Chapter 44: Night Raid on the Small Warehouse

  In the dark of night, Xiao Cang's team was camping in a small warehouse.

  Kogura Detachment was one of the four infantry detachments under Akaike Detachment, and after Ikegami Detachment was annihilated by Liu Feng, Akaike Detachment had three infantry detachments, a transport detachment, a machine gun detachment equipped with 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and an artillery battery equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons. The total strength still had nearly one thousand men.

  Adding more than 2,000 pseudo-military troops from all over the country, the total strength reached 3,000 people.

  The Ogura squad's campsite was chosen on an open ground, and both sentry posts and hidden sentries were arranged. Today, the Ogura squad swept through Tanpu Village and Machang Village, but did not find any traces of the Eighth Route Army; however, they seized a lot of good things. Commander Kameji Ogura even raped a girl in the village chief's home, making him feel very comfortable.

  The Ogura squad's campsite was only a few miles away from the other squads, and behind them were the pseudo-military camps of two other squads, so Ogura Kameji wasn't worried about the safety of the camp at all. He went to bed early, as they would continue their sweep tomorrow, and perhaps there would be even more spirited girls waiting for him.

  Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and Xiao Cang was shocked awake. He jumped down from his bunk, rushed out of the tent and shouted: "Ba Ga, what's going on?"

  A soldier ran up and saluted with a "crack", saying: "Report to the platoon leader, someone launched a sneak attack, our sentry was killed..."

  The soldier suddenly couldn't speak, because he saw the head of the platoon leader in front of him suddenly blooming, and then heard a "bang" gunshot. Red and white things splattered on the soldier's face. Before he could even bend down to vomit, another bullet shattered his skull.

  He paid the price for saluting his superior on the battlefield, and Lieutenant Commander Kura was sent to hell by Liu Feng's bullet. The soldier who had lost his life was killed by Yu Daqing.

  Liu Feng's sniper position was three hundred meters away from the Xiaocang battalion's camp, while the Xiaocang battalion commander's position was at least five hundred meters away. However, due to the bonfires in the camp, Liu Feng and Yu Daqing clearly saw the soldiers salute Battalion Commander Xiaocang, which also led to the loss of the highest commander of the Xiaocang battalion for the first time.

  The Ogura squad immediately fell into disarray, but soon regained order under the command of Deputy Squad Leader Sugiyama Jiro, and machine guns were added to start sweeping in the general direction of Liu Feng.

  However, Liu Feng and Yu Daqing had already switched positions, and the little devils were just wasting bullets.

  Kayabara Jiro saw that the attacker had no power to fight back, and immediately dispatched a small team of oni to search for Liu Feng's side, hoping to capture the sneak attacker and avenge Ogura.

  When the little devils' squad rushed out of the camp, they had just walked less than 50 meters before hearing "bang, bang, bang, bang" four gunshots. The four little devils who were rushing in front fell to the ground with their heads down. It turned out that Liu Feng and his three men had already divided into four directions and opened fire on the little devils.

  "Hah! The enemy is just a handful of men, charge for me!" Ikawa Jirō drew out his commander's sword and pointed fiercely forward, as if he wanted to capture the sneak attacker immediately and tear him limb from limb.

  He had just spotted the attacker's muzzle flash, at least five or six hundred meters away from him, so he boldly drew out his command knife, showing off his bravery.

  Unfortunately, Liu Feng discovered him at the first time, and Yu Daqing in another direction also found him. Liu Feng and Yu Daqing almost simultaneously pulled the trigger on him.

  Noguchi Kitaro's head was suddenly hit by two bullets from two directions, and it immediately burst like a watermelon. The corpse stood upright for several seconds before falling to the ground.

  The oni squad that had accepted Kikawada's final command before his death charged towards Liu Feng and the others under the leadership of their squad leader.

  Liu Feng and four others kept pulling the bolt of their guns, firing bullets as fast as they could.

  In the queue of devils, people kept falling down, but before new orders were given, these little devils continued to charge forward non-stop. Liu Feng and his team were at least 300 meters away from them, and they needed to charge for almost a minute to cover this distance. In one minute, each of their four Model 38 rifles could only fire seven or eight rounds. This small team had just charged out 200 meters when twenty people fell down.

  The remaining people finally rushed into a hundred meters, but unfortunately, something happened. The devils who were rushing in the front suddenly felt their feet go soft, and then they heard a "slap" sound, their feet were severely painful, and they fell to the ground.

  Liu Feng and his men finally lured the devils into the bullet rain array.

  Liu Feng saw that the devils had entered the bullet rain array, and immediately began to retreat along the route set at the beginning. He retreated to a distance of 200 meters from this group of little devils, and again added his 38 rifle to prepare for sniping.

  At this time, the little devils already knew they were trapped in a minefield and naturally couldn't charge forward anymore. Unable to charge forward, yet bullets kept flying towards them from the front, they could only lie prone on the ground. Letting the snipers in the darkness shoot at their exposed limbs one bullet at a time.

  Because this place was carefully selected by Liu Feng as a flat ground, there were no pits to hide in, so the bodies of the little devils were all exposed under the guns of Liu Feng and his men. Soon the outer layer of little devils was killed, while the inner layer of little devils did not dare to move at all, relying on the bodies of the outer layer of little devils to resist the bullets of Liu Feng and his men.

  At this time, the three platoon leaders who stayed in the camp saw that the outside platoon was in a precarious situation and immediately consulted with each other to elect a platoon leader named Yokoyama Shinji to command the entire company. The Ogura company regained its command once again. He immediately ordered the platoon trapped in the hail of bullets to set up mortars, firing at the possible location of the attackers, suppressing them.

  Because the range of Japanese grenade launchers is within 300 meters, and Liu Feng's current location is more than 800 meters away from the Ogura squad's camp, Yokoyama Jinji has no weapons in his hands that can threaten Liu Feng. He could only order the small team that rushed out to set up a grenade launcher to bombard Liu Feng and his men.

  However, how could Liu Feng and his men allow the devils to set up their grenade launchers? All those devil soldiers who tried to climb up were knocked down by Liu Feng and his men.

  Yokoyama Jirō had no choice but to mobilize a second squad, taking a detour from the other side and launching a pincer attack on Liu Feng's group.

  As soon as Liu Feng saw the enemy troops start to move, he immediately began to retreat, then mounted his war horse and disappeared into the dark night. By the time the enemy squad had surrounded the area, all they found was a large pile of 38 rifle bullet casings, nothing else.

  That night battle, Ogura squadron's commander and deputy commander were both shot dead, 26 people died, 19 people were injured. And what the enemy was still unclear.
