Chapter 309: Highest Honor
Actually, using a light machine gun as a sniper rifle was not Tang Dao's own initiative.
Whether it was World War II or the future Battle of the Northern Icefields, there were examples of soldiers using light machine guns or even heavy machine guns as sniper rifles to hit long-distance targets.
Let alone 700 meters, there is even a hit record of 1,000 meters.
The Czech light machine gun has a standard range of up to 1,500 meters and an effective range of up to 900 meters. The former is the theoretical value that the bullet can maintain a straight trajectory, and the latter is the effective killing distance tested on the test field.
That means that as long as the shooter can see the target far enough away and has strong enough shooting skills, in theory, he can kill the target 900 meters away or even further with a bullet that maintains a straight trajectory.
However, this is only theoretical after all. For an excellent machine gun shooter, being able to suppress the enemy's firepower at a distance of 400 meters is already very impressive.
Like Tang Dao, operating a light machine gun to kill the opponent 700 meters away, at least for the two Chinese elites at this time, it definitely subverted their common sense.
“Sir, what if the Japanese still don't give up and want to exhume the remains of our brothers?” Peng Chong licked his dry lips and asked subconsciously.
"If the booby trap buried two meters deep under the soil is detonated, then I will request the command headquarters to use a heavy mortar group to focus fire on the coordinates. If the Japanese army feels that the business of exchanging living people for corpses is worthwhile, then Come and do it!" Tang Dao's eyes looked towards Cangcheng with a chilling look.
"Furthermore, once they do this, I will convince the two commanders to send a clear telegram to the whole country and the Japanese Tenth Army that our entire Songjiang army will attack the Kunisaki detachment without leaving any prisoners of war, but there will be With one shot, one person will definitely take the head of the dog from another country, and he will fight until death in this life!"
The two of them took a deep breath. The Army Lieutenant Colonel in front of them was really ruthless. Although the Japanese also killed prisoners of war, they never did so in a big way and had to hide them. This guy touched his reverse scale and directly wanted to invent the code for the entire army in the country and not keep prisoners of war. That almost meant that Songjiang's 30,000-strong army will engage in a deadly battle with the Tenth Army in a "If you don't kill me, I will kill you."
Because the remains of comrades buried on the battlefield will not be disturbed by the enemy.
Is it worth it?
worth! After thinking about it carefully, the two people were surprised to find that they were extremely inclined to the army lieutenant colonel's decision, even if they knew that they would die after making such a decision.
Yes, whether you live or die, you are my comrade-in-arms! You protect the country, and I will protect you, even if you are asleep.
This is not what philosophy Tang Dao is passing on to these soldiers, but their gradual awakening on the battlefield.
I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of dying in a foreign land, because I have brothers and I can eventually go home.
Such an army is the most terrifying army.
In the future, China will ceremoniously welcome the remains of its colleagues even if it takes decades. It is precisely because of this concept.
Fortunately, the Japanese did not give Tang Dao such a decisive opportunity to make a declaration.
Major Asahi Kongo, who wanted to make up for his mistakes, died. Although the 7.96-caliber bullet from the Czech light machine gun did not break his heart into pieces so accurately, it broke his aorta and did not give any medical supplies. It took only one minute for him to be rescued and he died.
The two Japanese captains who came in a hurry looked at each other and were a little happy. At least no one was crazy anymore and asked them to dig up Chinese corpses all over the world.
That is completely useless work.
It's not that they have any psychological burden to vent their anger by destroying Chinese corpses, but from a tactical point of view, if they have that time, they might as well dig enough bomb shelters like the Chinese.
The last round of ferocious artillery fire by the Chinese scared the Japanese army. Although there were no heavy artillery, the mountain artillery and mortars alone were no match for hundreds of them, especially in Cangcheng with such obvious coordinates. They are even more unwilling to become victims of Chinese artillery fire.
As a result, the military orders issued by the dead ghost Asahi Jingo became a thing of the past, and the Japanese troops stationed in Cangcheng mainly focused on building fortifications.
Unintentionally, this group of Japanese remnants also avoided the ferocious artillery fire retaliation from the Songjiang defenders, and their lives were much better than that of their **** Major.
Tang Dao did not have time to repair it when he returned to Songjiang City. He had just said a few words to the colonel of the 677th Regiment who came to greet them in person when he received a military order from the headquarters, requiring him to go to the headquarters immediately to report on the battle situation in Cangcheng.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll help you make arrangements here!" The Army Colonel forced out a smile and patted Tang Dao on the shoulder, and asked several school officers and lieutenants who had returned from Cangcheng, including Peng Chong, to follow him. superior.
In this person's opinion, this time Cangcheng is not a great victory, but it can definitely be regarded as a successful defensive battle. Tang Dao and these officers can get some rewards. This is what the army colonel can do for his subordinates who are lucky enough to survive. Got some benefits.
It's just that there are some gaps between reality and what they imagined.
Not only did the officers who had achieved great achievements not receive any welcome treatment from the commander, but after the captain and guard company commander in charge of the security ran to report to the headquarters, it took several minutes to come out, and the few who were accompanied by Tang Dao were not allowed to come out. The famous school official entered and only he was allowed to enter the headquarters to report on the battle situation in Cangcheng.
The rest of the people are waiting outside the headquarters.
Tang Dao could only enter the courtyard alone and walk towards the small building that served as the headquarters.
These two lieutenant generals think that I suffered too much damage on the front line of Cangcheng? Even though Tang Dao was in a strong mood, he didn't feel a little uneasy when he saw this treatment.
In the battle of Cangcheng, the defenders totaling two infantry battalions were able to return to Songjiang alive, but only 398 people, including 160 seriously injured, and nearly 80% of the battle losses. From this aspect alone, It can definitely be considered a defeat. If the two lieutenant generals used this to criticize him, Tang Dao would naturally have nothing to say.
The gate of the headquarters was closed tightly, and all the guards and soldiers on both sides stood 20 meters away, saluting Tang Dao with a military salute before he had time to change his uniform. Tang Dao returned the salute.
“Report!” Tang Dao stood at attention at the gate.
“Come in!” A deep roar came from inside.
Tang Dao pushed the door open.
Then, I was stunned.
The scene in the headquarters was beyond Tang Dao's expectation.
Too many people.
Tang Dao, who had accompanied the two commanders in the headquarters to study operations, had never seen so many people in the headquarters.
Two rows of people stood on both sides of the conference table, including the two lieutenant generals Wu and Guo at the front. They all stood straight and looked at Tang Dao.
In other words, the two lieutenant generals are not the important point. Those standing together are all generals.
The commander of the army, the chief of staff of the military, the commander, and the commander of the brigade, including Wang Gongyu, commander of the Security Troupe who accompanied the last seat, Tang Dao knew or did not know it. At least 15 generals stood on both sides of the meeting table.
Even Tang Dao is a little confused at the moment.
What is this?
After a while, Tang Dao stood at attention and raised his hand to salute: "Hello, sirs!"
Those present were all generals. Tang Dao felt that if he saluted and called out one by one, he would die of exhaustion, so it would be better to give them a unified name.
However, Tang Dao didn't expect the return gift he imagined, no one came.
Don't follow martial ethics? We are also an army lieutenant colonel! Tang Dao, who didn't wait for the return gift, simply didn't put down his hand.
"Let me tell you! Brother Guo! After this kid sees this battle, he will definitely cheat and make a fool of himself. He will never come alone." Lieutenant General Wu looked at Lao Guo beside him. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Commander-in-Chief, you are still very good. You have figured out this boy's temper in less than two days. Old Guo is ashamed of himself!" Lieutenant General Guo also laughed.
"How about it, Deputy Director Tang, are you satisfied with the welcome ceremony I, Old Wu, have prepared for you?" Lieutenant General Wu once again turned his attention to Tang Dao, who was still performing a standard military salute.
Tang Dao's eyes don't squint.
Without returning the greeting, I will fight to death and keep this posture.
Lieutenant General Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Looking back at the two rows of lieutenant generals and major generals who were standing straight, the smile on their faces faded and they shouted in a deep voice: "In the battle of Cangcheng, our soldiers on the front line of Cangcheng are not afraid of life and death. They kill the enemy without calculation. Everyone, we are waiting for you." How will the leading general treat him?"
“Stand at attention!” Liu Yuqing took a stride forward.
“Bang!” The generals all stood at attention.
“Salute!”
In unison, all the generals present, including the two commanders, raised their right hands and saluted.
Tang Dao's blood boiled all over.
He knew that this was not a personal salute from the generals, but a tribute to all the defenders of Cangcheng.
This is the general's recognition of the soldiers' sacrifice and is the highest honor for soldiers.
This welcome ceremony really shouldn't be too grand.
