Chapter 44: Battlefield Sniping Displays Divine Signs

  Chen Shaoqin fired this shot, the bullet hit the head of the devil's 92-style heavy machine gunner, and the little devil was pushed back by the impact force of the bullet, falling face up on the ground, with a hole in his forehead, brain matter splattered out, instantly depriving the little devil of any signs of life.

  Chen Shaoqin then pulled the bolt, ejected the shell, turned around and changed position, pushed the bolt, reloaded the bullet, aimed at the devil's machine gunner with the muzzle, and fired again. The bullet hit the devil's machine gunner right between the eyebrows, taking his life on the spot.

  Two shots in a row, accurately hitting the devil's machine gunner's forehead. The devil's commander seemed to have noticed Chen Shaogin's sniping ability and immediately waved his command knife, letting the first row of little devils open fire towards Chen Shaogin, and turning two submachine guns around to sweep towards him, with almost the same intensity as a frontal assault.

  But the devil commander was not satisfied with the current firepower, and instead assembled another artillery unit in the middle of the troops, setting up mortars, and was about to launch a full-scale attack with cannon fire coverage. It seems that the little devils are determined to take Chen Shaoqin's position.

  "Silly big guy, look, the enemy's machine gunner and artilleryman have all been transferred here, what are we going to do?" Xue Yumei saw the little devil's temporary transfer with her own eyes, clearly understanding what this would mean for them, so she anxiously called out to Chen Shaoqin.

  "You fall back first, I'll cover!" Chen Shaoqin knew that if the two of them left together at this time, neither would be able to escape in the end. So he gave up his chance of survival and stayed behind to provide cover for Xue Yumei, because he believed that since the enemy was so focused on him, they must see him as a threat, and as long as he stayed on the battlefield and engaged with the enemy, they wouldn't have time to chase after Xue.

  "Silly big guy, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm afraid of death? Let me tell you, wherever you are, I'll be there too. I won't leave your side for half a step!" Xue Yumei had no intention of leaving. She strongly protested Chen Shaoqin's arrangement. Previously, she was going to the front line to fight against the little devils, and if it weren't for meeting Chen Shaoqin, she would have already gone to the front line, satisfying her own patriotic feelings. Now that they were really on the battlefield, ready to fight to the death with the little devils, how could she possibly leave first?

  "You're just a burden, don't you want to leave me alone?" Chen Shaoqin could only use such unpleasant words to persuade Xue Yumei to leave, although it wasn't what he wanted to do. But since Xue Yumei wouldn't listen, if he didn't say this, this girl would probably stubbornly continue waiting for death here.

  "No matter what you say, I won't leave!" Xue Yumei was very determined and had no intention of leaving. In her opinion, being able to kill devils on the battlefield and fight side by side with the person she liked, even if it meant sacrificing herself, was a kind of happiness. So no matter what Chen Shaoqin said, she would not leave.

  At this time, the little devils were already loading shells into the mortar. Chen Shaoqin didn't have time to bother with her, so he pulled the trigger again and fired another shot at the shell in the devil's hand. The bullet hit the shell accurately, and due to its strong impact force and high temperature, the shell ignited instantly after being hit, exploding with a loud roar. The two little devils who were loading the shells were blown to pieces on the spot, and not a single intact body could be found.

  As the flames from the explosion spread, other shells stacked beside the howitzer were also ignited, and a series of powerful explosions covered the entire artillery position of the devils. The burning flames spread to every place, and those artillerymen were blown to pieces. The powerful explosions made the earth tremble, and the flying mud turned into dust, shrouding the entire position.

  "Hah!... Chinese gunman, I must kill you!" The Japanese commander was a lieutenant colonel. Originally he had called for artillery support, but hadn't expected that before the shells were even loaded, Chen Shaokun's single bullet would set off all the shells, directly causing his entire artillery unit to be wiped out. This was naturally unbearable for him, so he bellowed in rage, waving his right hand at the sky, giving the remaining little devils orders to charge.

  As the devil commander's order, those little devils all held guns and rushed to Chen Shaocin's position from all sides, with crossfire and step-by-step pressure, it seemed that they were absolutely not going to let Chen Shaocin continue to stay here, threatening the safety of the devils. Therefore, these little devils were willing to take the risk of their lives again, in order to quickly eliminate the danger coming from Chen Shaocin's flank with strong forces.

  The battalion commander was blocking the enemy's frontal attack on the front line, but after a fierce attack, the little devil suddenly contracted its forces and shifted the focus of the attack to the woods where Chen Shaoqin and others were located, leaving only one company on the front battlefield to entangle with the battalion commander, while the rest of the troops completely ignored this side of the front line and aimed their guns at Chen Shaoqin.

  The squad leader was worried that Chen Shaoqin's side would not be able to hold on, so he immediately ordered Fang Shaopeng: "Fang Shaopeng, get your mortar team into action and bombard the enemy's line of attack. Don't let those little devils get close to Chen Shaoqin and his men!"

  "Yes!" Fang Shaopeng didn't dare to think about anything else at this time. After hearing the captain's order, he immediately turned around and ordered his brothers who were carrying shells and mortars behind him, "Install the mortar on the spot and prepare to bombard the devils on our right flank with a round of running fire!"

  At this moment, Chen Shaoqin pushed Xue Yumei away with one hand, then quickly jumped behind a large tree with his gun, pulled the bolt, and loaded new bullets into the barrel, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the advancing little devils with his sniper rifle.

  At this time, the mortar on the team leader's side was fired, and shells came pouring in, accurately falling on the road ahead of the Little Devils' charge. The intense artillery fire covered the entire road, causing heavy casualties among the Little Devils.

  Chen Shaoqin took this opportunity to grab Xue Yumei's hand and jump out of the formation, running directly towards the woods on the other side. They planned to give the little devils a head-on blow there, she didn't believe that the little devils' brains were as hard as stones, making it impossible for people to guess.

  Just as Chen Shaoqin and his men were about to retreat, they suddenly found a group of little devils appearing right in front of them. Chen Shaoqin was immediately confused about what trick the little devils were going to play next!
