Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 73 Questions
The seventh company was replaced by the second company.

In fact, it was not a "change", but a new line of defense was built behind the second company's defense line, and then the second company retreated as planned to give up the position to the devils, and the seventh company also ran up against the devils.

The soldiers of the second company who retreated were covered with blood and dust, and the company commander was no exception. He had a bandage on his left shoulder, and in his right hand he held a box cannon with the nose of the machine opened. The wounded wolf is always on guard, and once attacked, it jumps up and gives a couple of bites.

The soldiers he brought were similar, and all of them were full of murderous intent.

This is actually a soldier who has just come down from the battlefield. They have not completely come out of the state of life and death.

The recruits don't say that they will be afraid when they see the devil, just seeing the second company commander's appearance will make his heart "squeak" for a while.

The Second Company didn't have much to say, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wu Lei, saying, "This is the layout of the bullet mine ahead!"

Wu Lei took the paper and glanced at it, nodded and said, "Let me leave the rest!"

The second company commander sighed a little unwillingly, waved his hand and led the soldiers back, and after taking a few steps, he turned back and shouted at Wu Lei: "Old Wu, kill a few more devils for me, come back and invite you to drink!"

"No problem!" Wu Lei replied simply: "Don't worry, I will avenge my comrades. This time I won't go back if I don't take away all the devils. Then you can just spill the wine on my grave!"

The second company commander's tears came down in a flash, and he secretly wiped away his tears while withdrawing.

It was only later that Wang Xuexin found out that there were originally more than 150 people in the Erlian Company, but after this battle, there were only about [-] left.

More than 100 soldiers, who were chatting and laughing not long ago, were all gone in the blink of an eye, and it made everyone feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhou Ping, who was in a hurry to go to the front line, became nervous instead.

He looked in the direction of the company commander and asked Wang Xuexin, who was lying a few meters away: "Platoon commander, why didn't the company commander explain the location of the bullet mine?"

Wang Xuexin frowned and replied, "Let's wait for the devils to attack. If the devils all attack, they must be bombed all the way. When we counterattack, we should pay attention to the bullets and mines?"

Zhou Ping made an "oh" sound, and stopped talking.

As a result, Chen Hao on the other side asked nervously: "Platoon leader, if the devil doesn't come up, then let's..."

"Why so much nonsense!" Before he could finish saying a word from Wang Xuexin, he pushed it up: "If the devil comes up, he will fight, if he doesn't come, wait! Why are you asking so many questions? Shut up for me!"

In fact, Wang Xuexin understood their performance.

This is a normal human reaction. When you are afraid, you will want to ask something, and you will want to determine something that is uncertain or dangerous.

Wang Xuexin was equally frightened, and he was also thinking about a lot of dangerous pictures and possibilities.

For example, what if the devil is not fooled?
What if our army's artillery fire is not accurate?
What if the devil brings back the troops in time?
……

If possible, Wang Xuexin would also like to ask someone.

It's not about getting a definite answer, everyone knows these questions won't have answers.

The purpose of asking is actually to seek comfort, to seek sustenance, and a way to decompress.

But Wang Xuexin knew he couldn't do it.

He is the platoon leader, and the thirty or so soldiers under his command are all staring at him, most of them are recruits. If Wang Xuexin shows his cowardice, the mentality of the recruits will collapse.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin suppressed the fear in his heart, and half squatted behind a broken earth wall with his rifle, aiming forward.

The visibility in the village is very low, and there is only a faint shadow on the earth wall of the house more than ten meters away.The air was filled with choking smoke, scorched and spicy, mixed with gunpowder smoke and blood, which made it difficult for Wang Xuexin to breathe.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly fell into a strange silence. It seemed that both the enemy and the enemy knew that this was the last moment and were preparing for it. The heavy and depressing atmosphere made everyone nervous. Wang Xuexin could even hear the soldiers behind him rushing. sound of breathing.

Suddenly, the explosion of a grenade and the cry of the devil came from the front.

This made Wang Xuexin relieved, because he knew that the devils were fooled, and they found that there was no one in the front position and launched a counterattack.

"Come on!" Wu Lei turned his head and raised his head at the soldiers, and ordered: "Get the bayonet, prepare the grenade!"

The soldiers put bayonets on their rifles one after another, and took out the cantaloupe-shaped grenades they had just allocated and placed them within reach.

This time, each of Qilian carried a dozen grenades: five on the left, five on the right, and one or two in their hands.

In fact, not only the seventh company, but also the other companies were similar. More than 3000 grenades were all distributed to more than 500 soldiers who participated in the attack, and none were left.

It's just that because these grenades were captured by the Seventh Company, the Seventh Company received a lot.

Wang Xuexin didn't move, because he believed in the rifle in his hand more than the grenade.

The explosion of the grenade kept approaching the Seventh Company position, getting closer and louder.

Suddenly, the figures of several devils jumped out of the smoke and leaped forward like nimble rabbits.

Wang Xuexin didn't think much about it, and immediately pulled the trigger. There was a sound of "bang". The bullet hit a Japanese soldier who was about to hide behind the earth wall.

Almost at the same time, Wu Lei shouted: "Fight!"

The gunshots rang out quickly, and the bullets shuttled through the smoke with whistles and tail marks, pressing the charging Japanese army into the building ahead.

The Japanese immediately launched a counter-attack, with machine guns and grenade launchers hitting the Seventh Company position head-on.

If it was just like this, the Seventh Company would probably not be able to withstand the attack of the devils from the front.

Because as I said before, the devils have good marksmanship, and the grenade can easily hit the grenade behind the dirt wall... The battlefield with dirt walls like Xue Huan Village is simply designed for grenade launchers. of.

But this time is different.

On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army used to place bullet mines in front of the positions, so the devils did not dare to charge at will, and even if they wanted to charge, they had to use grenades to clear the way.

On the other hand, there are not many grenades left for Guizi at this time, and he can't charge at will for the sake of saving ammunition.

More importantly, the two "ghost cannons" captured by our army fired at this time.

The cannonball landed in the middle of the devils as if they had eyes. With a loud "boom", the cannonball almost exploded in front of Wang Xuexin, blasting a group of devils into the air, and then divided into several pieces and fell down. , and some fragments of the stump even flew into the Seventh Formation.

As soon as fifty shells passed, Wu Lei turned back to his height and shouted, "Grenade!"

The soldiers grabbed the grenades one after another, quickly pulled the safety and knocked them according to the method they just learned, and then threw them in the direction of the devil.
