Chapter 72: Special Operations
After about five minutes, a dense explosion of 105-mm howitzer shells sounded one after another, and after another ten minutes or so, the scouts who were arranged to observe at various commanding heights sent back a telegram, "The Japanese cavalry wing and mountain artillery wing have basically collapsed, and it is no longer possible to organize a threatening large-scale attack, and the infantry of the infantry brigade has only killed and wounded less than a third, and the number is about 300 people." The remaining infantry began to gather in the direction of our heavy artillery squadron, intending to strike at the positions of our heavy artillery squadron. ”
Tian Zheng looked at the telegram in his hand and ordered the radio soldiers to call back, "Order the mobile anti-aircraft machine guns set up on the troop transport trucks by the air defense squadrons along the way to be changed to flat fire, and the soldiers in the ambush positions along the way should prepare bullets to maximize the damage to their infantry when the Japanese troops pass by!" In addition, the telegram ordered the second and third groups of the wolf's tooth to continue to stay in the ambush position, monitor the movement of the enemy's tank brigade, and continue to strike if necessary! A group quickly arrives at 101 Hills on the map and stands by! ”
After the units called back to confirm the receipt of the order, Tian Zheng went to the supply point to replenish the ammunition.
As a result, at the supply point, I saw the Type 79 sniper rifle and bullets that Liu Tianxing of the Liaocheng Arsenal had just shipped and tested.
"Send a report to all units, and order the soldiers with the best marksmanship in each unit to assemble at the No. 1 supply point! All the officers stayed at their posts and continued to command the battle, and I only needed soldiers! Tian Zheng issued another order.
Twenty minutes later, the best marksmanship soldiers from the various squadrons had all arrived at Supply Point 1. Tian Zheng looked at the team of more than 100 people in front of him, and he was also very proud. In the team of 800 people, there are about 100 people with the best marksmanship! It shows that the level of training of his troops is really good!
"The people from the reconnaissance squadron stayed, and the soldiers selected from the rest of the units went to Captain Liu Dajiang of the logistics squadron to receive a new long-range sniper rifle Type 79! Twenty bullets! An optical sight! Every two people are a sniper team, and according to the movements of the Japanese army, sniper positions are set up along the way to snipe and kill high-ranking Japanese officers who pass by! But you have to remember! Once the shot has been fired, only the co-shooter is allowed to make up one shot at most, and then immediately withdraw from the position! You must remember that our lives are a thousand times more precious than those of the enemy! Even if the identity of the enemy is a general, it is not worth trading our lives! Remember? Okay, after receiving the supplies, Captain Liu will give you a brief introduction to the functions and performance of each component, and you will have three minutes to familiarize yourself with the firearms and conduct a shooting test! Then replenish yourselves and get moving! Tian Zheng left the people of the reconnaissance squadron behind.
"Regiment commander, they have all gone to snipe and kill senior Japanese officers, what are we doing? Our marksmanship is better than theirs! The eleven soldiers drawn from the reconnaissance squadron looked with envy at the soldiers of the rest of the units that had been arranged.
"You guys? What's the hurry! Six of you have regular combat attire, five others change into sniper attire, and then do them for three minutes to familiarize yourself with firearms! Report to me here! Tian Zheng said as he took over a Type 79 sniper rifle from Liu Daxing, who was organizing his subordinates to be responsible for distributing guns and ammunition. The appearance of this rifle was made exactly according to the drawings drawn by itself. The gun is 1220mm long, fires 7.62x54mm bullets, has a magazine of 10 rounds, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet can reach 830m/s, which can carry out precision strikes within 1000 meters! Type 79 sniper rifle adopts air conduction type re-entry, locking mode is bolt rotary rigid locking, firing mechanism is hammer rotary type, can only shoot single shot, has good shooting accuracy, effective range is long, light weight, reliable mechanism action and other characteristics, in addition to equipped with a curved ruler and cylindrical crosshair mechanical aiming system, but also equipped with optical sight, so as to reduce the error when shooting, improve the first hit rate. Semi-automatic fire increases the combat rate of fire, making it easier to seize opportunities and hit targets. Equipped with a detachable multi-functional bayonet, it can not only be used for white-knuckle combat, but also can be used as scissors and saws, can cut barbed wire and saw steel bars, etc., and is an auxiliary tool for soldiers to survive in the wild.
Generally speaking, the Type 79 sniper rifle, except that it does not use a special sniper rifle cartridge and cannot achieve the long range of the imitation prototype, the Soviet Union's Dragunov (SVD) semi-automatic sniper rifle, the rest basically cannot find much disadvantage. This weapon was only finalized and mass-produced in 1979 in history, and at this time, due to the memory carried by Tian Zheng's crossing, it appeared on the battlefield of World War II in advance!
"It's time for free testing! The personnel of each unit are in place! Tian Zheng shouted loudly. The eleven soldiers from the reconnaissance squadron followed Tian Zheng.
"Commander, where do you want to take us? You see you've assigned tasks to everyone else, but we can't do nothing, can we? Our marksmanship is really better than theirs! Again, the anxious soldier whispered.
Tian Zheng smiled slightly, but in the eyes of others, he saw the madness and conspiracy behind this smile!
"Let's go! We're going to surprise the Japs! Target, Area 13! Each team rushes forward quickly! I'll be waiting for you there in half an hour! Remember, you may encounter a devil's observation post or a small group of scouts on the road, so be sure not to be disturbed, not to shoot, and not to be detected! Okay, let's get started! ”
The No. 13 area marked on the map is a dense woodland, and if it extends to depth, at the junction of the No. 14 and No. 15 areas, there is a small valley, and there is a passage in and out of Liaocheng in the valley. Judging from the direction of the Japanese attack, there is no doubt that this is the road to take.
Tian Zheng stood at the scheduled meeting place in Area 13, looking at the map in his hand and carefully thinking about the battle plan of the meeting. The radio soldiers and guards behind him gasped for breath before rushing behind Tian Zheng.
The guard Xiao Li said depressedly, "Regiment Commander, can't you slow down?" You see you've arrived so early, and the others haven't arrived? It's a waste to come so early. ”
Tian Zheng glared at Xiao Li, "This is that you don't have a sense of urgency about war." You have to know that running fast is the key to victory on the battlefield and escape for your life! But it was too easy for you to train before, so you dare to say that, and when the war is over, you will train with the wolf fangs! ”
Xiao Li's face was suddenly full of bitterness. Tian Zheng sighed in his heart, although we are the most elite troops, but we are living a life of licking blood on the tip of the knife, really wait until the end of the war, I don't know how many old people in our regiment can be left?
"Report to the regimental commander, a total of five and a half sniper teams of the reconnaissance squadron have arrived! Please give instructions to the head of the regiment! A soldier waited until all the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron had arrived.
"Look," Tian Zheng spread out the map to everyone and said, "In the direction of the Japanese army's attack on Shenyang City, in this direction, only such a road can lead to Shenyang, and all along the way are hillsides, only at the junction of No. 14 and No. 15, there is a small valley with flat terrain!" According to the conventional operational thinking, the front-line combat command of the Japanese army is very likely to be in this valley. This time, I specially selected everyone, that is, we are going to make a big vote together! Finish off this frontline command! ”
