Chapter Thirty-Six: Retreat

  The devils behind were riding on motorcycles, shooting at the truck in front, but due to the bumpy road, the devils' bullets were either flying high or wide. The loud thunder and small raindrops of bullets flew past the soldiers' ears. Several snipers lay in the back trunk, propping themselves up against the rear hatch, firing shot after shot at the devils. Through the sniper scope, the devils' ferocious faces could be seen clearly. As they pulled the trigger, "bang", a large blood hole appeared in the middle of their ferocious face.

  Under the sniper's deadly blow, every gunshot had a devil falling off the motorcycle or leaning back on the rear seat. Soon all the devils riding motorcycles were shot down and lost control of their vehicles, which fell to the ground. The devils who fell to the ground hastily got up and fired at the truck that was gradually moving away.

  However, it did not pose any threat to the preceding truck. The pursuing Jingjiu Yilang didn't even bother to wipe off the mud on his face, drew out his command knife and shouted: "Charge! The Chinese are fleeing on foot, our stronghold is just ahead. Pursue!" He led the charge in the direction of the fleeing truck.

  "There are devils in front of the master's seat! It seems there are still a lot of them!" Iron Cow shouted loudly, pointing to the front while sitting in the passenger seat. Zhang Mingyu stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.

  The two cars behind also came to a complete stop. Zhang Mingyu opened the car door, jumped out of the car and shouted loudly: "Brothers, get off the bus quickly! Snipers block the enemy, cover our retreat."

  The warriors jumped off the car one after another, and the devils at the front stronghold discovered that they had stopped the car and rushed over. The women in the second truck also all jumped off the car.

  "Zhang Mingyu ordered: 'Gangzi, you quickly take the special forces to protect these women and retreat! I'll lead the snipers to cover for us! Retreat quickly!'"

  Li Gang said: "Master, you brought them here to frame me!"

  "Shut up and stop wasting my time! Get out of here!" Zhang Mingyu kicked Li Gang.

  "Brothers, let's retreat!" Li Gang said resolutely, leading those women to withdraw towards the mountainous area.

  Just then, Jingjiu Yilang also arrived with his team, and the snipers began to shoot at the rear of the truck. The devils in front set up a mortar and started firing at the truck. "Boom" The shell landed near the truck, injuring two snipers.

  Zhang Mingyu fired a Czech-style machine gun at the devils behind him, spitting out a burst of flames, and shouted loudly: "Hai Sheng, retreat!"

  Zhang Haisheng shot and killed a devil running in the front row, shouting loudly: "Brothers, take turns covering and retreat!" The snipers took turns covering each other and retreated up the mountain slope. With every shot of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle, there was a crisp sound, and another devil's skull would be blown open.

  The officer of the devils yelled: "Baga Yaga! The Chinese have a godly sniper, bombardment! Get them killed for me!" Four 85mm mortars fired sinful shells at the retreating sniper warriors, and two more soldiers fell into the blood pool.

  The two wounded soldiers did not retreat, but instead leaned against the truck and fired at the enemy tenaciously. When their bullets were exhausted, the devils closed in on them. They pulled the trigger of their last hand grenade, "Boom!" The explosion ignited the oil tank of the car, "Boom boom" several loud explosions followed, and three trucks also exploded. The flames instantly engulfed more than a dozen devils who were close by, while other devils who heard the explosion sound fell to the ground.

  Rolling thick smoke billowed into the air from the already burning truck wreckage, the devil officer drew his command knife: "Kill! Pursue!"

  The devils on the ground got up one after another and chased in the direction of the snipers' retreat. At this time, Zhang Mingyu led the sniper team to withdraw into a field, rushing towards the distant mountain, and the devils behind them occasionally fired cold guns, shouting and chasing after them.

  The two large teams of devils behind also arrived, and they all chased after Zhang Mingyu and the others. At this time, Zhang Mingyu was leading the devils in the opposite direction towards Li Gang and the others.

  Only in this way can those women be rescued. If they withdraw together, not only will the rescue operation fail this time, but it is also likely that Zhang Mingyu and his special forces team will not be able to escape, and they may all have to pay the price here.

  Zhang Haisheng personally led two soldiers to cut off the enemy's rear, relying on rocks and trees to knock down the devils who were chasing from behind one by one.

  Iron Bull at the forefront shouted: "Master, there is no road ahead, it's a cliff!" "Ambush here!"

  Soon, Zhang Mingyu and the snipers each found a good cover, and the devils were crawling up the mountain like ants. Seeing the devils getting closer and closer, Zhang Mingyu shouted: "Fire!" The Czech-style light machine gun in his hand let out a roar, and the blocking hands calmly fired fatal bullets at the devils. Tie Niu's crooked-handled light machine gun also roared, and the two light machine guns fired long and short shots, one after another, and the devils climbing up were knocked down one by one.

  The devil officer under the mountain saw that the Chinese soldiers on the mountain were no longer running, and laughed: "Ha! The Chinese have no way out! Kill them all!"

  The Kwantung Army's pursuit team was soon beaten back, and the squad leader said to the Japanese officer: "The Chinese are very cunning! The mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have suffered heavy casualties!"

  The devil officer was furious: "Baga! You rice bucket! Fool! The second squad attacks!" A devil company commander drew his command knife.

  Kyokuro Ichiro said to the lieutenant colonel, "Lieutenant Colonel, please let me take my men and join the attack. I want to kill all the Chinese on the mountain to comfort my brother's spirit!"

  "Very well, Lieutenant Commander, take your men and charge ahead!" The commander said with a sinister smile.

  The second wave of the devils' attack began soon, this time the four mortars of the devils fired fiercely, and the mountain top was immediately filled with the sound of explosions. However, due to the snipers being relatively scattered, and the trees blocking the devils' artillerymen's line of sight, after wasting dozens of rounds of ammunition, the devils did not cause any harm to the snipers.

  After the cannon fire stopped, the enemy's assault troops had already climbed halfway up the mountain. Suddenly, from a place where there was no one before, a machine gun roared out, and a crimson flame instantly swept more than ten devils to the ground. The remaining devils hastily lay down on the ground, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a hand grenade suddenly flew out, and with a loud "boom", several devils who were lying on the ground were blown up, crying out in anguish.

  More than 20 devils were wiped out, and soon the devil's machine gun firepower swept to the place where the machine gun was fired earlier. All that could be heard was the "ding" sound of bullets hitting the rocks, but there was no one there. It turned out that after Iron Bull threw the grenade, he retreated up the mountain. After the devil's machine gunner finished firing a burst of bullets, the remaining devils rushed to the place where the bullets were fired earlier and used bayonets to poke open the withered grass, only to find no one inside.

  The attacking Oni squad leader burst into a furious scolding: "Baka! The Chinese are cunning to the extreme!" Kyokuroku Taro led his squad straight towards the mountain head, his subordinates originally had more than 80 people, belonging to an enhanced squad, but during the pursuit, more than 20 were killed by snipers, now only 60 people remained. Kyokuroku Ichiro personally hugged a machine gun and fiercely opened fire towards the mountain head, his subordinates also received the squad leader's bravery and shouted loudly as they attacked the mountain head.
