A major officer with sharp eyes, a cold expression, and a straight figure strode into Lieutenant General Okabe's office. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Toshio Ikegami reports to you!"
"Yo Xi." Lieutenant General Okabe stepped forward happily and said, "Ikegami-kun, I have been waiting for you."
Next to him, the Third Army Major General Chief of Staff Tomoya Tetsuda echoed: "Ikegami-kun, the Chinese sniper opposite is indeed very powerful. In six days of fighting, sixty-nine excellent Imperial Army snipers have been defeated by him.
If you don't come again, there's really nothing we can do against him."
Major Chishang lowered his head suddenly and said: "General, don't worry, Chishang will definitely fulfill his mission."
"Yo Xi." Major General Tetsuda waved his hand, and Second Lieutenant Okubo Shiro who had been standing beside him quickly stepped forward. Major General Tetsuda pointed at Lieutenant Okubo Shiro and said to Major Ikegami: "Ikegami-kun, this is the headquarters.
The assistant I found specifically for you, Second Lieutenant Okubo, once encountered a Chinese sniper on the battlefield, and he was the only survivor."
"Hai." Major Ikegami lowered his head suddenly and said loudly, "Your Excellency, two generals, if there are no other instructions, Okubo-kun and I are going to the front line. I want to get familiar with the ruined terrain here as soon as possible, and the battlefield atmosphere also needs to be
Re-adapting, after all I haven't been on the battlefield for six years."
"Yo Xi." Lieutenant General Okabe nodded happily.
Watching Major Ikegami and Second Lieutenant Okubo go away, Major General Tetsuda suddenly said: "General, can he do it? This sniper duel is not only about the face of the Imperial Army of Japan, but also about the national character of the Empire of Japan. Once defeated,
, it will inevitably become the laughing stock of Western countries, and there is really no room for error.”
"If even he can't do it, then no one can." Lieutenant General Okabe shook his head and said, "Toshio Ikegami once studied at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, but he lacked interest in strategy and tactics, so he unexpectedly chose
Dropped out of school and entered the sniper training school in Munich. After graduating with honors, he studied abroad and taught."
"These are just his resume." Major General Tengtian said, "General, the training ground and the battlefield are not the same thing."
"He has been on the battlefield and is a true veteran." Lieutenant General Okabe said, "In the Manchurian Incident in the sixth year of the Showa era, and the Songhu Incident in the seventh year of the Showa era, Toshio Ikegami participated in the war as an army second lieutenant, and died at the point of his gun.
There were more than a hundred Chinese officers and countless soldiers under his command, and the nickname 'King of Snipers' came from that time."
"Yo Xi." Major General Tengtian nodded happily, "Then I'll be relieved."
…
Xuzhou Railway Station, ruins.
Ye Xiaoxian and Zhao Youting were smoking together.
Zhao Youting took a deep breath, feeling the pleasure of the thick smoke billowing in his lungs, and said sincerely: "American smoke, good stuff!"
"You should save your fucking money." Ye Xiaoxian said heartbrokenly, "This is the last cigarette, it will be gone after you smoke it."
"Isn't it just a cigarette?" Zhao Youting took off the cigarette from his mouth and gave it to Ye Xiaoxian, saying, "I'll get you two packs of Japanese cigarettes later. You can exchange half a cigarette for two packs, and you'll make a fortune."
"Look at yours." Ye Xiaoxian curled his lips, as if he didn't believe it.
"You don't believe it?" Zhao Youting said unhappily, "Go and have a look at our platoon. They are all smoking Japanese cigarettes now."
Ye Xiao smiled first, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Youting, have you really never touched a gun before?"
The deeds of the sniper hero Zhao Youting have not only spread throughout the Chinese community, but are also known to everyone in the Baoshan Brigade. This was done deliberately by Yue Weihan. Although the Baoshan Brigade did not have a printing press and could not print newspapers and leaflets, but
The Baoshan Brigade had loudspeakers, so they specially arranged for someone to read Zhao Xinyi's battlefield diary on the battlefield.
Yue Weihan's purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to boost the morale of the entire brigade officers and soldiers.
"I have never touched a rifle." Zhao Youting nodded and said, "But I have played with a shell gun."
"Have you ever played with a shell gun?" Ye Xiaoxian asked curiously, "How about shooting with a shell gun?"
"It's not bad." Zhao Youting said with a faint look, "There's no problem in killing someone within fifty meters."
When he said this, Zhao Youting clearly showed a murderous aura. Ye Xiaoxian said solemnly: "Youting, have you killed many people?"
Zhao Youting's expression suddenly froze and he was speechless.
Ye Xiaoxian said hurriedly: "Youting, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."
"It's nothing." Zhao Youting shook his head and sighed softly, "I killed a lot of people in Shanghai, but all of them were Chinese. It was really boring. They were killing each other, and the Chinese were killing the Chinese.
, What kind of skill is that? A football skill? So I came to Xuzhou and joined the Baoshan Brigade, not for anything else, just to kill the Japanese!"
Ye Xiao first patted Zhao Youting on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Youting, you are good."
Just as they were talking, two veterans were already walking towards them. The tall veteran in front said in a solemn tone: "Vice Platoon Zhao, we are in trouble. The Japs' sniper king is here."
"Is it finally here?" Zhao Youting stood up suddenly and said murderously, "Where is it?"
The veteran said: "In the abandoned three-story warehouse in front, they just shot and killed two of our machine gunners, a platoon leader, and three snipers. The old squad leader is also dead."
"What did you say?" Zhao Youting said solemnly, "The old squad leader is also dead?"
The old squad leader was the sniper in the Bayonet Battalion whose marksmanship was second only to Zhao Youting. Although his record was not as brilliant as Zhao Youting, as many as nineteen Japanese snipers had died under his gun!
The veteran said with a sad expression: "Just one shot, right in the face."
"What a bastard!" Zhao Youting gritted his teeth and immediately picked up his rifle and strode away.
…
There is an abandoned warehouse at the forward position where the two armies are fighting.
This warehouse was originally used by the train station to store materials traveling from north to south. It is a reinforced concrete structure with three floors. The left side has been destroyed by Japanese aerial bombs. With the building as the boundary, the Chinese and Japanese armies are fighting fiercely.
, bullets whizzed through the air, and from time to time, artillery shells exploded in the surrounding open space, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.
In the corner of the second floor of the warehouse, Major Ikegami was searching for the next prey on the battlefield through a sniper telescope.
Suddenly, Major Chishang's eyes stopped behind a low wall. Behind the low wall was a pile of bulging debris, which seemed to be integrated with the surrounding rubble and invulnerable. However, Major Chishang could see it at a glance.
There is a Chinese sniper hidden, this is a cunning Chinese sniper!
Almost at the same time that Major Ikegami locked onto the Chinese sniper, the Chinese sniper on the opposite side also spotted him.
A sinister smile suddenly broke out at the corner of Major Ikegami's mouth, and he immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation. The Chinese sniper on the opposite side shot his head in response. Through the sniper telescope, Major Ikegami clearly saw that the Chinese sniper's head suddenly split open and appeared.
It violently sprayed out fleshy brain matter and bone fragments radially in all directions.
Second Lieutenant Okubo next to him put down his telescope and said excitedly: "This is the ninth one!"
Major Ikegami smiled calmly, immediately put away his sniper rifle and said, "Okubo-kun, let's go back."
"Go back?" Second Lieutenant Okubo said in astonishment, "Sir, the most powerful Chinese sniper must have got the news. He is probably coming this way. Why not shoot him today?"
"There is no rush." Major Chishang waved his hand and said indifferently, "I have just arrived in Xuzhou. I have traveled a long distance and been tired from traveling and traveling. Both physically and mentally, I have not yet recovered to the best condition. It is not appropriate to follow the top snipers right now.
Hand-to-hand duel, our task today is to get familiar with the terrain and adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield."
"Yo Xi." Second Lieutenant Okubo said sincerely, "Sir, you are really thoughtful."
Major Ikegami immediately stood up, patted Second Lieutenant Okubo's shoulder and turned around to leave.
…
Zhao Youting quickly came to the opposite side of the warehouse under the guidance of two veterans.
The tall veteran said as he walked: "Vice platoon Zhao, the kid's sniper king fired seven shots in total and killed six of us. He didn't move his position in the middle. The sniper didn't move his position. This kid is so damned.
He was so arrogant that he simply didn't take us seriously. He was demonstrating against us, nakedly demonstrating!"
"He won't be able to jump for much longer." Zhao Youting gritted his teeth and said ferociously.
"The kid is probably still here," the tall veteran said. "Just ask Pepper. Before leaving, I specifically told Pepper to closely monitor the kid's movements."
After that, the tall veteran lay on his side and crawled towards the pile of debris in front of him with his elbows on the ground.
The Japs "King of Snipers" on the opposite side is not a vegetarian. Facing such a powerful opponent, the tall veteran will never dare to expose any part of his body to the opponent's sight. Otherwise, his body will be missing parts.
Especially if the thing in your crotch is missing, you won’t be able to explain it to your wife when you get home!
Zhao Youting and the other veteran also carefully hid their bodies behind obstacles.
Although Zhao Youting has strong confidence in himself, he never dares to underestimate his enemies.
When he was still more than ten meters away from the debris pile, the tall veteran called out twice in a low voice. Seeing no response, the tall veteran quickly speeded up and climbed to the edge of the debris pile and immediately started screaming: "Little pepper!"
"
Zhao Youting and another veteran suddenly looked sad. Just listening to the tall veteran's voice, they knew that the little pepper that stayed behind to carry out the battlefield observation mission had definitely been killed. Sure enough, the tall veteran quickly turned back and bit into it.
Ya Dao: "Vice platoon Zhao, Xiao Chili is also dead. You must kill that little devil to avenge him."
Zhao Youting closed his eyes suddenly, then opened them again after a while and said: "The little devil is gone, but don't worry, he won't survive tomorrow!"
