Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 52 New Abilities
After Wang Gensheng finished describing the battle of the Independent Regiment and Yamamoto Ikki's plan to raid the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Li Xiu immediately said:

"Battalion Commander, does this mean that special forces soldiers can take the enemy commander's head amidst a vast army?"

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Wang Gensheng nodded and said:
"That's right. I hope you can become a special cavalry company like the Japanese special forces, capable of launching a surprise attack and decapitation on the Japanese headquarters, and be able to twist Shinozuka Yoshio's head off for me!"

Wang Gensheng's words were naturally understood by the cavalrymen, so they no longer resisted the rope climbing training proposed by Wang Gensheng.

···········
"How's it going? Are you familiar with this sniper rifle of the little devil?"

Hearing Wang Gensheng's question, Baili Xiu nodded confidently:

"I'm familiar with it. Captain, I tried it too, and it's just as you said. This gun's effective range is only 500 meters. Beyond that, the accuracy drops dramatically. Even though I can see targets within 1,000 meters with this 4x scope, there's no way I can snipe. Beyond 500 meters, whether I hit the target or not is completely a matter of luck!"

Wang Gensheng nodded, then said:

"Now that your wounds have healed and you're familiar with the gun, my cavalry company is almost done training, so we have to continue attacking the Japanese bunker!"

However, after hearing Wang Gensheng's words, Baili Xiu couldn't help but think of what happened last time, and then said worriedly:

"But Battalion Commander..."

Wang Gensheng saw Baili Xiu's hesitation, and before Baili Xiu could finish his words, he waved his hand and said:
"This time, we'll change our tactics. We'll go there in the early morning, before daybreak, and lurk within 150 meters of the bunker. You'll hide 500 meters away and set up your sniper rifle. Then we'll wait for daybreak. After daybreak, you'll observe if there are any Japanese machine gunners or snipers in my direction. If there are any, shoot them immediately. I'll throw grenades at you as you shoot."

That’s right, Wang Gensheng still adopted the old combat method, hiding in the early morning before dawn, outside the trench of the bunker, and then throwing grenades when he could see the firing holes of the bunker clearly at dawn.

But Baili Xiu was worried:
"But what if you miss, Captain? Then there will be no chance to retreat!"

However, Wang Gensheng said indifferently:

"Baili Xiu, we soldiers can't be afraid of death and not dare to fight. Think about it, if we don't resist, can we be worthy of our compatriots who were killed by the Japanese?"

Wang Gensheng's words made Baili Xiu stop talking. That night, after saying hello to Kong Jie, Wang Gensheng once again took Baili Xiu and Li Xiu to a Japanese bunker.

The reason why Wang Gensheng brought Li Xiu with him was because Li Xiu's unique eyes could see very far at night.

Li Xiu was able to use a telescope to see clearly what was happening inside the Japanese bunker five hundred meters away at night.

Because we were riding horses, it took less than two hours to reach the fort even though it was dozens of miles away from Wangjia Village.

Although it is at night, horses' night vision is much better than humans'. This is mainly due to the difference in the structure of horses' eyes and humans'.

Unlike humans, horses have such excellent night vision primarily because their retinas are home to a large number of rods, cells that are extremely sensitive to light and can see twice the brightness of the original light. Furthermore, a metallic film behind the retina reflects light back to the retina, further enhancing night vision. Consequently, horses' night vision is significantly better than humans'.

Wang Gensheng successfully hid at a distance of 150 meters with the camouflage grass on his body.

Then we had to wait until daybreak. In just half an hour, the sky changed from black to dark blue, then to light blue, and finally to blue-white.

At this moment, gunshots were heard. Wang Gensheng stood up and threw out the two grenades he had been holding in his hands.

boom! boom!
After two muffled sounds were heard from the bunker, everything returned to calm.

Feeling only six currents of heat flowing through his body, Wang Gensheng understood that at least half of the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were still alive. However, the shockwave from the explosion had also left them unable to fight back.

As Wang Gensheng entered, he continued to finish off the Japanese soldiers as before.

Of course, this time Wang Gensheng did not find any snipers in the Japanese bunker.

Not only that, in the next few days, Wang Gensheng would take Baili Xiu and Li Xiu to destroy a Japanese bunker every day, but unfortunately, no Japanese snipers were found.

Of course, Wang Gensheng still killed the most enemies in every captured bunker, while Baili Xiu only sniped one or two Japanese soldiers at most.

As Baili Xiu killed more and more Japanese devils, Wang Gensheng's physical fitness improved to 40%.

However, as Wang Gensheng's qualities improved more and more.

Wang Gensheng also discovered that there was a difference in his brain. To be more precise, not only his body, but also his brain had been strengthened.

First of all, Wang Gensheng’s memory is getting stronger and stronger.

For example, Wang Gensheng can memorize all the contents of a book just by taking a quick look at it.

Of course, it's not just that. As his brain becomes more and more strengthened, Wang Gensheng feels that he may have awakened his sixth sense.

That is the ability of telepathy, because Wang Gensheng can now perceive the surrounding environment without relying on his eyes.

As long as Wang Gensheng was awake, as soon as he closed his eyes, the area within a radius of 40 meters around him would automatically appear in his mind.

For example, even with his eyes closed, Wang Gensheng could move freely in a completely unfamiliar room.

This feeling is very strange, as if he has a bird's-eye view. Wang Gensheng can only attribute this situation to his ability to strengthen his physical fitness.

It strengthened Wang Gensheng's brain and the nerve cells in his brain.

Wang Gensheng knew very little about the brain before he traveled through time.

I just remember that there was a view in the past that the human brain is actually a huge treasure with great potential.

Normally, the average person's brain only utilizes less than 10% of the brain nerves.

The reason why Einstein was so smart was actually because his brain was developed to 20%, which made him so smart.

Wang Gensheng's parents and Wang Gensheng himself all firmly believe in this view.

So Wang Gensheng naturally worked very hard, but no matter how hard he tried, the harder he tried, the more drowsy his brain became. If he thought a little too complicatedly, he couldn't help wanting to sleep.

However, with the advancement of science and technology, especially the research on the brain, it has been discovered that the human brain is actually almost 100% computing.

Those smart people do not actually have fully developed brains, but their genes are born with good genes, and the number of nerves in their brains is much more than that of ordinary people.
