Chapter 6: Fierce Battle
At the height of its use on the Eastern Front in World War II, the "Monotov cocktail" was the cheapest and most effective anti-tank weapon, outperforming cluster grenades against tanks.
On top of that, because of the ease with which the Molotov cocktail was made, it became almost the "standard equipment" of Soviet anti-tank troops, partisans and street rioters during World War II. It's really a home trip...... Well, ah!
Of course, the Molotov cocktail is dangerous in its use, close to the tank, and adventurous. However, compared with human bombs, it is still advanced and effective. After all, things are light and can be thrown, and you don't have to be close to the tank, and your chances of survival are much greater.
Especially in street fighting, there are many shelters such as ruins, broken walls, broken houses, and windows, and tanks do not have the same wide field of vision and agility as in the field, and the chance of throwing bottle bombs is certainly much greater than that of people carrying bombs on their backs to get close to tanks.
And in many cases, it is not the limitation of science and technology, but the restriction of thinking, so that some new thing or something cannot be invented or discovered.
Captain Tian was skeptical about the role of Molotov cocktails, but he still sent a squad to collect kerosene, gasoline and empty wine bottles nearby, which was not very troublesome anyway, so let's try it! After all, fighting tanks according to the current method is too sacrificed, and sometimes it takes several people, or even a dozen people, to follow one after another.
However, for the other two methods suggested by Shen Chen, Regiment Commander Tian was quite interested, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare. One option is to embed cluster grenades, which are controlled by a long rope string and used as anti-tank mines; Another method was to create smoke to disrupt the Japanese line of sight, and try to separate the Japanese infantry from the tanks, so as to facilitate the attack of anti-tank men.
There were no flat-firing guns, no grenades, no anti-tank mines, no smoke bombs...... With such equipment, the national * army could not be said to be heroic in the battle of Songhu, and the officers and men could not be said to be desperate. But flesh and blood and heroism in the battle with technology and steel, heroic and quite desperate war scenes emerge one after another, but the final outcome seems to be doomed.
The three-dimensional offensive of the sea, land, and air force, and the coordinated coordination of infantry, tank, and artillery are all fresh and shocking to the officers and men of the country, and even to the majority of high-ranking generals. They learned and learned lessons from the war, and this tuition fee was the life of thousands of officers and soldiers. If "one will make ten thousand bones dry" is the truth, then the tuition is too expensive.
The dense gunfire was mixed with violent explosions, the rolling tongues of fire were intertwined with the rising columns of smoke, the eyes were full of fire, smoke, dust, gunshots, cannons, and killings, and the smoke and dust were tangled into a large net, covering the sky over the battlefield, a gloomy chaos.
Having just experienced the bombardment of aircraft and artillery, the Japanese devils began to attack again. This attack was even more ferocious than the previous ones, and six tanks alone were dispatched, arranged in two zigzags, covering the infantry behind, and pressing towards the position of the national * army with great momentum.
Armor steel plates! Machine gun cannon! The rolling crawler that makes the ground tremble! The monster roared, leading a group of demons behind it, even more hideous in the smoke.
"Smack!" Shen Chen started shooting, it was still far away, but she was the only little monster that could jump and howl after hitting the tank.
Her position was at the back of the main position, with the help of the strong Zhao Youcai, and during this gap time, Shen Chen had already arranged several sniper positions, and was able to transfer between positions.
The 38 cover is characterized by a long barrel, full of gunpowder, and almost no smoke is visible during the day, and there is almost no fire in the dark. If you want to talk about the disadvantages, that is, the bullet has a small caliber, a straight trajectory, strong penetration, and weak lethality. But there is one thing, a bullet is a bullet, and hitting the vital point is also fatal. As for the arms and legs, that's a different story.
And Shen Chen's marksmanship is to only hit the chest and head, 400 meters chest target, 300 meters head target, and the upgraded spear skills make her not only second to none in the Chinese * army, even if compared with the excellent ones among the devil's top soldiers, it should not be inferior.
Shen Chen also has the advantage of being proficient in the essence of a sniper, while other sharpshooters can only be called sharpshooters or special marksmen.
Because accurate marksmanship is only the basic condition that a sniper must have, without comprehensive skills such as camouflage and reconnaissance, without sufficient knowledge and experience, and even lacking extraordinary psychological quality, he can only be called a sharpshooter.
From this point of view, the devil's excellent superior soldier is not considered a sniper, and if she fights against Shen Chen, the advantage is likely to belong to her.
The guns rang out, and the national* troops on the position opened fire, with more and stronger fire on both sides, in order to avoid the tanks, try to kill the infantry behind the tank, or cut off the connection between the tank and the infantry.
The effect is not obvious, because of the suppression of tank fire, because of the cover of tanks, the devils fell some, but the casualties of the national * army were greater.
In the chaotic gunfire, the sound of Shen Chen's shooting was completely muffled. This allows her to shoot a few more shots in a position and then shift, killing a few more devils.
The primary target is the officer, the one with the command knife, the one with the pistol, and in the cold gun, the devil officer is constantly being sniped.
Hey? Shen Chen suddenly noticed that the roof in the distance reflected a bright light, only for a short moment, but she raised her vigilance. Unfortunately, there were no binoculars for a closer look, but she stepped up her caution anyway.
All kinds of light and heavy weapons fired more fiercely, and the guns of houses, buildings, basements, and sandbag fortifications spewed fire everywhere. The devils fell more, but the tanks were still slowly advancing, and the short and thick guns spewed out heavy smoke and fire, accompanied by tongues of fire from machine guns, and rushed to the positions of the national * army.
"Boom", the shells from the tank, with a heart-pounding scream of friction against the air, hit a dilapidated two-story house, and the violent air wave tore over the roof, and the smoke and dust covered the house. The smoke cleared, and the houses were gone, replaced by sinky ruins and graveyard-like rubble. And under the rubble, there is a squad of soldiers of the national * army.
Shen Chen didn't have time to mourn or grieve in silence, but just pulled the bolt more and more neatly, unloaded the shell, and aimed and shot. She had already changed her magazine twice, killing and wounding at least ten devils, but she felt that her personal strength was small and insufficient on the battlefield.
