On the way here, Xia Yuan had already expected the other party to say this, and Platoon Commander Zhao hyped up how many Japanese troops they had eliminated last night, which attracted the attention of many people, but more people thought that they were talking big, but the weapons and equipment they were carrying proved something all the time.

The Japanese machine-gun fire point is very difficult to deal with, unless the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devil is blown up, which will cause the machine gun of the Japanese devil to be damaged, and it is very difficult to capture a complete and undamaged Japanese devil machine gun on the battlefield.

Two crooked heavy machine guns, a number of machine gun rounds, these alone are enough to prove that what they say has a certain credibility.

The Japanese detachment was equivalent to a squad, and it was the smallest tactical position in the War Department of the Japanese invasion of China.

1 infantry detachment of the Japanese army had 13 people, including the detachment leader (squad leader), 4 machine gunners and 8 riflemen.

There is a light machine gun with a crew of 4 people, namely the team leader, the shooter, and 2 auxiliary shooters with ammunition, all equipped with self-defense pistols, and sometimes carrying rifles in battle. The remaining 8 riflemen were divided into 2 combat groups, each with 1 single-shot rifle. The detachment leader (squad leader) is a military cao or a military commander. The class had 8 rifles, 1 light machine gun, and 4 pistols. Among the specially reinforced troops, the reinforced squad will be equipped with one more 50 mm grenadier carried by two people.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yuan said: "Sir, we have eliminated three Japanese detachments and captured a lot of good things. ”

"Two Japanese light machine guns have proven what you said, but it is not ruled out that there is a possibility of luck, in addition to the Japanese light machine guns, is there anything else?"

Qiu Xingxiang looked Xia Yuan up and down, dressed in Japanese-style equipment, carrying a bulging bag behind him, and the bedding was also captured by the Japanese army.

He knew in his heart that the equipment of the recruit camp was like that, when the battlefield was cleaned, it was dragged down from the battlefield, stained with blood, and with rancid smell, and it was all taken to the ditch to soak, washed casually, and then dried, and when new recruits joined the regiment, they were brought to the recruits to use.

The same is true of weapons and equipment, some weapons and equipment can't even be bolted, the internal parts are rusty, and when they go to the battlefield, they often explode, and the recruit battalion takes such weapons and equipment, and when they go to the battlefield, without exception, they are all cannon fodder.

Therefore, he admired Xia Yuan very much, it was a very difficult process to start from scratch, especially with such a group of recruits who had no combat effectiveness.

As for why it wasn't Platoon Commander Zhao, Platoon Commander Zhao had investigated, fought warlord melee for several years, didn't get any medals, and the people in the company were almost dead, so he was a platoon commander, and the newly replenished soldiers were also killed and wounded, how could such a person take them to destroy the Japanese troops of three detachments.

It was even more impossible for others, but Xia Yuan showed that it was like the backbone of the five people.

He was looking forward to Xia Yuan being able to come up with more things, the more things he took out, the more accurate his ideas were, of course, if the other party's things were picked up from the battlefield, he had another way.

"I don't know what the chief wants? Since the commanders have said that we have proved what I said with a crooked light machine gun, then I took out other things that mean that I took more from the Japanese devils. ”

Xia Yuan was not afraid of Qiu Xingxiang at all, his tone was very calm and calm, and his brain was spinning very fast.

Commander Qiu Xingxiang came out of the Whampoa Military Academy and saw many young talents, but few of them were able to take a few soldiers to eliminate the three detachments of Japanese devils on the battlefield, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was far above that of the national army, and even those German armorers who had been trained by the Germans still had a huge gap with the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment.

This gap is not something that can be easily bridged.

Having seen the ferocity of the Japanese army and the defeat of the soldiers of the National Army, not only Qiu Xingxiang himself, but also many soldiers of the National Army, and even the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, admired heroes very much.

Therefore, when he heard that someone had taken a few recruits and eliminated three detachments of Japanese troops, he was very curious and even felt a trace of excitement.

If what the other party said was true, he didn't mind rewarding the soldier vigorously.

"Interesting and interesting, Lao Sun, look at this soldier, when facing us, he is not panicked at all, hahahaha." Qiu Xingxiang smiled happily, the more this soldier behaved like this, the more it confirmed the inference in his heart, "Okay, I don't have to ask you what else you have taken, but I want to confirm that last night, the attack direction of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 401st Regiment was Qiao's house, where a small team of Japanese troops was stationed, the geographical location was not good, for the Japanese army, it was a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for us, it was very difficult to attack, I contacted the 18th Brigade of the 6th Division that took over the defense of the 401st Regiment and the 397th Regiment. ”

"This Qiao's house is also the direction of their attack, I'll give you a company, if you can knock down Qiao's house today with the least casualties, I'll let you be the company commander."

Xia Yuan's heart jumped, he looked up at Qiu Xingxiang, and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”

"Hahahaha, I speak, naturally take it seriously, but if there are conditions, you can knock down Qiao's house with minimal casualties." Qiu Xingxiang laughed out loud and said: "A squad of the Japanese army consists of three detachments and a grenadier detachment equipped with three grenadiers, with a total of 54 people. When the configuration was strengthened, each detachment was 15 people, and one grenadier was reinforced, and the entire squad was 62 people. The Japanese army in Qiao's house is a squad of more than 60 people, equipped with a large number of grenadiers, at least two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and five crooked light machine guns. ”

"Good!" Xia Yuan's eyes lit up, "Leave a position as a battalion commander for me, you don't need a company, just a platoon." ”

Ha, it's a surprise, it's done, I have the status of a battalion commander in the regular army, which is a good deal.

"Old Sun, platoon my guards to him." Qiu Xingxiang is in a heroic mood, if he is really a talent, he must not let it go.

"Tuanza." Adjutant Sun thought that Qiu Xingxiang's behavior was a bit reckless, a platoon of more than 30 people went to fight a squad of Japanese devils, and the combat level of the Japanese army was obvious to all.

He looked at Xia Yuan, this guy is really not afraid to flash his waist when he says big things.

A Japanese squad, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, five crooked handles, and more than three grenadiers, such an equipment configuration requires at least one battalion of troops, and it may not be enough. And he went so far as to say that only one platoon is needed.

"Do it right away!" Head Qiu waved his hand, and Adjutant Sun had to do it. After a while, more than 30 soldiers armed with Steng submachine guns were neatly arranged, and their equipment was luxurious, worthy of being the guard squad of Regiment Commander Qiu.

"Then you're welcome." Xia Yuan laughed and stepped forward to look at the guard platoon in front of him.

"Commander, this." The guard platoon leader's surname is Qiu, his name is Qiu Zhengfu, and he is the cousin of the head of the regiment Qiu, and he can be trusted to let him be the commander of the guard platoon.

Head Qiu said, "In the next time, you must follow his orders. ”

Qiu Zhengfu looked at the guy in front of him who didn't know which horn came out of it, his mind didn't turn for a while, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Commander, are we going to perform some mission?" ”

Commander Qiu nodded and said: "Well, a small team of Japanese soldiers is stationed in Qiao's house, and your task is to take down Qiao's house, Xia Yuan, a recruit in the new barracks in Yudi, you are temporarily under his command." ”

Qiu Zhengfu was even more confused, the task of the guard platoon has always been to protect the regiment commander as the core, and now they are actually going outside to carry out the mission. He glanced at Xia Yuan, his brain was buzzing, recruits from the Yudi Recruit Battalion? What are you kidding, they have to follow the orders of a recruit from the Yudi New Barracks.

"Commander, you're not kidding, are you, we have to listen to his orders?"

Qiu Zhengfu asked again in disbelief.

"Well, follow his orders, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Head Qiu smiled and shouted, "Xia Yuan, come here." ”

"Hey." Xia Yuan walked over, glanced at Qiu Zhengfu, and saw that the other party was also looking at him, and he had a spectrum in his heart.

"This is the guard platoon leader, Qiu Zhengfu." Head Qiu gave a brief introduction, and said: "If you are not satisfied, just mention it, I will give you the bottom." ”

"Regiment commander, a recruit can take us to fight Qiaojiagou, don't be kidding, last night three companies fought all night, but they didn't even touch the forward position, the company commanders of those companies are all nervous, this kid looks so young, and he is a recruit, why did he take us to fight Qiaojiagou."

Qiu Zhengfu immediately heard the meaning of Commander Qiu's words, and immediately turned to look at the brothers in the guard platoon: "Big guy said, isn't it?" ”

"Yes!"

"Regiment commander, we are not convinced, he is a new soldier, why do you want us to listen to him."

"That's it, the three companies didn't take down Qiaojiagou, let us fight one platoon, and follow a recruit egg, regiment commander, we are not afraid of death, but we don't want to follow him like this."

The more than thirty people in the guard platoon immediately howled, looking at Xia Yuan's eyes, becoming more and more unkind.

Seeing this scene, Head Qiu felt that it was almost over, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, each grievance is not small, this is an order, what's the matter, is it to prepare for heaven?" ”

After reprimanding the soldiers of the guard platoon, he turned to look at Xia Yuan, "Xia Yuan, these guard platoons of mine are all good soldiers in a million, and their marksmanship is all first-class, and it is certain that they will not admit defeat." ”

Xia Yuan's heart moved, this is to show how thick his wrists are, if they are not thick, they really can't take them.

He smiled: "Regiment leader, just a platoon, you don't need to be so troublesome." And you don't need to test me. ”

After that, he took out a grenade from his arms, and when everyone saw it, they were shocked, the muzzle of the submachine gun of the guard platoon was aimed at Xia Yuan, and the soldiers of the guard platoon blocked in front of Commander Qiu.

"Don't be nervous, the Japanese devil's 91-style grenade has a good insurance ability." Xia Yuan said, and threw the grenade out hard, and the grenade drew a long parabola in the sky, and everyone looked at the grenade that flew farther and farther, and they all looked at Xia Yuan in shock.

Is this guy still human? Can drop a grenade so far.

They looked at Xia Yuan, only to see this guy unhurriedly set up the muzzle of the gun, aiming at the black spot in the distance, and slammed the shot, everyone hurriedly looked, only to see that the black spot in the distance was hit by something invisible, shattered, and scattered in the air.

There was no picture of the explosion as imagined, but the flying grenade was directly destroyed by the bullets of the 38 big cover.

Shocked, stunned, everyone was stunned, watching in disbelief at the dust drifting in the sky, dissipating into the air.

Qiu Zhengfu was dumbfounded, opened his mouth for a long time, and was stunned for a long time.

Shooting a grenade that flew so far with a bullet, the former and the latter gave them a huge shock.

The soldiers of the guard platoon were even more stunned for a long time, watching the gunpowder drift around and gradually disappear after the grenade in the sky was shattered, and they looked at Xia Yuan in disbelief.

"Good! Good! Hahahaha! Awesome, I've never seen a soldier who can fight so accurately, you're the first one I've ever seen! Captain Qiu laughed, looking extremely happy, the more Xia Yuan showed such strength, the more he was able to prove that they had done it by eliminating the three Japanese detachments.

It is even possible to knock down Qiao's house.

Adjutant Sun walked out from behind the soldier, looked at the gunpowder dust that dissipated in the distance, turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, with a bit of admiration in his eyes, he no longer underestimated this soldier.

"I don't have anything to say, then let's go, I'm waiting for your good news, if you really want to knock down Qiao's house, why not give you a battalion commander." Commander Qiu was in a good mood, but he didn't expect to accidentally pick up a treasure from the battlefield.

The marksmanship is so powerful, when it comes to the battlefield, sniping the commander of the little Japanese devil will have a faster effect than directly hitting the attacking troops of the little Japanese devil.

"Commander Qiu, I don't need a battalion commander, just give me a company commander."

Xia Yuan knew that most of the officials in the national army were brothers-in-law, family relationships, and he was a farmer who came out of the village, and suddenly had the official position of battalion commander, I don't know how many people's malice would be aroused, and secondly, the battalion commander managed hundreds of people, and now it was the critical period of the Battle of Songhu, and when there was the most shortage of people, this battalion commander would eventually become a false name.

It's not as good as a company commander, even if you give yourself a platoon, if you have a little people, you can take a little people to fight the Japanese devils.

The position of the company commander is not big or small, just right, just right.

Powerful, not greedy.

This is Commander Qiu's evaluation of Xia Yuan in his heart, if it is someone else, he would like to pull the higher the rank, the better, Xia Yuan only needs a company commander.

"Okay, take Qiao's house, and I'll give you the position of company commander!"

"Forget about this guard platoon, it's too precious, don't get used to it."
