"Remember, we are opera singers, and we need to sing with the effect of big painted faces. However, each person should not shoot more than three times in the same shooting position. Remember the rules in the training."
Sneak attacks are different from ordinary battles in trenches. If you stay in one shooting position and fire continuously, you will attract not only bullets but also artillery shells. The best way is to constantly switch between several battle positions.
As the guard company platoon leader Yao Guangtian led the team, he went from pit to pit and told each soldier what they should do.
He ran to the sniper scout again,
"Brothers, I'll leave the machine gunners and grenade launchers to you. We don't have many brothers. If the enemy fights back soon, there may be casualties."
There can be no casualties in a battle, but this is the rule of the paratrooper school. How to reduce casualties is one of the officers' assessments.
For snipers, those who adhere to the German sniper's "nine hides and one strike" style of play are of course as slippery as a loach. But fighting in the dark is still somewhat dangerous.
After completing all arrangements, Yao Guangtian gave the order to start.
First, there was the shrill bugle that cut through the night like lightning,
Then the HMG 42mm machine gun suddenly fired, and its unique "ripping sound" was particularly obvious in the night.
Of course, this was not enough. There were soldiers from the logistics battalion who started shooting with captured Japanese weapons from a unit (squad). In addition, other soldiers from the reconnaissance company also fired short shots with their HP90s.
Of course these are trivial matters. The shepherds in the other direction turned the slings over their heads three times, and then threw grenades with impact fuses from a distance.
There were even soldiers from several barracks, holding small bamboo tubes made of Qianlihuo, lighting incense sticks and picking up large strings of firecrackers one by one.
As the HMG42 and the crooked handles made a "chug, chug" sound, and a dozen scattered HP90s shot out long tongues of flame, the Japanese in the position were immediately stunned.
Experienced officers often judge the number of attacking troops based on the number of enemy machine guns and the intensity of artillery fire when judging the enemy's attacking force at night.
Sure enough, including the short bursts fired by the HP90 soldiers of the reconnaissance company, the Japanese counted them as the number of machine guns. Now they counted almost twenty machine guns in the darkness.
A simple statistic is that the Thirty-sixth Division, which was a German weapons division, only had 179 light machine guns when it participated in the Songhu battlefield. The division had about 12,000 soldiers.
That is, about sixty-six soldiers have one machine gun. Of course, this also requires a little calculation of logistics, the difference between artillery and ordinary infantry.
What do the twenty light machine guns in front of me mean? This is definitely more than the strength of a battalion.
As for the grenades silently thrown by the sheepherd artillery team, there is no need to count them. The explosions are similar to those of pop beans.
Of course, a Japanese squadron is not afraid of an attack by a Guojun battalion. Even in a night battle, Japanese soldiers will not hesitate to believe that they are capable of defeating a Guojun battalion.
But it was not that almost half of the squadron was blinded by chili powder and choked in the trachea, nor was it to deal with the subordinates of the Four Elements Demon King. Frankly speaking, the Japanese army had been tortured by this Four Elements Demon King who loved to attack, and it was already a bit neurasthenic.
What made the squadron leader in the camp even more crazy was that all the field phone lines were cut off, and no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't get through to the higher-level command post.
They had no choice but to organize soldiers and try their best to hold on to the trenches.
"Shoot, shoot..."
The helpless squadron leader had no choice but to run rampant in the trench,
Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles were fired non-stop as long as they were available. Not only that, lighting eggs were also fired out of the camp one after another.
Although it was impossible to see anything clearly outside the camp through the gray-yellow smoke that would choke anyone to tears at any time. This was not important, as long as it deterred the other party from entering the camp.
It is impossible to go out to meet the enemy.
The Japanese squadron leader even dared to conclude that if he rushed out with his infantry, a group of tall demons holding long knives would rush out of the darkness.
You must know that those demons cannot be cut down by a cavalry regiment. According to the surviving cavalry, they will be fine if they kill the opponent with a sword. But when the opponent kills them with a sword, the cavalry on their side will be cut in half.
The most astonishing thing is that even horses can't outrun those guys. So how can these short Japanese soldiers under my command run faster than horses?
At the same time, Populus euphratica began to send calls towards the Yuhuatai artillery position, requesting the artillery battery for artillery support.
As long as there is artillery fire from the artillery company, I believe that the Japanese squadron in the camp will definitely request reinforcements. If the commander wants to play "encirclement the point and call for reinforcements", he will definitely succeed.
At this time, Hu Yang also thought of the mistake he made during the night raid.
Regardless of whether we want to encircle the site for reinforcements or not, the phone lines in this camp should be cut off first. The commander calls this information control. Simply put, it means that one's own side can communicate, but the enemy cannot.
And then there is...forget it, this is not the time to think about it, it's more serious to read the book a few more times when you go back.
After calling the artillery company for a long time, there was no artillery fire. At this time, Populus euphratica really felt numb. I don't know how I could have sung this drama to the level of "big face" without the artillery support from Yuhuatai.
Zhang Sixing, who was not far away, looked at each other and Hansen asked in German,
"What's going on? We can't call for artillery fire. What happened to the artillery battery of the 264th Brigade?"
"What else could it be? There are very few officers under the Chairman who are careless. It doesn't mean much. I just need to teach him a lesson when the time comes. But it's a bit difficult for Little Hu Yang."
Turning his head around in confusion, Populus euphratica observed the surrounding area.
People wearing new-style steel helmets turned the helmet covers over during night attacks, and their heads were supported by the cloth strips inside, as if they were "mushrooms."
When they were attacked at night by Zhang Sixing, they made temporary "mushroom heads" so that they could not distinguish between friend and foe.
But now, the platoon commander he sent there didn't know what happened, and the artillery company didn't respond to the call at all.
I thought of the cloth strips on the helmet, and how those strips looked messy in the wind, a bit like a pile of grass...
The wind, by the way, was quite windy tonight, and my position was right on top of the enemy camp. Hu Yang, who wanted to understand, hurriedly called his men,
"Quickly, fly the kite out quickly, put it in the enemy's camp and light the lamp for him."
After a while, several self-inflating gas lanterns hanging on the kites arrived above the Japanese camp. As the external sunshade was pulled down by another rope, bright lights instantly filled the entire camp.
No matter what others did, the squadron leader in this camp immediately panicked.
You must know that the Demon King of the Four Elements really likes "lighting sky lanterns", especially when fighting at night. With this little thing, he can make others stay in the light while he himself hides in the dark.
What does it mean when the sky lanterns are on now? Is the enemy about to launch a general attack?
This incident couldn't help but make his hair stand on end. What was even more disgusting was that all the phone lines were cut off, so even if he wanted to call for artillery reinforcements, there was no way.
He shivered with excitement and suddenly shouted as if he remembered something,
"Quickly, launch the signal flare quickly and tell the supporting troops that we are under fierce attack. Most of the people's eyes were blurred by the pepper powder. Please request immediate reinforcements."
