Chapter 46 Enemy Aircraft Launch Aerial Raid on Frontline Positions

  Seeing those little devils running back and forth with their survival instincts, Chen Shaoqin calmly loaded bullets into his rifle. The previous battle had depleted the ammunition in his gun, making it an empty shell at this moment. If he wanted to use this sniper rifle again, he could only temporarily load bullets into the magazine.

  Those little devils didn't even dare to turn their heads back, and they fled in the direction of their retreat. Since participating in the war, they had seen many Chinese people, but they had never seen an opponent as terrifying as Chen Shaoqin. In front of Chen Shaoqin, there was no precedent for sparing a single little devil, not even prisoners. All the little devils who saw Chen Shaoqin raise his sniper rifle were like seeing Yanluo Wang (the King of Hell), and if they ran slightly slower, they would undoubtedly die under Chen Shaoqin's gun.

  The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of the little devils escaping and accidentally stepping on dry branches, and Chen Shaoqin loading bullets into the magazine. The atmosphere was filled with bloodlust, making one feel somewhat suffocated.

  After loading the bullets, Chen Shaoqin immediately picked up the sniper rifle in his hand, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the little devil who was running away. He held his breath, pulled the trigger under his right index finger. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, and the bullet pierced through the air without any deviation, hitting the back of the little devil's head. The little devil fell to the ground with a forward tilt, motionless!

  Then Chen Shaoqin's second shot was fired, the bullet cut through the rising smoke, quickly piercing the body of the second Japanese soldier. The little devil's chest burst out with fresh blood, and he involuntarily lowered his head to look at his injured chest, then his entire body went limp and fell to the ground, dead.

  Next came the third and fourth shots, two little devils were hit and fell to the ground, their bodies lying sideways, having met King Yan. This string of four shots, every bullet hit its mark, left Lame Liu and his men staring with wide eyes. Lame Liu only knew that Chen Shaokan had excellent marksmanship again, but he didn't know that Chen's shooting skills could be so accurate, he really couldn't help but admire him deeply.

  To know that the little devil ran first, and then temporarily suppressed the bullet, and then fired at a distance of nearly 500 meters from the target, and hit the escaping little devil, it was simply a mythical result. He himself couldn't do it no matter what, but he saw Chen Shaoqin do all this with his own eyes. As for Chen Shaoqin's marksmanship, he had no right to comment on anything, there were only two words that represented his heart at this moment, which was "awesome"!

  The last little devil who saw his four companions being shot down by Chen Shaoqin one after another, began to feel weak in the legs due to extreme panic in his heart, causing him to lose control of his bladder. At this moment, the devil soldier was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, trembling with fear, and didn't even dare to look at Chen Shaoqin and the others again.

  Chen Shaoqin didn't show any mercy, with a single pull of the trigger, he fired at that little devil and directly took out the enemy soldier on the spot, leaving no room for any future troubles.

  Just as Chen Shaokuan shot and killed the little devil, a loud rumbling sound suddenly echoed in the sky. This sound was what Chen Shaokuan had heard at that moment when he came to the front line. It was very clear that this was the sound of the little devil's plane. So he instinctively looked up at the sky and found that five planes with the emblem of the Rising Sun were flying from the east, taking a low altitude close to the ground and flying at high speed. Then there were the whistling bombs falling from the sky.

  "Disperse and take cover!" Chen Shaoqin immediately ordered his comrades to hide quickly. The fact that the devils had mobilized aircraft was no longer a secret, they had already been subjected to the devils' aerial bombing before arriving at the battlefield. Now that the devils' warplanes appeared on the battlefield, it was not surprising, only he did not expect the devils to come so quickly.

  Liu and his brothers quickly found cover in the nearby woods, hiding in place. The planes flew over, dropping a round of bombs before heading straight for the battalion commander's position, easing up on their attack on Chen Shaobin's side.

  That row of bombs landed on the company commander's position, the front-line Maxim machine gun was overturned by the explosion that shook the ground, and the deputy machine gunner was killed on the spot. The mortar position was also attacked, and the people in the bubble were destroyed along with the mortar. The entire defensive line's most important firepower point suffered a fatal blow.

  The company commander led the remaining brothers to retreat into the trenches, avoiding the bombing of the devils' planes. However, a devil plane suddenly glided down from above and charged towards the company commander's side. In an instant, the plane started machine gun fire. The large-caliber machine guns "pattered" towards the ground, and the guard squad guarding the company commander was knocked down on the spot. Fang Shaopeng used his own body to block the bullets fired by the devil plane to protect the company commander's life, and was shot into a sieve, spitting out blood and dying on the spot.

  Although Fang Shaopeng used his body to block the bullet for the captain, due to the large caliber of the plane's bullets and their strong penetrating power, the bullet still hit the captain's body after passing through Fang Shaopeng's. The captain fell to the ground immediately, twitched a few times, and fresh blood kept gushing out from the wound. Not long after, the captain sacrificed himself.

  The enemy plane attacked the battalion commander and his men, one of them flew back to the enemy's side after a spin, then the little devil began a new round of attack. This time, the little devil assembled an entire brigade of troops, under the cover of machine guns and mountain cannons, charging towards the battalion commander's position in a rush.

  Because the heavy weapons on the front line had been bombed by the devils' planes, there was no longer a strong firepower on the front line, making it easy for the devils to charge forward without much effort. The first wave of attack rushed up to the front line. The remaining brothers fought to the death, but because the devils had too many troops and were supported by heavy firepower, they quickly lost control of the front line. The devils swarmed onto the position like a swarm of locusts, directly surrounding Chen Shaobin's group from all sides.

  At this time, Chen Shaoqin shook his head from the dusty ground and slowly got up, panting and shouting: "Brothers, are you all still alive?"

  As his voice fell, Liu the Cripple, Little Stone Head, Ah Si and more than a dozen brothers all got up, then slowly approached Chen Shaokan, letting Chen Shaokan know they were alright.

  Chen Shaoqin looked around at his brothers and, not seeing Xue Yumei, anxiously asked: "Where's the young lady from the Xue family? Where is she?"

  "Just now I didn't see her, was it when the little devils attacked that she got separated from us?" Xiaoshi said, touching his neck which was injured in the explosion.

  "Everyone hurry up and look for her! We can't let that girl get into trouble!" Crooked Liu immediately ordered his brothers to go find Xue Yumei. He knew how important Xue Yumei was to Chen Shaoyin, so he prayed in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen to her. But where was Xue Yumei now? None of them knew, they could only try to look for her first!
