Chapter 43: Confrontation

It is the nature of many people to be afraid of death, and even the Japanese army, known as the imperial warriors, cannot say that those Japanese soldiers in their own troops are not afraid of death, let alone these imperial troops who have always been regarded as cannon fodder and coolies. Fighting bad battles and bullying the common people, the Imperial Association Army is a good hand, but this is the time of life and death, and the people of the Imperial Association Army, who were beaten by the squadron leader, were panicked, and even their eyes when they peeked at the Japanese changed.

There was a gap between the Imperial Allied Army and the Japanese army, and Tang Lei, who wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters on the periphery, did not know this, seeing that the Japanese puppet army was only bombed but did not mean to attack, Tang Lei and they continued to inform the artillery team of the coordinates through the walkie-talkie, and there was a great momentum of bombing the entire position of the Japanese puppet army. Trenching is a means of defense to hold the battlefield, and the Japanese puppet army under artillery bombardment actually used the crater to dig trenches on the spot, and in the face of death, everyone burst out to their maximum potential. Bayonets, sapper shovels, steel helmets, broken wood, hands, the Japanese puppet army in the smoke of gunpowder used all their means to dig trenches, first digging foxholes, and then opening up similar foxholes, so that there was a rudimentary trench.

"Snipers fire, fire freely" The action of the Japanese puppet army digging trenches was discovered by Tang Lei, once the Japanese puppet army dug the trenches successfully, let alone bullet sniping, even the shells may not be able to hurt them. After resting, the coordinates were constantly reported to the rear artillery team by the foot soldiers around Tang Lei, Tang Lei didn't care that the Japanese puppet army would use those craters, as long as he could create opportunities and provide cover for the sniper to shoot the other party, that is, he would smash all the shells out, and Tang Lei didn't like Lang Fei.

With a bang, another mortar shell hit the position of the Japanese puppet army, and several Imperial Cooperative troops who were digging trenches and had no time to hide screamed and fell out, and at the same time, several soldiers of the Japanese army who were separated by several craters fell to the ground. The Japanese puppet army's position was already full of gunsmoke and the sound of artillery, and it was extremely common for several soldiers to be killed or wounded, so when the casualties were carried down, the people who moved them did not check whether their wounds were caused by shreshrapnel or hit by bullets.

There is no way to crack the thunder for the time being, so I had to order not to go out to fight and dig trenches to stand by, the city gate is wide open Ding'an City gives the ghost near the village a breath similar to death, the descendants of this declining samurai family rely on their keen senses, in the snow fields in the northeast several times to avoid the siege of the Anti-Union, so this time the ghost of the ghost near the country has a bad feeling again, this guy who is eager to make a battle finally chose to hold on, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army from other directions, Unite them to form a flanking attack on Ding'an City.

"Dazuo, the situation is a little wrong" After the shelling, more and more Japanese puppet soldiers were carried to the military doctor for first aid, and the careful military doctor found an abnormality from the wounds on their bodies, "Dazuo, there are more and more casualties after the shelling, it stands to reason that we have begun to dig trenches, but the mortar bombardment will not cause such casualties, but when I checked the wounds, I found that the wounded soldiers were all wounds from shrapnel, while those who died were killed by bullets" The military doctor spread out his palms, There were several deformed warheads in the palm of his hand.

Ghost Shadow Villager picked up a bullet from the military doctor's hand and looked at it carefully for a while, his brows were still wrinkled, "This is a 7.62 caliber bullet, which is different from the caliber of the Imperial rifle, most of the troops in China are equipped with formal rifles and German-made Mauser 98K rifles, their bullet caliber is 7.92, as far as I know, the Thunder troops are equipped with American-made Garand rifles, and their caliber is 7.62"

"Order our artillery, after determining the opponent's artillery position, concentrate fire to knock out their artillery position, the thunderous people are using the sound of shell explosions to cover the sound of their gunfire when shooting, their gunners cover up the periphery of our position, order the machine gunners to pay close attention to the abnormality of the periphery of the position, and find that the situation does not need to be reported and immediately fire" The rich battlefield experience made the ghost and the village quickly make a correct judgment, but he didn't know that as long as his artillery shot, even if he fell into the trap set by Tang Lei.

The thunderous shelling continued, but the purpose of the bombardment had changed from killing and injuring the Japanese puppet army to covering the snipers, and the purpose and intensity of the bombardment had changed, but the Jewish gunners who operated the mortars and grenadiers still changed places, and the Japanese gunners who were strictly ordered to capture the target by the ghost and the countryside were a little difficult to decide. Tang Lei: The more they fought, the more excited they became, as long as the Japanese puppet army hiding in the simple trench dared to expose a certain part of their body, they would become the target of snipers, it didn't matter if they could be killed, as long as they were injured and made them lose the ability to fight.

The explosion sounded non-stop, and more and more Japanese puppet soldiers were injured or killed by guns, but the Japanese gunners who were waiting for the battle had not been able to lock on to the thunderous artillery, and Tang Lei, who was lying on the ground, even thought that he could kill off this group of Japanese puppet soldiers from Wuxiang with only shells and snipers. "The second team immediately retreated, artillery cover" artillery fire combined with the suppression of the snipers made the Japanese puppet army on the position a little crazy, before the artillery did not lock on to the thunderous artillery, the heavy machine guns on the Japanese position were erected, Tang Lei used a walkie-talkie to urgently order the second team of snipers in front of the Japanese heavy machine guns to retreat immediately.

The lurking position of the second team of snipers was quite good, and the snipers who were a little comfortable with the snipers were a little carried away so they did not move their positions according to the sniper's rules, and were finally caught by the Japanese heavy machine guns. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" At the same time as the Japanese heavy machine guns fired, the artillery squad that received the coordinates immediately opened fire to provide cover for the snipers of the second team, and the smoke from the explosion obscured the sight of the Japanese machine gunners, and most of the bullets fired by the heavy machine guns deviated, but fortunately, the snipers of the second team withdrew in time, and the heavy machine gun bullets that hit their position only hit the open space.

"The turtle son's heavy machine gun is really accurate, if the old men retreat slowly, they will be beaten to minced meat" The motor that was forced to withdraw in embarrassment turned around and looked at the lurking place just now in the sniper scope, looking at the lurking place where the blades of grass were flying around, and shouted luck again and again with palpitations. After the chattering motor was applauded by Tang Lei, who came over later, he closed his mouth weakly, knowing that he had violated the sniper rules, he didn't dare to fight against Tang Lei, if this reached the ears of Mr., he would be recalled if he didn't do it, and he would have no chance to fight this little devil again.

The Japanese army dug trenches and couldn't hold out, and the news was quickly passed to Zhao Zhi, more than 2,000 days of puppet troops, relying on snipers alone didn't know when to kill, Zhao Zhi's people would dig anti-artillery holes in the trenches, and the Japanese would too, and if they went on like this, the shells that were hit again would not have any effect in the end. "Contact the troops we put outside, nail them with heavy machine guns, don't they like to shrink in the trenches, then fulfill them, and when it gets dark, let's go touch the camp" Most of the 4,000 Jewish soldiers under Zhao Zhi were placed outside the city by Zhao Zhi, originally to give the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang an iron wall, but now it seems that the siege plan has to be changed a little.

Zhao Zhi's original plan was to use snipers to rub the prestige and sharpness of the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang first, and when the anger of the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang was suppressed to the extreme and launched an attack on Ding'an City, the Jewish troops arranged by Zhao Zhi outside the city would outflank this group of Japanese puppet troops from both wings, and after the trap set by Zhao Zhi outside the city was launched, the Japanese puppet army panicked, and the Jewish troops used their superior firepower to press on it and crush the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang in one fell swoop. The defeat of the Japanese puppet army forced them to retreat, and the Jewish troops arranged on the flanks would get out of the way to the cross slope, and as long as the scattered Japanese puppet army fled to the cross slope, it would be their dead end.

Zhao Zhi's encirclement and annihilation plan was repeatedly demonstrated and formulated by him and his staff officers, but now the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang is not in the trap, and people are simply learning from the turtle to shrink up, let your gun blow up, and people just hide in the trench and don't show their heads. There are not many shells in Zhao Zhi's hands, if he runs out of shells on the Japanese puppet army in Wuxiang, and the Japanese puppet army comes from elsewhere, he will no longer have the long-range firepower that can control the enemy, which will make Zhao Zhi suddenly regret that he didn't bring more long-range heavy firepower when he came out.

After receiving Zhao Zhixin's order, the Jewish soldiers who were ambushed in the surrounding mountains and forests used branches and leaves to disguise themselves simply, and slowly found out that the mountains and forests faintly formed an encirclement against the Japanese puppet army. The place where the ghost and the countryside camped is good, the four sides are not next to the mountain, and even the vegetation on the open ground around the position has already been cleaned up by them, as long as someone dares to approach their position in the ghost and the village, a few hundred meters away, the Japanese puppet army on the position can clearly see the people.

"See that trench? Immediately call the 92nd Infantry Artillery to fire a shell into it, and then use the impact point to correct the coordinates and blow up that section of the trench for me" Bob, the commander of the 3rd Company of the Jewish Army, who was squatting in the mountains and forests and observing the Japanese camp with a telescope, noticed an anomaly, the Japanese camp was full of trenches, and he found that the amount of soil piled up in one of the trenches seemed to be more than the amount of soil in other locations, and according to the amount of excavation, there was probably some secret in that section of the trench that he thought was suspicious.

This group of Japanese puppet troops came from Wuxiang all the way, from Wuxiang to Ding'an on the way are barren and wild, they must be carrying a large amount of ammunition and supplies, Tang Lei's artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, but it has not yet hit a Japanese ammunition storage point, Bob suspects that the very suspicious trench may be the place where the Japanese army temporarily hoarded ammunition.
