Chapter 456: Destroying More with Less

It's the characteristic hissing of bullets as they burst through the air, but why aren't the shots heard?

Major General Wolfgang didn't understand why, and he couldn't possibly figure it out, because in the blink of an eye, a bullet went into his skull, causing his brain to stop thinking.

It was the first time that Wolfgang had come to Wolfgang to see such a terrible sight: Wolfgang was wearing a helmet with eagle emblems and nails peculiar to the German Empire, and suddenly a cloud of blood mist burst out from the left side, carrying a white slurry liquid, and splashed on his face, and then Wolfgang's body fell straight to the side.

Shan County Youpeng didn't know how the bullet could come quietly, boundless fear grabbed his heart, and before he could react, another bullet flew and hit Major Meier behind Wolfgang, Major Meier was shot in the chest, and a blood line flew out and splashed on Shan County Youpeng's body.

Shan County Youpeng didn't have time to let out a frightened shout, he turned around sharply and strode away, he already felt that the target of the next bullet should be himself.

Sure enough, there was another "whoosh", and another bullet flew, at this time Shan County Youpeng happened to run to an unknown soldier, the soldier was very surprised to see the commander who fled in panic, and was about to ask, the bullet hit the soldier's arm at this time, he immediately screamed and fell backwards.

"The enemy is coming!" The fallen soldier raised his alarm loudly.

"Damn it!" In the woods in the distance, Lin Yiqing scolded a little annoyed, but his eyes did not leave the scope on the sniper rifle.

With his shot just now, he could have safely killed Youpeng in Shanxian County. But unexpectedly, it was blocked by a government soldier.

Just now, two German military advisers entered his scope with Yamaguchi Aritomo. But because the location of Youpeng Station in Shan County is relatively partial. There happened to be a tree blocking it, and after judging it quickly, he decisively decided to hit the older German retired general first, and then the German retired major, until Youpeng in Shan County was frightened and left his original position, and then asked for his life.

Since the sniper rifle in his hand was equipped with a silencer of his own design, it was a very low muffled sound after the bullet was discharged. At such a long distance, the enemy could not detect it at all, because after he shot two people in succession, the Japanese officers and soldiers were all in a daze, and the opposite Yama Prefecture Youpeng, who witnessed this tragic scene, only cared about fleeing for his life, and did not raise the alarm, and only after the soldier was shot in the arm, did he realize that someone was sneaking up and raised the alarm loudly.

Seeing that the Japanese army found out, Shiori Mochizuki did not hesitate to raise her gun and shoot. Knocking out a government soldier with a single shot, her shot can be said to be a signal of attack. The odd soldiers, who had already taken aim at their targets, opened fire in unison.

The strange soldiers who were responsible for creating chaos threw thunder bombs, accompanied by explosions, the government soldiers scattered in panic to dodge, and in the process, people were hit by flying shrapnel and fell, and the screams were loud for a while, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The thunder flame bomb used by the strange soldiers this time is no longer the small hand-thrown bomb commonly used by the Iga ninjas, but after Lin Yiqing's improvement, the bullet body has increased, and the charge has also become larger, and it is equipped with iron balls, so the lethality of the explosion is also several times that of the ninja using the thunder flame bomb, and this time it caused terrible casualties to the government army in an instant.

At this time, there was a continuous and crisp burst of gunfire from the halfway up the mountain not far from Lin Yiqing, and it seemed that a small group of troops were scattered and hidden in the mountain forest to shoot at the government troops under the hillside. The gunfire on both sides was very dense, and the sound of crackling resounded in the mountains.

Lin Yiqing saw the two warheads collide violently together, bursting out a series of sparks, he has seen the same situation many times on the battlefield, he observed the government forces that were closer to him and most likely to threaten his safety, and found that the number of the other party was not much, only about fifty people.

This unit, probably under the guidance of German instructors, was well prepared before the battle, not only digging a shallow trench in a relatively secluded place, but also digging multiple individual pits on both sides, using rocks, trees, and grass as cover. He made a quick observation and confirmed his thoughts, and among them were two German officers in Imperial German uniforms and nails and helmets.

Lin Yiqing clearly remembered that in the heyday of Europe, an important feature of military uniforms was that they were expensive and luxurious, like the two German officers in front of them, probably in order to show their prestige in front of their students, not only wore richly decorated nail helmets, but also wore medals pinned to their chests, and wore well-made command knives around their waists.

Despite their imposing uniforms, the students they taught were running around in the midst of the sudden attack, and the open terrain around them made it difficult for them to find suitable cover, and sometimes seven or eight soldiers were crowded in one corner.

Lin Yiqing also saw that the horses behind these government troops were controlled by civilians, who wore coarse cloth clothes and clogs barefoot, looking like civilians who had been forcibly recruited to be in charge of transportation.

In the fierce exchange of fire, the men led the horses down one after another, and they hid behind the cargo boxes and large sacks, not daring to look up.

At this moment, the exchange of fire between the two small forces in the distance had reached a white-hot level, and even bullets passed through the woods and hit the trunk of a tree near where Lin Yiqing was hiding, making a piercing crisp sound.

Lin Yiqing searched for the target with a sniper rifle, and when he pointed the scope at the enemy again, he was surprised to find that more than a dozen government soldiers were disassembling the supplies they were transporting, disassembling a dark green cylinder weapon from the wooden box, and couldn't wait to set up the weapon.

Lin Yiqing, who saw the target clearly, sighed in his heart, it was a Gatling machine gun.

It seems that the combat quality of the government troops has improved a lot, and the training results of these German instructors are quite good.

Praise is admiration, but Lin Yiqing doesn't think that the enemy still has much chance to use this weapon, the enemy is now in the best shooting distance for the odd soldiers, taking advantage of the terrain, the odd soldiers are constantly reducing the number of opponents through accurate aiming and shooting.

didn't wait for Lin Yiqing to shoot. Several members of the Odd Soldiers have already discovered what these government soldiers are going to do. They all started shooting at them. After the series of gunfire passed, Lin Yiqing saw that the government soldiers who were about to shoot had all fallen.

Shiori Mochizuki's eyes were fixed on the officers in the government army, and she shot one after another, knocking down one government officer after another, and Lin Yiqing did not just observe and not shoot, after killing the two well-dressed German officers, he killed three more officers who looked like staff officers.

Probably noticing that the number of attackers was small, a Japanese officer suddenly drew his saber. Pointing to the woods and shouting, at this moment, all the Japanese soldiers unusually neatly inserted their rifles into their bayonets and shouted "Hooray!" The slogan swooped straight up.

If it is on the battlefield, such a uniform sound and pace is frightening, and the fanatical bushido spirit and fighting spirit are equally palpitating. But when Lin Yiqing saw them like this, he could only sneer.

This is a typical European method of warfare, and it was probably taught by the rigid Germans, right?

For the Odd Soldiers, this is a godsend to annihilate the enemy.

I saw those Japanese soldiers in black uniforms rushing up like wild wolves. The members of the Odd Soldier team unanimously threw thunder bullets one after another.

Whether it's true or not, it's a dream or an illusion. At this moment, these people have only one extremely fervent and persistent thought in their minds - to kill all the enemies.

A series of fires exploded in the ranks of the government troops, and the heat wave swept across the army with shrapnel and steel balls, and the government soldiers fell in pieces like ears of wheat.

Their attack formation was too dense.

A steel ball whistled past Lin Yiqing's head, but Lin Yiqing didn't care, he calmly aimed at the head of a Japanese officer in the middle.

The moment the trigger was pulled, there was just a "whoosh", there seemed to be a speeding and rubbing sound in the chamber, and the heat wave rushed out from the mouth of the silencer, accompanied by an extremely faint flame, and in an instant, the braincase of the government officer in the black military uniform exploded in Lin Yiqing's field of vision.

Thinking that the government army had been shelled, their morale collapsed in an instant, and people kept turning and fleeing, and the civilians who were hiding around the goods and horses did not intend to help the government army, so they hid there with their heads in their hands, and even threw their tools on the ground under the shouts of the team leader.

Lin Yiqing was just searching for the officer's target, and because he used a silencer and a scope, he shot almost silently, which was even more terrifying in this noisy environment.

Lin Yiqing assassinated those Japanese officers one after another, and once he knocked down two people with one shot, he was extremely calm at this moment, after his gun was installed with a silencer, due to the reverse rotation and diversion of the muzzle air flow and sound wave in the silencer, the transmitted sound was distorted into a very unique pop, very low. He aimed at everyone like a ruthless machine, firing as quickly as he could, killing the Japanese officers one by one, and only when he didn't find the officers did he consider shooting the easiest target to attack at close range.

Another Japanese non-commissioned officer was shot in the chest, and because no gunshots could be heard, when another Japanese soldier was hit and fell, the people around him screamed as if they had encountered a ghost, and the people around him fell to the ground.

The remaining Japanese troops began to scatter and hide in various places, and since the bullets were coming from all directions, they could not find a counterattack point at all, and could only feel the approach of death.

By the nature of war, it was almost a one-sided massacre.

Suddenly, the gunfire fell silent, and there was a fierce battle going on in the distance, except in the distance, where the battle seemed to have suddenly stopped.

The mountains and fields suddenly became unusually silent, and this small detachment of the Japanese army was scattered into many units, hiding in a corner that could be hidden, and no one dared to raise their heads, let alone where to shoot.

Lin Yiqing knew that the time had come to finally annihilate the enemy.

This is the tactic he taught his Odd Soldiers, and they are using it very well now.

After enduring a long period of more than ten minutes, some Japanese soldiers began to try to go up the mountain to search for the enemy, and seeing them bent on their waists preparing to go up the mountain, Lin Yiqing waited silently until more Japanese soldiers left the bunker before they began to shoot.

In two successive silent shots, bullets pierced the chests of the same two government non-commissioned officers, tearing open two bloody eyes.

Blood bloomed in an instant like the most beautiful flowers, and this visual impact made Lin Yiqing feel a kind of cleansing in his soul. A truly pure detached from all the vulgar pleasures of the world. He seems to have become the most powerful man in the world. Manipulating the lives and deaths of others.

Shan Shan Youpeng, who was hiding in the shadows, watched all this in horror, and the sense of fear and powerlessness that Wolfgang and Meier died silently in front of his eyes just now surrounded him at this moment.

He had no idea where the enemy was hiding, and he couldn't hear the gunshots.

He has been in the army for many years and has never encountered such a strange and terrifying scene.

At this time, Lin Yiqing and the four odd soldiers had moved to the west side of the Japanese position, hiding behind a raised dirt slope and rocks, and continued to carefully observe each enemy with a scope, and he decided to deal with the remaining Japanese soldiers at once.

He calculated very quickly. The remaining Japanese soldiers were scattered in three shelters, the first was a natural pile of stones, which had a good covering ability and hid the most soldiers, the second was a bush and a section of fallen trees, and the actual cover effect was very low, and the third was a government soldier who had piled up scattered items during the previous attack stage, and several Japanese soldiers assembled the blessing forest machine gun that had just been opened, but because they couldn't find the opponent's position, they just nervously observed. There was no indiscriminate firing.

Despite being outnumbered, the Odd Soldiers have already made a thrill. Every pore seemed to be spraying a wave of heat, making their blood roll and their faces flush, as if they had drunk a whole bottle of spirits.

A member of the Odd Soldier suddenly threw out a thunder bomb, his movements were silent, but the bomb was thrown far away, and Shan County Youpeng saw a round cannonball-like thing from a distance dragging a slender white trajectory and suddenly flew towards the shelter of the Japanese army, detonating violently, blowing up all the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

Seeing the power of this large thunder flame bomb, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Even if those Japanese soldiers were not killed, the ultra-high explosion and impact of a short moment were enough to temporarily make them temporarily incapacitated.

In the original time and space, Lin Yiqing was accidentally bombed by his comrades once, it was still an infantry grenade that was not very powerful, the impact was like a dozen big wooden sticks smashed on the head, it was like life was worse than death, the whole person was dizzy for dozens of seconds before gradually coming back to his senses, and he was still in the hospital for a few days after completing the task.

The experience of these Japanese soldiers now should be the same as that of their own!

The sudden bombardment startled the government soldiers, who had not yet reacted and thought it was a shell, but no enemy artillery was found nearby.

In this moment's moments of hesitation, the odd soldier calmly aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were exposed within their range, and threw out a thunder fire bomb, this time because of the direct hit on the rock, the shock wave generated by the new explosion was even stronger, and the rock pile that used the Japanese soldiers as cover was also exploded, and several Japanese soldiers hiding behind were blown up at one time, blood splattered everywhere, and some people were even blown away by the explosion a few meters away, everyone was covered with scars, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

After realizing that the shelter was no longer safe, and that there was no officer to direct them, the Japanese soldiers rushed out from behind the bunkers, and at that moment, the other members of the Odd Soldiers resumed firing.

Lin Yiqing noticed the Gatling machine gun that had been loaded with cartridges, pointed the scope at the panicked machine gunners, and fired continuously, knocking them down one by one.

At this time, the morale of the Japanese army had completely collapsed, they turned their heads and fled, no one cared about the few machine gunners who suddenly fell silently, Lin Yiqing had an idea, and suddenly dodged and jumped out.
