As a high-end technical arm of the army, artillery is of a higher value than ordinary infantry. It takes a lot of time and cost to train one.
In terms of training cost alone, only ten infantrymen are often worth one professional artilleryman. If we look at battlefield value, a professional artilleryman can even change the direction and outcome of the battlefield at critical moments.
However, at this critical moment, no one could take care of the artillerymen who were like treasures, because whether they were automobile soldiers, infantrymen, or even the Japanese artillery commanders, they were all in a state of confusion.
Where did the cannonballs come from?
Why are there cannonballs here?
No one answered this question.
The fire was burning, and in just one encounter, the Japanese vanguard units suffered nearly 200 casualties, more than ten vehicles were destroyed, and the infantry troops suffered extremely heavy casualties.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!! Everyone jump out of the car!" The grassroots Japanese commanders with extremely high military quality and rich practical experience reacted very quickly and immediately roared at the surrounding Japanese soldiers, their voices full of anxiety.
.
Jump off the car!
You must jump off the car as quickly as possible!
If you continue to stay in the car, you will be a living target for the enemy.
"Bang bang bang!!!" At the same time, the 686 regiment's ambush position in the high ground on the right side of the Weidai Highway suddenly erupted with extremely dense and loud gunfire. All the main battalions of the regiment did not hesitate to join the battle and opened fire with all their strength.
Just pursue maximizing results.
Hit the snake seven inches, seize the enemy's weak point and hit it hard.
What is a weakness?
That is because the information between the two sides is unequal. The Japanese reinforcements did not know that a division-level combat unit of 12,000 people was conducting an ambush.
In an instant, various gunshots rang out from the ambush position of the 686th Regiment. In terms of rifles, there were rifles made in China and Hanyang. In terms of machine guns, it can be said that a hundred flowers bloomed. Jin-made Maxim heavy machine guns, Jinling-made 24-type heavy machine guns, Jin-made 38
Type heavy machine gun, imported legal Hotchkiss 1922 light machine gun, Czech light machine gun, Madsen light machine gun.
There are many kinds, the most are seven or eight, and the few are one.
What is universal goods?
That’s it!
But it doesn't matter whether it is a Wan Guo Huo or not. As far as the Eighth Route Army is concerned, as long as it can fire and fire bullets, it is the best machine gun!
Now, all firepower is on!
For this battle, not only the 686th Regiment emptied their fortunes, but the 115th Division also emptied their fortunes.
The heavy machine gun fired to suppress the fire, and in conjunction with the light machine gun's precise burst, hot and blazing metal warheads shot out, quickly weaving into an airtight and dynamic firepower network, flying at high speed along the predetermined trajectory, pointing directly at the ambush.
Japanese convoy below the position.
The ambush position located on the mountain ridge and the high ground on the right is only about 350 meters straight away from the Weidai Highway. The group of metal warheads containing high kinetic energy covered this distance in a very short time and accurately hit a man who was standing there.
The Japanese soldier jumped out of the car. The 7.92mm pointed bullet containing 5,000 joules of terrifying kinetic energy had unprecedented lethality. After entering the body of the Japanese soldier, it shattered the muscles and soft visceral tissue like a meat grinder, and then created an extremely terrifying cavity.
effect, causing fatal secondary damage.
The diameter of the wound on the front of the body is only 8 mm, while the diameter of the wound on the back reaches 8 cm, forming a huge hole. This is the most intuitive understanding of the cavity effect.
Under the crazy attack of heavy machine gun bullets like a dense rainstorm, human tissue is no more fragile than an egg shell.
A Japanese soldier was hit by more than a dozen bullets while jumping out of a vehicle. Before he could utter any screams, his body instantly fell apart and appeared irregular.
More than thirty light and heavy machine guns were distributed throughout the ambush position and fired at full strength. The sound of the machine guns together was sweet and resounded throughout the Qiaogou Valley. The Japanese soldiers on the road fell in pieces like wheat, and their blood was almost stained red.
road, and then, 700 high-precision mid-level rifles and more than 1,000 Hanyang-made rifles joined the dynamic firepower network to form the basic unit, and used precise shooting to cooperate with the light and heavy machine gun groups to attack the Japanese army.
Although the shooting distance is as high as more than 300 meters, Red Army veterans and sharpshooters with outstanding marksmanship can still effectively kill individual Japanese soldiers with the range and high accuracy of medium- and formal rifles.
Yes, precision shooting without sights under the visual field conditions at dawn is so exaggerated.
With the batches of new mid-level and formal rifles equipped with advanced performance, veterans and sharpshooters in grassroots units have improved their marksmanship to a higher level after replacing old guns with severely worn rifling.
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
Although the Chinese official rifle is not ranked high in the world's famous gun club, it is completely sufficient for the Eighth Route Army troops, and it is much better than the old slide made in Hanyang.
Rivers of blood flowed on the road, screams and cries arose one after another. The head of the Japanese convoy, which was under intensive care, looked like a slaughterhouse.
die!
Death is everywhere!
"Mom, Mom!" A young Japanese soldier lay on the muddy road and wailed in pain. He covered his bullet-torn abdominal cavity with his hands and kept trying to stuff the fallen intestines into his stomach. The extreme pain came from the wound.
The madness stimulated his nerves and brought him to the verge of collapse.
He wanted to live, but no one could save him.
"Ambush, we were ambushed!"
"The Chinese are on the mountain on the right!"
"Baga, where did these Chinese people come from?! Why are there still organized troops here? The infantry should not gather too much, spread out and look for bunkers, and avoid the Chinese mortars! Set up machine guns to fight back!"
Cangshan Yuanye, captain of the third battalion of the 11th Japanese Regiment, was lying on the left side of the road, watching the officers and warriors of the Japanese Empire falling continuously. His eyes were blood red, and his chest was filled with endless anger. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it hard.
On the muddy ground, he roared loudly.
Although he didn't know which force attacked the Imperial Japanese Army, he had to let the attackers understand the cost of such an act.
Since the attackers opened fire with all their strength, the combat units that formed the vanguard have suffered heavy losses, especially the third battalion under his command. More than a hundred imperial warriors have been crushed to pieces, and the casualties are incalculable. Such casualties have a great impact on Cangshan Wilderness.
It is simply a shame, an unprecedented shame.
You know, even when it participated in the Battle of Nankou not long ago, the Third Battalion did not suffer such high casualties.
As Captain Cangshan Yuanye of the Third Battalion began to take command, the Japanese soldiers who were in a state of confusion finally came to their senses and restored a certain order. Many soldiers began to use cars as bunkers to fight back.
The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun unit near the position looked around for a bunker that was convenient for shooting, and soon found a half-man-high stone not far behind them. The unit leader's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately determined the shooting point and signaled to the other machine gunners.
Start building a machine gun position.
Four Japanese machine gunners quickly carried the Type 92 heavy machine gun that had been rescued with great difficulty. However, just after walking three meters off the road, one of the machine gunners suddenly felt as if he had stepped on some metal object with his right foot.
"Ground..." The machine gunner's face suddenly turned pale, his face full of horror, and he immediately tried to issue a warning loudly.
If it was a loose mine, then he still had a chance to survive.
However, the reality is not what-if, and there will not be too many loose-fired mines for you to perform on the real battlefield. The two-kilogram Excalibur-2 fragmentation anti-personnel mine that uses the working principle of compression will enter the working state. After 0.1 seconds,
, a kilogram of TNT loaded with fuze activation.
"boom!!!"
In an instant, a dull explosion like a volcanic eruption was heard again, flames shot into the sky, countless metal fragments flew into the sky, four Japanese machine gunners were blown to pieces on the spot, countless flesh and blood flew everywhere, the Type 92 heavy machine gun returned directly to the state of parts, and the highway area
Five or six Japanese infantrymen who were squatting behind the car and fighting back were hit by fragments and were instantly seriously injured. The Japanese soldiers seven or eight meters away were hit by the shock wave, their minds were shaken, and they suddenly lost consciousness.
The real power of one kilogram of TNT is extremely terrifying, and it is definitely not the fireworks show in the TV series.
"Bagh Ya Road!!!" Cangshan Wilderness was also affected by the power of the mine explosion. Fortunately, it was far away and was not injured. Looking at the miserable situation of the machine gun unit, his eyes were blood red and he roared with gritted teeth.
He was angry but unable to change.
"Each company fires freely, and observers look for high-value units to accurately suppress the heavy firepower of the Japanese army!" Zhao Zhangcheng, the top commander of the artillery battalion at the Shanling artillery position, confirmed the effect of the whole battalion's shelling through the telescope, and was very satisfied.
Hesitant to give the order to open fire.
As a protagonist, you must have the responsibility of the protagonist. In this battle, the task of the divisional mortar battalion is to suppress the heavy firepower units of the Japanese army with all its strength and provide the greatest support to the infantry.
