Chapter 36: The Protracted War
"Let's go, get out of here." A smoke grenade was dragged from his waist and thrown hard, and the motor and the two snipers beside him slid down the hill with all their might. Seeing that the attackers on the hillside had no movement, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army under the hillside did not pay attention to the rising red smoke, and just followed the officer who led the team to rush up the hillside.
"Hidden, hidden" The fighter plane that suddenly swooped down from the clouds made the officers leading the charge dumbfounded, but this is a hillside, there is no grass everywhere, and there is not even a stone or bush in sight, where can they go to hide. The fighters who swooped down at high speed did not hesitate to fire fiercely at the Kwantung Army on the hillside, and the four fighters took turns to loosen the soil on the slope with their cannons, and the Kwantung Army, which was drowned by the barrage, was already more than lucky.
"Boom" and "Boom" two powerful incendiary bombs were thrown from mid-air by the belated bombers, and the red smoke bombs thrown by the motor when retreating were to guide the fighters as targets, and the Kwantung Army Brigade that they had been holding their noses around for more than half a day had long been targeted by the fighter troops, and this slope had a wide field of vision and no corresponding hidden objects, and the powerful incendiary bombs were very suitable for use in such terrain.
After running for more than 400 meters, the motor and another group of snipers who came to meet converged, but they did not withdraw directly, but chose to stop and watch. Beat the water dogs, this is the habit of the mercenary troops, after being abused by four fighters and a bomber, they expected that there should not be many people left in the Kwantung Army brigade just now. In another two hours, the sky will be dark, and if you touch it again at night, you will not be able to escape from this Kwantung Army brigade.
"Fill your stomach first, and when Xu Hui and the others come, we'll touch it." The motor felt out the compressed dry food and swallowed it in a big gulp, there are only 9 of them now, the number is a little small, and they will not be able to act until the two groups of snipers around them come and assemble, anyway, it is not dark yet, and there is still more time, he can afford to wait. Time passed little by little, and the motors covered with camouflage nets were lying quietly in the grass, and if they hadn't approached and looked closely, no one would have noticed that there were 20 Thunder mercenaries lying here.
There was movement on the walkie-talkie, and the scouts who had crept up to observe the enemy tapped their fingers on the receiver a few times, indicating that they had spotted the enemy, and it was also a signal that the operation had begun. After checking his equipment again, Mada quietly returned to the slope with the remaining dozen or so mercenaries following the route of the day's embarrassment. "It's fucking miserable" Far away, the motor smelled a smell of barbecue, those who have experienced the battlefield know that this is definitely not the Japanese army roasting meat in the distance, the smell is emitted from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers who were engulfed by the flames of incendiary bombs during the day should have become roast pigs.
There were a few sluggish Japanese soldiers on the hillside, and a dozen bonfires were lit under the slope, where the smell of barbecue came from. The motor picked up the telescope and looked at it from a distance, almost not spit it out immediately, the Japanese soldiers in those slopes were burning the corpses of their comrades who had died in battle, and the corpses waiting to be thrown into the fire had already turned charred black, like a piece of charcoal pulled out of the fire, and the Japanese soldiers were now returning the charcoal to the furnace again.
"Really fucking bad luck" The motor that was at the downwind took a silent sip, and probably counted the number of remaining Kwantung Army soldiers, it seems that the machine gun and incendiary bombs made this group of Kwantung Army casualties a lot, and the motor counted for a long time, only to see less than 400 Japanese troops in Moyo, and half of the brigade was reimbursed in the flames and barrage. "Let's take out the little devils on the sentry first, and then let's go up and engage them in melee combat with night vision devices, and screw the muffler on the pistol." Although it is now 20 against 400, Mada and his mercenaries are not panicked at all, those 400 are all frightened birds, and they can be their opponents.
According to Mada's plan, the mercenaries first used a pistol equipped with a silencer to kill the dozen Japanese soldiers in the sentry post on the hillside, and then pretended to be a Japanese sentry and watched the charcoal burning activity under the slope from a distance. In the miserable song of the Japanese army, a group of Japanese soldiers who changed their posts came, and the motors were naturally unceremoniously all put down, and then they swaggered down the slope with a pistol equipped with a silencer. Machine guns and mortars are, of course, the first targets, and the remaining officers are no different from ordinary soldiers, they are all going to die anyway, it's just a question of who comes first and who comes first.
The two machine gun positions on the right flank were successfully resolved, and the motors pretending to be Japanese soldiers immediately turned their faces, turned the muzzle of the machine gun and aimed it at the Japanese soldiers singing around the bonfire, and pulled the trigger. The Japanese soldiers who were already sitting together would think that the enemy had touched their side, and only a shuttle of bullets hit them, and at least a dozen Japanese officers were reimbursed, and the "boom" and "boom" explosions exploded, and they threw all the grenades captured from the Japanese army as if they didn't need money, and blew up the bonfire, and they became the kings of the night with night vision devices.
The stunned Japanese did not know how many enemies came, anyway, their machine guns and mortars were gone, and now they were all returned to the enemy. The skilled shooters could only watch the ballistics of the machine guns and return fire, but most of the Arisaka rifle bullets fired from their chambers would be blocked by the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the cunning mercenaries surrounded the machine gun positions with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers after the explosions in succession. The Japanese soldiers who were still alive stayed away from the firelight, and only by staying away from the firelight could they avoid the enemy's strafing, but they didn't think that the motors and they also had night vision devices, and they could easily find them in the dark.
The sniper relied on the night vision device, and slowly killed these Kwantung Army to the point of great mildew, and the sniper rifle had been equipped with a silencer, and in the crackling machine gun fire, the sound of the sniper rifle firing was almost minimal. With the night vision device and the silencer motor, they were completely armed to the teeth, and the Japanese soldiers who were crushed in the slope were now like helpless children, and they could only let the motors shoot them one by one, until the last person also died under the sniper pistol.
"Happily, send a report to Mr., just say that we have completely annihilated the forward infantry brigade of the 23rd Division, our squadron has slightly wounded 13 people, 9 killed, and the rest are normal, and the advance speed of the 23rd Division is being delayed according to the original plan." The motor, who was injured in the left arm by a stray bullet, was overjoyed, and only suffered 22 casualties to annihilate an infantry brigade of the Kwantung Army, and it was not in vain that his squadron led this group of Japanese soldiers around for two days. The happy motor completely forgot that there was also the credit of the fighter unit, and if it were not for the help of the fighter unit, I am afraid that they would still be running for their lives like lost dogs.
Before dawn, the mercenary team that received the news all converged, and after burying the corpses, counting the loot, and replenishing the weapons and ammunition that could be used, the motor disappeared into the grassy slope with his squadron. The 64th Wing, the vanguard of the 23rd Division, has been pulled into several parts by the squadron of the motor, and the Japanese troops of the brigade size are all over the mountains and fields in pursuit of the mercenary squads serving as bait, and the 64th Wing is familiar with the terrain, but the mercenaries are not bad, at least the speed of their movement is incomparable to that of the Japanese army.
Relying on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle, once the mercenaries who served as bait found that the pursuing Japanese soldiers wanted to turn back, they would use their sniper rifles to shoot the Japanese soldiers, until the anger of the pursuing Japanese soldiers was rekindled, and the mercenaries would run wildly with their backpacks on their backs, leading the Japanese soldiers behind them to a suitable place for ambush. Accumulate a lot, this is the essence of Ling Chi's tactics, although the knife is small, but the number of cuts is more, even an elephant will eventually be cut into a skeleton by the knife.
Zhao Zhi didn't comment on the motor and their Ling Chi tactics, but after the motor and the 64 wing exchanged fire, Zhao Zhi sent a mercenary force with a number of 300 to the motor as a reserve. It is a little difficult for 200 people to deal with a Japanese wing, but 500 people are barely enough, the Kwantung Army troops from Korea have landed on Kyushu Island everywhere, and only these 7,000 mercenaries around Zhao Zhi can fight against the Kwantung Army, so Zhao Zhi has to use these mercenaries carefully.
The situation on Kyushu Island, which was concerned by the world, began to change with the landing of a large number of Kwantung Army, and the mixed troops transferred by Zhao Zhi to the southern part of Kyushu Island were busy clearing out the resistance forces and looting the property of Japanese civilians. Only the more than 100,000 mixed troops stationed in Kitakyushu by Zhao Zhi rioted, and a Kwantung Army unit on a ship suddenly appeared in Kitakyushu Bay, scaring the mixed troops stationed in Kitakyushu half to death.
The Thor revolver, which fires more than 2,000 rounds per minute, is not something that the Taisho machine gun can fight, and under the fire of the four Thor's revolvers, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who landed on the shore had only one choice -- to kill themselves and shed the last drop of blood for the emperor. The cunning mercenaries did not engage the Japanese troops in close combat at the landing site, but after all the Japanese troops had come ashore, they suddenly launched a fire far away from the naval guns, and faced with a fire network composed of four Thor retortor machine guns and dozens of sniper rifles, and the cheers of the landing Japanese troops immediately became a mourning song.
"Don't force them up, give full play to our flexible and mobile tactics, hit them when we find an opportunity, lead them to fight and leave quickly, and firmly grasp the initiative in our hands." Zhao Zhi, who was hiding in the mountains, made no secret of his idea of fighting a protracted war with the Kwantung Army on Kyushu Island, and he could only resort to this seemingly reliant tactic when he was at a disadvantage. Anyway, his goal is to turn Kyushu Island into a big battlefield, and as long as there are guns and cannons on Kyushu Island, Japan will not be at peace.
