Chapter 455: it's really a bit embarrassing!

There aren't many buildings around the coal yard.

At the time, Geng Mingjun chose this place as the coal trading company because he also liked its relatively open terrain.

Although it doesn't sell loose coal, it's still dirty. When the wind blows, it's terrible. The sky and earth are dark.

No one wants to live next to a coal yard.

It is closer to the train station. To the west is the train station. It is less than three kilometres away.

Because the coal yard has existed for a long time, the coal dust has drifted everywhere, so the surrounding area is basically black.

Most of the flowers, plants and trees are covered in dark coal dust.

This is very different from the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the general colour is not easy to hide. It has to be black.

Chen Wen and the others looked carefully, but they didn't find it.

Zhang Yong took out a pair of binoculars and showed them, but they still didn't find the target.

However, the map showed that the target was less than 250 metres away from them. This was already a very dangerous distance. They could be shot.

Some psychopathic sharpshooters could hit their targets accurately from 250 metres away.

For example, some people are hypermetropic.

Or some people are colour-blind.

Chen Wen was a veteran colour-blind soldier. He could not tell the difference between many colours.

In daily life, colour blindness can cause a series of problems. However, on the battlefield, colour blindness is the shortcut to becoming a sniper.

Or, to put it another way, a colour-blind spotter is the perfect partner for a sniper.

A colour-blind soldier often has a very special and strange ability when it comes to distinguishing between enemy camouflage.

According to declassified information from later generations, almost no camouflage can deceive a colour-blind person.

Because your camouflage is aimed at ordinary people. It is meant to deceive the eyes of ordinary people. But the eyes of a colour-blind person are special.

A colour-blind person's ability to distinguish between black, white and grey is dozens of times that of an ordinary person.

This alone can make all camouflage invisible.

Of course, this theory is probably only known to Zhang Yong at the moment. Others may have realised it a little. But it has definitely not been summarised.

There are also some hypermetropes.

Many of these veterans of the Northeast Army are hypermetropes.

They may not realise it themselves. But Zhang Yong soon discovered it. They can only see things in the distance.

If they look at things up close, they can't see very well.

For example, when reading a book, they have to hold it further away.

In the days before scientific research, no one knew about hyperopia. But they did know about myopia. They knew they needed glasses.

The red dot is moving slowly.

But Zhang Yong and the others dare not move. They don't want to become the target.

The five veterans are lying in wait, surrounding them. They are on full alert, waiting for Zhang Yong to guide the target.

The target is still moving slowly.

Zhang Yong is trying hard to discern its movement pattern. He is looking for a key point.

Unfortunately, the terrain here is relatively open. There is no such thing as a key point. The target can move in any direction and at any angle.

I've raised the binoculars several times, but I can't see anyone.

It's as if the target has its own trench. It can always avoid my line of sight.

Very strange...

It's almost certainly someone from the Miyamoto family.

On second thought, I think it's probably someone from the Miyamoto family who's deployed. The Japanese invaders want to retaliate furiously.

How can they bear to lose so much in a row?

Since sending in the military police was ineffective, they'll send in the Miyamoto family.

As long as they can get rid of Zhang Yong.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Suddenly, the target stopped moving.

The map shows that the two sides are about 180 metres apart in a straight line. A very dangerous distance.

Whoever spots the enemy first can strike first.

However, Zhang Yong still hasn't spotted the target. He knows the target is in that position, he just can't see the person.

Not even with his eyes. Naturally, the bullets can't hit.

Damn, I wasn't prepared.

If only I had a grenade launcher. I could just lob a grenade over there.

Right, a grenade launcher...

Zhang Yong's heart stirred faintly.

His long-range marksmanship was only so-so. He wasn't qualified to engage the enemy in a sniper duel. But he could get a grenade launcher.

I can hide behind a low-lying area and, based on the location shown on the map, bombard the target with a grenade launcher. It would be best if I could kill them. Even if I can't kill them, I can force the enemy out. Then the others can shoot them dead.

It takes time to hone your marksmanship. A slight difference in distance can lead to a huge difference in outcome. Even a difference of a few centimetres can lead to a deviation.

But grenade launchers are different! You can fire grenade launchers indiscriminately. They have a strong deterrent effect.

As the saying goes, I can't improve the accuracy to 10 cm. But I can increase the power 10 times. The same effect.

That's the grenade launcher.

I don't have precise marksmanship. But I can blow things up.

The coverage radius of an ordinary grenade is more than five metres. It is lethal within a range of ten metres.

And it can shoot in a curved trajectory.

When other rifles are ineffective, I use the grenade launcher.

I'm itching to use it.

I'm eager to try it.

I really want to go and get a grenade launcher right now.

This thing is relatively common. It's very cheap, and the 29th Army is equipped with them. The 34th Division should have them too...

Finally, the Japanese invaders are on the move again.

Ah...

It's landed at the key point.

Zhang Yong has predicted in advance where it's likely to pass.

He quietly raises his hand.

Chen Wen immediately raises his gun and takes aim in advance.

That's a mound.

The Japanese invader killer climbs over it in just 0.5 seconds.

Yes, it was that short. It definitely couldn't have taken more than a second. If he hadn't aimed in advance, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.

Sure enough...

Here it comes.

The Japanese killer is jumping over the wall!

"Pang!'

The gun went off.

Chen Wen shot decisively.

Zhang Yong didn't dare to look up. He was afraid of being shot back.

If you didn't kill the target with one shot, you would definitely be counterattacked. That was the law.

So after Chen Wen fired, he also immediately bowed his head. At the same time, he rolled continuously to the side. Just to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking.

As a result...

The red dot disappeared.

Zhang Yong let out a quiet sigh of relief.

The enemy was eliminated.

It was a bit unbelievable.

Perhaps it wasn't the Miyamoto family's killer?

If it was from the Miyamoto family, it didn't seem to have been eliminated so easily.

Carefully monitor the surroundings. No other red dots were detected. So he quietly crouched down and went over. He personally inspected the corpse.

Huh?

A grenade launcher?

This enemy actually had a grenade launcher with him.

Good stuff.

Is this a gift from the sleeping pillow?

I was just thinking about getting a grenade launcher myself, and the enemy just handed it to me?

Good, good, good!

I'll take it immediately. Keep it for myself.

Unfortunately, it won't fit in my personal space. I'll have to carry it externally. But grenades are fine.

'What is it?' Cao Mengqi came to the rescue.

'A grenade launcher,' Zhang Yong replied.

'It seems to be a new version.'

'What new version?'

'Not quite the same as the ones the Japanese used before?'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong handed the grenade launcher to Cao Mengqi.

After looking at it, Cao Mengqi was sure it was a new model. Not the old one.

The old Japanese model had a maximum range of only about 300 metres. But the new model was much more powerful. It could hit targets up to 700 metres away.

Of course, after 300 metres, there was no longer any accuracy to speak of.

But it is still a very troublesome weapon.

It is more flexible than a mortar. It can be carried by a single soldier. The grenades are also light. It packs a lot of punch.

If there is a flaw, it is that it is hard to aim.

There is no sight. You have to rely on your own instincts. Whether you hit the target or miss depends on a split second.

'Can you use it?'

'No.'

'Does anyone know how?'

Zhang Yong asked everyone around him. No one answered.

Those who made eye contact with him all shook their heads to indicate that they couldn't use it. Cao Mengqi, on the other hand, said that he could use it. But he wasn't very good at it.

This weapon requires repeated training and a lot of experience. He didn't have the time.

'Then, I'll do it myself!'

Zhang Yong had to settle for second best.

It seems that this weapon is indeed quite unusual. Most people can't use it well.

Can he use it well himself? It's probably difficult too.

But it's better than nothing.

In case he really encounters a hidden Japanese soldier, he can use the grenade launcher to beat him up...

Suddenly, another red dot enters.

Hey, it really is speaking of the devil and the devil arrives!

He makes a sign.

It means that another Japanese killer is approaching.

Everyone hides in an orderly manner.

Cao Mengqi also joins the battle. This guy is just itching to fight. He grabs a handful of Mosina dry and comes up.

300 metres...

250 metres...

The Japanese soldier gradually enters range.

Then, his movement slowed to a crawl. Eventually, he lurked to around 200 metres.

No target in sight.

This guy is also a master. He hides really well.

The map shows that the target is somewhere there. But the binoculars just can't see it.

However, this time, Zhang Yong has no complaints.

He has a grenade launcher!

He can definitely hit 200 metres. Force the target out.

As long as the target shows its head, these few people on this side can fire at the same time, and there is still a chance to kill the other side.

The result...

The target continued to move slowly.

180 metres...

150 metres...

Hey, that's amazing. He's actually managed to sneak up to 150 metres away.

Inside the binoculars, I still can't see the target.

What does this mean? It means that this guy's level is even better than the last one.

Okay!

I'll greet you with the grenade launcher!

Zhang Yong crouched behind a depression and raised the grenade launcher.

Then he noticed a problem.

What angle?

How far away?

No idea.

Just a rough guess. Think it should be like this.

Insert grenade.

Where it will land for the first time, only God knows.

'Puff!'

The grenade is launched.

A faint white smoke emerges from the barrel.

Look up.

No sign of the grenade.

'Puff!'

An explosion is heard in the distance.

Nothing deafening. No boom. Just a muffled puff.

The grenade exploded on impact, and it felt like a deflating balloon.

Instead, a large cloud of black ash was blown up. The sky was full of black ash. It was all the accumulated soot.

Huh?

Did I hit it?

No. The error was more than ten metres!

An error of more than ten metres at a distance of more than one hundred metres means that the level is terrible.

If this was in the Japanese army, with this level of shooting, he would be kicked to the ground by a sergeant. And then he would be scolded for a hundred times, 'Gah'.

The target didn't move.

This means that the grenade had no effect at all.

With an error of more than ten metres, what effect could it have? It's completely negligible.

Take immediate remedial action.

How? Fire another one.

Luckily, there is a little ammunition in the space kit.

So is the grenade.

'Puff!'

Fire another one.

The grenade drops.

'Puff!'

It's still a muffled explosion.

It's mainly because there's so much coal ash on the ground. It makes the explosion sound very muffled.

But after the explosion, it looks like it's going to be very powerful. It sends black ash flying into the sky. It looks like the end of the world.

However...

It's useless...

Zhang Yong's mouth is twitching.

It's off again.

It's way off.

The error just now was more than ten metres.

Now it's more than twenty metres.

The red dot is still motionless.

It's not threatening at all.

It's just blindly thrown.

However, that's just how grenade launchers are. They have no sights. You have to rely on your feel for the weapon.

At the beginning of the war, there were many veteran Japanese soldiers. They were very accurate with the grenade launchers. The Nationalist army suffered greatly. But after 40 years, the Japanese army had lost a large number of elite soldiers, and the grenade launchers that followed were no good.

After 1944, even the Japanese commanders could no longer use the grenade launchers as their main weapon. The accuracy was just too poor. It was a complete waste of grenades.

On the contrary, the elite National Army began to massively equip itself with mortars, which overwhelmed the Japanese invaders in terms of firepower.

'Damn...'

Zhang Yong cursed under his breath.

He had never expected that this thing was so difficult to control.

Just now, he was full of enthusiasm and was ready to train himself to become an elite grenade launcher!

But there was nothing he could do.

Since he had missed. He had to fire again.

Coincidentally, there seemed to be grenades in the space with him. It looked like they could be automatically replenished after firing.

'Pop!'

The third grenade flew out of the barrel.

This time, Zhang Yong didn't even bother to see where it landed.

What the heck. Just go with the flow. Maybe if you just hit it blindly, you'll hit it. That's what happened with the 107 rocket launcher. It landed wherever it landed.

'Pop!'

The grenade exploded.

Where did it land? No idea.

A moment later, Zhang Yong saw black soot being blown up into the air. Then he realised...

Huh. It missed again.

It seems that the error was more than ten metres again. It is still no threat to the Japanese invader.

However...

Something strange happened.

The red dot suddenly began to move. And it was extremely fast.

Huh?

Why is this happening?

Did some shrapnel hit the Japanese invader? No way...

'Pop!'

'Pop!'

At this moment, the gun fired.

Not one gun. Several guns. Or rather, all the guns.

Zhang Yong immediately realised that the Japanese invader was finished.

It must have escaped.

Then everyone caught it. And then everyone shot.

In a multiple-shooter situation, even a Da Luo Jin Xian wouldn't survive.

Sure enough, soon, the red dot disappeared.

Zhang Yong: ...

Never mind. It seems like I had a little bit of credit.

If I hadn't fired grenades continuously. I don't think the Japanese killer would have escaped so easily. And then been shot dead.

Stand up.

From a distance, you can see the body of the Japanese killer.

Really, it was completely exposed.

It seems that it ran out. Trying to use speed to avoid the bullets.

As a result...

It couldn't run as fast as the bullets.

Go up.

Examine the body.

Found to have been hit by six bullets.

So tragic...

Everyone was hit.

No wonder the red dot disappeared so quickly. No wonder they died so quickly.

Hit by six bullets at the same time. It really died quickly.

Continue to examine.

There's nothing of value to be found.

The weapon is still a Type 44 rifle. It has 15 bullets. The Japanese were really stingy.

With so many assassins, they didn't even bring one extra bullet.

They deserved to be killed by snipers.

Shake your head.

Go check the impact points of the grenades.

I found three grenades, which landed in three different positions.

Intentionally or unintentionally, they form a triangle.

The error margins are all very large.

And they don't wrap the Japanese soldier in the middle.

I don't know what the Japanese soldier was so panicked about that he would recklessly come out.

Afraid of the grenade launcher's blind fire?

Afraid of being hit by the grenade for no reason?

Although the previous ones missed. But you never know, the fourth shot might hit!

This is the only explanation.

Alas...

I need to practice more in the future.

I will try to reduce the error to within ten metres.

Otherwise...

It's really a bit embarrassing!
