Chapter 97 Gunshot!
Wei Dayong rode back to Lijiacun.
"Old Wei, what did the regiment leader and political commissar say?" Staff officer Liu Dali came over quickly and asked.
"The regiment commander agreed and asked the cavalry company to cooperate with our actions." Wei Dayong asked, "Old Liu, are the ammunition and dry food ready?"
Liu Dali replied: "We are in a hurry. We have only prepared dry food for the whole battalion for two days, and the ammunition is already ready."
"That's enough." Wei Dayong said, "Gather the soldiers together, I want to say a few words."
Liu Dali nodded and said: "Okay!"
Soon, the soldiers of the special operations battalion gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village, standing in orderly formation in company units.
In front of the queue, more than thirty light and heavy machine guns were placed in a row, reflecting the cold black light under the sunlight.
Under the influence of the veterans, the new recruits have high morale because the Independent Regiment is a heroic regiment.
Four battles and four victories, within a radius of dozens of kilometers, both the Japanese and the puppet troops trembled when they heard the name of the Independent Regiment.
This... is also the reason why these new recruits chose to join the independent regiment.
According to the practice of the Eighth Route Army, before a war, the soldiers will be mobilized before the war.
Wei Dayong held the Type 97 sniper rifle that killed countless Japanese and roared: "Comrades, do you know why I gathered you today?"
First company commander Zhang Qing yelled: "Battalion Commander, because the guerrillas have sent news, the Japs in the Xia Dian stronghold are massacring our comrades and ordinary people!"
Wei Dayong shouted: "The first company commander is right. The Japs in the Xiadian stronghold massacred a total of 98 of our comrades and villagers in less than 10 days. Some of them were shot alive by the Japs, and some were buried alive and fired with cannons."
, some were beheaded, some were bitten by dogs, and some were captured by the Japanese to practice assassination!"
"Perhaps at this moment, those beasts are killing our compatriots!"
"There is only one way to make the Japs in the stronghold stop doing evil, and that is to kill them all!"
"I only have one thought in my mind right now, to wipe out the Xia Dian stronghold!"
"Pay homage to the spirits of our fallen comrades and dead compatriots!"
"I know that half of you are new recruits. I just want to ask you, do you have the guts to follow me and kill all the Japanese in the Xia Dian stronghold? No one will be spared!"
"kill--"
"kill--"
"kill--"
Nearly three hundred soldiers roared at the same time, and a chilling momentum suddenly filled the air.
The overwhelming anger completely ignited the blood in the hearts of the soldiers.
Although the soldiers had red eyes, they looked crazy and roared like wild beasts.
Sun Desheng outside the village entrance was startled by the sudden shouts of killing from the special operations battalion.
The cavalry company was training, and he received an order from Li Yunlong.
Sun Desheng did not dare to neglect after receiving the order. He immediately gathered his troops and hurried towards Lijiacun.
"Captain Wei, what happened?"
Sun Desheng ordered the soldiers of the cavalry company to stand by outside the village. He rode his horse to the entrance of the village alone, dismounted and asked Wei Dayong.
Seeing Sun Desheng, Wei Dayong told the story of the Japanese massacre of the Xiadian stronghold.
"Damn, these beasts, I have to take their heads off and use them as chamber pots!" Sun Desheng said angrily, "Captain Wei, the commander ordered our cavalry company to cooperate with you. Whatever you say, our cavalry company will do whatever you want.
!”
Wei Dayong knew that Sun Desheng was the kind of person with an upright personality and would not hold any grudge against him because of the last sparring session.
Wei Dayong said: "Well, without further ado, we will leave for Xiadian Town immediately, where we will be met by guerrilla comrades."
Upon hearing this, Sun Desheng immediately mounted his horse and headed out of the village.
There are more than a hundred soldiers in the cavalry company, each of whom carries a cavalry rifle on his back and a cavalry standard saber on his waist.
Together with the special operations battalion, we marched towards Xiadian Town.
…
On the way, Wei Dayong threw his Type 97 sniper rifle to Wang Xikui: "Old Wang, you can use my gun from now on."
Wang Xikui was holding a Type 97 sniper rifle and looked slightly stunned.
Wang Xikui said: "Batalion Commander, I am not very comfortable with the Japs' guns."
In fact, it wasn't that Wang Xikui didn't use it smoothly, or that he felt resentful when he saw something that was meant for little devils.
The other warriors all used the 38 big cover, but he was the only one who still used the medium form.
"You can use this Zhongzheng rifle to point and hit anywhere within 300 meters, but it will be difficult to hit the target at 400 meters." Wei Dayong said, "You are now the sharpshooter of the Langya Special Forces. If the target is 400 meters away,
What about you?"
"I have adjusted this Type 97 sniper rifle, and it is very accurate. Once used, it can shoot targets at 600 meters, let alone 400 meters."
In fact, Wang Xikui's marksmanship is very good, and he has [Rifle Proficiency] on the panel. The main reason is that the gun limits his strength.
Both the Zhongzheng rifle and the 38-meter cover are based on the design concept of imitating the Mauser rifle. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The former uses 7.92mm rifle bullets, which are powerful, but the recoil is also large. The latter uses 6.5mm rifle bullets, which are less powerful and have greater penetration.
However, because there are currently too many arsenals in the country, the production technology is uneven.
In addition to those produced by large factories, Zhongzheng rifles produced by small factories are much less accurate and not durable.
The last time Wang Xikui was in Lijiapo, he saw Wei Dayong using this 97 sniper rifle to kill a Japanese soldier 500 meters away.
Wang Xikui asked Wei Dayong: "Batalion Commander, I used your gun, so what did you use?"
"I'll use that one."
Wang Xikui looked in the direction pointed by the battalion commander. On Liu Zi's back was a rifle with a scope that he had never seen before.
Wei Dayong said: "The German-made Mauser 98k sniper rifle has excellent craftsmanship and reliable performance. It can accurately shoot targets at 400 meters with a 4x scope, and it can shoot targets at 1,000 meters with a 6x scope."
A total of four sniper rifles were seized in the Hutouling battle, one of which was the 98k, and the other three were Type 97 sniper rifles.
Zhao Gang took one Type 97 sniper rifle, and Wei Dayong had two more.
"No matter whether it's a domestic gun or a foreign gun, the one that can kill the Japanese is a good gun." Wei Dayong said, "After this battle is over, I will assign you an observer. If you have a suitable candidate, even if you are in another camp,
, I can also go and help you bring him over."
"Thank you, battalion commander!"
Wang Xikui looked at the sniper rifle in his arms and felt a little moved.
Wei Dayong smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me?"
Suddenly, Wei Dayong's expression changed, and he seemed to hear gunshots in his ears.
"Stop!"
After Wei Dayong gave the order, the entire team immediately stopped in place.
He listened for a while and realized that it was gunfire, and it seemed to be the sound of Japanese soldiers.
After stopping, many soldiers also heard gunshots.
