While Pan Rengui ordered to stop shooting, he also gave two other orders: "Get the grenades ready, and then load all the guns with bullets."
In fact, when he saw that the troops were completely suppressed by the Japanese artillery and precise shooting and caused a large number of casualties to his own side, he knew that he had made a mistake before.
Because no one had expected that the Japanese army would attack with all their strength in the first attack, and there was no probing attack at all, but they still followed the pre-war deployment and defended step by step, resulting in the army's equipment advantage of having more automatic firepower not being fully utilized.
, on the contrary, the Japanese army had a numerical advantage, and their advantages of sharp artillery and accurate shooting were brought into play.
This is the reason why the defenders on the current position have been suppressed, but not enough damage has been done to the Japanese troops.
When does automatic fire have its greatest advantage?
Of course Pan Rengui knew that the closer the distance between the enemy and ourselves, the greater the lethality of automatic fire. Moreover, the close contact between the Japanese army and the defenders caused the Japanese artillery to dare not shell at will, thus negating the enemy's artillery advantage.
If he had decisively brought the Japanese troops closer to 50 meters or even closer before firing when the first batch of Japanese troops attacked, he might have forced the hundreds of Japanese troops to lose their footing and have to bite the bullet and launch the final charge.
When the two sides are fighting together, the large number of light machine guns and submachine guns equipped by their 1st company can cause a lot of damage to the Japanese army in a short period of time.
They had practiced this many times in previous trainings, and it was also one of the tactics specially formulated by Zhou Wen for the model brigade.
You must know that the model brigade is different from the second detachment of the mercenary regiment. In terms of equipment, training and battlefield experience, the individual quality and tactical ability of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the second detachment who have experienced the Songhu battlefield have far exceeded any other
A domestic army is even worse than the most elite divisions of the Japanese army.
Therefore, it is inevitably impossible for the Model Brigade to copy the mercenary regiment's tactics of distance being king and precision and intensive firepower striking being the main focus.
However, this tactic also has a fatal flaw. Once the enemy is brought close, while it can kill a large number of enemies, its own casualties will not be small. This requires front-line commanders to be able to take five steps with blood and kill both the enemy and the enemy.
Courage and determination.
However, Pan Rengui did not inflict a fatal blow to the first batch of Japanese troops at the first time, but fell into a stalemate, which exposed the shortcomings of the small number of defenders.
And now the second batch of larger Japanese troops has also come up. Now even the 1st company's desire to retreat has become a luxury, and they can only fight with the little Japanese.
At this time, his mind became clearer, so he issued the above order.
At this time, there were nearly 100 combatants in the 1st company plus the machine gun platoon. They saw that the entire mountainside was covered with dense Japanese soldiers, and they all knew that it was impossible to retreat and escape now. The only way left was to fight hard.
If you fight for one, you can make money, if you fight for two, you will make a profit.
"I knew I was going to die this time, so damn sure, it wouldn't be unfair if I could hold a few little devils on my back before I died." Wang Xiaolin cursed and put all the grenades on his body within arm's reach.
, and placed several machine gun magazines filled by Jia Laoer beside him, then pulled out the Jin-made box cannon that Jia Laoer was carrying and handed it to his hand.
"Jia Laoer, you have to listen carefully to every word I say next. Squat down and don't show your head. Just stare at the top of the trench. If you see the little Japanese showing his head, shoot again. If you hit it accurately, it's best to shoot.
One, whether we brothers can survive today depends on your stupid marksmanship."
Seeing Jia Laoer, who looked nervous, nodding his head repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, Wang Xiaolin turned to the other soldiers in the class and ordered: "Follow us, two people in a group, one person can hear
The order is to throw grenades outside, and one person just stares at the top of the trench. Don't shoot unless you see the enemy. The two people take turns to shoot."
In fact, Wang Xiaolin's tactic has been trained by the Model Brigade before, and it is called alternate shooting. But I have to say that Wang Xiaolin's mind is still clear, otherwise in this emergency situation where the enemy is about to rush up soon, I really don't know how many more people will be able to survive.
People remember this tactic.
"50 meters away."
The observers who risked their lives still reported the distance of the Japanese troops.
"40 meters."
"30...ah!" The position of the observer's hand was still discovered by the Japanese sharpshooter, and he was hit in the head by a bullet.
"Grenade!" This was Pan Rengui's voice.
At this time, Captain Nojiri, who saw in the telescope that the Japanese army was about to rush to the defending position, glanced at Shu Kawatani with some disdain and said: "Kawatani-kun, the offensive operation still depends on the warriors of our 6th Division.
,hey-hey……"
What he meant was, of course, that the soldiers of your 7th Division are not good enough. Look, as soon as the soldiers of my second group came up, the counterattack of the Chinese defenders immediately weakened. Now I am afraid that they are all hiding in the trenches.
Are your hands shaking?
Shuu Kawatani did not argue with this arrogant person. Of course it would be better if he could capture the position, but there was always a shadow lingering in his heart. I am afraid that these Chinese troops will not be captured without mercy, thinking of the ferocious force on the position just now
Automatic firepower, he would not take it for granted that all these firepower were destroyed by his own artillery.
The Chinese defenders must have some backup plans.
Sure enough, in his sight, he saw the small black dots flying outward like raindrops on the enemy's position.
"Grenade!"
Taro Nojiri's expression also changed. There were probably more than a hundred grenades so densely packed, and they were flying out continuously.
However, Kawatani Hide's heart was bleeding. The soldiers at the forefront of the Japanese charge formation were all soldiers of his 1st Battalion. This was Baga's rhythm that wanted his 1st Battalion to cancel its organization.
Just when the two Japanese officers were in different moods, Wang Xiaolin had already thrown four grenades in succession.
You must know that during the warlord melee of the Republic of China and the later all-out war of resistance, the Jin-made grenades manufactured by Taiyuan Arsenal were a weapon that was rarely available in China and had quality assurance.
The prototype of the Jin-made hand grenade is the M24 long-handled grenade developed by Germany in 1924. The M24 hand grenade was the standard hand grenade used by the German army until World War II. It is light, flexible and powerful, and is called an offensive grenade.
The Jin-made grenade is an improvement on the M24 grenade. The wooden handle of the grenade is shortened according to the Chinese body and hand shape, making it easier to throw.
However, the power has not been reduced much. Compared with the little devil's Type 91 grenade, its power and practicality are not the slightest bit better.
The 91 hand grenade currently equipped by the Japanese army uses an impact fuse in order to be compatible with the grenade.
