Chapter 201: Sniping

On the east bank of the Haraha River, at 5 a.m., the headquarters of the 602nd Company of the 9th Infantry Regiment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoLin Junzheng observed the Japanese troops on the "sandy heights" on the opposite side through the artillery mirror, and after the vision was magnified 20 times, every move of the Japanese troops on the forward position one kilometer away was clearly visible.

Half an hour earlier, after crossing the Haraha River, Tukhachevsky had to agree to take him to the company headquarters closest to the Japanese position, and the "sandy heights" opposite were also the very edge of the Japanese army's half-bowl defensive circle.

The headquarters of the 9th Company was built behind a high thatched bush on a sloping land, only a few meters lower than the top of the "sandy heights" 1.5 kilometers away, and it was possible to clearly observe the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. This is also due to the fact that the temporary name "Sandy Heights" is somewhat misgiving, just a sand dune a little higher than the surrounding area.

The other party can be seen clearly here, and from the topography, the Japanese army can see Lin Jun's side clearly. Fortunately, because it is still damp close to the river bank, the ground is covered with tall grass, and the headquarters, trenches, and communication trenches are all dug with these thatched grasses, which are quite hidden, otherwise Tukhachevsky would not have agreed to Lin Jun coming here.

In the past few days, both sides have been desperately digging trenches, and they are very ready to fight another trench station, but compared to the "thatched cover" of the Soviet army, the Japanese army is relatively miserable, and it is difficult to find a shelter on the bare ground, not to mention the constant harassing shelling.

"Our forward positions are already less than 700 meters away from their front lines, and little Japan still dares to hang out in the trenches openly, and it is not small."

"It wasn't cost-effective to use artillery against these Japanese soldiers, so I didn't let the artillery teach them a lesson."

"Then has our side been shelled by the Japanese?"

"Not yet, their small-caliber guns haven't had the courage to drag them up, so our heavy artillery is scared. They don't want to irritate us too much now, they don't even use mortars, and they patronize the construction of fortifications. ”

"A tank assault can't stop any fortifications. They don't irritate us, so we stimulate them, and now the Japanese are too comfortable. Lin Jun said to Tukhachevsky.

The Japanese fortifications in front of them were obviously only trenches dug in the sand and piled up sand retaining walls, with only a small amount of wood, and it could be seen that the Japanese transportation lines had been successfully shattered by their own bombing and shelling.

"Where are our snipers? Don't be idle, they won't have anything to do when the general attack comes. "When the tank rushes, you don't need a sniper to cover it.

"Comrade Deputy People's Commissar of National Defense, comrades snipers have submitted war reports, but the snipers in our regiment are only sure of the target within 500 meters, so they are not given a task."

Hearing Lin Jun's words, the head of the regiment, Kelpakich, hurriedly explained.

"What class are you from?"

"Cavalry, cavalry for 15 years."

"Krpakč, it doesn't matter if you are sure or not, the most important thing in the position is to make the opponent nervous, not to be as carefree as he is now. At present, we have a certain advantage in the terrain, and we will only be able to fight so that the Japanese do not dare to raise their heads. ”

Seeing the somewhat uneasy expression of the comrade commander of the regiment, "I don't blame you, commanding infantry and cavalry is a little different, study more in battle." ”

"Commander-in-chief, how about we watch a good show?"

"What's the show?"

"Sniper." Lin Jun turned his head: "Shidorenko, Gurov, Zijin." ”

"Here, Comrade Andrey."

Three snipers with small backpacks and Mosin-Nagan sniper rifles on their shoulders walked up to Lin Jun. Gutor Alekseevich Gurov and Vasherian Petrovich Zigin have always been snipers in Lin Jun's guard, while Ivan Shidorenko only entered his own guard this year as a substitute for Vasily Grigorievich Zaitsev.

"Usually you are a waste in my guard, today let you open the meat, bring the observer to find your own sniper position, and we will watch your performance in the command headquarters. In three hours, whoever has the first record will be awarded a medal of merit. But! You will come back unscathed, and if any of you fools come back with a wound, he will leave the guard and go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report for duty. ”

"Yes, Comrade Andrey!"

The three of them called their partner observers in the guard and began to prepare for the attack on the sidelines.

"Comrade Krpakchi, when the game is over, I will lend them to you for three days, and let them give lessons to the snipers in your regiment."

Tukhachevsky heard that Lin Junlai had such a "game", and he did not object, anyway, he did not plan to return to the command before noon, and there would be no problem with Zhukov's coordination.

"These are the best snipers of the Home Office, and they will not let us down."

Lin Jun looked at the six people who were wearing camouflage clothes and said. Apparently the camouflage suits were homemade, and the three men were already tying thatch to their rifles, while the three observers took out a few wires and quickly folded a small umbrella stand, and got some thatch from outside the headquarters and began to fiddle with it.

Lin Jun has an indescribable taste for the sniper of his own guard, and he didn't expect a Shidorenko to come after he left, and now Lin Jun is embarrassed to support people just after he came: how could this sniper in front of him, who is even more handsome than himself, come to himself? Lin Jun can only regard him as another good-natured joke made by God: because he is the real No. 1 trump card in the history of the Soviet Army, the second largest sniper in the world, second only to Finland's "White Death", and the record record in World War II is to snipe 500 people!

、、、、、、

Shidorenko and observer Zadov arrived at the forefront of the position along the communication trench under the leadership of a comrade sergeant, and he was very satisfied with the communication trench dug here, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side could not see the movement of personnel on this side at all. There were only two observers in the trenches, apparently strange about the two "straw men" brought by Comrade Sergeant. Shidorenko told the two comrades to rest for a while, and not to make a noise no matter what happened.

"Comrade Sergeant, you can go back, we'll be back in two hours."

This is the end of the grassy beach, and further east the plants begin to thin out. Shidorenko knew that there should be several telescopes behind him observing him, and although Comrade Andrei's order was somewhat "entertaining", he was still happy to accept this seemingly irresponsible order in the instinct of a sniper.

Through the thatch, you can see that the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side are making a fire and cooking, and from time to time there are Japanese soldiers with their heads and even their entire bodies exposed in the trenches.

Pointing to his feet, Zadov knew that he was using this place as the first sniper point: the Japanese troops on the opposite side were basically defenseless, and there was no need to go out of the trench to do anything risky, and this camouflage suit was worn in vain.

Putting down the concealed push frame in his hand (the thatched wire shelf), Zadov took out his treasure from his satchel: a large 15x binoculars tied with thatch, attached a small triangular bracket, and carefully placed it at the front of the trench.

Shidorenko stretched the rifle out of the grass unusually slowly, and he was very satisfied with his weapon: the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not prohibit snipers from making small changes to their weapons to suit the user's habits, and the Mosin-Nagan in Shidorenko's hands did not use the PU2.5x scope generally provided to snipers, but a 3~8x zoom sight trial-produced by the Moscow Optical Instrument Factory.

Shidorenko felt very suitable for his habits after trying out this scope, although the volume and weight are almost twice as large as the PU, and it is more precise and easy to damage, but it is in line with his habit of always striving for excellence, but this kind of play is really expensive, there is no way to put it in general order, and he only got this play after he arrived at Comrade Andrei's guard.

Everything is the best in the guard, and even the bullets issued to me for training are high-precision bullets selected by the ammunition factory, which can fully meet the requirements of long-range shooting at 800 meters in their own hands.

"At one o'clock, at a distance of 850 meters, there were three Japanese officers."

Zadov whispered a report in his ears, and through the scope Shidorenko saw the three targets standing in the low lying and pointing. Zadov already knew his partner well, knowing that he would not start with the Japanese soldiers, and chose a target that was farther away but more valuable.

The tree gave a thumbs up: it's them.

Gently adjust the zoom ring to a maximum magnification of eight times, "Downwind, wind speed 1.5 meters." ”

Across a distance of more than 800 meters, the three Japanese officers could see their every move as if they were only 100 meters away.

To be on the safe side, Shidorenko set the point of aim at the chest of the officer in the middle, so that a rifle bullet at such a distance would not be just a small hole after hitting the human body, and would have the same effect as hitting the head.

After adjusting his breathing, he pulled the trigger steadily, and after the crisp sound of the gun, Shidorenko did not focus on observing the target, but quickly pulled the bolt and reloaded it, and in a second it was ready to fire again. After a few moments, the target in Zadov's field of vision fell, and the two officers on the side quickly fell to the ground.

"Kill!" Seeing that Shidorenko had no intention of changing positions, Zadov continued to observe: the Japanese officer was obviously not alive, and his body fell diagonally on the outside of the depression. No longer need him to remind him, Shidorenko must be waiting for the two unlucky people to come alive to rescue.

Sure enough, after a while, a hand came out to drag the corpse, but it was obviously useless, and the corpse of the Japanese soldier moved.

"Phew!" A gunshot rang out in Zadov's ears, and after a second or so, he saw a hand flick quickly behind the corpse, "Wounded! “

Shidorenko withdrew his rifle and squatted in the trench and smiled at Zadov, when gunfire began to sound in the distance on both sides, and it seemed that the other two groups had also opened.

"I can't help it, I don't have clairvoyance, I only see the unlucky guy's hand, whether it hit the head or the ass only it knows." Zadov sat next to him and spread his hands and said: Just now Sidorenko was shooting according to estimates, because judging from the position of his hand, the second officer was behind the corpse, and his vision was blocked, but it could not stop the penetration of the 7.62mm rifle bullet.

Lin Jun and Tukhachevsky in the company headquarters clearly saw the scene of Shidorenko shooting two people in a row, and from the back from a high position, Shidorenko and Zadov in camouflage uniforms in the trenches were very conspicuous, but from the Japanese position opposite, they could only see Maocao Beach.

Just now, Lin Jun was still saying that the three Japanese officers who appeared more than a kilometer away were going to be unlucky, and before he finished speaking, he heard a gunshot and saw the unlucky guy lying diagonally on the ground.

From time to time, intermittent gunfire rang out in front of the 3-kilometer-wide position, but the gunfire became smaller and smaller: at first, the Japanese only thought that the gunfire was just a harassment and shooting, but when the news of someone being killed spread throughout the Japanese position, the interval between the gunshots became longer and longer.

Something unexpected happened in the headquarters, and every time the three-hour deadline came, all three sniper teams returned to the headquarters.

"No one will dare to show their heads today." Lin Jun said to the people around him.

The Shidorenko and Zigin groups each killed 8 people, and the Gurov group killed 7, and because Shidorenko had an extra "wounded" result, it was considered a victory.

He took two cardboard boxes from Gusev's hand and handed them to Tukhachevsky: "Comrade commander-in-chief, you should have awarded these two medals to our winning comrades of the sniper group." ”

Tukhachevsky did not retreat, and took the carton from Lin Jun's hand with a smile: "Comrade Shidorenko and Comrade Zadov, in view of your outstanding performance in the sniper operation on the Haraha River on June 1, 39, which not only eliminated the enemy, but also successfully put the Japanese positions in a panic, I now award you a medal for meritorious service!" ”

After saying that, Tukhachevsky personally put on the medals on the two of them, and the reporters accompanying the army filmed this scene at the same time: Generally, medals and medals are awarded as long as the box is handed over to them, and it is a great honor to be worn by the "God of War" like this, and both of them straightened their waists to accept the award.

The other two groups could only look at Sidorenko and Zadov with "envy", of course, they were just envious, and there would be no dissatisfaction. Although the regular sniper record requires stricter circumstantial evidence than this, they have been together for a while, and everyone knows how many there are, and they will not make up one more.
