Chapter 28: Encirclement and Hunting (Part 1) (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

  Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin's expressions had become extremely focused, they could no longer hear the howling northwest wind, nor see the desolate wilderness. The entire world had already disappeared from their field of vision and consciousness. All that was left in their eyes was one thing - that armored vehicle, and the open car door. They were waiting.

  Three days and three nights of bitter waiting, all for this moment!

  In an instant, Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin's pupils suddenly contracted, a ghost child had already crouched down and drilled in.

  That devil's body was draped in a thin woolen military coat, his figure was straight and his air was majestic. Although they were separated by four or five hundred meters, Yue Weihan could still feel the kind of domineering aura emanating from him, which was a natural possession of every royal family member after being raised in luxury and pampered.

  That's right, it's him! This little devil is definitely Choushou no Miya Kiyoshi!

  Almost simultaneously, Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin gently pulled the triggers of their rifles, and two crisp gunshots suddenly burst from the hillside, shattering the silence of the wilderness in an instant.

  …………

  500 meters away.

  Asahiko Kuruma had no idea that death was approaching him, he bent over and got out of the armored vehicle, just wanting to stand on the threshold and wave to his subordinates who came forward to greet him. Two scorching bullets hit him at the same time, one hitting his face directly, instantly turning his facial features into a bloody pulp. This was done by Yue Weihan, a single shot to the head!

  Another bullet hit Asakao's left chest, which was fired by Hanao.

  Asaka no Miya's Kiyohide's sturdy body suddenly shook violently and then fell straight down.

  The scene fell silent, including Lieutenant General Inada Tamotsu, the chief of staff of the Japanese army, all the Japanese officers and non-commissioned officers were stunned, staring at Asaka Yasuhiko who had fallen to the ground, just like that, straight down, without even anyone thinking of going up to help him, everyone was shocked, all people were stunned by this sudden scene!

  "Sniper! Chinese sniper!" It wasn't until a good half later that Lieutenant Colonel Takataro Koyabashi, who was in charge of the on-site vigilance, suddenly came to his senses and rushed up at incredible speed to use his body as a human shield for Asakayama Torihiko, but by then everything was already too late, Asakayama Torihiko had long since died.

  "Your Highness!"

  "General!"

  "Army Medical Officer..."

  In an instant, the whole scene boiled over, and all the devils were in a state of complete chaos.

  Hanazono Mamoru and several high-ranking officers from the Heavy Artillery Brigade, Logistics Brigade, Air Force, and Communications Corps rushed to the fallen Akihito with incredible speed. They turned their heads and shouted at the top of their lungs for a military doctor to come and rescue him. However, the cruel reality was right in front of them - everyone knew that Akihito was absolutely beyond saving. His face and heart had been shot simultaneously, and even if Amaterasu ōmikami herself descended upon the earth, it would be too late for him.

  Just as Inaba Shuzo and other Japanese army lieutenant generals were in a state of panic, the face of Takashi Takaoka, who was responsible for on-site security, had already turned iron-green. As the military police major general in charge of the safety and security of Commander-in-Chief, the assassination of Prince Takamatsu also meant his serious dereliction of duty. Whether or not Prince Takamatsu could be saved, he could only commit seppuku to apologize!

  However, before committing seppuku, Lieutenant Colonel Takataro Takaishi vowed to tear those two Chinese snipers into pieces first.

  The Japanese army was indeed well-trained, and as soon as Lieutenant General Kōhei Takahashi gave the order, the Japanese soldiers responsible for sentry duty quickly sprang into action. As soon as the gunshot rang out, the location of the Chinese sniper had already been exposed, and they were hiding in a low hill less than 500 meters away!

  …………

  Five hundred meters away, opposite a low hill.

  Almost at the same time as the rifle trigger was pulled, Yue Weihan, Hua Hanlin and Liu Tiezhu simultaneously jumped forward. Almost at the same time they jumped up, the two sniper points that had just been hidden were already being hit by the enemy's 38 large cover, Yue Weihan could almost feel the scorching bullets sweeping across his feet.

  The Japanese army's regular infantry indeed reacted quickly, and the dozen or so devils guarding the mound almost opened fire at the same time as Yue Weihan's gunshot. Moreover, the little devil's marksmanship was not to be underestimated; if Yue Weihan's men had been slightly slower in their movements, they would probably have already been shot dead on the spot.

  Of course, Yue Weihan was no pushover either. As he floated in mid-air, his body suddenly twisted around violently.

  Yue Weihan dodged to the side and suddenly saw more than a dozen devils scattered on the mound, holding 38-style rifles aiming at them. Not far away, even more devils were rushing towards them, wailing and shouting. Yue Weihan's peripheral vision also caught sight of even more devils charging from all directions.

  In the blink of an eye, the Zhongzheng rifle that had rendered great service in Yue Weihan's hands had flown out more than a dozen steps away. The two German-made pistols, however, had silently and stealthily appeared in Yue Weihan's hands. The next instant, brilliant flames spewed forth from the muzzles of the pistols, and the Japanese soldiers who were half-kneeling on the mound aiming their shots were knocked to the ground one after another.

  The shooting skills of the Japanese soldiers are not bad, but compared with Yue Weihan, they are far inferior!

  Whether it's shooting at a moving target or hitting a target while moving, within 100 meters, Yue Weihan is absolutely accurate. Knocking down those dozen or so little devils on the mound is just a piece of cake! Not to mention that Hua Hanlin is by his side, this kid's marksmanship may be slightly inferior to Yue Weihan's, but compared to the little devils, he's still a hard nut to crack.

  With a gasp of breath, more than a dozen devils on the short hill were all knocked down.

  Liu Tiezhu looked around and suddenly changed his face: "Camp seat, we are surrounded!"

  Without Liu Tiezhu's reminder, Yue Weihan also saw that they had indeed fallen into the devils' lair. Looking around, the devils' soldiers were swarming in from all directions towards the mound, but fortunately, these were only the devils' garrison troops responsible for sentry duty, with a small number of people, loose formation, and no machine gun firepower.

  Yue Weihan was indeed a seasoned old mercenary, and even in such a critical situation, he remained calm enough to see through the little devil's true intentions at once!

  In an instant, Yue Weihan made a decision and shouted: "Break through to the south, there's a small river on that side!"

  Once they crossed the river, the devils' cars and motorcycles would temporarily be unable to catch up, and relying solely on the little devils' infantry, the threat would be relatively much smaller. However, Yue Weihan was also very clear in his mind that this time it was likely to be a desperate situation, as the commander of the Shanghai Garrison of the Japanese army had been sniped and killed, and he was just a small devil, how could they let him off easily?

  In less than half an hour, the sky would be filled with enemy reconnaissance planes and bombers. As soon as the enemy's reconnaissance planes and bombers arrived, Yue Weihan and his men would be finished. In this vast open plain of several hundred miles around, Yue Weihan did not think they could escape the joint pursuit of enemy aircraft and infantry.

  But after all, Yu Weihan would never give up lightly until the last moment!

  There's another saying: even if I die, I'll drag a bunch of devils down with me for company!

  "Go!" Yue Weihan's robust body suddenly lunged forward in an extremely ugly posture, two scorching bullets almost grazed his forehead and instantly took away the military cap on his head. The two magazine guns in Yue Weihan's hands also fired simultaneously, and two Japanese soldiers 50 meters away fell to the ground with a loud noise.

  "Hmph!" Yue Weihan fell heavily to the ground like a big clumsy bear, and immediately rolled over to one side.

  Just as Yue Weihan dodged to the side, the spot where he had just landed was already pockmarked with bullet holes, and from a high point 100 meters away, two Japanese soldiers knelt on one knee, their faces expressionless as they re-cocked their rifles, the black muzzles of their Type 38 Arisaka rifles moving once again to track Yue Weihan's shadow...

  Yue Weihan raised the pistol in his hand without hesitation, and with just a glance out of the corner of his eye, he fired two shots in that direction, and two Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. Yue Weihan scrambled to his feet and charged forward, while Hua Hanlin and Liu Tiezhu also rushed up to follow him. The three men sprinted forward for 700-800 meters before finally breaking through the encirclement of the Japanese garrison troops.

  They rushed forward for another 400-500 meters, crossing the small river ditch before the mechanized troops of the devils arrived. Since they couldn't find a bridge to cross the river, the devils' cars and three-wheeled motorcycles could only continue along the road on the bank of the river, while the devil infantry jumped over the river ditch to pursue southward.
