The Fifth Night: The Four Elements of God Sniper (1)

"Wake up, brethren! The dog said that he was attacking again. Before the division seat gives the order to retreat, we must defend the four elements of the warehouse! It was not so much that Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei were woken up by this sound, but by the fierce gunshots.

Heading into the fifth night of the week, they are greeted with another dream of war in hot weapons. As for which battle this four-line warehouse belonged to, Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei were not clear for a while.

At this time, Zhang Wei picked up a rifle in his hand, looked at the rifling in the barrel over and over again, opened the magazine to look at the bullet, and finally came to a conclusion, "This is a formal rifle based on the German Kar.98B carbine, using 7.92mm bullets." Look, we're joining the [***] era of the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"Well, I can see that too." Huang Zhi nodded in agreement.

Zhang Wei looked at him in disbelief, "How is it possible?" Do you recognise this antique? ”

Huang Zhi smiled, "I don't recognize this antique rifle, but I recognize our military uniform." He pointed to Zhang Wei's head, where a blue sky white badge hat was shining.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and a ray of morning sun was thrown into this Siping warehouse from behind, and the military uniforms on the two of them were slightly thin in the autumn wind. At the urging of the commander, the two quickly ran towards the window, the windowsill was riddled with bullets, and a [***] soldier had been shot, but his life was not in danger for the time being.

Under Zhang Wei's guidance, Huang Zhi, who had E-rank firearms skills, quickly mastered the use of the Chinese rifle. While he was still feeling the firing error caused by the recoil of the rifle, his special forces brother had completed the ballistic correction, pouring his bullets downwards one after another.

Before Huang Zhi could figure out what was going on, Zhang Wei had already snatched his rifle away, "You better save it, just concentrate on helping me load the bullet." ”

Huang Zhi touched his head, and in the face of hot weapons, he couldn't catch up with this brother who had been a soldier for nine years. So obediently pulled the ammunition box on the side and resigned himself to helping the other party load the bullet.

"Another one! Brother, you're so accurate! There was an exclamation from the windowsill next door, and it was obvious that Zhang Wei's shooting accuracy had been astonished.

After each crisp gunshot, a soldier fell, and the rhythmic shooting showed the quality of the gunner, so at the same time, Zhang Wei was also noticed by the enemy, and a machine gun aimed its fire at this window and fired suppressively. It's a pity that the army can only recognize the window and not the person, and after Zhang Wei transferred the position, they lost their goal.

The head of the group, Xie Jinyuan, soon discovered the pair, to be exact, he discovered Zhang Wei, and Huang Zhi relied on "social" skills to hook up with him to be "discovered". Knowing Zhang Wei's shooting ability, Xie Jinyuan arranged for him to have an additional deputy to reload, because Huang Zhi couldn't feed him alone.

With someone to help, Huang Zhi slowed down even more, and he needed to find time to ask the head of the regiment for information. Through small talk, I learned that it was October 27, 1937, and the Battle of Songhu was nearing the end, and most of [***] had retreated. In the whole of Shanghai, only the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the Third War Zone was left guarding the Siping warehouse.

These four lines of warehouse is actually a vault, which is shared by four banks in Shanghai, so it is called the four lines warehouse, and was later used by the 88th Division as a division headquarters. Sixing Warehouse is located in Zhabei District, with Suzhou Creek in the east and across the river from the British and American concessions, so the army did not dare to use heavy weapons to attack at will, which is good news.

There are more than 400 defenders in the Sixing warehouse, and the number of people in a regiment is not even enough, but the regiment commander Xie Jinyuan is known as "800 heroes". At this time, the eight hundred heroes had easily repelled the first wave of attacks of the Yue army, and at least half of the several enemy corpses left in front of the warehouse were Zhang Wei's credit.

According to Zhang Wei, the weapons of this era are still a little worse, and the accuracy of the Kar.98B short rifle is really enough. If he casually changed to a better gun, even if it was the Type 38 in the hands of Yue Jun, he could kill twice as much. But even so, the Yue army who was hit by him was still in the double digits, and he was humming non-stop on the stretcher in the field hospital at this time.

After the first wave of the army was defeated, tanks were arranged to attack the fortifications, and each tank was followed by several infantrymen. For the thick-skinned four-row warehouse, the tanks of this era were not terrible, but the terrible thing was the infantry that followed them, once they were allowed to get close to the bottom of the warehouse, it would bring great trouble.

Xie Jinyuan asked Zhang Wei to take Huang Zhi to the top floor of the Sixing warehouse, from where he could hit the infantry hiding behind the tank. The four-line warehouse, with six floors and twenty-five meters high, is condescending, and it is possible to clearly see every enemy soldier behind the tank.

However, Zhang Wei was once again annoyed by the broken rifle, because the distance was pulled farther, the barrel length of only 600mm of the medium and formal short rifle could ensure that the effective range of accurate shooting was only a pitiful 100 meters, and the bullet he fired ran uncontrollably after exceeding this distance, and he could not even find the pattern.

While asking Huang Zhi to go down to find someone to get a good gun, he was as blind as a gamble, and finally let him hit a few more. This is already the best result of all the upper top sniper enemies.

Huang Zhi came back from a big circle and shook his head at Zhang Wei, "Brother, the standard configuration of the 524 regiment is a medium and formal short rifle, and I can't find a better one." It's good that Xie Jinyuan has a pistol, do you want it? ”

For him, a gun-blind brother, Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat, "The range of the pistol is not as good as this...... I'm going to use it anyway. ”

Although the weapon was not good, Zhang Wei still used his superb marksmanship to suppress the infantry of the Yue Army. It's not that he really has such a talent for sniping, it's that the [***] soldiers of this era don't shoot as many bullets in a day before they go into battle. However, in this way, among the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse, he was already a sniper second to none, and he was regarded as a treasure by Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan.

As the tanks approached, the infantry had approached the effective range of the medium and formal short rifles that could shoot accurately, and Zhang Wei showed his might one by one. In this way, the army could not bear such losses and had to retreat again.

At this moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from overhead. This voice is also familiar to Huang Zhi, but he can't remember it for a while. Zhang Wei was different, he immediately pulled Huang Zhi into the stairwell, and shouted at the same time, "Mortar shelling, everyone pay attention to concealment!" ”

Mortars are the only artillery that the army dares to use, and the lethality of people is okay, but not for buildings. Huang Zhi is clear about this point, but he is also a "World War II veteran" who experienced the Normandy landing, and he is better than "Xinding" Zhang Wei.

And Zhang Wei is also quite angry at Huang Zhida's self-proclaimed "World War II veteran", and has always wanted to find an opportunity to hit him well. At this time, when they arrived at the Sixing warehouse, the two compared each other with real money, and immediately made Huang Zhi, a fake "veteran" who had not fired a single shot on the beaches of Utah, in Normandy, show his original form and be reduced to a deputy.

After a mortar shelling, the snipers on the top floor had to retreat to the lower floor. Due to the limitation of the windows, there were shooting dead ends. At this time, Huang Zhi had been reduced to a servant for communication between Zhang Wei and Xie Jinyuan, and at Zhang Wei's request, he went to report the situation.

Xie Jinyuan was also very worried when he got the news, and said that the army would inevitably find the problem of shooting dead ends, and once it was used, it would be very unfavorable to the garrison of the Sixing Warehouse. After thinking about it again, he decided to arrange a death squad to get out of the warehouse and ambush outside. Although there is a risk of a large number of casualties, it is better than the loss of the entire Sixing warehouse.

The death squad was dispatched around noon, while both sides were having lunch, so they were not detected. Of course, Zhang Wei's treasure will not be a member of the death squad, and there is no need to risk even taking Huang Zhi with him. They were behind a window on the fifth floor, ready to cooperate with the death squad to give the Yue army a severe blow.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, reinforcements came from the army, and the strength was greatly strengthened, so it was decided to launch another strong attack. They didn't know that the 524th Regiment was ready, and hundreds of soldiers had stepped into this trap. Xie Jinyuan put the army at a distance of less than fifty meters from the warehouse, which is the most suitable range for medium and short rifles, before giving the order to fire.

The death squad outside the warehouse and the defenders inside the building were intertwined, and the army was caught off guard. After two hours of fierce fighting, more than 100 people were killed and countless were wounded. Huang Zhi couldn't help but make a move, and finally hit a few, which can be regarded as a real veteran.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Japanese army, the death squads, which had run out of ammunition, hurriedly withdrew. Dozens of soldiers of the Yue Army thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and followed the death squad to try to touch in, and the end was nothing more than dead and wounded, which may be the funniest scene today.

After a day of fighting, both sides were exhausted. The defenders of the Sixing Warehouse counted the casualties, and there was not even a single seriously wounded, only a few lightly wounded. In the open space in front of the warehouse, more than 200 corpses of the Yue army lay there horizontally, leaving the first victory for the Songhu Campaign, which was close to a dismal end.
