Even the talented player Niu Er is not as accurate as yesterday on such a battlefield.
The Japanese army was not stupid. During yesterday's battle, they already knew that there were unimaginably accurate shooters at the warehouse, so they threw a large number of smoke bombs on their way forward.
Looking from the warehouse, most of the time there are no human figures. Only when a gust of wind blows by does one have a clear view for five or six seconds.
Moreover, those who can serve as sergeants are all experienced veterans. They will not walk at the front of the team with their heads held high like in future TV series, lest others not know that they are the leader.
The route he chooses during his travels is extremely cunning, and he rarely fully exposes his body on the battlefield before launching a charge.
Otherwise, with Tang Dao's marksmanship, how could he not kill seventeen or eighteen in five minutes?
Therefore, after more than ten minutes, a group of veterans led by Lao Lao Youzi actually had less fruitful results than Tang Dao alone. A total of ten people killed no more than ten Japanese soldiers, and the maximum number of them who were at the sergeant level was four.
On the contrary, the two new recruits Niu Er and Yang Xiaoshan have gained well.
After Niu Er found that it was not easy to kill the sergeant, he positioned his target at the Japanese grenadier who was staying 400 meters away.
The distance of 400 meters is a huge obstacle for most people, but it is not a problem for him with his talent and scope.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the Japanese grenadier shoots in a curve and does not need to show his head. He will only stick his head out when he needs to observe the battlefield.
Therefore, the most important thing for Niu Er is to be patient. Just like a wolf, he needs to be patient enough to wait deep in the grass for his prey to relax its vigilance, and then launch a fatal attack.
At this point, Niu Er, who has been hunting in the mountains all year round, has a maturity that does not match his age. He waited for ten minutes before firing his first shot, injuring a grenade launcher, and then used his companions to
When he came over in panic and tried to drag the wounded man's body, he fired again and killed another grenade launcher.
Afterwards, the injured grenadier was left to lie where he was.
That is his bait, anyone who wants to come to rescue will become his prey.
This is the theory Tang Dao taught him, and this is the first time Niu Er has used it in actual combat.
Absolutely cruel, but very effective. One person has already been fooled.
As long as there is one, there will be a second and a third. The former mountain hunter had enough patience to wait.
However, Niu Er, who put theory into practice for the first time, did not get full marks. After another accurate hit on a deceived Japanese soldier, the experienced Japanese soldiers sensed the extremely sinister intentions of their dangerous opponent and quickly found a way to crack it.
Throw grenades and smoke grenades ten meters in front of the wounded.
Niu Er lost his clear vision in the trap using injured Japanese soldiers as bait, and could only rely on his feeling to empty one magazine in a row.
After the smoke cleared, the bait on the ground had been dragged away by the Japanese army, but the black marks on the ground were enough to prove that the bait would not survive for long.
Niu Er killed and wounded three Japanese soldiers, and his sniper results were still impressive.
Only this time, Yang Xiaoshan, who had never performed well in shooting, refused to let Niu Erzhuan outshine his predecessors.
Yang Xiaoshan was self-aware and knew that he did not have the shooting talent of Niu Er, and his actual combat experience was far inferior to that of veteran Youzi, so from the beginning he had no intention of killing valuable targets like the sergeant or the grenadier.
His idea is very simple, and he can kill everyone one by one.
With such a simple and almost honest idea, Yang Xiaoshan's targets were all the Japanese troops closest to the warehouse.
Because the Japanese tanks were wary of machine guns, they only dared to stay behind a low wall 230 meters away as a fixed fire point to cover the advance of the infantry. The Japanese infantry could only reach as far as 200 meters away from the warehouse, and they were all well hidden.
.
It's not like yesterday, when I was stupidly carrying light and heavy machine gun bullets and charging to the death.
Not only that, but he also used the individual engineer shovel he carried with him to dig an individual bunker on the spot.
At this distance, even if the Chinese light and heavy machine guns are willing to save bullets, they dare not completely cease fire. This will only make the Japanese army more and more reckless. If they just advance and dig bunkers, how will the subsequent battle be fought?
Yang Xiaoshan was staring at this wave of Japanese troops.
As long as they are on the battlefield, no one can do anything, especially the Japanese as the attackers. Knowing that the Chinese infantry are staring at them from behind the wall, trying to kill them, they have no choice but to follow the orders of their superiors.
Next, either expose your head and shoot at the sandbag fortifications on the warehouse side, or move forward slowly and resolutely, even if you are crawling with your buttocks tucked in.
Therefore, Yang Xiaoshan, who set a small target for himself, actually had a better record than the veterans who expected to shoot more valuable targets. He shot and killed three Japanese infantry soldiers whose rear hips were too high.
Compared with the not-so-excellent record of the dozen or so precise shooters selected by Tang Dao, the record of the remaining officers and soldiers of the company was actually even worse.
Because of the special geographical location of Sihang Warehouse, the Japanese infantrymen who had lost 70% of their martial arts skills were forced to use all their potential and perform infantry tactics to the extreme.
The tactics of the Japanese infantry in small units were more flexible. By observing the firepower points exposed in the warehouse, they avoided the firing range of the firepower points, and the directions they detoured were mostly in the blind spots of the firing ports.
In terms of individual soldiers, they all bend down when moving forward, and they still walk in a zigzag curve, and they rarely move straight forward.
As for the warehouse defenders, while the strong walls of the warehouse brought tough defense, it actually added a lot of difficulties to the defenders themselves. After spending two nights on the wall, they painstakingly dug out dozens of shooting holes.
, it’s hard to shell out the extra.
It is also necessary to leave shooting holes for light and heavy machine guns. In fact, those who can participate in the battle through the shooting holes include the front of the building. There are no more than two squads of infantry on each floor.
The defense on the front of the building is also the most dangerous. All temporary shooting holes are fortifications made of sandbags piled against the windows, which are not as strong as the concrete walls more than half a meter thick.
Yesterday, the Japanese army also seized on this shortcoming of the warehouse building. The walls on both wings were too hard to break. Up to seven or eight infantry cannons bombarded the front of the building, smashing three windows and fortifications, and also caused
One of the two light machine gunners was killed and the other wounded.
At this time, the Japanese infantry artillery did not shell because the infantry was advancing, but a Japanese tank hiding behind a low wall served as a fixed firepower point. The 57mm tank gun also posed a great threat to the sandbag fortifications.
Before the war, all ministers had requested that unless the Japanese army started to charge, all infantrymen were not allowed to fire in the fighting position for more than 20 seconds.
In other words, in the last battle position, all tactical actions such as observation, aiming, and shooting had to be completed within twenty seconds. The infantry basically only had one chance to fire. Regardless of whether the shot was hit or not, they immediately left and hid.
safe area.
Coupled with the effects of gunpowder smoke and smoke bombs, unless you are a sniper like Tang Dao, it will be difficult to hit the target in such a situation.
Of course, Tang Dao has a specially selected sniper position, which is beyond the reach of the 57mm tank gun. He has a huge psychological advantage over the infantry, which is also an important reason why he can kill valuable targets calmly.
one.
But in any case, this is not a war for Tang Dao alone. He alone cannot change the entire battle situation. To suppress the Japanese army for the time being, he mainly relies on the consumption of light and heavy machine guns and mortars at all costs.
The 88th Division Headquarters left a lot of reserve ammunition for the 524th Regiment before retreating, but yesterday's battles alone consumed more than 40,000 rounds of various bullets. According to the current intensity of the Japanese attack, at least one more ammunition will be needed today.
More than 40,000 rounds.
The reserve of artillery shells has reached an extremely dangerous edge.
Although Wakiitajiro's move is cruel, it is extremely effective.
The army lieutenant colonel looked at the ammunition consumption report brought over by the major and battalion commander with a sad face, and a layer of gloom formed on his brows.
