Chapter 615: Sniping
The total number of troops in the 26th Wing of the Japanese Army was 3,200 men, and its distribution of troops was as follows:
1,200 men were stationed at the airport and attacked and took over the warehouses near the airport, and used the supplies and equipment in the warehouses and captured cars to organize the logistics of the main force. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The main force of 2,000 men pursued the American troops, quickly routed the American artillery units and completed the encirclement.
Leading the main force was Shoichi Kosaka of the 26th Wing of the Japanese Army.
Kosaka Shoichi knows one thing, that is, the most important thing in this battle is to be fast...... Just like the results of the "blitzkrieg" launched by the Germans in Europe.
Kosaka Shoichi's idea was of course correct, because the Japanese army had too few troops, only 3,000 men, and the Japanese army attacking Yomitan Airport was only 6,000 men, so if the movement was slow, the enemy would be given time to deploy troops...... Then just a few regiments can be used to wipe out their troops that have no supplies and no reinforcements.
Therefore, Kosaka Shoichi began to arm the main forces with captured American-style equipment and supplies even before the airport was captured.
It was only halfway through the redress, and Kosaka Shoichi received information that the American army had collapsed and retreated, and Kosaka Shoichi immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the Japanese army to move......
Halfway through the costume change is put into actual combat, which is a big taboo on this battlefield, and Kosaka Shoichi knew this, but he still gave this order because he knew it...... Compared to the importance of time, this so-called "taboo" is nothing at all.
The staff officer advised Kosaka: "Your Excellency, it only takes ten minutes...... We're ready to complete the changeover! ”
"We don't have time to wait!" Osaka replied: "If you don't change your clothes, you can kill the enemy on the road and confiscate their guns!" ”
"Yes!"
Osaka Daisa's order was full of arrogance, and the Japanese army had just successfully captured Urasoe Airport, which greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese army, and they all raised their guns and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live......
However, just when the Japanese army wanted to penetrate the hinterland of the American army, they kicked it on the iron plate......
When he was speeding up the march, Osaku Kosaka, who was moving forward in a captured jeep, suddenly felt that something was wrong, he seemed to feel that he was being targeted by someone else's gun, so he subconsciously wanted to bow his head and bury his ......
But it was too late.
It was Zhang Chi who aimed at Osaka Daisa, and Zhang Chi also clearly felt that the Japanese officer had reacted, so he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Phew!" A gunshot rang out.
The bullet pierced and shattered the half-shaken windshield before hitting Osaka's left side with precision...... Since this can be regarded as the second kill of the bullet, Osaka Osa didn't even have time to say a word, and his head exploded like a watermelon.
"Hit!" Almost at the same time, the extremely poor student gave an order in the handheld walkie-talkie.
Suddenly, the gunfire rang out, and in the grass, which had seemed to be empty, there were ghostly soldiers standing up, guns in their hands and pouring rows of bullets at the Japanese soldiers on the road.
This is especially true of snipers who hide in trees or high places......
The snipers of the 2nd Independent Battalion are specially selected "sharpshooters" from various units...... At this time, the Chinese army did not have the word "sniper", and the soldiers usually referred to those who could shoot accurately as "sharpshooters".
Picking it out does not mean that he will be a sniper directly, but he will have to go through rounds of rigorous training and elimination before he can finally take on the role of "sniper" in the second independent battalion.
The snipers of the 2nd Independent Battalion were even ahead of the US army under Zhang Chi's training.
For example, most of the snipers at this time are still one person with one shot, while the snipers trained by Zhang Chi are a classic two-person combination, one person is responsible for shooting, and the other is responsible for observation and cover.
This may seem like an inefficient combination...... Two people only use one gun, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as two guns!
But this is not the case, because although the sniper scope can be magnified, the field of view is small, and it is not easy to find valuable targets, and it often takes a lot of time to shoot one target to find the next.
It is different to have an observer to cooperate, when the sniper aims, the observer looks for the next target, and then reports the location of the target to the sniper in time, so that one shot comes down one after another, and the two people can play a greater role than two guns.
Just like now, dozens of sniper teams of the 2nd Independent Battalion almost solved the Japanese officers, machine gunners, and grenadier shooters at the first time, and no one in the Japanese army even ordered to organize a defense at the first time......
Then the weapons in the hands of the warriors come into play:
The rifles "banged" at the Japanese troops one by one, the machine guns swept out bullets in rows to suppress the enemy on the ground and could not move, and the rocket launchers "swished" out rockets with tail flames, which bombed the Japanese cars used as cover on the spot, and the mortars blocked their retreat according to the indiscriminate bombing of the retreating Japanese troops...... For a while, the Japanese army was like a swarm of ants on a hot pot.
Several Japanese prisoners who survived later recalled: "This battle was an inexplicable battle for us, and we didn't know anything...... I don't know who the enemy is, I don't know what the orders are, I don't know who is commanding...... This kind of disorder was almost non-existent before!
Of course, it makes sense for the Japanese army to say this, because the command system of the Japanese army is very tight, especially in the army, when Shaozo dies, the captain commands, and when the captain dies, the lieutenant commands, so under normal circumstances, there will be someone in command.
However, because all this happened so quickly, the Japanese officers were "named" by the Chinese snipers in large numbers at the first time, and then a fierce battle ensued, which made many Japanese captains not know that Shaozo was dead, and the command had fallen to him.
Some even if they know that they are in command, but they are not able to command at all in that chaotic and completely passive situation.
After a few minutes of fighting, Zhang Chi ordered: "Get on the bayonet!" ”
"Get on the bayonet!"
……
Since each company has a hand-held walkie-talkie communication, orders are conveyed quickly and in place.
Then, with Zhang Chi's order, the soldiers jumped out of their hiding places and killed the Japanese soldiers......
The Japanese could never have imagined that they, who had always been good at close combat and hand-to-hand combat, would encounter a unit that took the initiative to engage them in close combat and hand-to-hand combat.
However, these Japanese soldiers, who were good at close combat, had long lost their bravery at this time, and they didn't even have bayonets to load, turned around and fled in the direction of the airport.
