Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

This is an M134 Gatling gun, weighing 26 kilograms in total. With the bullets fired continuously, the overall weight exceeds 30 kilograms.

Liu Quanhua carried it with only his hands, running and firing at the same time, and the load was equivalent to carrying 60 kilograms on his back.

It was because he was physically strong. If it were someone else, they would be exhausted after running even half the distance, let alone 2 kilometers.

In just a short while, nearly 3 rounds of bullets were fired, and the firing was intermittent, otherwise the barrel would not be able to bear it.

Although the 667th Regiment had a battalion stationed at Meidong Mountain and there were only two fully-staffed battalions and an artillery battalion on the position, the firepower was enough to defeat the 2 Japanese and puppet troops whose heavy firepower had been transferred away, leaving them with no room to fight back.

Because there was no need for precision strikes, the artillery battalion and mortar platoon fired while moving at the speed of the infantry's advance. After all, it only took one minute to purchase an artillery position.

And with the Unimog towing, it has extremely high maneuverability.

"Young Marshal, this Captain Liu must have swallowed a bomb. The Japanese are in trouble for playing with the Gatling gun like that!" Xu Da was also shocked by Liu Quanhua's explosive power.

The Gatling gun can be called a battlefield harvester. Even ordinary armored vehicles cannot stop it. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers died at the hands of Liu Quanhua alone just now, and almost none of their bodies were intact.

Xu Le touched his forehead and asked Xu Da: "Xu Da, do you think Liu Quanhua is suitable to be a senior commander?"

"Young Marshal, if it were another unit, or if the enemy we were facing had similar weapons and equipment to ours, Liu Quanhua would at best be a regiment commander. His ruthlessness would suit him!"

"What exactly do you mean? Tell me in detail!"

“Yes, although Liu Quanhua once served as the chief of staff of a brigade, the 176th Division at that time was always active around the Acropolis, and the people they came into contact with were local warlords with more backward equipment, which did not require any military talent.

The 176th Division now is the same as it was back then, except that the gap between the enemy and us is countless times larger. Under such a firepower gap, the importance of military talent is even less useful. What is needed is the momentum of forging ahead and daring to fight, so that the advantages of the troops can be brought into play.

Liu Quanhua has this kind of momentum and courage, so for our Independent 176th Division, he is fully qualified to be the brigade commander, or even the division commander! "

"Well, what you said makes sense. I have thought so too! I don't play any tricks with the devils in battle. I just use shells and bullets. Whether in terms of weapon performance or ammunition reserves, I completely crush the devils. In this case, what is needed is someone to lead the troops and desperately fire these ammunition. Liu Quanhua is very suitable to be the leader!

By the way, tell me about Jiang Feng and Wang Dafu, and also tell me about Zhen Zhiying from the 665th Regiment!"

This time Xu Da did not answer immediately. He thought for a while and said, "Jiang Feng has profound military knowledge and sufficient combat experience. If he were in the National Guard, he could be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General.

But the reason is the same as what I said just now. Jiang Feng is only suitable for current conventional operations. For our Independent 176th Division, he is not suitable to be a front-line commander. After all, his military thinking is deeply rooted and cannot be changed back in a short period of time.

If he can fully integrate into the current army, coupled with his military knowledge, he can definitely serve as the chief of the general staff!"

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, keep going!"

"The next one is Wang Dafu. He is quite average in every aspect. He has no military background, but he has enough practical experience. He is not reckless, but he is also good at responding to situations. He is somewhere between Jiang Feng and Liu Quanhua, but because of this, no matter which aspect is taken out separately, he does not stand out. So I think he is at most qualified for the position of brigade commander.

As for Zhen Zhiying, her story is even simpler. She climbed up from a soldier to become a regiment commander entirely on her own merits. She is a smaller version of Wang Dafu. If she had not received military and cultural education, her highest position would have been a regiment commander, or at most a chief of staff of a brigade."

"Okay! I was worried that it might be unreasonable for me to do this. After listening to your thoughts, I feel relieved. We think the same way!"

"Young Marshal, are you going to reshuffle the top brass of the army? Yes, we have been in Jin Province for almost three months. Although we haven't experienced many battles, we have fought both large and small ones. The lower-level soldiers have fully adapted to the equipment. It is time to make reasonable adjustments to the top brass so as to fully unleash the combat effectiveness of the army!"

Xu Le stood up, walked out of the temporary command post, and watched the battle situation on the front line through a telescope.

This is a strategic telescope with a fixed bracket and a magnification of 7 times. It was captured from the Japanese and is a regimental-level equipment. It can clearly see fortifications 3 kilometers away.

"Alas, Captain Liu is advancing too fast. We can't even see the troops anymore. Let's go up and take a look!"

After all, the purpose is to fight reinforcements, so even if the troops are pushed forward, there is no need to relocate the headquarters because the troops will have to retreat later.

Looking around, there was no one except the Self-Defense Forces. Xu Le shouted in his heart: "System, take out the BJ212 jeep!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar jeep appeared in front of Xu Le. This was the first time he took it out.

"Looks good!"

Xu Le opened the car door first and sat in the driver's seat. Xu Da followed closely and sat in the passenger seat, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Xu Da, there's no need to do this. There's no way any of the devils would slip through the net!"

"This is a battlefield after all, we must remain vigilant!"

...

Without paying any attention to Xu Da, Xu Le drove to chase the troops at the front. Along the way, he could see scattered soldiers from the 667th Regiment cleaning up the battlefield, and occasionally he could spot a member of the escort team.

It seemed that there was a special bond between him and the guard team. No matter whether the guards were hiding in the crowd or ambushing in some secluded location, Xu Le could easily find them.

As the vehicle drove along, the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were everywhere, and there were even a lot of military supplies abandoned on the road.

This is what is called throwing away one's weapons and armor!

Under the fire suppression of the motorized infantry regiment, it was difficult for the Japanese to escape!

After driving for a while, Xu Le discovered that the performance of the BJ212 jeep was much better than he had imagined, and its off-road capability was no worse than that of the Unimog.

Moreover, the car is much smaller in size, and has much better passability on some narrow mountain roads.

On the road, Xu Le encountered several CQ261s that had stopped moving. These vehicles were logistical reserves and did not need to charge with the troops under normal combat circumstances.

However, the troops were consuming ammunition too quickly, and the Unimog alone might not be enough, so a few CQ261s were dispatched as backup.

This car is too big. Although it has strong off-road capabilities, it really cannot go on some narrow mountain roads because there is no place for the wheels to step...

Xu Le immediately had a new idea.
