Chapter 855 Strength determines luck!
People look at things from different angles depending on their location.
Standing from the standpoint of the Japanese army, Captain Matsumoto Umon showed his courage as a soldier!
The Japanese Army Captain, who had lost his rapid-fire artillery squadron, held his sword with both hands, the blade forward, desperately but firmly pointing at the Chinese cavalry that was only 60 meters away from him and 'smashed' it like a huge wave.
No matter what his purpose is, whether he wants to cover the retreat of his already panicked colleagues, or he wants to prove his courage as an imperial soldier, or he wants to inspire his colleagues' determination to resist and not become a lamb to be slaughtered. .
However, a person who dares to raise his last weapon in the face of the cold blades of nearly a hundred cavalry is worthy of respect, even if he is an enemy.
However, for the Chinese cavalrymen who were running wildly, they could not see the captain's gold star on Matsumoto Umon's epaulettes, nor could they see the samurai sword that Matsumoto Umon raised in despair, nor could they feel what he called Military courage, they only see the enemy, the enemy wearing **** yellow military uniforms, whether you resist or not, they will strike down with a single blow.
Captain Matsumoto Umon's samurai sword is considered sharp. Under the winter sun, it shines with a cold light. However, in front of a saber that carries thousands of kilograms of kinetic energy, no matter how sharp the sword is, it is actually worse than an iron rod. More useful.
Hearing just a soft "dang" sound, the Japanese Army Captain's samurai sword was cut off by a Chinese cavalryman who passed by him at high speed.
The Chinese cavalry did not stop and continued to charge forward at high speed.
Following closely, there was the saber of another cavalryman!
The Japanese Army Captain's body was stiff and motionless. It was not until the cavalry ran more than ten meters away that a head with a steel helmet slowly fell from his neck, and a fountain of blood spurted out to a height of nearly two meters.
Perhaps because the knife was too fast, the headless body stained red by blood still stood up. It wasn't until another horse roared past one side that the body fell to the sky!
The so-called courage is nothing in the face of absolute strength!
This should be the first Japanese Army captain-level officer to die in this cavalry raid, but it will never be the last.
However, this battle merit that should be recorded in the battle merit book cannot be recorded on an individual, because no one knows who they have killed, or how many they have killed. Everyone is waving the knife in their hand like a machine. , slashing at every enemy in sight. Anyone wearing a yellow military uniform is an enemy.
Who would remember whether the epaulettes on his shoulders were captains or soldiers? No one has that time.
The most terrifying thing about the cavalry compared to the infantry is the high speed they can achieve with the help of their horses. Even now, in an era dominated by thermal weapons, the speed of the high-speed advance makes it impossible to aim, even if the remaining Japanese infantry have worked hard to shoot. Their own bullets, but the huge panic has caused them to lose their previous accuracy, and they have almost no substantive results, and they will be hacked to death by the cavalry that pass by at high speed one after another.
The saber that carries the huge kinetic energy of the horse's running wildly cuts down with a single blow, which is often a terrifying knife edge. Not to mention the fragile human body, even if you hold up the 38 rifle to block, it may be cut in two.
Of course, it also depends on the quality of the sword. Most of the sabers equipped by the cavalry company of the Four Lines Regiment are Yanling swords with thick backs. They also have some characteristics of Japanese swords, making the blade length reach 90 centimeters. This kind of saber It is extremely sharp and can cut a calf-thick wooden stick in two, but its armor-piercing ability is slightly lacking. In this raid, at least three sabers were broken in half during the desperate counterattack with the Japanese infantry.
However, it is not a bad thing to find shortcomings on the battlefield. This becomes an opportunity for the cavalry company of the Si Xing Regiment to change to Tang Dao in the future and propose a new saber with improved manufacturing.
The most shining player in the audience has to be Tang Tuanzuo.
It's not because he has the best riding skills. From Gong Shaoxun to ordinary sergeants in the cavalry company of the Four Lines Regiment, they are all veterans who have been in the army for at least three years and lived on horseback for more than two years. The three-month training with the Tang Sword completely relies on physical strength and The "half-baked" level of flexibility that allows him to shoot accurately on horseback is really not the last place, but it can also be ranked in the bottom ten.
Other cavalry relied on collective strength. You slashed with one sword, and I took the next one. Almost no Japanese soldier could escape the third sword. Tang Tuanzuo, who had no cavalry tactical concept, was not alone. He had a hammer.
Hammer, who has fully recovered from his injuries, has grown into a big dog, weighing nearly 80 kilograms. His endurance and speed are both excellent, and he can even lead the charge of 700 meters ahead of the horse that has already climbed up.
The others are leading the way, but the hammer is leading the way.
A Japanese Army Commander in the simple trench desperately aimed at the Tang Dao that was close at hand. The next moment, he was bitten by a hammer rushing towards him at high speed. The huge force directly brought the stocky Japanese Army Commander with him. Fall to the ground.
Then, the extremely smart Hammer showed no signs of fighting. He immediately released his mouth and rolled away.
The next moment, Tang Dao arrived on a bay-red horse. He didn't even use a knife, and the horse's hooves slammed through the Japanese soldier Cao Chang's thick body.
The Japanese commander Cao could still vomit blood at the first blow, and then the horse's hoof stepped on his face.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", which was very similar to the sound of a watermelon being stepped on, and then nothing happened.
The title of the Chosen Son is gone!
Of course, in addition to the help of the hammer, the main reason why Tang Dao can chop people like cabbage on the battlefield is the samurai sword in his hand.
Anyway, it was Xiao Nippon's sword, and Tang Dao didn't feel bad at all. No matter who it was, or whether he raised his rifle to block, he just used his arm strength and swung the sword down.
If Fujiwara Senzuo were here, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to fight him with Tang Dao. Just this posture of using the sword as a hatchet could infuriate the number one young martial artist in Japan to internal injuries!
I can only say that the ancestral sword of the Fujiwara family is really not good at all. With one swing of the sword, it often cuts off the gun and the person at the same time!
The blood was so violent that no object within a dozen square meters could be spared!
After killing ten people in a row, Tang Dao and the maroon horse were dripping with blood. The blood on each person and horse smelled like they had just come out of the slaughterhouse.
Even Hammer, whose eyes were reddened by the desire to kill, subconsciously stayed away from Tang Dao. It was not because he was afraid of Tang Dao, but because the smell of blood on Tang Dao was too strong, especially for those whose sense of smell is ten times better than that of human beings. For a dog several times larger, it is an enhanced version of a butcher.
The Chinese cavalry looked at their commander covered in blood and were completely impressed!
He not only has amazing courage, but also possesses strength that is unmatched by ordinary people!
It can only be said that this was a disaster day for the artillerymen of the 2nd Infantry Regiment.
A dozen Japanese infantrymen and the brave Captain Matsumoto Umon were all lost in the first wave of cavalry charge. After that, there was no resistance anymore. The hundreds of Japanese artillerymen on the artillery position were like quails that had exploded their nests. There is no movement except running.
However, in the face of nearly two hundred cavalrymen running at high speed and sharp blades, all their escapes were in vain.
Distance!
Looking at the artillery position 700 meters away, which was already filled with killing sounds, Ishiguro Sadazou, who was stunned for a while, pushed away the guards who came up to try to take him away, and gave the last order in his life. Perhaps, it should be regarded as Three commands.
"Order the Third Battalion to cover the regiment headquarters to break out to the northwest, and the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions to break out on their own, and order the flag guards to burn the regiment headquarters flag. I will personally lead the regiment **** squadron to block the Chinese army for the entire army. In addition, Send a farewell message to the Division Commander and request him to rebuild our 2nd Infantry Regiment at the appropriate time!”
The Japanese army captain who played against Tang Dao for more than 3 hours but was restrained in every aspect and did not perform well. What he showed at the last moment of his life, whether it was the stupidity of mantis blocking the car or the despair of seeking death, But after all, he did not escape in panic, but instead showed the responsibility of a general in the army.
He had just ordered the two infantry brigades in the encirclement to break out on their own, naturally admitting the fact that the 2nd Infantry Regiment had been defeated.
Breaking out on your own is completely different from retreating. The latter is an organized retreat. Although retreat is not considered a defeat, the former is almost synonymous with defeat. How many people can escape is counted.
From the time the cavalry appeared to the order to break out on their own, it only took ten seconds. Ishiguro Sadazou, who had always been extremely cautious, was extremely decisive.
Tactically speaking, Tang Dao did not want the Japanese commander to decisively issue a breakout order.
His goal is to completely annihilate this infantry regiment. Although the Fourth Infantry Regiment has now managed to annihilate two infantry brigades, Ishiguro Sadazou still has more than 700 infantrymen at his disposal, and the only ones who can pursue them are Leng Feng's The three battalions and one cavalry company can only be considered a draw in terms of strength.
If they flee with all their strength and want to annihilate them without spending a huge cost, it will only remain in the beautiful imagination. Tang Dao hoped that they would react a little slower. Once the two infantry battalions of Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi had finished dealing with the enemy in front of them, it would be difficult for the more than 700 Japanese invaders to escape.
It is a pity that as soon as Ishiguro Sadazou saw that his two artillery squadrons were exhausted, he immediately issued a military order for the entire army to break out.
If this is the case, even if Leng Feng's third battalion and the three engineer platoons led by Yang Xiaoshan can completely wipe out the guard squadron behind them, the half-disabled third infantry brigade of the 2nd Infantry Regiment will still have a chance to escape.
But this time, luck was obviously not on the side of the Japanese.
Xia Dayu, who aspires to become a special soldier, participated in a mission for the first time.
Whether he wanted him to learn more battlefield experience or to protect him, Gu Xishui sent him to be Niu Er's observer.
That is currently the first person in the Four Lines Group who is qualified to be called a sniper. This is Tang Dao's evaluation of Niu Er!
Today's Niu Er has 'evolved' to the point where he can hit a helmet with the naked eye at a distance of 400 meters. This was proved on the training ground. If he uses a professional-grade sight found in the secret arsenal of the Northeast Army, he can hit a helmet with the naked eye. It can even increase its effective range to more than 560 meters.
That's because the effective range of the Mosin-Nagant rifle in his hand has reached its limit. If he is given a stronger rifle, Tang Dao has reason to believe that Niu Er's effective sniper range will reach more than 600 meters.
Such a level, not to mention in this era, even in the future, he will be a sharpshooter.
Tang Dao could only marvel at Niu Er's astonishing shooting talent. Although his current shooting level is higher than Niu Er's, don't forget that Niu Er was just a killer who wanted to close his eyes four months ago. Recruit eggs.
It only took four months to go from a new recruit to a sharpshooter who can accurately kill targets hundreds of meters away. Who can compare to this almost exaggerated rate of progress?
Perhaps in the future, Niu Er's progress will slow down significantly, but Tang Dao fully believes that he will become a more terrifying sniper than himself.
Because Niu Er is different from Tang Dao. Tang Dao is an all-round warrior who needs to be proficient in almost all categories. Although his brain development has reached the top of the human pyramid, his energy is destined to be limited. It cannot be said that all skills can reach the peak of human beings, not to mention that as the leader of a group now, he has more trivial matters, which is destined to make it difficult for him to go further at his current height.
Niu Er can do it, he spends almost all his energy on shooting. Even when he sleeps, he hugs his beloved Mosin Nagant rifle.
Just like the way of 'killing demons and eliminating demons' that Mingxin adheres to, the gun is the way of Niu Er.
Niu Er and his observer Xia Dayu were on the battlefield.
Yes, since two days ago, the young man and the current second sharpshooter of the Four Elements Group have been lurking in the wasteland on the south bank of the Bi River.
Both of them were covered in camouflage clothes made of withered grass and hid deep in the wilderness. They watched the fleeing people passing by, watched their colleagues bending down and walking through the grass, and watched the Japanese troops approaching. He suddenly stepped across the road more than two hundred meters away.
For two whole days, they were like two little beasts entering hibernation, staying at the lurking point without moving.
Even the large physiological activities necessary for humans are miraculously avoided by them.
In other words, this cannot be called a miracle. Before entering the battlefield, they first emptied their intestines and stomach according to several latent factors written by Tang Dao. Then in the next two days, they rarely replenished food and only used dried meat and Milk sugar to supplement the necessary nutrients for the human body.
Niu Er did not become the eyes of the Four Lines Regiment like ordinary special forces. His role was to deliver a fatal blow at the most critical moment. This was Tang Dao's expectation for him.
So, he has always been very patient. Even if he found the figure of a Japanese military officer with a rank of major or above, he would still wait patiently.
Until three red signal flares on the main battlefield in the distance rose into the sky, and the sound of gunfire instantly became fierce, he knew that the general offensive had begun.
“Heavy rain, look for valuable targets!” Niu Er finally stretched out his Mosin Nagant rifle from under his camouflage clothes and ordered softly.
Xia Dayu licked his dry lips and turned his gaze to the Japanese military headquarters 600 meters away, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Originally, the Japanese military headquarters was only 200 meters away from them. His binoculars had seen the figures of major and even lieutenant-level officers more than once. But the distance was too close. Niu Er could hit him with one shot, but then, they would Hunted by hundreds of Japanese troops.
After all, it was not the time to exchange lives for lives at that time. Young Niu Er and young boy Xia Dayu could only endure this temptation. Even if the Japanese army headquarters moved and a few big pieces of fat slipped away from under their noses, There was no action either.
Now, it is finally possible, but the distance is too far. Of course, Xia Dayu, who is on a mission for the first time, is unwilling to do so.
Then, the figure of a Japanese military officer, who was surrounded and mounted on a tall horse, broke into the field of view of Xia Dayu's telescope.
Because the distance was too far, even with a four-fold telescope, it was a bit blurry. Xia Dayu could not clearly see the rank of the Japanese officer, but his subconscious told him that it was a big fish.
“The azimuth is 15 degrees southwest, the distance is 600 to 620 meters, and the wind is northeast.” Xia Dayu reported the data softly according to the observer rules he had practiced hard for a month.
Niu Er pointed the muzzle of the gun in that direction, looked at the sight with one eye, and narrowed the other eye slightly.
The target, which is large enough for one person and one horse, is still clear in the scope, but only Niu Er knows that his palms are sweaty.
Because, this distance is already dozens of meters beyond his range!
The Mosin-Nagant rifle is a premium product designed by Mao Xiong. The effective range of its sniper model can reach 1,000 meters. In the future, the White Death will kill 500 opponents, Vasily will approach the city, and China will kill more than 200 beautiful American cowboys on the northern ice field. Sharpshooters all use this classic rifle.
But obviously, Niu Er is not as lucky as them. The "Shui Lian Zhu" in his hand is still an M1891 produced 12 years ago. Due to excessive use, the rifling is almost worn out, but even so, this rifle It can still maintain an extremely straight trajectory at a distance of more than 500 meters.
Of course, the reason why Niu Er was so determined to choose this rifle instead of the Japanese-style 38-type rifle, which may have a longer range, was the smokeless powder cartridge used in the "Shui Lian Zhu". The smoke produced after shooting is white and Less, it is more conducive to concealment, and the destructive power of the 7.62mm warhead is far greater than the Japanese 6.5mm Tosaka bomb.
Undoubtedly, this was a gambling-style ultrlong-range sniper attack. If the shot failed to hit, the Japanese officer, who obviously had a distinguished status, would be alert. Looking at the size of at least ten people surrounding him, it was known that there would be no third shot. Second chance.
However, if they don't shoot, the Japanese officers will go further and further away, and the chances will be slimmer, so Niu Er can only gamble.
Bet on yourself that you can perform exceptionally well once!
Or, it all depends on the luck of the Chinese snipers and the Japanese officers.
After holding his breath for five seconds, at the moment when the Japanese officer's horse began to move forward, Niu Er fired!
The clear gunfire of "Shuilianzhu" sounded; a faint white gunpowder smoke rose from the lurking point of the two men.
In the field of view of Xia Dayu's telescope, the Japanese officer was still sitting on his horse.
“Missed!” Xia Dayu clenched his fists tightly.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
