Chapter 33 The Burning Torch

It is said that the heavy machine gun in Suri's hand is the M2QCB Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun that is famous in later generations and is said to not be decommissioned even if it is killed. It was still used by the US military until the 21st century.

This machine gun is a large-caliber heavy machine gun designed by John Moses Browning. It fires 12.7×99 mm (.50BMG) large-caliber ammunition. It is commonly used in fire positions set up by infantry and military vehicles such as tanks and armored personnel carriers.

, the main purpose is to attack light armored targets, gather living targets and low-altitude air defense. It has been in use since 1921 and has been in service until the 21st century.

This is also the big killer weapon that Suri plans to use against the weakly armored Japanese tanks.

Looking at the Japanese tanks approaching from the front, Suri lay down behind the bunker, holding the handle of the heavy machine gun tightly with both hands, and shouted: "Hit!"

"Dong dong dong dong..."

A heavy sound like a drum sounded immediately.

The heavy sound struck people's hearts like a drum, and shining bullets flew forward.

Thanks to the support of a stable tripod and its heavy weight, the 58-kilogram machine gun produces very little vibration when fired. And because the rate of fire of the M2 machine gun is not very high, only 450-580 rounds per minute, it

The ballistic trajectory is extremely stable, and even a novice like Suri can accurately shoot the bullet towards the target.

This time Suri brought a total of four M2 heavy machine guns and placed them in a row on the position. The power of the 12.7 mm large-caliber heavy machine gun in salvo firing was amazing, just the air flow from the muzzle.

It splashed dust all over the sky.

Four shining chains of light struck the Japanese tanks like lightning. The Type 95 light tank headed by it was hit by three bullet chains at the same time. The inside was a steel core, and the outside was wrapped with aluminum-magnesium powder and burned.

The warhead of the agent hit the Japanese tank at a speed of 930 meters per second. When the steel core warhead collided with the armor of the tank, the warhead hit by high speed and high pressure quickly burned, triggering thousands of fires.

degree of high temperature.

The only 12 mm thick Liuding armor on the front of the Type 95 light tank could not stop this armor-piercing incendiary bullet specially designed to penetrate the armor. The Type 95 tank that was hit by hundreds of armor-piercing bullets burned rapidly.

When he got up, the entire tank quickly burned into a torch, and blazing fire shot into the sky. Soon the cannonball in the tank was detonated to form a secondary explosion.

"Boom..." With a loud noise, the ugly-looking Type 95 light tank's turret was blown into the air. The M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun's first appearance won a huge audience.

Not only Su Rui, but also Zhang Lingfu who was watching the battle in the command post was stunned by this result.

"Oh my God, what are those heavy machine guns of Battalion Commander Su? He is too powerful, isn't he?" Yang Zhanchun looked at the Japanese tanks in the distance and muttered to himself.

.

"If my estimate is correct, those machine guns are all made in the United States, and the bullets they use are not ordinary bullets, they must be armor-piercing incendiary bullets." Zhang Lingfu squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "It seems that I underestimated

This is Director Su!"

It is also interesting to say that Yang Zhanchun and Zhang Lingfu called Su Rui differently. One was called division chief, and the other was called battalion commander. Although they were both official titles, the meanings contained in them were quite different.

In the army, the logistics director is purely in charge of supplies and rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, while the battalion commander is a serious officer leading troops. Although they both have the same military rank, their gold content is very different.

From this we can also see Yang and Zhang’s character and attitude towards others.

After the first Japanese tank was destroyed, Suri and the remaining three heavy machine guns quickly moved their muzzles to the other four remaining tanks, hitting them with streaks of fire. Under the heavy rain of bullets, these four

The tank had no time to dodge before it was hit and burst into flames.

In this way, in less than ten minutes, the five Japanese light tanks were "named" one by one by Suri and others.

Looking at the five pieces of scrap iron burning on the battlefield, the national soldiers on the battlefield were stunned.

In the past two days, in order to blow up the Japanese tanks, no less than three to four hundred brothers have fallen in front of the position. The effort and price paid to blow up a tank can make people cry in despair.

But look at people, with just a few machine guns and a few "bursts", the Japanese tanks were destroyed so easily. This man is really infuriating compared to other people.

The remains of several tanks continued to burn in front of the position. From time to time, ignited shells made explosions, and the remaining bullets were detonated and flew everywhere.

For a moment, the gunfire on the battlefield miraculously became silent, with only the crackling sound of ammunition exploding.

At this time, the Japanese 114th Division was attacking Zhonghuamen. This division was a division of the Japanese Army. Since it was a Category C division, it had only two brigades and four regiments under its command. The division commander

This is Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu.

The one who attacked China Gate today was the 102nd Infantry Regiment of the 127th Infantry Brigade under the 114th Division. Under the command of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yasuhei Maruoka, they fought very fiercely.

With the support, the city wall will be captured next time.

But just now, they suffered a blow. All six tanks of the tank brigade, which they thought were invincible, were destroyed by the Chinese defenders. This blow made Colonel Maruoka Yasuhei furious.

He roared angrily and said to the messenger beside him: "Immediately tell Lieutenant Colonel Otsuka Noboru (Captain of the 120th Regiment of the 114th Division Field Artillery), if he cannot defeat the Chinese defenders within half an hour."

If his position was leveled by bombing and he fulfilled his duty, I will personally go to Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama (the commander of the 127th Brigade) to accuse him!"

"Hai!"

The messenger hurriedly ran all the way to deliver the order.

At this time, because all the Japanese tanks on May 2nd had been destroyed, the infantry who originally followed the Japanese tanks were also exposed, and the suppressed Chinese army firepower was also "resurrected", with countless large and small machine guns and various types of weapons.

Rifle bullets were fired at the Japanese army like water. The unprepared Japanese army was shot to the ground. After hundreds of corpses fell in front of the position, the Japanese army finally retreated.

"Bagaya Road!" Colonel Yasuhei Maruoka was so angry that he yelled in the regiment command post. While cursing at the front line captain Sakai Toichi who was responsible for the specific command, he urged the field artillery regiment to quickly provide artillery support.

Not to mention the brief chaos caused by the destruction of the tank squadron on the Japanese army's position, the morale of the Chinese army's position was boosted by repelling the Japanese attack. However, at this time, Zhang Lingfu ordered the entire army to

An order to withdraw from the position immediately and take cover behind the city wall.

"Fuck, what kind of plane are you doing? Why did you have to retreat after winning the battle? What on earth did the commander here do?" Li Yifeng couldn't help shouting on the battlefield.

Su Rui had to stop him: "Shut up, this is our defense zone. Captain Zhang has his own reasons for doing this. Why are you yelling? If you don't like it, just stay on your own. I will never stop you." Looking after you. Okay, everyone, hurry up, move all the firearms and ammunition back, and move quickly!"

Although Su Rui also had doubts in his mind, based on the evaluation of Zhang Lingfu, the anti-Japanese general, by later generations, this man was by no means a timid person. He must have his reasons for ordering the troops and convoys. He, the second sword, is the best It's better to obey others' orders.

The Zhonghua Gate, located in the south of Nanjing City, was built on the site of the southern gate of the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Jiankang Prefecture of the Southern Song Dynasty in the second to eighth years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1369--1375). It is said that when the city gate was built, The cornucopia of the wealthy businessman Shen Wansan's family was buried under the city gate. It had just been built, so it was originally called Jubaomen.

In the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931 AD), it was renamed the Zhonghua Gate. The three words "Zhonghua Gate" on the city gate were handwritten by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

The city gate of Zhonghua Gate is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. The upper floor originally had a verandah-style dysprosium tower with double eaves and tile roof. The middle floor is a masonry structure with a row of 7 caves for hiding soldiers inward. The middle floor of the lower floor is an urn city. There are three Tibetan Soldier Caves on each side of the corridor. The second to fourth city gates are two-story structures with wooden towers on top and masonry structures on the lower floors. Therefore, Su Rui and the others can directly enter the Tibetan Soldier Cave after entering the city gate. Hiding inside.

Su Rui and more than a hundred soldiers followed the soldiers of the 305th Regiment into a hiding cave when they heard bursts of roaring sounds from outside. It turned out to be retaliatory artillery fire from the Japanese army.

"My dear, the kid's artillery fire comes so fast!"

Hearing the rumbling sound of artillery outside, Li Yifeng was also startled. Hearing this posture, at least dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery were firing at the same time. If they had not come in quickly, they would have been covered by artillery fire... ..
