Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

When the Japanese soldiers were crouching to attack our positions, they were suddenly hit hard by the front-line troops.

According to past experience, the Eighth Route Army troops would usually wait until the enemy was about 50 meters away before opening fire. Because our troops were so short of ammunition, they could only wait until the enemy was closer before shooting in order to increase their hit rate.

However, in this situation, although the hit rate is improved, the distance between the two sides is too close, and it is easy for the Japanese to break through our defensive position. This is also the reason why we generally do not like to fight positional warfare, mainly because we cannot afford it.

The Japanese infantry were well aware of this situation, so at a distance of 150 meters, although the enemy infantry were somewhat vigilant, the number was not high, and the Japanese squad leader even urged the soldiers to speed up their advance.

The Japanese soldiers operating four grenade launchers in the back had already been lying on the ground, staring at the direction of our position with fierce eyes. As long as our light and heavy machine guns opened fire, they would fire grenade launchers to destroy our limited heavy weapons and equipment.

The effective range of the Japanese grenade launcher can reach 500 meters. Because it is indirect fire, the operator can just lie down on the ground and keep the body very low to avoid being attacked by our direct fire.

Moreover, this compact weapon was developed and designed by the Japanese specifically for their short stature, and no matter how much training other people get, they will never be able to reach their level.

Unfortunately, today they encountered a group of people who did not play by the rules, which immediately turned the battle into a fierce shootout.

When the Japanese troops approached within 120 meters of the position, the soldiers of the Second Battalion opened fire on the enemy with their rifles.

However, firing is still very particular. Hanyang rifles are basically used in groups of five, using volley tactics to kill the enemy. Even if a recruit has poor marksmanship, he can hit one or two of the five bullets. Even if he cannot kill the enemy, at least injuring a Japanese soldier is not bad.

As for the veterans, they used Type 38 rifles, usually in groups of two, specifically to deal with a small Japanese soldier. Only the sharpshooters of the army or the elite veterans with outstanding marksmanship used the Ma Sihuan rifle for free shooting.

Yi Dachuan was a soldier in the third squad, second platoon, first company, second battalion, second regiment of the Fifth Military Sub-district. Before joining the army, he was a hunter and had followed his father to hunt in the woods for a living since he was a child.

But since the Japanese came, they have been burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities everywhere. The people in the surrounding villages have suffered. Many houses have been burned down by the Japanese, and there are homeless people everywhere.

His father took up his ancestral hunting rifle and joined the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. He formed a team together with other blacksmiths, farmers, fishermen, woodcutters, barbers, waiters and other people from all walks of life, and tried every means to deal a certain blow to the invaders.

It was fine at the beginning. Yi Dachuan often heard news of the team's victories, especially his father, who killed two Japanese devils with his own hands. He has always been proud of it.

However, as the large Kuomintang troops in several nearby counties withdrew, the Japanese mobilized most of their forces back to encircle and suppress the guerrillas, and the number of people in our team became fewer and fewer.

Until one day, Yi Dachuan received the news of his father's death. His beloved father died in a battle that didn't even have a name, and even his body could not be found.

That year, Yi Dachuan was only seventeen years old. Without any hesitation, he entrusted his mother and younger brother to the care of his uncle's family and resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army.

Relying on the shooting skills he had learned since childhood, he soon became a famous sharpshooter in the Second Regiment. At least eight Japanese soldiers died at his hands. As for the puppet troops, such cannon fodder, he was too lazy to count them.

Originally, with his military service and military achievements, he could have been promoted to platoon leader, but Yi Dachuan refused. He still preferred to be a soldier on the front line, so that he could use the rifle in his hand to fight the Japanese and avenge his family and all the bullied villagers.

Yi Dachuan had a habit. Whenever he successfully killed an enemy, he would draw a line on the wooden butt of his favorite gun. There were eight lines drawn on that Type 38 rifle, which meant that he had killed eight Japanese devils.

However, the rifle he used today did not have a single engraved line. This was a new rifle, and it was also the legendary Mazda3 rifle with the best performance.

Although the Type 38 rifle he had used before performed quite well, especially with his careful maintenance, all the parts of the rifle were about 80% new. At the same time, killing Japanese soldiers with their rifles was also a popular thing to see.

However, faced with a rifle that completely crushed the Japanese Type 38 rifle in terms of performance, Yi Dachuan only considered for three seconds before turning the Type 38 rifle with medals engraved on the buttstock into Mrs. Niu.

After all, the elite veterans of the Japanese devils are also very good at shooting. When confronting sharpshooters of the same level on the battlefield, it is good to have a little advantage. Sometimes a difference of one point can determine victory or defeat as well as life or death.

After all, the Japanese's Type 38 rifle was developed and designed for the Japanese's body shape. No matter how much our soldiers adapt to it, they always feel that something is missing, unless they can crush them with marksmanship.

I heard that the latest Ma Sihuan rifle has been optimized in details according to the body shape of the Chinese people, making it more suitable for our soldiers' usage habits.

This is one of the advantages of our own arsenal being able to mass-produce firearms. If they were all purchased from abroad, as long as they were produced according to the design drawings of foreign arsenals, it would be impossible to make changes easily.

As for seizing weapons from the enemy, there is no choice but to use whatever you encounter.

Although the two sentences, "using people to adapt to guns" and "using guns to adapt to people", have almost the same number of words, they represent completely different concepts.

The former represents a kind of helplessness, while the latter represents a positive and enterprising spirit.

Just now, Yi Dachuan made his first kill with his beloved rifle, a Japanese soldier with a plaster flag tied to his rifleman. The bullet hit the enemy directly in the chest, leaving no possibility of survival.

As for why we give priority to killing the Japanese chess players, there is a very specific reason for this.

In all battles, ancient and modern, both in China and abroad, flags have played a guiding role, and the Japanese infantry took this tactic to the extreme.

In small-scale battles, those who carry this kind of plaster flag are veterans with the most combat experience, usually sergeants and non-commissioned officers. They form a combat team of three or five people and constantly attack our positions under the command of this plaster flag. This is the core of the enemy's small-scale troop attack.

This tactic is very useful, especially when a unit has a large number of such grassroots non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level. The combat effectiveness they demonstrate is very strong. Even if we have repelled the enemy's attack, as long as the veterans like them do not suffer heavy casualties, they will rest for a while and replenish a certain number of troops and then launch another attack.
