In the eyes of later generations, the characteristic of the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery was that its performance was too mediocre. It was inferior to artillery of the same period in terms of range and power, but its greatest advantage was precisely its mediocre characteristics.
First of all, it is light in weight. Only two soldiers can drag it around with a weight of 212 kilograms. Secondly, it can shoot both horizontally and in a straight direction, and it is even possible to use it as a mortar.
Because its performance was so excellent, Japan manufactured more than 3,000 of them during World War II, and it became the standard equipment of the Japanese Army, even equipped by every infantry brigade.
Under the bombardment of the Type 92 infantry artillery, the first battalion that had just launched a counterattack was indeed caught off guard, but the soldiers of the first battalion who quickly adjusted their tactics immediately accelerated their speed under the command of Wu Chengfeng.
The soldiers on both sides soon became entangled. The Japanese artillerymen were also a little dumbfounded. After all, artillery was artillery. It could not be as accurate as a rifle to target moving soldiers. Moreover, if the fire continued, it would be easy to accidentally injure them.
to one's own people.
"Da da da... da da da..."
Zou Tieshan ran quickly with his 98K rifle. At this time, he had no time to aim and shoot, so he could only follow closely behind his squad leader.
After running a few hundred meters, their three-person combat team was already sweating profusely. When they turned a corner, they finally saw a group of Japanese soldiers.
Zou Tieshan had no time to think about raising the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger towards the figure of a Japanese soldier in front.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the bullet rushed out of the gun barrel at a speed of 755 meters/second. Almost at the moment the gunshot sounded, Zou Tieshan saw the Japanese soldier raise his hands and the Type 38 rifle in his hand flew out.
Several meters away, the whole person immediately lay on the ground motionless, and the powerful power of the 7.92-caliber bullet was clearly visible.
At the same time that Zou Tieshan opened fire, the deputy squad leader and rifleman of the same combat group also opened fire.
"Da da da……"
The deputy squad leader was not to be outdone. The Schmeisser submachine gun in his hand fired all 32 bullets in the magazine in just a few seconds. As the magazine was emptied, two more Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
.
"cover me!"
The deputy squad leader who had emptied the bullets immediately lay down to change the magazine, while the two riflemen not far away stuck their heads out to cover the shooting.
The Japanese soldiers who had suffered a loss were enraged. They were retreating and stopped retreating. The group turned around and rushed towards the three of them.
The offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield changed so quickly that the three people who were originally pursuing them immediately became defenders.
"Deputy deputy, where are our people? Why haven't they followed?"
After playing for a few minutes, Zou Tieshan couldn't help but asked loudly.
The three of them looked back together and found that there was no one behind them.
"It's broken. I got lost with the army."
A bad thought arose in the minds of three people at the same time.
But the fact was exactly what they thought. Because they chased so fast, they got separated from the troops behind them.
The Japanese army on the opposite side had to retreat after being bombed, and then being chased by the Chinese army. They were originally very angry, but now after seeing that there were only three Chinese soldiers on the opposite side, the squad leader couldn't bear it.
Living.
He immediately ordered the team to start outflanking Zou Tieshan and the other three. For a moment, bullets hit the surroundings of Zou Tieshan and the other three, making a snapping sound. From time to time, fragments of bullets flying from the bullets fell on their faces.
What made the three of them most desperate was that the Japanese team on the opposite side actually had a Type 96 light machine gun. The fierce firepower quickly overwhelmed the three of them and made them unable to lift their heads.
The Type 96 light machine gun kept roaring, and the dense bullets scattered little dust on the ground. Zou Tieshan and the other three could only hide behind the bunker and did not dare to raise their heads.
The deputy squad leader who was hiding in the crater took out the folding periscope he carried with him. This periscope looks like a cigarette box.
Initially, it was just made of a metal cigarette case, a few pieces of ammunition box iron sheet and two pieces of glass. Once the cigarette case was pulled, a periscope supported by multiple prongs was immediately formed. The two 45-degree lenses allowed soldiers to see without showing their heads.
It is convenient and practical for observing the enemy's situation. It was later improved and became a standard equipment.
The light on the battlefield filled with gunfire and bullets flying was generally very poor. Through the lens, the deputy squad leader could only see the flashing figures in the direction where the gunfire came from and the muzzle flash of the Japanese army on the opposite side when they opened fire.
"Da da……"
The Type 96 light machine gun on the opposite side was still firing continuously, and the muzzle fireworks about half a foot long were reflected on the lens.
After seeing the Japanese target exposed, the deputy squad leader quickly shouted: "Zou Tieshan, direction 11 o'clock, distance about 200, fire two rifle grenades."
At this time, the Japanese machine gunners were still firing wildly at the hiding place of the three people, and 6.5mm Arisaka bullets kept passing around the three people.
After hearing the order, Zou Tieshan found a hiding place and took out the long-cylinder type 42 grenade launcher and put it on the muzzle of the gun. He also filled the empty bag and fired two grenades in succession. With the explosion of the 30mm grenade, people on the opposite side
The Japanese machine gun immediately became mute.
After blowing up the Japanese machine gun, the deputy squad leader did not give the order to take the opportunity to charge, but shouted, "Retreat!"
After all, there is a small team of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. The third person can only die if they rush forward, so they should just accept it as soon as possible.
But as soon as the deputy squad leader jumped up from the crater, a bullet from an unknown source hit him immediately.
With a scream, the deputy squad leader fell to the ground, but he still endured the pain and rolled to the side behind the broken wall.
"Mate, please don't move, let me take a look."
Zou Tieshan rushed to the deputy squad leader and checked nervously. He found that the bullet had hit his left thigh, and blood was flowing continuously along the bullet hole.
As a result of being shot, the deputy squad leader's face was twitching in pain. He struggled to put a new magazine on the submachine gun in his hand, and reluctantly said: "Tieshan, Xiaosun, I can't leave. Hurry up.
Let's go, I'll hold off the Japanese for you."
"Squad deputy, what are you talking about? If you abandon your superiors on the battlefield and run away without permission, you will be shot." Zou Tieshan took out a first-aid kit from his waist without any explanation, tore it open and wrapped the bandage around the deputy squad leader's wound several times.
Prevent further bleeding.
He hesitated and asked: "Vice assistant, can you still hold it in? How about I give you a shot of painkillers? You can't use this stuff too much."
The analgesic injections Zou Tieshan mentioned are naturally morphine injections. Although these can relieve pain quickly, it is true that they are easily addictive. Therefore, the Liantai Militia only distributes them to soldiers during wartime, and they will repeatedly remind them not to use them if they can.
No need, once you become addicted your whole life will be ruined.
The deputy squad leader suppressed the pain and laughed and cursed: "I am already a dying person, why are I still afraid of addiction?"
