Zhou Wen heard the sound and looked in the direction of Sanjiazi Town, and saw a dozen Japanese soldiers rushing out of the town, one of whom was carrying a crooked machine gun.
Zhou Wen said softly: "Be careful of the Japanese shooting randomly. They don't know our specific location, but they will conduct exploratory shooting."
Sure enough, after less than 3 minutes, the group of Japanese soldiers stopped and lay down on the spot, ready to shoot.
After making sign language gestures with a few Japs lying on the rails, the Japs machine gunner set up his machine gun and started shooting in the direction of Zhou Wen and the others.
"Ta da...ta da...ta da da..."
It can be seen that the Japs machine gunner's operation is good, and the shooting of the machine gun is very rhythmic. He is worthy of being an old Japs.
Although the Japanese army roughly knew the direction from which the bullets were coming, trying to hit the target in such a wide range was tantamount to wishful thinking.
The purpose of the Japanese army was also very clear, which was to induce the shooters to shoot again, or to scare the enemy away with machine guns.
But how could Zhou Wen be fooled by the Japanese? Of course he remained motionless and didn't fire, just watching the bullets flying around dozens or even hundreds of meters away from him, or hitting the enemy.
There was a popping sound on a few sparse dead tree trunks.
At this time, a few Japanese soldiers lying on the railway track also took courage and started shooting in this direction with rifles.
But Zhou Wen remained unmoved and turned a blind eye to these targets that could be easily knocked down.
After a few more minutes, the Japanese machine gunner had fired dozens of bullets with the help of the loader. Only then did a Japanese soldier who looked like Cao waved a plaster flag on his bayonet, and the gunfire gradually stopped.
Come down.
At this time, Xu Dacheng, who had been observing the direction of the town entrance with a telescope, reminded again: "There are ghosts coming out of the town again."
Zhou Wen slightly moved the G-31 semi-automatic rifle wrapped in white cloth. From the scope, he saw another group of Japanese soldiers running out of the town, and they did not join up with the Japanese soldiers in front. They were four or five hundred meters away from the town.
The distance stops.
At this time, Zhou Wen saw an officer in the Japanese army, leading a machine gun team and two Japanese soldiers bent over and ran under a big tree to set up a machine gun, while he half-crouched and looked over here with a telescope.
These Japs were indeed very thieves. They did not rush to these five Japs to investigate the situation. Instead, they communicated with each other in sign language or waved plaster flags from a distance.
The Japanese army is now divided into three groups, with a distance of nearly 200 meters between each group. The advantage of this deployment is that it can share the attention of the sneak attackers, making you hesitate to decide which side to deal with first.
Once the specific position of the enemy is determined, you can divide your troops to outflank them at any time to put pressure on the enemy on the battlefield.
It has to be said that this tactic is very effective against sneak attacks by small groups of enemies. Maybe these Japs fought against the anti-Japanese volunteers in the Northeast this way, and they are already very experienced.
From Zhou Wen's professional perspective, the general anti-Japanese guerrillas were at a disadvantage in terms of marksmanship, equipment, and firepower. When encountering a battle like the Japanese, there really was no better way than retreating in time.
Unfortunately, what they encountered today was Zhou Wen, perhaps the most evil sniper in the world today.
What Zhou Wen was thinking about was not whether he could hit these Japs. As long as he was within the effective range of his rifle, there was no target that he could not hit.
What he was thinking about was how to mobilize the Japanese troops a little further away, so that after he turned on the sniper mode, the Japanese would have no chance to escape back to the town.
At this time, Xu Dacheng also recognized the number of Japanese troops. In addition to the five Japanese lying on the track, there was a detachment of 13 Japanese in the middle. The officer brought out a semi-infantry detachment and a grenade detachment, plus
There are 29 officers in this group.
In this case, the Japs stationed in the town were a small team. According to the Japanese army's establishment of 54 people in a small team, apart from the Japs who were killed, there should be a few people left in the town.
Listening to Xu Dacheng's report, Zhou Wen was still quietly waiting for the opportunity to shoot.
Not long after, a Japs shouted flags where the Japanese officers were, and the Japs on the railway track began to apply medicine and bandages to the wounded man. Then they all stood up with their waists hunched over, and the four Japs spread out in the direction of Zhou Wen and the others.
ran over, while the Japanese machine gunners in the other two places were on full alert with their machine guns.
Just after these Japs ran a few dozen meters without being shot, the Japs officer waved his hand, and a detachment of 13 Japanese soldiers also surrounded them in this direction from a few hundred meters away. The other Japs began to nervously raise their rifles.
, be ready to shoot at any time.
When Xu Dacheng saw this kind of battle, although he was full of confidence in Zhou Wen, he still tightened his grip on the Suomi submachine gun in his hand.
Zhou Wen turned a blind eye to the rushing Japanese troops. Even at 200 meters, it was not easy for them to find their carefully disguised sniper position. His primary target now was the Japanese machine gunners. The only person who was slightly threatening to them in this battle was
These two machine guns of the Japanese army.
As for the Japanese grenadier, Zhou Wen simply ignored it. This kind of Taisho ten-year-old grenade with a range of only 170 meters, how could Zhou Wen let you advance to this distance?
But now one of the Japanese machine guns is set up at a distance of about 600 meters, and the other is at a farther distance of 800 meters. Since it is almost dark now, even if Zhou Wen has superhuman vision, it will be affected to some extent.
It's not entirely possible to kill the enemy with one shot.
So he was still waiting to see if the Japanese officers would let supporting fire follow up without the infantry in front being attacked.
Because according to basic infantry tactics, the machine gun accompanying the infantry attack is an important fire output unit and cannot be too far away from the attacking infantry. Moreover, the dimness before nightfall has a greater impact on the Japanese army's sight.
Sure enough, after the two groups of Japanese troops advanced about 100 meters, they squatted on the spot and were on guard. The Japanese officer waved his hand, and the machine gunners and infantrymen on both sides also moved forward, followed by eight Japanese troops from the grenade detachment carrying grenade launchers.
Three grenade launchers moved forward.
The distance between the Japanese front and rear troops was kept at about 150 meters.
"You are indeed well-trained!"
Zhou Wen muttered silently in his heart, but he already gently raised his rifle.
It should be said that Zhou Wen put a lot of thought into choosing the sniper position. The trees on both sides of the railway near the town are sparse and the terrain is relatively flat, but there are many small mounds and slopes.
Although it is spring now, the snow on the ground has not melted away completely. The entire wilderness is covered with residual snow and loess. Zhou Wen and his team's white cloaks have basically blended into the earth. It is impossible to detect them unless they look carefully at close range.
