Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 20: The puppet army is really loyal
After the company unexpectedly killed a small half of the Japanese cavalry, they thought the Japanese would give up.

However, the company commander did not expect that the Japanese would still want to counterattack under such circumstances.

"Captain, Ergouzi is coming up!" the sentry suddenly shouted.

"What do they want to do?" The company commander was a little confused.

Could it be that they are an elite force, and they want to storm the position with only a dozen soldiers? This is too much of a bully.

"Comrades, be ready, fight close, and try to knock down half of them with one round of fire!" ordered the company commander.

The soldiers of the first company did not answer, but silently opened the safety and pointed their guns at the approaching puppet troops.

When the puppet troops approached within 100 meters, the company commander immediately shouted, "Shoot!"

"Thump, thump, thump." "Thump, thump, thump."
“Snap!~”

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!" After just a few shots, the company commander shouted to stop.

He clearly saw blood gushing out of the bodies of these puppet soldiers, which meant that they were all shot.

Now the company commander is completely confused. No matter whether it is a 7.9mm or 6.5mm bullet, as long as it hits the person, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness.

Even if the penetrating wound caused by the Japanese Type 38 rifle at close range, it still needs to be bandaged before it can restore some combat effectiveness. The penetrating wound can only recover a little faster.

But what are these idiots planning? Are they going to rush up and take the bullets in the head?

Just when the company commander was puzzled, he suddenly heard an explosion in his ears.

"boom!"

"Oh no, it's a grenade launcher!" The company commander reacted immediately.

When the Japanese were conducting fire reconnaissance just now, they fired a lot of grenade launchers, so the New Second Regiment was already familiar with the sound of the explosion.

"How's the light machine gun?" the company commander asked hurriedly.

Although the New 2nd Regiment seized several light machine guns in the ambush two days ago, if they were divided equally among the battalions, each would only get machine guns. After all, they were fighting against the baggage train, and their equipment was much worse than that of the front-line troops.

Although the first company was allocated an extra light machine gun because of its earlier number, it became a company with two light machine guns.

But this does not mean that I can lose it so easily.

"Company commander, it's okay. The light machine guns have been moved as requested by the regiment commander." A communicator nearby said after checking the situation.

As early as after the first ambush and seizure of the light machine gun, Chen Chengxing had told the light machine gun crew that they must make frequent transfers when facing the Japanese.

The Japanese grenade launchers are fast and accurate.

On the front battlefield, the Guo army suffered a lot of losses. As long as the machine gun fire point dared not move, a grenade would fall within a minute.

Without the firepower output of all machine guns, this large front line would collapse immediately.

The New Second Regiment cannot afford to suffer such a loss. Although frequent transfers will lead to a weakening of firepower output, it is better than being destroyed.

The company commander breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the light machine gun had been moved.

"The damn Japanese are so insidious. They used Ergouzi's life to test the firepower point." The company commander said gritting his teeth.

Now the company commander has figured out why those puppet troops attacked so rashly. They were simply risking their lives to create opportunities for the Japanese.

This is so loyal!

The Japanese cavalry squad leader ordered a grenade launcher to fire several more grenades at the hilltop position and decided to launch a surprise attack. According to the time, the first squad should have reached the flank of the enemy position. "Light machine gun! Kill the chicken!" The Japanese cavalry squad leader drew out his command knife and shouted.

The two accompanying light machine guns immediately suppressed the company's hilltop positions with firepower to cover the infantry's charge.

"Taoci, here you go!"

The Japanese cavalry launched an attack on the hilltop position in a skirmish line.

"Shoot!" When the Japanese approached, the company commander immediately ordered his troops to shoot, and at the same time asked the soldiers to attack with more grenades.

Judging from the Japanese's tactical actions alone, this is an elite force, which is very different from the previous Japanese baggage train. Although the Japanese baggage train's escort team is also trained soldiers, they are still far behind the front-line field troops.

"Thump, thump, thump." "Thump, thump, thump."
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, gunshots were suddenly heard from the flank of the hilltop position.

"Captain, it's bad, the Japs are approaching from the side!"

"Damn, the Japs are really not made of mud." The company commander shouted, "Lao Qin, where is your machine gun? Take it out and plug the hole on the flank!"

"Don't worry, Lao Cao." Guard platoon leader Qin Sheng said.

"You guys! Follow me!" Qin Sheng waved his hand and headed straight for the flank with four submachine guns.

Qin Sheng knew from the gunshots that there were only a dozen people on the opposite side. Four machine guns were enough to suppress them. The other four would be left in the front to prevent any accidents.

When Qin Sheng reached the left wing, the Japanese sneak attack team was less than 20 meters away from the position, and they could break into the position with another charge.

"Hit them hard!" Qin Sheng ordered to open fire directly.

At close range, the submachine gun is a dimensionality reduction blow to the bolt-action rifle.

The dense firepower immediately made Kitano's small team unable to raise their heads. After just 2 minutes, the cross-fire of 5 submachine guns killed the dozen or so Japanese devils.

"This machine gun is really useful." Qin Sheng said with satisfaction as he looked at the Japanese corpses on the ground.

"How many bullets are left in the gun?" Qin Sheng asked.

Although they also seized some 11mm bullets in the subsequent basic ambush, it was still not enough to fill a magazine for each submachine gun. After all, there were several Jin-made large-eye box cannons in the regiment that needed bullets.

"Gone."

"Me too."

The four soldiers all said that they had no bullets left. This thing would fire two or three bullets at a time when the trigger was pulled, and they couldn't stop it at all.

"What?! All gone?! You prodigal sons! Why don't you save more?" Qin Sheng was almost jumping up and down.

No matter how useful a machine gun is, without bullets it is no better than a fire stick.

"Platoon leader, we have to have a conscience. You were the one who shouted the loudest just now, but now you blame us." The soldier complained.

Just now, Qin Sheng kept shouting: Hit there! Hit that side! And there too!
Now that the fight is over, I feel the pain.

Qin Sheng was choked by the soldiers' complaints and was speechless.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first. We'll find a way to deal with the bullets later." Qin Sheng said helplessly.

Qin Sheng never thought that this would be the only battle he would use these submachine guns in his hands.

After arriving at the base, Chen Chengxing waved his hand and directly assigned these submachine guns to the guerrillas.

Qin Sheng almost cried on the spot.
