This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

Chapter 338 Shi Xiaodong's Shock

"200 meters... 100 meters... 80 meters... fight."

When the Japanese soldiers reached a position 50 meters away from Gao Qiang and his men's ambush, Gao Qiang immediately shouted and gave the order to fire.

"Da da da... da da da..."

At Gao Qiang's command, the submachine guns of the special forces soldiers spat out a dense hail of bullets, catching the Japanese soldiers in the lead squad off guard.

In the instant the gun fired, nearly 30 Japanese soldiers were shot down.

The remaining 20-odd Japanese soldiers were also driven to seek cover.

Upon reaching the edge of the valley, Oda Sumiki heard a burst of gunfire coming from the opposite side. Instead of being alarmed, he was delighted. He immediately raised his binoculars and looked towards the source of the gunfire.

The first thing that caught his eye was the Imperial soldiers who were unable to lift their heads due to the dense barrage of fire, but Oda's gaze did not linger there.

Instead, they turned their attention to the special forces soldiers who were unleashing a barrage of firepower.

By observing the muzzle flash of the submachine guns, Oda quickly discovered that there were only a few dozen people who had ambushed their Imperial soldiers, but all of them were using automatic weapons.

This put them in a state of temporary suppression.

Upon seeing this, Oda Sekiki immediately gave an order to the messenger beside him.

"Notify the artillery platoon to bombard the local positions."

"Hi."

The Japanese messenger immediately obeyed the order, but at that moment, the intense gunfire suddenly stopped.

This surprised Oda Sumiki. How long had the firefight lasted? It didn't even seem like a minute.

Thinking of this, Oda Sekiki raised his binoculars again to observe the location where the battle had taken place.

The Imperial squad that had been leading the charge was now completely wiped out.

The path leading to the valley entrance was littered with the corpses of Imperial soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Oda immediately looked toward the location of the group that had attacked him earlier.

The area had fallen silent, but soon Oda noticed that dozens of figures were running rapidly toward the woods on the right, more than 300 meters away from the ambush point.

Upon seeing this, Oda Sumitomo immediately cursed.

"Baka yarou, you cunning dragon people! Order the troops ahead to pursue them quickly!"

"Hi."

The Japanese messenger, who hadn't had time to leave yet, immediately ran towards the Japanese soldiers closest to the valley entrance after receiving Oda Sekiki's new order.

Meanwhile, Kawashima, the captain of the first squadron, couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up.

"Captain, I will personally lead the troops in pursuit."

Oda nods in agreement.

"Kawashita, this group is using a lot of automatic firepower, which is very likely weapons supplied by the Xiong Kingdom. I'll have the Second Squadron assist you in the pursuit. We absolutely cannot let a single enemy escape."

"Hi."

Even without Oda Sekiki's instructions, Kawashita Yasushi would not easily let go of the people who had attacked them earlier.

After all, the Japanese squad that was wiped out just now was composed of soldiers from his First Company.

"Captain, there are only about 300 Japanese soldiers chasing us. The rest are still in the valley."

A special operations soldier who had been observing the Japanese movements from the rear of the column quickened his pace and came to Gao Qiang's side to report.

Gao Qiang chuckled upon hearing this.

"This was expected. Besides, aren't 300-odd Japanese soldiers enough for you to fight?"

"What if the Japanese soldiers behind them head straight for the base on the mountain behind?"

Wang Yu, who was standing to the side, expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, as long as we inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese, their hatred will be firmly drawn to us."

Besides, we also have people on the left, and there are sniper squads lying in ambush all around.

Alright, we've arrived. Split up and prepare to give the Japanese a good beating.

Upon seeing the gesture made by the captain of the Seventh Squad waving at him from ahead, Gao Qiang immediately ended the conversation.

Upon hearing his captain's words, Shi Xiaodong instinctively began searching for Bai Luode's figure in the surroundings.

When he ambushed the Japanese squad earlier, the kid's marksmanship almost made his jaw drop.

Before the firefight, because he wanted to take care of the child, Shi Xiaodong focused some of his attention on Bai Luo.

The moment his captain gave the order to fire, Shi Xiaodong saw the submachine gun in the child's hand, which he had never seen before, spitting fire continuously.

Shi Xiaodong immediately looked in the direction the child was looking at the gun barrel.

All five Japanese soldiers within the firing range that the child was in charge of had their heads blown off and were lying on the ground.

Then the boy didn't stop. Instead, he did a tactical roll to the side and then, in a half-crouching position, pulled the trigger on the Japanese soldiers in his area of ​​responsibility.

When Shi Xiaodong came to his senses and looked at the battlefield again, he found that the battle was over.

He didn't even have time to fire a single shot before all 50-plus Japanese soldiers were dead.

Before he could even ask Bai Luo how many Japanese soldiers he had killed, Gao Qiang had already issued the order to retreat.

More than 40 special forces soldiers began to retreat quickly according to plan.

Shi Xiaodong searched around for a long time, but he couldn't find Bai Luo's small figure no matter what he did.

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the child hadn't followed?

Once the idea entered Shi Xiaodong's mind, he could no longer suppress it.

Then he realized that the Japanese soldiers were not far behind them, and if they fell behind now, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Thinking of this, Shi Xiaodong could no longer sit still. He immediately crawled to his captain's side and said anxiously.

"Captain, the child is missing. Could it be that he didn't follow us? I'll go look for him."

After saying this, Shi Xiaodong got up to go find Bai Luo.

"Squat down!"

Just as Shi Xiaodong was about to get up, he heard Gao Qiang's reprimand.

Although he didn't quite understand why Gao Qiang had given such an order not to let him go looking for the child, his body instinctively stopped moving.

Seeing that Shi Xiaodong had stopped getting up, Gao Qiang then explained.

“I saw that kid just now. He went to the left. Besides, didn’t you see his skills and marksmanship just now? Are you going to go find him to help him or to hinder him?”

"I.."

Upon hearing the captain's words, Shi Xiaodong instinctively wanted to refute them, as he had also joined the special forces team through a selection process involving multiple candidates.

But he had barely uttered a single word when Gao Qiang cut him off with his next words.

"You, what do you mean, you... When you can shoot 14 moving Japanese soldiers in a row in just over 10 seconds, then come and talk to me like that."

Shi Xiaodong fell silent upon hearing this, although he didn't know if the child had killed 14 people in that short time.

But he witnessed firsthand how quickly those five Japanese soldiers died.

There's a reason why Gao Qiang was able to notice the number of Japanese soldiers Bai Luo killed during the firefight.

Because Bai Luo also took away half of the Japanese soldiers in his shooting range.

Moreover, Bai Luode's fighting style is significantly different from that of their special forces members.

He could easily count how many the child had killed just by glancing at the battlefield.

Because of the submachine guns they were carrying, they were mostly aiming at the area above their abdomen.

If a Japanese soldier is shot, he will definitely have more than one bullet hole in his body.

The child, on the other hand, was shooting heads off every time; the backs of the heads of the Japanese soldiers he killed all seemed to have run away from home.

Therefore, when Gao Qiang ordered the retreat, he noticed that Bai Luo had broken away from the group but did not stop him.
