My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 90 The Eighth Route Army’s most effective target for practicing marksmanship: the locust army, the living kind.

"What does Balu want to do?"

Male Shangzhi hid in the main body of the Xiazhuang stronghold, looking solemnly at Tubal Road, which surrounded the stronghold and began to build defensive positions.

He has found out.

The Tubal Road surrounded by the outside is not only very strong, with more than 600 people, but also very powerful, equipped with a large number of machine guns, submachine guns, and even many grenades and mortars.

Powerful.

If the squadron under his command wanted to break through without reinforcements, it would be almost impossible during the day.

"It seems that they plan to surround us for a long time?"

The deputy squadron leader's tone was equally solemn.

The Xiazhuang stronghold was built at a high location, which was suitable for security and difficult to raid. However, it also brought a problem. The water source had to be transported up from wells and ponds at the foot of the mountain.

Because it rained heavily not long ago, he organized manpower to clean the reservoir. The plan was to replenish the water reservoir today, so now only two days' worth of water is stored in the stronghold.

Even if I use it sparingly, it can only last four days.

And what's even more troublesome is,
Because the Xiazhuang stronghold is deep in the mountainous area, there is no telephone line laid. The communication with the brigade headquarters relies on cavalry communication troops. But now that Tubal Road surrounds them, the communication troops cannot get out at all.

We can only wait for the brigade headquarters to take the initiative to discover the situation here.

The communication between the Xiazhuang stronghold and the Liao County brigade headquarters is that the stronghold sends communications soldiers to report the situation to the headquarters every other day. If the headquarters does not see the stronghold communications soldiers for three consecutive days, it will take the initiative to send communications soldiers to investigate the situation.

Count a day's journey.

In other words, it would take four days for the brigade headquarters to discover that the Xiazhuang stronghold was surrounded.

Then it will take another day to gather troops and go to the stronghold. If Tubal Road blocks the attack for a while, it will take six or seven days, or even longer.

The group of Tubal in front of them is obviously difficult to deal with. Even if the brigade headquarters wants to defeat them, it will not be particularly easy, and they may even have to request reinforcements from other counties.

When I think about not having water for a week,

The Japanese deputy squadron leader felt his scalp numb.

If you don't eat for a week, you can still survive, but if you don't drink water for a week, you will definitely have big problems.

"Bagaya Road."

Ogami also realized this situation. He looked through the shooting hole at the Eighth Route Army building a position a few hundred meters away. He suddenly became angry and howled:

"Shoot, shoot!"

Beside him, a crooked machine gunner immediately pulled the trigger.

The position constructed by the second battalion was very cautious and was 300 meters away from the edge of the Japanese stronghold in Xiazhuang. At this time, the male Shangzhi was located within the stronghold itself, more than 500 meters away from the position constructed by the first battalion.

At this distance, the accuracy of machine gun fire is very low.

da da da da
The bullet hit the edge of the distant position, only to splash up a series of earth debris.

Snapped··

At the same time, bullets continued to be fired from the Eighth Route Army position opposite and hit around the shooting holes. However, the main body of the stronghold with a structure of concrete and bluestone bricks was very hard, and the bullets only left a few burrows.

"Stop shooting."

After thirty rounds of bullets were fired in one bucket, Ogami calmed down a lot and ordered the machine gun to stop firing.

The Imperial Army is not rich in bullets either.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet suddenly came in from the shooting hole and hit the machine gunner's front. After a crisp sound, the machine gunner fell completely in front of the shooting hole and made no sound.

Blood dripped from his forehead, staining the unique bullet bucket of the crooked handle.

Looking at the machine gunner lying on the ground, Ogami looked a little pale.

If the bullet had missed even slightly, he would have died.

···
On the Second Battalion position outside the main body of the Xiazhuang stronghold.

"Miss."

Several soldiers with shooting talent selected from the second battalion were holding 98k with a scope and aiming at the flaming shooting hole 500 meters away, firing continuously.

Wang Xikui was beside him, holding a telescope and teaching:
"At this distance, the bullet will follow an arc and fall a lot."

“Also consider windage.”

“If you want to hit, you have to calculate the advance.”

As the top recruit, Ma Rongshun from the Second Company of the Third Battalion was also sent to temporarily join the Second Battalion. With him, there were more than 100 recruits.

The intention of the regiment headquarters is to strengthen the strength of the second battalion while also allowing these top recruits to learn and gain practical experience.

At this time, Ma Rongshun held up the Japs telescope captured in the battle at Songjiazhuang and looked at the shooting holes of the Japs stronghold in the distance. He couldn't help but swallow his throat as he looked at the bullets that kept falling around the Japs shooting holes.

The magnification of the telescope in his hand is the same as the scope of these sniper rifles, which is four times.

But at this time, from a distance of 500 meters, he looked over and saw that the enemy's shooting hole was only a tiny size, smaller than the ocean ten meters away.

This group of people can actually almost hit the target.

He has also participated in three actual combats, and he knows very well how difficult it is to hit a target 500 meters away.

In fact, in an independent group, if you can continuously hit the human target 150 meters away without missing the target, you can be called an excellent shooter.

As for the dozen guys in front of me, each of them could hit the shooting hole of the Japanese stronghold 500 meters away with relative accuracy. Although they did not penetrate the shooting hole and hit the stronghold, the deviation was within one meter.

"It seems that we need to practice shooting carefully."

Ma Rongshun himself is also an excellent shooter in the third battalion. He can continuously hit human-shaped targets 200 meters away. Even with a sniper rifle with a scope, he can continuously hit human-shaped targets 300 meters away.

Every 100 meters the shooting distance increases, the shooting difficulty will increase exponentially.

When compared with this group of people, he felt his own shortcomings.

Far from good.

Keep up the good work.Then, Ma Rongshun saw Wang Xikui, the top man in the regiment who had carried out the mission of harassing the Xiye Squadron, kill the Japanese machine gunner in the shooting hole with one shot.

"Great!"

His eyes suddenly widened and he spat out something loud.

Now he has only a thousand rounds of live ammunition. From 300 meters away, even at a distance of 350 meters, even with a sniper rifle, it is difficult to hit the target.

And this one, from a distance of 500 meters, killed the Japanese machine gunner's head with one shot.

···
"continue!"

"continue."

"free time."

"Hit the little devil if he shows up."

"One hundred rounds each."

Wang Xikui issued the order to shoot freely.

For the Eighth Route Army soldiers, there is nothing better than Japs, and live Japs, as a better target for marksmanship practice. I believe that every Eighth Route Army soldier can exert his strongest strength.

And he quickly improved his shooting skills by missing the target again and again.

"For you guys."

Wang Xikui also distributed sniper rifles with scopes and [-] rounds of ammunition to the ten recruits who came to observe.

Following Wang Xikui's order, the dozen or so novice snipers who participated in the training, as well as ten good recruits, suddenly became joyful. They all took their guns and wandered around the position, shooting at the Japanese from time to time.

The shooting accuracy of these novices was far inferior to that of Wang Xikui, and the position built by the second battalion was 300 meters away from the enemy's outer positions and 500 meters away from the main part of the enemy's stronghold.

In addition, the Japanese did a good job of concealment.

At this distance, it usually takes two hundred shots to hit one shot.

But there are too many people, too many guns, too many bullets.

In this siege mission, Li Yunlong received a total of 140 million rounds of ammunition, with [-] rounds allocated to each enemy. Therefore, Wang Xikui made a bold move and allowed the good young men selected by the second and third battalions to shoot freely. .

Faced with the continuous firing of more than 30 cold guns, the Japanese in the Xiazhuang stronghold suddenly felt a deep chill.

If you poke your head a little, or even pass by the shooting hole and poke out the telescope, you may be shot. Especially the Japanese on the outer positions of the Xiazhuang stronghold are complaining.

Ogami once organized a counterattack.

Play cold shots at each other.

Although the Locust Army's shooting skills are good, those who participated in the cold shooting of the Independent Regiment are all elite seedlings. They are no worse than the Locust Army, and the average level is much higher. In addition, the weapon performance is not as good, the number of people is not as high, and the number of bullets is not as good as that of the Locust Army. No, after being beaten five to zero, the Japs stayed in the stronghold, waiting for help.

···
"Have security posts been set up in the surrounding villages?"

Outside the position, in the temporary command post, Li Yunlong asked Ding Shenggui, deputy battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

"Warning posts have been deployed in the five surrounding villages."

"Checkpoints have also been set up at all intersections leading to the county seat."

Ding Shenggui replied.

"it is good."

"I'll go back to the regiment first, and then you can take command of the second battalion."

Li Yunlong said.

The purpose of giving command to Ding Shenggui is to train battalion-level officers. Judging from the current situation, the independent regiment still needs to expand and more outstanding officers are needed.

After all, there are currently only 500 people in the Independent Regiment, and Chu Yunfei's 5000th Regiment next door has [-] people.

Although the Japanese were slower than expected, a powerful attack was bound to come, and the independent regiment also needed more troops to deal with it.

As for blocking the incoming Japanese reinforcements from Liao County, it was Shen Quan, the first battalion, who was responsible for the command.

And with the walkie-talkie, he can also know the frontline situation at the regiment headquarters at any time.

"Yes."

Ding Shenggui, also a veteran of the Red Army, saluted in response.

"Remember, besiege but not attack. If the Japanese dare to come out, give me a severe beating, but you must not attack."

"Be careful of enemy breakouts at night and use more landmines."

Li Yunlong repeatedly warned.

It's not that they're afraid of a strong attack, or that they're afraid of casualties, and they're reluctant to attack, but it's just that there's no need to attack.

Just like the current independent regiment, they still practice bayonet skills hard, but he also issued an order that bayonet tactics are prohibited unless absolutely necessary.

"Yes!"

Ding Shenggui nodded.

After giving instructions, Li Yunlong returned to the Independent Regiment and continued to preside over the work of the regiment, leading the training of troops and training new officers and cadres.

···
"Nani,"

Until May NO.20.

Only then did the Beijing Brigade in Liao County learn about the news that the Xiazhuang stronghold was surrounded.

"gather."

"Support the Xiazhuang stronghold."

Captain Beijing immediately gathered his troops and prepared to relieve the Xiazhuang stronghold.
