However, the atmosphere on Kong Hao's side was extremely relaxed. After all, there were only thirteen Japanese soldiers, and they only fired thirteen shots to end the battle.

At this time, Zhao Gang just had a better understanding of the special forces' combat effectiveness. It was really terrifying.

Kong Hao only sent out thirteen people to ambush on the roadside. When the Japanese pursuers arrived, they determined the distance through tactical gestures and then opened fire at the same time. Each person only fired one shot.

In Zhao Gang's mind, he already had a rough idea about special operations. They were invincible in small-scale conflicts with the enemy, but they were not very effective when the field troops were engaged in positional warfare.

According to the actual combat power of the Eighth Route Army's ordinary infantry regiment, a main company destroyed an enemy combat unit in the battle, seized a Type 1800 light machine gun, ten Type rifles and two Type pistols, with a total of about bullets and more than melon grenades.

If this record is achieved and casualties on one side are within ten people, the entire unit will be commended by the regiment headquarters, and the company commander and instructor can even share the combat experience at the regiment-wide meeting.

Of course, this tactic wins by surprise attack. If everyone deploys their battle formation, it won’t be so effective, especially when it comes to large-scale offensive and defensive battles.

Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated, Kong Hao immediately ordered his men to move all the bodies of the Japanese devils aside for unified disposal later.

Then, the scouts in front brought more news, this time it was a squad of Japanese soldiers coming.

Kong Hao thought about it for a moment, and quickly led all the team members to move the battlefield forward, and asked everyone to hide according to their usual training.

What Kong Hao has taught the most during this period is the special forces' field camouflage, in order to improve the battlefield survivability of all team members.

To be honest, these people are the most elite part of the 386th Brigade. Any injury or sacrifice of any member of the team will be a huge loss.

Before top-level defensive equipment like bulletproof vests are in place, it is better to focus most of your energy on how to save your life.

Zhao Gang also joined the battle with his guards holding a Type 38 rifle, and so did Wei Dayong, but he was better at using the Mauser pistol.

However, Kong Hao asked them to stay with him and wait until the battle officially started before opening fire to avoid letting the enemy notice in advance.

When a group of Japanese pursuers arrived, the special forces members hid very well and were not discovered even at a distance of fifty meters.

Kong Hao also set up his beloved SVD sniper rifle at this time. After seeing that all the enemies had entered the ambush circle, he first used the high-power scope of the sniper rifle to find the Japanese squad leader.

With his gunshot, the enemy's squad leader fell down, and all the team members opened fire at the same time after receiving the signal.

Twenty-nine special forces soldiers armed with Type 38 rifles each fired just one shot and killed half of a squad of Japanese soldiers.

Then four light machine guns and four grenade launchers opened fire, and a large number of machine gun bullets and grenades poured into the Japanese team, taking away a dozen more at once.

The remaining enemies hurriedly lay on the ground or looked for hidden places to hide, but the special forces' hiding places were carefully surveyed and they had already formed cross fire.

In addition, the enemy is only the second-line force of the Japanese, while the special forces are super soldiers belonging to the 386th Brigade. The quality of the two is completely not on the same level.

All this was done in a flash. By the time Zhao Gang, guards Xiao Wang and Wei Dayong ran out from their hiding places and wanted to shoot, the battle on the scene was almost over.

Kong Hao used a sniper rifle to kill the last two old Japanese soldiers who were hiding very well, and the whole battle ended without any suspense.

The entire battle lasted no more than five minutes, and the ammunition consumed did not exceed 300 rounds.

Next, Kong Hao stood up and gestured to everyone to quickly clear the battlefield.

Xiao Wang leaned close to Zhao Gang's ear and exclaimed in surprise:

"Political Commissar Zhao, this special forces team is too scary."

"They actually have 29 top-notch sharpshooters. Such experts are at least one in a hundred in the army. A main force regiment may not even be able to produce ten of them."

"And they actually have four Czech light machine guns and four grenade launchers. This kind of firepower is comparable to that of a company of the main force."

At this time, Wei Dayong on the side also took the opportunity to add:

"That's not all. Each of them has a German-made rapid-fire machine gun, like the one I have. The last time they saved me, they were using close range shooting. They were all automatic weapons, and their marksmanship is top-notch."

"This is the first time I've seen a small unit equipped with double guns. Even the guard company at our division headquarters didn't have this kind of generosity."

Zhao Gang thought about it carefully, then suddenly realized and said:

"Special forces are equipped with different weapons to adapt to different combat environments. It's a genius idea."

"It's just that our troops are too poor. We can't even provide each person with a rifle, let alone such luxurious equipment."

At this time, Kong Hao came over and said with a smile:

"Political Commissar Zhao, next we have to attack the large Japanese force and rescue those captured."

"Some of our tactics were formed after long-term training. Please lead the guards and Wei Dayong to help look after the supplies here."

Zhao Gang now understood in his heart that if the three of them went with them, not only would they be unable to help, but they would also hinder the rescue plan and affect it.

"Captain Kong, be careful. We'll take care of everything here. Don't worry."

After the two finished talking, they separated, and Kong Hao led everyone to sneak to the place where the prisoners of war were staying.

On the Japanese side, Nishimura felt that the situation was not good when he saw that the team that went out had not returned for a long time.

So he quickly asked everyone to stop resting, whipped all the prisoners with whips, and marched quickly towards the destination.

Only after they reached the solid stronghold, relying on the remaining one hundred or so people, plus the garrison troops, they were not afraid of any more numbers of the Eighth Route Army.

Faced with this emergency, Captain Xu and other prisoners of war were also discussing countermeasures.

"It seems that the Japanese have run into a tough opponent this time. A small group of Japanese soldiers just disappeared like that, and the main force didn't even dare to rescue them. This is not in line with their style."

"Everyone, tell them to do their best to slow down the team's march, but don't fight the enemy head-on."

"According to this situation, our chances of being rescued are very high. We must keep our bodies useful so that we can continue to fight the Japanese in the future."

Next, the team showed a trend of polarization. The Japanese tried desperately to speed up the march, but the prisoners of war were still marching slowly, even slower than before.

Captain Nishimura had no better solution. At this critical moment, he could not use violence as he had done before, otherwise it would cause unrest and cause even more trouble.

Because the special forces had eaten better and had adequate physical training during this period, they could cross mountains and rivers in the wild as if it were flat ground. It didn't take long for them to completely catch up with the Japanese troops.

However, Kong Hao did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he found an excellent ambush location in front and waited for the Japanese to come to him.

Because there were many prisoners of war this time, large-scale killing weapons such as light machine guns and grenade launchers could not be used. Everyone used Type 38 rifles for precision shooting.

The special forces team has also conducted specific training for this situation. Although Zhang Erniu is the best at using a light machine gun, if you think he is just a light machine gunner, you are wrong.

His rifle and Mauser pistol shooting skills are also outstanding. Although he is at the bottom of the special forces team, measured by the standards of the 386th Brigade, he can definitely be ranked in the top and is fully worthy of the title of sharpshooter.

There is no other reason, it's mainly due to the use of bullets. Any good soldier can develop good shooting skills as long as he fires dozens of bullets every day.
