"When the Japanese rush up, throw the grenades first, then go up and fight them hand-to-hand. But remember, when the Japanese get close, shoot out the bullets in the gun first, then go up and fight with the bayonet.”
"Why?" Chen Zhenglun asked in confusion.
"The Japanese have the habit of retreating bullets before they fight, so they will definitely retreat when they get close to our position. We don't have as many people as the Japanese, and our fighting skills are not as good as the Japanese. We will definitely be at a disadvantage in close combat. When the Japanese retreat their bullets, we will kill more of them. That way, we won't be at a disadvantage.”Qin Yan explained.
Qin Yan knew that the Japanese used the 38th Cover. The bullet had a high initial velocity, a long range, and strong penetration. If they did not retract the bullet during melee combat, they would accidentally injure their allies. The most important thing was to hit the enemy at close range. The bullet would pass through the enemy and hit the people behind. Therefore, the stab would retract the bullet.
"Battalion Commander Chen, if you trust me, do as I say.”Qin Yan knew that time was tight and he didn't have time to explain.
"Alright." Chen Zhenglun nodded and immediately ordered,""Everyone, stop shooting."
Hearing the order, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion stopped firing.
"Also, let me announce an order. Qin Yan is now the temporary deputy battalion commander of the 19th regiment, 1st regiment, 1st battalion, 60th division of the 19th route army.”Chen Zhenglun said loudly.
"Yes." All the soldiers who could still speak roared.
Although they didn't know that the battalion commander would give such an order, Qin Yan's strength had already conquered them.
"Battalion Commander Chen, how can this be?" Qin Yan hurriedly said.
"Qin Yan, don't worry. This is only temporary. After this battle, as long as you don't die, you can leave.”Chen Zhenglun said.
"Hurry up and give the order! Otherwise, the Japanese would come up very quickly.”
Seeing that Chen Zhenglun was determined, Qin Yan knew that time was of the essence, so he immediately agreed. Then, he said,""Alright, brothers, listen up. Our blood cannot be shed in vain.”
"We can't let these brothers die in vain. As long as we're alive, we must avenge them. Right now, our line of defense is Hu City. With our parents, brothers, and sisters, we can't bring shame to the 19th route army.”
"Even if we die today, we won't retreat even half a step.”
Soon, five boxes of grenades were carried up.
"Battalion Commander Chen, hand out the grenades.”
Chen Zhenglun immediately ordered the first company commander to distribute all the grenades. Other than the heavily injured, each person could get three grenades. There were more than ten people who could get one extra grenade.
"All soldiers, check the bullets. Those with rifles, each take three bullets. Bring the rest to me. Bring the rest of the submachine guns and handguns.”
Soon, the bullets were sent over. There were a total of 82 rounds for the rifle, 86 rounds for the submachine gun, and 38 rounds for the Mauser pistol.
All the bullets from the submachine gun were stored in the magazines. There were three magazines in total. As for the 38 bullets, they were all stored in the two Mauser pistols.
"Battalion Commander Chen, get your men to load the rest of the rifle bullets into the magazines of the light machine guns. You can use one of them, and the other two will be used by the platoon leader.”
As Qin Yan spoke, he placed the two Mauser pistols on his waist and picked up a flower mechanism.
Qin Yan looked at the wounded soldier at the side after giving his instructions. The wounded soldier squatted down and looked at him. His face turned pale and he leaned against the sandbag. His lips were a little dry.
Chen Zhenglun walked over and asked softly,""How is it? Does it still hurt?"
"Battalion Commander, it doesn't hurt at all." The wounded soldier grinned. He had been shot in the abdomen, so he could only use his hand to reduce the pain.
"Battalion Commander, I've already killed more than ten Japanese. I know that we can't hold on any longer. I have one last request.”
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will promise you.”Chen Zhenglun said in a deep voice.
"Battalion Commander, give me a grenade! "Let me shed my last drop of blood for the country. When the Japanese come up, I'll detonate the grenade and die with them. Let me drag a few more people down with me before I die. Only then will my death be worth it.”When the soldier said this, his tone was very calm. It was as if he was not talking about his life or death, but was talking about his daily life.
Qin Yan, who was at the side, heard this and it exploded in his ears like thunder.
He looked at the little soldier in front of him. He didn't seem to be older than him. He looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. In his previous life, when he was his age, he was still in high school.
At this age, this was the most beautiful moment in his life.
However, in this era, they were already on the battlefield and fighting against the ferocious Japanese. Qin Yan could not help but feel a little heartache.
Even Chen Zhenglun didn't know how to answer the little warrior.
"Battalion Commander, just promise me!" Seeing that Chen Zhenglun had remained silent, the young soldier panicked and quickly said,""Battalion Commander, I beg you. I can see that we have no more ammunition. We can't hold our position anymore. I don't want to die under the Japanese's bayonet.”
Qin Yan opened his mouth and finally said,""Battalion Commander Chen, agree to his request! He was a soldier, and the duty of a soldier was to protect the country. Since he had chosen to do this, it was his duty to sacrifice his life for the country.”
"Moreover, if we can't stop the Japanese, they will die tragically under their bayonet. Give them grenades so that their deaths will be worth it.”
"Camp Leader, I beg you, you don't want us to die for nothing, right?”The soldier pleaded again.
Chen Zhenglun took out a grenade and handed it to him. The injured people around him also said,""Battalion Commander, give me one too!"
"And me."
Chen Zhenglun gritted his teeth as he watched the wounded soldiers around him speak."Give each of the wounded a grenade.”
Qin Yan picked up a grenade and walked to Zhou Wen's side. He handed it to him and smiled."You don't know how to use it, right?"
Zhou Wen shook his head. How could a student like him use such a thing?
Qin Yan helped Zhou Wen open the grenade's lid before ignoring the two of them. However, according to Snow Leopard's plot, wasn't the reinforcement about to arrive?
