In fact, the Japanese infantrymen lying in the grass were not only in pain because they were beaten by a burst of gunfire, but they were also confused about something.
The Chinese did not use machine gun firepower at all and relied purely on infantry shooting!
The key is that this hillside is spacious enough, with a width of more than 600 meters. The two infantry squads rushing at the front have a hundred people. The distance between the individual soldiers is wide enough, and there are smoke bombs to block the sight. Just the rifles, but
You can't hit it so accurately.
Those who can serve as forwards are basically veterans, and they can recognize the difference between a machine gun and a rifle.
This means that they paid more than a dozen casualties, but none of the Chinese firepower was exposed! The only gain may be an exchange with the Chinese, but this is obviously not the original intention of the Japanese army.
This is the wisdom of Chinese soldiers.
Comrade Lao Kong can be regarded as the main battalion commander of the 769 regiment, not just because of his 11 years of military experience. Perhaps Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who is also known as the future Shanxi North Iron Triangle, said to him: Lao Kong
This person may appear to be honest, but in fact he is full of bad qualities!
Of course, this "bad" is only for the Japanese! Comrade Lao Kong, who will retire as a full-time official in the military region in the future, has still stood firm after all the storms, and he has truly lived a long life!
If you don’t have enough equipment, you have to make do with scraps! Behind Comrade Lao Kong’s appearance, as simple as an old farmer, there is an exquisite heart with seven orifices.
Perhaps it had been expected that the Japanese army would use its fierce firepower advantage to cover the infantry advance, and it would be difficult for our own infantry to raise their heads.
So, he took advantage of the dozen or so canned meats he had on hand that he had been reluctant to eat since the Japanese army!
The canned beef that was basically only used to supplement nutrition for the wounded was ordered to be emptied, leaving only the empty cans and bottles tied with thin hemp ropes and thrown into the bushes! There were two groups, eight groups in total, and the hemp ropes connected in the middle were long.
Up to 30 meters!
The distances between these empty iron cans and the front-line positions are 100 meters and 50 meters respectively.
As long as the Japanese troops passed through the two areas, they would definitely kick the hemp rope hidden in the bushes, and then pull the iron cans tied to it.
If the sound is slight, it is naturally the farthest 100 meters away. If it is clear enough, it is naturally 50 meters away! To put it bluntly, the sound of the collision of iron cans can be used to determine that the Japanese army has arrived in that area.
Although the method is a bit crude, it is very practical. The Japanese army, which has already begun to charge, will check one place after another, and will not pay much attention to the harsh noise made by kicking empty cans.
In this way, the platoon leaders on the front line can directly order their infantry to shoot at a certain area that has been determined. There is no need for any aiming, just gather all the rifles and shoot at the general area. What is needed is a probability.
However, this probability is much greater than that of 200 rifles facing a battlefield that is 600 meters wide and more than hundreds of meters deep. Only a dozen of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers fell, and that was all because of the appearance of their great god Amaterasu.
result.
The result of this is naturally the last thing the Japanese army wants to see. Unless you gather more infantry to charge, so much that my rifle can no longer hold it down, otherwise, don't think that my light and heavy firepower points will be exposed so easily!
Regardless of whether the Japanese soldiers were lying down or not, basically all the Chinese soldiers who participated in the shooting fired three rounds of bullets in a row, then immediately retreated behind the bunker, reloaded the bullets, and kept their heads down to avoid the crazy firing of the Japanese heavy machine guns.
Hiding, as long as the tin cans in the 50-meter area are not kicked, then there is no need to fight forcefully.
This wave alone consumed one-tenth of the bullets carried by a battalion of officers and soldiers, so they must be used sparingly.
An individual soldier receives 30 rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to the treatment of a main battalion. The other two infantry battalions only receive an average of 25 rounds of ammunition for each infantryman!
On the other hand, the Japanese infantrymen who were temporarily stunned and fell down were not weaklings. In the past half year on the Chinese battlefield, they had seen big scenes. They threw three infantry brigades into charge and were swept away by machine guns.
If you have seen it before, why would you be afraid of this?
Although he suffered some setbacks, under the urging of Captain Cao and the squad leader, he calmed down and after his own heavy machine guns suppressed the Chinese infantry back into the trenches, they got up from the ground again and rushed forward.
The state of the Japanese army at that time was nothing more than: He's here, he's here, he's taking firm steps with iron-clad leather boots, he's breathing heavily, his eyes are wide open, and he's rushing over.
We are about to reach the 30-meter area where grenades can be thrown.
"Tanglang!" The harsh sound of the tin cans at the front of the position being kicked made the hairs of the Japanese infantry stand up!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The familiar volley of gunshots also sounded very appropriate, interspersed with the crisp and continuous sound of "ta da da da".
That was the sound of Czech light machine gun fire that was very familiar to the Japanese.
There were more than six light machine guns firing from several directions six to seventy meters in front of the frontal position.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of bullets were fired at them like raindrops. This time, the Japanese forwards were stunned. Although the Japanese army was very careful and made the formation more sparse, more than 20 Japanese soldiers fell down wailing.
Down.
The Japanese army's purpose of testing the firepower point has actually been achieved. At least 6 light machine guns were firing desperately, and the lives of more than 20 Japanese soldiers were not in vain.
However, before the Japanese grenadier soldiers could look for and determine the direction of the light machine gun fire points with their big eyes, these fire points changed again. They changed places and fired a long burst of fire, and then changed again.
This is also the experience summed up by the soldiers of the 921st Division in the past six months of fighting with the Japanese army. In order to avoid being targeted by the Japanese grenade launchers, a light machine gun firepower point usually has more than three combat positions, and it can fire more than ten rounds of bullets or fire.
Change positions when the magazine is empty and never stay in one place for too long.
The Czech-style light machine gun, which weighs less than 10 kilograms, is naturally far inferior to the heavy machine gun in terms of firepower, but its mobility is nowhere near superior.
On the other hand, heavy machine guns, even though they are still hundreds of meters away from the front line, are the branch with the highest casualty rate, because their opponents are either the Japanese heavy machine guns or the 92 infantry guns. The total weight of the gun body and tripod is 50 kilograms.
A heavy machine gun requires at least three people to carry it, so it can easily escape.
Smoke bombs are actually a double-edged sword. Although they cover the charging Japanese infantry, they also make it difficult for the Japanese troops behind to see the Chinese soldiers on the position. The reason why heavy machine guns are so rewarding is really the firepower of heavy machine guns.
It's so fierce. Four heavy machine guns can fire nearly 2,000 rounds of bullets in one minute, so it can hit several targets.
The so-called fire suppression is just a matter of probability!
However, due to the existence of the double-edged sword of smoke bombs, many Japanese troops are still at a loss. For example, the Japanese grenadier soldiers who shoulder the heavy responsibility are a little confused and cannot find the target of firepower, but they want to provide support to their colleagues.
How to fix it?
You can't just watch it, as you will be served by the big mouths of the squadron commanders and captain-level bosses who are watching the battle from behind. The only way...
A few blind beats!
No matter what the effect is, I am fighting hard!
Trying hard but getting no results and not working hard and being flat and useless are two things that can never be ranked in the same rank!
Perhaps not only they thought so, but the Japanese light machine gun shooters who followed behind probably also thought so.
As a result, the Chinese and Japanese sides fired wildly at each other amidst the white smoke of smoke grenades as a wave of dozens of Japanese infantry arrived at a position fifty or sixty meters in front of the Chinese frontline position.
However, the Chinese side still had some objectives, and they fought very economically, while the Japanese army's purpose was not that strong. After all, the frontal defense line of the first battalion plus the one on the distant mountain ridge was one kilometer long, and they fought very unrestrainedly.
, there is absolutely no intention of saving ammunition.
I don’t know how the Japanese infantry, who were lying in the bushes and mountains after being hit by bullets from both sides, felt at this time.
It's about: Baga! Do I have to climb all the way over?
As long as you can avoid death, you can crawl! Looking at the Chinese position that seemed to be close to Chichi, the Japanese infantry who could feel the whizzing above their heads in the hail of bullets quickly adapted to this aggrieved mentality.
The Japanese Army infantry are really adaptable and brave. Even when faced with such an unfavorable situation, they still chose to crawl forward.
Even the main reason for this is because the Japanese army has strict military discipline. Anyone who retreats without authorization before the commander gives the order to retreat will die!
But you really can't deny that the Japanese Army in this era is really a powerful and terrifying army.
However, opposite this terrible army, there is also an army full of legendary experiences. Their characteristics are equally jaw-dropping. What restricts them from fighting the enemy to the death is not the same strict military law, but a kind of so-called military law.
It is the spiritual power of faith.
Many people like to call it "painting a pie" or "brainwashing". In fact, that is because they have not experienced the darkest era in China, how workers and peasants at the bottom of society were exploited, and those so-called
In fact, most of the "big pie" people belong to the social elite. They could live a comfortable enough life without having to worry about food and drink!
The Chinese people have always had the theory that "if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world!" Therefore, under the leadership of such a group of people, more and more poor people have become one of them, working towards the same goal.
Fight hard, sacrifice yourself, and create miracles in the end!
Looking back a hundred years later, most people may think it is easy to make such a choice, but in the dark night, where does one know the way?
Undoubtedly, those who make firm choices in such an environment are brave!
Just like what Tang Dao said, if the troops are the same, the equipment level is similar, and the battle-hardened Four Lines Regiment faces them, at best it will be a 50-50 outcome.
But Comrade Lao Kong and his subordinates are really not very well equipped! If they encounter the infantry battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment, they will most likely be beaten, just like they encountered the Japanese army like Hiroshi Omura. If nothing happens, they will definitely
lose.
However, if you want to win against them, the cost is not that high.
Just like now, the Japanese army has consumed more than half of the infantry squad in just one charge. At this rate of consumption, at most five attacks, the casualty rate of Komura Hiroshi's command will exceed 25%.
, put it in the Western army, it is a morale-destroying casualty rate!
Two armies are colliding on the battlefield. One has strict military discipline and a head as strong as steel, while the other has a firm will and full of courage. They are destined to produce dazzling sparks!
However, this spark came so unexpectedly that the Japanese were somewhat caught off guard!
"Boom! Boom!" Several plumes of thick smoke rose from the front of the battlefield, and along with it, two Japanese soldiers were thrown high into the air.
However, there was no scream this time.
Because no one can still have the right to shout when they take the initiative to land on an infantry mine and detonate it.
"Baga! There are landmines!" Japanese Army Commander Cao couldn't help shouting loudly, his voice full of fear!
No one thought that this seemingly poorly equipped Chinese army would actually have this thing.
Speaking of which, this was a helpless move. There were not enough bullets and mines were needed. This was the experience gained by the 921st Division after having fought several battles with the Japanese and was forced to defend itself.
Compared with bullets, which require a large amount of copper, processing machinery and skilled workers, the manufacture of landmines is actually simpler. With enough explosives, containers and pressure detonation devices, a landmine can be manufactured.
In the future, the famous "mine warfare", the local military and civilians will use various tricks to avoid being detected by mine detectors, such as stone mines, clay pot mines, wood mines... there are all kinds of mines, anyway.
As long as you can't think of it, there is nothing that smart Chinese people can't do.
Of course, at this period, the 921st Division belonged to the regular army, and the landmines they produced were very "serious". However, because of the small amount of explosives, an infantry mine could basically blow off a person's legs.
If a group of people were to die, it would be an anti-tank mine. Not to mention that it couldn't be made, even if it could be made, it would be reluctant to do it.
The two Japanese soldiers who were killed by the bombing were just unlucky. They directly put their chests against them and were bombed. They had to die, right?
The damage was far less than the previous heavy fire from rifles and machine guns, but the two accidentally exploded landmines stopped the brave Japanese infantrymen who were crawling forward with bullets whizzing above their heads.
This is really a dilemma!
It is impossible to retreat, but if we advance, how to deal with the mines?
It's one thing to not be afraid of death, but it's another thing to actually die!
"Baga! Damn it!" Hiroya Komura, who saw the changes in the battlefield in the distance through the telescope, had fire in his eyes.
In the past, when they had mountain artillery and infantry artillery, it was not a terrible thing for the Chinese to lay landmines in front of their positions. They covered it with artillery fire first, and the mines were not allowed to be detonated? But not now! There are only 2 infantry artillery pieces in total, and that's him
Komura Hiro did not hesitate to carry the hundred rounds of artillery shells. The firepower intensity of these two cannons alone was not enough to cover the entire front line of the position!
However, the Japanese army did not have to struggle for too long.
"Activate those two big ones for me! Let them have a good taste!" Comrade Lao Kong, who was on the second-line battlefield, ordered through gritted teeth.
Comrade Lao Kong, who has a simple and popular face, has no worse brains than Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang. He knows that he cannot compete with the Japanese army for ammunition consumption, and he leads a battalion to fight against the Japanese here, which does not mean that he must
He had to fight to the last soldier, and as long as he waited until the 772nd Regiment arrived, he would have successfully completed the mission.
To put it bluntly, just delay for enough time!
Little did the Japanese know that it wouldn't take long before nearly ten thousand troops would surround them in this mountainous area.
Two large mines that could be detonated independently from the front line were his gift to the first wave of Japanese troops!
Following his order, 30 seconds later, two Chinese soldiers in the frontline trench pressed the detonation rod, "Boom! Boom!" Two more intense puffs of gunpowder smoke rose from the frontline position.
Only this time, no Japanese troops were blown away, and no screams were made!
I just wish that the 70 Japanese infantrymen holding their heads in their hands were relieved. It didn't matter who they were bombing, as long as it wasn't themselves.
This is the mentality of ‘a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist’!
However, along with "Bata! Bahta!" an extremely uncomfortable sound continued to enter the ears, and a half-wet thing fell on the battlefield like rain, and some fell on people
Some of them fell on the grass...
Moreover, there seemed to be a very special smell permeating the air, which even the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke could not suppress.
In comparison, the smell of gunpowder smoke that makes it difficult to breathe is much better than that.
"Baga, what tricks are the Chinese playing?" A Japanese Army Commander grabbed a sticky lump from the back of his neck and brought it to his eyes.
The color of this yellow-white thing, coupled with the strong smell, almost made the Japanese Army Commander Cao confirm the identity of the substance in his palm!
The expression on his face instantly became wonderful!
