The vegetation on the hillside is not dense, and the shrubs and thatch are almost as deep as the people.
At a glance, you can see the small trees and thatch swaying in the bushes below, which are not blown by the mountain wind.
However, the rocks on the slope are rugged and uneven, and the enemy's body cannot be seen, so it is naturally impossible to determine the enemy's exact location.
The special agent company commander waved his hand.
A soldier pulled the trigger.
Bang...a bullet whizzed into the bushes.
Chug tug tug...
The bush continued to sway upward.
Bang bang...
Chug tug tug...thud tug tug...
The bushes swayed to a wider range...
Several consecutive test shots at the swaying bushes only elicited roaring fire back from two Type 96 light machine guns used by the Japanese for fire reconnaissance two hundred meters away.
The trajectory of shooting below is slightly different from shooting on the ground, but the deviation is not big at a distance of 200 meters.
Both sides were testing, and gunfire rang out from time to time in the valley, but no one seemed to hit anyone.
The observer from the secret service group knelt down on one knee, carefully watching the approaching shaking that was obviously not caused by the mountain wind blowing the bushes, and finally shouted in a low voice: "One hundred meters, prepare to shoot..."
Tang Xiaowei was a little excited. He unscrewed the back cover of the grenade and placed it beside him, blocking it with a piece of stone to prevent it from rolling away.
Pulling the ring directly into a line, looking at the hillside below with satisfaction.
When I heard the observer report that the enemy was one hundred meters away, my heart suddenly moved.
At this time, one hundred meters refers to the diagonal distance between the enemy and ourselves. If converted to flat ground... the actual distance should actually be only sixty or seventy meters.
The thrown grenade will continue to fly forward after it falls to the same level as you.
What did the instructor say? It seems to be approaching an angle of forty-five degrees... I don't quite understand the "degree". Anyway, it is half of the slope. It can be thrown a hundred meters on flat ground. In fact, it should be able to be thrown a hundred and twenty meters!
Being able to throw a grenade nearly a hundred meters away refers to the standing position!
But now that he is in a prone position, the throwing distance has to be compromised, and he probably won't be able to throw it that far.
It should be around a hundred, right?
It's a pity that my cultural background is so poor that I really don't understand the parabola the instructor talked about. I must ask questions carefully this time...
I have been forgetting it for a long time, and my mind is in a blur...
Forget it, let’s stick to our past experience of throwing stones at the foot of the mountain!
Earlier, the special company commander said... It seems that when shooting, you can only hit targets within your own range. It seems that there is no mention of whether to throw grenades to the enemy's range in front of you...
I need to ask about this, right?
Just as he was about to ask the soldier next to him, the observer's voice came: "Who is that... don't look around, the one who can throw a hundred meters... just you... throw two grenades quickly..."
Tang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and quickly put a grenade ring on his little finger...
The bushes below seemed to have stopped shaking.
Time passes by second by second, why is there no movement from the enemy?
The special company commander seemed to have said before...you can't shoot until you find the target, but can you throw grenades?
The enemy must not be stupid, he must have stopped advancing when he saw the distance between the two sides getting closer!
But it doesn't work if he stops?
Could he wait in the bushes below until dark?
The moonlight was very good these days, even if he waited until dark, it would be useless.
I feel a little anxious. If you move again, can't you let me throw a grenade to execute the order?
Unknowingly, I raised my head to see if there was any movement in the bushes a hundred meters away.
"Who is that? You hold a grenade and wait there to lay eggs?" the observer scolded.
Tang Xiaowei understood this time. If you hadn't told me earlier, you would have estimated the distance and thrown it to the place where it was shaking the most just now...
Holding the grenade, he straightened his taut arm and waved it in a semi-circle before letting go. The grenade was quickly released from his hand, and his tight little finger pulled off the fuse...
Quickly look up and see the grenade flying high...
Phew... Phew... Phew...
Three bullets flew rapidly through the camouflaged branches in front of me...
His head felt cold, and his military cap was ripped off by one of the bullets. The ring of the cap scratched his scalp and hurt him.
Then came the sudden sound of machine gun fire...
The grenade was still in the air when the enemy's machine gun fired first!
boom...
The gun that fired back at the machine gun roared into the bushes...
Tang Xiaowei didn't care about looking for his military hat, and he also forgot to look at where the grenade landed.
Hurry and shrink back...
His heart was beating rapidly and his whole body was tense.
His face turned red and his mind went blank.
More than a hundred eyes below are staring at this horizontal ridge. If the movement is slightly larger, the enemy will naturally notice it.
If I had raised my head just a little bit or stuck it out a little bit, maybe the Heavenly Spirit Cover would have been lifted...
"Who is that, don't move..." the observer from the special service group next to him warned in a low voice: "Next time, move more quietly..."
boom...
An explosion finally came from the bottom of the mountain.
It took me a while to come back to my senses. It must have been that I raised my head a little higher after dropping the bomb. Such a small movement was noticed by the enemy machine gunner...
The Japanese machine gun only fired once and then stopped shooting...
As for whether the shot fired back by the comrades hit the Japanese, no one knows.
Of course, we don’t know whether the grenade hit the enemy. The observer didn’t say...
Tang Xiaowei, who was still in a nervous state, didn't ask...
The mountains fell into silence again.
After a while, Tang Xiaowei retrieved the military cap that had been shot away. There was a hole next to the front button and a hole on the top.
Under a horizontal ridge on the hillside.
The bullets from the machine gun fire reconnaissance hit the ridgeline near the top of the mountain ridge, and from time to time small groups of stone chips and dust mist appeared.
However, except for a grenade dropped on the mountain and a few scattered shots, there was no other movement.
The lieutenant and assistant behind him observed for a long time.
Since the Eighth Route Army did not vigorously fight back, it was naturally unclear how many troops the Eighth Route Army had.
Even more unclear is the eight-way firepower situation.
Fortunately, he knew the general situation of this Eighth Route Army earlier. The lieutenant judged that the Eighth Route Army had at least two machine guns.
The machine guns of the Eighth Route Army have not fired. Now to attack rashly is to let the elite Jingwu die!
Immediately issued an order to the messenger: "Everyone stops advancing..."
The assistant put down the binoculars: "Either there are not many Eighth Route Army soldiers on the mountainside, or this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are very cunning!"
The lieutenant believed that the Eighth Route Army was very cunning. He took out a biscuit and put it in his mouth. After taking a sip of water, he said: "It seems that we still have to wait for the plane to come over for reconnaissance before making a decision..."
The assistant was a little unhappy: "Let the elite of the elite wait here. Where will our faces be when word spreads?"
The lieutenant shook his hand: "You are too anxious!"
The assistant thought for a while and suggested again: "Although Tubal Road has occupied a favorable terrain to throw grenades, does he think that we can't do anything to him down there? He is idle now. How about letting the grenadiers conduct fire reconnaissance?" Fan..."
The lieutenant nodded: "This is a good idea..."
The Japanese sergeant who acted as the vanguard immediately raised his hand to make signs after receiving the order from behind.
The Japanese grenadiers lying in the bushes immediately began to prepare.
He was busy working in the bushes.
For a time, the branches and leaves swayed, and dust and sand floated in the wind.
Everyone knows that if you are moving in the bushes, you will definitely be able to see clearly from the Eighth Route Army above.
The Japanese infantrymen next to them were not stupid. They quickly took out their rifles and swung around in the bushes to cover the grenadiers.
Trying to make the eight roads on the mountain unable to determine the exact direction.
Two grenade launchers were raised one after another...
Shooting on a hillside is not much different from shooting on flat ground. The Japanese grenadiers don't even need to calculate the trajectory at all.
Keep those ballistic parameters in mind!
With the sudden wave of the Japanese second lieutenant's hand...
Tom...tum...
Two grenades flew into the air...
