Chapter 292: Useless Three-Stage Shot
readx;
As the rows of American soldiers got closer and closer to the position of the Huo family's army, the soldiers and generals who had always paid attention to this war all calmed down and lifted their hearts!
"Stop! Prepare to shoot!" Just as his troops advanced to a distance of nearly two hundred meters from the enemy's position, Smith's expression changed and he suddenly ordered. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The distance of 200 meters is already a very dangerous distance for the troops, although the range of the rifle reaches 600 to 800 meters, but the effective engagement distance is less than 400 meters.
"Commander, are you advancing below, the Chinese on the opposite position have not yet reacted, moreover, our troops are basically new recruits, I am afraid that at a distance of two hundred meters, our hit rate will be very limited!" said the combat staff officer next to him.
Hearing this, Smith was also a little moved, but whenever he saw the squadron ** that only showed his upper body, lying on the ground with a rifle in his hand and aiming, he once again strengthened his determination! Although he did not understand why the squadron still did not fire, the intuition tempered by his military career for several decades told him that the position in front of him was in great danger! As long as he did not pay attention to it, he would swallow the scum of the 10,000-strong First Division of the US Army!
"No, the accuracy of the rifle at this distance is already guaranteed! and, until now. The Chinese, who are above us in terms of experience and the quality of their soldiers, still haven't fired a shot, I'm afraid it's not that simple! Now, it's up to us to fire first. If they have any conspiracy, we can retreat in time!" Although it sounds far-fetched, this is indeed the best reason Smith can think of, after all, he can't say that he is completely intuitive, and feels that there is danger ahead, so he ordered to fire first!
watched the U.S. ** team that was engaged in the attack stop and began to arrange the formation. Of course, the Huo Jiajun in the back is also aware of it!
"Regiment commander, the Americans want to shoot, what should we do now?" Gao Zhongyang, chief of staff of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Marine Division, put down the binoculars in his hand and asked.
"What else can I do? Doesn't the division headquarters have an order? Put the enemy within a hundred meters and open fire!" Lin Chengjun said.
"Commander, isn't this watching these foreign devils arrogant on our position? It's so fucking aggrieved!" Gao Zhongyang said with a grumbling heart.
"Boss Gao, it's okay! We must resolutely carry out the orders of the division headquarters! There are 250,000 Americans on the other side, are you still afraid that there will be no battle in the future?"
"Huh. That's the same reason!" Gao Zhongyang said with a smile.
"Pass my orders. All battalions and companies except for the observers, all the others hid in the tunnels for me, and if there was a sacrifice in that squad and platoon, all the people would be punished with demerits after the war!"
"Yes, Captain!"
With an order, most of the Huo family troops all shrank into the tunnel, and Shen Guang, who was the leader of the second platoon of the third company of the first regiment and the third battalion of the Marine Corps, was of course no exception!
Listen to the thumping of gunfire not far away, and the sound of 'snorting' lead bullets being fired into the earth around the position. He once participated in the Nanyang Campaign and the military operation to liberate Java Island. Shen Guang, who has rich combat experience, did not have the slightest nervousness in his heart! Because from the surrounding bullet impact points, he could tell that the marksmanship of those American recruits on the opposite side was really bad enough! After ten bullets, only one shot could hit the sandbag on top of his head! This was still based on the fact that the Huo Jiajun did not counterattack, otherwise if the two armies fought, the anxiety of the American recruits would increase exponentially, and the shooting accuracy would also drop exponentially! Coupled with the weapons and equipment in his hands that were completely superior to those of his opponent, Shen Guang did not have the slightest doubt that his army would win this war!
"Huh!" Shen Guang took a few puffs, lit the cigarette in his hand, shook it casually, and after the match was extinguished, he threw it on the ground casually, and then crushed it with the leather shoes on his feet!
After Meimei took a puff, Shen Guangcai spit out with a face full of enjoyment, although the cigarettes issued by the army were not very good, but the cigarettes that could be smoked were already very good!
According to Huo Jiajun's regulations, every soldier is given two pairs of leather boots every year, three sets of clothes for summer, autumn and winter, and a monthly salary of five silver dollars, and he can often receive free cigarettes, candy, canned meat, and a certain amount of wine! As a squad leader, Shen Guang's salary is eight silver dollars a month, and as an officer, he is also treated a little better than ordinary soldiers! However, Shen Guang, who is only 27 years old this year, is already the father of five children! Although the treatment of the military dependents in the Huo family army is very good, Shen Guang, who is full of the simple values of Chinese farmers in his bones, is still reluctant to speak, and almost every month's salary is sent home on time, without exception!
"Squad leader, aren't you nervous at all? There are a lot of foreign devils shooting at us outside!" A trembling young voice sounded from Shen Guang's side!
"What, you're scared?" Shen Guang turned his head and said with a smile as he looked at the embarrassed young man who was blushing.
Originally, he was not a soldier of the Fourth Marine Division, but after the end of the Nanyang War, the First to the Fifth Marine Division had very rich combat experience after a series of wars with the Dutch, while the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Divisions, which were formed relatively late, were almost all recruits who had no experience in war, except for some officers!
Considering the balance of troops, and also in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the last three Marine Divisions, the eight Marine Divisions were mixed to a certain extent, that is, at that time, Zhang Nanyang was transferred from the Eighth Marine Division to the Fourth Division, and was assigned to the second shift!
Smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Shen Guang said with a smile: "There is no shame in being afraid, I think when I first started to be a soldier, I met a Dutch foreign hair that was tall and strong, and the hair on my body was like a bear, and I was also as scared as you are today, and I can't hold the gun steadily!"
"Then squad leader, why have you become so calm now?" Hearing that the squad leader he had always respected had such an unknown paragraph, the little soldier Zhang Nanyang immediately asked with some gossip.
"Yes, squad leader! Let's talk about it!" Because it was boring to sit in the tunnel, the other soldiers of the second squad also surrounded him!
"Hehe, okay, since you want to hear it, then I'll talk about it!" After a pause, "Your squad leader and I, I am from Chaozhou, Guangdong, where there are many Maozi, and they often bully us, and their mother's Qing government is afraid of the British and French, so they don't care much when it comes to foreigners! Our 4th and 3rd divisions were responsible for liberating Java Island, and at that time, I was also a new soldier like you now. As a result, after the landing, the first battle was to fight the Waiyumeng! Although the Dutch stationed there were beaten by us, there were also those who were not afraid of death! The result was also strange, and I ran into them. That time I looked at the tall Dutch hairy man and wanted me to pounce, and I was so stupid that I forgot that I still had the guy in my hand!"
"What happened then, squad leader?" Zhang Nanyang asked.
"Later, it was my squad leader at the time, who kicked me in the ass and kicked me away, and then 'brushed' a standard spur, and the bayonet on the Type 80 rifle directly pierced the Dutch hair! At that time, the blood sprayed on me, and I was directly stunned! I turned around and vomited! This bile vomited!"
"Later, it was my squad leader at the time who enlightened me and said: 'Shen Guang, what are you afraid of when you see Yang Maozi? They are not just like us with two shoulders and one head, and this knife will be the same as death!' Later, I thought that what the squad leader said was also right, and the guys in our hands were so much better than Yang Maozi, it was easy to defeat them, what is there to be afraid of! In this way, in the second battle of our landing on Java Island, we shot and killed an enemy, and I have never been afraid since then! It is the same to this day! ”
"So, this time, we don't have to be afraid of the American Maozi on the other side, although they have a lot of troops, but we also have machine guns and artillery, and when the time comes, we will directly bombard the fuck! How many Maozi will be finished! Moreover, after this war, how many military exploits can we make! Maybe your kid will be able to be a squad leader all of a sudden?" Shen Guang patted Zhang Nanyang's shoulder heavily and said with a smile.
"Hehe, squad leader! See if you can do this, after the victory of this war, can you let the army assign me two foreign women as wives! My mother said that foreign women with round waists and buttocks can give birth!" Zhang Nanyang snorted and said with some embarrassment.
Since the beginning of the Nanyang War, there has been a habit of distributing women within the Huo Jiajun troops, especially those indigenous women who have been obtained from the war are basically the first to be assigned to the soldiers in the army, and the rest are the bachelors who immigrated to the Nanyang! The reason for doing this is that one is to reward the soldiers' combat exploits, and the other is to take into account the issue of the inheritance of the soldiers in the army, after all, these soldiers are the most loyal to the Huo family's army, and striving to expand this collective is also conducive to maintaining the dominant position of the Huo family's army!
In addition, only when there are more women can there be more fertility population, and population is precisely the most precious strategic resource!
"Haha, okay! As long as you kid can kill ten American soldiers for me in this war, then I'll report it to you!" Shen Guang said with a smile.
The Huo family's military discipline is strict, it is strictly forbidden to rape and kill people at will, and it is impossible to destroy other people's families, but after a war in the United States, single women, including prostitutes, widows, etc., have gained more than 200,000 yuan, although their bodies are not very clean, but it is still very good to be a concubine for Chinese and have children!
"Squad leader, the Americans are coming up!"
The voice fell, and the atmosphere inside the tunnel, which was still relaxed and happy just now, changed suddenly, and everyone grabbed the rifles in their hands and slowly poked out of the tunnel! )
