Chapter 564: One Man Chasing a Group of Frightened Devils
The Japanese squad leader who stayed at the edge of the woods heard the constant gunshots and screams, and paced back and forth anxiously. He wanted to lead his men into the woods to support Xia Chuan and Er, but Xia Chuan had already given orders that he had to stay here and provide support no matter what happened.
Just when he was getting too anxious to bear it any longer, Xia Chuanhe Er ran towards him in a panic with a pistol in his hand.
Xia Chuanhe'er, who was fleeing in a panic, had his military cap fallen off, his hair was messy, and it was covered with mud. His military uniform was also covered with mud. During the retreat, he fell twice in a panic, and his military uniform was scratched by the thorns that had not been burned clean, and there was mud on his face.
Behind Xia Chuan and Er, a large number of Japanese soldiers were also fleeing in a panic, without any cover at all, and they didn't even dare to look back. Many of them fell to the ground while fleeing, but got up and continued to flee. Those who ran slowly could never escape the woods and fell one after another on the way.
"Sir Captain, what exactly happened?" The Japanese captain immediately stepped forward and asked.
Xia Chuanhe'er's face was pale, and he shouted breathlessly: "Leave a small team to cover the people behind and cover the rear. The others follow me to meet up with Captain Gao Cang!"
"Hayi!"
Under the order of the squad leader, a small team stayed behind to provide cover and cover the rear, blocking the enemy behind them.
Zhang Yunhe did not chase them out of the woods. He stood on the branch of a big tree and watched with his own eyes Xia Chuan and Er escape with their remaining troops. They then joined up with a group of Japanese soldiers who stayed in the camp, quickly reorganized their team, and evacuated in panic.
There was another small group of Japanese soldiers at the edge of the woods. They used engineering shovels to dig eight foxholes in the shortest time. These foxholes were in the shape of a figure eight facing the woods, with four on each side.
There was a Japanese soldier in each of the four foxholes in the front, two Japanese soldiers in each of the two middle foxholes, and three Japanese soldiers in each of the two back foxholes.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers were still concentrating on staring at the direction of the woods, but Zhang Yunhe had already hidden himself and circled behind them.
He squatted in the grass, took out two grenades from the backpack, pulled out the safety pins and threw them into the last two trenches.
"boom"
"boom"
Two consecutive explosions blew six Japanese soldiers into the sky, including the sergeant leading the squad.
The Japanese soldiers in the first few foxholes were all focused on the woods. The sudden explosion behind them scared them. They all turned back to observe the situation, but saw the smoke from the explosion in the last two foxholes dissipating, and could not see the Japanese soldiers inside.
The two Japanese soldiers in the two middle trenches climbed out and approached the explosion site cautiously with guns in hand.
"They, they were all blown to death..." A Japanese soldier shouted in a trembling voice after seeing six corpses lying in two pits.
When the other Japanese soldiers in the trenches heard this, they slowly stood up and walked over, silently looking at the Japanese soldiers who were blown beyond recognition.
One of the Japanese soldiers ran towards the direction where Xia Chuan and the second person were retreating with a gun in hand. Seeing this, the remaining Japanese soldiers also ran away.
The officers leading the team were all killed in the explosion. Without a leader, the fighting spirit of these devils had long been shaky, and what had just happened completely destroyed their fighting spirit.
The last Japanese soldier had just run a few steps when he was knocked away by Zhang Yunhe who was hiding nearby. Before he could get up, Zhang Yunhe cut off his head with his wrist blade.
After killing this Japanese soldier, Zhang Yunhe chased after the other Japanese soldiers and shot a short arrow. The Japanese soldier who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground and never woke up again.
Retracting the short arrow, Zhang Yunhe quickly chased after him, taking out his rifle and shooting as he went. He shot one person after another, and every shot hit the head, without missing a single target.
He quickly killed the remaining few devils one by one.
He didn't care about the bodies of these devils, but just picked up their guns, ammunition and equipment.
Zhang Yunhe, who was picking up guns, ammunition and equipment along the way, soon arrived at the camp left by the Japanese devils.
After scanning the camp, no living people were found, only tents and supplies left on the ground.
It can be seen that after Xiachuan Heji met up with Takakura Shiro, they evacuated in a hurry and took away very few supplies, most of which were left here.
Zhang Yunhe was not polite and accepted all the supplies in the camp, even the tents.
After packing up everything, Zhang Yunhe raised his arm and pressed a button on the Tiexue computer. A light shadow of the earth was projected. He then pointed at the shadow and the picture changed instantly.
In the picture, a group of Japanese soldiers were running hurriedly towards the northwest. They were all panting and sweating. In the front were two officers on horseback, namely Natsukawa Kazuji and Takakura Shiro.
More and more Japanese soldiers fell behind. Some of them fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. Some were so tired that they didn't want to run anymore. They simply lay on the ground to rest, thinking that they might as well die.
"Sir, Squadron Leader, we really can't run anymore. Let's find a place to rest. More and more people are falling behind. So far, there are less than 100 of us left!" The Japanese squad leader reported to Xia Chuan and Er with a pale face and panting.
Xia Chuan and Er Lema stopped, rolled up their sleeves and looked at their watches. Up to now, they had been running for two hours since they left the camp.
He pulled a map from a bag on his horse's back and unfolded it to examine it. Finding a location on the map, he looked up and gave an order: "Pass the word down. Tell the Imperial warriors to stop running and start walking. We'll march for another half an hour and then reach a forest five miles ahead to rest and set up defenses. This time, I'm confident that if the enemy dares to catch up, I can capture him. Even if I can't capture him alive, I can kill him!"
"Hello!" the team leader agreed.
After the order was passed down, the Japanese soldiers got a glimmer of hope and their morale improved a little. They gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward. They had long been unable to maintain their formation.
At this time, Zhang Yunhe was still sitting on a big rock next to the train carriage, drinking boiled water, eating canned meat, and watching the Japanese soldiers fleeing through three-dimensional virtual holographic images.
He was not in a hurry. He wanted to see where this group of devils would end up and how they planned to escape his pursuit.
He did not intend to engage in a head-on confrontation with this group of Japs in broad daylight. At most, he would launch one or two sneak attacks when the Japs were not paying attention or resting. If he really wanted to do a big fight, he would have to do it at night, using the cover of darkness so that he could exert his maximum combat power.
When the screen showed the Japanese soldiers entering a forest, some of them resting while others leaning against a cliff to set up defenses and traps, Zhang Yunhe immediately became interested.
"Are you planning to end things with me in this woods backed by the cliff? Very good, I like it!" Zhang Yunhe's eyes sparkled.
