Looking at the completion of the rearmament, the guard platoon of the Snow Shame Battalion equipped by the Japanese army in Yishui, and the guard company of the teaching corps who were ordered to come to cooperate with the operation, could all feel that the guard platoon brought by Hu Biao to Jinling was not inferior to them in the slightest.

Before coming, as the company commander of the first guard company, Liu Quan originally thought that Hu Biao would refuse their help. As a result, the first task that Hu Biao sent to the guard company was to let them protect Zhao Xian, who was acting with the team.

In addition, the most surprising thing for Liu Quan was that seeing the equipment brought by the first company of guards, Hu Biao walked up to a soldier with a little joy and said, "Soldier, can you lend me your gun?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Although the questioned soldier was confused, he simply handed the rifle he was carrying to Hu Biao. Looking at this Mauser rifle with a scope, Hu Biao felt that this should be the so-called 'Mauser 98K', the magic gun in the chicken game!

Raising the gun to aim, Hu Biao found that the scope magnification of this gun was not high. But even so, Hu Biao felt that this primary version of the sniper rifle, if there were a few more, could also improve the combat strength of the guard platoon.

Thinking of this, Hu Biao quickly said: "Company Commander Liu, how many such guns do you have in your company?" ”

"Report sir! Of this kind of guns, our company is only equipped with six! This is the rifle that was used earlier to train sharpshooters! ”

"Company Commander Liu, how far can a soldier with this gun hit a little devil with one shot?"

"About three hundred meters! Beyond 300 meters, the hit rate will be greatly reduced. This rifle with a scope is specially designed to deal with the little devil grenadiers and machine gunners, and the whole corps is only equipped with our guard battalion. ”

Although I don't understand why Hu Biao is so interested in this kind of gun, Liu Quan knows more or less that many soldiers like this kind of gun. The reason is that a rifle with a scope can shoot farther than a normal rifle when firing.

After listening to Liu Quan's explanation, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "With this gun, how far can your soldiers with the best archery skills hit the target?" It can be a training achievement, or it can be a battlefield achievement. ”

"This has not been specifically counted! However, someone in our headquarters had killed 600 little devil officers with this shot earlier. But there are not many sharpshooters of this kind, and sometimes shooting at targets 300 meters away depends more on luck! ”

"Director Chen, can you help coordinate with General Gui, I hope to exchange ten of these rifles with scopes with him, money or other Japanese-style weapons. This gun is very useful for improving the combat effectiveness of my guard platoon, please help! ”

Faced with Hu Biao's request, Chen Gongshu quickly said, "Ten branches?" That shouldn't be a big deal! This kind of sniper rifle was also a training gun purchased by the military department from Germany earlier to train sharpshooters, and a total of more than 100 were purchased at that time.

Later, the tax police corps also purchased a batch, and the team under my command also prepared five. If you really need it urgently, I'll give you the five rifles first. Later, I will borrow a few more from General Gui, and it shouldn't be a problem to make up ten sticks! ”

"Good! Brother Chen's feelings, Hu remembered it in his heart. If you can get out safely this time, Hu will definitely find a way to repay it! ”

"You're welcome! It's all my own brothers, what are you doing so politely! ”

Chen Gongshu, who smiled politely but was very happy in his heart, didn't understand why Hu Biao cared so much about a few rifles. Although this rifle with a scope is indeed farther than an ordinary rifle, it is still not very useful on the battlefield!

In many cases, as soon as the Japanese spotted a position where gunners were shooting their officers or machine gunners in succession, they would immediately use mortars or grenadiers to carry out shelling. No matter how powerful the sharpshooter is, if he encounters the cannonball of the little devil, it will be the same end!

But for Hu Biao, there are ten primary versions of sniper rifles that can train professional snipers. These sniper rifles will play a crucial role in infiltrating surprise attacks and even decapitation operations.

A good gun, for a militant like Hu Biao, is a good baby that can really make him happy!

On the way to Purple Mountain, after Chen Gongshu's personal appearance, Gui Shuzhen also happily gave Hu Biao ten rifles equipped with scopes. As for the so-called buying and exchanging, Gui Shuzhen didn't seem to mention it, and directly said that he would give it to Hu Biao.

Not only did they send ten rifles, but they also came with a thousand rounds of ammunition. Seeing these guns and bullets, Hu Biao also knew that Gui was really unwilling to ask for money and exchange, and he also hoped that Hu Biao owed him favors. It's easy to pay back the money, but it's hard to repay the favor!

Fortunately, Hu Biao also said happily: "Director Chen, please bring a message to General Gui, Hu has written down this situation!" ”

"That's good! Brother Hu, I'll send you here, if you have something later, let's contact the radio, cherish! ”

"Brother Chen is the same, cherish!"

After hugging their fists and saying goodbye, Hu Biao and his entourage, under the leadership of Liu Quan, quickly rushed to the Purple Mountain position held by the Third Brigade and the Fifth Regiment of the Teaching Corps. Compared to the fierce confrontation when they first entered the city, the gunfire on that side seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Knowing that it should be the Japanese army that suspended the offensive, there would definitely be a more violent attack later. Taking the Purple Mountain, a strategic location, the Japanese army will be able to control the entire Jinling City, and its main force will be able to drive straight into Jinling City.

In view of this situation, Hu Biao naturally did not dare to delay more time. When Xu Sandao informed that a Japanese patrol team was found ahead, Hu Biao said: "Guard platoon, change military uniforms, and prepare to camouflage infiltration!" ”

"Yes!"

The first company of guards who cooperated with the battle looked at Hu Biao and the others who took out the military uniform of the little devil from their backpack, and quickly changed into the military uniform of the little devil. Put the weapon on your back again, it looks not much different from the little devil!

During this period, Hu Biao also said directly: "Company Commander Liu, in view of the unknown enemy situation ahead, you and your people will stay here for the time being." I'll send someone to inform you later if there's a need.

Remember, this has reached the outlying positions of the Japanese army, and there should be a large number of little devils in front. If they find out that you are hiding here, they will inevitably send troops to surround and suppress you. Therefore, you must hide and protect Lieutenant Zhao Xian! ”

"Understood! Don't you really need our help? ”

"Sorry! I know that you are all elites from the teaching corps, but you should not be familiar with this kind of camouflage reconnaissance. Besides, I didn't prepare the little devil military uniform you need, so I can only ask you to stay here first. ”

"Good! I obey orders! ”

In the end, Liu Quan, who did not force the team to act, still ordered the troops very wholeheartedly to set up a warning and blocking position in the same place. As for Zhao Xian, who stayed with him, he always put the radio station he carried in his sight.

At this moment, Hu Biao personally led the guard platoon, avoided the Japanese patrols set up in the outer positions, and infiltrated the rear of the Japanese troops who were attacking the Purple Mountain position. To Hu Biao's delight, they quickly touched the rear camp of the Japanese army.

In fact, Hu Biao and others were able to discover the Japanese camp so smoothly, as well as the artillery position not far from the camp, more because the Japanese army lit many lighting objects on the camp and position, and these lighting objects instantly became the best guiding lights.

Taking out the binoculars to lurk and reconnoitre, Xu Sandao said excitedly: "Captain, this military camp should be the headquarters of the little devils, right?" There are not many troops in the artillery positions over there! ”

Listening to Xu Sandao's words, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Leave a team of people and continue to observe this military camp to see if there are any new discoveries." The rest of you, follow me to the artillery position of the little devils and look for a chance to do a vote! ”

"Yes!"

Leaving a few soldiers who were good at lurking to continue reconnaissance, Hu Biao and his party sneaked near the Japanese artillery position. Looking at the Japanese artillery still busy in the artillery position, Hu Biao speculated that there would definitely be artillery bombardment later.

Carefully observing the alert troops outside the artillery position, Hu Biao found that these alert troops were very lax. Perhaps, in the eyes of these little devils, no one dares to go deep into the hinterland and raid their heavy artillery positions.

Moreover, at this moment, Jinling City was already surrounded by regiments, and the only Third Brigade of the Teaching Corps that stuck to the Purple Mountain had already fought with them for two days and one night. Looking at this plane, the Japanese army in charge of the attack tonight must also launch a strong attack.

Only by taking the Purple Mountain position can the follow-up troops advance into Jinling City with confidence. In order to solve this threat as soon as possible, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for attacking the Purple Mountain position, sent its infantry wing to attack in turn.

In the eyes of the commander of the Japanese division, only in this way could the will of the defenders who held the Purple Mountain position be broken and the defenders dragged to a state of exhaustion. As long as the defenders could not hold on, the Japanese army, as the attacking side, would take advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack.

But at this moment, the Japanese commander in charge of the attack had no idea that a group of uninvited guests had entered their rear camp. The arrival of this group of uninvited guests may bring them a fatal crisis.

Looking at the mountain artillery placed in the artillery position not far away, Hu Biao knew that this was the main equipment of the infantry wing of the Japanese army's main battle division. The caliber of this mountain artillery should be the most common seven-five caliber, and its power is greater than that of ordinary infantry guns and mortars.

Carefully calculating the distance between the artillery position and the front barracks, Hu Biao felt that this distance was not too short. If you can take down the artillery position and move the muzzle, it will be a lot of fun.

Calling a few generals around him, Hu Biao began to discuss the battle plan and assign the corresponding combat tasks. After a while, Xu Sandao led a squad and quickly returned along the road, ready to pick up a company of guards.

As for Hu Biao and his entourage, they began to deploy the task of capturing the mountain artillery position. In order to gain more time for the shelling, Hu Biao also arranged for Hu Minyi and others to start laying mines and ambush positions on the road leading from the barracks to the artillery positions.

Everything was ready, Hu Biao, who took out the special warfare bow and crossbow, looked at the Japanese artillery who began to prepare for the shelling, and waved his hand: "Out!" ”

With the help of the sound of artillery shelling, Hu Biao hoped to solve the alert troops outside the Japanese artillery positions without using their guns. Although it was a little difficult, Hu Biao felt that it was not without opportunities.

If he can successfully solve the alert troops near the artillery position, then Hu Biao will be able to smoothly control the mountain artillery position in front of him. Although there are not many professional artillerymen around, the soldiers can do the work of sending artillery bombardment and pulling bolts.

What Hu Biao had to do was to smash the shells stuffed into the chamber of the cannon unexpectedly on the heads of the little devil barracks and the attacking troops according to the situation detected before. I believe that the defenders on the Purple Mountain will be ecstatic when they see it!
