Chapter 143: Sniper Battle
The Vietnamese army launched several small attacks before dawn.
This kind of offensive is necessary, firstly, to test whether our artillery has shifted its position, and secondly, to prevent us stationed on the 518.6 heights from resting at ease...... It is the continuous battle that can keep the troops under his command excited, and it is very haode to keep the fighting state.
So from time to time, the Vietnamese army sent a small force to disperse and launch a tentative attack on our army under the cover of mortars in the night...... But where will we fall into the Vietnamese army, of course such a small army will not be bombed with artillery when it is scattered, we only need a dozen flares...... Then a machine gun swept them down.
Among them, the most lively one is the Liang Lianbing...... You know, he was originally a sharpshooter, and now he has an SVD sniper rifle, and I am also a battalion commander...... As the so-called tiger descends the mountain and the monkey is called the king, the Liang Lian soldiers are happy, holding a gun with an assistant, according to those who touch the more devils are one by one, and the soldiers under his command are all applauded!
I also had itchy hands when I looked at it, and I couldn't help but take out the sniper rifle that the guards kept and wanted to try my skills, but I was stopped by Zhao Jingping.
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping said: "If the outcome of this battle is decided, then I have no objection to you going up to play, but now it looks like the big battle is imminent...... The whole battalion is waiting for you to command! If you have any three long and two short ...... up here?"
"Alas! It's okay! Zhang Zuoliang responded on the side: "I said Staff Officer Zhao...... Have you ever seen the skills of our battalion commander, if you want to say that there is any more devil who will be our battalion commander's opponent...... I don't believe it if you kill me! ”
"It's okay to go up and fight!" The instructor thought for a moment and said, "The soldiers of the first company...... are all a little frightened, the battalion commander goes up to fight the devils can also make the soldiers grow morale...... Be sure to stay safe, though. Don't hard-top when you feel the danger! ”
Since the instructors have said so. Then Zhao Jingping naturally has nothing to object to.
This is a lot of fun, Xiao Zhang, the guard who has been following me all the time. He had long heard that I was the number one sharpshooter in the second company, but because I had rarely touched a gun since I became the battalion commander, he had never had the opportunity to see my marksmanship.
And I was helpless in my heart...... I used to be free, and I went to the battlefield whenever I wanted to, but now I just want to go up and have a good time, and I have to agree with others.
Besides...... There are actually no safe places on this battlefield, such as this 581.6 highland...... There's really no place that the more devils' shells can't hit. Even if you hide in a cave...... Maybe the more devil's shells smashed a few rounds up, and a few large stones collapsed...... That's the end of the people inside!
However, I can still understand Zhao Jingping's feelings, and I also know that they are actually thinking about me, the battalion commander and the whole of the troops, so I didn't say anything and went up with a gun.
I didn't tell the other soldiers when I went up, and I jumped out of the trench with the guard Xiao Zhang and ran towards a salient on the left...... The salient was diagonally inserted into the flank of the Vietnamese position, and I knew it was a very good sniper point when I first stepped into battle.
I thought to myself as I ran...... During this time, all the energy was spent on the coordinated training of various arms, but the training of snipers was forgotten...... How dare the Yue devil come up and test it by dividing into small forces like this? A few shots can solve them, which can not only save ammunition, but also cause a kind of shock to the psychology of the more devils.
But then again, this sniper is not something that can be trained in a short period of time, and more importantly...... Our army does not yet have sniper rifles. It's not a good idea to use SVD after all...... Because I have been training for a long time, when I go to the battlefield, once the gun is broken, I have no repair or replacement. As a result, he turned into an ordinary sharpshooter.
So...... If you want to popularize the "sniper" thing in the army, you must first solve the problem of equipment.
Thinking about it, I ran to a mound and lay down...... Battlefield experience has taught me that mounds are safer than rocky mounds, because the Viet Naught often uses light mortars to shell positions suspected of having enemy snipers...... If you hide near a rock, it will explode and the rubble will fly, and the stone will bounce off the stone...... That's a big chance of being hit.
On the other hand, if you hide behind a mound, you will not be able to hit the bullets, and the shells will at most cover you with a layer of soil. Of course, if there's gravel in the dirt that can hit you, then it's just a bad thing.
So, what is used for defense on the battlefield is sometimes not the harder the better.
After lying on the mound, I did not immediately aim with my gun, but first looked at the situation with my binoculars......
At this time, the Vietnamese army did not mean to charge at the position of our army, but was compressing the space for our army's activities...... As I saw, the Vietnamese detachments were approaching us in an organized way from all directions, and as they advanced forward, they built various fortifications, digging a foxhole in some places, and connecting several foxholes into a trench in others...... In some places, the terrain was used to construct a firepower point......
Their purpose in doing this was obvious, to prepare for tomorrow's general attack, and at the same time, to keep approaching our line of defense.
Obviously, this is a tough one for us...... However, we seem to have nothing to do about this approach of the Vietnamese army.
Let's bomb it with cannonballs...... This should be the most haode choice, anyway, our army has more artillery and more ammunition, and these fortifications will be almost the same if this piece of artillery fire is covered.
But here's the problem...... Our artillery has just shifted its position, and this bombing will have to shift its position again...... After our troops moved to new positions, the Vietnamese troops began to build positions again, so our troops had to bomb again...... More importantly, the Vietnamese army personnel are still very scattered, and the damage to the Vietnamese army caused by artillery bombardment can only be said to be very limited.
So there is only one way, and that is to use machine guns, sniper rifles, and other weapons that can be reached at range......
The problem with this method is that the machine gun is not very accurate, it is used to kill and injure infantry in dense charges, it is fine, a shuttle bullet will always knock down a few in the past, but it is used to kill and injure a single infantryman...... That is, a shuttle of bullets past can only make the target shrink their head.
As for sniper rifles...... There are only two of us in the whole army, one in the hands of the soldiers of Liang Lian and one in my hands!
Then I quickly understood what the Yue devil was going to do...... They're going to fight a sniper war!
You must know that the Vietnamese army is equipped with many more sniper rifles than our army, and there are more snipers...... In addition, the Vietnamese army is very aware of the equipment situation of our army, and knows that most of the firing range of our army's individual weapons is within 400 meters...... Therefore, using snipers to compress our army's defense line and attack the morale of our army is a very good choice.
Then I soon felt strange, since this was the case, the soldiers of the Liang Company were now firing their sniper rifles, and our machine gunners were also firing frequently...... The more devil sniper weishenme doesn't fight back?
After thinking about it, I quickly understood that the Vietnamese army wanted to find out how many sniper rifles our army had or find out the location of our machine guns first, and then solve them in a targeted manner...... The intention is obvious, that is, to kill as many snipers and machine gunners as possible before our army becomes vigilant.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat...... I underestimated the Vietnamese commander a little, I just thought that he was not capable of attacking before dawn, if they let us use a dozen or more sniper rifles to make us dare not even risk our heads, and then use sniper rifles as fire cover...... That sneak attack or strong attack in the dark has become possible!
In this regard, sometimes you really have to go to the front line to see it yourself...... Because only by seeing the real battlefield can we grasp the details of the battlefield and deduce the enemy's true intentions from it, otherwise, I'm afraid that at this time, I'm afraid that the more devils are just attacking tentatively!
"Quick!" At that moment, I didn't dare to hesitate, and ordered Xiao Zhang beside me: "Immediately order the soldiers to stop shooting and pay attention to concealment!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Zhang saw that my expression was solemn, so he didn't dare to ask anything, put away his gun and ran towards the trench in the rear.
But it seems too late...... Because I had faintly seen in the binoculars that several Vietnamese soldiers were raising a "vague" gun behind the bunker...... The reason why it is called "vague" is because the gun is wrapped in dirty rags, so it looks very "blurry" in this night with only a little moonlight.
But I still saw at a glance from its length and its large shape that it was an SVD sniper rifle...... And it's not just a handful......
I couldn't help but secretly say "it's bad" in my heart, and the Vietnamese snipers had already begun to aim...... There are at least a dozen of them, and it seems that they have also divided their labor, "staring" at the firepower points that our army has just exposed.
Without much thought, I raised my sniper rifle and aimed it at a Vietnamese sniper as fast as I could......
"Bang!" As soon as a gunshot rang out, the Vietnamese sniper let out a scream.
This shot was aimed at the upper body exposed under my gun...... I was able to hit him in the head, but I knew it wasn't worth the cost.
A shot in the head can indeed cause a certain psychological shock to the enemy, especially a sniper...... But it will undoubtedly take longer to aim and the probability of hitting will be smaller. What I have to do now is to use the fastest speed to knock out as many Vietnamese snipers as possible who are exposed in front of me, and only in this way can we reduce the casualties of our army.
So I'm aiming for the biggest area, and I just want to hit it, because no matter where it hits...... Sniper rifle bullets render it incapacitated. (To be continued......)
