Features: 2006 Original Online Military Novel! This should be considered a unique work commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War. Xiao Jianyang, a sniper, one person, one gun, silent, precise, calm, aloof, mysterious, with a touch of heroism. I feel more like a cool-level assassin, and a stylish one with a strong personality. Look at his style of killing: "Before shooting, he habitually brings his right hand to his mouth, gently blows on the index finger, and then calmly places the finger on the cold trigger." However, the scope of this assassin's activities has been shifted to the Anti-Japanese War battlefield. The storyline is simple but gripping, drawing readers in one after another, making it an attractive work. Moreover, the book incorporates a lot of military knowledge, showing that the author is indeed a military enthusiast, otherwise, the detailed descriptions of various firearms and ammunition would not be so professional.
Set against the backdrop of real historical events, the book uses the realistic writing style of "Trench Reality" to recreate the fierce and tragic aspects of the Great Anti-Japanese War from the perspective of an ordinary soldier. The protagonist, Xiao Jianyang, was originally the descendant of a hunter in Northeast China, growing up with a hunting rifle and honing a skillful marksmanship. After the "September 18th Incident," he joined the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army with his father. When the Volunteer Army failed, he fled into the interior and joined an Anti-Japanese unit. During the Shanghai-Burma Campaign, to avenge the death of his company commander, he infiltrated the enemy lines alone, killing 17 Japanese soldiers in a row with just 22 rounds of ammunition, and then escaped unharmed. After the Shanghai-Burma Campaign ended, Xiao Jianyang joined his unit in the brutal Battle of Nanjing. On the banks of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, he witnessed the Japanese massacre of Chinese civilians, deeply enraged by the atrocities committed by the Japanese. He shouldered his beloved rifle and resolutely returned to Nanjing, determined to avenge his fallen compatriots with his own ammunition.
