In the next day's exercise, the situation was slightly better, the infantry had a sense of the focus of the attack, the deployment of troops was also adjusted in a targeted manner, and the artillery also sent observation posts to the front line.

Zhang Shaofang saw that Xu Ming had not rested these days, in addition to the basic greeting and communication, he plunged into the training of the troops, and he wanted to be relieved, "Division, our offensive is already very good in the ** system, the former 113th Division is the unit of the Northeast Army, and when the battle is fought, it is also an order, and all rush forward." ”

If it was good to pull out a general among the dwarves, many officers at that time did not even have basic tactical literacy, and one-sidedly emphasized the bravery and sacrifice spirit of the troops, and only knew how to fight to the death. Xu Mingke did not want his troops to suffer heavy casualties under the accurate fire and artillery attacks of the Japanese army, and said, "This is the level of the civil war, or even the level of the Qing Dynasty, and even if our troops cannot be perfect as the German army, they must be excellent in the Japanese army." ”

"Shizao, do you think our army is comparable to the Japanese army now?"

"Almost, the little devil's coordination is really good, but the equipment is also average, and the war relies on spirit more than us."

"Master, I think tomorrow's drill should be like this..."

The problems were solved one by one, and the troops gradually found tacit understanding in the exercises, but Xu Ming always felt that his troops still lacked something, or that his troops needed to add new skills.

Speaking of adding new skills. Xu Ming's first thought was Germany's blitzkrieg, in World War II, the Germans used this advanced tactic to abuse Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other allies in the early stage, especially the use of armored forces had revolutionary changes, but Xu Ming analyzed the actual situation in China, and the blitzkrieg had no possibility to play in China.

Any strategy and tactics are based on their own capabilities, the German army's strong staff ability, high-quality officer class, perfect and effective communication and liaison, and the perfect coordination of infantry, tanks, and aircraft make the German army a perfect war machine.

Xu Ming thought of another tactic, sniper tactics.

Sniper tactics existed in ancient times, such as killing and wounding the enemy with cold arrows, and the earliest application of sniper tactics in modern times was the American Civil War, and it was widely used during World War I. However, in Xu Ming's view, even the sniper tactics of the First World War had great limitations, and the snipers belonged to the infantry establishment, just like the tanks belonged to the infantry supplement, and the sniper tactics had no independent components at that time, either in terms of establishment or tactical thinking.

Sniper tactics came to light in World War II, next year's Soviet-Finnish war, the Finns will use this tactic to make the Soviets vomit blood, before the war the Soviets were more optimistic than Japan before the Lugou Bridge incident, claiming that "if you raise your voice a little, the Finns will give in!" "The Soviet Union sent 450,000 troops in the first wave, attacked Finland with only 30,000 standing troops, and only expanded to 127,000 troops before the war, but the Soviet Union paid a huge price in the end, with nearly one million dead and wounded, according to Khrushchev's recollections! Only "land where their bodies were buried" was obtained.

The reason why the Finns can achieve such excellent results, mobile and flexible guerrilla warfare and fast and effective sniper tactics are important reasons, Finnish snipers are dressed in white camouflage suits, stepping on skis, slaughtering like chickens in the ice and snow and shivering, officers command rigid Soviet soldiers, often a sniper team of 3-4 people kills a company of the Soviets in half an hour, and then roars away to kill another company!

The tactics of the Finns can be borrowed completely, and the requirements for sniper tactics are much lower than those of blitzkrieg, except that the combat environment changes, with the cold Finnish forest on one side and the more diverse and complex terrain of China on the other. During the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army sent a report to Tokyo by the inspection squad of the General Staff Headquarters saying: "The sniper education in China was extremely thorough, and the Japanese officers suffered great losses..." However, this kind of sniper warfare was not fundamentally different from the sniper tactics of the First World War, and what Xu Ming wanted to do was to greatly sublimate this tactic and become an important supplement to regular warfare, just like the Finns next year.

If you want to do good things, you must first find the right person, and the question of the candidate is quite a lot of Xu Ming's thinking, this person must have a flexible mind, but also have a strong spirit of sacrifice and courage.

The office of the division headquarters is simple and simple, Xu Ming is reviewing the documents, and there are two officers sitting on the ordinary sofa in front of him, it is Leng Guangqian, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 643rd Regiment, and Liu Junsheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 641st Regiment.

Xu Ming put down the pen in his hand, walked up to them and sat down, "You guys think about it, I will never force this kind of thing, if you feel that you are not suitable for external guerrilla warfare, you can bring it up." Xu Ming just briefly said the main points of the sniper battle, and said in a consultative tone.

"I'm willing to go, don't worry, leave it to me, I've fought for decades in front of the cold light, and I've experienced any situation, I promise to make the little devil uneasy." Leng Guangqian said without hesitation.

"Master, I, Liu Junsheng, promise to complete the task." Yoo Junsheng's words were short, but equally confident.

Xu Ming looked at the two generals under him, and was very happy in his heart, his troops already had a very strong execution ability, no matter how difficult the task was, they were never afraid.

"Very good, Junsheng, you go out and get busy first, and I'll talk to Camp Commander Leng." Xu Ming thought about it, but still chose Leng Guang Qian, Leng Guang Qian had extremely rich combat experience, Liu Junsheng was too young after all.

"Hikarizen, what do you think is the essence of this tactic?" Xu Ming first asked about his understanding of this tactic.

"Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and take it by surprise; Never love war, fight and run; Harassing day and night, making them sleep badly. "Say your opinion before the cold light.

Xu Ming had already guessed that it was impossible for the thinking before the cold light to be out of this era, and he corrected it with a smile.

"What you said before the light is only part of it, this tactic is different from all the previous tactics. First of all, there should be at least 2 people in the operation, one person to observe, record and respond; Secondly, the attack distance is selected to be 400 meters away, if the terrain is complex, you can consider the indentation distance, but not within 200 meters, remember; You have a formal establishment, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the division, and is under the jurisdiction of the infantry battalion and regiment, but you can choose the opportunity to join the infantry in wartime; The training is arranged by you, and the focus is on camouflage, observation, and shooting, and note that shooting is only ranked third......" Xu Ming didn't care if he could remember it before the cold light, and instilled all the content he had thought in him in one breath.

Leng Guangqian looked at Xu Ming with wide eyes, he thought it was just a one-time task, but he didn't expect Xu Ming to let him enter a completely new field, obviously, this field contains great risks and great success.

"Master, I'll do a good job, I'll go back and make a training plan right away, and then report to you."

Xu Ming smiled with relief, "Very good, Guangqian, remember, you may be making history, creating history in the history of war!" ”

The snipers were carefully selected by Xu Ming from various units, with a total of more than 500 people, belonging to the sniper battalion before the cold light, and the weapons were also 98K of the German army system at that time, and they were equipped with 4x and 8x scopes.

On the movie screen, a column of Japanese soldiers was patrolling leisurely, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and one Japanese soldier fell to the ground at once, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly looked around, but could not find the target to fire.

The camera zooms to a jungle with trees and grass, and there is no vision.

The camera zooms in, and the snipers in front of the cold light and under the auditorium can see clearly that a soldier is covered in green leaves, his face is also painted yellow-green, and his camouflaged rifle is like a branch, pointing at the Japanese patrol.

Then the screen shows large letters: "Camouflage First", and the camera points around the soldier again.

This is not an ordinary movie, this is the sniper teaching film "The Moment of Life and Death" shot by Yuming Company for the troops, which is 3 and a half hours long, including all the contents of sniping.

The sniper training of the 107th Division is in full swing, an inconspicuous field, only a few ridges and weeds half a foot high, a few small trees are not as thick as a person's arm, this place seems to be very difficult to hide people, Xu Ming, Zhang Shaofang, Chen Huizhi and other officers at or above the regimental level are holding binoculars, looking for something around, but a few people have been looking for a long time, and they have not found anything abnormal.

Clapping his hands vigorously in front of the cold light, 500 meters away, more than a dozen clay figures came out of the soil, each of whom was moving except for his eyes and bones, and his whole body was already integrated with the terrain in front of him.

"If I were Japanese, you commanders would have been my victory!" The words before the cold light were full of pride.

The subsequent confrontation exercise between the two sides, the result made Leng Guangqian so happy that even his eyebrows trembled, the exchange rate between snipers and ordinary soldiers reached 1:25, the infantry commander looked at his soldiers as stupid as wood, and was killed by snipers so that he couldn't find the north, just now a platoon of soldiers was stunned by 3 snipers, 2 snipers to be precise, and the other was just an observer, suppressed so much that he couldn't move, and within 5 minutes, he was "dead" a "fine light".

"Isn't there a tactic in the world that can suppress it?" Xie Jinyuan's words spoke out of other people's hearts, such a one-sided situation frightened this group of friends, a few snipers can play the role of a platoon, so why do you need regular troops.

"Of course there is, our infantry's response just now was wrong, after being attacked by a sniper, the soldier must not lie down to find cover and hide, but attack the sniper as soon as possible. Moreover, the sniper has a great weakness, he is afraid of artillery, and in real combat, it is necessary to first lock on the opponent's grenadier personnel and gunners. In the same way, when our troops encounter snipers, the most effective response is a range attack using mortars and grenadiers. Xu Ming explained with a smile.

His words couldn't hide the pride in his heart, after all, it was his own ideas that were put into practice, and his face was also bright when he achieved results.

"However, I believe that the devil will never be able to come up with the right response right away." Xu Ming pointed to the east with his finger, and his words were full of confidence.
