Chapter 341: Battle of Northern Guangdong (4)
In the trees?
Hearing Li Weiguo's words, the soldiers around him obviously couldn't believe it, how could a sniper hide in a tree?
However, they quickly corrected their opinion, because the two grenadiers were killed by being shot in the head one after the other, and the direction was in the direction of the tree.
"Weiguo, what should I do?"
Seeing that Li Weiguo didn't answer, someone next to him hurriedly asked.
After thinking about it, Li Weiguo gave an order, "Don't move, shoot at the canopy of the big tree, and contain the Japanese snipers." The Japanese snipers were eyeing me, and there was more than one, and I had to find a way to change places. ”
"Shoot at the canopy? How did I forget? ”
A platoon commander next to him thought that he was actually frightened by the devil's sniper, and he blamed himself a little.
"All to the labor and management, beat hard!"
With the order of the platoon commander, the soldiers turned their guns one after another, fired at the canopy of the big tree, and even turned a light machine gun.
Even if he couldn't hit the Japanese sniper, but the falling leaves would affect the sight of the Japanese sniper, Li Weiguo took advantage of this time to stick his hat with a wooden stick and stretched out, and after a few seconds there was no movement, he guessed that the Japanese sniper was pinned down.
He took a sharp breath, and when he saw a pile of rubble next to him, he gritted his teeth and bent over and rushed out.
The expected pursuing bullet did not appear, Li Weiguo leaned against the stone and breathed a sigh of relief, and after relieving himself, he took out his telescope and began to observe the direction of the big tree, looking for the location of the Japanese sniper.
Perhaps it was the containment of friendly forces that prevented the Japanese snipers from continuing to hide, and soon Li Weiguo found a Japanese soldier tied to a tree in the binoculars.
Japanese soldiers tied to trees?
It is indeed tied, and Li Weiguo has watched it several times.
What's going on?
Although he didn't understand a little, he picked up the gun, began to aim and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Although it was a little far away, Li Weiguo could still feel the hit.
He knew there should be another sniper, but he didn't notice any trace of the other party just now.
"Li Weiguo, did you kill that sniper?" Someone next to him shouted.
"I don't know, I should have hit him, but I don't know if I'm dead or not!" Due to the dense canopy of the large trees, the view is somewhat obstructed.
"It's Nai's!" The squad leader spat on the ground with dirt, "The third shift is covered by fire, and the first and second shifts are rushing with me!" ”
As he spoke, the platoon commander picked up his rifle and scattered with two squads of soldiers, because Li Weiguo could not determine whether the Japanese snipers were still alive, they could only rely on this method to lure the Japanese snipers to shoot, and then Li Weiguo could find the position of the snipers.
However, until the final capture of the position, the Japanese snipers did not fire a single shot, which made Li Weiguo very puzzled.
It wasn't until they found two Japanese soldiers tied to tree trunks who had lost their breath that they knew what was going on.
One of the Japanese snipers was beaten into a sieve all over his body, apparently being hit during the previous cover of fire.
But this sniper was tied and did not fall.
The other sniper had fewer bullet holes, and Li Weiguo also found the gunshot wound he had caused.
"What a perverted way this little devil plays, tying a sniper to a tree? What is this? Fixed points of fire? ”
Seeing the Japanese army's somewhat strange sniper tactics, Li Weiguo didn't know how to describe it.
"Put away their sniper rifles and keep attacking!" Li Jichang said with a deep expression.
"Yes! Brothers, keep rushing! ”
。。。。。。
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the position of Zhangwushan is critical, and the army of China attacked the Zhangwushan position under the cover of artillery fire, and launched a fierce battle with the Murata brigade."
Wushi at the foot of Zhangya Mountain, Matsuokano has been paying attention to the battle on the mountain.
In his opinion, with the two squadrons of the Murata Brigade, it was not a big problem to hold the Zhangwushan Heights.
But that's not the case.
Ten minutes earlier, Captain Murata had already transferred the remaining squadron.
However, the four squadrons still failed to drive out the Chinese troops who had attacked the Zhangwushan Heights, and the fighting became more anxious.
"Nani?" Matsuokano looked puzzled, "What kind of army is the Shina army in front of you?" Although the previous Cantonese army was also very tenacious in its will to fight, it was still inferior to the army in front of it.
The army in front of us is more like a pack of wolves, preying on the lead wolf, and we are like prey. ”
"Your Excellency, this may be the reinforcement of the Shina people, that is, the 54th Army. According to intelligence sources, the 54th Army arrived in Shaoguan by train today and assembled at Qujiang. ”
"54th Army? Very strong in combat? ”
"Obviously!"
Matsuokano said in a deep voice, "Let the artillery brigade provide fire support to the Murata brigade, and the Yamamoto brigade will send two squadrons to reinforce the Murata brigade, and be sure to drive the Shina army that has attacked the high ground out of the high ground." ”
"Hey!"
However, Matsuokano's idea did not work, because after seeing that the Japanese army began to reinforce the highlands, the 40th Division also asked the 120th Regiment to launch an attack on Wugu to contain the Japanese troops here and make it impossible to effectively reinforce the Zhangwushan Heights.
Just two regiments put Matsuokano's three brigades in a difficult situation, which he did not expect.
However, the key to the battlefield is still in the battle for the Zhangwushan Heights, and whoever controls this commanding heights can grasp the initiative of the entire battlefield.
"Brothers, rush me!"
After Li Jichang shot and killed a Japanese lieutenant, he waved his right hand and commanded the troops to rush towards the highest point, and their purpose was to plant the military flag at the highest point.
The fighting here was also fierce, and the Japanese sent two squadrons around here alone, and the 119th Regiment also threw in a battalion of all of them.
