"The Japanese machine gunners are coming up! Pay attention to concealment!"
A soldier beside Xie Jinyuan died. Xie Jinyuan took a look at the wound. It was not caused by an ordinary rifle. He quickly took out his binoculars and looked over. He saw heavy machine guns set up around the ruins. There were two The fire was relatively fast, and fire suppression was carried out on the Sihang Warehouse.
"Dai Qiang, Chen Yun, Zhao Dehan, Mao Sanbai, your machine gunners who fight the Japanese with me, Lao Xie, leave the machine gunners to us! You can just take care of other things!" After saying that, Yu Zhiqian put down the three guns in his hand. Bada Gai picked up his rifle that had been placed aside.
"good!"
Yu Zhiqian's weapon comes with an adjustable four- and eight-fold zoom. If you aim in the direction of the ruins, you can clearly see the temporary machine gun positions built by the Japanese one after another around the ruins bunker.
These machine gun positions were built in a recessed area of the ruins and were very concealed. Then a machine gunner fired at the Sihang Warehouse. Although it did not cause much damage, it prevented the defenders in the building from firing unscrupulously.
Yu Zhiqian aimed at a machine gunner with only half of his head exposed. After suffering several losses, the Japanese machine gunner became a lot smarter. He would not find a place to lie down and start shooting, but would try his best to You can hide yourself even if you don't have a big shooting angle.
"Pay attention to some gaps in the ruins. The Japs may be hiding behind them!" Yu Zhiqian said as he aimed his sights at the Japs' green helmet and gently pulled the trigger with his finger.
Behind the sight, the bullet accurately hit the Japanese soldier's helmet. The Japanese fell backwards. Just as Yu Zhiqian was about to find the next target, he saw another helmet coming up. It should be the deputy machine gunner who took the position, but this time Before the deputy machine gunner could pull the trigger, he was killed by Yu Zhigan.
Five people were in the five corners, and the machine gunners who kept shooting at the Japanese occasionally found that Japanese officers would also be taken away. This made it almost impossible for the Japanese to continue to charge forward with their lives.
The road in front of Sihang Warehouse that had just been washed clean by the heavy rain has now turned into mud. Mixed in the mud are red flesh and blood, khaki Japanese military uniforms, and corpses, located twenty to thirty meters away. It is the place with the largest number of corpses of Japanese soldiers. In some areas, the number of corpses piled up is so large that Japanese soldiers need to climb to get over it.
"Sir, the sharpshooters of the Chinese army were really powerful during the day. Our machine gunner was shot dead by the sharpshooters of the Chinese army before he could suppress the fire!"
An officer panted and ran to Sanbei. He bent down and reported the situation to Sanbei. After hearing this, Sanbei dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground: "The Chinese army has sharpshooters, don't we?"
"Hayi!"
The Japanese army finally broke into the Sihang Warehouse, but the number of people who rushed into the warehouse was very small. There were less than twenty Japanese soldiers who worked hard and stepped on the corpses of their predecessors to rush into the warehouse.
However, soldiers who want to rush into the Sihang Warehouse later need to face the guns of all the defenders from the second to sixth floors of the Sihang Warehouse. Only by dodging these bullets will they become lucky. If they cannot become the lucky ones, they will fall. On the way to charge.
Being the lucky ones only meant they lived a few more seconds, that's all. When they rushed into the Sihang Warehouse, what was waiting for them were rows of Chinese soldiers who had already been prepared.
Just like in the era of queuing to be shot, the defenders in the Chinese building stood in two staggered rows, aiming their guns at the few places where they could rush in. When Japanese soldiers rushed in, they would immediately raise their guns and shoot. After the shooting, He quickly took a step back, pulled the gun bolt again, and a person behind him took over to ensure that there was no gap in the firepower.
This move was also made by Yu Zhiqian. In fact, it is a simple tactic that many people understand, but they just don’t know how to apply it. When they first cooperated, the response was pretty good. There would also be shooting at the same time, resulting in a gap in firepower, which gave Japan Opportunities for people to take advantage of.
However, with the tacit understanding of cooperation, as long as a Japanese soldier rushed in, he would be killed. There was no chance to break into the warehouse and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese soldiers.
As for the Japanese army, Sanbei gathered together more than 20 veterans with good marksmanship in the army to form a team of sharpshooters, which was the earliest sniper team. However, the weapons in the hands of these soldiers were still 38. Big cover, no sights.
More than 20 sharpshooters prepared by the Japanese were mixed with ordinary soldiers and quickly approached the Sihang Warehouse. They looked no different from ordinary soldiers.
However, when the group of soldiers reached a position about a hundred meters away, they did not choose to continue moving forward. Instead, they looked around, looking for a suitable bunker, and quickly got down.
After the more than twenty Japanese sharpshooters lay down, they carefully moved their bodies to find a suitable shooting angle.
"boom!"
With a crisp gunshot, a Japanese sharpshooter shot a Chinese soldier on the third floor, but the shot was not in the head, but in the shoulder.
"Send to the fourth floor!" The squad leader next to him immediately moved the injured soldier aside, holding his own weapon and continuing to fight.
After the Japanese sharpshooters joined, they achieved certain results, but the Chinese defenders did not discover their presence immediately and suffered a certain amount of casualties.
But soon, Yan Qi, who was lying on the hospital bed on the fourth floor, discovered a problem: "Sir, there are a lot of wounded people sent in these ten minutes, more than the previous one or two hours?"
Yu Zhiqian just heard this and before he could answer, a soldier next to him was hit in the head and died.
Yu Zhiqian quickly walked over and checked his wound. After calculating in his mind where the bullet came from, he quickly picked up the weapon and looked through another window.
Soon, Yu Zhiqian discovered a sneaky Japanese soldier hiding in a corner. Only half of his head was exposed. He was not a big target like a heavy machine gun. He was squatting behind a bunker in the ruins. It would be difficult to spot him if he wasn't paying attention.
"There are snipers, three hundred, you give priority to killing the snipers!"
"Roger that, head!"
After receiving the order, Mao Sanbai and others immediately began to search for snipers hiding in the ruins.
Except for Germany and the United Kingdom, snipers in this era have corresponding training, and most countries do not yet have the concept of snipers.
The Japanese had only heard of this name, but had no training. It was not until the Pacific War that they trained a large number of cannon fodder snipers.
The people currently fighting against Yu Zhiqian and others can only be said to be some Japanese veterans. These people are quite experienced, but their camouflage experience is really poor.
Some even knew how not to expose themselves as much as possible, and some simply exposed most of their bodies and shot at the Sixing Warehouse on the ruins.
"I found you!" Zhao Dehan just scanned around with a magnifying glass and found three Japanese snipers. However, these three Japanese soldiers didn't know yet that they had been targeted by the god of death and were still looking for their targets.
Dai Qiang was at the highest point and discovered more, but his position was not suitable for exposing half of his body to shoot. He could only constantly report the location of Japanese snipers to Yu Zhiqian and others.
"Direction at half past nine, behind the waste, two people!"
"receive!"
After Mao Sanbai received the news, he immediately aimed at the location Dai Qiang said and found two Japanese snipers lying there. The two men were well disguised. At least they knew how to camouflage their clothes to match the surrounding colors. Almost, but still a little short of being recognized at a glance.
"call out!"
With a soft sound, Mao Sanbai shot one of the Japanese snipers to death, then turned the muzzle slightly and aimed at the second Japanese sniper.
Within three seconds, two Japanese snipers were killed one after another.
"At twelve o'clock, there is a sniper behind the ruins of the first tank, two on the left and three on the right!"
"Leave these six people to me!"
After hearing Dai Qiang's words, Yu Zhiqian quickly moved to a more remote window, bent his body half a ton, and looked behind the ruins of the first tank.
A Japanese behind the tank, after pulling the trigger, made a general observation and found that there was no gunfire in the window where he was shooting. He nodded with satisfaction, pulled the gun bolt, and prepared to continue looking for the target.
The Japanese soldier silently recited five in his mind. This was the fifth person he had hit today, but he could not determine whether he was dead or not, so he could only write down the number and report it to the police.
Just when he was looking for a target, he suddenly saw a faint flash of gunfire from a remote window on the left side of Sihang Warehouse.
"Nani!"
His intuition told him that the bullet was aimed at him, but he had no time to react. He could only mutter softly and then fell into a pool of blood.
After first dealing with the Japanese sniper in the middle, Yu Zhiqian moved his muzzle to the Japanese sniper on the left.
But before he turned his gun, he saw one of the Japanese snipers rushing to the side of the soldier he had just killed.
Yu Zhiqian did not choose to kill him, but still chose the target according to his own plan.
After more than ten seconds, these Japanese snipers were all killed by Yu Zhigan.
More than twenty snipers achieved certain results before being discovered at first, but after being exposed, they were all killed quickly.
"Lao Xie, brothers, please pay attention, the Japanese have snipers, be careful about the distance of one or two hundred meters!"
After taking care of all the snipers, Yu Zhiqian rested against the wall. He felt a little tired now. He hadn't had time to take a good rest since yesterday afternoon.
Xie Jinyuan also sat beside Yu Zhiqian a little tiredly: "Okay, but sir, what do you call a sniper?"
"As for snipers, I guess this concept is not popular yet, but after the war starts in Europe in two years, it will become popular! Now at most they are called sharpshooters!"
When it comes to sharpshooters, Xie Jinyuan understands a little bit. Yu Zhigan smiled: "The so-called sniper is an improved sharpshooter. In the future, there will be special weapons that can kill enemies from a few hundred meters or even two thousand meters!"
Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Xie Jinyuan opened his mouth: "Two thousand meters, this is too far!"
"In the future, our country will have missiles that can hit tens of thousands of kilometers!"
There was a look of yearning in Xie Jinyuan's eyes. Yu Zhiqian felt it was enough to rest a little and got up from the ground: "Keep fighting, I don't know when the little devil will retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an excited cry: "The Japanese have retreated!"
The Japanese attack, which lasted for about an hour, was over. After learning that all the snipers had been sacrificed, Sanbei sighed and gave the order to retreat.
Sanbei was looking at the Sihang Warehouse about 500 meters away, staring at it, unwilling to move his eyes. He didn't understand why he couldn't capture a small warehouse controlled by the Chinese army.
The Battle of Songhu, in which millions of Chinese troops were invested, was won with only 300,000 troops. Now that he had thousands of men at his disposal, he could not take down a warehouse garrisoned by several hundred men. Sanbei himself also felt humiliated.
One day, during the 24-hour attack, both regiments suffered heavy losses. In the eyes of the three soldiers and guards, the men who retreated in a hurry were in a state of panic. Some soldiers even lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. After hearing the order to retreat, they climbed up again. Get up and move down using your hands and feet.
These former imperial warriors have now become cowards and cowards, scared out of their wits by the vulnerable Chinese army.
"Sir!" The staff officer beside him gently touched Sanbei.
Sanbei raised his head and glanced at his staff, and suddenly said: "If the Chinese army is like this, the empire is in danger!"
The staff officer nodded after hearing this: "This Chinese army is worthy of admiration. They are very tenacious. They are completely different from the Chinese armies we encountered before that were defeated in one blow!"
"But they are enemies of the empire and must be destroyed!"
Sanbei's expression changed and he looked at his subordinates: "Call the air tactical guidance and let the planes raze this warehouse to the ground!"
The staff officer nodded after hearing this, and immediately left to start contact, but soon a piece of bad news came: "Captain, there are no bombers around Shanghai that can support us now. They have all been sent out to pursue the Chinese army. Now the Chinese army has re-established a defense line in Suzhou, and there is a fierce exchange of fire!"
After hearing this, Sanbei's eyes dimmed: "That's it!"
After saying that, he picked up his katana and slowly walked towards the headquarters. He needed to report the latest situation to his general Ito Masaki, and he himself was ready to commit seppuku.
Our regiment will definitely not be able to take the warehouse before tonight, and there will be serious casualties. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Brigades have suffered heavy losses. Excluding the wounded, there are not even more than a thousand people who can fight.
The baggage troops also suffered losses, leaving only one artillery squadron with a relatively intact structure.
A complete alliance was pulled out and fought for more than ten hours, but no progress was made. What's more, the entire alliance is now incomplete?
"Take care of the injured soldiers, and add a meal at noon today. There is no need to attack without my order!"
