The tragic Battle of Zhejiang, which lasted more than three months, ended, and the Chinese and Japanese armies each held their own positions, and the large-scale fighting was temporarily stopped.

In this battle, although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, it finally achieved its intended goal, captured and destroyed the Chinese airfields along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway as expected, and completed the campaign objectives set by the Japanese base camp before the war, so that the Allied military operations to bomb the Japanese mainland were temporarily blocked.

In Jiangxinzhou on the Yangtze River, Xiao Xiong's Ganbei Anti-Enemy Special Forces, they received five brand-new German-made sniper rifles from the Ninth War Zone, and after being excited, Xiao Xiong and they immediately formulated a perfect battle plan. This plan had actually existed in Xiao Xiong's mind a long time ago, and he had thought it out and was already familiar with it. And the executor of this plan must be a sniper team composed of a group of top shooters.

Xiao Xiong specially convened a military meeting for this purpose, and there was only one agenda item -- to immediately select talents from the existing hunter team and set up a sniper detachment, with Li Minghua and Liu Junshan serving as the chief and deputy captains, and all its actions were directly under Xiao Xiong's orders. There are 12 members of the sniper team, and 10 members of the team are required to be selected directly in the open competition in the hunter team. The selection criteria were set by Commander Xiao Xiong, and no one else knew about it. The tournament time is set for three days later.

There are more than 100 brothers in the Hunters, and everyone is looking to be a sniper when they hear about the selection of snipers in the team. So when it comes to the competition selection, everyone is ready to show all their housekeeping skills and strive to be an enviable sniper.

A few days later, it was finally time for the jousting day.

On the morning of May 18, all the members of the Hunters gathered early on the sandbank, and they waited anxiously for Commander Xiao Xiong to announce the rules of the competition.

It had been raining heavily for several days, and it had finally stopped today, but the sky was still so overcast, and a light rain was falling from the sky, wetting the hair and clothes of the Hunter Brothers, who had been waiting for a while. However, in addition to the hunter team on Jiang Xinzhou, the brothers from other teams also rushed to hear the news. Some of them came to see the excitement, and some of them had other ideas in their hearts, that is, they also wanted to come here to try their skills. After a while, hundreds of people gathered on the sandbar, like a market, which was particularly lively.

Xiao Xiong led several officers to the playground set up on the sandbar. He stood in front of everyone with a smile on his face. Xiao Xiong took a long object from Li Minghua's hand, raised it above his head, and said:

"Brethren, do you know what I have in my hand?"

"Guns! It's a gun! ”

"Yes, this is a German-made sniper rifle! Would you like to take a look? ”

"Yes! Want to see it! ”

Everyone shouted together.

"Good! Today I will open your eyes. Minghua, you open it. ”

Li Minghua opened the delicate canvas cover, took out a newly-shiny rifle from it and handed it to Xiao Xiong. He took out a slender telescope from the holster and gave it to Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong skillfully loaded the telescope on the body of the gun, quickly put on the magazine, and then wrapped some strips of cloth around the body of the gun, and then immediately made a squatting shooting action, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the small river in front of the sandbar.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw that there were several wild ducks playing and foraging in the small river beach, which was about four or five hundred meters away. Suddenly, only a dull gunshot was heard, and all the wild ducks in the river were so frightened that they all flew up, but everyone looked closely, and there was still one left on the water.

A warrior ran over, picked up the duck from the water, picked you up high, and shouted excitedly as he ran back: "Commander, hit!" I hit a wild duck! ”

Everyone cheered loudly, "Wow! It's so godly, it's hit so far! "This gun is so good! It's amazing! ”

Xiao Xiong coughed, and everyone immediately calmed down. Xiao Xiong raised his gun and said loudly:

"Brethren! The Commander's Headquarters of the 9th Theater commended us for our battles behind enemy lines, and in particular, awarded us five German sniper rifles, which we had managed to obtain. That's remarkable! Mainly because the brothers fought bravely in Miaozhipu this time and killed a large number of devils, especially the spy team that eliminated the devils and killed the veteran spy master Abe Osa. So, the governors gave us a reward. ”

Then, Xiao Xiong walked up to the team, let all the team members look at it, and touched the shiny rifle. While everyone watched, Xiao Xiong explained to everyone over and over again.

It turned out that the Ninth Theater sent a standard weapon for German snipers this time, a 7.92 mm caliber Mauser 98K sniper rifle equipped with an optical scope, that is, a Type 98 short carbine. The Mauser 98K was the main rifle of the German army in World War II, with a built-in magazine that could be loaded with five 7.92mm Mauser rifle rounds at a time. This rifle is accurate, with a maximum ideal firing distance of up to 1,000 meters, and basically no bullets at a distance of about 500 meters.

Waiting for everyone to see and touch, Xiao Xiong took a few steps back and walked up to a small sand pile, and he shouted loudly to everyone:

"Brethren, isn't this German Mauser stick?"

"Great! That's great! ”

"Do you want it?"

"Yes! Want! Want! The players were excited and boiled like a pot.

"However, there are only 5 guns in this gun, so who am I going to give them to?"

Xiao Xiong deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head.

"To Li Minghua, he has the best marksmanship in the Einsatzgruppen!" One of the team members shouted. Other people also agreed: "Give it to Li Minghua!" Li Minghua! ”

"You can also send it to Liu Junshan! His marksmanship is also very accurate! The others shouted.

But in the back, everyone's opinions can't be unified, gossiping, and arguing non-stop.

Xiao Xiong saw that everyone's emotions were very high, and he felt that the time was ripe, he waved his hand, and the following immediately fell silent. He said solemnly:

"Brethren! I would like to report to you a piece of good news: Not long ago, US bombers bombed Tokyo, Nagasaki, and other places in Japan......

"Good! Well fried! Before Xiao Xiong finished speaking, everyone cheered.

"But, the little devil doesn't give up! They knew that the US planes were parked in Zhejiang, and just three days ago, in order to destroy these airfields that could take off and bomb the Japanese mainland, the devils began a frantic attack on the jurisdiction of the Third Theater and our Ninth Theater. Now, the battle is fierce! Let's talk about it, what should we do with the Einsatzgruppen? How can we help our brothers who are fighting? ”

"Kill Yamamoto of Dog Day!" "Bomb the little devil's train!" "Ship to blow up devils!" "Go to Yamamoto's headquarters!" Everyone was excited, and they kept shouting.

"Good! Our anti-enemy special forces in northern Jiangxi were originally troops belonging to the Ninth Theater of Operations, and now that the devils are attacking our main forces, the Theater Commander's Department has asked us to take active action, immediately plunge into the battle against the devils, and actively cooperate with the main forces in the battle. I now announce a decision: immediately set up a sniper detachment subordinate to the Hunters, with Li Minghua and Liu Junshan, the two best top marksmen of our Einsatzgruppen, as the chief and deputy captains. This sniper team is to be selected from the Hunters, but other brothers can also sign up for the selection on their own. Next, Chief of Staff Xiong Qiang will read out the rules of the competition. ”

Xiong Qiang stepped forward and read out the rules of the competition aloud:

"This selection is a killing competition that goes deep behind enemy lines, and it is a competition of skills, skills, courage, patience, and confidence. Because this time we selected a sniper who defeated the enemy with one blow on the battlefield, not a desperate Saburo. ”

Xiong Qiang paused for a moment, and then said:

"There are a lot of things to learn when a special sniper, but for future snipers, the most important thing is nothing more than the following: you must be energetic and enter the battle, you must not have any selfish thoughts, you must calm down and choose the target, do not shoot blindly, rapid fire often does not work; For a sniper, the enemy's sniper or special shooter is the biggest threat, and he must immediately change his position after shooting, otherwise he will expose himself and cause unnecessary sacrifices; It is necessary to make more use of obstacles and other obstacles to cover, cunning rabbit three holes, and find a good route for your retreat; Practice how to determine the distance, you can't choose a sniper location at will, you must become an expert in camouflage and using the terrain; Whether on the front line or in the rear, you must unremittingly practice your shooting skills, always hold your sniper rifle tightly, so that the gun does not leave the person, the person does not leave the gun, the gun is the person, the person is the gun, so that the gun and the man are one, and you must be able to fight at any time. Remember: 10x camouflage and 1x your shooting skills will make it out of the battlefield alive because you are an important sniper!

In short, calmness, self-confidence, and courage are essential qualities for a good sniper, and in order to become the king of Yama who takes the life of a little devil, you need to constantly train and accumulate experience. ”

Xiong Qiang paused for a moment and looked at everyone. At this time, the audience was surprisingly quiet, and perhaps what he said just now gave everyone a huge shock.

"Okay, now I'm announcing a few requirements, and if you meet them, please come forward. The first one, those who can carry guns, 100 rounds of ammunition, and five grenades, and swim from Jiangxinzhou to Jiujiang, please take a step forward. ”

In an uproar, about three or four hundred people took a step forward.

"If you can climb trees with your bare hands, if you can climb houses and cliffs with your bare hands, please take another step."

At this time, out of the three or four hundred people just now, only the members of the hunter team took a step forward, and the other brothers had to return to their own team in frustration. It seems that the selection and training of the Hunters team are usually in place. Xiao Xiong gave Li Minghua a thumbs up.

Xiong Qiang continued, "Now live firing will be conducted, and the 30 people with the best results will be left behind and assigned other tasks. ”

Immediately afterwards, the members of the Hunters team carried out 500-meter distance fixed target shooting, land and water moving target shooting, etc. In the end, the top 30 people stood out and were divided into three teams of 10 people.

Xiao Xiong stepped forward, looked at these team members one by one, and said:

"Now, the thirty of you can stay, which means that you are the best shooters of our Einsatzgruppen, and you will be led by Captain Wang Xiaofei, Li Minghua, and Captain Liu Junshan respectively, and the chief of staff will assign you tasks later. I give you three days to move freely. Today is May 18th, and three days later, at this time on the 22nd, we are here waiting for you to return victoriously, and then we will see who is the final winner, and who these 5 brand new German sniper rifles belong to! ”

No one thought that the Einsatzgruppen in the next three days of sniping and killing competition would finally turn Jiujiang City upside down, the Devil's Bridge on the Nanxun Line was destroyed and overturned, and the Japanese ships in the Xunyang River sank and died.
