Volume 1 Deserter's Bloodbath Chapter 28 A one-man show!
The Nationalist government had prepared for the Battle of Shanghai for such a long time, and the troops selected to participate in the battle were all the elite of the Nationalist government. The 11th Division, as the mainstay of the Civil Engineering Department, was the elite among the elite. It was necessary for officers to graduate from military academies, and even the soldiers were veterans. These veterans had been tempered on the battlefields at home, and they would not shoot indiscriminately without orders.
"Feng E, you don't have to wait for orders. If you are sure, you can open fire directly!" Lin Yuan shouted in the direction of Feng E.
This is how sharpshooters are treated, they can choose when to fire freely.
In fact, there are more sharpshooters in the 62nd Regiment, unlike the Death Squadron which has only Feng E. However, these sharpshooters were trained on the domestic battlefield. They have never received professional sniper training and they only use ordinary rifles without scopes. It is very good if their shooting distance can exceed 300 meters!
Ordinary veterans were even worse. It was already good enough for them to hit the charging enemy at a distance of 200 meters, and this was already the performance of the elite veterans of the National Army.
But the opponents of the National Army, the Japanese devils, were different. More than 80% of their soldiers could accurately hit the soldiers hiding in the trenches at a distance of 300 meters. Although they were not 100% accurate, their accuracy was much more accurate than that of the National Army veterans at 200 meters. This made it difficult for sharpshooters who dared to fire at a distance of 300 meters to survive.
“Six hundred meters!”
With his eyes fixed on the sight, Feng E calculated the distance to the Japanese. At this time, his index finger was already on the trigger of the rifle, ready to fire at any time!
The bloody smell on the battlefield assaulted Feng E's senses. The Japs were moving very slowly at this time, bending over and walking in a curve. Behind the infantry, the Japs' heavy machine guns and mortars were setting up positions...
The muzzle of the gun moved slowly, and Feng E wanted to fire at the heavy machine gun position behind the Japanese infantry. Unfortunately, the shaking body of the Japanese infantry blocked Feng E's firing route.
"Five hundred and fifty meters!"
Feng E was very hesitant. He didn't know whether he should open fire or not. Feng E, who had experienced the attack and defense of Luodian, knew that once he opened fire, he might have to face the revenge of the Japanese. All the firepower from mortars, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. would come whistling at him. The Japanese just couldn't take advantage of the heavy equipment of the National Army.
"Old Li, stay away from me, I'm going to fire!" Feng E stared at the sight and said without raising his head.
"So far? Why should I stay away from you?" Li Chenglin asked puzzledly.
"If you don't want to be blown into pieces by the Japanese artillery fire, don't come close to me, keep a distance of more than ten meters from me!" Feng E said slowly, but his index finger had already begun to exert force slowly, and he had pulled the trigger!
"boom!"
“Crack!”
When Feng E fired, he didn't even look to see whether the bullet hit the target. He picked up the rifle, squatted back in the trench, and pushed the bullet forward!
"You stay here!" Feng E shouted when he saw that Li Chenglin next to him showed no signs of moving, then bent over and ran sideways in the trench.
"boom!"
There was no one within a meter around, so Feng E climbed onto the trench and fired another bullet!
“Crack!”
This time Feng E did not run again. He pushed the bullet forward and aimed again!
"boom!"
"Damn it, good job, you can hit the target from such a long distance, whoever did it, I will reward him!"
Yu Ziwen held up the telescope, and through the telescope, with the sound of the Mauser rifle, three Japanese soldiers who were bending over and moving on the opposite side fell down. They were not shot in the head, but at this distance, the trauma caused by the 7.92mm bullet to the Japanese soldiers was huge. If these three Japanese soldiers were not killed, they were seriously injured. At least they would not be able to set foot on the battlefield for a few months!
"Captain, the sound of gunfire is coming from the Death Squadron," the guard reminded.
As for this group of people in the Death Squad, the brothers of the 11th Division all knew what these people were here for. To put it nicely, it was to redeem themselves for meritorious service; to put it bluntly, they were sent here to die. After a bloody battle, 80% of them were killed or wounded. I'm afraid that after this battle, the Death Squad will disappear from the 11th Division.
"Pity!"
Yu Ziwen shook his head and sighed.
"If that person survives, give him something delicious to eat; it's my reward!" Yu Ziwen said after a pause.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The sound of firing from the Mauser rifles continued. The Japs finally couldn't stand the casualties anymore. The infantry stopped at a distance of 400 meters and lay on the ground looking for the sharpshooter on the Kuomintang position.
"there!"
The Japanese soldier holding the sergeant's mirror used his hand to indicate the direction for the grenade thrower.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Da da da……"
The Japs' light and heavy machine guns finally began to roar, sweeping fiercely at the firing trenches...
"Puff puff……"
“Click, click…”
Feng E, who was squatting in the trench and loading bullets into the gun chamber, could hear the sound of bullets penetrating the soil in front of the trench.
“Boom, boom…”
Grenades fired from the grenade launcher kept falling, it seemed that the Japanese were angered by Feng E!
"Swish, swish..."
The sand and soil kicked up by the grenade explosion covered Feng E's head. It seemed that the Japanese still hadn't found the exact location, and the Japanese grenade did not directly hit the trench where he was.
"Come on! Japs!"
Feng E encouraged himself, then looked out and pointed the muzzle of his rifle at the Japanese soldier who was standing straight and operating the grenade launcher.
"boom!"
He fired quickly, then Feng E put away his gun and started running in the trench...
“Puff!”
The bullet hit the Japanese grenade launcher operator. The Japanese who had just put the grenade in watched as the Japanese who was about to pull the trigger was knocked backwards by the kinetic energy of the bullet.
“Boom!”
The grenade in the grenade launcher flew straight up into the sky, and then fell vertically...
"idiot!"
The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground were terrified and looked at the falling grenade!
"boom!"
The grenade that fell to the ground blew away several Japanese soldiers around him, but Feng E's good luck ended there. There were many Japanese sergeants lying on the ground, and they finally found Feng E's exact location.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Da da da……"
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Bullets from light and heavy machine guns kept hitting the trench where Feng E had just fired, and grenades kept falling and exploding around the trench.
"boom!"
Finally a grenade fell into the trench and exploded inside.
"Fuck you, that's so scary!"
"Gululu!"
Feng E turned over in a panic and hid in the bomb crater behind the trench. The grenades that kept exploding behind him scared him to death!
"The Chinese sharpshooter is dead, kill him!"
The Japanese officer shouted loudly, and the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground began to move forward again, holding their rifles, bending over, and the steel helmets on their heads flashing in the morning sunlight!
Feng E, who hid in the bomb crater, did not start shooting immediately. He was waiting for the sharpshooters of the 62nd Regiment to open fire, at least to let them share some of the pressure with him, so that he would have a greater chance of survival.
"Captain, the Japs are coming up, three hundred meters away!"
The guard reminded Yu Ziwen,
"Got it. Order the sharpshooter to open fire. The rest of you, get ready. Use your light and heavy machine guns. Open fire as soon as the enemy gets within 200 meters."
Yu Ziwen stared blankly at the position of the Death Squadron. He was still sighing for the sharpshooter just now. He did not see Feng E leave. In this kind of artillery and machine gun fire, the chances of survival were too slim!
