Yamamoto later inquired into the details of Shadow, a middle-aged fellow who had retired from the most brutal front-line battlefields.

It is said that at one point the bodies of the two belligerents piled up in a mountain and almost perished, and in the end, only one extremely tenacious creature crawled out of the pile of dead and survived, and he was the shadow of a broken ring finger in his right hand.

It is said that this ring finger of his was interrupted in a confrontation with a top sniper, and of course, Shadow paid the price for a ring finger, but his opponent paid for his life.

Later, the Imperial military gave Shadow a medal, saying that he was old enough to choose to retire, and after retiring, the military rewarded Shadow with a lot of property.

But this guy is used to the thrilling dancing on the tightrope between life and death, and he has long been unwilling to be ordinary.

It took less than a month to squander his vast fortune on the prostitute, and the Shadow returned to the unit with the sniper rifle that had followed him for years.

Then he went around and joined Yamamoto's special team.

Because of his resume, Shadow has a transcendent status in Yamamoto's secret service, and he hardly takes anyone in his eyes except for the captain Yamamoto Kazuki.

And no one in the entire Yamamoto special forces dared to despise this middle-aged man who was missing a ring finger of his right hand and was silent.

Large clouds were blown away, obscuring the moon, which was not already bright, and the night became darker and darker......

After several stealth attempts, the Shadow had arrived at what he thought was the best sniper spot, where he had an excellent view and could see the outline of the entire front of Yang Village through the scope, including the direction of the cliff.

It was the most ordinary Chinese countryside, with many mud huts and thatched huts, and simple and backward villages without the slightest light decoration, all lonely.

Quietly, the shadow that lurked down saw the figure of the captain Yamamoto Kazuki and others, and the first battle team had successfully climbed the cliff and would soon be able to reach the top.

His gun was wrapped in a cloth, and the entire body of the gun was tightly wrapped so that no flaws were exposed, which was to prevent the gun itself from reflecting at night and arousing the vigilance of the other party.

It was because of this caution that he once plucked the head of a top opponent at the cost of just one ring finger.

At this moment, even in the barren land of the Republic of China, even if he was facing an opponent who was extremely short of ammunition, he did not relax any vigilance.

Gun.

It is a Type 97 sniper rifle designed and produced by the Japanese Empire in the 12th year of Showa.

It is developed on the basis of the Type 38 rifle, and the structure is the same as that of the Type 38 rifle, but the barrel is lengthened and thickened, and a quadruple scope is installed.

The bullet is a special 6.5×50mm reducer bullet, which completes the whole process of combustion in the chamber, and the bullet almost does not produce smoke when it flies out of the muzzle, and the sound of the gun is also greatly weakened, which can greatly avoid the exposure of snipers.

With this special bullet and superb sniping skills, coupled with a determination to die, the Shadow has quietly killed two entire enemy artillery squads on the most brutal battlefields, without even being noticed.

It's just that at this moment, for some reason, looking at the humble village, it is obviously dead and silent, but the shadow always feels that something is not right.

He even had a vague feeling of suffocation, which he was no stranger to, and he had been born when he was once aimed at the head by a top sniper, a "miraculous" instinct.

Instinctively cautious, Shadow chose to trust his instincts, and he saw through the quadruple scope that the captain's first climbing team was approaching the top of the cliff.

His sniper gaze left the direction of the cliff and slowly wandered around the perimeter.

The night was dim, and the shadow could not guarantee that he would be able to scout the surroundings clearly, but he had the ability to see the faint light reflected from the gun itself, even in the dimest moonlight, as long as there was still a drop of light, as long as the opponent's gun was not wrapped in a shroud.

soon

See!

The barrel of the gun reflecting the light came unusually abruptly, and the pupils of the shadow shrank, and then quickly regained its calm.

He was sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed a gun barrel, and only a metal barrel could reflect such a special faint light in such a moonlight.

But the stakes are very high, the most important thing for the special team to carry out the decapitation operation this time is to conceal it, and as soon as the gunshots are fired, it is exposed, and the whole operation has to be declared a failure.

The shadow stared, continuing to lock his gaze on the barrel.

He quickly made a judgment, it was definitely a barrel, judging by the diameter, it was definitely a baggage weapon, could it be a heavy machine gun?

Thinking of this, the shadow no longer dared to hesitate, the decapitation operation was indeed important, but if the special team was ambushed and destroyed, the decapitation operation would be meaningless.

Bang –

There is no other way to communicate between the Shadow and Yamamoto, and this is the fastest message that the Shadow has ever transmitted.

It is a unique sound of the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle.

Instantly breaking the dead silence of the night outside Yang Village, the strange sound of gunfire swirled and echoed among the mountains.

Yamamoto Kazuki's face changed instantly when he heard the gunshot, he knew the character of the shadow, and he would never shoot for no reason.

But the time in between was too short, and Yamamoto Kazuki didn't have time to think about it clearly, and gave the next order, and the first group to continue climbing unusually smoothly stepped on the mine that Kong Jie ordered to be planted near the top of the cliff.

Boom –

The explosions rang out five or six times, and although the timing was not uniform, the final explosions were mixed together and indistinguishable.

It's also sad to say, who made the various tactical moves of this Yamamoto special team march in unison, and even the formation of stepping on the mines was quite consistent, and the six devils of the first squad of the first combat group climbing almost stepped on the mines at the same time.

What the ghost can't think of, the devil can't think of either!

The Eighth Route Army was so cunning that it buried mines on the cliffs, and covered up the traces so exquisitely that the devils who climbed the rock didn't even notice it.

The six devils who stepped on the mine flew out directly in the violent explosion and smashed to the ground, and they didn't know whether they were killed by the mine or fell to their deaths.

In short, there was no movement immediately.

The second climbing team of the first combat group also had six people, and it was less than five meters away from the first team.

In the explosion, the shattered clods of soil fell instantly, and the second climbing team that was affected, the two devils in the middle may not be strong enough, and the strength in their hands was loosened, and they fell directly from the climbing rope.

At a height of more than ten meters, after kissing the earth passionately, he was either dead or disabled.

The other four devils of the second team held on to the climbing rope firmly, but were injured by the falling rocks.

Kazuki Yamamoto, who had an ugly face at the bottom of the cliff, instantly came back to his senses, if it was just a mine, maybe it was a trap that the enemy had planted here with caution, but there were also gunshots from the shadows behind him.

It is clear that this is not just exposed, but falls into the trap of the enemy.

What a cunning dirt road, it turns out that there has been an ambush here.

"There is an ambush, retreat!" Anyway, as soon as the explosion sounded, the special team was exposed, and the decapitation operation had to be declared a failure, and Yamamoto Kazuki gave the order without hesitation......
