Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Captain, do you think we should leave some Japanese soldiers behind so that the new recruits can experience hand-to-hand combat?" Zhu Dantong asked.

"Forget it, it's not worth it. Besides, the recruits have only been trained in bayonet fighting for a short time, so they won't gain any advantage by rushing in! So, let's solve it with bullets! By the way, that little tank is not smoking, who hit it?" Chen Changsheng noticed a little tank that was not smoking.

"It was Xiao Ning who shot. At that time, four tanks rushed up the hillside and were approaching our position. As a result, Xiao Ning fired two shots, killing the driver and the machine gunner, and the tanks just crashed there! As for the remaining three, because time was urgent, the soldiers fired without waiting for Xiao Ning to shoot, and they were pierced by rocket launchers!" said Zhu Dantong.

"Not bad, not bad. The soldiers already know what is most important on the battlefield, and they know how to seize the opportunity to fight!" Chen Changsheng praised: "The Japanese mobilized 4 tanks to rush up, and their purpose is obviously to rush up the mountain ridge and sweep across your position! Look at the position of the tanks. There was not enough time at that time. You were able to decisively destroy these tanks instead of thinking about capturing them. This is very good!"

"Once the soldiers hesitate and think about seizing the tanks, they will not be so decisive in their actions and the tanks may rush up! Not much more. Once a tank rushes to the position and the machine gunners shoot, it will be impossible for you to hold the position without suffering some casualties! In that case, there will be no current battle situation! Not bad, not bad. When I came, some people said that you guys didn't feel bad for selling your father's land. That's because you have no battlefield experience and don't know what is most important on the battlefield!" said Chen Changsheng.

"Captain, our guerrilla comrades are very different from our former comrades! Especially the fighters who joined later, their ideas are more different!" Zhu Dantong said: "This is probably related to the environment in which they grew up and fought! Think about it, whether we were in the Soviet area, the Long March, northern Shaanxi, or fighting the Japanese after crossing the Yellow River, we never had enough bullets!"

"Don't even mention training bullets. We only have so many bullets for combat! What about now? Every recruit in this recent batch has at least 50 training bullets. Even though they are reloaded bullets from the brigade, they are still real bullets, right? There are also all kinds of weapons, rocket launchers, mortars, grenade launchers... They have never been poor. They grew up in a much wealthier environment than us!"

"So, when these guys fight, they always use artillery shells instead of bullets, and they don't use bayonets when they can use bullets and grenades! This idea is probably deeply rooted! Well, this was Captain Peregrine's idea at the time, and now it has been realized!"

"Haha, that's true, but it's a good thing, isn't it? Of course, we also need to control the bullet consumption of the recruits. Look at that idiot, he doesn't even know how to aim. Do you think you're a peregrine falcon, just raising your gun and shooting?"

A captain and a company commander were hiding behind a ridge and chatting on the fierce front line. They even lit a cigarette and smoked. Something seemed wrong.

However, the veterans and new soldiers on the ridge looked back and felt relieved! The fact that these two were talking and laughing meant that the battle was stable. What's the big deal?
Who is commanding the battle? Isn't it the commander of the 4th Company, Lin Fangbing? The battlefield cannot be without a commander!
In fact, the battle has been going on for a long time, and victory is not far away, or even in sight! The 4th Company has come up, and together with the 3rd Company, they have already surpassed the enemy's strength in numbers! Of course, before the 4th Company came up, the enemy's strength was already small, only about 100 or so.

Why? Why else? The heavy machine guns are not playing around, they are really killing the devils. If they hit their arms or legs, they will be amputated! There are also snipers, precision shooters, light machine guns, etc. Of course, there are also the unlucky devils that the new recruits occasionally hit...

In short, the more the Japs rushed forward, the fewer of them there were, so much so that the mortar platoon on the East Mountain stopped bombing because the cost was really not worth it!

"I'm going to die..." On the hillside, 120 meters away from the ridge front line, the last few Japanese soldiers, holding Type rifles, looked ahead with a grin, and still marched upwards with big strides.

At this moment, these devils probably knew what their fate would be, but they still did not retreat or surrender. They only moved forward with their weapons. This was much better than France and Italy!
The result was already predetermined, so there were no surprises. The battle that was supposed to end soon ended! With the crisp sound of semi-automatic gunfire, blood flowers burst out from the bodies of these devils, and they were actually focused on by everyone! Well, it’s better this way, they will die faster, so as not to be injured but not dead, which will only increase the pain! "Cease fire across the board!" Lin Fangbing issued a cease-fire order.

Soon, the battlefield became quiet, with only the mountain wind blowing from the north, bringing a strong smell of blood, which made the recruits' stomachs churn.

At the foot of the mountain, in a straight area from more than 100 meters to more than 700 meters, there were scattered Japanese corpses in various postures. Occasionally, there were a few Japanese soldiers twitching a few times, probably the wounded waiting to die.

Rumble... The engines of some of the tanks were still roaring. This was probably because one of them was hit by a rocket, but the engine was not damaged.

"Count the casualties! Snipers, precision shooters, aim at the suspicious targets at the foot of the mountain, and shoot again!" Lin Fangbing shouted loudly, causing sporadic gunfire to resound on the battlefield. This was not the time to be afraid of wasting bullets. The more safety, the safer. Human life is precious.

"Report to the captain, there are no casualties in the 3rd Company, but there are 32 wounded, including 26 new recruits who were shot, with some injured in the arms and shoulders! There are no casualties in the 4th Company, but there are 5 injured new recruits and no veterans!" The casualty situation was reported to Chen Changsheng.

"That's great! Although the Japs' counterattack firepower is not that strong, they are still Japs after all, and the new recruits are still new recruits. It's great to have this situation!" After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he glanced down the mountain and said, "Arrange people to clean up the battlefield! Telephone soldier, call the company commander and tell him that he can clean up the battlefield!"

After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he took a telescope and looked towards the bend of the river valley in the north. There was a large group of militiamen there, and some corpses of puppet soldiers were scattered along the way.

"Oh, these are the puppet soldiers who escaped, right? They became live targets and sparring partners for our militia!" Chen Changsheng nodded with satisfaction...

An hour passed and the battlefield here was basically cleaned up. A call was made to the detachment headquarters in Liangjia Village, and Chen Changsheng reported the situation.

"Signage soldier, send a telegram to the main regiment and ask about their situation?" Zhao Danian shouted to the signalman on Jigongling.

"Yes, Captain!" The signalman began to send and receive telegrams, and then gave Zhao Danian a message: The first regiment has not made any movement yet! (End of this chapter)
