Chapter 196 Sniper? I'll use a mortar "Captain, a few Japanese soldiers ran away from below!" Although the firepower of the Sixth Company was very strong, there were still a few Japanese soldiers who were luckier and faster and rushed out of the open space, ran down the gentle slope, and disappeared from everyone's sight with the help of the gentle slope. Lin Sanhuo looked at the direction where the Japanese devils fled and quickly asked Qin Yangming beside him. "Captain, a few Japanese soldiers escaped. Should we chase them?" Listening to what Lin Sanhuo said, Qin Yangming waved his hand. "No, let the assault platoon take care of those little devils that escaped. We now need to join up with the main force and prepare to launch an attack on the little devil's Fourth Brigade." Qin Yangming rejected Lin Sanhuo's suggestion to chase after the escaped Japanese devils. There are only a few Japanese devils left, and the assault platoon can easily take care of them. If the assault platoon can't even deal with these few Japanese devils, then there is no need for the assault platoon to stay.
Moreover, Qin Yangming’s most important task now is not to completely wipe out the special forces team, but to command the vanguard regiment to attack the Japanese Fourth Brigade. The special forces team fighting against the Japanese were just an appetizer before the main dish from the 4th Brigade. Qin Yangming glanced at the corpses of the Japanese special forces at the bottom of the cliff, and his eyes were attracted by a radio carried on the body of one of the Japanese corpses. "Radio... Let's go down and see if the radio can still be used. I hope the Japs brought the code book with them or the radio is still maintaining its own communication channel." After saying that, Qin Yangming asked the machine gunner and sniper to keep an eye on him. He was the first to flip down the cliff and grabbed the rope left by the Japanese devils, preparing to slide down the cliff. "Let me see how the Japs fastened the ropes... Rock pitons?" Qin Yangming grabbed the rope left by the Japanese soldiers and looked at the thing they had inserted between the cracks in the cliff with some curiosity. Qin Yangming had no good ideas for climbing walls and cliffs. The current manufacturing level of the Eighth Route Army is not good, and they cannot produce many climbing tools of their time. So the assault platoon used some old methods when they were climbing cliffs and so on. For those below five meters, Qin Yangming can have people climb up with bare hands or build a human ladder. If the height exceeds this, below ten meters, you will need to use items such as bamboo poles to assist in climbing. The soldiers of the assault platoon grabbed the bamboo pole and put their legs on the stone wall or the wall. The soldiers below grabbed the other end of the bamboo pole and pushed upwards hard. Then the climbing soldiers quickly climbed up with the support of the bamboo pole. If you are at a high place, you can only use hooks to assist in climbing. Therefore, Qin Yangming was somewhat curious about the climbing methods of Yamamoto's special forces team. He wanted to see if there were any differences between their climbing methods and his own, and whether there was anything he could learn from them. Qin Yangming looked at the items that Yamamoto's special forces had inserted into the crevice of the rock, and examined them with some curiosity. On the surface, it seemed that the Japanese soldiers in Yamamoto Ikki's special forces used rock bolts to assist in climbing. But if you look closely, the items that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces inserted into the cracks in the rocks do not look like the clips of his time. "Dagger? Oh, so this is it. I can use it."
Qin Yangming pulled hard with his right hand and pulled out the thing that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces had hammered into the crevice of the rock. "Kunai... Ninja?" Qin Yangming naturally recognized the thing in his hand that looked neither like a dagger nor a flying knife. Looking at the thing in his hand, Qin Yangming also understood how Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team climbed up the cliff. It's nothing more than great effort making miracles happen. First, have someone climb up the cliff with bare hands, then drive a large number of kunai into the cracks in the rocks, and finally tie ropes to the tails of the kunai. The weight is borne by a large number of kunai stuck in the cracks of the rocks, allowing those who are not good at free climbing to climb up the cliff. At the same time, the kunai stuck in the crevice can provide a foothold, so that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team can grab the rope with one hand and raise the gun with the other hand to attack the top of the cliff. Qin Yangming looked at the kunai in his hand which had not changed in any way, and then struck it. Hearing the crisp metal knocking sound, Qin Yangming immediately gave instructions to Lin Sanhuo who was on the cliff. "Lin Sanhuo, arrange for someone to take out all these things on the cliff for me, as well as these ropes. Remember, do not cut them with a knife. I want them intact!" The kunai is obviously made of alloy steel, and the material used is very good. The nylon rope tied to the tail of the kunai is light in weight and has strong load-bearing capacity. How could Qin Yangming let go of such a good thing? It can be put away just in time to be used by the assault platoon later. "Captain, no problem, I'll arrange for someone to pick it up right away." Lin Sanhuo responded to Qin Yangming while holding the rope around his waist and climbing down the cliff. Soon, the soldiers of the Sixth Company followed Qin Yangming to the bottom of the cliff. The soldiers of the Sixth Company who came down with them were all real veterans of the Vanguard Regiment. As soon as he came down, without waiting for Lin Sanhuo or Qin Yangming's order, he pulled out the bayonet from his waist and mounted it on the muzzle of the gun. He began to finish off the corpses of the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the cliff. Avoid Japanese soldiers pretending to be dead, or Japanese soldiers who are not completely dead and secretly pull out grenades. Then the rest of the soldiers climbed down from the cliff and began to clean up the battlefield. "Everyone, be careful. If you see anything strange, such as weird equipment, pack it all in boxes and seal it up. Don't move it. Don't touch the Japanese grenades. The Japanese always like to use poison gas bombs, and none of us knows which grenade is a poison gas bomb." Qin Yangming was worried that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces might be carrying poison gas bombs or some strange weapons, and he loudly reminded the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield. Hearing Qin Yangming's reminder, many soldiers responded. Qin Yangming also brought Goudan to the body of the Japanese soldier carrying the radio. Start inspecting this little devil. Goudan didn't care at all about the blood mixed with dust on the Japanese soldier's body. He directly took the radio off the Japanese soldier's body and began to check the radio.
Qin Yangming examined the bodies of the Japanese soldiers to see if they had any items such as code books on them. "Captain, the radio's battery is broken. I don't know if there's something wrong with the radio itself... We need to change the battery to find out." After Goudan checked the radio, he reported his results to Qin Yangming. Qin Yangming also did not find the code book on the Japanese soldier's body. "Okay, I see. I don't find the code book here either. Is there a channel on the radio?" "Captain, there is a channel, but I don't know if it is the one used by the Japanese." "Give it to the Brigade's Confidential Office and have the Brigade try to monitor the Japs' communications." "Everyone, check and seal up the special equipment. Leave the rest of the battlefield to the follow-up troops to clean up. The rest of you, follow me and join the main force immediately!" "Yes!" After Qin Yangming examined Yamamoto Ikki's body, he began to issue orders and prepared to take the Sixth Company to join the Vanguard Regiment. Qin Yangming climbed up the cliff again and reported to the brigade commander as quickly as possible that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces had been basically wiped out. Then he took the reunited Sixth Company and rode a truck to quickly catch up with the vanguard regiment. Prepare to launch an attack on the 4th Brigade. …… "Faster, faster! Damn it, we didn't even raid the Japanese's lair, and they actually dared to raid us? ! Fuck, hurry up, I’m going to skin the Japanese so-called special forces alive! If you let any of the Japanese escape, I will definitely train you first before the regiment commander trains me!" In the mountains, after receiving Qin Yangming's notification, the Japanese special forces reached Baihu Ridge. Duan Peng was completely unsettled. The Japanese special forces team had set out at the same time as them, but the assault platoon didn't even notice the special forces team, and let them get close to Baihu Ridge. After receiving the order, Duan Peng rushed back as quickly as possible with the soldiers of the assault platoon after handing over the reconnaissance mission to the vanguard regiment who arrived first. Hearing Duan Peng's words, the soldiers of the assault platoon were filled with rage. It was always their assault platoon that carried out decapitation operations against the Japanese headquarters. I didn’t expect that the Japanese would dare to carry out a decapitation operation against their headquarters! Fortunately, Qin Yangming discovered the traces of the Japanese devils, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble would have happened. Others may not know, but the soldiers in their assault platoon all know that Baihu Ridge is not only the location of the brigade headquarters, but also the headquarters! "Damn it, are these little devils from Yamamoto Ikki's special forces really that brave?! Don't they know this is our Vanguard Group's territory? ! If you dare to play tricks on our Pioneer Group’s territory, I will chop them into pieces!" Xu Laoliu, carrying his sniper rifle, checked the traces left by Yamamoto Ikki's special forces on the ground, and spoke viciously to the other soldiers around him. The assault platoon conducted reconnaissance along the highway in the direction of Tongshi Town. The fact that they did not discover Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team means that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team crossed mountains and took small paths, passing between the mountains, so they were not discovered by the assault platoon.
Because there is a large vanguard regiment near the avenue, in order to block the escaped Japanese soldiers, Duan Peng led the assault platoon directly into the mountains to look for traces left by the Japanese soldiers. Following the traces left by the Japanese and Duan Peng's own judgment, he headed towards Baihu Ridge. Because they already knew the approximate location of the Japanese's escape and the assault platoon did not need to hide their whereabouts, they rushed back to Baihuling very quickly. Except for some places that are prone to ambushes and require vigilance and the use of tactical movements to move forward alternately, the rest of the time we rush back towards Baihu Ridge as fast as possible. "Platoon leader, the Japs passed through this side. I didn't see any signs of them turning back. The Japs haven't come out yet!" Xu Laoliu checked the footprints on the ground and determined that they were all heading towards Baihu Ridge. He immediately shouted to Duan Peng. "Got it, keep going!" Duan Peng picked up a small piece of cotton cloth from the ground, listened to Xu Laoliu's report on the inspection results, threw away the cloth in his hand, and continued to rush back with the assault platoon. "Humph, the little Japanese are really thoughtful. They are worried about being discovered and even wrap strips of cloth around their shoes to reduce the noise. Fortunately, no sentries were posted outside, otherwise, if they had encountered the Japanese special forces, they would have been in great danger. " Duan Peng glanced at the window covered by the fabric, muttered something, and then continued to lead the special forces team to quickly rush to Baihuling along the traces left by the Japanese. …… "Lin Yinjun, what should we do next?" At the bottom of a slope, four escaped Japanese soldiers from Yamamoto's special forces team bent their bodies and hid under the slope, observing their surroundings vigilantly. At this moment, the four Japanese soldiers were like frightened birds, and they would treat the slightest movement nearby as a great enemy. The three little devils surrounded the ninja Hayashigakure Saki who was specially recruited into the special forces by Yamamoto Ikki, and asked him what they should do. They were able to escape thanks to Lin Yinsaomu. Relying on Lin Yinsaomu's skills, they bypassed the encirclement and search of the Eighth Route Army and successfully withdrew from Baihuling. After seeing Lin Yinsaku's abilities, the other three Japanese soldiers all placed their hopes of escape on Lin Yinsaku, hoping that Lin Yinsaku could successfully lead them out. Listening to the three people's questions, Lin Yin Zuo Mu thought for a while and then spoke. "Now we have no map and no radio, so we can only go east. Maybe we can return to the 4th Brigade. If we go in other directions, we will definitely run into the Eighth Route Army. Let’s go back the same way we came here!” "There is a situation!" "Eighth Route Army!" Just when Lin Yin Zuo Mu was about to take a short rest and prepare to retreat to the 4th Brigade with the other three Japanese devils. One of the four snipers suddenly spoke up to remind them. "Baga, why are there the Eighth Route Army behind us?! When did the Eighth Route Army get there?" A Japanese soldier carrying a submachine gun listened to the sniper's report, immediately stood up and rushed to the sniper's side, watching a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers moving quickly towards where he and others were in the distance. "That group of Eighth Route Army soldiers... why do they look so much like our special forces?!"
"Could it be reinforcements?" The Japanese soldier holding a submachine gun used the scope on the sniper's rifle to look at the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the distance who were performing various tactical actions, and spoke in disbelief. Lin Yin Zuomu, who was below, shook his head decisively after listening to what his companion said. "Impossible, we are the only special forces team in Shanxi, and we have no reinforcements!" "No, that's the enemy!" Lin Yinsaku lay on the slope and observed the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushing over, although the equipment on them was similar to that of their special forces. However, Lin Yin Zuomu still figured out from the opponent's actions that the opponent was not his special forces, but the enemy! …… "Sniper! Dodge!" Xu Laoliu was moving forward quickly with a sniper rifle on his back. Out of his sniper instinct, he kept observing his surroundings while moving forward, especially focusing on some places suitable for ambushes to avoid any ambushes. Xu Laoliu suddenly noticed a faint flash of light in front of him. In the early morning when the sun had not yet fully risen, the seemingly insignificant flash of light became extremely dazzling. Xu Laoliu was a sniper himself. After noticing the unusual flash, he quickly gave a warning! Following Xu Laoliu's reminder, the soldiers of the assault platoon quickly stopped advancing and hid in nearby bunkers. "boom!" As the soldiers of the assault platoon dodged, gunshots were heard from the opposite side, and a bullet hit directly where an assault platoon soldier was originally located. "The Japanese special forces, kill them! Xu Laoliu! " "Leave it to me!" Xu Laoliu lay on the ground, took out the sniper rifle behind him, stuffed an armor-piercing bullet into the barrel, and quickly aimed at the position of the sniper he had just discovered. But the Japanese sniper was very smart. After missing the shot, he quickly changed his position and left the spot. "One o'clock, two hundred meters away! Prepare the mortars!" Realizing that the enemy had changed their position, Xu Laoliu quickly analyzed the nearby terrain. After identifying several positions suitable for sniping, he immediately notified the soldiers of the assault platoon carrying mortars in the back. Xu Laoliu had no intention of engaging in a sniper duel with the other party, as it wasn't just him and the other party. Sniping takes time, energy, and is easy to fail. After all, a sniper rifle needs to determine the opponent's position and be able to see the opponent in order to kill the opponent. But the mortar is different. The accuracy of the mortar may not be as good as that of a sniper rifle, but its power is much greater than that of a sniper rifle. A sniper rifle also needs to see the opponent, but a mortar only needs to know the approximate position of the opponent. We have more than 40 people on our side now, so why should we waste energy? Once we find the location, we can just use mortars directly. As Qin Yangming said, when you find a sniper on the opposite side, the best way is not to send out a sniper to fight against the enemy, but to quickly ask someone to prepare a mortar. When two sides are sniping each other and their skills are similar, if you use a mortar, the opponent will definitely die. At Xu Laoliu's call, a sturdy soldier in the bunker at the back quickly took off the mortar barrel on his back.
The gunner directly inserted the gun barrel into the ground and then aimed at the position Xu Laoliu mentioned. The gunner didn't need a gun mount or anything. He just held the barrel of the mortar with his hand and took out a shell from the backpack behind him. "Tom!" (End of this chapter)
