Chapter 297 The power of heavy sniping, victory
The enemy's attack was very fierce. At the beginning of the war, several elite troops were used to penetrate horizontally, using tactics of beheading, hitting the waist and cutting the tail, and using their superior forces to divide the locust army and the imperial army into four parts.
If it was a large encirclement, the Locust Army and the Imperial Army were together. Although the Imperial Army was unable to stand the battle, they did not dare to retreat and surrender easily under the supervision of the Locust Army. But now, Mata knew that the Imperial Army was difficult to fight independently, especially against opponents like the New Seventh Army.
The battle situation was just as Yamada was worried. Under the attack of artillery fire and fierce attack, the divided puppet troops quickly lost their will to fight. The final collapse was the destructive bombardment of more than a dozen flying thunder cannons. They began to retreat and surrender in panic. Some puppet troops even shot and killed Japanese consultants and stubborn puppet army officers as evidence anyway.
The weakness of the puppet army allowed the 27th Division to draw more troops to strengthen the attack on the Japanese devils. Masada soon realized such changes.
"Imperial Army--" Mada gritted her teeth and looked at the direction where the gunshots stopped. That was where Shizuki's troops were. They were finished, or surrendered, and soon the enemy would put more pressure from that direction.
Snowflakes fell on Yata's head, his body and face were like wood, without any awareness.
"Boom!" An explosion was very close, and a heavy machine gun position was destroyed by direct artillery fire. The broken limbs and arms, gun parts, accompanied by soil and snow dust, flew into the air.
Masada's eyes turned and seemed to have regained consciousness. He observed around, pulled out his command knife, howled and commanded the troops to continue fighting.
The enemy not only had an advantage in artillery fire, but also overwhelmed the locust army in the firepower of light and heavy weapons. Mada helped realize this through this one hour of fierce fighting.
The light machine guns were made in Czech Republic, so numerous that Masada didn't believe his ears; the screams like chainsaws were even more terrifying. The 92 heavy machine gun was suppressed, and rows of locust troops fell under the dense rain of bullets shot out by the weapons.
Moreover, the enemy was extremely well prepared, either wearing a white cloak or wearing a cotton coat, and its target in the snow was not obvious. On the other hand, the locust army, the yellow-green tweed coat, was lined with white snow, and was as eye-catching as a target.
Think carefully, prepare well, fierce but not lose the rules. This is really a terrible opponent.
Masada gritted his teeth, and he wanted to organize another breakthrough or meet with another divided friendly army. Although several impacts suffered heavy losses under the enemy's dense firepower, he didn't take action and just waited for death.
"Warriors, for the Empire, for..." Masada jumped up, waved his commanding knife, and inspired the locust army, but his voice came to an abrupt end.
The locust soldiers, who were motivated by morale, saw the scene of the tragic liu. The yelling commander's right shoulder was splattered on his chest, his arms were torn from his shoulders, and his small half of his body turned into a bloody ball, and he fell into the snow with a thump.
"It's so fucking satisfying!" Xu Xiaoyan grinned. Even with the retractor, the recoil was much greater than that of the 38th sniper rifle, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He was completely immersed in the pleasure of using this killer to kill the Japanese.
When he clicked 50 heavy snipers, he only created less than ten pieces. Those who were completely drawn were the most elite snipers for adaptive training. As a senior sniper, Xu Xiaoyan fell in love with this guy with a long range and great power at once. But training is training, and actual combat is practical combat. When he saw the Japanese being beaten to death, the feeling was completely different.
"The wind is a bit strong!" Xu Xiaoyan gently adjusted the scope and smiled at the observer next to him, "But the bullets this guy shoots are enough to touch."
The observer held the binoculars and nodded slightly, without fully adapting from the shock of the bloody scene.
"Looking for the big official, fighting the soldiers is a waste." Xu Xiaoyan approached the scope and observed it himself.
"Give it to Yaxi!" With a whirlwind of tone, after a little chaos, the commander who replaced Masada urged the Japanese to charge.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The grenade launcher fired first, and then the sixty and eighty-two mortars behind it poured the shells into the Japanese charging team. The light and heavy firepower screamed, weaving a line of death to intercept.
Fire flashed, shrapnel flew, smoke rose up, the Japanese's remaining limbs, gun parts, and cloth pieces were lifted up in the air.
Before the gunfire was dissipated, the surviving Japanese stumbled out, like monsters suddenly emerging from the smoke. They moved forward frantically and charged desperately in the rain of bullets and bombardment.
The position was quickly filled with bloody corpses! The fighting on the front line of the position had not stopped yet. In the light of the explosion, you could see the soldiers on both sides fighting, and you could also hear angry roars and shrill screams.
After paying a heavy price, the divided Japanese finally got together. But they did not escape. The collapse of the puppet army enabled the 27th Division to adjust its troops and form a more tight siege of the enemy.
A brief battle interval means a more intense battle. At this time, less than a thousand Japanese soldiers who met together were left, and more than half of them were lost.
The snow is still falling, neither rush nor slow. The wind is still blowing, with chill.
Bang! A cold gunfire sounded, and a Japanese officer who was protruding his head to observe seemed to be hit by a mace. He suddenly leaned back, and his entire head and the telescope became a bloody and almost destroyed.
Large caliber heavy machine gun! The Japanese officer judged based on his common sense that the opponent was using a large caliber heavy machine gun, and it was very likely that it was the American Browning M1917 heavy machine. But can this heavy machine gun be used for single-fire shooting? The Japanese officer was not clear in his heart. But he would never have dreamed that the New Seventh Army would have a heavy sniper rifle, with the assistance of a six-fold scope, the effective range reached 1,200 meters.
We strive to accurately process guns, design of the warhead with the stern cone of the ship, and the new launching medicines to make the bullets more accurate. Similarly, in addition to carefully selecting and replacing the six-fold scope, the bullets have also begun to be specially modified and customized. The new launching medicine has a higher ignition point, and the warhead has been changed from the traditional extrusion process by armor, covering the closure from the back to the front, and finally leaving a small hole at the tip of the bullet. Later generations called this bullet a sharp bullet, because the deformation of the bullet core is greatly reduced, which is very conducive to improving the shooting accuracy.
"Without advanced ammunition, there will be no advanced weapons." This is a saying circulating in the light weapons industry. For ordinary soldiers, the amount of ammunition is very important. But for snipers, high-precision bullets mean the highest level of "one shot, one life".
Therefore, while producing copper-clad steel-shelled bullets in large quantities, Yang Tianfeng did not forget to tilt the information and specially gave special training to snipers. In addition, the regularization and systematicization of sniper training, the snipers of the New Seventh Army have become increasingly the killer weapon in the army. Designated hunting, observation with the team, fire support, patrol, fixed-point ambush, etc., their value and role are increasingly valued.
Perhaps, Yang Tianfeng was the first person in the world to pay attention to snipers, formulated guidelines and tactics for them, and held training classes. You should know that during the Soviet-German War, many officers believed that snipers were not much better than rogue villains, and that snipers had no decent status and were a dishonest way of combat.
But for Yang Tianfeng, all means to eliminate the Japanese can be used because they are beasts. Moreover, war is a ruthless system, neither for "morality" nor for "heroic". The use of the greatest force is its means, and all this has nothing to do with the victim. Whether he was hit by a sniper rifle or bombed into pieces by a shell.
The snipers have undergone rigorous training and have obtained certain unspeakable skills in actual combat. They use terrain and camouflage, as well as their own professional skills to fight, and any objection seems funny in the face of all this.
Another officer died tragically, which caused some commotion to the Japanese. The snipers lurking in the snow and pretending to be extremely clever have caused a lot of panic to the Japanese. People will instinctively feel even more terrifying about the invisible murderous intent.
The clothes were already wet and frozen in the wind and snow. Every Japanese man showed fatigue on his face, but the fierce battle would not stop for too long. Even for a brief pause, the cold murderous intent would cover them all the time.
With the sound of the heavy mortars firing, the shells fell down; the 82 and 60 mortars also joined the chorus, and the explosions mixed together, like vague thunder.
There is nothing mysterious about the approaching or explosion of a shell. When you hear the whistling sound of a shell approaching in the distance, your body's muscles will tighten and you will feel very helpless.
But under the dense fire of artillery, the terrible impact of the explosion on the body and emotions will be amplified. The shells not only blow up a person's body, but also torture a person's mind and make him lose his mind. Every time the bomb sounds, he feels tortured, listless, and exhausted.
Accompanied by dazzling flashes, explosions came one after another, shrapnel roared and burst out, tearing the air. Before the smoke had dissipated, the soil and snow fell down, mixed with broken limbs and broken arms and gun parts.
The shelling lasted for several minutes, but it seemed very long for the Japanese in desperate situations. Because they had hardly tasted this taste, they usually watched their artillery bombardment.
The shells seemed to be a little sparse, but with the screams and gunfire, the battle suddenly broke out. Under the cover of the shelling, the opponent in white camouflage had quietly touched it, and the closest distance was only a few dozen meters. These opponents were silent, obviously old men of Ye Zhan's sneak attack.
The sound of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing were heard, penetrating the wind and snow.
The Czech-made, flowering mechanism, and shotguns sprayed dense rain of bullets, and followed the barrage formed by the grenades, and in a very short time, a breakthrough was formed on the left side of the Japanese. The Japanese resisted desperately and kept drawing troops, but they could not stop the opponent from pouring in from the breakthrough point and formed a division and encirclement of their defense system.
In fact, the ending was already destined. Apart from the thousands of puppet troops, the 27th Division had to deal with only one thousand seventy or eight hundred Japanese devils seriously.
The fierce battle lasted for more than six hours, and more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out, and none of them missed the net. Except for more than 30 Japanese soldiers who were captured, the rest of the locust army was shot dead; but the puppet army only suffered less than 500 casualties, and more than 1,500 became prisoners.
Just over an hour ago, the sudden counterattack of the Independent Brigade also declared victory. More than 200 Japanese soldiers and more than 700 puppet troops were monitored at the breakthrough, and more than 1,000 enemies were eliminated, with only a few dozen enemies missing and fled back to Fengxian.
…………………
Yang Tianfeng did not rush to the front line to take charge of command, but in the office, he always kept in touch with the staff department in front, and had the latest battle situation one by one in real time.
When news of the battle in Lulou Town came, Yang Tianfeng let out a sigh of relief. Although the battle was still going on, there was no suspense to the victory, and the difference was just the size of the result.
The situation is clear now. The enemy is in Feng, and the troops left behind in Shan and the two counties are no longer able to attack. They are either besieged by the 27th Division and the independent brigade; or they are temporarily monitored with a small amount of troops, and the main force is directly inserted into Yutai, cutting off the rear route of Ogawa's troops, and gathering and annihilation.
Liang Moqing and the General Staff’s opinion was to strike while the iron was hot, attack Yutai, cut off the enemy’s retreat route, and eliminate the main enemy forces in Huxi area in one battle. Then attack the city and take down the empty and isolated county towns such as Shan, Feng, Pei.
The desolate clouds were covered with snow and the dispatch of the Japanese planes was greatly affected. This was of course a favorable condition. However, Yang Tianfeng was still a little worried when the long-distance raid was stormed in the wind and snow. After receiving Liang Moqing's affirmative answer, he dispelled his doubts and agreed to the combat deployment to eliminate Xiaochuan.
The independent brigade monitored the enemy in Fengxian. After a short rest, the 27th Division headed north from Shunzhai Town, Huankou Town and Tangma Town. The troops were divided into three groups and rushed to the flanks of Ochuan's troops and the rear route. At the same time, the 25th Division retreated slightly, attracting Ochuan to continue to go deep into Pei County to facilitate the encirclement and annihilation.
As long as the encirclement is reached, the 3,000 Japanese soldiers led by Ochuan will not be able to escape and destroy them. Although this task is completed by the 25th Division alone and there is a possibility of success, it is not very sure. After all, the 25th Division must be wary of the enemies in Pei County and cannot fight Ochuan with all its strength.
When fighting a fierce lion and rabbit, he must do his best. Yang Tianfeng strives to win every battle, so he naturally needs to be fully prepared and have a grasp of victory. The troops used in the battle can also show his intentions and characteristics.
