Beiyang 1917

1918年7月13ri8：25乌法南边120公里斯捷尔利塔马克镇郊西北

Time passed quickly, and the two hundred sharpshooter groups of the Soviet Russian Red Army quickly climbed from 1000 meters to 800 meters, and then climbed from 800 meters to 700 meters. The distance is about 800 meters. Of course, some soldiers in the group have good physical strength, so they rush to the front, and some are weak, and they fall behind. In short, the sharpshooter troops sent by Tukhachevsky, Move forward slowly and firmly.

"Comrade Commander! Why didn't the enemy on the opposite side shoot? They have plenty of heavy machine guns. The fire coverage and sweeping at this distance can already pose a greater threat and damage!" Hash, the commander of the 31st Turkestan Infantry Division Mofu couldn't help but said.

Those who launched the attack in front were all the treasures of the infantry companies under his 31st Infantry Division. If anyone is most nervous about whether this attack can achieve the expected results, it must be Comrade Hashimov, the division commander.

"How do I know! Maybe the enemy's bullets are not enough? Or their mortar shells are not enough? Strange, the other party has no reason to let us approach the other party's position, is it because they can't figure out what we are going to do? ?" Tukhachevsky muttered while looking at the Red Army soldiers who were still moving forward in front of the position with a telescope.

"I think the enemy must be plotting something again. Haven't you all figured it out until now? The opponent doesn't waste ammunition at all. The machine guns only fire when we attack within 300 meters of the front of the position. Now it is more than 700 meters away, it is normal for the opponent to refuse to fire, but why is the mortar not firing, the distance of 700 meters happens to be the best shooting range of the mortar, could it be that there are really no shells?" The political commissar of the cavalry division, Fumanov, said while observing the situation with a telescope.

"It's a pity! If we had cannons, we would have blasted the other side. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas were nirvana, even if we had a battalion of heavy machine guns! This battle is really aggrieved!" The 15th Simbirsk Iron Army Infantry Chekov, the division commander, couldn't help but said.

"What's the use of talking about this now? It was so windy and windy last night. It's good for people to be able to move. There's no way to pull out a cannon that's stuck in the swamp. Who would have thought that such a hard one would be eaten in such a dilapidated town? Walnut, if you want me to say, Comrade Commander, how about we lure the snake out of the hole?" Boklov, the division commander of the 20th Infantry Division, said on the side.

"Quiet me! Quiet! Let's wait until the end of this battle to lure snakes out of the hole! Who dares to say half a retreat now, don't blame me Tukhachevsky for being ungrateful!" the commander of the group army frowned and roared.The silence on the opposite coalition position made Tukhachevsky's heart beat faster. This fellow instinctively smelled something bad, but watched helplessly as the 200 Red Army sharpshooters were still struggling to move forward. There seemed to be tension in front of the coalition position. A mouthful of blood was opened, and the blood of more than 1200 soldiers who died on the open ground has already dyed the ground red.

Suddenly, there was a crisp gunshot in front of the position. This gunshot made the hearts of all the people watching the battle on both sides stop suddenly, and then jumped up even faster. The commanders of both sides used binoculars to scan around desperately The direction of the gunshot depends on who shot who?

The result disappointed the real people. It turned out that a group of sharpshooters advancing by the Soviet Red Army tripped over the corpses of the Soviet Red Army comrades under their feet. As a result, the Mosin Nagant rifle in the hand of the shooter went off under tension. .

But this occasional gunshot scared all the attacking Red Army soldiers to the ground, put up a wooden raft, and began to desperately dig individual bunkers on the spot, while the shooter began to lie down behind the wooden raft, looking decent. Aiming at the coalition position, followed by the sound of gunfire on the entire position, 200 Soviet Russian Red Army shooters started shooting less than 600 meters away from the opponent's position!

"Hashimov! The sharpshooters of your division are really good, shooting started at 600 meters! Could it be that everyone is a sharpshooter?" Tukhachevsky shouted with a livid face!

"The effective combat distance of the Mosin Nagant rifle is only 400 meters. Comrade Commander, there are sharpshooters, but there may be no one out of 600 who can accurately hit the enemy at 200 meters!" Fumanov said aside. Dao, although there are 60 shooters in front of him from his cavalry regiment, but this guy is in the same bad mood as his commander, so he can't help but say something!

As soon as the 200 sharpshooters of the Soviet Red Army fired, don’t tell me, the Mosin Nagant rifle bullets really splashed mud in the opposite coalition position. Why is it mud instead of dust? Isn’t it because it was left overnight What about the violent storms? The trenches of the coalition forces are also very particular about repairing. There are countless diversion ditches underground in the trenches, and they all converge to the low-lying southwest position and finally flow into the tributary of the Ural River.

"Battalion Commander, the snipers on the ground asked if they can shoot!" the correspondent, Xiao Ma, put down the phone and reported!

"He's nainai, pass my order, all the snipers shoot at you, and kill the opponent who rushes to the front first, damn, the opponent's stray bullets have all flown to my headquarters!" It turned out that the opponent just now A slanted bullet hit the roof of the attic after drifting for a long time, which really shocked Li Fugui. The bullet really doesn't have eyes, so he can't let the other party fool around anymore!

So give the order to fire!

Now that the two sides are coming and going, they are fighting immediately. There are hundreds of scarecrows in military uniforms on the coalition positions, which quite confuses the eyes of the sharpshooters of the Soviet Red Army. Help the guy with binoculars, and someone must be able to crackle at the scarecrow under tension for a long time without waking up.

The counterattack of the coalition snipers quickly let the sharpshooters of the Soviet Russian Red Army know what a sniper is and what a sniper rifle is. The sound of the m1 Garand's gunshot is clear and sharper than the opponent's Mosin Nagant rifle. After all, the initial velocity of the Garland bullet ejected from the chamber is 853 ms, while that of Mosin Nagant is only 615 ms. Soon, with the sound of gunfire from the coalition positions, one by one hid behind the wooden raft 600 meters away and shot The sharpshooters of the Soviet Russian Red Army met with bad luck.

In less than 2 minutes, by the time the 12 snipers from the Li Fugui Cavalry Battalion had finished shooting the first round of eight bullets, one-third of the Russian Red Army sharpshooters hiding behind the wooden platoons had already suffered casualties. , within 10 minutes, Tukhachevsky's sharpshooter attack tactics completely failed, and the 200 groups of sharpshooter teams were almost wiped out. The death rate of the 200 Soviet Red Army shooters was more than 90%, and almost all of them survived. It was a serious injury.

"Commander, hurry up and sound the call for retreat! Withdraw quickly...the opponent is a professional sniper. Look, their guns seem to have scopes on them!" Bocroft yelled anxiously.

"Blow the horn! Tell them to withdraw!" Tukhachevsky's face was ashen, thinking that a mere coalition cavalry battalion had such a strong combat effectiveness. At a distance of 600 meters, his group of 200 sharpshooters without sniper rifles was simply too much. It's just the small dishes in other people's optical sights, all of which are meat on the chopping board. This blow is too great, and the commander of the group army is even a little unstable.

Historically, when the two armies fought, retreating often paid a greater price than attacking. Almost all the shooters in the 200 groups of sharpshooters in the Soviet Russian Red Army were killed or injured, but the one holding a wooden raft for cover and digging desperately to hide in the ground There were no casualties in the infantry battalion. Of course, this had something to do with them lying in the shallow pit and holding their heads to death without looking up.

At this moment, Tukhachevsky retreated as soon as he blew the trumpet. Able to leave behind the body of the dead sharpshooter, dragging a wooden platoon behind him and slowly backing away, while a group of shooters had already changed on the coalition position at this moment, the shooters in the sniper team withdrew to rest, and the deputy hugged The M1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifle started shooting.

The crisp and slightly sharp gunshots came and went. At this time, Tukhachevsky realized that the enemy on the opposite side had only a dozen guns firing, but these dozen sniper rifles were almost useless at a distance of 600 meters. In vain, the 200 groups of Red Army soldiers of the infantry battalion who were retreating with wooden platoons soon suffered casualties. Finally, the fear of death overwhelmed the remaining 100 groups of infantry soldiers on the ground, and many of them threw away their hands. The heavy wooden platoon turned around and ran towards its own position. Neither organization nor discipline could resist the death and fear brought by the opponent's sniper.

One group of people ran like this, and then ten groups of people ran like this. Immediately after that, almost all the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were still alive and able to move in the center of the position threw away the wooden rafts in their hands, and sprinkled scorpions on their own positions. Running like crazy, the team collapsed in an instant.

"Fool! What a fool! Can two legs run past bullets? Standing up and running has a bigger target. This battalion is over!" Fumanov turned his head to look, and the person who said this came to him at some point The division commander Chapayev.

要说400人撒丫子跑起来的话，联军阵地上的狙击手水平再高毕竟只有12支狙击枪，对方跑出这200米最危险的地段的话顶多花上半分钟到1分钟，这点时间也就够12名狙击手干掉对方7、80人的样子。

But the god of luck did not stand on the side of Tukhachevsky and his First Army today. The heavy machine guns on the opposite coalition positions suddenly opened fire. The distance of 600 meters to 800 meters is against the m1918a2 Browning heavy machine gun. It is one of the best distances to display firepower. In less than 2 minutes, the 9 heavy machine guns on the front line of the coalition army set off a rainstorm of metal bullets on a width of 800 meters, and scattered less than 400 soldiers in front of the position. The soldiers of the infantry battalion of the Soviet Red Army who were running happily were all swept to the ground, and none of them managed to escape.

The real blood flowed like a river. In just two hours, nearly 1800 Soviet Russian soldiers died on this open land with a width of 900 meters and a depth of 1000 meters. Just now, so many soldiers fell in such a small place, and in just a few minutes However, the failure of Tukhachevsky's offensive this time made the entire army shrouded in an atmosphere of ominous and despair.

This battle can no longer be fought!More than one division commander of the First Army had this thought in their minds!
