I am helping

"Who said it was time to snipe at close range?"

Captain Li looked at Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu, with an expression on his face that you have never seen the world.

"Say it to scare you. Now our political commissar Zhao can hit the target from 1700 meters away with that large-caliber sniper rifle."

hiss!Everyone except Lu Yingjun suddenly widened their eyes, looking at Zhao Gang full of shock, admiration, and disbelief.

In this era, hitting a target at a distance of 300 meters is considered a master.

Being able to hit the target at a distance of 400 meters is a sharpshooter for all troops to compete for.

Like the snipers of the Sword Squadron, they are all sharpshooters among the sharpshooters.

And political commissar Zhao was able to hit the target at a distance of 1700 meters. What kind of shooter is this?

Everyone couldn't imagine for a while.

At this time, there were only two words in everyone's mind: Niubi, Commissar Zhao!
Zhao Gang hurriedly said modestly: "The main reason is that the gun is good. If I change to another sniper rifle, I don't have the ability to hit the target at such a long distance."

"Old Zhao, don't be modest." Commander Li waved his hand and said, "Not only in our regiment, but also in the entire Eighth Route Army, you can't find a sharpshooter like you."

Zhang Dabiao smiled and said, "I think the number one sharpshooter of our Eighth Route Army must be Commissar Zhao."

All the company and battalion commanders nodded in unison. They were convinced by Political Commissar Zhao.

outrageous.

"It's over." Zhao Gang said hastily, "There are people out there, and I'm just relying on a gun. How can it be so evil."

"I think what Da Biao said is right." Li Yunlong stared wide-eyed, "When you kill Hirata Masan, who would dare to deny that you are the number one sharpshooter of our Eighth Route Army?"

Zhao Gang quickly brought the topic back: "Let's get down to business, Lao Li, and talk about the specific battle deployment."

Li Yunlong pointed to the map on the table and said: "There is a mountain called Mianshan on the south side of Niangziguan, and the distance from Niangziguan Station is 1700 meters."

"Before Hirata Zhengjuan arrived at dawn on the day, Lao Zhao took a large-caliber sniper rifle and lurked on Mianshan Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to snipe and kill the target. The Sword Squadron was responsible for protecting his safety."

"This is our first-hand preparation."

"This man made a mistake, and the horse made a mistake. If Lao Zhao misses the target, we still have second and third moves to prepare."

Everyone present has basically seen the power of that large-caliber sniper rifle.

There is no need to hit the target's vital parts at all, it only needs to hit the target's torso, and there is absolutely no possibility of the target surviving.

The whole person is about to be beaten in two, and the target's internal organs are all crushed, how can he still live?
"The second-hand preparation is to wash the ground with shells."

"This time the Shanpao Battalion carried half of the base shells, and locked up the lady to the labor and management to blast her to death."

1 mountain cannon has 50 shells for half a base, and 26 mountain cannons have 1300 shells for half a base.

So many shells are enough to hit the county seat, let alone Niangziguan Railway Station.

"Yes!"

Wang Chengzhu responded loudly, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, Shanpaoying finally had another big fight.

Cannonballs wash the ground, Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery battalion, likes this word the most.

"The Machine Cannon Battalion is responsible for protecting the air defense of the Shanpao Battalion." Li Yunlong looked at He Jie, and the aviation unit of the Devil's First Army had been reorganized and had to defend.

"Yes!" He Jie straightened his body and responded loudly.

Li Yunlong continued: "The third-hand preparations are the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion. The second battalion and the third battalion are in ambush on the east and west sides of Niangziguan Station, and the first battalion is the reserve team."

"However, the ambush should be farther away, at least two or three kilometers away."

"There are important people going to Niangziguan that day, and the devil will definitely increase the martial law of the troops."

"Half an hour, if the attacking troops don't take Niangziguan within half an hour, the mission will be abandoned."

Everyone remembered that when the Japanese 9th Brigade was ambushed a few days ago, there was also a devil major general coming, and the devil soldiers got up in the middle of the night to search and guard.

"Everyone acted on time according to plan."

Li Yunlong thought again, considering the special circumstances, and finally emphasized the process again:
"Wait for the political commissar to shoot first. If it hits the target, the Sword Squadron will fire a green flare to signal the infantry to retreat."

"If the target is not hit, the Sword Squadron will fire a red flare to signal the infantry to attack Niangziguan, and the Shanpao Battalion will bombard Niangziguan to wash the ground."

"In a word, regardless of whether the artillery fires or not, the infantry only cares about whether to attack or retreat based on the color of the flare."

"All units prepare dry food for three days and set off in the morning of the day after tomorrow." Li Yunlong said again, "The meeting is adjourned!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and then walked out one after another.

After everyone left, Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, this time the whole regiment is dispatched, and we must ask the superiors for instructions."

Last time, two battalions were dispatched to ambush the Kwantung Army's elite brigade. Li Yunlong still had this autonomy.

The Brigadier will also turn a blind eye.

But Li Yunlong did not mobilize the autonomy of the whole regiment. If the superiors really pursued it, it would be enough for Li Datuan to drink a pot.

Even if Hirata Masakane is finally killed and a large number of cotton coats and gas masks are obtained, there is a high probability that the merits and demerits will be offset.

Then there is no way to ask the brigade commander for militiamen, Li Yunlong can still understand this point.

"Don't worry, I have already asked the brigade commander for instructions."

Li Yunlong said proudly: "On the second day after returning from the first business order, the brigade commander called Qiufeng. I asked the brigade commander for instructions, and he let me go."

As for the details and price of the specific business, Li Yunlong has not told the brigade commander yet.

The brigade commander only knew that after a while, Li Yunlong would hand over 30 rounds of ammunition and 2 grenades to the brigade headquarters.

Right here, the brigade commander readily agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan.

"Then I'm relieved." Zhao Gang nodded.

……

The next day, the cooking squads of each company and battalion of the Xinyi Regiment began to prepare dry food for three days.

Dry food is still fried noodles and horse meat jerky.

In winter, when the weather is more than [-] degrees, the steamed buns and vegetable cakes will be frozen hard and hard to bite.

Generally, it is barely able to bite after being warmed up close to the body, or it is lighted on a fire and roasted before eating, but it is not easy to light a fire in heavy snow.

In the first half of the year, there is still some dried horse meat left over from the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, which is usually eaten as dry food only when going out to fight.

However, the jerky horse meat is about to bottom out, and now the new regiment has more than 4500 people, and they consume at least [-] catties of jerky horse meat for a day out to fight.

Early in the morning of the third day, Li Yunlong led a new regiment of commanders and fighters to set off and march towards Niangziguan in a hurry.

Yangcun is more than 50 kilometers away from Chenjiagou, and more than 70 kilometers away from Niangziguan.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

As usual, the soldiers handed over the heavy equipment and ammunition boxes to the horses and mules, so that the soldiers could move forward lightly.

It was already midnight that day when the Xinyi regiment arrived at Mianshan, south of Niangziguan.

The soldiers were already very tired. Marching in such a weather and road conditions was a test for both willpower and leg strength.

Fortunately, every soldier is wearing a thick gray woolen coat, wearing rubber-soled cotton shoes instead of straw sandals, and wearing a cotton cap with ear protection.

The first thing he did when he arrived at Niangziguan, Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers to camp and rest.

He himself climbed Mianshan with Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders to investigate Niangziguan.

Li Yunlong didn't dare to get too close for reconnaissance, because people would leave footprints when walking in the snow, and Niangziguan had devil officials coming, so the devils would definitely increase their vigilance.

If the devil finds out that someone has been close to reconnaissance, it will be very bad.

Although it was already midnight, the Niangziguan station was still brightly lit, but it was night, and even with the artillery mirror, it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Immediately, Li Yunlong greeted Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders to go back to the tent to sleep, and ordered the whole regiment to get up at 5:[-] just like last time.

Silent all night.

At [-]:[-] a.m. the next day, the soldiers on duty woke up the company and battalion commanders.

Then the battalion and company commanders ordered the guards to wake up the soldiers, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also woken up by the guards.

Immediately Li Yunlong called the battalion commanders of the companies over, gave a few precautions, and then gave orders to separate operations.

Li Yunlong asked Lu Yingjun to use the artillery mirror to adjust the shooting elements of the Shanpao Battalion aimed at Niangziguan Station in advance.

Then Li Yunlong took the artillery mirror and acted as Zhao Gang's observer.

At a distance of 1.7 kilometers, the 8x telescope can only give an approximate view. If you want to see the target's face clearly, you need a 16x artillery lens, which can also measure distance.

Moreover, the scope of Zhao Gang's large-caliber sniper rifle can also be adjusted to 16 times.

Wearing camouflage clothes, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang found an inconspicuous sniper spot in the middle of Mianshan, got down on the ground, and put the large-caliber sniper rifle in front of them.

Then, the sniper rifle was covered with a white cloth to achieve a perfect lurking camouflage, even if someone approached it, it would be difficult to find it.

The Sword Squadron was hiding around the two of them.

As the sky was getting brighter, the temperature in the air was higher than at night, but it was still very cold, and the biting cold wind was blowing, blowing on people's faces like a knife.

However, everyone in disguise was wrapped in a thick layer, leggings, cotton gloves, cotton hats, and cotton shoes, and they were all well prepared. Although it was cold, there was no need to worry about frostbite.

During the day, you can use the artillery mirror to see everything in Niangziguan.

There are bunkers, turrets, ditches and barbed wire. There are two trains parked in the station, and occasionally a train passes by.

At about nine o'clock, a train stopped at the station, and more than 400 devils jumped off the train, and the train headed towards Yangquan.

As soon as these devils got off the train, they began to hold weapons in their hands and martial law on the platform. Some devils looked around with binoculars, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang remained motionless.

Li Yunlong did not find the target in the field of vision of the artillery mirror.

Near noon, the devils in Niangziguan Station came out of the barracks and lined up on both sides of the platform with guns.

Seeing this, both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's expressions cheered up, the goal is likely to be reached soon!
As expected, half an hour later, an armored train that looked like a steel giant came from the direction of Jingxing County.

This steel behemoth has 8 large armored carriages. The turrets and long barrels on the carriages indicate that this armored vehicle is equipped with heavy artillery.

As it approached Niangziguan Station, the large armored vehicle began to slow down, then drove into Niangziguan Railway Station and stopped inside the train station.
