The first thousand four hundred and thirty-three chapters actual combat sniper
While Yang Ling and others were training in full swing in the mountains of Enshi, Hubei Province, the sniper team soldiers had returned to the battlefield in Yichang under the leadership of sniper captain Zhang Hai.
The Chinese ** teams in the Sixth War Zone are still facing off on the front line outside Yichang. Although the large-scale firefights have stopped, small-scale conflicts are very frequent.
From time to time, the Japanese would send small-scale troops to penetrate the Chinese defenders' defense lines, and the Chinese troops would also take countermeasures against the Japanese.
On the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, small-scale, low-intensity battles break out every day, and there are casualties every day.
However, the Chinese ** team's defense line has built a deep position, and the Japs have also deployed heavy troops. Neither side can do anything to the other, and can only rely on this low-intensity battle to consume the other side during the confrontation.
The battlefield of this kind of confrontation is just suitable for actual combat training of snipers, so Yang Ling specially approved the sniper team Zhang Hai to lead the snipers to the confrontation front line in Yichang for actual combat training.
These snipers are all veterans. After some systematic training by Zhang Hai, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. What they need now is tempering in actual combat.
The arrival of Zhang Hai and his sniper team was very welcomed by the officers and soldiers who were confronting the Japs on the front line. There was no other reason. The Japs had good marksmanship. Soldiers were often shot coldly by the Japs. They had long wanted to retaliate, but their skills were inferior.
people.
Now the arrival of the professional sniper team can severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese and give them a bad breath.
The position chosen by sniper leader Zhang Hai and the others was on the front line of Xiaoxi Tower, because the front lines of both sides were intertwined near Xiaoxi Tower, and the vegetation was dense, which was suitable for their concealment.
"Our actual sniper attack this time was divided into two teams. I led one team and Vice Captain Han led the other team. We took turns to attack and always put a certain amount of pressure on the Japanese."
In their temporary camp, sniper Zhang Hai divided the snipers into two teams so that they could take turns and rest.
"Remember the skills I gave you. Shoot once and change the place. And you are not allowed to shoot unless you are absolutely sure. Killing the enemy is secondary. The first thing we must learn is to hide and protect ourselves."
Before going to the battlefield, Zhang Hai repeatedly warned these eager snipers not to underestimate the enemy.
"Each sniper team's sniping time is two days, and it rotates every two days. There is a simple map of the position here. You can find the sniper position by yourself."
As Zhang Hai spoke, he took out a simple blueprint and spread it out, asking the snipers to find their respective sniper positions and mark them. This was also a precaution in case someone died, so that they could at least find where the body was.
After some preparations, Zhang Hai led the first team of snipers to the position under the cover of darkness.
After arriving at the position, the sniper teams of the first team quickly spread out along the traffic trenches and ran towards their sniper positions. Zhang Hai took a new sniper Lu Wenen with him, and they formed a sniper team.
In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of these new snipers, each sniper group is now mixed, with the old snipers leading the new sniper groups.
Zhang Hai and the others groped forward in the dark trenches, and from time to time sentries hiding in the darkness of the trenches asked them for their passwords.
This section of the defense line guards a battalion on the Chinese side, with a company of troops at the forefront. Every soldier is lying in the trench more than ten meters apart, alerting the direction of the Japanese.
When they saw Zhang Hai and Lu Wen'en walking through the trenches, they were full of doubts, because the sniper rifles wrapped in oil cloth by Zhang Hai and others were too eye-catching.
"What kind of treasure are they holding wrapped in oilcloth?" A soldier asked in a low voice when he saw Zhang Hai and others walking behind.
A platoon leader who was hiding in the trench smoking a cigarette replied in a low voice: "I heard it's a sniper rifle, and it's expensive."
"It'll be good if they come, and the little devils won't dare to be arrogant anymore."
"I hope so."
...
Zhang Hai and his new sniper Lu Wenen quickly found a half-collapsed trench near the preset sniper position.
"Just right here." Zhang Hai pointed to the collapsed trench and said in a low voice.
The new sniper Lu Wenen also stopped and gently placed the package he was carrying on the ground.
Zhang Hai and Lu Wen'en used their shovels to dig out two skirmisher bunkers next to the collapsed trench, and then covered them with some weeds for camouflage.
Finally, a small shelter was set up with tarpaulin in the trench next to the skirmisher bunker. The tarpaulin could block both the sun and the rain.
After everything was tidied up, it was already late at night. Zhang Hai asked Lu Wenen to rest under the erected raincloth, while he moved the 98k sniper rifle out of the half-collapsed trench and began to guard the Japanese position.
The Japanese trenches were only two hundred meters away, but the Japanese trenches were dug so deep that it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Zhang Hai prayed that the view would be better during the day.
Zhang Hai had been observing the Japanese position on the opposite side until dawn but found no movement. After dawn, Lu Wenen replaced Zhang Hai and lay down at the shooting position to continue lurking.
It wasn't until noon that Lu Wen'en pushed Zhang Hai to signal that there was movement over there.
Zhang Hai climbed into the foxhole and looked at the Japanese side with a telescope, and found several helmets moving in the trench opposite.
Zhang Hai also took out his sniper rifle and aimed the muzzle at the Japanese swaying helmets.
"call out!"
Soon, a plume of white smoke suddenly rose from the Japanese trenches, and a shell roared past Zhang Hai and the others, and smashed into a bunker not far behind them.
With a loud bang, a bunker made of sandbags was blown open, and the sand flew away like rain and then fell.
Soon, several more artillery shells flew out of the approaching Japanese trenches and landed on the squadron's position, injuring someone.
Zhang Hai had already judged that the Japs opposite them were mortar soldiers. Although craters were blasted from time to time on the position, he and Lu Wen'en remained lying on the spot and never moved.
After the Japs bombed several suspected targets on the Chinese garrison positions, a little Japs sneakily poked half of his head out and held up a telescope to observe the effects of the bombing.
"You can fight."
Seeing the wretched Japs observer, Zhang Hai made a shooting gesture towards Lu Wen'en who was lying not far away.
Lu Wen'en nodded, put the Japs' observation gloves with half of his head into the crosshairs, and after a few seconds of silence, he decisively pressed the trigger.
"boom!"
With a dull gunshot, the Japanese observer who poked half of his head to observe the position suddenly had a blood hole on his face, and fell backwards in the trench without making a sound.
"withdraw!"
Zhang Hai was observing with a telescope. He clearly saw that the Japanese had been shot. He turned to Lu Wen'en and gave a thumbs up, then ordered the evacuation.
Lu Wenen and Zhang Hai quickly left the foxhole where they were, packed up their things and moved away.
They had just walked out not far when a shell landed exactly where they had been, blasting a crater with smoke.
