Chapter 954, Veterans Are Used To Light The Way For New Recruits
The heavy armored warrior that appeared this time was definitely not as good as the one that appeared for the first time in terms of speed and strength.
This matter also undoubtedly reminded P5092 once again that the enemy he was facing was extremely cunning and cautious in terms of tactics and strategies.
With the incident of the Spark being lured to the north and almost wiping out the entire army still fresh in his mind, P5092 said to a combat staff, “Tell the commander of the second regiment to keep the rest of the man-portable cloudburst bombs in his hands for now, and on my side, let the fourth regiment use the mortars to first slow down the expeditionary regiment’s attack.”
The combat staff led the order and went away, Wang Yun said, “But although these heavy armor warriors are not as good as the previous one, but at least they are also considered relatively powerful characters in the barbarians, between the masters and the ordinary barbarian warriors, to say that this Expeditionary Corps is also ruthless enough, really take human lives to test our means of attack ah.”
“Soldiers come and go, water comes and goes, it’s not like we’ve dealt with them once or twice, I’m not really worried about that,” P5092 said.
“Then what are you worried about?” Wang Yun was curious.
“I’m worried about our trusted weapons, something will go wrong,” P5092 said.
Wang Yun froze, “Are you saying that there is something wrong with the weapons Wang sent?”
“No,” said P5092, “You’ve checked the weapons they sent, they’re fine, I’m talking about the lifespan of the heavy machine guns, and the ammunition.”
People have lifespans, and firearms certainly do, and there have been attempts to see what happens to firearms by firing them all the time with automatic rifles.
The result was that the barrels of the automatic rifles slowly turned red, followed by the barrels all breaking.
This was probably the case right now, as the Expeditionary Corps attack was so intense that it was too late for the guns to cool down in many of the 6th Combat Brigade’s positions.
The limited water from the mountain springs could not be used to cool the barrels, so the soldiers had to use urine.
However, there was a time when urine ran out.
Moreover, it was not just a question of whether the barrels could withstand the high intensity of the battle, but in case something else suddenly went wrong with one of the heavy machine guns, this accident could lead to a breakthrough in one of the positions.
War was a place full of accidents, just as people would get sick and precision machines would malfunction.
Moreover, the ammunition that the 6th Combat Brigade was carrying might not last long, there were just too many enemies.
At this time, on the Guangfu Road of the second position, a veteran was aiming his heavy machine gun at the barbarians and rhythmically strafing them, as the machine gun spewed out its tongue of fire, an orange-colored shell casing kept popping out of the chamber.
The shells crashed onto the ground one by one, and because there were too many shells piled up on the ground, the shells would make a crisp sound when they collided.
“Bullet chain!” The veteran saw that the cartridge case beside the heavy machine gun was about to be empty, so he immediately called for his assistant to come over and replace it.
However, just then the new recruit came over with the cartridge box with the chain of bullets in hand, only to see that the new recruit opened the cover on the upper side of the machine gun and pressed the first round of the chain of bullets into it.
This all went well, but when he tried to close the cover of the gun, he found that it would not close!
The veteran yelled, “What’s going on, the barbarians are about to rush to the front of the position!”
The recruit was on the verge of tears, “I don’t know why the cover won’t close!”
The veteran fixed his eyes on it, it wasn’t that the recruit was too stupid, but that the front part of the bullet chain was irregular, which caused the cover to not close, and it had to be re-treated before it would work.
The bullet chain was invented to provide more ammunition for high rate of fire heavy machine guns, and was more practical than magazines and drums.
But the bullet chain had its own flaw, which was that it could not be loaded nearly as fast as the magazine and drum.
Of course, this was also caused by their carelessness, soldiers going into battle should have checked all of this well and not allowed any mistakes.
The veteran didn’t say anything more, he drew out the dagger on his waist and started to deal with the bullet chain, but it was too late, the expeditionary regiment in front of him was already only a few dozen meters away from the position.
Those barbarians immediately rushed up when they heard the gunfire stop, almost running wildly at full speed.
The veteran roared, “Covering fire, throw grenades! Grenades!”
The soldiers next to them used automatic rifles to suppress the fire, but the power of automatic rifles was just too far from heavy machine guns.
Some soldiers threw grenades, but when the grenades were thrown out, the barbarians saw that they were not far from the position, and even directly discarded their tattered shields, avoiding the trajectory of the grenades with their strong physical qualities.
The grenade is useful, many barbarians even by the aftershock and broken pieces of hit also instantly lost the ability to fight.
Moreover, this defense line was equipped with four handheld grenade launchers, which also blew up dozens of barbarians at a time!
However, these firepower suppression was still not enough when facing the humongous, locust-like barbarians.
It is not that the killing power is not strong enough, but these barbarians do not flinch, if someone dies, the people behind will follow, the barbarians have long been prepared to use human life to fill this meat grinder!
But as long as the sporadic barbarians rushed up, then there will be a steady stream of barbarians behind them to open a gap from here.
At this time, the veteran has already dealt with the bullet chain, but it is already too late, he can even clearly see the barbarian’s facial features, ears are as if floating in the other side of the heavy gasping, and hideous evil roar.
Finished.
The veteran’s face was ashen, as he pulled the soldier beside him over, “You’re a machine gunner now!”
After saying that, he pulled out a yellow paper wrapped explosive from underneath the bunker, and looked about to jump out of position.
Now, grenades alone were not enough.
The recruit pulled his arm, “Squad Leader, where are you going? It s all my fault, I didn t check …… in advance.”
The veteran gave him a slap, “Don’t fucking delay me, learn, you’re a veteran too!”
The recruit suddenly realized that this squad leader of his was going to use his life to block the way of the barbarians, so that he could reopen a new shooting space for the machine guns in the position.
Explosives can not be thrown, this kind of explosives in their hands have a delay of seven seconds, if the brute caught and then thrown back, it will be all over.
The new recruit suddenly remembered the other day when he was chatting with the squad leader, he asked the squad leader: “What’s the difference between a veteran and a new recruit anyway? Apart from whether they’ve been to war or not, and whether they’ve killed anyone or not.”
As a result, the veteran’s answer made him cloudy at that time, the squad leader said: “178 Fortress that copper bell buried under the martyrs of the big groove teeth, that are the war dead predecessors, the copper bell is engraved with the words you still remember, people this life should be like a candle, from the beginning to the end of the burning, always bright. We veterans are this candle, responsible for giving you milquetoast new recruits, lighting up the road ahead and the road home.”
It wasn’t until this moment that the recruits realized exactly what that statement meant.
The veteran braced himself with one hand on the bunker, and was about to roll out of the bunker to go.
But between the flashes of lightning and fire, the veteran suddenly saw a sudden burst of blood mist on the two brutes that were five or six meters away from him!
Snipers! Two snipers!
