Chapter 930: 931 Boredom is the norm
Chapter 930 931 Boredom is the norm
Before dawn the next day, Cao Fei and his observers came to the place they had chosen yesterday. They prepared carefully, and then once again climbed to the position where they were squatting yesterday.
It was time to test their patience. The sun rose from behind them and shone little by little on the positions in front of them. In the morning, many soldiers from the Great China Empire were active in the trenches. The observers saw several helmets moving back and forth.
The small pit that looks very suitable for a sniper position is the same as yesterday, and there is still no change. Cao Fei was not impatient and continued to squat on the spot, as if he was a stone here.
From time to time, you can hear the sound of insects, and the cannons in the distance are still roaring tirelessly. At this time, Fengjiang, maybe the edge of the city is already in a mess.
Cao Fei thought about the relatively prosperous city he saw only ten days ago, and recalled the burning edge of the city he saw last night, feeling sorry for the houses that were probably reduced to ashes.
He still remembered the scene when he was fighting on Dongwan Island. They had been on the boat for a long time and suffered from vomiting along the way.
When they landed, they actually encountered troops from the Mirage Kingdom, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Then they established a foothold on Dongwan Island, and he also met a child named Liu Guozhu.
I heard that the child later studied in a school in Dongwan Port and his academic performance was very good. Later, the child wrote him a letter, saying that he was already an armored force officer in the Tang Empire.
In many lectures on glorious deeds within the army, Cao Fei did hear Liu Guozhu's name many times. Every time he heard this name, he would smile with joy.
Every time he recalled the battle on Dongwan Island, he would think of the little boy who called himself Liu Zhu. At that time, the little boy was just a guide.
Now, this little boy is no longer a child, he has become a star in the armored forces of the Tang Empire: I heard that Liu Guozhu destroyed more than 80 enemy tanks in total! This number is quite astonishing. According to the establishment of the Tang Empire, it is about two armored battalions!
One tank wiped out two enemy battalions of tanks... This kind of achievement is brilliant from any aspect. Cao Fei couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of the face of the thin child who was walking in front of his team. rising.
A few days ago, I heard that Liu Guozhu, who had been promoted to tank platoon leader, wrote him a letter. In the letter, he said that he was envious of his "benefactor" Cao Fei who was able to go to Fengjiang to participate in the war. His armored units were always on standby on the second line, and even The troops did not even cancel their holidays.
In the letter, Liu Guozhu also asked Cao Fei to pay attention to safety, and wished him to get more kills - between the lines, there is a sense of pride that this little kid has grown up.
The brat didn’t know how to cherish the hard-won peace at home, and it only took a few years for him to drift away. Cursing the young man who wrote to him lovingly in his heart, Cao Fei once again focused his attention on the place he had been monitoring.
The artillery battle in the distance became more intense. Last night, I heard from soldiers in nearby Fengjiang that the Chinese army had opened a gap further north. It was now less than 9 kilometers away from Fengjiang city.
In order to invade Fengjiang as soon as possible, Zhao Chen focused his attack on that side, so the battle here may not be possible for a while.
The artillery battle further away also attracted aircraft from Fengjiang. Some IL attack aircraft can always be seen circling in the distant sky.
After losing more than a dozen IL attack aircraft, the Elf pilots who came to Fengjiang to participate in the battle still made some progress. Now these pilots are very skilled in flying attack aircraft to attack ground targets.
The IL attack aircraft can not only use its cannon to attack armored targets on the ground, but also use rockets or bombs. Although the attack accuracy is not as good as the Stuka, it is also a very fierce ground attack aircraft.
After mastering this kind of aircraft, Fengjiang often dispatched aircraft to attack the ground artillery positions of the Dahua Empire, causing a large number of casualties to the artillery of the Dahua Empire.
In order to prevent the Dahua troops from invading Fengjiang, Fengjiang's air force has been desperately attacking ground targets these days to gain breathing space for its own ground forces.
The two sides have been fighting fiercely, and it can be said that they are exhausted by now. But the Dahua army relied on its own greater strength and continued to attack fiercely.
Honestly speaking, at this point in the battle, there is no such thing as a quick victory. The Fengjiang Army that captured Guiguang threatened Wanliang and Shanchong. The follow-up troops of the Dahua Army had to divide their forces to guard the two important towns. The number of troops supporting Zhao Chen has actually been reduced.
The Battle of Fengjiang has been going on for two months, and it has long lost the so-called speed. Even if Zhao Chen invades Fengjiang now, it will not be easy to quickly occupy the entire Fengjiang City.
The Fengjiang city area near the west side is now in ruins. Zhao Chen desperately mobilized artillery to bombard Fengjiang in order to psychologically shock Zhao Yu, crush Zhao Yu's will to resist, and let him flee Fengjiang quickly. .
Whether he fled to the Tang Empire or to Shanping, as long as Zhao Yu left Fengjiang, the morale of the troops defending Fengjiang would definitely be shaken, and he would be more certain to capture Fengjiang. Listening to the increasingly fierce sound of artillery in the distance, the two of them felt a little drowsy - this was indeed very boring, and this boredom actually filled every corner of the war.
For example, in submarine warfare, it feels very majestic to hear that the captain of a certain submarine sank hundreds of thousands of tons of enemy ships. But in fact, a submarine floating on the sea for three days may not be able to see an enemy transport ship.
Another example is some infantry. When they attack, they run behind the tanks. When they retreat, they also follow the mechanized troops and discard their armor. They may not see an enemy for several months in a battle. , as if victory or defeat has nothing to do with them.
Similarly, even Hartmann, the super ace in World War II air combat, divided the number of days on duty by the battle results. On average, it took him two or three days to shoot down an enemy plane... Other pilots may not see an enemy plane for more than ten days. It may not be able to knock down the opponent.
So, in a war, boredom is the norm, death is a common phenomenon, and romance is the rare brilliance.
"I feel like I got nothing today again." In order to offset his sleepiness, the observer said to Cao Fei boringly: "It's almost noon, no one can come again at this time, right? According to the sniper regulations, unless the terrain is very safe, otherwise Snipers are not allowed to enter the position at this time."
"That's our sniper regulations. If we judge by our sniper regulations, we don't need to wait here." Cao Fei said to his observer without moving.
"If no one comes today, let's change the place tomorrow and try to fight two minions." Without hearing his observer speak, Cao Fei continued.
"I listen to you! You are the boss." The observer said to Cao Fei in a long and boring voice. In the sniper team, the sniper is the commander, and the observer is only responsible for covering and cooperating with the sniper's actions.
From the equipment point of view, this observer may not be very good at sniping, and the other skill BUFFs are probably fully stacked.
First of all, the observer is equipped with a Type 56 assault rifle, which can provide continuous firepower at critical moments and cover the sniper's retreat.
Secondly, the observer must carry a large telescope with high precision to provide a broader reconnaissance field of view, to alert and find high-value targets.
Then, the observer also carries a new type of individual communication device. This device, which is about the size of a forearm, uses a bulky battery and can directly contact the headquarters in Fengjiang City.
In short, this observer seems to be a handyman doing the aftermath, but without such a person, it seems that it is really impossible.
Tang Mo is familiar with the two-person sniper tactic that became popular during World War II. Facts have proved that this combination method is scientific and effective.
During World War II, the Soviet army, which was very effective in sniper warfare, continued to use two-person or multi-person sniper tactics, gaining a tactical advantage over German snipers.
After the war, American sniper teams also adopted a two-person combination, which was much more efficient than a single-person operation. Whether Tang Mo's creativity is good or not is not mentioned, but he can plagiarize it, since the United States and the Soviet Union used it. They were all good, so he just took them and copied them.
Just when both of them thought that this day was still a fruitless day, they saw something moving in the trench of the Great Chinese Army next to the shallow pit in the distance.
"Hush! The prey may have appeared." Cao Fei alerted his observation hand, and then carefully looked through the scope at the place where there was movement just now.
When a steel helmet carefully poked out of the trench, Cao Fei finally confirmed that what he just saw was not an illusion: "Did you see that steel helmet? The one with the camouflage net on it."
"I saw it, he was very careful! Do you want to wait? What if there are two people?" the observer asked.
"Of course we have to wait! Wait until he completely enters the shallow pit before taking action!" Cao Fei replied matter-of-factly: "I don't know whether the other party is a group of people working together or alone."
"Re-measure the wind speed... I need accurate data! 400 meters is not a stable hitting distance." Cao Fei looked through the scope at the Dahua Army sniper who was slowly moving his body, reminding himself of his observation skills. : "Move gently! Don't get discovered!"
