Chapter 73: A Strange Death Count
"Then you have to look at me, do you hear it, you promised me, we must follow Brother Yuan and get out alive."
Zheng Da tightened his heart and looked Zhao Shiguo up and down.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired, Rite mother, the Japanese devil's cannonball is fierce, and it shocks my ears." Zhao Shiguo hooked his ears with his little thumb, and said, "Stinky boy, hurry up and watch, the Japanese devil's cannon will come again." ”
"You're with me!" Zheng Dayong tugged Zhao Shiguo's arm, but saw him grinning for a while, as if he realized something, Zhao Shiguo hurriedly said:
"What are you doing with you, don't you fight little Japanese devils? Jing watched you fight, you stinky boy, or Lao Tzu brought it out, hurry up. ”
"You're hurt!" Zheng Dayong's face changed slightly, grabbed Zhao Shiguo, grabbed him, glanced at Zhao Shiguo's back, and his face suddenly changed.
Zhao Shiguo's back clothes were torn, and the flesh and blood were blurred, stained with the mud on the walls, and the blood formed a muddy bloody mud under his buttocks, and the flesh and skin pierced Zheng Dayong's eyes.
He immediately grabbed Zhao Shiguo, "I'll take you to Brother Yuan." ”
"Find what Xia Yuan, it's okay, let me down." Zhao Shiguo already clearly felt that his life was being lost, and the excessive blood loss made him cold, and he was holding on to his still sober consciousness, and after being discovered by Zheng Dayong, he suddenly relaxed and gradually became blurred.
"Cold, boy, you're not cold."
"What is cold, I'm not cold." Zheng Dayong carried Zhao Shiguo on his back, drilled out of the machine gun bunker that had been blown up and collapsed by Japanese devil shells, and said: "Old Zhao, you must not die, you promised me, you will take me out, you are dead, I will not live anymore, I will go to you." ”
During this period of getting along, Zheng Dayong has regarded Zhao Shiguo as his closest person, and the two are almost inseparable on the battlefield.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Zheng Dayong shouted, asking the soldiers who were blocking the front to make a way for him.
"Die, I won't die, I promise you, I will do it. But you put me down first, I'm so cold, put a dress on me. Zhao Shiguo's consciousness had begun to blur, and his speech was a little vague.
"You get out, when you're healed, put on yourself." Zheng Dayong walked away, and only Zhao Shiguo's unconscious whispering 'cold' and 'cold' was left in his ears.
He shouted: "Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao." ”
Seeing Zhao Shiguo's response, Zheng Da panicked, and felt a piece of mud with the hand holding his buttocks, it was not mud.
Hurriedly put Zhao Shiguo on the ground, supported his head with his hands, and did not let the wound behind him touch the ground, Zhao Shiguo's face was pale and terrifying, and the blood behind him formed a river on his back, and even the pants under him were soaked and flowed down his thighs.
"Cold."
Zhao Shiguo's unconscious murmur made Zheng Dayong feel like he had grasped a life-saving straw, "I'll give you clothes, I'll give you clothes." ”
He took off his clothes in a panic, covered Zhao Shiguo, and then carried him on his back, "Old Zhao, you have to hold on, you said okay, you want to take me home alive, if you die first, I won't fight the little devil anymore, I will go to you too." ”
"Lao Zhao, you can tell me, I haven't become a real machine gunner yet."
"I just killed five Japanese devils with twenty bullets, don't you see?"
"Lao Zhao"
The attack of the Japanese devils was menacing, it was a standard infantry and artillery coordination, the bridge was being built, and the Japanese troops were attacking.
On the battlefield, Xia Yuan and Li Youcai were completely within the range of the Japanese devils' firepower, his marksmanship was very terrifying, and there were not many soldiers alive around, but he shot more than 50 Japanese devils with a 38-type rifle, which was a real bullet.
Li Youcai was stunned at the beginning, and he accepted it very calmly later, he followed Zhang Guangcai to fight in the south and the north, and saw a lot of capable generals, and there were many who fought well, and there were even more who rushed and slammed into it, but only like this marksmanship is powerful, and he has never seen a soldier who kills the enemy 53 people with 53 bullets, and he has only seen a strong marksmanship, which is to kill 10 Japanese soldiers with more than 30 bullets, which is already quite powerful.
Now seeing such a powerful marksmanship, Li Youcai was greatly shocked, if the Japanese devils stood in a row and killed the enemy with accurate marksmanship, he could still accept it, but the Japanese army was constantly moving, and even some Japanese soldiers were beaten by Xia Yuan with their own strength, shrunk in the water, and did not dare to show their heads, and when only half of their heads were exposed, they were pierced by Xia Yuan's shot.
Such accurate marksmanship, with Li Youcai's cultural level, I don't know what words to use to describe it, I can only exclaim it as a celestial.
Seeing only that, with more than 50 rounds of ammunition and none of them missed, Li Youcai thought that the test given to him by the battalion commander was still too simple, and he even felt that Xia Yuan no longer needed any assessment.
The casualties of more than 50 Japanese soldiers attracted the attention of the Japanese squadron leader, and when he received the casualty report from the second squad, he aroused his vigilance, and vaguely remembered that the third squad, which was attacking the edge defense line of the national army, was also severely attacked by the national army, suffering more than 60 casualties, and withdrew from the battle.
And in that attack, their casualties only caused more than twenty casualties, which was the total number of casualties in one day.
Now, the battle has only been fought for more than an hour, and they have more than 50 casualties, and the Japanese squadron leader has a gloomy and terrible face: "Go, tell the soldiers fighting on the front line, notify me immediately if you find anything!" ”
"Yes!"
The Japanese signal corps quickly withdrew, passing the squadron leader's message to the front line, and the Japanese soldiers who received the squadron leader's message had just withdrawn from the water, and the fire of the Chinese people was not fierce, and they could feel it when they attacked.
Under the blow of the heavy artillery and ferocious firepower of the Japanese army, the first line of defense of the Chinese people was in danger, most of the machine gun fire points were destroyed, and the remaining machine gun fire points were also under the heavy firepower, basically unable to be used, the resistance of the Chinese people was very weak, but in the process of their attack, they paid huge casualties.
The fundamental reason for this is that there was a guy with very accurate marksmanship on the position of the Chinese people, and no matter how they dodged, they could not dodge the bullets of that guy, and he first shot the commander of the attacking detachment, so that the attacking troops lost their command, and then shot the observers, so that the mortars and grenadiers could not be accurately aimed.
The guy was quite terrifying, half of his head was exposed on the water, he could be shot in the head, and the observer who was hiding on the shore was also half of his head, and the guy found the observer, and when they found the observer dead, they found his body, his steel helmet was pierced by a bullet, and there was a bloody hole in the door of his head, and the bullet pierced his skull.
"He is a sharpshooter of the Chinese people, his marksmanship is very strong, and his observation ability is also very strong, in just an hour, the third squadron suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed reinforcements."
When the captain received the news from the signal soldier, his face became even more ugly, "Let the third squadron come down, and the second squadron will take over the task of the third squadron, and in addition, go and call Mitani over, Mitani is the greatest marksman in the empire, and his ability is enough to destroy a company of Zhina, let him deal with that Zhina, and let all the artillery cooperate with his actions." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, a heavily armed man walked in, he was carrying a special rifle behind him, the rifle carried a telescope-like barrel, with two lenses on it, the gun was very long, it had to be as long as one meter two or three, and this man was not tall, about one meter six, this gun was on his back, it looked very funny.
The Japanese squadron leader did not underestimate him in the slightest, and nodded to him: "Santani-kun, the most troublesome thing for us is their strength, the Chinese are very backward, but they have a lot of people, and our troops are not as good as theirs, but now, the strength of the Chinese people in Wusong is far inferior to ours, and in a few days, we will be able to reach the other side of the river." ”
"But now, I have a problem that I need your hand to help me."
Mitani's eyes were cold, and he said, "Nakagawa-kun, please speak." ”
Captain Nakagawa said: "I don't know where a marksman came out, his marksmanship is very powerful, in an hour, he shot and killed fifty-three soldiers of my Great Japanese Empire, please Mitani-kun can find him out and shoot him, I will let the artillery in the rear cooperate with your actions." ”
Mitani frowned, killing fifty-three soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire in an hour, this guy is really as powerful as he said? Mitani didn't quite believe that he might not be able to do this in other words, an hour and sixty minutes, which meant that he would shoot a soldier of the Japanese Empire in one minute.
"If it's really as good as Nakagawa-kun said, I may not be his opponent."
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it, but the situation on the battlefield, who can say for sure, the fifty-three soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire who died would be killed by one person, to the extent that he could not do it, he believed, and others could not do it.
It is very likely that the soldiers fighting on the front line were too nervous, and attributed the deaths of the dead to the work of that one person, but in fact the situation was that the marksmanship of that person was very good, but it was far from that great, but after that person killed many soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire, those soldiers who were still alive were afraid and thought that the other soldiers killed by the people of China were also killed by that person.
Mitani said: "It's a pity that there is no if, the marksmanship of the Shina people may be very powerful, but it is far less powerful, it is just an illusion of a front-line combat soldier." I still remember when I was a child, when I came home alone at night, I would think of the wind-blown and swaying shadows of the trees in the depths on both sides of the road as people. ”
After a pause, he added: "The people of China are backward in weapons, backward in people, and their country is even more backward, so they can't cultivate such a powerful marksman. ”
In the early thirties, the Kwantung Army encountered organized resistance from anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast, especially the members of the Orion, who had extremely strong survivability and superb marksmanship in extremely harsh environments, and such special sniper abilities practiced in daily life, which gave the Kwantung Army a great headache, and finally, prompted the Japanese army to equip the Type 38 modified rifle, that is, the Type 97 sniper rifle.
Mitani uses the latest 97-type sniper rifle, the gun is 1.275 meters long, the whole gun weighs 3.95 kilograms, uses 5 magazines to feed ammunition, the caliber is 6.5 mm, the initial velocity of the bullet is 765 meters per second, the effective range is 600 meters, and the maximum range exceeds 3000 meters.
At present, this batch of guns has just been sent to the battlefield of invasion of China and put into use, Mitani is a sniper trained by the Japanese army, with rich shooting experience, since joining the East Asian battlefield, more than 200 people have died under his gun.
Mitani had only killed 200 Shina people after joining the Chinese battlefield for so long, so he did not believe that the Shina people could kill 50 enemy soldiers in an hour.
"I hope as you say, Mitani-kun, you still have to be careful, this Shina man is very cunning, and he can survive under the fire of the Great Japanese Empire, which proves that he is very cunning."
Captain Nakagawa admonished.
The sniper in front of him looked very arrogant, which made Captain Nakagawa feel a little uneasy, although the people of China were very backward, and their soldiers did not have any fighting qualities, but they could not underestimate any nation, especially China.
In the long history of 5,000 years, it has experienced countless wars and dynasties, and such a complete country can be preserved, which is never as simple as imagined.
As for the remarks of the superiors about the destruction of China in three months, in his opinion, it was completely a big talk, and in the first battle of Songhu, the people of China showed a tenacious will to fight.
It is hard to imagine that if their training is on par with that of the Japanese army, it is completely nonsense that they want to attack China again.
He asked Mitani to be careful, in addition to his cautious posture, the second is that a few days ago, when the third squad of the second squadron launched an attack on the national army position in the west, it was stubbornly blocked by the national soldiers, reinforced the strength of the three detachments, and still suffered sixty casualties.
And last night, the western position was attacked by the national army at night, and more than 30 people died, and the total number of casualties in the past few days has exceeded 200.
And since the landing operation, they have not suffered more than 200 casualties, and that is.
Only stayed near the Sitang River for a few days, and the casualties exceeded the total number of previous casualties, which made Captain Nakagawa angry, but he couldn't find the problem, all of them acted in strict accordance with the rules and regulations of the operation, the cooperation between the detachments was close and well-organized, and the attack also maintained the left, center, and right three lines of advance, and the soldiers all advanced in a triangular formation, and when they launched the charge, they were all coordinated with infantry and artillery.
Even then, they paid a huge price for casualties.
This is very incomprehensible, the combat effectiveness of the national army is obvious to all, the Japanese army has been fighting with the national army for many days, even if it has suffered heavy casualties, but like now, in just a few days, the casualties have exceeded more than 200 people.
Captain Nakagawa immediately realized that the matter was not so simple, and it was very likely to be related to the sharpshooter Shina.
