Perhaps the Japanese troops guarding the southern position would never have dreamed that He Zhengdao's attack tonight would not seek to break through their blocking position, but only to shoot them as much as possible. In this way, www.biquge.info achieve the purpose of depleting the strength of the defenders.

As the new 67th Army is equipped with the most sniper rifles, this time He Zhengdao will be equipped with sniper rifles for the reconnaissance brigade, along with those of the nearest combat units, and use them in a centralized manner.

More than 300 soldiers who are excellent in shooting and have professional training in sniping form a professional sniper combat unit. The appearance of such a force was undoubtedly very fatal for the Japanese troops guarding their positions.

Even on the battlefield, I could see the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, dangling under their noses from time to time. But as long as the flares were fired, these attacking Eighth Route Army guaranteed to crawl on the ground as soon as possible.

And the Japanese troops on the position, when they raised their heads and prepared to shoot, often exchanged for a lethal bullet. Such a defensive and blocking battle undoubtedly made the Japanese troops on the position look a little panicked.

During this period of time, the battle with the Eighth Route Army made them most frightened not by the strength of the Eighth Route Army, but by the Eighth Route Army's way of fighting that did not follow common sense. For these Japanese troops, it was difficult to respond effectively and in a timely manner.

Looking at the blocking position, groups of fallen soldiers, and the captain of the infantry brigade commanding in the rear, he was also very annoyed: "Baga, how did this battle be fought?" Before the enemy could charge, we suffered so many casualties? ”

In the face of the thunderous infantry captain, the squadron leader who came to report the news also said helplessly: "Your Excellency, most of our opponents are hidden in the shadows, and most of the troops they are responsible for attacking do not enter our firepower.

And from time to time mortars were used to strike at our machine-gun positions. Although our artillery, targeted countermeasures. But a lot of times, those cold guns and cold guns are very accurate, and it is difficult for us to guard against them.

Especially the enemy gunners, whose rifles far exceeded ours. The most unbelievable thing is that in such a situation, they can actually achieve a single shot on many occasions. This is the toughest enemy I've ever seen since I joined the army! ”

'Yaga, are you praising our enemies?' ’

The captain of the infantry brigade who slapped him over was undoubtedly very unhappy with the fear and admiration revealed in the squadron leader's words. And it is also very common for the Japanese military superiors to slap their subordinates.

'Hey! ’

The squadron leader, who was slapped in the face, could only bow his head obediently. The officials crushed people to death at the first level, let alone in the case of war. If you really want to stand up to this captain, if you want to send a death squad, this squadron leader will probably take the lead.

In the face of the unfavorable situation on the front line, the Eighth Route Army was divided into batches and launched exploratory attacks from time to time to block the Japanese troops on the positions, which were indeed played by the sniper troops. When they hear the charge, they can't help but look up.

And looking up often means that they will be targeted by snipers. And being locked often means a headshot. Such a battle of humiliation and huge casualties really made the Japanese troops who blocked the position feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of the attacking Eighth Route Army, most of them were hiding outside their own range, and soon a Japanese soldier said: "Bring our grenadiers up, use grenadiers to scatter, and suppress the gunners in the shadows." The rest of the riflemen, be careful not to look up casually. ”

Looking at the grenadiers who were gathered one after another, they began to throw grenades outside. Some of the snipers who stayed in the offensive positions were too close, and some casualties could not be avoided.

But He Zhengdao, who was watching the battle from the rear, said directly after seeing this scene: "Use our small-caliber mortars and suppress their grenadiers for me." Order the troops to fight slowly, don't rush, we have time to waste with the little devils. ”

He Zhengdao, who has always paid attention to the battle situation ahead, can be heard from the sound of gunfire that there are snipers in the position of the front. In fact, it is much more difficult to accurately snipe targets at night than during the day.

Even if the sniper rifle is equipped with a scope, it can increase the line of sight of the shot through flares. But the closer it gets, the better the range will undoubtedly be. But in this way, they will be in the range of the little devil grenadiers.

Don't look at the little devil's grenadier, it is also a random shot from the east and the west. But it is precisely this kind of random shooting that will form a kind of pressure on the sniper. Under pressure, it is also normal for the accuracy of shooting to decrease.

He Zhengdao commands battles and likes to pull the opponent into his own rhythm of battle, rather than fighting according to the rhythm of the opponent. Now let the troops not be in a hurry, but also to stabilize the rhythm of the troops, so as not to be dragged away by little devils.

The 51st Army and the 77th Army, who had been listening to the sound of guns and artillery in the south, were also ready for battle. Even if the 77th Army is not equipped with many mountain artillery, there are also many mortars. When the 51st Army launched another attack, they also launched an artillery bombardment.

Listening to the sound of attacking guns from the east, south, and west, the commander of the 16th Division, Fujie Keisuke, who was staying in the town, also said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Baga, the speed of the encirclement of the Chinese army is somewhat beyond our expectations.

The battle had barely begun, and one of our mountain artillery positions was destroyed by them. It seems that they want to end the battle as soon as possible and encircle us here. Order the front-line troops to resist tonight.

As long as we hold out until dawn, I believe that our air force will rush to help. When the time comes, I believe that the enemy will not dare to attack us again. In one more day, we will be able to repair the core blocking position.

With the troops and weapons we have in the town, we'll be able to stay here for at least a week. For this reason, tonight's battle is crucial, so that our warriors must hold on. Tonight will be the turning point between victory and defeat! ”

Although Keisuke Fujie knew that the main force of the division was basically retained. The only regret was that the cavalry units of their divisions suffered relatively heavy losses. It's just a defensive battle, and the role of cavalry is actually not great.

Today, he is most concerned about the fortifications that are being built outside the town. And at this moment, many people's houses in the town have been ransacked by little devils. Those beams and wooden doors were all demolished by the little devils.

In the absence of steel, the Japanese army wanted to build strong fortifications, so they had to rely on demolishing people's houses to build. After all, to cut down trees and build fortifications now will undoubtedly greatly delay their time.

The most fortunate thing tonight was undoubtedly the engineering unit belonging to the 16th Division. The rest of the troops, who had eaten dinner and were mostly able to recuperate, had to speed up and build fortifications around the town.

As for the Japanese blocking positions on the periphery, the fortifications were relatively simple. But in the case of night battles, without understanding the situation, the attacking troops wanted to make a breakthrough, and there were still some problems.

The battle continued until midnight, and both the 51st and 77th armies carried out several attacks. Although the losses were relatively large, the Japanese troops who were responsible for the defense also did not bargain too much, and they also suffered a lot of losses.

When the situation was summarized, when he saw that there were nearly 1,000 casualties in the southern position, which was the sum of the other two positions, Fujie Keisuke was surprised again: "Yaga, why is there such a big casualty in the southern position?" ”

The chief of staff quickly said: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army attacking the south should be equipped with a lot of sniper rifles. Many of these casualties were killed by snipers. I really don't understand, how can they be equipped with so many sniper rifles? ”

In the eyes of the Japanese army, sniper rifles were not a rare item. But even so, there were not many snipers in the Japanese army. But in tonight's battle, they really saw the lethality of snipers.

In these years, there are quite a few rifles suitable for sniper rifles. But the scope of the sniper rifle is a relatively rare thing. Even if the Japanese army made a breakthrough in the development of sights, it could not equip the troops in large quantities.

At this time, it is normal for them to be surprised to suddenly find that the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of sniper rifles. In fact, this is also the research results achieved by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in addition to weapons.

After a breakthrough has been made in targeted research, a large number of troops will be equipped to conduct actual combat tests, and this has always been the principle that He Zhengdao abides by. It is precisely because of this that the reconnaissance brigade is equipped with a large number of sniper rifles.

Basically, each combat squad will be equipped with one or two snipers. Now that they are all used together, such a deterrent power undoubtedly makes the little devil feel terrified.

After at least a few rounds of fighting, the Japanese troops who were blocking the positions in the south no longer dared to raise their heads at will. As long as the flare is on, the little devil also learns not to look up. Only when the position was once again in darkness did they dare to look up slightly.

In terms of adapting to the battlefield and the rhythm of battle, the little devil is still very professional and set. But what they didn't know was that when the sniper units continued to attack, their connection with the eastern and western positions was already very weak.

Receiving the message from the lurking team, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "To the east, an assault company will be dispatched to this position to stand by." In addition, send a liaison to contact Commander Xu.

Judging from the current situation, the junction between us and the 77th Army is still tightly guarded by the little devils, and they can't find a chance to break through for the time being. But there is already a loophole in the joint with Commander Xu. This is an opportunity! ”

Although the little devil also took into account the problem of the junction when deploying the defense. But as the fighting continued, so did their troops. On the southern position, the Japanese army continued to consume and send reinforcements.

Under these circumstances, the Japanese troops in the east and south guarding the junction had not been able to mobilize much of the troops in the junction after the lack of effective communication. This means that He Zhengdao or the 51st Army has created an excellent opportunity for a breakthrough.

As long as they break through from the junction, it is believed that it will also form a fatal blow to the Japanese troops guarding the eastern position. And as soon as this fighter appeared, it was keenly grasped by He Zhengdao! (To be continued.) )
