Chapter 491 Bombarding Snipers

Looking at the heavy casualties of the reinforcements from all walks of life, the leader of the devil squadron sitting in the stronghold was a little crazy.

This independent regiment hadn't launched a sneak attack for several days, and thought it was a deadly attack. Who would have thought that the attack in front of them would be more violent.

In addition, the devil squadron leader also noticed the problem.

The explosive sneak attack method used by the enemy seems to be more sophisticated than the landmines. The reinforcement troops obviously led the engineers forward, but they still encountered explosions.

There were many engineers who were carrying mine detectors and were probing forward, and suddenly there was an explosion.

It's not like a landmine that was suppressed, but more like a means of manipulation.

The most troublesome thing is that there is no way to know where the enemy troops are hiding.

Five sniper teams, the devil squadron leader has already sent out.

The five devil snipers were also very anxious. The five devil scouts took range-finding binoculars and looked at the forest around the explosion for a long time, but they still didn't find any trace of the enemy.

On both sides of the Nanshan Highway are vast mountain forests. If the enemy does not actively open fire to expose the position, it will be difficult to detect.

The Japanese captains who led the reinforcements reacted very quickly. Realizing that the means of explosion seemed to be secretly manipulated by the enemy, they quickly ordered the soldiers to stay where they were for the time being, neither daring to move forward nor to retreat immediately .

Who knows if he will step into a trap laid by the lurking Eighth Route Army on the way?
The leader of the devil squad, who had only encountered an explosive package explosion, roared angrily, and even ordered to use machine guns to shoot blindly at the forests on the left and right sides of the mountain road.

As for the effect, apart from the bullets breaking the trees and falling leaves, there was no other movement.

The devils just spent time with Paichang Jiang who was lurking in the forest.

The little devil seems to have figured it out very clearly, you have an explosive method that is impossible to guard against secretly, so I will stay where I am and see what you can do to me.

There are absolutely not too many areas where explosions can be controlled.

This is indeed the case, the little devil has learned to be good, and he stays still between the explosions. Platoon Leader Jiang can't do anything about the devil, and when he is having a headache how to continue to lure the little devil to the bait, bang——, alone A shot rang out.

The sound of this gunshot was much lower than that of ordinary rifle gunshots. In addition, the sound echoed in the mountains and forests. For a while, it was difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops on the mountain road down the mountain to distinguish the exact location of the attackers.

Platoon Leader Jiang looked around, and a leader of the devil squad who was roaring fell down in response. The bullet hit his chest, fell straight down, and died on the spot.

... Lao Zhou, the aid sent by the sniper platoon, made a move.

"Sniper, cover, cover!"

Looking at the dead captain of the devil, the devil's adjutant hastily reminded him.

But the section of the road where the devils and puppet troops were located happened to have gentle slopes on both sides, and there was no place to hide, and they didn't dare to move forward and backward at will.

stronghold direction.

The ghost snipers who had already sneaked out through the tunnel were all startled when they heard the gunshot. They recognized that it was the unique sound of the Type [-] sniper rifle.

Sniper.

Definitely a sniper from the Independent Regiment!

Several old devils licked their lips excitedly, quickly entered the surrounding forest, and rushed towards the area where the gunshots were fired...

In the forest, according to the old habit, after firing a single shot to kill the devil's squad leader, Lao Zhou quickly put away his gun and moved the location of the sniper.

Another sniper team followed up and directly knocked out a Devil machine gunner.

Now, the devils and puppet soldiers on the mountain road could no longer sit still.

There are snipers from the Eighth Route Army in the forest, and there may be troops from the Eighth Route Army ambushing them. No one knows exactly how many there are.

The devils and puppet troops could only retreat towards the stronghold despite the risk of an explosion, or they could only be regarded as living targets for enemy snipers here.

"Don't let the little devil run away, fire the cannon, how many devils can be killed!"

Seeing the retreat of the devils and puppet troops, platoon leader Jiang naturally didn't want to watch the devils escape, so he gave the order to fire. Several shelling teams fired quickly, and four [-] small guns started shelling from different directions.

Shells exploded on the mountain road.

These artillery comrades were all specially trained with howitzers and Wang Chengzhu.

After the artillery shells of the independent regiment became more generous, in order to train the artillery, Kong Jie specially ordered that the artillery teaching can be directly practiced with live ammunition after completing the basic theoretical study.

Of course, the cannonballs should not be wasted. During the training, the old artillerymen led by the [-] small cannons, and selected some Japanese strongholds in the surrounding area, or small groups of troops that the devils left the county, as target experiments.

Anyway, just hit one shot and leave. It doesn't matter whether the little devil is killed or not, as long as it can have a training effect.

In Kong Jie's words, this kind of live ammunition practice method is the most suitable for actual combat situations, whether it is the surrounding mountainous environment or the enemy army.

In addition, every once in a while, the Independence Regiment will also hold a military skills competition for sneak attacks on various strongholds of the Japanese army. Every new artilleryman, how far away, how many hits can be achieved, then Basically, they are all registered in the register, and the specific information is mastered by the platoon leaders of each squad.

The artillery of the independent regiment trained in this way, coupled with the excellent accuracy of the modified [-] small artillery, and equipped with observers for range measurement and artillery fire, the single-shot hit rate of the artillery will never be lower than that of the able An old Japanese artilleryman skilled in using grenades.

boom -

Four grenades flew out...

It is absolutely nonsense that artillery can achieve [-]% single-shot hit rate on smaller targets.

A hit rate of [-]% to [-]% is quite impressive.

The reason why the devil's artillery has a very high hit rate is also because they use the commander to conduct unified target range measurement, and then use multiple grenade launchers in a concentrated manner. Achievements.

The two shells were slightly off the mark, only wounding a few Japanese and puppet soldiers, and the other two shells perfectly hit the area where the Chinese and Japanese puppet troops were located, causing seven or eight casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops.

After two rounds of rapid fire, Platoon Leader Jiang gave the order to shift the shelling position without hesitation.

There are also some artillery in the devil's reinforcement team. If they are not transferred in time, they can counterattack at any time.

The artillery raid by Plato Leader Jiang controlled the bombardment distance in advance, keeping the distance at about 600 meters, and retreated quickly after the shooting, out of the effective range of the Japanese Type [-] grenade launcher.

After the devil was attacked by artillery fire, he could only stare with anger, unable to fight back effectively.

This is the end.

The battle was over. Platoon Leader Jiang quickly ordered to retreat. Now is not the time for a decisive battle with the devils. Even with the cover of mountains and forests, if they don't evacuate in time, the devils in the surrounding strongholds may surround them at any time.

Anyway, the combat mission has been completed, and the wounded Japanese puppet army has nearly 50 people. In addition, the attention of the Japanese army is basically attracted to the direction of the stronghold, which provides a cover for the attack of the martial arts team in the direction of the village.

The devils on the road blindly bombarded the mountains and forests with grenades for a long time, like impotent rage, and did not dare to pursue them at will.

It wasn't until they realized that the bombardment hadn't achieved much and the devils ordered a ceasefire, they continued to be vigilant against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army. The dead and wounded, retreat to the direction of the stronghold.

There are also pursuits.

That was the devil's five sniper teams, five snipers and five observers.

While the two sides were fighting, the devil's five sniper teams left quickly, and then quickly rushed towards the approximate area where platoon leader Jiang and his party were lurking.

Platoon leader Jiang and his party were unaware of this.

Even Lao Zhou, who had been responsible for secretly covering the main force when they evacuated at the end, failed to find the devil's sniper team.

Time passed, and after Plato Leader Jiang and his party retreated for about a mile, they were finally overtaken by the devil's sniper team.

There were only ten little devils in the area, and they were quite courageous. They actually detoured directly from the right wing of the mountain forest led by Paichang Jiang.

boom--

Some devil snipers cooperated with the devil observers to lock the target and shoot.

The unique sound of the Japanese Type [-] sniper rifle echoed in the mountains and forests.

The high-speed rotating bullet grazed the bark and hit the left shoulder of the rushing squad leader. This shot was originally aimed at the chest of the general long, because the general long was moving fast, The bullet deviated slightly before it hit the shoulder.

The first squad leader fell down in response, and the pain caused by the bullet embedded in his shoulder took several seconds before flooding in like a flood.

"Squad leader!" A soldier exclaimed.

Regardless of the pain, the first squad leader rolled down to a ditch. At the same time, after judging from the direction of the bullet hitting his shoulder, he shouted: "There are devil snipers at two o'clock, immediately look for a blind spot to hide!"

Hearing this, the soldiers quickly hid themselves.

During this period, the Japanese sniper fired two more shots from other local directions. Fortunately, the soldiers took cover in time, and the bullets just rubbed against tree trunks or rocks, making a bang bang sound.

"Hide your body to death, and avoid all shooting directions from the right wing!"

Platoon leader Jiang yelled, hid behind a rock, and then shouted at the first squad leader: "First squad leader, how is the situation, is it okay for you kid?"

The first squad leader said happily: "Platoon leader, don't worry, he won't die, this little devil's marksmanship is too bad, how can it compare to Lao Zhou and the others? It's just scratching our itch."

Hearing that the voice of the first squad leader was still full of energy, platoon leader Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The first squad leader said: "Platoon leader, listen to the gunshots. This group of devils is unusual. They seem to be using the same sniper rifles as Lao Zhou and the others. It is probably the devil's sniper. There should be more than one person. The previous guns The sound came from several directions."

Platoon Leader Jiang nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, when dealing with devils and snipers who are not ordinary, hide your body for me. Devil snipers use bullets to kill the enemy. As long as we are in their In the blind area of ​​sight, the devil can do nothing if he takes us."

"No one should show me easily, it's not a joke."

The third squad leader who was not far away was a little anxious: "Platoon leader, just hiding like this is not an option. If the devil changes the direction of shooting, it is still possible to find the target."

Platoon Leader Jiang said: "I know the situation, but it's just that it's not clear how many devil snipers there are."

"But Lao Zhou and the others should be nearby. In a sniper-to-sniper duel, the most feared thing is to be exposed first. Let's find a way to force the devil's sniper to be exposed and give Lao Zhou and them a chance to make a move."

Speaking of this, and thinking of the common anti-sniper methods mentioned by the company commander when he was in class before, Platoon Leader Jiang suddenly took it to heart.

He took off his military cap, put the cap on the top of the rifle, and then slowly stretched over the big rock where he was hiding, exposing himself at the two o'clock direction.

boom--

Sure enough, gunshots rang out immediately, and the fast-fired bullets directly lifted the hat that Platoon Leader Jiang put on.

Damn it, I just changed my military cap.

Platoon Leader Jiang cursed secretly, and said, "Have you seen it? Comrades, use this method to test out the hiding place of the devil snipers."

Beside Platoon Leader Jiang, the soldiers who noticed this scene immediately moved their hands, imitating Platoon Leader Jiang, took off the hat, put it on the rifle, and slowly stretched it out to the outside of the bunker.

bang bang bang-

Gunshots rang out continuously, and the bullets accurately knocked the caps away. Platoon Leader Jiang was also terrified to see this scene. These little devils are really good at marksmanship. If the soldiers attack rashly, casualties will definitely be inevitable.

"Platoon leader, listening to the gunshots, there should be several devil snipers. The distance is about 400 meters. We soldiers may not be able to reach them. The exact number of devils cannot be determined. They seem to be constantly changing positions." The third squad leader said.

Thinking of the anti-mopping up not long ago, the snipers of the devils tied themselves to trees and sniped until they died.

Platoon Leader Jiang couldn't help cursing: "You bastard, you've learned a lot."

"Comrades, continue to test, don't show your face easily, you can throw a few grenades to frighten the little devils, and buy time for Lao Zhou and the others."

"The artillery is ready, after you find an opportunity to fight back, use the artillery to beat me to the mother!"

not far away.

The four members of the sniper platoon, including Lao Zhou, who was in charge of breaking the rear, naturally heard the sound of the battle.

The muffled gunshots that belonged to the Type [-] sniper rifle were all too familiar to Lao Zhou.

"No, Platoon Leader Jiang and the others probably encountered a devil's sniper."

"Captain, let's hurry to support!"

Lao Zhou shook his head, "The number of devil snipers is uncertain. We have few people this time, and we have little chance of winning if we attack head-on. In this way, we should quickly turn around from the flanks, find an opportunity to lock the target, and then shoot."

"Yes!"

With the help of platoon leader Jiang and his party to exchange fire with Japanese snipers, the old Zhou quickly made a detour.

On the side of the devil snipers, a few little devils were full of excitement. They gradually realized the clever tactics of the sniper team of the Eighth Route Army. The observers quickly locked the target, and then the snipers cooperated in the attack.

In addition, constantly change the sniper location so that the enemy cannot lock the specific location.

In less than 2 minutes, according to the estimates of these Japanese snipers, more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops have been destroyed.

The bullets were aimed at the heads of the Eighth Route Army, so there must be no mistake!

Gunshots and grenade explosions were intertwined. In the tense firefight, the Devils sniper team never thought of turning to other directions. Anyway, there were targets in this direction. In addition, the Eighth Route Army counterattacked strongly. Dare to approach rashly.

The old Thursday people finally took the opportunity to get back in place.

After quickly selecting the first sniper location, the two observer soldiers quickly found the Japanese snipers who were constantly shooting.

The devil snipers who kept shooting were too easy to spot, and the devil snipers were unaware of the lurking of the old Zhou people.

This duel of snipers from both sides was destined to be unfair from the very beginning.

bang bang-

Two gunshots rang out, and on the devil's side, two devil observers who were locking the target with range-finding binoculars were shot dead immediately.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. Old Zhou and his party's sneak attack catches the little devil by surprise.

Before the devils reacted and adjusted their tactics, Lao Zhou, who was more proficient in the tactics of the sniper team, shot again and killed another devil observer.

In the complex mountain forest environment, destroy the devil's observer first, and the devil's sniper is basically equivalent to a half-blind state.

The observer who cooperates with Lao Zhou climbs on a tree trunk, constantly observes the target of the Japanese army through the gaps in the leaves, and then quickly and accurately tells Lao Zhou the position of the Japanese army, and Lao Zhou takes action.

In a short time, four of the devil's observers were knocked out.

"Baga, a sniper of the Eighth Route Army, at eight o'clock, pay attention to concealment!"

Now the devil snipers can no longer be rampant.

Platoon Leader Jiang, who had been oppressed by devil snipers, was full of depression. When he heard the unique gunshots coming from the gun forest, he waved his hand quickly and said, "Wait, listen carefully. It seems that Lao Zhou and the others have arrived and are sniping devils!"

"The shelling team, the two o'clock area, a distance of 400 meters, immediately concentrate the firepower to cover, and blast me out of these bastards!"

"Yes!"

Taking advantage of the time when the devil snipers were held back by Lao Zhou and a few people, the four artillery teams quickly set up 400 small cannons and bombarded the area [-] meters away in the direction of two o'clock.

The artillery soldiers have been aggrieved for a long time, just waiting for this moment!

Seeing the opportunity, the artillery fires with full force.

The devil's snipers had been firing continuously before, and their position had been exposed long ago. Under the cover of concentrated firepower, the little devil had no time to dodge, and casualties quickly appeared.

The remaining devils could not continue to stay in their original hiding places, so they could only move and flee embarrassingly under the bombardment of artillery fire, and this transfer was immediately exposed to the sniper sight of Lao Zhou and his party.

A one-sided massacre kicked off.

After about 5 minutes, the fighting stopped completely.

Platoon Leader Jiang sent soldiers to the area that had been shelled earlier, found the corpses of ten devils, seized five Type [-] sniper rifles, plus five Type [-] sniper rifles (provided for observers), and Five range-finding telescopes, plus some pistols and a fair amount of ammunition.

When Lao Zhou rushed over, he was still worried, "Platoon Leader Jiang, I'm sorry, we failed to detect the devil's snipers, how are you doing, comrades?"

The ghost snipers kept shooting before, and Lao Zhou and others still don't know what the casualties of Platoon Leader Jiang and his party are.

The first squad leader walked out of the line with a smile, exposed his injured shoulder, and said, "Well, I, the unlucky one, was hurt."

Old Zhou was stunned, looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see any other injured soldiers, he immediately let go of the big stone in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.

The soldiers laughed together, it was a hearty battle...
