I was so excited that I immediately went over, picked leaves, and stuffed them into my mouth. Because I was so excited at the time, I even forgot what the taste was in my mouth. But after chewing and swallowing for a while, I suddenly felt like my head was starting to explode. The pain was severe, and I only had one thought at the time - it's over, I might have been deceived, this might be a poisonous weed, and I would be poisoned to death. Then, my consciousness became more and more blurred, and my legs became weaker and weaker. At some point, I fainted.

When I woke up, I felt a dull pain on my face. I touched it with my hand and found that there were blood marks on my face. It must have been scratched by some animal. Fortunately, it was a skin injury. Lying on the wet ground was very uncomfortable. I I struggled to stand up. It must have been dark already, and in the dense woods, it was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

But I suddenly had a very strange feeling, which is hard to describe - it was like suddenly opening my "eyes in the sky", that is to say, I suddenly felt that I could distinguish the things around me without using my eyes. , and it is very different from what is seen with the eyes. It seems to be more penetrating and more detailed. For example, I even felt that there were monkeys not far away. And the approximate number and distance of the monkeys , I can feel it, why is this?

It was the smell that told me! My sense of smell has really become more sensitive! It was a wonderful feeling, and the world was presented to me in another way. And suddenly I felt that vision is not as important as I thought, but my sensitive sense of smell , sometimes it makes people’s understanding of the world become sharper, more precise, and more penetrating.

When walking in the dark, I can smell which roads I have just walked. Various smells permeate the air. I only need to smell carefully to roughly know the surrounding environment - whether there is water, whether there is water or not. There are no animals, and how far away these animals are from me.

With such a keen sense of smell, it was like a radar was installed in my mind. I felt ecstatic in my heart, but the smell I wanted to smell the most was not the scent of flowers or grass, but the smell of corpses!

Because, when marching in this primeval forest, corpses are the only road signs. The troops behind them adjust their marching direction along the rotten and smelly corpses left by the troops in front. So, if I can smell The smell of corpses meant that I was very close to the marching route of the troops. What frightened me was that with my keen sense of smell at the time, I could not smell the smell of corpses at all. I knew that I was really far away from the troops.

I tried hard to identify the direction. Suddenly, a familiar smell floated over, and my heart beat wildly - yes, it was the smell of people. To be precise, it was not just the smell of human body, but also the kind of mosquito repellent. The smell of water. The environment in this tropical rain forest is extremely harsh. The mosquitoes here are many times larger than normal. All kinds of clothes can kill people. There are not only mosquitoes, but also blood-sucking locusts. If you don’t apply mosquito repellent, you will Being bitten by mosquitoes, locusts, and even contracting the terrible malaria.

Based on the intensity of the smell, I judged that they were about one or two kilometers away from my location. I finally found someone! I was very excited at the time. All the fatigue and fatigue were swept away. I followed the direction of the smell. , walked quickly.

Although nothing could be seen in the dark dense forest, the various smells emanating from the front allowed me to clearly distinguish the obstacles ahead - whether they were stones, trees, or mounds of earth. Because these smells are different. , and the distance between me and these objects can be accurately determined by the strength of the smell, so even though I can’t see it, I still travel very smoothly without too many stumblings. If I didn’t have such a sensitive sense of smell, I would have been able to It is absolutely impossible to travel smoothly in this dark dense forest.

When the smell of people becomes stronger and stronger, I know that I am getting closer to them, and I become more and more excited inside, like a lost child who suddenly finds home. I will immediately

I was able to return to the army and see my brothers. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, which made me excited - what if these people are Japanese soldiers?

Yes, what if the people I followed the scent to find were Japanese? Wouldn't that mean they were sent to their doorsteps to die?

And if they were soldiers from our army, they should be on our army’s marching route. So many people died on our marching route, how could there not be the smell of corpses? Fortunately, I didn’t rush there.

When I felt that I was about tens of meters away from those people, I was already sure that those people must be Japanese! - Because Japan has the unique smell of sake and rice balls. Fighting against the Japanese is so difficult

Over a long period of time, of course, there were also trophies seized from the Japanese army, including sake. I know how they brewed that kind of wine. Anyway, the taste is very different from our Chinese wine.

These must be Japanese scouts, responsible for detecting the location and direction of the Chinese troops. Such scouts are a huge threat to an army, because once they know your specific location and direction of travel, they will be very passive.

Especially our troops, which had already suffered great wear and tear in the harsh natural environment of Savage Mountain. Let alone fighting, it was almost difficult to walk. A large part of the soldiers had completely lost their combat capabilities. If the troops continue to

If discovered by these Japanese scouts, the consequences would be disastrous.

I made up my mind at that time to kill these Japanese scouts, and kill them all without leaving a trace, but I knew that the military quality of the Japanese army - objectively speaking - was very high. When I was studying at the Army Military Academy, a professional

American experts who have studied the Japanese army once told us that the military quality of the Japanese army, not to mention other aspects, just speaking of marksmanship, is very impressive. The instructor also told us a real combat example.

It was the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. A battalion of Chinese troops set up an ambush in the ancient city of Laiwu, preparing to annihilate a Japanese squad. As soon as the Japanese troops entered the encirclement, the battalion commander Hu Nianyun immediately blew a whistle and more than 200 guns opened fire. The powerful firepower overwhelmed the Japanese troops.

He was suppressed on the ground and couldn't raise his head.

During the entire battle, the Japanese army only had the chance to fire back once.

In this battle, we had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, firepower, and terrain, and we completely wiped out the Japanese army. The Japanese army only fired one shot. Ordinarily, we should have won a complete victory. But it was the only shot fired by the Japanese.

, and hit the battalion commander Hu Nianyun!

How come the Japanese army's marksmanship is so accurate? There is a reason for this.

There is a Japanese writer named Gomikawa Junpei. He was once a soldier of the Japanese Kwantung Army - the Japanese army that invaded Northeast my country during the September 18th Incident. In his book "The Fictional Day", he disclosed: During shooting training, the requirements are extremely high: when shooting an ambush target 300 meters away (shaped like a human head and shoulders crawling on the ground, completely imitating the actual battlefield scene), not only are all five bullets required to hit the target, but also at least Three rounds should be concentrated in an area as big as a fist.

This is not training for specialized snipers, but just shooting training for ordinary soldiers. It is so rigorous. However, after reaching this level, it is not yet qualified, and there will be more difficult ones later.

I still clearly remember that the American instructor at the time specifically told us: "In actual combat, the situation is complicated, and it is impossible to give you enough time to raise the gun, aim, and pull the trigger like on the shooting range."

To pull the trigger, reality changes rapidly. Sometimes you must be able to complete all the actions from pulling out the gun, raising the gun, and shooting within one second. If you can't do it, you will probably pay the price with your life."

Therefore, if you want your marksmanship to be truly useful in actual combat, it is not enough just to hit a stationary target. You must train to react quickly in various changing situations, and accurately judge and shoot in the midst of movement and changes.

Hit the target. On the battlefield, actually shooting a living person is not the same thing as shooting a target in a shooting competition.

The Japanese army simulated this actual combat scenario during shooting training. Their shooting training was generally divided into three stages:

It is required to hit a target that suddenly appears 300 meters away within 4 seconds;

After reaching the target, shorten the time to two seconds and complete this series of actions;

After you have done this, put on a gas mask and run 30 meters quickly before shooting. This will be more difficult, because the violent breathing and heartbeat, as well as the state of the muscles, will seriously affect the accuracy of shooting.

Gomi Kawajun was once stuck at this level and couldn't get over it, so the squad leader and some veterans often tried to beat him: "If you can't hit, you won't be allowed to eat!" After such rigorous training, almost everyone in the Japanese army has reached the level of a sniper.

level.

I know that the Japanese scouts I met were trained in this way, and they are much better than ordinary Japanese soldiers, because only the elite among the soldiers can serve as scouts.

I really wanted to pick up the Thompson submachine gun in my hand, shoot at the birds randomly, sweep through them, and wipe out all these naughty little Japanese. That would be so happy, but I controlled my impulse, because on the battlefield

The most taboo is this kind of hot-headed recklessness. I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down my racing heart, so that I could calm down my hot-headed mind as soon as possible.

I knew that the first thing I had to do was to determine the number and location of these Japanese soldiers.

In the dark night, it is more beneficial to me, because I can roughly judge their location without relying on vision, but the specific number of people is difficult to determine, not to mention at night, even in the daytime, I can see them from a few meters away

In a dense forest where you can't see each other, the role of vision becomes very limited.

I twitched my nose gently like a dog, took a few deep breaths, and tried to identify where the smell of the Japanese soldiers was emanating from.

After smelling and smelling, I found that they were not on the ground at all, but in the trees, because the smell was obviously coming down from the trees. I didn't believe it at the time, and I thought it was because of the wind direction, etc., that I could judge by smell.
