Chapter 42: Sniping
Xujia Village is only six miles away from Lingbang, and its location is almost between the first battalion and the third battalion, it should be said that it will be closer to the third battalion, but the terrain near Lingbang is flatter, so it will be more convenient and faster to go to reinforcements from Lingbang.
But this is also under the circumstance that the Japanese army did not penetrate in, and now the Japanese army has inserted into a ten-mile wide area between the two battalions, and this area is still full of high mountains and dense forests, and it is a rainy night when you can't see your fingers, and you can't find out where you can hide thousands of devils in it.
This made Zhang Chi and the others very cautious in their march, and they did not dare to go on the mountain road, because there would definitely be an ambush and blockade by devils, so they could only drill into the jungle.
But the jungle of Savage Mountain was full of kudzu vines and shrubs, and there was no road at all, so Zhang Chi had to let the two warriors go all the way in front of him with a mountain opener to cut the way...... The downside of this is that the sound of opening the way is likely to attract Japanese troops, but it is also better than stepping into an ambush set by the Japanese army.
Just as the soldiers were moving forward, Zhang Chi suddenly heard a strange noise...... So he immediately ordered in a low voice: "Stop!" ”
The warrior who opened the way immediately stopped the movement in his hand, and the other warriors also scattered and prepared for battle.
"What's the situation?" Pete leaned in and asked.
"There are enemies!" Zhang Chi replied.
What Zhang Chi heard just now was the sound of rain, the rain at this time was not heavy, and the sound of rain in all directions was also very uniform and coordinated, but there was a more dense sound of rain in front of the right, which should be someone who was accustomed to leaning towards the trunk of the tree and inadvertently shook the rain on the leaves.
"At two o'clock, there may not be many people!" Zhang Chi made such a judgment, because if the enemy was numerous, it would not be possible to just make such a small noise.
Of course, if the Japanese army could hide it so well, Zhang Chi would have nothing to say.
"I didn't hear anything!" After listening carefully for a while, Pete whispered, "But I trust your instincts, what do we do now?" ”
It may sound ironic, Pete is an American instructor, and he should have told Zhang Chi and his soldiers what to do.
But Zhang Chi was not surprised at all. Because the Americans have basically never experienced jungle warfare, and even they are very taboo about night warfare, they are of course helpless in this kind of jungle warfare on rainy nights.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi turned to the fighters behind him and said, "Five grenades, ten flashlights!" ”
"Yes!" The warriors answered.
Pete couldn't understand Chinese, so he just watched in a daze as a platoon of soldiers came up with guns.
"Hit!" With Zhang Chi's order, the soldiers threw five grenades at the front right, followed by a roar followed by ten flashlights.
Of course, this flashlight is to cover the electric light with your hand and then throw it out, so as to avoid the light from illuminating your own people as much as possible.
As flashlights fell on the right front. The area was soon illuminated, and in an instant, several Japanese soldiers who wanted to take advantage of the darkness were exposed to the light, so the soldiers would be polite, and they raised their guns and fired a rain of bullets.
Two or three were knocked down at the moment, and the remaining few hurriedly hid behind the trees, but in the light of the flashlight, they neither advanced nor retreated, and they didn't even know where to hit back...... The Japanese troops in the light could not see the position of the soldiers in the darkness at all.
Pete was immediately happy: "This is so cool, well done!" ”
But Zhang Chi knocked Petra down, who poked his head out, because he saw a reflection in the tree. It was the reflection of a sniper scope illuminated by a flashlight.
Sure enough, in the next second, a bullet flew over Pete's head with a "whoosh" sound, and Pete was so frightened that he didn't dare to move when he lay on the ground.
But Zhang Chi seized this opportunity and fired several bullets at ......the position just now.
It is indeed not easy to find the Japanese army hiding in the trees, but at the same time there is a drawback. That is, once the position is exposed, it cannot move the position as quickly as on the ground, and even some Japanese soldiers will tie themselves to trees and cannot move in order to be more convenient to shoot, so although Zhang Chi wasted some time to tear Pete off, he still hit the target...... In a few moments, a corpse fell from the tree with a "bang".
Then Zhang Chi turned the muzzle of the gun, and several more "bang" shots hit another tree, shooting out all the remaining bullets in the chamber.
When Pete was puzzled. Another corpse fell from a tree...... Pete could hardly believe that this was true, and he couldn't figure out how Zhang Chi had found out about the Japanese sniper.
But this is not surprising at all, the Japanese sniper apparently did not expect the Chinese military to appear from this direction. He was able to turn his gun around the tree, but the leaves blocked his view because he hadn't cut off some of the thick branches beforehand.
This forced the Japanese snipers to press the branches down with their body weight so that they could see their targets...... His slight move attracted Zhang Chi's attention, so he soon became Zhang Chi's gunner.
Then Zhang Chi changed positions as fast as he could, and after pressing the bullet, he poked the rifle out again and looked at the battlefield under the flashlight.
At this time, it seems that the battlefield no longer exists Japanese snipers, because the fighters have achieved a complete victory...... While Zhang Chi suppressed the Japanese snipers with sniper rifles, the soldiers flanked them after throwing out a few grenades again, and soon killed several Japanese soldiers hiding behind the trees one by one.
But Zhang Chi still didn't relax, and then shot a pine tree with a few "bangs" again when everyone didn't care.
In the astonished eyes of the warriors, another corpse fell from the tree.
"How did you do that?" Pete couldn't help but ask, "I didn't notice him at all!" ”
Zhang Chi just smiled and didn't answer.
The reason why the Japanese sniper didn't shoot was because his target was Zhang Chi, and he thought that if he waited a little longer, Zhang Chi, the sniper, would appear under his gun.
It's a pity that Zhang Chi still discovered him first...... The reason why Zhang Chi was able to find him was because the flashlight in Xiao Zhejiang's hand inadvertently slashed over the sniper's location, and the light of the flashlight penetrated the undense leaves of the pine tree but could not penetrate the person hiding in it, so Zhang Chi shot a bullet at the target.
So sometimes it takes a bit of luck on the battlefield.
It was only then that Zhang Chi slowly stood up, and his intuition told him that there was no longer any threat here. (To be continued.) )
