Chapter 35 What a ‘Passionate’ Young Man

However, Leng Feng is not a rookie on the battlefield.

After discovering that Niu Er seemed to be just firing five shots in a row to set the pace, Tang Dao, the platoon leader and instructor, did not seem to care at all, even though he was a bit shameless and turned five shots into ten shots.

He quickly reviewed whether he had misunderstood something.

Fortunately, he had a four-fold telescope, and after careful observation, he finally found Niu Er's target, a Japanese invader hiding behind a low wall.

Niu Er's five shots seemed to have no accuracy, but in fact they were all shot around the Japanese soldier hiding behind the low wall.

So, are you trying to force him out?

Leng Feng couldn't help but laugh.

New recruits are afraid of artillery, and old soldiers are afraid of guns. If it were him, if he felt that he was being targeted by a cold gunman, he would definitely rather be killed by a shell than be shot to death.

If Niu Er continued with this strategy, let alone the last five bullets, even if he was given fifty bullets, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything with the target he was targeting.

Sure enough, the recruit, whose breathing was a little heavy due to nervousness, paused for ten seconds and then fired again.

But this time, he gave up the previous target and shot at another Japanese soldier hiding behind a thick stone pillar.

The stone pillar was strong enough to withstand shrapnel and bullets, but it was not thick enough to completely cover an adult.

The feet and a small part of the body of the Japanese soldier were clearly visible in the four-fold telescope.

However, it was useless to look at it. At a distance of 350 meters, the stone pillar could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, let alone the small amount of human body exposed.

Being able to hit the stone pillar was already extremely accurate.

Niu Er's first shot was at least three or four meters away from the pillar, but it was rare. It was much stronger than he expected, at least it didn't deviate too much.

"Li Jiujin, you are a master of cold shooting. Come, come, see if you can kill that guy?" Leng Feng handed the telescope to the old soldier who was lying next to him and looking at that side intently.

The old soldier who picked up the telescope and carefully held the perforated baffle in front of the telescope caused everyone to laugh. This guy was famous for being afraid of death, and he learned this life-saving job faster than anyone else.

"What are you laughing at? Have you forgotten what the commander just said? If you want to kill the enemy, you must first learn to protect yourself to the maximum extent." The old soldier glanced at his colleagues who were laughing with great disdain, and said something convincing.

"Think about it carefully, have I killed more devils than you who are not afraid of death?"

There was a kind of pride that what I did before was actually in line with the truth of military strategists.

The laughing soldiers then found out awkwardly that it seemed that there were really few people who had higher military merits than this old oily who liked to hide and shoot at people.

Could it be that he used to live a low-key life?

This can't be! When this guy gets his salary, he either eats and drinks a lot or goes to the brothel to find his old lover. The word low-key can't be used on anyone else, not on him!

After everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, the old soldier looked into the distance with pride and found the pillar Leng Feng mentioned and the Japanese soldiers behind it.

He stared for a long time, then shook his head helplessly, "If it was 70 or 80 meters closer, I might be able to kill him, but now, it's impossible, unless you install a telescope on my rifle."

"Okay! As long as you have this confidence, when I have time, I will modify this telescope and install one on your and Niu Er's guns." Tang Dao, who was smoking leisurely, smiled slightly.

This is so pretentious that I almost believed it. Leng Feng on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Are you kidding? There are not many high-end four-fold telescopes imported from Germany even in their 88th Division. There are only two in one battalion. They are all specially approved by the division headquarters before leaving. I heard that it was hard-earned from the 523rd Regiment. You opened your mouth with your red and white teeth and dismantled this telescope. Do you believe that the battalion commander can eat you alive?

Leng Feng didn't believe it, but the old soldier did. He smiled and returned the telescope to Leng Feng, and then he replied to Tang Dao, "Sir, I'm waiting for it. With this thing to help me aim, I can kill several Japanese at this distance."

"What a promising idea!" Tang Dao shook his head. "With this, if you don't have a sniper kill record of more than 500 meters, you'd better stay at home and shoot with your sniper rifle!"

"Huh?" Ignoring the nonsense of Tang Dao and the old soldier, Leng Feng, who looked at the target again, was slightly surprised.

A cloud of smoke rose from the stone pillar, and it was obvious that Niu Er had hit it.

This, it was a coincidence! Leng Feng muttered to himself. If it was aimed and hit, Niu Er could be among the ranks of the sharpshooters of the first battalion with just this shot.

Then, Leng Feng's eyes froze, and smoke rose from the stone pillar again.

Niu Er's third shot hit the stone pillar again.

Shoot again, hit again.

The Japanese soldiers behind the stone pillar tried to shrink their bodies. Leng Feng could already imagine the despair of the Japanese soldiers behind the stone pillar. If they could hit the stone pillar, they could naturally hit him, right? Let Niu Er shoot again and again, sooner or later, he would hit his exposed body.

The Japanese soldiers were desperate, but Leng Feng knew that he had won the bet after all.

Niu Er only had one last bullet. No matter how accurate he was, he could only injure but not kill the Japanese soldier with the last shot.

At this time, the Japanese infantry guns began to counterattack.

The direct-fire 92 infantry guns were completely flat, and several consecutive balls of fire exploded more than 30 meters in front of the warehouse building.

All soldiers at all positions on the front of the warehouse could not help but shrink their bodies behind the fortifications. Many even left the sandbag fortifications piled up at the windows and hid behind the wall under the loud orders of the squad leaders.

Everyone knew that this was just a test firing of the 92 infantry gun. Soon, the Japanese army would calibrate the coordinates and pour shells on the warehouse building.

The 0.6-meter-thick concrete wall might be able to block the bombardment of the 70-caliber direct-fire gun, but the sandbag fortifications that could block heavy machine gun bullets were not. In the two-month war, I don’t know how many of their heavy machine gun fortifications were collapsed by this small-caliber artillery with a straight trajectory.

Although the wall area is larger, there is a certain probability of hitting the window, right?

Now it’s not a battle between the two armies, so there is naturally no need to guard the window.

As the infantry gun fire began to bloom on the building, the heart-wrenching hand-cranked alarm also sounded on the battlefield. The Japanese army began to retreat one by one under the cover of their own artillery.

"Platoon Leader Tang, how about this, evacuate first, and leave our bet for next time." Leng Feng looked at Niu Er who was still lying on the battle position and suggested.

"It is important to stay alive, but as a soldier, how can you hide when the enemy fire comes? When two armies face each other, the brave wins!" Tang Dao shook his head unexpectedly and said something that seemed to contradict the previous one.

Leng Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

Contradiction? It seems to be very contradictory to understand it literally, but after thinking about it, it is found that the two can be combined into one. Preserving yourself and not fearing sacrifice are both for victory. It depends on how you make a choice based on the situation.

Niu Er's gun fired.

Leng Feng raised the telescope in his hand again.

Dumbfounded!

He lost.

In the field of view of the telescope, a Japanese soldier was struggling painfully in a pool of blood, and was struggling to climb towards a stone pillar less than four meters away from him.

It seems that the stone pillar can give him enough shelter.

But obviously, there was already a stone pillar where the Japanese soldier was hiding, so there couldn't be another one. Moreover, the Japanese soldier who had been hit in the back obviously didn't live long, as could be seen from the long bloodstain left behind him.

He was definitely a passionate young man, otherwise, why would his blood flow so violently?
