A well-armed guerrilla officer and soldier jumped forward in a hail of gunfire and bullets in the streets. The bullets were flying randomly, and from time to time they could hit the advancing black figures, bringing up a cloud of blood mist.
But the little devils guarding the barricades were horrified to discover that the guerrilla troops fighting them were not just a ragtag group of people who only knew how to rush forward in a swarm.
These guerrilla officers and soldiers, who work as small groups as combat units, constantly alternate and leap forward with each other. Their skillful tactical movements and tacit cooperation frightened the little devil.
Although the little devil's marksmanship was good, the sparse firepower of the rifle was not enough to target the guerrilla officers and soldiers who were advancing at variable speeds on a night like this.
Although the Japs also have a lot of machine guns and are equipped with grenade launchers and other weapons, it is a pity that every time they show up, they will be targeted by the company's sniper team hiding in the shadows.
"Hey, I knocked another one!"
Zhang Hai, a member of the sniper team who hid his whole body in the shadows, used the light of the explosion to see the Japanese grenadier lying on his back dozens of meters away. A fountain of blood spurted out, and there was a trace of blood on his face.
Uncontrollable excitement.
Although he was recruited into the army this time, he has been hunting in the deep mountains and old forests of the Northeast since he was a child, so his marksmanship is naturally not weak.
He was organized into a sniper team together with recruit Wu Hao, and is now a member of the sniper team of the 8th Infantry Company.
They did not rush forward to attack like the rest of the officers and soldiers, but fell far behind and fired at the enemy firepower points that posed the greatest threat to the brothers.
Seeing the little devils meeting the Lord of Hell with his gun, Zhang Hai seemed to have found the feeling of hunting in the deep mountains and old forests. He now seemed to be killing wild beasts instead of people.
"You come on guard and let me have a good time with a few shots."
Wu Hao, a new recruit facing the opposite direction, served as Zhang Hai's guard post. Seeing Zhang Hai beating the Japanese with great pleasure, he was already eager to try.
"Okay, okay, come on."
Zhang Hai killed three Japs in a row. When he saw Wu Hao, he couldn't wait any longer. He pushed the bullet into the barrel of the gun, turned around and guarded behind him, and let Wu Hao take action.
Wu Hao watched the two sides fighting on the street dozens of meters away, with bullets flying everywhere. With excitement on his face, he half-crouched and picked up the rifle.
It was not difficult for Wu Hao and Zhang Hai to fight the Japs at such a distance of tens of meters. Soon he put the crosshair on the head of a Japs machine gunner.
However, Wu Hao did not fire. The sniper team members of each company were individually called by Yang Ling for special training. Although the special training was intermittent due to time constraints, they also learned a lot.
As members of the sniper team, their main task is to shoot down enemy commanders, grenadiers, machine gunners and other important targets during the attack, thereby weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness.
When retreating, they were also responsible for hiding in the dark, shooting the Japanese, and covering the retreat of the rest of the brothers. They did not need to charge close to each other or fight hand-to-hand.
During combat, most of the time they operate alone as a sniper team, which means that when they encounter danger, they will not be able to get support from their brothers in a short period of time and need to fight alone.
So when Yang Ling specially trained them, the first thing he told them was to learn to hide themselves. Only by protecting themselves can they provide fire support to the brothers and not drag them down.
Wu Hao also kept Yang Ling's words firmly in mind, so when he saw the brothers rushing up the street, they fell far behind and hid in the darkness in the corner, hiding themselves.
But at night like this, even hiding in the shadows won't work, because once a shot is fired, the gunfire will still reveal their position.
Exposing the position is dangerous and fatal for snipers. Once the opponent has a sniper, they are likely to die.
Therefore, although Wu Hao aimed at the Japanese machine gunner, he never fired. He was waiting for the light and sound of the explosion to cover his shooting.
"Boom!"
A grenade fired from a grenade fell on the street and exploded. Amidst the deafening sound, the flames of the explosion swept up and explosive fragments flew everywhere. Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads to prevent being injured.
At the moment of the explosion, Wu Hao also fired. The roar of the explosion covered up the sound of his rifle. The bullet whizzed through the darkness, pulled out a scarlet bullet mark, and penetrated hard into the helmet of the Japanese machine gunner.
.
At such a short distance, although the Japs' steel helmet could prevent stray bullets from being splashed, it could not stop the bullets aimed at him.
The bullet immediately penetrated a bloody hole in the Japs' helmet, and then shattered his brain tissue. The Japs' machine gunner's head hung down helplessly.
"Come on!"
Several assault groups taking alternating cover used the debris on the street to pounce on them. Both the Japs' main and deputy machine gunners were killed. More than a dozen rifles with slow firing rates could not stop the brothers who pounced on them.
When the Japanese took aim at the brothers who were rushing forward and fired, another group of brothers rushed forward. Although the Japanese fired with all their strength, they could not stop them.
The Japs threw grenades to try to prevent the brothers from approaching, but the grenades of the guerrilla brothers fell at the Japs' feet almost at the same time. The smoke of the explosion swept across and the air became hot.
When the brothers rushed forward, the brothers in the sniper team who were hiding in the darkness and firing cold shots also took the opportunity to move their positions to avoid being targeted.
The guerrilla officers and soldiers took companies as units and attacked forward in waves. The fortifications and barricades placed by the Japanese in the city were destroyed like tofu, and the Japanese were beaten back steadily.
"The fifth infantry company and the machine gun company of the first battalion fired forward from the left, and the sixth infantry company compressed to the right along the street in front..."
Yang Ling also went into the city to direct the battle on the front line. Seeing that his brothers were advancing smoothly and the Japanese resistance seemed weak, he immediately adjusted his tactics.
When he first entered the city, Yang Ling was worried that the army would be filled with a large number of recruits who had not been trained in combat, so he adopted a steady and steady approach, keeping a large number of reserve troops in hand to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking.
Now seeing that the resistance of the Japs did not seem to be very strong, he gradually relaxed and prepared to fight to compress all the Japs to the east of the city.
The area to the east of the city is where the Japs' offices and military camps are located. Yang Ling wants to compress and concentrate the Japs who have fought through the battle there, and then directly bombard them with artillery.
Yang Ling did not rush in easily. Firstly, there were many new soldiers at hand, and secondly, there were a large number of residential areas in the city, so infantry artillery and mortars could easily cause accidental damage.
Therefore, Yang Ling's main goal now is to let the brothers from each company in his hand take turns to fight against the Japs, train the new recruits, and let them adapt to fighting. At the same time, he will slowly compress them to the east of the city and concentrate his firepower to eliminate them.
In the south direction of the city, although Yang Ling let go, he secretly arranged a cannon company and a guard company to ambush, and quietly laid a large number of mines.
If the Japanese wanted to come out from the south and flank them, they would be blown up as soon as they left the south gate.
The brothers who were ambushing in the south also had another mission: once the Japanese in the city couldn't resist and tried to escape from the south, they were responsible for catching them all without missing a beat. What Yang Ling wanted was to annihilate them all.
