Chapter 1020: Shoot at the Sniper!
The plan was good, and, until now, it has basically been according to the plan.
This not only makes everyone more and more confident in the final outcome of the plan, but at the same time, they are also more and more confident in the face of little devils, both in terms of mentality and morale.
Seeing that the little devil reinforcement vanguard had arrived at the fork in the road, everyone was waiting for the little devil to decide what kind of countermeasures to take next, but they never expected that the little devil reinforcement vanguard actually stopped.
To be precise, it was the commanders within the little devil strikers who quarreled.
On the one hand, most of the commanders believed that the snipers and the hunters should continue to be hunted down. The reason is that the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible in the world, but it has been beaten by a group of dirt and a group of earth hunters who can't even use rifles, and if they don't kill all these people, what kind of face will everyone have to call themselves the imperial army? What's more, these local guys, after a successful sneak attack, seem to have tasted the sweetness, and actually adopt the method of blocking and constantly fighting against the imperial army.
On the other side were the Supreme Commander and a few officers of the Devil Reinforcement Vanguard, who thought that no matter how much these Dirt Eight Road and Earth Hunters teased everyone, the main purpose of everyone's visit this time was to support their comrades. If we treat the lives of our comrades-in-arms as nothing for the sake of anger and face, wouldn't it be a mess? What's more, the result of doing so will certainly be severely investigated by the superiors.
The two sides argued, but time passed minute by minute.
As the old saying goes, 10,000 people are crushed to death at the level of officials, and this sentence is vividly reflected in the army, because soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty.
In the end, it was the supreme commander who was annoyed and angry by what he said, and he oppressed people with military rank, and decided in a word: first go to rescue his comrades, and then go back and clean up this gang of dirt roads that have stimulated them like thunder...... From this point of view, this vanguard supreme commander is still relatively mild, which is still relatively rare in the hierarchical Japanese army. Otherwise, how dare a junior officer quarrel with his superiors, and in front of all his subordinates. If you change to a more severe superior, these junior officers would have been slapped a long time ago.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Seeing that the little devil vanguard turned around to go to support, how could the snipers let them leave so easily and shoot immediately.
Immediately, there were more than 20 little devils who were both dead and injured.
And the subordinate commanders who originally had anger in their hearts, but were forced to be aggrieved by the squadron leader's oppression at the military level, were stimulated by this attack like a rooster fighting.
Immediately, I saw several grassroots commanders draw their command knives and rush to another road with their respective teams.
At this time, the squadron leader spoke again, and with a black face, in the most stern tone, ordered everyone to stop.
Seeing the attitude of the squadron leader, who rarely gets angry, the junior commanders had no choice but to hold back the anger in their hearts again.
Then, naturally, it is the organization to fight back.
"Da! da! da......"
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
Because it was impossible to find the exact location of the scattered and hidden snipers for a while, the little devil rifle did not fire, but just searched everywhere and waited.
And the light and heavy machine guns of the little devils fired at the approximate position where the snipers were hiding, and fired at the same time.
This kind of aimless strafing is a matter of luck.
However, this time, the little devils were lucky, and they actually really hit a sniper.
A sniper wanted to snipe a little devil machine gunner, but unfortunately, before he could shoot, he was shot in the head by another little devil machine gunner and died on the spot.
However, his sacrifice also stimulated all snipers.
So, the snipers were furious and took the risk to snipe the little devil machine gunner.
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
"Bang!"
A heavy machine gunner was firing under a large tree, as he felt that there were Eighth Route Army snipers there. However, he did not expect that just as he was strafing, a bullet came from another direction and hit him directly in the temple.
The heavy machine gun stopped abruptly.
However, he was succeeded by the secondary shooter next to him.
Moreover, the muzzle of the heavy machine gun was directly reversed and fired in the direction of the sniper who had just shot the main gunner.
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
"Bang!"
Under this guy's strafing, none of them finished fighting, but from the direction of the previous machine gunner's strafing, a gunshot rang out, and the machine gunner, who had just entered the battle, tilted his head and fell directly backwards...... From this point of view, the previous host gunner's feeling was relatively accurate, but he was mistaken about accuracy. Because the sniper was not hiding under a tree, but behind a pile of weeds five or six meters to the left of the tree.
The sniper is the heavier's nemesis, there's no doubt about it: don't look at the machine gunner's strafing, it's spectacular, and on the battlefield, the heavy is also the main firepower. However, the sniper is like a moment hidden in the dark, relying on the accuracy and concealment of marksmanship, as well as suddenness, it can definitely restrain the machine gunner to death.
However, don't forget, but when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can cause a qualitative change.
Here, in addition to the machine gunner, there are many rifles on standby, and as long as they find the exact location of the sniper, then at least half the chance that the sniper will be declared dead.
It's as if right now, a sniper has just sniped a light machine gunner, and is about to grab the gun and step back, and then move to the next place that has long been favored, and continue to snipe the little devil machine gunner. However, before he could act, he saw waves of bullets coming at him.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Although the place where he was basically at the same level as the little devil's line of sight, and there was a pile of weeds in front of him as cover, the weeds were not dirt after all, and they could not withstand the penetrating force of the bullets.
And when this sniper shot a little devil machine gunner just now, the sparks coming out of the muzzle of the gun had already revealed his hidden exact location, so that many little devils who had long been impatient immediately shot at the place where he was.
In a burst of bullets, the sniper was shot three times in the body and was killed on the spot.
This kind of fighting and fighting will not come to an end until the arrival of the main reinforcements of the little devils.
Killed sixteen little devil machine gunners, almost half of the machine gunners of this squadron were scrapped. Of course, referring to the real machine gunner, and not to the temporary replacement. He also killed two little devil officers and seriously injured a little devil officer. At the same time, kill twenty-eight little devils.
And the snipers, on their part, also paid the price of five dead and two wounded.
In terms of casualty rate, the sniper's side is definitely a big victory, but, in terms of value, the two sides are about the same. Because, ordinary classes can be replenished quickly, while snipers need to pay attention to talent.
Whether it was the previous Red Army or the current Eighth Route Army, poverty has always been the biggest difficulty of the Eighth Route Army, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, the battalion itself does not have the ability to produce weapons and ammunition, and all weapons are captured from the enemy, which also determines that from the Red Army to the current Eighth Route Army, along the way, everyone has to find ways to equip themselves and strive to improve their combat effectiveness.
And because the sniper has a small investment, but the results are bound to be large, so it has always been valued by everyone.
From the assault company to the current assault regiment, the selection and training of snipers has never stopped, but after two years of reserves, the assault regiment, which is as rich as a big landlord in front of the ordinary Eighth Route Army team, and even dares to shout for an artillery battle with the little devils in terms of weapons and equipment, has only 36 snipers. It can be seen how difficult it is to become a sniper, and it is needless to say how difficult it is to become a good sniper.
These carefully selected sharpshooters are trained as snipers and have always been the focus of the assault regiment's internal care, whether it is in life or weapons and equipment, they have always been the focus of care, even far superior to other companies.
To put it bluntly, everyone really treats snipers as treasures.
However, who would not be heartbroken if five were sacrificed at one time? However, this is war! This is the mission of soldiers.
When the snipers summed up their combat experience afterwards, they felt that the sacrifice of this sniper depended on two points: first, the backwardness of the equipment. I heard that there are some special sniper rifles abroad, not only installed a kind of muffler, but also made the whole gunfire extremely weak, and the sound of gunfire could not be heard at a slight distance. Also, I don't know what a similar sniper rifle looks like, I heard that when a gun is fired, there is no Martian word or smoke on the muzzle. At first glance, you can tell that it is a special sniper equipment.
We believe that we will have this in the future, but the current reality makes everyone can only hope for the future, and we are powerless to change it for the time being.
Of course, this summary, on this point, proposes that we hope that everyone will actively use their brains, experiment with various methods, and try to consider the direction of making the gunfire smaller and the spark gone.
And the second point, which is even more important and can be solved, is experience.
To put it more bluntly, the sniper platoon directly under the current assault regiment, although it has been trained for a long time, and its basic skills are definitely no worse than any sniper, but there are not a few times in actual combat - inexperienced snipers can only be rookies. Such a rookie may be more than enough to deal with other troops, but don't forget, the little devils not only have good marksmanship, but also have a lot of snipers among them. Whether it is in terms of numbers, equipment, or experience, it is far more than these snipers in the current assault group.
Therefore, everyone summed up the experience: in the future, the training direction of snipers should be more on the battlefield, and for this reason, even if there is a sacrifice, it is necessary to train a body of experience. After all, how can the flowers in the greenhouse grow without experiencing wind and rain?
I believe that under the big waves and sands, the snipers who can survive are not only individual combat effectiveness, but also team tactical combat effectiveness, which are stronger than now.
Of course, confrontational training must also be strengthened, otherwise, if you run into a peer among the little devils, it will be troublesome.
