My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 576
As the saying goes, move a tree to die, and move a person to live, especially in a fierce battlefield. If you stay where you are, you will be slowly consumed by the enemy sooner or later.

Chen Xinmin, the commander of the reconnaissance company, is a veteran of the battlefield. He also knows this truth well. If he can't get close to the enemy on the east bank, he must continue to stay in the middle of the river.

After organizing two charges to no avail, Chen Xinmin changed his strategy, and all the remaining boats moved closer to the west bank, allowing the soldiers to go ashore to find cover.

Although doing so can minimize the casualties of the main force, the price...maybe is to give up the twenty or so people from Li Shuanggui who just landed.

Chen Xinmin felt a little guilty. This was also the result of his negligence in command just now. He didn't want to be passive, so he ordered Li Shuanggui's first row to land on the shore. If there are more casualties, we can only take this bad policy to take into account the overall situation.

The lower reaches of the Pathein River are not very wide, and the distance between the east and west banks is only about 150 meters. The terrain on the east bank is slightly higher, while the west bank is densely forested.

After fighting for so long, I have somewhat figured out the situation on the other side. The Japanese army on the west bank is about the size of a squadron, with some long-range support firepower such as grenades and heavy machine guns. Fortunately, there are no direct-pointing guns, otherwise the situation will be even more unfavorable.

Chen Xinmin also didn't want to give up on Li Shuanggui and others on the east bank. They were still organizing troops to try to cross the river. It was just that the reconnaissance company did not carry heavy weapons for the convenience of marching, and there was a natural danger like the Pasheng River. It is difficult to threaten the opposite Japanese army.

"Old Chen, the situation is not good, the little devils are starting to encircle and suppress the front line!" the instructor said worriedly.

From the binoculars, it can be clearly seen that part of the Japanese army is moving towards the rocky pile in the shoal, and it is obvious that they are now freeing up their hands to eliminate the first row of soldiers there.

"Damn it! Those two heavy machine guns on the mountain are too tricky. There's nothing you can do if you don't destroy them." Chen Xinmin yelled, the weapons of his own troops couldn't reach the machine positions on the opposite side, and as soon as the speedboat approached the west bank, they would be attacked by the devils. A crossfire grid of machine guns.

"I have already contacted the regiment headquarters to apply for air support, but they just returned to refuel... It is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive again." Putting down the binoculars, the instructor sighed and expressed helplessness, as if all the unlucky things made them hurry up on.

Chen Xinmin's expression was tangled, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his brows were tightly locked, and he stared at the opposite bank. Reason told him that it was best to wait for the air support to arrive before launching an attack across the river, but Li Shuanggui and the others couldn't last that long. The comrades were shot and killed by the devils and remained indifferent.

"Zizi... a row of calls, please answer..."

At this moment, Li Shuanggui's rough voice came from the walkie-talkie, and the messenger hurriedly took it off and handed it over.

"I'm Chen Xinmin, big guy? How's the situation?"

"Zizi... The devils are coming around again. I have used up all the smoke grenades on my side, and the brothers are running out of ammunition... Zizi... I need you to cover for a while, I'm going to charge up the mountain!"

To the hillside?Chen Xinmin was very surprised, but he quickly realized that this might be their last chance.

"Order the snipers to keep an eye on the beach. Once the devils charge, they will beat me to death. Try to reduce the pressure on the front row!"

"Yes!"

Each platoon of the reconnaissance company has a sniper squad, which is composed of three snipers equipped with 5.3x sniper G43 rifles and three deputy shooters. Their marksmanship is outstanding in the army, and they only reach 300% within 90.00 meters hit rate to be selected.

Soon... the Japanese soldiers charging towards the rocky beach saw their horror. There were gunshots on the battlefield one after another, but the bullets that came from nowhere were like the scythe of death, silently harvesting the charging Japanese soldiers one by one.

Even if there were Japanese soldiers who escaped the sniper blockade and approached the shore to pile up rocks, they would hate the Northwest under the firepower of Li Shuanggui and others.

Almost all the little devils who fell to the ground were shot in the upper body, chest and abdomen, and they couldn't find where the enemy was shooting. The soldiers with a little experience immediately realized that the snipers on the other side were deliberately targeting them, and the number was not low.

The little devil is not stupid, the Japanese team in charge of the assault quickly gave up the suicide charge, slowed down the offensive instead and summoned the grenadier team, trying to use the grenade to open the breach... But their enemies don't seem to want to sit still .

Glancing at the enemy's heavy machine guns on the mountain, Li Shuanggui thought secretly, if he could touch them and destroy them and occupy the high ground, then the company commander and instructor would have a chance to approach the east bank. These hundreds of devils are not easy to catch.

"Concentrate the ammunition and give me two 792 magazines. When the company commander's cover arrives, everyone will rush up the mountain with me!"

Li Shuanggui ordered in a low voice, and the remaining fourteen soldiers nodded. Everyone knew that this was their last chance. As long as they could rush up the hillside and successfully take down the devil's machine gun positions, they would be able to survive. I have to die here.

"Platoon leader, we won't bother you, just leave... just two grenades for us..."

The two wounded who couldn't afford to be seriously injured choked in a low voice. Although the blood had already stained the military uniforms, the expressions on their faces were so firm.

Li Shuanggui closed his eyes distressedly, didn't say anything, just silently took off the two fragment grenades around his waist, handed them to the two wounded, and held his hands tightly together: "Brother... Take care!"

bump!bump!
A few low-pitched sounds resembling artillery shells were heard on the west bank. Soldiers from several reconnaissance companies held grenadier-like weapons and fired two rounds towards the east bank in a row.

The curved ballistic trajectory was very obvious. The devils thought it was a mortar shell fired by the enemy, and hurriedly hid behind the bunker to avoid it.

After the "cannonball" hit the ground, there was no explosion as imagined, but billowing smoke splashed in a very short time.

The SMLE Mk III smoke grenade launcher is transformed from a Lee Enfield rifle. The front end is a tubular launcher, and the rear is the No. 3 Lee Enfield with only the gun unit and handle left.

The overall appearance is like the No. 150 Lao Li, who was sawn into the length of a submachine gun, put a grenadier on it, loaded in the front, and was fired by the blank bullet in the rear gun, but what was fired was a smoke bomb, and the firing distance was the largest. Can reach [-] meters.

Some pungent and choking white smoke spread in front, and the sight of the Japanese army was once again blocked...

"go!"

After briefly identifying the direction, Li Shuanggui shouted with all his strength, raised his rifle and rushed into the smoke first, and the soldiers followed behind him, like fish swimming in muddy water, disappearing in the blink of an eye. without a trace...
