Chapter 298 Sniper
If those generals, whose legs weakened when they heard the Japanese were coming and who just wanted to turn around and run away, heard Zhai Changlin's casual thoughts, they would definitely go crazy!
Okay, we here who beg our grandpa and grandma all day long hope that the Japanese will not attack, but you here are actually afraid that the Japanese will not attack?
I don’t know what outsiders think, but these cadres and soldiers of the security group have their own "little plans". Anyway, with the obstruction of the mountain ridge line, the Japanese cannonballs cannot be fired accurately.
There is no one in the place, so just let them fire a few more rounds to reduce the pressure on their logistics!
Well, this sale is guaranteed and you won’t lose any money!
Finally, after the Japanese artillery bombarded for more than half an hour, they felt that it was almost done and finally stopped.
Somewhere on the top of the mountain, behind the northern slope, the eight mortars of the artillery company had adjusted their coordinates.
"Company commander, are we just going to do this?" The artillery team leaders looked at Zhai Changlin and wanted to shoot out the artillery shells nearby.
"What are you looking at me for? Why didn't you shoot enough yesterday? I also want to blow it up! But the battalion commander won't let me! We've already adjusted the coordinates. Who can calculate the ballistics? I'll be able to do it later.
Come on, we finally managed to withstand so many shells, we must not be able to carry them any longer!"
After Zhai Changlin finished speaking, he climbed up the mountain, lay down behind a big rock, picked up a telescope and looked at the Japanese artillery position in the north. The straight-line distance was less than two thousand meters, which was exactly the best range of the 82-gun. Unfortunately, it is not available yet.
beat.
"Where are those bastards hiding?" Zhai Changlin finished looking at the Japanese artillery positions and pointed his telescope at the hillside. As a result, whether it was on the hillside here or on the hillside across the valley, he
Didn't see anyone.
"What a ghost! There are more than a dozen living people hiding on the mountain. There are not many trees on the mountain. Where are they hiding?"
What Lao Zhai was looking for was none other than Sun Xiaobao and the dozen or so snipers. This morning they clearly saw these dozen guys going up the mountain wearing clothes made of fishing nets, linen pieces and strips of cloth.
None can be found.
"This thing called auspicious clothes is really auspicious. It is hidden in the mountain and can't be seen at all. It is really auspicious!" Zhai Changlin muttered.
"Lao Zhai, if you don't take your stinky feet away, I will fall out with you!" Sun Xiaobao's voice came from below.
"Here comes my mother!" Zhai Changlin was startled. When he looked carefully, he saw a young face looking at him in front of the stone under his feet.
"You idiot, you stopped here and blocked my shot. Get out of the way! The Japanese are attacking!" Sun Xiaobao said impatiently.
"I'm going, I'm going!" Lao Zhai quickly slipped back to his artillery position. Staying with these elusive guys, he always felt a chill down his spine.
At the foot of the mountain, the Japs' offensive troops had already arrived at the attack position. At a straight line distance of 500 meters from the northernmost ends of the positions on both sides, the eight 92nd heavy machine guns of a Japs heavy machine gun squadron had set up their heavy machine guns during the shelling just now.
position.
"Quack..." Eight ninety-two-level troops, one on the left and one on the right, started suppressing fire on the positions on both sides.
Yesterday's camouflage in front of the position no longer worked. Except for the grass and small trees that still grew in front of the trench, there was no cover. Therefore, the Japanese heavy machine gun could easily find the general location of the security group's trench.
Swish, swish... Bullets kept flying over the trench with air waves. The soldiers in the trench were leaning on the edge of the trench, waiting for the Japanese attack.
"Killing Chi..."
There was no test, and this time a small group of Japanese soldiers came up. Because the river flows to the west, the main attack direction of this small group of Japanese soldiers was the east hillside.
Just as the Japanese team began to attack to the east, the 92nd Heavy Army turned their guns and collectively fired at the trench positions in the west, suppressing the firepower points in the west.
However, the security group's position was still quiet. Except for the craters caused by the shelling and the smoke floating in the air, no one was fighting back at all.
"Is it time for the sharpshooters to take action?"
In the headquarters bunker of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company, Company Commander Xia Tian looked at the Japanese soldiers who were supporting the crooked handles and whispered.
"Pa..." The sharpshooters really took action.
There is a scope on the 92nd level of the little devil, which is 2.5 times, so they dare to fire at the position here from more than 500 meters away to suppress it.
But in fact, with this kind of long-span trench line, the distance they can suppress is really limited. The 92nd Layer may be able to take care of it in the first half, but there is nothing they can do in the second half.
Moreover, for this kind of fortification built along with the undulating mountains, the low places can be completely blocked by the high places from the bullets coming from the north, creating a certain shooting blind spot. But the firepower point here can shoot down the mountain.
But that's not the point. The point is that no one from the security team shows up at all. They are waiting for someone to clear out the heavy machine gun position!
It was too easy to deal with this heavy machine gun position. It only took a few artillery shells! But in order not to scare away the Japanese, the mortars did not aim at them.
Those who were aiming at them were snipers! Yes, those snipers who used Type 97 sniper rifles!
Although they have only experienced sniper training for more than a month, their marksmanship is already very good! Although they have not been exposed to this kind of rifle with a sniper scope before, this does not prevent them from getting started quickly.
After all, the target they need to snipe is not far away, only 400 to 500 meters away.
The Type 97 sniper rifle is modified from the best 38 rifle. Although its monopod is very weak and easy to break, the excellent ballistic stability and accuracy of the 38 rifle make their sniping level acceptable.
At least Sun Xiaobao, who has been learning marksmanship from Hu Yizhou for a long time, is already very good at controlling the sniper rifle in his hands.
Therefore, when the little Japanese attack team arrived in front of the position and began to attack the east position, the snipers hidden on the hillsides on both sides took action!
"Pop..." The crisp sound of gunfire was inconspicuous among the rattling gunfire and crooked gunfire of the 92nd Heavy Duty.
In fact, the gunshots that were consistent with the 38 gunfire made it impossible for the Japanese to tell that anyone was shooting at them. After all, their main attention was focused on the trenches on both sides, guarding against the sudden appearance of the soldiers in the trenches.
shot.
"Kill..." The squadron leader of the heavy machine gun squadron waved his command knife and pointed at the position on the east side. At this moment, the sound of bullets piercing flesh was heard.
However, under the cover of the sound of heavy machine guns, the squadron leader did not hear the dying sounds of the soldiers nearby.
Until...pop...a bullet hit his temple, cracking his head open.
The squadron leader never found out who beat him until his death...
