Chapter 71 Highlands
Brothers, you are sacrificing the appetite of soldiers? Last night, I saw this book fall from the recommendation list. I thought I might not need the third update today. I didn’t expect that when I woke up, I was on the list again. Should I fall out when the soldiers finished the third update? I squeezed in when I was about to update.
Haha, just kidding, the soldiers also hope that the third update will make the brothers feel better.
However, everyone has also seen that soldiers are more serious in writing books, and they are more sure of both conception, text and even typos, especially without water. In this way, the typos will definitely be slow. If others can code three or four thousand in an hour, I can only code more than one thousand.
The speed is more than one thousand per hour, brothers, six thousand words, soldiers have to work hard all day. I hope brothers will support you more
Although the Japanese army's forces on the high ground were as empty as Zhang Chi and others expected, the war was not as smooth as imagined.
There are two main reasons:
First, the Japanese army was very clever in building positions. They flexibly used the ridgeline of the mountain to build positions, which was actually an advantage of condescending combat. The ridgeline of the mountain refers to the dividing line between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain. Simply put, it is located at a special location on the top of the mountain. There, the Japanese can see the situation at the foot of the mountain with just a little stretching their heads, and they disappear when they shrink.
The advantage of this terrain is that the Japanese stretched their heads and shot them at the fastest speed. After shooting, they immediately retracted their heads and moved their positions. However, our soldiers were unable to defend themselves. They clearly saw the Japanese poking their heads out to shoot, but when we raised our guns and aimed at them, he retracted his heads.
What made the soldiers even more angry was that they had heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, etc. but they couldn't use it.
This is not to say that the tank gun has insufficient elevation angle. It is not difficult to solve the problem of insufficient elevation angle. You just need to drive the tank on an inclined surface and raise the tank's head high against the top of the mountain.
But the problem is that the Japanese mountain top position is located at the edge of the mountain. The shells in this area are difficult to hit. This is not only because the position on the top of the mountain is small, but also because the edge is like a blade. If you aim a little higher, the shells will fly over the target's head.
The machine gun was somewhat useful. More than ten heavy machine guns hit the target, making the dust fly around, but the flying dust just happened to be the cover of the Japanese army. They still poked their heads out again and again to shoot at our army, and occasionally threw out a few grenades.
On the other hand, it is the military quality of the Japanese army.
There is no need to say more about this. If it weren't for the good military quality, the Japanese army on the top of the mountain would have been scared and fled because of the Japanese defeat at the foot of the mountain. According to the US military, if a unit suffered more than 50% casualties, then the unit would basically lose its combat effectiveness because it had no will to fight.
However, the Japanese army is now almost wiped out the main force, and there are only 20 or 30 people on the top of the mountain. They can still fight so in an orderly manner. They poke their heads out and knock the Expeditionary Army soldiers to the ground with one shot at a time. This is a bit admirable.
However, the Japanese army ultimately failed to stop the advance of the engineering regiment because the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand played a role at this time.
"Bang", with the recoil coming from the shoulder, a bullet was shot out from Zhang Chi's rifle.
In the scope, Zhang Chi clearly saw a Japanese army's head explode like a watermelon, and the blood that was soaring out looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
At the last moment, a trace of surprise flashed in the Japanese army's eyes. Perhaps he didn't understand how Zhang Chi could fire a bullet when he just poked his head out.
This is actually not surprising. Zhang Chi did not react so quickly. He just aimed at this part in advance and waited quietly, waiting for him to pull the trigger when his head emerged.
"Bang" Another bullet flew out, and another Japanese army was knocked to the ground.
The trick here is actually very simple, that is, Zhang Chi can calculate the time interval and distance when the Japanese army emerged from their heads.
Time is the time when the Japanese army reloaded it after firing a bullet.
Because there are many middle-aged people charging towards the high ground, the Japanese army dare not waste even a little time, so they can only repeatedly emerge at the fastest speed, fire, shrink their heads, unlock the locked bolt, and then shoot. Because the Japanese army is very skillful in operation and very skillful in movement, the time intervals for the heads to emerge are almost the same.
After mastering the law of time, the distance is actually the length of the Japanese army running in the trenches during this period.
"Bang" Another bullet knocked a Japanese army to the ground.
The Japanese's heads are sometimes just a stubborn mind. Under this kind of stubborn thinking, their behaviors and actions can easily form a pattern unconsciously, just like their tactic of using the top of the mountain to shoot, but they still don't know how to change until then.
When the fourth Japanese army was knocked down in the trenches by Zhang Chi, the Japanese army finally realized something.
But in fact, even if they realize that the error is, it will have no effect, because the solution to this problem is to extend the time to protrude the head and make the shooting frequency irregular.
However, if they really did this, they would indeed have the possibility of avoiding Zhang Chi's sniper, but because of the decrease in frequency, they could not stop hundreds of middle-aged people charging towards the top of the mountain.
At that moment, the Japanese army suddenly realized that their failure was inevitable, so they chose to give up.
Of course, the Japanese army's abandonment did not mean escape or surrender. Their abandonment refers to the choice to be loyal to the emperor.
So Zhang Chi saw a strange scene: Some Japanese soldiers were ignoring themselves and fired wildly at the middle-aged people rushing up with machine guns, some Japanese soldiers were yelling with bayonets, and some Japanese soldiers were rolling down with bags that ignited the fuse.
Of course, there were not many of them who could succeed. The heavy machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles quickly turned the Japanese troops into sieves, with the exception of the Japanese troops rolling down with their bags, because the part he chose was so steep that he still rolled on the inclined surface, until the bag exploded and raised a piece of gravel and corpses shot at the soldiers who were charging.
But this only slowed down the charge of the soldiers. Soon the soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain with cheers, and a burst of guns attacked the Japanese troops who were still rushing upwards on another incline.
"Oh my goodness they really fought." Slim, who was on the second line, put down his telescope incredibly: "A engineer regiment has ten times more troops than theirs. After fighting for a few days, they failed. They only took half an hour."
"Fuck it," Andy cursed, obviously very upset about the victory of the Chinese.
"Note your words, Colonel" Slim looked at Andy with some dissatisfaction: "You should respect our allies, especially when they use their bravery and lives to rescue our surrounded troops in Ren'an-Kang, unless you don't want them to break through."
"No, General" Andy hurriedly replied: "Of course I hope they break through"
"Well," Slim nodded: "Then let's cooperate with the Chinese to meet all their requirements. They may be Ren'an-Kang's only hope."
