Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The same answer was heard in the trenches on both sides. They were all veterans who had fought in several battles but had no kills recorded!
The lack of kill records does not mean that the veterans have poor military skills. Sometimes fighting also depends on a little bit of luck. After all, everyone is shooting, and there are those unlucky ones who raise their guns, just select an enemy, and then find that they are killed by their comrades, and then select another one, and they are killed again...

So, today, in order to take care of them and delay the battle, these soldiers were allowed to take the lead in the first wave of firing.

Zou Ming led the 5th Company of the main regiment. Because time was tight, with the help of comrades from the entire regiment, they only built two simple fortifications in front and behind the hill where they were located. They were not very solid, and there were no high-end facilities such as anti-gun pits. The reason why it was simple was that they just dug a shallow trench and brought sandbags from the Nanchuan River in the east to pile in front of the trench.

Of course, such trenches, coupled with being located on top of a hill with a reverse slope behind them, still had some defensive capabilities. Moreover, compared to the puppet troops who were exposed in the wilderness, they had trenches to stand on, sandbags to block bullets, and shooting and observation holes in the sandbag walls, which gave them a firm upper hand.

And there is another problem here, that is, the Japanese's usual trick, that is, bombarding with artillery fire before attacking, did not happen today, which clearly sent these puppet soldiers down the mountain to their deaths. As for the Japanese finding a nearby hilltop and occupying a high ground? Sorry, there is a relatively open farmland to the north of Zou Ming and his team's position, and the Japanese have no place to occupy.

Of course, there is a small hill in the large space in the middle of the trumpet mouth, but the Japanese knew that there were two hills occupied by the Eighth Route Army on both sides, and they would be stupid to go there and be attacked from both sides. Therefore, the Japanese did not have many choices, and all this was calculated by Li Yunlong and Zheng Changfeng.

Time was still passing slowly, and the puppet soldiers were constantly testing and moving forward. Finally, after 5 minutes, they reached the 200-meter distance of the crossfire line.

At the far left end of the 5th Company trench, Zhang Ke was kneeling in the trench, with the trench under his legs and the upper half of his body protected by the sandbag wall. He leaned his left shoulder against the sandbag, and there were two sandbags placed side by side in front of his head, which were enough to block the bullets of the Type heavy machine gun. The muzzle of his gun was sticking out from the shooting hole on the right side of his body, and the crosshairs were also aimed at the chest of a puppet soldier.

"It's so close?" Captain He, the puppet army leader who was still outside the 400-meter line, suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Where are our heavy machine guns? Where are our light machine guns? Start fighting and cover the brothers in front!" Not far away, the voice of Captain Gao of the puppet army came. Captain He then remembered that he had forgotten that he had machine guns to suppress the enemy!
So, under the orders of the two men, when the puppet soldiers entered the preset firefighting distance of the 5th Company, the puppet soldiers' machine guns finally sounded, and even many puppet soldiers opened fire at this side.

The gunshot did not scare the soldiers of the 5th Company, but it frightened the puppet soldiers of the attacking squadron. Several of them quickly lay down and lay tightly on the ground.

Bang... Just at this moment, Zhang Ke's gunshot rang out, but it was avoided by the puppet soldier he was aiming at who lay down.

"I fuck your ancestors!" Zhang Ke was about to record the killing of the enemy, but in addition to this, he cursed the ancestors of the puppet army in a standard Shanxi accent. However, Zhang Ke was a veteran after all, and although he seemed to have bad luck, he also had the necessary reactions, such as slightly lowering the muzzle of the semi-automatic gun, continuously pulling the trigger with his right index finger, and firing three more bullets.

Whoosh... Puff... Finally, the puppet soldier he aimed at shook his body, and a large ball of blood exploded on his back, and even white bone fragments splashed out with the blood.

"Hmm...what happened to me?" The puppet soldier who was hit felt a pain in his back, and then he felt that the lower half of his body had lost consciousness. He only felt the pain in his back getting stronger and stronger, and then he fainted. Of course, after fainting, he never woke up again. The bullet shattered his thoracic vertebrae under the powerful kinetic energy, and the rolling bullet also crushed his internal organs...

"Squad leader, I shot one, record it!" Zhang Ke's mouth was already smiling. Killing or not killing, how could it have any impact, he had already passed that level! So after he finished shouting, he turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at another puppet soldier he could see, and decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang Bang... Rapid oil and crisp gunshots rang out, and the veterans on the 5th company's position finally experienced the feeling of killing the enemy! However, those puppet soldiers who were afraid of death and lying on the ground were easy to fight, while those who kept moving around were not easy to fight. Often, they couldn't hit a single one after several consecutive shots! By the time they all had records of killing the enemy, more than 10 minutes had passed.

"Well, comrades, you did a good job. After this battle, all the comrades in our company will have records of killing the enemy, including the kitchen squad, transport team, and ammunition handlers!" In the command post, Zou Ming received the previous report and was very happy.

"Tell them that the comrades who have just joined the battle should return to their original organizations. It will depend on how the Japanese attack. We have time to waste with them!" Zou Ming continued to give orders.

Soon, adjustments were made at the front. The soldiers who had just fought and did not belong to combat units also returned to their respective units to wait for the next order.

At the same time, on the other side of the trumpet mouth, the 4th Company of the main 4st Regiment led by Tian E also completed the training of the soldiers in almost the same way, making the th Company a company with all members having a record of killing the enemy. In their rear, Li Yunlong and Zheng Changfeng completed the next strategic deployment during this period.

"Old Zheng, let's make it like this. Your regiment stays here and I will lead the comrades of the independent regiment to move diagonally from the east and directly surround these Japs! If the Japs come out from Yangquan again, your artillery battalion will provide cover for me and bombard them as hard as you can!" Li Yunlong's loud voice made people's ears itch.

"You are taking some risks, but I also know that your independent regiment is best at attacking, so I won't persuade you! So, you can bring our regiment's artillery company with you. The six 6mm mortars are enough for you to deal with emergencies! But Captain Li, you have to promise me that you can't attack Yangquan on impulse! Even if we do, we have to wait until we have eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us, and then we can fight together!"

"That's right, Captain Li. Our team has worked so hard in Ping'an County. You must take us with you when you attack Yangquan. You can't act on your own!" Guo Zhongmin, who had already rushed over with a team, also launched an attack on Li Yunlong.

"Ah, haha... It seems that you two have already guessed what our Lao Li is going to do, right? Okay, I'll listen to you! Actually, Lao Li also wants to see what it looks like when 27 120mm mortars attack a city together! Oh, and the armored vehicles you used in the play can also be pulled out for a try! I just wonder, if we take down Yangquan, will the division commander treat Lao Li to a drink!"

"Still drinking? You'd better thank God that you are not shot! It's settled. Your regiment has one and a half hours to make detours and we will continue to play with the Japs here!" Zheng Changfeng said.

"Okay...hahahaha...Independent Regiment, follow me, let's attack..." (End of this chapter)
