The first to rush out of the giant me323 was the battalion and company of the airborne regiment. This is one of the top troops in the airborne regiment. After half a year of training, they already know the basic essentials of airborne or airborne landings.
They are the first batch of troops to forcefully land. Their mission is not to destroy the enemy, nor to occupy any positions. Their only mission is to suppress, to suppress the enemy's firepower with all their strength, so that subsequent troops can land safely.
At the airport.
"Quick, quick, spread out, fire suppression"
Under the leadership of the officers, all the soldiers who had rushed out of the cabin were desperately suppressing the enemy with the weapons in their hands.
The equipment of the airborne troops has priority in the Thirty-seventh Army, so the improved mg42 of the mg34 just produced by the Chahar Military Factory was immediately taken by them.
The mg34 is the first general-purpose machine gun selected by Chief Su. This machine gun has many highlights, such as: it can be fed by a belt, or it can be fed by a 75mm drum magazine. It can be used to feed ammunition from both left and right.
Double guns can be used to deal with aircraft; the main parts are easy to load and disassemble, simple to operate, and can quickly change the shooting mode. The machine gun can quickly transfer positions, which is particularly important in actual combat.
However, mg34 has a serious shortcoming. Its structure is relatively complex, and the complex structure directly leads to more man-hours and materials being consumed during manufacturing.
In fact, this was Su Tong's helpless move. When Su Tong chose the mg34, the German Mauser Company had just finalized the mg34 and started equipping the troops. If Su Tong suddenly revealed its improved mg42, any fool would know what the consequences would be.
That was definitely something that Chief Su, who was just a vigilante leader at the time, couldn't afford.
It was not until now that he had the foundation of Chahar that some time ago Su Tong dared to show off the mg42, which can be called a milestone in general-purpose machine guns. Moreover, he even let someone shamelessly run to Germany with the design drawings of this gun.
The original manufacturer, Mauser Company, exchanged more than a dozen firearms engineers and came to Chahar to serve as technical guidance to improve Chahar's military industry level.
Now this machine gun, which looks like a crude piece of iron pieces and a patchwork of iron pipes, has exerted its super firepower.
"Cha-cha-cha-cha" sounds like tearing oilcloth and the dense and powerful rain of bullets were testing the nerves of the Japanese army.
"Bang!" The last assault vehicle modified from a Hummer rushed out of the giant's belly, and the M2 heavy machine gun mounted on the Hummer began to roar. After spitting out all the people in the stomach, the giant began to slide on the runway again,
It also has the airport to return to Zhangjiakou, where troops are waiting for it.
"Firepower, increase firepower." This was the only thought of the soldiers of the airborne regiment at this time. They were the first batch of personnel to land at the airport. It can be said that they took advantage of the Japanese army's carelessness, but when the Japanese army reacted,
, it is not so easy for the following planes to land safely. At this time, the first batch of soldiers are needed to suppress the firepower of the Japanese army to ensure that the subsequent troops can land safely.
The top commander of the Japanese army at the airport, Colonel Miura Kent, knew that if all the planes in the sky were forced to land, he would definitely die without a burial place. Even if he was not killed by the enemy, he would be killed by the division commander Nagano Kame.
Lieutenant General Ichiro was killed with a knife.
"Everyone concentrates their firepower and kills everyone."
Under Kenta Miura's strict order, all the firepower of the 83rd Regiment was concentrated on the mere No. 100 near the airport runway.
"Hit, put the machine gun on the mount and hit me hard."
The airport, where the smoke had not cleared, is now facing another fierce battle. In the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, the advantages of Chahar's emphasis on firepower gradually emerged. The characteristic of Chahar's military management is to emphasize firepower suppression, regardless of whether you fight.
If you don't hit the target, first you have to give me the ammunition and fire it at the enemy.
The Japanese army is different. The Japanese army emphasizes precise shooting. For Japan, an island country with poor resources, waste is simply an unforgivable thing. The Japanese, who are used to calculating their lives carefully, have always believed that if you launch
A hundred rounds of bullets that fail to hit the target are all in vain. Only one bullet can really kill a person. This view has not changed in the Japanese military until the 21st century.
These two armies, adhering to two completely opposite concepts, started a fierce battle at the airport. The Japanese army won because of its precise marksmanship, while the airborne regiment had fierce firepower. Both sides had their own reasons, and the fight was fierce.
But history and experience tell us that the more powerful the army is, the easier it is to win the battle. More than a hundred soldiers of the Airborne Regiment, under the cover of aircraft from the sky, completely suppressed the 83rd Regiment at the airport.
The firepower of more than 3,000 Japanese troops prevented the Japanese troops from attacking the transport plane that was forcibly landing.
After a while, the second Giant transport plane also successfully landed at the airport, and more than a hundred soldiers from the airborne regiment appeared at the airport. Followed by the third, fourth, and fifth planes
As more and more planes landed at the airport, Colonel Miura Kent desperately found that with his regiment, it had become impossible to prevent the arrival of Chahar's army.
"Sir Colonel, the firepower of the Chinese is getting more and more intense, what should we do?" A captain stumbled into Colonel Miura Kent's temporary headquarters.
Kenta Miura pulled out his command sword and put it on the captain's neck: "Baga, look at you, do you still look like a glorious imperial warrior? I have reported the situation here to the division commander.
Your Excellency, when you go back to organize the troops, you must hold the airport and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If the airport is lost, we will all die."
Looking at Miura Kenta's power like a mad dog, the captain shuddered violently. He knew that if he didn't express his position, Miura Kenta would definitely kill him.
"Hey, I will definitely organize troops to hold on. I will stop the Chinese at the airport and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."
Colonel Miura Kent raised his command sword and waited for the captain to say fiercely. "Well, you go ahead. If you dare to lose your position, you will understand the consequences."
"Hi"
The captain bowed, turned around and slipped away.
"Well, you go ahead. If you dare to lose your position, you will understand the consequences."
Colonel Miura Kent put his command sword into its sheath and shook his head helplessly. Having just been transferred from the 9th Division to the 21st Division, he understood that the fighting will and fighting spirit of this new division, which was only formed on April 4th this year,
The quality of the soldiers simply cannot be compared with his original division.
The three regiments of the 21st Division were adapted from the remaining infantry regiments. In other words, they were formed from the infantry regiments that were left over or even unwanted by others. The quality of the soldiers and officers is in Japan.
This army can only be considered second-rate or even third-rate.
But even this kind of troops still showed great brilliance in the battle with the 29th Army, beating the troops of the 29th Army to retreat. Yesterday, they even captured Nanyuan Airport.
This also made Colonel Miura Kent and his soldiers feel proud, but this good mood could not be maintained for long, as they were given a blow in the head by the airborne regiment today.
During the firefight with the airborne regiment, their proud marksmanship seemed to have lost its previous aura. They sadly discovered that as soon as one of their bullets was fired, the opponent fired back with a series of bullets.
Moreover, they also discovered that the opponent's infantry were all using automatic weapons. The 38-type rifles that they were originally proud of seemed to have turned into fire sticks compared with the opponent. Under the fierce firepower of the opponent, they pulled the gun.
A rifle that only needs a bolt to fire one bullet was suppressed by the opponent to the point where it couldn't even lift its head.
While the fighting continued, transport planes continued to land on the runway of the airport, dropping off soldiers one after another. After the two sides continued to exchange fire for half an hour, Zhang Lingfu's plane finally landed safely on the airport. When Zhang Lingfu got off
When the plane arrived, half of the soldiers of the airborne regiment had already poured into the airport.
As soon as Zhang Lingfu got off the plane, he saw a stubborn firepower point nearby that was constantly pouring out tongues of fire. He quickly called out, "Are the first battalion commander and the first battalion commander here? You quickly lead your brothers around from the left wing and give me the Japs there."
Come on, the heavy machine gun position there is too threatening to our landing aircraft, and its location is still in a blind spot, so it is difficult for the aircraft's bombs to blow up them. You must kick it, do you understand?"
"yes"
The battalion commander waved his hand and took a detour to the left with about a hundred soldiers who had arrived earlier.
"Whoosh" After a while, a line of white smoke flew out in the open space on the left. It made a piercing sound and rushed towards a fire point less than a hundred meters away in front. In the blink of an eye, it was spraying tenaciously.
The firing point made a loud "boom" sound, and countless sand, rocks and machine gun parts flew into the air.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu, who was hiding behind, secretly shouted, "This rocket launcher is easy to use, but the range is too short, only about a hundred meters. Moreover, it makes too much noise when launched, and it is too easy to expose the target. At this point, it
It is not as good as the 57mm recoilless rifle, but its characteristics of being easy to carry and easy to fire made the soldiers of the airborne regiment choose it.
"The third battalion will take a detour from the right, and the second battalion will attack me head-on." Zhang Lingfu gathered the soldiers who had just disembarked while directing the troops to attack forward.
"Da da da da" bullets kept hitting the Japanese bunkers. Although the effective range of the Ant mini submachine gun was only two hundred meters, its ferocious firepower made up for its lack of range. It can be said that as long as it is within two hundred meters
Within the range, the firepower of a submachine gun can suppress three or four Japanese soldiers.
