Chapter 226 Westbound 9
Under the current conditions, another way is to use artillery rapid fire to cover large areas of firepower, and use the power of surface killer weapons to eliminate enemy shooters. The fifth company now has artillery, but only one 82mm mortar, and rapid fire cannot be said to cover large areas of firepower.
Both of the above methods do not work, so there is only one last method left to try. This method is to first determine the specific position of the shooter, then use artillery cover, and the infantry uses the smoke from the grenade to block the enemy's sight and approach the appropriate distance, and then use machine guns to intensive firepower to eliminate it.
By asking Wang Xingfu and other defeated soldiers again, Li Qinglin judged that there would be no more than three Japanese on this hill.
Li Qinglin ordered eleven combat groups to be formed with Czech machine guns as the core, each group consisting of five people, with the squad leader as the team leader, and led the combat team to surround the three sides of Xiaoshangang in combat formation.
The attack began, and the mortar in the fourth platoon finally became useful. Li Qinglin personally directed several artillery shooters to shoot at places where snipers might be hidden on the mountain. Amid the explosion of the mortar shells, eleven combat teams slowly siege to Xiaoshangang.
The battle team rushed forward quickly from the beginning, and the Japanese army on the mountain obviously felt the danger. As soon as eight hundred meters, "Eight Hook!", a gunshot, a soldier fell down; "Eight Hook", another soldier fell down!
When the people next to him saw their comrades falling down, they stopped to prepare for treatment. At this moment, another gunshot from the "Eight Hooks" fell down!
"Don't stop, keep rushing!" The enemy's gunshots were indeed very accurate. Stop at this time would lead to death. Li Qinglin hurriedly shouted forward.
Each group had bomb droppers. They dropped a grenade forward, and the people behind rushed forward with the cover of the bomb smoke.
The national army was approaching, and the Japanese army on the mountain fired more and more times. From the gunshots, it could be heard that there were only two 38-large bulbs on the hills shooting.
As the enemy fired more times, their location was basically exposed. Li Qinglin commanded the artillery shells to fire a shell at two locations.
"Bang! Bang!" After two sounds, the attack team advanced again. This time, only one gun was heard on the hills shooting. Li Qinglin judged that the other person had either been killed or had escaped.
The sniper's ability is indeed very strong, but it is not omnipotent. The so-called shots can only be achieved under specific conditions. The offensive team of the fifth company attacked Shangang in a fan shape. Each of the eleven groups poses a fatal threat to him, so it is difficult for him to choose a target.
All the soldiers of the fifth company were veterans, using individual tactics such as snake-shaped maneuvering, short assaults, and layer-by-layer leaping. Now, although the distance is getting closer and the Japanese gunfire is getting more and more frequent, there are no more casualties.
All the teams reached three or four hundred meters away, and everyone stopped and concealed on the spot. The machine gunners found favorable terrain and land to set up good machine gun positions.
"Shoot!" Xiao Liuzi, who was on the front line, gave an order, and three machine guns in his platoon aimed at a big tree and shot densely. According to the division of the shooting area before attack, the other two platoons also chose a big tree for targets to shoot violently.
Each big tree has two rounds of shooting, and each shot has three machine guns to fire one magazine bullet. Fortunately, there are only seven or eight big trees on the hills. After one round of shooting, Xiao Liuzi was still worried and ordered to fire a magazine at each location where the snipers on the mountain might be ambushed.
After the machine guns were intensively fired, Xiao Liuzi ordered the teams to move forward for a while, and this time he never heard the gunshots again.
Eleven teams carefully climbed the hills. After careful search, they finally found a Japanese soldier who was killed in a grass. They found a sniper with two bombs on a big tree. His body and the sniper rifle were still hung on the tree branch.
The Japanese sniper who was killed did not fall because he tied himself to a tree. In order to avoid being shaken by the rifle recoil while shooting, he tied himself to the big tree with a rope. Therefore, even if he was shot twice, his body was still hung on the tree.
The battle ahead was over, and Li Qinglin followed with others. He asked a soldier to climb up the tree and put down the Japanese corpse, and then asked him to carefully take down the rifle.
The front end of the gun is wrapped in a piece of sackcloth, and an optical scope with a ratio of 2.5 is installed on the left. The trademark on the scope is Japan Optical Co., Ltd.
As soon as the sniper rifle was taken down, Xiao Liuzi said in surprise: "Boss, what kind of gun is this? Why are you still carrying a small mirror?"
"This is the Type 97 sniper rifle." Li Qinglin said.
"What is the Nine Seven Style? Isn't it just a small mirror added to the 38th cover?" Xiao Liuzi said.
"This is called an optical scope. Its structural principle is like a monocular telescope, but there is a sight crosshair inside to aim and shoot." Li Qinglin replied while fiddling with the gun.
Xiao Liuzi took the sniper rifle, picked it up and glanced at the distance through the scope, then held it in his hand and said, "Isn't this a 38 gun? It's just that the handle of the puller is long and curved, and the buttstock is a little lighter, and a scope is added to it."
Li Qinglin cherished this gun very much. He took it and quickly decomposed it, wiped it, then assembled it, and then put it into a special canvas gun bag made by the Japanese slamrator himself.
After installing it, he said to Xiao Liuzi: "You can't say that he is in the 38th Style. The 38th Large Cover itself has high shooting accuracy. The basic components of this 97 Type sniper rifle are exactly the same as Type 38, but each Type 97 sniper rifle is carefully selected from the thousands of 38th Large Covers. The selected guns are equipped with scopes and then sent to the battlefield after strict debugging."
When Xiao Liuzi heard Li Qinglin say this, he hurriedly said, "Boss, this gun is so powerful, so send it to me, right?"
Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Your marksmanship is not good. This gun must be used by people who can use it to be powerful."
Xiao Liuzi curled his lips and said, "If you want to use it, just say it directly, and you still find so many reasons."
The Japanese sniper also carried a leather picture bag with him, which contained small objects such as maps, compass, flashlights, pens, notebooks, and lens papers that wiped the scope.
Opening the map, Li Qinglin searched for the local place name, which is called Yushupo. Li Qinglin picked up the map and the compass and said happily: "With the map and the compass, we don't have to ask people when we march in the future."
Xiao Liuzi picked up the compass and said, "Do you like this thing? We have seized it before. Everyone said it was a compass that looked at Feng Shui, but later it was sold."
Li Qinglin raised his compass and said angrily and amused: "Is this a compass that depends on Feng Shui? You can think of it. Why don't you sell the rifle as a fire stick?"
