A tall tower standing alone on the battlefield, and a weak and taciturn instructor became the most important classroom in Yang Xiaoshan's life.
He witnessed with his own eyes that his instructor used bullets to penetrate the bodies of more than 60 Japanese soldiers with extreme accuracy, becoming the most terrifying nightmare for the Japanese soldiers on the entire battlefield.
The Japanese army was not a rookie. After discovering this terrible threat, they adopted a variety of tactics to solve the threat. They found that heavy machine guns were useless and it was difficult for infantry artillery to accurately bombard the towers and damage them, and they would also be swarmed by Chinese mortars.
After the fire destroyed it, they adopted the tactic of detours and outflanking by small teams, trying to use infantry to move to the bottom of the tower on the battlefield and destroy the tower, as well as the terrifying cold gunman above.
In fact, there are at least two infantry companies in the house positions around the square tower. They are the biggest protection of the opponent's tower. If the Japanese army wants to enter 200 meters around the square tower, they must first break through this level. There are not two or three.
Don't even think about the strength of an infantry squadron.
In order to open up the 200-300-meter passage to the battlefield, the Japanese army did not hesitate to give up nearly 100 meters of the battlefield that had been occupied and cleared of threats, and then used grenades and mountain cannons to throw grenades and mountain cannons at the square tower and the surrounding 300-meter range.
Gas bombs.
Just like the Xilin Tower outside the city, they believed that this method would definitely make the enemies on the tower despair.
But this time, they suffered a big setback. Zeng Shui was not a green skin, and the independent group was not a Songjiang Security Group. Not only did Zeng Shui have superb marksmanship and combat skills, but most of them only relied on bloody courage to fight the Japanese army.
The green skin is comparable, and the equipment Zeng Shui carries is enough to make him not afraid of the poisonous gas of the Japanese army, including Yang Xiaoshan who puts on a gas mask for the first time.
Not only does the gas mask look a bit ugly, in fact, Yang Xiaoshan wouldn't want to wear it at all if it wasn't for the reason that it allows you to survive in the permeable poisonous gas.
It was really uncomfortable. Within a few minutes, his whole head felt like it was being placed in a big steamer. It was hard for him to imagine how his teacher, wearing a gas mask and wearing a mask, could still be indifferent.
By mistake, the Japanese soldiers who were exposed in sight were shot to death one by one.
Amid the power of poison gas bombs, most of the Chinese soldiers who lacked gas masks chose to retreat temporarily under the command of the iron whistle blown by the commander. Even though the towels that had been prepared were wetted with water and covered over their mouths and noses, they were not enough to block the poison gas.
Intrusion. Moreover, the mustard gas can also cause harm to the human body through exposed skin. This is common sense that officers and soldiers had popularized before the war.
Only a few soldiers who were too late to retreat into the underground pipe network hid in corners to block the Japanese army, but the chain-level protection that could no longer be formed was equivalent to opening countless small openings in the position, which undoubtedly let go of the opponent's square tower.
protection of.
Visually observing at least six teams of Japanese troops wearing gas masks approaching the square tower from the gaps in the houses, even Yang Xiaoshan, who admired the water in the past, believed that even with gas masks, the square tower would be destroyed sooner or later.
Destroyed by Japanese bombs.
Therefore, when the Japanese troops wearing gas masks reached a distance of 150 meters around the square tower, Yang Xiaoshan also started shooting. Although his shooting skills were not as good as before, but wearing gas masks, even those who were not moving very much could
Yang Xiaoshan felt pain, not to mention the Japanese soldiers who had to perform various tactical actions. Not only did the glass mask restrict his vision, it also consumed far more physical energy than usual. The Japanese soldiers' reaction was at least two beats slower than usual.
Yang Xiaoshan killed at least five people as the Japanese troops continued to advance.
This is an achievement that Yang Xiaoshan can be proud of. In the battle against Cangcheng on the banks of the Huangpu River, he only killed so many Japanese soldiers.
In fact, this is indeed amazing. Even if it slows down because of wearing gas masks, the Japanese army is still the Japanese army. Once they approach, it will be fatal.
The Japanese army may have already known the terror of the cold gunman through the loss of life of their colleagues. After entering the 200-meter area, six teams of nearly 100 people all dispersed and attacked the square tower completely as individual soldiers. From the extreme view
Looking from the top of the beautiful square tower, the Japanese soldiers who left the house and ran towards us through the alley were like wild wolves looking for food, attacking their prey from almost all directions.
The square tower and the two Chinese soldiers on the square tower are the prey of these nearly a hundred "wild wolves". According to the rules of the jungle, even a tiger at the top of the food chain will encounter such a terrifying "wolf pack".
It can only be death, there is no second possibility.
Just as Yang Xiaoshan himself thought, no one should be able to survive such a terrible attack, even if he has a Maxim heavy machine gun with a fire rate of 500 rounds per minute! He has no way to guarantee that the muzzle of his gun can
360-degree shooting without blind spots.
What's more, the Japanese heavy machine gun cover never stopped. At least four heavy machine guns fired in the direction of the square tower. The sandbag fortifications were constantly hit by 7.7mm machine gun bullets, making a dull "Puff Puff" sound.
The sound was like raindrops.
But that was not rain, it was a hail of bullets. It not only damaged people's nerves, but in fact, at some point, it might shoot through the sandbags and hit people's bodies.
To be constantly hit by bullets around you, with the air filled with poisonous smoke, and to face nearly a hundred people besieging you from all directions. The next moment you may be blown to pieces in despair. In just one minute, more than one shot was fired.
With 20 bullets fired and five targets hit, Yang Xiaoshan has surpassed 99% of the soldiers from both China and Japan on this battlefield.
Even Zeng Shui gave Yang Xiaoshan a thumbs up when he turned over and rolled to the other side of the square tower to shoot. Obviously, Zeng Shui was very satisfied with this recruit student who had only been in the military for one year.
What is satisfactory is not the marksmanship, but the psychological quality. Yang Xiaoshan definitely has the potential to become a sniper.
Of course, it's just potential. If you want to become a sniper, it doesn't matter what talent or endurance and military qualities you have. What's important is that you can survive on this battlefield first.
Only those who can survive are qualified to grow. This was something Shui once could not know. It is very difficult to survive on the battlefield, but it is very easy to die. A small bullet or being blown away by an explosive
Even a pebble can kill someone, so in addition to having superb tactical skills, you also need enough luck.
Human life is very tenacious but actually fragile. For people who are unlucky, even if they just scratch their skin, bacterial infection can kill them. This is especially true on the battlefield.
Teachers have more expectations and affirmations for students.
But students can only worship their teachers.
For the first time, Yang Xiaoshan witnessed what it means to suppress a hundred people with one tower, one man and one gun. Especially for Yang Xiaoshan, an almost zero-distance observer, it was even better than the white horse and silver spear Zhao Zilong described by storytellers.
Wan Dajun makes people's blood boil even more.
Later, Yang Xiaoshan stopped shooting because it was no longer necessary.
He was just holding a telescope, looking through the thin yellowish poisonous gas smoke and the gunpowder smoke that had not dispersed, and reported to Zeng Shui mechanically, using the positioning rules that Zeng Shui had given him before the war, 100 meters in the five o'clock direction
There is an enemy... There is an enemy 80 meters away from eight o'clock... There is an enemy 110 meters away from 12 o'clock.
Yang Xiaoshan's voice was very mechanical, but Zeng Shui's gunfire was calm and cold. The gunfire hardly paused for more than 2 seconds. Maybe it would only slow down a little when he reinserted the magazine, but that was often when he was holding the gun.
There is even a bit of rhythm when rolling around with the gun to change the shooting point.
The scariest thing is naturally not that the soldiers keep pulling the trigger, that everyone can do it. The scariest thing is that with every gunshot, a Japanese soldier falls.
No matter you are running fast or slow, no matter you are hiding or moving, as long as you are exposed within the shooting range, you will almost become a dead soul under his gun.
No one could escape his shooting. Among the hundreds of Japanese troops, the one closest to the square tower was 60 meters away. From 300 meters away, they had already entered the door of death.
Blow by the November breeze in the south of the Yangtze River, the effects of the poisonous gas are gradually dissipating, and for Yang Xiaoshan high in the sky, his vision becomes clearer and clearer.
The narrow alleys, narrow streets, and small courtyards that had not been bombed were filled with corpses of Japanese soldiers killed by Zeng Shui. As for why Yang Xiaoshan knew that they were killed by Zeng Shui, the reason is simple.
They all wore gas masks. The main force of the Japanese army had already withdrawn from the area before the gas bombardment.
Yang Xiaoshan was unable to count the number of Japanese soldiers killed. Except for those exposed within the firing range, Yang Xiaoshan also knew that some Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the house and trying to shoot at the square tower were also killed.
This place was a place of death left by the Japanese invaders for Chinese soldiers, but now, it has been turned into a hell for the Japanese soldiers by Zeng Shui.
Yang Xiaoshan didn't know what kind of fear the Japanese infantry felt when being attacked by such a super sniper. Anyway, if it were him, he would listen to the screams of his comrades before they died, but he still took the same
The "demon" who is still harvesting the lives of his comrades is powerless and will surely collapse.
Yes, although the Japanese army is advancing individually, it does not mean that they are not in contact with each other. Basically, a small team is still within a lateral distance of fifty to one hundred meters. Even without modern radios, through Japanese-style calling
The presence of comrades can also be felt through the roars and even the unique gunshots of Sanba Gate.
The painful wails of his comrades who pulled off their gas masks before dying were not enough to be frightening. What frightened the Japanese soldiers the most was that they could no longer hear the gunshots of their nearby comrades. Even if he listened carefully, it was all quiet except for himself who was protecting himself from the gas.
The sound of heavy breathing in the mask.
It was as if I was alone on the huge battlefield...
That is the most chilling fear.
The Japanese army, which was extremely resolute in attacking, gradually collapsed psychologically after paying more deaths than they themselves could know. Especially the Japanese commander who was hiding in the rear and witnessed the heavy casualties, finally could not bear the huge psychological pressure and fought.
After receiving the retreat signal flare, the Japanese soldiers, who were already feeling weak, began to retreat frantically.
When attacking, they were as ferocious as wolves about to enter the hunting ground, ferocious and cunning, using the cover of walls and buildings to advance aggressively, but when they collapsed and retreated, they were like a group of rabbits being chased by wolves, unscrupulously attacking.
The back is left to the enemy.
Perhaps, at that time, their biggest hope was not whether they would be shot by the Chinese gunmen from the tower, but that the gunmen should shoot their companions first! They did not need to dodge the precise shots of the Chinese gunmen.
The bullet only needs to be the last target to be attacked.
Those who run slower are naturally closer and are more likely to become targets.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking.
