Cheng Yuanshan led 300 officers and soldiers to make a mad dash.
Among the 300 officers and soldiers led by Cheng Yuanshan, except for 200 who were equipped with rifles, the other 100 were carrying flower traps and shell guns. The pouring bullets were like blossoming flowers of death among the Japanese troops who had not yet broken up and wanted to resist.
bloom.
In close combat with flower traps and shell guns with 20-round magazines, the inferiority of the 38-type large cover was undoubtedly obvious. All Japanese soldiers who dared to resist were killed on the way of the charge of the independent regiment officers and soldiers.
Wherever they passed, the Japanese army was like encountering rolling snow, and the ice melted away in an instant. The progress was smooth, far beyond Cheng Yuanshan's expectation. However, Cheng Yuanshan was not dazzled by the victory in front of him, and strictly ordered his officers and soldiers not to pursue or kill them.
The Japanese army collapsed.
The results of the independent regiment's usual armed cross-country training were undoubtedly evident at this moment. The heavily armed soldiers hardly stopped. It took only 4 minutes to advance 1,000 meters, and they had already reached a hundred meters away from the heavy artillery brigade position.
within!
Cheng Yuanshan's good luck ended here. The Japanese infantry squadron of the heavy artillery brigade had already set up defenses. Fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the Japanese position just a hundred meters away!
Cheng Yuanshan, who was running forward quickly, suddenly felt two strong winds flying past his ears. The violent air waves suddenly knocked him to the ground, and he was thrown to the ground. When he turned around to look, he only saw that
Seeing that the two soldiers following him had been beaten to a pulp, one soldier's head completely disappeared, and the right side of the other soldier's body was also missing.
Cheng Yuanshan's eyes suddenly became bloodshot. What the hell kind of machine gun is this? Is it so powerful? "
Boom boom..." On the front position, the Japanese army's terrible "machine guns" rang violently again, and the dozen or so soldiers rushing at the front fell down silently. Anyone who was hit by a bullet would not
The whole head is shattered, and there is a terrible big hole in the chest or abdomen. This kind of death is more than tragic?
"Lie down, everyone lie down!" Cheng Yuanshan suddenly roared at the top of his lungs. Although the Japs' heavy artillery position was already in front of them, they could not continue to charge forward.
As a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, Cheng Yuanshan immediately realized that this was no ordinary heavy machine gun. It was no less powerful than the Sulotong machine gun he had brought with him. If he did not kill this terrible machine gun first,
Not to mention that the Japanese machine gun cannot complete the mission assigned by the regiment, he and the three hundred men under his command will have to do it here!
The only two Suratung machine guns that could shoot against this machine gun were still 600 meters away. Soldiers carrying such heavy weapons could not have the speed of their lightly armed assault.
It wasn't until a minute later that the soldiers carrying the Type 60 light mortar in the rear fired a flare. With the rising flare, Cheng Yuanshan finally saw clearly. The caliber of the Japanese machine gun was much thicker than that of the ordinary Japanese machine gun.
It's also a machine gun, and the special one is actually a twin-mounted machine gun. What's even worse is that right next to this machine gun that fires violently, there are several more machine guns that are being nervously assembled.
Cheng Yuanshan didn't know that this was an anti-aircraft machine gun specially equipped by the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, mainly to deal with threats from the air. Since the Battle of Jehol, no Chinese aircraft had been seen at all. Since there were no aircraft to shoot
, with the little Japan's peeing from top to bottom like Grandet, it was natural to dismantle it and carefully preserve it. If they had known that their artillery would have to fight the infantry, six anti-aircraft cannons aimed at Cheng Yuanshan and the others and fired a round.
They can beat the elite of this independent group to half a pulp.
Fortunately, the little devil's biting personality saved Cheng Yuanshan. When they thought of using the anti-aircraft cannons carefully kept in the arsenal to deal with the Chinese, Cheng Yuanshan was already on the way to a high-speed advance. If Cheng Yuanshan had been slower for a few minutes,
, all six machine guns assembled, it is definitely a barrier that he cannot overcome.
To put it bluntly, these two companies of the Independent Regiment are absolutely dead, let alone completing the mission, there is no place to run.
"Fortunately, I brought a mortar." Cheng Yuanshan broke into a cold sweat.
If I had thought it was too much trouble not to bring those three mortars and thirty heavy and deadly artillery shells, I would have really lost my life today.
When the little devil saw that his machine gun had beaten the Chinese, he immediately became arrogant. The crooked machine gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun also roared with all their might, beating the soldiers of the independent regiment a hundred meters away and unable to raise their heads.
.
"All mortars, fire them for me." Cheng Yuanshan suddenly took off the helmet on his head, turned around and roared.
Three Type 60 mortars fired almost at the same time. The three test-fired shells directly overturned several Japanese soldiers, and the firepower spewing out from several firepower points was weak. This was also one of the weaknesses of the early Japanese infantry. They were too
It relies on its own artillery, so troops below the squadron level are not equipped with simple and practical small artillery such as mortars. Long-range firepower is mainly based on grenades. That thing is no problem against machine guns, but if it is used with mortars
Compared with the cannon, the power is much smaller.
It was not until the early 1930s that the Japanese Army headquarters realized the great role of light artillery in providing fire support to front-line troops, and began to gradually develop mortars. It was not until 1935 that it began to gradually equip troops, including the kind of "mortars" that people in the future Republic would be particularly familiar with.
The "Small Steel Cannon" - the Type 97 90MM mortar, had to wait until 1937 to enter the Japanese army's combat order.
In other words, during this period of the Japanese army, the grenade was already the most powerful long-range weapon for squadron-level combat units.
For example, the current infantry squadron is helpless when faced with Cheng Yuanshan's three mortars. The only long-range anti-aircraft machine gun weighs 100 kilograms, which is not something that can be moved away if you want.
The dozen or so heavy howitzers behind them, which can fire dozens of kilograms or even a hundred kilograms, all stared blankly.
This result is undoubtedly tragic. The mortar that fired three consecutive rounds finally found the target, and hit the target accurately with three consecutive rounds. The anti-aircraft cannon that was so arrogant just now was blown into pieces, and several shooters were even blown up.
Pork belly. Several groups of Japanese soldiers who were still desperately assembling machine guns screamed and hid in the trenches. Those who didn't run were the fools. It was obvious that the Chinese guns would be directed at them in the next moment.
Without waiting for Mortar to continue speaking, "Brothers, charge!" Cheng Yuanshan suddenly raised his head and roared in an extremely sad voice.
He knew very well that he could not cherish his life now, he had to seize time and blow up the heavy artillery before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, even if the lives of the three hundred of them were put on hold here.
Nearly a hundred submachine guns with twenty-round bursts are terrifying, even more terrifying than those MG42 machine guns, especially when these hundreds of No. 1 men rush forward without fear of death. Without the help of anti-aircraft machine guns,
The infantry squadron's more than 100 rifles, two heavy machine guns and five crooked guns turned out to be a weak group in terms of firepower.
This kind of almost bayonet shooting is also extremely cruel, because you have no way of knowing which bullet will take away your life. Soldiers from both sides of China and Japan use all their strength to pull the trigger and try their best to die on their own.
Before, shoot all the bullets in the gun chamber, even if there is only one bullet.
In the rain of bullets, nearly 300 people of the Independent Regiment fell, forty or fifty people were killed, but the Japanese army fell even more. If they did not lose in terms of courage, they lost in terms of the number of bullets.
The more than 200 remaining officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment suddenly swarmed onto the Japanese defensive position like a tide. Dozens of submachine guns fired randomly. The more than 100 Japanese soldiers on the defensive position suffered heavy casualties. Cheng Yuanshan did not care about chasing the Japanese.
The troops were defeated and shouted: "Brothers, the Japs' heavy artillery position is right in front of you, charge..."
However, war will never be performed according to anyone's subjective wishes.
