Chapter 248 Cleaning up the battlefield

After rescuing Yao Ma and Li Liansheng, the two groups joined forces, and the number of people under Lu Cheng's command exceeded one hundred, reaching the standard of a company.

"Why are you guys driven here?"

"Report to the battalion commander, the plane we were on landed smoothly at the airport. Then, we received weapons and equipment, and were assigned to a patrol team by the British. Together with some other brother troops, we patrolled near the airport.

Later, a large group of Japanese troops surrounded the British airport and sent out small groups of Japanese troops to clear out the surrounding patrols. Our team was also blocked outside by the Japanese and driven into this valley.

Afterwards, the Japanese divided into two teams and set up two machine gun positions here to block us here, while the other Japanese attacked the airport..."

After understanding the situation, Lu Cheng nodded, and then counted the number of people. In the platoon of Yao Ma and Li Liansheng, one person was killed, two were slightly injured, and more than twenty other soldiers were killed.

In comparison, the soldiers under Lu Cheng performed quite well, at least they were able to survive.

Lu Cheng took out some first aid kits he had obtained earlier and asked veterinarian Hao to give the two lightly injured people simple treatment.

Over the past six months, Veterinarian Hao's medical skills have improved significantly, and with the addition of medicines, he can now treat some minor injuries.

Lu Cheng also left him the opportunity to practice his medical skills. He couldn't always be the military doctor as the battalion commander.

After cleaning up the battlefield, it was already completely dark.

Everyone was a little tired after taking the plane from morning to landing and having fought many battles.

Lu Cheng asked a few people to scout the area nearby and confirmed that it was temporarily safe here. He then built a simple defensive fortification based on the two heavy machine gun positions of the Japanese and decided to rest here tonight.

Of course, sentries and other things also need to be arranged.

After arranging everything, Lu Cheng called Milong and several machine gunners over and said, "You guys are just wasting bullets! Milong, especially you, you only killed one Japanese soldier with one volley of bullets. Do you know what burst shooting means? Come, I will teach you!"

Lu Cheng explained the shooting techniques of the light machine gun to all the machine gunners and asked them to memorize them, but did not let them practice shooting in the dark.

In fact, Lu Cheng had taught these things in previous training, but these guys forgot them when they got nervous. Milong had missed training before, so he had to make up for it now.

When Lu Cheng was training, Long Wenjian was watching from the side and kept nodding: "You are quite capable as a battalion commander."

Lu Cheng ignored Long Wenjian. After teaching the machine gunner a lesson, he walked over to the soldiers with Sten submachine guns and taught them how to use them again...

At the same time, Lu Cheng also held a small meeting for the soldiers to summarize the shortcomings of this small-scale battle.

After the explanation, everyone took a rest.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Lu Cheng woke up the soldiers who were resting and approached the airport.

Just as they walked a short distance, Lu Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his right arm and clenched his fist. Everyone had learned this gesture last night and stopped immediately.

Milong, Kang Huojian, Bula, Yaoma and others came over immediately. Lu Cheng then began to give orders: "One hundred meters ahead, there are two Japanese machine gun positions, each with no more than ten enemies. One team will go left. The other team will go right..."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, a group of people sneaked up, and when they were about 50 meters close to the enemy, Lu Cheng waved his hand, and six light machine guns and ten submachine guns opened fire at the same time. The dense bullets immediately overwhelmed the Japanese in the two machine gun positions.

Thanks to Lu Cheng's finishing blow, no one on their side was injured.

The Japanese had been fighting too smoothly recently and were busy pursuing the enemy. Their forces in the rear were scattered, so they defended themselves through machine gun positions, which gave Lu Cheng an opportunity to take advantage of.

It is difficult to have a wide field of vision in a machine gun position in the jungle. In addition, Lu Cheng has a thermal sensing radar, so he can always detect the enemy's position in advance and launch a sneak attack from behind, which makes him always successful.

After this small-scale battle, Lu Cheng now had four Type 92 heavy machine guns under his command.

At this time, the British in the airport were still holding their ground, and it was difficult for the Japanese to capture the airport for a while. Instead of rushing into the airport and being surrounded by the Japanese along with the British, it would be better to fight in the surrounding areas first, clear out the small groups of Japanese around, and by the way, gather the Chinese patrols scattered around.

When they set out, Yu Xiaoqing said that as long as Lu Cheng and his men arrived here, they would have a battalion of troops plus various weapons and equipment.

As for weapons and equipment, it depended on whether the British were willing to provide them, but they still had the strength of a battalion, basically all of them were defeated soldiers transported from various places in western Yunnan, and they arrived earlier than Lu Cheng and others. They were organized into patrol teams by the British and helped them resist the Japanese attacks on the periphery.

But the British didn't expect that the Japanese would advance quickly, drive away the outer patrol teams, and surround the airport.

After surrounding the airport, the Japanese divided their forces again because they were unable to capture it for a while. One part continued to pursue forward, while the other part blocked the road near the airport, trapping the British here and waiting for the arrival of subsequent Japanese troops.

In the following battles, Lu Cheng made full use of the advantages of the thermal sensing radar and constantly commanded his soldiers to launch sneak attacks on small groups of Japanese devils, encircle and annihilate them, and rescue batches of remaining patrols.

By the evening, Lu Cheng's soldiers had wiped out five waves of Japanese troops, including machine gun positions and patrol teams, totaling more than one hundred people, and seized some guns, ammunition and food.

During this period, many trapped and hunted Chinese patrol teams were rescued, and the number of people under Lu Cheng's command has increased to more than 200, enough for two companies.

Moreover, these two companies had eight heavy machine guns, twenty-five light machine guns, more than forty submachine guns, more than three hundred rifles, 12 Japanese grenade launchers, and two mortars. There were more weapons than people. Each soldier carried several rifles and was almost full of ammunition.

This does not include the inventory in Lu Cheng’s storage space.

To be honest, these soldiers had never fought such a rich war.

Lu Cheng temporarily organized the two hundred people into two companies, one led by Meng Fanle and the other led by himself.

The continuous victories, coupled with the fact that no casualties were suffered by their own personnel, made the soldiers admire their leader Lu Cheng to the extreme, and even worship him.

The two American pilots became Lu Cheng's loyal fans.

Even Long Wenjian had to admire Lu Cheng's ability and began to think about whether he should change out of his military uniform and follow Lu Cheng. Maybe he could become a company commander now.

Especially after everyone saw Lu Cheng's fighting style, they were even more astonished.

With a British Type 77 rifle, in less than ten seconds, ten bullets were used to kill ten Japanese soldiers, and every shot hit the head.

He fought alone and needed two people to carry his gun and change bullets for him.

After one gun was empty, Abao beside him replaced it with a new gun loaded with bullets. He fired continuously, bringing the firing rate of Yingqiqi to its extreme.
