Chapter 134: Duckling

What no one expected was that the injured little soldier stood up again and limped down the mountain.

"Xiao Li! Comrade Xiao Li! Come back soon!"

The soldiers shouted nervously in the trenches. The place where he was injured was only ten meters away from our trenches. If he climbed back, he would have some hope of survival, but he was walking in another direction.

Isn't that asking for death? I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Only then did I realize that his name was Xiao Li. He was just an ordinary volunteer soldier and a new recruit. Like other new recruits, he wouldn't even throw grenades when he first joined the volunteer army. But he had the courage to expose himself to the gun of the enemy sniper.

What is he going to do? Let me find out the position of the sniper? Or do I want to complete the mission? Or do I have both? I don’t know the answer and I don’t want to think too much. What I can do now is hope that he will sacrifice the value!

So I focused my attention again on the scope and stared at the forest three hundred meters away...

I could feel the pain of the puppet army sniper. His original intention was to injure the correspondent soldier so that he could not complete the mission, and at the same time he could attract more "prey" for him. Why not kill two birds with one stone? But what he didn't expect was that no one ran out, and what he didn't expect was that this inconspicuous correspondent soldier would continue to carry out his mission completely regardless of his life!

He is now in a dilemma. He is now facing two paths, either taking the risk of shooting and exposing his position, or letting the young soldier go to the destination step by step to complete his mission. In the past, he might have used this trick against the People's Army, and it was a long time to try it out, but the same tactics used on the Volunteer Army had completely different results.

The little soldier limped down. He walked slowly and hard. Every step could leave a red footprint in the mud beneath his feet. But he walked very firmly. He seemed to be a challenge to the enemy sniper and a ridicule...

I have no time to look at the warrior more because I have to seize this opportunity created with my life.

Will puppet army snipers fire? My answer is yes.

If this sniper was trained by the Japanese army, if he had received Japanese education since childhood, then Japanese militarism and Bushido spirit would have more or less influenced him. I even thought, maybe he was also a Korean who only knew Japanese but did not speak Korean, just like the old man who once helped me.

Therefore, he, influenced by Japanese culture, would definitely not be able to stand the challenge and ridicule of others.

So, that little warrior will definitely die because he is the one who challenged him and laughed at him.

The little soldier continued to walk down, and everyone was watching him, on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, including the puppet troops hiding in the trenches in the distance.

Japanese snipers love to climb trees, which is no longer a secret during the Pacific War. The US military's way to deal with these snipers is to use machine guns, rocket launchers, and recoilless cannons to smash these Japanese snipers and the canopy he was hiding. But I don't think this puppet army sniper would hide in the tree, because if he hid in the tree, then his sniper object should not be the little soldier, but me.

I was really lucky. When I interrogated the prisoners and shouted for correspondents just now, it was enough to reveal that I was a "little official". If the puppet army sniper was hiding in a tree, I was afraid that I would be finished now. This also made me realize that I should not be so careless on the battlefield in the future, otherwise I would become the target of being sniped one day.

There is only one reason why I am not finished, that is, the shooting circle of the puppet army sniper was blocked by the leaves above his head, and he could not see the trenches. He might have just entered the sniper position and had not had time to climb onto the tree, and then he saw the little soldier running down the mountain. The communications soldiers on the battlefield were enough to become the targets worth snipers, because they often carried important documents or orders on them...

At this time, the little soldier seemed to trip and fell to the ground by something, but he quickly got up and continued to walk down. I knew that every minute he approached the destination, he was one minute closer to the God of Death. The sniper would not have allowed him to reach his destination. But what surprised me was that the puppet army sniper had not fired until then, and he seemed to be waiting for something.

I narrowed my eyes and finally focused my attention on two trees more than ten meters away from the edge of the forest, because only these two trees had leaves that were dense enough to block his sight of shooting.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a shell exploded on our position, and then the explosion and gunshots became a whole. The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and the puppet army launched an attack on the nameless high ground we were stationed from both sides, and the battlefield soon became chaotic.

I suddenly knew what the sniper was waiting for! But if this guy thought this would distract me, then he would be wrong!

At this time, something even more unexpected happened. Almost at the moment when the enemy launched an attack, a mortar shell exploded in the forest, and then a machine gun bullet hit the leaves in the forest. Captain Chu couldn't help but suppress the sniper while using mortars and machine gun fire, and on the other hand, he sent three soldiers to rescue the correspondent who was heading towards the position.

I couldn't help but scream in my heart. The light and smoke from the shell explosion were enough to cover up the flames and smoke emitted by the puppet army sniper when they fired. Sure enough, the little soldier trembled and fell into a pool of blood, and then another soldier who ran out to rescue...

I had lost two comrades, but I saw nothing, and I didn't even hear the gunshots of that guy. I just hated me so much that I gritted my teeth, but I could do nothing.

At this moment, a small firelight appeared between the two trees I locked. It flashed like the light of a fluorescent fireflies, and the firelight was so small that it made people think it was an illusion. If I hadn't locked the two trees in advance, I think I would have missed it.

"Bang bang bang..." I shot three bullets in the gun chamber at the position of the fire in one breath. If the first bullet deviates from the direction because it is blocked by a branch, then the other two bullets may still hit him.

Then I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I knew I had hit him because I watched the third soldier successfully return to the trench opposite with the correspondent on his back. With the Japanese army's cruel and bloodthirsty personality, if it weren't for being injured or killed, I would never have missed such a good opportunity.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful that the sniper exposed his position too early and allowed me to successfully kill him. Otherwise, when the puppet army launched a charge, the sniper hiding in the forest would become a very difficult problem.

Turning around and looking at the offensive of the puppet army, I couldn't help but feel more determined that the unit was trained by the Japanese army. Because their attack method was very different from that of the US army covering each other's forward. I saw a group of puppet soldiers with bayonets shouting "만세 (Korean: Long Live)" and charging towards our position. This is almost a copy of the Japanese army's long live charge at the enemy when they shouted "Ban Zai (Japanese: Long Live)" during World War II...

The clumsy and unchanging tactics of the Japanese army were unexpectedly reflected in the current puppet army again. Such a charge might be useful if it was during World War I or the early stages of World War II, when most of the weapons in the defensive infantry were single-shot rifles, but now when even the volunteers are equipped with a large number of submachine guns and machine guns, such a charge is tantamount to suicide.

But what surprised me was that they were a bit crazy like that. It is said that this was also part of the Japanese army's charge, which could put psychological pressure on the enemy. When the poor quality saw their bayonets charging without fear of death, they were so scared that they left their positions and fled. Unfortunately, they were facing the volunteer army, an army that was also not afraid of death.

"Fight!" When the puppet soldiers ran nearly fifty meters away, I shouted and raised my gun to start the battle first.

The darkness will affect the accuracy of the soldiers' shooting, allowing the puppet army to get closer and then shoot can solve this problem, but the distance is too close and gives the enemy the opportunity to throw grenades at us, so the distance of fifty meters is just right.

"Dadada..." With the fierce gunfire, the puppet soldiers in the front row were instantly beaten into honeycombs, and then rolled down to the high ground like wood. The puppet soldiers behind were tripped or knocked down. In short, it was a large area, and the number of people surprised the volunteer soldiers.

Not long after, when the gunfire of the soldiers weakened, the fallen puppet soldiers shouted again and got up from the ground and charged.

"Hey! Not bad!" I pulled the trigger a few times and knocked down three puppet soldiers. I couldn't help but secretly praised in my heart. This way of charging is much more skillful than the tactics of the little Japanese. It seems that it is better than the best.

However, the current weapons of the Volunteer Army were not Xiaomi and rifles when they first entered North Korea. The light and heavy machine guns and the Bobosha submachine guns made the firepower reach a large step. The puppet army charged forward several times and was unable to lift their heads up by the soldiers' bullets. In the end, they had to throw dozens of corpses and retreat in shame.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" As soon as the enemy retreated, Zhao Yongxin hugged and ran to me and whispered: "It won't be possible to continue like this. The ammunition is consumed too much!"

"Yes! Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Hu Zi also ran up and shouted: "Those machine guns, heavy machine guns are very good at firing, but they are all bullet-eating machines. Our company's ammunition is knocked out half at once! If this continues, you will have to go up and fight for bayonets when you charge twice again!"

"Well!" I realized this serious problem after hearing this. The increase in firepower comes at the cost of bullet consumption. Now the volunteers lack the most is bullets, and what they fear the most is consumption.

"And..." Zhao Yongxin said in embarrassment again: "At least one-third of our soldiers are holding submachine guns. If this bullet is exhausted, it will be a fire stick. It will not be possible to fight a bayonet with the enemy..."

Damn! What kind of Su-style equipment? I couldn't help but curse when I heard this. These are all things that are not good when the logistics cannot keep up. It's not as good as before, everyone was holding a 38-style cover in their hands. No matter how bad it is, they can fight against the enemy with bayonets!

"This is how it goes!" After thinking about it, I said helplessly: "Don't fire the machine gun. Distribute all the bullets to the soldiers holding the rifles, and leave some bullets for the machine gun when necessary, so that the soldiers can save bullets! Get the bayonets ready, see the chance, let's launch a counter-charge and grab some bullets from the enemy!"

"Yes!" The two of them responded and returned to their own positions.

Only then did I have time to carefully observe the surrounding terrain. This place is like other places in North Korea, with a mountainous area. A highway goes around several large bends and passes through more than a dozen highlands, high and low.

Because our volunteer army's main task was to intercept the fleeing puppet troops, we occupied the highlands along the road as soon as we got up. In a hurry, we did not find that the outer highlands had been occupied by the puppet troops, and we suffered a big loss.

In addition, the People's Army broke out as soon as it started fighting, and now our army has been compressed to the three high grounds in the middle. Commander Chu and about two battalions of soldiers were stationed on the high ground on both sides of the high ground, on the surrounding high ground and at the foot of the mountain were troops of the Puppet Army Capital Division. However, as long as these two high grounds were not lost, the deserters of the Puppet Army would not be able to escape through the highway.

However, the high ground I defended became a must-fight place for the puppet army because it was high in height and close to the two high grounds on both sides of the road. Once the puppet army took this high ground, it could set up machine guns and mortars here to attack our army from a high point just like when we started to fight. If we hadn't been able to tear a hole in the middle of the road by accident and take this high ground down, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this time, a few lights suddenly flashed in my scope, and then a few roar of motors came faintly from the north wind blowing towards me. I couldn't help but frown, and the retreating pseudo-6th Division came down. It would be fine if the capital division had a regiment, but now another division has escaped. Isn't it just surrounding us like an iron barrel? But this seems to be good news. If the puppet army escaped here, it means that the large number of volunteer troops are almost chasing here. As long as we guard for another one, two hours...

But now we are almost out of bullets, so what can we use to block the enemy's crowds?

Just as I was thinking about the lights on the road suddenly lit up. The first thing that entered my scope was a car full of puppet troops, followed by one after another, and more and more. Some cars were still pulling howitzers behind them. It seemed that they had escaped more and had experienced their experiences. This time, they could be said to have escaped in an orderly manner and were still pulling guns!

At this time, under the headlights of the car, several puppet troops emerged from both sides of the road, standing in the middle of the road, shouting loudly, as if they wanted to stop the convoy. The puppet troops were lined up here by the Capital Division, waiting to warn the deserters of the enemy on the road ahead. But to my surprise, the deserters might have thought the puppet troops were calling them to go back to fight, so they ignored them at all, and even honked the horn and increased the accelerator to rush forward, which made the puppet troops blocking the road dodge in a very embarrassing manner!

Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but feel happy, and turned around and asked a soldier to call the two company commanders.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui! Is there a mission?" After a while, Zhao Yongxin and Hu Zi fell to me.

"Look!" I pointed to the convoy that was still rushing around despite the obstruction and said, "Those puppet troops were so soulless that our large army chased, and even the people from the Capital Division could not stop them!"

"There is a good show now!" Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but joke: "The puppet army's escape is really scary, it's like no one to recognize relatives!"

"What's the good show?" Hu Zi curled his lips unhappily, "The price was picked up by Captain Chu and others. We are at least three or four hundred meters away from the road, and we can't see it but can't beat it!"

"Who said I couldn't fight?" I smiled and said, "Do you still remember how we looked when we fought the puppet army deserters?"

"How can I not remember?" Hu Zi replied: "It's like driving a duck. We can run wherever we hit them, and it's a mess!"

"That's it!" I nodded and said, "So this time! Let's drive the ducks again..."

The deserter convoy of the Sixth Pseudo-Second Division was still driving forward on its own. Because the road between the mountains was very twisty, the pseudo-Capital Division, which was ambushing the inclined surface of the high ground, did not notice the convoy that broke into their encirclement from behind. It was not until the car turned the headlights and illuminated the road ahead that the puppet troops suddenly discovered that their friendly deserters were hiking into the encirclement of the Volunteers in a daze, but the helplessness was that their encirclement had contracted very small. Before they could run down the mountain to stop the convoy, the convoy had already plunged into the two high grounds guarded by Commander Chu.

Alas! Who made the pseudo-Sixth Division escape? They drove the cars as airplanes...

With a loud bang, the first car was blown into flames by several grenades in the blink of an eye. The dozens of puppet soldiers on it were blown into the sky before they could react, either dead or injured. The gunshots also rang out. The dozens of cars that broke into the encirclement instantly rushed on the road like headless flies and rushed back! Some wanted to turn around and run back, but the cars behind couldn't stop and hit its butt. Some drivers were even more panicked and drove the car into the ditch. With a scream, the car turned over and the puppet soldiers above were thrown down.

After a while, the cars finally stopped. Groups of puppet troops jumped out of the car in panic and lay on the ground to shoot, but the car's headlights clearly exposed them to the light, leaving them without the power to fight back.
Chapter completed!
