Time passes.

The fighters of the 5th Regiment and the Independent Regiment continued to pursue the retreating Japanese brigade.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry company of the independent regiment, two legs could not outrun four legs after all.

Viewed from God's point of view, the cavalry company soldiers are like a pack of wolves, constantly chasing after the prey, nibbling on two bites, letting the prey run for a certain distance, and then chasing them again, continuing to nibble on two bites.

It is not fatal at one time, but it is like a frog boiled in warm water, constantly eating away at the strength of the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency, if this continues, our casualties will become bigger and bigger, and we may even be completely annihilated by this Eighth Route Army, please make a decision immediately!"

The devil's adjutant panicked, and in less than twenty minutes, with the frantic pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese brigade killed nearly 100 soldiers again.

The entire Japanese brigade, including the Japanese squadron that was destroyed by the Independent Regiment and the 5th Regiment on the western slope, had already suffered more than half of the casualties at this time.

The captain of the devil brigade also realized that it was time for life and death.

The Imperial Brigade has shown signs of defeat, both in artillery and in strength, it has fallen into a disadvantage.

He nodded, and immediately ordered: "Let the uninjured soldiers of the Tani Squadron stay behind and block the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army pursuing on the flank, as well as the Eighth Route Army troops pursuing on the back." ”

The captain of the devil brigade wants to survive with a broken arm, and it is better to sacrifice a squadron than to annihilate the whole army.

"Hey!"

The devil's adjutant responded, turned around and went to arrange, and the Japanese army team quickly divided into two routes, and the remaining Japanese squadron leader Tanino divided the remaining 100 soldiers of his squadron into two routes, blocking the pursuing Eighth Route Army from the flank and back respectively.

The captain of the devil brigade led the remaining more than 200 devils and continued to flee in a panic.

At this moment, all the bullshit strategic transfer was thrown to the country of Clawwa.

The Devil Brigade Captain has only one thought: Escape, the Imperial Brigade must not be destroyed here!

After the break, Tanino's squadron soon began to engage with the cavalry company of the independent regiment and the fifth regiment.

The leader of the devil squadron, Tanino, was very clear about his mission, and when he blocked the pursuing Eighth Route Army, he chose to fight without his life.

A two-way defensive offensive on the flanks and on the back was formed on the spot.

Then concentrate the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers left behind by the brigade to launch a blockade against the pursuing Eighth Route Army.

Tanino's squadron also had four heavy machine guns in their hands, which were the last remaining heavy weapons of the entire Japanese army.

Originally, there were a total of 12 heavy machine guns in the entire Japanese brigade, and the two carried by the squadron on the western slope were captured by the 5th Regiment.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun in the hands of the Japanese army was nearly 30 kilograms empty, and the gun carriage was nearly 30 kilograms, with a total weight of more than 110 kilograms.

In addition, in the tense battle, most of them are transported by manpower, often two soldiers are difficult to carry, and the speed of transportation is even slower, and this kind of heavy weapons will even drag down the mobility of the whole team.

In the pursuit of the 5th Regiment and the cavalry company, the Japanese lost a few heavy machine guns, plus a few were blown up by the 50 small guns of the Independent Regiment, and the last four were left at this moment.

The Japanese brigade was in a hurry to evacuate, so naturally it would not bring these heavy machine guns, so it was left to Tanino's squadron, which was just used to break off the rear and block the pursuing Eighth Route Army.

Tanino ordered four heavy machine guns, relying on gentle slope fortifications, to be built on four separate points to form crossfire in the direction without dead angles to block the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The suddenly emerging Tanino squadron counterattacked strongly, and the ferocious firepower really made the pursuing Fifth Regiment and Independent Regiment troops stagnate.

Kong Jie and Commander Feng, who led the team, hurriedly ordered to stop continuing the charge.

The warriors went around to hide.

"The devil's machine gun fire is fierce, and with the help of the gentle slope to build fortifications, the dozens of meters before the gentle slope of the charge area, a flat, almost no dead angle for shooting, rushing up, casualties are definitely unavoidable."

"Lao Feng, after the small cannon knocks out the devil's heavy machine gun, let's continue the pursuit." Kong Jie said.

Regiment Commander Feng nodded, looked at the Japanese troops blocking behind the gentle slope from the telescope, and the Japanese troops who were still retreating further behind, frowned and said:

"Lao Kong, the little devil is forced to be in a hurry, leaving this broken rear army, it seems that he wants to survive with a broken arm."

Kong Jie smiled: "That's no way, poor Kou Mo chases, most of the devils can escape are light infantry, and the troops who stay behind to block the attack have a lot of heavy weapons at hand, and if they can eat this team, our battle will not be in vain." ”

"If you want to completely annihilate the Japanese army, how can it be so easy?"

Head Feng agreed, "It's this reason, the devil in front of me can't let them run anymore, I took the opportunity to lead the two teams to make a detour." ”

Kong Jie responded: "Okay! ”

"Monk, is the artillery in place?"

"Report to the regimental commander, the small artillery platoon is already in place." The monk responded.

Kong Jie said: "Order the small artillery platoon to immediately suppress the Japanese position, knock out the devil's heavy machine gun for me, and cover the comrades of the fifth regiment with firepower." ”

"Yes!"

Then, Kong Jie turned his head and shouted: "Comrades, listen to me, the devil's machine gun and pistol skills are not bad, as long as the devil's light and heavy machine gun points are not knocked out, no one is allowed to show my head, and increase casualties in vain, we can't do this loss-making business." ”

"First battalion commander."

"Here!" The commander of the first battalion of the fifth regiment answered and hurriedly ran over.

When Commander Feng led people to make a detour from both sides, he explained that the command of the remaining troops was given to Commander Kong.

Kong Jie said: "The devil's light and heavy machine gun fire blockade, we can't launch an attack now, and under such firepower, we can't guarantee the safety of the infantry."

Infantry at long distances are even more unnecessary, it is a pure waste of bullets.

In this way, how many top shooters do you have in the 5th Regiment? ”

The troops of the Eighth Route Army will conduct training while fighting.

According to the training regulations issued by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, those who shoot horizontally at a distance of 150 meters and hit more than 16 rings in two shots will be designated as a special marksman.

But in fact, because of the lack of ammunition, these special shooters born among the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army did not experience much live-ammunition practice.

The soldiers learned the theory of shooting aiming, firing check, and simple shooting, as well as implementing field preparation and implementing a daily aiming system.

What is the aiming system?

Holding the gun, aiming at the bull's-eye, there are no bullets in the shotgun, so I aim to find a feeling, and by the way, practice the stability of the gun.

It is not until the second half of the year that the fighters receive a live firing with only two rounds.

I feel that the practice is almost over, and then I will take the top shooter shooting assessment.

To put it simply, in the Eighth Route Army, where ammunition is scarce, it would be good for the soldiers to practice with two live ammunition a year.

As for this shabby and helpless training method, when can the soldiers be able to hit targets from a distance of 150 meters and hit more than 16 rings with two bullets, it will mostly depend on talent.

The top shooter who can stand out in this situation is definitely good in terms of talent.

"Special Marksman ......" The first battalion commander said with a wry smile: "Commander Kong, our fifth regiment has only been formed, although since the establishment of the unit, the regiment commander has always insisted on leading the whole regiment for training, but until now, there are not many special marksmen, and there are only twelve people in the whole regiment. ”

I don't even have the opportunity to shoot in real combat in a year, and it would be nice to have twelve top marksmen.

In Kong Jie's opinion, these top marksman fighters are absolutely extremely talented, and what they are short of is only training and stage.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's a lot, in this way, the first battalion commander, lend me these twelve special shooters of your regiment." ”

"Don't worry, you will never let your fifth regiment suffer, these comrades will come empty-handed, guns and bullets, I will prepare them for them."

"I'll give them back to you when the battle is over."

The commander of the first battalion didn't think much about it and responded: "Yes."

Soon, twelve people were brought to Kong Jie.

Looking at the twelve top shooters of the Fifth Regiment with their waists in front of Kong Jie, the first battalion commander also had pride on his face.

"Commander Kong, these were all rare sharpshooters in our respective companies, and they were all covered by our company commander like a treasure in the company, and they never dared to let them charge into battle, so this battle has been fought until now, you look at them, they are all embarrassed, and I will hand them over to you."

Kong Jie smiled: "Don't worry, I will return a lot of them to your fifth regiment." ”

As he spoke, Kong Jie said to the twelve top marksmen, "You come with me." ”

After taking the twelve top marksmen to the left flank, under a more remote and hidden dirt slope, and after waiting for a while, the monk came over with some warriors, who were carrying guns on their backs.

"Commander, the rifle you want!" The monk said.

Kong Jie nodded, looked at the twelve special marksman soldiers with a look of anticipation, and said with a smile: "Give the guns to the comrades." ”

"Yes!" The monk answered, and led the soldiers to issue guns to the twelve special marksmen, each with a standard rifle.

When the gun arrived, looking at the almost brand-new rifle in his hand, the twelve top marksmen were all full of joy, and then looked at the rifle in his hand, which was neither made by Hanyang nor 38 Dagai.

Then, without explaining anything, Kong Jie took the twelve special marksmen and felt from the flank of the battlefield towards a gentle slope on higher ground not far away.

On the way, Kong Jie asked, "Do you know what kind of gun this is?" ”

One of them replied: "Commander Kong, I know, this is a little devil's four-four rifle rifle. ”

"How's this gun?" Kong Jie asked again.

"Absolutely good gun, it is a standard rifle for the devil's cavalry, and its performance is better than the devil's 38 Gai'er."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "You are not wrong in saying this, the barrel length of this Type 44 rifle is nearly 300 millimeters shorter than the barrel length of the Type 38 rifle, but in terms of effective range, it is not only not smaller than the Type 38 rifle, but it is 40 meters farther than the effective range of the Type 38 rifle. ”

"This four-four rifle is the best rifle the devils have made for their cavalry."

"The folding spear with the attached spear is a performance that very few rifles can have on the battlefield, just press the button here, and the bayonet can be quickly ejected, allowing the user to use the bayonet on the battlefield in the shortest possible time."

"This makes it easier for cavalry to take advantage of high-speed mobility and quickly engage in hand-to-hand combat."

"Not only that, this infantry rifle is more stable when shooting, and it is more suitable for long-distance shooting, plus the barrel is shorter, which is suitable for shooters to conceal."

"How's that, like it?"

"Like—" The top shooters replied in unison.

Kong Jie said: "Come less, if you like me, I won't give it to you in vain." ”

Top Shooters: "......"

"Who doesn't want such a good gun? It's not impossible to give it to you, but it depends on your own ability, there is this rule in our independent regiment, if you are able to eat meat, if you are not patient, you will not even worry about soup.

In this way, after the battle begins in a while, it is okay to kill two devil officers and above, or artillerymen and machine gunners, and I will give you this gun.

If you don't complete the task, don't think I'm stingy as a regiment commander when the time comes, people are gone, you have to leave this gun for me. ”

Kong Jie used the radical method, "How about it, do you have this ambition?" ”

One person replied: "Commander Kong, I didn't say this, I'm going to make up my mind for you to ride a gun!" ”

"Good boy, what's your name?" Kong Jie asked, and the young man who answered was the soldier who had been the first to recognize the 44-style rifle.

"Yellow Poplar." The young warrior replied.

Kong Jiele said: "A sharpshooter who pierces Yang in a hundred steps, one bullet and one enemy, this name is good, what a Huang Baiyang." ”

While admiring, Kong Jie said to the accompanying monk: "Monk, give everyone bullets." ”

"Yes!" The monk responded.

"Comrades, you are the best marksmen of the Fifth Regiment, and now I am lending you from the Fifth Regiment, and before the end of the combat mission, you will be my Kong Jie's soldiers.

I, Kong Jie, will definitely not be stingy with my own soldiers, with a gun, there will naturally be no shortage of bullets, do you know how many bullets I will give to each of you? ”

Huang Baiyang and his entourage shook their heads and looked at Kong Jie expectantly.

Kong Jie's face was calm, first two fingers were erected, and then two more fingers were stretched out.

One "two", one "four".

"Twenty-four bullets! That's a lot! Top shooter Huang Baiyang said.

Kong Jie shook his head.

Su Zhengqiang, a veteran of the special shooter, was stunned, "Could it be that there are only six bullets?" Captain Kong, is this too little? ”

The monk on the side really couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded with a smile: "Who do you think of the head of my family?" Anyway, he's also a top shooter, six bullets? Let me tell you, the soldiers of our independent regiment have no less than 30 bullets per person, even the brothers of the cooking class, they still have one or twenty in their pockets when they are fine! ”

Kong Jie was embarrassed to speak, and the monk bragged about it.

"Thirty is still !! number of bullets per capita"

The top marksmen of the Fifth Regiment were stunned for a moment.

The veteran Su Zhengqiang said: "Company Commander Wei, I heard that your independent regiment now has nearly 3,000 troops, if there are thirty bullets per capita, how many bullets will it take?" ”

The monk said: "Three thousand soldiers, you are the old Huang Li, right?" Speaking of which, I'm not afraid to scare you to death, our independent regiment is now almost 5,000 troops. ”

Hearing this, Huang Baiyang and his entourage were even more shocked.

Huang Baiyang, who came back to his senses, asked, "Company Commander Wei, how many bullets can each of us fire this time?" ”

The monk dug his nostrils and said casually: "Didn't the head of my family say that there are two hundred and forty bullets?" ”

Huang Baiyang and his party: "......"

The breathing of the twelve people became a little rapid, and it was fucking poverty that limited the imagination.

Who would have thought that the two fingers that Commander Kong first erected, and then the four fingers that were erected, would mean this?

Two hundred and forty rounds of ammunition!

They didn't dare to think so, and the bullets issued by the machine guns in the regiment were about the same number, right?
