The soldiers who entered Guancheng crushed the enemy in all directions. This was not only because the repeating rifles in the hands of the soldiers had the advantage of close combat, but also because they adopted the tactics of snipers and riflemen.
The snipers of the airborne troops are equipped with the 38-gauge.
Originally, the soldiers hoped to use Springfield-style rifles, because the 38-type cover was too long and was not suitable for turning around in the cabin and parachuting, and even parachuting was dangerous.
Not only is the Springfield rifle shorter in length than the 38-inch rifle, it is also equally capable in all aspects, especially in terms of lethality, which is much stronger than the 38-meter rifle.
But Wang Xuexin finally decided to equip the airborne troops with the 38-inch cover.
This is what Wang Xuexin said to Wang Shuheng: "Comrade Wang Shuheng, you have to know that the airborne troops are a special force. The difference between you and other troops is that you are surrounded by the enemy as soon as you land. In this case, it is difficult for you to obtain sustained support."
There is no way to supply and equip a repeating rifle. It has to be used in order to increase combat effectiveness and explosive power, but if you still use Taka-chan’s Springfield style as a long-range bolt-action rifle..."
So Wang Shuheng immediately understood, he nodded and said: "The regiment leader is right, we should use the 38 big cover, so that at least the sharpshooters can get ammunition supplies from the Japanese!"
Wang Xuexin nodded. Wang Shuheng, as the leader of the airborne regiment, should understand that you should not only choose advanced equipment on the battlefield, but should consider all aspects to choose suitable equipment.
After the bolt-action rifle was decided on the Type 38 machine gun, the Japanese machine gun was naturally chosen as the Type 96 machine gun.
Although the Japanese have a more advanced Type 99 machine gun, the Type 99 machine gun shoots 7.7mm caliber bullets, which are not compatible with the 6.5mm caliber bullets of the 38, so they can only replace the Type 99 type with the Type 96 type.
(Note: The bullets of the Type 96 machine gun are common with those of the 38-type cover, and the Type 99 machine gun is common with the Type 99 rifle, but the Japanese’s Type 99 rifle is mainly used in Southeast Asian countries and the Pacific battlefield, and is rarely used in China)
At this time, the machine gunners and riflemen had immediately occupied the commanding heights on both sides of Guancheng. The searchlights on the turrets were shining down... As long as they hit the enemy, a row of bullets would immediately fall down. Occasionally, there would be a few.
The Japanese who were hiding in the dark and shooting would also be hit accurately by the prepared Eighth Route Army sharpshooters because the muzzle of their guns exposed their positions.
When the enemy's firepower was suppressed by machine gunners and sharpshooters, the soldiers equipped with repeating rifles charged forward while throwing grenades... The small power of the Eighth Route Army's grenades became an advantage at this time. They were throwing
You don't even need to duck down to dodge when grenades are fired.
But of course, as airborne troops, the soldiers were also equipped with oval grenades captured from the Japanese.
The Eighth Route Army also had its own prefabricated fragmentation grenades, but due to problems with the production process, the Eighth Route Army's self-produced grenades were heavier and less powerful. The airborne troops needed to save every bit of weight and carry more equipment, so they were equipped with Japanese grenades.
These two types of grenades are used as offensive grenades and defensive grenades: your own grenade has fewer fragments and a smaller killing radius, so you can use it in the offensive type. The enemy's grenade has more fragments and has a smaller killing radius and is more likely to accidentally injure you, so you can use it in the defensive type.
However, the defensive grenades here are not all defensive. For example, when you want to break into a house and throw grenades inward, it is more suitable to use a powerful defensive grenade.
All the defenses of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Guancheng were aimed at the north and south sides of Guancheng. They never expected that the Eighth Route Army would attack the city from both sides. Unprepared, they were beaten with corpses all over the field and even raised their hands to surrender.
No chance...
To be precise, it is not that there is no chance of surrender. If you really want to surrender, you only need to raise your hands and kneel on the ground.
But surrender is not appropriate at any time on the battlefield.
For example, now, the Japs and the puppet soldiers are mixed together and it is still dark. Even if some puppet soldiers want to surrender, they dare not make the surrender easily, because as long as they raise their hands, the Japs' bayonets and rifles will immediately greet them.
.
So the puppet army had only one way out, that is, escape...
A large number of puppet troops poured out from the gap in the city wall, and the Japanese could not stop them.
In fact, the Japanese didn't do much to stop them, because they found that there were eight routes on both sides.
The army charged towards them and the firepower was very fierce. At this time, staying in Guancheng seemed to be the only way to die. Although it was not a good idea to withdraw from Guancheng and escape, it was better than staying in Guancheng and waiting to die.
Soon the Japanese also joined the fleeing crowd.
But soon, the searchlights on the turrets on both wings locked the exit of Guancheng... Although the city wall of Guancheng was incomplete, there was only a road a few meters wide at the exit. When the searchlights shone down, all the Japanese and puppet soldiers were gone.
Exposed to light.
The machine gun sound of "click, click, click" soon started. Several machine guns poured raindrops of bullets towards the exit at the same time. The cross firepower instantly sealed the exit. Whether it was puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers, they were all like a paragraph.
The piece of wood fell to the ground like a wooden pile and rolled down the slope of the road.
What was even more terrifying was that the Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly occupied Guancheng. They climbed up the city wall, set up repeating rifles, and hit the deserters on the back with their guns...
With no escape route in front and pursuers behind, I am afraid this is the plight of the Japanese at this time.
The puppet troops could no longer bear the pressure of this desperate situation. They raised their hands and raised their rifles above their heads and shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender! We surrender!"
However, how could the Japanese be willing to do so? After a burst of yelling and cursing, several explosions of "boom" were heard. The Japanese and the puppet soldiers were both blown up, causing them to flip over and scream in agony.
It turned out that a few Japanese soldiers who were unwilling to surrender lit grenades and died together with the puppet troops who wanted to surrender.
There were also some Japanese who mingled with the puppet army and shot at the Eighth Route Army... Their intention was very obvious, which was to provoke a melee between the Eighth Route Army and the puppet army and prevent the puppet army from surrendering.
The puppet army saw that the situation was not good: if they let the devils continue to torture them like this, they would either be blown up by the devils and go to hell with them, or they would be killed by the devils.
So I heard a loud shout: "Brothers, if you want to survive, beat the hell out of you!"
The nearby puppet soldiers immediately swarmed up, pinching them with their hands, stabbing them with knives, hitting them with their rifle butts, or hugging them so that they could not move...
In just a moment, all the Japanese were subdued.
Wang Xuexina immediately received the information about the occupation of Yanmen Pass, and also seized the supplies of more than 100 vehicles, of which more than 70 vehicles were loaded with ammunition and artillery shells.
Wang Xuexin nodded with satisfaction after seeing this: As long as Wang Shuheng makes full use of the captured 38 caps and these ammunition, he will not have to worry about ammunition when guarding Yanmen Pass. The next step is to fight a tough battle with the Japanese.
At this time, the guard outside the door came in and reported: "Captain, the foreign woman is clamoring to see you..."
Wang Xuexin was stunned, foreign woman?
Then I immediately realized that it should be Qiong.
Wang Xuexin nodded and said, "Let her in!"
What surprised Wang Xuexin was that Qiong didn't come alone. He also brought with him a young man in a neat suit and parted hair.
As soon as he saw Wang Xuexin, he excitedly stepped forward to shake hands and said in English: "Hello, comrade leader, my name is Turing, I just came from Sun Never Sets..."
Wang Xuexin was stunned on the spot.
Turing? This guy is actually Turing?
He actually arrived in China and stood right in front of him!
