Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 589 Trapped in Black Mountain

Monk Wei looked at the soldier's strange expression and felt anxious and annoyed.

"What's this? You told me that you were fluent in Japanese, so I let you join the 201st Airborne Regiment. Now don't say you don't know it!"

The soldier showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Commander, it's not that I don't recognize it. Although I know the words on it, I'm not sure what it means. If we rashly send this word to the Chief of Staff, will we be scolded?"

Monk Wei could also consider that although they found a box containing secret weapons, they did not know what weapons were inside.

If he made a mistake in typing due to shaking hands and then sent back a messed up name, would it cause confusion to the chief of staff's judgment? That would be troublesome!

"Can you tell me what this is?"

"Type 4 anti-tank mine!"

Monk Wei murmured to himself:

"Type 4 anti-tank mine? I know these words, but when they are put together, I have no idea what they mean."

Monk Wei once again handed the piece of paper he had traced to the soldier who entered the cave with him, and poked it.

"Can you help me check if I drew it wrong?"

The soldier took the piece of paper as if he was carrying a heavy responsibility, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that it looked and didn't look like it.

"It should be, maybe, it could be like this?"

Monk Wei glanced at him helplessly, then stuffed the piece of paper into his underwear.

"Just send this name to the Chief of Staff, and explain our source of intelligence, and have them carefully examine it! Quick!"

After Monk Wei finished speaking, he immediately sent a telegram to complain. The other soldiers gathered on the side and stared at the Japanese soldiers who were gradually searching towards them.

Two minutes later, the operator sent the telegram with sweat all over his forehead. It was successfully copied, and then he turned off the radio and put it on his back.

"That's it!"

"withdraw!"

At this time, the Japanese soldiers were less than 50 meters away from Wei Heshang and others, and they could even see the red star above their heads.

"Boom!"

The Japanese bullets shot over, making the leaves above Monk Wei's head rustle.

"Da da da!"

Wei Heshang and others fired wildly backwards, knocking down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. The remaining Japanese soldiers were suppressed and could not raise their heads.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Monk Wei took the lead and the squad leader followed behind, and they retreated quickly.

Monk Wei thought that he could avoid the Japanese pursuit by advancing westward, but he never expected that the Japanese had deployed heavy troops in the Yanshan Mountains, and in front of them, a squadron of Japanese had already surrounded them.

In order to avoid being wiped out by the Japanese, Wei Heshang's team took the initiative to distance themselves from each other, with each soldier standing five meters apart.

The squad leader at the end of the squad retreated while firing behind him. The Japanese were afraid of the consequences and slowed down.

Monk Wei was looking at the compass to determine the direction when he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye what seemed to be a head shaking in front of him.

He dived down subconsciously, and at the same time, the sound of gunfire like popping beans was heard in the distance.

Things change over time. Monk Wei never expected that their team would be beaten so badly by the Japanese that they could not even raise their heads.

"Damn it, battle formation!"

The sniper team quickly found a large tree as thick as a washbasin as cover and set up a sniper rifle position.

The other soldiers immediately formed three-person combat teams and advanced forward.

The branches are dense, which greatly limits the use of grenades. If you are not careful, the thrown grenades will be shot back by the branch bullets.

Both sides can only use rifles to attack each other, and the generation gap in weapons between the enemy and us has been narrowed.

The team formed several combat teams and pushed forward. With the help of sniper rifles, although it was difficult, they gradually opened up a gap.

"retreat!"

The sniper team immediately picked up their sniper rifles and rushed out through the opened gap.

Monk Wei and his companions fought and retreated, and finally arrived at a small hill called Black Mountain.

Monk Wei watched it gradually fall, then raised his hand and said:

"Rest here, we'll set off in fifteen minutes! Squad leader, come here!"

Monk Wei unfolded the map and reached out to feel for the compass without even looking up, but couldn't find it for a moment.

"Compass! Quick!"

Monk Wei waited for half a minute before the squad leader slowly handed him the compass.

At this moment, time is of the essence, and Monk Wei snatched the compass away with dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? Slow down!"

"Hey... hey, we are indeed a little slow! Brigade Commander, you lead the soldiers to retreat first, and I will cover your retreat!"

"What bullshit! With me here, when will it be your turn to cover the rear?"

"Well, I can't leave."

Monk Wei's hand trembled, then he looked up and saw a bright red spot on the squad leader's stomach.

"Fuck, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

The squad leader forced a half smile on his pale face.

"The Japanese's Type 38 rifle has strong penetrating power. It didn't stay in the stomach, but made a small hole. But I'm afraid it can't escape!"

Monk Wei threw the map away and grabbed the squad leader's body.

"Has it been dealt with?"

"Hey, I've taken care of it. I'm a model soldier trained by our medical team, so I know a little bit about battlefield first aid."

"Deputy monitor, come here!"

The deputy squad leader came running over and was shocked to see the blood on the squad leader's body. Before he could speak, Wang Meng said:

"From now on, the squad leader is in your hands. You must ensure his safety. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

The deputy monitor saluted and helped the monitor to sit down.

Monk Wei's brain was working rapidly. He knew he couldn't leave now. His only chance was to find a place to hide and wait for the Japanese to disperse before finding another chance to escape!

"Spread out and find a cave to hide in!"

The soldiers dispersed, and Monk Wei continued to study the map and found that they were only five miles away from the road.

As long as the Japanese were dispersed, they would still have a chance to escape if they found the right opportunity.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers gradually came back to report that one of the soldiers heading north had found a cave of about 50 square meters.

"go!"

Monk Wei supported the stubborn squad leader and began to evacuate towards the cave.

When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Monk Wei ordered the sniper team to occupy the heights of Black Mountain and act as observation posts.

Then two more soldiers were sent out to serve as secret sentries at a distance of 500 meters in front and behind.

Except for the injured squad leader and radio operator, other soldiers hid at the entrance of the cave, ready to use it as a base to kill the Japanese at any time.

"Sender, report our situation to the Chief of Staff immediately! And express your confidence. We will definitely find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement!"

After Monk Wei finished speaking, he began to treat the squad leader's wound.

The monitor bared his teeth and whispered:

"Brigade Commander, give me ten grenades and a rifle. I will stay here to attract the enemy's firepower, and you retreat!"

"Just lie down and stop talking nonsense! You still want to be a hero when I'm here?"
