Chapter 474 Breakthrough Exposed
"puff."
With a barely perceptible gunshot, Bai Luo's VSS sniper rifle trembled slightly, and a 9x39mm subsonic bullet was quickly fired from the muzzle.
In less than two seconds, the bullet traveled over 300 meters and accurately pierced the head of the Japanese sentry who was preparing to ambush Zheng Xian.
They directly churned the brains of that Japanese spy into a pulp.
The moment the Japanese sentry was shot, he felt as if his temple had been struck by a heavy hammer, and then he collapsed into the dry grass, motionless.
He passed away peacefully.
The crimson blood splattered from the bullets also stained the withered grass around the Japanese sentry's body red.
At the same time, the Type 38 rifle that the Japanese sentry was holding halfway lost its support and fell to the ground.
It made a dull "thud" as it landed.
Although the sound was not loud, it was no less than a thunderclap in the silent woods.
For Zheng Xian and his group not far away, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Upon hearing the sound of the Type 38 rifle hitting the ground, Zheng Xian and his group of nine men, like startled rabbits, all pointed their guns at the Japanese sentries.
"Captain, there seems to be someone in the withered grass over there?"
With her keen eyesight, Xiao Yu looked toward the source of the noise and immediately saw what appeared to be a person's arm sticking out of the dry grass. She quickly released the safety of her raised pistol and aimed at the dry grass where the Japanese sentry was hiding.
At the same time, she tilted her head slightly and whispered to Zheng Xian beside her, her tone revealing a hint of nervousness that Xiao Yu herself did not realize.
"I see it, don't fire yet. Be on guard! I'll go check it out."
At that moment, Zheng Xian also saw the arm sticking out from the withered grass.
However, compared to Xiao Yu, he even saw dark marks on the withered grass that looked like they had been soaked by a large amount of liquid, and some of the withered grass was dripping liquid onto the ground.
Having experienced life and death over the years, Zheng Xian immediately recognized the dripping liquid as human blood the moment he saw it.
This is also why Zheng Xian stopped Xiao Yu and the others from firing their guns.
Upon hearing Zheng Xian's order, Li Qi and the others quickly dispersed, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
After giving the order, Zheng Xian crouched down and went to the edge of the withered grass.
The next moment, the Japanese sentry with a hole punched in his head by Bai Luo appeared in front of Zheng Xian.
Upon seeing that it was a Japanese soldier's corpse, Zheng Xian was startled and quickly raised his gun to survey his surroundings.
After confirming that there were no more Japanese soldiers around, he put away his pistol, squatted down, and began to examine the Japanese corpse in front of him.
The Japanese soldier had clearly just died; this was the judgment Zheng Xian made in his mind the moment he saw the Japanese soldier.
Then Zheng began to examine the location of the wounds on the Japanese soldier's body.
They discovered that the Japanese soldier's head had been blown off by a gun.
Zheng was taken aback at first, as he hadn't heard any gunshots.
Wait, there were no gunshots! But the Japanese soldiers are dead!
As if he had just thought of something, Zheng Xian's face instantly lit up with surprise.
He immediately looked down at the wounded Japanese soldier, and then, following the direction of the wound, began to deduce the location from which the bullet had come.
Soon, Zheng Xian noticed that there seemed to be a small light flashing on the treetop more than 300 meters away.
However, because of the distance, some parts were not clear.
"Li Qi, Li Qi, quickly give me the binoculars."
Although Zheng Xian's voice was very low, he couldn't hide his excitement and waved to Li Qi, who was dozens of meters away.
Li Qi, who was hiding behind a tree a few dozen meters away, also heard Zheng Xian's voice.
In particular, anyone could hear the excitement and surprise in Zheng Xian's tone.
Li Qi was a little curious. He and his men were surrounded by the Japanese soldiers, and he didn't know why his captain was suddenly so agitated.
Does the captain have a way to break through?
Thinking of this, Li Qi didn't dare to delay. He quickly leaned on the big tree next to him, stood up with a limp, and jogged towards Zheng Xian's direction.
"Brother Zheng, here you go."
Upon reaching Zheng Xian's side, Li Qi quickly handed over the binoculars he was holding.
At the same time, their eyes, filled with intense curiosity, looked at Zheng Xian, whose face was clearly unusually excited.
He was really curious about what the captain had seen that made him so excited.
To Li Qi's disappointment, Zheng Xian did not offer any explanation.
Zheng Xian indeed didn't have time to explain to Li Qi right now, and he wasn't sure if the person who had helped him earlier was Bai Luo.
The most important thing right now is to confirm whether the person who came is Bai Luo.
So after taking the binoculars from Li Qi, Zheng Xian didn't say a word and immediately looked at the spot where the flashlight had been.
Although the light was not very good at night, Zheng Xian still saw a figure crouching on a tree branch.
Almost the instant he saw the figure, Zheng Xian recognized the person.
He couldn't help but whisper excitedly.
"Holy crap, it really is Xiao Luo. We're saved now."
Upon hearing Zheng Xian's words, Li Qi, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and immediately moved closer to Zheng Xian, following Zheng Xian's gaze into the distance.
He couldn't quite contain his excitement as he shouted.
"Where? Where? Where is Xiao Luo?!"
But after shouting those words, Li Qi knew he was in trouble.
He quickly covered his mouth.
Zheng Xian, standing beside Li Qi, was also stunned by Li Qi's actions. He turned his head blankly to look at Li Qi, who was lying next to him.
He looked at Li Qi with an incredulous expression.
Xiao Yu and the others behind them stared wide-eyed at Li Qi and Zheng Xian.
"Who goes there? Someone's approaching! Enemy attack!!!"
The next moment, a warning sound came from the Japanese defensive position more than 100 meters away.
Then, a piercing alarm whistle rang out from the Japanese positions.
Hearing the warning whistle ahead, Li Qi was so ashamed of his own stupidity that he looked at Zheng Xian beside him with a guilty expression.
"Well, let's break through before the Japanese completely discover our exact location."
Zheng Xian looked at Li Qi, who had a guilty expression, but ultimately didn't say anything to blame him. It was too late to say anything now.
Now that we've been exposed, we have no choice but to break through by force.
However, compared to before, Zheng Xian is now confident that he can break through.
After all, there is support now.
Bai Luo, who was behind the Japanese defensive perimeter, was also somewhat speechless.
He was somewhat surprised that Zheng Xian looked up and searched for his location based solely on the corpse of a Japanese soldier he had killed.
When Bai Luo saw Zheng Xian's movements through the scope, he immediately took out a small flashlight, turned the beam to its weakest setting, and shone it at Zheng Xian.
Upon seeing that Zheng Xian had discovered his location, Bai Luo became excited and immediately tried to send a light message to Zheng Xian.
Give them directions on how to break out.
But the next moment, Li Qi's shout left Bai Luo completely bewildered.
However, since the situation had already been exposed, Bai Luo had no choice but to give the Japanese a hard time in order to save money.
