Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 40 Sun Desheng’s pursuit
Although the battle in Wei Zhuang was dangerous, both the scale of the battle and the losses on both sides were incomparable to the Seventh Company more than ten miles away.

Although the Japs in the Wangjiazhuang stronghold ran fast, they were carrying wounded people and supplies after all, so their movement speed was still much slower than that of the Seventh Company, which only carried weapons and ammunition.Therefore, after the group of Japanese soldiers had run a few miles, they were caught up by the Seventh Company and grabbed their tail.The two Czech guns fired wildly at the Japanese detachment at the rear.

But in this firefight, the situation was different - shooting was the enemy's specialty.

As soon as the soldiers of the Seventh Company advance forward, the units at the rear of the Japanese Army will retreat alternately, blocking layer by layer, keeping the distance between the two sides within 200 meters to 400 meters.This distance can guarantee a certain hit rate for the Japanese to shoot, but there are very few who can hit the Japanese in the Eight Route Army.

In other words, as long as this distance is maintained, the Seventh Company will always be passively beaten.

As for the marksmanship of the Seventh Company soldiers... Although they had more ammunition during this period, they also shot a lot.But after all, the shooting range proposed by Meng Zhige had not been built, and the average level of marksmanship among the soldiers was still too low.

In just half an hour of pursuit, more than a dozen soldiers from the seventh company were hit and six died.A machine gun group was blown up by a Japanese grenade because it was not transferred in time.There was nothing wrong with the machine gun. The magazine and barrel were damaged, and parts were replaced on the spot and repaired.However, the main shooter and ammunition hand of the machine gun team were injured by fragments in their blood vessels, and they could not stop bleeding.

On the other hand, on the Japs side, only one person died, and it was because of the follow-up shot from his teammates.

The Japanese was unlucky and was hit in the chest, which penetrated the lungs and made it difficult to breathe.However, there was a lack of medicine on the battlefield and it was impossible to treat him in time. The other Japanese soldiers directly rewarded the seriously injured Japanese soldier with a peanut to help him out of pain.

Then they also planted booby traps under his body, causing a soldier from the Seventh Company to be blown away half his body while clearing supplies...

Sun Desheng is not a rigid and pedantic person. Seeing this battle situation, he couldn't sit still: "You idiot, follow me in a row, go around sideways, and stab him in the waist!"

Sometimes your enemy is your best teacher.

Regardless of supporting arms, heavy equipment, naval and air force assistance, under the same equipment and logistical conditions, the Little Devils truly deserve to be number one in the world in pure infantry combat.It's a pity that the world doesn't look at one-sided rankings, but the overall comprehensive strength.

The Eighth Route Army, which had fought with the Japs for several years, had not yet grown into the force that represented the pinnacle of light infantry more than ten years later, but it had also learned a lot of skills from the Japs.For example, Sun Desheng used the side trap at this time. He has been beaten many times, and he naturally knows how to beat people.

Ten minutes later, the two machine guns of the Seventh Company opened fire again to suppress the little Japs, and the soldiers began to leap towards the bunkers ahead.The Japanese detachment seized the gap in firepower and began to counterattack and retreat.Everything went as planned and as planned by the Japanese.

Until Sun Desheng appeared on the flank of the Japanese with a Czech style.

"rush!"

For more than half an hour, the Japanese continued to take advantage of several rounds of offensives. This made them a little distracted and careless. They did not notice that a platoon on the side had reached a place only 50 meters away.At this moment, the firepower of a platoon was poured directly on the Japs. Almost in an instant, half of the Japs in this unit were killed.

At a distance of 50 meters, not only the Eighth Route Army can hit accurately, but the Japanese can too.After suffering a big loss, the few remaining Japanese soldiers immediately turned their guns and opened fire on the row that came up.

Sun Desheng, the company commander who was holding a machine gun, naturally became the first choice target of the Japanese.As soon as he emptied the machine gun magazine, an Arisaka rifle bullet hit Sun Desheng in the leg, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

"Captain!"

A soldier stopped charging, supported Sun Desheng, and dragged him into a bunker nearby.

"Why are you howling? I'm not dead yet."

Sun Desheng put the machine gun aside, looked at his legs, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the Type [-] is not very powerful, so it was destroyed without me."

"But I can't keep up with this battle. Tell the instructor later and let him take over the entire company and continue fighting." Sun Desheng patted the machine gun and said, "You can also take the machine gun with you." "Yes."

In the past, the Eighth Route Army's charges were really pure charges. The purpose was to quickly close the distance so that the Japs would not dare to shoot and fire, and to drag the Japs into a cold-weapon battle, which could offset the weapon gap between the two sides to a certain extent.

But now that the new group of bullets is sufficient, the purpose of charging is not to offset the weapon gap between the two sides, but to shoot more accurately the closer they are, and to destroy the enemy more quickly.Therefore, many soldiers chose to shoot while marching. After advancing forward, they would kneel down and shoot at the Japanese.

Therefore, before the first platoon could rush in front of the Japanese, they killed seven or eight of them, leaving only a few seriously injured ones struggling behind the bunker.

For these seriously injured and struggling Japanese soldiers, the soldiers enthusiastically used bullets to relieve their pain.

According to Consultant Meng, this was a very humane way of handling the matter, and the group leader also nodded.

"Old Sun is injured? Is it serious?"

In less than a minute, the instructor of the seventh company rushed up with the entire company.The soldiers who had dragged Sun Desheng back to the bunker immediately came to report the news that Sun Desheng was injured.

"Leg injury? There is a lot of chaos around now. You take two people to send the company commander and the wounded back to the regiment headquarters first, and ask the regiment headquarters to send them to the field hospital." The instructor took the machine gun brought by the soldier: "Others, follow me. Chase! Only one-third of the Japanese have been eliminated!"

"Bring the captured machine guns and grenade launchers with you too!"

Soon, the Seventh Company once again chased the Japanese at the Wangjiazhuang stronghold.Only this time, the instructor deliberately widened the distance and kept it at about 500 meters.Even the Japs have no hit rate at this distance.

As for why we have to pull it so far, the reason is also very simple.The instructor did not plan to fight with the Japanese during the day. He planned to give some gifts to the Japanese at night.

"Nishida, that group of Eight Route Army soldiers are still following behind." The Japanese team leader found Koji Nishida.

Koji Nishida looked at the squad leader, his Adam's apple twitching.The second team cleared the way, the third team escorted the wounded and supplies, and the first team stayed behind.He had witnessed the destruction of the first team just now.

This group of Eighth Route Army is really different from the past. Although the other Eighth Route Army is not afraid of death, their equipment is too poor.This gang of eight soldiers had plenty of ammunition. After chasing for so long, the gunfire never stopped.

Normally, the strength of a detachment is not very weak when facing a company of the Eighth Route Army regular army, but this time the first detachment only caused 30 casualties to the opponent, and was eaten by the opponent in one bite.

The battle strength advantage of the Locust Army does not seem to be that great in front of this group of Eighth Route Army who have sufficient ammunition.

"Captain, you..."

"I will personally take the second team to the rear. You should be prepared to abandon the supplies." The team leader opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but a Japanese soldier suddenly appeared at this moment.

"Report, the defenders of several strongholds next door have been spotted ahead. There are also Eight Route Army chasing behind them!"

"Nani?"
