Battalion Commander Wang Hai pondered for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and decided to take the risk.
"Leave the fifth position to me. You take some men to take out the Japanese artillery position.”
"But don't force it. If the Japanese guards are too strong, retreat immediately.”Wang Hai emphasized.
"Battalion Commander, don't worry, I know what to do.”"I'll go back and make the arrangements then." Zhao Ting saluted.”
"Go ahead."
Zhao Ting quickly returned to the camp and passed down the order for the troops to counterattack in the early morning.
Hearing that Ling Chen was going to fight back against the Japanese, the surviving veterans did not react at all. They were already used to fighting.
The soldiers who had just joined the team were worried, but they were also excited.
They had traveled thousands of miles to the battlefield, carrying the hopes of their fellow countrymen. Naturally, they hoped to fight a good battle with the Japanese.
However, the soldiers of Dian Province who had never fought with the Japanese soldiers did not know that the cruelty of war was far beyond their imagination.
"Our mission is to take out the Japanese artillery.”Zhao Ting summoned the three platoon leaders to his side and announced the specific mission.
"Who are we going with?" Third Platoon Leader Wang asked.
Zhao Ting glanced at Old Wang and replied,""Just our company."
"A company?"
" The defense of the Japanese's artillery position must be very strong. We can't even fill the gap between the teeth of the Japanese." Second Platoon Leader Yang Dashu suddenly frowned.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, the counterattack will attract most of the Japanese forces. As long as we sneak over, it shouldn't be difficult to take out the Japanese artillery.”
Seeing Yang Dashu and Old Wang frowning, Zhao Ting comforted them,""Battalion Commander also said that if there's really no chance, just retreat.”
These three platoon leaders were all personally promoted by Zhao Ting. Although they were worried, they still resolutely carried out the orders.
"Let the brothers carry more grenades and explosives. I'm afraid they'll be useful when the time comes.”
"I'll get some fancy machine gun equipment for the brothers later, but I must emphasize that these fancy machine guns are not from the right place. Don't make it public. If anyone asks, just say that you found them on the battlefield.”Zhao Ting emphasized.
When Zhao Ting and the others were defending this line of defense, the 11th Division had been fighting the Japanese for almost half a month.
Therefore, there were many corpses and weapons left on the battlefield, so Zhao Ting's explanation made sense.
Although they didn't know how Zhao Ting could get the machine gun, the three platoon leaders patted their chests and said that it was absolutely confidential.
They had been worried that it would be risky for them to attack the enemy's artillery position, but now that they had the flower trap, they felt much more confident.
Soon, Zhao Ting told them to inform the soldiers to prepare for battle and mobilize them while he walked to a remote place.
"System?"
Zhao Ting used his mind to call out to the war system.
"I'm here."
"Exchange for 20 MP18 submachine guns and 20000 bullets from the weapons store.”
"Special reminder, exchanging for 20 MP18 submachine guns and 20000 rounds of bullets will cost 11000 war points. Are you sure?”
"Yes!"
Soon, Zhao Ting's points were left with only a little more than 1,000 points on his operation panel.
In front of Zhao Ting, he had already exchanged for a brand new MP18 submachine gun and bullets.
The MP18 submachine gun was a close-combat weapon developed overseas. It was very powerful and had been introduced to China before, so it was available in many troops.
Zhao Ting's points could have been exchanged for a better submachine gun, but there were not many of them, and it was easy to arouse suspicion. Therefore, he chose to exchange for this submachine gun in the end.
The MP18 submachine gun had many cooling holes on the barrel, like a beehive. Therefore, it was affectionately called the " Flower Machine Gun " by the Chinese soldiers.
" System mission triggered: Seize an enemy artillery position. Special reminder, this mission is extremely risky. Host can choose to reject it.”
Just as Zhao Ting was about to go back and call his brothers over to collect the machine gun, the electronic voice of the war system suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Accept the mission!"
Zhao Ting had originally wanted to attack the Japanese's artillery base. Since he could earn mission points, he accepted it without hesitation.
Although the system warned him that there would be risks. After all, he was going deep into the Japanese's nest. However, Zhao Ting also knew that it was better to go to a wolf's den than to get a tiger's cub.
As Zhao Ting accepted the mission, an unfinished mission appeared on his war system's operation panel.
Zhao Ting quickly got his brothers to bring the bullets and machine guns to the company.
"Raise your hand if you know how to use a machine gun.”
Soon, more than ten soldiers stood out from the team. Other than a few veterans, most of them were soldiers from Dian Province.
"Alright, everyone come forward to receive a machine gun and 500 bullets.”
These soldiers put down their original 79 rifles and picked up their fancy machine guns.
When the Japanese soldiers were in battle, they usually carried 200 rounds of ammunition. Now, Zhao Ting and the others had more than two rounds of ammunition, which could ensure the continuity of their firepower.
If they carried more bullets, it would affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, so the rest of the bullets were handed over to other brothers to help carry.
"From now on, you will be under my direct command. Your name will be the Blade Assault Team.”
"Blade Assault Team?"
"Sharp blades, the sharpest blades. You must be like the sharpest blades. Even if the enemy is an iron wall, you must still stab a hole in it.!”
"Yes."
"Didn't you eat? Louder, I didn't hear you!"
"Yes!"
"Alright, quickly familiarize yourself with the weapons in your hands. The rest of you, get ready for battle.”
Zhao Ting and the others only took a short nap. At two o'clock in the morning, the Second Company took over their position and they were able to regroup with the attacking forces.
In the pitch-black trenches, they did not wait for long before a dazzling red light rose from the dark horizon behind them.
"Tong!"
"Whoosh!"
An ear-piercing whistling sound came from the sky. The artillery shells flew over the heads of Zhao Ting and the others and smashed into the front line of the Japanese defense line. For a moment, the earth shook as if it had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake.
Soon, the front line of the Japanese was blown up into pieces. Smoke filled the air, and flames soared into the sky. Half of the sky was illuminated red.
