.    ?Chapter 383 The myth is shattered (2)

    The moment Ouyang Nan jumped into the crater, he felt as if he was being targeted, so he chose to avoid it temporarily.

    He is only 20 years old this year, but he has been a veteran for four years. When he was 16 years old, he went to serve as a soldier in the Guangxi Army because his family was poor. Shortly after the year of 1911, Tang Jiyao led his troops into Guangxi and almost destroyed Guilin. Fortunately, the National Defense Force quickly moved south, and that was him  It was the first time I saw what a real soldier was. While leading the attack on Guilin City, I met Qiu Wenbin, the current commander of the 103rd Central Guard Division. With his help, I successfully entered the guard company training camp at that time.

    Because Guangxi produced a gun master, Lu Baiyi, the Guijun army generally has a tradition of practicing marksmanship. When he was a soldier, he followed the veterans to practice marksmanship. He was also pointed out and praised. After he arrived in the National Defense Force, the training of soldiers was not limited to bullets, but  There were also strict assessments, so I practiced more happily. It was precisely because I became more and more accurate in shooting that my life also took a 180-degree turn. Not only was I selected to go to Sichuan together with veterans who also had good marksmanship,  In the Jaeger training camp, several German instructors specialized in teaching Jaeger (snipers were called Jaegers at that time) techniques. After graduation, he was spotted by everyone's coveted 1st Field Division.

    Different from ordinary soldiers, these people are called snipers. This new term was invented by the commander-in-chief. Their mission is to snipe and kill officers and more threatening targets in war. The Type 12C rifle in his hand is also very different.  , the drawings were provided in China and then handed over to Germany for manufacturing. Not only is it equipped with a German 2.5x sight, the barrel is a little longer than the ordinary model, but two riflings are added to the barrel, making the shooting accuracy higher. The bullets are also designed and designed by the commander-in-chief.  It is specially customized by Germany. In Germany, this kind of bullet is called K-type bullet. The shell is made of pure copper instead of painted steel. Because it contains a tungsten core, it is heavier than ordinary bullets. During training, it can penetrate a three-layer wooden target within 300 meters.

    The German instructor liked this kind of bullet very much. On his recommendation, the German army exchanged a set of equipment for manufacturing this kind of bullet for the technology. However, the current domestic processing accuracy does not meet the requirements, so it must continue to use expensive German products.

    A complete set of these guns is very expensive. It is said that one can buy a light machine gun. Only snipers like him can distribute them.  Chasseurs are also an emerging force in Europe, and all countries are exploring the combat methods and uses of chasseurs. Therefore, after graduation, they each received a sniper manual written by the commander and took it back after learning it by heart.

    He firmly remembered the first sentence at the beginning of the manual. The value of a sniper's existence is to obtain the maximum victory at the minimum cost.  And this is what he has to do now, to help his comrades break through the Japanese positions, but first he must deal with the person who is targeting him.

    So he took out a small mirror from his pocket, then moved it up a little bit with the tip of the knife, using the reflection of the lens to see what was going on outside.

    The world inside the lens is very chaotic, with explosions, dead bodies and pictures of comrades being hit everywhere.  Fortunately, he had seen something more tragic than this back in Guilin. The Jaeger training camp also told him that the more critical the moment, the more calm he had to be, so he slowly moved the mirror from left to right, hoping to find that person.

    The hard work paid off, and he soon discovered that on the left side of the Japanese position, about 200 meters away from the crater, there was a soldier wearing the uniform of the Japanese South-Manchuria Railway Guards with his gun pointed straight here.  200 meters!  This means that the rifle in the enemy's hand can also hit you, so you must take some cover.

    So he checked the rifle first, pushed in a K-type bullet, took a few deep breaths to get himself in the best condition, and then suddenly raised the mirror and reflected it in the direction of the sun.  Sure enough, Sasaki, who had been paying attention to him, closed his eyes subconsciously after being pierced by a flash of light. Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Nan immediately raised his gun and put him into the crosshair of the scope.

    Sasaki probably wouldn't have thought until his death that the Battle of God's Blessing, which all Japan was looking forward to, had just begun. He only fired three useless shots at the plane and said goodbye to this war forever. If he had known better, Izumoshita might have regretted why he didn't immediately  Return to Japan to study at Army University to avoid the war.

    Snapped!

    It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world. The monotonous sound of gunfire did not attract much attention amidst the explosions, shouts and continuous shooting. However, the head of the Japanese soldier aiming at him in the mirror has been cut off in half, with white brains and red blood.  The mixed misery scared several Japanese soldiers nearby to dodge.

    This scene made Ouyang Nan curl up his lips in contempt, thinking that the Japanese army was really made of steel, so they would be afraid!  The Japanese army's spirit of being invincible and preferring to be destroyed rather than destroyed seems to be just a myth that cannot withstand scrutiny, but no one has yet beaten them back to their original form!  After the man who was targeting him fell, he felt a lot more relaxed and immediately moved to a pine tree and fired a second shot.

    A Japanese major just stuck his head out, and a K-type bullet passed through his left eye socket.

    Thousands of people cheeringDuring the battle, Takeda Ai did not notice a sniper hiding in the chaos. Even Fang Wei himself did not realize the role of the sniper. However, Zhang Zizhong, commander of the third battalion of the 442nd Regiment, saw Ouyang Nan's performance.  One man and one gun, hiding in the chaos, almost every shot is sure to hit. In less than a moment, six Japanese soldiers died under his gun, four of them were officers!

    After a shot to the head of a Japanese soldier who had stripped off his shirt and looked extremely fierce, someone in the Japanese position finally realized that something was wrong, because any soldier who raised his head or leaned out would always be mercilessly killed, so he immediately sent out people to search  These gunmen.

    Ouyang Nan, a company in the 22nd Regiment, had a total of three snipers. With their accurate marksmanship, they were quickly targeted by the veterans sent by the Japanese army. After a period of screaming, Ouyang Nan was discovered. The heavy machine gun in the slanting stab was quickly  Turn around.  Tuk-tuk-tuk Hotchkiss is not as perverted as Maxim, but it is also the weapon that all infantrymen fear most. A series of bullets raked the rocks where he was hiding, emitting countless sparks.

    "careful."

    Just when Ouyang Nan was about to move, a cannonball fell from the sky. He was also hit by a man rushing up from behind and rolled several times. When the two rolled into a pothole, they discovered that it was a handsome-looking captain.

    "Zhang Zizhong, the company commander of the 442nd Regiment."

    "Ouyang Nan of the 22nd Regiment."

    Ouyang Nan, who was lying on the ground, couldn't salute, but he was still grateful to Zhang Zizhong for saving his life: "Thank you, Captain Zhang, why did you come in front?"

    "I heard that the Japanese soldiers were very strong, so I came here to see them." Zhang Zizhong gave up his writing and joined the army last year to join the 20th Beiyang Division. Before he could use a rifle, the 20th Division was organized and merged into the 14th Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces. After more than a year of hard work,  His outstanding performance in training and bandit suppression allowed him to rise from soldier to company commander. If a war had not happened, he would have been recommended to study at the National Defense University.  I was attracted to him just now after seeing his amazing marksmanship. I looked at his rifle curiously and heard that his accent was from Guangxi. I asked, "My brother's accent is from Guangxi. Did you learn the marksmanship from Lu Baiyi?"

    Ouyang Nan quickly glanced at the Japanese position and saw a Japanese soldier sticking his head out to observe. He quickly locked it and said: "I practiced it myself." As soon as he finished speaking, the bullet flew out. Although it missed the vital point, it still hit the Japanese soldier.  The shoulder blade was shattered.

    Zhang Zizhong was secretly speechless. He thought that if he faced several such soldiers, he would not even know how to die. When he was about to ask again, he heard a shout from beside him: "Company Commander, the Japanese reserve team is coming up."  Got it!"

    Facing three infantry battalions of the National Defense Forces armed to the teeth, Takeda Ai felt the pressure increase suddenly. He found that as long as he was rushed within 300 meters by the National Defense Forces, his side would be attacked by overwhelming firepower, not to mention a large number of light machine guns.  Just the kind of grenade that one person can carry around gives him a huge headache. He has seen several grenadiers hiding behind bunkers more than once, firing at their own side from 300 meters away, and then the shells accurately fall into the fortifications and trenches and explode.  It makes people fall on their backs.

    If grenades are a nightmare for infantry, then the heavy artillery of unknown types on the flanks is simply a nightmare for bunkers. Several civil fortifications were blown to pieces by them. In order to deal with these small, fast-moving artillery, our own artillery was already exhausted.  To deal with it, the huge losses forced him to use his reserves in advance.

    After more than 300 Japanese reserve troops joined in, the shaky position was finally stabilized. The Japanese army took advantage of the suppression of the snipers and boldly launched a counterattack, forcing the National Defense Forces to push back the defense forces who were barely able to invade the position.

    "***!"

    Seeing that this wave of attacks failed, Fang Wei stamped his feet angrily, but he had to admit the tenacity of the Japanese army in his heart. If it were placed in the domestic army, facing firepower of his own level, the position would have been breached long ago.

    "Send three artillery squads to go around from the right and concentrate their firepower on knocking out the machine gun fort over there!"

    "The 1st Battalion of the 442nd Regiment went to the left, and the retreating troops also pretended to attack the left, and concentrated all the grenade launchers that could be mobilized to the right. Second Battalion! After the machine gun fort is knocked out, mortars and grenade launchers will be given to  You guys open the way and charge me to death to clear this point!" Fang Wei didn't want to give his opponent any chance to breathe, so he quickly drew an offensive line on the map, using three infantry battalions, mortars on the front and the hill on the right.  Cover, put up a strong attack posture, take advantage of the opportunity that Japan was confused about the mortars and their numbers, and let a small number of artillery units make a roundabout way to launch a second wave of strong attacks.

    This is a tactic that the National Defense Forces practiced hard after the mortars were officially put into use. It originated from the roundabout tactics of Japanese artillery in World War II that Yang Qiu was familiar with. It is also one of the most effective mortar tactics proven.

    The 22nd Regiment, which had not been on the battlefield for several years, quickly made adjustments as planned. The remaining five field guns on the front and the six 120mm mortars on the hill on the right began to bombard the enemy's right wing. The three infantrymen  The battalion also gritted its teeth and attacked in that direction again. The entire Japanese right wing was hit by artillery shells and machine guns.After repeated ravages, Takeda Ai had to devote most of his reserve team in this direction.

    The gap exposed on the left wing was quickly seized. Three 80mm mortars appeared on the hill on the left without any warning. In just five minutes, 90 rounds of artillery shells were fired. The most important machine gun fort of the Japanese army was continuously fired.  Several shells exploded after entering.  After losing the machine gun, the firepower of the left wing position was greatly reduced. Taking this opportunity, 3 mortars and 12 grenade launchers all used their full strength to bombard the Japanese position indiscriminately.

    The eyes of Takeda Ai and his officers were about to burst, and they began to wonder whether they were in front of a division or a regiment.  Six cannons were confirmed from the front, and there were at least six heavy cannons on the left side of the position. Now there is another cannon on the right side!  Coupled with the small artillery that can be carried by an individual soldier, an engineering regiment of one's own can face at least 30 cannons of various types!  When did the Chinese army become so luxurious?  The total number of artillery pieces of the two regiments has exceeded that of a Japanese regiment!  Moreover, their artillery moves too fast. Cannons of several hundred kilograms cannot be pulled so easily even by horses!

    "The Chinese are coming up!"

    When the officer shouted, Takeda Ai immediately raised his telescope and saw hundreds of soldiers charging like hungry wolves with their heads down on the right front of the position. Since the machine guns were blown up, most of the reserve troops were on the left.  , the position quickly fell into panic under the intensive shell attack. Seeing this situation, he couldn't care less, pulled out his saber and shouted: "Everyone who can shoot, follow me!"

    Dozens of officers and civilians were all gathered together, and even the Manchurian troops were forced to the front line under the Japanese bayonets. Takeda Ai waved his saber and rushed to the front in person, but he did not know that he had been locked in the crosshairs.  central.

    Zhang Zizhong's company had all withdrawn to rest, but he did not want to give up this rare opportunity to see how the Japanese army fought at close range, so he followed Ouyang Nan all the time. When he saw him aiming at a Japanese lieutenant colonel waving a saber 300 meters away, he couldn't help but  Muttering: "Brother Ouyang, is it too far?"

    Ouyang Nan did not answer, and concentrated on following Takeda Ai's figure to find the best opportunity.

    Takeda Ai is worthy of being a veteran officer who survived the Russo-Japanese War. Even when fighting, he pays special attention to protecting himself, so his movements are always too fast to catch, and several escorting soldiers are also around to block the shooting position. Zhang Zizhong secretly  I guess there is no chance.

    But at this moment, Ouyang Nan shot!

    Zhang Zizhong, who was holding the telescope, almost didn't scream. Although the lieutenant colonel stopped, there was still a scapegoat in front of him. Wasn't this just a warning?  A fleeting thought arrived almost at the same time as the bullet. Just when he thought that shooting with the protection of a human shield would only alert the enemy, the scene in the lens made him suddenly open his mouth.

    All I saw was a flash of blood on the chest of the soldier standing in front of the lieutenant colonel. Before he could fall down, the command knife in the hands of the lieutenant colonel behind him also fell to the ground. The Japanese officers around him were even more confused and shouting, obviously.  The bullets penetrated both men at the same time.

    How can it be?  !

    At a distance of 300 meters, it is very difficult for a rifle bullet to penetrate two people, because the trajectory of the bullet will deflect after entering the body. How can it be as straight as now?  Ouyang Nan raised the corner of his mouth, but did not explain that K-type bullets could penetrate three layers of wood. He shyly picked up the bullet casing that fell on the ground and stuffed it into his pocket: "The copper one can be recycled"

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    In fact, Takeda Ai did not die directly. After the K-type bullet was injected into the chest from the left side of the body and drilled a big hole, it was actually not far from death.  Faced with the sudden loss of their commander, the Japanese army was also obviously in chaos. The 2nd Battalion of the 22nd Brigade seized the opportunity to break through the position in one fell swoop. When several light machine guns began to clear along the trenches under the cover of grenades and grenade launchers, Benxi encountered  The war has basically come to an end.

    By evening, detailed battle reports were sent back to the Fengtian Command Post. Fang Wei led the 22nd Regiment and the 442nd Regiment to capture the Benxi Nanfen Coal and Iron Mine at the cost of 411 casualties, annihilating an engineer regiment of the Japanese 16th Division.  , the South Manchuria Railway Guards and a cavalry battalion of the Manchurian Army totaled 2,372 people, and more than 1,300 people were killed, including Uehara Yusaku's favorite prot¨¦g¨¦, Lieutenant Colonel Ai Takeda.
