Chapter 496: Sniper Achievement

As Wu Jian expected, a few minutes later, the opponent's artillery position began to move, the artillery that had been stopped for almost 20 minutes had already cooled and cleaned up, the artillery began to load, the opponent's cannon began to sound, before the cannon did not shoot, the lookout post here began to order, all the personnel in the barricade temporarily retreated into the safe anti-artillery hole, and no one was left in the barricade to prevent being attacked by shells.

Strict training and strict discipline have always been the advantages of the Northwest Army, and the special forces have penetrated these into the bones, buying and selling the city, which has been operated by Yang Yuanzhao for almost 2 years, although for one reason or another, it cannot be fortified, but it is not comparable to those temporarily constructed positions.

The largest line of defense is still in those reinforced concrete rooms, because of the construction of houses, the protection may not be as strong as those permanent fortifications, but for the cavalry who only carried 75 field guns, such a protection range is sufficient, at least there are dozens of frontal bombardments, and the bombardment to the same point will not be able to break these houses at all.

The artillery fire rang out, this was another high-density shelling, the target of the shelling was not all of the trading city, but the direction of the Russian army's impact, the dust was flying, countless shells and shrapnel fell to the front of the trading city At the same time, the Russian army's charge also began to advance.

According to the training subject, the artillery fire will last a little more than 2 minutes, which is already the longest time that more than 50 guns below 75 can last, and almost every cannon will fire a base number of shells, which is the largest amplitude for the cavalry to come to the 173rd and 179th divisions. The forward position is the focus of their strike, the Russian army that charges with all its might, will rush through the death distance of 400 meters, directly confront the opponent, for themselves very confident in the high-ranking officers of the Russian army, believe that the tall Russian soldiers, will be able to defeat the Chinese soldiers, the Chinese in addition to silk and tea, that is, the name of the sick man of East Asia, famous all over the world, the pig's tail behind the head, is the laughing stock of the world.

is about to achieve victory, take the trading city, it is the first merit of this time to attack Mongolia, Valentin's face showed a smile, the battle merit is destined to belong to the 179th Division, looking back at Andrei, his face was blank, and his heart was full of joy. They both belong to the sequence of the 16th Army in the Far East, but recently there is a deputy commander who is about to retire, he and Andrei are one of the strong contenders, itself, Andrei as the commander of the 173rd Division, in terms of qualifications and strength, are better than Valentin, but in this battle, he made some mistakes, huge losses, but let him seize the opportunity, as long as Valentin occupies the trading city, and Andrei loses his troops and loses generals, if there is no gain, the balance of the deputy commander will be tilted towards him, and he will be able to go to the next level, An important step over the officers, generals and deputy commanders.

Andre was also slightly bitter in his heart, he was really careless, if he was careful, some artillery preparations, even if a little bit of artillery shells were wasted, he would not be beaten so badly, the main force of the first regiment was almost wiped out, and the second regiment also lost most of it, such a blow made his 173rd Division hurt his muscles and bones, otherwise, on the upper Valenjing of the wheel, he would be able to capture the trading city if he was careful.

Looking at the soldiers who were frantically impacting, Andrei's heart was not much happy, but there was a feeling of expecting him to fail, this feeling became more and more intense after seeing Valentin's smile, this Baotou, who had already made him lose his troops, how would he fight this battle, in all fairness, the other party's victory rate was not high, the strategy adopted by Valentin was old and vicious, it was impossible to have thousands of soldiers in the city, and even 800 people were limited, such an attack method was just to get stuck in the dead end.

The 173 and 179 are also the two most powerful divisions of the 16th Army, both of which have a group of veterans who participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and they know that there will be a certain danger in rushing to the barrage, but with what they have seen, the number of automatic firearms on the opposite side, at this time, only a fast and unsparing charge forward is the best way to save their lives, and in the midst of artillery fire, there should be no fire points to attack.

It doesn't make any sense to think about anything else, 400 meters is the distance between life and death. 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, this is the most dangerous moment Valentin believes that maybe the survivors in the artillery fire, or avoid the fire point of the artillery fire, will produce a little bit of damage, but the sacrifice is bearable, as long as he rushes through this death zone, this trading city will be captured, in order to capture it, he will even pay a regiment, or even two regiments.

50 meters, 30 meters, getting closer and closer, there is no reaction from the other side, is it difficult, it is * off outside, Valentin's face, the smile is even stronger, this is the Chinese combat effectiveness, tactics, strategy, these need mature officers to guide, China may have some weapons, even the Cossack division does not have large-scale equipment of Makqin and automatic weapons, but so what, a well-trained Russian army, has multiple strategies, not a batch of automatic firearms can resist ......

Just when the soldiers at the front were about to approach the edge of the trading city, Valentin's heart also reached the highest point, but at this time, the mutation suddenly appeared, more violent, and loud voices sounded on the battlefield, and not a single one, officers who are familiar with military affairs, can hear it, at least more than 70 Makqin, all concentrated in the forward position, those cannons can not be destroyed in the room.

Makqin this kind of automatic firearm, since the appearance of the weapon, is a sharp weapon to kill, Valentin, participated in the Russo-Japanese War, at that time, he was not a division commander, just a battalion commander, but he can't forget, the scene at that time, under the blockade of more than a dozen Makqin by the Japanese army, they died in the whole battalion, they are the third battalion, if the two battalions in front did not rush to the position of the Japanese army, they must also face this Makqin for a decisive impact.

Fortunately, when his third battalion rushed up, the Japanese army was already at the end of the crossbow, not only there were no bullets in the machine gun, but even the shooters were not complete, and finally he successfully rushed to the position, killed a battalion of Japanese soldiers, and captured 20 Makqin by the way, because of this battle, even if the Russo-Japanese War failed, Valentin also embarked on the road to Qingyun, all the way from the regiment commander, brigade commander, to the division commander, the upgrade speed is rarely fast.

"Why are there so many Makqins!" Valentin wailed, not to say, the opposite side is Chinese, and there are not many regular troops, 70 Makqin, at least equivalent to divisional firepower, plus before, there are at least more than 150 automatic firearms on the opposite side. The pain is unimaginable, the troops at this time are close at hand, and Valentin can only hope that the soldiers can react.

Unlike the cavalry charge, the foot charge, every well-trained soldier is always vigilant, when Makqin's voice sounded, except for the first batch, before they had time to react, they were torn apart by Makqin's bullets, most of the Russian troops were urgently lying down, of course, the corpse of the previous 173 division charge, became their natural cover,

Valentin's expressions are completely different from Andrei's, Valentin is a surprise, because among the 4,500 people in the first wave of charge, less than 200 people fell, and even some of them were only injured, which is completely different from the previous 173 Division's table, and the most important thing is that they have rushed to the nearest 100 meters of the trading city, as long as they crawl forward, they should be able to touch the trading city, as long as more than 7,500 people arrive at the trading city, the victory will definitely belong to them.

Valentin didn't be happy for long, Makqin's voice gradually dissipated, but the sound of crackling gunfire kept rang out, among the 400 special combat personnel, there were 70 snipers, plus their assistants, a total of 130 people, they were all arranged in the 4-storey building of the trading city, the unique design, the special blocking position, plus the excellent blocking gun and its own suzhì, in this daytime when the sun rises, it is almost as accurate as the roll call.

Under a wave of attacks, at least 100 sniper rifles with 5 magazines killed and wounded, in the hands of mature shooters, can fire 5 shots in a minute in a row, and when the first wave of attacks is completed, close to 500 people, lying down forever.

Valentin felt strange, how could the good soldiers who were crawling in front of him fall down with their heads crooked, more than one, could it be that the other party would use demon methods, it was easy to let go of the heart, and it was mentioned again, especially after a minute, Makqin sounded again, as if it was well coordinated, in the interval of the sniper rifle, suppressing the Russian army and not being able to raise its head.

"It's not a sharpshooter!" Andrei said with some discoloration, in this era, the powers have not yet popularized snipers, but in the European war, sharpshooters have gradually emerged, this is probably the prototype of snipers, the first-class soldiers with first-class marksmanship, with more accurate guns, for infantry combat has a huge role in promoting, this is the European army knows, obviously, there are more than 100 sharpshooters on the opposite side, sharpshooters and automatic firearms with the cooperation of the infantry, the infantry has been unable to make contributions.

After getting Andrei's reminder, he quickly ordered to retreat, the retreat of about 4,000 people, even if there was a rule, but under the double pressure of Makqin and snipers, it took them a full 12 minutes to withdraw from the range of the Northwest Army, and among the 4,500 people, less than half of them fled back, that is, 2,500 people fell on the position in front of the city.
