Chapter 111: Sniper Battle
This night, Huang Taiji was destined to lose sleep, and waited patiently for so long, but he didn't get anything, and he also lost a fierce general and nearly 4,000 people, and the business was a big loss.
Although the soldiers took Hongshankou without blood, Hongshankou is only a small military fortress, which is full of soldiers and their families, and there are few ordinary people.
According to the intelligence transmitted back by several secret spies, the Ming army troops that reinforced Daankou were called the Shenji Battalion, the commander Li Xin, a young literati general who had never been on the battlefield, and the Phoenix Legion was reinforcing Longjing Pass, the commander was a charming and heroic beauty, named Lu Hongniang, it is said that she was still the favorite concubine of the Great Tomorrow, and the wolf battalion that ambushed Fan Wencheng's department outside Hongshankou was called Cao Bianjiao, the nephew of Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer of Guangping.
Huang Taiji is no stranger to the uncle and nephew of the Cao family, the uncle and nephew have fought several times in Liaodong, Cao Wenzhao dares to lead the army and Dajin field battle, is a rare brave general in the Ming army, Cao Bianjiao is a young man in the army, born with divine power, bravely crowning the three armies, over time, will also be a brave general.
These three armies are all the pro-army of the Great Tomorrow, the Shenji Battalion is an old battalion, equipped with muskets and artillery, the pre-Ming Dynasty was famous, and the military achievements are outstanding, and now it seems that the combat power is still maintained at a certain level, which should not be underestimated.
The Wolf Battalion and the Phoenix Legion were newly formed units just the year before last, and they were obviously modeled after the equipment of the Shenji Battalion, all of which were muskets and artillery. Of course, these three pro-armies of the Son of Heaven rely on intensive firepower, and the real combat power has yet to be verified.
"Phoenix Legion, Coach Lu Hongniang, the favorite concubine of the Great Tomorrow, it's a little interesting."
Huang Taiji muttered to himself, with a playful smile on his face, since the strategic operation of invading the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and attacking Shanhaiguan failed, he could see it, it was a big deal that this year's winter was a little harder, and he could find another way in the coming year, but Lu Hongniang's status as the imperial concubine aroused his curiosity and great interest, maybe maybe he could make something about her?
The sky was still gray and did not shine, the gate of the Hongshankou fortress quietly opened, and a large number of Jin army scouts came out like ghosts at night, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
After about half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, but the vision between the mountains and forests was still a little blurred, and a small team of Jin army scouts cautiously touched the big camp of the wolf camp.
Bang, a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out, piercing the silent dawn.
"Ah......h
The scouts fell headlong into the grass and let out a terrible howl of pain, startling the other scouts as well, instinctively retreating behind the trees and poking out half of their heads to observe the attackers' position.
A scout ran to his wounded companion and reached out to drag him behind a tree, when he heard a bang, a bloody burst of blood, and the scout couldn't even scream, he fell headlong, half of his cheek was smashed by a buckshot, and the technical term is called a headshot.
A scout hiding behind a tree took off his riding bow, buckled his arrow, then inhaled, swooped out, raised his bow and aimed in the direction of the smoke, quickly releasing the arrow.
Bang –
Almost at the same time, before the scout could hide behind the tree, he heard the crisp sound of gunfire in his ears, and at the same time felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, and the boundless waves of pain quickly spread throughout his body, making him can't help but let out a terrible howl of pain, and his strong body fell to the sky.
The remaining two scouts hiding behind the tree looked at each other, and without even seeing the enemy, they lost three comrades who had a lifelong friendship.
Both of them have the same mind, first hide and do not move, depending on the situation, if the Ming army searches, they will take the opportunity to sneak attack and kill them, and avenge the dead brother.
As the minutes passed, there was silence in the woods, as if no one existed, and I don't know how long it had been, and the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds sounded in the forest.
The enemy must have left, right?
The two scouts exchanged glances, their bodies still pressed against the tree, motionless, as if they were one with the tree.
After another long time, the two scouts exchanged glances again, and then they cautiously poked their heads out, examined them carefully, and confirmed that no one was there, before they dared to come out from behind the tree.
Bang –
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out again, and there was only one sound, but there were two choking puffs of gunpowder smoke coming out of the dense grass in two places, and the two scouts were still thinking about the same question in their minds when they fell, I heard insects and birds chirping, why are people still there?
Two bushes of dense grass suddenly opened, and two snipers with rear-loading rifles stood up, they were draped with a camouflage net with tree branches, and they also wore tree hats made of tree branches on their heads.
"I'm sorry, play patience with my grandfather, look for death, don't I know that my grandfather has been hiding in the grave for three days and two nights and has not been found? Hey. ”
The thin and short sniper had a disdainful expression, more of a sneer, during the training and assessment, in order to get a reward of one hundred taels of silver, he hid in the grave alone for three days and two nights, and the searcher walked by his side several times without noticing, so he won the first place in the camouflage and latent subject, and also received a reward of one hundred taels of silver, which made his companions envious and jealous.
The sniper of the hunter battalion is the baby bump in Zhu Jian's heart, in order to train a group of snipers with modern special sniper awareness, he really made a bloody investment, and the snipers who hit every shot are fed with bullets, he gritted his teeth and tears, and fed these snipers with bullets, while teaching modern knowledge such as camouflage and lurking.
He has never eaten pork, but he has also seen pig runs, he has seen some military dramas with special forces, snipers special training methods, some wonderful sniper plots, he came out of the copycat, sorted out into the "Sniper Training Manual", so that all snipers in the hunter battalion study seriously.
In order to stimulate the snipers' life-threatening training, he also held some competitions such as shooting and camouflage from time to time, using silver to stimulate them and build them into sharpshooters who have mastered modern special warfare.
Because snipers are too expensive, under normal circumstances, Zhu Jian does not allow snipers to act alone, at least two or three people do a group, cooperate with each other to cover, and each person is assigned an auxiliary soldier with a bag to ensure safety.
No need for sniper orders, the auxiliaries hiding in the grass in another place collect the spoils of war, pick up the weapons and armor cleanly, and finally have to pick up the most important one, the method of testing the merits in these years is simple and rude, that is, hand over the enemy's head and prove their own combat exploits, and the two auxiliaries also have to chop off the enemy's head with a sword and go back to invite merit.
