Chapter 702 Sniper Front

It seems that the siege for several months is not the way to completely encircle. The Greek army is a little negligent. Besides, the resistance for several consecutive months, even if it is heavy casualties and is surrounded by heavy artillery, did not make the Turks surrender. The Greeks did not expect the Turks to leave like this while night. Under the cover of the night, the defense change work was completed quickly. The 32 sentries were quickly stood up, not to let the sentries conduct dangerous searches, but to use telescopes and other things to monitor quietly.

Night vision infrared telescope has become a weapon. In fact, this should be the observer of the sharpshooter team, but it was placed here. This was beyond the expectations of the Turkish defenders and also made the entire city defense safer. Even under the cover of the night, no one could quietly enter the range of 1 kilometer around C.

The defenders of the Fortress of Ioanina withdrew, and a large area was empty above the city of Ioanina. Wang Erniu didn't care at all. He carefully observed everything on the bastion and ordered 150 snipers to enter various positions of the city defense, find sniper positions, and prepare to snipers at any time.

There have been sharpshooters since ancient times, and snipers are the best among sharpshooters. One bullet solves a war, which is not uncommon in the history of international wars. Compared with the scattered and backward human-sea tactics, snipers have a huge advantage in defense 1 combat.

Soon, the well-trained snipers found their respective positions. As the strongest among all snipers and the commander of the nominal sniper team, Wang Erniu stood at the highest point and used his broad vision to see all the surrounding 7 kilometers so that he could grasp and control the entire battle situation.

The Northwest and Turkey are not a big problem. Most of the Turkish army is trained by the Germans. Among the army, there are many people who know German. The Northwest Army is not small with Germany. The early instructors, including Jiang Baili, pay attention to German learning. Among the first 600 people, there were about 40 who know German. Choose German for communication and assist with some simple gestures, which is enough to ensure communication between the two sides.

After all this, it was already late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. The Balkans in early spring were warm and there was no noise. It seemed particularly quiet. Apart from leaving a few on-duty staff, together with the Turkish observation post, the rest were rested except for the Greeks' every move.

The sun was angry again. It was dawn, and Wang Erniu finished a simple battle meal. In fact, it was delicious compared to the Turks. Turkey did not have special soldiers to supply them. They either had dry food or ate whatever they did. They even went to some houses to eat, but this energy could not be guaranteed and they were wasted time.

The sharpshooters carried field supplies, a field meal that was only the size of a notebook and was one inch thick, which was enough to replenish all the calories and nutrients consumed. They could be heated and eaten in places where there was water. It was easy to carry, and the weight was not high, which was the best supply.

Just after eating, there was a wave of noise coming from the front. The post in charge of observing told Wang Erniu that there was movement in the Greek military camp. The Greek garrison still used the traditional method and was stationed 3 kilometers away. This was a adjustment made by confirming that Turkey had no artillery fire, otherwise they would be 7 kilometers away.

Judging from the movements of the other party, it is not like a feint attack once a day. According to the Turkish officers, the feint attacks in daily life are about one or two battalions and at most one regiment. However, according to the actions of the Greek side, when the sun just rose, it was already set off, and almost two divisions were troops, slowly approaching.

Wang Erniu was not satisfied with the city defense, so he just made a simple arrangement based on the bastion, without three-dimensional construction, a solid bastion, and strong resistance to artillery, which was once the mainstream of Europe, but was not suitable in modern warfare. He fixed the defenders' routines too much. As a defensive fortification in the old era, he had some gun positions, but no machine gun mouth and shooting mouth. The overall protection also had loopholes. If it were him, he would use this as a solid support, jump out, build earth drawing fortifications on the periphery, and then do a three-dimensional protection. This perfectly exerts the protection of the bastion and can also be flexible and changeable.

In Wang Erniu's eyes, this protective fortification did not even have barbed wire. Infantry could easily cross their protective area and directly attack the bastion, which was very unfavorable for protection.

The Greek army was approaching and was within a kilometer range. Before that, the Greek army might have been worried that Turkey would attack with artillery fire, but after more than a month of tug-of-war, they knew that not only had the troops lost, but the artillery was almost completely lost. In this case, they could attack with a swagger.

More than 150 snipers, each looking for a target. As early as the way to come, Greek military uniforms and senior commanders had been teleported to them. It was not difficult to find the marks of officers from the military uniforms that looked integrated. The Greeks were not gods, and they could not know that there were snipers waiting for them here, and for the convenience of command, the officers were still eye-catching.

With the help of this information, Wang Erniu clearly identified that when he entered the attack of the really idle Greek military officers, each of whom set a range, communicated with simple gestures, and tried to hit the starter. Most of the snipers found the target in a short period of time, mostly platoon-level or even ordinary non-commissioned officers. As the strongest sniper, Wang Erniu directly pointed his attention to the middle and senior officers. The troops of all countries are the same. When siege, the most senior who can go to the battle may be a battalion commander, a commander above the regiment commander, and they are basically commanding the battle in the bunker behind them.

After searching in the crowd for a long time, a target was finally locked by Wang Erniu, an officer who looked not tall and hidden in the crowd. The badge on his shoulders and orders issued from time to time exposed his identity. If there was no accident, he should be the battalion commander of an infantry battalion around, at least he was also the deputy battalion commander.

After the Greek army entered a 1-kilometer range, Greek artillery fire broke out, and the Fortress of Ioannina was further attacked. Hundreds of shells hit the city in a short time. Some broken walls and fortifications once again withstood the severe test. Rocks flew, and the smoke above the city was in chaos.

Since the Greek army began to attack, the Turkish post that had been placed on the top of the city to watch was removed. Wang Erniu gave them the order to wait for the order. The sharpshooters were basically full of left-key experience. The most important point of the sniper position they chose was safety. In siege operations, it would be bad if they were covered by a large caliber artillery. Not only did they enter a solid room, but if conditions permit, they would also strengthen part of the room to ensure their strength.

There was almost 3 minutes of artillery fire preparation, and the city was quiet and the Turkish artillery did not open fire. The Turkish officers at that time still had objections to this. However, with the help of Constantinople's orders and German support, they were ordered to obey the command of the front line in the northwest. However, it did not mean that the artillery could be idle. They would use the precise map to clearly calculate the shooting elements on the front line positions, and wait until the orders here are firing and strive to hit the starter.

The Greek army has no doubt that he has attacked for half a month. This city has been under tremendous pressure. It seems that it has reached its limit. Maybe today is a good time to take down this city. This attack was caused by the Greek side, and a batch of arms will be shipped to Turkey in the near future to make them wary of it.

Of course, the British got information from Iraq. The Middle East was a place where the British were strong. During the spy war a year ago, Germany and the Northwest jointly uprooted the British power in Basra. However, Iraq still has a lot of them. The Northwest transported arms to Turkey with almost no cover. Dozens of trains were transported day and night. Britain could suppress Germany, but there were not many ways to block the Basra port, and it could only raise the Balkan Alliance through channels.

The Balkan Alliance of course knew the seriousness of the matter. It was under the blockade of Britain, Russia and other countries that Turkey was defeated repeatedly in the Balkan War. As a powerful country, it was even suppressed by Greece with artillery fire. Once it got a large number of arms and armed soldiers, these three points were even more difficult to clear and they had to speed up.

The success ahead made the Greek soldiers very powerful. Waving the military flag, countless soldiers rushed up frantically, like a Greek storm, which looked very majestic.

The Swordsmen who had participated in the World War against Russia flashed a trace of disdain in their hearts, which was exactly the same as Russia. In terms of the speed and firmness of the impact, they were not as good as Russia's army, which made Turkey's solid city in danger. It can be seen that their strength is not very good. If they were arranged in the three-dimensional way in the northwest, they would probably take down the people who were piled up with one charge. The people who were piled up were simply not enough to sweep the machine guns. There was no need to have too many wire mesh and cross-arranged machine guns, but dozens of them were enough.

The Greek army, with its momentum astonishing as it was very fast. In 5 minutes, it spanned a range of 400 meters and was already close, less than 600 meters away from the city wall. Even the soldiers in the front could see the gap on C. There were no soldiers on the gap, and they should have been suppressed by their artillery fire, and victory was in front of them.

They didn't know that crisis and death were approaching. In just a few minutes, all the snipers chose their targets. A staff officer took out a strong signal. Three light sounds, and three red signal flares suddenly rose to the sky. The scarlet signal flares made the sky on one side look scary.
