The pouring rain perfectly covered up most of the sounds in the jungle, and at the same time, it also made the sight more and more blocked, and made walking on the already muddy ground even more difficult.

However, this heavy rain also has its benefits. At least Wei Ran feels that his upper body is cleaner. Another benefit is that it naturally provides a natural cover for the team with only 6 people left.

Under this absolutely uncomfortable rain curtain, the three-person machine gun team headed by the deputy squad leader and the three-person submachine gun team of Wei Ran, Hugo and Valoro covered each other, and followed the drifting wind little by little.

The nauseating smell of meat looks for traces of the enemy.

Soon, they saw piles of bonfires being lit under some lush banyan trees in the rain. Around these bonfires, there were still many people sitting indistinctly. The smell of fireworks and the smell of meat were...

Drifting from those campfires.

After some estimation, the six people who were divided into two groups felt their hearts sinking. There were at least a hundred or ten people here, which was almost the number of two full infantry squads.

It was obvious that it was impossible for the six of them alone to resist those demons that were eating human flesh.

"How could there be such a man-eating demon in this world?" Hugo put down his telescope and muttered to himself.

Wei Ran, who was also hiding under the palm tree, shook his head slightly and reminded in a low voice, "Although these people don't seem to be in good condition, they are well equipped with weapons and equipment. Especially the fourth bonfire on the right.

, there seems to be a mountain cannon there."

“Very close to the Kokoda Trail”

"We need to ask for help," Hugo said looking at Wei Ran.

"Let Valoro and the vice-captain go."

Seeing that the other party seemed ready to let him go, Wei Ran immediately recommended a better candidate, "You know, I used to be a machine gunner, and I can replace the deputy squad leader's work in the machine gun team."

"That's fine." Hugo nodded and braved the rain to carefully touch the edge of the machine gun group not far away.

Soon, the deputy squad leader and Valoro left the hiding spot quietly. Wei Ran also took the two machine gunners back slightly for more than ten meters, found a relatively high position, and hid on both sides.

Behind the plantains, trenches were dug in the rain with all kinds of things at hand.

Hugo, on the other hand, stayed there alone, hiding himself and continuing to observe the enemies.

Almost as soon as the heavy rain began to subside, Wei Ran and the two machine gunners dug out a trench that was barely big enough for three people to squat in. By the way, they also learned from whispers that one of the two soldiers was from Sydney.

, one from Canberra.

Not daring to rest at all, the three people hurriedly covered the trench with palm leaves and banana leaves cut from the surroundings, and then began to use lunch boxes or steel helmets to scoop out the rainwater accumulated inside bit by bit.

They dug out the mud and carried it to the distant grass with a backpack.

Before the rain stopped, the deputy squad leader ran back with two riflemen who were supposed to carry Brody, the war correspondent.

According to his explanation, he and Valoro caught up with the four riflemen who were taking Brody to hide from the rain halfway. After some discussion, he came back with two riflemen to support Hugo, Wei Ran and others.

, one of the other two riflemen guarded Brody and continued to hide from the rain, while the other followed Valoro back to ask for help.

After this explanation, the deputy squad leader took over Wei Ran's job and returned to the machine gun team he was responsible for. The two infantrymen who came with him also carefully touched the shivering Hugo under the leadership of Wei Ran.

He hid beside him.

As the rain gradually stopped, Wei Ran, who was hiding behind a big tree, could see more clearly that the situation of the Japanese around the bonfire seemed not to be good.

From time to time, the Japanese would leave the campfire, hold their stomachs and run into the distance and start scurrying away. It was obvious that they were also suffering from dysentery and diarrhea.

Wei Ran subconsciously looked at his crotch, and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he took some medicine before the heavy rain, and his condition was better, at least not like the uncontrollable thinning before.

However, although his intestines felt better, his forehead was still hot, and his limbs and torso were extremely cold because of the heavy rain. He knew that it would not be long before his body collapsed.

After retreating behind the big tree where he was hiding, Wei Ran took off his clothes, wrung them out and put them on again, then wrapped them in two banana leaves, curling up as much as possible to avoid losing body temperature too quickly.

In the midst of this increasing torment, as time passed by, the sky above our heads gradually cleared up and the sun emerged, and the rainforest where people were shivering from the cold just now became extremely hot in the blink of an eye, as if they had been thrown into a steamer.

Gradually, the sun above his head also began to shift to the west. Just when Wei Ran took out the kettle and threw another sulfathiazole for treating dysentery into his mouth, and was about to send it down with water, when something in the distance did not appear.

Without warning, I remembered the sound of Bren machine gun firing!

Wei Ran, who almost choked, dropped the water bottle in his hand and spit out the water he had just drank and the pill he had not yet swallowed. He picked up the submachine gun at hand and stuck his head out.

After such a short period of time, machine gun fire also came from the other direction. The Japanese who were hiding under the banyan tree around the campfire also lay down like weeds being cleared by a lawnmower. Followed by

Later, the machine gun team led by the deputy squad leader also began suppressive shooting.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately raised his submachine gun, aimed at a few Japs who were about to run in the direction of the mountain cannon, and pulled the trigger.

Almost at the same time, Hugo and others who had been waiting for a long time in the distance opened fire one after another, using their submachine guns to shoot at the panicked Japanese looking for cover.

Before a magazine was finished, these Japs also started to fight back. At the same time as they started to fight back, the machine gun team in charge of the deputy squad leader was the first to misfire!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Quickly looking at the direction of the machine gun team, Wei Ran suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued to shoot the emerging enemies.

"Ding! Boom!"

Just when Wei Ran emptied a magazine, he clearly heard the sound of the grenade being fired and the explosion that followed. Immediately afterwards, the trunk of the big tree where he was hiding was also hit by a bullet.

The bullet from an unknown source left a scar as big as a bowl.

At this moment, the machine gun team in charge of the deputy squad leader started shooting again after a brief stagnation. The Japanese who just fired the grenade with a grenade was also beaten into a ball of blood mist.

But immediately after, the machine gun group once again fired a dense barrage.

Knowing that the situation of the machine gun team might not be good, Wei Ran changed the magazine of the submachine gun and immediately supported his weak body and rushed over under the cover of the surrounding vegetation.

He didn't have to take such a risk, but he knew that once one less machine gun firepower point was lost, there would be less suppression. Once those Japs took the opportunity to activate the mountain cannon, not only those around who launched the surprise attack would not be able to survive.

, those of them who are relatively closest to the enemy will definitely die, the first batch to die!

Being chased by several bullets fired at intervals, Wei Ran jumped into the trench of the machine gun team, but his heart sank. In such a short time, the deputy squad leader whose name he still did not know and the two machine gunners from Sydney and Canberra were

The gunmen have all been shot.

Among the three people, the deputy squad leader who was the least injured had his right eye socket torn open by a bullet, and most of his blown eyeballs were hanging outside the sockets. But the two soldiers had been hit on the bridge of the nose and head respectively.

Damn, I've stopped breathing at this point.

"do not move"

Wei Ran held down the deputy squad leader and gave him a shot of morphine as quickly as possible. Then he dragged the Bren machine gun into the trench, checked it and replaced it with a new magazine.

"Listen to me Victor"

The deputy squad leader grabbed Wei Ran and said, "Snipers, their snipers are hiding in the crown of the banyan tree, just to the right of the artillery."

"I'll fix it"

Wei Ran responded quickly. At this time, he didn't even care about treating the deputy squad leader's wounds. He picked up the canvas bag containing all the machine gun magazines in the team and threw it on his shoulder, then raised an eyebrow.

The bodies of his comrades who had been shot were poking upwards from the trench.

In the gunfire that was covered up by the crossfire, the skull of the young corpse from Sydney was pierced by bullets. Wei Ran immediately left the place with the Bren machine gun, changing his route irregularly, and finally hid in

Behind a big tree.

Holding the Bren machine gun in one hand and carrying the ammunition bag in the other, Wei Ran crawled away from the place under the cover of the bushes. He immediately found a stone covered by the bushes, set up the machine gun and pointed it at the door that was already occupied.

The mountain cannon began to adjust its direction.

Slowly moving the muzzle, Wei Ran aimed at the crown of the banyan tree on the right side of the mountain cannon and pulled the trigger.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

Amidst the rapid gunfire, Wei Ran fired short bursts again and again. Soon, he vaguely saw a figure jumping down from the tree.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

Wei Ran chased the opponent and fired four consecutive bursts until the figure running among the banyan trees fell to the ground and seemed to have thrown all the weapons in his hand. He then changed the venue with the machine gun.

Before he could find his position again, the mountain cannon finally fired with a "boom". With this bombardment, a machine gun position in the distance that had been strafing also died down, and the mountain cannon was also guarding

Before firing, Ran turned around and aimed at the position where he had just opened fire.

"boom!"

Just when the mountain cannon fired a shell at the position where he had just fired, Wei Ran, who had been waiting for a long time, pulled the trigger again, aimed at the two groups who were using grenade launchers, and started strafing.

Wei Ran emptied the magazine as quickly as possible. Wei Ran didn't even have time to glance at the Japanese who were swept away, let alone replace the magazine. He immediately left the place with the gun as quickly as possible and flew into a pool of water.

among.

"Wow!"

In the splashing water, a direct-aimed artillery shell also hit the position where the Weiran had just opened fire. It exploded the surrounding bushes with a "bang" and shattered the palm tree.

"Pooh!"

Wei Ran wiped his face, lay on his back in the puddle and changed the magazine first, then rolled to the side and placed the Bren in his hand, which had been cooled by the puddle, in an unobstructed position.

On the grass, he aimed at the gun mantlet and pulled the trigger!

"Da da da!"

After a short strafing session, Wei Ran immediately rolled and hid behind a tree as the artillery began to rotate and fire. Then he ran to the side carrying the leaking ammunition bag and machine gun, and in the sound of gunfire

Before the sound, he swooped into a puddle again.

There is no doubt that he is luring the Japs' only artillery to fire at him. Only if that artillery keeps firing at him and keeps turning can it create opportunities for more people!

However, when he pointed the still leaking Bren machine gun at the artillery again, he suddenly saw an explosion behind the artillery!

"boom!"

Just when the sound of the explosion reached his ears, he also saw that Hugo, Valoro and the two riflemen had reached a position less than 40 meters away from the mountain gate, and were swung round at this time.

Arm, you and I are throwing grenades in the direction of the artillery one by one!

grass!

Wei Ran's heart sank, he no longer bothered to curse these reckless men, he aimed at the Japs rushing toward their hiding spot and pulled the trigger!

Under his cover, grenades exploded one after another around the artillery. From the beginning to the end, no Japanese could get past the hiding place where Hugo and others were hiding.

The other two machine gun positions that resumed firing, after the artillery became ineffective, successively enveloped the remaining grenade group and the opponent's machine gun point.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Finally, the Japs in this dense forest launched another charge. In the surrounding jungle, people also ran out, either carrying submachine guns or carrying weapons.

Australian soldiers with rifles!
