The artillery group has been shelled for a while, which is indeed a bit disgusting to the Japanese army, and you don't dare to show your head to fight back, so honestly nest over there and wait for me to slowly clean you up. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army, but is the Japanese army, which has a combined force of 30,000 troops, really a turtle in an urn? The answer, of course, is no.

At first, Mutaguchi Ryoya thought that the miraculous thunder that was blown by the outside world was only slightly stronger than the so-called elite troops of China, and he was proud and confident that he didn't take the thunder in his eyes at all. Since landing in Hangzhou Bay in 1937 with the Shanghai Dispatch Army, he has been fighting with various factions of the Chinese army, each time in the role of an attacker, and has never fought a defensive war.

This time, out of the strict order of the base camp, he asked his division and the 55th division to join forces to go north, but he was a little unimpressed. However, the duty of a soldier is to obey, so Mutaguchi Lian also carried out the order without hesitation, even if he looked down on Takeuchi and his 55th Division from the bottom of his heart. Although the troops did not carry too many heavy weapons due to the problem of marching, he was still confident that he could cut off the so-called back road of Thunder within the stipulated time and turn Lashio into a meat grinder.

But since the troops crossed the Salween River, the good fortune of the 18th Division seems to have been far away from them, no matter how the vanguard troops searched for the way forward, as long as it was dark, those Burmese dressed in black would launch endless sneak attacks on the camp. Moreover, the Burmese who wielded imperial weapons did not seem to be the same as the Burmese in Mutaguchiya's impression, and they seemed to be more organized than the Burmese attackers that Mutaguchi also met in Yangon Harbor. They were skilful in their coordinated movements, skillful in coordinating with each other when attacking, never dragging their feet in the mud and water when they retreated, and they did not seem to be accustomed to leaving behind any wounded or corpses, not even the weapons they had dropped.

What made Mutaguchi even more flustered was that the 30,000 men of the 18th Division and the 55th Division were firmly blocked by the invisible blockers, although they were only less than 10 miles away from the destination of Lashio, the slope in front of them seemed to be an insurmountable moat. The opponent's artillery still kept bombarding their own troops from time to time, although this scattering did not hurt the troops, but it really dispersed the soldiers' hearts for battle, and the morale of the troops had dropped to the lowest point.

Mutaguchi Ryoya and Yan Wudao, who were testing each other, now know that the other party is not a good stubble, and both sides didn't look at each other at first, but now they finally have the spirit of 120,000 points, looking for the opponent's flaws, and hope that the other party had better make another stupid move. However, it is a pity that the two warring parties, one is a experienced loach on the battlefield, who is delusional and wants to attack by retreating to find the opponent's weaknesses and flaws, and the other is Yan Wudao, who slowly arranges various means to suppress and tease the Japanese army, both of whom are stubborn people who have made up their minds and will not change.

The number of troops after Mutaguchi Ryoya and Takeuchi Kuan joined forces reached 30,000, which was his biggest advantage, although the troops lacked the necessary heavy weapons, but how could he dare to fight a positional battle with Yan Wudao, the slope in front of him may not be on foot, but now it seems that Mutaguchi Ryoya himself has not made up his mind to fight to the death with Yan Wudao. Mutaguchi Lian is still waiting, judging from his years of experience in the army and the performance of the other party just now, he stubbornly believes that his opponent is by no means a person who can calm down, although the opponent is well-armed and has a strong steel fortress like no land, but as long as the opponent is impatient and shows flaws, he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

This is just a unilateral idea of Mutaguchi Ryoya, but he doesn't know that Yan Wudao, who is hidden opposite him, has already made up his mind to be a turtle-like figure with a retracted head. The mercenary unit led by Yan Wudao can be called three more troops among all the troops in Thunder, with more guns, more ammunition, and more sharpshooters, and there is a 25-pound field artillery group behind him to support him, with such powerful conditions, Yan Wudao will not be stupid enough to order his mercenaries to attack the Japanese army, his task now is to keep teasing the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army will lose their minds and attack their positions first.

Both sides of the war were waiting for the other to show their flaws first, and the fiery battlefield that had been fought half an hour ago fell eerily silent, and the only ones who continued to fight were the snipers who were scattered outside by Yan Wudao. Sniper is a class of troops that Zhao Zhi has been secretly cultivating, from decades later, Zhao Zhi knows that the role of snipers in the battle is irreplaceable, and it is also a necessary class to launch a fatal blow to the opponent, and a good sniper can even dominate the victory or defeat of a battle.

There are two kinds of snipers in Thunder, one is the sniper in the regular army, and most of the snipers are foreign soldiers in the Jewish army, who only cooperate with the attacking troops to do fixed-point target removal in conventional warfare. The other is the sniper belonging to the mercenary unit, the number of snipers in this part has exceeded 500 people, and the new sniper rifle is equipped with the research and development of the tuner, which makes the sniper of the mercenary unit more powerful. These people are not only the sharp weapons in Zhao Zhi's hands, but also the only ace force in the Thunder Army that can serve as an all-terrain operation, especially the ability to fight in the mountains and jungles is not even comparable to the sweeping team.

Although the snipers scattered outside by Yan Wudao were only 40 people, with their superb tactical level, they still gave the Japanese army a lot of casualties, and the first wave of more than 300 Japanese soldiers who entered the poisonous smoke area and wanted to fish in troubled waters did not run, and all of them were left under the hillside by the snipers. With the order to besiege the Japanese army with Yan Wudao, the snipers who had taken advantage began to change positions, and with the help and reminder of the forward scouts, the snipers had moved to the two flanks of the Japanese army. To be honest, these snipers trained by Ye Kong and Zhao Jinquan are all arrogant people, if their weapons can support the whole battle, and the ammunition can be replenished in time, the snipers don't mind killing all the 30,000 Japanese troops here.

It was only a one-sided action, and the snipers were not interested in determining their shooting results according to the sniper unit's code of conduct, according to the way the Thunder Force confirmed the sniper results - the target did not move for fifteen minutes after the sniper fired, and at the same time, it was necessary to observe the confirmation of the hand. But now the snipers are full of Japanese soldiers from the sniper scope, and the snipers who are eager to shoot the Japanese soldiers still have to take care of the regulations, just busy shooting the bullets in their own guns, striving to shoot more Japanese soldiers in the shortest possible time, so there are not many opportunities to shoot and kill the target as much as they want.

The sniper's bizarre shooting was as terrifying to the Japanese as the bombardment of a 25-pounder field artillery group, and with the addition of a silencer, the new magazine sniper rifle was better suited for assassination than for large-scale regular combat. The Japanese soldiers who were targeted by the snipers often did not hear the gunshots, and the whole person had already been shot and fell to the ground, and the sound of shooting isolated by the silencer was no different from the humming of mosquitoes 100 meters away, not to mention that the snipers often shot 300 meters away, so the Japanese soldiers would only watch their companions fall to the ground inexplicably, but they could not find the shadow of the attacker and the sound of gunfire.

"Yaga, damn Thunder, immediately send out the search team, search the surroundings, and find the troops of Thunder to bite them to death, and then kill them all" Mutaguchi Lian also didn't say anything, Takeuchi Kuan, who was sitting next to him, was anxious, most of the soldiers and low-level officers who were shot by the Thunder sniper were soldiers and low-level officers belonging to the 55th Division, and if he didn't stop the shooting of the enemy sharpshooter, the low-level officers of his 55th Division would be killed.

Takeuchi's thunderous leap made the Japanese army's reaction a little strange, the men of the 18th Division just cowered in the Japanese line as usual, while the men of the 55th Division attacked like flies in all directions to find the attackers from the Thunder troops. The reaction of the 55th Division was in line with the snipers' intentions, and the 30,000 Japanese troops gathered together looked at the boss of Wuyang, and the slightest carelessness would provoke a meal of guns because of revealing their position. Now the Japanese squadron is different, the snipers can rely on the ultra-long range of the sniper rifle to slowly eat the Japanese search team that pursues them.

The number of Japanese search teams chasing out of the Japanese army became smaller and smaller as more and more snipers joined, and the search team of the 55th Division that broke out of the Japanese front line had become the prey of the snipers. "Brother Huang, you can remember your results yourself, you are fighting too fast, I can't count them" Xiao Man, the observer who helped Huang Can reload the bullets in the magazine, squinted at Huang Can who was concentrating on shooting the Japanese army with some dissatisfaction.

The new magazine sniper rifle is good, but it is too wasted bullets, Xiaoman keeps filling bullets, but it still can't supply Huang Can's shooting speed, a 5-round magazine, Huang Can can shoot all 5 bullets in less than a minute, but when Xiaoman secretly exclaimed that his wrist was numb, Huang Can and his group of shooters were also the group that shot the most Japanese soldiers. Huang Can didn't pay attention to what Xiao Man was saying, there were a few Japanese search soldiers who had slipped through the net more than 200 meters in front of him, and Huang Can would not watch them escape.

Mutaguchi Ryoya's contemplation and Yan Wudao's acquiescence have made the Japanese army and the mercenaries now in a stalemate, but the snipers under Yan Wudao are breaking this stalemate little by little, Yan Wudao doesn't know how long the Japanese army can endure, but he knows that as the sniper's results are endlessly expanded, the Japanese army on the opposite side will eventually be unable to endure it. Yan Wudao's purpose is to stick to this group of Japanese soldiers here, as long as he can entangle this group of Japanese soldiers, what means his mercenaries use against the enemy, this is not something that Yan Wudao needs to consider.
