Chapter Seventy-One: The Heights

Brothers, you are hanging the appetite of the soldiers! I saw this book fall off the recommendation list last night, and I thought I might not need three changes today, but I didn't expect to wake up and be on the list again...... Did you fall out after the third watch of the soldiers, and squeeze in again when it was almost updated?!

Hehe, just kidding, the soldiers also hope that the third watch will make the brothers look a little more comfortable.

However, everyone has also seen that the soldier writes books more seriously, whether it is the concept, the text or even the typos, it should be said that they are relatively well grasped, especially without irrigation. In this way, the speed of code words must be slow, an hour others can code three or four thousand, I can only code more than a thousand.

More than a thousand mph, brothers! Three more than 6,000 words, the soldiers have to work hard all day. I hope you will support you!

Although the strength of the Japanese army on the high ground was as empty as Zhang Chi and others expected, the war was not as smooth sailing as expected.

There are two main reasons for this:

First, the Japanese army was very clever in constructing their positions, and they flexibly used the ridge line on the top of the hill to build their positions...... This is actually an advantage of condescending combat. The ridge line at the top of the mountain refers to the boundary between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain, simply put, it is located in a special position on the top of the mountain, where the devil can see the situation at the foot of the mountain as long as he stretches his head slightly, and disappears as soon as he shrinks his head.

The advantage of this kind of terrain is that the devil sticks out his head and puts a shot as quickly as possible, and immediately after the shot, he retracts his head and shifts his position, but our soldiers are unable to guard against it, and obviously see the devil poking out his head to shoot, and when we raise the gun to aim, he retracts his head again.

What made the fighters even more angry was ...... I obviously have tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment in my hands, but I can't use them.

This is not to say that the elevation angle of the tank gun is not enough, it is not difficult to solve the lack of elevation angle, you only need to drive the tank on an inclined plane and let the tank's head be raised high towards the top of the mountain.

But here's the problem...... The Devil's Hilltop position is located at the ridge of the mountain, and it is difficult for the shells to hit this part, not only because the area of the hilltop position is small, but also because the ridge line is like a knife edge, and the shells will fly over the target's head if they aim a little higher.

The machine guns were somewhat useful, more than a dozen heavy machine guns hit the target indiscriminately, only to make the dust fly, but this flying dust just became the cover of the Japanese army, they still poked their heads out again and again to shoot at our troops, and occasionally threw a few grenades.

On the other hand, there is the military quality of the Japanese army.

Needless to say, if it weren't for the good military quality, the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain would have fled in fear because of the defeat of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain...... According to the US military, that is, if the casualties of a unit exceed 50 percent, then the unit will basically lose its combat effectiveness because it has no will to fight.

But now the Japanese army, they continued to hold on when the main force was almost annihilated, and there were only twenty or thirty people on the hilltop position, and they were able to fight so methodically, poking out their heads and knocking the expeditionary soldiers to the ground with one shot at a time...... This has to be a little admirable.

However, the Japanese army was unable to stop the advance of the engineer regiment in the end, because the sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand played a role at this time.

"Bang!" With the recoil from his shoulder, a single shot was fired from the loose rifle.

In the scope, Zhang Chi clearly saw that the head of a Japanese soldier burst open like a watermelon, and the blood rushing out was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

At the last moment, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Japanese soldier, perhaps he didn't understand how Zhang Chi could shoot a bullet just when he poked his head out.

This is actually not surprising, Zhang Chi does not have such a fast reaction speed, he just aimed at this part in advance and waited quietly, waiting for him to pull the trigger when he came out.

"Bang!" Another bullet flew out, and another Japanese soldier was knocked to the ground.

The trick is actually very simple, that is, Zhang Chi can calculate the time interval and distance of the Japanese army's head.

Time is the time for the Japanese army to reload after firing a bullet.

Because there were many Chinese soldiers charging towards the high ground, the Japanese did not dare to waste even a little time, so they could only repeat the attack, shoot, shrink, unlock the bolt at the fastest speed, and then shoot again. Because the Japanese army was very skilled in operation and skillful in action, the time interval between the emergence of the head was about the same.

Knowing the law of time, the distance is actually the length of the Japanese army running in the trenches during this time.

"Bang!" Another bullet knocked a Japanese soldier to the ground.

The Japanese are sometimes a tendon in their heads, and under this kind of tendon thinking, their behavior and movements can easily and unconsciously form a pattern, just like their tactics of using the hilltop position to shoot with their heads out, and they still don't know how to change until this time.

When the fourth Japanese soldier was knocked down in the trench by Zhang Chi, the Japanese finally realized something.

But in fact, even if they realize where the mistake is, it doesn't help, because the solution to this problem is to prolong the time to poke out of the head, so that the frequency of fire is irregular.

However, if they did, they would indeed have been able to evade the sniping of Zhang Chi, but they would not be able to stop the hundreds of Chinese soldiers charging towards the hilltop position because of the reduced frequency.

At that moment, the Japanese suddenly realized that their defeat was inevitable, so they chose to give up.

Of course, the renunciation of the Japanese army did not mean flight or surrender, but their renunciation referred to the choice to be loyal to the emperor.

So Zhang Chi saw a strange scene: some Japanese soldiers did not care about exposing themselves, holding machine guns and firing wildly at the Chinese soldiers who rushed up, some Japanese soldiers rushed down with bayonets howling, and some Japanese soldiers rolled down with explosives bags that lit the fuse......

Of course, few of them succeeded, and the heavy machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles quickly beat the Japanese soldiers into a sieve, except for the Japanese soldier who rolled down with the explosive bag, because the part he chose was so steep that he still rolled on the slope after being a corpse, until the explosive pack exploded and kicked off a cloud of rubble and corpses and shot at the charging soldiers.

But this only slowed down the charge of the soldiers, and soon the soldiers rushed to the top of the hill with cheers, and with a flurry of gunfire, they knocked down the reinforcements who were still rushing up the other slope.

"Oh my God! They really beat it down! Slim, who was on the second line, put down his binoculars in disbelief: "An engineer regiment?!" My troops were ten times larger than theirs, and they fought for several days without success, and it only took them half an hour ?! ”

"Fuck it!" Andy scolded, apparently annoyed by the Chinese's victory.

"Watch your words, Colonel!" Slim glanced at Andy with some dissatisfaction: "You should show respect to our allies, especially when they used their bravery and lives to rescue our troops who were besieged in Ringanqiang, unless you don't want them to break through!" ”

"No, General!" Andy hurriedly replied, "Of course I hope they break through!" ”

"Hmm!" Slim nodded: "Then cooperate with the Chinese and meet all their requirements, they may be the only hope for Ren'anqiang!" ”
