Just as Vasily, with anger on his face, wondered if he was temporarily retiring from the army, the major, who was inspecting the battlefield, suddenly brought a soldier of an artillery company who had fled into the dense forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing Major General Vasily, the artillery soldiers, who looked panicked and were close to collapse, cried loudly at Vasily as if they had found the backbone: "Your Excellency the division commander, you must avenge the imperial warriors who died in the artillery company, the warriors died too miserably, the whole battle was a massacre, and the bandits unilaterally slaughtered us......"

"To the point, don't say this nonsense earlier! As long as you can find those who attacked the artillery, Your Excellency will definitely avenge you......" Seeing Vasily's brow furrowed suddenly, the major decisively interrupted the other party's cry and ordered loudly......

"Yes, sir......" The old Maozi artilleryman, who was crying in front of Vasily, immediately remembered the repeated confession that the major had just given to him.

Subsequently, he hurriedly reported to Major General Vasily: "Division commander, the bandits who attacked us have just retreated for less than twenty minutes, and they have seen the direction of their retreat...... They have artillery with them, they can't go fast, and if we pursue them now, we will definitely be able to catch up with them......"

Hearing the news, Vasily seemed to have found a life-saving straw in despair, and a glimmer of hope rekindled on his gloomy and dignified face.

Then, as if he was crazy, he grabbed the artilleryman's collar regardless of his image, and asked loudly: "What you said is true...... If you lie about the military situation, you will lose your head......"

"What the lowly post said is true, the lowly duty is willing to lead the way for His Excellency the division commander, catch up with the bandits, destroy them, and avenge the warriors who died in the artillery company......"

Hearing this, Major General Vasily no longer hesitated.

Immediately gather the troops, and under the leadership of the artillerymen, pursue the guard company.

At this time, the reconnaissance company, which still had a total strength of more than 80 people, had already joined up with the guard company and escorted the captured retreat.

However, it didn't take long for the brothers who were scouting behind to bring back the news that Lao Maozi was chasing them to the two company commanders.

Looking at the six mountain artillery pieces and dozens of baggage vehicles slowly advancing in front of them, Zhang Shanlin and Li Xiaohu both knew that they were definitely not Lao Maozi's opponents when they were marching in a hurry.

Since they can't run away from each other, for the sake of these seizures behind them, the two companies can only block Lao Maozi here.

"We have eight light machine guns here, and Lao Maozi has six heavy machine guns...... In addition, there are many old Maozi, in terms of firepower, we are definitely not their opponents......" Zhang Shanlin analyzed with a serious face.

"However, we have an advantage that Lao Maozi does not have, that is, the light machine gun can be transferred at any time, but the heavy machine gun cannot do ......"

"What's more, Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun company was caught off guard by our reconnaissance company on the way back to help. Although the heavy machine gun did not lose a single one, the heavy machine gunner lost more than half of it......"

"If we can find another opportunity, we will hit Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun and kill all their heavy machine gunners."

"Even if Lao Maozi temporarily took people from the infantry to be machine gunners during the battle, there was no way to give full play to the power of the heavy machine gun. When the time comes, the threat of Lao Maozi's heavy machine guns to us will be gone......"

Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Platoon Commander Zhang, do you already have any ideas......

"Well, the Commander once led us to the same battle, and you were also... At that time, we only had a light machine gun, and the other side had a heavy machine gun, and there were more people than us...... The commander buried an ambush on the battlefield at that time, and finally won the ......" Zhang Shanlin replied thoughtfully.

Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I remembered, we fought on the way back to the cottage from Lushun......

"When that battle came out, I had confidence...... Company Commander Zhang, you say, how should we fight ......?"

Zhang Shanlin did not hesitate, and immediately said what he thought in his heart.

After half an hour of continuous pursuit, Vasily could clearly see the wheel marks left by the baggage wagons on the mountain road.

At the same time, the horse remained on the mountain road, and the horse manure was still steaming, and told Vasily directly that he was not far from the bandits who attacked his artillery.

Just as Vasily was about to urge his subordinates to speed up again, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the avant-garde squad.

As soon as Vasily raised his binoculars, he saw more than a dozen soldiers of the avant-garde squad, all wiped out under a burst of indiscriminate gunfire from the bandit blocking troops, and not a single one survived.

The loss of a dozen of his subordinates, although it pained Vasily's heart.

However, Vasily's face not only did not show the slightest solemn expression, but a trace of excitement flashed on his face......

Facing his subordinates, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, we have heavy machine guns, frontal combat, bandits are definitely not our opponents...... The bandits must have been forced by us, otherwise they would never have fought us head-on......"

"Heavy machine gun cover, the seventh company rushed forward, eliminate the bandits who wanted to stop us, and recapture the artillery and baggage ...... that they had stolen" Vasily, who made a simple judgment of the battlefield situation, ordered with an excited face as if he had eaten chicken blood.

For Vasily, this was his only chance to turn defeat into victory......

For ordinary old Maozi soldiers, this is an opportunity for them to wash away their shame and avenge their comrades-in-arms.

Therefore, the order to attack Vasily, they carried out it particularly thoroughly.

In less than two minutes, six heavy machine guns were set up less than 300 meters from the guard company and began to strafe.

The old man of a company, who also lined up in a skirmish line, quickly rushed towards the guard company under the cover of heavy machine guns.

originally thought that under the frantic fire of his six heavy machine guns, the bandits in front of him would definitely turn into shrunken turtles, or be directly crushed by the beating.

However, Vasily saw the exact opposite.

The guard company and reconnaissance company, which accounted for a large proportion of the veterans, went so far as to constantly shoot back with fire.

In particular, their machine guns shifted their positions every few rounds fired, and their six heavy machine guns had no way to concentrate on suppressing them with all their might.

And it was only at this moment that Vasily clearly saw that the other side was not equipped with heavy machine guns, but light machine guns that even the imperial army was not equipped with.

Faced with this situation, Vasily immediately adjusted his deployment......

"Order the heavy machine gun company, draw out four heavy machine guns, and specialize in suppressing the light machine guns of the bandits...... The other two heavy machine guns strafed the opposing infantry...... Seven companies, speed up the attack......"

Because the time was too short, the guard company and the reconnaissance company did not have time to dig trenches, and everyone used the terrain to lie on the ground to block Lao Maozi.

Therefore, when Lao Maozi specially drew out two heavy machine guns to strafe them, the casualties of the two companies immediately rose gradually.

In this way, whether it is the old Maozi who is attacking or the old Maozi who is watching the battle, they are all staring at the battlefield of battle, thinking that victory is already beckoning to them.

......At this moment, a dense burst of machine-gun fire suddenly sounded in the forest less than 30 meters away from the heavy machine-gun position.

And the moment the gunfire rang out, on the heavy machine gun position, one by one, the machine gunners were cut to the ground by bullets.

In the blink of an eye, there were few of the more than 20 machine gunners left in the six heavy machine guns, and the six heavy machine guns that had just kept roaring were also standing alone on the battlefield, no longer roaring.
