Chapter 177: Ace Shooter

Even the devil has always been confident in the quality of individual soldiers, Yang Botao's regiment is not left behind, Hu Lian still takes good care of Yang Botao's old subordinates, although the position is not easy to promote casually, but when the soldiers are replenished after the war, the 2nd regiment can always be divided into more good soldiers and even restored veterans, plus Yang Botao promoted his old 6th company's tradition of attaching great importance to training to the whole regiment, so the military quality of the 2nd regiment has improved rapidly, and it is not only unique in the 94th Division, but even in the entire 15th Army, The quality of the soldiers of this regiment is also among the best, especially the proportion of sharpshooters is the highest in the whole army, and even the cooks have produced special marksmen, even compared with the 6th Division, which is a first-class permanent division of the Japanese army, it is not inferior, and may even have a slight upper hand. Therefore, it was natural that the whole army of the devil brigade lost its mind and charged back, and it was beaten back without even touching the edge of the position of the 2nd regiment

As a result, the Devil Infantry Brigade retreated to count and found that the number of casualties exceeded 800, it can be said that this brigade has been disabled, plus the losses suffered by the 6th Division in the previous shelling, the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army almost just started the battle and the strength of a brigade lost its combat effectiveness, how can Gu Shoufu swallow this bad breath? Considering that the position of Yang Botao's regiment is relatively compact (it is obvious that it is bullying the 6th Division without heavy artillery), and the firepower is extremely dense, if too many troops are invested in the front, it is equivalent to being sent to the target as a target, so Gu Shoufu once again played the outflanking detour that the Japanese army is good at. Although due to the topography. It is impossible for Tani to hide from the enemy, but Tani is convinced that this tactic is unsolvable for the squadron, and even if the other party knows in advance, it will not be able to crack it

"Outflanking the two wings?". Yang Botao sneered, disappreciatively, his ability in civil engineering operations was personally taught by the division commander, and even the army commander praised him by name, there is no relatively weak flank at all, and the basic ring fortifications can not only effectively give fire support, but also quickly deploy troops through communication trenches, and now the more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the 2nd Regiment have almost no losses. There are more solid and well-established field fortifications to rely on, and the so-called flank outflanking of the devils will only lose faster than the previous battle because of the dispersion of troops

Yang Botao crouched behind the bunker and pulled the trigger after adjusting the Type 24 semi-automatic rifle in his hand slightly, only to hear a "bang", and an extra eye suddenly appeared on the steel helmet of a certain devil more than 400 meters away. A mixture of red and white dirty liquid immediately spewed out and splashed directly on the face of a certain devil who was relatively close, even if that guy was also experienced in a hundred battles, he was frightened for a while, what a "one-shot headshot"!

The sound of a gun is an order. The regiment commander's shot was fired, and the sharpshooters of the 2nd Regiment immediately followed suit, and the high precision and high rate of fire of the Type 24 semi-automatic rifle were brought into full play by them, but it took only a few seconds. Hundreds of people fell in the devil's array. Speaking of which, the devil is too big, in their impression. The Chinese rarely threatened them with their marksmanship from a distance of 400 meters, and this time they deliberately spread out the formation to weaken the lethality of the grenadiers (so Yang Botao did not let the grenadiers fire). So as not to waste ammunition. Thinking that they were safer, they unconsciously straightened up in an attempt to rush forward as soon as possible, but the commanders and fighters of Yang Botao's regiment found an opportunity to kill the enemy in advance

"Commander, you're already an ace shooter, right?" A few meters to the left of Yang Botao, a veteran asked Yang Botao while skillfully replacing the magazine of the gun in his hand that had been depleted of bullets. The "ace shooter" he mentioned in his mouth was a new honorary title that Hu Weidong specially suggested to the Central Military Commission before the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in North China in order to encourage his subordinates to train hard and fight bravely, requiring them to pass the assessment of the special marksman and kill a sufficient number of enemies in actual combat to obtain it, thus setting off a great training upsurge that swept the 15 th Army and even all units of the Red Party.

"One is missing, it's enough!" , Yang Botao raised his gun and knocked down a devil again, and replied casually. In fact, he is too modest, according to the standard set by Hu Weidong, if it is a field unit of a permanent division to fight devils, a rifleman who has passed the special marksman assessment only needs to kill and wound 10 devils to be rated as an "ace shooter", Yang Botao reached the standard as early as during the Anti-Japanese War in North China, but Yang Botao, who is strict with himself, requires himself to be a machine gunner, that is, to kill and wound 30 devils, although he uses a rifle far more than when he uses a machine gun (Note 1).

Received accurate and fierce fire from the sharpshooters of the 2nd regiment, even as the elite of the Japanese army, the main attack force of the 6th Division was still bruised for a while. But even with a machine gun pointing behind them, these devils did not rush forward regardless of their lives, but all of them lay down and fired at the sharpshooters of the 2nd regiment, and the grenadier that the devils had always preferred seemed to have been forgotten and no one used it at all. In fact, it is not difficult to explain that in such an open terrain, as long as the devil raises his head slightly, he may be headshot by the sharpshooters of the 2nd regiment, and it is not easy to operate a grenadier that does not even have rifling and crosshairs to accurately hit the enemy covered by fortifications? What's more, the reason why the hundreds of grenadiers of Yang Botao's regiment are not used now is because the scattered devil infantry is not worth using grenadiers, and one shot will kill at most, and it may not be able to hit, and it may not be able to kill if it hits, on average, I am afraid that only six or seven rounds will not kill a devil, which is too wasteful of ammunition, but if the devils are not afraid of death and get up to fight the grenadiers, doesn't it give the 2 regiments of grenadiers a reason to shoot? Maybe the devil soldiers can't think of it so deeply, but just like when the enemy's artillery fire is superior, our army will generally use it cautiously even if it has artillery, so as not to expose the target, in the face of Yang Botao's regiment, which has a larger number of grenadiers, "Before the enemy fights, we can't fight, so as not to expose the target." It became a natural idea for the devils

Note 1: Due to the high mortality rate of machine gunners, Hu Weidong did not allow cadres above the battalion level to operate machine guns in principle, so as to avoid the premature death of these future generals, but it is still okay to occasionally grab a machine gun and fire a few times in wartime, especially when there is a fire vacuum due to the casualties of machine gunners (to be continued).
