Chapter 275: A Doomed Guerrilla War
After Cao Shishu heard a suspicious sound, he immediately stopped. At the same time, make a gesture to the comrades in the right rear to stop and prepare for battle. Leaning against the back of a hundred-year-old red pine, he carefully searched the place where the sound came from inch by inch through the 4x magnification optical scope on the Type 51 sniper rifle, and he passed through the many criss-crossing tree trunks, in a gap between a tree that was only an inch wide and more than 2 feet long, he saw a gray and slightly pink skin, a gray-yellow eye and a narrow cotton military cap of the Soviet army, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the Soviet soldier fell under the tree beside him.
Almost at the moment when the bullet shot out of the muzzle, Cao Shishu jumped extremely quickly behind another big tree in front of the left. The reason why he wanted to move to the left was because he was afraid of affecting the shooting range of his comrades behind him and causing accidental injuries to his comrades behind. In forest warfare, any mistake can cause mortal danger, and this experience is the result of countless blood and lives.
Don't think that Cao Shishu underestimated him with one eye, just in the extremely short time he traveled from this tree to that tree, he saw the shadows of two Soviet soldiers hiding behind the big tree.
Cao Shishu's superb ability in mountain warfare and accurate marksmanship are due to his innate genius as a "warrior" on the one hand, and on the other hand, to his battlefield experience and the specialized research on jungle warfare and sniper techniques that he has served as a training staff officer of the Production and Construction Corps in recent years.
Cao Shishu moved back to the back of another big tree, behind which he could clearly see through the gap in the bushes that less than half of the left side of the back of another Soviet soldier more than 60 meters away was exposed in his direction. This stupid Soviet army is still dodging the direction in which the gunshots rang out just now.
Cao Shishu leaned his left shoulder on the trunk of his hidden tree to increase the stability of his shooting, quietly stretched out the Type 51 sniper rifle, quickly aimed at the back of the Soviet soldier's left side, and pulled the trigger very smoothly. As the gun rang out, the Soviet soldier fell to the ground like a stump.
He didn't appreciate his results at all, he jumped behind a pile of thick bushes, and then rolled to the bottom of a big tree, he sat on the ground, leaned his back against the big tree with his back to the Soviet army, took a deep breath, and then he put his right index finger in his mouth, covered his mouth with his left hand and sighed softly, using the heat in his mouth to warm his index finger, which was not very sensitive.
A sniper's index finger should be as sensitive as a surgeon's index finger. Especially since there was at least one Soviet sniper on the opposite side, he didn't dare to be ambiguous at all. Be sure to keep your "competitive" form at the best level. Otherwise, you can be injured and killed in an instant. On the battlefield, life and death happen in an instant, so cruel that it will not leave any chance for the other party, and the loser will never have a chance again......
"Da, da, da" Cao Shishu's comrade-in-arms in front of the left made a short shot. A Soviet soldier staggered forward three or four meters, crashed into a tree, and fell to the ground.
Olesha and four others, under the cover of the sniper Sergeant Sergeant Neberov, got rid of the Chinese pursuers. As soon as they ran to the road in the direction of Severobaikalsk, they were strafed by Chinese helicopters in the sky, and they immediately retreated into the forest. Just when they thought they were out of danger, Lieutenant Loval Yusvisky, the former Soviet 19th Motorized Infantry Division, who was walking in front, was shot in the head by a Chinese sniper, and Olyosha saw Lieutenant Loval Yusvisky, who was only 3 or 4 meters away from him, white brain tissue and blood gushing out of his head. Olesha immediately lay on the ground, and then he saw a corporal hiding behind a thick larch being shot, and the bullet passed through the corporal's back through his left atrium and then through the anterior sternum, causing penetrating wounds and death.
It's horrible! Two people died, and they didn't even see where the enemy was, and they didn't even know the distance and direction of the enemy's fire.
Just when Oreyosha was in shock, the last comrade-in-arms who followed him, Yusev, the commander of tank No. 189 of the former 2nd Tank Company, was also hit in the waist and stumbled to his side, with a pale face and tears, and said to himself pitifully: "Battalion commander, help me, I don't want to die, you must take me home"
Olyosha seemed to have forgotten the danger in front of him, he took out the only first aid kit on his body, knelt beside his comrade-in-arms and fellow countryman, and followed the soldier behind Cao Shishu's right with a short shot, and a blood line gushed out from Oleyosha's left chest.
Oresha didn't feel pain, only felt someone push him hard in the back, and it was all over. Olesha's soul drifted back to far, far away Europe
Cao Shishu heard the footsteps of "crunch, crunch" when he stepped on the snow while running forward after the soldier in his right rear finished shooting, "Danger! Concealment," Cao Shishu shouted.
It was late, "Bang" Cao Shishu heard a low sound of gunfire characteristic of the "Mosin-Nagant" 1891/30 sniper rifle from the direction of 2 o'clock on the side of the road, and the soldier who followed his right rear "Ah! He screamed and was thrown to the ground, the bullet piercing the steel helmet on the warrior's hood.
Although the sacrifice of his comrade-in-arms made Cao Shishu feel grief-stricken, he did not move, he knew that coming to the side of that comrade-in-arms at this time could only add one result to the other party. Nothing will be solved. He just moved his body behind the tree, and then quickly extended his Type 51 sniper rifle in the direction of 2 o'clock, searching for the Soviet sniper who killed his comrade through the sight lens. At this time, except for the only eye that moved, he stopped all movements, and there was silence all around, as if the air was frozen, and he listened intently
Both sides are covering themselves with silence, responding to changes with immutability, waiting for the other's mistakes to deal a fatal blow to the other.
Sergeant Neberov was an imaginative professional sniper in the Ulan-Ude Border Service of the KGB of the USSR. He graduated from the Irkutsk sniper school of the Main Directorate of Border Guards of the KGB. In today's battle, he has killed and wounded 6 Chinese soldiers, successfully blocked the pursuit of the Chinese, and covered the retreat of the guerrilla leader Olesha and others. Then he quietly followed Olyosha about 100 meters behind them. Suddenly he heard the gunfire of a Chinese sniper rifle, and his heart was shaken, this was the second time he heard the sound of such a Chinese sniper rifle. This reminded him of the absolutely professional Chinese snipers who were agile and skilled in the street battles in Ulan-Ude, and he felt a little chilled. Of the 22 professional snipers of the Ulan-Ude Border Guard, he was the only one who escaped, and the rest were either killed, wounded, or captured and surrendered. He didn't know if he would have such good luck today and be able to escape the net laid by the Chinese again.
Neither side moved, and Sergeant Neberov finally couldn't wait. The battle in the deep forest had scratched countless holes in his winter clothes, and the cold air passed through these holes, ruthlessly snatching away the limited heat of his body, coupled with lying motionless in this ice and snow for a long time, making his body tremble unconsciously. The gunfire behind slowly fell silent, but the sparse gunfire was gradually approaching his side. He decided that he couldn't fight against this Chinese sniper anymore, and broke out of the breakout while he still had some stamina, and then said again. He was determined to design an escape route for himself, and then took a grenade from his belt and threw it in the opposite direction where he was going to escape, believing that the moment the grenade exploded would definitely attract the attention of the Chinese sniper, and he would take the opportunity to divert it, he was very confident that if he was given a few seconds, he would be out of danger.
At the sound of the grenade exploding, Sergeant Neberov quickly jumped up and moved quickly behind a 5-meter-long tree to the south.
In the optical aiming shot of Cao Shishu's Type 51 sniper rifle with 4x magnification, a black moving object caught his attention, and the sound of "silk, silk, silk" and the green smoke that he judged was the grenade thrown by the Soviet sniper. Three seconds before the grenade exploded, he pinpointed exactly where the Soviet sniper, who thought he was smart, was hiding.
He aimed the scope between the gaps where Neberov was hiding. 1, 2, 3, he silently counted the seconds in his heart. It's moving! The narrow gap was filled with army green, and Cao Shishu moved bizarrely, seizing the opportunity of a few tenths of a second and pulling the trigger. The gun went off and the man fell. He then quickly moved in the direction of the Soviet sniper he had knocked out. Behind a large tree 30 meters away, he aimed his gun at this opponent of his. He could clearly see that Sergeant Neberov's right leg had been broken and broken at a very strange angle. The Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 sniper rifle was thrown into a pile of bushes 3 meters in front of Sergeant Neberov. Sergeant Neberov gritted his teeth and pulled out another grenade hanging from his belt with difficulty. This is a "glorious bullet" that has the same effect as our later generations.
Cao Shishu aimed at Sergeant Neberov's right arm holding a grenade, but in the end he put down the gun in his hand and saved a bullet. Fulfill the wish of this Soviet KGB sniper who would rather die than be taken prisoner, let him fight for his ideals for the rest of his life.
The "boom" grenade exploded, and an unyielding life ended. Except for Cao Shishu and another soldier who saw this heroic scene, no one knows how this Hero of the Soviet Union died, and may even be listed as a missing person on the battlefield.
After five hours of fighting, the 3rd Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Reserve of the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps paid the price of 121 casualties, killed 106 Soviet partisans, wounded 135, and captured 98. This illegal terrorist force, headed by Andrei Shapilovsky and Olesha, called the anti-Chinese guerrillas of Severobaikalsk, was completely annihilated. Since they have no legal status, these prisoners will not be treated as prisoners of war, and instead of prisoner of war camps, they will be prosecuted for serious disturbance of public order in Baikal Province, illegal possession of firearms, homicide, illegal association, etc., and will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years according to the facts of their crimes and the degree of harm they have done to society, and those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be sentenced to death.
In China's more than 4 million square kilometers of "new development zones," there are nearly 100 and so illegal armed groups of all kinds of so-called anti-China guerrillas. The small scale of thirty or fifty people, the largest is more than 1,000 people, the shortest only lasts 10 days and half a month, and the longest one lasts one and a half years.
Many people wonder if these well-trained and well-equipped Soviet servicemen were not even as good as the "bandits" of the country when it was just liberated?
The answer is: no, definitely not.
Many people see guerrilla warfare as too simple. I thought that there were a few armed men who attacked this township office today and ambushed the convoy tomorrow. That is because they do not know much about guerrilla warfare, and do they not know that guerrilla warfare is the most effective tactic in which the weak defeat the strong. There is a whole system of tactics and strategies.
Guerrilla, guerrilla, swim, strike. To swim is to walk, to strike is to strike, to swim without striking is to escape, and to strike without swimming is to desperately. The Chinese people, represented by China's supreme chief, were in a weak state for almost the entire process of the protracted revolutionary war. They developed a whole set of theories of guerrilla warfare with their surnames:
The basic principle of guerrilla warfare is that the enemy advances and we retreat, that the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, that the enemy is tired and that we fight, and that the enemy retreats and pursues us. Attack-based offense is the basic form of guerrilla warfare; The establishment of revolutionary base areas is the basis for the survival and development of guerrilla warfare, and it can extensively mobilize the broad masses of the people to participate in it, which is the basis of guerrilla warfare. Under certain conditions, guerrilla warfare can be used as the main form of combat at a certain strategic stage; The combination of centralized command in strategy and decentralized command in campaigns and battles is the command principle of guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare is difficult to solve the entire war problem because of its small number of troops and weak assault force, and only by actively creating conditions and closely coordinating regular warfare with guerrilla warfare can we speed up the victory of the war. Finally, guerrilla warfare was expanded to large-scale movement warfare with the annihilation of the enemy's living forces.
These remnants of the Soviet Union were defeated and stragglers were doomed to fail if they tried to carry out guerrilla warfare in China's "new areas." First of all, the Soviet Union did not possess the basic tactical theory for conducting guerrilla warfare, so that in later generations, in Afghanistan, it was beaten all over the ground by Afghan guerrillas, and they did not know what to do.
Guerrilla warfare is irregular warfare. In fact, there is no such thing as regularity or irregularity in the operation itself. Just as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent.
Guerrilla warfare is a struggle with the so-called formal tactical thinking that the Soviet Union has always advocated, with large corps, wide frontage, large depth, high speed, and wave after wave of uninterrupted attacks. The Soviets were dismissive of China's [***] military thinking.
Khrushchev was furious at the Soviet army's attempt to publish MZD's military works throughout the army. To the head of the army, he said angrily: "You have to publish the military writings of the MZD within the Soviet army. This is ridiculous! The Soviets crushed the elite units of the German army, and the MZD spent twenty-twenty-five years just playing with pikes and bayonets. But now you are publishing military writings on MZD! What is it for? Do we want to learn from the Chinese how to fight wars in the future? What did you think when you made this decision? Did your head tell the donkey to kick or the door to squeeze? Stop this costly, time-wasting folly right now. In the end, the Soviet military had no choice but to burn these military works, which had already been printed and were ready to be distributed by the whole army.
Second, in China's "new development zones," they do not have the "revolutionary base areas" on which guerrilla warfare can survive and develop, and the basis for the broadest participation of the masses. With the tank tracks rolling forward of the Chinese offensive troops, the entry of a large number of production and construction corps -- this Chinese armed force with Chinese characteristics, the armed backbone militia of various provinces, cities, ministries and commissions in China, and a large number of Chinese armed immigrants -- the number of Chinese people in the "new area" has exceeded the number of the population of the Russian nation, greatly deterring and controlling the "broadest masses of the people" of the Russian nation. The Far East was almost inhuman during the Tsarist period and was a place of exile for revolutionaries and criminals. After the formation of the Soviet Union, those revolutionaries and criminals had long since returned to Europe after the victory of the revolution.
During the Lenin and Stalin eras, in order to strengthen their control over the Far East, they carried out large-scale migration to the Far East on an unprecedented scale, immigrating many Soviet minorities in Europe to the Far East as a whole, and vacating Soviet Europe for Russia. It is difficult for these Soviet minorities, who have been driven out of their homes, to have a good feeling for the Soviet Union ruled by Lenin and Stalin. In 1944, the Soviet government under the leadership of Stalin forcibly moved the 387,000 Chechens, almost the entire entire Chechen nation, from their homes and expelled them to Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Siberia, and revoked the status of Chechnya as an autonomous republic. Now with the arrival of China, it is normal for these ethnic minorities who have been humiliated by the Soviet Union and Russia to turn to China one after another. Therefore, if the Soviet Union wanted to carry out "guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines" in the areas controlled by China, it would have lost the basis of the broadest participation of the masses of the people, so how could it be possible to carry out guerrilla warfare with the character of a people's war? This is the fundamental reason why these Soviet partisans were doomed.
