Yamamoto later found out about Shadow's background. 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 the trenches were almost full. In the end, only an extremely tenacious guy climbed out of the pile of dead people and survived. He had a broken bone in his right hand.
The shadow of the ring finger.
It is said that his ring finger was severed during a confrontation with a top sniper. Of course, Shadow paid the price of a ring finger, while his opponent paid the price with his life.
Later, the imperial military gave Shadow a medal and said that he was old enough and could choose to retire. After retirement, 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 a huge amount of wealth on prostitutes in less than a month, Shadow returned to the army carrying the sniper rifle that had been with him for many years.
Then he went round and round and joined the Yamamoto Special Agents.
Because of his resume, Shadow has a detached status in the Yamamoto Special Agents. He almost doesn't pay attention to anyone 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 taciturn.
Even if one finger is missing, his strength is still daunting.
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 Yangcun 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, simple and backward villages without any lights, and completely silent.
Quietly, the lurking shadow saw the figure of captain Yamamoto Kazuki and others. The first combat team has successfully climbed the cliff and will soon reach the top.
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 6.5x50mm reduced-charge bullet, which completes the entire burning process in the barrel. The bullet produces almost no smoke when it flies out of the muzzle, and the sound of the gun is also greatly weakened, making it extremely effective.
to avoid exposure to snipers.
With this special bullet, superb sniper skills, and determination to die, Shadow once quietly killed two enemy artillery squadrons on the most brutal battlefield without being noticed at all.
But at this moment, I don’t know why, looking at the simple village, it is obviously dead silence, but Shadow always feels that something is 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 targeted 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 a night battle, as long as there is a certain amount of moonlight, and as long as the opponent's gun is not wrapped in a wrap, he can see it.
The faint light reflected from the metal of the gun itself.
Not to mention that the moonlight is pretty good at the moment. Although it is not a full moon, it is by no means completely dark.
Soon,
Saw it!
The gun barrel reflecting the faint 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. It was a unique material made of metal that could reflect such special light under such moonlight.
But the stakes are high. The most important thing for the special agent team to carry out the beheading operation this time is concealment. The sound of gunshots will expose them, and the entire operation has to be declared a failure.
Shadow concentrated and continued to lock his sight on the barrel of the gun.
He quickly made a judgment. It was definitely a gun barrel. Judging from the diameter, 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.
Bang——
There is no other way to communicate between Shadow and Yamamoto. This is the fastest message that Shadow can transmit.
The sound is unique to the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle.
The dead silence of the night outside Yang Village was instantly broken, and the strange sound of gunshots circled and echoed in the mountains.
Yamamoto Kazuki's expression changed instantly when he heard the gunfire. He knew Shadow's character and would never shoot without reason.
However, the time in between was too short. Yamamoto Kazuki did not have time to think through all this and issue the next order. The first group that continued to climb successfully stepped on the mine that Kong Jie ordered to be buried near the top of the cliff. p>
Boom——
The explosions sounded in five or six places, and although the times were not uniform, the final explosions were mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish them.
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 remained quite consistent. The six Japanese soldiers of the first team of the first combat team climbing almost at the same time
I stepped on a landmine.
What the devil can’t imagine, the Japanese can’t imagine either!
The Eighth Route Army was so cunning that they buried landmines on the cliffs and concealed the traces so skillfully that the rock-climbing Japanese didn't notice it at all.
The six Japs who stepped on the mines flew out in the violent explosion and fell hard to the ground. It is 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 instantly fell down. The two devils in the middle of the second rock climbing team who were affected may not have strong willpower. They loosened their grip and fell directly from the rock climbing rope. p>
More than ten meters high in the air, after a passionate kiss with the earth, I 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.
Yamamoto Kazuki, 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.
Obviously, this is not just exposure, but falling into the enemy's trap.
What a cunning Tuba Road, it turns out there was an ambush here.
"There is an ambush, retreat!" In any case, when the explosion sounded, the special agent team was exposed, and the beheading operation had to fail. Yamamoto Kazuki gave the order without hesitation...
