Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 11
A series of gunshots echoed far away, instantly alarming everyone nearby.

The people abandoned their work and hid back in the village; the reconnaissance team of the supplementary regiment quickly approached the battlefield, and then sent one person back to the station to shake people off.

The fastest movers were the first and third platoons of the fifth company of the new regiment. As soon as the gunshots were fired, the soldiers of the two platoons entered combat mode and quickly raised their guns and were on guard.

"The gunfire came from the front. The enemy is on the east side. The chief of staff should have been ambushed." The commander of the fifth company communicated with the instructor.

"There were a lot of people listening to gunshots and the sound of several machine guns. The situation was not good."

After a few simple conversations, the two roughly formulated a battle plan.The instructor led the first platoon up the eastern hillside to attack and contain the enemy from the flanks; the company commander led the third platoon to accelerate forward and directly join the battlefield, increase frontal firepower, and cover the evacuation of the second platoon.

As for the reason for evacuation... nonsense, the same number of Eighth Route Army and Japanese soldiers, is that the same level of firepower?
Each Japanese soldier carries 120 rounds of ammunition, and machine guns have spread to the detachment.His fifth company brought half of the regiment's ammunition reserves, and the number of machine guns and bullets was only the same as that of a Japanese detachment. If he didn't retreat, how could he go to the front?
The teacher himself said that this kind of loss-making business cannot be done!

In just one minute, the platoon rushed up the hillside and advanced several hundred meters toward the battlefield. The Japanese ambush position could be vaguely seen.The Japs' attention was all on the second platoon, and they didn't notice that another platoon appeared on the side of them.

"Be quiet and touch it!" the instructor shouted, and then rushed towards the battlefield first.

This place is too far away from the battlefield. Shooting can indeed attract the attention of the Japs, but at this distance, the Japs will only be suppressed by the Japs. You must get closer to exert your combat effectiveness.

At this moment, the Japanese squadron leader Taro Yasui was quite satisfied with the battle situation.The imperial army launched an attack on the hillside, taking advantage of the terrain of high and low, to hold the group of eight soldiers in place and unable to move.With the firepower of the imperial army, it was only a matter of time before this group of Eight Route Army soldiers were eliminated.

"Grenade, destroy the machine gun on the eighth route! Suppress the machine gun fire, and the rest are ready to charge!" Taro Yasui quickly issued a new order.

Don't delay if you can solve it quickly.Although Taro Yasui is arrogant and arrogant, he knows very well that not long ago this was the base of the Eighth Route Army, and there might be an Eighth Route Army stationed nearby.

If he were a captain with an artillery and machine gun squadron, he would be unscrupulous and choose to fight with the supporting Eighth Route Army.But he was just a squadron leader. He did not have heavy machine guns or mortars, and he had no absolute firepower advantage when facing the Eighth Route Army.So it’s better to finish it quickly.

boom!
A grenade from the grenade exploded, and the machine guns on Route [-] immediately misfired.Then the five machine guns continued to fire, suppressing all the eight soldiers who poked their heads to fight back from time to time until they dared not show their heads.On both sides of the ambush position, there was a detachment of Japanese soldiers holding up the [-]-meter cover and leaping forward.

The five machine guns quickly ran out of bullets, but before the Eighth Route Army could react, the remaining four machine guns opened fire again.The ammunition hand quickly loaded the bullets to ensure that the firepower of the machine gun could continue to suppress the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

"Yang Chuanzong, are you okay?" Hu Sheng asked loudly.

Since Hu Sheng had been observing the battlefield and rarely fired back, the Japanese machine guns did not take special care of him.At this time, Yang Chuanzong's machine gun misfired, and Hu Sheng's shell gun briefly acted as a firepower point.

As an old comrade of Li Yunlong's Fourth Front Army, after fighting for so many years, Hu Sheng's marksmanship has been fed by bullets for a long time. He can't defeat him at a distance of about 100 meters.

The moment the machine gun misfired, Hu Sheng attached the gun case to the gun and fired over the shoulder.Two squads rushed out of the Japs position. Hu Sheng aimed at one of them and fired continuously. When ten rounds of bullets were fired, three Japs had already knocked down. The entire squad was pushed back by a shell gun and was beaten so that they dared not move. .

Taro Yasui was so angry at this scene that he screamed.Immediately command a machine gun to shoot in the general direction of Hu Sheng.

"I'm fine, the machine gun exploded!" Not far away, Yang Chuanzong shook the loose soil on his military cap, pulled the bullets out of the broken and deformed ammunition feeder one by one, and then loaded them into the [-] handed by the deputy shooter. Big Gary.

The bullet caliber of the crooked handle is the same as that of the [-]-gai, and bullet versatility was considered from the beginning of the design.As a result, due to technical problems of the Japs, it may be that the shell was broken, or the gunpowder was not burned sufficiently. In the end, the crooked gun used reduced-charge bullets.

There is still some versatility in bullets between these two guns, but not much.After all, you don’t want your trick to suddenly misfire, right?You don’t want your [-] pose to be shorter and weaker than others’, right?

But for Yang Chuanzong, these are not problems, it is just that the range is shorter and the power is smaller.It would be nice to have bullets to hit the eight routes. Do you still care about this?
"What? The machine gun is broken? What a stupid grenade!" Hu Sheng cursed and loaded the bullets for the shell gun.He had long wanted to change the position of the machine gun, but it was impossible to move on this broken terrain, so he might as well lie down in the temporary machine gun position.

With the damage of the machine gun and the suppressed firepower of the Japanese, the situation in the second row became increasingly unfavorable.A few minutes passed, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers jumped forward 30 meters, with the barrels of their guns almost touching their foreheads.The soldiers struck back from time to time. Although they succeeded in knocking down a few Japs, several others were injured or even killed.

"How many grenades are there? If the Japanese are approaching, give me a shout!"

"I do not have anymore!"

"One!"

"Me too!"

After some statistics, a total of eleven grenades were left.The large-scale smoke and dust raised by dozens of grenades at the beginning did give the soldiers time to react, but it also meant that the number of grenades was completely insufficient.

On the contrary, the Japs are condescending and the grenades can be thrown further.A Japanese soldier had already thrown a grenade, and it exploded about 20 meters in front of the second row.

"Xixi, get a few dozen meters closer, and then use a grenade to end the battle!" Taro Yasui looked happy.The Eighth Route Army only made a few sneak attacks, but it was still inferior to the Imperial Army in frontal combat!

Just when Taro Yasui felt that the battle had been decided, a burst of gunshots suddenly rang out from the right side, frightening him.

This is a unique volley gun of the Eighth Route Army. Due to the lack of bullets, many soldiers are not good at marksmanship. Therefore, during battle, they will choose to fire at one target at the same time to ensure the destruction of the enemy.The sound of gunshots fired at the same time will be particularly loud.

With just one round of firing, four people fell down in the Japanese ambush position, one of whom was the deputy shooter of the machine gun.The two teams that rushed out of the position obviously heard the gunshots. They slowed down for a moment and hid behind the bunker and did not dare to move.

"The first team blocks the enemy on the right." Taro Yasui quickly ordered to adjust the battle line, then turned to look at Zhong Yunhe beside him.

Before Zhong Yunhe could react, Anjing slapped him in the face, knocking Zhong Yunhe to the ground.

"Baga, didn't you say there is only one platoon in the Eighth Route Army?"
