The M1917A1 water-cooled machine gun has good sustained firepower, but the gun is too heavy at more than 30 kilograms, so it was used by the platoon to form a five-man machine gun team. Zhou Qingfeng took away the M1919A6 weighing more than ten kilograms, plus
Three ammunition boxes and dozens of MK2 grenades.
Zhou Qingfeng originally planned to give the M1919A6 to the "old machine gun", but the other party looked at the American machine gun and shook his head: "There will be a war soon. If you give me this, I won't be able to use it for a while."
Nowadays, machine guns are in short supply. It is an exaggeration to have two light machine guns in one squad. Although the "crooked handle" of the "old machine gun" is a bit bad, it is still a machine gun after all. And this gun would not be possible if it is not a well-trained shooter.
If you don't use it well, it won't be able to exert its power to others.
So..., this extra machine gun can only be used by Zhou Qingfeng himself. Only he has the physical strength to run on the battlefield with a machine gun weighing more than ten kilograms, hundreds of bullets and more than a dozen grenades.
Anyone else would have died of exhaustion.
"Okay, we are a sharp knife squad. If we have an extra machine gun, we will have to work more." Zhou Qingfeng took out the trophy watch he had hidden. The time was eight o'clock in the morning on October 31st. Thirty hours later.
, the Battle of Yunshan, where the Chinese and American armies collide for the first time, is about to begin.
"Come on, come on... let's eat and drink. We're going to start working soon." Zhou Qingfeng handed the mortar to the company headquarters in exchange for a dozen captured US military K meals.
Now everyone in the class has a box, and everyone is smiling. This is much better than fried soybeans. Zhou Qingfeng devoured three boxes by himself. After all, you can only fight when you are full!
"We are organized into three combat groups, one for me, one for the deputy squad leader, and one for the 'old machine guns'." Zhou Qingfeng gathered his team members together but sighed a little. With these few people and equipment, he wanted to fight the Americans.
The tanks of the heavy armored division are really a fantasy.
"We have machine guns that can deal with infantry, but we still lack anti-tank weapons." Zhou Qingfeng muttered in his heart. He had a head-on confrontation with the M1A3 tank of the "Skull and Bones" in New York, but he fled.
The feeling of being bombarded by tanks is terrible. As long as the tactics are correct and the coordination is favorable, tanks can completely crush the infantry. When the British conducted Operation "Market Garden", they were defeated by a half-disabled SS armored division.
No, this is the consequence of using infantry to fight tanks.
Precisely because tanks are so powerful, there are all kinds of anti-tank weapons. But what do the volunteers have? It seems... nothing. Not even the Soviet-style anti-tank grenades that will be used in exchange for tanks in the future.
It's distributed.
At present, the only thing the volunteers have that can threaten tanks is... the blasting tube. But Zhou Qingfeng really doesn't want to use that thing, because unless he fills it with his life, it will be difficult to send the blasting tube under the tank's tracks.
With the current level of equipment of the Volunteer Army, anyone who wants to confront the Americans has a brain problem. The Volunteer Army's several disastrous defeats in the Korean battlefield were all due to such stupid things, and each time they suffered heavy casualties. Zhou Qingfeng decided to continue.
According to his own plan, he was going to do reconnaissance work.
"Platoon leader, is the heavy machine gun easy to use?"
In the mountains where the army was hidden, Zhou Qingfeng found the platoon leader who was beaming. The latter was organizing and training his newly formed heavy machine gun team. He was really smiling from ear to ear.
"It's easy to use, it's easy to use, it's easy to use." Not only the platoon leader is happy, but no one in the whole platoon is unhappy. Whether it is offense or defense, there is a heavy machine gun to dominate the formation, the safety factor is greatly increased, and the probability of success is also increased several times.
, the sacrifices made are much smaller.
"But if you have a heavy machine gun, you need to protect it. If the enemy finds it, you will definitely want to kill it as soon as possible." Zhou Qingfeng said, "good words to persuade."
This is true. Americans have always liked to use artillery when encountering obstacles, but these words just made people unhappy. The platoon leader was in high spirits, and when he heard this 'advice', his face turned dark and he said unhappily.
: "I said you're a big guy, aren't you tired after a long night of work?"
"I'm not tired." Zhou Qingfeng stood at attention and said sternly: "I've eaten and drank enough, and I'm in good spirits. Yesterday, the deputy platoon leader promised that I could get a machine gun, so he asked me to do the reconnaissance mission. This is a big statement.
It can't be ignored.
Think about it, if you want to keep this precious heavy machine gun, shouldn’t you learn more about the enemy’s situation? As long as I capture a few prisoners and come back, I’ll make sure I understand everything.”
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's aura of not being afraid of the sky or the earth, the platoon leader couldn't laugh or cry, "There is a special reconnaissance mission in the company, so don't get involved."
"The reconnaissance mission in the company is also accomplished by recruiting capable personnel. Am I not capable? If you think I am not capable, just return the machine gun to me and I will talk to other platoons." Zhou Qingfeng was as generous as a hob.
Meat, you won’t give up until you reach your goal.
These scornful words made the platoon leader angry, "Young man Zhou, if you dare to touch my machine gun, I will fight with you, and you won't spit out anything that comes into my hands. You want to go out of the mission."
, right? I also want to test whether you have this ability."
In the army, only the strong will always be obeyed. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be pulled out. Zhou Qingfeng said to himself: I just want to go out and conduct reconnaissance, why is it so difficult?
But there was no way. Zhou Qingfeng stood up again, raised his head and said: "Platoon leader, just be more polite and say what you have to say."
The platoon leader considered it for a moment and said seriously: "Our troops are now deployed in the southeast of Yunshan, and are pressing against the enemies of Yunshan in a three-sided surrounded situation. And there are many peripheral hills near us that are under the control of the Nanbang Army.
, the battle begins and these mountains must be broken through quickly.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Nanbang army is a bit poor, we cannot underestimate the enemy. Last night, our superiors assigned a mission, and our target was one of the hills."
While talking, the platoon leader drew a terrain map on the ground. He pointed to a point and said: "This is a cliff. There should be an enemy machine gun position on the top of the cliff.
This position poses a great threat to us. If you really want to move around, find a way for me to attack this machine gun position from behind."
As soon as he looked at the map drawn by the platoon leader, Zhou Qingfeng knew what was happening to him. He had read the war history with an old screenwriter at the Bayi Factory. In order to lay down this machine gun position, the 347th Regiment came out with a gun.
A fighting hero who fell off a cliff with his enemies.
"Platoon leader, I understand." Zhou Qingfeng immediately saluted and took over the task. A company of the 347th Regiment that had fought in this machine gun position could not raise its head, and finally managed to break through by sacrificing a soldier.
He had seen the map, and he could save a lot of sacrifices by finding the road.
"Hey..., are you going now?" Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was about to leave immediately, the platoon leader shouted quickly: "Are you going at night or going to die in broad daylight?"
Zhou Qingfeng said in his heart: How can I delay it until night? He said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I walk through mountains and ridges as if I were walking on flat ground. No one will be discovered when I go out in broad daylight."
Waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to leave happily, the platoon leader had no choice but to say with conviction: "This kid is really lively and energetic, and he is so bold in everything he does. He is really going to shake things up!"
