The 30-mm cannons on several off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers were immediately aimed at the artillery positions of the little devils and were ready to open fire.

"Fire!"

A platoon commander of a mechanized infantry regiment immediately commanded his armored vehicles and off-road vehicles to open fire.

"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly......"

Several 30-millimeter cannons were fired at the same time, and these shells were basically high-explosive shells, and they basically hit the target.

The captain of the little devil wing, who was watching the battle on the east bank of the Tang River, saw that his artillery position was attacked, and his eyes immediately became bigger, and his pupils contracted sharply, which was too unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, the small-caliber artillery of the 36th Group Army has such a long range, is this the machine gun mentioned in the previous intelligence, the machine gun equipped by the 36th Group Army?

The captain of the little devil wing regretted it a little at this time, he was really careless, he only thought of the heavy artillery, planes and tanks equipped by the 36th Group Army, and ignored these small-caliber machine guns.

In the regretful gaze of the captain of the little devil wing, this artillery position of the little devil was hit by more and more 30-mm machine guns, and within a few minutes, the shells on the artillery position of the little devil began to explode.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Several violent explosions sounded on the artillery position of the little devils, and all the mortars and Type 92 infantry guns of the little devils were blown away by the violent explosions, and those little devils who did not have time to escape were also killed and wounded.

Seeing that the artillery position of the little devil was terminated, and there was no threat of the little devil's artillery fire, many soldiers suddenly felt light, and they were even more free to shoot, and even the shooting accuracy was greatly improved.

The commander of the 5th column, seeing that the artillery position of the little devil was blown away, applauded.

At this time, all the armored vehicles and off-road vehicles of the mechanized infantry regiment, the 30-mm cannon on the vehicle began to hit the firing points of the little devils one by one, and began to carry out targeted killings.

Although the little devils saw their artillery positions being wiped out, they relied on the Tang River to block the 36th Group Army, and their task was to defend and prevent the troops of the 36th Group Army from crossing the river, so the little devils also fought back fiercely, and their morale was still high for the time being.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the battle immediately heated up.

Seeing that the little devils were not afraid of death, braving their own fierce artillery fire, and fiercely returning fire on the other side of the river, several high-ranking members of the 5th Column did not dare to be careless in their hearts, and before they completed the two-sided attack, the two sides might shoot at each other like this.

Fortunately, now a lot of armored vehicles and off-road vehicles have driven to the bank of the Tang River, these vehicles not only provide strong fire support for the soldiers shooting, but also cover the shooting of the soldiers, these vehicles are good cover, and the bullets of the little devils basically can't help these vehicles.

"What about snipers? Kill the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the other side for me. ”

A captain and company commander saw that on the other side of the river, more than 400 meters away from him, there was a Type 92 heavy machine gun of a little devil, and he was firing there, and a few bullets had actually hit his side just now.

Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted each infantry squad to be equipped with a squad machine gun and a sniper rifle, but now the sniper rifles are seriously insufficient, and for the time being, each company is only equipped with two such sniper rifles, and perhaps, in another year and a half, this goal will be achieved.

A sniper, hearing the order of his company commander, immediately under the guidance of the observer, found this little devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun, through the 4x optical scope, the little devil's expression can be seen clearly.

The sniper, who was obviously also an experienced veteran, was very composed, carefully aimed at the little devil shooter, and gently pulled the trigger.

"Smack!" There was a crunch.

The little devil shooter in the distance, his head suddenly blossomed, and he fell to the ground, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that the little devil shooter was killed, a little devil next to him hesitated for a moment, and immediately began to fill the position, pushing the dead little devil shooter to the side, ready to continue shooting.

"Smack!" Another crunch.

The little devil who was just about to shoot was also shot in the head, lying on this Type 92 heavy machine gun softly, and the bright red blood kept flowing on this machine gun.

A few little devils next to him, seeing that another little devil was shot in the head, knew that this was definitely not a stray bullet, and there might be snipers from the 36th Group Army on the other side of the river.

A little devil Juncao, who happened to see this scene, immediately shouted in horror: "Baga! There are Chinese snipers. ”

Seeing that the sniper began to exert his power, the captain and company commander also applauded.

Under the blows of the mortars, 30-millimeter machine guns, a large number of machine guns, and snipers of the 5th column, the little devils on the other side only held out for less than 30 minutes, and their firepower gradually weakened, and there was a tendency to be suppressed by firepower.

The wing commander of the little devil immediately became irritable when he saw that his troops were in danger of being suppressed, especially when he saw that some machine gunners were named one after another by the snipers of the 36th Army on the opposite side.

The face of the little devil wing captain gradually became ugly, and he gradually became worried about the tasks assigned above, not knowing how long he could hold out and whether he could wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

East bank of the Tang River.

The commander of the 5th Column, who was watching the battle, saw that many snipers had gradually entered the state, and nearly half of the little devil machine guns on the opposite bank had now been muted, and the ferocious firepower of the little devils was gradually suppressed by his own troops.

"Good! That's great! ”

The commander of the 5th Column applauded happily, but he did not expect that at this time, snipers played a great role, and it would have been better to have known that in this way, it would have been better to mobilize snipers from several other regiments as well.

At present, the snipers of each column of the 36th Group Army are in teams of two, commonly known as two-person sniper teams, and they are all served by two experienced veteran comrades.

The two snipers each take on different positions, a sniper (main shooter) and a spotter. The sniper is responsible for aiming and shooting at the target, while the observer is responsible for observing and guarding.

These two are a well-trained group, and they usually train as a group, because the group members have formed a tacit understanding in the long-term cooperative training, so they now appear to be handy on the battlefield.

What's more, Zhang Yunfei personally inquired about the training of the sniper team, and Zhang Yunfei also personally guided the training of snipers of special combat teams, and many of the sniper training of these various columns were instructors served by special combat personnel, so the training of snipers retained a lot of Zhang Yunfei's color.

The training of snipers is also combined with a lot of advanced experience in later generations, and the level of the trained sniper team is also very high, not only has a strong survivability on the battlefield, but also basically has no bullets, and it is basically one shot at a time to fight a little devil.

Now, seeing that the firepower of the little devils was gradually suppressed, the commander of the 5th column personally ordered: "Order comrades, start crossing the river!" ”

Receiving the order, the warriors began to prepare to cross the river, and some small wooden boats that had been temporarily collected were pushed into the water by the warriors, each of which had at least several fighters, and a slightly larger small wooden boat, on which there were a dozen or even twenty fighters.

The soldiers cooperated tacitly, some held AK-47 assault rifles on guard, some rowed, everyone lay tightly on the boat, tried to reduce the target, and began to slowly row to the other side of the river.

Because it was summer, some comrades with better water surnames simply went into the water with a wooden plank or a log, holding the plank with one hand to maintain buoyancy, and the AK-47 assault rifle in the other, and paddling with both feet, swimming to the other side of the river, which was nearly 200 meters away.

The other comrades, when they saw that the soldiers of the infantry regiment began to cross the river, everyone immediately increased their firepower to provide cover for everyone, but fortunately, most of the machine guns of the little devils were silent, and only some sporadic gunfire from Type 38 rifles was fired.

The little devils on the other side, seeing that the soldiers began to cross the river, immediately aimed their guns at the river, and kept shooting at the soldiers in the river, but the shooting of the little devils still caused some casualties to the soldiers.

Seeing their comrades-in-arms sacrificed under the guns of the little devils, everyone's hearts were very painful and uncomfortable, and some soldiers even roared loudly in anger.

"Little devil! I'm going to grass you!! ”

The sound of "da, da, da" suddenly became loud, and on the other side, many little devils were killed.

A few minutes later, after paying dozens of casualties, nearly half of the nearly 1,000 soldiers who crossed the river had reached the middle of the river, and in a few minutes, they could reach the opposite bank.

Just now, seeing the sacrifice of many of their comrades-in-arms, these soldiers who crossed the river have long been red-eyed, and now, as soon as they reach the center of the river, they are much closer to the little devils, and the little devils have entered the effective range of the AK-47 assault rifle.

On the small wooden boat in the middle of the river, many soldiers began to aim at the little devils, and some of the soldiers who crossed the river with wooden planks or logs also shot with AK-47 assault rifles with one hand.

A lot of snipers also kept shooting, a little devil was either shot in the head or shot in the chest, and the snipers basically shot a little devil one by one.

The soldiers who crossed the river, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the other side, rowed more vigorously and moved faster, and it would not be long before they could land on the shore.
