Chapter 356: It took more than 2 bullets to kill one Japanese soldier. Is it a profit or a loss?

Of course, this tactic also has its obvious disadvantage, which is that it is easy to expose the core of the enemy's attack. As long as we can eliminate a large number of enemy soldiers with plaster flags, we can greatly weaken the enemy's overall combat effectiveness.

It’s a pity that these elite soldiers of the enemy have too much combat experience and first-class ability to survive, so it is not an easy task to kill them on the battlefield.

Our troops have fought the enemy for so many years and have found a way to deal with it. That is to concentrate all the strength of the troops, create a few sharpshooters, use the best weapons and the most bullets they can find, and when fighting the enemy, choose to kill those Japanese devils who are holding plaster flags as the first time.

Even if the enemy dodges our attack, we must chase them and fight them, preventing them from commanding and disrupting their offensive rhythm.

The shooting effect just now was quite good. This volley killed about eight Japanese soldiers, including three flag bearers, and injured three others.

Seeing this, the enemy immediately lay on the ground and fired at us with their Type 38 rifles. However, we had complete fortifications and naturally had the advantage of geographical location.

The grenade throwers following behind the infantry also lay down, ready to bombard our positions with grenades.

However, because we were firing with rifles just now, the Japanese suddenly suffered from decision-making difficulty syndrome and could not find any valuable targets at all.

According to the enemy's combat regulations, grenade launchers generally attack light machine guns or heavy machine gun positions, mainly because these are continuous-fire suppression weapons that require continuous shooting.

Rifles are too flexible, and most of the time they would hide in the trenches after firing a shot, so the probability of a direct hit is too low.

However, faced with this unfavorable situation, the enemy's squad leader ordered all grenade launchers to attack our positions to cover the infantry's attack.

On Yi Dachuan's side, after killing an enemy, he quickly ejected the shell and reloaded the gun, moved the muzzle, and killed a Japanese soldier whose position and purpose he did not know. Anyway, he just wanted to kill the enemy as quickly as possible and did not bother to find valuable targets.

Next, the two sides entered the stage of mutual shooting. There was no need for us to rush because we had enough bullets. We just stayed in the strong fortifications and shot with rifles.

The Japanese were also suppressed by our volley guns. It was probably impossible for them to stand up and charge at this time. They could only choose to crawl on the ground and slowly approach our position.

This kind of shooting confrontation is the most challenging test of the basic qualities of soldiers on both sides, especially in terms of marksmanship, where the Japanese have an absolute advantage.

Especially those elite veterans, they could hit the target with every bullet at a distance of one hundred meters. Many new recruits were hit just by sticking their heads out or stretching out their hands.

At the same time, light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers in the enemy's rear opened fire one after another, suppressing the rifle fire of our soldiers.

Faced with this situation, Company Captain Meng of the 1st Company also ordered our light machine guns to open fire, using dense bullets to block the enemy's attack.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for a company of our troops to resist the attack of a squad of Japanese devils. The reason why we can fight to the current situation is mainly because we have sufficient ammunition.

Only twenty minutes had passed and almost five hundred bullets had been used up. This would have been unthinkable in the past.

Yi Dachuan aimed his rifle at a Japanese grenadier and, using the range of his Ma Sihuan, shot and killed a Japanese grenadier at a distance of 300 meters from the enemy. After doing all this, he quickly moved his position with his rifle. Two minutes later, several bullets and a grenade hit the position where he had just been. It was really thrilling.

After fighting for about half an hour, Captain Qinggu felt that he could no longer test anything, so he quickly ordered the attacking Japanese soldiers to take turns to cover each other and evacuate the battlefield.

The soldiers of the first company launched a final attack on the Japanese in the trenches, killing several of the Japanese who were lagging behind.

In this battle, our two companies consumed more than 1,200 rounds of bullets, killing and wounding more than 50 enemies in total, almost killing an enemy squad, and we suffered 28 casualties.

After Captain Jiang understood the situation, he nodded with satisfaction and said to the instructor with a smile:

"There are enough bullets here, and it's exciting to fight. In the positional warfare, we almost achieved a 2:1 casualty ratio with the enemy, which is a very remarkable achievement."

However, after hearing this, Instructor Cao smiled bitterly and said:

"The results are quite significant, but the cost is also high. The data reported by the two company commanders just now is amazing. Over 1,200 rounds of ammunition were consumed."

"Many recruits had no idea of saving ammunition and directly used up a magazine of five bullets. One rifleman fired eight bullets, but he didn't kill or injure a single Japanese soldier. It was a huge waste."

"This is only the first small-scale engagement, and we have already consumed so much ammunition. In the past, this would be nearly 30% of our ammunition. If it happens twice more, all our stored ammunition will be used up."

"If we continue to fight like this, after the battle, you and I will definitely be severely criticized by the regiment commander and the political commissar. We will even have to make self-criticisms in public at the meeting."

After hearing this, Captain Jiang smiled and said, "These new recruits are lucky. When I was carrying rifles, the whole squad only had five outdated rifles with three calibers of bullets, which only had more than 7.7 rounds of ammunition. Lao Wang from the Third Regiment and I were in the same squad. We shared a rifle of unknown brand produced in some country, and the caliber seemed to be mm."

"But I have to say, that gun is really useful. It fires very quickly, just like a machine gun. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough bullets."

"At that time, the two of us only had twelve rounds of bullets. After we finished shooting, the gun was completely scrapped. After all, a rifle without bullets and a bayonet is probably no better than a firewood stick."

"Fortunately, God opened my eyes. I used that rifle and twelve rounds of bullets to kill three white dogs. I also seized two Hanyang rifles, one for me and Lao Wang, and forty rounds of bullets. From then on, we were considered the most elite veterans."

"But with our current resources, we used 1,200 rounds of ammunition and killed more than 50 Japanese soldiers. No matter how you calculate it, it's a profit for us. This time, there are only more than 800 Japanese soldiers in total. According to this ratio, at most 50,000 rounds of ammunition can kill all the Japanese soldiers. This is simply a huge profit."
