Chapter 5: Blasting the Devil's Turtle Shell

  The village was surrounded by intense gunfire, and the devils' soldiers closed in from three directions, east, west, and south. With the coordination of more than a dozen machine guns and grenade launchers, they pressed into the village, as if to wrap Luo Xiang and his men in dumplings.

  The snipers on the slope have been forced to move to a river embankment north of the village, as their original sniper position has been overrun by Japanese devils, who are shooting and charging into the village.

  Inside the village, on the streets, there were corpses of devils everywhere, especially at the two village entrances, where the bodies of devils were piled up so high that they blocked the entrance to the village. To attack the village, one had to climb over the piles of corpses first.

  In close combat, the enemy's 38 rifle firepower density and intensity were significantly inferior to those of the special forces' improved 95, so although they had the advantage of numbers, they couldn't gain the upper hand for a while!

  After a fierce battle of about half an hour, Luo Xiang found that the devils were getting more and more, and knew it was time to retreat!

  "Lang Peng, Ou Liang, provide cover with the machine gun, others retreat in order!" Luo Xiang wiped the blood of the devils off his bayonet while directing the special warfare team members to withdraw from the north of the village which had not been surrounded by the devils yet, covering each other as they retreated.

  Although the sniper suppressed the local machine gun, the Japanese army was too numerous after all. Hundreds of Japanese troops swarmed in, and the special forces, despite their incredible combat power, could not withstand them and had to withdraw from the village.

  Outside the village is a rugged dirt road, because there are few people walking on it, so it's overgrown with weeds, and only in the middle there is a narrow path that can only allow one person to pass through. However, this made it convenient for Luo Xiang to retreat, and it was difficult for Japanese soldiers to find their tracks!

  Luo Xuan held the domestically-made 95 improved automatic rifle and stayed behind, next to him was Sun Dong, the leader of the assault team. The two men crossed fire with Lang Peng and Ou Liang from the machine gun squad, covering each other as they retreated northward, hoping to shake off the Japanese army's pursuit!

  But the Japanese army seemed unwilling to let them go, biting their buttocks and pursuing them tightly, without giving them a chance to breathe!

  "Captain, this won't do! The devils are biting too hard, if we don't think of something, we can't get back to the main force!" Sun Dong pulled out the empty magazine, reloaded another one, then suddenly stood up and fired a burst at the devil soldier who was sneaking forward, then shouted to Luo Xiang.

  Luo Xiang continued to fire without stopping, almost every shot hitting its mark. As he fired, he shouted, "No way, we can't let the devils lead them to our main force! If they find out that we have a batch of equipment and technical personnel far beyond this era, I'm afraid they'll go crazy and surround us!"

  Dozens of heavy trucks loaded with weapons and equipment, in addition to the relocation of ordnance factory equipment, especially those weapon experts, these things are a staggering wealth compared to the era he is currently in.

  No matter who finds out, they won't let it go. Although Luo Xiang and his team have a 2000-man special forces unit, they can't withstand the swarming enemy. Especially if the Japanese army discovers them, the Tiger Tooth Special Forces Unit, which has temporarily lost its rapid mobility capability, will be like a piece of fragrant braised pork - even if it's crushed into a pulp, the Japanese will still devour it crazily.

  "Special forces can't go back, where are we going then?" Sun Dong's heart was anxious, without the support of interstellar warships, relying solely on their dozen or so people, their power was always limited!

  The improved Type 95 rifle is very powerful, but bullets will eventually run out. At that time, these guns are not much stronger than firecrackers. Surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops, even Luo Xiang dare not say that he can fight off hundreds of Japanese soldiers in close combat.

  At this time, the intercom suddenly rang, and Yan Beifeng's voice came through, "Luo Xiang, what's going on over there? All I can hear are gunshots?"

  "We've encountered the little devils and got into a fight, Old Wild Goose, can you help us take a look around to see if there's anywhere we can defend ourselves?" Luo Xiang heard Yan Beifeng's voice, only then remembering that they had walkie-talkies to contact the main force, perhaps they could get some information from there.

  After a slight pause, the voice of Yan Beifeng came from the intercom, "About four kilometers northeast of you, there is a military camp of the Northeast Army, also known as the North University Camp. The Independent Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army is stationed there, with a force of **thousand troops. I think they should be able to provide you with strong support!"

  Luo Xiang fired the last few bullets in his automatic rifle, replaced the magazine and said, "Alright, we'll head there immediately. Order the first and second special warfare squads of the battalion to set out at once, get to the designated location and prepare for pickup. The coordinates are——"

  Inside the spacious command vehicle, Yan Beifeng wrote down the coordinates given by Luo Xiang, then grabbed the mic and shouted loudly into the loudspeaker, "First Special Warfare Squad, Second Special Warfare Squad assemble, hurry to the designated location and wait for orders. Third Special Warfare Squad stay in place and be on standby to protect supplies and non-combat personnel!"

  The three special warfare detachments of the Hǔyá Special Warfare Brigade were fully armed and ready to go, all equipped with new domestically-made 95 improved weapons. Anyway, Luo Xiang felt that they couldn't turn back now, so let the soldiers use these weapons to fight.

  From the start of assembly to the departure of the whole team, each of the two special warfare teams took less than one minute. Looking at the neat and well-trained movements of the soldiers, everyone had to admit that this was a team with quite strong combat effectiveness.

  Of course, training such a team made Luo Xiang even more notorious as the "Demon Captain"!

  Watching the special forces teams depart in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective military commanders, Yan Beifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and refocused his attention on Luo Xiang, who was fiercely battling near Liutiao Lake!

  At this time, Luo Xiang's days were not going well. Perhaps the devils thought they were running too comfortably and actually dispatched two 89-style light tanks to closely follow them. The bullets from the machine gun on the tank swept past them, almost hitting their buttocks, making them dare not relax at all.

  "Platoon leader, this little devil's turtle shell is too annoying, it seems we've found someone to take him down! " Sun Dong was hit by the machine gun on the enemy's 89-style light tank and rolled around on the ground several times before rushing to Luo Xiang's side.

  "The turtle shell of the devils can't withstand a beating, watch this!" Luo Xiang lay behind an earth mound, heard and chuckled, then loaded a grenade into his gun, moved the gas regulator to 0 position, when the devil's machine gun fire just stopped, he suddenly flipped over, raised his automatic rifle and aimed at the opposite Type 89 light armored vehicle.

  A loud "boom" sound, a grenade shot out from the 95 improved automatic rifle and landed accurately on the turret of the Type 89 light armored vehicle on the left, immediately exploding!

  The German light tank is about the same as an armored car, belonging to the type with thin skin and weak blood. When encountering a gun howitzer shell specifically designed to deal with light armor, it's naturally hard to escape disaster!

  A loud explosion, the thin turret of the devil's light tank was blown off, and more than half of the car body was torn down together. A dazzling flame burst out from the light tank, mixed with thick smoke rising into the sky, as if a large torch had been lit in the field!

  "Rumble!"

  The 89 armored vehicle on the right immediately changed direction and altered its pursuit route, apparently the driver had seen the tragic fate of this 89 armored vehicle and wanted to avoid Luo Xiang's deadly star!

  "Since you're here, do you want to run?" Luo Xiang coldly smiled and raised his submachine gun again, aiming at the Type 89 light armored vehicle.

  Another deafening explosion sounded, and the second light armored vehicle followed in the footsteps of the first one, becoming a useless pile of scrap iron, paralyzed there, unable to move.

  There are two more large torches in the field!
