Chapter 455 Cannonballs Don’t Have Eyes
“Here, I promise that all the comrades who sacrificed their lives, your parents, I will raise them, your wives and children, I will raise them, and your blood will not be shed in vain. Your heroic soul is not far away, and we will record your glorious life in the Martyrs Cemetery so that future generations of Guoming will admire you for generations to come!”
Seeing that many soldiers’ eyes were red, Zhu Xuefeng stopped speaking and waited for everyone! After calming down, he continued.
"You are fighting on the front line now. You cannot take it lightly. The enemy's temporary retreat is for the next counterattack. I will welcome the next battle with everyone, right here, right here. Position, let them see the tenacity and tenacity of our Guo Ming'erlang, let this land witness our bravery and victory!"
Hundreds of soldiers were collectively confused, and the leader personally fought alongside him? The morale was high for a moment and there was warm applause.
"Disband now!"
Seeing the team disperse with great enthusiasm, Song Yan, who had been anxious for a long time, along with Battalion Commander Xiao and Instructor Zhang, quickly gathered around.
"Chief, it's inappropriate for you to do this. It's very dangerous to stay on the position. The enemy has artillery, and the shells don't have eyes."
"Yes, the shells don't have eyes, so you can't tell them apart. You and I are all the same on the battlefield. There is no difference between us and soldiers. If there is no difference, why can soldiers fight and I can't? No need to persuade me. I can't pick up what I said in front of hundreds of people. "
Song Yan was a little confused for a moment. Looking at Battalion Commander Xiao and the instructor on the side, they couldn't do anything.
"Don't embarrass them. Find me a sniper rifle and let you guys see what I'm really capable of. Although I've never been on the battlefield, there are some things you can't compare to me. Of course, commanding operations doesn't count. I'm willing to give you the upper hand."< br>
Hearing that the leader wanted a sniper rifle, several people were relieved. Song Yan asked the accompanying guards to go back to Jiesha to find it. Zhou Xingguo had one in his hand, Zhu Xuefeng got a few, and there was one in the space. Others They were all divided by these people.
"Commander Song, you also go back. You are the commander-in-chief of the operation. You can't stay here. Battalion Commander Xiao, you follow your original plan and don't worry about me. I will find a suitable opportunity to snipe. It won't affect your tactical arrangements."
The others had no choice but to comply. Zhu Xuefeng pointed at the two guards following him and said with a smile, "I'm going to be a sniper. You don't want me to have two guards. If you can't expose yourself, take them all away."
The following afternoon and night were quiet. Zhu Xuefeng had a pleasant chat with many soldiers. Many of them were recruited after their years of training. It has been five months, but when I talk about the changes in my family over the past year, I am very grateful.
"Chief, we never dreamed that we would be able to live the life we have now. Our family will no longer be hungry, and we can buy cloth to make some new clothes for our children. Don't laugh at us. Come to the army. "Moon, I'm still fat, haha."
"That's right, my youngest son had an emergency, and he definitely wouldn't have been able to survive it before, but the town's infirmary rescued him within a few days. When I set off. , and he sent it to me alive.”
“You brought this to me, chief. If anyone wants to ruin our good life, I will shoot his head off.”
"With everyone's protection, Guoming will definitely get better and better in the future. The current difficulties are temporary. When our air force is established, the south will never dare to cause trouble again."
"Chief, the air force ? We will have an air force?”
"Well, of course there must be one. There will be a navy in the future, but not now, so we must protect this land. We must watch it become rich and powerful with our own eyes."
Not to mention the warriors Everyone was howling like they were beaten to death. At dawn, a dense attacking team once again appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance. It looked like there were more than a thousand people, and there were several battle groups behind them. They should be at the back. The total number of combat echelons should be no less than three thousand, or there are still some that have not been seen. A dozen tanks opened the way, without any fear of a surprise attack by the city's defense forces.
"Chief, find a place to hide quickly, the enemy will attack soon."
Zhu Xuefeng had never been on the battlefield and did not understand the secret, but he still followed the advice and entered the bunker.
“Our battalion suffered more than twenty deaths, and most of them were caused by shelling during the first enemy attack. This group of people, rich and wealthy, would carry out a shelling before every attack.”
< br>As soon as he finished speaking, intensive artillery fire exploded on the top of the mountain, and there was a sound of falling gravel and rocks from the command post.
"This cannonball is accurate enough. Where is our cannon."
"Chief, our cannon is hidden behind Jiesha City, a few kilometers away."
>"Oh, so there's nothing we can do with their cannons?"
"We sent scouts out, but no good news has come back for three days. We contacted them yesterday and they said that the enemy was blocking the way. Strictly, no breakthrough has been made yet.”
The scouts went out with walkie-talkies, which were turned off at ordinary times and only turned on for communication when there was intelligence reporting and designated times.
"The shelling has stopped, you go take command, I will find a place to snipe."
Once again rejected the suggestion to watch the battle from the command post, picked up the sniper rifle and walked out of the bunker. Under the worried eyes of the commander, they could only choose a hidden spot behind the trench to lurk. Seeing that the leader was not reckless, the two commanders finally relaxed and entered the position.
The sniper rifle used this time was also brought over from Fuso Base, M14NM. Strictly speaking, this is not a specially designed sniper rifle. It is far inferior to the sniper rifle that Da Mao will announce soon, but it relies on more sophisticated Its material technology and its accuracy are better than the large-haired SVD, especially in terms of ammunition. The performance of the M118NM bullet it uses is far superior to that of the SVD's 7N1 bullet.
The scope is very poor and has triple zoom. It is July now and there is water mist on the lens on the mountain top. It is far inferior to the 98K 8x scope, but these have little impact on Zhu Xuefeng’s abnormal vision. .
The tanks at the foot of the mountain are still shelling from time to time, covering the infantry attack. A shed has been set up in front of the jeep behind the tank. It should be a temporary command post. It is too far away and a sniper rifle cannot do anything. This sniper rifle The effective killing distance is 800 meters, which is not as far as the 38-meter cover of World War II. The only advantage is the high accuracy of long-distance shooting. For Zhu Xuefeng, this is enough.
To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Following this principle, the first shot was given to the little leader who brandished a pistol on the front line and ordered the charge. This is a living life. Seeing the figure lying in the scope, Zhu Xuefeng adjusted his mood for a while. This was the first time that he had killed a life with his own hands.
Without the command of the squad leader, the squad shrank forward. Zhu Xuefeng changed several positions again and cleared out a dozen small bosses. Facing the condescending and intensive firepower, the soldiers who lost control spontaneously began to retreat. , the small-scale retreat quickly spread like an infectious disease, and the first charge ended in an anticlimactic manner.
battalion commander Xiao was very impressed. The commander's marksmanship was amazing. He shot one at a time, all of them were the squad leaders hiding behind. Normally, he couldn't hit them at all.
"Chief, this is a good idea. It seems that we have to suggest setting up a special sniper unit to target officials. Look at this charge, it will be easier for us to deal with it."
"It's a good idea, but we can't get this gun. We only have four teams of several thousand people. It seems difficult to form an organized one."
Domestically, we don't have the ability to produce it at this time. , they are all confiscated, and there is no place to exchange them if you want.
The foot of the mountain is also discussing the strangeness of this charge, "There should be snipers. I saw in the telescope that the commanders behind fell down one by one..."
Second The attack came again, and this time the little boss hid more hiddenly. Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to climb to a higher place. Anyway, behind the trench, the two commanders were not worried.
Zhu Xuefeng, who was condescending, carefully searched for the small bosses one by one. High places are good, as long as he can see the figures, the high-precision sniper rifle once again unleashed its power. Seeing them fall down one by one, Battalion Commander Xiao was excited He waved his hand and said, "It's amazing!" Zhu Xuefeng, who was excited about fighting, did not change his position at all. This place is very safe, with a commanding height and an unobstructed view. The rocks in front are an excellent barrier. Even if the enemy rushes to the trench, he will not be able to threaten him. .
Little did he know that multiple in-situ shootings had already exposed him to the telescope at the foot of the mountain.
“Contact me the artillery, and fire intensively at this coordinate, directly hitting a base. (The artillery shells)”
“But our people are also on the mountain, and the artillery shells are not long. "Eye."
The artillery shells are not very accurate. Once covered, a large area will be bombarded. If your own people are not covered, the casualties will definitely be higher than those of the opponent with bunkers.
The commander also knew that if the team was withdrawn, the sniper would definitely withdraw from the battlefield. He gritted his teeth and became furious. With this troublesome sniper here, the attack could not be organized at all. He must be eliminated first.
“This is an order and must be carried out! Otherwise, more people will die and we won’t be able to take down a single mountain. How do you want me to go back and face the general’s wrath! Let them hide on the spot and not retreat! ”
A sudden burst of artillery rain directly stunned both sides. The soldiers who heard the roar hurriedly hid in the bunker, but the attacking ones were stunned and had nowhere to hide.
Zhu Xuefeng also had nowhere to hide. His first reaction was to hide in the space, but it was hard to explain in front of everyone, so he had to open the space and use his nimble skills to avoid it.
I heard that the shells would not fall into the same crater, but when faced with the shells being unloaded all at once, Zhu Xuefeng didn’t even have time to find the crater. He used his superhuman perception and speed to flee in all directions. Before the soldiers and Battalion Commander Xiao They saw him dancing among the cannonball fireworks.
"Chief..."
Battle Commander Xiao was anxious, but unfortunately his shouting was in vain. Zhu Xuefeng couldn't get through at all and couldn't be heard.
As expected, the artillery shells did not have eyes. Although there was space to protect them, they were baptized by at least five artillery shells in a very short period of time within a small range. The opponent's artillery really performed at a superb level.
The calm battlefield fell into a deathlike silence. The losses of the charge were too great. They ignored the supervising battle behind and collapsed directly. The defending soldiers had no time to pay attention. They just looked worriedly at the embarrassed people on the high ground behind. Chief.
The military cap is gone, and there are many bloodstains on the face. Several pieces of the military uniform have been torn out and are floating in the wind. The whole body has been baptized by gravel. The uniform is soaked in blood on the left arm, and the right hand is holding a sniper. Gun, only eyes full of anger.
"Thank God, thank God!"
The battalion commander Xiao and the instructor who were going crazy ran over quickly. The soldiers did not know the importance of the leader to the autonomous region. They only knew that he was the biggest leader. Battalion Commander Xiao and the instructor were Those who followed here know clearly that without this chief, there would be nothing in the autonomous region. Without the support of the chief, the autonomous region would have no future.
"I'm fine. It's just that my left arm was bitten by shrapnel."
As he said that, Zhu Xuefeng put down his sniper rifle and directly gritted his teeth to pull out the shrapnel that was deeply inserted into his arm. It was painful. He was sweating profusely and his face was pale.
"Hygiene, health worker..."
In the command room, the two people were uneasy. The leader was lucky today. He only suffered one shrapnel, which actually only pierced his arm, but they didn't know it was It was due to Zhu Xuefeng's body being strengthened again after reaching the ninth level of mountaineering skills.
After treating the wound, Zhu Xuefeng changed into a military uniform, "You continue to command, they may take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack."
"Is your face okay?"
"Anything can happen, it's all scratched by small stones. In a few days, there won't even be a mark, and my arm will be fine. I know it," he said, waving his left hand a few times to indicate that it was okay.
The two of them were still worried, "Chief, as long as we are here, this position will never be lost. Don't go to the battlefield. If there is any surprise, Commander Song will kill us."
Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, "Commander Song is so ruthless? Don't worry, I promise not to go to the battlefield, and you can take command with peace of mind."
The second unit from the foot of the mountain rushed to the scene, and the sniper's position on the top of the mountain was completely visible in the telescope. It was blown up and apparently killed.
"The second echelon is ready,..."
The battle started again, and sure enough the annoying sniper did not appear. The commander was very satisfied. The attack was carried out with several times the manpower, under the continuous cover of the tank gun. If we go down, we will definitely win this hilltop.
Looking at the densely packed attacking team that was constantly advancing, Zhu Xuefeng was filled with hatred. He left the observation port, picked up a sniper rifle and sneaked out of the command room.
Since they agreed not to enter the battlefield, they must keep their word. Zhu Xuefeng knew that the two of them would never agree to participate in the war by sniping. They would just run into the mountains. After suffering such a big loss, it was impossible not to retaliate. of.
Twenty minutes later, Zhu Xuefeng lurked in the woods across the road. This place was less than 800 meters away from the commander. Although guards were set up in the area, there was obviously no precaution. To be safe, he moved forward a few times again. Ten meters away, I suddenly found several figures moving in the dense forest on my side, coming towards the route I came from.
Looking at the military uniforms, they should be soldiers from the autonomous region, but he still kept an eye out and shot a few people on the way. The sniper rifle equipped with a silencer still startled a few people, and they quickly held their guns on guard. .
"Who is it? Password! Which army is it and why are you here?"
Hearing the clearly muffled and standard Beijing accent, several people breathed a sigh of relief and answered the password. , then explained in a low voice, "We are the scouts of the 122nd Battalion. The mission failed. The platoon leader was injured and needs urgent treatment."
It turned out that he was a scout who went out to explore the enemy's artillery position and exchanged fire with the enemy. Platoon leader Zong Youzhi tried to cover everyone's breakout, but was seriously injured and was snatched back by several people. He had to give up the mission and come back to save people.
"Zong Youzhi? Does he have a younger brother, what is his name?"
"Commander, it's me, my younger brother's name is Zong Youwei."
I don't know what At that time, the injured clan platoon leader woke up. He knew Zhu Xuefeng, and he still remembered the first mobilization meeting vividly.
"Are you Zong's eldest son?"
"Well, Chief, why are you here..."
