Chapter 42: Fury

2 minutes is not a long time, enough for the 23rd Division's large and small mortars to switch positions, but unfortunately Chikuihara did not know that his artillery position had been locked by the other side, and the commander of the decoy unit admitted his death, and seeing that he could not escape, he ordered to defend and take out the top of the slope. In the face of desperate resistance from the top of the slope, the officers under the command of Shakuihara ordered the shelling to continue, and when the thunderous fighters began to dive from the sky, the gunners of the 23rd Division realized that the danger was coming.

Mortars are known for their small size and light movement, even heavy mortars can be carried by one person on the march, and no one wants to wait to be bombed, so when the thunderous fighters rushed out of the clouds and began to dive, the gunners of the 23rd Division quickly concealed themselves with their own mortars and shells. The fighters escorted by the "Da Da" first plowed the Japanese troops with machine guns, and the ash pillars that were splashed by bullets into the ground were mixed with minced flesh and blood mist.

"It's our plane." The decoy soldiers who were still alive on the top of the slope cheered in unison, and less than 150 of the 1,000 people who had set off were now alive, and that was still counting the light and serious wounded, and less than 120 people could actually continue the battle, which was less than the number of a regular infantry company. The cheers of the survivors on the top of the slope were thunderous, and even more than their movements were the movements after the explosion of the aerial bombs that fell from the sky, and the "booming" series of explosions turned the entire hiding place of the gunners into a cloud of smoke.

The purpose of the Thunder fighter was very clear, it was to rush for the mortars of the 23rd Division, and three incendiary bombs were mixed with aerial bombs and fell together, turning the position locked by the artillery observer into a sea of fire. The corners of the mouth of the tight-skinned ruler Ihara twitched, and the "kill them" with the knife in his hand shouted with the strength of the milk, and the tide of Japanese soldiers rushed in the direction where his command knife was pointing.

There were only about 150 decoy soldiers on the top of the slope, and there were no more than 150 decoy soldiers on the top of the slope, and all the bait soldiers on the top of the slope were corpses after a few minutes. Looking at the soldiers cheering after occupying the top of the slope, Shakuihara's mouth was bitter, his staff officers had already examined the corpses, and then found that these corpses in American military uniforms were not the so-called thunder mercenaries at all, and the swarthy complexion looked like the indigenous people of South Asia.

The interception position filled with smoke and fire was followed by the plain terrain of the Flat River, and it was impossible to hide a large number of ambushes in such a terrain, so the ruler Ihara, who had cleaned up the mess, suddenly sent a search force to search for the enemy situation on the road ahead. Perhaps forced by the thunderous tricks, or perhaps because of the discomfort rising in Chikuihara's heart, two teams of 300 people marched along the highway in front of a search force of 300 men, searching suspiciously around the highway in accordance with normal behavior.

Zhao Zhi's forward scout reported the situation back to the command headquarters, although the large forces of the 23rd Division had stopped moving forward, but now half of their troops had entered the fire range of the ambush position, as long as Zhao Zhi gave the order to fire, the Thor revolver machine gun group commanded by Sun Dacai could be fired immediately. In the face of the furious salvo of 150 Thor revolvers, it is believed that the troops of the 23rd Division, which have already entered the range of fire, can only choose to retreat or wait for death.

"Tell the snipers to open fire and knock out their search team, we must not expose our machine gun positions, if they don't come, we won't fight, the time has come to test patience, tell everyone to be patient." It was just past noon, and Zhao Zhi now had time to test patience with the 23rd Division. As long as the machine gun position is not exposed, Zhao Zhi's biggest reliance is still there, he doesn't believe that the 23rd Division will always wait outside the ambush circle, even if the Japanese army has traps in front of them at most, Zhao Zhi believes that they will eventually take the initiative to jump in.

Zhang Jinquan received the order to fire, and the impatient snipers who had been waiting for a long time spread out according to Zhang Jinquan's arrangement, the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle gave them a reliance on the distance from the opponent's firing range, plus the bonus of the silencer, the snipers hidden in the plain did not worry about being shot by the opponent's search soldiers at all. As Zhao Zhi expected, the 300 search soldiers sent by Shakuihara did not survive even five minutes in the face of the 200 snipers under Zhang Jinquan, and they all became screaming wounded or corpses soaked in blood.

The appearance of the wounded is not due to the poor sniper pistol skills, but to leave the wounded in order to deter the other side, which is what Thunder Snipers often do, and the shock of facing a corpse in one place is not as good as the hundreds of wounded who have lost their combat ability and screamed miserably. The main reason why Zhao Zhi ordered the snipers to fire was for the machine gun positions on both flanks, since the search force sent by the other side had lost the ability to continue the search, in order to avoid the situation that the snipers were besieged by the other side, evacuation was the best choice.

"It's a sniper, the other side has deployed a lot of snipers, and the search team we sent out is half dead and wounded, and the injured have lost their combat effectiveness." When the officers under the command of Shakuihara ran back to report the situation, the Japanese planes that took off from Honshu Island also arrived, and the 23rd Division was the only one of several landing troops that had a fierce exchange of fire with Thunder, and after receiving the news that the 23rd Division had been bombarded by the opponent's fighters, the Japanese air teams on Honshu Island immediately took off and rushed over, but unfortunately their speed was still slow, and the opponent's fighters had long disappeared without a trace.

"Call the planes in the sky to clear the way for us and conduct fire reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain." It was not far from Saga, and it seemed that the people of Saga were beckoning to him, and for the sake of his long-cherished wish and the entrustment of his friend Hashimoto, he decided to make another final decision - to gather the main force of the division and force Saga. More than a dozen Japanese fighters circled and shuttled back and forth in the air, using machine guns to reconnoiter the terrain around the highway according to the order of Shakuihara.

You can already smell the smell of blood, needless to say that some unlucky people were hit by the Japanese machine guns, but even if they were shot, those mercenaries still did not show their heads, and the blood that flowed out of their bodies slowly went deep into the soil, and all the dead and alive mercenaries were silently hiding in the trenches, just waiting for the order to fire. Zhang Jinquan didn't care about it, but fortunately he had ordered the snipers to retreat, otherwise the 200 snipers under him probably wouldn't survive the cannon fire just now, and the embarrassed snipers jumped out of the fire net of the opponent's fighters, and plunged into the hiding point with a sense of relief and no longer moved.

The strafing of the Japanese fighters with machine guns was completely ploughing, and a large area on both sides of the road was plowed by machine guns, and Chikuihara was relieved to order the troops to continue to advance towards Saga. "Fire" Sun Dacai's ears suddenly came with the order to fire, Sun Dacai, who was overjoyed, reached out to wipe away the snot and tears on his face, and vigorously lifted the camouflage net on his body, "Fire" accompanied by Sun Dacai's heart-rending shout, and the firing button of the Thor revolver machine gun had been pressed by Sun Dacai.

The sound of the Thor Wheel Machine Gun firing is different from the sound made by any kind of heavy machine gun, and even the sound produced by the MG42 machine gun, which is known as the Rag Ripper, cannot be compared to Thor, because the sound made by Thor when firing is actually like the sound of a chainsaw sawing a tree. The Thor machine gun of the replica Vulcan cannon was worthy of being valued by Zhao Zhi, and when its roar sounded, all objects within the range of Thor's firepower were simply vulnerable.

The 3,000-round bullet chain disappeared in an instant, and the dense rain of bullets fired by the Thor machine gun swept away a large area of the Japanese troops in Sun Dacai's shooting world in an instant. "It's too powerful!" A minute passed quickly, and it was time for Sun Dacai's Thor machine gun to replace the bullet chain, but only his Thor machine gun was firing on the position of the Thor machine gun, because after seeing this scene, all the Thor machine gunners were completely stunned, they really couldn't imagine that there would be any weapon in the world that could compare to the power of the Thor revolver.

"Fire, fire." Sun Dacai, who had changed the bullet chain, shouted at the machine gunners on both sides that if the opportunity in front of him was lost, the main force of the 23rd Division would probably jump out of the ambush circle. The machine gunners, who were awakened by Sun Dacai's shouting, reacted and pressed the firing button one after another. With the rotation of Thor's six barrels, the sound of the chainsaw sounded again, and the sound of hundreds of Thor machine guns when they were fired turned into a buzzing sound, but at this time, no one paid attention to this strange sound, and the mercenaries who operated Thor's machine guns were engrossed in using the barrage to clean up the earthy yellow in the field.

As if a torrential rain of bullets rained down on the soldiers of the 23rd Division, a bloody and spectacular scene immediately unfolded when these bullets that could easily penetrate the Japanese light tanks rained down into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. No matter if any unit of the body is hit by a bullet fired by Thor, with the lethality and destruction brought by the huge kinetic energy, the person who is shot will lose a part of his body with broken hands and feet. Moreover, these large-caliber bullets often easily penetrate the body of Japanese soldiers and then continue to penetrate the body of the next target, until these bullets completely lose kinetic energy, and will not stop killing.

In front of the Thor machine gun position, there were bloody and broken corpses everywhere, and the blood arrows splattered out of the corpses of the Japanese soldiers gradually converged to form large and small puddles of blood, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The original neat Japanese army shape was broken up in an instant, and the Japanese army shape on Sun Dacai's side was eaten out of a concave shape by the barrage, forcing the remaining Japanese troops to cross the road and lie down in the field on the other side to avoid the overwhelming barrage.
