Huang Dayou didn't think much and was honest. This time he was really worried that his master and uncle would be in danger.
Although his ability to learn cultural knowledge is not good, he still has basic military knowledge. He knows that if a small team of five or six people wants to block the lifeless attack of more than 100 Japanese soldiers, accurate marksmanship is important, but the density of firepower This is the most critical part of being able to suppress the enemy.
Once the firepower is insufficient for the Japanese troops to rush forward, dangerous scenes of hand-to-hand combat will inevitably occur.
That's why Huang Dayou was willing to risk being scolded by his master and take the initiative to ask Ying to follow him.
Moreover, his current martial arts realm is in the early stages of Jinqi, and his physical strength and speed can barely keep up.
Of course Zhou Wen knew that if Huang Dayou joined, he would be more sure of intercepting the Japanese. But what he considered was that Huang Dayou had not been in the mercenary group for a long time, he had not fully completed the recruit training subjects, and he lacked combat experience. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen to him, so he hesitated a little.
Miaohua suddenly said: "Let him join. The young eagle will have to go through some wind and rain before it can spread its wings and fly high."
Miaohua was actually a little annoyed at first. Not only did she feel that Huang Dayou was overestimating his capabilities, but she also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Huang Dayou during this period, which led to her conditioned reflex to object.
But when he saw Huang Dayou's evasive eyes towards him, and felt that in his heart he was simply thinking about his and Zhou Wen's safety, he couldn't help but soften and agreed.
Since everyone's master agreed, Zhou Wen naturally couldn't object anymore.
At this time, Gao Xiaoshan walked over, took Huang Dayou's machine gun and carried it himself, saying, "I'll help you get the machine gun. Just concentrate on keeping up with the team."
Miaohua reached out and took the machine gun from Gao Xiaoshan's hand. She looked at the stunned Gao Xiaoshan and said, "I am his master, so I'd better take it."
After saying that, he took off Huang Dayou's bullet pouch and hung it up himself, and said to Huang Dayou: "Just follow me closely, remember the essentials of breathing, and just pay attention to your own safety."
You must know that the M-13 machine gun uses a drum magazine with 75 rounds of ammunition. A machine gunner usually carries 4 spare drum magazines with him. In addition, the machine gun has 5 drum magazines for a total of 375 rounds of ammunition. It also comes with a pistol and other equipment. , the weight on the body is at least nearly 20 kilograms.
Moreover, the size of the saddle-shaped drum is too large, and there is no suitable bullet bag to place it. You can only use two hanging bags to carry the four drums cross-body on the left and right sides of the body, making it easier to change ammunition at any time.
After Miaohua took away the machine gun and drum drum, Huang Dayou was left with only a few light equipment such as a pistol and a kettle first aid kit. It was equivalent to marching empty-handed, and the speed would naturally be much faster.
It was rare for Huang Dayou to see his master treat him so kindly. Unconsciously, his eyes were a little red, and he nodded heavily in response.
Miaohua also had some self-examination in her heart, wondering if she was usually too demanding and too harsh on this child.
Everyone packed up neatly and quickly hit the road. Not long after, they disappeared into the dense forest in the distance under the envious eyes of Lei Dahai and others.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Xiaojin and other team members caught up. After hearing Lei Dahai's report, he turned to Li Hu behind him and said, "Dahu, you are in charge of how to fight from behind, and I will listen to you."
This is the humble mind of Zhao Xiaojin, the senior brother.
He knew that he had not experienced many battles, and he lacked command experience. The reason why Zhou Wen asked him to lead the march was mainly to rely on him to guide everyone, but he was about to face a battle, and Zhao Xiaojin was not willing to show off in vain. He can't play with the lives of his brothers. He is not suitable to be a battlefield commander now.
So he immediately delegated command authority to Li Hu.
Among the old brothers in the mercenary group, those who surpass Li Hu in terms of marksmanship and military skills are Ergazi and Niu Bao. In terms of martial arts, Sun Dazhu of the assault team also has to hold him steady.
But when it comes to having a calm personality and a strong outlook on the overall situation, it’s Li Hu.
This is not Zhao Xiaojin’s unilateral view, but Zhou Wen, Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua all think so. And I also try to train him regularly.
Now is an opportunity to train Li Hu to be independent.
Li Hu also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious and modest, so he stood up and said: "I have thanked the senior brother and brothers for their trust. I don't have any clever tricks. I just need to catch up with the Japanese without fighting, and just stick behind them." . When the scholars and others start fighting from the front, we will attack from behind and try to eat up these devils in a short time."
Li Hu also took care of his emotions and consulted Ergazi and Sun Dazhu for their opinions. Seeing that no one had objections, he set off with his team.
Now they were almost half an hour away from the Japanese.
Although the marching speed of these members of the first detachment is much slower than that of Zhou Wen and others, it is much faster than that of the Japanese who are almost exhausted.
In addition, Li Hu also ordered everyone to leave their backpacks and unnecessary weights where they were, so it wouldn't be a big deal to catch up with the Japanese.
Lei Dahai, Xiao Shui and Xiao Qi continued to stay where they were, waiting for the second squadron to come up.
The feeling of loss in their hearts was not taken into account during the battle. Besides, the three of them walked on the mountain road all night and chased the Japanese for a sneak attack. Their current physical strength and physical condition did not allow them to participate in the battle again.
Li Hu and the others pursued lightly, and it took less than twenty minutes to catch up with the Japanese rear team. After hearing the report from Zhao Xiaojin, who was the leading soldier, Li Hu ordered to follow quietly behind the Japanese in battle formation.
The so-called battle formation is already familiar to the old brothers, as if it is engraved in their bones.
The two assault groups were in front, forming a skirmish line with a width of 100 meters, led by Zhao Xiaojin, and always maintained a distance of 4-500 meters from the Japanese rear team.
50 meters behind the left is Ergazi's rifle group, and 50 meters behind the right is Niu Bao's rifle group 2, forming an inverted triangle tactical formation.
Li Hu's second rifle group is in the middle. Behind him is Cui Dayong's artillery group (now there is only one artillery gun), and behind him on the right is the machine gun group led by Liu Hei with five machine guns. They are also in an inverted triangle formation.
Someone here may ask, isn't the leader of the machine gun team Uncle Ma? Why didn't he come?
It turned out that after the mercenary group brought down the external operations, Zhou Wen arranged for Uncle Ma to serve as a machine gun instructor in Zhao Changshu's model brigade, considering Uncle Ma's age and physical inconvenience.
Although Uncle Ma was not happy, he also knew his physical condition.
As the martial arts and physical fitness of these young men in the first team became better and better, and the tactical requirements of the mercenary group became more and more sophisticated, Uncle Ma's body could no longer keep up with the rhythm of the battle.
