Chapter 193: Meet the New Fourth Army again
The New Fourth Army was officially established in October 1937 and was adapted from the Red Army guerrillas in 14 regions of 8 southern provinces. At the beginning of its establishment, the New Fourth Army had more than 10,000 men and more than 6,500 guns, and many soldiers also used the big sword shuttle mark as weapons. At this time, the New Fourth Army had four detachments, 10 regiments and 1 spy battalion.
Although it was October 1938, and it had been a full year since the New Fourth Army was established, and the number of the New Fourth Army increased a lot, but the weapons and equipment were still extremely lacking. The same was true for this army that fought with the Japanese. Many soldiers did not even have a gun.
In the front, the two sides were fighting. Although the Japanese were only one squadron in number, they were attacking the hillside under the cover of several machine guns and several grenade launchers.
Hundreds of New Fourth Army were condescending and attacking the Japanese, but the firepower of the New Fourth Army was much less sparse than that of the Japanese.
"Captain, we have suffered heavy casualties. Today we are afraid that we will not be able to eat this group of Japanese devils."
The commander of the New Fourth Army, Zhang Zhengkun, held a Mauser 20-stroke pistol, lay on the hillside, staring at the Japanese under the hillside without saying a word, and his face was serious.
The information I received at the beginning was that a small Japanese squad passed by here. Zhang Zhengkun personally led two battalions to set up an ambush here early, with the purpose of destroying the Japanese squad and seizing the weapons and equipment of the squad. Zhang Zhengkun's regiment was extremely lacking in weapons.
When Zhang Zhengkun saw that the Japanese were not a small team, but a squadron, he thought about it again and again and decided to fight. As long as the squadron was eliminated, the weapons and equipment of a whole Japanese squadron could be seized.
Zhang Zhengkun led two battalions, seven or eight hundred soldiers, and more than 400 guns. However, these guns were varied and relatively worn, even including some bird guns. The machine gun was only one that was so sharp that it was almost rifled.
With the advantage of the territory, another ambush, plus more than 400 guns, Zhang Zhengkun was preparing to take a risk and try it out. If he killed a good shot, he would have a great harvest. He would seize many weapons and equipment that the soldiers had long been jealous of.
However, although it was an ambush, due to the gap in weapons and equipment, these New Fourth Army could not gain any advantage. Zhang Zhengkun was also a little bit difficult to get rid of the tiger.
Retreat! All the kung fu is wasted, and the soldiers who have already sacrificed are also in vain. If you continue to fight, you may not be able to annihilate these Japanese devils. The Japanese devils have very strong firepower.
Zhang Zhengkun inserted his left hand into the soil with force, staring at the Japanese devils one or two hundred meters away in front.
"Tell me the order. Blow the charge, everyone rushed down and fought with the Japanese." Zhang Zhengkun said in a deep voice.
Obviously, Zhang Zhengkun was preparing to rely on his large number of people, several times the number of Japanese devils. He was preparing to fight with Japanese devils to a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
Hand-to-hand combat is usually very tragic. The casualties are generally very large, especially the Japanese's skills in fighting bayonets are pretty good. If they want to kill these 200 Japanese, they will probably have to pay a huge price.
The reason for doing this is that it is because it lacks weapons and equipment too much. To develop the troops, it requires a large amount of weapons and equipment. The New Fourth Army does not have its own military factory, and all weapons rely on themselves to solve them. Zhang Zhengkun urgently needs weapons and equipment.
Seeing his regiment commander charge and launching hand-to-hand combat, the deputy regiment commander Liu Peishan sighed helplessly. With the charge, a large number of soldiers will definitely be sacrificing here.
The bottom of the valley below the hillside.
Several young Japanese officers wore white gloves and fought together with commanding swords. The highest rank was a Japanese captain, next to them was a lieutenant, two lieutenants, and several Japanese soldiers.
These Japanese officers watched their troops attack smoothly and had already begun to rush up the hillside, and their faces were filled with excitement. Although there were seven or eight hundred people ambushing the New Fourth Army, these Japanese officers did not take them seriously at all.
"Yo Xi! If the New Fourth Army is not good at work, our warriors will soon rush up."
Three or four hundred meters away from here, on the opposite hillside.
Seeing that the New Fourth Army did not gain any advantage at all, Ye Feng decided to help.
"Everyone choose a good position, first use a sniper rifle to eliminate important targets, then lean over and use Thomson submachine gun to eliminate these Japanese devils." Ye Feng shouted loudly.
Ye Feng and his team were on the hillside opposite the New Fourth Army, which was about five or six hundred meters away, but not far from the Japanese, about three or four hundred meters away.
Ye Feng had already chosen a position and aimed at one of the Japanese officers with a Garland sniper rifle. The rest of the special forces, including Zhao Long, were holding the same sniper rifle. In addition, each of them had a Thomson submachine gun on their backs and a Browning pistol on their waists.
Everyone is a special forces member, and one of the most outstanding special forces members among the Lijian Special Forces. Of course, everyone knows what to fight first.
The Japanese in the distance had a few machine guns, grenade launchers, flag bearers, and even the Japanese officers all aimed at these targets at everyone's guns.
Ye Feng's face was calm. Ye Feng aimed at the Japanese Captain 300 meters away. Through the scope, he could clearly see the Japanese Captain's head.
"Bang!"
Ye Feng fired the first shot. With Ye Feng's gunshot, the proud Japanese captain was in a state of great pain and fell to the ground, dying.
The other special forces members, including Zhao Long, also began to shoot, aiming at the machine guns, grenade launchers and other targets of the Japanese in the distance.
After Ye Feng fired the first shot, he exploded the head of the Japanese captain. A smile appeared on Ye Feng's face, and a slightly upturned arc appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Ye Feng moved the muzzle quickly, and the Garland sniper rifle did not need to pull the bolt. Ye Feng's fire rate was very fast. Before the Japanese officers next to him even reacted, he shot the headshot and ended the Japanese lieutenant's life with one shot.
Two people were blown up in a row, and the other Japanese officers finally reacted and prepared to escape, but before they could turn around, Ye Feng had already shot the third shot, but he still shot the head with one shot. He exploded a Japanese lieutenant's head.
There was still a Japanese lieutenant left. Obviously, the Japanese lieutenant knew that there was a sharpshooter in the distance, and he might have been aimed at it. His face was full of horror, and he turned around and ran away. In a panic, even the command knife in his hand fell to the ground.
However, the Japanese lieutenant had only run a few meters away, and was aimed at Ye Feng and shot into the back center with a shot. He rushed to the ground and was obviously killed.
He fired four shots in a row, and the speed was very fast. In just a few seconds, Ye Feng shot several more shots and killed several Japanese soldiers next to him. It was not until he finished shooting this magazine. Ye Feng hid, changed to another magazine, and also changed to a sniper point.
After one magazine was shot, the whole time was very short, less than thirty seconds, in such a short time. Every special forces member had already started shooting, at least three or four shots, and some of them had even shot five or six shots. Zhao Long shot very quickly. Ye Feng had just finished shooting a magazine. Zhao Long also finished shooting a magazine.
Opposite hillside.
The commander of the New Fourth Army, Zhang Zhengkun, had already issued a complete charge and launched a hand-to-hand combat order. The trumpet soldiers next to him were stunned before they could blow the charge, and all this happened so suddenly.
In a short period of time, several commanders of the Japanese devils were all killed, and the machine guns that were shooting were also silent in a short period of time, and several grenade launchers also fell to the ground.
There are three infantry squadrons under a standard infantry squadron of the Japanese army, each infantry squadron has two rifle groups, one machine gun group (two light machine guns), and one grenade launcher group (two grenade launchers). Each light machine gun has four people (commander, shooter, two deputy shooters carrying ammunition), and two grenade launchers have two people.
Some infantry squadrons also have an artillery squad, equipped with two 70mm infantry artillery, as well as corresponding operators, ammunition, observers, and commanders, about 20 people. However, this Japanese infantry squadron did not have such an artillery squadron.
In a short period of time, almost all of his machine guns were silent, many of his grenade launchers were killed, and his squadron leader was shot to death, and the remaining Japanese were a little panicked.
Without the firepower support of machine guns, the Japanese's firepower suddenly became much weaker, and only some Japanese with Type 38 rifles were still continuing to shoot.
Zhang Zhengkun was a little lost when he saw this sudden change, but he soon burst into laughter. It was obvious that there was a help from a master on the opposite hillside. Zhang Zhengkun picked up his telescope and looked at the location where Ye Feng and the others were.
Seeing that Ye Feng and the others had only a few people, they were slightly surprised. There were only a few people with a magical marksmanship and killed at least 30 or forty Japanese devils in a short time.
Ye Feng and the others were still shooting. After shooting a magazine, they immediately changed positions. While moving forward, they kept aiming at the Japanese and shooting.
The Japanese quickly fell down one after another under the guns of Ye Feng and the special forces. Some of the Japanese left and right men began to retreat down the hillside, and some Japanese even started to turn around and shoot at Ye Feng and the others with Type 38 rifles.
After Ye Feng finished punching a magazine, he changed the magazine and got closer and closer to the Japanese, from more than 300 meters in the past to less than 200 meters now.
The distance was closer. After Ye Feng finished the fourth magazine, he put away his sniper rifle and replaced it with the Thomson submachine gun. The other special forces, including Zhao Long, also began to replace it with the Thomson submachine gun and fire.
"Ka, da, da..."
The sound of submachine guns fired, and the Japanese soldiers quickly reduced their attacks from these submachine guns. Some Japanese soldiers, holding Type 38 rifles, were killed before they could even aim.
When the commander of the New Fourth Army, Zhang Zhengkun, saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Comrades, rush for me and wipe out this group of Japanese devils."
A loud charge sounded, and all the New Fourth Army soldiers shouted, holding their weapons, or waving their big swords and spears toward the Japanese.
