Chapter 87: A Small Win (3)

Just as Vasily was full of anger and wondering whether he would temporarily withdraw his troops, the major inspecting the battlefield suddenly brought a soldier in the artillery company that fled into the dense forest.

Seeing Major General Vasily, the artillery soldiers with panic and close to collapse seemed to have found their backbone and cried loudly to Vasily: "Secretary Commander, you must avenge the Imperial Warriors who died in the artillery company. The warriors died so miserably. The whole battle was a massacre, and the bandits unilaterally massacre of us..."

"To be honest, don't you say this nonsense earlier! As long as you can find those who attack the artillery, the Major General will definitely avenge you..." Seeing Vasily's brow suddenly frowned, the Major decisively interrupted the other party's cry and ordered loudly...

"Yes, sir..." The old Russian artilleryman who was crying at Vasily, immediately thought of the major's repeated explanations to him.

Then, he quickly reported to Major General Vasily: "Teacher Commander, the bandits who attacked us have just retreated less than twenty minutes ago. Bei Yi saw their retreat direction... They brought cannons and couldn't walk fast. If we pursue them now, we will definitely be able to catch up with them..."

Upon hearing this news, Vasily seemed to find a life-saving straw in despair, and a glimmer of hope ignited again on his gloomy and solemn face.

Then, the whole person seemed to be crazy, grabbed the collar of the artillery regardless of his image and asked loudly: "What you said is true... If you lie about military information, you will lose your head..."

"What Beizhi said is true. Beizhi is willing to lead the way for the division commander, catch up with the bandits, destroy them, and avenge the warriors who died in the artillery company..."

Hearing this, Major General Vasily no longer hesitated.

Immediately gathered the troops and, under the leadership of the artillery, pursued the guard company.

At this time, the investigation company, with more than 80 remaining troops, had already joined forces with the guard company and escorted the capture and retreating together.

However, not long after, the brothers who were investigating later brought back the news of the Russian chasing them to the two company commanders.

Looking at the six mountain cannons and dozens of large baggage vehicles moving slowly in front of him, Zhang Shanlin and Li Xiaohu knew that they were definitely not a match for the Russians when they marched urgently.

Since they can't run away from each other, the two companies can only block the Russians here for the sake of the captures behind them.

"We have eight light machine guns here, and six heavy machine guns from the Russians... and there are many Russians, so in terms of firepower, we are definitely not their opponents..." Zhang Shanlin analyzed with a serious look on his face.

"However, we have an advantage that the old men do not have, that is, light machine guns can be transferred at any time, but heavy machine guns cannot..."

"Also, the old Russian heavy machine gun company caught me off guard on the way back to the rescue. Although the heavy machine gun did not lose a single heavy machine gun, the heavy machine gunner lost more than half of it..."

"If we can find another opportunity, we will hit the old heavy machine gun company hard and kill all the heavy machine gunners."

"Even if the Russians temporarily draw people from infantry to become machine gunners during the battle, they will not be able to exert the power of the heavy machine gun. At that time, the Russians will no longer threaten our heavy machine guns..."

Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Platform Commander Zhang, do you already have any ideas..."

"Well, the commander once took us to fight the same battle. You were there at that time... At that time, we only had a light machine gun, and the other party had a heavy machine gun, and there were more people than us... The commander buried an ambush on the battlefield at that time, and finally won..." Zhang Shanlin answered thoughtfully.

Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up and he said with excitement: "I remembered that we were fighting on the way back to the mountain village from Lushun..."

"I'm confident when that battle sounded...Captain Zhang, tell me, how should we fight..."

Zhang Shanlin did not hesitate and immediately expressed his thoughts.

After half an hour of continuous pursuit, Vasily could clearly see the wheel marks left by the large carts on the mountain road.

At the same time, the slow horse stayed in the mountain road and was still blazing with a hint of hot horse manure, telling Vasily directly that he was not far from the bandits who attacked his artillery.

Just as Vasily was about to urge his subordinates to speed up again, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the forefront.

As soon as Vasily raised his telescope, he saw more than a dozen soldiers in the avant-garde squad. Under the storm of the bandits' attack troops, the entire army was destroyed, and no one survived.

Although the losses of more than a dozen subordinates made Vasily heartbroken.

However, not only did Vasily's face not have any serious expressions at all, but a hint of excitement flashed...

He shouted to his subordinates: "Soldiers, we have heavy machine guns and fight head-on. The bandits are definitely not our opponents... The bandits must have been forced by us, otherwise they would never fight head-on with us..."

"Covering heavy machine guns, the 7th Company rushed forward, eliminated the bandits who wanted to stop us, and regained the artillery and supplies they stolen..." Vasily, who made a simple judgment on the battlefield situation, ordered with excitement as if he had eaten chicken blood.

For Vasily, this is his only chance to turn defeat into victory...

For ordinary Russian soldiers, this is their opportunity to wash away their shame and avenge their comrades.

Therefore, they carried out the offensive orders against Vasily in particular.

In less than two minutes, six heavy machine guns were placed less than 300 meters away from the guards and began to strafuse.

An old Russian from a company also lined up in a scattered line and rushed towards the guard company under the cover of heavy machine guns.

I originally thought that under the crazy shooting of six heavy machine guns, the bandits standing in front of me would definitely turn into turtles, or be directly beaten and collapsed.

However, Vasily saw the completely opposite scene.

Veterans accounted for a large proportion of the guard companies and the reconnaissance companies, and they kept firing fire to counterattack.

Especially their machine guns, every time they fire a few bullets, they will be transferred to their positions, making their six heavy machine guns unable to concentrate on suppressing them.

It was not until this moment that Vasily clearly saw that the other party was equipped with not heavy machine guns, but light machine guns that were not equipped with even the imperial army.

Faced with this situation, Vasily immediately adjusted his deployment...

"Order the heavy machine gun company to draw out four heavy machine guns, and light machine guns specifically to suppress bandits... the other two heavy machine guns, fire the opponent's infantry... the seventh company to speed up the attack..."

Because the time was too short, the Guard Company and the Reconnaissance Company did not have time to dig trenches, and everyone used the terrain to lie on the ground to block the Russians.

Therefore, when the Russians specially pulled out two heavy machine guns to shoot them, the casualties of the two companies immediately rose.

In this way, both the offensive Russians and the Russians watching the battle were staring at the battlefield, believing that victory was already waving to him.

"Dadada..." At this moment, a dense sound of machine gun strafing suddenly sounded in the forest less than 30 meters away from the heavy machine gun position.

At the moment when the gunfire sounded, machine gunners on the heavy machine gun positions were cut to the ground by bullets.
