Chapter 33

  "Someone has arrived at the gate!" The guard reported, "The person claims to be Gu Zhe."

  As soon as he heard it was Gu Zhe, Li Bin excitedly shouted: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call him in!"

  The guard went out and soon brought Xiao Bo and Liu Linhua's couple into the gate. Li Bin hurriedly stood up, taking Hong Biao to greet them. Walking into the big yard, he walked forward and held Xiao Bo's hand: "Brother Xiao, I finally waited for you!"

  Xiao Bo smiled and replied: "Haha, although I am a businessman, when the country is in danger, everyone has a responsibility to resist Japan! As long as one is a true Chinese, they should help Li Bin brothers fight against the Japanese invaders!"

  Liu Linhua added a sentence on the side: "We've all brought our guns, please go take a look! If you're satisfied, pay us, we're still waiting for this money to be used."

  "Come with me!" Xiao Bo made a beckoning gesture.

  Li Bin followed Xiao Bo to the gate, where he saw three ten-wheeled large trucks parked at the entrance. Chen Gang stood beside the vehicles with over a dozen bodyguards. Xiao Bo made a welcoming gesture: "Please, Brother Li, get on the truck and inspect the goods!"

  Li Bin smiled and said: "No need, I'll pay now. Let the brothers bring down the goods." After that, Li Bin asked Hong Biao to take people to get the money.

  When the money arrived, Li Bin opened the cash box and said to Xiao Bo: "Brother Xiao, here are 604,000 dollars and 50 gold bars, please check."

  Xiao Bo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that one joke of mine, brother you actually took it seriously! Li Bin brother, you really are a straightforward person! Good! Refreshing!"

  The soldiers who arrived in a hurry took down box after box of guns and ammunition from the car, and Li Bin asked Hong Biao to register them on the side. After all the weapons were taken down, Li Bin had someone open the wooden boxes, he counted the goods that had arrived, and found that in addition to the weapons he had ordered, there were also six of the most advanced thirty-seven heavy machine guns at the time! Moreover, the twenty German sniper rifles originally ordered also had ten more! In addition, the number of bullets was 20% more than the original order.

  Li Bin opened a box containing sniper rifles and found that, apart from the 20 Mauser 98a rifles equipped with Zeiss three-power scopes, there were also 10 additional rifles installed with more advanced four-power scopes! Moreover, after adjusting the position of the scope to be slightly left, it was possible to load five rounds into the magazine at once without having to fire one round to chamber the next. This rifle could be said to be the most advanced rifle of its time! Although it couldn't compare to the later Mauser 98k sniper rifle, being able to obtain such a rifle in this era was already a very difficult thing.

  Seeing the extra weapons, Li Bin was a bit stunned. After a while, he said in a very low voice to Xiao Bo: "Xiao Gege, I don't have that much money here. You gave me so many more weapons...I really can't afford it..."

  "Hahaha!" Xiao Bo laughed loudly, "These extra weapons are free, I'm giving them to you! It's also my contribution to the resistance against Japan!"

  Li Bin was so excited that he almost gave Xiao Bo a "bear hug", and he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much! Thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you enough."

  Xiao Bo smiled slightly: "Director Li, I've given you these extra weapons, but it's cost me my own fortune! My men and I have nowhere to go now. Will Director Li take us in?"

  This was an unexpected surprise, Li Bin had never thought that Xiao Bo, this "shrewd merchant", would be willing to give up his wealth and follow him to join the righteous army. But now, he actually took the initiative to ask to join. Such a surprise is not trivial, with Xiao Bo's powerful help, the pressure of his own work can be reduced by an unknown amount in the future.

  Then Li Bin found Huang Xiansheng and arranged a job responsible for logistics for Xiao Bo. The more than ten partners brought by Xiao Bo, including Chen Gang, were all assigned to the special forces detachment.

  After receiving the sniper rifles, Li Bin made a prompt decision and immediately allocated these rifles to the sniper students, including Huang Hua, Wu Congyu and Zheng Dalong, among thirty excellent students who received this type of rifle.

  Huang Hua, Wu Congyu and Zheng Dalong all received advanced rifles with 4x scopes. After receiving the new guns, the three of them couldn't bear to put them down, fondling them in their hands for a long time.

  "With the new guns, everyone should be satisfied now!" Li Bin said with a smile to his thirty beloved students. "However, excellent snipers are still trained through live ammunition! We don't have that many bullets to train you all! Now, I declare that we will set out to go beyond Gou Bangzi and head to the Japanese army's garrison area, where we'll use those devils' blood to hone your marksmanship!"

  Upon hearing the news, all the snipers were excited and cheered, happily jumping up and down with their rifles in hand. After being cooped up in training camp for so long, everyone had been itching to get out and kill some devils - what a delightful thing to do!

  "Great! Too great! I've been holding back this breath for a long time!"

  "Right! It's about time to come out and kill a few of those bastards as sacrifices!"

  Li Bin briefly told everyone about how to adjust the reticle on the scope, and asked them to go to the shooting range to try a few shots, get familiar with the new gun's performance. After that, he issued each sniper a Mauser pistol, preparing to lead the team out early next morning.

  The next morning, before dawn, the members of this sniper squad all wore white cloaks, rode horses, and left Jinzhou City against the biting cold wind, heading north. Along the way, in order to conserve horse power, Li Bin ordered a slow ride, and when approaching the sniping location, everyone had to dismount and walk their horses, so that after completing the raid mission, they could ensure that the war horses had enough horsepower to quickly withdraw from enemy-occupied areas.

  The vast northeastern land covered with white snow appears peaceful, but amidst this peace, a war atmosphere is revealed. Barbed wire protrudes from the snowy ground, and in the distance, watchtowers, blockhouses, and artillery emplacements hint to people that they are approaching the Japanese occupation zone.

  Li Bin and the warriors tied their war horses in a grove, then they dispersed according to Li Bin's gestures, and one by one, white figures quickly disappeared into the snowy ground.

  Thirty snipers must be dispersed, if concentrated together, not to mention easy to expose the target, just say the enemy's artillery, a shell can knock down several. According to Li Bin's requirements, thirty people each randomly find targets, with gunshots as orders, after each person fires a bullet, immediately withdraw at the fastest speed.

  Li Bin, wearing a white cloak, was only twenty meters away from the best student Huang Hua. The two were crawling slowly on the snowy ground, step by step approaching the enemy's defensive fortifications.

  When they were about 400 meters away from the enemy's defense line, Li Bin covered his head with a white cloth and picked up binoculars to observe the enemy's position in the distance. He saw a large fort standing in the distance, surrounded by five smaller forts. On the edge of the fort, some devils were hugging their guns and stomping their feet. All around, there were trenches crisscrossing each other, and in some places that were difficult to detect, there might be hidden firepower points. Near the fort, devils with live ammunition patrolled back and forth with wolf dogs, while on a small platform surrounded by trenches, 13 devils sat roasting fire and boiling water to keep warm, with Type 38 rifles and submachine guns placed aside.

  Li Bin observed for a moment, at this time he didn't need to worry about his snipers, these warriors would find their own targets. After about a minute, Huang Hua turned her head and made a gesture to Li Bin, who also responded with a gesture, indicating that she should wait for a moment. Li Bin then turned his head towards Wu Congyu's direction, seeing him wearing a white cloak, crouching about thirty meters away from himself on the left side, holding a rifle wrapped in white cloth, aiming at the front. After a few seconds, Wu Congyu also turned his head and made a gesture.

  Li Bin glanced at his watch, estimating that everyone was ready. He pulled out a Mauser pistol and fired a shot into the air, shattering the silence of the snowy plain with a crisp crack.

  At the sound of gunfire, Huang Hua was the first to pull the trigger, and a scorching bullet shot out from the muzzle. A devil 600 meters away outside the big bunker suddenly fell to the ground with his head tilted, clutching his gun and stomping his feet. The Japanese military cotton hat on his head flew out several meters away, and a pool of dirty blood splashed onto the snowy ground, dyeing it all red.

  At the same time, Wu Congyu also pulled the trigger, and a military officer wearing a Northeast Army hat had a blood arrow spurt out of his chest, and he fell backwards with a thud.

  One by one, the bullets of revenge shot out from the snipers' guns. The devils who were jumping and walking around outside the bunker, and those warming themselves by the bonfire, all fell to the ground as corpses in an instant, staining the snow beneath them a large patch of red with their filthy blood.

  Everything happened in an instant, and twenty-seven devils fell to the ground almost at the same time.

  The sound of gunfire broke the silence and startled the devils. Someone shouted, "Chinese god of guns!" The large fort, the small fort, and each hidden firepower point suddenly spat out a scarlet tongue of flame, bullets hitting the snowy ground and splashing up waves of snowflakes.
