A few mortars fired five rounds of shells and it was over. In the words of the old squad leader: The enemy's shells were not blown by strong winds.
Once the shelling stopped, the battlefield became deathly quiet.
Except that there were about a dozen soldiers missing in the trenches and dozens more enemy corpses in front of the position, there were no other changes.
But Li Hao had too many questions in his heart that needed explanation from the old squad leader.
Climbing up from the trench, he asked directly regardless of the thick layer of soil covering his body.
"Old squad leader, since you know the kid can fire, why do you still attack!"
"If you keep guarding the trenches and use bullets to stop the Japanese, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the casualties just now?"
The old squad leader shook his head and replied: "Do you think the soldiers want to attack under the watchful eyes of the Japanese? Do you think they don't know that the attack just now will cause some avoidable casualties to the troops?"
"I'm telling you, they all know."
"However, even if we know, we still have to attack when it's time to attack, otherwise the enemy will definitely rush into our position, and then the position will be destroyed!"
Li Hao frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Ammunition, the soldiers don't have that much ammunition!"
"The limited ammunition forces them to fire only three rounds of bullets and throw one round of grenades in each round of blocking, and then they have to rush out of the position to launch a countercharge at the enemy and repel them through hand-to-hand combat!"
"Think about it, if you don't use ammunition sparingly and run out of bullets, how will you fight the next battle?"
"Weapons that lose ammunition on the battlefield are no different from fire sticks, so soldiers can only save and save when fighting."
"If the soldiers had enough ammunition, they would not wait until the enemy reached 50 meters before shooting in every round of blocking battle, but would shoot when the enemy was more than 100 meters away!"
Li Hao was deeply shocked and shocked. After thinking for a minute with a frown, he was about to continue asking when the expression of the old monitor next to him changed.
He pressed Li Hao's head into the trench and shouted: "No, Bai Gouzi's attack has started again. Hide and prepare for battle!"
A company of white dogs, in the same formation, covered by the same number of heavy machine guns, slowly pressed toward the position.
"Is the enemy planning to use wheel battles to consume us?" The old squad leader frowned and could see the enemy's plot at a glance.
"It not only consumes our troops and soldiers' physical strength, but also consumes our ammunition!"
"According to this style of play, if we hold on for two more hours, we will be killed here!"
The old squad leader obviously overestimated the current strength of the Second Company. Bullets were flying above his head, and the atmosphere before the battle became increasingly tense. When the enemy was still more than a hundred meters away from the position, a quiet report reached his ears.
"Company Commander, we are almost out of ammunition. We only have three bullets left..."
"I'm almost out of bullets here. There are only three bullets per person in the entire row!"
"We must find a way to get bullets!" Zhang Yu, who was lying in the trench not far away, ordered with a frown.
"During the counter-charge, two soldiers from each group will follow behind Bai Gouzi's defeated troops, rush all the way to the enemy's corpses to get some bullets back, and the others will cover!"
"What a good idea!" Li Hao's eyes lit up and he secretly applauded this idea.
The nearest enemy corpse was less than thirty meters away from the position. When the troops countercharged, it only took a few seconds to rush over and then retreat to the position after taking the bullets. If you were fast, it could be completed in half a minute.
Li Hao is confident that he will be able to escape unscathed with his own skills.
So, I made up my mind to rush out with the troops for a while.
I originally had five bullets, but I used one bullet to treat Zhang Yun's gunshot wound last time. I used three bullets in the previous battle, and now I only have one bullet left.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao only realized this problem after other soldiers mentioned that he had no bullets.
Fortunately, company commander Zhang Yu had a solution to this problem, otherwise the rifle in his hand would really turn into a fire stick.
The old squad leader's judgment was absolutely correct. The attacking enemy came just to consume the second company.
Not only were the attacking troops extremely dispersed, they were also very vigilant.
Almost every two steps forward, you have to stop and observe the situation of the position, and then move forward after confirming that there is no danger, and be ready to lie down at any time.
"Da da da……"
This time Zhang Yu did not issue an order, but lay down next to the machine gunner, taking the sound of the only machine gun in the company as a counterattack order.
The attacking troops were too scattered, and the light machine gun caught them off guard, but a flurry of bullets still only killed three enemies.
"Bang bang bang~"
Other riflemen also joined the fight, and the crackling sound of gunfire quickly rang out.
Li Hao was not in a hurry to shoot.
There was only the last bullet left in the gun chamber, and he didn't want to waste this bullet on ordinary soldiers.
The gunfire in his ears became increasingly sparse, and it must have been when everyone's guns were out of bullets. He finally found the enemy company commander who was hiding at the back of the attacking force.
Quickly put the target into the front sight, steady the rifle, put the butt of the gun on your shoulder, and pull the trigger decisively.
"boom!"
A dull gunshot sounded from the barrel of the gun, and Li Hao quickly put away the gun and squatted down.
Before he could see the results, company commander Zhang Yu began to issue orders again.
"Throw the grenade and prepare the whole company to charge~"
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of grenade explosions sounded outside the trenches, and the soldiers nearby crawled out of the trenches one after another, charging towards the enemy's attacking troops with guns in hand.
I saw the old squad leader holding his rifle and focusing on the battlefield, looking for important shooting targets, without paying attention to himself.
Li Hao's eyes lit up, he seized the opportunity, jumped out of position like a monkey, and followed the counterattack troops to kill the enemy.
"Haozi, come back!"
The nervous and worried voice of the old squad leader came from behind.
Li Hao couldn't care less and continued to rush forward.
He couldn't let the rifle in his hand turn into a fire stick, he wanted bullets.
Counterattacking with the troops to collect bullets from enemy corpses seemed to him the most direct and safest way, and he had to seize this opportunity.
