under fire

Chapter 1119
Staff Officer Wei pointed to the enemy's posture made of stones and thatch on the ground: "From the perspective of the terrain, the devils have taken the lead at present. The terrain of the valley is open, the ridges on both sides are not high, and the mountains are not too steep. There is hope.

In terms of military strength, there are only about 200 devils in pursuit, and it is impossible for him to achieve encirclement on all sides.

The devil's forces are either concentrated in the south of the valley or in the north of the valley. After the devil's forces are dispersed, our current force is a company, which is equivalent to the force of the devils on any side.

From the point of view of firepower, we have automatic weapons, machine guns we are no less than devils, and our firepower is superior.

But the devils are on the defensive side, which is not good for our side to break through. "

The deputy chief of staff nodded: "Actually, although we are disadvantaged in breaking through, the little devil's offense is also disadvantaged. Neither side has time to establish a position, so the difference between offense and defense is not that big. One thing to note, although this area is not Occupied area, but we still have to guard against possible reinforcements from the devils!"

"Could it be that the devils launched a siege on us when the reinforcements arrived?" Another staff officer asked suddenly.

"We can't take it for granted. We suddenly turned to the south, and the devils can only follow us. Even if there are devils in the south, they will definitely participate in the battle to besiege Li Tietou."

"It is impossible for the devil to arrange too many people on the mountain ridge. As long as the entire company is concentrated and breaks out in any direction on both sides, there is a chance!" The staff officer still insisted on his opinion.

"If a company of our best-equipped guard battalion can't handle half a squadron of devils, what's the use of us standing out?" The deputy chief of staff looked up at the sky: "Order, try to attack south, follow To launch a wave of fierce attacks on the blocking devils, it is best to stand out, even if you can't make it out, you have to find out the devils' troops and firepower layout!"

The platoon leader who received the mission took the binoculars given to him by Zhang Weimin, and visually checked the enemy's blocking position.

400 meters away,
The valley is about 200 meters wide, low in the middle and high on both sides.

There are few shrubs and many rocks in the valley, and the terrain is not complicated.

Whether attacking or defending, you can easily find cover.

As long as the troops are strong enough and the firepower is strong, it shouldn't be too difficult to attack.

The devil hid in a slightly higher place on both sides of the valley.

Attacking from a low place can only be used as a target.

Since the two sides have equal strength, create chaos.

As a result, the tentative attack turned into a fire and smoke.

At this time, the south wind blowing in the mountains, logically speaking, if you smoke, you have to smoke yourself.

More than a dozen staff officers commanded a company-level battle. If they were still defeated, they would have to lose face to Xing'an Mountains!
Seeing the thick smoke billowing in the valley, Lieutenant Guizi's expression changed drastically: "Strengthen the position immediately, they want to break through the encirclement head-on!"

The thick smoke went all the way to the north, indicating that this group of soldiers was worried about being attacked on both sides, and the legendary ones would die and survive!
The retired ghost lieutenant has not bad experience, but this time he miscalculated.

Because the advance team left, his troops were not many.

Only a small team was deployed on the front, less than the strength.

Instead, two teams were deployed in the valley!
And the lieutenant is now north of the valley!
When the national army encountered the imperial army, they usually retreated and then retreated. This time, they dared to charge forward?
The lieutenant knew very well that the team that had circled to the front to stop the attack quickly advanced, and their physical strength had already been exhausted, and it was very likely that they would not be able to stop the national army that broke through.

This time when we entered the mountain to sweep, I thought it was just a simple massacre, so most people didn't wear gas masks!

It's not that I didn't bring it, the empire's supplies are tight, and the guard team is simply not equipped!
The second lieutenant in charge of blocking the attack did not expect that the national army would attack by force as soon as they came up.

The valley is densely covered with rocks, and there are bunkers everywhere.

Opportunities are almost equal for both offense and defense.

Rifle shooting is almost useless, they are old fritters on the battlefield, who doesn't understand the thing of changing places with one shot?

The distance between the two sides kept getting closer, and when they passed about 30 meters, the power of grenades and grenades began to play.

Where guns are fired, bombs follow.

No matter how high the shooting level is, it's useless, you have to get a grenade for every shot.

The same is true for the attacking side, it is completely one-on-one fighting casualties!
Whoever has more people will take advantage!

After more than [-] casualties on both sides, the situation on the battlefield has tilted towards the side that breaks out!

The opponent had automatic weapons, and there were so many people, several devils were directly hit by submachine guns before they could throw out the grenades.

The deputy chief of staff's judgment is very accurate, there are indeed not many devils!
Zhang Weimin was trembling in his heart. Fifteen people were killed and nine were injured.

On the battlefield, it is rare for soldiers to be killed in battle and more injured than injured.

There is no way, the space between the rocks is narrow.

Watching the grenade thrown by the devil, there is no way to dodge it.

It's a life-for-life ending.

The ghosts on the mountain ridge kept shooting, but unfortunately the distance was too far.

A dozen rifle shots didn't do much at all.

In the valley, the sound of bayonet puffing continued.

Occasionally, there were ghosts and wounded soldiers who blew up explosions that died with the soldiers who came to clean the battlefield.
There was no time to deal with the bodies of the dead brothers. The soldiers tore off the identity strips sewn on the uniforms of the brothers who had been talking and laughing with them 10 minutes ago, took away guns and ammunition, and emptied everything on the dead brothers.

The team headed south quickly.

After half an hour.

The trailing ghost team finally passed through the billowing smoke.

The fire on the ground in the valley was still smoking.

The ghost lieutenant, who was coughing desperately, had a dark face.

Where are the figures of those fleeing soldiers.

Among the chaotic rocks, the bodies of his warriors are everywhere.

Unfortunately, they can no longer salute themselves.

The sergeant who came down from the mountain ridge did not dare to go forward, he knew that the lieutenant was in a bad mood now.

Devil raids always have a purpose.

Some for food, some for eight roads.

The purpose of the lieutenant of the guard force is different from that of many devils. He is for money.

Veterans are also very different from recruits.

Devil recruits are likely to be loyal to the empire just for a slogan.

Veterans are different. They are used to seeing life and death, and they no longer believe in those lies.

The greatest expectation actually comes from the letters from home across the ocean.

The goal is the direction of their life.

For the lieutenant, the gang of soldiers was not caught.

The purpose of entering the mountain was not achieved, and the lieutenant was very depressed.

The house needs money to be renovated.

It has been eight years since I left, and a letter from my family said that my wife gave me another son.

It seems that we will need to prepare another house in the future, and we will also need money.

You need money to go to the comfort station, and you need money to take your subordinates out to drink.

The girl in the Jinma embroidery building in the county town is doing well and asking for more money.

I have always wanted to buy a better telescope, but it also requires money.

If you have no money, get together with a group of old friends and drink some sake, and if you even give less money to the geisha, you will be laughed at.

Now that the money is gone, what are you waiting for?
keep chasing
　I used to think that the devils were powerful in combat, but in fact they were not all.

　　In the later period, the mentality of the devil's grassroots officers has changed significantly.
