Chapter 3: Counterattack of the Special Forces Squad

  "Bang... A dull gunshot rang out. A bullet with tremendous energy was fired from Zhang Hua's rifle barrel. And the machine gunner of the Shanxi Army had fallen to the ground, twisted and distorted. The light machine gun that was still spitting fire just now was also twisted and fell to the ground."

  Haha, it seems that the accuracy of this rifle is still good, at least in close-range shooting can accurately hit the target. Zhang Hua took a look at the old rifle in his hand and thought to himself.

  Since he already understood the shooting characteristics and accuracy of this rifle, Zhang Hua certainly didn't need to continue wasting the remaining four rounds in the chamber. So, this time, Zhang Hua didn't hesitate at all, loading the second round into the chamber and aiming at the Shanxi-Shaanxi military regiment commander who was excitedly watching him.

  "Bang... Ah..." A miserable cry closely followed Zhang Hua's gunshot, the commander of the Jin Sui army who was just leading the charge with dragon and phoenix-like movements. Now, his face turned pale as earth. He stared at himself in disbelief, seeing a blood hole on his chest from which fresh blood was gushing out, and he fell to the ground with a tilt.

  "Ah... brothers, the company commander is dead, the company commander was killed by the Red Army... Quick retreat, quick escape..." Perhaps what was said on TV about the National Army troops, "the tree falls and the monkeys scatter", is true. Because in front of Zhang Hua, such a scene occurred... As the Shanxi-Suiyuan army's face fell, the soldiers who had just been charging forward without regard for their lives immediately began to retreat. With one soldier leading the way, the remaining soldiers could no longer hold on and turned around, fleeing wildly back to their own camp.

  "Comrades, charge!..." Seeing the Jin-Sui army retreating, Zhang Hua naturally did not miss this opportunity to launch a counter-charge. He loudly shouted at the soldiers on the battlefield. At the same time, he didn't forget to fire his third shot from his rifle, and another Nationalist machine gunner fell under Zhang Hua's gunfire.

  "Comrades... charge!" As soon as the company commander's order was heard, Xu Bin, who was also a guide, immediately reacted. With nearly 100 soldiers left on the position, they shouted and rushed out of the trenches, chasing after the Jin-Sui army that was frantically retreating.

  "Charge!"... Nearly a hundred warriors let out a thunderous roar, charging towards the Jin army's troops that were frantically retreating. Just as the warriors had charged less than 20 meters away, Zhang Hua, who was crouching in the trenches, feared that these battle-crazed warriors would recklessly charge into the enemy's main position, ruining his plan. Ignoring the attempts of his communications officer Wang Gou Dan to stop him, he grasped his own pistol, an old-fashioned revolver, and charged out of the trenches, chasing after the troops.

  "Stop pursuing... stop pursuing..." As expected, when Zhang Hua caught up with the troops, everyone had already passed 50 meters in front of the position. However, under the command of Instructor Xu Bin, everyone still rushed forward in a swarm. But Zhang Hua, who was catching up, quickly stopped the company's continued charge.

  "What are you all staring at? Don't look at me, quickly gather the enemy's weapons and ammunition, hurry up!" Seeing over a hundred people looking at him in unison, Zhang Hua couldn't help but feel anxious, shouting out loud.

  "Right, immediately collect the enemy's weapons and ammunition, then immediately withdraw to the position, quickly..." Just at this time, the most responsive squad leader He Deqing immediately gave a loud order. Immediately, the soldiers began to quickly collect the ammunition from the enemy corpses. However, Zhang Hua did not participate in the process of collecting ammunition at this time.

  Instead, he picked up an 80% new Type 38 rifle from the ground with a strange gaze from the communication officer Wang Goudan behind him. At the same time, he took out two magazines from the bullet bag of the Jin-Sui army corpse in front of him and placed them in front of himself.

  It turned out that Zhang Hua was to prevent the Jinwei Army's heavy machine guns from taking advantage of a sneak attack. To know, at this time more than 100 soldiers were completely exposed under the enemy's gunpoint, if the enemy's heavy machine guns took advantage of the fire, then their special duty regiment would certainly pay a terrible price.

  As expected, just as Zhang Hua was preparing to shoot, the Jinwei Army's heavy machine gun position had already taken action. Seeing more than 100 Red Army soldiers in front of the position, frantically collecting weapons and ammunition from their own dead bodies. The two heavy machine gunners began to turn their barrels, ready to fire.

  "Bang... Before the enemy's heavy machine gunner opened fire, a unique 38-style rifle shot rang out on the position. The head of the Shanxi Army's heavy machine gunner slumped to one side and fell into a pool of blood. Meanwhile, the soldiers who were collecting weapons and ammunition looked at the company commander in confusion as he lay on the ground firing his gun. Fortunately, there were quick-reacting cadres and soldiers."

  Seeing Lian Changzheng firing at the enemy's heavy machine gun position, Instructor Xu Bin was the first to react.

  "Comrades, hurry up and retreat... the enemy's heavy machine gun is about to open fire... Quick, fall back to the trenches!" Xu Bin shouted loudly. Just then, Zhang Hua's second shot rang out. The other heavy machine gunner was even more pitiful, directly getting his head blown off by Zhang Hua. Half of his head was blown apart under the powerful impact of the rifle bullet, and red and white brain matter splattered almost everywhere on the machine gun position.

  "Ah... the Red Army has a godly marksman, everyone quickly take cover and get down..." Seeing two consecutive machine gunners being hit, one of them even got his head blown off. As the commander of the two heavy machine guns, a platoon leader of a heavy machine gun company directly lay on the ground and ordered the remaining dozen or so soldiers in the platoon...

  Just now, the heavy machine gun position that was about to annihilate the Red Army was left with only two lonely heavy machine guns standing there. The machine gunners, under the leadership of the squad leader, lay down on the ground together.

  "Comrades... retreat, return to the trenches..." Seeing that the Shanxi Army's heavy machine gun position had fallen silent, Zhang Hua, as the company commander, would not let go of such a good opportunity for retreat. He loudly ordered the soldiers who were collecting ammunition behind him. At the same time, he himself picked up a light machine gun left behind by the Shanxi Army, grabbed two magazines, and began to retreat. And following closely behind Zhang Hua, the communications officer Wang Gou Dan also did not let go of such a good opportunity, directly embracing the enemy's machine gunner's ammunition bag, and followed the troops back into the trenches.

  "Haha... it's too cool, today is really too cool...". Ran to the side of the trench, Zhang Hua did a backflip and rolled into the trench. Looking at the light machine gun emitting blue light that he brought back, Zhang Hua said excitedly.

  "Old Zhang, when did your marksmanship become so accurate? Fortunately, it was thanks to your few shots just now. Otherwise, the soldiers would have had to resort to hand-to-hand combat. Your few shots not only saved the soldiers from close combat but also brought us a large number of captured weapons and ammunition. You're really something!" Seeing the excited face of Company Commander Zhang Hua, Instructor Xu Bin also walked over with a smile.

  "Old Xu, what have you obtained? Let's divide it up. I think that since the Shanxi army has just been counterattacked by us once, we'll need to wait a while before their next attack. We can take advantage of this time to replace some equipment..." Zhang Hua analyzed.

  "Ah, Lian Chang, you don't know, we've captured a lot of stuff... two light machine guns, 49 rifles, one handgun. Among them, over 5,000 rifle bullets, over 800 light machine gun bullets, and more than 150 hand grenades... Hehe, since I became the instructor of the special task force, I've never seen so much ammunition before..." Instructor Xu Bin said excitedly.

  "Well, not bad, can still be used for a while. How many men do we have left in our special forces unit who can continue to fight?" Zhang Hua nodded and continued to ask.

  "Old Zhang, I just counted, there are still 32 people in the first row, 28 people in the second row, and 29 people in the third row. The guard squad has 9 people left, the scout squad has 8 people, plus the two of us, that's a total of 108 people." Instructor Xu Bin replied.

  "Well, in order to continue fighting against the enemy, I plan to replace all the weapons in the hands of our warriors with captured ones. When the time comes, we will hand over the replaced weapons as spoils of war... You know, now that we are in Shanxi, it's easier to capture ammunition for the Type 38 rifle and replenish some of our ammo." Zhang Hua suggested, looking at Xu Bin in front of him.

  "Company Commander, I know this is a bit against the rules. But I agree with your opinion, after all it's a special time that requires special treatment..." The instructor nodded in agreement. Who doesn't want to improve their own combat effectiveness?

  "Alright, so all the captured weapons will be given to the second and third squads. The second squad will get 24 rifles, one light machine gun, and the third squad will get 25 rifles, one light machine gun, with 20 rounds of ammunition per person... As for the captured hand grenades, they'll all go to the first squad... What do you think?" Zhang Hua suggested.

  "I agree..." With that, the entire special operations company, except for one platoon, the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon, changed into captured Japanese equipment. After changing, Zhang Hua didn't have time to rest, he called together the three platoon leaders and two squad leaders to prepare for a small meeting.

  "Platoon leader, instructor, why did the second and third platoons change shifts, but my first platoon didn't? This isn't fair..." Just as everyone had just sat down, Platoon Leader He Deqing complained to Zhang Hua and Xu Bin.

  "Hehe, don't worry about it. I called you all here because it's related to the issue of changing your equipment. Just now we captured a lot of enemy weapons and ammunition, and everyone saw the performance of the captured weapons, which is absolutely better than what we have in our hands. Let's discuss, do you still want to continue capturing enemy weapons and ammunition?" Zhang Hua said with a smile.
