Chapter 1168: The Role of Cannon Fodder!
In the commando team, even if there is no previous squad and group formation, but the fifteen brothers in each squad are the original combat group, and they have snipers.
A squad in charge of the guard was scattered in the trenches, with machine gunners and riflemen having their own points, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader were responsible for constantly patrolling the trenches to cheer up the brethren on duty at night; And the snipers have no one to care about them, they are the secret posts on the position, and even the squad leader does not know where they are hiding.
As soon as they lay on the cold ground, the steel helmet was placed in front of them, holding the rifles, and the snipers stared at the scope, their hearts spinning freely, sweeping every corner of the battlefield.
"Huh?"
As the rifle swept over a campfire, the sniper clearly sensed that something was wrong with the corpse in the distance, and he didn't remember what was wrong for the time being.
"There's a problem!"
After a few more minutes, when the scope looked again, the brother finally knew that something was wrong, that there seemed to be more corpses, and that the Type 38 rifle he had just looked at was suddenly gone.
"Coo, coo, coo......"
The commando's characteristic summons sounded, and the sniper reported the anomaly he had discovered.
"There's nothing wrong with that!"
Of course, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader heard it, and they looked around carefully twice with their binoculars, and they didn't feel anything wrong.
"Goo-Goo......
The sound of a confirmation message sounded.
"Poof!"
This thing is not something that can be explained by simple communication, picking up the steel helmet and slipping into the trench through the blind spot of the fire, the sniper bending down to find the squad leader.
"Squad leader, there; I looked at it three minutes ago, there weren't so many bodies there, and their rifles were clearly moving. ”
The sniper points to the place he found and explains the situation to his squad leader.
There was an unknown sound from the position, and the Burmese, who were used as cannon fodder, did not dare to move now, although they were members of the death squads, they had to enter the enemy's defense line to find out the effect, and they did not want to be beaten into a sieve by machine guns, when there was no way to fight back.
"Why stopped?"
The Burmese did not dare to move, but the devil officers were urging, the main purpose of these people was to tear through the defense line and open the passage for the follow-up troops, as long as they rushed in, it would be a white-knuckle battle, black and black, and the enemy's automatic fire would not work.
"Sir, the enemy seems to have discovered us, and the brothers in front need to be confirmed."
The officer of the Burmese Defense Force explained in a whisper that the success or failure of the cannon fodder death squad lurking close to the defense line is related to the success of the counteroffensive position, and if they fail, when the enemy reacts, no one will be able to break through the fire network as soon as the light and heavy firepower is fired, as evidenced by the corpses in front of the position.
The guns and ammunition along the campfire had been obtained, and some of the Burmese had obtained weapons, but many more Burmese still had a scimitar in their hands.
Seeing that the brothers in front of them did not move, the soldiers of the death squad who followed behind also found a place to nest, these natural warriors, they did not need to be instructed to naturally know that they should do this at this time.
"Stagnate, I'll report!"
The squad leader also felt the unusualness over there, the scattered rifles were now in the hands of the corpse, as if they could be picked up and shot at any time, and it was obvious that there were living people moving in it.
The battlefield in front of the position had already been confirmed in the afternoon, and there could be no living people, so it could only be said that the enemy had touched this place in the dark night.
"They're going to attack at night."
In the semi-underground bunker, Wang Ning had this idea in his head after listening to the report.
"Let all the brethren stand by in their bunkers, order all the machine-gun fortifications, and after the shelling of the devils begins, they can shoot at any suspicious target in front of them."
Wang Ning looked at the time, at this time the enemy has not moved, then they must be waiting for the shelling, these enemies are not afraid of death, they will definitely cross the bonfire area in the sound of cannons, and when the cannonade stops, maybe their brothers will come out of the bunker, and they will see them rushing into the trenches.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the communications corps ran out of the semi-underground bunker, the shelling of the devils began, the shells rained down on the position, and the fire that exploded in the darkness was very obvious.
"Why me again?"
Wang Ning held the binoculars and endured the rumbling artillery around him, and he found that the artillery fire in his direction was the most intensive, and in other directions, there was only a sparse sound of shelling, as if the devil was using this to cover something.
"Flares!"
"Keep an eye on the river!"
In the riverside position, the sparse shells could not threaten the American troops at all, and the officer shouted and ordered to fire flares towards the river, as long as the Japanese did not cross the river, they were safe.
"It's the position of the second battalion again."
The rumbling sound of artillery made Feng Ye also raise his binoculars, and the fire of the explosion was in the direction of the second battalion.
"Liang Hao, let the brothers of the guard company stand by."
Feng Yi shouted, during the day, Wang Ning's defense line had the most casualties, and at night the devils regarded this place as a breakthrough, and now they can't give up their positions, so they can only pile up the reserves here to see who can bear it better.
"Up, up, up......"
Seeing the shells fall in front of them, the Burmese did not hesitate, gritted their teeth and crawled into the flames, they could now safely take away the guns and ammunition scattered on the position.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
The firing ports and observation ports of the underground bunkers were obscured by smoke and dust, and in the gaps, the machine gunner seemed to see something moving in the campfire, and whether it was an enemy or not, he opened fire, because the order was to shoot if he was suspicious.
"Da Da Da ......"
At first, it was just a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun firing, but their gunfire brought a chain reaction, and all the machine gun bunkers on the position opened fire, and the rain of bullets poured down towards the flickering front of the battlefield.
"Puff puff ......"
The gunfire was very sudden, and the Burmese, who were pouting and picking up equipment and moving in front of the position, did not expect it at all, and they were swept down by machine gun bullets.
"Keep going, take advantage of the cover of artillery fire, and keep crawling forward."
The devil officer shouted, urging these cannon fodder not to be afraid of death, and to try to get as close as possible while the enemy's firepower was still very sparse under the cover of artillery fire, as for the accidental injury caused by the shell, it was not in their consideration, this is the role of cannon fodder.
"Up, pick up the gun, get on!"
The officers of the defense army shouted at the same time, urging them to continue to climb forward, because at this time, the Japanese troops behind them had already set up their crooked machine guns, needless to say, it must have urged them to attack, and if they dared to disobey the order, those Japanese would definitely open fire, fire in their own backs, and they had already fallen into a dead position.
"Let the brothers of the first company stand by in the second line of defense."
On the forward position, Wang Ning's ears were full of explosions, the enemy was always coming, he could feel that once the artillery stopped, it would be a decisive battle, and they were afraid that they would face the white-knuckle battle directly, so he no longer stayed behind, and directly pressed all his troops.
