Chapter 144: The Spear Captures the Whistle
There is a plateau about 9 miles east of Daijiayuan Heights, called Houyuan (do you think there are too many walls?). No way, the terrain of Shanxi is like this). Although the terrain here is high, the location is somewhat remote, and the mountain barrier cannot pose a threat to the main positions of the 129th Division, so the Japanese army only arranged an observation post to monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army and provide observation data to the artillery.
The area of this crest is large, and there are many directions for observation, but only three sentinels are arranged. Due to the lack of manpower, they used a mobile patrol method, making a circle along the perimeter of the top of the wall every few minutes. Due to the high terrain and wide field of vision, a large area of the surrounding area is under its surveillance.
A platoon of the sniper company assigned to the 331st Regiment was lurking about 500 meters east of the Houyuan Heights. Sniper company commander Wang Dazhui (formerly a platoon commander, and the officer was promoted one level after the expansion of the team) stretched out his right hand and stretched out his thumb, then squinted one eye and said, "Do you see the plaster flag on the top of the wall?" It's 500 meters! Southeasterly wind, wind speed 4m/s. ”
Company Commander Wang uses the jumping eye method for distance measurement, which is fast and does not use any auxiliary tools, but the accuracy is poor, mainly relying on personal experience, and is suitable for all kinds of old birds.
The rookie observer next to him was observing with a telescope and said: "Report to the company commander, according to my estimate, the distance should be between 510 meters and 535 meters, and the wind speed is 3 m/s from left to right, and it is recommended to correct 1.2 dense positions." "Telescopes can also measure distances, and they are more accurate than the eye-skipping method.
As soon as the observer finished speaking, several other observers also reported their observations, but the values were quite different. Everyone felt that their numbers were the most accurate, and they were so anxious that they almost didn't quarrel.
Company Commander Wang reprimanded: "What is the noise? If the devil had a sniper, he would have killed you! ”
At this time, Commander Ma Biao personally rushed over and said, "Company Commander Wang, how is it, are you sure to kill this sentry post?" "The terrain is very high, and no matter which way the large army goes, it will be discovered. If the 331st Regiment wanted to surprise from behind the Japanese army, it had to take out this observation post first. Otherwise, as soon as the action was exposed, the Japanese army would be on guard, and the effect of the attack would be greatly reduced.
Company Commander Wang said: "The wind is a little strong! However, the second class should be fine, and I can also play one. And a devil, which of you has faith? ”
Now the best marksmanship among the snipers is Wang Dazhui and Liu Ertang, and everyone else is a cut worse.
But there were three devils on that sentry post. At a distance of about 500 meters, and a breeze (for a sniper, a breeze is very large), the probability of hitting two enemies in a row is too small, so you have to find a sniper to come out.
The new snipers hesitated, and only three of them raised their hands.
Wang Dazhui said, "Okay, wait a minute, the three of you aim at one at the same time!" The order of shooting is, if the enemy appears in turn, I will come first, then Ertang, and the three of you will fight the last one! If the enemy appears at the same time, I will be on the left, in the middle of Ertang, and you will fight the one on the far right. ”
The snipers all nodded their heads in understanding, and then began to check their guns and bullets. Other snipers help calculate distance and wind speed. Although the data deviation of these rookies is large, it still has a certain reference value when combined. In addition, they have to help observe the enemy's situation so that they don't have an accident or get counterattacked by the enemy.
When everything was ready, everyone waited for the sentry on the top of the wall to come to the east side to inspect it. But left and right, but there was no trace of the three sentinels. Everyone looked at their watches and felt very strange, according to the previous pattern of the sentry's actions, it was long overdue to turn to this side. Later, I learned that the 129th Division learned that the 33rd Division was coming to help, and in order to contain the enemy, it launched several fierce attacks in a row. When the Japanese army could not bear it, they hurriedly asked the observation post on the top of the wall to provide timely data to the artillery so that the artillery could suppress it.
The regimental commander waited for a while, but when he saw that the sentry still hadn't come, he said, "You can't wait any longer, inform the reconnaissance platoon to immediately sneak to the top of the wall!" Fight to eliminate your enemies before they find out! In case the action is exposed, please ask Company Commander Wang to take action! ”
Company Commander Wang said, "Good! As long as the little devil dares to show his head, we guarantee to complete the task! ”
After receiving the order, the reconnaissance platoon of the 331st Regiment quickly moved to the rear heights. This unit was formed by Regiment Commander Ma from the whole regiment and modeled after the model of the division's special service battalion. The commanders and fighters are all veterans, and they all have some martial arts skills, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Commander Ma was willing to use this army to explore the way, which shows that he was determined to take the Houyuan Heights.
The warriors crept cautiously up the hillside, quietly audible to each other's breathing. The three Japanese soldiers on the top of the wall were observing the battle in Changle Village, vigorously issuing flags and signals, not knowing that death was approaching.
So far, the operation has gone well, and the reconnaissance platoon is only 300 meters away from the top of the wall. Captain Ma felt that his palms were full of sweat, so he hurriedly put down the binoculars, wiped them vigorously and continued to observe. The more than 3,000 men of the whole regiment turned their heads to look at the hill in the direction of the headquarters, and if a red flag appeared, it meant that the enemy's outpost had been cleared and they could continue to advance.
Time passed quickly, and the reconnaissance platoon was only two hundred meters away from the top of the wall. The air throughout the sniper position seemed to freeze. The closer the reconnaissance company is to the enemy, the greater the likelihood of exposure. Once exposed, it's their turn to strike.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang on the top of the wall. It turned out that a soldier had accidentally stepped on a rock, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed it with his hand, but the stone had already rolled down the hillside. The stone made a terrible noise as it rolled down. The heavy voice was like knocking on the hearts of the fighters - the action was exposed!
A Japanese soldier heard the sound and hurriedly came to check the situation, and when he looked down, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. Of course, this is also the last scene he has seen in his life. He was thinking about shouting or warning, but suddenly his mind was hot and he didn't know anything.
This shot was fired by Wang Da Hammer, and when he saw that the time had come, he calmly pulled the trigger. With a poof, there was an extra blood hole in the center of the unlucky man's eyebrows, and he fell headlong from the hillside. Due to the addition of a silencing sleeve to the barrel, the other two Japanese soldiers at the sentry post did not hear the gunshot, and thought that their companion had accidentally fallen, so they rushed over to check.
This kind of silencer is made by the arsenal in the base area, which is relatively bulky and has a relatively poor sound attenuation effect, and can only conceal the fire from 300 meters away and the sound from 200 meters away. Close combat is useless, but for a sniper who fires from a distance of four hundred meters, it is undoubtedly very meaningful.
The other two sentries were defenseless, and the moment they arrived, Liu Ertang and the other three snipers pulled the trigger at the same time. Commander Ma saw in the telescope that one of the Japanese soldiers had been shot in the head, and the other was even worse, three shots were shot in the head, and half of his brain was knocked away.
Captain Ma was surprised and delighted, put down the binoculars and said, "Good! Well done, I'll give you credit when I get back! Then he said to the flag commander: "Quickly plant the red flag and inform the companies to move forward according to the predetermined plan!" ”
The trumpeter hurriedly said: "Tuanzao, do you want to blow the trumpet?" ”
Captain Ma waved his hand and said, "No need, let's make a fortune here!" Tell the fighters to fire when you smell the devils! ”
