Through the field of view of the telescope, Xu Rui and Lao Laobing could clearly see every move of the Japanese.
Because the river had receded and the dock facilities were severely damaged, the little Japanese's transport ship ran aground when it was still a thousand meters away from the river bank. This forced the Japanese on board to wade into the water to grab the beach.
However, this is not a beach, but an inland river beach where silt accumulates.
In particular, the river beach with a width of more than a kilometer exposed on the waterline will be destined to become the grave of the Chongteng detachment.
"Old Xu, the Japs are seizing the beach." The veteran put down his binoculars and looked at Xu Rui with undisguised excitement in his eyes. Yes, at this moment, the veteran could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, even if there were mountains of piles on the dock just now.
All the technical equipment fell into his hands, and the veterans were not as excited as they are now.
Because only veterans know what will happen next
Even the more than forty machine gunners and ammunition handlers hiding in the heavy machine gun position not far behind them have not yet realized that history will be made in their hands.
The veteran said eagerly: "Old Xu, let's do it."
"No hurry, wait a moment." Xu Rui lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said calmly, "Wait a minute."
The veteran suppressed his heart that was about to burst out of his chest, turned his head again, raised his binoculars, and monitored the Japanese's movements.
The muddy river beach greatly restricted the movement of the Japs. The distance was less than a thousand meters, but it took the Japs a full ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the first batch of Japs finally approached less than a hundred meters from the river bank.
As the riverbed gradually hardened, the pace of the Japs gradually accelerated, and about a small group of Japs at the front had already begun to charge.
At this time, Xu Rui finally threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stamped it out.
Then, Xu Ran turned around and said to He Shuya behind him: "Nerd, send the signal."
He Shuya immediately ran to the mountain ridge and signaled at the heavy machine gun position on the platform behind the mountain.
Seeing the flag signaled by He Shuya, the twenty heavy machine gunners who had been waiting impatiently immediately pressed the button of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. In the next moment, twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns "pop" at the same time.
"Puff puff puff" roared, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at an angle of thirty degrees to the sky immediately spurted out balls of dazzling muzzle flames.
Since it was daytime, you could barely see the trajectory of the bullet as it flew through the air.
However, Xu Rui, the veterans, and Jiangnan, Cui Jiu, and others who were standing on the cliff watching the battle could still clearly hear the screams of the bullets as they flew over their heads. In an instant, almost everyone's heart changed.
Everyone has raised their eyebrows. Is it really possible to use the barrage of heavy machine guns to block fire?
Dividing line
Li Bian was more unlucky. When he was less than 500 meters away from the shore, he stepped into a mud pit. The dirty and smelly mud directly covered his waist. If it hadn't been for the reaction of his two fellow villagers,
Quickly, rush up and catch him. Li Bian might have been swallowed by this mud pit by now.
But even so, the two fellow villagers finally managed to pull Li Bian up after a lot of effort.
When Li Bian was pulled up from the mud pit by two of his fellow villagers, they found that they had fallen behind. The infantry team they were in was less than fifty meters away from the shore. When they were about to land, Li Bian
I couldn't help but curse, because as a rule, the first batch of soldiers to go ashore would receive military merit.
Military merit means rewards, and it also means promotion of military rank and status.
However, now, it seems that such a good thing has no chance for him, Li Bian.
However, the next moment, an overwhelming scream came from the river beach ahead.
Hearing this scream, the hairs on Li Bian's body stood up. He had already participated in the Battle of Songhu and was considered a veteran with combat experience, so he was no stranger to such sounds. This was when bullets were flying at high speed in the air.
The sound produced by friction with the air is a note of death.
"ah"
"Well"
"don't want"
"Help"
"Grandma"
"help me"
"Mother Mazu, save me"
The next moment, screams and wails rang out one after another on the river beach. Along with the incessant screams and wails, the Taiwanese soldiers who had just been struggling in the mud on the river beach fell one by one.
After falling down, especially the teams walking in front, suffered heavy casualties.
Li Bian was stunned for a moment. What was going on?
There was nothing on the shore, at least not within sight, so where did these bullets fly from? Could it be that the Empress Mazu really appeared and rained bullets from the sky? But why did the Empress Mazu help these damn Chinese?
Why doesn't she help Taiwanese people?
"Pfft!" Li Bian suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound.
Looking back quickly, Li Bian was horrified to see that one of the two fellow villagers who had just pulled him out of the mud pit had fallen into a pool of blood. He had been shot in the head because he was not wearing a helmet.
Almost half of his Tianling Cap was cut off, and dark red blood flowed all over the floor along with the white brain tissue.
In just a moment, this fellow countryman's face turned pale, that kind of deathly pale color.
When another fellow villager saw this extremely bloody scene, he immediately fell down on the river beach and retched.
However, the fellow countryman had just retched twice, and then he made two more popping sounds. Then he fell to the ground, and his limbs began to twitch violently. When Li Bian took a closer look, he discovered that this fellow countryman's back was actually
He had been shot several times, and within a moment, dark red blood stains oozed from his body.
The piercing scream of "咻咻咻" was still ringing.
Li Bian raised his head in confusion and turned his gaze to the hill about two kilometers away on the right.
Because he was looking up, and with the dark clouds in the sky as the background, Li Bian finally saw clearly. He saw clear ballistic trajectories roaring down from the sky on the right front. This guy was just like dense raindrops.
It's so dense. Li Bian has never seen such a dense barrage.
In just this moment, he didn't even know how many stray bullets passed by his ears.
Fortunately, none of the stray bullets hit her, and Mazu finally showed up.
Then Li Bian finally came to his senses, shouted, turned around and prepared to run in the direction he came from.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat." However, before Li Bian could take a step forward, a Japanese officer had already raised the saber in his hand, pointed the sharp tip at Li Bian, and said solemnly, "If you dare to retreat, you will die."
However, before he finished speaking, there was only a pop sound, and the head of the Japanese officer suddenly exploded.
Li Bian no longer cared about so much and ran away. However, the knee-deep mud seriously hindered his movement. Before he could run a few steps, Li Bian fell down on the river beach. He was so anxious that he fell down on the river beach.
After getting down, Li Bian didn't bother to get up, and immediately started crawling with all his strength like a four-legged snake.
Not to mention, it climbs really fast.

The sudden barrage coverage immediately stunned the Taiwanese soldiers who rushed to land on the beach, and also stunned Shigeto Chiaki who was standing on the hill on the south bank to watch the battle.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Shigeto Chiaki held up the telescope, but his hands couldn't help but began to tremble slightly. Through the field of view of the telescope, he could clearly see the fallen Taiwanese soldiers who had rushed to the river beach.
The tragic scene, and the blood stains oozing from their bodies, were also so dazzling.
"Impossible, impossible, this is impossible." Oda Nobuyoshi, who was standing next to Shigeto Chiaki, was also dumbfounded.
I didn't see the squadron's machine gun position, and there was no squadron at all on the riverside. Where did this dense barrage come from? What on earth is going on? Oda Nobuyoshi just wanted to put on his wings and fly to the north bank to take a closer look.
What is going on is completely beyond his cognition.
"This is impossible, damn the Chinese people, can they still do sorcery?"
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could the Chinese have so many machine guns?"
"This is impossible, this is completely impossible, this is not logical at all."
Amidst Oda Nobuyoshi's roars one after another, Chiaki Shigeto seemed to understand.
After all, Oda Nobuyoshi still had little knowledge, but Shigeto Chiaki suddenly remembered the battle of the Somme, a meat grinder during World War I.
In an instant, Shigeto Chiaki understood everything.
"Bagagaru" Shigeto Chiaki gritted his teeth and said, "Barrage coverage, this is barrage coverage."
"Barrage coverage," Oda Nobuyoshi said blankly, "Your Excellency, Commander, what is barrage coverage? What are you talking about?"
Shigeto Chiaki's facial muscles twitched violently twice, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm talking about the China Army. Their heavy machine gun position is located on the mud hill opposite, and they are heavily covering the barrage of our crossing troops seizing the beach.
Machine guns are not only lethal through direct fire, they also have terrifying lethality by using curved trajectories to cover the barrage."
"Current ballistics" Oda Nobuyoshi's eyes suddenly turned to the mud mountains on the north shore, "barrage coverage"
"Navy" Oda Nobuyoshi was stunned for a while and finally reacted, shouting, "Your Excellency, Commander, quickly request the Navy's tactical guidance and request the Navy's gun group to cover the mud hill with artillery fire and destroy the heavy machine gun positions of the China Army, otherwise
, our troops who are rushing to land on the beach will suffer heavy casualties."
This damn river beach, this damn mud, will kill the entire Taiwan Infantry Regiment.
"It's useless, it's useless." Shigeto Chiaki shook his head and said miserably, "The Chinese army very cunningly built the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope of the mud mountain. The navy's naval guns cannot hit the reverse slope at all, unless called
Aviation support, but unfortunately, due to bad weather, the aviation was unable to take off at all."
