The appearance of the mysterious sniper forced Aoki and his group to give up any tactical considerations and just rush to escape.

At this time, the direction is no longer important, because no matter which direction, just stopping means death is approaching.

They are like a group of prey chased by hounds, desperately looking for a glimmer of life possible.

The Imperial Army, which was originally following Aoki, had already fled in all directions driven by fear, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a string of chaotic footprints and a few terrifying shouts echoed in the dead silence.

Aoki was furious, but he was helpless because he no longer had the ability to chase the other party back.

While running, sweat slid down Aoki's cheeks, making him look very embarrassed.

Aoki felt a huge humiliation surged into his heart.

This is the worst defeat he has ever lost.

His subordinates fled to death, and there were only a dozen subordinates left.

There were still rustling sounds in the forest. It was obvious that the sniper did not pursue the Imperial Army but came towards them.

A strange panic surged in Aoki's heart, and even thought of the terrible word death.

"No, I can't die."

Aoki suddenly had a firm look and forced himself to remain calm. Aoki understood that the most important thing at this moment was to survive. Only by living can he have a chance to make a comeback.

So he led the remaining subordinates to flee wildly regardless of east, south, west and north.

Dragon Boat Festival is very patient. He is like a lone wolf, consuming the enemy's physical strength bit by bit.

In nature, wolves are indeed not the strongest carnivore.

But it must be the most patient and persistent animal.

It can chase its prey for several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers. When its enemies fall into weakness and fatigue, it is when it takes action.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I don’t know how many dozens of minutes or one or two hours.

Aoki, who had run to the point of losing strength, finally stopped.

At this time, seeing Aoki stop, the other Japanese lie on the ground with relief.

At this time, they seemed to have been exhausted all their strength, and even if they moved their little fingers, they didn't want to move.

And no one noticed that there were seven or eight people missing in their team.

When I escaped last time, there were sixteen people around Aoki. At this time, Aoki had not even ten people arrived.

But at this time, all the Japanese did not pay attention to this point, and some Japanese even thought that even if the mysterious sniper appeared, they would not plan to escape. It would be better to die by the other party's snatch, and it would be so pleasant to come.

Bang!

The Japanese expectation came as promised. Just as he was lying on the ground and enjoying that moment of tranquility, a bullet fulfilled all his wishes.

The Japanese died without even moving, and he was the happiest one to die.

"Baga!"

Hearing the gunshots, Aoki roared and got up from the ground, then ordered: "Defend on the spot, the terrain here is beneficial to us."

At this time, Aoki and others were on a sunny hillside.

Although the sun is still blocked by dark clouds, a few rays of sunlight penetrate the clouds and shine down.

Of course, this doesn't matter. Even if you can determine your direction through the sun at this time, Aoki doesn't have the energy to think about these things.

If he wants to survive, he can only give it a try.

The current terrain is very beneficial to them, and they occupy the forest on the slope and condescend to the top.

If they keep here, at least in a short time, the enemy will not be able to make any further progress.

But he ignored one thing, that is, the Japanese under his command were exhausted.

Moreover, some Japanese fell to the ground after stopping, which directly caused their calves to cramp and howling in pain.

"Quick, get up."

Seeing this, Aoki shouted the order, but was still one step late at this time.

Another bullet came, and a Japanese man who happened to be in front of him was killed on the spot.

And the bullet penetrated the Japanese body, and the bullet hit Aoki's left arm again.

Although the bullet was blocked by the first Japanese, the bullet was still deeply embedded in Aoki's arm.

The severe pain made Aoki sweat instantly, but he endured the pain and hid back behind the tree again.

He knew that the bullet was coming just now. If it weren't for his subordinates blocking him, he would probably be the one who died at this time.

He took a look when the gunshots came again, and another imperial soldier was dead.

At this time, the situation was hopeless, and Aoki felt that it was only a matter of time before the other party cleaned up his subordinates.

"Baga, who is the other party?"

Aoki complained in his heart, but had to face a difficult choice, whether to rush out to die, or to apply oil to his feet while his subordinates resisted the other party?

It is undoubtedly the last option.

Aoki is not a Bushido spiritually wise man.

He has not yet realized the dying of the Great Japanese Empire.

Of course, if he was really mentally bushido, he probably wouldn't have lived until now.

So Aoki ordered two loudly to defend, then took off his clothes and hung them on the tree, proving that he was still there, so he ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.

When the other Japanese discovered it, they were only two people left. When they reported to Chief Aoki, they found that Chief Aoki was missing.

The two Japanese were very angry, and their commander left them and ran away.

But at this moment, it was too late for the two Japanese to run away. Bullets flew over without warning, and one of them was shot and killed on the spot in anger.

Another Japanese man crawled into the forest and wanted to escape, but before he could run out ten meters, he fell to the ground.

At this time, Dragon Boat Festival slowly walked up the hillside, checking the corpses of the Japanese on the ground while raising bullets.

"Did you run away?"

When he saw Aoki's coat hanging on the tree, he knew that the most difficult Japanese Aoki had escaped.

I looked around Dragon Boat Festival and found blood on the ground.

And this coincides with the gun hole in the clothes. In other words, although Aoki escaped, he was injured.

The Dragon Boat Festival was slightly happy and followed the blood.

However, on the mountain about 500 meters away from here, Aoki was watching this scene.

He smiled cunningly, because how could he make such a low-level mistake? Leave blood to track the enemy down?

The blood was to lead Dragon Boat Festival away, and he ran towards Phoenix City.

Before, it was because Aoki could not distinguish the direction and determined his position.

But when he left the forest, he found the approximate position of the sun, and then used the basic principle of the sun shadow direction formed by the sun and pocket watch, and quickly distinguished the direction of Phoenix City.
