Chapter 4 The Second Counterattack

  "Of course, you don't know, the Type 38 rifle used by the Shanxi Army is much better than our Hanyang-made rifle... " Zhang Hua's words had just finished, and Qi Ming, the second squad leader who had just picked up his new gun, hastily said.

  "Yes, Commissar, with such a good rifle, it's best if our whole company is equipped with this..." Squad leader Yu Hongyuan immediately echoed in agreement.

  "Alright, I understand what you all mean. This time I've called you here is about capturing the enemy's weapons. However, this time I don't just want to capture the enemy's rifles and light machine guns, I also want their heavy machine guns... Now, my order is... After the Jin-Sui army launches its attack later, we'll do things as usual, starting to fire at 50 meters. But at that time, don't conserve ammunition for me, try your best to kill as many of the enemy's effective forces as possible. You should know, the more enemies you kill, the more weapons and ammunition we'll capture... During the enemy's retreat, listen for my order, prepare to launch a second counterattack against the enemy."

  "Second squad, third squad, guard squad, scout squad... under the command of the instructor, closely follow the retreating enemy and charge at their main force. However, pay attention to the degree of the charge, don't let these Shanxi soldiers counterattack. As for first squad, follow me in charging the enemy's heavy machine gun position 200 meters away... did everyone hear clearly?" Zhang Hua asked loudly, starting his first real battle command since his rebirth.

  "Did you hear that clearly?" Several people answered excitedly.

  "Alright, everyone start acting separately." Zhang Hua loudly commanded, turning around and climbing up the trench to observe the movements of the Jinwei army below.

  "Old Zhang, I've found that since you were hit by the shell, you seem to have changed into a different person... it's like I'm having trouble figuring you out..." Seeing Zhang Hua leaning on the edge of the trench, Instructor Xu Bin also leaned over beside him and asked with a smile.

  "Heh heh, instructor, maybe it was that one shell that woke me up and even improved my marksmanship by a few levels..." Zhang Hua replied with a bitter smile.

  "Haha, I don't care, anyway I just feel that following you to fight is exciting. I think, if our battle later on can continue like what you said, then the regiment of Shanxi army in front of us will definitely be beaten by our special task force until their buttocks are wet with urine." Instructor Xu Bin said with a smile and patted Zhang Hua's shoulder.

  "Ah, thank you for the trust, instructor... However, it seems that these Jinwei troops don't want us to continue chatting. Look, they've already started attacking... Hehe, I'm really starting to like these Jinwei troops more and more, and yet they still only sent out a single company's worth of troops, hehe." Company Commander Zhang Hua said with a smile.

  "Old Zhang, isn't this good? Knowing that our Red Army is short of guns and ammunition, it's just right to deliver weapons and ammunition to our special agent company... Hehe." Instructor Xu Bin also responded with a smile.

  "That's right, we're sending weapons and ammunition to our special troops... notify them, the whole company is ready for battle, wait for my order to open fire." Zhang Hua smiled and replied, commanding the communication officer Wang Gou Dan behind him.

  At once, the warriors who received the order quietly lay in the trenches under the command of their respective squad leaders, staring tightly at the white dog that was getting closer and closer. At this moment, the Jin-Sui army's mortar also began to fire, and the shells accurately fell on the position, blasting out a crater. However, at this time, the warriors were all lying tightly in the trenches, and the continuously falling shells did not cause much casualties for the warriors.

  Following the sound of mortar fire, it was clear that the two heavy machine guns that had been silent for over ten minutes were now firing again. Perhaps they had been intimidated by Zhang Hua's shooting of the two machine gunners just a moment before. At this time, although the two heavy machine gunners were continuously pulling the trigger, both of them were tightly lowering their heads. Relying on their own feelings, they started firing at the Red Army position 200 meters away, without caring whether they hit the target or not.

  "Old Zhou, it seems that the enemy's heavy machine gunner has been intimidated by you and has become a turtle with its head shrunk in... haha." Seeing the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets flying into the sky, Instructor Xu Bin, who was lying beside him, said with a smile.

  "In that case, this time the Jin-Sui army's attack, we won't have the threat of heavy machine guns... Order the soldiers to aim and fire, one shot at a time... Try to leave as many of these Jin-Sui troops in front of our position as possible." Zhang Hua commanded with a smile. In the blink of an eye, under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars, a company of Jin-Sui troops, led by a company commander, formed a loose skirmish line and slowly pressed towards the silent Special Duty Company's position.

  "Comrades, give me a..." Just as the Shanxi soldiers had just entered 50 meters of shooting range, a command rang out on the silent battlefield. Immediately, the previously silent battlefield suddenly burst forth with countless heads. Rifle after rifle emerged from the trenches, and machine gun after machine gun was set up.

  "Fire... Boom boom boom... Da da da..." With Zhang Hua's order, a burst of gunfire rang out. The dozens of Jin-Sui soldiers who were charging at the front of the entire column were undoubtedly knocked to the ground by this dense barrage. However, the real blow that these Jin-Sui troops suffered had only just begun.

  As the rifle fire ceased, the five light machine guns mounted on the position also opened fire. Since the soldiers had just captured sufficient ammunition, no one needed to worry about running out of bullets anymore. Under the command of Company Commander Zhang Hua, everyone was frantically pulling the trigger, sweeping towards wherever there were more enemy troops...

  In less than half a minute of shooting by the warriors, one battalion of the Jin-Sui army was annihilated. The remaining soldiers were pinned down under enemy command and exchanged fire with the warriors. Unfortunately, without the threat of the enemy's heavy machine guns, the five light machine guns in the hands of the warriors completely dominated the battlefield. The five light machine guns wove a dense web of fire above the heads of these Jin-Sui army soldiers, pressing them down so that they could not even lift their heads, let alone aim and counterattack.

  Slowly, these Jin-Sui soldiers who had fallen to the ground one by one became ghosts under the guns of the warriors. Before long, there were less than 30 Jin-Sui soldiers left on the battlefield who could still move, including their company commander.

  "What the hell, where are our heavy machine guns? Why aren't we being covered by heavy machine guns, why?" The commander of the Shanxi Army company couldn't help but curse loudly as he saw his soldiers being picked off one by one by the Red Army without the cover of heavy machine guns.

  But he didn't know that more than 100 meters away in the rear, a heavy machine gun position was being taken care of by Zhang Hua, the commander of the special operations company. After Zhang continuously hit four heavy machine gunners, the remaining dozen or so gunners looked at the soldiers who were lying on the heavy machine guns with their brains blown out and showed fearful expressions. Even when their platoon leader took out his pistol to threaten them, no one rushed forward to fire.

  "Damn it, the heavy machine gunner is dead... Order the brothers to retreat immediately. Light machine guns cover, the remaining people follow me to retreat, quickly..." Seeing fewer and fewer soldiers around him who could continue to fight back, the commander of the Shanxi Army had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

  Thus, the entire company was left with more than 30 soldiers, under the cover of a light machine gun, slowly crawling towards the rear of the position.

  "Heh heh, finally knew to retreat, but it's too late. Old Xu, wait for me to take out the Jin army's machine gunner, and then our troops will start charging." Zhang Hua said with a smile. At the same time, he turned his gun around, aiming at the Jin army machine gunner who was frantically suppressing firepower.

  "Bang..." Zhang Hua gently pulled the trigger, firing a bullet from the barrel. The light machine gun, which had just been happily spitting out bullets, suddenly fell to the ground with a tilt at the moment the gunshot sounded. And the Jin-Sui army machine gunner, who was lying on the ground, was directly hit by Zhang Hua in the head, half of his skull was blown to pieces, and red and white brain matter splattered all over the place.

  "Comrades, charge! ...” Seeing the enemy's machine gunner had been hit by himself. Zhang Hua did not hesitate, stood up from the trench, and loudly roared to the soldiers beside him. At the same time, he was the first to rush out of the trench and charged towards the Jin army's heavy machine gun position.

  "Charge! Charge!" Seeing their company commander leading the charge, the soldiers' morale soared. Under the leadership of their platoon leaders, they shouted and charged out of the trenches. One group, led by Company Commander Zhang Hua, rushed straight towards the Jin army's heavy machine gun position. Another group, led by Instructor Xu Bin, closely followed the retreating Jin army troops and charged towards the Jin army's main force. At the same time, they fired their guns, trying to inflict as many casualties on the Jin army as possible.

  Two troops, like hungry wolves discovering prey, charged towards their target without hesitation. Especially the row led by Zhang Hua, under his leadership, each of them was like a fierce tiger going down the mountain, rapidly charging towards the Jin army's heavy machine gun position 200 meters away. And Zhang Hua, who was at the forefront of the charge, was shooting and killing any Jin soldier showing any movement on the heavy machine gun position while advancing.

  "Charge... surrender without killing..." In less than two minutes, Zhang Hua led a row of soldiers to the Jin-Sui army's heavy machine gun position. With a loud shout from He Deqing, the six remaining Jin-Sui soldiers on the heavy machine gun position raised their rifles and knelt down.

  "He Deqing, immediately have a few soldiers escort these captives back to the camp. The remaining people leave one class on guard, and the rest start cleaning up the battlefield... Move all two heavy machine guns and all the bullets back for me... Hurry up, seize the time, the main force of the Jin army will react soon, we must rush back to the camp before the enemy's main force reacts." Looking at the two intact heavy machine guns in front of him emitting a blue glow, Zhang Hua smiled and ordered.
