As Sakata hurried back to his group, the sound of gunfire had faded down the hillsides on either side of the road.

Still, he was furious when he saw his soldiers scattered across the road, in a mess.

roared angrily and asked his chief of staff, Komori Hiroyoshi Nakasa:

"Yaga!

Komori-kun, what's going on? ”

Komori Haokichi hurriedly ran over to report:

"Your Excellency, Wing Captain, just now when Wing Captain Pingchuan was clearing mines with his sappers, more than 20 earth and eight-way elite marksmen suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides!

They opened fire and attacked and killed the captain of the Pingchuan Wing and a dozen sappers!

I've now arranged for Kashima-kun to lead the first brigade to pursue!

It should be possible to catch these dirt rats back soon! ”

The more than 20 Dohachi mentioned by Komori Haoji are, of course, the sharpshooter squad led by Wang Xikui.

On the orders of Yang Yuanshan, they went out to attack and disturb the little devils.

When I walked here, I happened to find that the little devil was blocked by a mine array, and a group of sappers were clearing mines, and I was immediately ecstatic.

Wang Xikui didn't wait for it to get dark, and immediately ordered the soldiers to find their own advantageous positions, and then lay down and attacked a wave of little devil sappers.

He knew very well that technical arms such as engineers were much more valuable than ordinary infantry, and it was not so easy for little devils to cultivate.

Just kill a few, it's enough for the little devil to feel distressed.

……

Sakata Naotoshi's eyes widened when he heard Komori Haokichi's report.

With a horrified face, he asked:

"Nani? Hirakawa Junyu is broken? ”

A captain of the Great Zuo Wing, the jade was broken like this, and he felt a little sad and sad.

"Yes.

Hirakawa-kun was shot in the forehead by an enemy and had no chance of being rescued at all. ”

"Yaga!

The abominable dirt road!! ”

Naotoshi Sakata trembled with anger.

Seeing that the sappers in front of him were all cowering aside, not daring to clear mines again, he immediately rushed over, brandished his command knife, and shouted at them:

"You waste, don't drip quickly, continue to clear mines!

Your Excellency the division commander has an order, you can't clear the mines in half an hour, so let you explore the way in front! ”

When the sappers heard this, they immediately secretly cried out in their hearts.

Xindao: When I first joined the army and was fooled into being a sapper, no one told me that sappers would be so dangerous!!

But now their co-captain is also broken, and no one will speak for them, so they can only nod honestly and agree, and run to clear the mines.

I prayed silently in my heart: Grandpa Balu, don't bully us anymore!

……

Watching these timid sappers go to work tremblingly, Sakata Naotoshi pondered: With this little person, it will definitely be impossible to clear the mines in half an hour, and you have to add people.

So he immediately sent people to the engineer wing behind and ordered them to transfer a brigade of engineers to help clear the mines.

The chief of staff of the Engineer Wing, Takuya Tsuchiya, couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard that his own wing commander had died in front.

Secretly said that he finally had a chance to take the position.

Hurriedly personally arrived with a brigade of sappers to join the demining team.

For this guy to be so active, Sakata Naojun couldn't help but be very satisfied, and hurriedly said:

"Tugu-kun, you really have the courage to do anything.

I will report your performance to His Excellency the Division Commander truthfully. ”

Takuya Tsuchiya knew that this guy was now the confidant of the head of the Autumn Leaves Division, and hurriedly squeezed out a little smile:

"Thank you, Sakata-kun.

Demining is the duty of our sappers! ”

At this time, only an explosion was heard-

"Boom!"

One sapper failed to clear the mine, and an S-mine jumped out of the ground and exploded.

Four or five sappers were wounded on the spot.

Seeing this, Takuya Tsuchiya immediately scolded:

"Yaga! This unlearned waste! ”

Then he calmly waved his hand and ordered:

"Carry them down, and the others continue to demine!"

……

Thanks to the hard work of this brigade of engineers, the nearly 200 remaining mines in this minefield that had not yet exploded were finally dug up within half an hour.

Takuya Tsuchitani said to Naotoshi Sakata with a relaxed face:

"Sakata-kun, all the mines have been cleared, and you can continue on the march."

"It's hard work."

Naotoshi Sakata nodded, very satisfied.

Hurriedly sent someone to the back to inform Akiba Ryuxian, and then prepared to order the whole team to continue to set off.

But at this time, Chief of Staff Komori Hirokichi hurriedly reminded:

"Kashima-kun went to chase the sneak attack of the Dirt Eight Road, and he hasn't come back yet."

Hearing that his first brigade had gone out to pursue the enemy for half an hour and had not yet returned, Naotoshi Sakata suddenly felt a little bad.

Hurriedly ordered:

"Hurry up, send someone to recall them!

Beware of the ambush of the Dirt Eight Road! ”

……

It is said that Wang Xikui took more than 20 of his sharpshooters and attacked the little devil sappers, and immediately shifted his position and retreated.

But what he didn't expect was that the little devil actually sent a team to chase and kill them, which immediately made him speechless.

couldn't help but curse in his heart: Didn't Lao Tzu kill more than a dozen of your sappers, as for making such a big move?

Sending thousands of people to hunt down and kill Lao Tzu is too much to look up to Lao Tzu, right?

How did he know that the shot he had just fired was to kill a little devil and the captain of the Great Zuo Wing!

And he is also a sapper wing captain, far more valuable than the wing captain of an ordinary wing!

Although the little devil is still a long way from the soldiers, Wang Xikui knows that he can't run all the way without resistance, so he will be caught up sooner or later.

So he immediately ordered his deputy squad leader Xu Guangyun:

"Yunzi, there are a lot of little devils, let's run like this is not a way.

Hurry up to Duanjia Village in front and find someone from the special operations company to cover for us!

I will take the little devil to the small canyon we passed through in front of us, and you let the monks ambush them there. ”

They came out together with Wei Dayong's special operations company, and Wei Dayong chose Duanjia Village as a temporary foothold, preparing to wait for dark to sneak attack the little devils.

And he couldn't hold back his loneliness, so he came out with the soldiers in broad daylight, that's why there was such an incident.

Xu Guangyun knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't care to say much, so he immediately yelled:

"Yes!"

Then he took a big stride and ran forward, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

……

Seeing that Xu Guangyun had gone, Wang Xikui immediately ordered:

"Little Mencius, Big Donkey, Qingzi, you all stay and block with me, and retreat while fighting!

Others, to the front ambush, a group of five, each group 800 meters apart, echelon blocking! ”

Of course, he is like this to restore the physical strength of the soldiers, otherwise he will not be able to outrun the little devil all the way.

"Understood!"

The fighters shouted in unison.

Soon, Wang Xikui stopped with Little Mencius, Big Donkey, and Qingzi, held the rifle in his hand, and waited for the little devil to enter their range.

At this time, Xiao Mencius asked with a smile:

"Squad leader, how many little devils have you killed?

Look at the butt of your gun, it's all engraved with horizontal lines! ”

Every time Wang Xikui killed a little devil, he carved a line on the butt of his gun, and now when he heard the little Mencius ask, he looked down and immediately grinned:

"There shouldn't be many, just a few dozen.

When I turned back, I counted. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mencius couldn't help but be very envious:

"Squad leader, you are so powerful, there are dozens of them.

I've only killed a dozen of them, and I don't know when I'll catch up with you! ”

"Hehe, you kid has a lot of heart, and you still want to catch up with me!

Then you'll have to practice your marksmanship. ”

Wang Xikui grinned.

Immediately, seeing that the little devil had reached seven or eight hundred meters away, he immediately ordered:

"Don't talk, prepare to shoot, be sure to release the gun, although we have a lot of bullets, but we can't waste them!"

"Understood!"

……

Soon, the gunshots of "pao go" and "pao go" rang out.

The little devils who ran the fastest were hit and fell to the ground one after another, causing the other little devils to squeak and scream, and quickly stopped.

The gun in his hand also began to shoot indiscriminately, and bullets flew indiscriminately.

All of a sudden, the little devil's pursuit team became a little chaotic.

Wang Xikui and the others were not in love with war, and as soon as they interrupted the pursuit momentum of the little devils, they stopped shooting, got up and ran.

The next group of fighters will take their place.

In this way, round by round, he has always maintained a certain distance from the little devils.

Angered the little devils so much that they almost vomited blood.

Everyone wants to catch them and break them to pieces.

……

Time passed quickly.

About half an hour later, Wang Xikui and the others finally ran to the small canyon they had passed when they came.

The ravines are narrow and the cliffs are opposite, making it a good place to fight and fight.

But at this moment, it was very quiet, and there was no ambush at all.

Only the sound of the wind whimpering through the canyon.

When the warrior Xiao Mengzi saw this situation in the canyon, he couldn't help but anxiously ask Wang Xikui:

"Squad leader, the special operations company hasn't arrived yet, has it?

Why is there no movement? ”

Wang Xikui also beat the drum in his heart, and said in his heart: I won't plant it this time, right?

The little devil raised by the son of a bitch is too good to chase!

But as a squad leader, of course he couldn't show cowardice, and immediately said firmly:

"Rest assured, comrades, I believe in the comrades of the Special Operations Company!

As long as Yunzi brings the message, they will definitely come to meet us. ”

Hearing him say this, the warriors who followed him were also relieved, and continued to run all the way into the canyon.

At this time, the little devil had already chased two or three hundred meters behind them, and frantically fired his gun at them.

"Smack! Smack! The gunshots rang out incessantly, and bullets flew in the air.

The warriors were all nervous, running desperately, and they didn't even dare to slow down their breath.

Everyone understands that there are many little devils, and as long as they are one step slower, they may be shot and killed.

And at their most critical moment, suddenly, a "aggressive" voice sounded.

Wang Xikui immediately shouted in surprise:

"Comrades, it's a Type 92 heavy machine gun!

The Special Operations Company is here to pick us up!

Quick, climb the cliff next to you, let's give the little devil a hard blow! ”

Hearing his order, the warriors were all overjoyed.

Scrambled to turn and climb up the cliffs on either side of the canyon.

The cliffs here are not very steep, and there are plenty of trees to draw on, so it's not too difficult to climb.

The most important thing is that at this moment a few hemp ropes were suddenly thrown down from the cliff, and a man poked his head out and shouted to them:

"Squad leader, quickly pull the rope and climb up!"
