Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Each squad leader ordered their squad's snipers to assemble at the front.

These guys were all known as sharpshooters before they went to war. Now it's finally your turn to go to the battlefield, so don't embarrass me.

Wang Liqiang was one of them. He jumped off the truck, waved to his brothers behind him, and then rushed up with several snipers. When they were still more than 200 meters away from the city wall, the officer signaled them to each do their part.

There are no observers in the sniper squad. You can only observe and attack one sniper per squad. If you were to be assigned an observer, then there probably wouldn't be enough people in an infantry squad.

“Two people are coming over. There should be at least four or five people to the left at the eleven o’clock position. Don’t make any big movements, be careful.”

Wang Liqiang had very sharp eyes and immediately spotted several Japanese soldiers moving up and down behind a city wall. He couldn't possibly kill them all; if he could just take out one of them, the remaining Japanese soldiers might have to move to another location.

Several snipers who hadn't found their target immediately rolled over from nearby, bringing four sniper rifles with them, all aiming at the location Wang Liqiang had mentioned.

"Follow my orders..."

The temporary sniper team was thus formed, and the people who came later had no objections. That's how it is on the battlefield. If you come from elsewhere to provide support and don't know much about the situation here, then you have to follow the orders of the people who came first.

"beat."

When all four men were exposed at the same time, Wang Liqiang gave the order, and the four snipers from left to right fired simultaneously.

Three Japanese soldiers died on the spot, and the third one, because he was lying down, probably just brushed past his head, but he was definitely injured as well.

“I’ll keep an eye on this guy. You guys go somewhere else.”

There's a whole regiment of brothers waiting to charge from behind. We're afraid the remaining soldiers on the city wall will jump down with explosives strapped to them, so we can't afford to delay.

Four snipers were targeting one Japanese soldier. Why was that soldier so precious? Did he even deserve it?

So Wang Liqiang sent the other three men elsewhere while he continued to keep an eye on the wounded Japanese soldier. Judging from the current situation, the guy couldn't have gone far after being injured.

"I'll do it. What's the direction?"

Less than two minutes after the three snipers left, a mortar team came from behind, two men carrying a 60mm mortar, and they had already started digging a hole next to them.

"Fire a couple more shots from the left at the eleven o'clock position. I don't know where that guy went. Compared to your sniper rifle, ours is still more effective."

Wang Liqiang quickly reported the location and then used his scope to observe the area. If the guy showed himself during this time, one bullet would take him out.

In less than three minutes, the mortar was fully loaded. A soldier next to him opened his small box, which contained eight shells. As Wang Liqiang had said, four of the shells had already been fired.

"Half of a body exploded, but I don't know if it was the one that just died or the one that was still alive."

Wang Liqiang saw it clearly: after four shells hit, half of the corpse was blown up. With such explosive power, if there hadn't been a particularly sturdy cover on the city wall, the body would definitely have been killed by now.

"Fire two more shots."

The mortar commander was also a cautious man. He had just heard from Commander Liu's men that they absolutely could not let any soldiers live, especially those on our high ground. If they came down from the ground, we could fire at them with our submachine guns, but if they were on our high ground, these guys could just jump down with explosives on their backs, causing us considerable losses. The dozen or so tanks of the Qingzhou Garrison Regiment were destroyed by them in this way.

These are just a few mortar shells, nothing to us right now. But if we lose our tanks and armored vehicles later, we'll be crying our eyes out. Those are big shots.

It took nearly half an hour to clear the Japanese troops from the city wall until no one could be seen showing their faces.

However, having learned from their mistake, a small infantry squad charged up from both sides, forming a combat team of three, with one covering the other two as they advanced – their tactical movements were very standard.

They slowly began to climb the city wall. More than thirty snipers were ready in the distance, and they would fire as soon as someone showed their head.

Twelve 60mm mortars are ready. If a sniper rifle can't kill someone, our artillery shells will be there in an instant, leaving no chance for the Japanese to survive.

"Report to the commander: No living people have been found."

The squad that reached the top of the city wall didn't stop there either. They immediately started firing their submachine guns. We didn't have time to search each one individually, so a burst of bullets was the ultimate test for identifying corpses.

After the small detachment on the city wall gave the signal, more than twenty tanks lined up in a single column and slowly began to enter the city. City walls are basically still present in major cities in China today. Although city walls are not very effective against artillery, artillery was very scarce in China's various armies at that time, so city walls still played a significant role.

After entering the southern part of the city, the two security regiments split into two groups: one to attack the heavily guarded city hall and the other to attack the train station.

"You will be temporarily assigned to the advance team and will follow me forward."

After entering the city, Wang Liqiang was planning to wait for his old unit, but he was called by an officer of the advance team near the city gate. He immediately left a note for the personnel left behind so that the squad leader wouldn't be unable to find him. Before he could even put his pen away, he got into the car with the advance team.

Everyone knows that the advance team encountered more Japanese soldiers and killed more enemies. When evaluating combat merits within the 72nd Army, the number of enemy kills was a very important statistic.

Among the security forces of Wulian County, Wang Liqiang's marksmanship is second to none. Now that he has such an opportunity, if he doesn't seize it, it would be a waste of God's favor.

The advance team soldiers did not travel by car or armored vehicle, but instead slowly advanced on foot.

The main reason was that there were too many suicide soldiers in the Isogai Division, and the situation on the buildings on both sides was unclear. Commander Song adopted a relatively conservative strategy: our tanks and armored vehicles followed behind, but the soldiers had to scout out the surrounding area within 50 meters in front.

If there were no civilians in the city, it would be much easier; we could just push through. But the problem is that none of the civilians have escaped, so we have to be careful.
