Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Chapter 1065 Initial Success

Although the brothers had left the armored vehicles and jeeps, the armed strength of each squad was not weak. Compared with the Japanese, two or three companies might not be able to withstand them.

At this moment, some people were carrying iron fists, and some were carrying light machine guns. Our squad only had one way of attacking: to kill the Japanese soldiers with powerful firepower in a very short time, and then run away immediately after we finished.

"Number one is safe."

"Number two is safe."

"Position 3..."

Hearing the sounds coming from inside their ears, the soldiers of the Central Army could hardly believe it. How could there be such an awesome thing?

In fact, each reconnaissance team consists of two people. The person in front drives a two-wheeled motorcycle, while the person behind carries a simple telegraph machine, which can transmit messages in real time.

Everyone in the rear remained in the vehicles. Even if they got out, the captain would have a communication device with him. In short, there was no need to worry about information transmission on the battlefield within the 72nd Army. We could equip ourselves with whatever was available in the world the fastest, and in considerable quantities.

Take these batteries, for example. They are extremely precious in Europe and America, but each of our equipment sets has more than three batteries, so there is no need to worry about running out of power on the battlefield.

Tian Qing raised his right hand and waved it forward twice, signifying that the various units could set off. His forty-odd men immediately split into three small teams.

One of them specifically ran to higher ground, carrying iron fists on their backs and a large number of grenades. When the fighting started, these guys would be the first to fire.

The second unit was stationed downstairs with machine guns and submachine guns to suppress enemy fire. If Iron Fist went to fire when enemy machine guns and submachine guns were spotted, it wouldn't be our problem. But if Iron Fist was busy with something else, our task was to use our firepower to block them and prevent the enemy machine guns from firing.

The third team is a regular squad, armed with semi-automatic rifles. Their mission, besides picking off any stragglers, is primarily to keep an eye on our surroundings and prevent us from being surrounded while we're ambushing others. In short, they're a sentry squad.

“There are people upstairs in Baka Yalu.”

Less than a minute after Tian Qing gave the order, some soldiers on the Japanese position discovered their presence. Dozens of people were walking on a dilapidated building, and many of them had no way to hide when the Japanese searchlights shone on them.

However, they had already mentioned this in the battlefield contingency plan they had formulated, so even if the Japanese discovered them now, the people present had nothing to be afraid of.

Two iron fists on the rooftop fired first, flying over with long trails of smoke, instantly turning an exposed Type 92 heavy machine gun position into two large fireballs.

The eight or nine Japanese soldiers next to the heavy machine gun hadn't even figured out where the fire came from before they too went to meet Amaterasu Omikami along with the machine gun. The other soldiers around them had their faces illuminated by the firelight, and their faces were filled with fear.

Some Japanese soldiers finally realized what was happening and prepared to attack the nearby buildings with their Type 38 rifles. Just as they were searching for enemy troops on the buildings, a dozen or so automatic weapons on the second-to-last floor opened fire with a clang.

Within the Japanese army's ranks, a large group of people were cursing and swearing. They had nowhere to hide. The place these people chose to attack them was to their left and above. The trenches could only defend against enemies in front and behind, so how could they defend against enemies to their left and above?

Moreover, the firepower of these men was simply too overwhelming. The barrage of fire from over a dozen automatic weapons rendered the entire position incapable of retaliating. In addition, the only heavy machine gun nearby was destroyed as soon as the fighting began, and the remaining soldiers only had a chance to fire their Type 38 rifles occasionally.

But with bullets flying everywhere, it was impossible for him to concentrate. He fired a shot randomly and then immediately pulled back the bolt, forgetting all his usual accurate marksmanship.

"Two light machine guns at the eleven o'clock position on the left."

The Japanese company commander immediately brought over two light machine guns from elsewhere. Although the Type 91 light machine gun didn't perform well on the battlefield, if they were to fire at us, many of our men would certainly suffer losses.

With two muffled gunshots, two snipers took over the job, targeting two running Japanese soldiers who were trying to snipe us with their machine guns. Unfortunately, their helmets snapped, and both fell to the ground simultaneously. One of them even plunged into the half-meter-deep trench, clearly doomed.

"Grenade, grenade..."

The Japanese company commander wasn't stupid; he knew that continuing to fight under such circumstances would give them absolutely no advantage, and they would eventually be wiped out by their superiors. So he immediately ordered his men to throw grenades.

The Japanese soldiers were very obedient and threw five or six grenades, but because they were too far away, they couldn't hit the building and exploded about seven or eight meters in front of it. However, they successfully hindered the 72nd Army's attack.

"All team, listen up! Take turns covering as you retreat!"

Tian Qing was very clever at this moment and did not let his brothers continue fighting.

After the Japanese soldiers were covered by those grenades, the others must have come to their senses. Our position has been exposed, and apart from this building, there's no way for us to change our attack location. So, once the fighting resumes, our advantage will be greatly reduced.

Under these circumstances, Tian Qing did not intend to linger in the fight, but instead ordered his men to retreat.

Upon receiving the order, the brothers downstairs quickly threw grenades, making the dissipating smoke thicker. "You can use grenades for cover, and so can we." The brothers on the third floor quickly jumped down the rope, which was the fastest way to get downstairs.

Of course, before jumping, the two remaining brothers on the third floor quickly threw out eight grenades. These things were useless to take back. If these eight grenades killed one of you, or even just injured one of you, it would be a gain for us.

After the machine gunners on the second floor ran out of bullets, they retreated one by one. Whoever still had bullets in their machine gun had to continue holding out, while those who ran out of bullets could retreat first.

The machine gun squad leader held a Czech-made light machine gun. Only after the last person ran away did he take over the last cover position with his own machine gun...
