With a "boom", another flare was fired into the air. The snipers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, finally arrived at the time to show off their skills. With the help of the cold light of the flare, they had already moved to
The snipers on the flanks pulled the triggers one after another. The first to become targets were the Japanese machine gunners exposed to the cold light of the flares or key targets such as officers, sergeants, and corps commanders, followed by those exposed to the sniper's sight.
ordinary Japanese soldiers.
If the snipers were still using bolt-action sniper rifles, they might not pose a threat to the Japanese troops in the valley, but the sniper rifles Mike got were all Garand sniper rifles modified by the U.S. military in the Pacific Theater through actual combat.
The 8-round sniper rifle that can fire continuously is not comparable to the Japanese bolt-action 38 rifle. A crackling sound of gunfire rang out, and the Japanese soldiers under the cold light screamed and fell to the ground after being shot, waiting for the Japanese army to attack.
The guns turned around to find the target, and they fled after causing dozens of casualties to the Japanese troops in the valley.
The explosions of "Boom" and "Boom" sounded continuously, but this time the Japanese mortars hit the sniper position of Dice and them just now. Tangcheng and the others who were crouching in the trench were finally able to raise their heads and observe the movements of the Japanese army.
Tang Cheng used his binoculars to look around at the gunfire that was blooming in the darkness on the Japanese side. Compared to just now, the Japanese gunfire was much weaker, especially the Japanese machine gun fire, which was even less than half.
Tang Cheng put down his binoculars, took out a full magazine from his body and reloaded his carbine with bullets. Before he could raise the gun, Tan Fei pounced over and pulled Tang Cheng down in the trench, above his head.
The whistle sounded suddenly, and a grenade exploded at the edge of the trench where Tang Cheng had just been lying down. If Tan Fei had acted a moment later, the Type 89 grenade launched by the Japanese grenade would have been enough to send Tang Cheng into hell.
.
Without enough time to rub his sore arm that was hit by the carbine, Tang Cheng pulled Tan Fei, who had just been pressing on him, to check carefully. After confirming that Tan Fei was not injured, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Boom" again.
It was a grenade fired by the Japanese army from a grenade that exploded. Yanlong, who was dragging a light machine gun, fell upside down into the trench. Tangcheng was almost bombed, but Yanlong grabbed a light machine gun and fired it at the Japanese army.
The grenade fired wildly in the direction, with the intention of avenging Tangcheng.
It's a pity that his shooting was just blind. The Japanese army's grenade was a deflection weapon. They hid behind the bunker and fired. The machine gun bullets fired by Ganlong did not bend. The bullets in the magazine were not empty yet.
, but was caught by the Japanese grenadier on the opposite side and fired another grenade. If the grenade fired by the grenade had not been slightly closer, Yanlong would have been silent by now. He was pushed by the air wave.
The rock dragon that fell into the trench had no serious injuries, but his left shoulder was scratched by a grenade fragment, and not much blood flowed from the wound.
Tang Cheng shouted an order to stop firing. The Japanese army on the opposite side had at least two grenade launchers staring at him. If he fired, he would only expose himself to the Japanese grenadiers. Dice led his snipers.
We have changed positions several times, but never gave the Japanese mortars a chance to bombard us. On the contrary, more than 20 Japanese soldiers died under their guns. We changed positions in the dark, fired flares and took the opportunity to open fire.
Kill all the Japanese troops in sight, this is Dice's strategy at this time.
The number of casualties of the Japanese army has been increasing. It seems that the Japanese army is not suitable for this method of not being able to see the enemy. Although they have mortars and grenade launchers in their hands, and machine gun firepower is gradually restored, they can't find it.
Seeing the cunning enemy, everything they have is in vain. Unlike when Tangcheng and the others encountered the Japanese army on their way back to Ledo from the outskirts of Magao a few months ago, now the snipers under Dice really look like real
A sniper, instead of holding a sniper rifle and using the same tactics as ordinary soldiers as before.
Dice and the dozen or so snipers under him were like sharp blades, cutting the seemingly impregnable Japanese fortifications in the valley to pieces, making the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications afraid to show their faces easily. Those with heavy weapons
The Japanese troops were completely suppressed by the snipers. Without the Japanese troops appearing in the shooting range, the snipers' shooting intensity also weakened, but the gunfire never stopped. There were always some lucky Japanese soldiers who died.
Under the sniper's gun.
Perhaps they were too tired of being suppressed by snipers. The Japanese army, which had been dormant for a while, resumed using mortars and grenade launchers to bombard anything they considered suspicious. Several of Tang Cheng's engineers squatted idle doing nothing.
In the trench, I smoked cigarettes and listened to the sound of artillery to identify the types of Japanese artillery. I also murmured the treasures, "Well, this is the Type 91 grenade, this is the Type 89 grenade, and there are the 60 mortar and the 81 mortar."
The artillery... belongs to you, luckily they don’t have the 92-foot infantry artillery and the 75-meter mountain artillery, otherwise we would be in trouble.”
Veterans all know that the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery and 75 mountain artillery can only be equipped at the brigade level. Even the 75 mountain artillery is only equipped with regiment-level troops or exclusive artillery brigades. What's more, this is deep in the Savage Mountain, and the Type 92 infantry can only be equipped at the brigade level.
Although the artillery and 75 mountain guns can be disassembled into several parts and transported by mules and horses, they still have to pay a lot of money. The Japanese army in this valley is just a squadron, and it is good to have 60 mortars and 81 mortars.
As for a larger caliber infantry gun, that is simply a luxury.
The U.S. Army instructors sent by Mike have always been responsible for training Dice and their snipers. Tang Cheng just went to the river to kill time every day. Tonight, Tang Cheng really saw the skills of a sniper. If the sniper uses
Properly done, it is better than equipping your company with a few more light machine guns. Although light machine guns have powerful firepower, they cannot shoot as accurately as sniper rifles, and this kind of precise shooting can bring extreme damage to the Japanese army.
Big shock and pressure.
There are dice and they are constantly fighting with the Japanese army. Tangcheng and the others who are crouching in the trench are completely useless at this moment, because the Japanese army in the valley can no longer spare the manpower to attack here. From night to dawn, the gunfire all night
Before the sound stopped, Dice and his dozen or so snipers achieved great results with the help of flares. Most of the Japanese officers below the squadron leader were killed, and the machine gunners suffered heavy casualties. In addition to direct-fire weapons such as grenades and mortars, the Japanese army could also attack Dice.
They pose some threat, and if the infantry dares to take the lead, they can only die.
The Japanese army finally realized the power of the enemy behind them. Having lost many officers, the Japanese army found that if they continued to stalemate with the enemy like this, the entire army might be annihilated waiting for them. If it gets brighter, the enemy's advantage would be maximized.
, the officer who took over the command finally chose to retreat. While the enemy behind them had not completely blocked their retreat, the best strategy was to seize the time and withdraw from the battle.
"The Japanese are about to run away, let's fire mortars to send them away." Tang Cheng had already seen the strange behavior of the Japanese army through the telescope, and the two American mortars he and Mike had brought with them had not only fired illumination bombs all night,
The gunners under Tang Cheng first targeted the opponent's Type 81 mortar, and a large cloud of smoke mixed with it.
With mud and rocks splashing, one of the Type 81 mortars left by the Japanese army as cover for their retreat was overturned, and the other one was also submerged in the smoke.
Tang Cheng's men probably don't have the ability to bombard the enemy in the dark like the Japanese army, but it's already dawn, which gives them great confidence. If they can't defeat the opponent's firepower points during the day, they will
A gunner should have been driven back from Tangcheng to bask in the sun and scratch his lice. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army who had mortars in the enemy was once again stunned. Two mortar positions were taken away one after another. The Japanese army in the valley finally
Made the birds and beasts disperse.
After chasing for a while, Tang Cheng ordered everyone to return to the valley to clean up the battlefield. The remaining Japanese soldiers who had fled into the woods were secretly glad that they could still survive. However, their luck did not last long before they were shattered. They were ordered to rescue the British.
The main force of the 114th Regiment of the Army has launched a fierce attack from the front of Thangka's house. The 114th Regiment, which has the advantage of firepower, seized several hills in one go, not only rescued the British troops besieged by the Japanese army, but also cut off all the diversionary troops left by the Japanese army.
Thangka house.
When Tangcheng led a sneak attack on the Japanese squadron in the valley, the 114th Regiment, which had already controlled Tangjiaka, had already divided its troops and headed south. Part of the troops of the 114th Regiment chased the fleeing Japanese troops until they reached the Nanrong River before stopping. Nanrong River
On the other side is Tajiapu, the gateway to Yerenshan, where the Japanese army is densely populated. While rescuing the British troops in Tangjiaka, the 114th Regiment also occupied Tangkajia, Karaka, and the Bochahai line, separated from the Japanese army on the other side of the Nanrong River.
River confrontation.
The Japanese army that was defeated by Tang Cheng and others did not know this. The Japanese army that lost the valley camp still wanted to move to Tangjiaka, looking for their troops to join up. However, they did not want to encounter the 114th Regiment scattered on the Tangjiaka line.
After a brief encounter, these Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the valley became the numbers recorded on the 114th Regiment's merit blog.
Tangcheng, who was speeding up to catch up with Mike and the others with his soldiers, did not know that due to the strength of the 114th Regiment in Tangjiaka, the Japanese outposts on the 126-kilometer stretch from Lieduo to Nanrong River had been cleared. The China-India Highway
In this way, we were able to smoothly extend into the precipitous and wild Savage Mountains. It was difficult and day and night to extend towards the Nanrong River. The momentum of the expeditionary force's counterattack in Myanmar has now begun to take shape.
