Chapter 43: The Demon of China (2nd Watch)
"What's the situation? Why did the devil suddenly stop coming up! ”
Daniel Zhang had just killed a ghost grenadier, and then found that the other devils either lay down or found an obstacle to avoid shooting, and no one attacked at all.
Daniel Zhang was Leng Jie's previous observer, and after a period of training, Leng Jie handed over one of the Type 38 sniper rifles to Daniel Zhang, which was considered a teacher.
In addition to Daniel Zhang, there was a person named Li Jichang not far away, who was Leng Jie's former deputy.
Both of them have gone through Leng Jie's training for more than half a month, although they are still some distance away from qualified snipers, but they have persevered from such a tragic battle and have grown quickly.
So Leng Jie didn't continue to keep the two of them by his side as observers or deputies, but let the two start killing enemies as snipers.
It's just that Leng Jie only has two sniper rifles in his hands, so Li Jichang uses a formal rifle.
The current marksmanship of the two can be comparable to that of the group of people with better marksmanship in the Japanese army, and the success rate of shooting within 300 meters is very high, plus Leng Jie taught the two a lot of skills as snipers.
Therefore, the ability to shoot targets is more flexible than that of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's marksmanship is generally very good, and there are relatively good sniper rifles Type 38 and improved Type 97.
But why didn't there be such a famous sniper in World War II?
It can be said that it is the spirit of bushido, and the spirit of bushido.
Just like the offensive tactics of the Japanese army, although there are a lot of them, but the favorite one is still that set, the artillery bombarded the infantry charge, although rigid, but easy to use, especially for the Chinese army.
Therefore, with Leng Jie's experience, the two can use some skills to make up for the lack of marksmanship.
After all, experience is sharpened, and Leng Jie can teach them some experience, but more of it depends on the two of them to summarize and adjust in actual combat.
Half of the devils who were sniped just now were done by the two of them.
A sniper can't do without a suitable observer, so Leng Jie has two new observers around him, and then he will spend half a month or a month teaching experience to the two of them and train them to become a qualified sniper.
These two people are not from Leng Jie's company, but two soldiers selected from the entire fourth regiment who are smart, calm, and have good marksmanship, named Guo Ying and Wang Guangming.
Because of Leng Jie's record, Sun Liren also realized the importance of snipers, although it may not be able to turn the tide of the battle, but if there are a few snipers, it can reduce a lot of pressure on his own troops.
Moreover, Leng Jie's record made the entire fourth regiment very envious and admired, so it was not difficult to choose two people to serve as Leng Jie's observers, but many people were willing to come.
Snipers have to be smart, but they can't be too lively.
Many times, in order to snipe a target, a sniper has to endure loneliness, especially when encountering a devil sniper, a small mistake can cost his life.
Not only Daniel Zhang discovered this situation, but also the entire four regiments of soldiers responsible for the broken post.
This is not like the usual style of the devil, he began to bend over and charge 'wow', and now why has it become obscene all of a sudden?
"Company commander, the devil won't be scared by you, right?"
Wang Sen, the leader of the third platoon next to him, guessed.
The three platoon commanders who followed Leng Jie in Liu's house: Chen Siming has been killed in battle; Li Chengshuo was wounded, and had retreated to the rear with the other wounded a few days ago; Only the three platoon commanders followed him.
Of course, there were not many people in the entire company at this time, less than 70 people.
As soon as Wang Sen finished speaking, everyone else looked at Leng Jie with admiration, and he was the one who could scare the Japanese army into not daring to attack.
Leng Jie smiled slightly, and whispered to the two observers next to him, "Guangming, Xiaoying, in this case, it is obvious that the Japanese army has discovered your existence." If you're the only one, it's best to retreat, because the devils are likely to use mortars or grenadiers, or even 92 infantry guns against you.
Snipers are also human beings and can't block shells. ”
The two nodded, and then Leng Jie bent down to Li Hong's side and suggested, "Commander, I think it's time to withdraw, there's no need to entangle with the devils, otherwise we won't be able to leave when the devil's army comes up." ”
Li Hong nodded and ordered, "The first battalion stays, the second battalion, the third battalion and the directly subordinate troops retreat, pay attention to the formation, cross cover the retreat, and can't be chaotic!" ”
Li Hong naturally didn't need to fight the Japanese army here, since the Japanese army had no intention of pursuing, why did he bother with the Japanese army.
Now that the Battle of Songhu has failed, how to preserve the remaining seeds of the Tax Police Corps is the most important.
After Li Hong's order was issued, the soldiers of the fourth regiment began to cover each other's retreat, and compared to other troops, they knew that they were retreating in a swarm and disorderly.
Li Hong led only more than 1,000 people, and he couldn't change the entire battle situation, and under the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, he couldn't even make a wave.
。。。。。。
Just when the Fourth Regiment was retreating to Kunshan, Suzuki Shaozo transmitted the news of the encounter with the 'Shina Demon' to the wing headquarters, and finally came to the division headquarters of the Ninth Division.
When he learned that the butcher who had shot many of his subordinate generals and junior officers was in front, Yoshizumi Ryosuke couldn't help it.
"Tell the 18th Brigade that I must destroy this Chinese man and use his head to wash away the shame of our division!" Ryosuke Yoshizumi roared.
Seeing that the commander of his own division was so uncontrollable, one can imagine how much hatred he had for Leng Jie, the Chinese sniper who shot many officers of his ninth division.
This is also normal, among his subordinates, there is a major general brigade commander and a captain of the Dazuo Wing who died at Leng Jie's hands, and there are countless other adjutants, and even some who were not shot by Leng Jie were also detained on Leng Jie's head.
Although the Tax Police Corps was disabled by his division, so many officers were killed in the battle, so Yoshizumi Ryosuke did not have a lot of face among the division commanders in the dispatch army.
Although Tegaoke said that he would find a way to get rid of Leng Jie, this could not wash away the shame of the Ninth Division.
"Your Excellency, that Shina demon's marksmanship is too good, there are many Shina troops around him, and the 18th Brigade may not be able to get rid of the other party." Hiroshi Nakagawa worried.
"Transfer Captain Fujita's chariot squadron to the 18th Brigade and tell them that if they can't get the demon's head, they will wait for their own execution!"
Nakagawa Hiroshi didn't expect Yoshizumi Ryosuke to be so angry that he actually transferred all the tank squadrons to the 18th Brigade.
Don't look at the 18th Brigade as a brigade, but in fact, there are not many people, the previous losses were very large, and the entire brigade added up to the size of only one wing.
However, with the strengthening of this tank squadron, the 18th Brigade is not afraid even if it encounters a single army of the Chinese army, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with the remnants of the Tax Police Corps!
Leng Jie knew that he was hated by the Japanese army now, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to actually dispatch a brigade and a tank squadron, which was too much to look up to himself!
At this time, Leng Jie was retreating to Kunshan, then turning to Suzhou, and then retreating to Nanjing, not knowing that there was a menacing Japanese army, and the target was himself.
However, it is worth it for Leng Jie to let so many Japanese soldiers chase after him.
