Such a situation was repeated throughout the entire Japanese vanguard.
These snipers only had one target, and that was the Japanese officer.
Seeing his officers being killed one by one, Yoshikawa was furious, but he did not dare to get up from behind the military vehicle.
The vanguard of the entire regiment was suppressed by dozens of snipers.
"Sniper!" Yoshikawa shouted angrily. Where's our sniper! Fight back!"
A sniper hid behind the car and said bitterly to Yoshikawa,""Colonel, our sniper rifle doesn't have enough range!”
Yoshikawa had never expected this to happen. He said in disbelief,""What did you say? Our guns are the most advanced in Japan. How can we not have enough range!”
The Japanese sniper didn't know how to retort. He understood this logic, but this was the reality.
Looking at the Japanese sniper's expression, Yoshikawa took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He said to the machine gunner in the army,""Everyone! Shoot at the enemy sniper's position! If the range was not enough, the muzzle would be too high! Even if we can't kill them, we have to suppress them!”
After Yoshikawa's reminder, the Japanese people came to their senses one by one.
All kinds of intense gunshots began to ring out in the canyon.
The snipers hiding above the canyon started to hide behind cover as they watched the bullets fly towards them.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yoshikawa revealed a smug expression.
"Engineer! Speed Demining."
"Mortars, fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“·····”
The mortar team immediately began to bombard.
Faced with the Japanese's attack, the thirty snipers were in a difficult situation.
"What should we do? Do you want to withdraw?"
"Our regiment commander told us to kill as many Japanese officers as possible. We have killed at least 20 to 30 of them. Isn't it time to retreat?"
"Don't worry. The Japanese are no longer a threat to us. At most, their firepower will suppress us. They had to wait a little longer. There were mines in the canyon and the Japanese could not advance. There were steep walls on both sides of the canyon and they could not climb either. I don't believe that the Japanese can keep firing. I don't believe they won't run out of ammunition!”
Hearing the sniper's words, the others nodded.
"Good! Then let's hold on a little longer. Once the Japanese stop shooting, we will continue to attack. It would be best to kill their engineers so that they could not mine. Once they were unable to advance, they would either retreat or take a detour. We've bought some time for Guild Leader to prepare.”
"We'll do as you say!"
A group of men in camouflage uniforms gathered together and quickly discussed their countermeasures.
Sure enough, the Japanese stopped shooting after ten minutes.
The mortars also stopped firing.
Seeing this scene, the snipers of the Self-Defense Forces began to shoot according to plan.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
“·······”
The crisp sound of the AWM's gunshot echoed in the sky above the canyon again.
Yoshikawa's expression darkened when he saw that the snipers were still alive.
The distance was too far, and they couldn't hit the exact location.
They had wasted so much ammunition. It was too difficult to attack so few people.
Thinking of this, Yoshikawa called out to one of his infantry captains and said,""Take your infantry unit and circle around the valley to the mountain. Capture these snipers! I must kill them with my own hands!"
The captain nodded solemnly and led his 1,300 men to the back of the canyon.
"Old Zhao! They're starting to go around the mountain. What should we do? Should we retreat?"
Old Zhao was the oldest among them. After thinking for a moment, he said,"Wait a little longer."
However, just as he finished speaking, the Japanese team began to fire again.
Now that they were surrounded by artillery and Japanese attacks, it was too late for them to retreat even if they wanted to.
"Don't stop attacking! Buy some time for the 1st Infantry Battalion!”
Yoshikawa ordered again.
The snipers could guess what Yoshikawa was thinking.
They looked at each other and asked,""Old Zhao, what should we do now?"
"Should we charge out directly?”
Old Zhao shook his head." No, we can't. If we rush out now, we won't have any cover to protect us. We'll just be taking a bullet shower."”
"It seems that the Japanese commander doesn't intend to let us go. Since that's the case, we won't leave. Using the cover, he would fight them. Even if he died, he would help the regiment commander take away a few Japanese!”
Hearing Old Zhao's words, none of the loyal snipers objected.
They were Level 1 Snipers who had been summoned, even though their sniping skills were not very high. However, everyone had a loyalty and passion that ordinary people could not understand.
"Good! Let's fight it out with the Japanese!"
Just as everyone was getting ready to fight to the death with the Japanese, a fierce battle suddenly broke out at the back of the canyon.
The sound of artillery shells.
The sound of machine guns firing.
One after another.
When Yoshikawa heard this voice, he immediately shouted,""What are the First Brigade doing?”
"Colonel! Colonel!"
" Colonel!!!"
A soldier ran towards Yoshikawa in panic.
Yoshikawa frowned and shouted at the soldier,""What are you lying about? Tell me quickly, what happened?”
"First Brigade, First Brigade is under attack. The enemy is equipped with heavy firepower. The first brigade is unable to launch an effective counterattack. Requesting fire support from the artillery squadron!”
When Yoshikawa heard this, he immediately reacted.
"Baka! It must be Chu Yunfei. No one else in the entire region had such strength. Send a telegram to the military and tell them that we are being ambushed by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment." Tell the military to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Artillery squadron, head to the rear to support the 1st Battalion!”
"Second Battalion, continue to suppress the snipers. Engineer soldiers, quickly clear the mines! He had to open a gap in front of him!”
Yoshikawa had already realized the danger.
Chu Yunfei's attack was still very threatening to him.
Especially now that their entire regiment was trapped in the entire canyon.
Thinking of his current predicament, Yoshikawa was already filled with anger. Coincidentally, he saw the squadron leader of his reconnaissance squadron walking towards him.
He grabbed the collar of the Squadron Leader and shouted angrily,""You trash! What did your reconnaissance squadron discover? Didn't I ask you to scout the frontline in advance and didn't find any large-scale troops?”
The captain of the reconnaissance squadron also shouted in confusion,"Colonel! Our scouting squadron has indeed scouted ahead of time. We didn't find any large scale forces in the entire Frontline Sky. I can swear on this to the Emperor!”
Yoshikawa looked at the Squadron Leader's expression and quickly thought about it.
If the reconnaissance squadron did not detect any large-scale forces, then what was going on with the enemy attack at the rear?
Could it be that these snipers had rushed over when they were holding him back?
At the thought of this, Yoshikawa's expression darkened.
He already understood.
The snipers above the canyon and the mines in the canyon were not aiming to kill them.
The most important thing was to delay their actions and delay their time.
When they were trapped in the canyon, the enemy quickly moved to the back of the canyon and cut off their retreat!
They had been tricked!
They were actually held back by a few dozen snipers!!!
