The battle began to go to another extreme. The competition between snipers was more about the psychological endurance of both sides. At this time, it can be seen that the sniper training methods of the Xuebing Army are more advanced than those of the Japanese army. Zhang Shaoyong
Not to mention, as a Li Guang-level sniper, he is not only able to stand alone, but also has the ability to influence the outcome of a small war. If he hadn't suddenly killed You Teng and a squad leader of You Teng's squadron, now
The defense line of Luan Qingming's department has been penetrated by the Japanese army. Even Feng Taixue, a newcomer who has only received less than two months of sniper training, has demonstrated his good tactical qualities once he is fully engaged in combat.
In a competition between snipers, the frequency of gunfire is not high, but as long as there is a gunshot, blood will inevitably be seen, and at least half of the ten gunshots will take away a living life. Agile skills,
A keen sense of smell and a calm mind are the basic qualities that a sniper must possess. In addition, the criterion that distinguishes an excellent sniper from an ordinary sniper lies in their ability to lurk and seize opportunities. After a period of time,
In the initial fierce exchange of fire, after the two sides found out each other's details, the gunshots on the frontal battlefield became sparse. After Tajima realized the sharpness of the snipers of the Xuebing Army, he ordered to further shrink the defense line to stick to the enemy.
But he no longer took the initiative to attack. He was ordered to clear the way for the main force. His main task was to test out the true combat power of the Santai guerrilla column. After the contact battle just now, he had obtained the information he wanted. The Santai guerrilla column had good weapons and equipment.
, the quality of the soldiers is not bad, but they lack experience in large-scale positional warfare. Now I have to add one more thing. Fox Thirteen attaches great importance to special operations. The quality of the snipers in this department is a level higher than that of the imperial army. They have completed the final
For the main task, Tajima did not want to sacrifice too many troops here, so he turned back to the aviation force, hoping to defeat the current student army with the help of the aviation force.
In a battle between snipers, the one with the highest casualty rate is the machine gunner or the officer. This is the innate responsibility of the sniper battalion due to the needs of the war. Of course, because the opponent also has snipers, the sniper kills the machine gunner and officers.
Important military targets are not easy to achieve. If you fail to do so, you may lose your life.
Luan Qingming had already realized that there was a problem with his command at this time, because as time went on, their initiative was gradually lost. Considering that this was just the vanguard of the Japanese army, with the main force behind it, he gave up.
, knowing that continuing to fight would only become more and more disadvantageous for them, he was decisive. After realizing this, he was about to retreat. Chief of Staff Xiao Bing ran to him and reported to him that he had received a letter from the general headquarters.
According to the telegram, the Japanese army released about a squadron of fighter planes from the airport in Yangzhou. The target of the attack was probably them, telling them not to be reluctant to fight and retreat immediately. At that moment, Luan Qingming did not hesitate anymore and left a guerrilla team to block the possible counterattack by the Japanese army.
Order the troops to retreat in squadron units to the Jiangtai border area.
Having a geographical advantage is always an advantage. Luan Qingming's troops relied on their familiarity with the terrain to quietly withdraw from the battlefield. By the time Tajima reacted, there were only about thirty guerrillas left on the position.
team members, and after they confirmed that the main force had withdrawn from the battlefield, they immediately broke into pieces and disappeared into the vast fields. This small war came to an end.
Although the scale of this contact battle was small, because it was the first battle between the two sides after the Xuebing Army launched its counteroffensive, it eventually gained a high historical status and was called the "Autumn Counteroffensive" launched by the Xuebing Army. The first battle marked the beginning of a comprehensive counterattack by the Xuebing Army and the Chinese army to regain their homeland.
This battle was of equally profound significance to the Japanese army. It made Takashi Sakai realize that after several years of development, the Xuebing Army had truly matured, and even a mere guerrilla armed force had sharp weapons to deal with the heavy armored vehicles of the Imperial Army. , there is no doubt that the Zero armored vehicle is the most superior performance tank owned by the Japanese army so far. Whether it is Takashi Sakai or senior Japanese officials from the other three armies, they once had high hopes for this series of tanks. They can use them to offset the advantages of the armored forces of the Xuebing Army. After experiencing the Battle of Baozhuang, Takashi Sakai realized that the Zero tanks were not as powerful as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries experts had described. A peripheral guerrilla force under the army can also easily carry out a fatal attack on it.
Takashi Sakai's original strategy was to take advantage of his military strength and fight steadily, eventually forcing the Santai guerrilla column to fight them in a decisive battle at a certain place. After the Battle of Baozhuang, he found that the imperial army had no advantage in terms of ground troops alone. Then he realized that if he really did this, the suppression war might drag on for a long time, so he decided to implement the Sanko policy like Nishio Juzo, and forced Fox Shisan to take the initiative by destroying the foundation of the Santai guerrilla column. Although Sakai Takashi He realized that the Santai guerrilla column was not as poorly equipped as ordinary guerrilla troops, but he still did not regard it as an equal opponent, so he believed in his heart that the imperial army would definitely have the advantage if a positional war was fought, so the focus of his decision-making was still on How to force the Santai guerrilla column to engage in a decisive battle,
Sakai Takashi deliberately wanted to force the Santai Guerrilla Column to fight a decisive battle, but he did not know that his opponent Fox Shisan also considered the same. Sakai Takashi did not know that although the Santai Guerrilla Column bore the name of a guerrilla, in fact, no matter the equipment The training methods and other aspects are actually the same as those of the regular army of the Xuebing Army. If you insist on finding any difference, you may have to focus on the heavy weapons and equipment. The regular army of the Xuebing Army will be equipped with certain units above the division level. With a large number of tanks and self-propelled artillery, the Santai guerrilla column now has more than 20,000 registered soldiers, reaching the size of a Class C army. However, they do not have a tank unit, and their artillery only has captured weapons from the Japanese army. There are more than ten mountain cannons. Hu Shisan himself is not from the regular army. He is from the secret service department of Hu Tong. It is said that no matter how talented he is in military affairs, he must go through a growth process before he can grow into a qualified general. However, in the Xuebing Army, everything Miracles are possible. The complete set of army-building methods compiled by the General Staff of the Xuebing Army allowed him to join the military as a layman but he hardly took any wrong steps. In addition, the Santai guerrilla column had already lurked and engaged in military affairs in the early stage. He mainly focused on underground destruction, and this was his strength. So what impressed everyone was that in just the blink of an eye, he completed the identity change from a national hero to a qualified general.
