"Yamashita Takashi has been recalled from the front to Nanjing by Commander Isogai. He is now a celebrity. I have met him several times at officers' receptions and have talked with him a few times, so I know him a little bit.
From what I understand, Yamashita Takashi has a very proud personality. Perhaps most talented people are like this. He has a strong desire to fight, loves adventure, and likes to seek excitement.
He was quite dissatisfied with Commander Isotani for recalling him from the front-line troops. Although he knew that the military wanted to protect him, he was not satisfied with his current job of training snipers, which was quite boring for someone like him.
So I think the senior has a chance to convince him to go to Shanghai to deal with the Military Control Commission's sharpshooter. For him, facing another top sniper master, and an enemy at that, this peak showdown is both exciting and adventurous. Isn't this exactly what he has been dreaming of?
If I were him, I would agree without hesitation. Of course, this is my personal opinion, and it depends on what he thinks. "
Sato Hiroshi's introduction of Yamashita Takashi gave Takemiya Yoshio some confidence. If it was true as Sato Hiroshi said, that Yamashita Takashi was a person who liked excitement and adventure, then he had every hope of convincing Yamashita Takashi.
"Sato-kun, you're right. I think we should go see Yamashita Takashi now without further delay."
Takemiya Yoshio couldn't wait any longer.
"Senior, you are such an impatient person, are you afraid that Yamashita Takashi will fly away?
Okay, I'll go with you."
Sato Hiroshi said with a smile.
……
By the time the two of them arrived at the shooting training base by car, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Yamashita Takashi had returned to the office from the training ground. He was cleaning his sniper rifle while talking to his student Mizutani Ken.
The sniper rifle in his hand is a German-made Kar98k sniper rifle, developed and produced by the German Mauser company.
Thanks to its single-shot mechanism, it is highly reliable and accurate, using the 7.92x57mm Mauser caliber bullet, which is known for its powerful ballistics and long-range accuracy.
It was equipped with a German-made 6x optical sight, which greatly increased its effective range. It was with it that Yamashita Takashi set a record of sniping the enemy at a distance of meters.
Yamashita Takashi is 200 years old this year. It is no accident that he became a famous sniper of the Japanese army. He was a hunter before joining the army and had a high level of shooting skills. After joining the army, he killed no less than 98 officers and soldiers of the National Army at a long range with a Type rifle on the Chinese battlefield, and became famous. His superiors rewarded him with a German-made k sniper rifle, which is a reward for the best sniper and a great honor. With this gun, he shot and killed a regiment commander of the National Army at a distance of one thousand meters from the front line during the attack on Nanjing, setting a record for the longest-range sniping target in the Japanese army.
In just less than three years, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to major and was awarded the First Class Order of the Sacred Treasure by the Emperor.
Mizutani Ken is the best student in Yamashita Takashi's training class. He is very young, only in his twenties, and very talented. Under Yamashita Takashi's guidance, his performance improved by leaps and bounds in just two months, from the original 300-meter shooting accuracy to 800 meters. Therefore, Yamashita Takashi is very optimistic about him and believes that Mizutani Ken is his future successor.
Mizutani Kenya is very confident that in the near future he will be able to snipe and kill targets at 1,000 meters like his teacher and idol Yamashita Takashi, or even set a higher record.
He was very happy to receive the praise from Yamashita Takashi just now. At this moment, he looked at the German 98k sniper rifle in Yamashita Takashi's hand and said with envy:
"Teacher, when can I have a gun like this?"
Mizutani Ken was holding a Japanese Type 98 sniper rifle, which was improved from the Type . This gun was okay, but it was still inferior to the German Type k sniper rifle.
"You will have it soon. You will be returning to the army in a few days. With your ability, it will not be difficult to obtain it."
Yamashita Takashi said this in a tone full of affirmation.
"Mizutani-kun, but I also envy you for being able to go back to the front line to fight, while I live a boring life here every day. I dream of going back to the front line, that's where a sniper should be."
"Teacher, Commander Isogai asked you to come back from the front because he wanted to protect you. You are the god of sniping, and the enemy is terrified. The enemy has always wanted to kill you.
You are actually playing a bigger role here. You see, my shooting skills have improved greatly under your guidance, and other students are also making rapid progress. Let me take your place and go to the front line to kill the enemy."
Mizutani Ken knew that Yamashita Takashi was upset, but he didn't know what to say, so he just comforted Yamashita.
"I must return to the battlefield. I really can't stay here any longer. When you guys graduate, I will apply to Commander Isogai to return to the army."
Yamashita Takashi said firmly.
As the two were talking, a soldier came in and reported:
"Sir, the Special High Police are here and want to see you."
"What do the Special High Police want from me? Ask them to come to my office."
Yamashita Takashi felt very strange. He had no connection with the Special Higher Police and didn't know why he came here.
He knew what the Special High Section did, and it was bound to be bad news if they came. Could it be that there were anti-Japanese elements here? Even if there were, it was not their turn to arrest them. They would have to go through the front army headquarters.
As Yamashita Takashi was thinking, he saw two middle-aged men walk into the office one after another. He knew the man in front, he was Sato Hiroshi, the head of Nanjing Special High Section.
He and Sato Hiroshi had met several times at cocktail parties, so they were semi-acquaintances, so he smiled and said:
"Who was it? It turned out to be Section Chief Sato. What brings you here?"
Sato Hiroshi laughed and said:
"It's not my fault, Yamashita-kun. I haven't seen you for a while since the last cocktail party, so I came to see you specially."
He pointed at Takemiya Yoshio next to him and continued:
"I also brought a friend with me. He also wants to meet you, the sniper god of the empire. He came all the way from Shanghai. He is Section Chief Takemiya Yoshio of the Shanghai Special High Section."
Takemiya Yoshio smiled and said:
"I have long heard of the name of the God of Sniping. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed mighty and majestic, and his reputation is well-deserved."
Yamashita Takashi was very pleased to hear the compliment from Takemiya Yoshio.
Although Yamashita Takashi was a proud man, he was not stupid. He thought that Section Chief Takemiya had come all the way from Shanghai, probably not just to give him some compliments, but probably to ask him something.
Yamashita Takashi said very straightforwardly:
"I'm a soldier and I like to be straightforward. The two section chiefs are looking for me because of something, right? No need to play tricks, just speak directly."
