Chapter 121: Fierce Battle (2)
The situation on the entire battlefield is changing, and the devil's combat intentions have failed, and it has completely turned into a head-on battle between the two sides.
Because, the 1st Company, Chiang Lian and the guerrillas joined forces to wipe out the remnants of the enemy cleanly and thoroughly, and immediately reinforced them to resist the enemy's attack with all their might.
In order to alleviate the frontal pressure, after stabilizing the blocking position, Battalion Commander Wang also sent small detachments of roundabout troops to the left and right flanks to prepare to carry out a diversion strike on the enemy, so as to alleviate the firepower and strength of the enemy's frontal attack.
A platoon of roundabout troops rushed to support following the sound of gunfire, and after joining the battle group, the enemy, who was flanked from three sides, could not bear it anymore, and began to retreat back in alternate cover.
If it is normal, the devil has two crooked machine guns, and his personal shooting skills are also high, and when he is covering the retreat alternately, if he can't press it, under the constant casualties, the pursuit will be a loss-making deal.
But the devil's main attention was on Liu Biao and the newly arrived platoon of the eight roads, and when they used ditches and snow bags as cover, they also tried not to expose their bodies in this direction.
The devil's judgment is that the regular army is more threatening, and the people who wear variegated clothes on the side and white sheets are armed with miscellaneous weapons, the distance is far away, and the marksmanship is not good.
As for the gunmen who caused constant casualties to the devils, the devils have never been able to find the exact location, so it is not very easy to guard. The devil thinks that it is almost enough to open up the distance and make the opponent have no shooting angle.
But Shen Chen was on the flank, and he also began to move to catch up, and his shooting angle changed, which was just enough to bring continuous damage to the retreating devils.
Shen Chen did not rush to shoot and snipe, but accelerated the speed of his rush, and did not stop until he was about to overtake all the retreating devils.
After moving sideways for a few dozen meters, Shen Chen threw himself into a low bush covered with snow, adjusted his breathing, and stretched out the muzzle of his gun.
The devil is still fighting and retreating, and the flanks have not fired deadly bullets for a long time. They think that they have opened up the distance from their opponents, or that their opponents have no shooting angles, and they are emboldened.
In fact, the distance is still three or four hundred meters, and it is even closer than just now. At this distance, Shen Chen was very sure, but the threat of the devil was not so great.
This is also Shen Chen's caution in seemingly risky actions, trying to maintain an advantage in distance, not only to snipe accurately, but also not to expose himself to greater danger.
Moreover, if there is a choice, Shen Chen's sniper target is also to try not to cause the devils to be alarmed, so that he can kill a few more devils before he finds out.
Of course, there are not many choices now, and Shen Chen is mainly fast. If you kill a devil early, you will weaken the devil's firepower and let yourself suffer fewer casualties.
The sound of gunfire is like bursting beans, and the unique sound of the 38 big cover and the unique sound of the bang and the hook are non-stop on this battlefield.
It was in this kind of chaotic battle scene that Shen Chen's sniping was indeed difficult to detect. The devil was shot and fell to the ground, who will carefully judge where the bullet flew from?
There were gunshots all around, and bullets were being fired, and the devils could only try to hide as much as possible and fight back fiercely.
As long as you show your head and shoot, for Shen Chen, it is an opportunity to snipe the enemy; If it is a face-to-face shooting, he will still have some scruples, this kind of killing in the open and in the dark, but it is his strong point.
sniped three devils in a row, which not only weakened the devil's firepower, but also hindered the devil's retreat while fighting.
A small open field appeared on the devil's retreat, although it was not very flat, and there were some obstacles to take advantage of, but the devil also realized that if he wanted to pass through here, he would have to pay the price of blood.
Cao Xiaobao also led people to approach, although he did not meet Shen Chen, he also formed a line of defense and held the flank of the devil.
A crooked sub-machine gun was turned over, and together with a few devils, to protect the flank; The other crooked handle continued to shoot in the front, blocking the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.
Shen Chen lay on his stomach in the snow, observing the situation on the battlefield through a depression in the snow, and slowly stretched out the muzzle of his gun again.
A devil was well hidden, lying down and shooting in the hollows of the two small snow bags, but he could only see half of the steel helmet and the muzzle of the gun, and his body could not be seen.
It's just that there is a half-section of the steel helmet to indicate the target, which is enough for Shen Chen.
Shen Chen aimed carefully, lightly buckled the machine, and the bullet flew out quickly, slamming into the steel helmet.
With a slight deviation, the bullet slipped away on the steel helmet. But this shot also scared the devil enough, shrank down like an insect, and didn't dare to show his head again for a long time.
Shen Chen rolled his eyes, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the machine gun that was screaming and screaming.
The defect of the crooked handle bracket is too fatal when facing Shen Chen.
A gunshot rang out, and a cloud of blood erupted from the junction of the devil shooter's shoulder and neck, and immediately after, blood splattered violently.
The machine gun was dumb, the secondary shooter was sprayed with blood on his face, hurriedly wiped it, pushed away the body of the main shooter lying on the machine gun, and he took the machine gun.
Before he could pull the trigger, another bullet came over, piercing his steel helmet and hitting him in the forehead, and red blood and white brains burst out.
Shen Chen loaded the bullet, did not move the muzzle, and continued to aim at the position of the machine gun. The devil will definitely not give up this heavy weapon to suppress the opponent, but as long as he dares to come up and take the gun, Shen Chen is sure to kill the devil.
Sure enough, the machine gun was dumb, and there were still devils who grabbed it to manipulate it. Shen Chen had already taken aim, so he hit this point, ruthlessly, quickly and accurately, as soon as the devil touched the machine gun and was ready to shoot, his bullets shot away.
In an instant, Shen Chen had that familiar and pleasant feeling again, and he was upgraded!
Shen Chen didn't count how many enemies he had killed, so when he knew that his shooting skills had reached a new height, a burst of surprise passed through his heart.
Although the distance is no longer an issue, the upgrade still makes him feel the benefits of progress. His eyesight, his calculations, his stability, his adjustments......
Moreover, soon, Shen Chen proved the power of upgrading with practical actions.
It was two devils who were moving under the cover of small trees, snow bags, and dead grass, and they covered each other, alternately retreating backwards.
The devil's individual skills are indeed excellent, Shen Chen shifted the muzzle of the gun and secretly admired it.
Hitting a moving target is to calculate the amount of advance, and the amount of advance is not only to estimate the speed of the enemy's movement, but also to judge in advance the hidden places that the enemy is likely to use and what kind of tactical actions will be taken according to the terrain and topography.
Shen Chen did not rush to chase the moving figure of the devil, but used his mind to capture the movements that the devil might make.
That tree, the devil is likely to hide behind it, Shen Chen aimed the muzzle of the gun at the gap between the devil and the little tree, and waited patiently.
The devil in front of him crawled forward for a while, bent down and ran for a while, and then made a beautiful leap and flashed behind the small tree.
Shen Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, gently pulled the trigger, and the devil was like he had hit a flying bullet, and his leaping action came to an abrupt halt, and he fell face down on the snow with the inertia of advancing, seriously injured but not dead, twisting and rolling and screaming.
Shen Chen pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and he felt more aware of the moving target.
It's not a good idea to chase after your target, you have to estimate the speed of your prey, and how it will react to what terrain it will be, whether it will climb high or low.
In fact, this is also a kind of strategy, the military strategist can roughly judge where the enemy is camping and where to set up positions, and the sniper's marksmanship is important, and more important is the analysis and prediction of the mind.
And when shooting at a moving target, don't expect a headshot, aiming at the waist position is the easiest way to hit the target. Because as long as you don't deviate too much from the top and bottom, the probability of hitting the enemy is very high.
There is also a devil who can move, who has lost the conditions for alternate cover, and also sees that the hidden enemy has good marksmanship, so he does not dare to act rashly, and hides behind a snow bag for half a day without showing his head.
Shen Chen waited for a while, shook his head slightly, and the muzzle of the gun slowly moved, and it took a while to shoot calmly.
The crooked handle machine gun had just gone off a few times, and it was mute again.
The devil's marksmanship is good and his fighting quality is high, but he was defeated by Shen Chen's accurate sniping.
In fact, both sides paid for the casualties in the battle, and the casualties on the side of the Eighth Route Army were much greater.
But there are few devils, but they can't withstand such consumption. Now, there are only six or seven devils left who can still fight, even if they are covered in iron, they can't escape the fate of being wiped out.
"Your Excellency, please retreat first, this place is blocked by the lowly position." The devil Cao Chang rolled and crawled, and his tactical movements were quite neat, and he approached the officer and said hurriedly.
The devil officer had given up hope of escaping, or rather did not want to flee like a dog, and died in that small open field.
"Your Excellency-" The devil Cao Chang was anxious, and reached out to pull the officer, which was a very rude action, and it was also a fatal action, and his body was unconsciously raised.
"Smack!" Almost as soon as he heard the gunshot, blood splattered on the face of the devil Cao Chang, and a bullet hit him in the mouth and passed through the back of his neck.
Shen Chen rolled into a puddle of snow, and slowly stretched out the gun.
Snow and wilderness, there is no favorable terrain on either side, and snow packs, potholes, and ditches become the best shelters.
And now, Shen Chen is not only superior to the devil in marksmanship, but also not inferior in camouflage and tactical movements, and even more powerful than the devil. And the devil's earthy yellow clothes are even more conspicuous in the snow.
There were no shouts of killing, only tense and patient confrontation. But there are too few devils, and this is already destined to be their death.
Under the cover of a crooked machine gun, the Eighth Route Army approached in a straggler line, causing even more pressure and crisis on the devils.
Cao Xiaobao and his team members were also pressing forward, the speed was very slow, but the intention of holding the enemy's retreat was obvious.
The devil officer's heart also fell into the ice cellar, and he looked around to the left and right, and there were only six people left, including him.
Lying on his stomach like a dog like this, and finally being killed in the wilderness and snow? No, never! Since you are already doomed to death, why not die a heroic death and die worthy of the imperial warriors.
…………
The cold wind was blowing unhurriedly, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was already vague, the bright red blood stains were particularly conspicuous in the snow, and some pools of blood were still steaming.
The devils got up and fought hard, and caused casualties to the Eighth Route Army, and finally the whole army was wiped out.
For Shen Chen, this was not unexpected. Isn't the Long Live charge in the rain of bullets also such a mentality, such an action.
It seems extremely stupid, but criticism and contempt are based on the inherent concepts of Chinese. I can live a little longer, even for a few seconds.
It's disgusting tenacity, and maybe there's something to learn from. Shen Chen's face was complicated, and he followed behind the troops with his team members, making a detour to the devil's brigade.
Although the divided and severed friendly forces seem to have been completely wiped out, the enemy's brigade is still organizing an attack, and it is not willing to be defeated, but still wants to achieve some results before it can be explained to the above.
The small force that detoured from the other side was blocked by a squad sent by the enemy, and the two sides opened up in the snowy field, firing at each other and fighting.
The troops led by Liu Biao arrived a little late, but they were also intercepted and blocked by almost a squad of devils. It's just that a dozen devils didn't resist for long.
Two crooked handles, more than 20 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, plus the help of Shen Chen and others, after leaving six or seven corpses, the remaining devils were forced to cover each other and retreat, and asked the brigade for reinforcements.
But in the process of retreating, these devils were constantly sniped by accurate bullets fired from behind, even when they were moving.
Shen Chen has fully adapted and mastered the newly upgraded shooting skills and brought them to the extreme. The devil only exposed his body for a short time, and he was still zigzag to avoid it, but it was difficult to escape.
When the enemy's brigade received the news that it was about to move its forces to intercept it, this roundabout force had already rushed to a distance of only more than 400 meters from the enemy and exchanged heavy fire with the enemy.
Shen Chen didn't understand the enemy's stubbornness too well, and his intention to rescue his companions had almost completely failed, so why did he stay here to fight nostalgic? Is it true that you will defeat your own troops to make up for the losses you have already caused?
But at this time, he couldn't think about it too much, and he found the most valuable target at this time, a Type 92 heavy machine gun of the devil.
Due to the relatively high gun carriage of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the large exposed area of the shooter, it was logical that it became an easy target for him.
"Smack!" On the battlefield where the gunfire was dense and the explosions were deafening, Shen Chen's shooting was well covered.
However, the devil shooter who was holding the "crutching handle" of the Type 92 heavy machine gun with the "eight" layout could not ignore the flying bullets, and his body shook suddenly, and he lay on his head on the machine gun.
The second-in-command pulled away from his companion's corpse and activated his machine gun, firing for only a few seconds before another insidious bullet flew over and shot a splash of blood out of his head.
After a while, five devils had fallen next to the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the effectiveness of this heavy machine gun, which was originally responsible for suppressing firepower, was greatly reduced.
