Chapter 22: Repelling the Japanese Army

The battle is still continuing, the footsteps of the Yue army are still advancing, at this time, the distance between the offensive and defensive sides, is only about 100 meters, with the addition of the attack squad, the battle seems to have become more intense, but it still has not been able to stop the pace of the Yue army's advance, but it is relatively slow than before.

The casualties of the three battalions are gradually increasing, it can be said that at the moment the advantage of the three battalions lies in the intensity of firepower, but the shortcomings of the three battalions are also very clear, the soldiers are very poor, and they can often easily hit the target, but they spend a lot of bullets to hit it, or even fail to hit.

And the consumption of ammunition is even more Su Dao can not bear, so far, it is only less than an hour, and the reserve ammunition of the third battalion has been consumed nearly a quarter, if it cannot be replenished in time, the third battalion is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

This is the first time that Su Dao realized how important the promotion of the original military rank was, although Su Dao's position at this time was battalion commander, but his actual military rank was still German captain, that is, the equipment he could exchange for was still twice that of a company. At the moment, it is imperative to get ammunition as soon as possible.

As a last resort, Su Dao can only find a place where no one is alone when the army stops attacking, and see if he can replenish the bullets that have been consumed, if not, Su Dao can only face two choices, one is to defeat all the troops here, and the second is to disobey the order and retreat with the troops, but this is not the result that Su Dao wants.

The mines laid by the third battalion have already begun to play some role, and some soldiers who did not pay much attention to their feet were directly blown away without mercy, and soldiers who were relatively close to the mines were also overturned and wounded on the ground.

At this time, the artillery and grenadiers of the army gradually played a huge role, and often the soldiers of the third battalion could not destroy them in the first time, so what awaited them would be death. As soon as the battle began, even the three battalions, which had the advantage of individual firepower, could not compare with the well-trained elite of the army.

So far, the army has left more than 200 corpses in front of the position of the third battalion, but the third battalion is not much better, with more than 20 machine gunners and more riflemen, and the casualties of the third battalion have reached more than 100. Although this kind of record is already good in the eyes of [***], but on the third battalion, this kind of record is really hard to say.

After all, the third battalion has the advantage of firepower, and even the second and third battalions of the fourth regiment, which are guarding the same front, in addition to artillery, if it comes to individual firepower, they cannot compete with the third battalion.

Gradually, Su Dao began to gradually lose control of the machine gun in his hand, and the battle was getting closer and closer, and Su Dao no longer chose to use the high-hit means of point fire to injure the Yue army, but chose the most unlevel strafing shot. There are more and more troops in front of them, and they are getting closer and closer, and at this time, point shooting can certainly bring more casualties to the Yue army, but among the crowds of Yue army, point shooting is obviously no longer able to meet the needs of so many people in the Yue army.

Su Dao could feel that the temperature of the machine gun of the pistol was rising sharply, and the frequency of bullet jamming was getting higher and higher, although Su Dao was very reluctant, but at this time he had no choice, if he did not replace the barrel in time, he would be more passive later. And this barrel, under Su Dao's deliberate suppression, has fired nearly 2,000 rounds of bullets in a row.

"Barrel." Su Daoyi took MG34 off his position, crouched behind the cover and shouted at the original machine gunner. Immediately, Su Dao quickly grabbed a handful of wet soil with his hand, so that it could be wrapped in the palm of his hand to prevent being burned by the fiery red barrel, and then continued the next action, Su Dao only took less than three seconds to quickly remove the barrel.

At this time, the machine gunner had just received a new barrel from the deputy shooter, and Su Dao, who had no time to wait, hurriedly snatched the barrel from the machine gunner's hand, installed it in three times and divided it by two, and then loaded a new chain of bullets and continued to shoot at the army, the whole process took less than ten seconds, and Su Dao changed the barrel at least half faster than other soldiers.

After that, the machine gunners of the 3rd Battalion began to change the barrel in large quantities, so that the firepower was somewhat reduced, but soon, when the machine guns after the barrel change appeared, they were waiting for them with a splash of bullets.

The third battalion suffered from the lack of artillery support, but it had strong individual firepower, while the fourth regiment's side was inferior to the third battalion in individual firepower, but fortunately it had artillery support, and the two sides were evenly matched. At this time, the army finally noticed that something was wrong, and it was getting more and more difficult to advance, and now every step forward had to be paid several soldiers. The enemy's firepower became more and more fierce, but the Yue army could only stay at a distance of about 100 meters and shoot at the Chinese defenders.

One side has cover, the other has nothing, and the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. The two sides continued to shoot at each other like this for about 10 minutes, and the pace of the Yue army's offensive finally showed some relaxation, and there were a large number of casualties, and the commander of the Yue army obviously found it difficult to accept this reality. He didn't expect his troops to encounter such a powerful enemy here, let alone that the defenders of Huaxia would be able to stop the charge of the imperial warriors.

Although the casualties on the part of the army were not small, the mortars and grenadiers of the army hiding in the rear stuffed the shells directly into the positions of the Chinese defenders, and the shells took the life of a famous soldier. In the end, the army left more than 400 corpses in front of the position of the third battalion, and the third battalion suffered about 200 casualties, more than 100 killed, more than a dozen seriously wounded, and dozens lightly wounded. The battle loss rate of the three battalions was also as high as more than 30 percent.

"It's so fucking exciting, this battle is called backbone." With an excited smile, Liu Sanpao walked down from the position and ran to Su Dao's side and shouted loudly.

"Liu Sanpao, I said that you kid is a little reserved, okay? After so many soldiers have been killed, do you still feel motivated? Sun Mingwu, the commander of the second company, scolded with a little sadness on his face, this battle was the largest casualty of the second company, and nearly 100 of the more than 200 casualties were from the second company.

Of course, this does not mean that the strength of the second company is not good, it can only be said that the luck of the second company today is really not good, and the grenadiers of the army have no chance to fire at all, so they were directly beaten into a hornet's nest by the machine gunners of the second company, but who would have thought? As soon as the grenadier was fired, the mortar followed, and then it was even more like taking care of the second company, otherwise the second company would not have suffered such a big loss.

"How many fighters are there that can move now?" Su Dao said slowly, although Su Dao was very anxious now, as the commander of the army, he could not leave the position during the war, which made Su Dao's idea of getting a few artillery pieces as soon as possible have to be put on hold for the time being.

"There are more than 500 soldiers who are not wounded, and more than 70 lightly wounded can reload the machine gunners below, although the speed is a little slower, but it is better than nothing." Zhang Zhong, the commander of the fourth company on the side, suddenly spoke.

"More than five hundred, what about the ammunition?" Su Dao was suddenly a little stunned, war is really the natural enemy of human beings, and in just two or three hours, he has taken away the lives of so many people under his command.

"The ammunition is still enough for us to last for a while, and even if the devil comes back three or four times to attack this scale, it will be enough for us to fight." Zhang Zhong thought about it and gave a more pertinent opinion.

"Let the machine gunner keep an eye on me ahead, and if I find out that the army wants to save the wounded on the battlefield, I will shoot them immediately." At present, the army will not attack in a short period of time, and it is true that more than 400 people have fallen on the battlefield, but not all of them are dead, and even half, or more than half, are wounded and fall to the ground.

Now what Su Dao needs to do is to organize the rear army troops to come to the rescue, if the wounded army is lucky, they can climb back by themselves, if they are unlucky, they can only stay on the position, waiting for the fate of losing too much blood and dying.

"Battalion Commander Su, Commander Sun asked you to go to the regiment headquarters immediately." As several people were talking, a communications soldier from the regiment headquarters ran directly to Su Dao and saluted, which was also the first time he exuded awe for Su Dao and the entire three battalions.
