As Guiguang was occupied by Fengjiang troops, the advisory group of the Tang Empire moved its headquarters from Fengjiang here.
Luo Xiao is currently planning to send a force from Guiguang to attack Wanliang, threaten Hezhe from the south, and relieve some pressure on the Fengjiang battlefield.
However, at this time, many new changes occurred on the Fengjiang battlefield, which forced him to hold a meeting again to discuss the emerging issues on the Fengjiang battlefield.
At the beginning of the meeting, an officer in charge of military training introduced the basic situation. In the Fengjiang Civil War, the Tang Empire actually sent some personnel to participate in the war directly or indirectly.
"Taking some opportunities to train troops is a decision that has been made long ago by the superiors. This time we mainly sent here for training. Apart from middle-level commanders, there are only some special troops." The officer gave examples one by one: "These include Snipers, surveying and mapping school shooters, communications troops, ground crews, etc., except for snipers, these personnel generally do not participate in front-line operations."
Through the Fengjiang Civil War, the Tang Empire was also cultivating new talents and allowing many special forces and sniper teams to maintain good combat effectiveness.
Many new types of individual soldier equipment have also been handed over to these personnel for testing, including new sniper rifles, more precise sights, smaller batteries, individual soldier communication equipment, etc.
In addition, the Tang Empire's logistics support troops also shared a considerable part of the Fengjiang Army's dispatching, transportation and distribution work. These tasks trained new logistics support troops and also trained a large number of logistics support commanders.
If you don’t get hands-on with many things and actually participate in them, you won’t be able to truly understand them.
】
Therefore, it is very important to let these rookies in the logistics force harm Fengjiang's troops and mercenaries so that they can accumulate experience and ensure that there will be no problems in the logistics operation of the Tang Empire's own troops in the future.
Luo Xiao looked at the officer and asked, "So, the ones most likely to suffer casualties are the snipers."
"Yes!" The officer nodded, and then continued to add: "At this meeting, I brought some bad news. Some snipers from the Dahua Empire may have appeared on the Fengjiang front line. Our snipers You must be extra careful when doing activities.”
Hearing what the officer said, Luo Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked for confirmation: "Oh? Is it just intelligence, or is there data?"
There are generally only two situations where you know about the enemy's troop movements: the first is when the intelligence department provides corresponding information, and the second is when you actually encounter the enemy's troop on the battlefield.
When Luo Xiao asked this, he was actually asking whether he had heard that enemy snipers had arrived at the front line, or whether he had actually encountered a sniper and killed someone.
The officer in charge of troop training responded directly: "We have data. In the past three days, the Fengjiang Army's sniper death rate has increased significantly. What can be confirmed so far is that 7 of them were killed by the opponent's snipers. .”
Luo Xiao seemed to be still confirming. He wanted to know whether the opponent was really killed by a sniper, or whether he was killed by the enemy's ordinary troops: "Killed with one shot?"
"Yes, in most cases they kill with one shot." The officer gave a relatively accurate answer: "The Fengjiang snipers who died in battle were all trained by our people. Although their level is not very good, they are generally It’s still not easy for the infantry to kill them.”
Luo Xiao nodded and ordered: "Remind our sniper team to be more vigilant during combat! Find these difficult enemy snipers and deal with them."
"Yes! Got it!" the officer stood at attention and saluted in response.
…
"Cao Fei! Here comes the work!" Walking to Cao Fei who was wiping his weapon, his observer threw a few documents on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
The sniper team has its own resting camp area. Although the facilities are very simple, it is a relatively quiet and safe place on the front line.
This is a reinforced bunker with two beds, tables, gas lights, and even a wooden door for privacy at the exit.
Ordinary soldiers would not have such a considerate stronghold, let alone so many high-quality supplies piled in the corner-according to the supply level of the Tang Empire, snipers would receive top-notch battlefield supplies among infantry.
If it were not for logistical supply difficulties, the snipers would have two packs of cigarettes, four portions of chocolate, some candies and other additional supplies every week, and the infantrymen's instant noodles and other foods would all be replaced with cans or beautifully packaged "prepared dishes."
This kind of pre-prepared dish is not a high-tech job, but a mixture of vegetables and meat that does not taste very good, but is quite nutritious. You only need to cook it before eating, which is very convenient.
Compared with infantry, sniper teams should have their own rest room on the front line as a standard, so that they can recover and study tactics.
In Fengjiang, the snipers of the Tang Empire were treated better. They could even enjoy a week's vacation directly in Fengjiang after a week of fighting.
Most of the time, the job of the snipers in the Tang Empire was to train Fengjiang snipers. Only when they thought they should become familiar with the battlefield environment, they would perform certain advanced sniper missions.
Under normal circumstances, the sniper tasks of the Tang Empire, from high to low, are: detect enemy troop movements, guide artillery attacks, snipe enemy high-value targets, eliminate enemy snipers...
It can be seen from here that in the eyes of the snipers of the Tang Empire, the priority of shooting and attacking is quite low.
Cao Fei, who was maintaining his expensive sniper rifle, put down the tools in his hands and looked at the documents on the table: "Huh? Do you have a mission?"
"It's not just a mission, it's a big mission! Recently, some enemy snipers have appeared on the front line. The people above asked us to eliminate these snipers." The observer said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he grabbed his assault rifle that was leaning on the table and inspected it carefully.
Cao Fei became energetic. After being a sniper for so many years, he really enjoyed this hunter-like life: "Really or not?"
His observer replied while fiddling with his weapons: "Really! More than twenty snipers on Toyue's side have died."
"They are still some powerful guys." Upon hearing this, Cao Fei felt that the matter itself was more interesting.
The observer also agreed: "Isn't it true? The disciples and grandchildren we taught suffered a loss."
They still know the Fengjiang snipers they taught very well. Although these Fengjiang snipers are still rookies, there is a gap between rookies.
It seems that the opponent's snipers must have several very powerful characters. Otherwise, they would not have killed so many Toyoji colleagues in a short period of time.
"Let's go! Go meet these colleagues for a while!" Cao Fei wiped his hands, walked to the bed and started to pack his things.
The observer also began to stuff food and some spare tools into his backpack: "The boss said, be careful!"
This is a game without resurrections, so everyone knows they have to be careful. You only have one life, and any small mistake will cost you death.
After sorting out his ghillie suit, Cao Fei put something similar to a rag on his body. His observer also put on his ghillie suit, and the two rags walked out of the bunker where they were hiding. .
Fengjiang City behind them was still billowing with smoke. The Dahua Empire's advance in the past few days had pushed the front line to less than 11 kilometers away from Fengjiang City.
Zhao Chen had to say that he still had two tricks up his sleeve. While he was sending more troops to Wanliang to stabilize his flanks, he was also working hard to invade Fengjiang City and change the situation of this war.
Now that the distance is so close, many artillery pieces from the Dahua Empire can bombard the city of Fengjiang.
Zhao Yu, who was frightened in the city, no longer mentioned driving away the Dahua Empire's artillery, because recently even the 150 mm Dahua Empire artillery was able to fire shells into Fengjiang City.
Cao Fei walked step by step in the trench with his rifle in his arms. Next to their bunker was an anti-aircraft gun position from the Dahua Empire. There were more than a dozen 76 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. These artillery were purchased from the Lens Empire and used. It's all old outdated technology.
You know, all of Fengjiang's earlier anti-aircraft guns were moved near Fengjiang Airport, and the artillery recently deployed near the city were purchased from abroad. Most of these artillery pieces are old models and not cheap.
When passing a machine gun position covering these anti-aircraft guns, Officer Fengjiang, who was already familiar with Cao Fei and the others, said hello to the two of them.
They were about 4 kilometers away from the front line and had to pass through many trenches. When they reached a place only 1 kilometer away from the actual firefighting area, they had to move forward carefully.
Not only do you have to be wary of possible enemy forces, but you also have to be wary of extremely nervous friendly forces. Dressed like them, it's not impossible to shoot an idiot directly if they get nervous.
Identification of friend and foe on the battlefield has always been a big problem, especially in battlefields like Fengjiang: it is not just a matter of clothing, but also a variety of races.
Dwarves, goblins and elves all wear m35 steel helmets, but those who do not wear m35 steel helmets are not necessarily enemies: the snipers of the Tang Empire have their own composite helmets, and their shapes are different from the m35 steel helmets.
Therefore, you must be extra careful in everything. If you die in the hands of your own people, it would be really unfair.

I didn't sleep well and had a splitting headache. I'll update it today and I'll make up for it tomorrow.
