Of course, this does not mean that Uncle Ma is useless. Zhou Wen always regards Uncle Ma as a valuable talent in the mercenary group, and is only prepared to use his role in cultivating new people.
Uncle Ma is a veteran who has experienced countless wars since the warlord melee period. He needs experience and skills. Moreover, in Dawangzhuang, he watched how Zhou Wen trained his brothers step by step. He knew how to train recruits and cultivate excellent machine guns.
Shooters are already very experienced.
Not to mention anything else, the five members of the machine gun team from Liu Hei down in the first team are now all excellent machine gun shooters, which shows how well Uncle Ma can lead his apprentices.
Although the future mercenary regiment will not expand the front-line combat troops on a large scale, the establishment of a reserve team is still necessary.
Think about it, the eight-year arduous war of resistance will soon begin. The front-line troops of the mercenary regiment will have to go through countless battles. Casualties are inevitable. The reserve team must do all kinds of training and be ready to supplement the front-line troops at any time.
of losses.
Uncle Ma is regarded by Zhou Wen as the chief instructor of the future reserve force, and his role cannot be underestimated.
Just look at how Uncle Ma was sent to serve as the machine gun instructor of the Model Brigade for only a few days. Zhao Changshu hinted to Zhou Wen from time to time whether he should transfer Uncle Ma to the Model Brigade and settle down. It can be seen that someone like Uncle Ma can both go into battle.
Anyone who kills enemies and knows how to train new recruits is a prize in the eyes of the commander, no matter which army he is in.
Of course Zhou Wen would not agree, not to mention that Uncle Ma would not be willing to leave the mercenary group.
You must know that Uncle Ma is of the same generation as Wang Huzi and others, and is an elder in the mercenary group. There are only four people left in the entire mercenary group: Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wei, and Uncle Ma.
As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
And now the only four old men who are left are all the treasures of the mercenary group. With them, the old brothers of the mercenary group have support and support in their hearts. Not to mention these old men are in the mercenary group.
The role of the group.
Needless to say, Uncle Wu is the chief logistics manager of the mercenary group. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wei are also good at logistics.
These people are trustworthy to Zhou Wen. Whenever there is a war, Zhou Wen will just leave the logistics to any one of them and they will handle it for you.
Zhou Wen had not even had time to coax these treasures, so how could he give them to others, not even his own seniors?
However, it was said that the brothers who led a detachment led by Li Hu followed the Japanese for less than three miles when they heard sudden and fierce gunfire from in front. As long as you listened to the familiar firing rhythm, you knew that it was Zhou Wen and the others who had already followed the Japanese.
There was an exchange of fire.
Li Hu waved his hand, and more than forty figures like wolves and tigers rushed towards the Japanese rear team.
"Da da da……"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Beep! Beep..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Before anyone arrived, all kinds of bullets and artillery shells came from behind the Japanese.
Now the firepower coverage of a detachment is not just to attack the enemy at random, but also to hit different targets according to the different positions of the inverted triangle formation. The artillery hits the front, the machine gun sweeps the middle, the charge-gun hits the front, and the rifle searches for the enemy machine
Gunners and grenadiers.
In just an instant, a Japanese team at the rear was beaten to the point of crying, and they broke up and fled without even having time to react effectively.
However, Li Hu felt no joy in his heart. Instead, he felt terrified and shouted: "No, the Japanese have no fighting spirit. I'm afraid they will all rush towards the scholars and the others."
Li Hu has fought against the Japs more than once or twice, and has a deep understanding of the Japs' fighting methods and fierce fighting spirit.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Japanese were suddenly attacked, they would not be able to flee without a fight. Instead, they would organize a defense on the spot and seek opportunities to counterattack.
The current situation can only show that the Japanese have no intention of fighting and only want to escape.
Some people may ask, wouldn't it be better if the Japanese didn't have the will to fight? Just chase and beat up the drowned dogs.
But there is an old saying on the battlefield that a defeated army is easier to pursue than to stop.
Think about it, although the Japanese have lost their will to fight and only want to escape, it does not mean that they have lost their fighting ability.
On the contrary, in order to find a way to survive, they just kept moving forward and ignored bullets and shells on the way to escape. If they were killed, it would be yours. If I couldn't be killed, I would save my life.
With this desperate mentality, they would no longer care about battle formations or front-to-back arrangements, but would rush forward in a swarm.
Since he is on the run, he will definitely unleash his unprecedented potential and break through all the obstacles in front of him.
Moreover, don't forget that the military quality of these Japanese soldiers is not bad. Even if they have no fighting spirit, the muscle memory of those who have been trained for a long time will not be lost, the bullets fired will still be accurate, and the grenades that should be fired will not be idle.
With more than 100 people lining up and rushing in this kind of chaos, even if Zhou Wen and the others were masters of guns and artillery, they only had eight people, and it was impossible to knock them all down in just ten seconds.
What's more, with this kind of mountainous terrain, the line of sight is blocked, and it's impossible to take care of every direction.
However, the Japanese's unstructured charging and fighting could easily cause casualties to Zhou Wen and the others.
That's why Li Hu felt that Zhou Wen and the others were in a bad situation, so he quickly led his brothers to chase after the Japanese rear group and beat them forward quickly.
But the Japanese rear team was a small team, with at least fifty people. Although more than thirty people were knocked down immediately, the remaining ones scattered instantly. It would not be possible to catch up and kill them in a short time.
of.
Not to mention humans, even if there are twenty or so pigs running around in the mountains, it will still take a lot of effort no matter how strong your martial arts skills are.
Therefore, Li Hu and the others were extremely anxious, and they could not just leave these devils alone and just rush forward, which would inevitably waste a lot of time.
At this time, Zhou Wen and the others had already felt the pressure, and the originally eight-person formation had to shrink together to cover each other.
To say that there were more than a hundred Japanese soldiers who would not have forced Zhou Wen and the masters into this situation, but just because Zhou Wen and the others fired, the Japanese soldiers rushed up without any regard for the situation, as if Zhou Wen and the others' gunshots were the order.
The signal is average.
It turned out that after the Japanese squadron leader was beaten to a disability and fell into a coma, several squad leaders were not new to the battlefield. Based on the previous sneak attacks, they analyzed and reached a consensus that their squadron had been attacked by the Chinese squadron.
The army is on the lookout.
They have already experienced and understood the power and ferocity of this Chinese army called the Central Party Headquarters Instruction Corps.
Just kidding, the elite troops of the Kuroda Cavalry Regiment and Engineer Regiment can be easily annihilated, but their small squadron does not have the confidence to shake a big tree like a fly.
