Chapter 78 Enemy Aircraft Attack
"Ding, system prompt: Congratulations to the host for completely annihilating the Guchuan Brigade, unlocking the "Kill One Thousand Enemies" achievement, and rewarding 1 gold treasure chest, merit value +100,000, experience value +100,000."
"Huh? Another golden treasure chest as a reward?"
Yang Lin remembered that there was a silver treasure chest and a gold treasure chest still stored in the portable space, so he decided to open them to see what was inside.
"Open the silver treasure chest!"
"Ding! System prompt: The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100,000 bullets (you can freely choose the bullet specifications)."
not bad!
Yang Lin thought that the independent battalion was mainly equipped with Zhongzheng rifles and Hanyang rifles, and the Czech rifle also used 7.92mm caliber bullets, so the two could be used interchangeably.
So they chose the 7.92mm caliber bullet.
"Keep it open!"
"Ding! System prompt: The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations to the host for receiving a 24-hour 10% discount card from the mall, and a special gift of 50,000 merit points."
This thing is a good thing, but it must be used at critical moments.
"Open again!"
"Ding! System prompt: The treasure chest has been opened . Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 20mm caliber 6-barrel Gatling machine gun and 100,000 rounds of bullets."
"Fuck!"
Yang Lin was stunned. The golden treasure chest was different. Every time something came out of it, it was enough to be called a divine weapon.
Gatling is known as the father of heavy machine guns. It was designed by American Richard Jordan Gatling in 1860 and is the first practical machine gun in the world.
After continuous improvements, it became extremely powerful during World War I and was simply a human flesh harvester on the battlefield.
Strictly speaking, the 20mm caliber Gatling can no longer be considered a machine gun, but should be called a machine gun.
Among them, the Gatling is famous for its fast firing rate and great power. Its actual firing rate is as high as a terrifying 3,000 rounds per minute, which is more than five times that of the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.
If a 20mm caliber bullet hits your body, it will be torn into pieces in an instant by its powerful force.
Even the front armor of the Japanese tanks was as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of such firepower. It could withstand a single blow and be turned into a sieve in minutes.
In addition to ground combat, this machine gun also has good air defense capabilities.
If there are any shortcomings, there are some.
For example, the firing rate was too fast, and the few bullets Yang Lin had in stock were not enough .
Just then, the deputy battalion commander and first company commander ran over from not far away.
He saluted Yang Lin and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, Captain Liu just reported that the Japanese who broke through the encirclement have been completely wiped out by the cavalry company, and no one escaped!
However, since many of the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, it is impossible to count how many enemies were killed. "
Yang Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "What are the casualties of each of our companies?"
Ma Gan took out a statistical data sheet and reported: "A total of 124 people in the battalion were injured and 79 were killed."
"Among them, 48 people were injured, 34 were slightly injured, 14 were seriously injured, 3 were disabled, and 36 were killed."
"16 wounded in the second company, all of them lightly wounded, 5 killed in action."
"23 people were injured in the third company , 18 were slightly injured, 5 were seriously injured, and 18 were killed."
"The reconnaissance company suffered 37 casualties, including 29 minor injuries, 8 serious injuries, 20 deaths, and 2 disabled."
"The rest of the companies suffered no casualties!"
The independent battalion wiped out a Japanese battalion of more than 1,000 men with almost equal forces, but suffered only more than 200 casualties.
And this happened when the opponent launched a sneak attack.
Although the casualties of the entire battalion were greater than Yang Lin had estimated, it was definitely a classic victory.
Of course, in addition to Yang Lin’s outstanding tactical guidance ability, such a great victory is also inseparable from the rigorous training of the independent battalion soldiers during this period.
Yang Lin nodded and instructed: "Do your best to rescue the wounded, and there must be no more non-war casualties.
In addition, make a list of the names of the brothers who died and bury their bodies properly.
Also, the pensions must be distributed to their families!"
After a pause, Yang Lin added: "These brothers died in the fight against the enemy and to recover our country. They are heroes and must be remembered and respected by the world!
Their parents and family are also our parents and family!
I will not allow the parents, wives and children of these brothers to be bullied by others because they lost their sons, husbands and fathers!
Heroes can shed blood, but they must never shed tears after they die!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Ma Gan, the monk next to him, Niu Dadan and others were deeply shocked by Yang Lin's words, especially the monk. At this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of belonging.
This feeling was something he had never experienced when he was in the 72nd Division of the Northwest Army.
At this moment, he decided to follow Yang Lin to the death, and he would never frown even if he had to climb mountains of swords or descend into seas of fire.
After a while, Ma Gan calmed down and pointed at the Japanese corpses lying all over the battlefield below and asked: "Battalion Commander, there are too many Japanese corpses. What should we do with them?"
"Find a ravine and bury it directly."
Niu Dadan asked in confusion: "Brother Lin, why bother with these little devils? Just leave them in this wild man's ditch to feed the wolves."
Yang Lin glared and said, "What do you know? Do you know that if we let the bodies of these devils be exposed to the air and rot, it will easily cause a plague?
By then, the victims will still be us Chinese!"
As Yang Lin finished speaking, his left ear suddenly moved sharply.
As his character level increased, he gained extraordinary hearing and vision. He could detect the roar of an airplane engine from a long distance.
Then, Yang Lin raised the telescope and looked in the direction where the roar of the plane engine came from.
Within the field of view of the telescope, only two planes were seen rushing towards Yerengou.
The outer shells of the two planes were spray-painted with the bloody sanitary napkin logo.
"Oh no! Enemy planes are coming!"
Yang Lin never dreamed that the Japanese would even send out planes to deal with him. You know, this is a treatment that even Li Yunlong didn't have!
After discovering the enemy planes, Yang Lin quickly ordered the people around him: "The Japanese planes are coming, notify all companies and platoons to immediately stop cleaning the battlefield and hide in the mountains and forests!"
"Also, order each machine gun crew to ambush on the nearest high ground immediately. Do not let the enemy planes discover you!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
When Ma Gan, the monk and Niu Dadan heard that enemy planes were approaching, they all realized the seriousness of the situation. After they responded, they turned around and left as quickly as possible.
It was the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield on the Yerengou mountain road who quickly received orders and instructions from Battalion Commander Yang Lin.
Each company and platoon immediately hid in the nearby forests, and the machine gun crews also ambushed on the nearby high ground in advance.
Not long after, enemy planes roared in with the roar of their engines.
