 5,000 casualties, is here, why don't you shoot yet?"

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something."

Lei Zhen also had something to say, "When we were fighting with the ancient city, did you run to our army's position and capture a prisoner, and in the end, the prisoner was killed, not to mention, and you lost more than a dozen subordinates?" To tell you the truth, crossing the Pew River, executing the captives, and killing a dozen of your subordinates like chickens is me. ”

Lei Zhen wants to provoke Takahashi Shino, as long as Takahashi Xiao hears the real inside story of his subordinates' deaths, and because of the slight distraction or slow reaction caused by anger, Lei Zhen can quickly end the battle.

But Takahashi Xiao's conversation as if he was talking to a friend made Lei Zhen's plan completely ruined, "How can you speak in Chinese, it's not bad!" ”

Of course Takahashi wants to be angry, if he can, he really wants to use the submachine gun in his hand to beat Lei Zhen into a pile of minced meat, but in the face of Lei Zhen, an opponent who is so terrible in terms of military technology and strategy, he Takahashi Xiao still wants to try to survive, follow behind the commander of Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kuan's division, to witness the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, as long as there is another way, why should he fight with Lei Zhen to lose both?

As for Lei Zhen, since he chose this way of attacking, he was undoubtedly ready to die, but he didn't break through to the enemy's division headquarters, and he didn't chase Takeuchi Kuan's regiment around, even if he died, how could he be willing? How can you be here, and fight with a little-known Shaozo to finish together?

"When you say that when you invaded China, the most common thing you said was how much time you spent to understand China's culture and understand China's current situation, and then put on a face that was a China expert and came to the conclusion that China must be managed by you?"

In the face of Takahashi Xiao's inquiry, the two of them tried to widen their eyes, staring at every subtle activity of each other's bodies, Lei Zhen said casually: "I think that if we want to defeat the invaders and send you Japanese back to their hometowns, of course, we should also understand your ethnic characteristics and understand your weaknesses." So as early as a few years ago, I began to consciously learn the language through various ways, learn your history, learn your diet, learn your way of thinking, and the basis of all this is to start your language. ”

“……”

Takahashi knew that he had lost in the battle of words, and he didn't believe it at first, the young middle [***] man in front of him was the unknown commander who commanded thousands of people on the hillside to meet their 55th Division for five days and five nights, but he believed it now. Now half-kneeling in front of him, and confronting him with a gun, it is a good fighter with Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kan, the surprise attack of Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao, coupled with superb personal combat ability, and a young lieutenant [***] officer with a keen mind and vision!

"It seems that we all have reasons why we don't want to die with each other, and it is definitely not the result I want to see if we drag on like this until your subordinates or my subordinates get involved and end this duel in a disgraceful way. Because that doesn't have to be ridiculous for you or for me. ”

Listening to what Takahashi said in Chinese, Lei Zhen raised his eyebrows lightly and said in words: "Otherwise, you and I will each return to our original positions, and we will compare again?" ”

Takahashi said categorically: "Okay! ”

These two professional soldiers on the battlefield, who had just used their own skills and tried their best to kill each other, actually moved their bodies backwards together in this kind of situation where they could kill the other party on the spot with a single finger button, and after they each withdrew two steps, Lei Zhen suddenly said: "I will retreat next, you are not allowed to move, from the distance point of view, I have to take one more step back than you, so that we can return to the back of cover at the same time." ”

Takahashi's expression remained unchanged, "Okay! ”

But not disappointed, that's 100% fake. Don't underestimate the gap in this step, if he can retreat to cover one step earlier, he can shoot a bullet at Lei Zhen in advance, but he doesn't have to worry about Lei Zhen's counterattack.

The two of them retreated step by step behind the cover they had just now, until they didn't have to worry about the other party's shooting, they spit out a mouthful that had been pressed into their lungs together, but they didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that their bodies would be slightly more radiant and they would be directly sullen from the other party's shooting. And they are shaking their right hand hard, putting their index finger on the trigger of the submachine gun, and they are always in a half-firing state, not daring to use too much force, because if they use too much force, they will really misfire and shoot bullets; Don't dare to relax too much, otherwise the opponent will come with a bullet, and he may not be able to shoot a counterattack bullet. The fingers have been maintained in a state of almost stiffness, and it is strange that the index finger and the whole right hand do not feel sore and numb after holding on for so long!

After fighting against a strong enemy in the mountains for five days and five nights in a row, his physical strength was excessively depleted, so in the military and technical competition, he could only fight a draw with the opponent.

In terms of strategy and skills, Lei Zhen is of course a step higher than Takahashi Xiao's skills, but he has to take into account both command and special operations, just from the perspective of individual confrontation, compared with Takahashi Shino, who is concentrating on a duel, the two sides are still tied!

Before the two of them could find a way to defeat each other in their hearts, they suddenly discovered that the enemy's special operations team had already killed in their vicinity. When the two of them fought separately, and finally let the other party's combat team of three people find that it was not easy to eat themselves, the battlefield between the two captains fell silent again.

"Listening to the gunshots, his submachine gun has no bullets, so he can only use a self-defense pistol, and even the pistol bullets will not have a few more rounds." Glancing at the 100-style submachine gun in his hand, Takahashi Shino thought to himself: "But I'm not much better, I didn't have time to carry a self-defense pistol in the face of a surprise attack, and there are only sixteen bullets left in the magazine of my submachine gun." ”

Around them, the officers and soldiers of the special service platoon and the reading reconnaissance detachment could be seen everywhere in the fierce firefight, the corpses that were constantly killed, and the weapons that fell around them, but neither Lei Zhen nor Takahashi Xiao found a way to pick them up.

It's not that I don't want to pick it up, it's that I don't dare.

Lei Zhen unloaded the magazine of the pistol, groped with his fingers, and when he quietly unloaded the bullets in the magazine, there were only two bullets in the palm of his hand. After refilling the bullet into the chamber, Lei Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was very difficult to kill the guy who was slippery than a loach, obviously a five-foot man, but his body was softer than a woman, with two bullets.

Just as he was looking around, Lei Zhen's gaze once again fell on a Thompson submachine gun less than fifteen meters away from him, "It's better to ...... Fight! ”

Lei Zhen suddenly rushed out of his hiding position, and at the moment when Takahashi Xiao raised his gun to shoot, the self-defense pistol in Lei Zhen's hand rang out, although Lei Zhen's marksmanship was quite exquisite, but in the face of Takahashi Shino, who was hiding behind the rocks and had a dark cover, the two bullets he fired in a row only played a short-term suppressive role. When Takahashi Shinou showed his head again, Lei Zhen subconsciously raised the pistol in his hand again.

"Click......

There was a sound of the firing pin in the air, although the sound was not loud, but Lei Zhen and Takahashi Xiao heard it clearly, holding the pistol that had already emptied the last bullet, Lei Zhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Takahashi stood up abruptly and fired several bullets at Lei Zhen in succession. Lei Zhen had already rushed to the vicinity of the Thompson submachine gun, almost within reach, but in the face of a submachine gun and his own life, Lei Zhen finally chose the latter, and was forced back to his original position by Takahashi Shinou with a bullet.

"You're out of bullets!"

Takahashi used an affirmative statement, and he knew very well that professional soldiers like them would never use a pistol with only two bullets left in the magazine if they couldn't find a single bullet on their body when they faced a strong enemy. In the same way, if they were not forced to be helpless, they would never risk their lives to pick up a gun.

"Looks like our cat-and-mouse game is over! The two of us have been fighting for so long, we should know each other well, and I believe you should also understand that you will never be able to turn the tide of the battle with a trick such as throwing a knife. Our subordinates have also recognized the duel between you and me, and they will never come over again to easily stir up the situation. ”

With the victory in hand, Takahashi Shino certainly has the qualifications to give orders, "You have two paths to choose now, the first is to be wiped out by us with your subordinates, and no one will even bury the body; Second, lift your hands and weapons to a position where I can see, slowly stand up, and then surrender to me, putting an end to your pointless raid. ”

Lei Zhen, who was hiding behind the stones, didn't shoot again, he ran out of ammunition for his submachine gun, he ran out of grenades, and he ran out of pistol bullets, just like Takahashi said, he really didn't have any weapons to use other than throwing his fighting saber as a throwing knife. And a flying knife, frankly speaking, Lei Zhen really didn't know, how could an enemy who was difficult to hit even a bullet be stabbed to death by the flying knife he thrown.

"Although we have always looked down on the cowardice of the [***] people, we will still give considerable respect to the real heroes and maintain enough politeness."

Takahashi Shino is telling the truth, an enemy like Lei Zhen can indeed be respected by him and the head of the Takeuchi Wide Division. In the eyes of soldiers like Takahashi and Takeuchi Kan, only people with considerable quality and ability are qualified to be their prisoners. As for those who surrendered without a fight, they were just a group of cowards and garbage who volunteered to join the coolie camp and died without anyone feeling pity.

"You covered the main force of tens of thousands of people and successfully escaped into the Savage Mountain, and I can tell you frankly that we, the 55th Division, have given up the pursuit, because it is absolutely impossible for our whole army of 20,000 people to chase together into the primeval forest where there is no supply to be replenished. You are already worthy of the title of soldier, and now that you have fought to this extent, even if you raise your hands and surrender, you are a glorious victor, not a coward of defeat. The most important thing is that you can save the lives of the last surviving men, they can be treated with dignity just like you, and they will never be sent to concentration camps......"

In the midst of constant persuasion, Takahashi suddenly laughed.

Because he suddenly saw that behind the stone where Lei Zhen was hiding, he first threw out a Thompson submachine gun with the magazine removed, and then slowly raised it with both hands, and a pistol that emptied all the bullets was hung diagonally upside down on the middle finger of his left hand, and proved his sincerity to Takahashi Shinou with this action that was not suitable for shooting.

It was under Takahashi's gaze that Lei Zhen really slowly stood up from behind the stone.

"You won, but it's not honorable to win."

Takahashi Xiao knew what Lei Zhen was talking about, if it wasn't for fighting for several days in a row, and he couldn't get any supplies, so the bullets he carried on his body were really limited, otherwise, Lei Zhen would definitely not be forced by him to the point of raising his hands and surrendering.

Takahashi Shino smiled: "But I won after all, and war doesn't need to be glorious......"

Suddenly, Takahashi Xiao's face changed greatly, because just as he walked out of the bunker and was about to receive Lei Zhen's prisoner, Lei Zhen's left hand shook slightly, and the pistol hooked with the middle finger of his left hand had fallen firmly into Lei Zhen's hand, and in an impossible situation, Lei Zhen actually used his middle finger to pull the trigger on him.

"Not good!"

Takahashi Xiao tried his best and quickly rushed in the direction where he was hiding, but at this time, he felt bitter in his mouth, because he had clearly calculated that even if he could avoid the vital point, Lei Zhen's shot that had performed a good surrender could still hit him in the shoulder or arm!

The gun in Lei Zhen's hand rang out, and he emptied the bullet in the magazine in front of Takahashi Shino, and even pulled the trigger one more time, but there was still a bullet in his pistol, and he took it out of the magazine in advance, carefully put it in his pocket, and waited for the bullet of the final blow.

"Smack!"

With a soft and crisp sound, Takahashi Xiao only felt his arm slam violently, and in his incredulous gaze, the 100-style submachine gun in his hand with twelve rounds of ammunition was actually hit by a shot from Lei Zhen. Just look at the 100-type submachine gun that is sinking deeply, and the spring that is still vibrating rapidly in the air exposed from the gap where the bullet was hit, and anyone can understand that this gun is useless.

(To be continued)
