Another corpse appeared, causing the shadow of death to once again hang over the hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.
"Baga, these bastards Tubalu, haven't they left yet?"
The Japanese squadron leader was furious and asked the sentries on the top floor of the turret to scout around, but no one was found. They could only roughly judge the direction from which the previous gunfire came.
The Japanese on the turret fought back with rifles for a while, but to no avail, so they had to cease fire angrily.
Looking at the killed Japanese sentry, the puppet company commander who accompanied him was a little frightened. From around ten o'clock last night until dawn, these Tubal Roads have been harassing the stronghold. During this period, there were three Japanese sentries and two Imperial Association soldiers.
An army soldier was shot to death by Tubalu who was hiding in secret.
"Taijun, there must be sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army lurking around here. The marksmanship of these sharpshooters is terrifying. They can kill people from a distance of several hundred meters."
As soon as the puppet company commander spoke, the roaring Japanese squadron leader subconsciously took a few steps back and hid his entire body behind the building.
Then came the sudden humiliation. It would be fine if there were really the main force of the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold, but if there were only a few sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army, it would make the entire stronghold panic, which is really unforgivable.
After the Japanese sentries confirmed that no main force of the Eighth Route Army was lurking around, the Japanese squadron leader immediately ordered to open the barbed wire fence of the stronghold and search around to find the lurking Eighth Route Army snipers.
"Captain, come out."
Looking at the Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the Japanese stronghold, the monk looked excited. Just last night, he secretly planted a few landmines outside the barbed wire fence at the exit of the Japanese stronghold.
Now, seeing the Japanese and puppet troops walking step by step towards the area where they laid mines, how could the monk not be excited?
Boom——
The specific location of the barbed wire fence that led the Japanese to the outside of the stronghold had been investigated by the monk during the day. The mines laid at the must-pass for the exit were very natural for the Japanese to step on.
In the violent explosion, three Japanese soldiers died on the spot, and four or five Japanese and puppet soldiers were injured by the mine fragments.
"There are mines!"
The first Japanese who was lucky enough to survive quickly fell to the ground, screaming in horror.
The Japanese squadron leader who was surrounded in the middle of the team was also frightened. Fortunately, he listened to the puppet company commander's words and did not go to the front.
"Pay attention to concealment and be careful of being raided by Tubal Road. Engineers will clear mines immediately!" the Japanese squadron leader issued the order.
Looking at the three Japanese soldiers who were clearing mines everywhere, the engineer monk prepared to draw his gun.
Kong Jie said: "Monk, with one shot, it's time for us to retreat."
"Yes!"
The monk responded and quickly set up the 50 cannon with the gun mount. After the adjustment was completed, he threw a shell into the barrel. With a bang, the gun popped out of the chamber, followed by a roar where the Japanese engineers were.
The area exploded.
This guy, Monk, is pretty good at gunnery now.
This was a precise round, and the shell exploded. Two of the three Japanese engineers were killed on the spot, and the other was seriously injured.
The rest of the Japanese were so frightened that their expressions changed, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting about enemy attack, and were on alert everywhere. Monk and Kong Jie took the opportunity to use the cover of the gentle slope to leave according to the planned evacuation route.
The Japanese squadron leader was stunned. Before he even left the stronghold, more than ten people were injured or killed.
How can we fight this battle?
In panic, the Japanese squadron leader who originally threatened to go out of the stronghold to search out the Eighth Route Army ordered the team to quickly collect the corpses of the Japanese and puppet troops and retreat to the stronghold.
Just be a coward.
Soon after, the evacuated Kong Jie and Monk met up with Huang Baiyang and his sniper team.
"How is the situation?" Kong Jie asked.
The members of the sniper team laughed together and reported on the combat situation last night.
"Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops in this stronghold have been tortured so hard by us that they haven't slept all night!"
"Across the stronghold, our sniper teams combined and killed more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops."
"The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the stronghold were so frightened that they all huddled in the stronghold after dawn and did not dare to show their heads."
The soldiers were chattering away, saying that the enemy-tiring tactics implemented last night made everyone fight very happily.
What's more important is the improvement of marksmanship. As Kong Jie said to the soldiers of the sniper platoon: "If you want to be a sniper, first of all, you have to grow into a sharpshooter. If you want to be a sharpshooter, in addition to talent, constant live-fire practice is also
Quite important.
To put it more bluntly, the sharpshooter drank bullets out of them.
Our Eighth Route Army is short of ammunition. We usually use wooden stakes and bullseyes to let you practice with live ammunition. That is too luxurious.
So I can only use the methods in front of me to take you to practice in actual combat.
Every shot you make should be understood and practiced, and you should strive to kill an enemy with every bullet while training your marksmanship."
"In the Ninth Company of our independent regiment, Comrade Li Wenjie, the original instructor of our Ninth Company, once proposed the grand goal of turning the entire company into sharpshooters."
"He set a rule that each soldier in the Ninth Company must record how many bullets he shot, how many Japanese and puppet soldiers he killed, and how many Japanese and puppet soldiers he injured. These are all to be recorded in order to spur the progress and growth of everyone's marksmanship."<
/p>
"When I introduce myself in the future, when I open my mouth, I will tell you who I am, how many bullets were used, how many Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers were killed and wounded in total. Listen to it, and it will make you angry when you say it."
From then on, the soldiers of the sniper platoon started training according to this idea.
Back in front of him, Kong Jie continued: "Everyone performed very well in the night attack last night and the task of exhausting the enemy. After dawn, our next task is to continue sneak attacks on the Japanese and puppet troops in various strongholds."
"It's just that the specific goal this time has changed. It is no longer to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, but to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops who walk out of the stronghold at any time. We have to make the Japanese and puppet soldiers understand that the only way to do this is to be a coward in the stronghold.
, they only have a way to survive. Once they leave the stronghold, there is only one way to die."
"I hope that our sniper platoon can become a nightmare in the hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Yes——"
The soldiers responded in unison, and then divided their teams into three sniper teams to perform their respective tasks.
Each team consists of three snipers and three observers. Of course, according to Kong Jie's requirements, the roles of observers and snipers must not only cooperate tacitly, but also be complementary and interchangeable.
The firepower configuration of each sniper team includes, in addition to the Type 44 rifle carried by the sniper, a grenade carried by the observer, and six artillery shells.
Counting this way, each team and three sniper teams performing this mission will have three grenade launchers, eighteen rounds of artillery shells, three Type 44 rifles, plus a crooked handle as fire support.
