"One direction, fat machine gunner." As soon as Mao San, who was in charge of sniper observation, said this, Ma Quan, who was lying next to him, had already pulled the trigger. The muzzle of the gun jumped slightly, and the fat machine gunner who was locked by Mao San leaned back.
Disappeared in the telescope. Mao San's sniper team was the frontmost group of snipers. Ma Quan, the main shooter, had already emptied four magazines. An entire soldier from the 20th Japanese Division fell to the muzzle of his gun.
Down.
Different from other snipers, in Ma Quan's target ranking, he always likes to hit targets that pose a threat to himself and his companions first. As for targets such as enemy officers, he only hits a few officers on a casual basis at most.
, messengers, gunners, machine gunners, followed by ordinary soldiers. This is the target order of other snipers, but Ma Quan hits the enemy's messengers and ambulance soldiers first, followed by machine gunners and gunners and grenadiers, and finally
It was the turn of officers and ordinary soldiers.
Ma Quan is the fastest shooting among these reserve snipers. Even Zhang Jinquan cannot compare with him. While other snipers lock on and knock down two targets at the same time, Ma Quan can often knock down at least 5 targets. This is
That's why the sniper instructor ignored Ma Quan's abnormal target sorting. "Pop!" When Mao San was looking for the next target, Ma Quan, who was lying in a shallow pit, fired another shot. A low-level officer in the opponent's position turned his back.
Falling down, the bullet fired by Ma Quan passed through the telescope and blew out the Japanese officer's head.
The miraculous attack method of the sniper unit made the officers of the 20th Division on the front furious. The soldiers could be afraid and shrink back, but they couldn't. They were officers, officers who represented the emperor's will. The opponent's silent attack
The attack only lasted less than ten minutes, and the 20th Division suffered more than 100 casualties. Among these 00 soldiers, there were only a few officers. The most casualties were those idiots who were self-possessed and strong. As long as
If they dare to expose themselves outside the bunker, they will definitely become the next unlucky ones to be shot and fall to the ground.
In order to eliminate the panic in the hearts of the frontline soldiers, the 20th Division organized some low-level officers to replace the machine gunners and fire back. The senior officers in the 20th Division had already judged from the bullet holes in the soldiers who were hit that the other side had used a sniper offensive.
Whether it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, it can suppress the opponent's sniper. If you gather the machine guns together and use scattering on the presumed area, you can cover the area where the opponent's sniper is hiding. Whether it can shoot the opponent's sniper is another matter. The 20th Division
The purpose of the regiment's move was to suppress the opponent's snipers, and then send a small elite team up to engage in close combat with the opponent's snipers.
In fact, Japan is the first country in Asia to equip its combat troops with snipers, and in some aspects, the Japanese army's elite snipers have surpassed their teacher Germany, and they have extremely tough characters than their teachers.
More suitable for snipers. The reason why the Japanese army did not deploy a large number of snipers like Zhao Zhi was mainly due to the lack of supplies. The cost of training and equipping a sniper can at least add one more squad of ordinary snipers to the Japanese main battle force.
Soldier.
With the emergence of the Thunder sniper, sniper courses were also opened in Japanese military academies that trained reserve officers. The Japanese military headquarters spent a lot of money to specially invite senior sniper instructors from Germany to teach sniper tactics. The tank divisions that arrived subsequently
There is a Japanese sniper unit of 100 people. Although they are only students who have not graduated from the sniper school, this does not prevent them from going into battle. Compared with ordinary soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit, these sniper trainees are
They became the life-saving straw for the 20th Division to reverse the situation.
"Gentlemen, I want to say that you are too optimistic. The opponent's snipers will never be less than 0, and their abilities are much stronger than those of my students. For the future of these children, I still hope that you can
Consider withdrawing them, otherwise I can't guarantee the outcome." Slimhausen, a German who served as a sniper instructor, did not agree to send his students into battle. After checking the bullet holes on some fallen soldiers, Slimhausen
He had already retreated in his heart. Even he himself was unable to deal with such a large number of opponents, let alone those novices who had only received half a year of training.
The 20th Division, which has no way out, will certainly not agree to Slimhausen's proposal. They certainly don't expect these sniper trainees who have not yet graduated to defeat the opponent. They just need someone to contain the opponent's snipers so that they can defeat them.
The melee troops advancing covertly from the flanks win opportunities and time. "Instructor, wait for our good news." The sniper trainees in camouflage said goodbye to instructor Slimhausen with the enthusiasm and persistence unique to young people, and then used the battlefield to
Enter the frontline of the defense line with various covers on the ground, and prepare for a duel with the opponent's snipers.
The duel between snipers is obviously not as thrilling and exciting as a regular battle. Most of the time, the snipers on both sides are constantly moving and searching, and a lot of time is wasted in waiting and catching. Snipers must be patient.
Being able to endure loneliness and waiting, this is what every sniper instructor will say when receiving training. The Japanese sniper trainees may not be sophisticated in tactics, but the forbearance in the Japanese bones makes up for this shortcoming. On both sides, the
In the first round of the showdown, the casualties between the Thunder reserve snipers and the Japanese sniper trainees were almost equal.
"Teams with numbers above 50 will stop attacking and stand by collectively. They are not allowed to fire without orders. Teams with numbers above 30 will become observers to find the location of the opponent's snipers. Teams with numbers below 30 will act as the main attackers to eliminate the opponent's snipers." Snipers in actual combat.
The casualties in the battle were not beyond Zhang Jinquan's expectations, but there were more than 30 casualties in the first round of sniper duel, which was somewhat difficult for the confident Zhang Jinquan to accept. As a sniper instructor, he has the right to control the sniper's tactics.
The layout was adjusted, and after obtaining Zhao Zhi's consent, Zhang Jinquan made clearing the opponent's snipers his main task.
"Go to two hundred-man squads to attack the two wings of the snipers to prevent the Japanese from playing tricks. I think they will send snipers to fight with us. It will never be as simple as a sniper duel. We must pay attention to the changes on the battlefield." Zhao Zhi absolutely said.
He is the originator of the best small-scale combat in this era. From the first battle with the Japanese army in Shanxi, Zhao Zhi has been studying the Japanese army's tactics every day. Under such circumstances, the Japanese 20th Division dared to send out snipers
His hands were entangled with his own, and he obviously had other plans.
Among the snipers who were divided into 100 teams by Zhang Jinquan according to the team structure, the snipers with numbers below 30 are all battlefield veterans with three combat experiences. Their psychological endurance is by no means comparable to that of the recruits Cao Niao. In addition, the Thunder snipers
Equipped with new weapons and equipment, in the second round of the duel between the two sides, Thunder's snipers won 0 to 24. The sniper duel only lasted two rounds, and more than half of the sniper trainees on the Japanese side had already suffered casualties, and panic and impatience began.
Scattered among Japanese sniper trainees.
The next thing will be much easier to handle. The Thunder snipers of Team 30, composed of 5 people, began to focus on searching for the remaining 40 sniper trainees of the opponent, 60 vs. 40. This is a battle with extremely unequal strength. "You guys.
These lunatics, they are just children, you killed them." Just five minutes later, Slimhausen left the 20th Division with tears on his face and a female student who was about to die.
At the forward position, the entire confrontation only lasted less than half an hour. More than 100 snipers he had trained for half a year were shot dead by the opponent's snipers.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" A burst of mortars suddenly fired from the forward position of the 20th Division. They still couldn't accurately locate the Thunder sniper, but what they originally wanted was for the mortar shells to land and explode.
The smoke and fire started, because only in this way, their elite squad sneaking in from both wings had a chance to engage in close combat. "On board" the elite squad soldiers of the 20th Division sneaking in from both wings showed up shouting "Long Live the Emperor"
, although the location of the Thunder snipers is not known, they obviously want to use the light machine guns they carry to solve this problem.
"Click, click, click, click." The dense rain of bullets pounced on the melee squad of the 20th Division, which was rushing forward. Zhao Zhi's mercenary centurions deployed on both wings in advance finally came into use. And the Browning machine guns equipped by the centurion squad
Compared with the 100-style submachine guns in the hands of the 20th Division's close combat team, it was nothing. The 20th Division's first experience with the Browning's power was that the Browning machine gun, which had caused headaches to the Japanese army on the Nanyang battlefield, was also used this time.
It gave a great surprise to the melee team of the 20th Division.
"Tell our snipers to withdraw. The situation has changed. Our deployment needs to be slightly adjusted." After defeating the opponent's melee troops, all the snipers were ordered to withdraw by Zhao Zhi. It was not Zhao Zhi's intention to withdraw.
These snipers were just Zhao Zhi who had just received the battle report from China. Wang Yaowu, who was eager to make contributions, fell into the trap of the Japanese army. The entire 74th Army was surrounded by the sudden appearance of two Kwantung Army divisions on the Hejian line between Baoding and Cangzhou.
Ordinarily, Zhao Zhi shouldn't worry about these things. There is still a youth army with more than tens of thousands of people in the Shandong theater. However, the youth army is now unable to protect itself. The Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei, which have been patient, finally gathered strength and surrounded the main force of the youth army.
The total force dispatched by the Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei exceeded 400,000, and the Youth Army was tightly surrounded in Xushui, unable to move. Moreover, the Northeastern Station of the Military Command also received news that two Kwantung Army divisions were on the move.
Heading south to Hebei, if they are driven to Baoding, the Youth Army and the 74th Army will not be able to avoid this bloody battle.
"Ask Tang Lei to come to the headquarters. It's time for them to get active." The appearance of the Japanese tank division gave Zhao Zhi the hope of controlling Kyushu Island as soon as possible. Although they were light tanks, Luer lacked heavy weapons.
The island's resistance forces are still invincible, so Zhao Zhi plans to directly use Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops to deal with the enemy once and for all.
