Yamura's confidence increased by the sniper rifle, and his assistant, Private Miyamoto, who had similar shooting skills to him, also gave him high expectations for victory.

But he didn't know that a real sniper is not entirely reflected in marksmanship, that is a comprehensive quality.

A sniper may crawl all day just to fire a shot, and sometimes he may not find anything, can you abandon the mission without firing a shot?

Sometimes you only have a three-second chance of shooting at your target, and if you're daydreaming, eating, or something unrelated, you're failing.

You have to know your mission, your location and wait for the goal to appear. You may have to stay still all day to avoid detection by your enemies, which sounds easy, but it's actually very difficult.

It is impossible for a beginner angler to leave the line below the surface for more than three minutes, because they always want to bring the hook up and look at it.

If you have experience in hunting. You'll know how tough it is to stay still in front of your prey. What's more, the prey you will face is the one who will shoot at you as soon as he sees you?

So, for a good sniper, carefulness and patience are all he is and influence his decisions.

In fact, careful care alone can make a sniper successful. Before the operation, the sniper must decide where to be, how to go, how to go, what equipment to bring, what camouflage to use, how to communicate, what to do in case of emergency, how to retreat after the mission is completed, and how to avoid losses if it cannot be completed.

A sniper must think through all the procedures from the beginning to the end, and his weapon and ammunition supply and equipment configuration will have an effect, and shooting skills are only the last element.

And like Yamura, who uses civilians to show off his marksmanship, he has been flattered and flattered, but he has fallen behind in his mind.

Of course, the sniper duel is not so easy. What kind of war book or something, it won't be useful at all. To meet at the same time and place, except for coincidences, there is only one side waiting for the other side to ambush.

Shen Chen didn't know that the devil had a sniper rifle, and he was holding back his strength to fight him to the death. After finishing the training of the district squadron, he rushed back to Wangjiawa and began a three-day vacation.

In the season of recovery, the small Wangjiawa is also lively.

Spring ploughing and production is a major event, which is related to the year's food, and various organs have mobilized cadres, and even the main force has sent some soldiers to various villages to help with labor.

In the field outside the village, a soldier leans out with a plow in one hand, and shouts at his cattle intermittently. The big black mule walked forward, the damp earth turned up on the bright ploughshare, neatly like the waves of the spring river, and the lines carved by the carver.

"This comrade is really good at doing farm work, and the land he cultivates is straighter than the ink line!" Sun Hongshan stopped the shovel and couldn't help but praise: "I have been digging charcoal for more than ten years, and this cultivated land has been born from hand." ”

Erdan threw out a piece of black and wet clods, turned over the shovel, smashed the clods hard, and said: "If you want to say that the sports car is brisk, this kind of strange and tiring place." ”

"Where do you get to eat and drink if you don't farm?" Sun Hongshan said with a smile: "Hard work is harder, but it is much better than digging charcoal." At the very least, there is no need to worry about running on the top of the water, and there is no counter blackmail. ”

Erdan worked for a while, and sweat rose from the top of his head, surrounding the mountain peaks like a cloud. He stopped his shovel and said to his uncle, "Uncle, don't forget to give me a shotgun, it's been a few days." ”

Sun Hongshan nodded helplessly, not because it took a lot of effort to build, but because he didn't want this kid to lose his job because he had a shotgun.

You know, just seeing the hunting people have meat to eat, but it is also dangerous, and it is not easy to support the family.

Sun Hongshan is also from Zhuanghu, he still thinks that the land is the most reliable, you pay hard work and sweat, there will be a harvest in autumn, and you can let your family eat.

"When I practice my sister's marksmanship, I will let my family eat meat every day." When Erdan saw that his uncle had agreed again, he was happy in his heart, and he looked forward to it again.

Although Sun Hongshan thinks that his niece is running away outside, he has a reputation, which is also his pride.

Hearing Erdan say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "That's not easy. How many soldiers carry guns every day, they are not as good as your sister. This depends on talent and understanding. It's like, it's like ......"

Sun Hongshan hadn't thought of an example yet, and Erdan had already said: "Let my sister teach me more, I will definitely be able to do it." Some tricks or something, he still doesn't tell me about this brother? ”

Sun Hongshan saw that the soldiers had already driven the cattle to the ground, so he hurriedly ran over to take over, and let the soldiers sit under the small willow tree on the edge of the field and smoke a cigarette to take a breath.

In fact, the relatively large piece of cultivated land is only about two or three points, and it is still the village that takes care of Sun Hongshan's family, which is also a little reward for Shen Chen's outstanding contributions.

It didn't take long to plough the land, and seeing that it was not yet noon, the warrior took the initiative to ask to work on another plot.

The other plots were far away, and the cattle couldn't go up, only Sun Hongshan and this warrior climbed up the mountain along a path. The path circled around the mountainside, getting higher and higher, and when you looked down, you could see that the village was already far below.

In a small col, on the sunny slope, there are several sections of terraced fields, which is the land of Sun Hongshan's family.

In these terraced fields, the bottom one is as big as a kang, and the top one is smaller than a pot, and the edges of each layer must be built with stones, and the soil on top is paved flat before it can be cultivated.

As far as the eye can see, the hillside is dotted with land that the villagers have leveled out with stone weirs.

Although each piece of land is not large, irregular, pointed, semicircular, and trapezoidal, but the total amount adds up to no less than a few acres or dozens of acres of fields reclaimed.

The soil is ready-made, dug out of the ground and carried on its back; Dealers are industrious and able to endure hardships.

People who have paid hard sweat, are not afraid of hardship, and are not afraid of fatigue, use stones to build small pieces of terraced fields, some have to build a foot high, and then basket by basket to fill the soil from the bottom of the mountain to fill the ground.

In these terraced fields, sorghum, millet, beans, corn, turnips, and cranberries are planted, and persimmon trees, jujube trees, and chestnut trees are planted in the ditches where crops cannot be grown.

"Comrade Zhao, I see that you are very good at farming!" Sun Hongshan landed on the ground with this warrior and asked, "What are you doing at home?" ”

This soldier was in his twenties, but he had already been a soldier for two years, and he seemed very mature and steady, and replied with a smile: "Except for the landlord's old wealth, not all of them are shaved in the soil to eat. ”

It was a bit of a struggle to dig the ground on the hillside, because the ground was too short, and they couldn't walk a few steps to stick the rake into the ground, so they had to jump outside the stone barrier to pull the rake to the ground.

Comrade Zhao was a little uncomfortable with such work, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I came from flat land, where there is a lot of land, and I can pay a lot of rent. I don't know if there is a rent reduction or interest reduction now, if there is, it would be good. ”

Sun Hongshan nodded and said, "I've been to flat land, and this little field can't catch up with a corner of the field there." You are right, the land is less produced, the public grain is also less, and there is no land rent, which should be much stronger than before. ”

After the Anti-Japanese War, a campaign to reduce rent and interest was carried out in the base area.

The so-called rent reduction and interest reduction is "milking the cows"; squeezing a little today and squeezing a little tomorrow, the poor peasants' lives can be improved, the feudal exploitation forces have not been fundamentally eliminated for the time being, the peasants are happy, and the landlords and rich peasants can also accept it.

Therefore, the broad masses of poor people support this policy. Originally, the rent was 50%, 60%, or even 70%, which was indeed too heavy for tenants.

In fact, the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction was not first proposed by the *****, but by the national government.

At that time, the Kuomintang was also aware of the tension between the peasants and the landlords, and stated in the policy address of the Ministry of Food: "It is most unfair that the peasants will have to supply most of their hard-earned income to the landlords." In the most serious places, the highest amount of land rent paid by the peasants was 70 out of 3 percent of the harvest. In other places, about sixty percent go to landlords. ”

However, if a good decree is formulated, but it cannot be implemented, it is just a painting of the pie, and it cannot but be said to be the incompetence and failure of the national government.

The most important reason why ***** can carry out this policy is that it can establish the organization down to the grassroots level and conscientiously supervise, publicize, and implement it.

Moreover, the innate distance from the interests of the landlord class is also a fundamental reason why ***** can fully implement the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction.

In Wangjiawa, even the only small landlord has run away, not to mention rent and interest reductions. Only public grain was paid, and no land rent was paid, and although the land was scarce and barren, the people's lives were still much better than before.

Talking, chatting, and working, it was almost noon, and Erdan also brought the meal.

Millet porridge, paste, salted radish strips.

"Eat, comrade." Sun Hongshan enthusiastically asked, "Don't think the food is bad, when my niece comes back, I may be able to hit wild things and let you eat meat!" ”

After a pause, Sun Hongshan sighed again, "She's too stubborn, and she goes hunting in the mountains and old forests alone, which makes people really worried." ”

"Uncle Sun, you're too polite." Comrade Zhao was not polite, picked up the cake and ate it in a big bite, and said while eating: "I know, your niece is Comrade Sun Damei, who is a heroine, and she also taught shooting lessons in our army!" ”

Sun Hongshan was stunned for a moment and asked, "She gave you a lecture?" ”

only knows what kind of hero his niece has become, and Sun Hongshan really doesn't know the specific deeds. In his mind, there are not many women who carry guns to fight, and maybe it is just to set an example or something that he raises his niece.

Comrade Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Damei's marksmanship is very powerful, and the number of kills is unbelievable. In the guerrillas, she is the pillar! ”

Sun Hongshan blinked slowly, and the idea of being subverted made him unable to adapt for a while.

Comrade Zhao didn't notice Sun Hongshan's strange appearance, drank two sips of porridge, and continued: "Not only the guerrillas, but even our battalion admires her very much. It turned out that the veteran who was not convinced saw her marksmanship and was also convinced. ”

Oh! Sun Hongshan subconsciously responded, but he didn't have any pride and pride.

……………

The moonlight shines out through the saddle-shaped ridge, and the black shadows of the trees, rocks, and mountain peaks are set off by the moonlight.

I don't know if it was sweating or because of the touch of the clouds, Shen Chen's face was a little wet, he felt stuffy and panicked, so he unbuttoned the collar and let the cool breeze blow into his arms, and let out a long sigh of relief.

This road was walked by him when he followed Uncle Wang and Juzi to hunt, Shen Chen had an excellent memory, and he was not worried about the danger of getting lost.

A miserable owl howl suddenly came, Shen Chen couldn't help but shiver, he held the gun, looked around vigilantly, saw that there was no other movement, and continued to walk forward.

In the hazy moonlight, he walked briskly along the mountain road alone, and there was almost no sound except for his rustling footsteps, the howling of gusts of wind, and the brushing of branches.

The slope of the hill became higher and higher, and the more difficult it became, and when he came to the top of the slope, Shen Chen stopped beside a rock, wanting to rest for a while.

The view here is wide, he can see a long distance, and it is very safe. And under this big rock, there is a thin but powerful spring, just to quench his thirst.

Taking out the biscuits from the small cloth bag on his body, Shen Chen ate slowly, but his eyes and ears were not idle, listening and watching, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

It was not too far from the village, and Shen Chen estimated the time, and it would take about an hour and a half to get back to the village.

Suddenly, a wolf howl in the distance made Shen Chen's eyes widen and flash with an alert light.

Uncle Wang seems to have said that there are wolves in this vicinity, and there are still several.

Shen Chen thought about it, checked the long and short guns again, put them in the position of his hands, and cleaned up his body neatly, and then continued to rush forward along the mountain road.

………………

Three or four wolves bared their teeth and let out a low roar around a cave.

A stout figure with a shotgun in his hand, his eyes widened, guarding the entrance of the cave, not daring to shoot easily.

If it's a wolf, it's easy to do, take aim and shoot it. But this is several, one shot, there is no time to reload, and he has not been torn to pieces by the wolf?

After a moment of confrontation, roaring, the head wolf seemed to give a command, and several wolves suddenly separated and slowly approached forward in a fan. The man shouted and took aim with his gun, both to embolden himself and to demonstrate to the wolves.

Whew, one wolf pounced forward, and the other wolf continued to approach silently.

Boom, Uncle Wang shot the wolf that pounced forward, while the other wolf pounced silently, biting his neck with a fishy mouth.

Uncle Wang picked up the shotgun suddenly, struck suddenly, and volleyed the wolf into the air. The wolf let out a low howl and rolled on the ground, baring his fangs at him.

Although he repelled the attack of the two wolves, Uncle Wang's heart sank.
