Chapter 193: Meet the New Fourth Army Again
The New Fourth Army was formally established in October 1937 and was reorganized from Red Army guerrillas in 14 regions of 8 southern provinces. At the beginning of its establishment, the New Fourth Army had more than 10,000 men and more than 6,500 guns, and many soldiers also used broadswords and shuttles as weapons. At this time, the New Fourth Army had 4 detachments, 10 regiments and 1 special service battalion
Although it is now October 1938, and it has been a full year since the establishment of the New Fourth Army, the number of the New Fourth Army has increased a lot, but there is still an extreme shortage of weapons and equipment, and the same is true of this unit that is fighting with the little devils, and many soldiers do not even have a gun.
Ahead, the two sides are fighting, and although the little devils are only one squadron in number, they are attacking the hillside under the cover of a few machine guns and a few grenadiers.
Hundreds of the New Fourth Army, condescending, are attacking the little devils, but the firepower of the New Fourth Army is much sparse compared to the little devils.
"Regiment Commander, we have suffered heavy casualties, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat this group of little devils today."
Zhang Zhengkun, the commander of the New Fourth Army, held a Mauser 20-shot pistol, lying on the hillside, staring at the little devil at the bottom of the hillside, without saying a word, and his face was relatively solemn.
At the beginning, the information I got was that a squad of little devils would pass through here, and Zhang Zhengkun personally led two battalions to set up an ambush here early, with the purpose of completely annihilating this Japanese squad and seizing the weapons and equipment of this squad, Zhang Zhengkun's regiment was extremely short of weapons.
When he saw that the little devil was not a small team, but the size of a squadron, Zhang Zhengkun thought about it again and again, and decided to fight a dozen, as long as this squadron was eliminated, he could capture the weapons and equipment of an entire devil squadron.
Zhang Zhengkun led two battalions. Seven or eight hundred soldiers, more than four hundred guns, but these guns were varied. They were all relatively shabby, and even included some bird guns, and the machine gun was only a Czech machine gun that was almost not rifled.
Occupying a favorable location, an ambush, and more than 400 guns, Zhang Zhengkun is ready to take a risk and try it, in case he fights well. If you completely annihilate this gang of little devils, the harvest will be very rich, and many weapons and equipment that the soldiers have long been jealous of will be captured.
But. Although it was an ambush, due to the gap in weapons and equipment, these New Fourth Armies could not take advantage of it at all. Zhang Zhengkun is also a little difficult to ride a tiger.
Retreat! All the effort was in vain. The soldiers who have already sacrificed can be regarded as sacrifices in vain, continue to fight, and they may not be able to annihilate these little devils, the firepower of the little devils is very fierce.
Zhang Zhengkun thrust his left hand into the dirt and stared at the little devil one or two hundred meters away in front of him.
"Pass my orders, blow the trumpet, rush down, and start a white-knuckle battle with the little devils." Zhang Zhengkun said in a deep voice.
Apparently. Zhang Zhengkun is ready to rely on his large number of people, which is several times the number of little devils. Prepare to meet the red with the little devil's bayonet and start a fierce white-knuckle battle.
White-knuckle battles are generally very tragic, and the casualties are generally very large, especially the little devils' skills in fighting bayonets are not bad, if you want to kill these two hundred little devils, I am afraid that you will have to pay a great price.
The main reason for doing this is that there is too much shortage of weapons and equipment, and if the troops want to develop, they need a large amount of weapons and equipment, and the New Fourth Army does not have its own military factories, so all weapons are solved by itself, and Zhang Zhengkun is in urgent need of weapons and equipment.
Seeing that his regiment commander gave the order to charge and start a white-knuckle battle, Liu Peishan, the deputy regiment commander next to him, sighed helplessly, with the charge, a large number of soldiers will definitely be sacrificed here.
The valley floor under the hillside.
Several small Japanese officers wore white gloves and fought together with command swords, the highest rank was a Japanese captain, next to a lieutenant, two second lieutenants, and several devil soldiers.
These Japanese officers saw that their troops were attacking smoothly and had already begun to rush up the hillside, their faces were full of excitement and joy, although there were seven or eight hundred people in the ambush of the New Fourth Army, but these little devil officers did not pay attention to it at all.
"Yo Si! The New Fourth Army is not able to do its work, and our warriors will soon rush forward. ”
It's three or four hundred meters away, on the opposite hillside.
Seeing that this New Fourth Army did not have the upper hand at all, Ye Feng decided to help.
"Let's choose a good position, use a sniper rifle to eliminate important targets first, and then lean over and use a Thomson submachine gun to eliminate these little devils." Ye Feng shouted loudly.
Ye Feng and the others were on the hillside opposite the New Fourth Army, which was relatively far away from the New Fourth Army, about five or six hundred meters away, and not far from the little devils, about three or four hundred meters.
Ye Feng had already chosen a position, holding a Garand sniper rifle, and aimed at one of the little devil officers. The rest of the special combat team, including Zhao Long, were carrying the same sniper rifle, in addition, each of them had a Thomson submachine gun on their backs and a Browning pistol at their waists.
Everyone is a special combat team, and they are also one of the best special combat members among the Sword special combat personnel, so of course everyone knows what to fight first.
In the distance, several machine guns, grenadiers, standard-bearers, and even those little devil officers were all under everyone's guns, and everyone aimed at these targets.
Ye Feng's face was not shocked, Ye Feng aimed at the little devil captain three hundred meters away, and through the scope, he could clearly see the head of the little devil captain.
"Bang!"
Ye Feng fired the first shot, and with Ye Feng's gunshot, the triumphant devil captain's head blossomed, and he fell to the ground and died.
The rest of the special combat team, including Zhao Long, also began to shoot, aiming at the machine guns, grenadiers and other targets of the little devils in the distance.
After Ye Feng fired the first shot, he exploded the little devil captain's head with one shot, a smile appeared on Ye Feng's face, and the corners of his mouth showed a slightly upturned arc.
Ye Feng moved the muzzle quickly, the Garand sniper rifle did not need to pull the bolt, Ye Feng's rate of fire was very fast, and the few little devil officers next to him had not even reacted, and another headshot ended the life of the little devil lieutenant.
Two people in a company were blown out in the head, and the rest of the little devil officers finally reacted and prepared to escape, but before they could turn around, Ye Feng had already fired a third shot, which was still a headshot. Knocked out a little devil ensign's head.
There was only one devil lieutenant left, and apparently, the devil lieutenant knew that there was a sharpshooter in the distance. He may have been targeted, his face was full of horror, he turned around and ran, and in the panic, he even dropped the command knife in his hand to the ground.
However, this devil lieutenant only ran a few meters away, was targeted by Ye Feng, and was shot in the heart. Immediately threw himself on the ground, apparently also killed.
Four shots were fired in a row, and the speed was very fast. In just a few seconds, Ye Feng shot a few more shots, killing several devil soldiers next to him until he finished this magazine. Ye Feng hid. Changed a magazine, and also changed a sniper point.
After firing a magazine, the whole time was very short, less than 30 seconds, and in such a short time, every special combat team member had already begun to shoot, at least three or four shots, and some team members had even fired five or six shots. Zhao Long's shooting speed was also very fast, and Ye Feng had just finished firing a magazine. Zhao Long also finished a magazine after that.
Opposite hillside.
Zhang Zhengkun, the commander of the New Fourth Army Corps, had already given the order to charge completely and start a white-knuckle battle, and the trumpeter next to him didn't have time to blow the trumpet of the charge, so he was stunned in place, all this came so suddenly.
In a short period of time, several commanders of the little devil were all killed, the machine guns that were firing were also muted in a short time, and several grenadiers fell to the ground.
A standard infantry squadron of the Japanese army consisted of three infantry squads, each with two rifle groups, one machine gun group (two light machine guns) and one grenadier group (two grenadiers). Each LMG is staffed by four people (commander, shooter, two secondary shooters with ammunition) and two people per grenadier canister.
Some infantry squadrons also have an artillery squad, equipped with two or two 70mm infantry guns and the corresponding operator, ammunition hand, observer, commander, about 20 people. However, the infantry squadron of this little devil does not have such an artillery squad.
In a short period of time, almost all of his machine guns were dumbfired, many grenadiers were killed, and his squadron leader was also killed by one shot, and the remaining little devils were a little panicked.
Without the fire support of the machine gun, the devil's firepower suddenly weakened a lot, and only some little devils with Type 38 rifles continued to shoot.
Zhang Zhengkun was also a little distracted when he saw this sudden change, but soon Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu laughed, obviously there were masters on the opposite hillside to help, Zhang Zhengkun picked up his telescope and looked towards Ye Feng and where they were.
Seeing that Ye Feng and the others were only a few people, they were also slightly surprised, just a few people, their marksmanship was like a god, and they killed at least thirty or forty little devils in a short period of time.
Ye Feng and the others were still shooting, and after shooting a magazine, they immediately changed their position, and kept aiming at the little devils while moving forward.
The little devils quickly fell down one after another under the guns of Ye Feng and the special combat team, and some of the remaining little devils began to retreat down the hillside, and even some little devils with 38-type rifles began to turn around and shoot at Ye Feng and them.
Ye Feng finished firing a magazine, and then changed a magazine, and he got closer and closer to the position of the little devil, from more than 300 meters before to less than 200 meters now.
The distance was close, and after Ye Feng finished firing the fourth magazine, he put away his sniper rifle and replaced it with a Thomson submachine gun, and the rest of the special combat team, including Zhao Long, also began to change to a Thomson submachine gun to shoot.
"Da, da, da"
A burst of submachine gun shooting sounded, and the little devils were rapidly reduced under the blows of these submachine guns, and some of the little devil soldiers, holding 38-type rifles, were killed before they could aim quickly.
When Zhang Zhengkun, the commander of the New Fourth Army Corps, saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Comrades, rush me, and annihilate this gang of little devils." ”
A loud trumpet sounded, and all the soldiers of the New Fourth Army shouted, holding their own weapons, or brandishing broadswords and spears and rushed towards the little devils.
