Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Small Victory (4)

"Cunning bandits, I'm going to kill you all...... He even attacked the heavy machine-gun position of the general......" Looking at the heavy machine-gun position that had died down, Major General Vasily roared loudly like an angry lion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Vasily, who had already had the experience of dealing with it once, reacted only after a brief outburst.

"What are you doing...... Eighth Company, immediately counterattack the bandits who attacked the heavy machine gun position, attacking them from the flank......" Facing the gaze of his subordinates looking at him, Major General Vasily ordered very decisively.

This time, Vasily was doomed to be disappointed by his decision.

The old Maozi elite of a company was just about to set off when the gunfire of the sneak attack on the heavy machine gun position stopped.

The soldiers lying around the heavy machine gun position also managed to return to the heavy machine gun position.

There is no doubt that the bandits, who had attacked their heavy machine-gun positions, retreated.

Faced with this situation, the commander of Lao Maozi's eighth company asked in a low voice: "Sir, the bandits have retreated, do you want to continue to counterattack......

Vasily, who was holding back a ball of anger in his stomach and had no place to send it, directly opened his mouth and scolded: "You are confused, the bandits have retreated, is it still useful to fight back now...... From now on, the eighth company has only one mission, to protect our heavy machine gun company from being attacked again......"

When the commander of the eighth company of Lao Maozi began to carry out the order with a depressed face, the commander of the heavy machine gun company, who had managed to escape many attacks, suddenly brought Vasily a desperate news......

In two successive attacks, the heavy machine gunners available to the heavy machine gun company had been lost.

Although there are still more than a dozen people left in the heavy machine gun company, these people are all baggage soldiers who transport ammunition, and they are not even ammunition suppliers.

Therefore, although the six heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company were returned to the hands of Major General Vasily, there was no heavy machine gunner to control them......

The bandits in front of him took advantage of the silence of six heavy machine guns to concentrate all their firepower on the seventh company.

Faced with a fierce counterattack of four Madsen light machine guns, more than twenty Mauser pistols, and one or two hundred rifles, the Seventh Company had to leave behind fifty or sixty corpses and retreat back like a lost dog.

Of course, the reconnaissance company and the guard company also suffered heavy losses, and more than a platoon of officers fell on the battlefield.

"I finally won the battle...... Looking at the old Maozi who was retreating in embarrassment on the battlefield, Li Xiaohu, the commander of the guard company, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

And at this moment, Zhang Shanlin also came back with two heavy machine gun squads without any losses.

Looking at the tragic battle situation in front of him, although Zhang Shanlin was very heartbroken, he didn't say anything?

After taking a deep breath, he decided very decisively: "Company Commander Li, we have only been holding for less than twenty minutes now, and we must repel Lao Maozi's new round of attack before we can retreat......

"Lao Maozi's heavy machine gunner has been killed by us, in the next battle, Lao Maozi will definitely let ordinary riflemen act as heavy machine gunners, even if the heavy machine gun can still sound, it will not have too many accurate heads, threatening our ......"

"My idea is to draw six light machine guns from the eight machine guns to fire at Lao Maozi's heavy machine guns, and the remaining two machine guns will hit Lao Maozi's attacking troops......"

Faced with the seven companies that retreated from the battlefield in disarray, Vasily wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart on them.

However, as soon as the words came to his lips, Vasily himself held back.

Because, the reason why the Seventh Company was defeated was not that the Seventh Company did not work hard, but that the bandits were too cunning, so that the heavy machine gun company could not provide fire suppression to the Seventh Company in time, which finally led to this defeat.

However, faced with the only chance to recapture the artillery and all the baggage, Vasily did not intend to give up just like that.

After only a brief hesitation, a new order came out of Vasily's mouth again.

"This time, we must not make the same mistake again...... The heavy machine gun company felt that it could no longer be attacked, and the fire suppression of the bandits could not be stopped...... One attack, rush to the bandit positions, destroy all the bandits who stand in our way, and recapture the artillery and baggage ......"

Soon, a new round of Lao Maozi's offensive began......

The strafing sound of six heavy machine guns was still as dense as before.

However, because the firing distance was too long, the heavy machine gunners who had just taken over these heavy machine guns were not trained.

The storm of steel fired by the six heavy machine guns either shot into the dirt or flew into the sky, and the bullets that really clung to the blocking position were not even a fifth.

In this way, the reconnaissance company and guard company that are blocking in front of them can confidently and boldly raise their weapons to counterattack.

In particular, after the six light machine guns sounded in the blocking position, Lao Maozi's six machine gunners, who were operating the heavy machine guns, were as if they were enchanted and directly fixed the target of the six light machine guns.

In this way, the remaining two light machine guns and one or two hundred rifles of the two companies could unscrupulously shoot round after round of bullets at Lao Maozi's attacking troops......

A company of more than 100 people, as soon as it attacked to a position of 100 meters, was weakened by two light machine guns in turn.

And as the bandit riflemen began to counterattack, the company's losses rose as if they were in a straight line.

After taking a full view of the battlefield, Major General Vasily immediately vented his dissatisfaction and anger on the heavy machine gun company.

In Vasily's opinion, although the light machine guns equipped by the bandits were very powerful, in terms of firepower, two light machine guns were not as good as one of his own heavy machine guns.

As long as nothing happens, on the battlefield, one heavy machine gun can definitely easily suppress more than two light machine guns.

And now, his six heavy machine guns have not even suppressed the opponent's eight light machine guns, and he has let two of them fire at the attacking troops unscrupulously, killing and injuring their own attacking troops.

However, when he finished scolding, it had to admit that its scolding did not have any effect.

Just as Vasily was about to fire again, the commander of the heavy machine gun company had to answer helplessly......

"Sir, these machine gunners have never touched a heavy machine gun before, and it's good that they can shoot like this at a range of 300 meters...... Not surprisingly, the reason why the bandits attacked our heavy machine gun company twice must have been to kill and injure our heavy machine gunners, so that even if we had heavy machine guns, we would not be able to exert the power of heavy machine guns because we did not have heavy machine gunners......"

Hearing this, the anger in Vasily's heart was immediately replaced by fear......

If the commander of the heavy machine gun company said that it was true, then the attack in front of him would definitely end hastily.

And the next attack, no matter how hard you try, will end in failure because of the heavy machine gun.

In this way, he will lose dozens of officers and men in one attack, and after several consecutive attacks, the already small number of troops will be completely lost.

Thinking of this, Major General Vasily again had to face a very difficult decision.
