Chapter 383: Myth Busted (2)
@@@@@
The moment Ouyang Nan jumped into the crater, he felt as if he was being targeted, so he chose to dodge for the time being.
He is only 20 years old this year, but he is already a four-year veteran, at the age of 16, because his family was poor, he went to the Gui army as a soldier, and soon after the Xinhai New Year, Tang Jiyao led his troops into Guangxi and almost destroyed Guilin, fortunately, the national defense army quickly went south, that was the first time he saw what is a real soldier, and met the current 103 Central Guard Division commander Qiu Wenbin in the lead of the attack on Guilin City, and it was also his help that he successfully entered the guard company training camp at that time.
Because Guangxi has a gun god Lu Baiyi, so the Gui army generally has a tradition of practicing marksmanship, he followed the veteran to practice marksmanship when he was a soldier, and was also praised by the point, after arriving in the National Defense Force, the soldier training is not only not limited to bullets, but also has to be strictly assessed, so the practice is more cheerful, and it is precisely because the gun is getting more and more accurate, and life has also taken a 180-degree turn, not only with the same good marksmanship veterans were selected to go to the Sichuan Chasseur Training Camp, Several German instructors specialized in teaching the skills of hunters (snipers were called hunters at that time), and after graduation, they were also selected by the 1st Field Division.
Different from ordinary soldiers, these people are called snipers, this new term was invented by the commander-in-chief, the task is to snipe officers and threatening targets in the war, the 12C rifle in his hand is also very different, after the drawings are provided by the country, it is handed over to Germany to be manufactured, not only equipped with a German 2.5 times scope, the barrel is a little longer than the ordinary model, and two rifling wires have been added to the barrel, so that the shooting accuracy is higher, and the bullet is also designed by the commander-in-chief and handed over to Germany for special customization, in Germany this bullet is called K-type bullet. The shell is pure copper instead of painted steel, and because it has a tungsten core inside, it is heavier than a normal bullet, and it can penetrate three layers of wooden targets within 300 meters in training.
The German instructor liked this bullet very much, and under his recommendation, the German army exchanged a set of equipment for manufacturing this bullet for technology, but the current domestic processing accuracy is not up to the requirements, so it must continue to use expensive German goods.
A whole set of such guns is very expensive. It is said that one can buy a light machine gun. Only a sniper like him can be dispensed. The Chasseur is also a new class of troops in Europe. All countries were exploring how and what to do for the hunters, so after graduating, they each got a sniper manual written by the commander and memorized it and took it back.
He remembered the first sentence of the book, that the value of a sniper's existence is to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost. And that's what he has to do now, to help his comrades break through the Japanese positions. But first, you have to deal with the person who is eyeing you.
So he took out the small mirror from his arms, and then held it up a little bit with the tip of the knife, using the reflection of the lens to see what was going on outside.
The world inside the lenses is chaotic, full of explosions and dead bodies and images of comrades being hit. Fortunately, he had seen something more tragic than this as early as when he was in Guilin, and the huntsman training camp also told him that the more critical the moment, the calmer he should be. So slowly move the mirror from left to right. Hope to find that person.
Hard work pays off. He soon noticed that on the left side of the Japanese position, about 200 meters from the crater, there was a soldier wearing the uniform of the Japanese South Manchurian Railway Escort with the muzzle of his gun pointed at this side (). 200 meters! It means that the rifle in the enemy's hand can also hit him. So some cover has to be done.
So he checked his rifle first, pushed in a K-bullet and took a few deep breaths to get himself in the best condition, and then suddenly raised the mirror and reflected it in the sunlight. Sure enough, Sasaki, who had been paying attention to him, subconsciously closed his eyes after his eyes were stabbed, and took advantage of this opportunity Ouyang Nan immediately raised his gun and put him into the cross star of the scope.
Sasaki would never have thought that the Great War of God, which the whole of Japan was looking forward to, had just begun, and he had just fired three shots at the plane without any effect and said goodbye to this war forever, if he had known it, he might regret why he didn't go back to Japan immediately to study at the Army University to avoid this war.
Syllable!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and the monotonous gunfire did not attract much attention in the explosions, shouts and continuous strafing, but the head of the Japanese soldier aiming at him in the lens has been cut off in half, and the tragic situation of white brains and red blood mixed together frightened several Japanese soldiers next to him to dodge again and again.
This scene made Ouyang Nan hook the corners of his mouth contemptuously, thinking that the Japanese army was really cast of steel and iron, so he would be afraid! The spirit of the Japanese army's invincibility and preferring to be broken rather than broken seems to be just a myth that cannot stand up to scrutiny, but no one has beaten them back to the prototype yet! After the man aiming at him fell, he felt much more relaxed and immediately moved under a pine tree to fire a second shot.
No sooner had a Japanese boy poked his head out than a K-bullet passed through his left eye socket.
In the fierce battle of thousands of people, a sniper hiding in the chaos did not let Takeda Ai notice, and even Fang Wei himself did not realize the role of the sniper, but Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the third battalion of the 442nd Regiment, saw Ouyang Nan's performance, one person and one gun, hiding in the chaos was almost every shot, and in less than a moment, six Japanese soldiers died under his gun, four of them were officers!
After shooting a Japanese soldier who stripped off his shirt and looked extremely fierce in the head, someone in the Japanese position finally realized that something was wrong, because any soldier who raised his head or leaned out of his body would always be mercilessly killed, so he immediately sent people to search for these gunmen.
There were a total of three snipers in the 22nd regiment, and they were quickly locked by the veterans sent by the Japanese army. Tuk-tuk Ha Beggars were not as perverted as Makqin, but they were also the most feared weapon of all infantry, and a barrage of bullets swept over the rocks where he was hiding, exploding countless sparks.
"Be careful."
Just as Ouyang Nan was about to move his position, a cannonball fell from the sky, and he was also hit by a person who rushed up from behind, and rolled several times in a row, and when the two rolled to the pothole, they found that it was a good-looking captain.
"Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 442nd regiment."
"22nd Regiment Ouyang Nan."
Ouyang Nan, who was lying on the ground, couldn't salute, but he was still grateful to Zhang Zizhong for saving his life: "Thank you, Company Commander Zhang, why did you come to the front?" β
"I heard that the Japanese soldiers were very strong, so I came up to see and see." Zhang Zizhong only gave up his pen and joined the Beiyang 20th Division from Rong last year. Before playing the Liso rifle, the 20th Division was organized and merged into the 14th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, and after more than a year of hard training and bandit training, he was promoted all the way from a soldier to a company commander. I was attracted when I saw him like a god just now. Look curiously at his rifle. I heard that his accent was from Guangxi. asked: "Brother has a native of Guangxi, and Lu Baiyi learned marksmanship?" β
Ouyang Nan quickly glanced at the Japanese position, and saw a Japanese soldier poking his head out to observe, and quickly locked: "I practiced it myself." As soon as the words fell, the bullets flew out. Although he missed, he also shattered the shoulder blade of the Japanese soldier.
Zhang Zizhong was secretly speechless, secretly thinking that he would not even know how to die in the face of a few such soldiers, but when he was about to ask again, he heard a shout from the side: "Company commander, the Japanese reserves are up!" β
Faced with three Wehrmacht infantry battalions armed to the teeth, Ai Takeda felt the pressure soar. He found that as long as he was rushed by the Wehrmacht into a distance of 300 meters. Your side will be attacked by overwhelming firepower. Not to mention the large number of light machine guns, the kind of grenadier that one person carries and runs away gives him a headache (). On more than one occasion, several grenadiers have been seen hiding behind cover, firing at their own side from 300 meters away, and then the shells fall accurately into the fortifications and trenches and blow up on their backs.
If the grenadier is a nightmare for the infantry, then the heavy artillery of unknown type on the flanks is simply a nightmare for bunkers, and several civil fortifications have been torn apart by them, and in order to deal with these small guns that can move quickly, their own artillery is already exhausted, and the huge losses make him have to use reserves in advance.
After more than 300 Japanese reserves joined, the crumbling position was finally stabilized, and the Japanese took advantage of the opportunity of the sniper being suppressed, and boldly launched a counter-charge, forcibly pressing back the Wehrmacht who could attack the position.
"Fuck!"
Fang Wei saw that this wave of attacks had blown away, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet fiercely, but he also had to admit in his heart that the tenacity of the Japanese army, if it was placed in the domestic troops, in the face of his own level of firepower, he would have already broken through the position.
"Send three artillery squads to go around from the right and give me concentrated fire to knock out the machine gun fort over there!"
"The 1st Battalion of the 442nd Regiment went to the left, and the retreating troops also made a feint attack on the left flank, concentrating all the grenadiers that could be drawn to the right. Second battalion! After the machine gun fort is knocked out, mortars and grenadiers will open the way for you, and I will rush to the death of this and this! Fang Wei didn't want to give the opponent any respite, so he quickly drew an offensive line on the map, covering it with three infantry battalions and mortars on the front and right hills, putting on a strong offensive posture, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese could not figure out the mortars and numbers, and let a small number of artillery make a detour to launch a second wave of strong attacks.
This is a tactic practiced by the Wehrmacht after the mortars were officially installed, which originated from the Japanese artillery roundabout tactics in World War II that Yang Qiu was familiar with, and it was also one of the most effective mortar tactics that was proven.
The 22nd Regiment, which had not been on the battlefield for several years, was quickly adjusted as planned, and the remaining 5 field guns on the front and 6 120-mm mortars on the hill on the right began to bombard the enemy's right flank, and the three infantry battalions also gritted their teeth again to attack in this direction, and the entire Japanese right flank was repeatedly ravaged by shells and machine guns, and Ai Takeda had to throw most of his reserves into this direction.
The gap exposed on the left flank was quickly seized, and three 80 mm mortars appeared on the left hill without warning, and 90 shells were fired in just five minutes, and the most important machine gun fort of the Japanese army exploded after being filled with several shells in succession (). After the loss of the machine guns, the firepower of the left flank position was greatly reduced, and three mortars and 12 grenadiers were all used to bombard the Japanese positions indiscriminately.
Ai Takeda and his officers were about to burst in their eyes, and they began to wonder if there was a division or a regiment in front of them. 6 cannons were confirmed on the front, and there were at least 6 heavy cannons on the left side of the position, and now there are artillery cannons on the right side! Add to that kind of individual small artillery that can be carried in your hand, and you can face at least 30 cannons of all kinds with one engineer wing! When did the squadron be so luxurious? The total number of artillery of two regiments has already exceeded that of one Japanese wing! And their artillery moves too fast, and a cannon of several hundred kilograms is not so easy even if it is pulled by horses!
"The Chinese are up!"
In the shouts of the officer, Ai Takeda immediately raised his telescope, only to see hundreds of soldiers on the right side of the front of the position who lowered their heads and rushed like hungry wolves, because the machine guns were blown up, and most of the reserves were on the left side, the position quickly fell into panic under the dense artillery attack, seeing this situation, he also couldn't care about it, pulled out his saber and shouted: "Those who can shoot follow me!" β
Dozens of officers and civilians were all concentrated, and even those Manchu ** troops were forced to the front line under the bayonets of the Japanese army, and Takeda Ai brandished his saber and rushed to the front in person, but he didn't know that he had been locked in the center of the crosshair.
Zhang Zizhong's company had all been withdrawn to rest, but he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to see how the Japanese army fought up close, so he kept following Ouyang Nan, and when he saw him staring at a Japanese sabre wielding 300 meters away, he couldn't help muttering: "Brother Ouyang, is it too far?" β
Ouyang Nan didn't answer, and concentrated on following Ai Takeda's figure to find the best opportunity.
Takeda Ai is worthy of being a veteran officer who survived the Russo-Japanese War, and even when fighting, he pays special attention to protecting himself, so the action is always quick and cannot be captured, and several guards are also around the left and right to block the shooting position, Zhang Zizhong secretly thinks that there should be no chance.
But at this moment, Ouyang Nan shot ()!
Zhang Zizhong, who was holding the binocular, almost didn't call out, although that Zhongzuo stopped, but there was a substitute ghost in front of him, isn't this a startling snake? A flash of thought arrived almost at the same time as the bullet, and when he thought that a shot would only startle the snake with the protection of a meat shield, a scene in the lens made his mouth open suddenly.
I saw that the blood on the chest of the soldier who was blocking in front of Nakasa flashed, and before he could fall, the command knife in Nakasa's hand behind him actually fell to the ground, and the Japanese officers around him were even more chaotic and shouted again and again, obviously the bullets pierced the two people at the same time.
How can it be?!
At a distance of 300, it is very difficult for a rifle bullet to penetrate two people, because the trajectory of the bullet will deflect after entering the body, how can it be in a straight line like now? Ouyang Nan hooked the corners of his mouth, did not explain the fact that the K-type bullet could penetrate three layers of wooden boards, and shyly picked up the bullet casing that fell on the ground and stuffed it into his pocket: "Copper, it can be recovered." β
βγβ
Ai Takeda didn't actually die directly, and the K-type bullet was poured into the chest from the left side of the body and drilled a big hole, but it was actually not far from death. Faced with the sudden loss of commander, the Japanese army was also clearly in disarray, and the 2nd Battalion of the 22nd Brigade seized the opportunity to break through the position in one fell swoop, and when several light machine guns began to clear along the trenches under the cover of grenades and grenadiers, the Benxi encounter basically came to an end.
In the evening, the detailed battle report was sent back to the Fengtian command post, Fang Wei led the 22nd Regiment and the 442nd Regiment to take the Benxi Nanfen Coal and Iron Mine at the cost of 411 casualties, and completely annihilated a 16th Division of the Japanese Army, an engineer wing, the South Manchurian Railway Escort and a cavalry battalion of the Manchurian Army, totaling 2,372 people, killing more than 1,300 people, including Uehara Yusaku's proud protΓ©gΓ©, Takeda Ai Nakasa......
