Chapter 77: No suspense battle
The machine gun squadron is the only formation of the county brigade that has been expanded in battle, and the machine gun squadron has developed into a reinforced squadron with nine light machine guns, eight heavy machine guns, two mortars, and two infantry guns.
In the previous battle, the machine gun squadron played a decisive role, and the performance of veterans such as Liang Tieniu had exceeded Sun Weiguo's expectations.
"The devil soldiers are here in fifteen trucks, and this time your machine gun squadron still has to fight the main attack, but you must pay attention to one point, do not detonate the weapons and ammunition in the truck, and try to protect the trucks." Sun Weiguo gave an order to the machine gun squadron, and the county brigade still needs these weapons and ammunition for the devil soldiers.
"It's difficult, we try not to destroy trucks and detonate munitions." Liang Tieniu frowned, and then made a guarantee.
Sun Weiguo nodded, and he carefully instructed him again, and then let Liang Tieniu leave with the cadres of the machine gun squadron.
"Erzhu, help me get the pen and paper." Sun Weiguo waited until they left, and he explained softly.
"What do you want pen and paper for?" Liu Qian pouted and said with a dissatisfied expression.
This time Sun Weiguo was injured, Liu Qian was very worried, she was afraid that Sun Weiguo would have an accident.
Liu Qian was taken aback by the strange reaction to Sun Weiguo, but now Liu Qian didn't have the heart to think about these things, she just wanted Sun Weiguo to do something to recover.
"The casualties of the county brigade this time are relatively large, but we have captured a lot of weapons and ammunition, and if we can, we may also capture Pingding County, I want to expand the county brigade after the war, Commander Zhou gave the county brigade three infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron, I wrote the troop structure in advance." Sun Weiguo replied softly.
Wang Erzhu had already brought pen and paper, and Liu Qian took it directly.
After seeing the brush, Sun Weiguo shook his head helplessly, he forgot that he didn't know how to write calligraphy and traditional characters.
Fortunately, Liu Qian took over the pen and paper, otherwise Sun Weiguo would have made a fool of himself.
With Sun Weiguo's dictation, Liu Qian began to write.
Liu Qian under the kerosene lamp was very beautiful, she frowned from time to time, and glanced back at Sun Weiguo.
Liu Qian's eyes were full of concern, and the expression on her beautiful cheeks seemed to be able to melt any man's heart.
Here at the headquarters, Sun Weiguo is formulating a new establishment of the county brigade, and the troops led by Ito Hui have begun to arrive in Chengguan Town.
Because Yang Xinghua sent an urgent telegram, asking Ito Hui to immediately send the supplementary weapons and ammunition to Nanzhuang Village, Ito Hui did not dare to delay in the slightest, he did not stop in Chengguan Town, but came directly to Nanzhuang Village.
The truck's headlights began to shine on the position, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the devil soldiers began to prepare for battle when they saw the truck appear.
Zhong Jian, who led the team, held a shell gun, and his face inevitably showed a nervous expression.
Even the soldiers on the battlefield began to have some nervous and worried looks.
The officers of the troops have a great influence on the soldiers, and each unit will deeply imprint the character of the officers.
The machine gun squadron was all veterans who had seen battles, and they did not have the slightest nervousness, and when they saw the truck appear, they calmly turned the muzzle of the gun.
They are very similar to Sun Weiguo in this regard, even if there are countless devil soldiers in front, the soldiers of the machine gun squadron can always stay calm.
Ito, who was sitting in the truck in front, raised his binoculars, and under the illumination of the headlights, Ito saw the soldiers guarding the position.
Seeing the ghost soldier uniforms worn by the soldiers, Ito Hui put down the binoculars, and he hurriedly urged, "Hurry up." ”
As the truck driver accelerated, the truck was less than a hundred meters away from the trenches outside the village.
Fifteen trucks slowly stopped, and Ito jumped out of them.
"Ueda Shaoza is not here, we have transported weapons and ammunition." Ito shouted into the trench.
He shouted as he walked towards the trench as the two squads of devil soldiers on the truck jumped down.
They assembled next to the truck and waited for Ito Teru to carry weapons and ammunition after negotiating with Kakuei Ueda.
Sun Weiguo, who was in the headquarters, had already come to the top floor, and he was lying on a stretcher, holding a telescope to observe the situation.
Seeing the ghost soldiers shining on the headlights, Sun Weiguo hurriedly ordered the signal soldiers to shoot signal flares.
With a "bang", the signal popped out in the dark night sky.
When Ito saw the flare, his footsteps couldn't help but stop, and his face showed a little puzzled expression.
At this time, more than two hundred fighters in the trench began to shoot aim, and a volley of guns rang out, and Ito's body fell to the ground, with more than a dozen blood holes in his body.
The seventeen light and heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron began to fire at the assembled devil soldiers, and the dense bullets attacked the devil soldiers.
The two squads of more than 100 ghost soldiers just wanted to dodge when they were greeted by a dense burst of light and heavy machine gun bullets.
The unprepared devil soldiers were shot dead dozens on the spot, and the remaining fifty or sixty devil soldiers immediately lay on the ground to hide.
They were standing in formation, and the fire of seventeen light and heavy machine guns dealt them a great blow.
Even if it was fifty or sixty devil soldiers lying on the ground, a large part of them were traumatized.
Two mortars and two infantry guns began to fire, and one after another the shells exploded near the devil soldiers.
Shrapnel flew everywhere, and the ghost soldiers lying on the ground began to cry out in pain.
The gunners of the infantry guns were recruited from the troops of the division, because the division lacked artillery, and some of the gunners could only serve as grenadiers.
These gunners were far less accurate than mortars, but even so, they still dealt a big blow to the devil soldiers.
Sun Weiguo held a telescope to watch the battle, and saw that the machine gun squadron and the front-line trench soldiers had solved a lot of devil soldiers with a row of guns, and he immediately gave the order for a general attack.
There are not many people left in the devil soldiers, and they can be dealt with by white-knuckle warfare.
If he continued to use light and heavy machine guns, Sun Weiguo was worried that the ammunition in the truck would be exploded.
The trumpeters blew the horn of attack, and the soldiers in the trenches quickly took off their uniforms of the devil soldiers, installed their bayonets, and quickly rushed towards the devil soldiers.
The troops hidden on the periphery also quickly launched an attack, and more than 800 soldiers attacked the remaining dozens of devil soldiers.
There was no suspense in this battle, and when the trumpeters began to blow the trumpet of attack, Liu Qian asked Wang Erzhu and others to carry Sun Weiguo back to the headquarters.
"The militia from all villages has almost arrived, have you notified the militia from the distant villages?"
Back in the headquarters, Sun Weiguo began to think about the expansion of the county brigade, and he inquired about the situation of the militia.
