Rise From Eight Hundred

 Chapter 110 Small goals are more effective

 But not everyone is a Tang Dao.

Even the talented player Niu Er is not as accurate as yesterday on such a battlefield.

The Japanese army was not stupid either. During the battle yesterday, they already knew that there were unimaginably accurate shooters at the warehouse, so they first 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, can you have a clear vision for five or six seconds.

And those who can be sergeants are all experienced veterans. Naturally, 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 he is the leader.

Their route choices are extremely cunning, and they rarely fully expose themselves 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, ten minutes later, a group of veterans led by Lao Lao Youzi actually had less fruitful results than Tang Dao alone. A total of ten or so people killed no more than ten Japanese soldiers, and at most four were at the sergeant level.

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 Sergeant, he positioned his target at the Japanese grenadier who stayed 400 meters away.

The long distance of 400 meters is a huge obstacle for most people, but it is not a problem for him with 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.

 So 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, wounding 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.

 Then let the wounded grenadier lie where he was.

That is his bait, and anyone who wants to come to rescue will become his prey.

 This is the theory that Tang Dao taught him. 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 has 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 bombs more than 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 empty one magazine continuously by feeling.

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, whose performance in shooting has not been outstanding, did not let Niu Erzhuan be better than 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. He can kill every 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 only reached a distance of 200 meters from the warehouse, and they were all well hidden. . It’s not like yesterday, when they were stupidly carrying light and heavy machine gun bullets and charging to the death.

Not only that, he also dug an individual bunker on the spot with the individual engineer shovel he carried with him.

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 move forward 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. This is especially true for the Japanese soldiers who are the attackers. Even though they know that the Chinese infantry are staring at them from behind the wall, trying to kill them, they have to obey 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, had a better record than the veterans who expected to shoot more valuable targets. He shot and killed three Japanese infantrymen whose rear hips were too high.

Compared to the not-so-excellent record of the dozen or so precision shooters selected by Tang Dao, the record of the remaining officers and soldiers of the company was actually even worse.

Due to 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 fire points exposed in the warehouse, they avoided the firing range of the fire 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 advancing, and they still walk in a zigzag curve, and few of them move straight forward.

As for the warehouse defenders, the strong walls of the warehouse brought tough defense, but it also 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. Each floor can only have no more than two squads of infantry.

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 Two light machine gunners were killed and one wounded.

At this time, the Japanese infantry artillery did not shell because the infantry was advancing. However, 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 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 artillery shell reserve has reached an extremely dangerous edge.

 Wakibajiro's move is cruel, but extremely effective.

The lieutenant colonel of the army looked at the ammunition consumption report brought by the major and battalion commander with a sad face, and a layer of gloom formed on his brows.
