Chapter 299 Difficulty
Zhang Yunfei angrily spat out the mud he had chewed, saying that all his men were fucking crooked.
Li Ergou has a really strong sense of danger. He can feel the danger even from such a distance. He is really good material as a guard.
The way he protects people is unique enough. This guy's kick was accurate and hard. He probably wanted to kick him for a long time, but now he finally got the chance.
"Li Er, don't pretend to be dead. Come here and be my assistant shooter. Hu Zi, when the gun fires, go and see if the instructor is dead." Zhang Yunfei crawled and dragged the sacrificed machine gunner Czech-style.
The combat power of this Japanese advancing team was vastly different from the previous Japanese advancing team. At this time, Zhang Yunfei did not dare to raise his telescope and observe the enemy's position.
It was unlucky for Yang Junjie to stand with him. Among the Japanese soldiers, wearing glasses was nothing. Among the Eighth Route Army, wearing glasses must be a cadre, and he was in a command position, so it was strange that he was not targeted by snipers.
Zhang Yunfei dragged the light machine gun towards a hidden boulder on the hillside. The Japanese sniper rifle was, to put it bluntly, a Type 38 or Type 99 rifle with a scope installed.
But in this era, snipers are an unsolvable existence, but fortunately, the Japanese sniper rifle does not actually go beyond the scope of ordinary rifles.
However, Zhang Yunfei also did not have the confidence to suppress Japanese snipers from a long distance, not to mention that staying here in the slightly open terrain was basically a living target.
Getting as close to the hillside as possible became his only choice. He felt that the Japanese snipers were still staring at him. Of course, he also hoped that the other party would keep an eye on him. In this era, such snipers were too much of a threat.
However, what Zhang Yunfei did in this situation was very, very dangerous for ordinary Japanese veterans, not to mention facing Japanese snipers.
But he had no choice. Now the soldiers of the second battalion were shot one by one when the Japanese sniper rifles fired. They were either dead or injured, and almost no one was spared.
Qi Dajiu is a useless snack. Although his team fights extremely bravely and is not afraid of death, they may still be able to fight against the elite Japanese.
However, in the face of the Japanese special operations, it was not about fighting without fear of death. Although there were many of them, they were suppressed by the Japanese and were beaten very hard.
Once the Japs are condescending and rely on strong firepower and precise hits, they will not be able to take advantage of their numerical advantage. If this continues, their troops will not be able to hold on for long before they are completely defeated by the Japs.
Unable to watch helplessly as the Second Battalion was suppressed and unable to move, Zhang Yunfei had to take the risk of holding back the Japanese snipers.
With a grimace, Li Ergou pulled out the bullet bag from the deputy shooter and carried it on his body. The unlucky kid had already fallen into a pool of blood and made no sound.
As the deputy shooter, he was not the priority target of the Japanese snipers. People like him and Huzi also did not receive the first round of attacks from the Japanese snipers.
But the Japs lost the machine gunner and the commander's target hand, so they naturally pointed their guns at little shrimps like them. The deputy shooter naturally became the target. This guy was a little slow to dodge, and his life was lost.
He doesn't like this the most. It's too exciting. His life may be over at any time. That's the bad thing about following Boss Zhang. Sometimes he has to fight hard.
Zhang Yunfei ordered the soldiers around him to shoot at the hillside. When shooting from this distance, there was basically no enemy attack.
But at least it can disrupt the opponent's line of sight, distract the opponent's attention, create some opportunities for Zhang Yunfei to move towards the target, and at the same time attract the opponent's machine gun fire, preventing the enemy's fire from focusing too much on him alone.
Against special operations like the Japs, there is really no advantage in skirmishing, but it is even worse if they are gathered together, and then a large area will be wiped out.
This was the difficulty of their unit. When fighting against the enemy, they had to use shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. Most of the people who were suppressed by the Japanese were unable to raise their heads and counterattack. They could only lie on the ground and shoot randomly towards the hillside where the gunshots were heard.
If you use a volley of guns, you might be able to deceive the enemy, but this kind of skirmishing marksmanship really doesn't pose much of a threat to the enemies on the mountain.
However, he did not care about wasting precious bullets at this time. After giving the order, Zhang Yunfei took advantage of the random shooting to disturb the enemy's sight and attention, and quickly moved towards his target.
After finally being sniped by the Japs, Zhang Yunfei moved to a hiding place, directly raised the Czech gun in his hand, pointed it directly at the position where he shot, without taking any aim, and fired a long point shot.
He didn't expect to kill the opponent with a long burst of fire. He just wanted to interfere with the opponent's line of sight and influence the opponent's judgment, so as to induce the opponent to shoot again and determine the opponent's specific position.
Japanese snipers were too great a threat to machine gunners. In such a short period of time, the second battalion's machine gunners were basically replaced.
After firing a long burst, Zhang Yunfei immediately retracted behind the big stone bunker with the machine gun. Zhang Yunfei unloaded the magazine and manually grabbed the spare magazine from Li Ergou.
He ordered Li Ergou: "Remember, I will move on the horse. Look at my gestures. The direction of my finger is the direction of the next move. Which direction do you throw the grenade to cover me."
"Remember, don't give me a fright at this time. The Japs' gunmen are aiming at me and they can't kill you."
Li Ergou nodded silently, Zhang Yunfei took out a grenade, unscrewed the safety cover, pulled out the fuse cord with his teeth, and threw it out.
The hand grenade made in the border area may have many shortcomings, but it has the advantage that the smoke is large and can now be used as a smoke bomb.
At least it was enough to cover Zhang Yunfei's short-term actions and move his position. Zhang Yunfei used the smoke cover of the grenade to quickly move to another direction with the machine gun in hand, then raised the machine gun and fired again.
Zhang Yunfei's constant tactical maneuvers, one man and one machine gun, kept suppressing the Japanese snipers.
The Japanese snipers also noticed Zhang Yunfei's actions and immediately focused more attention on him, trying to think of the machine gunner who posed a threat to them.
Zhang Yunfei judged the location of the Japs' sniper quite accurately. He held the Czech style and ignored the machine gun fire blockade from the Japs. Under the cover of the grenades thrown by Li Ergou, he kept changing positions.
Using the Czech type in the general's hand as a submachine gun, he drew the attention of the respective snipers to himself and relieved the pressure on the machine gun firepower of the second battalion.
Zhang Yunfei still killed a Japanese sniper. It was not because he was really lucky, but because the Japanese sniper could not be considered a sniper at all.
To be more precise, they are more like dead soldiers, snipers in the general army. The survival of snipers is very important. Basically, they have to move their position after firing a shot.
The Japanese snipers were very cruel to them. Sometimes they would just tie them to trees or bury them in the ground, so there was no need to move them.
Therefore, their fighting philosophy is to solve the target as much as possible and do not care about their own safety.
Moreover, the bullets fired from the mountain are completely inaccurate, and the Japanese snipers with almost abnormal psychological quality should not take it seriously. Moreover, Zhang Yunfei's machine gun, most of the time, only disrupts their effect. In this regard, the Japanese
There is no need to move positions.
The Japs' snipers did not move their positions. They tried several times to roughly determine the Japs' sniper's position. Zhang Yunfei's machine gun countered the previous disruptive shooting and fired accurately with long bursts, directly beating the Japs' snipers into sieves.
The best way to deal with the Japanese's bizarre and half-baked sniper tactics is the machine gun. This is clearly recorded in war history.
When the other Japs snipers saw their comrades being killed by the enemy, they naturally no longer dared to stubbornly stay in one position and immediately moved their positions.
However, at this time, he completely focused on Zhang Yunfei and did not care about the other Eighth Route Army troops.
Zhang Yunfei's place was constantly buzzing with explosions and machine gunfire, and it was difficult not to attract attention. One of the Japs' machine gunners also noticed the situation on his side, and immediately turned his gun and fired in his direction.
He was immediately suppressed and could not raise his head in a hidden depression. However, Zhang Yunfei did not try to fight back at this time, because he knew that the Japanese sniper who had freed his hands was staring at him with his gun.
If you pay attention, you will be killed by Japanese snipers.
Seeing that he didn't have any firepower to counterattack, the Japanese machine gunner fired for a while and then turned his gun to suppress the other firepower.
Zhang Yunfei, who was lying in the depression, carefully observed the battlefield while taking off his hat and placing it on the other side as a false target to attract Japanese snipers to shoot.
Zhang Yunfei took out the shell gun from his waist, put on the holster, and looked at the Czech machine gun in his hand. He carefully poked out the edge of his hat. When the muzzle of the machine gun poked out of the depression, [Update soon].
The Japanese sniper's gunfire rang out. Zhang Yunfei took advantage of the sound of the gunfire and took advantage of the opponent's retraction. Zhang Yunfei immediately sat up, with the holster pressed against his shoulder, and the opponent continued to attack from the direction where the gunfire came from.
Because the Japs wanted to disguise their Eighth Route Army, they used 79-caliber rifles, and the Japs 97 rifle was actually an improved model of the Type 38. Although the gunfire was noisy, the gunfire of the 97 rifle was still very special.
It was easy to locate the Japanese sniper's position. After firing several shots, Zhang Yunfei turned over, grabbed the machine gun thrown aside, and continued to shoot at that Fang Wei.
After all, that place was a bit far away, and the lethality of the shell gun was a bit insufficient, so it might not hit the opponent. In order to be more secure, he fired machine guns to make up for it.
Zhang Yunfei fired hard and fired all the bullets in the magazine. After waiting for a long time, he no longer thought of the unique gunshot of the Japanese sniper rifle, so he felt relieved.
On the battlefield, snipers are too annoying, especially since they don't have many countermeasures, which makes it even more troublesome.
Only then, Li Ergouzi crawled over, and Zhang Yunfei glanced at him angrily, becoming even more convinced that the Japanese sniper had really been killed by him.
This guy is so damn afraid of death and is very sensitive to danger. Being able to come here now means that the threat has been temporarily lifted.
With the cooperation of Li Ergou, the deputy shooter, their makeshift machine gun team kept firing at the Japs' machine gun positions, reducing the pressure on the Second Battalion's attack.
The Japs' snipers disappeared. Although the Japs' firepower was still accurate, the situation of being doomed as long as they were targeted was no longer there, which still reduced a lot of pressure on the troops.
Under the cross cover of five machine guns, the entire unit moved towards the Japanese front. Only in close combat could the Eighth Route Army realize its superiority in strength.
At long distances, the shooting accuracy of the most elite Eighth Route Army soldiers was no match for this group of specially selected Japs. However, as the distance increased, the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the Second Battalion improved a lot, and the numerical advantage finally came into play.
Although the Second Battalion had its advantage in close combat, the elite of this group of Japanese soldiers also exerted their advantage in accurate and ruthless firepower, and the casualties of the Second Battalion also increased sharply.
Although there are not many veterans of the Red Army or the Eighth Route Army in their army, there are still many veterans who have experienced several tough battles. They are now included in the regular divisional headquarters troops.
Moreover, Qi Dajiu was good at leading troops. Faced with the fierce Japanese firepower, the Second Battalion did not collapse even though it suffered heavy casualties, and was even slowly advancing forward.
The Eighth Route Army is also an iron-clad force. It used to focus on guerrilla warfare, but now it is encountering such a tough situation. The situation is indeed too cruel.
Even veterans with some combat experience have rarely seen such a bloody battlefield. Although their front lines have advanced a lot, the situation has not improved much.
The Japanese were condescending and attacked the attacking troops on the hillside. They were so suppressed that it was difficult for them to even raise their heads.
Zhang Yunfei cursed: "Qi Dajiu, don't fucking rush up. How much have you filled in? Hurry up and send people to kill the Japanese machine gun positions."
They were a bit far away from the Japanese position, and they were attacking upwards. Even if they wanted to charge regardless of casualties, they wouldn't be able to charge forward.
The Japanese's intensive firepower can smash their charging troops into sieves.
This group of guys are the elite among the elite of the Japanese army. The three machine guns are deployed in a very dangerous shape. Fortunately, this group of guys is different from the last time he encountered the advance team. Probably because they can move more easily and quickly, they do not carry heavy machine guns.
Of course, the main reason is that the nature of their combat missions is different. Their last advance team was also responsible for sabotage missions, and this advance team is mainly focused on reconnaissance, so naturally it will not carry heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns.
The Japanese's three machine guns and their fairly accurate rifle fire blocked the Second Battalion's attack route with crossfire.
The firepower configuration of this group of Japs did not exceed the standard configuration of the Japs by much, but the combat effectiveness they exerted was different. The firepower configuration was maximized.
This put the Second Battalion's attack into trouble for a while.
