This operation was the first time that the brothers stepped onto the battlefield after the Central Plains War more than a year ago. It was also the first time that the brothers stepped onto the anti-Japanese battlefield. All the old brothers once again experienced the kind of war where life and death were shared and dependent on each other. Atmosphere.
A long-lost familiar feeling returned to Zhou Wen and his brothers, so everyone was happy and even excited.
The first sniper Zhang Xiaoping and his good brother Ti Jing quickly disappeared to the right side of the position. Tian Boguang, who had now firmly taken the position of the second sniper, disappeared to the left side of the position with his partner Tieniu.
Now Tian Boguang has gained the complete trust of his brothers. What Miaohua said at that time was absolutely correct. Tian Boguang was also one of those people with high shooting talent. In addition, he had undergone rigorous training in Japan for many years. After returning from Tianjin, his body was transformed by Zhou Wen using Prajna Qi. , specially asked Zhang Xiaoping to take him for training, and he has mastered all sniper skills very proficiently.
The most important thing is that his psychological quality is very good, even Zhou Wen finds it incredible. I don't know if it's the Japanese education method, or it's related to his growing environment and experience. Maybe it's all related. Anyway, Zhou Wen has discovered this advantage of his since the last time he went to Tianjin to dress up as a Japanese noble.
You must know that it was also the first time that Tian Boguang did such a thing, and it was such a big thing as robbing a bank. In the end, this guy was calm and calm, and he performed a well-educated, graceful and charming Japanese nobleman vividly and wonderfully. Qiao, in the end, he actually developed an insider and kidnapped a beautiful woman to be his wife. Ordinary people, even if they are Japanese nobles, would not be able to do this.
Zhou Wen fully considered the two strong men of the mercenary group as partners for the two snipers. Needless to say, Tieniu's character is also relatively simple, so he needs a quick-thinking and person like Tian Boguang. Smart people complement each other, and the two strong men are the only anti-tank fighters in the mercenary group. They also need to learn many sniper skills, and at the same time, they can cover each other together.
Of course, in a battle like today, there is no need to bring an anti-tank gun. The body is just a Somi submachine gun and a dozen German long-handled grenades. Tieniu simply carries an MG on his back. 13 machine guns.
Moreover, what Tian Boguang used today was not the German G98 standard sniper rifle, but the German G-31 semi-automatic rifle with a suppressor, but with a quadruple scope. This is also the difference between him and Zhang Xiaoping. Zhang Xiaoping believes that long range is king. As long as he is in the wild, he only uses the G98 standard sniper rifle equipped with a six-fold scope. However, Tian Boguang uses two types of sniper rifles according to needs. The guns are used interchangeably.
In the cold winter wind outside Songhu, Zhou Wen and his brothers were quietly lurking, preparing for a relaxing hunt.
In the early morning, gunfire finally came from the Yunzhao defense line. Zhou Wen felt more relaxed at this time. Sure enough, he had predicted the Japanese attack time. Half an hour later, fierce gunfire also came from the direction of Zhaojiaqiao.
Zhou Wen could tell Meng Yuting's plan from the sequence of machine gunfire and artillery fire. It was a rhythm that wanted to keep a whole brigade of Japanese troops behind, which showed that every step of the enemy was guessed by the mercenary group. We will see the following two Can the new recruits in the detachment, who are on the battlefield for the first time, perform at the level of their usual training?
When a glimmer of morning light began to appear on the horizon, Zhang Xiaoping's voice rang in Zhou Wen's ears, "Brother, they are coming out. There are three sharp soldiers in front and more than 70 people in the back. They are in search formation."
In fact, without Zhang Xiaoping's call, Zhou Wen had already seen several slowly moving black spots gradually appearing in the distance.
The three Japanese soldiers with camouflaged reed leaves all over their bodies were very careful. Every time they walked, they had to stop and carefully observe their surroundings. The dozens of Japanese troops behind them were spread out widely, and they always kept a distance of about 100 meters from the soldiers. .
Zhou Wen still has some appreciation for the tactical prowess of these Japanese troops. The distance between the leading soldiers and the main force is very reasonable. The Japanese army formations that have been deployed in battle formations are spread out widely. For the Chinese army to adopt such a wide battle formation, it usually requires a battalion. strength, otherwise it will lead to excessive dispersion of troops and firepower.
The commander of this Japanese army was obviously very confident. Perhaps he believed that the elite men he led could still maintain sufficient firepower under such a width. Zhou Wen estimated that his confidence came from the precise shooting skills of these Japanese rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers.
The advantage of this kind of team is that if it is ambushed by the enemy, it will be difficult for the ambush party to achieve the desired results in the first wave of firepower if the ambush position is not wide enough, the number of people is not large enough, and the firepower is not dense enough. And if there are too many people, it will be difficult to avoid the detection of the enemy's top soldiers.
Once the top Japanese soldiers are discovered or attacked, the four machine guns and four grenade launchers of the Japanese army in the center can immediately support and suppress them on the spot, especially when the Japanese army has a detachment on the left and right and pulls out a line of skirmishers. The advantage of the line is that once you encounter the enemy head-on, if the enemy is strong, you can defend on the left and right to cover the two wings of the main force. If the enemy is weak, after suppressing the enemy's firepower, the two wings will take the opportunity to outflank.
Zhou Wen knew at a glance that this was a tactic set up by the Japanese army specifically against the Chinese army, which was to bully the Chinese army's backward weapons, poor shooting skills, and sparse heavy firepower.
If the number of Chinese troops is small and the firepower of the ambush is not concentrated and accurate enough, it will be difficult to cause large casualties to the Japanese troops at a distance of about 200 meters when faced with scattered individual formations. Will be discovered by the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese army's reaction speed on the battlefield is very fast. As soon as the gun fires from the opposite side, their soldiers will immediately find bunkers or lie down on the spot, and then look for targets to fight back. At the same time, their machine guns and grenade launchers will quickly look for me. The enemy's heavy firepower and light machine gun firepower suppressed it.
The quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese army during this period was indeed very high. The soldiers' marksmanship was accurate, and the machine guns and grenade launchers were all operated by experienced veterans. It can be said that the Chinese army with the same number or even twice the number of people within a distance of 100-200 meters could not Not an opponent.
Even the most ordinary grenade hand in the Japanese army only needs to test fire two rounds to accurately locate the target. The hit error of the third shot will not exceed one meter, and the absolute killing radius of the Japanese grenade launcher's 50mm grenade is is 3 meters, and the effective killing radius is 5-8 meters.
The theoretical rate of fire of the Japanese Taisho 10-year-old grenade is 20 rounds per minute. In actual operation, a skilled veteran can fire 18 rounds per minute. If the time for finding bunkers and aiming is added, the rate is 10 rounds per minute. Calculating the firing speed, then a heavy machine gun or light machine gun of the Chinese army may be destroyed by a Japanese grenade as long as it fires continuously for about 20 seconds.
