"Sir, how about I take someone out to lay some helmet mines?"
After the last battle, the helmet detonator had completed the process of becoming a myth in the minds of all the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse. They all felt that as long as the helmet detonator was enough, they would not be afraid of any number of Japanese soldiers.
According to Xie Jinyuan's order, Captain Tao, who was officially following Zhang Sixing, suggested in a low voice.
Holding a telescope in his hand and observing the battlefield carefully, Zhang Sixing shook his head.
"It's not necessary. What do you think I do by organizing the Sheep Artillery Team? And when did you see mines laid under the enemy's nose?"
Now with the addition of the reinforced pistol platoon led by Captain Tao, the defensive force on the first floor has become quite strong.
Li Jixian was sent by Zhang Sixing to command the Sheepherds Artillery Team. This can be seen from the attentiveness of the old smoker Li Youtian.
"Sir, come on...come on..."
Seeing him dragging him, Zhang Sixing didn't understand what he was asking him to see, so he had no choice but to follow him. Hansen Raul and Company Commander Tao knew immediately that the old smoker Li Youtian was going to give Zhang Sixing a small start.
Sure enough, in a specially prepared room on the first floor, there was a small bamboo table, which looked like it had been picked from the military camp.
There are three dishes on the table, and there is half a barrel of rice next to it. From the smell, you can tell that it was specially steamed for Zhang Sixing.
"Sir, the kids caught some fish in the river and made spicy crispy fish, and four pig's trotters to make Zhuangyuan's trotters, plus steamed pork with rice flour. They are all famous dishes in Guizhou."
Captain Tao swallowed his saliva when he saw it and said,
"I'm talking about Lao Yandian, you are so eager to flatter people, our group didn't even get to eat three dishes..."
Just as he was talking, the cook in the military camp came with a small basin of sour soup.
"There is also a soup made with pickled cabbage. Sir, try it and see if you are used to it."
Li Youtian, an old smoker who had long been regarded as a veteran in the army, was so thick-skinned that he turned a deaf ear to Captain Tao's words.
"The food is delicious and delicious. It's not a bad meal for Lao Yandai, but don't do this in the future."
Looking at Zhang Sixing's face, the old smoker Li Youtian knew that he was trying to flatter him. Then Zhang Sixing's next words kicked the old smoker Li Youtian to hell.
"Besides, your Jixian is in a dangerous place in the Sheep Shepherd Artillery Corps. When the Japanese find out that he is the commander, they will definitely use cannons to blow him up. Go and tell him to be careful."
As soon as he heard that the place was going to be attacked by the Japanese, Li Youtian was stunned for a moment and turned around and ran upstairs without even thinking about pulling down the big pipe.
Seeing that no one in the miscellaneous barracks was there, Captain Tao, who understood, said,
"Sir, he just wants to curry favor with you, so why bother to scare him."
Hansen-Raul, who didn't understand the twists and turns, saw the No. 1 pick's trotter and couldn't help but grab a pig's trotter and chew it.
Zhang Sixing, who picked up a bowl of rice and chopsticks, shook his head.
"If the army wants to have combat effectiveness, it must be united. There should never be any abuse of public opinion for private purposes. Besides, I am not lying to him. The stronger the firepower output on the battlefield, the more vulnerable it will be to the enemy's attack.
.”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and tasted it.
"Yes, the cook under Lao Yandian is not bad at his craftsmanship. Captain Tao, you can also eat together."
This meal was absolutely satisfying. Not only did he finish all three dishes, but Zhang Sixing also ate three bowls of rice, leaving not even the soup base left.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese did not launch another attack, Zhang Sixing asked people to go to the top of the building to guard and replace all the sharpshooters.
What satisfied him was that there were no casualties among the twenty or so sharpshooters in the previous battle.
"Now I will teach you how to make ghillie suits."
"Auspicious clothes, wear something very auspicious?"
As soon as he spoke, a soldier immediately asked a smart question.
Guan Shijie, who was running to the side to listen to the excitement, went up and gave the soldier a kick in the butt.
"Sir, what are you talking about? Listen carefully."
When he saw that he was not an officer of his own army, but an officer of the Northeast Army, the soldier had to say something stern. Company Commander Tao on the side also gave him a kick with a dark face, and now no one dared to speak.
"Sir, I've compiled a good website, what are you going to do?"
Luo Mingyang, the deputy battalion commander, came over with a few boys and girls carrying some nets made of fine hemp ropes and asked urgently.
"Bashi, give the nets to them."
The sharpshooters who took the net were all confused and didn't understand what the net had to do with the ghillie suit.
"German snipers pay attention to nine points of hiding and one point of attack. A good sniper has nine points in concealment and only one point in shooting. Do you understand this?"
On the sidelines, Hansen Raul's blue eyes widened as he listened to this god-like theory. He could guarantee that there was no such theory in the German army.
In fact, that happened after he came to China, and the sniper textbooks were all written by Zhang Sixing. After all, people’s research and understanding of sniper tactics in the future will be much more thorough than those in World War II.
"You can tie anything that can protect you to this net. What about branches and leaves in the woods, or on the roof of a building?"
Hearing Zhang Sixing's question, the sharpshooters couldn't help but focus on him.
Strips of blue-gray cloth in different shades are most difficult to recognize on the cement floor.
"Hiding is the first priority, so I ask you to take a shot and change to a sniper position. Then after you get to the roof, you have to find more shooting places for yourself. The important thing is that it is not easy from the outside.
Where you see it.”
Looking at the watch, Zhang Sixing said again,
"Don't mix with the infantry, you will easily be attacked by heavy enemy fire. Also, the net is not for you to use as a cloak, it must be worn with the helmet. Also..."
After glancing around at the future snipers whose eyes were full of curiosity, he continued,
"I estimate that the Japanese will be more fully prepared for the next battle. You don't have to go to the battlefield in batches. Keep ten people on the roof and the rest will find shelter."
As far as sniper tactics are concerned, there is no doubt that only the Soviet Army and the German Army in World War II had complete sniper systems with different tactical objectives.
The German army emphasized sniping at important targets at medium and long distances, while the Soviet army emphasized fire support at medium and short distances.
As for the United States, the abundant firepower during World War II ensured that they had little need for professional snipers. When a sniper was discovered, a few 82- or 120-millimeter artillery shells would be fired. If that failed, they would be directly covered by artillery fire.
"Remember, ordinary infantrymen are not your target. In addition, the way you carry ammunition is very problematic. It is hung on the waist like ordinary infantrymen, and it is too easy to be exposed when picking up bullets. As for how to carry the ammunition with minimum movement, you can consider it yourself."
As Zhang Sixing finished making arrangements, the sharpshooters dispersed to make preparations.
Looking at their backs, Zhang Sixing hoped that a few of them could survive this battle and create a new era for the Chinese army to produce real snipers in the future.
