Yue Weihan turned back to Liu Tiezhu and said, "Zhuzhu, why don't you leave?"
Liu Tiezhu stiffened his neck and said, "Barracks, I am your guard platoon leader. I will be wherever you are."
Yue Weihan originally wanted to drive Liu Tiezhu back, but he gave up after seeing his resolute expression. Next to him, Hua Hanlin said again: "Yingzhu, what should we do now?"
Yue Weihan said: "Find a hidden location and build the fortifications while it's still dark."
It took less than half an hour for the three people to find an excellent sniping position on the side of the short hill facing the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. There was a ridge there, and the ridge was covered with thick wormwood.
There are actually two depressions under the wormwood bushes, which are just right for snipers to hide. Moreover, these two depressions are relatively close to the edge of the sill, with a wide field of vision and good shooting range.
Yue Weihan asked Liu Tiezhu to go to a nearby village to collect dry food and water, and then come back after dark tomorrow.
Sniping is a hard job, and it requires patience. In order to hold the target, you sometimes have to squat for several days. If you don't prepare enough dry food and water in advance, isn't it a joke?
Then, Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin began to disguise the sniper spot.
Disguise is a technical job, but it is not a problem for Yue Weihan. In his previous life, he worked as a mercenary for more than ten years, and he is a master of disguise. Whether it is desert terrain, jungle terrain, or hilly terrain, he
It can look fake and fake, and unless you are a top scout, it will be difficult to find any flaws.
Pretending to be well disguised, the eastern skyline has slightly revealed its fish-belly white color.
Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin carefully checked around the sniper fortification several times until they were sure that no traces were left. Then the two quietly got into the fortification and began a long and lonely wait.
…………
Yue Weihan's judgment was very correct. In front of him was indeed the temporary headquarters of Asaka Miyakohiko, the new commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai. Asaka Miyakohiko was born in the Japanese royal family and his status was extremely noble. Asaka Palace was the palace title given to him by Emperor Akihito.
This little devil is one of the few professional soldiers among the Japanese royal family.
Since the Japanese front was advancing rapidly, and the headquarters of the dispatched troops could move forward at any time, Asaka Palace Jiuhiko did not set up his temporary headquarters in Kunshan City, but set it up in a suitable area next to the railway line.
On open ground, safety is ensured and moving forward is relatively convenient.
A few days ago, the appointment order for the Japanese base camp had just been issued, and Asaka Miya Hatohiko officially succeeded Matsui Iwane as the temporary commander-in-chief of the capture of Nanjing.
Half an hour ago, Asaka Miyakohiko received a telegram from Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, commander of the Japanese 6th Division, that the 45th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division had advanced towards Nanjing City.
Nanjing, the capital of China, has officially opened its arms to the Imperial Japanese Army.
However, what Asaka Miyakohiko faced was not all exciting news. Although the Imperial Japanese Army was overwhelmingly powerful, it also faced many difficulties. The biggest difficulty was the shortage of supplies and logistical support. The shortage of ammunition could be saved.
Use it a little bit, but food is tight but you can't let the imperial warriors starve, right?
Asaka Miyakohiko pondered for a long time, and said to Major General Mamoru Iinuma, chief of staff of the Shanghai Condemnation Army: "Iinuma-kun, the food stored in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai has been exhausted, and it is impossible to transport military food from the country in a short period of time, and the imperial treasury is also in danger.
We are not well off, so it seems we can only order each division to raise food on the spot."
Major General Iinuma Mamoru frowned and said, "Your Highness, doing this will definitely seriously damage the image of the Imperial Army?"
Asaka Palace Kituhiko was not only born into the royal family, but also held the throne. Although he was not a prince, he was still a highness.
Asaka Gong Jiuyan said: "We can't care so much anymore. We can't let the warriors of the imperial army fight hungry, right?"
Major General Mamoru Iinuma insisted: "Your Highness, this also seriously conflicts with the Nanjing City strategy strategy formulated by Matsui-dono. Should I ask Matsui-dono for instructions first?"
"Asking for instructions?" Asaka Palace Jiuyan said coldly, "What are you asking for? Now I am the commander-in-chief of the attack on Nanjing!"
"Hai." Major General Iinuma Mamoru could only lower his head with his legs crossed, and then turned around to convey the order to the divisions. To be honest, Major General Iinuma Mamoru did not agree with this approach, but as Asaka Miya Hatohiko said
Yes, he is now the commander of the attack on Nanjing. He has the final say in everything. Iinuma Mamoru can only obey orders.
…………
The incubation time is always so long and difficult, but no matter how long or difficult it is, you have to endure it.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, sets in the west and rises in the east, sets in the west and rises again in the east. In the blink of an eye, two days and two nights have passed. The weather has suddenly turned colder. The temperature has dropped several degrees compared to two days ago. This man is lying in the sniper position.
It felt like lying in an ice cellar, shivering from the cold. Fortunately, there was a northwest wind, otherwise he would have been easily exposed.
Yue Weihan and Hua Hanlin lay quietly in their respective sniper positions, barely moving for two days.
Vision is the life of a sniper. Before the target appears, the sniper must not overuse his precious vision. Especially on a cold day like this, if you focus on observing the surrounding environment for a long time, it is easy to have double images. If that happens
That will seriously affect the sniper's shooting accuracy.
Therefore, Liu Tiezhu acted as a temporary observer for the two of them.
Time passed slowly in suffocating silence.
At a certain moment, Yue Weihan, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. There was an inexplicable cold flame flashing from his eyes. Liu Tiezhu, who was lying next to Yue Weihan, seemed to be aware of it and quickly raised the telescope in his hand. Because of his movements,
It was a little bigger, and the wormwood camouflage covering the body swayed slightly.
"There's a situation!" Liu Tiezhu's extremely suppressed voice suddenly sounded, "The little devils are out!"
Yue Weihan slightly moved his fingers, which were stiff from the cold, and asked, "How many little devils are there?"
"So many." Liu Tiezhu's voice sounded slightly trembling, "It's such a big formation, with an armored vehicle at the beginning, followed by more than a dozen trucks, and many three-wheelers, and another armored vehicle in the middle, along the roadside on both sides.
, there are a lot of Japanese infantry running on the field stalks to follow, and there is an armored vehicle behind them, no!"
"Zhuzhu, what's wrong?" Hua Hanlin, who was lying not far away, also asked.
"The Japs have sent out a lot of top soldiers!" Liu Tiezhu swallowed hard and whispered, "Damn it, my eyes were a little blurry just now, and I didn't even see that the Japs' top soldiers had already secured the commanding heights within a few hundred meters on both sides of the road.
They have all been occupied, and there are still Japanese soldiers moving further to the commanding heights..."
"Hush, be silent!" Before Liu Tiezhu could finish his words, Yue Weihan forcibly interrupted him.
Liu Tiezhu swallowed the second half of the words he had already spat out. When he pricked up his ears again, he heard the sound of clattering footsteps, and the sound became louder and louder. Apparently, there was a group of people.
The Japanese soldiers moved toward the low hill where they were hiding. Liu Tiezhu's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. Could it be that the Japanese soldiers had discovered it?
Looking at Yue Weihan out of the corner of his eye, he found that the camp was still lying quietly on the spot.
For a moment, Liu Tiezhu calmed down. He looked out through the telescope and saw an armored train driving slowly from east to west on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. The chimney erected high on the locomotive pointed toward the sky.
Stream after stream of thick black smoke was sprayed out, followed immediately by a loud and long whistle.
Soon, the huge Japanese convoy had stopped at the intersection of the highway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Hundreds of well-dressed Japanese infantrymen jumped out from more than a dozen trucks, and immediately lined up like javelins to stand on both sides of the intersection.
Suddenly, Liu Tiezhu's heart skipped a beat because he saw the doors of two of the armored cars opening at the same time. A dozen Japanese officers quickly got out of the car and trotted to the last armored car.
In front of the armored car door, a Japanese officer bent down and got out, then quickly turned around and stood sideways.
Next to Liu Tiezhu, Yue Weihan's right eye suddenly narrowed, and his right index finger had quietly tightened the trigger.
Almost at the same time, Hua Hanlin, who was ambushing in another sniper position, had already pulled the trigger and held his breath.
