Chapter 1163 Nightmare (Part 1, ask for a monthly ticket)
Seto Yamashita's head hurt, not because he saw 60 people from four squads on the front line being smashed and bleeding, and many of them had nothing but bleeding, but because he was wearing a steel helmet.
He was also hit by a big lump of earth.
If what hit him was not a lump of earth, but a blue brick, Seto Yamashita knew that the top of his head was almost smashed into a panoramic skylight roof, and he might never have the chance to see the miserable condition of his soldiers again.
That might be a little happier.
The potential energy of tens of tons of bricks flying to a height of more than ten or even tens of meters to fall is no less than that of dozens of mountain artillery shells falling on the position. At least 70% of the houses were damaged by the terrible rain of rocks.
It was destroyed, even the roof was smashed into a sieve, how could the people hiding inside be spared?
Those who were able to cry out were those who were hit on their arms and legs but not on their heads. Those who were hit on their heads basically went to their Amaterasu to drink tea, chat and play mahjong.
It's just that there are a lot of cards coming at once, and Amaterasu is probably too busy to take care of them.
However, the Japanese soldiers whose arms and legs were smashed were actually more miserable than their companions who were directly smashed to death. The fresh stubble of bones that were smashed out made the Japanese soldiers' miserable screams heard for miles. In fact, the bones have no pain nerves, even if
The arm was broken, and the pain was not as painful as expected at that moment. However, not many tough guys could watch their bones being exposed to the air and still remain calm, at least not the Japanese soldiers.
Moreover, the Japanese army's nightmare is not over yet.
Thirty seconds after the explosion, Second Lieutenant Seto, who was stunned by the big lump of earth and still scolding the vicious Chinese people, heard another muffled "bang bang bang" sound that made his liver and gallbladder split.
When the battle line was raised to the artillery battalion, which was only 800 meters away from the battlefield, the shells fired from the twelve mortars were slower than the speed of sound. The next second Lieutenant Seto heard the sound of the mortars coming out, there was a burst of "
"Boom, boom, boom" was the loud sound of continuous explosions of artillery shells.
"It's over!" This was the last thought that was lingering in Second Lieutenant Seto's mind as he stood stunned in the team headquarters.
The Chinese are much more vicious than he thought. Not only did they throw a lot of bricks and stones at them, they were immediately covered by artillery fire. Under such a blow, how many people can survive?
Hiding by the relatively strong window of the headquarters, I looked at my own position, especially the first-line position, from the left wing to the front and then to the right wing. The shelling was completely in a barrage style and was blowing up one house after another.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the first round of stone attacks crawled out, and then were swept away by the shock wave of the shells, or fell to the ground while running and never got up again.
The shrapnel flying everywhere and the masonry and tiles exploded by the shells are even more deadly weapons. If you touch them, you will die.
Twelve 82 guns, each round contains twelve rounds. One round is fired every three seconds. It can fire 20 rounds and 240 rounds in one minute. Of course, the muzzle may need to be adjusted according to the instructions. In fact, it can fire every minute.
About 100 rounds, but the fire coverage required by Zhou Shiyu is five minutes.
The data reported by the three artillery observers at the front showed that the twelve 82-guns could basically dump all the artillery shells onto the Japanese positions, and few of them fell into other civilian houses.
The heavy machine gun firepower point that relied on its protection from at least two layers of sandbags and solid wood steel plates to fire unscrupulously from the beginning was not unlucky because there were at least two mortars aimed at its direction.
In fact, the city wall was in bad luck ever since it was blasted in a targeted manner.
The heavy machine gun firepower point is actually quite far away from the city wall, at least more than 80 meters. In terms of distance, the Chinese grenades will never be able to hit it.
But no one knew that the grenades could not be thrown, but the stones could actually fly. A nest of at least two to three tons of masonry that should belong to the same section of the city wall was estimated to be exactly the energy of the 50 kilograms of explosives directly below it, and they were forced to fly.
It was pushed to a height of more than 20 meters and then ran wildly in the sky for more than 70 meters before falling.
Unfortunately, this heavy machine gun firepower point happened to be within its range.
Others still have a roof as a buffer, but they build it openly on the roof platform.
Only they serve as a buffer for the roof.
Therefore, when more than ten kilograms, several kilograms, and dozens of kilograms of masonry fell down like this, the surroundings were well protected except for the four Japanese soldiers who were in the heavy machine gun fire point of the real "panoramic sunroof"
Looking at the black falling bricks and stones was very despairing.
"Boom!" It was the muffled sound of bricks hitting the roof.
"Bang!" That was the sound of bricks hitting the sandbag fortifications.
"Bang! Click! Ah!" Those were the three words of bricks and stones hitting the desperate Japanese machine gunner's body.
"Bang" means hitting the forehead, and "click" means hitting the bones. The sound of the bones breaking is clear and audible.
"Ah!" No matter how strong a soldier is, he will scream in agony when he is about to be beaten to death!
It can be said that before the mortar bombs came here, a few unlucky guys were stoned to death.
Can
The Chinese man's blow was considered a heart-wrenching punch, and it was so hard that he was knocked out of breath for a long time.
But the artillery observers didn't know! They only knew that the heavy machine gun fire point that posed the greatest threat to the infantry was still there. So two mortars were specially deployed to blow up this heavy machine gun fire point, which was like a bunker.
More than a dozen shells exploded around the firepower point in a row, causing the lucky Japanese soldiers around them to turn pale. Without this heavy machine gun, what else could they use to fight against the Chinese machine guns? It has to be said that the Japanese army still spent a lot of money on the construction of the firepower point.
Some thought was put into it, including sandbags, wood and steel plates. The mortar shells that did not hit directly caused bricks and stones to fly around, but they did not collapse the bunker.
However, the bunker did not collapse, but the house could no longer hold up. With the explosion of another artillery shell, in the desperate eyes of the Japanese army, the relatively solid house collapsed, and the solid machine gun bunker was also buried in it.
, together with the precious 92 heavy machine gun and the four-man machine gun team.
In terms of numbers, the 20th Heavy Regiment has more than 3,400 people, which is comparable to an infantry regiment. But in terms of equipment, the heavy equipment Harada Shinichi can mobilize is not even as good as an infantry brigade. For example, this heavy machine gun, an infantry brigade has
A heavy machine gun squadron has 12 92 heavy machine guns, and the baggage regiment is also known as a heavy machine gun squadron, but it only has 6.
The entire 20th Baggage Regiment only has 6 heavy machine guns, one is allocated to each of the four city gates, two are left at the train station, and the wing headquarters only has one light machine gun and no heavy machine guns.
Stay behind.
The tragedy is not only the heavy machine guns. One infantry squadron of the Japanese army has three infantry squads of more than fifty people. When it comes to the baggage squadron, a baggage squadron has more than 500 people, but it is also divided into three baggage squads. Each squadron
There are more than 160 people, but the machine guns and grenade launchers, the first-line artifact of the Japanese infantry, are still given to the 50-man infantry squad, with two light machine guns and two grenade launchers per squad.
The stingy top brass of the Japanese Army Ministry had long been scolded by Shinichi Harada in his heart. He spent the whole afternoon worrying about the insufficient firepower deployment. In the end, he was forced to reduce the firepower equipment of his wing headquarters to
At the lowest level, priority is given to external defense.
Otherwise, Chen Yunfa and the others would not have captured the 20th Baggage Regiment Headquarters so quickly, because the Baggage Regiment had too few discounted heavy weapons and equipment.
Some people may ask, is it possible that Harada Shinichi is a fool? There are machine guns and rifles in the armory, but he doesn’t know how to use them? You must know that the Japanese army’s material reserves in the early stages of the war were very sufficient, and the firearms and ammunition reserves were all based on 0.5
The ratio is given to reserves.
Because guns can break, even if they don't get bombed, it doesn't mean that the gun is a magical weapon that can be fired for thousands of rounds without malfunction. There are dozens of spare heavy machine guns in the armory just for the front line.
However, if you don't use these supplies without the order of the division commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo, you will lose your head. Your baggage regiment is responsible for transporting them, but if you use them, then the frontline commander reports
When replenishing firearms after battle damage, what do you, the division commander, give them? Do you give them chrysanthemums?
Unless it was absolutely necessary, let alone Harada Shinichi not thinking of using the reserve of ordnance, even if he did, Kawagishi Bunzaburo would nod. Just like in the afternoon, although he was worried about the safety of Jingxing County, Harada Shinichi did not really think that the Chinese would have the courage.
Come to Jingxing County.
You must know that there are two brigades of Japanese field troops with tens of thousands of people within dozens of miles around Jingxing County. How much courage does it take to attack Jingxing County?
Unfortunately, the Chinese were much more courageous than Harada Shinichi imagined. Not only did they come to fight, but they also half-surrounded them and tried to devour them. By the time he tried to get the weapons, it was already too late.
Even though he had gone to great lengths to organize five to six hundred stretcher bearers to reinforce Dongcheng and the train station.
The stretcher-bearers and the strong men of the Chinese army who have only received basic military training are not much better. Let them go, not so much to fight, but to wave the flag and cheer for the transport soldiers who are slightly stronger than them.
