Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

"I found you, hehe!"

A Japanese machine gunner had already discovered Ma Hu's hiding place. His finger was firmly on the trigger, and a series of bullets flew towards Ma Hu, who was lying on the ground thinking about tactics.

Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of crisis came over me.

Ma Hu instantly bounced up with his hands on the ground and rolled to the right.

At this moment, the Japanese bullets arrived, but all of them hit Ma Hu's previous position.

The Japanese machine gunner was stunned, feeling as if a cooked duck had flown away.

The Japs angrily swept their machine guns across the sky and chased after Ma Hu who was rolling sideways.

Although Ma Hu rolled sideways quickly, he was no faster than the Japanese bullets. It seemed that Ma Hu was about to die under the Japanese machine gun.

However, at this moment, at this critical moment of life and death, a sudden bullet hit the Japanese machine gunner's head without any warning.

The machine gunner's body suddenly shook, the weapon in his hand fell limply, and the whole person fell to the ground like a dead dog.

Aoki was shocked when he saw this, because the shot was actually fired from the opposite woods. The two were at least three hundred meters apart, but the other party shot him right in the head.

This is a sniper, and a very good sniper.

Aoki ordered: "Katsuharu, Katsunari, there is a sniper on the other side, find him and kill him."

"Hi!"

A Japanese soldier named Shengchun took the order and immediately looked for the sniper with a sniper rifle.

But at this moment, the sound of rumbling artillery was heard, and Shengchun's eyes, including the woods where he was hiding, were hit by a series of artillery fire.

The air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder and smoke. The earth seemed to be shaking. The leaves were torn into pieces by the powerful air waves and flew all over the sky, like the most severe storm in autumn.

The shells came from far away, and almost the moment they hit the ground, they burst into dazzling light and deafening explosions.

The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating everything around and making the outlines of the trees appear distorted and hideous.

The shock wave generated by the explosion caused the surrounding trees to shake violently, and some were even broken in half. Branches and broken leaves flew everywhere like raindrops, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

Immediately afterwards, the second, the third... and more shells followed, and each explosion was accompanied by an earth-shaking tremor.

The air was filled with smoke, and the entire forest seemed to be engulfed by the fire of hell, turning into a purgatory on earth.

Shengchun hid behind a tree, his face pale, his hands tightly holding the sniper rifle, not daring to stick his head out to look for his target.

Under the fierce artillery fire, survival became his only thought.

Although the shells did not land directly on him, every explosion made him feel that death was imminent.

Aoki was also shocked by the sudden bombardment and stood there in a daze. He realized that this battle was far beyond his control. The threat of snipers had not been eliminated yet, and now he was under such heavy fire. If he continued to fight, his entire army would be in danger of being wiped out.

Although there were not many people left around him at this time, he did not want to be alone.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Aoki gave orders loudly.

The Japanese puppet troops, as if they had been pardoned, began to flee towards Phoenix City again.

Duanwu walked out of the woods, followed by Ma Pingan and others.

The artillery fire just now was the rapid fire that Duanwu ordered the artillery to launch.

Logically, Duanwu should have divided his troops to encircle the enemy.

However, Ma Hu and his brothers fell into the trap of the devils and were suppressed in an open area without any cover. So Duanwu had no choice but to use a grenade launcher to quickly repel the enemy and rescue Ma Hu and others.

At this time, there were only twenty or so brothers left around Ma Hu, which was a tragic situation.

Although Ma Hu's expression did not change at all, his eyes revealed deep self-blame.

Because he was greedy for merit and acted rashly, he ended up falling into an ambush by the Japanese.

And Duanwu didn't say anything. It was meaningless to reprimand Ma Hu at this time.

So Duanwu just patted Ma Hu's shoulder, then turned around and said to Ma Ping'an and others: "You and Ma Dangjia go back to clean up the battlefield and bring all the food back."

Ma Pingan asked back: "What about you?"

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "Of course we should kill Qingmu. This devil is very smart in fighting. If we let him live, I'm afraid our lives will be difficult in the future."

Ma Pingan frowned and said, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Can I ask a few more people to follow you?"

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "They are not as fast as me."

Having said that, Duanwu didn't care what Ma Ping'an said. He stepped on the ground and flew out directly. Like a black line, he rushed away close to the ground. In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ma Ping'an, Ma Hu and others marveled at Duanwu's speed, which was even faster than the Japanese trucks running at full speed.

"Let's go, clean up the battlefield and bring back all the food."

At this time, Ma Ping'an gave an order, ordering everyone to go back to clean up the battlefield and transport the food away.

This was not an easy job either, because Ma Hu had previously blown up a Japanese grain transport truck in order to intercept the Japanese.

Some of the vehicles were destroyed during the Japanese retreat.

The Japanese were not fools, so they left the intact truck to the enemy. Moreover, there was so much food on the truck.

The reason they didn't burn the food was simply because they simply didn't have the time.

So Ma Ping'an still has a lot of work to do when he returns.

Let’s first see if the truck can be repaired. If it cannot be repaired, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take away so much food if they only rely on manpower.

And they also have to be wary of the Japanese reinforcements.

About 20 kilometers away from the scene of the incident, there was a Japanese stronghold.

Although the number of Japanese devils and puppet troops was not large, Ma Ping'an still had to be on guard against them causing trouble for him.

He left this matter to Long Qianyan.

Long Qianyan led the sniper team to deploy two kilometers to the south and east to monitor the enemy who might come to reinforce from the south or east.

While Ma Ping'an assigned some people to clean up the battlefield, he personally climbed onto the Japanese car and started repairing it.

On the first car, the keyhole was blocked. And it was the key that blocked the keyhole.

It's just a broken key.

The Japanese used this method to prevent Ma Ping'an from starting the car.

But this did not pose a problem for Ma Pingan at all. He pulled out the two wires under the keyhole, and then gently put them together, and the car started instantly.

Ma Ping'an gently stepped on the accelerator, and the car ran normally, which made Ma Ping'an breathe a sigh of relief.

Since this car can be restarted, he can transport the food! (End of this chapter)
