56 The most effective target of the Eighth Route Army to practice marksmanship: the locust army, the living kind.
"What do you want to do?"
Nan Shangzhi hid in the main body of the Xiazhuang stronghold, looking at the outside to surround the stronghold layer by layer, and began to build a defensive position, his face was solemn.
He's found out.
The Tuba Road surrounded outside not only had a very large number of troops, more than 600 people, but also had strong firepower, equipped with a large number of machine guns, submachine guns, and even a lot of grenadiers and mortars.
The strength is very strong.
The squadron under his command, without reinforcements, had little possibility during the day if they wanted to break through.
"Seemingly, it's going to surround us for a long time?"
The deputy squadron leader's tone was equally solemn.
The Xiazhuang stronghold was built on a high position, which was suitable for guarding, and it was difficult to raid, but it also brought a problem, the water had to be transported from the wells and ponds under the mountain.
Because of the heavy rain not long ago, he organized people to clean the reservoir by hand, and the plan was to replenish the water storage today, so now only two days' consumption water is stored in the base.
Even if you save it, you can only last for four days.
And what's even more troublesome is that
Because the Xiazhuang stronghold was deep into the mountainous area, there were no telephone lines, and the communication with the brigade headquarters was all carried out by cavalry and communication troops, and now that the Tuba Road surrounded them, the communication troops could not get out at all.
can only wait for the brigade headquarters to take the initiative to find out the situation here.
The liaison between the Xiazhuang stronghold and the Liaoxian Brigade Headquarters is that the stronghold sends a signal corps to report the situation to the headquarters every other day, and if the headquarters does not see the signal corps at the stronghold for three consecutive days, it will take the initiative to send a signal corps to investigate the situation.
Count the day's journey.
In other words, it would take four days for the brigade headquarters to find out that the Xiazhuang stronghold was surrounded.
Then it will take another day to gather troops and go to the stronghold, and if the Tuba Road is blocked for a while, it will be six or seven days, or even longer.
This gang in front of him is obviously not easy to deal with, even if the brigade headquarters wants to defeat, it will not be particularly easy, and it may even have to ask for reinforcements from other counties.
The thought of not having water to drink for a week,
The deputy squadron leader of the devil felt his scalp tingle.
If you don't eat for a week, you can still resist, but if you don't drink water for a week, there will definitely be a big problem.
"Eight Ga Ya Road."
Nan Shangzhi was also aware of this situation, he looked through the shooting hole, looked at the Eighth Route Army outside, which was building a position a few hundred meters away, and suddenly became angry, howling:
"Shoot, shoot!"
Beside him, a crooked machine gunner immediately pulled the trigger.
The position constructed by the second battalion was very cautious, and it was also 300 meters away from the edge of the stronghold of the devil's Xiazhuang, and at this time, the male Shangzhi was located in the base body, and it was more than 500 meters away from the position constructed by the first battalion.
At this distance, the accuracy of machine gun strafing was very low.
Da Da Da · ·
The bullet hit the edge of the position in the distance, only to splash a series of debris of dirt.
Smack··
At the same time, there were also bullets that came from the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side and hit around the shooting holes, but the main body of the stronghold of the concrete and bluestone brick structure was very hard, and the bullets only left a few craters.
"Stop shooting."
After thirty rounds of ammunition were fired in one bucket, O Kami also calmed down a lot and ordered the machine gun to stop firing.
The Imperial Army was not rich in bullets either.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet suddenly burst in through the shooting hole, hitting the machine gunner's door, and after a crisp sound, the machine gunner completely collapsed in front of the shooting hole, silent.
Blood dripped from his forehead, wetting the crooked handle's unique bucket.
Looking at the machine gunner lying on the ground, O Kamichi's face turned a little pale.
If the bullet is slightly off, he is the one who dies.
···
On the position of the second battalion outside the main body of the Xiazhuang stronghold.
"Didn't hit."
Several fighters with shooting talent selected by the second battalion, armed with 98k with scopes, were aiming at the firing hole 500 meters away, and they were firing continuously.
Wang Xikui was beside him, holding a telescope and teaching:
"At this distance, the bullet shoots out, it is an arc, and it falls a lot."
"You also have to consider the wind deviation."
"If you want to hit, you have to calculate the amount of advance."
As a top recruit, Ma Rongshun of the second company of the third battalion was also sent to temporarily join the second battalion, and there were more than 100 recruits who came with him.
The meaning of the regiment headquarters is to strengthen the strength of the second battalion at the same time, but also to let these top recruits learn and strengthen their actual combat experience.
At this time, Ma Rongshun held the devil telescope captured in the battle of Songjiazhuang, looked at the shooting hole of the devil's stronghold in the distance, and looked at the bullets that kept falling around the devil's shooting hole, he couldn't help but swallow his throat.
The magnification of the telescope in his hand is the same as that of the scope of these sniper rifles, which is quadruple.
But at this time, from a distance of 500 meters, he looked over, and the devil's shooting hole was only a little bit larger, smaller than the ocean placed more than ten meters away.
These people can almost hit.
He is also a person who has participated in three actual battles, and he knows very well how difficult it is to hit a target 500 meters away.
In fact, in an independent regiment, if you can continuously hit a human target 150 meters away and do not miss the target, you can be called an excellent shooter.
And the dozen or so guys in front of him, each of them was able to hit the shooting hole of the devil's stronghold five hundred meters away with relative accuracy, although they did not penetrate the shooting hole and hit the stronghold, but the deviation was within one meter.
"It seems that we have to train and shoot well."
Ma Rongshun himself is also an excellent marksman of the 3rd Battalion, and can continuously hit a humanoid target 200 meters away, even with a sniper rifle with a scope, he can continuously hit a humanoid target 300 meters away.
For every hundred meters of shooting distance, the difficulty of shooting increases exponentially.
Compared with this group of people, he sensed his own shortcomings.
Very poor far away.
Keep up the good work.
Then, Ma Rongshun saw that Wang Xikui, the top of the regiment who carried out the combat mission of attacking and harassing the Xiye squadron, killed the devil machine gunner in the shooting hole with one shot.
"Awesome!"
His eyes widened and he spat out.
Now he has a 1,000-round shot with live ammunition, and from a distance of 300 meters, even if it is a distance of 350 meters, even if he uses a sniper rifle, it is difficult to hit the human target.
And this, at a distance of 500 meters, killed the head of the devil machine gunner with one shot.
···
"Go on!"
"Go on."
"Free and easy."
"The little devil will hit when he shows his head."
"One hundred rounds per person."
Wang Xikui gave the order for free fire.
For the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, there is nothing better than a devil, and a living devil, a better marksmanship practice target, I believe that every soldier of the Eighth Route Army can play the strongest strength.
And quickly improve the shooting technique in the time of missing the target again and again.
"To you."
Wang Xikui also issued sniper rifles with scopes and 100 rounds of ammunition to the 10 recruits who came to observe the exhibition.
With Wang Xikui's order, more than a dozen novice snipers who participated in the training, as well as ten recruits and good seedlings, suddenly got up happily, took guns one after another, walked around the position, and gave the devil a shot from time to time.
The shooting accuracy of these novices was far worse than that of Wang Xikui, and the position built by the second battalion was also 300 meters away from the outer position of the devils, and even more 500 meters away from the main body of the devil's stronghold.
Plus the devil is doing a good job of concealment.
At this distance, it is often two hundred shots to hit one shot.
But it can't stand the large number of people, many guns, and many bullets.
In this siege mission, Li Yunlong received a total of 1.4 million rounds of ammunition, and 10,000 rounds could be distributed to each devil's head, so Wang Xikui highlighted an arrogance and let the good seedlings selected by the second and third battalions shoot freely.
In the face of the continuous shooting of more than 30 cold guns, the devils in the Xiazhuang stronghold suddenly felt a deep chill.
If you poke your head a little, or even pass through the shooting hole and poke out the binoculars, you may be shot, especially the devils on the outer positions of the Xiazhuang stronghold, who are even more miserable.
Male Zhizhi once organized a counterattack.
Shoot each other cold.
Although the shooting skills of the locust army are good, the independent regiment participating in the cold gun are all elite seedlings, no worse than the locust army, and the average level is much higher, plus the weapon performance is not comparable, the number of people is not comparable, and the number of bullets is not comparable.
···
"Are there any security posts in the surrounding villages?"
Outside the position, inside the temporary command post, Li Yunlong asked Ding Shenggui, deputy commander of the second battalion of the independent regiment.
"Guards have been set up in the five surrounding villages."
"Checkpoints have also been set up at all the intersections leading to the county."
Ding Shenggui replied.
"Okay."
"I'll go back to the regiment first, and then you will command the second battalion."
Li Yunlong said.
The purpose of handing over to Ding Shenggui for command is to train battalion-level officers, and judging from the current situation, the independent regiment still needs to be expanded, and more outstanding officers are needed.
After all, there are only 3,500 people in the Independent Regiment at present, and there are 5,000 people in Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment next door.
And although the devil was slower to react than expected, a powerful attack was bound to come, and the independent regiment also needed more troops to deal with it.
As for blocking the upcoming Liaoxian devil reinforcements, it was Shen Quan of the first battalion who was in charge, and Shen Quan was also in charge of commanding.
And after having a walkie-talkie, he can also know the situation on the front line at the regimental headquarters at any time.
"Yes."
Ding Shenggui is also an old Red Army, and he saluted in response.
"Remember, besiege but not attack, if the devil dares to come out, give me a hard beating, but resolutely not attack."
"Be careful of devils breaking through at night and using more mines."
Li Yunlong repeatedly admonished.
It's not that I'm afraid of a strong attack, it's not that I'm afraid of casualties, and I'm not willing to attack, but it's that there's no need to attack.
Just like the current Independent Regiment, he still practiced bayonet skills hard, but he also gave an order to prohibit the use of bayonet tactics unless absolutely necessary.
"Yes!"
Ding Shenggui nodded.
After the instructions, Li Yunlong returned to the independent regiment and continued to preside over the work of the regiment, leading the team to train the troops and train new officers and cadres.
···
"Nani,"
Until May 20th.
Only then did the Beijing Brigade of Liao County learn the news that the Xiazhuang stronghold was surrounded.
"Assemble."
"Support the Xiazhuang stronghold."
The captain of the Beijing Brigade immediately gathered his troops and prepared to relieve the siege of the Xiazhuang stronghold.
