Chapter 72: Expert Consultation (3)
The shotgun used by the Hunter Shimizu Pulse is a local Japanese brand Tomakaaka Type 97 rifle, with a 6.5mm caliber, range and accuracy that are first-class. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info doesn't use any scope, Shimizu has never used the original mechanical sight on the rifle, and the absolute range of 400 meters is 100 shots.
For the hunter Shimizu Pulse, the final shot is not the whole of the hunt, but the real excitement is the search, sneaking, tracking, occupancy, and aiming before shooting. And he enjoyed it.
If it weren't for the black bear that the hunter Shimizu Pulse encountered in the forest in the late autumn of 1929 and the man he was attacking, Shimizu might still be an obscure hunter, roaming the forests of Hokkaido, hunting, and living a free and happy life.
On that day, the hunter Qing Mizu Pulse went hunting in the woods as usual, tracking the tracks left by a fox, but accidentally ran into a bear - perhaps the fox had deliberately lured him over to escape, but he had never seen the fox again, and only heard five gunshots.
Five rapid-fire shots in a row.
Then, it's the roar of the black bear!
Hunter Shimizu felt sorry for the man who fired the gun in his heart - he heard that the five gunshots were also the sound of the Tomosaka Type 97 rifle, the Type 97 rifle had a magazine capacity of only five rounds, although it was not very troublesome to reload, but it was in normal times. It is a fantasy to reload your rifle in front of a bear - unless you have a very steady hand and the bear must be far enough away from you - the best thing to do is to find a tree to climb up and settle down to load it - otherwise the hunter will become the prey of the black bear at that time.
Qing Shui Pulse hurried over, hoping that he would be in time.
It was the first time he had seen such a big black bear, more than two meters tall when it stood up, and the white crescent on its chest was long and wide. And the man who shot was indeed on the tree, but unfortunately his hand was still shaking so badly that he dropped the bullet bag under the tree!
Qing Shui Pulse was so close that he was only ten meters away from the bear before firing the gun - he was downwind, and he moved very lightly. After dealing with foxes and ferrets for so many years, he himself is as light as a ferret.
His first shot hit the bear in the left eye, and the roar of the black bear really scared him. But his hand did not tremble, and he leaned against a large tree and quickly pulled the bolt of the gun—unshelled and loaded. As the bear turned his head in the direction of the gunshot, his second shot hit the bear in the right eye, and the 6.5 mm bullet created a huge cavity in the bear's skull, knocking its brain tissue to pieces. However, the bear still pounced with its claws and continued to roar.
Qing Shui didn't shoot again, and he saw that although the black bear's body was covered in blood, there were only two wounds on the eyes in total. So, it was still a good skin, a whole black bear skin that he had never dreamed of - he couldn't make any more holes in this precious black bear skin.
The black bear was coming straight at him, but he could see that its strength was rapidly weakening, so he decided to take a gamble and take a risk not to shoot again.
In the end, the big black bear fell precisely in front of Qing Mizu's pulse, almost touching his nose with his nose. And Mr. Nakano, who was on the tree, was very grateful and admired him so much. This is a nobleman, a baron of the Emperor's Imperial Title, and a penchant for hunting. In addition, he was a major in the Japanese Army, and was planning to recruit a group of sharpshooters to send to the Emden Sniper School in Germany to learn Western sniper courses - so Shimizu Pulse was naturally selected, and was immediately awarded the rank of second lieutenant after joining the army - these people who studied abroad represented the military might of the Great Japanese Empire, and all of them were elite infantry officers. Because he was too young, he could only be awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
He was eighteen years old.
The Japanese have the natural potential to be snipers, and they are hard-working and persevering. And Shimizu Pulse's experience as a hunter has helped him to become a good sniper - snipers and hunters are essentially the same, but their targets are slightly different.
Even the German instructor of Shimizu Pulse admitted that Second Lieutenant Shimizu Pulse was the best cadet they had ever seen, and he would definitely be the best sniper.
After Shimizu returned to China, he entered the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School -- this is the only way for Japanese Army officers to be promoted (the non-commissioned officers mentioned by the Japanese are not non-commissioned officers in our modern sense, but ordinary officers). After four years in Lu Shiming, he took the rank of lieutenant to the Guards Division as a staff officer of the headquarters - that Nakano Osa had been promoted to lieutenant general at this time, serving as the commander of the Guards Division, and he was specially transferred to his side. Of course, his main job was to accompany the division commander on hunting.
It was not until the September 18 Incident that the Kwantung Army encountered more and more blows from Chinese soldiers and civilians at Baishan and Heishui, that General Nakano recommended him to Ishihara Waner of the Kwantung Army -- snipers can make great achievements in anti-guerrilla warfare.
He didn't like to kill people and liked to live a free life - which was almost impossible in the Kwantung Army. Fate chose him to be a sniper, but he didn't like it - he just wanted to be a hunter again.
Although he never disobeyed the orders of his superiors, he never killed indiscriminately. However, he does enjoy the northeastern part of China, which has a natural environment similar to that of Hokkaido, which makes him feel at home.
After a year in combat units, he achieved a record of 100 sniper kills, and then he was transferred to the sniper school of the Kwantung Army as an instructor and rose to the rank of captain - the commanders of the combat units did not like him. It's not that he's disobedient, it's that he's too silent, neither camping nor patting horses, and not asking for credit. If such a person does not have a background, it is estimated that he will have to be a lieutenant in the field army for a lifetime.
Ishihara still took good care of him, because Ishihara himself was also called a "monster" in the army. Monsters and aliens naturally sympathize with each other. Later, Ishihara himself couldn't get along in the Kwantung Army, and no one covered Qing Shui anymore. So he was squeezed out again, and the sniper school was closed. Just when Shimizu Pulse had nowhere to go, General Nakano's help came in time, and Shimizu was transferred to the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and his rank was promoted to Shaozo. General Nakano's good friend, General Hariki, was just about to build a team to operate behind enemy lines, and he was short of manpower. Qingqi asked Nakano for help, and Nakano immediately remembered his savior.
Wearing the aura of "the number one sniper of the Kwantung Army", Shimizu Pulse Shaozo came to Shanghai and began to train personnel for Qingqi. And this time, Qingqi remembered this good card in his hand.
He decided to send Shimizu to get Stone Heart.
