Chapter 0007: The Fat Man's Ambush (Part One)

The effective range of the Type 38 rifle reaches up to 600 meters. In actual combat, well-trained Japanese soldiers can shoot individual targets at a distance of 300 meters and can hit clustered targets at 700 meters, a feat that other rifles of the same class in the world cannot achieve

The Japanese army, having successfully suppressed the unrest among the captives, could hardly have imagined that a plump grim reaper was lurking in the pit, wielding a scythe and watching them.

The enemy, armed with a machine gun, quickly placed their finger on the trigger, lowered the gun's muzzle, and a trace of ferocity appeared on their expressionless face

At this moment, the emotions of the prisoners, who were being suppressed by machine gun fire, were becoming increasingly agitated. One man, wearing a military uniform with several large tears from which big clumps of cotton were protruding, and sporting a full beard, slammed his military cap down and shouted loudly: "Brothers, since we are going to die anyway at the end of the road, we might as well fight the little devils right now."

The captives who were forced to squat suddenly stood up, numbering five or six.

What talent! I was just startled by your body covered in flabby white flesh! This is the first time in my life that I've seen a man's backside, and my face is turning red. I even have the illusion that the soot on my face is about to be ignited by my increasingly warm cheeks.

Liu Lang gently caressed the cold body of the Type 38 rifle beside him, his small eyes sparkling with brilliance. He carefully loaded a bullet, which he had fiercely "gnawed" on, into the chamber.

The gun belonging to the enemy

No matter how talented the performance of the clown girl is, if it lasts more than ten minutes, the Japanese soldiers over there will notice the anomaly. Once the sound of machine guns erupts, how many enemies, like wolves sensing the smell of blood, will swarm onto the enemy's territory? Just thinking about it makes Liu Lang's whole body tremble with fat; it is definitely a rhythm that would require a re-crossing. Unfortunately, there is no legendary Moonlight Treasure Box here

Perhaps she was saying it to herself

There exists a firearm with which a well-trained veteran can hit a target's head at a distance of 300 meters, let alone Liu Lang, a special forces soldier who has undergone over ten years of rigorous training in the military

However, Liu Lang does not have to deal with just one person, but rather four. More importantly, he must eliminate the four Japanese soldiers in the shortest time possible; otherwise, he will be met with more enemies arriving in response to the commotion.

From the perspective of the vast majority of onlookers, the most elite special forces in modern times deal with those on television who can only shout and scream as if they are easily defeating the enemy, akin to cutting through melons. Once the protagonist, adorned with the halo of a hero, takes action, it is not just a matter of having a gun; even with just a stick, the enemy would have to grow into a minor character in their experience.

In addition, there must be a daily endurance training of over 30 kilometers, with the instructor determining the proportion of forced marches, which must not be less than 5 kilometers of forced march each day. The following month will involve battalion-level combat training, during which the shooting scores of the new recruits should have stabilized, with the basic requirement being to achieve a score of 80 rings with 10 shots at a distance of 400 meters.

Liu Lang's chances of success in this endeavor are less than 30%. Even though Ji Yanxue, who has witnessed Liu Lang's clean and decisive killing methods, can make her own judgment clearly, she also saw Liu Lang's chest heaving violently after successfully killing three Japanese soldiers, which was already a testament to his utmost effort

The enemy's gun is not necessarily a bad gun. Although it is outdated, it has been used by the Japanese army for forty years. Commonly known as the Type 38 rifle, it is at best a second-rate product among all the participating countries in World War II. However, when it comes to range and accuracy, the Type 38 rifle stands out as one of the best.

Without the familiar 95 assault rifle, without the 92 pistol that feels like an extension of one's arm, and without the 10 sniper rifle, which is referred to as the cannon among guns, he now has only this old gun, which has already been placed in the military museum, to rely on

Listening to the gloomy and heavy breaths of the Nationalist soldiers, Liu Lang knew that his unprecedented success rate for the surprise attack while carrying a forty-kilogram sandbag of fat had now increased to fifty percent

Although this excess flesh is not very convenient, under the cover of night, relying on the experience from a past life that far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, Liu Lang took five minutes to reach a shell hole less than ten meters away from the Japanese and Nationalist prisoners. In other words, it was just a few steps away from the noses of several Japanese soldiers, close enough that a sneeze could almost be felt as saliva.

Be careful. The voice of Ji Yanxue was so low that only she could hear it

One of the four major defeats that General Peng, who famously declared "With my sword raised, I stand tall," remained deeply troubled by in his autobiography was the Battle of Guanjiaao. Four fully equipped infantry regiments besieged a mere 500 men of the Okazaki Detachment, engaging in fierce combat for two days and nights, resulting in over a thousand casualties on their side, yet they still failed to achieve complete victory, illustrating the combat capabilities of the Japanese army.

One can understand from the training outline of Japanese soldiers in the early period of World War II that a soldier requires at least eleven months of military training before stepping onto the battlefield. The first five months of this year-long training consist of basic training for new recruits, which includes drills, bayonet training, marksmanship, and field exercises. During this period, there must be at least one five-day field exercise in severe winter conditions to train soldiers in cold endurance and night combat capabilities. The following two months focus on comprehensive individual training, emphasizing operational coordination at the squad and platoon levels. Again, there must be at least one five-day field exercise in severe winter conditions to train soldiers in cold endurance and night combat capabilities. The next two months continue with regular individual comprehensive quality training, reinforcing operational coordination at the squad and platoon levels.

"Just like that, very good, talented." Liu Lang, wearing a sergeant's uniform that had barely been stained with blood, gave a thumbs up to the young woman whose performance was outstanding, without any psychological burden. He picked up a Type 38 rifle that had fallen to the ground and carefully checked the action.

Liu Lang was certainly not arrogant enough to believe that, given his current physical condition, he could single-handedly and effortlessly eliminate four armed Japanese veterans without sustaining any injuries; however, he now had to take a risk.

Certainly, this is also the reason why the entire attention of the Japanese army was focused on the restless captives; this area is considered their occupied zone. In the face of external threats, the leaderless Japanese army ultimately became careless. Otherwise, Liu Lang would have already chosen to act from twenty meters away.

"You are all going to die, get to work!" a Japanese soldier shouted loudly, unambiguously raising his gun and aiming at the bearded man

In addition to its range, the Type 38 rifle also boasts high accuracy, utilizing a 6.5 mm semi-rimmed pointed bullet that provides a straight trajectory at a distance of 400 meters

Ji Yanxue knew what Liu Lang was about to do, which was to risk his life. The four vigilant soldiers responsible for guarding were in no way comparable to the three relaxed and unguarded beasts.

Liu Lang, completely unaware, checked the 38-type rifle in his hands, finding the magazine fully loaded with five bullets. Satisfied, he nodded slightly, tucked two bayonets behind him, and quietly circled around from the other side of the ruins

From this month, new recruits will begin training in field shooting, swimming, and enhanced close combat techniques, along with a daily march of 40 kilometers. In the following two months, they will engage in battalion and regiment-level operational coordination, advanced tactical maneuvers, and frontline mobility. Through this training, Japanese ordinary soldiers not only possess outstanding individual skills but also generally have a clear understanding of larger battle situations. This is why the Japanese army often maintains its combat effectiveness even in the absence of commanders

Otherwise, isn't that just a television drama? If the Japanese soldiers were that cowardly, from the moment the Japanese army entered Northeast China, it has been a full fourteen years, during which the entire Chinese nation has suffered nearly forty million casualties, which is an even greater humiliation to the nation. Liu Lang, who comes from a military family, never underestimates any opponent, especially considering that the Japanese soldiers, who are praised for their outstanding individual combat abilities by the old man known as the 'War General,' are formidable.

Liu Lang had excellent hearing. He turned back and gave a slight smile to the kind-hearted ugly girl, made a modern OK gesture, and quietly disappeared into the faint night.
