Chapter 121: The Advantage of Being the First Move

Yoshio Tachibana has returned to the ancestral hall. [No pop-up novel network]

At this moment, Tachibana Yoshio was staring at the sand table in front of him for a moment.

The operational staff of the headquarters had already marked the relative positions of the various infantry brigades, artillery units, and cavalry units on the sand table with small red flags, and the six infantry brigades to which the Tachibana detachment belonged, except for two infantry brigades, were absent, and the remaining four infantry brigades, as well as the artillery and cavalry units, had all entered the designated positions.

Ogasawara Goro pointed to the sand table and said to Tachibana Keio: "Detachment leader, please see, the 2nd, 4th, and 6th Infantry Brigades have completed the encirclement of the entire Qixinghu area, and the 1st Infantry Brigade has gone deep into the swamp with the coordination of the artillery team, and is launching a sweeping operation against the remnants of the provisional 79th Division, and the cavalry team is ......."

"Alright, no need to say it." Yoshio Tachibana reached out and interrupted Goro Ogasawara.

"Hello." Ogasawara Goro paused heavily, and said, "Detachment leader, the only thing I'm worried about now is that the 1st Infantry Brigade will not be able to wipe out the remnants of the Provisional 79th Division before it gets dark. ”

Tachibana Keio said firmly: "Ogasawara-san, you are too worried, the provisional 79th Division will not last until dark. ”

"The provisional 79th Division will not hold out until dark?" Ogasawara Goro was surprised, "Why is the detachment leader so sure?" ”

"Because the Imperial Army has the advantage of being the first to move." Tachibana Yoshio said proudly, "Fighting a war is like a chess competition, the advantage of the first move is huge, and the chess battle can also erase the advantage of the first move through the eye, but the battlefield battle will not have such a good thing as the eye, so I dare to assert that the Chinese army will not last until it gets dark." ”

"The advantage of being the first mover?" A staff officer asked, "What are the specific advantages?" ”

"There are many specifics, and the biggest advantage of the first hand is to wait for work." Tachibana Keioo said, "The imperial army has been waiting in Hai'an Town for a night, and they have been recuperating for a long time, but the remnants of the provisional 79th Division have come from afar, counting yesterday's march, they have not rested for two days and one night, and they are already exhausted. ”

(Dividing Line)

In the swamp, the 2nd Company of the Independent Battalion was struggling to move forward.

"Poof." Wang Changfu fell into the mire because of one foot in the air.

Leng Tiefeng, who was walking beside him, hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Wang Changfu, and asked with concern: "Ah Fu, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, deputy camp, I'm fine, I can hold on." Wang Changfu shook his head, but beads of sweat the size of beans continued to seep out of his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

Leng Tiefeng looked around and found that others were no better than Wang Changfu.

There are more than 150 people in the entire 2nd Company, almost all of them have reached the end of the strong crossbow, and he Leng Tiefeng and Xu Rui can still hold on, no way, since yesterday morning, they have not had a good rest for 36 hours, even the iron-beaten King Kong can't support it, let alone the bloody body?

Leng Tiefeng was in a dilemma, and the footsteps of "poof" and "poof" suddenly sounded behind him.

Looking back, he saw Xu Rui chasing after him barefoot and stepping on knee-deep marshes.

"Walk, walk, don't stop." Xu Rui moved freely, walked like flying, and still maintained abundant physical fitness, Leng Tiefeng and the more than 100 remnants of the 2nd Company couldn't help but look sideways, thinking that the camp was really a monster, after such a long period of forced marching, it could still have such abundant physical fitness.

In a few moments, Xu Rui had already arrived in front of Leng Tiefeng.

Seeing Leng Tiefeng standing still, Xu Rui beckoned and shouted, "Let's go, why are you stunned?" ”

"I can't walk." Leng Tiefeng didn't have a good breath, "Do you think everyone is just like you?" ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, only to find that the remnants of the soldiers around him were already sweating like pulp, and their expressions were like dirt, even a strong soldier like Leng Tiefeng was already panting like a cow.

Xu Rui sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he was afraid that he would not be able to rest.

Otherwise, before the little devil could be killed, the brothers would all die of exhaustion.

At that moment, Xu Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then rest in place for five minutes." ”

Hearing Xu Rui say that he rested in place for five minutes, the remnants of the 2nd Company immediately cheered.

In the cheers of the remnants, Xu Rui pulled Leng Tiefeng aside and whispered: "You turn back with me, S disturb the devil, otherwise, it won't take five minutes for the little devil to catch up with us." ”

"Okay, I'll go back with you." Leng Tiefeng agreed without thinking about it.

At that moment, the two of them began to sort out the equipment on their bodies, Leng Tiefeng first untied the heavy backpack on his back, since he was going back to S to disturb the devil, of course he couldn't be stupid with the backpack, Leng Tiefeng untied the backpack, and took out a few captured bullet boxes from the backpack, and added the bullets inside to the leather bullet box on his body.

After thinking about it, Leng Tiefeng took out two melon grenades from his backpack and handed one of them to Xu Rui.

Leng Tiefeng prepared these two melon grenades not to blow up devils, but to keep them at the last moment, to cut himself off, as an elite who had studied at West Point, Leng Tiefeng knows very well how terrible jungle warfare is, no matter how powerful you are, but anything can happen in jungle warfare.

When you run out of bullets and people are injured again, this grenade is precious, at least it can ensure that you will not be captured by devils, at least it can save you from endless suffering after being captured, it may be difficult for Westerners to understand this, but in the genes of Eastern culture, the belief that literati and warriors fight to the death has been integrated into the bone marrow.

Xu Rui didn't answer, just sneered and said, "You don't need to bring this thing, right?" ”

After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "If it really comes to that moment, you will give me a ride, and similarly, if you fall to that point, I will definitely give you a ride." ”

"Yes." Leng Tiefeng was relieved when he heard this, and put the two grenades back in his backpack.

At that moment, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng took the 38 big cover, and turned back along the original road.

However, the little devil came faster than Xu Rui expected, and the two walked back less than five hundred meters before Xu Rui heard footsteps in his ears.

Xu Rui's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The little devil came so fast. ”

Leng Tiefeng said coldly: "It's not surprising, who let the little devil take the lead." ”

Taking the lead is a lot of benefits, and just one to wait for work is an incomparable huge advantage.

Xu Rui turned his head to take a look and found that there were two particularly tall trees nearby, so he turned around and gestured to Leng Tiefeng, Leng Tiefeng understood, and then the two of them carried the 38 big cover on their shoulders, and then used their hands and feet together, and quickly climbed up the tree, until they went up to the treetops that were only arm thick, and they could hardly bear the weight of the two of them, and then sat down on the branches.

Xu Rui raised the telescope and looked ahead, and saw a team of devils passing through a swamp in front, because both sides of the swamp were dense forests, so it was impossible to see the front and back teams of the devils, but just the devils exposed to the water surface of the swamp, there was almost a reinforcement team of seventy or eighty people.

Xu Rui closed his eyes and felt that the wind speed was about two meters per second.

Turning his head again, Leng Tiefeng had also used the thumb ranging method to measure the approximate distance between the two sides, eight hundred meters.

Xu Rui used tactical sign language to transmit the wind speed to Leng Tiefeng, and then the two of them turned the door up at the same time, raised their guns and aimed, at a distance of 800 meters, looking forward from the door, the devils who were passing through the swamp were like black spots, not to mention the head, even the human body seemed very small, so Xu Rui did not dare to hold it up.

Xu Rui aimed at a devil flag bearer in the queue, first set aside a ballistic offset according to the wind speed, and then set aside an advance amount according to the forward speed of the devil flag bearer, and then Xu Rui's right thumb gently hit the trigger, and then gently pressed down, inadvertently, the 38 big cover on Xu Rui's right shoulder shook violently.

A popping bean-like explosion poured into Xu Rui's ear hole in an instant.

At the same time, a shot 6. The 5mm caliber pointed copper-core bullet had already spun and whistled away at high speed, and a second later, in the swamp ahead, the devil flag bearer with a plaster flag on the rifle bayonet fell down with a pop, and almost at the same time, another devil soldier not far from the devil's flag bearer also fell.

The blow came unusually suddenly, but the little devil's reaction was extremely fast.

Almost at the moment when the devil army Cao and the devil standard-bearer fell, the devils in the front and back quickly dispersed, and the tactical movements were extremely skillful, and there were several fierce devils who squatted directly in the swamp, raised the 38 big cover and aimed ahead, and began to search for the location of Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng, and soon, they locked on the two big trees where Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng were hiding, because the crowns of these two big trees were significantly higher than the nearby trees.

After finding the target, more than a dozen devils crouching on the spot opened fire one after another.

Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng were unmoved, compared with Taiwanese devils or Korean devils, no matter physical fitness, tactical literacy or cultural level, the Japanese devils are more than a cut higher, but even if they are well-trained Japanese devils, they can hit targets 600 meters away are already excellent.

With a distance of 800 meters, it is rare to be able to guarantee a hit rate.

Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng squatted steadily on the branches, unhurriedly pulled the bolt to push the bullet to load, raised the gun, aimed, and then gently pressed the trigger, with every time the two of them fired a gun, the devils who were half-squatting in the swamp in front of them would inevitably fall, and in less than a moment, the dozen devils all fell.

However, at this time, four devils came out of the forest carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun.

"!" Xu Rui immediately cursed, and an upside-down onion tumbled backwards from the treetops.

The distance of 800 meters has exceeded the limited S range of the crooked handle light machine gun, and of course the 38 big cover can be hit, but few devil soldiers can ensure the accuracy of the hit rate, but the Type 92 heavy machine gun is different, the Type 92 heavy machine gun not only has a long S range, but also has an extremely stable trajectory, a small dispersion area, and can be suppressed by fire from a distance of 1,000 meters.

Leng Tiefeng's reaction was not much slower than Xu Rui's, almost as soon as the two of them tumbled down from the treetops, the screams of bullets filled the ears of the two of them, and when they looked up after landing, they saw that the treetops of the two big trees they had just hid in had been smashed to pieces by dense bullets, and tree debris and leaves were flying all over the sky.
