Chapter 9: United Against the Enemy

  Behind the gate of Beida Camp, Luo Xiang and Cheng Tianlei, Duan Ying sat facing each other.

  Three people didn't speak first, Cheng Tianlei and Duan Ying's eyes had been sizing up Luo Xiang for half a day, with uncomprehending and suspicious gazes.

  It's understandable that they have doubts, after all, Luo Xiang's team appeared too suddenly, and their weapons, equipment, and combat skills are vastly different from those of soldiers in this era. It would be strange if they didn't have any suspicions!

  After a moment of silence, Duan Ying was the first to speak up, "Luo Xiang, I think you guys aren't from the Northeast Army, are you?"

  "Hmm, we are not the Northeast Army's nor any other warlord's troops!" Luo Xiang explained, these things would be known to them sooner or later, so there was no need to hide it, "We are the Tiger Tooth Special Warfare Battalion, and we were unintentionally drawn into this war!"

  Looking at the two puzzled people, Luo Xiang added, "However, you can rest assured that we are also Chinese, descendants of Yan and Huang, with the same blood flowing in our bodies. Defending China is an unshakeable responsibility. If the Japanese want to invade, then we will resolutely drive them back!"

  "Right, those little devils want to occupy our China? Don't even dream about it! If I don't beat them back to their island country, my name's not Cheng Tianlei!" Cheng Tianlei clenched his fist tightly, as if the Japanese were already in the palm of his hand and would be crushed with just a slight squeeze.

  Duan Yinghe and Luo Xiang exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing!

  Because they were all military personnel, the relationship between the three people quickly became harmonious and they discussed together how to proceed with the next battle!

  I understand. Here is the translation:

  "Understood, Luo Xiao and his men are not reinforcements from Fengtian City, so Cheng Tianlei and Duan Ying know that they will have to continue fighting alone and defend Beidaying Camp to the death, so they must carefully plan their defense!"

  Luo Xiang put forward several suggestions after listening to the introduction of the two people:

  First, the number of troops in the regiment led by Zeng Guofan and Cheng Tianbai was too small to defend the entire Beiyang Army camp. After being dispersed, their strength would be clearly insufficient. Therefore, they should abandon most of the camps and focus on defending the Travel Department's courtyard, which had the best defensive facilities. The walls were high and thick, with several wall-head watchtowers that allowed them to shoot down at the enemy from above with machine guns.

  Second, the Seventh Brigade left in a hurry, so most of the weapons were sealed and stored in the warehouses of each regiment and were not taken away. If these weapons fall into the hands of Japanese soldiers, they will be used to harm us, so we should seize the opportunity when the devil's frontline commander is killed, transport the weapons to the brigade headquarters, and if there is no time to transport them, blow them up, resolutely do not leave a single bullet for the devils!

  Thirdly, gather supplies and let the warriors replenish their food, so that they can cope with the high-intensity battles ahead!

  Fourth, order...

  Luo Xiang's analysis and suggestions are clear and to the point, and exactly what is needed at this critical moment. Duan should immediately agree with Cheng Tianlei and withdraw a portion of soldiers back to the Beida Camp, on one hand reinforcing the brigade headquarters, and on the other hand moving things around, giving the devils a scorched earth policy!

  During this time, Luo Xiang's Tiger Tooth Special Warfare Brigade was not idle either. Several snipers' improved 88 sniper rifles had locked onto the position of the Japanese heavy machine gun. Any Japanese soldier who wanted to get close to that place would be named by their sniper rifle and become a corpse with body temperature!

  "Hachigaya, what kind of people are these?" Looking at the machine gunners lying scattered around the heavy machine gun within a five-meter radius, Lieutenant General Moriyuki Kawashima, deputy commander of the 2nd Independent Guard Battalion, was on the verge of tears. He had sent eleven machine gunners one after another to re-control the heavy machine gun, only to have them shot dead by bullets coming from who-knows-where.

  In that era, the Type 88 Improved Sniper Rifle was a nightmare for the enemy, and basically there were no rifles that could match it, let alone those who mastered the sniper rifle were all ace snipers of the Tiger Tooth Special Forces!

  Occasional sniper shots rang out on the battlefield, and with each shot, an unlucky Japanese soldier would fall to the ground!

  Later on, the five-meter area around the heavy machine gun was called "Death Five Meters" by Japanese soldiers, deeply etched in their minds!

  Because there were no devils trying to get close to the heavy machine guns and lost their targets, the snipers of the Tiger Tooth Special Warfare Brigade turned their targets to various officers in the Japanese army, from lieutenant to second lieutenant, even non-commissioned officers were not spared. Under their high-power sniper scopes with night vision function, the Japanese officers had nowhere to hide, falling one after another.

  Lieutenant Senyuan also encountered several sniping incidents, if he wasn't lucky enough to hide behind a tree, then the result would not be just his left hand being shot through, but rather becoming an icy corpse!

  "These Chinese are too terrible!" Senyuan let the medic bandage his wound, while thinking hard about how to explain to Captain Kawashima the reason for his defeat in commanding.

  If it's said that the sniper of the Chinese army is too powerful, and they shoot so fiercely that I and a group of officers have to duck for cover, I reckon Lieutenant-General Kawashima would probably just hand me a military sword and let me do a big slash!

  But if the report is not true, how can the situation on the scene be seen by so many people? At that time, Lieutenant-General Kawashima can still throw himself a military sword and commit a crime of false reporting!

  "It seems that I will inevitably end up like a slaughtered pig! Mori Minamoto couldn't help but lament in his heart, feeling worried about his own fate!"

  Just as Moriizumi was thinking anxiously about how to report to Kawashima, a chaotic footsteps came from behind, followed by a cold voice, "Moriizumi, I brought you here to command the army to attack, not to sleep!"

  "It's Lieutenant Commander Kawashima!" Mori Minamoto was startled and quickly jumped up from the ground, turned around to face Lieutenant Commander Kawashima who had approached him, and gave a military salute. "Lieutenant Commander, you've come yourself!"

  "Ah, Morizumi-kun is injured!" Captain Kawashima pulled off his snow-white gloves from his hands and looked at Morizumi, who had one arm slung around his neck. He nodded, "Yes, you've done a great job!"

  "Hello, I'm at fault!" Sun Yuan was so frightened that he hastily put his feet together and bowed ninety degrees.

  With a "slap", the snow-white glove slapped onto Senyuan's face, and Kawashima, the company commander, turned around to walk forward, "You good-for-nothing, I'm going to personally command the troops to launch an attack!"

  "Squad leader, don't——" Before Moriyasu could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, and Kawashima, the squad leader who had just stepped out from behind the trees, fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out of his forehead and staining the dark earth of the northeast red!

  Behind the bunker at the entrance of Beida Camp, Luo Xiang pulled down the gun bolt and waved his hand at Cheng Tianlei, who was staring blankly to one side.

  "The seventh one!"
