"This is the enemy's sappers?"

Hou Wanshan saw the preparations carried by the little devil sappers and quickly recognized their identities.

"That's right!"

After Yang Yun nodded, he suddenly shouted at the iron pillar on the side: "Iron pillar! ”

"Here, Brother Yun!"

"Give the order to Zhang Xingjie, the commander of the sharpshooter platoon, and prepare for action!"

"Yes!"

After a response, the iron pillar took the order and left.

"Brother Yang, should our 110th Brigade start working?"

"Brother, don't worry, you will be busy later, and the main force of this battle is your 110 Brigade."

"Okay."

……

With trepidation, these little devil sappers came to the edge of the creek and waded across the river. Finally, he bypassed the torrent of steel in front of him and came to the front of the line.

In front of them is an open river beach, and now it is the stage for their real performance.

It's just that the protagonists who are about to perform on stage are as ugly as eating, because they are not going to perform, but to die, but they have no choice.

After hesitating for a moment, under the leadership of a little devil sapper ensign, the twenty little devil sappers lined up and walked forward.

"Want to clear mines? Hehe! ”

In the Songjialing trench more than 300 meters away, Zhang Xingjie, the commander of the sharpshooter platoon, looked at these little devil sappers with a mocking expression.

Just as the sappers stepped forward and were about to continue their exploration, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the Type 97 sniper rifle in his hand.

Type 97 sniper rifle, a manual bolt-operated sniper rifle designed and manufactured and put into service by Japanese imperialism in 1937 (Showa 12, Imperial Age 2597) during World War II, is named Type 97 sniper rifle because it is named after the year of Imperial Age. Basically, the Type 97 sniper rifle was developed as a modification of the Type 38 rifle and used the same 6.5mm Arisaka ammunition. The original Type 38 rifle also had a sniper rifle, so the Type 97 sniper rifle differed from the Type 38 sniper rifle in that it used a lighter stock, an elongated curved handle (to reduce the interference of the handle with the scope during operation), and the addition of a 2.5x or Type 99 quadruple optical sight and a monopod (monopod; later versions have been eliminated and became standard accessories for Type 99 rifles).

As for distinguishing the Type 97 sniper rifle from the Type 38 sniper rifle in terms of appearance, the answer is that it is difficult, and you must look closely and observe carefully; The Type 38 sniper rifle has an engraved "38 style" on the receiver, and if it is a rifle before the third year of Taisho (1914), there is also a chrysanthemum coat of arms engraved on the traditional symbol of the imperial family.

These sniper rifles were all captured by Yang Yun from the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army in the Battle of Yongcheng.

When this batch of materials was first captured, Yang Yun was also very surprised, because he really didn't expect to be able to capture these treasures from the hands of the Japanese army, your 27th Brigade.

You know, the sniper rifle in his hand is just a modification of the Mauser 98K rifle with a quadruple optical scope.

Although this batch of Type 97 sniper rifles is equipped with a 2.5x optical scope, it is at least an authentic sniper rifle, much stronger than the Mauser 98K rifle or Type 38 rifle used before the sharpshooter platoon.

Without the slightest hesitation, as soon as he seized this batch of materials, Yang Yun directly equipped the sharpshooter platoon, and ordered Zhang Xingjie, the commander of the sharpshooter platoon, that all the brothers of the sharpshooter platoon must be familiar with the use of the Type 97 sniper rifle in the shortest possible time.

If he couldn't do it, he took back the sniper rifles and took him off as a platoon commander.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xingjie immediately became anxious, he was not worried about being removed from the position of platoon commander, but he was afraid that Yang Yun would take back the treasure that had already been in his hands.

You must know that for this batch of treasures, the hemp pole is very red-eyed, and even asked Yang Yun to assign some to their reconnaissance company.

Even Hu Yunfei, Zhang Jinpeng, Liu Zhenhai and other three battalion commanders were also so red-eyed that they couldn't do it, and after asking Yang Yun to assign the regimental seat to no avail, they directly found Zhang Xingjie, hoping to exchange with him.

Asking for people, asking for money, light machine guns and heavy machine guns are all picked by him, and even grenadiers and mortars can be.

However, where will Zhang Xingjie exchange with them? You know, he is the platoon commander of the sharpshooter platoon, and these things may be good things that the rest of the troops can't ask for, but they don't seem to be of any use to their sharpshooter platoon.

What's more, the more than 20 brothers in their sharpshooter platoon were not enough to be distributed, and he simply ordered directly, but those who did not meet the requirements were directly disqualified from owning the Type 97 sniper rifle.

With the issuance of this order, the enthusiasm of the sharpshooter platoon brothers in training will suddenly be raised.

You must know that it is not only the brothers in their sharpshooter platoon who are jealous of their treasures, but also those battalion commanders who are salivating over them.

In the entire new regiment, except for the one that Yang Yun assigned to the chief of staff Yang Ronghui, the rest of the sniper rifles were given to their sharpshooter platoon, and even he did not leave even one of them.

The most important thing is that if they don't train well, not only will they not be able to get this batch of baby bumps, but even their sharpshooter platoon will not be able to get all of them, so where do they dare to carry them in the slightest?

Ahem! It's a bit of a stretch......

Zhang Xingjie's marksmanship is the only one capable of competing with Yang Yunyi in the entire new regiment, and at a distance of 300 meters, not to mention being equipped with a Type 97 sniper rifle.

Even if he directly aimed with the 38 rifle or the Mauser 98K rifle, he was 90 percent sure that he would kill the target with one shot.

What's more, he now uses a regular Type 97 sniper rifle.

Almost at the same moment as the gunshots rang out, the head of a little devil sapper turned into a cloud of blood mist, and then he fell to the ground and convulsed a few times, but there was no movement.

The sound of the gun was an order, and the next moment when Zhang Xingjie fired, the brothers of the rest of the sharpshooter platoon also pulled the trigger at the same time.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

A series of fierce gunshots rang out, and the rest of the little devil sappers also fell to the ground one after another, and they didn't even have a chance to react, so they never had a chance to get up.

The little devil infantry behind the tank armored car were all stunned by this scene, and subconsciously retracted their heads, hid back, and did not dare to rise again, for fear that they would become the target of the enemy's attack in the next moment.

"Yaga, the one ahead, what's the situation?"

Because his vision was blocked, Ryosuke Yoshika could only hear the sound of gunfire coming from in front of him, but he didn't know what was happening.

"Will ...... Your Excellency, General, it seems that the enemy has opened fire! ”

Hiroshi Nakagawa replied weakly.

"Yaga!"

Ryosuke Yoshika's eyes widened with anger.

Nakagawa Hiroshi was so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.

Moments later, the news came back that all twenty sappers had been wiped out......
