Chapter 42: The Price of Remorse
"It's a sniper, and the gunner on the opposite side is a sniper." Hirata, who also became a quail, quickly found an excuse for himself, facing a sniper with such high marksmanship, it was the right solution to temporarily avoid the edge like he is now, otherwise he would only lose his life in vain like the other daredevils. And Hirata regretted it at the moment, regretting that he shouldn't have left the two mortars and shells in the truck because of the speed of travel.
But now it's too late to regret it, Hirata Cheng and they don't even have light machine guns, and they are at least 500 meters away from the mound opposite. At such a distance, even the best veterans under Hirata will not be able to accurately hit their opponents with rifles. The Japanese army could not hit Lu Yuan on the mound, but Lu Yuan, who was waiting for work, could easily use a sniper rifle to hit the Japanese army, and after three Japanese soldiers were accidentally hit by a bullet fired by Lu Yuan, Hirata finally ordered the troops to retreat under the eager gaze of his soldiers.
The Japanese army retreated, and Lu Yuan on the mound was confused at the moment, and even doubted whether the Japanese army on the other side was known as invincible in Asia. Lu Yuan had already been here for more than half an hour, and at this moment he found that the Japanese troops on the opposite side had withdrawn backwards, and Lu Yuan should immediately retreat to join the guerrillas, but Lu Yuan on the mound chased after him. At least more than 30 Japanese soldiers were killed here by him from a long distance, and the remaining Japanese troops were at least 100 in size, but Lu Yuan's pursuit was not a reckless decision, he was mainly reluctant to give up the weapons and ammunition scattered around the corpses.
The gunfire behind him did not stop because of his own order to retreat, and during the retreat, there were also soldiers who were shot and fell, but Hirata was in a slightly better mood, because they were not far from where the truck had stopped. The Japanese gunners who had been left behind with the truck began to fire, and Hirata turned around to see that a column of smoke had risen in the field hundreds of meters behind him, and Hirata, who was relieved in his heart, was weak under his feet and immediately sat down in the field.
The retreating Japanese troops suddenly opened fire, which shocked Lu Yuan, who was chasing Hirata, but when he found that the shells from the Japanese were still dozens of meters away from him, the initial panic in his heart immediately dissipated without a trace. Finding that the Japanese army had mortars, Lu Yuan, who had stopped in his tracks, immediately had a new idea, relying on the help of the all-view map, Lu Yuan, who had been wrapped in a camouflage net, quickly moved towards his flank.
Including the national army, nine out of ten of China's anti-Japanese armed forces were facing a shortage of guns and ammunition, especially the Eighth Route Army, which was not favored by the government, so Zhou Zhengwu and the others would rather exhaust themselves to death than take all the supplies removed from the train. Although Lu Yuan said that he was disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas, he had to admit in his heart that these guerrillas who could not read a single word were indeed the loveliest people in this era. Since he has this ability, Lu Yuan doesn't mind helping them, although the guerrillas equipped with mortars are still guerrillas, how can their combat effectiveness increase.
Taking down the mortars of the Japanese troops on the opposite side has become Lu Yuan's main goal at present, so he chose to make a quick detour rather than retreat. With the sound of explosions after the shells landed, columns of smoke rose in the field one after another, and Hirata Cheng, who had recovered his breath, was looking left and right with his binoculars, but he did not find the trace of the mysterious sought-after. "Yaga, he must have escaped." Hirata's heart was full of anger, the dignified infantry of the Japanese Empire was chased by a sought-after for hundreds of meters, and if this matter spread, it would definitely be a shame for his military career.
When Hirata was secretly angry, Lu Yuan, who was circling in an arc in the field, had quietly moved to a place less than 300 meters away from the Japanese truck, which was enough for Lu Yuan to use his sniper rifle to snipe at a long distance, but Lu Yuan did not choose to stop, but continued to move in the direction of the Japanese truck. Lu Yuan soon approached less than 200 meters away from the Japanese trucks, and then looked at the Japanese soldiers who were being pursued by him all the way, at least four or five hundred meters away from him.
Lu Yuan, who was lying on his stomach in the field, slowly moved to the right, and after waiting for his whole body to lie down in the pit in the field, Lu Yuan took out his sniper rifle from the storage space. It's still the Mauser caliber sniper rifle, but Lu Yuan also loaded this sniper rifle with *, and after slowly sticking the end of the sniper rifle out of the muzzle, Lu Yuan in the pit pulled the bolt and loaded it.
The Japanese troops were clearly visible from 200 meters away, and Lu Yuan could even see the mole on the face of one of the Japanese soldiers in the scope of a sniper rifle. The first person to be caught by Lu Yuan with a scope was not the Japanese artilleryman who was moving the mortar, but the Japanese driver who was hiding on the side of the truck and secretly smoking. With a soft "poof", Lu Yuan rubbed his shoulder slightly, and the bullet had already shot out of the barrel.
Without any warning, the Japanese soldier who was hiding on the side of the truck and smoking a cigarette collapsed on the back wheel of the truck with blood on his head. Lu Yuan, who succeeded in the first blow, immediately entered a state of excitement, and the few remaining bullets in the sniper rifle magazine were quickly shot out by him, and in the blink of an eye, there were only five or six of the dozen Japanese soldiers left in the Japanese truck. "Hidden, with sharpshooters." The Japanese gunners, who had just discovered the abnormality, immediately shouted and lowered their figures, but Lu Yuan, who had replaced the magazine, seized the opportunity to fire three more shots, and only the last three Japanese soldiers next to the mortar remained.
"Nani?" Hirata in the field in the distance was dumbfounded, and when he turned the telescope, he not only saw the abnormality of the truck, but also discovered Lu Yuan's location. It's just a pity that his current power is too far away from Lu Yuan, and with the 38 rifles in the hands of the soldiers around him, he can't hit Lu Yuan a few hundred meters away. Hirata was in a dilemma, and if he ordered a quick retreat to the trucks now, the mortars and the trucks would have been saved, but his soldiers would have to pay a certain amount of casualties.
But if you just watch and do nothing, the casualties of the soldiers around you can be avoided, but the trucks and mortars over there can't be saved. For the first time, Hirata regretted the decision he had made, and if he hadn't stayed on the truck, maybe he wouldn't have been as embarrassed as he is now. "Kill and give..."Stretching out his head is a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, and Hirata, who was in a dilemma, simply played a bachelor, pulled out the command knife on his waist, and was the first to howl and rush towards the truck.
Led by Hirata Cheng, more than 100 Japanese soldiers lying in the field got up to follow, because they knew that if they lost their trucks, maybe their situation would be even worse. The Japanese soldier who was originally cowering on his side suddenly seemed to be crazy, but Lu Yuan was taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately took off * and turned the muzzle of the gun, shooting continuously at Hirata and their side. The Mauser caliber rifle was different from the 38 rifle equipped by the Japanese army in terms of gunfire, and there was also a big difference in firing distance and lethal power.
How much time does it take to run 100 meters quickly? The fastest sprinter in later generations could have run under 10 seconds, but a trained soldier who ran 100 meters in full gear could take about twice as long as a sprinter. At present, in Lu Yuan's era, the Japanese soldiers, who are known as invincible in Asia, may take nearly 30 seconds to run 100 meters quickly while fully armed.
30 seconds, for many people, may be just a few blinks of their eyes and a few puffs of cigarettes, but for Lu Yuan, it is enough to fill a magazine, and there is still extra time to replace a new magazine. Lu Yuan's self-made sniper rifle uses a magazine to feed ammunition, whether it is a Mauser caliber or a Japanese-style sniper rifle, it uses a double-row short magazine with a load of 10 rounds. So Hirata Cheng, who was running fast, only heard a burst of gunfire like fried beans, and before they could react, the bullets fired by Lu Yuan had already arrived in front of them.
The Japanese soldiers running frantically fell down in a row, and the large cloud of blood mist instantly soared, and the Japanese soldiers running behind couldn't hold back and had to pick up their comrades who had fallen after being shot, but they were knocked down again by the bullets that came from the subsequent flight. The situation looked very weird, Hirata Cheng, who had been rushing to the first, was unharmed, but among the Japanese soldiers who followed him, there were people who were shot and fell down in a row, and Hirata himself even thought that this was the divine light of Amaterasu protecting him.
"Half a load..."Hirata Cheng, who was infinitely proud in his chest, seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and his face was full of excitement and sped up again, but his shouts had not dispersed, and his head fell back sharply as if he had been hit head-on, and the whole person fell heavily on his back and fell to the ground. Nakasa was shot, Nakasa was shot. The Japanese soldiers who followed Hirata shouted, and in front of everyone's eyes, a small puddle of blood instantly accumulated from under Hirata's body.
The excited Hirata Cheng was a little carried away, mistakenly thinking that he was protected by divine light, he was chiseled through the left chest by Lu Yuan's shot, and in the last little time of his life, he looked at the already delirious Hirata Cheng was actually unusually sober, and at this moment he was still regretting that he shouldn't have left the mortar here in the truck. After killing Hirata Cheng, Lu Yuan did not stop shooting, but took advantage of the panic of the Japanese army to shoot at the Japanese soldiers in the field again and again, trying to kill these Japanese soldiers as much as possible.
