Chapter 578: Round Battle (10)
The devil was as fierce as ever, splashing bullets like water pouring down on the forward positions of the Chinese defenders, and a puff of scorched earth bounced and splashed everywhere.
Not to be outdone, the devil's grenadiers and mortars bombarded each other as if they were playing against each other, blowing up the defenders' positions to the ground.
The brethren, both new and veterans, who were hiding in the trenches, were blackened by the flames of the war and were unkempt and full of embarrassment.
"Bang!" The dull sound of gunfire mixed with the crisp sound of machine guns is inaudible, but as long as the devil comes up, it will definitely not be pleased.
The recruit Luo Wencai had already adapted to the trench full of blood, and the strong smell of blood made the blood in his bones boil, and he looked at the devil who rushed forward obscenely in the distance, and staggered down, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
Without the slightest hesitation, at the same time as the devil soldier fell, he had already left his firing position with the somewhat hot 79 rifle.
"Puff puff!"
A series of retaliatory bullets followed, and the bullets sank into the dirt fiercely, splashing rubble, full of the anger of the devil soldiers, but did not hurt the recruit Luo Wen in the slightest.
In the broken trenches and bunkers, more and more recruits have been able to shoot and move with skill, and although there are still casualties, they are rapidly maturing under the tempering of the war.
The companies in the forward position were fighting unhurriedly with the devils, and under the fierce offensive of the devils, the position seemed to be crumbling, but it was impregnable.
Because once the devil's assault force breaks through to a distance of several tens of meters from the position, the firepower of the special agent company brothers and machine gun company who are hiding and ambushing in the second defense will open fire to support.
This time, Yang Ling's troops not only replenished more than 2,000 supplementary soldiers, but also prioritized the replenishment of a large number of weapons and ammunition.
As the main combat unit of the Central Army, their regiment now not only has a machine gun company directly under the regiment, but each battalion is also equipped with a heavy machine gun company or mortar company, and the firepower of the unit has been greatly enhanced.
Every time the little devil tries to attack, he will be suppressed by strong firepower, although the devil still has an advantage in aircraft and heavy artillery with a caliber of 75mm or more.
However, in terms of the firepower configuration of the grassroots troops, Yang Ling's troops are almost on par with the devils, especially the Czech light machine guns attached to the infantry company, and even the crooked light machine guns that can suppress the devils.
On such a complex battlefield, the two sides repeatedly tug-of-war, and the battle never stopped.
The companies at the front were fighting with the devils in an orderly manner, and in the hidden trenches of the second defense, those recruits who had not been on the battlefield were watching the scene with a nervous face.
This kind of observation can maximize the adaptation of these recruits to the battle-torn battlefield, and the tactical explanations of the veterans on the side are very beneficial to them.
Looking at the bullets flying in front of him and the explosions continuously, every recruit watching the battle listened carefully to the explanations of the veterans, desperately absorbing the battlefield knowledge, after all, it was related to their own lives.
"The battalion deputy, the brothers of the second battalion have come up, and the regimental seat has asked them to withdraw and rest—"
A brother rushed to the machine gun trench and squatted down, and saw Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander who was reloading the machine gun, and brought Yang Ling's order.
"Got it, notify the platoons and prepare to hand over the position!"
Qin Shou said and pulled the bolt, and when he talked, he pulled the trigger and didn't let go, and he was a shuttle bullet against a few obscene and leaping devils.
"Puff puff-" The bullet penetrated the body of the ghost soldier with a strong impact, revealing transparent blood holes.
In the blood mist, several devils fell to the ground like ripe wheat, and the devils behind them hurriedly shrank back in fright.
The brothers of the second battalion who changed guards quickly drove up along the traffic trench and replaced Qin Shou and them, who were covered in gunsmoke and blood.
Although most of the brothers who came up were new recruits, they had been observing the battlefield in the trenches of the second defense for a long time, and quickly took over the position under the shouts of the officers.
"Carry up all our wounded brethren, and bring down all those who have died."
Qin Shou and the others insisted on the specified time, and they were about to withdraw at this moment, and they suddenly felt a little lighter.
The recruits who had been fighting with the devils on the battlefield for so long were also relieved, carrying the bodies of the wounded and sacrificial brothers, and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
Although they were rushed into the position by the devils in the first wave of the devil's attack because of panic, they performed exceptionally well in the subsequent resistance and did not let the devils succeed once.
The retreating company was getting farther and farther away from the battlefield where the gunfire was fierce, and their expressions became relaxed, and although the sacrificed and wounded brothers made them feel sad, they still couldn't suppress the excitement on their faces when they killed the devil with their own hands for the first time.
The companies that had withdrawn from the various positions met each other at the junction, and when they saw each other's war-blackened faces and rags of rags, they embraced each other excitedly as if they had met in victory.
"How many devils did you kill?" Someone pulled the acquaintance and asked.
One brother replied: "If you hurt one, the devil is lucky, let him escape back, and I will never let him go next time!"
Although this brother sighed with regret, he still could not suppress the pride on his face, in the past, they marched in the rear and shouted slogans, and the loud praise of the people did not make him so happy now, he really injured a devil.
"I also injured one, hit the leg, and let him escape......"
The recruits' shooting accuracy is really not flattering, although most of them fired more than ten or twenty bullets, but not many really killed devils, more of them injured devils, or suspected of injuring devils.
But even so, it made their group of recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time happy, after all, they were also people who had fought devils on the battlefield.
Yang Ling, the regiment commander, personally greeted the infantry battalion that had been holding out for an hour under the repeated attacks of the devils, although the results were not ideal, and the devils killed were not as good as the casualties, but he was still giving them positive encouragement.
"You are all good, you fought well, you didn't disgrace our 74th Army, and you didn't feel ashamed of your hometown fathers, I hope you will make persistent efforts and kill more devils when you go to the battlefield next time."
Yang Ling's encouragement made the faces of these brothers who had experienced the war for the first time flush with excitement, and they were affirmed by the commander, and many of them had moist eyes.
"I would like to specially praise Luo Wencai of the third company of your battalion, he is calm and brave, he killed three devils on the battlefield for the first time, you all have to learn from him!" Yang Ling said and walked towards Luo Wencai, a recruit who was on the spot.
Looking at this burly recruit, Yang Ling secretly praised that it was really good material to be a soldier, he had also heard of Luo Wencai, and he had a fight with Qin Shou during training, and now he has such a record on the battlefield for the first time, which also surprised everyone.
"Fight the devil well, this gun is given to you as a commendation." Yang Ling took off his shell gun and stuffed it into Luo Wencai's hand, making the rest of the recruits red-eyed.
"Don't thank you yet—" Qin Shou watched his little fellow get praised in public, and his face was also smiling, and he hurriedly pushed him to remind.
Luo Wencai, who reacted, stood up in a panic: "Thank you for the group!"
Yang Ling patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and said to the recruits around him: "I have already instructed the cooking team to prepare a meal, and everyone will go down to eat and rest first."
"Yes!" The recruits agreed and went to dinner happily under the leadership of the officer.
And Yang Ling left the battalion commander Liu Yidao and the deputy battalion commander Qin Shou.
"Although you have completed the task of holding your position, but the casualties this time are not small, you have to summarize the problems exposed this time, learn a lesson, and report back to me."
"Yes!" The two battalion commanders both restrained their smiles and agreed in unison.
"Go and eat and rest first, and then go up in the evening."
