Yamamoto later found out about Shadow. This middle-aged guy had retired from the most brutal frontline battlefield.
It is said that one time the corpses of the combatants on both sides piled up in mountains, and they almost died together. In the end, only one extremely tenacious guy crawled out of the pile of dead people and survived. He was the shadow with a broken ring finger on his right hand.
It is said that his ring finger was broken during a confrontation with a top sniper. Of course, Shadow paid the price of a ring finger, while his opponent paid the life of his opponent.
Later, the imperial military gave Shadow a medal and stated that he was old enough to retire. After retiring, the military even rewarded Shadow with a lot of property.
But this guy is used to the thrill of dancing on a tightrope between life and death, and has long been unwilling to settle for the ordinary.
After squandering his huge wealth on prostitutes in less than a month, Shadow returned to the army carrying the sniper rifle that had followed him for many years.
Then he joined the Yamamoto Secret Service.
Because of his resume, Shadow has a detached status in Yamamoto's special agent team. He almost doesn't take anyone seriously except Captain Yamamoto Kazuki.
And no one in the entire Yamamoto Secret Service dared to look down upon this middle-aged man who was missing a ring finger on his right hand and was silent.
Large clouds were blown away, covering the moon that was not bright in the first place, and the night became darker and darker...
After several times of sneaking in secret, Shadow has arrived at what he considers to be an excellent sniper spot. The view there is excellent, and the outline of the entire front of Yang Village can be seen through the scope, including the direction of the cliff.
It was the most ordinary Chinese rural area. Most of the villages were made of earthen huts and thatched cottages. They were simple and backward villages with no lights at all, and everything was completely silent.
Quietly, the lurking shadow saw the figure of captain Kazuki Yamamoto and others. The first combat team had successfully climbed the cliff and would be able to reach the top soon.
His gun was wrapped in a wrapping cloth, wrapping the entire gun body tightly so that no flaw was exposed. This was to prevent the gun itself from reflecting at night and arousing alertness to the other party.
It is precisely because of this caution that he once took off the head of a top opponent at the cost of just one ring finger.
At this moment, even in the barren land of the Republic of China, even if he faced an opponent who was extremely short of ammunition, he did not relax any vigilance.
gun.
It is a Type 97 sniper rifle designed and produced by the Empire of Japan in the 12th year of Showa.
Developed on the basis of the Type 38 rifle, the structure is the same as the Type 38 rifle, but the barrel is lengthened and thickened, and a 4x scope is installed.
The bullet is a special 6.5×50mm reduced-charge bullet. It completes the entire burning process in the barrel of the gun. The bullet produces almost no smoke when it flies out of the muzzle. The sound of the gun is also greatly weakened, which can extremely Good to avoid sniper exposure.
With this kind of special bullets, superb sniper skills, and determination to die, Shadow once quietly killed two enemy artillery squadrons on the most brutal battlefields without being noticed at all.
But at this moment, for some reason, while looking at the simple village, which was obviously completely silent, Shadow always felt that something was not right.
He even had a faint feeling of suffocation. He was no stranger to this feeling. He had experienced this feeling when his head was aimed at by a top sniper. He called it a "miraculous" intuition.
Out of his usual caution, Shadow chose to trust his instincts. He saw through the quadruple scope that the captain's first rock climbing team was about to approach the top of the cliff.
His sniper sight left the cliff and slowly wandered around.
The night is dark, and Shadow cannot guarantee that he can clearly detect the surrounding area, but he has a skill. Even in the dimmest moonlight, as long as there is still a little light, and as long as the opponent's gun is not wrapped in a wrap, he can You can see the faint light reflected from the gun itself.
soon,
Saw!
The barrel of the gun reflecting the light came unexpectedly, and Shadow's pupils shrank, then quickly returned to calm.
He was sure that he saw it correctly. It was indeed a gun barrel. Only a metal gun barrel could reflect such a special faint light under such moonlight.
But the stakes were high. The most important thing for the special agent team to carry out the beheading operation was concealment. The sound of gunshots would expose them, and the entire operation had to be declared a failure.
Shadow concentrated and continued to lock his gaze on the barrel of the gun.
He quickly made a judgment. It was definitely a gun barrel. Judging from the diameter, it was definitely a baggage weapon. Could it be a heavy machine gun?
Thinking of this, Shadow no longer dared to hesitate. The beheading operation was indeed important, but if the special agent team was ambushed and destroyed, the beheading operation would be meaningless.
boom--
There is no other way to communicate between Shadow and Yamamoto. This is the fastest message that Shadow can transmit.
It is a unique sound of the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle.
Instantly breaking the dead silence of the night outside Yang Village, strange gunshots echoed around the mountains.
Yamamoto Kazuki's expression changed instantly when he heard the gunfire. He knew Shadow's character and would never shoot without reason.
But the time in between was too short. Yamamoto Kazuki didn't have time to think about it all and issue the next order. The first group that continued to climb successfully stepped on the mine ordered by Kong Jie to be buried near the top of the cliff.
Boom——
The explosions were heard in five or six places, and although the timing was not uniform, the final explosions were mixed together, making them indistinguishable.
It is also sad to say that who made the various tactical actions of the Yamamoto special agent team march in a unified manner, and even the formation of stepping on the mines was quite consistent. The six Japanese soldiers of the first team of the first combat team climbing almost at the same time Stepped on a landmine.
What the devil can't imagine, the devil can't imagine either!
The Eighth Route Army was so cunning that they buried mines on the cliff and concealed the traces so well that the Japanese rock climbers didn't notice it at all.
The six Japs who stepped on the mines flew out with a violent explosion and fell hard to the ground. It was not known whether they were killed by the mines or fell to death.
In short, there was no movement immediately.
The second rock climbing team of the first combat team also has six people and is less than five meters away from the first team.
There was an explosion, and the shattered soil fell instantly. The two Japs in the middle of the second rock-climbing team that was affected may not have strong willpower. They loosened their grip and fell directly from the rock-climbing rope.
After a passionate kiss with the earth at an altitude of more than ten meters, he was either dead or disabled.
The other four Japs in the second team were holding on to the climbing ropes firmly, but were only injured by falling rocks.
Kazuki Yamamoto, who looked ugly at the bottom of the cliff, came to his senses instantly. If it was just a landmine, it might be a trap laid by the enemy because of caution, but gunshots were also heard from the shadow behind him.
It was obvious that this was not just exposure, but falling into the enemy's trap.
What a cunning Tubalu, it turns out there was an ambush here.
"There is an ambush, retreat!" In any case, as soon as the explosion sounded, the special agent team was exposed, and the beheading operation had to be declared a failure. Yamamoto Kazuki gave the order without hesitation...
