Chapter 994: Seventeen Mighty!(I)

The difference between poor and rich is that you will know when the money is needed.

The Eighth Route Army was indeed poor, but, relatively speaking, the assault regiment was relatively wealthy.

The difference is clear in the simplest example: both the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment control one county, while the assault regiment controls three counties.

The difference between the strength of one regiment in one county and the strength of one regiment in three counties is definitely not as simple as one to three. Therefore, the strength of the assault regiment can definitely crush the independent regiment and the new regiment. Not to mention, the assault regiment now has five full battalions, each with a number of seven hundred and fifty men, and that's it, all carefully selected soldiers. And the militia has a solid foundation. On the other hand, although the independent regiment and the assault regiment claimed to have three battalions each, none of the battalions could be fully manned, and the militia was far from being comparable to the assault regiment.

To put it simply, if the independent regiment and the new regiment join forces to fight the assault regiment, the strategy and the like are not counted, just looking at the strength, I am afraid that these two regiments will have to be severely beaten by the assault regiment.

Not to mention anything else, just because of the big problem of eating, it is normal for all the officers and men of the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment not to eat meat once in half a year, and it is not uncommon for them to not have enough to eat. However, the assault regiment was often sent condolences such as wine and meat by the people of the three counties in turn, and the problem of eating had already been solved...... One side often went hungry, but the other never starved, that is, the individual strength alone was enough to crush both regiments.

(Don't underestimate the problem of eating, thinking that even if you don't have enough to eat in normal times, it's not the same to eat several meals in a row during the war?) If you don't have enough to eat for a long time, even if you eat a few full meals during wartime, you will not be able to fill up the long-term malnutrition because of these few meals. When fighting, you can rely on the blood and courage of the moment, and in a short time, you will not lose to the opponent in terms of strength. However, as long as it takes a long time, especially when it is a white-knuckle battle, there will definitely be a strength that cannot keep up...... If you are interested, you can take a look at books, movies, and television interviews with veterans, and so on, which basically mention a question: In white-knuckle warfare, why did the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army often have to take three to deal with a little devil? Although there are various reasons, the long-term lack of food is definitely one of the main reasons...... However, the Eighth Route Army at that time was indeed too difficult, the place was too barren, the people were too poor, and there were other reasons, so they knew that this was a big problem, but it could not be solved in a short period of time, so they could only rely on flesh and blood to make up for it. Therefore, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fought very hard and tragically, which is not something we can imagine in peacetime now. )

And for the assault regiment, affluence naturally has a rich style of play...... After the 77 Incident, the little devils were basically the victors during the war, so the arrogance they cultivated also reached their peak. And the general poverty of the Eighth Route Army is a fact, but even in such an environment, the commander of the artillery company dared to shout for an artillery battle with the little devil, which shows the strong self-confidence cultivated by the prosperity of the assault regiment and successive victories, otherwise, not everyone is qualified to dare to shout this sentence.

The ordinary Eighth Route Army, no matter who it fights with, basically adopts a melee fighting method: put the enemy closer to a distance of 30 to 50 meters and then slam it, and then, shoot two or three shots, and when the enemy rushes closer again, it will throw one or two waves over, and finally, take advantage of the explosion and the enemy to dodge, and at the same time the dust is flying, and the enemy's line of sight is blocked, launch a charge against the enemy, and directly engage in white-knuckle combat, so that the enemy's firepower advantage can not be brought into play...... This style of play may sound like nothing, but in fact, it is full of sadness and tears. Who doesn't want to strafe the enemy from a distance while maximizing their own safety, and who wants to put the enemy so close before fighting?

And for the assault regiment, there is no such need, especially when the assault regiment takes out all its family resources to fight with the little devils for this battle...... In the words of Peng Peng, commander of the fourth battalion, we have plenty of ammunition in this battle, so we should try our best to protect ourselves, even if we exchange a box of ammunition for our own safety, it is worth it -- a box of ammunition! How simple, but it fully reflects the hardships of the Eighth Route Army.

So, when the little devil began to attack Qinglong Mountain, and just when he raised his feet up the mountain, the gunshots rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Interestingly, at this time, only the 38 big covers seized from the little devil sounded, but nothing else sounded.

In this way, the little devils did not feel the power of the light machine guns and heavy machine guns of the fourth battalion, and the pressure was not great, so the little devils bowed down and attacked on their backs while shooting at the mountain.

However, everyone knows that this is only temporary, just like tempting them.

No matter how poor the Eighth Route Army is, there are still a few machine guns, especially for the much richer assault regiments, there are even a lot of machine guns, and even there are three mountain guns. At this time, they are all gone, and if you think about it with your ass, you can think that after they rush to a certain distance, the mountain will definitely be full of firepower, and at that time, it will be the real competition, and now, not even an appetizer, at most it can be regarded as sitting on the table, just picking up the chopsticks.

And the process of the little devil attacking all the way is like chopsticks picking vegetables, seeing that he is getting closer and closer to the target.

However, at this moment, the little devils no longer have the mind of getting closer to the goal and getting more excited, the pace is getting slower and slower, their faces are becoming more and more solemn, and their defensive hearts are getting higher and higher...... Everyone knows that the fist that doesn't go out is the most worrying thing, and now, the little devils are probably thinking like this -- God knows when the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army will shoot, and whether they will shoot themselves? No matter how brave a person is, in the face of such a strange scene, it is normal to have such thoughts.

However, in the end, the little devils have been baptized by militaristic thinking for a long time, especially the grassroots commanders.

No, ordinary little devils are getting slower and slower, which directly arouses the dissatisfaction of the grassroots commanders, so the grassroots commanders can only come forward to demonstrate in person while angrily reprimanding...... Seriously, in this way, although the grassroots commanders were exposed, it did improve the morale, at least, the attack speed of the little devils increased a lot.

However, the grassroots cadres and commanders of the little devils would never have imagined that for this battle, Zhang Qingshan left two squads of snipers for the fourth battalion, and specially selected fifty sharpshooters from the army. Then, Peng Peng, the commander of the fourth battalion, put these snipers and sharpshooters into a team of ten people, two people as a group, and put them in each company and platoon, the purpose of which was naturally to obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

As a result, the grassroots commanders of the little devils were out of luck...... Whether it is a sniper or a sharpshooter, the greatest purpose of its existence is to take out the enemy's commanders and machine gunners, including, of course, their enemy counterparts. Now, the grassroots commanders of the little devils themselves have taken the initiative to jump out, and I have to say that this is an unexpected coincidence and surprise.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

It's just that after this wave of gunfire passed, at least fifteen of the little devil's grassroots commanders fell.

However, the surviving little devil commander was also clever, and immediately gave up the spirit of bushido, bowed his head, bowed down, and hid in the crowd of little devils.

Time flies!

The little devil concentrated his forces on the stairs in the south of Qinglong Mountain and the trail in the northeast, attacking at the same time, almost at the same time, when he was only about fifty meters away from the first line of defense of Qinglong Mountain, the light and heavy machine guns that had worried the little devil for a long time finally appeared.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

"Wow!Wow!Wow......"

The sound of the rifle suddenly intensified, giving people the feeling that there were many people hidden, and the previous sparse gunfire was just to lure the little devil over, and then beat him when he got closer.

In the dense sound of rifles, light and heavy machine guns also fired at the same time, which instantly increased the loudness of the gunshots and the intensity of the bullets, but it gave people the feeling that this was a big trap, and they all wondered if the other party had seen the fruits of the harvest, so they would suddenly 'harvest' in unison.

However, no matter what, as soon as the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army sounded, although the little devils fell down in an instant, for the living little devils, at least the tight nerve line could be relaxed a little - the invisible enemy is the most terrible enemy, and the visible is naturally much better.

For a while, the firepower of the two sides fired at each other, bullets rained down, and screamed for a while, especially after the light and heavy machine gun bullets were fired, forming a silver color like flying, fiercely pounced on each other, harvesting lives.

At this time, He Qiqi led three platoons in a trench in the first line of defense in the northeast of Qinglong Mountain, and was beating the little devil fiercely.

Although He Qiqi ordered to shoot, at the beginning, he only ordered his comrades to shoot, but he himself did not shoot, because he was holding a box gun.

Compared with the 38 big cover, the bullets of the box cannon are relatively expensive, so He Qiqi waited until the little devil was only forty meters away from the defense line and fired.

I have to say that in the end, I have practiced marksmanship at home since I was a child, and at a distance of about forty meters, He Qiqi has completely achieved the point of two shots...... To tell the truth, when He Qiqi joined the assault regiment, it really caused a little sensation, just because he performed within thirty meters, box cannon incense, one shot, five shots in succession, and the gun hit the accurate marksmanship. And Peng Peng, in order to prevent the assault company from pulling He Seventeen away, entangled Zhang Qingshan for three days, which shows its value.

"Click!

Hearing the sound of the gunshot, He Qiqi immediately changed*.

However, as soon as he changed it*, he saw a heavy machine gun bullet sweeping in, He Qiqi hurriedly dodged, but heard the sound of machine guns next to him suddenly mute, and at the same time, a heavy object pressed on his calf.

He Qiqi looked down and was furious......
