Of course.
Yamazaki was the most shocked.
His position was not far from the mortar team, and for safety reasons, he was at the back.
Therefore, he had no choice.
He could see the Japanese gunner who was suddenly shot dead better than anyone else.
He was also shocked.
The scene that suddenly appeared was too terrifying. When he reacted, his pupils constricted and his scalp went numb!
Because he quickly thought of the location of the artillery. It was terrifyingly far from the 8th route.
At such a distance, it was too terrifying for the other party to have such a sharpshooter. Moreover, they had not heard any gunshots before.
Yamazaki instantly thought of a possibility-a sniper!!
From his position, he was very clear about the existence of snipers. Their empire had a few of them.
Not only was his marksmanship extremely accurate, but there were no gunshots when he fired.
Yamazaki knew how terrifying a sniper was.
That was why he instantly thought that there might be a sniper in the Eighth Route. His scalp went numb, and his pupils constricted.
However, after a while, she suddenly felt that his idea was too abrupt.
Was the previous situation an accident?
Tu Ba Road was so poor, their combat quality was so poor, and their marksmanship was terrible. How could there be such a terrifying existence like a sniper?
Moreover…
It was even more impossible for them to have a sniper rifle. There were not many such high-precision items in their empire. How could they have such a poor road?
Thinking of this, he overturned his previous thoughts even more.
He immediately used his binoculars to carefully observe the situation and see what was going on.
However, just as he was about to stand up, he stopped.
He thought of a problem. What if, what if there really was a sniper at the 8th Route?
If that was the case, if he, the commander, stood up rashly to check the situation and was locked onto by the other party, he would be the first target of the sniper.
Even a three-year-old child would understand the principle of capturing the leader first.
Thinking of this, he immediately said to the major beside him,""Go, Ono-kun, find me an ordinary soldier's uniform.”
"Hey!"
The major agreed and immediately went to look for clothes.
Very quickly.
Yamazaki changed into a normal soldier's uniform before standing up from his hiding spot and using his binoculars to check the situation.
The terrain here was very spacious. With the advantage of height, one could see almost anywhere. There were no blind spots.
The flat ground could be seen at a glance. It was impossible to hide people. He focused on a few small slopes.
There was a small slope nearby that was about 600 meters away, one that was more than 800 meters away, and another that was about a little more than 1,000 meters away.
First of all, Yamazaki focused on the small slope around 600 meters away.
If there really was a sniper in the eighth route, then the greatest possibility was that he had secretly sneaked in here.
A distance of 600 meters was already not close. Even a sniper would have to be an expert sniper to be able to accurately shoot from such a distance.
Then, he quickly confirmed that there was nothing at the small slope 600 meters away. He could rule it out.
Yamazaki started to pay attention to the small slope about 800 meters away. Soon, he still did not find anything, so he could eliminate it.
At this moment, Yamazaki was almost certain that it was a misunderstanding. He did not know why his subordinate had suddenly died, even though it was an incomprehensible accident.
From what he knew, the other small slope was more than 1000 meters away. Even a sniper could not hit it accurately at such a distance.
This was really too far!
There were too many conditions that could change the trajectory of the bullet. With so many factors, it was not something that could be solved by one person.
Although he thought so, he still looked at the small slope more than 1000 meters away out of caution.
Sure enough, he quickly confirmed that it wasn't.
"Phew…"
Yamazaki let out a sigh of relief. It was just a false alarm. He had thought too much.
Of course, there was still the last slope, which was two kilometers away.
Yamazaki had noticed that the commander of the 8th Route was at that slope.
As for the possibility of a sniper hiding at the top of the hill, that was impossible. Yamazaki would never think of that possibility.
Two kilometers? How was that possible? If he thought that, he would be laughed at.
Not to mention that he did not expect a sniper to be so far away, Yamazaki did not even order his mortar team to fire at the slope where the 8th route commander was.
Because the distance was too far, although the range of the mortar could reach 3.4 kilometers, the further the distance, the greater the error in the calculation of the gunner.
Not to mention 3.4 kilometers, even 2 kilometers was already very large. It was possible to make a difference of more than ten meters or even 30 to 40 meters.
Therefore, bombarding the commander would be a waste of artillery shells. It was a very necessary situation. He would not do such a stupid thing.
Wouldn't it be nice to cut the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army bit by bit like leeks?
After calming himself down, Yamazaki became even more meticulous. He remembered that the soldier had suddenly lost his head.
This was even more impossible for a sniper rifle to do.
It was impossible for a sniper rifle to have such a large caliber bullet for long-range sniping.
The caliber of this bullet that could blow a person's head off was much larger than the 12.5mm bullet of a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
One had to know that the Type 92 heavy machine gun's 12.5mm bullet would only cause a bloody hole the size of an egg when it hit the head. It would not explode the head!!
Yamazaki was even more certain of this. Although he didn't know the reason, it was definitely an accident.
After understanding all this, he did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately ordered the messenger,"Have the mortar team change to a rangefinder gunner and fire immediately to interfere with the progress of the enemy digging the tunnel.”
He couldn't drag it out any longer. The other party's tunnel was getting closer and closer, and time waited for no one.
"Hey!"
The messenger gave the order.
Very quickly.
In the mortar team, another Japanese soldier stood on high ground and acted as a ranged gunner!
