Chapter 14: Snipers

"Hit!" Gao Quan used two box cannons in both hands, firing in bursts while running. These two box guns are like two machine guns, "Da da da!" Da-da-da-da! "Strings of fiery snakes flew towards the devils' position.

Immediately behind Gao Quanquan was the reconnaissance company led by Liu Qi and the guard company led by Xiao Cai.

The devils were already understaffed, and it was originally reluctant to deal with a regiment with a squadron. If it is an ordinary local force, an elite squadron of the Japanese army against a disgruntled regiment of the Chinese army, and a dozen. To deal with the elite main regiment of the Central Army like the Ninth Army, one squadron of the devil is not enough. This is also the reason why the devil did not attack vigorously during the day. The leader of the devil squadron originally wanted to wait for the main force of the brigade to consolidate the other two positions before sending reinforcements to his side. The squadron, with the cooperation of the main force of the brigade, counterattacked these Chinese soldiers hiding in the tunnel at this time. Tonight, he was only on a whim, and when he saw that his morale was available, he was excited, and he wanted to try the effect of the sneak attack, so he came here, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

Although the devils have a position, their position is behind the defensive attack, and the defensive effect is about equal to nothing. After all, when it was first designed, it was still its own people in the back, and no one would waste energy on defending their own people. After the devil took over, although the fortifications were renovated again, they were not original after all, and the time was in a hurry, so it was not so handy to use, and how to use it was awkward. In addition, the soldiers of the 256th Regiment were too familiar with everything here, and in the battle in the night, it turned out that Gao Quan had the advantage.

After the devils rushed out of the trenches, they were immediately attacked by superior firepower, which frightened His Excellency the squadron leader to quickly shrink his forces and hold his position. No matter how bad the defensive position is, it is much safer to have a place to stay than to stay in the field in the middle of the night.

In this way, under the tacit understanding of the two sides, Zhang Erxiao's battalion, after paying the price of nearly 20 people, finally moved all the grain, drinking water, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other main and sideline foods in the devil's warehouse back to the tunnel.

Looking at these supplies, the warriors let out a burst of cheers. Although ordinary soldiers don't know how much food and drinking water are left in the regiment, the rationing system in the past few days always makes people feel unsure. Seeing the real things in front of them today, the soldiers were confident in their hearts. We are not afraid of resisting Japan, we died when we fought with the devils, that is to sacrifice our lives for the country, but if we have no water to drink, die of thirst, or have no food to eat, and starve to death, then what's the matter? Not to mention the pain and discomfort, I am afraid that I will not even be able to evaluate a martyr when I die, how wronged is that?

Now that there is enough food and drinking water, the soldiers of the Ninth Army are not afraid to fight with the devils! Commander Hao Mengling told the whole army: If the crockpot does not break from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle! Since the army commanders can die on the anti-Japanese front, there is nothing to be afraid of being a soldier! Isn't it just death, as long as you can pull two more little Japanese pads, you are not afraid of death!

The soldiers of the whole regiment were in high spirits. After Gao Quan saw this situation, he immediately germinated the same idea as the little devil, and the military heart is available!

The Ninth Army is the elite of the Central Army, and there is nothing else, one official rifle per person, which did not run, and the reserve of ammunition is also sufficient. Although the ammunition supply under the mountain could not be transported in the past few days because of the devils outside the tunnel, the rifle ammunition was still very sufficient. Gao Quan convened all the military commanders in the tunnel and held a military mobilization meeting, calling on the whole regiment not to stick to the form, not to be surrounded by all kinds of rules and regulations, to regard the Japanese army on the opposite side as a good target for live ammunition, give full play to the subjective initiative of each soldier, shoot the little devil in various ways, which one killed five Japanese soldiers, reward the ocean with 20 yuan, kill 10, and promote the officer to one level. At the end of the meeting, Gao Quan asked people to carry out a box of silver dollars and put them on the table, "Which one is enough, come directly to me and ask for a reward!" ”

Gao Quan is planning to take out all the boxes of the 256th Regiment, and when the battle is fought to this point, there is no question of what will happen in the future, as long as he can kill the devil, everything will not be considered.

As soon as the soldiers heard that the regiment commander had come up with a tangible reward plan, they immediately boiled over. Before the night passed, the soldiers found their way out of the tunnel and lurked among the rocks and trees around the devil's position.

The sentinels and patrols on duty sent by the devils at night became the best targets for the soldiers to hunt. With the crackling sound of gunfire everywhere, the devil's patrol quickly disappeared. A new patrol was added, and at once countless more bullets came from the darkness. In the end, the devil didn't even send sentinels, preferring to shrink into the fortifications and be a turtle with a shrunken head.

The soldiers saw that the devil didn't show his head, and the fighters who hadn't beaten enough base didn't do it, the devil didn't cooperate! "Boom!" A grenade was thrown, and the devil moved, "Bang! A few gunshots rang out, and the outcropping devil was immediately shot and fell back. The leader of the devil squadron couldn't stand this feeling of being beaten with his head stuffy, and organized his troops to prepare for a strong attack, wanting to fight to the death with the defenders of the tunnel. As soon as the attacking troops appeared, they were knocked over by stray bullets that came from nowhere, and they lost most of their squad at once, and they went bankrupt before the decisive attack began.

For this style of play, the devil is extremely uncomfortable. If you want to fight back with artillery fire, you can't find a place. The bullets came from the surrounding rocks and woods, and there was no fixed place at all, and it seemed that there were hungry muzzles on all sides, waiting for the Japanese to give a fatal shot as soon as they showed up.

This night, the leader of the devil squadron really experienced the feeling of living like a year. When it was dawn, the gunshots that came to mind from time to time were stopped. The captain gathered his troops and counted the numbers, and was immediately shocked, and in just one night, his troops had lost seventy-eight soldiers! How many people are there in a squadron? Coupled with the battle of the previous two days, the captain's troops are now not even able to make up two full squads!

The captain immediately asked His Excellency Shaozo for support and asked Shaozo to send him reinforcements.

In fact, His Excellency Shao Zuo had long wanted to send reinforcements there, but the original position of the third battalion was too narrow to accommodate one of his brigades. In addition, His Excellency Shaozo's troops were also harassed last night, and sporadic bullets flew towards his troops, causing the main force of his brigade to lose dozens of men last night. In fact, this is still a good thing done by those amateur "snipers" who are eager to hit the base enough to receive a bounty.

The devils outside the tunnel are too cunning, and they can't hide in the fortifications and can't get out, so they can't fight at all. After the "sniper" waited for most of the night and completely lost his patience, the three or two people freely combined to look for "prey" in other positions.

The main peak where the Devil Brigade is stationed is undoubtedly a good hunting ground. There are a lot of devils there, and the vigilance is not strong, which is completely in line with the identity of "people are stupid and have a lot of money", and the soldiers who went there did not leave after a few shots.
