Chapter 40: Less Fights More

The news of the disappearance of the Forward Squadron of the 4th Division had just been learned by Yamashita Fengfumi, and it had been a full two nights and a day since the Forward Squadron had lost contact with the follow-up troops. The Fourth Division is known as a wreck in the Japanese army, and when other troops, including the Fourth Division, don't care very much, Yamashita Fengfu noticed a trace of abnormality in it.

The Fourth Division is roughly the same as other entities in the Japanese army, the number of an infantry squadron is about 200, and such a number of Imperial squadrons will never disappear quietly even if they encounter enemy troops, not to mention that the weapons and equipment of the Fourth Division can definitely be regarded as excellent. "Send a search team up and search along the route of the missing squadron, and after confirming that there are no anomalies, the follow-up troops can pass through." There are mountains everywhere here, and if Yamashita Fengwen is stationed here, he will definitely use the terrain here to ambush, so Yamashita Fengwen has to send a search team to explore the way first.

The search was carried out by a search group of the 5th Division, an elite search group of 800 men divided into four sections and searched along the route of the missing squadron. Yamashita Fengwen didn't know that it was because of his own caution that the 25th Army had delayed the opportunity to enter the plain terrain, and it was only 200 thunderous mercenaries who tried to intercept them here, and in terms of numbers, I am afraid that it could only be compared with the infantry squadron under his command, if Yamashita Fengfu knew that there were only 200 people who were suspicious of him, I don't know if he would vomit blood in anger.

"It's coming, it's coming." The observation post in charge of the lookout slipped down from the tree, and there were about 200 Japanese troops in the lookout post binoculars, and there were less than 20 mercenaries who set up an ambush here to attack the Japanese army. "Hit?" The mercenaries all turned their heads to look at their captain, although the mercenaries were in a better position, but the number of people on both sides had exceeded 1:10, if the mercenary team could not kill and wound more than half of the Japanese troops in the first wave of attacks, then they could fall into the counterattack of the Japanese army.

The mercenary captain raised his binoculars and looked around, and after a while, another wave of Japanese soldiers appeared in his sight, and the number of Japanese soldiers in this group was also about 200 people. "Damn, the little devil is really insidious, there are less than 500 people in total, and they are actually divided into front and rear teams, thinking that Lao Tzu is afraid of you, Lao Tzu is going to beat you today" The mercenaries of Thunder are all proud, and the more the search team of the Fifth Division makes such a defensive appearance, the more the mercenaries want to touch the so-called tiger butt.

"Lao Luo, take your people back 200 meters to hide, and when you see that the mines are stepped on by the Japanese army, you take advantage of the chaos to shoot." The mercenary captain separates his four snipers separately, and the advantage of the snipers is distance and surprise, and mixing with them with submachine guns will only weaken the sniper's combat power. "Remember, don't fight, just continue to retreat, let's lead them to fight slowly." Before parting, the mercenary captain pulled the sniper Lao Luo and carefully admonished a few more words.

"Brothers, hurry up and bury mines, Lao Ma, you and the medical officer take the things we don't need for the time being, and retreat with Lao Luo and them, and let's meet at the place where we eat in the morning." The old horse and the medical officer who were named were not hypocritical, and left with the snipers with the backpacks that other mercenaries had placed on the ground. After a fight with the Japanese army, speed determines everything, and it is impossible for the mercenaries to exchange fire with the Japanese army with their backpacks, so it is absolutely necessary to travel lightly.

"Lao Tzu will give you a Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers Array" More than a dozen mines brought by the entire team have been buried, although the mercenary captain is not sure that the Japanese army will definitely go here, but he definitely has a way to make the Japanese army obediently obey. "I'll give you some more ingredients" The mercenary who had that good thing also picked up a lot of rocks around and piled them up in the minefield, and when the mines were detonated, these seemingly harmless pieces of rubble were no different from shrapnel, and the lethality was not ordinary.

"Okay? The Japanese army came up, 400 miles away." The mercenary in charge of the lookout turned around and asked urgently, the mercenary in charge of removing the traces heard the words and moved a little faster, the premise of the successful triggering of the mine is concealment, if it is discovered by the Japanese army because of negligence, it will be worth the loss. Hearing that the Japanese advance team was only 400 meters away from them, the mercenary captain approached the lookout post with his Garand rifle.

"Saw, tell everyone to retreat 50 meters to hide, and I'll leave after I finish this magazine." The mercenary captain slowly poked his gun out of the grass and aimed in the direction of the Japanese coming. There were only four snipers in the entire squad and he was using a long gun, and the rest were all submachine guns, and the only way to lead this group of Japanese soldiers into a minefield was his Garand. There is an order prohibiting this in the list of thunder mercenaries, and although the other mercenaries are not very satisfied with their captain staying to lure the enemy, they still retreat one after another according to the order.

"These rabbit cubs are too ruthless, damn, I don't know how to leave someone to accompany me, if Lao Tzu dies, the ghost will not let you ruthless guys go." The mercenary captain looked left and right to see if there was anything missing, and muttered to himself boredly. The Japanese front team was getting closer and closer to his position, and the bullets in the chamber were already loaded, and they could be fired just before the Japanese could enter Garand's range.

Pick up the binoculars again and look at the rear of this group of Japanese troops, yes, it is still two groups of Japanese troops, the distance between them is only five or six hundred meters, if you run with all your strength, it will not take a few minutes for these two groups of Japanese troops to be united. "Damn, you are a grandson monkey who can't be killed, and Lao Tzu will try your catties and taels today." Putting the binoculars back into the leather case on his waist, the mercenary captain raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the first wave of Japanese troops who had entered within 150 meters. Shooting is a standing training subject for mercenaries, and each mercenary has shot countless bullets in training, and hitting a target at a position of 100 meters with Garand is their basic training.

"Pap" "Pap" shot two bullets in a row, the mercenary captain holding the rifle moved quickly and moved about a distance of about ten meters to his right rear side, without thinking about the time at all, he half-knelt and raised the gun when he changed to the new position, "Pap" "Pap" Two more bullets shot out of the chamber, and the mercenary captain moved his position again. Four bullets knocked down four Japanese soldiers, such a shooting performance is quite satisfactory, holding a few binoculars to look at it, the mercenary captain began to fight and retreat, his original intention was to introduce the Japanese army into the mine array, these few cold shots are enough.

After being killed by four soldiers in a row, the Japanese army finally locked the position of the opponent's gunner, and the Japanese commander had judged that the opponent had only one gunner from beginning to end, and the gunfire was just the other party's suspicion. The rear of the Japanese army 500 meters away did not know this, as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire in front, the officer commanding the rear team ordered his soldiers to rush forward with a roar, the fifth division attaches great importance to military merits, and when it encounters an attack, it means that there are enemy troops in front, and seizing the enemy is a military merit, and who will let go of such an opportunity.

"Oh, my old arms and legs are about to break." The mercenary captain who ran out of a magazine plunged into the shallow pit that the mercenaries had prepared for a long time, and he was busy shouting his hard work, which caused the mercenaries in the shallow pit to laugh sideways. "Don't laugh, give Lao Tzu a good look, the mine will explode in a while, Lao Luo's side will fight first, let's hide first." After the Japanese army found out that Lao Luo and there were only four of them, they specified that they would play some tricks to outflank the middle and attract firepower, we don't care so much, concentrate firepower to knock out one of them and retreat, and we must not force ourselves with them. ”

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Before the mercenary captain finished speaking, he heard that the minefield over there had exploded, and he took out his binoculars and looked at it from afar, but he couldn't see anything but smoke and flames. The fact that he can't see it doesn't mean that the snipers who have occupied the high point can't see it, after the mine is triggered, the Japanese soldiers who have not been affected by the explosion have reacted and lie on the ground, but their khaki military uniforms are too conspicuous, and it may be difficult for the snipers not to see it.

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" condescending snipers hunted all the Japanese soldiers who appeared in the sniper scope with sniper rifles equipped with silencers, and as one after another Japanese soldiers lying on the ground were shot and screamed or killed, the Japanese soldiers began to panic, and the inability to hear the gunshots was the main reason for their panic. However, the officer leading the team quickly calculated the direction of the bullet according to the principle of ballistics, "Fire, fire at the high ground in front." "As soon as the Japanese gunners who had followed the order opened the boxes of mortar shells, they were hit on their backs and fell to the ground by the bullets fired.

Lao Luo led his snipers to fight more and more bravely, and it seemed that he wanted to kill all the Japanese troops below with the four sniper rifles in his hand, but the Japanese army was not so easy to fight, and it was impossible to completely suppress them with only four sniper rifles. "Boom" "Boom" The grenadiers hiding behind the corpses of their companions began to bombard the high ground where Lao Luo and them were hiding with grenadiers, although the grenadier grenades failed to hit Lao Luo and them, but the smoke rose blocked the snipers' vision, and the Japanese took the opportunity to move forward quickly, bushes, weeds and stones were places where they could hide, and the situation began to be unfavorable to the snipers.

Seeing that the Japanese army reacted, Lao Luo, who felt that he had no chance to take advantage of it, began to retreat with snipers, and there was still a favorable terrain behind them, and Lao Luo planned to slowly lead these Japanese soldiers to fight. The retreating figures of the snipers were seen by the Japanese army, and the officer who led the team saw that the snipers had retreated, and immediately came to their senses and immediately ordered the pursuit. The Japanese soldiers who were suppressed on the ground by the snipers were all angry, and when they heard the order to pursue, they got up and chased after them.
