Chapter Thirty-Seven: Besieged

  The devils shouted and attacked the mountain head, several crooked machine guns were set up on the slope below to shoot blindly at the mountain, trying to suppress the firepower of the branch above. Zhang Mingyu and Tie Niu's machine gun had just been fired without a machine gun, and was suppressed by the devil's multiple machine gun fire. Without machine guns, relying solely on more than 20 sniper rifles is not enough to block the devils' attack.

  As the devils were about to climb up, Zhang Mingyu shouted loudly: "Hai Sheng, take out those few damn machine guns for me."

  "Yes!" Zhang Haisheng took cover behind the withered grass and crawled forward for over 20 meters. Zhang Mingyu said to Tie Niu behind him, "Tie Niu, I'll draw the enemy's fire, you cover Haisheng!"

  "Yes!" Tieniu responded loudly.

  Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, picked up the machine gun and swept it fiercely at the attacking devils. The devil's machine gunner immediately discovered him, and with a series of "pa" sounds, the bullets shot out by the crooked child hit the rock in front of Zhang Mingyu. Zhang Mingyu quickly lowered his head. Listening to the "whooshing" sound of the bullets flying over his head, Zhang Mingyu spat out a mouthful of dirt and cursed: "Little devils, your machine gun is really accurate, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been shot into a beehive."

  Just as the enemy's firepower was attracted by Zhang Mingyu, Tie Niu set up the submachine gun in his hand from another direction, pulled the trigger, and the submachine gun suddenly let out a roar. A scarlet bullet mark, like a fire line, swept away a large area of the attacking devils.

  Effective cover allowed Zhang Haisheng to advance another fifty meters forward, and when the devils' machine gunners fired towards Tie Niu, Tie Niu had already hugged the machine gun and moved behind the next rock.

  The angry machine gunner cursed loudly: "Damn it! Crafty Chinese!"

  At this time, Zhang Haisheng was lying in a heap of withered grass, he was only 600 meters away from the enemy's machine gunner, and less than 300 meters away from the enemy's infantry. He aimed at the enemy machine gunner who was firing fiercely, when the enemy's head appeared in the aiming mirror's crosshairs, he decisively pulled the trigger, "Bang!" A gunshot sounded, a hole the size of a thumb appeared on the enemy machine gunner's forehead, dirty blood and white brain matter flowed out from inside.

  The devil's machine gunner nodded and fell on the machine gun, and again the same gunfire sounded several times in a row. The devil's machine gunners were shot one after another, and soon there were more than ten devils' corpses lying around the three machine guns.

  Due to the dense gunfire, the Japanese soldiers did not discover Zhang Haisheng. Zhang Haisheng knocked down more than a dozen devils before changing positions.

  Without the suppression of the devils' machine guns, Zhang Mingyu and Tieniu's machine guns in their hands roared again, "zip zip" dense machine gun bullets, combined with the snipers' accurate firing, knocked down the devils one by one. Soon the devils could no longer withstand such heavy casualties and the way of fighting that made them invisible to the enemy, and they retreated in a hurry.

  Taking advantage of the temporary halt in the enemy's attack, the snipers also began to adjust their positions. Originally, there were no people in these places, but now they were all hiding snipers. Zhang Mingyu had equipped each sniper with 250 rounds of sniper rifle ammunition and 100 rounds of pistol ammunition before departure. Each sniper was equipped with a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle and a 20-round magazine.

  Tie Niu's machine gun bullets were abundant, and the box of bullets for the devils' cannon was all loaded into a cloth bag by him, now tied to his waist. Behind him, he carried a Thompson submachine gun with over 200 rounds of ammunition. If Tie Niu wasn't incredibly strong, these equipment would have crushed him, but at this moment, he was jumping around and striking the devils as if nothing was wrong.

  Seeing Zhang Mingyu was a sweat-inducing sight: "This kid's physical ability is too abnormal! If Zhang Mingyu were to carry so much equipment, he'd be exhausted to death, let alone fight!"

  Zhang Mingyu drank the last drop of water from his canteen and licked his dry, cracked lips. He tossed the canteen aside. Tie Niu, who was standing next to him, handed over his own canteen and said, "Master, I still have some water left, you drink it! I'm not thirsty!"

  Looking at Tie Niu's slightly dry lips, Zhang Mingyu felt a warmth in his heart and said to Tie Niu: "You drink, I'm not thirsty."

  Tie Niu didn't drink any of that water either. He hung the canteen on his body and said, "I'm not thirsty either. I'll save it for when Master is thirsty, then you can have a drink."

  "Damn it! You bunch of good-for-nothings! Useless trash, die already!"

  At this time, the two battalions of the devils had already arrived, and the mountain ridge was surrounded like an iron barrel! The devil's regiment commander Akio Toyama and chief of staff also rushed to the foot of the mountain, preparing to personally command the annihilation of the Chinese on the mountain.

  The lieutenant commander in charge of directing heard that the brigade commander had arrived, and hurriedly ran over to salute: "Brigade Commander, our army has been attacked several times by the Chinese and has been beaten back. The Chinese have godlike marksmen and their firepower is extremely fierce!"

  Akiyama Bunji was furious after hearing this: "Bah! The Chinese have their divine marksmen, but we have cannons. Are you afraid of them? Order the artillery to bombard the mountain and blast those damned Chinese to death! I want to see whether the Chinese divine marksmen are more powerful or our Imperial Japanese Army's shells are more powerful."

  At this time, the lieutenant commander said with embarrassment: "Commander, our shells are all gone..."

  "What! You're the one who's been doing a terrible job! How can you have used up all the shells and still not taken down the enemy's position, you idiot! You're a complete failure!" Akio Akiyama was furious when he heard that the lieutenant colonel had run out of shells.

  Because the ghosts he brought were lightly equipped for pursuit, in order to speed up, they abandoned all mortars and cannons at the base and didn't bring them. I heard that there were no more shells, and thinking about how many "brave" imperial warriors would have to sacrifice themselves again to take down the Shina people's position made Colonel Akishino furious! He scolded the lieutenant who wanted to explain: "Hachigane-roku, you're a useless piece of trash for the Empire!" While scolding, he still wasn't satisfied and slapped the lieutenant's face with his five fingers, left and right, slapping him dozens of times before Colonel Akishino's anger gradually subsided.

  The poor lieutenant commander was beaten by General Akishima until he saw stars, dizzy and staggering. However, after General Akishima finished beating him, he stood up straight and said: "Hai!"

  "Warriors, right before us are the despicable Shina people who humiliated our glorious Akishima Corps! Show the bravery of Imperial soldiers and charge forward to annihilate the Shina people! Charge!"

  A platoon of devils under the leadership of the platoon leader launched an attack on the mountain head, and the devil soldiers charged forward one by one like fierce bulls!

  Colonel Akito of Autumn Mountain at the foot of the mountain looked at the charging devils and smiled: "This is a true imperial soldier!"

  "Brothers, the little devils are coming again, prepare for battle!"

  Snipers who heard the shouting pulled the bolt and lay down in their own shelters, waiting for the devils to appear.
