Chapter 155, Garrison
The vanguard of the 014 mixed division arrived, and the armored troops parked on the position could be seen from a distance, and they rushed over without saying a word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Report to the commander, the commander of the 014th Regiment of the 3rd Mixed Division, Li Gu came to take over the defense." The commander of the third regiment of the vanguard ran to the commander of the armored division and saluted.
"Well, I got it, I'll leave it to you first." The commander of the armored division returned the salute, and then, with his own armored troops, got out of position and settled in the rear. They are armored troops, which are not suitable for positional warfare, and are mainly used to break through defenses and assault points, and for them, fighting positional warfare is simply overkill.
After the armored division retreated, and the third regiment took over, it began to sort out the position, dig trenches, set up weapons, and was very busy, but the corpses left on the position, many recruits were disgusted to their stomachs, and it was nothing to kill people with guns from a distance, but when you look at these corpses up close, there are many fragments, which look very disgusting.
"Look at their appearance, are they very similar to when we were on the battlefield in Lu'an." The two veterans sat on the mound, with a hint of playfulness, looking at the recruits who cleaned up the corpses while spitting, recalling that when they were in the battle in Lu'an, his entire platoon went up as recruits, and now, the whole platoon is still good with the two of them, many people died in the Battle of Lu'an, and some were killed in the Battle of Brisbane, and there are a few who were disabled, and their hands and feet were intact and fine, and there were only two of them, and they were very lucky to be assigned to a regiment and serve as a platoon commander.
"Don't laugh at them, you weren't much better, even worse than them." The corners of his companion's mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully.
"You're embarrassed to talk about me, and you're not going anywhere." The despised veterans went back with contempt.
"Forget it, let's not get to the bottom of it, let's see how their position is dug and check it out." The companion stood up, patted his buttocks, and left.
The corpses on the position were almost picked up, and the corpses of the Germans at the front of the position were also picked up, and the corpses of the Allies would be handed over to the Allies later, and the corpses of the Germans were poured with gasoline in an open space and burned, and the weather here was very hot during the day, and it would stink after a long time.
After tidying up the position, most of the day has passed, and the sky is gradually getting dark.
A large box of flares was brought up to the position, and after dark it was shot into the sky.
In the northern suburbs of Solum, as well as in the city, there was still the sound of gunfire, and the Germans and the Allies fought back and forth for the city, only the northern suburbs did not move, and the Germans seemed to be frightened by the sudden rush of the Seventh Army, and did not dare to attack for a while.
The hesitation of the Germans gave the Seventh Army the opportunity to organize its positions, and the 014th Division was completely stationed in its positions, and the artillery in the rear was also set up, ready to fire at any time.
On the opposite side of the position, about a kilometer or so, was the position of the German army.
There were snipers in the German army, and those with military ranks did not dare to stand a little higher, and before that, another battalion commander stood a little higher, holding a telescope to observe the German positions, and then he was killed by bullets fired from unknown sources according to the law.
Since they can't stand tall or hang binoculars, this can't be difficult for them, and there are artillery mirrors that can be used.
Compared with the telescope, the effect of the artillery mirror is better, but it is troublesome to erect, and it is convenient to look at the glasses, so you can see it if you want.
The snipers of the German army are arrogant, and the snipers of the 014 mixed division are naturally not to be outdone, and they are better than the Mauser rifle with a scope in the German army, after all, this is a professional sniper rifle.
The number of snipers, the number of mixed divisions alone is more than that of the German army, they are equipped with one sniper per squad, although the good and the bad are not good, but there are also powerful.
"Bang!"
The gunfire was crisp, and a German soldier lying in the trench with a probe probing his brain was instantly lifted out of his head, and there was an extra eye on the steel helmet, and red and white liquid flowed out of this eye.
The Germans hiding in the trench saw that their companion was killed after only half of his head was raised, and he immediately felt that there were snipers on the opposite side, and it seemed that the technology was higher, and at a distance of a thousand meters, he could hit a target that was not as big as a palm.
The Germans picked up the 98k sniper of their fallen companions, and the Germans were apparently also snipers.
On the position of the 014th Mixed Division, some snipers with AWM high-precision snipers were lying on the sand, covered with camouflage cloth, the whole person was attached to the ground, and the guns were also covered with camouflage, and if they didn't get closer, they couldn't see any difference here.
Snipers with SVDs, they don't have to work so hard, because of guns, a distance of 1000 meters is somewhat difficult for SVD.
"Bang!"
Another sniper pulls the trigger, and the bullet flies towards the target at a speed of kilometers per second.
The wind in the desert was relatively strong, and the bullet was slightly off-line by the wind, and the distance was too far, and the trajectory was slightly sagging.
The bullet landed, just in front of a layer of sand in front of the target, and the target was retracting his head, just now he just stuck his head out to look.
A layer of sand that was not thick could not stop a bullet as powerful as Barrett's AWM. The bullet pierced the sand and hit the German soldier in the head.
The sniper who fired the shot clearly saw the liquid splashing behind the German position, proving that the bullet had successfully hit the target.
The German soldier was a probe before, and he aimed at the German soldier's head, but he was worried that the German soldier would suddenly retract, so he moved a little down, and it happened to be in that layer of dug up sand pile, about the neck of the German army.
If the Germans hadn't turned back, the shot would have killed him in the neck. If he shrinks back, then concentrate his brain, and it is also death.
Anyway, it was this German army that had to die.
The sky gradually darkened, the vision became worse and worse, and the snipers on the side of the mixed division replaced the AWM with thermal imaging, but the snipers on the German side could only die down.
But not to be outdone, they continued to look for the muzzle flame of the mixed division's snipers.
At night, the muzzle flame will reveal the sniper's position, making it a very good target. A few snipers did not move after shooting, and they were killed by German snipers, and I have to say that German snipers are also very powerful.
In the thermal imaging, the desert just after a day of exposure, exuding a faint heat, in the thermal imaging scope is pale yellow, which affects the judgment of the sniper, and wants the sand to cool down, it will take at least two hours, so there is no rush to fire here, and after two hours, the sand cools down, and by the way, the sniper rifle is replaced with a flame suppressor, and the opening of the horn is installed, although it cannot completely eliminate the flame, but it also reduces the muzzle flame to a minimum.
