The enemy's attack was very fierce, and at the beginning of the battle, several elite troops were inserted, and the locust army and the imperial army were divided into four parts by means of decapitation, waist and tail cutting tactics, and using superior forces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If it is a large encirclement, the locust army and the imperial army are together, although the imperial army is unbearable, but under the pressure of the locust army, it does not dare to retreat and surrender easily. But now, Yatian knew that it was difficult for the Imperial Allied Army to fight independently, especially against an opponent like the New Seventh Army.

The battle situation was also just as Yatian feared, under the blow of artillery fire and fierce attack, the divided puppet army quickly lost the will to fight. The final collapse was the devastating bombardment of more than a dozen flying thunder cannons, and they began to retreat and surrender in panic, and some puppet soldiers even shot Japanese advisers and stubborn puppet army officers as evidence of their rebellion.

The weakness of the puppet army allowed the 27th Division to draw more troops and intensify the attack on the Japanese devils. Such a change, Yatian quickly realized.

"Imperial Army—" Masada gritted his teeth and looked in the direction where the gunfire had stopped, that was where Shi Xijiu's troops were, they were finished, or surrendered, and soon, the enemy would exert more pressure from that direction.

Snowflakes fell on Masatian's head, body, and face, and he was like a log, unaware.

"Boom!" There was an explosion very close, and a heavy machine-gun position was destroyed by direct fire, and the severed limbs and gun parts, accompanied by mud and snow dust, flew into the air.

Masada's eyes rounded, and he seemed to regain consciousness. Observing around, he drew his command knife and howled to command the troops to continue fighting.

The enemy not only had an advantage in artillery fire, but also outwhelmed the locusts in the firepower of light and heavy weapons. Through this hour of fierce fighting, Yatian reluctantly realized this.

Light machine guns, made in the Czech Republic, were so numerous that Yatan did not believe his ears; The chainsaw-like roar was even more terrifying, and the 92 heavy machine guns and crooked handles were suppressed, and the rows of locust troops fell under the dense rain of bullets fired from that weapon.

Moreover, the enemy is unusually well prepared, either wearing a white cloak or wearing a cotton coat backwards, and the target in the snow is very inconspicuous. On the other hand, the locust army, with its yellow-green tweed coat lined with snow, is as eye-catching as a target.

Well-thought-out, well-prepared, fierce but out of order. This, this is a terrible opponent.

Masata gritted his teeth, he wanted to organize another breakout, or rendezvous with another divided ally. Although several shocks resulted in heavy losses under dense enemy fire, no action was to sit still.

"Warriors, for the Empire, for the ......" Masatia jumped to his feet, brandishing his command knife and encouraging the locust army, but his voice stopped abruptly.

The locust officers and soldiers, who were boosted by their morale, saw the tragic scene, and the right shoulder of the commander who shouted loudly was splashed with flesh and blood on his chest, his arm was torn from the shoulder, and the small half of his body turned into a blur of flesh and blood, and fell into the snow with a thud.

"It's fun!" Xu Xiaoyan grinned, even if he had a retractor, the recoil was much greater than that of the 38 sniper rifle, but he didn't feel pain at all, and he was completely immersed in the joy of killing the devil with this big killing weapon.

Point 50 heavy snipers, only less than ten snipers are produced, and they are completely drawn from the most elite snipers for adaptive training. And Xu Xiaoyan, as a senior sniper, immediately fell in love with this long-range and powerful guy. But training is training, actual combat is actual combat, and seeing the devil being beaten to the point of flesh and blood, the feeling is completely different.

"It's a bit windy!" Xu Xiaoyan gently adjusted the scope and smiled at the observer next to him, "But the bullets fired by this guy are enough to choke." ”

The observer held up his binoculars and nodded slightly, not fully accustomed to the shock of the bloody image.

"Looking for a big official, it's a waste to fight small soldiers." Xu Xiaoyan approached the scope and observed it by himself.

"Yaxi give!" With a howl that changed tone, after a little confusion, the commander who took over from Yatian urged the devil to charge.

"Boom, boom, boom......" grenade launchers fired first, followed by 60 and 82 mortars in the back, pouring shells into the ranks of the devils charging. Light and heavy fire roared, weaving a line of death for interception.

The flames burst out, shrapnel flew, gunpowder smoke rose one after another, and the devil's stumps and flesh, gun parts, and cloth and dirt were lifted into the air.

Before the smoke of the artillery fire had cleared, the surviving devils stumbled out, like demons and monsters suddenly emerging from the smoke, and they rushed forward frantically, charging desperately in the rain of bullets and bombardment.

The front of the position was quickly filled with bloody corpses! The fighting on the front-line positions has not stopped, and in the light of the explosion, you can see the figures of soldiers on both sides scuffling and fighting, and you can also hear angry roars and terrible screams.

After paying a heavy price, the divided devils finally converged in one place. But they did not escape, and the collapse of the puppet army allowed the 27th Division to adjust its forces and form a tighter encirclement of the enemy.

A short break in battle meant more intense fighting. At this time, there were less than a thousand devils left in one place, and more than half of them had been lost.

The snow is still falling, and there is no hurry or slowness. The wind was still blowing, with a chill.

Bang! A cold gunshot rang out, and a devil officer who was observing seemed to have been hit head-on by a mace, and threw himself back sharply, his whole head and the telescope together became a blur of flesh and blood, and was almost blown away.

Large-caliber heavy machine guns! The devil officer judged according to his common sense that the opponent was using a large-caliber heavy machine gun, and it was very likely to be a Browning M1917 heavy machine from the United States. But is this heavy machine gun capable of firing single shots? The devil officer didn't know it in his heart. But he would never have dreamed that the New Seventh Army would have a heavy sniper rifle, with the assistance of a six-fold scope, with an effective range of 1,200 meters.

Strive for precise firearm processing, the warhead design of the boat-shaped tail cone, and the new propellant make the bullet more accurate. Similarly, at present, the three or eight large covers used by the snipers of the New Seventh Army are widely used, in addition to carefully selecting and replacing them with six-fold scopes, their bullets have also begun to be specially modified and customized. The new propellant has a higher ignition point, and the warhead is covered from back to front by the traditional extrusion process, and finally leaves a small hole at the tip of the bullet. Later generations called this kind of bullet as an open-pointed bullet, because the deformation of its core was greatly reduced, which was very conducive to improving the shooting accuracy.

"Without advanced ammunition, there can be no advanced weapons" is a saying circulating in the light weapons industry. For ordinary soldiers, the amount of ammunition is important. But for snipers, high-precision bullets mean the highest level of "one shot, one life".

Therefore, while mass-producing copper-clad steel-shelled bullets, Yang Tianfeng did not forget to tilt the data and specially opened a small stove for snipers. Coupled with the regularization and systematization of sniper training, the snipers of the New Seventh Army have increasingly become a killer weapon in the troops. Designated hunting, team observation, fire support, patrols, fixed-point ambushes, etc., their value and role are also increasingly valued.

Perhaps, Yang Tianfeng was the first person in the world to attach importance to snipers, formulate guidelines and tactics for them, and hold training courses. You know, by the time of the Soviet-German war, many officers believed that snipers were no better than hooligans, that sniping had no dignity at all, and that it was a dishonest way of fighting.

But for Yang Tianfeng, all the means that can destroy the devils can be used, because they are beasts. Moreover, war is a ruthless system, neither for "morality" nor for "heroism", and the use of maximum force is its means, and all this has nothing to do with the victims. Whether he was hit by a sniper rifle, or blown to pieces by a shell.

Snipers have undergone rigorous training and acquired certain unspeakable skills in actual combat, and they use terrain and camouflage, as well as their own professional skills, to fight, and any objection seems comical in the face of all this.

Another officer died tragically, which caused some commotion among the devils. Those snipers lurking in the snow and being extremely cleverly camouflaged have caused a lot of panic among the devils. People instinctively feel more terrified about the invisible killing machine.

The clothes were already soaked, and they were frozen hard in the wind and snow. There was a look of exhaustion on each devil's face, but the fierce battle did not stop for long. Even if it was a brief pause, the cold killing intent enveloped them all the time.

With the sound of heavy mortar fire, the shells fell; The eighty-two and sixty-zero mortars also joined the chorus, and the explosions mingled like a vague thunder.

There is nothing mysterious about the approach and explosion of a shell, and when you hear the whistling sound of an approaching shell in the distance, your muscles will contract and you will feel very helpless.

But under intense artillery fire, the terrible physical and emotional effects of the explosion are magnified. The cannonballs not only blow up a person's body, but also torture a person's mind and make him lose his mind. Every time a bomb goes off, I feel tormented, listless, and exhausted.

With dazzling flashes, explosions came and went, and shrapnel whistled and burst out, tearing through the air. Before the smoke cleared, dirt and snow fell, mixed with severed limbs and gun parts.

The shelling lasted a few minutes, but it seemed long for the devils who were in a desperate situation. Because they have hardly tasted it, they usually watch their artillery bombard.

The shells seemed to be a little sparse, but with screams and gunfire, the battle broke out suddenly. Under the cover of the shelling, the opponent in a white camouflage suit had already quietly touched up, and the nearest distance was only a few tens of meters. These opponents are silent, obviously veterans of night battles and sneak attacks.

The sound of gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing rang out in one piece, piercing through the wind and snow.

Czech-made, flower-trapped, and shotgun* spewed a dense rain of bullets, followed by a barrage of grenades, forming a breakthrough on the left side of the devil in a very short time. The devil resisted desperately and kept drawing troops, but he couldn't stop the opponent from pouring in from the breach, and formed a division and encirclement of its defense system.

In fact, the ending has long been doomed. With superior artillery fire and overwhelming troops, excluding those thousands of puppet troops, the 27th Division had to seriously deal with only 1,7800 devils.

The fierce battle lasted for more than six hours, and more than 4,000 days of puppet troops were completely annihilated, and none of them escaped the net. Except for more than 30 devils who were captured, the rest of the locust army was killed; However, the puppet army suffered less than 500 casualties, and more than 1,500 became prisoners.

And just over an hour earlier, the sudden counteroffensive of the Independent Brigade had also declared victory. More than 200 devils and more than 700 puppet troops who monitored the breakthrough, totaling more than 1,000 enemies, were wiped out, and only a dozen or so enemies escaped through the net and fled back to Feng County.

……………

Yang Tianfeng did not rush to the front line to take command, but in the office, he always kept in touch with the staff at the front, telegram after telegram, and grasped the latest battle situation in real time.

When the news of the battle in Lulou Town came, Yang Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle is still going on, there is no suspense about victory, the difference is only the size of the victory.

Now the situation has become clear, and the enemy's troops left behind in Feng and Shan counties are no longer capable of attacking. or besieged by the 27th Division and the Separate Brigade; Or temporarily monitor with a small number of troops, and the main force will go straight to the fishing platform, cut off the back road of Xiaochuan's department, and then gather and annihilate it.

The opinion of Liang Moqing and the General Staff was to strike while the iron was hot, attack Yutai, cut off the enemy's retreat, and destroy the enemy's main force in the Huxi area in a battle. Then attack the city and take the empty and isolated counties of Shan, Feng, and Pei.

The clouds were thick, the snow showers were incessant, and the sorties of the devil's planes were greatly affected, which of course was a favorable condition. But after a long run in the wind and snow, Yang Tianfeng was still a little worried. After receiving Liang Moqing's affirmative reply, he dispelled his doubts and agreed to the operational deployment to eliminate Xiaochuan.

The independent brigade monitored the enemy in Fengxian, and the 27th Division took a short rest and moved north from the road of Shunzhai Town, Huankou Town, and Tangma Town, and the troops were divided into three routes, and pounced on the flank and rear road of Xiaochuan's headquarters; At the same time, the 25th Division retreated slightly, attracting Xiaochuan to continue to penetrate deep into Peixian, so as to facilitate the encirclement and annihilation.

As long as the encirclement is reached, the 3,000 devils and 2,000 puppet troops led by Xiao Chuan will inevitably be destroyed. Although this task was completed by the 25th Division alone, and there was a possibility of success, it was not very certain. After all, the 25th Division still had to guard against the enemy in Peixian, and it couldn't go all out to deal with Xiaochuan.

The lion fights the rabbit, and will do his best. Yang Tianfeng strives to win every battle, so he naturally must be fully prepared and sure of victory. And the forces used in the campaign can also show his intentions and characteristics.

And Yang Tianfeng is not in a hurry to return to the front line, but he is not too lazy to be gentle and happy. It's just that he has always had a more accurate positioning for himself. In the final analysis, he is more suitable to be a theoretical expert to guide the war of resistance from a strategic level. Of course, this is inseparable from his knowledge of history and his ability to be opportunistic. (To be continued.) )
