Wang Xuexin made preparations when the trumpet started shouting.
He first took off his hat and rubbed it on the muddy ground.
The blue sky and white sun cap emblem in the center was particularly conspicuous on the gray military cap. Wang Xuexin rubbed it black with mud and then smeared it on his face a few times.
When Wang Xuexin dealt with Fukuda Masaichi and his group of Japanese scouts before, he knew that the Japanese military qualities were not an exaggeration.
The Japs on the other side must be pretty good too, and the distance is only fifty meters, so Wang Xuexin had to be careful.
After that, Wang Xuexin found a position that was neither too high nor too low.
This is common sense.
Although the view is wide at a position that is too high, it is a dangerous point that Japanese snipers focus on. It is very likely that a bullet will fly over as soon as you poke your head out.
If the position is too low, the field of vision is not good, and it is useless if you cannot see the target.
Wang Xuexin ran back and forth in the trenches and finally chose a dead tree.
This tree had just been hit by artillery fire and was still emitting a little smoke, which would obviously affect the sight of Japanese snipers.
In addition, there are many branches that have been shaken down by gunfire scattered under the dead trees.
On the one hand, these branches can serve as natural hiding places for Wang Xuexin.
On the other hand, if they become the target of the Japs, these branches can also serve as a cover... When bullets flying at high speed are likely to deviate when they hit dead branches, even if they deviate just a little, it is possible.
Save Wang Xuexin's life at the critical moment.
Wang Xuexin took a deep breath and slowly poked his head out.
He did not draw out his gun because Wang Xuexin knew that if a Japanese sniper was watching here, drawing out his gun would not be of any help except increasing the danger to himself.
After observing the direction of the enemy's position for a while, Wang Xuexin was quite satisfied with the position he chose: there was a low-lying land in front of him, which extended forward for more than ten meters before starting to go up. This made it easy for Wang Xuexin to focus on the enemy's position without being disturbed.
.
It took Wang Xuexin some time to roughly memorize the direction and outline of the Japanese position, then he retracted his head, adjusted the ruler, and waited with his gun.
The small speaker did not disappoint Wang Xuexin.
To be precise, Xiaoxue's Japanese proficiency did not disappoint Wang Xuexin. He and the Japanese who shouted were almost conversing in two different planes, and they could not always talk about the same thing. Wang Xuexin felt a little anxious for him.
It is a unique human impulse to prevent such awkward conversations, and even Wang Xuexin is no exception.
However, Wang Xuexin did not step forward to stop it, because this was exactly what he wanted.
He knew that Japanese officers usually knew some Chinese... This was the Japanese requirement for middle- and junior-level officers, especially those behind enemy lines.
The reason is that when the Japanese live and fight on Chinese soil, they inevitably have to deal with Chinese people or traitors.
The Japanese can't require every soldier to learn Chinese, or every squad or squadron to have a translator.
Even if there are so many translators, what if the translator dies in the battle?
Therefore, it becomes the best solution for officers to learn some Chinese... Officers are less likely to die in battle. At the same time, they have high cultural level and strong learning ability, and they also have the time and conditions for learning.
The Japanese even gathered officers together to learn Chinese in their free time.
Just as Wang Xuexin was recalling this in his mind, he heard a different shout from the direction of the Japanese:
"My, Li Yunlong's, no duel! Hand-to-hand combat, come up, come up..."
Wang Xuexin almost laughed out loud. His Chinese proficiency is not much better than Xiao Xiao’s Japanese proficiency. Why do you have the nerve to show off?
However, Wang Xuexin's focus was not on this. Based on the direction of the sound, he estimated the officer's location as quickly as possible and matched it with the terrain in his mind, and then suddenly raised his gun and poked his head out.
The target was almost on target, only about one meter off, which prevented Wang Xuexin from adjusting the muzzle angle in the shortest possible time.
It was half a head behind a trumpet. Only about one-third of the yellow military cap was exposed, and a yellow five-pointed star could be vaguely seen in the middle.
Wang Xuexin did not hesitate, aimed at the five-pointed star and pulled the trigger.
There was a "bang", a slight tremor came from the shoulder, and the bullet flew out and went straight to the target.
A flash of red immediately appeared in Wang Xuexin's sight. It shot out like an arrow and sprayed onto the loess behind it. The small portable speaker in the officer's hand rolled down from the position with a clanging sound.
Wang Xuexin didn't dare to look carefully and immediately retracted his head.
There was only a "bang bang" sound of gunfire, and several bullets flew past Wang Xuexin's head. Wang Xuexin could even feel the airflow they brought.
At that moment, Wang Xuexin vaguely heard the Japanese shouting:
"Major!"
"Medic!"
…
Major?
Wang Xuexin was confused. Did he kill a big fish?
Directly kill the Japanese captain?
The trumpet also heard the Japanese's shouts. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Wang Xuexin in surprise. It took him a while to react, and then he shouted excitedly:
"Hit, Xiao Dongbei! You hit!"
"He's a major...Japanese captain!"
He shouted and ran excitedly in the direction of Wang Xuexin.
"Stop!" Wang Xuexin shouted, then rushed forward a short distance and threw the trumpet into the trench.
The next second, several grenade rounds hit the dead tree, making a "boom" explosion.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, who were observing the battle at the foot of the mountain, didn't know this yet.
Although they kept staring at Xiao Dongbei with binoculars, they only saw him taking out his gun and did not see the Japanese on the other side of the ridge.
However, seeing Xiao Dongbei's action of firing the gun, Li Yunlong couldn't help but praise: "The action is familiar enough, you must have practiced it often!"
After putting away the telescope and thinking for a moment, Li Yunlong shouted to the guard a few meters away: "Monk, go up and ask if you were hit!"
The monk responded, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the soldiers on the hillside shouting excitedly: "Hit, hit!"
A smile appeared on Li Yunlong's face: "That's right! This kid has a lot of skills! He's capable of both literary and military skills. He's a damn figure... Come down and give him a can of meat!"
At this time, Li Yunlong thought that Wang Xuexin killed an ordinary Japanese soldier, one Japanese man and one meat can, nothing wrong with him.
However, Li Yunlong soon discovered that he was wrong.
Because immediately after, he heard the soldiers on the hillside shouting: "Kill the Japanese captain, and kill the major!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang exchanged glances, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.
Li Yunlong still didn't believe it and shouted towards the hillside: "You have killed the Japanese captain? Who are you trying to coax?"
Soon, the correspondent was seen running up to Li Yunlong out of breath, and reported intermittently: "The captain... the one who was killed may be... the Japanese captain, many soldiers... heard it, the Japanese... shouted 'Major'
!”
Li Dachui, who had remained silent, asked, "Did Xiao Dongbei hit him?"
The correspondent nodded firmly: "That's him, Xiao Dongbei, who captured eleven Japs!"
The fact that Xiaodongbei captured eleven Japs is not a small matter, and it has been spread more and more. In addition, Xiaodongbei had previously been "famous" to the whole group for lying on the bed under the bed, so it is true that the independent group did not recognize him.
not much.
Li Dachui was so excited that he rubbed his hands and couldn't say anything. He just kept giggling "hehehe".
Zhao Gang looked confused and still couldn't believe this was true.
Li Yunlong didn't care about this. He took a big knife from the guard and shouted: "Blow the charge horn! The whole regiment will not miss anyone below me. Charge for me!"
