A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

"Battalion Commander? How does this work?"

Although Chen Shengli had seen Zheng Kaixuan use it several times, he really didn't know how to use it.

"This is easy. When firing, tilt the angle, aim at the target's approximate location, estimate the target distance, adjust the scale, and then release the buckle."

"So simple? Captain, doesn't this require adjusting the shooting angle?"

"If you are a beginner, you don't need to adjust it."

This grenade launcher is actually similar to the indirect launch principle of grenade launchers and mortars. The difference is that it uses a very special spring with super elastic force for ejection.

During operation, experienced mortar operators can use the indirect fire elevation angle and distance to calculate and use it to hit the target more accurately.

If ordinary novices want to operate quickly, they only need to adjust the distance on the scale dial and aim at the target direction.

Even if the angle is wrong, when the grenade reaches the set position, it will fall straight from the air due to exhaustion.

It's a quick operation, and the only drawback is that the landing point can't be particularly accurate. However, with the second-level modified grenade's terrifying explosion radius of more than ten meters, even if it misses the target, the impact will still be small.

"Yes, Captain, I'll do it right away."

Chen Shengli called ten people and immediately rushed to the front line of the battlefield with new equipment.

"System, replace all the Japanese soldiers' epaulettes with triumphal grenade accessories."

When he set out from Wei Zhuang, he already had seven pairs of Japanese epaulettes. Together with the 70 pairs captured from the ambush of the Japanese squadron, Zheng Kaixuan had a total of 77 pairs of epaulettes.

Just consumed 20 pairs of magic modified Triumph level grenades. Consumed pairs of magic modified Triumph level grenade throwers.

There are now forty-seven pairs of epaulettes remaining.

Among these more than forty pairs of epaulettes, the majority were from Japanese privates, with a total of twenty-eight pairs.

Zheng Kaixuan then replaced the twenty-eight pairs of epaulettes with twenty-eight Triumph Level 1 grenade shells.

Afterwards, he quickly disassembled fifty-six grenades and assembled them into a first-level triumph grenade.

"Battalion Commander, this thing you modified is really useful! I just fired two rounds and actually took out a heavy machine gun and a grenade launcher from the Japanese."

As the triumphant grenade took effect, Chen Shengli's face showed excitement.

While Zheng Kaixuan was modifying the grenade, he ran over and kept taking the newly modified Triumph grenade to the front, constantly eliminating the Japanese's firepower points.

Not long after Zheng Kaixuan finished modifying all the grenade shells he had obtained, Chen Shengli and ten others had already fired all the Kaixuan grenades.

Of course, the results achieved are also very obvious.

"Battalion Commander! We destroyed 15 grenade launchers and 12 light and heavy machine guns!"

This time, Zheng Kaixuan modified a total of 48 first-level Triumph grenades. Chen Shengli used these to actually remove 27 heavy firepower.

This achievement is actually very fruitful.

Of course, with the power of the Triumph Grenade, their achievements are far more than that.

At least nearly two hundred more Japanese soldiers died in the explosion of the Triumph grenade.

The Japanese infantry battalion currently only has 5 grenade launchers, 2 heavy machine guns, and 6 light machine guns!

The pressure on the Fourth Battalion was suddenly reduced!

In terms of firepower, the Fourth Battalion, except for the lack of grenade launchers, was able to suppress the Japanese's firepower with its machine guns.

The 4th Battalion had a total of eleven light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and six fully automatic rifles.

In the fierce exchange of fire just now, four light machine guns were destroyed by the Japanese, but there are still seven that can be used, and there is still one heavy machine gun that can be used normally.

There is no problem with the fully automatic rifles, and the firepower of the Fourth Battalion is still strong.

In fact, Zheng Kaixuan can now rely on the powerful continuous firepower of the fully automatic rifle to temporarily suppress the Japanese light and heavy rifles.

If he leads the team to charge now, the balance of victory will largely tilt towards him.

The three Japanese infantry companies, one machine gun company, and one mortar squad originally had about 900 people in total. Now most of them have been wiped out by the Fourth Battalion, and the remaining number is less than !

Until now, the Japs have not rushed into the village.

They built several positions two or three hundred meters outside the village entrance.

The soil of the loess plain was extremely loose. The Japanese used existing bomb craters or relied on the cover of their companions' corpses to quickly dig out countless small pits like rat holes, hiding in them and finding themselves in a dilemma.

They couldn't rush into the village, and they didn't dare to retreat. Once they left the shelter, they would be shot down by the firepower of the Fourth Battalion.

Zheng Kaixuan did not let the soldiers charge.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he can’t!

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the Fourth Battalion also suffered casualties.

Under the fierce attacks of the Japanese just now, with mortars, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion unfortunately lost more than 50 people although they had houses as shelters!

In addition, at least thirty or forty people were injured.

Although most of the soldiers who died were new recruits who had joined the team just a few days ago, Zheng Kaixuan could not even remember the names of many of them.

Although death on the battlefield is a very common thing, Zheng Kaixuan is still very sad.

"They were all good men who stood up to defend their country! They were heroes! But they died at the hands of the Japanese. Brothers, I must avenge you!"

Zheng Kaixuan was extremely heartbroken.

The four battalions he had assembled with great difficulty suffered more than half of their men killed or wounded in the first battle. It was so heartbreaking.

No matter what, he must do his best to protect these surviving brothers and not let them sacrifice again!

So, he was not prepared to charge.

Even if he won a complete victory, what good would it do to charge? How many of his soldiers would be left?

Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.

On the battlefield, you must learn to change according to the changes of the enemy.

Zheng Kaixuan remembered this sentence again.

His original body did not learn in vain at the Army Academy. He not only learned some principles of mechanical mechanics and military tactics, but also had a basic understanding of them.

Zheng Kaixuan's mind raced, and in a blink of an eye he came up with a new battle plan.

Show weakness!

Show that you can't.

Sun Bin, a famous ancient military strategist, once used the "reduction of stoves method" when fighting.

During the march, Sun Bin reduced the number of cooking stoves he built every day to mislead the enemy into thinking that his number of soldiers was decreasing, thus luring the enemy deeper into his territory and defeating them.

Zheng Kaixuan decided to follow the ancients and try a little 'reduced elasticity method!'

As the name suggests, it is to paralyze the enemy and make them mistakenly think that they are out of ammunition!

"The light and heavy machine guns were stopped one after another, and the firing rate of the fully automatic guns was reduced, gradually switching from fully automatic to semi-automatic."

Zheng Kaixuan instructed the machine gunners to quietly withdraw from their combat positions one by one.

The withdrawing machine gunners, led by Wang Xikui, retreated 50 meters to the middle and rear part of the village and set up an ambush.

The frequency of firing of the few remaining gunmen gradually slowed down. In the end, only two or three light machine guns were still firing, and after each burst of bullets, they would pause for a while before continuing to fire reluctantly.

The firepower of the Fourth Battalion gradually weakened, and the Japanese were very sensitive to it.

"Yoshi! The Eighth Route Army is running out of bullets! Warriors of the Empire! Charge immediately! Kill them!"

The Japanese soldiers immediately became excited and, led by a Japanese infantry squadron leader, launched a charge.

"Brothers! Retreat! Retreat to the second line of defense in the village!"

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were excitedly rushing into the village, Zheng Kaixuan retreated quietly with a cold smile on his face.

"Little devils, once you enter the village, don't even think about escaping!"
