The opening of the bright sword leads a battalion

Chapter 62
After the platoon leader Liu and the deputy company commander's team gathered, the number of this team has gathered nearly fifty people.

Although, there is still a gap in their numbers compared with the Japanese and puppet troops who surrounded Russell and the others.But don't forget, what they are holding is the Dezao Twenty Ring, a powerful pistol.

When fighting the Japanese army, the deputy company commander and the others naturally did not hesitate at all.After finding out the enemy's distribution, platoon leader Liu and the deputy company commander led their respective teams and rushed up.

Immediately afterwards, several gunshots rang out one after another, and all the Japanese soldiers were killed, and the puppet soldiers could spare their lives.After all, the Eighth Route Army has a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, especially for puppet troops.

And after using powerful firepower to beat the puppet soldiers until they shouted "surrender"...

Several soldiers went forward to hand in their guns, and drove them to stay aside, while Russell and the cadres of the fifth company finally met again.

The soldiers of the fifth company present were close to fifty, and counting the more than 20 people who had been dispatched by Russell before, most of them had gathered in the entire fifth company.

After confirming the number of soldiers, Russell lost the dignity he had when he was just surrounded by the Japanese army. He looked at the cadres of the fifth company and asked with a smile:

"Everyone, how are the results of the current battle?"

Hearing this, Platoon Leader Liu replied with a smile:

"Very good! This time, although the enemy has a small Japanese army and two companies of puppet troops, in fact, the enemy is open and we are secretly, plus our German made twenty rings and strong firepower..."

"The enemy has been beaten to a disadvantage by us now, especially the puppet army. It looks like there are many people, but in fact, their combat effectiveness is not very good."

The deputy company commander listened and nodded in agreement, that's true.

Dezao [-] rings, good stuff, not only can hold [-] rounds, but also allows continuous shooting, the firepower is really strong.

With this thing, Sanba Dagai was definitely at a disadvantage in a close-range battle with the Japanese army. What would they use to compete with Dezao Twenty Rings?
With such a good advantage, if he still can't win, then he doesn't need to be the deputy company commander.

After hearing this, Russell also agreed with this statement.He touched the twenty rings in his hand, this is the biggest hero of the fifth company in this battle.

And after the soldiers on the side finished making up the devil, Russell stopped talking.

It seems that there are still some devils left in the village, and he has to lead a team to eliminate them.

However, when leading the team past the puppet captives on the side, Russell heard a light sigh behind him.

He turned his head in doubt, only to see the surprised face of the soldier behind him.The soldier was looking at the puppet army on the side and said:
"Aren't these people my comrades-in-arms in the unit I was in before?"

Hearing this, Russell raised his eyebrows, and he also recognized this surprised soldier.

This person, isn't it the previous thorns? After being reprimanded by the battalion commander in Ding Wei's station, these thorns have become much more honest recently.

And these thorns... are said to be from the puppet army.Then their comrades... aren't they from the puppet army that was defeated by the battalion commander before?
Thinking of this, Russell's eyes became pity again, and he looked at the puppet soldiers squatting with their heads in their arms.

I'm afraid these puppet soldiers were captured by Battalion Commander Chu Qi for the second time, right?
No wonder these people took the lead in surrendering when they were called to surrender just now, and even the process went so smoothly and skillfully.

It turns out that there is experience.

……

……

And after Russell led the team to deal with the remaining devils and puppet troops everywhere.

Qin village is 70 meters away, on the small hill.

Qin Qing, the commander of the fourth company, was leading the team at this moment, making amends everywhere.

In front of him, Nakamura, an old devil whose face was scorched black from the bombing, was holding a Zuoguan sword in his hand, with his eyes closed, but he was motionless.

Staring at the old devil, Qin Qing was indifferent, while his deputy company commander stepped forward and said:

"Company commander! This time, we seized a lot of crooked guns, but there were no Type [-] heavy machine guns and infantry artillery. However, there are two Type [-] mortars."

The Type [-] mortar was a substitute for the Type [-] infantry artillery used by the Japanese army, just because the infantry artillery was too restrictive and ineffective when fighting in the mountains.

So later, in the dispatched troops of the Japanese army in North China, they usually replaced the Type [-] infantry artillery with curved firepower such as mortars.

In this way, it is more suitable for mountain operations.

Qin Qing was not surprised that there was no infantry artillery, because he had just recognized the sound of the Japanese artillery and knew that it was the [-] mortar known as the "Small Steel Cannon".

And these two cannons had caused Silian a lot of losses just now.

Thinking of this, Qin Qing felt a little helpless. The Japanese army still had an advantage in terms of heavy firepower.

He pouted helplessly, and suddenly asked:
"Then what about our battle damage?"

Hearing this, the deputy company commander was taken aback, but fortunately, the battle damage has already been counted.

I saw him take out a small piece of paper and read according to it:

"This time, we had 31 casualties, of which 13 were killed. Because this time, we had an absolute advantage in firepower, and it was an ambush. Under the sudden attack, the enemy didn't react at first, and was killed in large numbers."

"And the quality of our soldiers has also improved significantly compared to last time. This is also the reason for the sharp drop in casualties. Our fourth company is much stronger than before."

Hearing this, Qin Qing nodded, yes, it was much better than last time.

Whether it is weapons and equipment, or combat effectiveness during battle.

For this, I have to thank the practical training for nearly a month.During the actual combat drills, the Fourth Company often had to drill the attacking side. The experience gained from these drills played a role in this raid on the Japanese army.

Qin Qing signaled the deputy company commander to continue.

Hearing this, the deputy company commander turned the note to the back. The paper was very small, and he wrote it down in front of him.

The deputy company commander continued:

"But... in terms of weapons and equipment, our losses were relatively large. Nine Liao [-]-style rifles were destroyed, and two Czech-style light machine guns... were destroyed."

As he spoke, the deputy company commander shrank his neck, as if he was afraid of being scolded.

This loss can be said to be very huge.After all, the entire company only had one hundred Liao thirteen styles, and at this moment, nine of the four companies were lost, which was one-tenth of the number.

If you lose so much in one battle, then if you fight a few more battles, wouldn't the fourth company's guns be ruined?

In addition, the loss of the Czech light machine gun is not small, even quite painful.Because, two of them were actually destroyed.

Losing two Czech styles, even if it is Li Yunlong, he will feel distressed for a long time.After all, light machine guns are too precious.

But this loss is hard to avoid, and even to suppress the loss to this extent, the attack speed of the fourth company must be fast enough.

Otherwise, if the enemy's Type [-] mortars have enough time to roll their names one by one, after this battle, the Czech-style light machine guns will not know how much they will lose.

——The heavy firepower of the Japanese army is so unreasonable, which is why the Eighth Route Army is often at a disadvantage.Because on the battlefield, machine guns are often destroyed and suppressed by Japanese artillery.

Even if the Eighth Route Army's machine guns, rifles and other equipment are available, if there is no artillery, the Eighth Route Army will still be at a disadvantage in battle.

Artillery, that is known as the king of war.

Suppressing firepower such as machine guns is just their job.
