Chapter 76: The Fall
Mitani found a new position, this time he was more careful, the other party had already broken his shoulder, but he didn't even find the shadow of the other party.
"He's a very powerful Shina man!"
Glancing at his bandaged shoulders, Mitani moved cautiously, and waited a long time to open the grass. He couldn't figure out where the people were hiding and how they found him.
Probably, he couldn't figure it out until he died.
Compared with camouflage, no one can compare with Xia Yuan, he wrapped his body in yellow mud, lying in a crater, and merged with the earth, after this Japanese devil shot three soldiers of the national army, he put away the gun and detoured. I have to say that this Japanese devil's disguise is really good, and he stared at the reeds with his eagle eye for a long time before he found him, and he didn't kill him with a single shot, so he ran away.
This guy's disguise is okay, and he is cautious enough, and the US snipers have also undergone rigorous training, but because of the arrogance of the US military, coupled with the large number of their snipers, many people's disguise seems careless, and the most important thing is the arrogance of the US military, they think that they have won the battle, and they are a little carried away.
This Japanese man is smart and cautious.
The Japanese army had already entered the forward position, 100 Japanese soldiers rushed into the trenches, stabbed to death with bayonets those Nationalist soldiers who did not evacuate, and those carrying light machine guns quickly mounted their machine guns on the bunker offensive, while the Japanese sappers began to repair the trenches, regardless of the yellow mud in the trenches.
Xia Yuan stared at the Japanese sniper, and still didn't see him come out, but when he saw that the Japanese soldiers had occupied the forward position, he quickly put away his gun, got up from the mud pit, and turned around and rushed to the second line of defense of the national army.
"The people of China! Pursuit! ”
The sharp-eyed Japanese soldier found Xia Yuan and quickly shot at him, Xia Yuan's speed was very fast, and he quickly fell into the impact point in front of him, turned around to aim, pulled the trigger, and the head of a Japanese soldier who shot seemed to be pumped, and he threw it backwards violently and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood was thrown out of the back of his head, and it was sprinkled on the mud floor with an inexplicable red and white liquid.
Xia Yuan quickly pulled the bolt and eliminated the three Japanese soldiers, squinting and observing the reeds in the distance, but still did not see the figure of the Japanese devil sniper: "Cowardice." ”
With a curse, he quickly disappeared with his gun.
"Don't go to live, he's a Chinese marksman!"
The Japanese devils who wanted to pursue hurriedly stopped their movements and did not dare to pursue again. They already knew that this person was the 'Chinese marksman' that the team leader said.
The sharpshooter of the Chinese people is what they call Xia Yuan, before the attack, they held a pre-war mobilization meeting, and naturally learned that there was a guy with very good marksmanship on the position of the Chinese people, and they also sent snipers from the Great Japanese Empire.
However, the troublesome guy did not seem to be solved, and as quickly as he could, killing three soldiers, fled.
The Japanese veterans did not dare to chase, and those who were able to fire three shots in such a short period of time almost regarded the weapon that pulled the bolt as a semi-automatic weapon, and it was absolutely death to rush forward.
Anyway, they have already occupied the forward position, the offensive mission has been completed, and there is no need to risk chasing them.
Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance aircraft, the front is the second line of defense of the national army, and their rush over is completely an act of seeking death.
The Japanese devils stopped pursuing, but Xia Yuan didn't say that he wanted to let them go, especially the Japanese devil's sniper.
"The range of the Type 38 rifle is 460 meters, and I am already 400 meters away from the other side of the river, and I can't go back any further."
If he doesn't kill this Japanese devil's sniper, Xia Yuan is a little unwilling in his heart after all, he knows better than anyone else the truth of letting the tiger return to the mountain, although he doesn't have much affection for the national army, but the low-level soldiers of the national army are worthy of sympathy and admiration, eliminating a Japanese devil's sniper can at least save the lives of many national soldiers, as for whether he will shoot the commander of the national army, it is not within Xia Yuan's consideration.
Xia Yuan controlled the eagle eye to the maximum, and did not let go of any detail in the reeds, the green reeds were full of life, and the small insects were crawling on the plant poles, all of which were reflected in Xia Yuan's eyes.
If it was just with the naked eye of a human being, it would be difficult to see such a picture, but Xia Yuan had obtained the eagle eye of the system, and not a single detail of the reed swing would escape his eyes.
The reeds on the opposite side are very large, stretching for 100 meters, the Japanese army is very smart, the machine gun position is set up behind the reeds, many reeds are broken by bullets, revealing a large gap, Xia Yuan first carefully observed the position of the gap, and did not find anything unusual.
"If you don't hide here, you're hiding inside, but you're a guy who is afraid of death, I thought you would do the opposite, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
The speed of his search is fast, and the powerful insight that Hawkeye brings, any location he observes, will form a picture in his mind and be carefully analyzed.
After searching for dozens of meters of reeds, he finally found the sniper of the Japanese devil in a thicket reed, he hid very deeply, even if he stood close, it was difficult to find this guy, he almost blended with the surrounding scenery, if it weren't for Xia Yuan's eagle eye, it would be difficult to find this guy.
"I found you, I guess you haven't found me yet."
Xia Yuan used the original color of nature to weave a net of camouflage for his body through some camouflage, so that his body and the surroundings almost integrated.
On top of his head, there was even a stone, and his face was evenly smeared with mud.
found him, Xia Yuan didn't shoot immediately, this shot, to kill directly with one hit, can't let him escape, I don't know where the previous shot hit, but it didn't hit the vital point, this guy is a thief, and he wants to stay and continue to fight with him, so he can't give him a third chance.
After careful observation for a while, Xia Yuan finally figured out what was going on with this guy's disguise, so he took a slight breath, raised the muzzle of the gun to aim, and squinted at the Japanese sniper.
At this moment, Mitani did not realize that he had been targeted, he moved extremely carefully, under the dense blades of grass, a pair of dark eyes stared at the Japanese soldiers who had captured the forward position.
It can be seen how much time he spent on that move just now, but it was his caution that gave Xia Yuan the air attack that jumped out of the forward position, and Sangu did not realize that Xia Yuan had fled the forward position.
"He's a very good marksman, not even inferior to, Chief Instructor."
After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, they went to the battlefield, with their powerful marksmanship, they killed a lot of Maozi, and even killed Maozi's commander, after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army began to pay attention to accuracy, whether it was a cannon or a gun.
He promoted many soldiers with excellent marksmanship from the army, and the chief instructor stood out from the crowd. even engaged in special combat teams, similar to the special forces of later generations.
Mitani thought he was hiding well, but for some reason he was exposed, but under his own observation, he still didn't find the figure of the Shina.
Suddenly.
The sound of bullets bursting through the air was heard.
Mitani was startled: "Nani! Immediately afterward, his vision became blurred as if he had been kicked in the head, and he fell to the ground, and soon stopped moving.
Xia Yuan, who eliminated the Japanese devil sniper, did not do anything to the Japanese army on the forward position, there were few bullets left on his body, without Li Youcai, he shot wantonly, the Japanese machine gun position was hidden behind the reeds, and the deterrent power of shooting Japanese soldiers was far less than that of shooting Japanese machine gun positions, and the rest of the time was chased by Japanese devil shells.
Xia Yuan is quite cautious about the battlefield, he knows the lethality of stray bullets very well, he is quite careful every time he shoots, no matter how good his ability is, in the face of flying bullets, he will die if he hits the vital point.
The advantage of caution is that you don't give the opposite sniper a chance, and it is difficult for the other party to find yourself if you take a shot and change the place.
The Japanese occupied the forward position, the battle of the second company's position did not stop, the first company was able to withstand the Japanese attack, but also suffered heavy casualties, the third company was still in a better situation, the attacking Japanese troops were not many, only caused harassment to their position.
Zhang Guangqi looked at the battle map of the Sitang River, his brows were furrowed, the purpose of such a fierce offensive of the Japanese army can be imagined, they want to cross the Sitang River and completely stabilize the defense line in the direction of Wusong.
"We don't know the strength of the Japanese troops on the other side of the bank yet, but the size of the Japanese troops attacking our battalion alone has reached a brigade."
"We can't hold it."
The 160th Battalion is a reinforced battalion, with four companies, and the strength of the Japanese army is only five or six hundred people, while the strength of the Japanese army has reached a brigade, the size of half a regiment, and the Japanese army has infantry and artillery coordination, and the combat ability of the Japanese soldiers is above them.
Troops, weapons and equipment, and soldier literacy are not at all on the same level.
At this time, Zhang Guangqi had already begun to retreat, and the 160th Battalion continued to insist, but there was only one result, the casualties would be larger and larger, and the position would not be able to be held.
Li Youcai said: "Battalion commander, maybe we can let Deputy Company Commander Xia come and give it a try." ”
"Xia Yuan's shooting ability is obvious to all, but the battlefield is never a one-man decision, he can only stand up for a while, but he can't stop the crazy attack of the Japanese army." Zhang Guangqi shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first, if the superiors give the order to defend the position, then we have no choice." ”
Xia Yuan retreated to the second line of defense, in a half-broken water tank, found the rain a few days ago, there were already small creatures swimming in it, he didn't dislike it, grabbed it to wash his face, washed off the dry mud on his body, revealed the appearance of a military uniform, and washed his hair.
He sat on the ground, unscrewed the marching kettle, took two sips, fumbled through the pockets of his clothes, took out a biscuit, carefully tore open the outer package, stuffed two pieces into his mouth, and chewed for a while.
A piece of biscuit was eaten cleanly, Xia Yuan took another sip of water, shook the kettle, and felt that there was not much water left in it, so he screwed the lid on and tied it firmly to his waist, and the bayonet behind him was still there, and he didn't lose it.
"Why is this war getting more and more stupid."
Xia Yuan touched his wet hair helplessly, shook off the water stains on the top of his head, stood up, put the gun behind his back, glanced at the position of the Japanese devils, and turned back to the second line of defense.
Mitani's death alarmed Captain Nakagawa, he looked at the bullet hole in Mitani's head, and the wound on his shoulder, and couldn't help but ask: "Is the Chinese sharpshooter dead?" ”
The second squadron leader, Ishishima, shook his head: "According to the attacking soldiers, the Shina sharpshooter was not dead, they also found the Shina sharpshooter and pursued it for a distance. ”
Captain Nakagawa asked again, "What is the result?" ”
"Let him escape, he killed three pursuers, all of them smashed the head with a single shot, the marksmanship was extremely accurate, and the rest of the people did not dare to pursue."
"Yaga!"
Squadron Leader Nakagawa was furious and scolded, "The Chinese sharpshooter must be killed, he has killed so many divine soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, how can he be let go so easily!" Go, order the artillery to concentrate artillery fire and bombard the second line of defense of the chinensis! Completely destroy their defenses! ”
"Yes!"
The second squadron leader, Ishishima, received the order and turned to leave.
Their shells were transported to Wusong by warships, and a large number of shells were hoarded in the direction of Guntai and Wusong Town, and these shells would be transported to the front line to fight the enemy.
The Japanese attempted to sabotage the second line of defense of the Nationalist Army in order to buy time for the second squadron to force its way across the Sitang River.
The strength of the second squadron of the Japanese army is gathering to the forward position of the 160th battalion, the iron bridge on the river has been built, the speed of the Japanese army reaching the opposite bank through the iron bridge has increased a lot, only 200 Japanese soldiers carrying weapons and equipment, heavy firepower reached the other side of the river, and above their heads, one by one they dragged the arc and flew over, smashing on the position of the national army.
In an instant, the earth shook and the rumbling sound was deafening.
In a short period of time, the second squadron of the Japanese army has been assembled and the weapons and equipment have been assembled, and quickly launched an attack on the second line of defense of the main company of the 160th battalion, the second direction under the continuous blows of the Japanese mortars, soon became devastated, and there were screams everywhere, the 160th battalion basically had no medical conditions, only dirty bandages were used to bandage these wounded for simple bandaging, but the consequence was that the wound eventually festered, caused inflammation, and died.
The scholar's arm was scratched by a cannonball, and piercing blood flowed everywhere, and his arm was soaked with blood.
Zheng Dayong was holding the Czech style, saw the blood on the scholar's arm, and hurriedly said: "You are injured, I will see if it is serious." ”
He put the Czech style away, touched the scholar's side, carefully tore the clothes on the scholar's arm with a bayonet, and when he saw the bloody wound, his brow couldn't help but wrinkle.
"This, what to do!?" It was the first time for Zheng Dayong to face such an unexpected situation, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Just tie my wounds." The scholar had a throbbing pain, but he was much older than Zheng Dayong, and he had to play the role of a big brother and endured the pain of the wound all the time.
