Chapter 276: The Hunter and the Prey!
"Who said you were going to snipe at close range?"
Grand Master Li looked at Zheng Yu, the commander of the second battalion, with an expression on his face that you kid had never seen the world.
"It's shocking to say it, now our political commissar Zhao can hit the target from 1,700 meters away with that large-caliber sniper rifle."
Hiss! Everyone except Lu Yingjun reluctantly widened their eyes, and their eyes were full of shock, admiration, and incredulity when they looked at Zhao Gang.
In this era, hitting a target at a distance of 300 meters is already a master.
Being able to hit targets at a distance of 400 meters is a sharpshooter that various units compete for.
Like the snipers of the Sword Squadron, those are all sharpshooters among sharpshooters.
And Commissar Zhao was able to hit the target from 1700 meters away, what level of shooter is this?
Everyone was a little unimaginable for a while.
At this time, there are only two words in everyone's hearts: Niu Break, Zhao Political Commissar!
Zhao Gang hurriedly said modestly: "The main thing is that the gun is good, if I change to another sniper rifle, I don't have the ability to hit the target at such a long distance." ”
"Lao Zhao, don't be modest." Grand Master Li waved his hand and said, "Not only in our entire regiment, but also in the entire Eighth Route Army, I can't find a sharpshooter like you. ”
Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "I think the name of the first sharpshooter of our Eighth Route Army is none other than Political Commissar Zhao." ”
The battalion commanders of the company nodded in unison, they were convinced by Political Commissar Zhao, not only was his culture high, but his marksmanship was also so powerful.
It's outrageous.
"It's over." Zhao Gang hurriedly said, "There are people outside the world, I just rely on the gun, how can I be so evil." ”
"I don't think Da Biao is wrong." Li Yunlong's eyes widened, "When you kill Hirata Masaki, I don't think anyone will dare to deny you that you are the number one sharpshooter of our Eighth Route Army?" ”
Zhao Gang hurriedly pulled the topic back: "Let's get down to business, Lao Li, let's talk about the specific combat deployment." ”
Li Yunlong pointed to the map on the table and said: "There is a mountain called Mianshan on the south side of Niangziguan, and the distance from Niangziguan Station is 1,700 meters. ”
"Before dawn on the day of Hirata's arrival, Lao Zhao was lurking on the Mianshan Mountain with a large-caliber sniper rifle, waiting for an opportunity to snipe the target, and the Sword Squadron was responsible for protecting his safety."
"This is our first-hand preparation."
"This person has stumbled, the horse has stumbled, if Lao Zhao doesn't hit the target, we still have a second and third hand to prepare."
The power of that large-caliber sniper rifle has basically been seen by everyone present.
You don't need to hit the vital parts of the target at all, you only need to hit the torso of the target, and the target will never be alive.
The whole person is about to be broken in two, and the target's internal organs are all shattered, how can he live?
"The second preparation is to wash the floor with shells."
"This time, the mountain artillery battalion carried half a base number of shells, and the lady was imprisoned to labor and capital to be bombarded."
1 mountain gun has 50 shells for half a base, and 26 mountain guns have 1300 shells for half a base.
It's enough for so many shells to hit the county seat, not to mention the Niangziguan Railway Station.
"Yes!"
Wang Chengzhu responded loudly, laughing so hard that his mouth was almost closed, and the mountain artillery battalion was finally able to do a big job again.
Shells wash the ground, Wang Chengzhu, as the commander of the artillery battalion, likes this word the most.
"The machine artillery battalion is responsible for protecting the air defense of the mountain artillery battalion." Li Yunlong looked at He Jie, the aviation unit of the First Army of the Devil was reorganized, and he had to guard against it.
"Yes!" He Jie straightened up and responded loudly.
Li Yunlong continued: "The third preparation is the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions, the second and third battalions are ambushed on the east and west sides of the Niangziguan station, and the first battalion is the reserve. ”
"But stay farther away, at least two or three kilometers away."
"On that day, a big man was going to Niangzi Pass, and the devil would definitely increase the martial law of the troops."
"Half an hour, if the attacking force does not take the Niangzi Pass for half an hour, the mission will be abandoned."
Everyone remembered that when the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army was ambushed some time ago, there was also a devil major general coming, and the devil soldiers got up in the middle of the night to search for the alert.
"Everyone acted on time according to the plan."
Li Yunlong thought about it again, considering the special circumstances, and finally emphasized the process again:
"Wait for the commissar to shoot first, and if it hits the target, the sword squadron will fire a green flare to signal the infantry to retreat."
"If it doesn't hit the target, the sword squadron will fire a red signal flare, signaling the infantry to move closer to Niangzi Pass to attack, and the mountain artillery battalion will carry out artillery fire to Niangzi Pass."
"In a word, whether the artillery fires or not, the infantry only needs to see if the signal flare color is attacking or retreating."
"The troops will prepare three days' worth of dry rations and set off the morning after tomorrow." Li Yunlong said again, "The meeting is adjourned!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and then walked out.
After everyone left, Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, this time the whole group is dispatching, and I must ask my superiors for instructions." ”
Last time, two battalions of troops were dispatched to ambush the elite brigade of the Kwantung Army, and Li Yunlong still had this autonomy.
The brigade commander will also turn a blind eye.
However, Li Yunlong did not mobilize the autonomy of the whole regiment, and if the superiors really investigated it, it would be enough for Grand Master Li to drink a pot.
"The First Evolution"
Even if he finally kills Hirata Masashi and obtains a large number of cotton clothes and gas masks, there is a high probability that the merits will be offset.
Then there is no way to find the brigade commander to ask for militia, and Li Yunlong can still carry this clearly.
"Don't worry, I've already asked the brigade commander for instructions."
Li Yunlong's tone was proud: "On the second day after returning from the first business, the brigade commander called to fight the autumn breeze, and I asked the brigade commander for instructions, and he asked me to let it go." ”
As for the details and prices of the specific business, Li Yunlong has not yet told the brigade commander.
The brigade commander only knew that after a while, Li Yunlong would hand over 300,000 rounds of ammunition and 20,000 grenades to the brigade headquarters.
Just rushing to this, the brigade commander readily agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan.
"Then I'll be relieved." Zhao Gang nodded.
……
The next day, the cooking squads of the companies and battalions of the new regiment began to prepare dry rations for three days.
The dry food is still fried noodles and horse jerky.
In the winter weather of more than 20 degrees, the nest head and vegetable cakes will be frozen hard, and they can't bite it.
Generally, it is close to the body and can barely bite when it is slightly warm, or it is just a fire to roast and then eat, but it is not easy to make a fire on a snowy day.
In the first half of the year, there was still some horse jerky left from the Black Island Cavalry Wing, which was eaten as dry food only when they went out to fight.
However, the horse jerky is also about to bottom out, and now there are more than 4,500 people in the new regiment, and the horse jerky consumed for a day of fighting is at least 2,000 catties.
Early in the morning of the third day, Li Yunlong led a new regiment of commanders and fighters to set off and marched in the direction of Niangzi Pass.
Yangcun is more than 50 kilometers away from Chenjiagou, and more than 70 kilometers away from Niangziguanzu.
Time is tight, and tasks are heavy.
As usual, the warriors handed over heavy equipment and ammunition boxes to the horses and mules, allowing the warriors to travel lightly.
The new group arrived at Mianshan in the south of Niangzi Pass, and it was already midnight that day.
The soldiers were already very tired, and the rapid march in such weather and road conditions was a test of both will and foot strength.
Fortunately, however, each soldier wore a thick tweed coat and rubber-soled cotton shoes instead of straw sandals, and wore a cotton hat with ear protection.
The first thing he did when he arrived at Niangzi Pass, Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers to camp and rest.
He himself climbed up Mianshan with Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders to reconnoiter Niangzi Pass.
Li Yunlong didn't dare to get too close to reconnoitre, because people walking in the snow would leave footprints, and there were devil officials coming to Niangziguan, and the devils would definitely strengthen their vigilance.
If the devil finds out that someone has approached and reconnoitred, it will be very bad.
Although it was already midnight at this time, the lights in the Niangziguan station were still bright, but it was a big night, and even with the artillery mirror, I couldn't see anything clearly.
At that moment, Li Yunlong beckoned Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders to go back to the tent to sleep, and ordered the whole regiment to get up at half past five as last time.
Nothing was said all night.
At half past five in the morning of the next day, the soldiers on duty woke up the battalion commanders of the companies.
Then the battalion and company commanders ordered the guards to wake up the soldiers, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also woken up by the guards.
At that moment, Li Yunlong called the commanders of each company and battalion, instructed a few precautions, and then ordered them to act separately.
Li Yunlong asked Lu Yingjun to use the artillery mirror in advance to adjust the shooting of the mountain artillery battalion at the Niangziguan station.
Then Li Yunlong held the artillery mirror and acted as Zhao Gang's observer.
At a distance of 1.7 kilometers, the 8x telescope can only see a rough idea, and if you want to see the target's face clearly, you have to use the 16x artillery mirror, and you can also measure the distance with the artillery mirror.
Moreover, the scope of Zhao Gang's large-caliber sniper rifle can also be adjusted to 16 times.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang wore camouflage clothes, found an inconspicuous sniper point on the waist of Mianshan, lay down and then put the large-caliber sniper rifle in front.
Then the sniper rifle is covered with a white cloth to achieve the perfect latent camouflage, which is difficult to detect even if someone approaches.
The squadron of swords was hidden around the two.
As the sky gets brighter, the temperature in the air is a little warmer than at night, but it is still very cold, and the biting cold wind blows like a knife on people's faces.
However, the disguised people are wrapped in a thick layer, leg guards, cotton gloves, cotton hats and cotton shoes, all of which are very well prepared, although it is also very cold, there is no need to worry about frostbite.
During the day, you can use the artillery mirror to see the situation of the lady.
Bunkers, turrets, trenches and barbed wire, two trains parked in the station, with the occasional train passing by.
At about nine o'clock, a train came to the station and stopped, and more than 400 devils jumped down from the train, and the train headed for Yangquan.
As soon as these devils got off the train, they began to hold weapons on the platform to impose martial law, and some devils looked around with binoculars, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang remained motionless.
Li Yunlong did not find a target in the field of vision of the artillery mirror.
Near noon, the devils in the Niangziguan station came out of the barracks and lined up on both sides of the platform with guns.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both looked shocked, and the goal was likely to be reached!
As expected, half an hour later, an armored train like a steel giant beast came from the direction of Jingcheng County.
The steel behemoth had eight large armored wagons, and the turrets and long barrels on the wagons indicated that the armored car was armed with heavy artillery.
Approaching Niangziguan Station, the large armored car began to slow down, and then drove into Niangziguan Railway Station with a puff and stopped.
