Chapter 1368 Abandoned Fishing Village
Although the combat methods of snipers are very sharp, they are also very susceptible to the influence of the surrounding environment, especially when the weather is relatively bad, the role that snipers can play is no better than that of ordinary infantry.Moreover, due to the extremely limited number of snipers, this tactic is largely limited by personal status and on-the-spot performance. Even an old sniper like Morgan cannot guarantee that he will be the best in every battle. Can play the best personal level, not to mention these soldiers who have become monks and started to learn this technology halfway.
There are many mathematical calculations involved in sniper tactics, but for most soldiers who do not have sufficient cultural foundation, they can only act on the basis of experience after realizing it, and there is no way to convert it into a quantifiable digital standard. To a certain extent, it also limits their level improvement.If measured according to the strict standards set by Morgan for snipers, it can be said that among the existing Haihan snipers, more than [-]% of them just barely reached the passing line, far from being excellent.
However, for the army's combat level in this era, these snipers are basically capable of daily combat tasks.After all, in this era, only Haihan has this special unit. The Haihan sniper itself is the industry standard, and there is no one who can compare with it.
Not to mention to the outside world, even to a Haihan officer like Sun Bing, the sniper is still a strange and special existence.It was the first time for him to observe the combat methods of snipers at close range. For him personally, this was definitely a novelty that subverted his concept of war.
When Sun Bing came into contact with the navy's strong ships and guns after joining the army, he thought that this was probably the ultimate form of warfare, and that there should be no more powerful weapon in the world.But when he saw the combat methods of the sniper soldiers today, he immediately realized how powerful they were, and naturally he had to learn more about them.
Taking advantage of the temporary cessation of activities of the Houjin army, the Marine Corps transported two small-caliber cannons from the ship to the fishing village, and deployed them in the direction facing the Houjin stronghold facing north.Sun Bing knew that the Jin army would definitely come again in the future, and if he only relied on these light weapons at hand, he might not be able to stop the enemy's cavalry charge, and he still needed heavy weapons to suppress the formation.These two guns were not borrowed from the Army, but field guns specially equipped by the Navy for the Marine Corps. Of course, the model is exactly the same as that of the Army.
Because of the limited force, Sun Bing could not take the risk to lead the marines to continue advancing inland. Without the cover of cavalry, he would easily be cut off by the enemy.He could only hope that the Hou Jin army would appear as soon as possible, and then take the initiative to launch a wave of attacks on his fishing village.Only through fighting can he create a state where the Haihan army is desperate to occupy this place.The purpose of letting the snipers shoot the Golden Reconnaissance Cavalry to prevent the opponent from further reconnaissance was also to make the opponent feel more uneasy, so that they could take larger-scale actions against the marines who landed here.
But not only Sun Bing, but even the fleet commander Wang Tom didn't expect that their opponents would combine the miraculous performance of the Haihan snipers with the miserable record of the Hou Jin army in Lushunkou, and conceived a kind of An individual weapon that even Haihan couldn't make.Due to fear of this kind of weapon, the time for the Hou Jin army to send troops again was delayed for half a day. It was not until the sky began to darken that the marines stationed in the abandoned fishing village finally discovered the Hou Jin army that appeared in the distant wilderness. military.
After the comeback, the Jin army was still dominated by cavalry, and there were hundreds of infantry behind the cavalry following in step.Sun Bing observed through the binoculars and found that many of the opponent's infantry were carrying bows and arrows. It seemed that this posture was intended to use the cavalry to harass the outskirts of the village, and the archers waited for the opportunity to approach and then launched an attack.Most of the houses in this fishing village have no roofs, and the walls are just ruins. If a large number of archers launch from a long distance, it is indeed difficult to completely escape.In addition, the Haihan army did not have shields and other armor equipment. If the opponent was allowed to launch an offensive, casualties would inevitably occur.
Although the attacking enemy army was several times stronger than the Marine Corps, Sun Bing was not panicked by the situation. Although the Houjin Army's cavalry and archery skills were formidable, the range of their bows and arrows was definitely not as good as that of their own muskets. It is not difficult to go beyond the range of the bow and arrow. What needs to be paid attention to is that the rear golden cavalry should not let all their firepower be diverted away, leaving an opportunity for the opponent's archers to take advantage of.But with the powerful weapon of the sniper, Sun Bing thought that he could completely free up his hands and teach the opponent a lesson.
"You deal with the archers behind, and my men deal with the cavalry." Sun Bing immediately arranged the division of labor.
The sniper responded: "Company Commander Sun, we have limited ammunition, but we can't kill all the archers."
"You don't have to kill them all, just like you did when you fought the cavalry before, it's enough to put enough pressure on them. First find out their commanders and kill them, and the rest will be easy." Sun Bing had already thought about it. Routine, he replied immediately.
To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and capture a thief first, this tactical thinking is very suitable for snipers, and Sun Bing also realized this in a very short period of time.The reason for leaving the archers to the snipers is that the archers will definitely stay farther than the cavalry, and the hit rate of ordinary rifles at this distance is far lower than that of sniper rifles; The movement of the hand is relatively slow, and the hit rate of sniping such a target is definitely much easier than shooting cavalry in motion.
The cavalry of the Houjin Army cautiously cruised back and forth for a long time one mile away. Presumably, they were also very wary of the weapons in the Haihan formation that could accurately kill long-distance targets.But this time Sun Bing specifically asked the snipers not to shoot, and planned to bring the cavalry closer before attacking.
Both sides showed excellent patience in this confrontation. The Golden Cavalry did not rush forward, and the marines in the fishing village had been lurking quietly. The lines of the two sides were more than a mile apart. The distance seemed to be waiting for the other party to reveal its flaws first.
Sun Bing had a very clear judgment on the situation of the two sides. He knew that as long as the supply continued, he could wait indefinitely, but the other party could not. It is absolutely impossible for them to tolerate the long-term existence of this nail, and they still have to try to remove it in order to feel at ease.Therefore, it is inevitable for the Hou Jin army to take the initiative to attack, but it is only a matter of time.
After dawdling for about an hour, Hou Jinjun finally couldn't bear his temper, and the cavalry took the lead in pressing towards the fishing village.However, it was probably the battle experience at Lushunkou that made them vigilant, and instead of launching a direct charge recklessly, they carefully divided into several teams, and slowly formed an arc to encircle them. Disperse the firepower of the Haihan army as much as possible.
It has to be said that this approach of the Houjin army is extremely clever. They knew that they were too far behind in terms of weapons, and the traditional charge-style combat seemed to be of no use to Haihan, so they quickly changed their strategy and sent the intensive The assault formation turned into a scattered encirclement. Only in this way can the Haihan army, which is not superior in strength, be unable to concentrate its firepower, so that it may have a chance to break through the firepower net.
But the problem with Houjin is that they have too little military information. Although they have fought against Haihan several times before, they are still in the cloud about the strength of this opponent. Dismantling moves, and did not master the tactics that can really restrain the Haihan army.The tactic of distributing the firepower of the Haihan army by spreading out the formation is indeed good, but it can only be effective when the combat power of the two sides is relatively close. However, the current strength gap between the two sides is no longer dependent on this tactic. can make up for it.
The Hou Jin cavalry began to accelerate their charge when they were about a hundred feet away from the fishing village, and encircled them from the east, north, and west directions at the same time.What greeted them was a volley of guns from the village. Although limited by the terrain, the Haihan army could no longer form a neat line to shoot at the target, but the intensity of the firepower output was not greatly affected.Sun Bing deployed a platoon of troops in each of the three directions. Gunshots and the commander's copper whistle sounded one after another in the fishing village. Although the rear golden cavalry was scattered in formation, it was inevitable that some unlucky ghosts who were shot and fell off their horses appeared.
However, this kind of loss is still within the tolerance range of the Houjin army. The pace of the Houjin cavalry charge did not stop there. It was only when they rushed closer that they discovered that all the passages that could allow the cavalry to enter the village were blocked Artificially set up obstacles, it is very difficult to rush directly into the village.
A few of the riders did not believe in evil, and relying on their good riding skills, they still jumped over the obstacle, but just as they landed, they heard gunshots nearby, and were immediately shot down by the Haihan soldiers guarding the side. up.Afterwards, the cavalry realized that there was still an ambush in the village, so Dang even gave up his plan to rush in, pulled the reins, and turned around to outflank the south coast.Even if they can't rush into the village, it would be good to cut off the connection between this fishing village and the Haihan Fleet.
But they still underestimated the strength of Haihan lurking in the fishing village. In addition to the company led by Sun Bing, there was another company of marines deployed to the south of the village, specially used to protect the back road leading to the sea.These post-golden cavalry who tried to cut off the access to the south of the village inevitably suffered another wave of blows at the entrance of the village.
While the cavalry was pressing forward to attack, the infantry behind them also quickly approached the village, but before they had time to deploy their formations to attack with bows and arrows, Niu Luezhen, who was in charge of commanding these archers, had already been sniped by Haihan Soldiers roll call.The unlucky ghost was shot in the chest, and he died before he fell from the horse to the ground.
Although his deputy immediately tried to take over the command and continue to implement the original combat plan, his luck was no better than his predecessor's. He was shot and fell in front of his subordinates, seeing that he was dying.
After losing two commanders one after another, the Houjin infantry's line quickly became chaotic. Some wanted to send the commander to the rear for rescue, while others believed that the battle situation should be the most important thing and continue to attack the Haihan people in the fishing village.This kind of disagreement before the battle is undoubtedly extremely fatal. After all, the battle opportunity is fleeting. When they were unable to argue, the cavalry in front had already been frustrated. The first round of offensive did not cause any trouble to the Haihan army stationed in the village.
The only two snipers in the village continued to shoot at a steady speed to kill the Houjin infantry in the opponent's formation who were trying to attack with bows and arrows.Although their shooting frequency is not too high, they still maintain a high hit rate at a distance of about 300 meters, and they have already shot more than a dozen people in a short time.
More and more post-gold infantry found that people around them fell into a pool of blood for no apparent reason, knowing that this might be a trick of the Haihan people, and the life and death of the commanders were unknown, so the timid ones started to go They retreated, and after the courageous ones hastily fired one or two arrows in the direction of the fishing village, they also quickly retreated.Under such circumstances, there is no other way to stay on the front line than to become a living target. Although the Hou Jin army fought fiercely, they were not so stupid that they would die in vain. Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the village, the sky was already dark Coming down is extremely unfavorable to the attacker in the wilderness, so he naturally chose to retreat.
The rear golden cavalry found that the infantry behind did not keep up with the rhythm of the attack. Instead, they chose to retreat. They did not dare to continue to fight, and soon left the battlefield on their own initiative.In order to be on the safe side, Sun Bing did not order the pursuit, so he watched the Hou Jin army withdraw to the north in the dark.
Since the sky was getting dark, Sun Bing did not intend to let the soldiers go out overnight to clean up the battlefield, and it was difficult to count the actual battle results at the moment.Since the Marine Corps was hiding in the village, the enemy army only bluffed on the outside, so only a few people were slightly injured during the battle, which was a smaller loss than expected.The two cannons used to suppress the field, the enemy army retreated before firing a single shot, and the battle was relatively easy.
Sun Bing was worried that the enemy might launch a night attack, so he ordered people to light several fires outside the village so that the sentries could observe the situation outside the village at night.This approach is also learned from the army, and it is a relatively simple and practical night defense measure.
After dawn the next day, Sun Bingcai ordered the soldiers to go out of the village to clean up the battlefield and count the results of yesterday's battle.Although the Houjin army had already taken away some of the wounded and corpses when they evacuated, the Marine Corps still found more than [-] enemy corpses in the field around the village. The actual battle result must be much larger than this number. .Although this cannot be compared with the results achieved by the Special Operations Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion at Lushunkou, considering that the mission performed by the Marine Corps here is only a feint attack rather than a strong attack, such a record is considered qualified.
