Chapter 18: Sniper (3)

At the command of the Japanese army, a few old devils are pointing at the map.

When you say old, it's really not a scolding, but really old.

Let's just say that the commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, was born in 1884 and is now 53 years old.

This is very normal in the Japanese army, basically the commanders of the Japanese division at this time are basically fifty years old.

The faces of several old devils were full of joy, and they were in a good mood when they learned that the Iza Wing had broken through the defense line of the 16th Division of the Chinese army.

You know, before, when they learned that their troops had been blocked by China's motley troops for a few days, their expressions were embarrassed.

Therefore, as the commander of the division, Yoshizumi Ryosuke's face was a little unbearable, and today he specially sent the elite Iza Wing to launch an attack on the position of the 16th Division, which was relatively weak in the defense line of the Chinese army, hoping to use this as a breakthrough.

At this time, there were many Japanese troops attacking Yunzaohama, not only the 9th Division, but none of them captured the position on the south bank. If the 9th Division is the first to break through, Ryosuke Yoshizumi, as the commander of the division, will naturally have a lot of benefits, and if he achieves greater achievements, it may not be a dazzling resume in his military career.

In fact, before the attack of the Iza United, the defense line of the 16th Division of the Chinese Army was already full of holes. Yoshizumi Ryosuke has reason to believe that the Izo Wing, as the elite of the Imperial Army, has the ability to tear a hole in the defense line of this Chinese army.

But while they were talking and laughing, there was still a fierce sound of gunfire in the distance, and it was even stronger than before, which meant that there was still a fight.

As the chief of staff, Nakagawa Hiroshi said seriously, "Your Excellency the division commander, it seems that the Izuo Wing has not been able to quickly eliminate the remnants of those Shina troops. ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke smiled and disagreed, "It's just the stubborn resistance of the Shina people, they won't last long, I'm sure Iza Dasa won't let me lose 。。。。。 ”

Before the word 'hope' was finished, Yoshizumi Ryosuke's smile froze, because the embarrassed Iza Osa appeared at the gate of the headquarters, and that embarrassed appearance didn't look like what he should look like after winning the battle.

Iza Osa stood in front of Yoshizumi Ryosuke with a confused expression, and said loudly, "Your Excellency the Division Commander, the Iza Wing has failed to live up to the expectations of His Excellency the Division Commander and failed to occupy the position of the 16th Division in China. ”

"Yaga!" Yoshizumi Ryosuke strode up to Iza Osa, and angrily reprimanded, "The 16th Division of Shina has been reduced by more than half, and there will be no more than 3,000 capable fighters, don't tell me that your wing can't take such a small defensive position of the Shina army." ”

Iza Osa was a little weak-hearted, "Your Excellency the division commander, my wing had already captured the position of the 16th Division of China, but reinforcements from the China Army suddenly arrived. This support army is very brave, all the German equipment, my wing was caught off guard, this... That's when he was defeated. ”

"Yaga, the German mechanic of the Chinese people is not here at all!" Ryosuke Yoshizumi was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Just as Yoshizumi Ryosuke was scolding, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, and then bursts of cannon fire rang out near the headquarters, and one of the shells fell in the courtyard of the headquarters, and a few unlucky people went to see their emperor like this.

Not to mention that the attack was repelled by the Chinese army, it was actually shelled by the Chinese army, which made Yoshizumi Ryosuke angry.

"Yaga, fight back! Counterattack! Fight back for me! ”

Although the reinforcement of the Tax Police Corps repelled the attack of the Japanese 9th Division's Iza Wing, its artillery attack angered the Japanese army.

Although the equipment of the tax police corps is not weaker than that of the German armourers, it refers to light weapons, and in terms of heavy weapons, the tax police corps may not be able to catch up with the German armourers.

Therefore, after the Japanese army launched a retaliatory bombing, the tax police corps also died down and honestly hid in the position.

And the Japanese army soon learned that the Chinese army that had just repelled the Izo Wing was called --- Tax Police Corps.

。。。。。。

"Company commander, the devil's artillery fire is so fierce, we can't hold Yunzaobang with these people alone. Now there are only two Japanese divisions on the opposite side, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it is inevitable that we will lose our position. ”

At night, on the south bank of Yunzaohama, a second lieutenant platoon commander was squatting in the trench smoking a cigarette, looking up at the river outside the trench from time to time.

At this time, the river is quiet, but it does not mean that it has been quiet, you must know that the Japanese army launched an attack on the Transition River at night before.

The company commander glanced at Leng Jie and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, "What do you kid want to do so much, we are soldiers." It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and we must hold on for as long as we are required to defend unless we are all killed in battle.

Our Tax Police Corps is an elite unit comparable to the three major moral armourers and the teaching corps, and if we can't hold it, the other troops can't hold it. ”

The company commander's words have the same Hunan accent as the great man, but the great man is from Xiangtan, Hunan, and the company commander is from Xiangyin, Hunan.

Not only is the company commander from Hunan, but two-thirds of the machine gun company of the 4th Regiment of the entire Tax Police Corps is from Hunan, but Leng Jie is from Sichuan.

Because it was a machine gun company, the position of the machine gun company was very important, and it was also the target of the Japanese army's key attack. So even at night, you can see a lot of soldiers carefully wiping the machine guns, for fear of breaking them.

To deal with the machine guns of the Chinese army, the Japanese army preferred to use grenadiers. On the Songhu battlefield, more than half of the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army were knocked out by the Japanese grenadiers, especially the heavy machine guns.

Later generations recorded that the 18th Army of the Central Army, which was the core unit of the civil engineering department, Chen Cheng's starting unit, had 32 of the 36 heavy machine guns of the 42nd Brigade of the 14th Division all shot down by the Japanese army's grenadiers and flat-fire artillery.

Of course, there is also a way to restrain the devil's grenadiers, that is, to move positions after firing a few hundred rounds.

The light machine gun is okay, it will be transferred after a few hundred rounds, which is not so easy for a heavy machine gun weighing 100 catties, and the transfer of the heavy machine gun will also have a great impact on the defense line.

But the machine guns of the machine gun company are rarely destroyed by the grenadiers of the devils, because there is Leng Jie, a sharpshooter.

Although the opponent is a platoon commander, his main task is to move around the position of the machine gun company and clear those targets that threaten the machine gun company, and the grenadier is the first to do so.

"Lao Leng, how many devils did you kill during the day?"

An ensign next to him asked aloud as he wiped down his machine gun.

Hearing this inquiry, the other soldiers around also came over, even those who were far away and inconvenient to leave the position casually, they all pricked up their ears to listen.

You must know that Leng Jie is a celebrity in the machine gun company, and even the entire tax police corps.

The distance within 250 meters, where to shoot, the farthest sniped at a distance of 360 meters, this is without a scope.

Even in peacetime, the tax police corps, which trains more bullets than the Central Army, this marksmanship can be regarded as top-notch.

As for the target at a longer distance, the grasp is not great, because there is no scope, and Leng Jie's eyes are not clairvoyant.

Leng Jie smiled, raised his hands, made a three-three posture with his left hand, and made a two-tone posture with his right hand.

"32?"

Hearing this number, the people present couldn't help but take a cold breath, it is still possible for them machine gunners to kill so many devils in a day, after all, they use heavy machine guns, but Leng Jie uses rifles.

Even Li Hong, who was the commander of the machine gun company, was a little shocked, but he didn't expect that Leng Jie, who was usually inconspicuous, would have such good marksmanship on the battlefield.

"The highest rank is a Shao Zuo, a total of 1 Shao Zuo, 4 lieutenants, 7 military cao, 12 Japanese grenadiers, and 10 machine gunners."

Leng Jie is like a treasure, he remembers his sniping target clearly.

"Good boy, with you, why aren't you our Hunan mule?" Li Hong patted Leng Jie's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Company commander, are you hinting at me? After this battle, I will definitely find a Hunan mother-in-law. Leng Jie said with a smile.

The people around immediately burst into laughter, although most of the machine gun companies were from Hunan, but there were also other identities, Sichuan, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Hubei, but everyone could understand Hunan.

Looking at the mess, Li Hong also drove people away with a straight face, "Okay, okay, it's all scattered, keep an eye on it, don't let the devil touch it." ”

After these people dispersed, looking at the lights coming from time to time across the river, Leng Jie suddenly had an idea, and immediately looked at the company commander Li Hong.

"Company commander, I have a bold idea!"
