Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 265: Guerrilla Warfare in the Iron Forest
Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Sakura Army's Third Army arrived at the Iron Forest around noon.

"Headache!"

Looking at the forest in front of him, Tadayoshi Masao's face was filled with pain, and the three division commanders under him also looked unhappy.

The reconnaissance plane had scouted the movements outside the Iron Forest a few days in advance. There were a lot of enemies inside, but they were very scattered.

Due to the dense trees, even the reconnaissance planes could not detect much of the situation inside, and they had no idea how many enemies were inside or what kind of arrangements they had. But they were sure that the enemy was going to fight a jungle guerrilla war with them.

This is something no one wants to see. Jungle guerrilla warfare will greatly weaken their large troop cluster advantages and equipment advantages, and ninjas are extremely suitable for jungle guerrilla warfare.

It’s not that they can’t win, but it will greatly slow down their offensive speed and cause heavy casualties and logistical disruptions.

Tadayoshi Masao thought about it for a moment, and immediately ordered the commander of a division under him: "Matsushita Taro, send a battalion in to test the waters in an hour."

"Hi!" Masao Matsushita responded immediately and ran back to his division to prepare.

~~~
An hour later, Matsushita Masao made all the arrangements and immediately ordered an infantry battalion to enter the Iron Forest ahead.

After receiving the order, Sakurada Hanashita, who had been prepared, led his 1,200 men and carefully entered the Iron Forest under the cover of thirty armored vehicles.

After entering the Iron Forest, Sakurada Hanashita ordered two teams to form a group, each with an armored vehicle, and advance in a fan-shaped formation. One team has more than 50 people, and two teams have more than 100 people, and there are two armored vehicles.

He did not dare to elaborate further. After all, the concealment ability and attack power of a powerful ninja were very strong. A single team could easily be wiped out by a powerful ninja's sneak attack.
-
"Everyone, be careful. Ninjas are very good at hiding and setting traps. Pay more attention to your feet and the treetops to prevent sneak attacks!"

"Squads one and two should be alert in front, squads three and four should be alert on both sides, squads five and six should be alert to the surrounding trees, and squad seven should pay attention to the rear. Everyone should always pay attention to where they are stepping."

In the forest, a squad of Sakura soldiers were advancing slowly under the cover of two armored vehicles. The squad leader was shouting loudly beside the armored vehicles.

Under the reminder and command of the team leader, more than 90 Sakura soldiers advanced carefully, and with clear division of labor, they carefully guarded and observed all directions around them, including tree trunks and the ground.

"Here we come! Everyone get ready!"

In a cave in front of the team, a warrior was lying behind the bushes covering the cave entrance, watching from afar the soldiers from another world advancing towards them. He whispered to the ten people in the cave holding short bows and spears, then picked up the only gun among them and aimed at the Sakura Star soldiers advancing towards them a hundred meters away.

The warrior carefully aimed for a long time according to the three-point straight line he had learned in training, and then pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out in the forest, and a bullet shot out from the muzzle and passed through the gap in the bushes.

As the gunshots rang out, a soldier in the front row of the advancing Sakura Star soldiers suddenly had blood on his face and fell straight down.

"Enemy attack!"

Almost as soon as they heard the gunshots, the team of more than 90 soldiers either lay on the ground or hid behind armored vehicles, raising their guns and quickly searching the surrounding environment, especially the direction from which the gunshots came.

In the cave, the warrior who fired the gun quickly ejected the bullet after killing an enemy, raised his gun and continued to aim through the gaps in the bushes. After all, it was his first time to actually fire a gun, so being able to hit the target with one shot was already pretty good.

However, the soldiers of Sakura Star had either hidden behind the armored vehicles or were lying on the ground, which made it very difficult for him to aim. He did not dare to waste bullets, after all, their team of ten was only allocated five-method bullets, which were not as many as the detonating talismans allocated.

"over there!"

Soon, a Sakura Star soldier lying on the ground discovered a bush filled with a little white smoke. He shouted and pulled the trigger, firing continuously in three bursts.

"Da da da, da da da~~~"

As the automatic rifles fired, a series of bullets were fired at the bushes a hundred meters away. With the guidance of their teammates, the other Sakura Star soldiers quickly found the bushes, and five more people immediately started shooting at the bushes.

The armored vehicles also began to turn their machine gun turrets.

Some soldiers have even started preparing rifle grenades.

"Class Nine, go around!"

Under the command of the captain, there is a team of cherry blossom soldiers.
Bullets kept hitting the earthen wall of the cave entrance which was blocked by bushes. The warrior who was half-kneeling at the entrance and still aiming looked at the soil falling from above the entrance and continued to aim while suppressing the fear in his heart.

However, more bullets soon came in succession, causing the bushes and leaves to fly, the surrounding soil to splatter, and also bursting with bright red blood on his body.

The warrior immediately fell powerlessly at the entrance of the cave.

In the cave behind the samurai, the middle-aged man standing behind the samurai saw the samurai fall down, and immediately gritted his teeth and stepped forward, ready to pick up the rifle in the samurai's hand and continue.

During the week they followed the warriors, they were taught many times how to use the rifles in their hands. Although they had never fired live ammunition, they knew how to aim.

However, the bullets continued to fire. The middle-aged man had just crawled to the warrior's position when he was hit in the head by a bullet and immediately fell powerlessly at the entrance of the cave.

"I'll do it!" said another middle-aged man at the back of the line in the cave, and quickly crawled towards the warrior's body, or rather the rifle in the warrior's hand.

Although they had guns, they had never fought with them, nor had they ever fought against an enemy that used guns. Moreover, these middle-aged and elderly civilians had never even received samurai training. At this time, they were completely relying on their courage to die, but they lacked experience and were sending themselves to die in vain.

Just when the third person was about to pick up the gun, suddenly three black balls emitting white smoke fell into the bushes, and one even flew into the cave.

"What is this?" Looking at the thing rolling into the cave, doubts arose in the minds of the remaining people.

However, the next second, the black ball emitting white smoke exploded directly, exposing the entrance to the cave.

But this was not the end, the Sakura soldiers in the distance were still suppressing the cave with fire. They even fired two rifle grenades at the cave again, but they failed to penetrate the cave.

Under their cover, the Sakura soldiers who came around from the side quickly arrived twenty meters in front of the cave, and immediately threw several grenades and flash bombs into the cave.

In the explosion and flash, the survivors in the cave were stunned by the explosion and blinded by the flash.

The Sakura soldier who came around made a gesture in the direction of the team, and the attack of the distant team stopped immediately.

The Sakura Soldiers Squad 9, which had gone around, had six people stay in place to continue attacking the cave entrance to suppress the fire, while they sent three people to quickly rush to the cave entrance.

When the three men arrived at the cave entrance, the suppressing fire stopped. Two of the three Sakura soldiers immediately fired at the cave with automatic rifles, while the other provided cover.

After the two men finished shooting and replaced bullets, the three carefully entered the cave.

The people in the cave were all killed by the explosion of multiple rifle grenades and hand grenades, and dozens of bullets.

"It's a rifle!"

A Sakura soldier picked up the rifle at the entrance of the cave with a serious expression.

Fighting ninjas in the jungle is already a headache, but the ninjas' attack range is limited after all. Now add a rifle to the mix~ the risk factor rises sharply.

After all, with the ninja's physical fitness and dynamic vision, not everyone is a sharpshooter, but they are definitely not much worse than these soldiers who have received long-term modern training.
