Chapter 269: Sniper
Although the formation of dozens of devils is very scattered, a shell may only blow up one devil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, 30 shells could still kill and wound 30 or 40 devil soldiers.
Therefore, after the artillery raid was over, there were less than 30 devil soldiers who could still move in front of the formation.
This amount of troops, plus the casualties that may be incurred in the next attack.
Even if there are still people who can fight into the mountainside position, they will be wiped out by the six regiments defending the mountainside at the first time.
Therefore, the devil who was still alive led the squadron leader to give the order to retreat very rationally.
However, even so, in the retreat, they still paid more than a dozen casualties. In the end, the ghost soldiers who successfully withdrew from the battlefield were not even twenty people.
One squadron was almost completely wiped out.
Faced with this result, the head of the Devil Division not only did not show the slightest dissatisfaction and anger on his face, but a smile flashed on his face.
The commander of the Devil Division, who witnessed the entire battle process, was sure that although he had lost a squadron, the losses of the Liaodong Army were definitely above him.
If nothing else, an infantry regiment of the Liaodong Army has been disabled by one of its own squadrons. More importantly, for the sake of an infantry squadron that he had just sent out, the Liaodong Army once again lost a mountain artillery company.
If the battle continues to be fought according to this kind of results and attrition, with the limited strength of the Liaodong Army, he can consume at most two more infantry brigades, and he can wipe out all the main forces of the Liaodong Army here and completely cripple the Liaodong Army.
As a result, the artillery attack of the field artillery wing on the position of the Liaodong Army on the mountainside had not yet ended, and the commander of the devil division blurted out an order.
"Chief of Staff, after the shelling is over, continue to attack according to the tactics just now......"
"Hey......" said the chief of staff with a thoughtful face.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Liaodong Army was not ordinarily depressing.
Just now, Chief of Staff Sun Liechen had just told the story of the losses of the Sixth Regiment.
In order to block an infantry squadron of the devils, a newly formed regiment directly killed 391 people and seriously wounded 95 people, with an astonishing casualty ratio of 1 to 3. What's more. Only one of the six mountain guns of the mountain artillery company survived and was not destroyed by the retaliatory fire of the devils.
Faced with this result, Yang Xingguo was both worried and afraid.
If you don't have a solution to deal with the devil's tactical tactics, the devil only needs to come back to these few more rounds of attacks. The limited strength of the Liaodong Army will be exhausted by the devils.
Therefore, from the moment he received the battle report, Yang Xingguo had a gloomy face, fell into deep thought, and did not say a word for a long time.
That's when it happened. Chief of Staff Sun Liechen's exclamation suddenly sounded in the command headquarters.
"Commander, the devil's attack has started again, and it's still an infantry squadron......"
For a while, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the command headquarters seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time focused on Yang Xingguo.
Yang Xingguo did not disappoint everyone, nor did he make everyone wait too long.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered with a murderous face: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I don't believe that there is no need for artillery." We can't even pack up a squadron of devils with a new formation......"
"Call me Zhang Shanlin from the special operations detachment immediately......
In less than two minutes, Zhang Shanlin, who had been on standby, rushed into the headquarters and looked at Yang Xingguo with a hot face.
"Commander, Zhang Shanlin of the special operations detachment is here to report, is there a task for my special operations detachment......
"Although the special operations detachment is not yet fully staffed, there are only more than 400 people. However, there is still no problem in performing general tasks, please give the command an order......"
Yang Xingguo shook his head and asked, "Zhang Shanlin, the entire detachment, how many snipers I once told you now......
"Thirty-two. Targets within 150 meters are guaranteed to hit every shot...... Among them, there are 12 brothers, and the target of 250 meters can be achieved in 100 shots......" Zhang Shanlin quickly replied.
"More than thirty snipers, it's enough...... Yang Xingguo said with a satisfied face......
After it's over. Directly ordered Zhang Shanlin: "See the devil soldiers of that squadron on the battlefield, immediately divide your snipers into two, first send half of the men to reinforce the eighth regiment, and repel the devil's attack......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's words suddenly changed and continued: "But. There is one thing you have to keep in mind...... Throughout the battle, your sniper must grasp the rhythm of sniping devils, and don't let the commander of the devil division behind find anything unusual......"
"Please rest assured, commander, to ensure that the task is completed ......," Zhang Shanlin said excitedly.
Looking at the back of Zhang Shanlin leaving in a hurry, Yang Xingguo sneered directly: "Little devil, since you want to fight with me, then I will fight with you to see if you have more elites, or if I have more bullets in the hands of snipers in the Liaodong Army." ā
Soon, more than 100 devils rushed into the 150-meter range in front of the formation.
At the moment when several light machine guns and more than 1,000 rifles of the Eighth Regiment of the Liaodong Army opened fire, sixteen snipers also fired their first bullets.
Compared with the previous attack, the devil's losses were directly seven or eight more.
However, this loss did not attract much attention from the devils.
In the devil's opinion, as long as he counterattacks, the Liaodong Army that blocks him will suffer casualties and chaos.
At that time, he can continue to attack forward, and use the rifle in his hand to teach the Liaodong Army in front of him a good lesson.
Therefore, as soon as the devils counterattacked, the results of the bullets fired by the eight regiments began to become very few.
And at this moment, more than a dozen snipers scattered in the middle of the eighth regiment opened fire.
The crisp sound of gunfire caught no attention from anyone else because it was mixed in with the surrounding chaos of gunfire.
However, for every bullet fired by a dozen snipers, one of the devil soldiers must be shot and fall to the ground, and no matter how dazzling the various tactical actions of this devil soldier are, death cannot be avoided.
However, because the snipers did not shoot together.
And the Eighth Regiment in the defensive position, under the counterattack of the devils, like the Sixth Regiment just now, continued to suffer casualties.
Therefore, the death of these devil soldiers did not attract special attention from other devils.
In this way, time passed little by little, and the devil's attacking troops were getting closer and forward.
In the blink of an eye, the devil who rushed fast had already killed less than fifty meters away from the Eighth Regiment.
At this time, everyone on the battlefield thought that the Liaodong Army would definitely launch an artillery surprise attack on the devils on the position as usual.
However, to the disappointment of the devils, just as they were ready to fall to the ground at any time and avoid the shelling, the artillery raid of the Liaodong Army did not come.
Not only that, but the sound of counterattack gunfire on the position of the Liaodong Army in front of him unexpectedly became more and more intensive.
"What's going on, how can the Liaodong Army in front of them get stronger and stronger, have they been reinforced......" This is an idea that arose in the hearts of the remaining devil soldiers on the battlefield at the same time.
However, no matter what the devils think, the Liaodong Army did not carry out artillery raids on them, which is a good thing in every aspect.
Therefore, they were not attacked by artillery fire, and they subconsciously prepared to continue to attack forward and directly enter the position of the Liaodong Army.
However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.
The remaining devil soldiers on the battlefield desperately rushed to the position of the Liaodong Army, and continued to shoot while rushing.
They suddenly found that there were very few gunshots around them.
When they looked around, a picture appeared that they would never forget.
A squadron of devil soldiers, without being attacked by the artillery of the Liaodong Army, was completely lost, and only a dozen people remained. (To be continued.) )
