Chapter 330 Sentinel
Ma Ergang is from Majiaguai Village outside Jiuzhaigou. He is currently the deputy squad leader of the reconnaissance company of the Jiuzhai Security Group. The squad leader is his brother Ma Dagang.
Ma Ergang was one of the secret sentries placed by the security group at the outermost edge of the camp. He was hiding in a single soldier pit, and his head was covered with wheat seedlings as a camouflage.
A few meters away from him is another hidden sentry post. The two sentry posts can see each other and can each monitor the enemy's situation from an angle.
Not far away from them was the dirt road leading in and out of the camp. The ruts on the dirt road were very obvious, and they were pressed out tonight. Their mission was to monitor the safety of this dirt road and provide warning for the safety of the camp.
Those who can enter the guard company are all talented. Although they are not the best, they are still better than the infantry of other companies! Where did the best go? The special operations reconnaissance company!
Ma Ergang is only 23 years old this year, but he has ten years of hunting experience! He has been hunting in the mountains with his father Ma Baoshan and his brother Ma Dagang since he was 13 years old!
Therefore, he is in charge of this sentry post one kilometer away from the camp!
"The sentinels are the eyes and ears of our regiment. They control the lives and safety of the thousands of brothers in our regiment! Therefore, we must be cautious and careful, and must not be careless!"
"Our place is a war zone, and the Japs might come for a sneak attack at night. So, Er Gang, the safety of our regiment depends on you! Use the energy you used to wait for your prey when you were hunting, and don't let anyone get close to you.
Unaware!”
Thinking of the platoon leader's words, Ma Ergang immediately opened his eyes wide and held his breath, sensing all the movements around him.
After about a few minutes, Ma Ergang didn't feel anything wrong, so he took out a piece of Cogongrass root from his pocket, stuffed it into the innermost part, and started chewing it.
The unique sweet smell of Imperata cogongrass root immediately fills the entire mouth, and people become more energetic.
"Boom...boom..." Vaguely, Ma Er just heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and his rifle instinctively felt that danger was coming.
Relying on the hunter's intuition, Ma Er just knew that an enemy was coming, but he didn't know their identity and number.
"Swish..." Ma Ergang gently tugged on a rope on the side, which was connected to the sentry in another sentry post.
Feeling the tug that would come back, Ma Er was relieved and knew that his comrades were also alert.
Gently spitting out the grass roots in his mouth, Ma Ergang held his breath again and quietly looked in the direction of the dirt road. Because the sound of footsteps was louder, coming from that side.
"Who are these? Japs? Or bandits?" You can't tell how many people there are by looking at their footsteps, but you can't see far with the naked eye. You can only see the aperture of a flashlight dangling on the road.
"Pfft, Baga!" A Japanese soldier who was walking on the road suddenly lost his footing and fell forward, and he naturally cursed.
"Japanese devils!" Ma Ergang felt that his hair stood on end when he heard the devil's curse words.
The trap where the Japanese fell just now was set up by Ma Ergang. It was on the dirt road. He was guarding against the night attackers. Because most people will complain or curse when they step into a trap and get knocked down! And!
What he said at this time was the person’s purest hometown dialect.
For example, a kid would say Baga, a Shandong person would say my mother is here, a Shanxi person would say Japan and you are my ancestors, and later people would say oh my god...
"What should I do?" Ma Ergang's palms began to sweat.
He is a sentry, so he naturally wants to warn the camp! But what happens after the warning? He is also exposed! Faced with so many little devils, the possibility of survival is basically zero!
But you can't let the Japanese go without warning! Not to mention anything else, there are still my eldest brother and many soldiers from Jiuzhaigou in the camp, and the regiment leader is also there!
So, after hesitating for half a second, Ma Ergang made a decision.
He first tugged on the rope on the side, twice in total. This was the secret signal he had agreed with the sentry on the side. That is, I will stay while you take the opportunity to retreat to the camp.
Sensing the response from the other side, Ma Er just let go of the rope and began to take out his grenades and unscrew the caps one by one. He also looked at his submachine gun by the way.
After doing this, the little devil on the road also walked to the dirt road closest to Ma Ergang.
Because he had tripped just now, the little devil also heightened his vigilance. He walked slowly with eyes and ears in all directions, and even turned off the flashlight.
"Now!"
He couldn't see how many Japs there were on the dirt road, but he could clearly hear where they were. So Ma Ergang retracted his whole body into the single soldier's pit without hesitation, and took the other one that he had already held in his hand.
The rope was tugged.
"Boom...boom...boom boom boom..."
This rope was naturally the pulling rope of the mines buried on both sides of the road. After being pulled, a string of scorpion mines were detonated, blocking the dirt road for tens of meters from front to back.
In the dark night, the fire produced by this series of explosions was extremely bright, and the sound of the explosions could be heard far away in the camp.
"So many Japanese soldiers?" With the help of the afterglow of the explosion, Ma Ergang saw the dirt road full of Japanese soldiers, which shocked him.
Now that the mine had been activated, Ma Ergang didn't mind getting something else! So he pulled and threw seven grenades, aiming directly at the Japanese marching column.
The little devil was stunned by a sudden mine explosion, and then was knocked down by a series of grenade explosions. The explosive power of the Jiuzhai military steel ball fragmentation grenade is still very powerful!
"Xiaowu, run quickly, go back and report to the regiment leader!" Ma Ergang shouted to Guo Xiaowu over there while the grenade exploded.
"Yes!" came Guo Xiaowu's reply.
"Little devil, come on!" As soon as Ma Er stepped onto the shooting position on the edge of the single soldier pit, the Hu submachine gun in his hand started firing.
"Da da da, da da da..." Relying on the impression of seeing the Japanese during the explosion just now, Ma Ercong pulled the trigger towards the place in his memory.
"Ah...ah...Baga!"
The bullets from the submachine gun flew towards the pile of Japs with the light. Amidst the wails of wounded Japs all over the ground, the bullets in one magazine were exhausted, and three or four unlucky Japs were knocked to the ground.
"Pahoo... Ce Ce Ce..." The little devil's counterattack came very quickly, and the bullets from the 38 big cover and the crooked handle instantly covered the individual soldier's pit where Ma Ergang was.
"Brother Ergang..." Young Guo Xiaowu was crying as he ran. Just now, he jumped out of his personal pit before the Japanese had time to counterattack, and ran quickly towards the camp.
"The Japs are coming, wake up, the Japs are coming..." Guo Xiaowu shouted when he passed the hidden whistle in his memory, and he kept shouting all the way to the entrance of the camp.
