Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

On the Japanese positions.

The Japanese captain was observing the enemy situation with a Type 93 4x binocular.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a bullet struck his head.

The Japanese captain was thrown backward by the immense force, his binoculars flying off his hands as he fell backward.

"Squad Leader!"

The squadron adjutant next to him shouted and quickly bent down to check the situation.

When his gaze fell on the other person, he found that there were no injuries.

However, there was a hole in its head.

When the "squadron adjutant" turned the captain's body over, he found that there was a hole the size of an egg that had been blown open at the back of his head.

The captain was killed instantly.

"With such power, it's definitely a 7.62mm full-power round!"

The squadron adjutant frowned.

The 6.5mm Arisaka bullets used by the Japanese army had long, thin bullets with very stable spin.

Many people can continue to move after being shot, and even those hit in the head can survive for a short time.

However, the 7.62mm full-power round has a very high energy retention.

Because the bullet is short and thick, its stability is generally poor. After hitting a human body, it will become unstable and tumble, thus creating a huge cavity.

This results in a small entry point and a huge exit point, leading to severe tissue fragmentation. If the head is hit, the brainstem will be destroyed instantly, leaving no chance of rescue.

During the Russo-Japanese War, many members of the Japanese Imperial Army died from these kinds of bullets.

Even today in Northeast China, members of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army are using Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles to attack the Japanese army!

The squadron adjutant gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Red Russia, damn the Eighth Route Army, our great Japanese army will wipe you out sooner or later!"

In his view, these Mosin-Nagant rifles must have been provided by the Soviet Union.

As for the SVD, that was a weapon from decades later, and none of the Japanese soldiers knew about it.

The squadron adjutant frowned and said, "We need to find a squad leader to take over this squadron!"

The adjutant position only extends to the brigade level at most; his title of "company adjutant" was actually a joke.

He was merely a second lieutenant assisting the company commander. Although he could issue orders and write reports on behalf of the company commander, he was not qualified to succeed the company commander.

……

the other side.

"Hit!"

After confirming that he had hit the target, Zou Yun immediately retreated and left the area.

As a sharpshooter, he naturally knew to fire one shot and then move to another.

If we remain in this place for an extended period, it will inevitably invite fierce retaliation from the enemy.

After all, his gun is quite loud, and firing it would reveal his position.

He moved to a higher position, lay prone on the ground, and continued to observe the enemy troops on the opposite position through the scope.

"Um?"

Soon, Zou Yun saw a Japanese soldier, also carrying a rifle equipped with a scope.

Clearly, he was one of the few snipers in the Japanese army.

With a single shot from the enemy, one of our Eighth Route Army soldiers was wounded.

"You little devil, you're asking for it!"

A cold glint flashed in Zou Yun's eyes as he aimed his gun at the Japanese sniper.

"Bang!"

As the trigger was pulled, the Japanese sniper was also hit directly in the head by the bullet and died instantly.

"As expected of a sniper rifle!"

As Zou Yun quietly retreated, he remarked with a sigh, "With this sniper rifle, killing the enemy will be much more accurate!"

Besides Zou Yun, other sharpshooters on the battlefield were also in action.

Their targets were all the officers and machine gunners on the Japanese positions.

Attacking officers can paralyze Japanese command, while killing machine gunners can weaken Japanese firepower.

Although the Independent Regiment only had 11 SVD rifles, this sniper rifle, which was decades later, still had a great impact on the Japanese army.

As Japanese officers and machine gunners were killed one after another, the Japanese positions became increasingly chaotic.

……

At this moment, Deputy Regiment Commander Huang is observing from the Independent Regiment's forward command post, holding binoculars.

At the same time, he also used a walkie-talkie to inform Regiment Commander Yang, Chief of Staff Xiong, and others of the Independent Regiment about what he had observed.

"The sniper rifles that Commander Nie got for us are truly effective!"

Upon hearing the report, Commander Yang immediately ordered, "Have the assault teams don bulletproof vests and carry bulletproof shields. Mortars and machine guns will provide suppressive fire. As soon as the shelling ends, begin the assault and strive to take down the first line of Japanese defense!"

After the order was given, the machine guns on the Independent Regiment's position immediately began firing wildly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The mortars, which had been used sparingly before, roared at this moment.

In this attack, their independent regiment concentrated a total of 30 82mm mortars and 75 60mm mortars to bombard the Japanese front-line positions.

If it weren't for the mortars that Deputy Regiment Commander Huang brought back this time, they wouldn't have been able to gather so many mortars.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

These are all indirect fire cannons, whose shells can land directly at the bottom of the trench, unlike ordinary artillery which only hits the edge of the trench.

In an instant, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches suffered heavy casualties, with screams echoing throughout.

Especially with 82mm mortar shells, when they land in trenches, the shockwave and fragments can sweep across a ten-meter stretch of trench.

Only bomb shelters or foxholes with wooden beams and earthen roofs could reduce casualties.

These mortars did not cover all the trenches; they mainly attacked trench intersections, machine gun positions, ammunition depots, and entrances/exits.

After firing a few rapid shots, the mortar immediately moved to avoid being counterattacked by the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns.

"Drip-drop! Drip-drop! Drip-drop!"

The artillery fire had just ended when the bugle call to charge resounded.

"Comrades, charge with me!"

"Kill them!"

"Let's kill the Japanese devils!"

"..."

At the same time, Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing bulletproof vests, led by grassroots cadres, launched an attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese front-line positions had just suffered heavy casualties under intense artillery fire.

The surviving Japanese soldiers began to run out of the hiding place and launched an attack on the charging Eighth Route Army.

"Aim for their legs! Their legs!"

The surviving Japanese officers, upon seeing the bulletproof vests worn by the Eighth Route Army soldiers and the bulletproof shields they held, began to issue orders.

After experiencing repeated assaults by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army learned that the Eighth Route Army possessed mysterious protective gear that could withstand bullets and even heavy machine gun fire.

However, they have not yet captured any of these protective gear.

"Clap clap clap!"

As a result, the surviving Japanese soldiers immediately began to aim their guns at the legs of the charging Eighth Route Army soldiers.

However, the legs are smaller targets than the upper body, and when charging, the legs are constantly alternating forward, making them even more difficult to hit.
