Chapter 21: Patience

"Kill!" Volunteer fighters of several companies shouted and rushed to the positions defended by the British.

According to the veterans, shouting and killing can strengthen the courage of our troops, increase the morale of our army, and make the enemy timid. And in the eyes of foreigners who can't understand Chinese, there is another way of saying this.

In modern times, I have read Li Qiwei's writing about the Korean War, in which he described the shouts of the volunteers as "the unique noise of the Chinese army", of course, I think this characteristic noise also includes the sound of military trumpets and small trumpets.

In the trenches, I pointed my gun at the school under the high ground as if I were facing a great enemy, and my eyes were fixed through the scope on the rows of school buildings under the high ground, and my eyes wandered from window to door from time to time.

The 2.5x scope saw a lot of British helmets at this distance, but I didn't dare to shoot, because I believed that my opponent was not dead, and that he was hiding in a place I didn't know was quietly watching, ready to shoot a vengeful bullet in his hand.

His target is me!

It was then that I realized that there were so few places to hide in the position, and although there were trenches for cover, if I wanted to watch the enemy shoot at him, I would have to expose my head to the snow-white moonlight, while my opponent was hiding in the school building, and I could not even determine which one he was.

I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or what's the reason, but several times I seem to feel that he has discovered me, so I have to constantly change my position, and sometimes that inexplicable sense of fear will make me give up a kind of mentality, but thinking about the comrades who are charging, I still muster up the courage to poke out my head carefully.

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions rang out, and the battlefield was soon filled with gunsmoke, and the scene in front of him seemed to be covered with a thin veil looming. The snowflakes kept drifting, as if trying to hide the bloody and murderous aura of this battlefield.

The fighters rushed very quickly, holding their guns and carrying zha medicine bags, and by cover they sometimes crouched and sometimes scurried, and in a short time they rushed to a distance of two hundred meters from the enemy.

The firepower of the British counterattack was not strong, and the tank could not aim accurately at all during the night, only the machine gun on it could still be used, but it was good that half of the machine gun bolts were not frozen in this cold night.

Therefore, the main weapon of the British counterattack is still the rifle in their hands, and the British army's marksmanship really has nothing to say, an ordinary soldier still has a high hit rate under the interference of this moonlight, snowflakes, and human figures, and from time to time there are volunteer soldiers who are shot and fall to the ground at a distance of 200 meters.

However, the fighting will of the volunteer soldiers was surprisingly tenacious, and they never retreated under the bombardment of the Yankees' planes and artillery, not to mention the rifles in the hands of the British army, which were only a little stronger than the 38 big covers. As long as those volunteer soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground were not killed on the spot by being hit by the vital point, those who could climb would try their best to crawl towards the enemy's position, and those who could not climb picked up the weapons in their hands on the spot to assist their comrades.

And the marksmanship of the volunteer soldiers is not bad, the nickname of "three guns and eight roads" is not called in vain, under my scope, I can clearly see that one by one British soldiers fell under the guns of the volunteers, and then constantly replaced with new British troops......

As a result, one side is the elite troops who have traditionally been proficient in marksmanship and participated in World War II, and the other side has to practice marksmanship because of the lack of bullets.

The British army is superior in equipment, although the Lee-Enfield rifle and the 38 big cover are both single-shot guns, but the former has a fast rate of fire and has a capacity of 10 rounds, while the 38 big cover only has five rounds, which determines that the British army has a longer shooting time.

These two advantages allowed the British army to defeat the attack of nearly 40,000 Germans in half an hour with more than 10,000 men in World War I. Because of this battle, the Lee Enfield rifle was also known as the king of single-shot rifles, in other words, the best rifle in the hands of the British army except for the semi-automatic rifle.

This can't help but remind me of a movie made by a very famous director in modern China in the era of the Liberation War, in order to highlight that the protagonist is a veteran with rich combat experience, the director asked a group of run-of-the-mill people to hold a Lee-Enfield rifle and ask the protagonist what kind of gun it was. ”

It almost didn't make me faint on the spot......

Distracted! I hurriedly shook my head and pulled my thoughts back from the modern age. I was secretly ashamed in my heart, not to mention marksmanship, just by virtue of my current psychological state, I can't reach the quality that a sniper should have, and the reason why I was able to gain the upper hand in the contest with the master on the opposite side just now is more luck.

At this time, the volunteers advanced nearly a hundred meters, and I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the enemy's mysterious sniper had not yet appeared at this time, could it be that I was really killed or injured and lost the ability to fight? At a distance of 100 meters, the volunteers could throw a volley of grenades at any time, and then take advantage of the smoke of the grenades to rush up to engage the British in hand-to-hand combat, and then no matter how good his marksmanship was, it would be useless.

However, the closer the distance, the more obvious the advantage of the British defense, although the marksmanship of the volunteer soldiers can be said to be comparable to that of the British army, but the British soldiers are all hiding in bunkers, while the volunteers are exposed to the moonlight to charge, and at the same time they also enter the effective range of the two British heights behind the school, so the casualties of the volunteer soldiers quickly rose sharply.

Watching one after another volunteer soldiers fall to the ground with bullets, my heart also trembled, and what made me even more unbearable was that I could clearly see the enemy in the scope, and I could shoot them under my gun to provide cover for the volunteer soldiers.

One hundred meters, the casualties of the volunteer soldiers were close to one-third, and they were still falling one after another, and I was so stunned to see that my index finger on the trigger trembled slightly involuntarily.

Ninety meters, the fighters pushed forward with difficulty, and almost every step was bought with blood and lives.

Eighty meters ......

"Bang bang......" I couldn't help but pull the trigger one after another, and in an instant two British soldiers fell under my gun. But when I aimed at the third British, I felt a chill in my head, and a bullet almost hit my scalp and knocked my hat away. Then there was another sound of explosions on the battlefield.

He's finally shot!

I poked my head out as fast as I could, but to my dismay, I found that the school was full of fires from British fire, and I had no way of telling which one he was......
