Moreover, Suri's order to the soldiers around him was to shoot out the ammunition in the gun as quickly as possible, regardless of whether it could hit the enemy, just shoot it out. For Suri's order, which was like a prodigal,
Luo Zhedong and the soldiers of the 87th Division around him could only watch and express their depression.
But having said that, the efforts of Suri and the others were not in vain. Although the nine of them were small in number, with the Garand semi-automatic rifles and an MG34 general machine gun in their hands, they stunned the Japanese attacking in front.
It was thought that at least two platoons of national troops were firing at them.
"Quick, quick! Press the grenade up quickly."
Major Suzuki Shigenoe, captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the 19th Regiment, directed the troops to attack forward cautiously. At this time, he had already commanded two infantry squadrons to covertly rush to a distance of about 400 meters from the city wall. This distance was already the distance of the Japanese army.
Within the effective range of the grenade.
Therefore, Major Shigenoe Suzuki couldn't wait to issue an order for the grenade team to quickly eliminate the enemy's firepower points.
Here I would like to specifically mention the grenadiers equipped by the Japanese army. The grenadiers are not exclusive to the Japanese army, but they are one of the most important infantry support firepower of the Japanese army.
Most of the grenade launchers currently equipped by the Japanese army are Type 89 grenade launchers. It is an improved version of the Taisho decade, with a caliber of 50 mm, a total gun length of 413 mm, a barrel length of 260 mm, a total gun weight of 2.7 kg, and a barrel weight of 2.7 kg.
1.6 kg, barrel foot length 170 mm, barrel plate weight 1.1 kg, foot plate height 60 mm, foot plate width 67 mm, maximum range 700 meters, effective range 500 meters. It can launch both ordinary grenades and grenades.
grenade.
As can be seen from the above, this grenade weighs only about three kilograms, and any infantryman can carry it around the world. Moreover, for Japan, which has mature technology, the cost of the grenade is only four times that of a rifle.
One, and Type 91 grenades are basically the same as ordinary infantry grenades and are extremely cheap. Such a price is simply too cheap compared to the good performance of the grenade.
The main flaw of the Japanese grenade is its aiming and accuracy. The grenade does not have a precise sight similar to that of a mortar, and it can only perform rough aiming. To put it simply, it cannot hit the target.
It mainly relies on the shooter's feeling and experience. But in the hands of experienced veterans, the hit rate can be as high as 80% or even 90% at a distance of three to four hundred meters. Therefore, in World War II, this grenade became
One of the most popular weapons of Japanese infantry.
Let’s talk about Suri who was fighting happily on the city wall. Although they tried their best to suppress the Japanese army, their numbers were too small to form suppressive firepower, so they still allowed the Japanese army to push forward step by step.
Seeing that the Japanese army had approached to a range of about 400 meters, Luo Zhedong hurriedly said to Su Rui: "Director Su (according to the official title on Su Rui's ID), you have been spending too much time here, please move your position quickly.
.”
"What? Move positions? Why?"
Su Rui was very puzzled. He turned his head and was about to ask the reason. Suddenly an explosion sounded more than ten meters away from him, followed by several more grenade-like explosions exploding near them. Several people were shooting toward them.
The soldier who was shot by the Japanese army immediately fell into a pool of blood.
"Fuck, what kind of weapon did the Japanese devils attack?" Su Rui, who was blown to pieces, got up from the ground and asked groggily.
Luo Zhedong: "Grenade, the Japanese grenade, quickly let your people hide!"
"Hurry up and move your position!" After Su Rui said this, he and Luo Zhedong quickly ran to a hiding spot not far away. The rest of the people also quickly moved away, especially Wu Dali, who also quickly picked up the MG34 and
The deputy shooter ran to another crenel and took cover.
Hiding in the bunker, Su Rui, whose face was turned pale by the blast, gasped and said to Luo Zhedong: "The kid's grenade exploded too accurately."
Luo Zhedong smiled bitterly and said: "What do you think? Why should I be so careful if the little devil doesn't take care of me? Do you know that in the Battle of Songhu a few days ago, the soldiers of the 42nd Brigade of the 14th Division of the 18th Army under Commander Chen Cheng
Thirty-six heavy machine guns were ordered to block the Japanese army, but before the fight lasted long, the Japanese used flat-fire cannons and grenade launchers to knock out thirty-two of them, and the rest were all paralyzed. They were beaten so miserable that
ah."
"The kid's grenade is so accurate?" Su Rui was a little surprised at this time. He had also heard in books from veterans who survived the Anti-Japanese War how sharp the Japanese grenade was. At that time, he was not too surprised.
There are so many impressions, but now that I have experienced them myself, I realize that those are lessons learned with blood by veterans.
"Of course!" Luo Zhedong shook his head and sighed: "It's the same with our Eighty-seventh Division. Our machine guns can generally only fire a few hundred rounds before we have to move our position, otherwise the Japanese grenades will hit us accurately.
But moving a Maxim heavy machine gun weighing nearly 100 kilograms is not easy! Once our machine gun firepower was destroyed, the Japanese army immediately used heavy machine gun firepower to suppress our army's firepower, and then immediately launched a charge with superior force." At this point,
Luo Zhedong's expression suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that this was an unbearable memory.
Suri also fell silent. For someone who has been misled by directors who turned the Anti-Japanese War theme into comedies since he was a child, he has only now gained a preliminary understanding of the cruelty of this war.
"Heizi, Hou Liu, Lao Ma, you all wake up, wake up quickly..."
At this time, the cry of a soldier came through. Su Rui turned around and saw that a soldier wearing the same German military uniform as himself was holding the bodies of several sacrificed soldiers and crying bitterly. Su Rui knew that those who died were
The soldiers were exactly the ones he brought with him.
Looking at the soldier who was crying so hard on several corpses, Su Rui felt a sense of irritation in his heart. These soldiers died because of his orders. Although they died on the anti-Japanese battlefield, he always felt that
My heart was filled with panic.
Looking at the silent Su Rui, Luo Zhedong seemed to see what he was thinking, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Su, you'd better go down. You are from the 36th Division, and this is not your defense area.
I am very grateful that you can send me so many weapons and ammunition to my brother. I promise you, brother, that as long as I can survive this time, I will definitely treat you to a drink in the future!"
Su Rui sighed softly. He knew it was time to leave. After all, he had too few people. Even a machine gun would not have much effect. Besides, there were many people waiting for him in the church.
Su Rui nodded: "Okay, sir, Luo, I'll leave first. If we have a chance, we can have a drink together in the future. I'll take my leave now."
"Go away, I won't send you off!" Luo Zhedong also said solemnly.
"Wang Dezi, take your fallen brothers and let's go!"
When Su Rui walked down the city wall, he looked back at the Guanghua Gate behind him. With a heavy heart, he knew that except for a few of the remaining thousands of soldiers of the Eighty-seventh Division, most of the remaining people would die forever.
They stay here, and their heroic spirits guard this ancient capital of China from generation to generation.
After putting several corpses on the carriage, Su Rui started the car and prepared to set off. Wang Dezi, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly asked: "Sir, can we still get out of Nanjing alive?"
Su Rui sat quietly for a while, a firm look slowly appeared in his expression, and then he said slowly: "Yes, I will definitely take you out of Nanjing alive!"
After saying that, Suri started the truck, and then the roaring sound started. As soon as Suri stepped on the accelerator, the truck sped out like a whipped horse...
