Chapter 78 Cold Gun King Xikui!
April 27.

evening.

and county.

More than 60 kilometers away from Yangquan, a county town controlled by the Japanese.

"Nishino Squadron has entered the city."

With the help of the moonlight, Liu Shun saw the Japanese Xiye Squadron filing into the city not far away.

"Oh, the little devil is quite vigilant."

Thanks to the no-load march, the mules were also fed with concentrated feed such as corn, and the load was only about 35 kilograms. The two arrived at He County two hours early.

The two first found a hidden location, settled the mules, and then followed the direction of Xiyang in Hexian County to find the target of the mission, the Nishino Squadron.

An hour ago, the Nishino Squadron was found on the road between Xiyang and He County.

Beyond their expectations,

The Japanese's Nishino Squadron, with only more than 200 people, actually pulled out a team of more than 800 meters, and sent advanced soldiers to both wings. When passing through a dangerous section where ambush could easily be set up, they first stopped marching, and then sent advanced soldiers to spread out to one kilometer on both wings. will continue to move forward.

Very rare caution.

"hehe··"

Wang Xikui sneered.

It is said that the Japanese warriors are brave and not afraid of death, but after fighting with the Japanese for three years, Wang Xikui has seen many Japanese who surrendered and were afraid of death.

"Go and rest first, and we'll start again tomorrow."

Seeing the last Japanese enter He County, Wang Xikui took Liu Shun to find a place to rest.

In April in Shanxi, the white snow all over the land has dissipated, revealing the loess all over the mountains and plains. However, it is still chilly at night. Fortunately, the temperature will not drop to zero.

The army's winter uniforms were enough to keep them warm. Wrapped in blankets, the two found a bush and had a good sleep.

···
that night.

Xiaoao Village.

Liao County County Brigade Station.

Xu Huzhi returned from Yangcun, where the Independent Regiment was stationed, with a county brigade transport team formed from surrounding fellow villagers. There were [-] kilograms of grain and [-] kilograms of pig suet on the backs of mules and donkeys.

On the way back, vice-captain Wu Wenkai’s smile never stopped.

In the county brigade, he was responsible for recording grain consumption.

Although the form was clearly organized and very easy to fill out, and his educational level was pretty good, it still cost him a lot of thought.

Every night, I was scratching my head to fill in forms and statistics, for fear of making a mistake in a pound of food or wasting a grain of food.

His efforts were not in vain.

This time to collect grain, the Liao County County Brigade not only received [-] kilograms of grain as expected, but also received [-] kilograms of pig suet because of his very good statistics.

For every ten pounds of grain, there is one pound of suet.

Other troops, including the main regiment, the New Regiment, also received only twenty kilograms of grain and one kilogram of suet.

Some troops, such as the 772nd Regiment, only received fifty kilograms of grain and one kilogram of suet because they failed to fill in the statistical forms.

Some troops even were criticized by the brigade headquarters for fabricating statistics and wasting food, not even getting a pound of suet.

When he thought that three thousand kilograms of pork suet was the result of his hard work, Wu Wenkai felt very fulfilled and became more determined to abide by the material management regulations and make detailed statistics and records of every kilogram of grain consumption.

"Wenkai."

After returning to Xiaoaogou Village, Xu Hu called Wu Wenkai directly and said:
"You arrange for people to send food to the families of the fallen comrades."

"Pay attention to registration."

"Yes!"

Wu Wenkai stood at attention and saluted.

Yes.

Taiyue Military Region has issued a new policy.

Families whose family members died in the Eighth Route Army or were seriously injured or disabled can apply for food subsidies.

The specific quantity depends on the number of people in the family.

Since the establishment of the Liao County Brigade, more than 50 comrades have died in the struggle against the Japanese. Coupled with the recent general reduction in grain production around Liao County, each comrade who died can receive [-] kilograms of grain and [-] kilograms of pigs at home. suet.

"Forget it, you should distribute it yourself."

Xu Hu was worried and decided to let Wu Wenkai distribute the money in person.

"Yes!"

Wu Wenkai also had this intention.

···
the next day.
before dawn.

Wang Xikui and Liu Shun got up amid a few rooster crows.

"You little brat raised on dog food."

As soon as Wang Xikui woke up, he cursed at the Japanese.

Wang Xikui is from Yangquan and came to He County five years ago, also in late April.

At that time, although the people around us were suffering at home, most people were living a good life. The most obvious thing was the constant sound of roosters crowing in the morning.

Unlike now, there are only a few sporadic sounds.

"Let's go kill the Japanese."

Liu Shun picked up his submachine gun.

"Let's go kill the Japanese."

Wang Xikui also picked up his 98k with a sniper scope.

The two men first marched quickly, arrived at a pre-prepared position, and hid the mules and horses. Although the mules and horses supported by the group leader's friends were strong and had sufficient endurance, and were easy to handle, they were not horses after all, and they could not run as fast as humans.

The two then took their equipment and found the Nishino Squadron on the road.

At this time, the Nishino Squadron was still very vigilant. More than 200 Japanese soldiers had drawn out a team of more than 800 meters, and the leading soldiers at the front, left, and right also spread out several hundred meters.Those who didn't know, thought it was the Japanese army coming.

But it also made the Japs somewhat sparse, especially the leading soldiers on both wings.

"On the left, two Japanese soldiers."

Liu Shun was the observer and first selected a suitable target:

"It's 350 meters away from us and there are no other Japanese around."

"The nearest group of Japanese soldiers is 300 meters away, on the left front of this group of Japanese soldiers."

Liu Shun accurately marked the location of the Japanese.

It is not easy to take a cold shot at the Japanese.

The Japs' marksmanship was not bad, and the road from He County to Liao County lacked dense woods and there were almost no suitable places to hide. Once a gun was fired, the Japs would inevitably fight back.

In the past, cold guns against the Japanese were often pursued by the Japanese, and many veterans never came back.

But that was in the past.

Crouching under a soil slope, with half of his head exposed and his cheek pressed against the butt of the gun, Wang Xikui opened the scope cover and placed the crosshair close to one of the two Japs selected by Liu Shun.

In the past, the army lacked bullets and guns, and the quality of the guns and bullets was also poor. Even the veterans' marksmanship was not much better.

At that time, even if it was him, his shooting accuracy was only the same from 200 meters away.

Many times, if you hit, you can only get injured or even scratch the skin.

In order to hit and kill the Japanese as much as possible, the cold-shooting soldiers would choose to shoot at a distance of about 200 meters, or even within 150 meters, even if their superiors strictly required them to shoot from a safe distance.

Because of this distance, a warrior with good marksmanship can basically kill him with one shot.

But at a distance of 150 meters, as long as a gun is fired, the Japs will definitely find the gunman's position, and then a bunch of Japs will surround him, chasing more people than others, outflanking and pursuing them, and shooting to interfere with the suppression.

Even small cannons were used.

Even if you prepare your retreat route in advance, you may not be able to escape.

But...

"Snapped··"

Wang Xikui's gun fired.

A 7.92mm pointed bullet accurately hit the Japanese soldier's head 350 meters away.

Through the scope, Wang Xikui even saw the blown-out brains of the Japanese soldier, which were all white.

With a new gun, new bullets, especially this scope, and more than 1000 rounds of bullets fed at the independent regiment training ground, Wang Xikui was able to hit any target 500 meters away with his first shot.

Even if there is no wind, 700 meters is fine.

Wang Xikui had an intuition in his heart that if he was given some time, he would be able to kill him with one shot even at 800 meters.

You know, at a distance of 800 meters, the bullet's travel is already the size of a human target.

"Snapped··"

The first shot killed a Japs, and Wang Xikui planned to kill the second Japs.

But the Japs reacted very quickly. The moment the first Japs brain exploded, he rolled over and hid beside a ditch. Although Wang Xikui moved quickly, loading the gun and aiming were still not as good as the Japs' avoidance.

Finally, the bullet grazed the devil's ear.

"Walk··"

The second shot missed, and Wang Xikui didn't regret it. He picked up the 98K and ran along a ditch away from the road.

Liu Shun also followed closely behind.

Both of them were lightly armed, carrying no other baggage except for a gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition. They ran as fast as they could, and by the time the Japanese reacted, the two of them had already run more than 100 meters away.

clap clap

The surrounding soldiers and Japanese soldiers fired a few shots randomly, and when they were about to give chase, they were called back by the squadron leader.

"return."

When he learned that a reconnaissance soldier had been shot dead by the Eighth Route Army, Old Man Nishino turned pale.

However, after reading the battle reports of the previous two attacks, he did not dare to pursue them. He was afraid that it was Tubalu's plan to lure the enemy deeper, so he could only change the formation of the leading soldiers to groups of four to five and shorten the distance with his own team.

But he clearly misjudged the situation.

However, Wang Xikui was always following the Xiye Squadron like an old wolf.

An hour later, Wang Xikui, who was lurking on a mountainside, took action again and killed a Japanese soldier at a distance of 450 meters.And he was very cunning and did not retreat immediately. Instead, he changed his position and killed one of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who surrounded him before escaping.

I really want to chase.

But I didn’t dare to chase him.

Nishino was so angry that he yelled. In the end, he had no choice but to adjust the external alert again and collect the top soldiers into his own team. He would only send out the top soldiers to search when passing through areas where it was easy to set up ambushes.

Then again an hour later.

Wang Xikui took action again, this time firing from a distance of 500 meters from the main Japs team. One shot hit the head of the Japs squad leader at the end of the Japs team, and he leisurely fired four more shots, killing two more Japs and wounding one.

Because the Japanese troops were dispersed, after all, only 200 people spread out a line of 800 meters, and they were slow to react. Before the Japanese soldiers could react, Wang Xikui had already easily escaped by taking advantage of the terrain.

"idiot!"

Six soldiers were smashed to pieces in a row, and one soldier was seriously injured. However, our own side did not even touch the shadow of the enemy, which made Nishino scream in anger.

However, after being incompetent and furious, Nishino could only change the formation of the troops. He did not dare to concentrate the formation, so he ordered the squadron to assemble and march in small units, and sent some Japanese soldiers with good marksmanship to search covertly around the squadron.

However, it is reasonable to face the organization.

An observer, a sniper team.

As well as Wang Xikui and Liu Shun's familiarity with the surrounding terrain, the little Japs sent out by Nishino to search in secret not only failed to find Wang Xikui, but were killed one more time.

In the end, Old Japanese Nishino became honest and calmly ordered the whole squadron of exactly 700 locust troops to be divided into three queues and pulled out a team of more than [-] meters to continue marching.

When Wang Xikui saw that the Japanese marched honestly according to the marching formation prescribed by the regiment leader, he stopped taking action and continued to follow the Japanese.
