Chapter 019 Side Fire
50 meters away from the first line of defense of the first regiment, an officer in the Japanese infantry drew his command knife and shouted: "Warriors of the Empire, fools!"
Listening to the ghost howl of the Japanese officer, more than 1,000 Japanese infantry accelerated their pace and quickly crashed towards the first line of defense.
Seeing the Japanese infantry hitting the shaky bayonet, the second battalion commander shouted at the top of his voice: "Each from the second battalion, take your place! Get ready for the battle!"
Hundreds of soldiers from the Second Battalion poked their guns out of the trenches and pointed at the Japanese behind the tanks.
After breaking the 20-shot hammer of Dezhou, the second battalion commander raised his hand and shot down a Japanese officer.
Hearing the gunshot of the second battalion commander, all the soldiers of the second battalion suddenly opened fire, and the bullets rushed into the Japanese battle formation like locusts.
The dozen Japanese rushing in front were immediately swept down by a sudden volley fire, and corpses lay in front of the first regiment position.
Some of the Japanese were not dead thoroughly enough, covering their wounds and howling.
Perhaps it was a friend of the Japanese wounded soldier. A Japanese soldier actually tried to drag the wounded soldier in a rain of bullets.
With a sound of explosion, the Japanese soldier lay down.
At this time, the mg34 universal machine gun arranged on the left wing of the first line of defense was also firing wildly.
The Japanese kept charging forward, but they knew that a side fire point appeared on their right wing.
This side fire point is extraordinary, it is a high-speed machine gun made by the Third Reich Arsenal.
The machine gunner Da Yang, who grabbed the crotch hard and pinched the little insect to death, was finally able to control the mg34 general machine gun and spit out his tongue at the Japanese soldiers.
The dense rain of bullets was like a god of death sickle, sweeping across from the right wing of the Japanese battle formation.
When the bullet rain came, the Japanese had no time to make tactical avoidance actions of crawling on the ground, and were swept to the ground by the bullet rain from the flank.
The Japanese officer who had been paying attention to the preparation of the First Regiment was instantly stunned.
Liang Shanhao's first preparation regiment was so cunning that he actually fired on the sides of the wings.
What the infantry charge most feared is the enemy's side firepower, because in the open area, the infantry is in the cross-firing area of side firepower, and there is no way to hide.
There are almost no shooting dead ends, and if you run to the left, the firepower on the left will greet you, and the same is true on the right.
No matter how they evade, the attacking infantry will always be taken care of by crossfire.
When encountering this sudden situation, infantry has only two options: either charge forward desperately and crash into the enemy's trench to fight with them, or the back team changes to the front team, and run as fast as they can.
Of course, as the squadron leader of the 13th Regiment, Major Kameda cannot issue a retreat order.
Even though the firepower of the mg34 universal machine gun on the opposite side is so hard-core, Captain Kameda still has to respond to his life, because facing difficulties is his choice.
Only in this way can Captain Kameda not let down Captain Takeda United's trust.
Major Kameda, who was lying in a crater and frowned, shouted at the top of his voice: "Baga! The machine gun team will push up and suppress the firepower of the Chinese army. Matsushita, what about your grenade launcher team, hurry up! Kill the firepower points of the Chinese army for me."
However, Captain Kameda's choice is overestimated.
Because Captain Kameda knew nothing about the power of this German machine gun.
The Japanese light machine gun teams were about to suppress the mg34 general machine guns, but Da Yang smashed the two machine gun teams into a pile of parts, and ten Japanese machine gunners were almost killed and injured.
The remaining Japanese wounded man probably couldn't stand it today, so he pulled out a bayonet from his waist and stabbed it into his lower abdomen.
However, the Japanese's firepower of the curved fire has to be discussed. A grenade launcher with a tricky fighting style has long been secretly approaching to a position of 180 meters.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, two grenades slammed into Da Yang's left and right, and Da Yang's neck was immediately cut by shrapnel.
The machine gun shooter looked at Da Yang who was covering his neck and shouted sadly: "Brother Big Yang! Brother Big Yang!"
Da Yang endured the severe pain and squeezed out four words word by word: "Hurry......toe...to go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yang died heroically.
After wiping a tear, the machine gun deputy shooter plugged a 250 round cable into the loading port, pushed the bullet and loaded it. He controlled the mg34 general machine gun and swept the Japanese grenade launcher.
The Japanese grenade launcher team hiding in a crater were immediately pressed down so hard that they could not raise their heads. The Japanese in the grenade launcher team were only slightly injured, but the unlucky Japanese were swept over several of them.
Because the operation of short-point shooting cannot find the rhythm, and the mg34 general-purpose machine gun itself is different from the high firing rate of ordinary machine guns, a 250-round chain was knocked out in a blink of an eye.
Grasping the gap in the machine gun's deputy loading the ammunition chain, the Japanese grenade launcher took the opportunity to fight back.
Amid the harsh whistling sound, two grenades hit in a formation.
The poor machine gun deputy shooter just linked the bullet into the loading port and then tilted his head to the machine gun position.
He knocked down a Japanese squad leader with one shot, and the second battalion commander, who was frowning, quickly stepped forward to make up for the seat.
He quickly pushed the bullets and loaded them. The second battalion commander controlled the mg34 general machine gun and hugged the Japanese grenade launcher group!
Tetet!
Tetet!
Tetet!
Three rhythmic short shots swept over, and the Japanese who were operating the grenade launcher could not dodge, and were all swept to the ground, and immediately lost their combat effectiveness.
At this moment, a wave of Type 92 infantry artillery barrage swept over, immediately overturning the soldiers of the second battalion commander's prepared First Regiment to the ground.
The second battalion commander may be favored by God, but the second battalion commander was safe and sound.
Even so, the second battalion commander who had gasped in a breath was so scared that he quickly moved the mg34 universal machine gun to another safe place.
Another battle formation that shot long and swept towards the Japanese.
Tetetetetete!
Several Japanese devils who were lying near Captain Kamata were swept down by bullets, and blood actually splashed on Captain Kamata's face.
Shaking the dust on the steel helmet, Kameda whispered: "Bagayalu, what is the grenade launcher team doing? Hurry up! Kill that machine gun for me!"
After receiving the order from Captain Kameda, the two grenade launchers and a Type 92 heavy machine gun team that were lying near the left decided to shoot a vicious combination punch at the second battalion commander's mg34 universal machine gun.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun group moved to 150 meters. The main shooter turned the muzzle and swept towards the position where the second battalion commander was. A thirty round bullet board was instantly shot two-thirds.
Seeing the rain of bullets swept over, the second battalion commander suddenly lowered his body, and the bullet flew over the second battalion commander's German helmet.
A soldier in the first reserve regiment carrying an ammunition box happened to be hit by a stray bullet flying over and fell to the ground and died immediately.
After glanced at the dead soldier, the second battalion commander shouted at the top of his voice: "Ammunition hand, bring the ammunition box to me."
But just after a few steps, a wave of stray bullets swept the ammunition hand to the ground again. The ammunition hand's spine was broken, and it seemed that it would not be able to stand today.
The second battalion commander cursed in a low voice: "Grass!"
The mg34 universal machine gun mount was quickly stabilized, holding the bullet link in his left hand, and aiming at the heavy machine gun team of the Japanese was an unreasonable long shot.
TeteTeteTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTeTe
The Japanese heavy machine gun teams were all veterans with eight years of military experience. They were all smart. The four Japanese were just short and crawled on the ground. The mg34 bullets could not hurt them at all.
The second battalion commander wanted to continue shooting, but after pulling the trigger a few times, he found that the links were exhausted again.
The mg34 universal machine gun is easy to use, but the ammunition is consumed too quickly.
Seeing the ammunition box falling from a distance, the second battalion commander decided to get it by himself.
A spirit cat rolled, and the second battalion commander moved to the ammunition box in two steps in three steps.
Even though the Japanese bullets fired several more waves, the second battalion commander was still unscathed.
But the moment when luck is exhausted, it is the moment when the second battalion commander stuffs the bullet link into the loading port.
The Japanese grenade launcher team, which had been coveting for a long time, had fired several grenades.
It is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows!
The second battalion commander, who was about to shoot with a gun, just pulled the trigger and shot a short shot at the Japanese. Several shrapnel were hit on the second battalion commander's face, shoulders and waist.
The most terrifying thing is that the second battalion commander's eyes were injured by shrapnel.
Seeing the Second Battalion Commander who was covering his eyes slumped on the ground and rolled and wailed, several soldiers of the First Preparatory Regiment immediately came up and shouted in grief: "Battery Commander! Battalion Commander!"
After enduring the severe pain, the second battalion commander still shouted and cursed: "Hurry up! Damn it, push it up... if the Japanese break through our position, the ranks will be in danger!"
Close the door and fight the dog, but the door is now a bit unblocked! If this door is knocked open by the Japanese infantry, the tank behind it will be difficult to fight.
In serious cases, the entire position of the first reserve regiment and even the entire Yuhuatai position may be lost!
After hearing this, a few soldiers from the Second Battalion immediately made up, leaving the second battalion commander to lie in the trenches and endure the pain.
But just after a few short shots, they swept over a dozen Japanese, and a wave of Type 92 infantry artillery barrage suddenly came again.
This time, not only did the warriors who were preparing for the First Regiment, but even the only mg34 universal machine gun was blown into parts.
Without the side firepower threat of mg34 general machine gun, the Japanese infantry gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Second Battalion.
Even though the entire regiment was equipped with Mauser rifles, the Second Battalion still suffered a great loss in terms of individual soldiers and the number of soldiers.
Although the Second Battalion still has many Czech light machine guns and two Type 92 heavy machine guns that are struggling to support them, they can't resist the number of Japanese infantry that has the advantage.
The defense line of the Second Battalion is in a trend of collapse!
