Chapter 41: Sneak Attack
"Ran!"
Almost as soon as I gave the order, a crisp gunshot rang out from beside me, and an enemy was shot in the head and fell. This is Li Pinghe's masterpiece, and I can't help but secretly praise it in my heart, this guy is not slow to react.
It wouldn't be surprising to hit that enemy. The target was not yet a hundred meters away from us, and we were aiming and 'shooting' at a condescending position, hiding in the trenches without much pressure, and any soldier of the regiment could 'finely' hit the enemy in the head. This doesn't tell the whole story of good marksmanship, like breaking a toothpick between a kid and a strong man.
But......
This Li Pinghe was able to take the lead in firing the first shot before I gave the order, and even before the words fell, which is enough to show his extraordinary reflexes. Survive on the battlefield. Sometimes it's not whether the marksmanship is good or not, but whether the reaction is fast or not, and whether you can make the right judgment and make a choice in the shortest time. At this time. Often just a second of hesitation is the difference between life and death. I know this very well myself, because I have encountered such situations many times in the past few months of fighting.
With Li Pinghe taking the lead in releasing a gunshot. The weapons in the hands of the warriors also roared. The bullets swept down in rows, and the enemy fell to the ground in piles, and the blood stained the position red, the enemy's body, and my eyes red. However, the embarrassment of the Canadian brigade lies in the fact that they do not have the quality and marksmanship of the British army, nor do they have the advanced equipment of the American army, so for the soldiers who are accustomed to fighting the nephews of the American army, this kind of firepower can not put any pressure on them at all, and the soldiers still easily use all kinds of weapons to crush those Canadian soldiers and unable to raise their heads.
Even more powerful is the new weapon in the hands of the volunteers.
According to the usual firepower of the volunteers, it is just bullets and grenades, even if there are a few 'mortars', it is a very few, and the joint *** always thinks that the volunteers are like this. But today it's different. Not to mention the various machine guns and submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers, the recoilless guns and rocket launchers also exploded in front of the position, and it was obvious that the target of these gunners was the tanks behind the enemy.
The Volunteer Army rarely used recoilless guns and rocket launchers, so the 'precision' was not high. Dozens of shells fell, and even if the tanks were only more than 200 meters away from us, there were still not a few shells that could hit. A few shots hit and it was a matter of luck. Moreover, hitting the front armor of the enemy tank did not do anything except to hide the high-altitude "shooting" machine gunner on it half-dead in the cabin.
Although the "Churchill" infantry tank has shortcomings such as slow speed and bumps, its armor protection capability is super good, and the thickness of the front armor of some models of this tank has even reached This level of protection greatly exceeds the front armor of the German "Tiger" tank. Even the most advanced "Pershing" tank of the Yankees now has only the thickest front armor, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the "Churchill" is an iron lump. It's no wonder that some people give it the nickname "predator" with thick skin and slow speed
Of course, the thick frontal armor of the "Churchill" tank was not penetrated by the anti-tank weapons in the hands of the soldiers, but the shells that went straight to the enemy tanks still stunned the Canadian infantry in front of the position, because this was the first time that so many long-range anti-tank weapons were used in the infantry.
"Bang!" There was a crisp gunshot next to him again, and Li Pinghe was already loading the second magazine at this time, but I still didn't shoot a single bullet. At this time, the enemy fell down under the position, and it was not so easy to 'shoot' and kill. But the rifle in Li Pinghe's hand still kept ringing, and almost every shot could poison the 'life' of an enemy. In his sight, all the enemies who were not well hidden or 'exposed' a small vital part were all knocked to the ground by him one by one without exception. Occasionally, he had time to glance at me, and that look seemed to be wondering why I didn't shoot, and it seemed to show off to me.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, raised my gun and looked through the sniper scope at the enemy's position. But in the end, I didn't shoot, because I really couldn't find someone worthy of my 'shooting'. The minions before the killing of the position did not arouse my interest, so I extended my gaze to the tank two hundred meters away. But unfortunately, the target was still not found. Because of the bombardment of the anti-tank artillery of the Volunteer Army, the high-altitude 'shooting' machine gunners on the tank and the machine gunners and gunners who used the tank as a cover to 'shoot' at our army's formation all hid!
"Boom!" At this time, the enemy tanks began to return fire, and the guns of more than two dozen "Churchill" tanks bombarded our position at the same time, blowing up the front of the position in a dusty air. The guns on the "Churchill" tanks were nothing, because they were not powerful and 'sophisticated' enough, and they did not pose a threat to the defense line of the Volunteer Army. The trouble was the three "Captain of Centennial" heavy tanks, which exploded not far in front of our trenches with several shells, and several soldiers were immediately wounded by shrapnel
Don't look at the British army's "Churchill" infantry tank has so many shortcomings, but this "Captain of Hundred" tank is a new type of tank comparable to "Pershing", it is the same as "Pershing", it was also developed to deal with the German army, but coincidentally, it also missed World War II.
Its front armor is also the same as that of the "Churchill" tank, and not only is it not slow and bumpy compared to the "Churchill". It is also equipped with large-caliber artillery and an advanced fire control system, which makes it very precise in shooting, and it can be said that it is the most advanced tank in Britain now.
However, fortunately, the fortifications of the soldiers were built on the side of the hilltop against the anticline, so even if its 'shooting' and 'precision' were high, it was difficult to effectively kill our troops.
It's just that this layer of barrage has been played. The machine gunners who used tanks as cover were once again 'tempting'......
"Bang bang" just then my gun went off.
After the gunshots rang out, I felt Li Pinghe beside me look at me as if he was frightened. I know why he was so surprised, because I had beaten these two enemies just as they were about to pop up in their heads. That's right, I shot before the enemy's eyes even saw it, and if it weren't for the white and red mass on the back cover of the tank, no one would have known that someone was trying to come out there.
It wouldn't be strange to say that I only hit one, but I hit two at almost the same time," Maybe I took advantage of what I had... A rifle can do such a burst, but Mosin Nagant can't, but I believe that even if Li Pinghe is holding in his hand ... He couldn't do that with a rifle either.
"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.
An enemy carrying a recoilless gun came out of his head and half-knelt beside the tank ready to 'shoot', this time I didn't 'shoot' the bullet right away, because I noticed that another enemy was following him with a shell, which made me realize that he hadn't loaded the shell yet, so I waited quietly through the scope until the enemy behind him ran up to the *** rear-loading shell of the recoilless gun" and at this time they were in a straight line under my gun, so my gun went off!
Due to the height, the bullet penetrated the neck of the first enemy, and hit the second, the enemy's 'chest'. The second enemy fell first. There was a red in the chest, a fist-sized hole, and then the first enemy was soft......
Canadian soldiers, who are not strict with themselves in peacetime, will inevitably make such low-level mistakes on the battlefield. If this were the British, they would definitely load the shells behind the tank before they came out to aim.
"Bang..."
I ignored Li Pinghe's gaze beside me, in fact, at this time, I only had the enemy around the tank, I focused all my attention on the front and back of the tank, and all the people and things around me were ignored by me. All I know is 'shooting' rifle bullets at every machine gunner or gunner who comes out of the tank.
When you run out of bullets, you change to a new magazine as fast as you can, and sometimes you trot along the trench for a while to change positions. It is not difficult to hit them at such a distance, except for one accidental touch by a soldier who ran by, it can be said that the gun is deadly, and the bullet is not missing.
The enemy who was on fire cover around the tank must have known that a sniper was aiming his gun at them, so after a while no one dared to come out again.
This is the role of snipers on the battlefield.
The marksmanship of every shot creates a strong psychological pressure on the enemy, making each of them feel that as soon as they emerge from their heads, a bullet will 'shoot' through their heads, so that all of them dare not act rashly. On the battlefield, this effect is sometimes not achieved by a few 'strong' machine guns or even a few 'guns'.
The reason why the Canadian infantry who were lying in front of our positions was that they still refused to retreat was entirely in the hope that the tank troops behind them would provide them with fire cover, so that they could rush forward when they were suppressed by the volunteer force. But after waiting for a long time and paying huge casualties, they were stunned to find that their tank troops did not dare to come out except for a few shells that could be fired by tank guns!
So there was only one way in front of them, and that was to retreat.
The retreat, especially when attacking only a few tens of meters from our position, undoubtedly lit up their backs in front of the volunteer soldiers. Originally, at least they had to wait until the firepower of the side temporarily suppressed the firepower of the volunteers before they began to retreat, so that the casualties would not be too great, but the death of more and more comrades around them and the inaction of the covering troops made them turn around and run desperately in fear.
The gunfire of the warriors rang out almost uninterruptedly, and rows of enemies fell neatly in front of us like harvested wheat. But what our Soviet-style weapons lacked was penetration, and the enemy running behind was very effective in blocking bullets for others. It wasn't long before they left behind hundreds of corpses. Under the cover of tanks, it retreated like a 'tidal' water.
At this point, I was thinking that if we had a few anti-aircraft machine guns in our hands, less than a tenth of these enemies would be able to run back.
"Withdraw to the pit!" The enemy retreats and I retreat, this is the eternal law of tunnel warfare, and the soldiers are also accustomed to this
When I gave the order, I grabbed my weapon and turned my back towards the pit "Captain Cui!" As soon as he returned to the regiment headquarters, Li Pinghe said to me with admiration on his face: "How did you do it, one gun weighed so many enemies that they didn't dare to take their heads"
"Actually, it's not that hard!" I smiled at Li Pinghe and replied, "Your marksmanship is also very good, but the difference between me and you is that your purpose is to kill as many enemies as possible, and my purpose." It's to make the enemy feel my presence and make the enemy afraid! ”
"Make your presence felt by the enemy? Scared the enemy? Li Pinghe seemed to understand what to do
Head.
The sound of artillery "rumbled" again, and by the dim light in the tunnel, I saw that Deputy Regiment Commander Liu, Chief of Staff Jiang and others were discussing something with the two soldiers sent by the artillery unit in front of the map. I wanted to say some more flattering words, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't hear anything except the sound of cannonballs. He smiled helplessly and motioned for everyone to sit down on the wooden chairs.
The sound of the cannon made it impossible for the comrades to 'talk', so everyone had to stare bitterly in the tunnel, and the guards handed each of us a few cups of fragrant hot tea, but soon the dust seeping from the top of the tunnel was 'made' to drink. However, Jiang 'Chun' increased his strength, and soon put a chessboard on the table to assassinate Li, and everyone was idle and had nothing to do with the excitement on the side, and occasionally pointed and coaxed on the side, although they heard each other's voices, they were also very lively. Li Pinghe, who was still frightened when he saw this relaxed scene, was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, no wonder he, it is normal for people who have not escaped the tunnel to be nervous and afraid in this small and stuffy space at first glance, not to mention that there are countless shells whistling and roaring outside! I think when I hid in the tunnel for the first time, I was so scared that I almost lost half my life.
When I watched Li Heping swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva and endure the fear in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. This guy is good at everything! is also a competent political commissar and a qualified soldier, but how can he still talk about the political trial, "But whatever!" Then I quickly thought that he is no longer from the Political Tribunal, is he? Even if he still held that view, what could he do?
Thinking that I was relieved in my heart, I pulled him to sit down on a wooden chair and joined the fight in the Chu River and Han realms."
After a few rounds of fighting on the chessboard, I gradually felt that the sound of the cannon overhead was a little strange, although the shells were still blasting towards our position. But the interval between the cannons seems to be regular, that is, there is a pause for a while, and then a pause for a while. Although there were a few cannons in between. But listening to the sound, I knew that it was not a long-range heavy artillery, but some small-caliber grenades with a high degree of 'precision'
Cannon.
"Zhang Mingxue, Xu Yongwei!" Taking advantage of the pause in the sound of the cannons, I ordered the two men standing beside me, "Go out and see what's going on!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei ran out with guns without saying a word.
After a while, they ran back in a panic and shouted, "Commander Cui! Is it the enemy, the enemy is coming up? ”
"What? The enemy is coming up? Everyone was taken aback when they heard this!
"Yes" is the enemy! Xu Yongwei panted and reported: "They were divided into three teams and 'touched' us, one to the left and one to the right. There is still a team waiting in front of it! When they lie down, they run forward when they don't ***, and now they are at the foot of the mountain! ”
"Quick! Inform the fighters to enter the position immediately! Li Pinghe grabbed the gun and was about to run outside, but I stopped him.
"What's wrong? Captain Cui? Seeing that I stopped Li Pinghe, everyone couldn't help but look at me in surprise.
"Commander Cui, give the order quickly! There's no rush to get too late! "Jiang 'Chun' Zeng is also urging on the side.
"Staff Officer Li!" I didn't answer them, but asked Li Dark: "Have you measured the coordinates of our highland!" ”
"Of course!" Li nodded and said: "The 7 Heights are the main position of Maleang Mountain, where will there be no measured truth,"
"That's good!" When I heard this, I immediately ordered, "Go and inform the soldiers in the various tunnels." No one is allowed to step out of the pit without my orders! ”
"What?" Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and they didn't understand what kind of 'medicine' my gourd selling.
I ignored them. I only thought quickly in my head: daring to use this method to sneak attack the positions of our army will never be something that the Canadian brigade that has just been repulsed by us can do. Because every once in a while you have to lie on the ground to avoid your own artillery fire, which seems simple, but it is not easy to do. This requires a high degree of coordination between infantry and artillery. Therefore, this army that 'touches' up should be a well-trained British army.
The British army is not vegetarian, they have already 'touched' the foot of our mountain, and at this time we will get out of the tunnel, but we are afraid that they will be wiped out in batches and batches before they can quickly deploy their troops.
Then now there is only,,
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, fortunately we have artillery now, otherwise I really don't know what to do now.
