When a heavy machine gun is fired, the muzzle flame emitted by the 12.7 mm bullet can reach more than one meter long.
Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain a better shooting range for shooters, automatic weapons such as heavy machine guns and light machine guns will be equipped with a flash suppressor cap. In order to increase the deterrence, the weapons distributed by the exploration team have canceled the flash suppressor cap.
So when Huang Li gave the order to open fire, the camp wall, including the bunkers outside the wall, really looked like a fire dragon that had just woken up, and he was really angry when he got up.
When all the automatic weapons fire at the same time, there is no rhythmic shooting sound at all. All the shooting sounds converge together to form a huge sound wave, coupled with the dust stirred up by the shooting
and gunpowder smoke, the entire temporary camp felt as if someone had thrown it into the sky and then hit the ground heavily.
Both the sounds and movements are quite similar.
The charging Malagasy were unlucky.
Before the defenders opened fire, the Malagasy people lined up in a neat queue, marching in neat steps, with heads held high and firm expressions on their faces, as they marched towards the temporary camp, just like brave warriors who were brave and generous in their righteousness.
This is a scale of tens of thousands of people, and it looks really impressive.
But after the fire was fired, the natives who were walking boldly and boldly just now seemed as if they were hit with a sledgehammer. Their upper bodies flew directly backwards, while their lower bodies remained in place, and some still relied on inertia to move forward.
He took another step forward, and the situation was very strange.
It wasn't until they flew out that these people realized that their bodies had been beaten in two, and then they let out earth-shaking miserable cries, no matter how brave the warriors were.
But it was already too late. Even the Lanfang military doctor could not save such a serious injury. These brave warriors who were so heroic just now could only die slowly in mourning, and there was no other possibility.
Standing in Huang Li's position, what he saw was that the Malagasy people were falling down row by row like dominoes, and then the follow-up troops rushed up again and fell down again, and the cycle continued.
However, Huang Li definitely had no mercy at this time. If these Malagasy people were allowed to rush into the camp, Huang Li and the soldiers of the exploration team would not be spared. So it doesn't matter whether there is mercy or not. Either you die or I die, no
So much humanistic sentiment.
Huang Li couldn't care less about the sad spring and sad autumn. Seeing that the Malagasy people were speeding up, Huang Li was also actively responding: mortar preparation, three rapid fire rounds
The timing of deploying artillery on the battlefield must be accurate. Generally speaking, when the light machine gun has fired a drum, the mortar will conduct a sudden fire attack. This can effectively form a battlefield partition and reduce the pressure on the frontline troops.
The pressure can also give the secondary shooters time to quickly replace the drum and barrel.
The mortar unit of the exploration team has also been strengthened. In the ordinary Lanfang Army, each company has one machine gun platoon, equipped with six heavy machine guns and six 80mm mortars. The exploration team's joint mortars are still six.
However, the number of mortars equipped by the battalion's machine gun company has doubled to 18. Therefore, the exploration team is actually equipped with 36 mortars instead of the normal 27. Don't underestimate it.
These nine mortars can change the course of a battle at a critical moment.
Specifically for the side Huang Li was responsible for, the supporting firepower consisted of 18 mortars. These 18 mortars could throw 54 shells instantly, which was enough to form a battlefield partition on the front of Huang Li's side.
Compared with the chaos of machine gun fire, the explosion of artillery shells was much clearer. Groups of orange-red flames exploded, followed by not only smoke and shrapnel, but also countless stumps, broken arms and even entire human bodies.
, those human bodies were extremely distorted in the air, and then they were smashed to the ground like rag dolls, without any movement at all.
There is a popular saying in the army that veterans are afraid of machine guns and new recruits are afraid of artillery. This rule does not apply to the Malagasy people. They have no experience in fighting with hot weapons, so they do not understand how lethal hot weapons are. When the adrenal gland secretion accelerates, they enter a combat state to kill.
When their eyes are red, those Malagasy people will not pay attention to the casualties of their companions. They will just charge forward regardless of it like robots until the moment they are also hit.
In the madagascar's desperate attack, the battle became fierce almost from the first minute.
The firing frequency of all the machine guns of the exploration team was maintained at a very high level. Facing those Malagasy people who were not afraid of death, the shooters of the exploration team did not even have a chance to stop and take a breath.
Use the trigger in your hand to knock the enemy in front of you to the ground, and then continue to aim at the next target.
The Malagasy people are still smart. They have the keen intuition of hunters, and they will subconsciously adopt the combat method that is most beneficial to them. Faced with the heavy fire of machine guns, some Malagasy people soon adopted a snake-like route to avoid bullets. Some even used the terrain.
Gradually move forward and strive to get closer to the exploration team's bunker.
These people are actually the most dangerous. They must be killed first before they can continue to deal with other soldiers. If the shooters' energy is distracted by these elites, they will ignore the overall control.
So as the battle progressed, although the Malagasy people suffered heavy casualties, the front line kept moving forward, starting from about 600 meters at the beginning, to 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters or even 200 meters, getting closer and closer to the exploration team's bunker
The closer.
Mortar, 500 range, three rapid fire rounds. Huang Li's expression became more and more solemn. He now understood what Magnum meant about the Malagasy people's fearlessness of death.
In Huang Li's impression, there are many armies that can be described as being brave and not afraid of death. For example, in the World War, those British and French soldiers who bravely charged against machine guns and artillery can be described as being brave and not afraid of death.
, but Huang Li can be sure that there are not many Malagasy people who are as brave as he is.
Although the British and French are brave, they still have certain rules for fighting. When the commander finds that the progress is unfavorable, the commander will adopt smarter tactics, or increase the intensity of firepower strikes, or use night attacks, or detours
Wait for other means to change the unfavorable situation. In any case, even a butcher like Manjing will not care about the casualties of the troops and exchange the precious lives of soldiers for enemy bullets. This will almost certainly trigger a mutiny in the troops, even if it is
Even if you win the battle, you cannot escape post-war accountability.
As for the Malagasy people in front of them, they seemed not to know what death was. They had no fear at all, and no intention to adjust their tactics. They just rushed forward without any fear, as if they were endless, vowing to use people.
Naval tactics flooded the temporary camp of the exploration team.
Huang Li is not worried about the troops' fighting will, but he must consider the endurance of the weapon. Even a light machine gun with a replaceable barrel cannot withstand the intensity of continuous shooting.
Generally speaking, if you keep firing an automatic rifle for 300 rounds, the barrel will turn red. If you continue to fire, the barrel will be scrapped. Although the barrel of the light machine gun of the exploration team can be replaced to extend the service life, the handguard does not
It needs to be replaced. Under the condition of continuous mechanical movement, the bolt part will also heat up. If the gun oil is not cleaned out, the bolt may even smoke, which will increase the possibility of malfunction.
The battle has only just begun for half an hour. It can be clearly felt that the density of machine guns is much sparse, and there are even sporadic rifle shooting sounds. This is certainly due to the malfunction, and on the other hand, it is also due to the number of drums.
Can't keep up.
Although the Type 20 light machine gun has been greatly improved on the basis of the original Lewis machine gun and is much more advanced than the Lewis machine gun, it still has flaws, mainly in that it cannot fire ammunition belts.
At the beginning of the Type 20 light machine gun, Qin Zhiyuan proposed the idea of transplanting the Maxim heavy machine gun's ammunition supply device to the Type 20 light machine gun. However, after verification by Lanfang military industry experts, this idea was not realized in the end.
The reason why it cannot be realized is that on the one hand, using a bullet chain will increase the cost; on the other hand, the weight will increase too much, which will cause the light machine gun to be inconvenient to carry, which conflicts with the tactical use of the light machine gun.
A very important role of the so-called light machine gun is to accompany the infantry in action. Therefore, weight is a key factor to be considered in determining the specific model. Every additional kilogram of weight will add more than ten kilograms to the soldiers during actual use.
The heavy load is a nightmare for soldiers who originally have to carry thirty or forty kilograms.
Therefore, all things considered, the Type 20 light machine gun has not changed its original ammunition supply design, and still retains the top-mounted drum design of the Lewis machine gun.
But now it seems that this drum magazine supply is really terrible for the continuity of firepower. If it is fed by a bullet belt, the shooter does not need to consider the bullet problem at all, he only needs to grasp the rhythm of changing the barrel.
No problem, but when using a drum to supply ammunition, boxes of bullets must be pressed into the drum first, and then they can be supplied to the machine gun. Even though it is just an additional procedure, in actual combat, this is a very fatal
The problem.
Sure enough, in the face of the continuous attacks from the Malagasy people, this hidden danger was finally exposed.
Even though the artillerymen tried their best to fire shells, they were still unable to stop the Malagasy people from approaching. After a violent explosion of grenades, the Malagasy people flooded the outermost bunker.
Huang Li suddenly felt his heart throbbing in pain. He really should have asked the names of those young men and chatted with them more.
