As Guiguang was occupied by Fengjiang troops, the Tang Empire's advisory group moved its headquarters here from Fengjiang.
Luo Xiao is currently planning to send a force from Guiguang to attack Wanliang, threaten Hezhe from the south, and relieve some pressure on the Fengjiang battlefield.
However, at this time, many new changes occurred on the Fengjiang battlefield, which forced him to hold a meeting again to discuss the new issues that emerged on the Fengjiang battlefield.
At the beginning of the meeting, an officer in charge of military training introduced the basic situation. In the Fengjiang Civil War, the Tang Empire actually sent some personnel to participate in the war directly or indirectly.
"Taking some opportunities to train troops is a decision that has been made long ago by the superiors. This time we are mainly sending here for training. Apart from middle-level commanders, there are only some special troops." The officer gave examples one by one: "These include
Snipers, surveying and mapping school shooters, communications troops, ground crews, etc., except for snipers, these personnel generally do not participate in front-line operations."
Through the Fengjiang Civil War, the Tang Empire was also cultivating new talents and allowing many special forces and sniper teams to maintain good combat effectiveness.
Many new types of individual soldier equipment were also given to these personnel for testing, including new sniper rifles, more precise sights, smaller batteries, individual soldier communication equipment, etc.
In addition, the Tang Empire's logistics support troops also shared a considerable part of the Fengjiang Army's dispatching, transportation and distribution work. These tasks trained new logistics support troops and trained a large number of logistics support commanders.
If you don't get hands-on with many things and actually participate in them, you won't be able to truly understand them.
Therefore, it is very important to let these rookies in the logistics force harm Fengjiang's troops and mercenaries so that they can accumulate experience and ensure that there will be no problems in the logistics operation of the Tang Empire's own troops in the future.
Luo Xiao looked at the officer and asked, "So, the ones most likely to suffer casualties are the snipers."
"Yes!" The officer nodded, and then continued to add: "At this meeting, I brought some bad news. Some snipers from the Dahua Empire may have appeared on the Fengjiang front line. Our snipers
You must be extra careful when doing activities.”
Hearing what the officer said, Luo Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked for confirmation: "Oh? Is it pure intelligence, or is there data?"
There are generally only two situations in which you know about the enemy's troop movements: the first is when the intelligence department provides corresponding information, and the second is when you actually encounter the enemy's troops on the battlefield.
When Luo Xiao asked this, he was actually asking whether he had heard that enemy snipers had arrived at the front line, or whether he had actually encountered a sniper and killed someone.
The officer in charge of training directly replied: "We have data. In the past three days, the death rate of Fengjiang Army's snipers has increased significantly. What can be confirmed so far is that 7 of them were killed by the opponent's snipers.
.”
Luo Xiao seemed to be still confirming. He wanted to know whether the opponent was really killed by a sniper, or whether he was killed by the enemy's ordinary troops: "Killed with one shot?"
"Yes, in most cases they kill with one shot." The officer gave a relatively accurate answer: "The Fengjiang snipers who died in battle were all trained by our people. Although their level is not very good, they are better than ordinary infantrymen.
It’s still not easy to kill them.”
Luo Xiao nodded and ordered: "Remind our sniper team to be more vigilant during combat! Find these difficult enemy snipers and deal with them."
"Yes! Got it!" the officer stood at attention and saluted in response.
…
"Cao Fei! Here comes the work!" Walking to Cao Fei who was wiping his weapon, his observer threw a few documents on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
The sniper team has its own resting camp area. Although the facilities are very simple, it is a relatively quiet and safe place on the front line.
This is a reinforced bunker with two beds, a table, gas lighting, and even a wooden door for privacy at the exit.
Ordinary soldiers would not have such a considerate stronghold, let alone so many high-quality supplies piled in the corner. According to the supply level of the Tang Empire, snipers received top-notch battlefield supplies among infantry.
If it weren't for logistical supply difficulties, the snipers would have two packs of cigarettes, four chocolates, some candies and other additional supplies every week, and the infantry's instant noodles and other foods would all be replaced with cans or beautifully packaged "prepared dishes."
This kind of pre-prepared dish is not the kind of high-tech work, but a mixture of vegetables and meat that does not taste very good, but is quite nutritious. It only needs to be cooked before it is eaten, which is very convenient.
Compared with infantry, sniper teams should have their own rest room on the front line as a standard, so that they can recover their strength and study tactics.
In Fengjiang, the snipers of the Tang Empire were treated better. They could even enjoy a week's vacation directly in Fengjiang after a week of fighting.
Most of the time, the job of the snipers in the Tang Empire was to train Fengjiang snipers. Only when they thought they should become familiar with the battlefield environment, they would perform certain advanced sniper missions.
Under normal circumstances, the sniper tasks of the Tang Empire, from high to low, are: detect enemy troop movements, guide artillery attacks, snipe enemy high-value targets, eliminate enemy snipers...
It can be seen from this that in the eyes of the snipers of the Tang Empire, their own shooting priority was quite low.
Cao Fei, who was maintaining his expensive sniper rifle, put down the tools in his hands and looked at the documents on the table: "Huh? Is there a mission?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Not only is there a mission, it is also a big mission! Some enemy snipers have appeared on the front line recently, and the people above asked us to eliminate these snipers."
The observer said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he grabbed his assault rifle that was leaning on the table and inspected it carefully.
Cao Fei regained his energy. After being a sniper for so many years, he really enjoyed this hunter-like life: "Really or not?"
His observer replied while fiddling with his weapons: "Really! More than twenty snipers on Toyue's side have died."
"They are still some powerful guys." Upon hearing this, Cao Fei felt that the matter itself was more interesting.
The observer also agreed: "Isn't it true? The disciples we taught have suffered a loss."
They still know the Fengjiang snipers they taught very well. Although these Fengjiang snipers are still rookies, there is still a gap between the rookies.
It seems that the opponent's snipers must have several very powerful characters. Otherwise, they would not have killed so many Toyoe colleagues in a short period of time.
"Let's go! Go meet these colleagues for a while!" Cao Fei wiped his hands, walked to the bed and started to pack his things.
The observer also began to stuff food and some spare tools into his backpack: "The boss said, be careful!"
This is a game without resurrection, so everyone knows that they must be careful. You only live once, and any small mistake will cost you death.
After sorting out his ghillie suit, Cao Fei put something similar to a rag on his body. His observer also put on his ghillie suit, and the two rags walked out of the bunker where they were hiding.
.
Fengjiang City behind them was still billowing with smoke. The Dahua Empire's advance in the past few days had pushed the front line to less than 11 kilometers away from Fengjiang City.
Zhao Chen had to say that he still had two tricks up his sleeve. While he was sending more troops to Wanliang to stabilize his flanks, he was also trying hard to invade Fengjiang City and change the situation of this war.
Since the distance is already so close, many artillery pieces from the Great China Empire can bombard the city of Fengjiang.
Zhao Yu, who was frightened in the city, no longer mentioned driving away the Dahua Empire's artillery, because recently even the 150mm Dahua Empire artillery was able to fire shells into Fengjiang City.
Cao Fei walked step by step in the trench holding his rifle. Next to their bunker was an anti-aircraft gun position from the Dahua Empire. There were more than a dozen 76 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. These artillery were purchased from the Lions Empire.
It's all old outdated technology.
You should know that all the anti-aircraft guns in Fengjiang were moved near Fengjiang Airport. The artillery recently deployed near the city were purchased from abroad. Most of these artillery are old models and the price is not cheap.
When passing a machine gun position covering these anti-aircraft guns, Officer Fengjiang, who was already familiar with Cao Fei and the others, said hello to them.
They were about 4 kilometers away from the front line and had to pass through many trenches. When they reached the place only 1 kilometer away from the actual firefighting area, they had to move forward carefully.
Not only do you have to be wary of possible enemy forces, but you also have to be wary of extremely nervous friendly forces. Dressed like them, it is not impossible to encounter an idiot and shoot them directly when he is nervous.
Identification of friend and foe on the battlefield has always been a big problem, especially in battlefields like Fengjiang: it is not just a matter of clothing, but also a variety of races.
Dwarves, goblins and elves all wear M35 steel helmets, but those who do not wear M35 steel helmets are not necessarily enemies: the snipers of the Tang Empire have their own composite helmets, and their shapes are different from the M35 steel helmets.
Therefore, you must be extra careful in everything. If you die in the hands of your own people, it would be really unfair.
