In fact, using a light machine gun as a sniper rifle was not Tang Dao's own initiative.
Whether it was World War II or the future Battle of the Northern Icefields, there were examples of soldiers using light machine guns or even heavy machine guns as sniper rifles to hit long-distance targets.
Not to mention 700 meters, there are even hit records of 1,000 meters.
The Czech light machine gun has a scale range of up to 1,500 meters and an effective range of up to 900 meters. The former is the theoretical value that the bullet can maintain a straight trajectory, and the latter is the effective killing distance tested on the test field.
That means that as long as the shooter can see the target far enough away and has strong enough shooting skills, in theory, he can kill the target 900 meters away or even further with a bullet that maintains a straight trajectory.
However, this is only theoretical after all. For an excellent machine gun shooter, being able to suppress the enemy with firepower at a distance of 400 meters is already very impressive.
Like Tang Dao, operating a light machine gun to kill the opponent 700 meters away, at least for the two Chinese elites at this time, absolutely subverted their common sense.
"Sir, what if the Japanese still don't give up and want to exhume the remains of our brothers?" Peng Chong licked his dry lips and asked subconsciously.
"If the booby trap buried two meters deep under the soil is detonated, then I will request the command headquarters to use a heavy mortar group to focus fire on the coordinates. If the Japanese army feels that the business of exchanging living people for corpses is worthwhile, then
Come and do it!" Tang Dao looked towards Cangcheng with a cold and chilling look.
"Moreover, once they do this, I will convince the two commanders to send a clear telegram to the whole country and the Japanese Tenth Army that our entire Songjiang army will attack the Kunisaki detachment without leaving any prisoners of war, but there will be
With one shot, one man will definitely take the head of a ruthless dog from another country. In this life, he will fight until death!"
The two of them took a breath. The Army Lieutenant Colonel in front of them was really ruthless. Although the Japanese also killed prisoners of war, they never did so in a big way and had to hide them. This man was so good that he touched his reverse.
If you want to directly invent the code and electrify the entire army in the country without leaving prisoners of war, that almost means that the entire Songjiang army of 30,000 people will have to fight with the Tenth Army in a "if you don't kill me, I will definitely kill you" battle to the death.
Because the remains of comrades buried on the battlefield will not be disturbed by the enemy.
Is it worth it?
It was worth it! After thinking about it carefully, the two of them were surprised to find that they were extremely inclined to the army lieutenant colonel's decision, even if they knew that they would die if they made such a decision.
Yes, whether you live or die, you are my comrade-in-arms! You protect the country and I will protect you, even if you are asleep.
This is not what philosophy Tang Dao is passing on to these soldiers, but their gradual awakening on the battlefield.
We are brothers for a moment, we are brothers for life, we depend on each other no matter life or death!
I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of dying in a foreign land, because I have brothers and I can eventually go home.
This kind of army is the most terrifying army.
In the future, China will ceremoniously welcome the remains of its compatriots, even if it takes decades. It is precisely because of this concept.
Fortunately, the Japanese did not give Tang Dao the opportunity to make such a decisive declaration.
Major Asahi Kongo, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, died. Although the 7.96-caliber bullet from the Czech light machine gun did not break his heart into pieces with such precision, it broke his aorta and did not give any medical supplies.
It took only one minute for him to be rescued and he died.
The two Japanese captains who came in a hurry looked at each other and were a little happy. At least no one was crazy anymore and asked them to dig up Chinese corpses all over the world.
That's completely useless work.
It's not that they have any psychological burden to vent their anger by destroying Chinese corpses, but from a tactical perspective, if they have that time, they might as well dig enough bomb shelters like the Chinese.
The last round of ferocious artillery fire by the Chinese scared the Japanese army. Although there were no heavy artillery, the mountain artillery and mortars alone were no match for hundreds of them, especially in Cangcheng with such obvious coordinates.
They are even more unwilling to become victims of Chinese artillery fire.
As a result, the military orders issued by the dead ghost Asahi Jingo became a thing of the past, and the Japanese troops stationed in Cangcheng mainly focused on building fortifications.
Unintentionally, this group of Japanese remnants also avoided the fierce artillery fire retaliation from the Songjiang defenders, and their lives were much better than that of their damn Major.
After returning to Songjiang City, Tang Dao had no time to repair it. Just after he had a few words with the colonel of the 677th Regiment who came to greet them in person, he received a military order from the headquarters, requiring him to go to the headquarters immediately to report on the battle situation in Cangcheng.
"Brother, don't worry, I will help you make arrangements here!" The army colonel forced out a smile and patted Tang Dao on the shoulder, and asked several school officers and lieutenants who had returned from Cangcheng, including Peng Chong, to follow him.
superior.
In this person's opinion, this time Cangcheng is not a great victory, but it can definitely be regarded as a successful defensive battle. Tang Dao and these officers can get some rewards. This is what the army colonel can do for his subordinates who are lucky enough to survive.
Some benefits gained.
However, there are some gaps between reality and their imagination.
Not only did the officers who had achieved great achievements not receive the treatment of being welcomed out of the gate by the commander, but after the captain and guard company commander in charge of security ran to report to the headquarters, it took several minutes before they came out, and the few accompanying Tang Dao were not allowed to come out.
The famous school official entered and only he was allowed to enter the headquarters to report on the battle situation in Cangcheng.
The rest of the people were waiting outside the headquarters.
Tang Dao could only enter the courtyard alone and walk towards the small building that served as the headquarters.
Are these two lieutenant generals thinking that I suffered too much damage in the battle on the front line of Cangcheng? Even though Tang Dao was in a tough mood, he was not a little uneasy when he saw this treatment.
In the Battle of Cangcheng, the defenders totaling two infantry battalions were able to return to Songjiang alive, but only 398 of them, including 160 seriously injured, suffered nearly 80% battle damage. From this aspect alone,
It can definitely be considered a defeat.
If the two lieutenant generals used this to criticize him, Tang Dao would naturally have nothing to say.
The gate of the headquarters was closed tightly, and all the guards and soldiers on both sides stood 20 meters away, saluting Tang Dao with a military salute before he had time to change his uniform. Tang Dao returned the salute.
"Report!" Tang Dao stood at attention at the gate.
"Come in!" A deep roar came from inside.
Tang Dao pushed the door open.
Then, he was stunned.
The scene in the headquarters was beyond Tang Dao's expectation.
Too many people.
Tang Dao, who had accompanied the two commanders to study operations at the headquarters, had never seen so many people in the headquarters.
Two rows of people stood on both sides of the conference table, including the two lieutenant generals Wu and Guo at the front, who stood straight and looked at Tang Dao.
In other words, the two lieutenant generals are not the key point. Those standing together are all generals.
The army commander, army chief of staff, division commander, brigade commander, including Wang Gongyu, commander of the security regiment who was accompanying him at the end, at least 15 generals whom Tang Dao knew or didn't know, stood on both sides of the conference table.
Even Tang Dao is a little confused now.
What's going on?
After a long while, Tang Dao stood at attention and raised his hand to salute: "Hello, sirs!"
Everyone present was a general, and Tang Dao felt that if he saluted and called out one by one, he might die from exhaustion, so it would be better to give them a unified name.
However, Tang Dao didn't expect the return gift he expected, no one came.
Don’t talk about martial ethics? We are also an army lieutenant colonel, right? Tang Dao didn’t even put down his hand before waiting for a return gift.
"Let me tell you! Brother Guo! After this kid sees this battle, he will definitely cheat and make a big pot of trouble. He will never come alone." Lieutenant General Wu looked at Lao Guo beside him,
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Commander-in-Chief, you are still very good. You have figured out this boy's temper in less than two days. I am ashamed of myself!" Lieutenant General Guo also laughed.
"How's it going, Deputy Director Tang? Are you satisfied with the welcome ceremony I, Old Wu, have prepared for you?" Lieutenant General Wu turned his attention again to Tang Dao, who was still performing a standard military salute.
Tang Dao didn't squint.
If you don't return the favor, I'll beat you to death for maintaining this posture.
Lieutenant General Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Looking back at the two rows of lieutenant generals and major generals who were standing straight, the smile on their faces faded and they shouted in a deep voice: "In the battle of Cangcheng, our soldiers on the front line of Cangcheng are not afraid of life and death, and they kill the enemy without calculation. Everyone, we are waiting for you."
How will the general who leads the army treat him?"
"Stand at attention!" Liu Yuqing took a big step forward.
"Bang!" The generals all stood at attention.
"salute!"
In unison, all the generals present, including the two commanders, raised their right hands and saluted.
Tang Dao's blood boiled all over.
He knew that this was not a personal salute from the generals to him, but a tribute to all the defenders of Cangcheng.
This is the general's recognition of the soldiers' sacrifice and is the highest honor for soldiers.
This welcome ceremony really doesn’t need to be too grand.
