Chapter 4: Saving Wang Chengzhu
The entire New 1st Regiment was fighting desperately. Chen Xiao even saw a young soldier who, after being stabbed, ignored everything and rushed to the enemy's face to bite off a large piece of flesh.
After just one clash, the New 1st Regiment, with its desperate attitude and courage, actually defeated the enemy, and then charged in the opposite direction, following the enemy's ass, the New 1st Regiment kept pressing forward.
"Okay! 500 meters, hold this position. Zhuzi, you dog, come here quickly!" After advancing more than 500 meters, Li Yunlong quickly told the troops to hold it, and then told Zhuzi to hurry over.
Without any nonsense, Wang Chengzhu carried the only two remaining shells, while Chen Xiao carried the mortar that had not yet been disassembled. They ran over happily and set up the guns on the small piece of relatively flat ground prepared by Li Yunlong.
Zhuzi is worthy of being the best gunner of the New 1st Regiment at this stage. He just took a quick glance and fired a shot that was actually close to the target, but missed it and blew down the signal antenna receiving stand above the target.
"Zhu Zi, you...damn...carefully aim, you missed the target!" Li Yunlong almost jumped up and down and cursed, after all, they were only two shells left.
Wang Chengzhu pursed his lips and said nothing. He took another look and then calmly extended his hand: "Cannonball!"
Chen Xiao quickly put the shell into his hand, and then with a "bang", the last shell was fired.
Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Chengzhu, and Chen Xiao all stared at the target. With a loud bang, smoke and dust billowed, and the tent where the target was located collapsed directly. It was hit!
Li Yunlong was overjoyed: "Zhu Zi, good job!"
"Haha! I hit it, I hit it..." Wang Chengzhu was about to jump up, but was hugged by Chen Xiao who was prepared and pushed to the ground.
Just as Wang Chengzhu was knocked to the ground, several bullets flew over the place where he had just appeared and hit the mountain wall behind him.
“Hehe…” Zhuzi, who had survived a great catastrophe, laughed twice in embarrassment and slapped Chen Xiao: “Xiucai, it seems that you are not only strong, but also have a good eye!”
Chen Xiao felt a little helpless. He was a veteran after all. He had destroyed someone else 's command center, so why wouldn't the other person's sharpshooter take revenge?
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest and rescuing the soldier Wang Chengzhu. The reward has been issued."
He instantly felt a current passing through his body, and his whole body went numb instantly, but the feeling came and went quickly. Then, in his mind, he had all kinds of artillery operating techniques and maintenance knowledge. Master-level skills were no longer limited to firing artillery, and he was qualified and had methods for even training and teaching.
However, since the mission was completed, there was no need for Chen Xiao to follow behind the pillar. There was a Type 38 rifle on the body of the Japanese soldier in front of him on the left. The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment followed Li Yunlong and rushed forward, so no one saw it and no one picked it up.
So what are you waiting for?
Chen Xiao quickly ran over to pick it up, then took off the bullet belt. When he looked at the bullet box, there were still dozens of bullets.
As soon as he picked up the Type 38 rifle, a familiar feeling came over him. He felt that the gun was like his arm. Within 200 meters, he was confident that he could hit whatever he pointed at, and he should not miss when hitting a human target within 300 meters.
After only half a minute's delay, Li Yunlong had already rushed to the front with his men. Even Zhuzi, with his ammunition handlers, dismantled the mortar without shells and followed to the front.
The Sakata Regiment, whose headquarters was destroyed by a cannon, was dispersed by the Shinichi Regiment of about a thousand people because it had no commander.
However, even if they were dispersed, under the command of grassroots officers, they still counterattacked Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment.
Especially the grenade launcher position at the three o'clock direction, which fired continuously at the area where the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were concentrated.
Chen Xiao, who was following behind, noticed the grenade launcher and estimated the distance, which was more than 300 meters. He raised his gun, took a light aim and pulled the trigger, and the target fell down.
"Well done! Who did it? Keep your eyes on the grenade launcher and kill the deputy gunner!" Li Yunlong roared, waving a machete blade.
Zhang Dabiao followed him and said, "Captain, it was that scholar with great strength who did it."
Another gunshot rang out, and the assistant gunner who wanted to take over the grenade launcher was shot dead again, and then the ammunition handler was killed next.
Then, at the heavy machine gun position in front of them, the machine gunner also fell down.
"Great! I didn't expect that the scholar is both civil and military. We must keep him after we break out. He is a fierce general!" Li Yunlong laughed.
Then he swung his broadsword and yelled, "The enemy's firing point has been destroyed. What are you waiting for? Follow me!"
"kill……"
It is true that a brave general has no weak soldiers under his command. The troops led by Li Yunlong were very fierce in fighting. They rushed to the enemy's bombed headquarters in a short time.
"A colonel and a lieutenant colonel, commander, this net has caught a big fish!" Zhang Dabiao laughed.
Li Yunlong also said proudly: "Now the brigade commander can't shoot me. Besides, why should he shoot me? He has to treat me to a drink!"
Zhang Dabiao looked at the situation outside and saw that the enemy had finally reacted. He quickly said, "Captain, we are going to break out!"
Li Yunlong certainly knew how powerful the Japanese army was. Even if they had destroyed their headquarters, the quality of the Japanese grassroots officers was quite strong. If they were allowed to react, his thousand men would still be no match for the enemy's 3,000 troops.
So he picked up the big knife and said, "Brothers, follow me and kill them!"
The Japanese army's reaction was really quick. Not long after they broke out, they ran into a tough opponent.
The Japanese army set up a heavy machine gun position on a mountain ridge, facing the road that Li Yunlong and his men had to take to break out. It could be said that it was a one-man-block pass against ten thousand. The New 1st Regiment lost several soldiers .
"Give me some grenades!" Li Yunlong shouted to the people behind him. In this kind of terrain, it is impossible to defeat the heavy machine guns by fighting with guns. However, you can use human firepower to cover the attack, and then someone can sneak up from the side, but the success rate is very low.
"Commander, let me do it!" Li Yunlong's guard Hu Zi roared and rushed out, but it was wrong for him to rush out like this. He should lie on the side and move forward, trying to get into the blind spot of the heavy machine gun position above.
Of course, given the military quality of the battle-hardened Sakata Regiment of the Japanese Army, they would not set up a heavy machine gun position, nor would they create blind spots for themselves.
So when Chen Xiao watched TV dramas before, he felt that this was a bit unreasonable.
Reality is not a TV series. If Hu Zi can use a grenade to blow up the heavy machine gun this time like he did in the TV series, it can only be said that Li Yunlong is blessed with good fortune and luck, so he can do it.
But if they were unlucky, with only one heavy machine gun, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment would not be able to break through before the enemy's gun barrel was scrapped and the ammunition was exhausted, even if the entire regiment died there.
So when Hu Zi was knocked down, Li Yunlong shouted but there was no response.
All the shells were used up, and now the great gunner Wang Chengzhu was just a toothless tiger. Li Yunlong asked him to throw away the mortar without shells, but he refused to do so.
However, now that Chen Xiao has arrived, the situation is different. He appeared behind Li Yunlong's team at some point, with a rifle hanging on his right shoulder, three grenade bags tied to his body, an ammunition box on his left shoulder, and a grenade launcher in his right hand.
