Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Although the number of team members dispatched this time was not as large as that in the attack on Yangcun, their combat effectiveness was definitely not weak. Yamamoto was very confident in his team. The source of his confidence was that they easily dealt a heavy blow to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in the Yangcun encounter.

Faced with this sudden and intensive attack, he had enough confidence to fight back as long as he could suppress it with firepower.

However, what he didn't know was that even with light machine guns, the special forces' firepower could not compete with it. Under the coverage of this long firepower network, the special forces were just well-trained and quick-reacting Japanese devils.

The mountain roads were already narrow, and the special forces had all-round advantages, giving the Japanese no chance to counterattack at all.

Lin Qiang also transformed into a sniper and could kill a Japanese soldier with one shot using an assault rifle.

"Grenade hello!"

While Team One was changing bullets, Team Two, under the command of Duan Peng, used grenades to fill the gap created by the change of bullets.

Lin Qiang was standing by, watching closely. If any Japanese soldier dared to show up, he would be hit by a high-speed spinning bullet.

"Boom~"

Grenades exploded one after another, sending up balls of fire on the ground. The explosions stirred up dust and rubble. Even if the Japanese were not killed by the explosions, they were riddled with bloody holes from the rubble.

With fire suppression, grenade attacks, and Lin Qiang's high-precision sniping, the special forces team cooperated closely and connected their attacks without any gaps. For a time, Yamamoto's special forces team was forced to not dare to show up.

After just a few minutes of confrontation, nearly 20 members of the special forces team were killed.

"idiot!"

Yamamoto Ikki hid behind a rock on the side of the road and roared furiously. This was the first time the special forces team was so embarrassed since its formation.

"Counterattack, concentrate your firepower and counterattack!"

Counterattack is the only thing that can be done right now. Trying to escape from the current embarrassing situation will only cause greater casualties to the team.

If we can form a counter-suppression with firepower, there is still hope of saving everything.

The special forces were no pushovers either. They always found the right shooting angle to fight back. For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, and the dense bullets made the grass leaves fly.

"Grenade, use grenade!"

Under Yamamoto's command, the special forces team tried to use grenades to suppress the firepower. Even if it was only for a moment, it was enough for them to launch an effective counterattack.

But this was in vain, and Lin Qiang sniped and killed three Japanese soldiers from the special forces team.

When setting up the ambush position, Duan Peng took into account the range of the submachine gun. Although it was within the effective range, it was enough to prevent the submachine gun from exerting its full strength.

Moreover, they were attacking from high and low, so the Japanese grenades could not reach the position at all. They either exploded halfway or returned the same way.

As a result, the special forces' bullets did not cause much damage. Instead, the grenades thrown by the Japanese themselves, the shrapnel and gravel produced after the explosion caused them considerable trouble.

Casualties continue to mount.

It took Yamamoto Ikki less than ten minutes to go from his initial confidence, to the idea of turning defeat into victory, to the search for a way to break through at this moment.

"Bagaya Road!"

“Why is there such a strong team?”

"Could it be the Eighth Route Army?"

Yamamoto suddenly exploded in anger and shouted, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He had a lot of detailed intelligence about the Eighth Route Army, and there was no such team in the entire northwest Shanxi battlefield.

Where the hell did this damn team come from?!

There was a hint of disbelief in Yamamoto Ikki's eyes. It was obvious that the combat effectiveness of the special forces exceeded his expectations.

After just a few minutes of fighting, he realized that this team was no weaker than his special forces team in any aspect.

Moreover, the fully automatic weapons they use have a long range, high accuracy, and powerful firepower which makes up for the shortcoming of firing rate.

The gunfire from the battle was not chaotic, only the sounds of the M3 submachine guns equipped by the special forces team and the sounds of fully automatic guns that he had never heard before.

Is this the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Central Army?

neither!

Yamamoto Ikki combined the information in his mind and came to a conclusion that horrified him.

This team that put him in a passive position belonged neither to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army nor to the Central Army, but to the Eighth Route Army that he had always despised!

How can this be!

Yamamoto did not think it was difficult to train such a team. What shocked him was that the Eighth Route Army actually had fully automatic weapons with such powerful firepower.

Where did they get it from?

There is absolutely no way this is a weapon they made themselves.

"Boom~"

Several explosions brought him back to reality. The firefight was still going on. The Japanese in the special forces team could only look for opportunities to fight back and then immediately retreat into the bunker.

"retreat!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Yamamoto Ikki came to his senses and knew that if he continued like this, the team he led and even himself would have to die here. Continuing to fight would only cause greater casualties and he would not gain any advantage at all.

After the order was given, the Japanese soldiers in the special forces team immediately coordinated with each other to retreat and attempted to take away the wounded, but their attempt was shattered by a new round of dense bullets.

Yamamoto had no choice but to abandon the wounded and retreat in small groups, taking turns to cover each other.

The disadvantageous battle situation did not disrupt the formation and positioning of the special forces team. Thanks to their day and night training, they retreated in an orderly manner.

Faced with the special forces team who were determined to retreat, Duan Peng did not dare to order a pursuit.

It was not difficult to see from his eyes that if they were to fight head-on, it would be hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker.

So he quickly asked Lin Qiang if he should give chase. Lin Qiang shook his head and said, "It's time to quit while we're ahead. If we continue to chase and suffer losses, we'll be the ones to suffer."

Duan Peng and other team members felt a little regretful watching Yamamoto's special forces team escape. This was the first time that the special forces team let the enemy escape and watched them escape.

Lin Qiang analyzed, "I'm sure you've noticed something different about this enemy team. We caught them off guard this time, so we have the upper hand. If we pursue them rashly, they'll launch a powerful counterattack within a mile, or even use the terrain to ambush us."

"They got away this time. We can only say they were lucky. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future. Next time..."

Duan Peng took over and said, "Next time we meet them, we will definitely wipe them out completely!"

After the battle, Lin Qiang did not hear the system prompt sound in his mind as expected, and he was not surprised by this.

In this ambush, a total of 34 Japanese soldiers from the special forces were killed, 25 submachine guns were seized, the remaining 9 were damaged in the battle, and 73 grenades were seized.

The special forces team suffered zero casualties, but the ammunition consumption was a bit high, and the team members only had half a magazine of bullets left.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, the team quickly evacuated. The battle did not last long, only about ten minutes.

The special forces quickly caught up with the large force retreating on foot. When they learned that they had repelled the Japanese pursuers, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lin Qiang ordered: "Continue to retreat, evacuate the enemy-occupied area as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"
