"It's better for the old guy to use it..."

On a position on the outskirts of Pyongyang, he rubbed his hand against a sniper rifle that he hadn't touched for an unknown amount of time, and a sniper said with a nostalgic expression. Chapters are updated the fastest

God knows, during this time, he, a sniper, has been fighting with a Type 38 rifle because he has no ammunition. Of course, this is not to say that the Type 38 rifle is not easy to use, at least in this era, the Type 38 rifle is still very good, and it will never be much weaker than the mainstream rifles of other countries.

In particular, the accuracy of the 38 rifle is even more commendable, of course, it also needs to be mentioned, and the lethality of this rifle ―――――― the lethality of the undead, and it is indeed necessary to complain...

Ahem...

Of course, if it's just like this, forget it, the key is that he has an ordinary Type 38 rifle in his hand, there is no mirror, and with his own eyes alone, he can fight at a distance of two or three hundred meters at most. Although this is quite good compared to ordinary soldiers, it is extremely dangerous when fighting against snipers, after all, the effective range of snipers on the Japanese side is much farther than his.

Later, the mirror on his sniper rifle was removed and installed on the 38 type, although it was far away, but it was not a matching thing after all, and it was always a little inconvenient to use, but there were certain problems with the hit rate...

As a result, when fighting with the snipers of the Japanese army, he, a sniper, suffered a lot of losses, and on several occasions even almost lost his life. Until now, there is even a bullet-grazed scar on his neck ...

But it can't be helped, who told him to run out of ammunition. I had to work with a Japanese rifle. After all, some of the uses are already good, at least they didn't let him hold the bayonet desperately ...

But anyway. He was still extremely happy to be able to use his old buddy again.

Some of the soldiers next to him seemed to feel the same way as him, especially when they touched the full ammunition box next to him, and they had a sense of steadiness in their hearts―――――― God knows, they were all counting some time ago...

"Alright, alright, don't stink there. Hurry up and get ready! ”

Inside the trench, the soldiers were still stroking their equipment that had been useless for a long time, with expressions of love on their faces. A young man who looked like an officer walked over and said in a loud voice.

"The command has just given the order, and the Thirty-Third Army has withdrawn and is now retreating in our direction, chasing at least four Japanese divisions behind their ass. Our mission is simple. It was to cover the safe withdrawal of the 33rd Army into Pyongyang. Keep all these little devils out..."

"Don't worry, company commander...", a soldier laughed loudly as he looked at the young officer. The equipment is all up, and the little devil can't be our opponent at all. As he spoke, he raised the shotgun in his hand, in the combat effectiveness of some time ago, there were at least a dozen Japanese who died under his shotgun, but then there was no ammunition, so he had to fight the Japanese with his rifle. On several occasions I even had to fight with a bayonet, but I didn't die. But it didn't accomplish much. Now that the equipment is back in his hands, the soldier is naturally full of confidence...

As soon as the soldier's words fell, the trench burst into laughter, and it was obvious that the morale was also high. Even if there are a few slightly more stable ones who don't get involved, but when they rub oil on the love gun that has been useless for a long time, the corners of their mouths can't help but show a smile...

When they were almost out of ammunition, they were not afraid of the Japanese, let alone now...

The officer was obviously aware of this, so he just smiled before speaking. "Anyway, it's always good to be careful, remember, don't be careless, this battle is almost at the end, and you haven't died in such a difficult way, it's not worth dying at this time..."

On other base positions, some officers did the same.

Although they did not think very highly of the Japanese, after the order was given, the officers and soldiers in the position were fully prepared.

It was at this time that the 33rd Army finally arrived...

――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's finally here...", looking at a troop at the end of the horizon with a telescope, the officers on the position couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Leaving aside the sequence of the Wehrmacht at the same time, even the blocking mission undertaken by the 33rd Army was enough to make the 17th Army respectful. Therefore, the 17th Army has always been very worried, what to do if the 33rd Army is entangled by the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops pursuing the 33rd Army this time had a full four divisions, and even if there was some attrition in the previous battle, it was definitely much stronger than the 33rd Army in terms of strength.

What's more, the 33rd Army has long run out of ammunition and food, and the situation is very sinister ...

Fortunately, now that the 33rd Army has finally arrived, the 17th Army can also breathe a sigh of relief.

But...

Some things always have to be done...

"Erga, third son..."After sorting out the military uniform on his body, the officer said to the two soldiers next to him. We went out with me, and said the officer to his deputy. "Remember, if it's okay, I'll shoot a flare into the sky, if there isn't one......... In any case, you can't let these people go..."

Although the officers did not think that the troops outside would be disguised by the Japanese, there was nothing wrong with being careful, especially at such a critical juncture.

The officer's deputy apparently understood this as well, so he nodded quickly. "Don't worry, I'll be careful..."

"Hmm!"

Nodding, the officer walked out of the position with two of his men, and then walked briskly towards the 33rd Army, which was retreating this way.

After walking a distance of several hundred meters, they finally met the group at the front of this group of troops...

"You're from the Thirty-Third Army, right?"

Looking at the tired soldiers in front of him, the officer hurriedly said loudly.

Those soldiers felt a little baffled. But he also nodded and admitted, just when the officer wanted to continue to ask, several officers had already greeted him. "We are from the Thirty-Third Army. Who are you? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am." The officer shook his head. "Where's your superior?"

The officers also felt a little strange, but they still pointed to the back. "Our superiors are there!"

Glancing at the position behind him, the officer walked briskly with two of his subordinates...

About a few minutes later, a signal flare was raised from this unit, and at the sight of the flare, all the officers and men on the position breathed a sigh of relief. Because it means that this force is indeed its own, then the rest seems to be much simpler...

More than ten minutes later. A large number of Wehrmacht troops came up from the edge of the position, while the previous officer returned to his post. "Sir, why didn't you let them leave some people behind?"

I saw the 33rd Army that was constantly withdrawing from the side of the position. One of the soldiers wondered.

"Yes, didn't you say that there are four divisions of little devils coming here, if we can leave some people, our hope of holding the position will be much greater..."

Hear those words from earlier. Soon a soldier chimed in.

"That's right. And we have plenty of ammunition on our side, so it's okay for them to stay and help. ”

However, at their words, the officer shook his head. "These soldiers are already very tired, it is too reluctant to let them continue to fight, the 33rd Army has already paid a lot for us, let's let them withdraw to Pyongyang to rest first."

――――――――――――――――――――――

As the officer said, the 33rd Army was indeed extremely tired, especially after such a long period of resistance. The whole army is on the verge of collapse. At this time, it is necessary to remove them and rest and recuperate. After all, no matter how strong an army is, it will be tired, not to mention that they have been fighting under very difficult circumstances all the time.

So far, the 33rd Army, which originally had almost 60,000 men, has now only less than 30,000 people left. The long queue made people even more aware of its previous bitter battle. He was also inexplicably grateful for the sacrifice of the 33rd Army, after all, if it were not for them, the 17th Army would not have had a chance to capture Pyongyang, and would not have had that time to rebuild fortifications on the periphery of Pyongyang.

It can be said that every qiē in front of him was bought by the 33rd Army in exchange for his own life/.

Not long after the 33rd Army withdrew to Pyongyang, a signal suddenly came from the front.

After noticing the signal, the officer's expression suddenly became stern.

"It's finally here..."

――――――――――――――――――――――

The Japanese troops pursuing the 33rd Army finally came, and although this long army was also very tired, with relatively strong morale, it finally persevered here...

At the same time, looking at the several positions in front of them, these Japanese did not talk nonsense, but just pounced directly―――――― since they failed to capture the 33rd Army, they could even solve the 17th Army and the 33rd Army in Pyongyang together, and they could just take back the lost Pyongyang...

After Utsunomiya Taro and others died in an air raid, the command system of the Japanese army was chaotic for a while. After all, whether it is Utsunomiya Taro or someone else, they are all the upper echelons of the North Korean Front, and now their own upper echelons have been given a nest, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no chaos...

However, this confusion was soon restored by the efforts of the local side.

The Japanese offensive immediately put a lot of pressure on the Wehrmacht on the front-line positions. Fortunately, in order to catch up with the 33rd Army as much as possible, the Japanese troops in the front did not carry heavy equipment, not even a 75mm caliber mountain gun or field artillery. The most powerful is just an ordinary mortar.

Although these equipment can also bring some casualties to the Wehrmacht, they can't affect anything at all...

On the other hand, the Japanese troops below the position still regarded this part of the Wehrmacht as the original 33rd Army, so they appeared extremely casual when they launched the offensive. It wasn't until the Wehrmacht on the position began to teach them how to behave with raindrops of grenades and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, that they realized that it was not the 33rd Army that was now stationed on the position. It's the Seventeenth Army, which has just been resupplied and has also taken a break...

Raining grenades, the Japanese soldiers under the bombed position turned on their backs. The machine gunners, who wield light and heavy machine guns, harvested the Japanese soldiers below like wheat.

In the absence of heavy artillery, the machine gun, which has completely shocked the whole world since the First World War, and is known as the most deterrent weapon of the 6th World War, can fully wield the power of its strongest side.

And the mortars of the Japanese and the like. In the case that the firing range is not as far as that of machine guns, it is simply not enough to suppress the power of heavy machine guns―――――― mortars of this era usually have a range of only one kilometer.

The original equipment of the 17th Army was re-equipped. The Japanese troops, who regarded the 17th Army as the original 33rd Army, which had run out of ammunition and food, paid an extremely heavy price when they were defenseless.

By the end of the first day of the offensive, the Japanese had lost almost 300 men in front of just one of these positions. If you count the other positions. The Japanese casualties were almost two thousand...

At least for many. That's a staggering number.

And after understanding that in the absence of artillery, even a pile of human heads may not be able to pile up the opposite positions, the Japanese troops who rushed to the front also decisively suppressed their impulses and quietly waited for the arrival of the follow-up artillery units...

"Now is not the time to waste troops at will..."It is clear whether this game of chess can survive or not, it all depends on whether they can retake Pyongyang, and a few high-ranking generals are quietly waiting in the temporary headquarters...

At the same time, the Japanese fleet once again set up a blockade line on the periphery of the Datong River. Prevent any ships from reaching Pyongyang from the Taedong River. It's just that night is the best helper for the transport fleet. Of course, if you want to transport it through the night, after all, there is still a certain danger. So soon the Navy began to support the war in Korea in another way...

Submarine...

It was once said that after the defeat of Germany, China officially became the world's recognized number one submarine power. If there is no big gap between China and several other mainstream countries in terms of submarine technology, then in terms of scale, China is far behind other countries...

Today, the number of submarines under the command of the National Defense Navy alone has reached the triple digits, making it the largest underwater fleet in the world. And this fleet is precisely one of the reasons why Japan is unwilling to have a full-scale conflict with China.

After all, before there was a proper method for targeting the underwater fleet, this huge underwater fleet could easily block Japan's foreign trade activities―――――― just as the Germans blockaded the British.

Not to mention that Japan simply does not have the shipbuilding capacity of Britain, nor does it have such a strong maritime fleet as Britain. Don't look at the fact that Britain and the United States are now willing to support Japan behind the scenes, after experiencing the First World War, they will never be willing to help Japan with real weapons...

Especially more so on the American side ...

Although the 'people of insight' on the US side have always regarded China as a potential threat, and the threat is even higher than that of Japan, and for this reason, they are constantly trying to find ways to contain China. But this is only a view at the government level, at least at other levels, such as the non-governmental level, the relationship between the United States and China is still relatively close, especially in the economic and trade aspects...

At the same time, Yan Shao also spent no less money to 'curry' favor with the Americans, so that they could maintain a better attitude towards China. In addition, the United States was originally wary of Japan, but now it has suddenly changed its target, which is somewhat unprepared for the Americans.

If the U.S. government does not give the American people a reason to do so, it is impossible for the U.S. government to actually intervene, and Yan Shao, not to mention it in the future, at least at this stage, will never give the U.S. government such an excuse...

――――――――――――――――――――――

The huge submarine force can not only be used to deter other maritime countries, or even carry out war-breaking engagements, but also can be used for another purpose, which is transportation.

During World War II, Japan would often use submarines to deliver some supplies that Germany urgently needed from Germany, and at the same time exchange it for the technology it needed...

Of course, this was also a last resort, after all, at that time Britain and the United States could be said to have an absolute advantage at sea. If the fleet of the Axis powers dared to sail swaggering in the Atlantic or the Pacific, it would definitely be sunk...

The current situation, although it is a little worse, is actually not that big...

The same Japanese navy is stronger than the Chinese navy, and if the transport fleet on the Chinese side wants to figure out the blockade of the Japanese navy, unless it breaks the blockade line of the Japanese navy, this is a very difficult thing to do...

At this time, submarines can come in handy ...

"Hasn't the outside world always said that we are now the number one power in the underwater fleet, since they all say so about us, then let's just show them another way to use submarines..."

At the same time, under Yan Shao's orders, dozens of submarines were also ready to go out at any time to transport the full loads of supplies to Pyongyang. Even though it was their first time on such a mission, they never worried about failure... (To be continued......)
