Chapter 1251 The real battle has just begun (Part 2) (please ask for the moon at the beginning of the month)
The 7mm heavy machine guns located 500 meters away were still adjusting their muzzle aiming, and the three Type 94 tanks had already taken the lead.
Moreover, they did not retreat, but moved forward, leading the Japanese infantry behind the car who had been beaten until their faces turned pale.
Six 7mm heavy machine guns fired wildly forward. The terrifying heavy machine gun bullets hit the stone and emitted frightening sparks. When they hit the human body, it was like a big hole.
The Chinese blocking positions are only temporary, mostly made of stones and wood bunkers. You can say that they can block rifles and light machine guns. When encountering such heavy machine guns, their protective capabilities cannot be said to be absent, but in fact they are not much.
.
Especially for light machine guns and MG34 heavy machine guns, the shooter needs to raise his body and protrude at least tens of centimeters from the ground.
At that moment, even the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment had to choose to lower their bodies to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
"The Japanese soldiers of the 5th Division are really tough! How dare you charge after being beaten into such a state?" Qin Ruoyu, who was lying in the grass, secretly smacked his tongue.
Since the beginning of the war, Qin Ruoyu has fought against the 11th Division of the Japanese 9th Division on the battlefield, and even fought a bloody battle with the 108th Division three months ago. He still has enough understanding of the Japanese army's combat power, but looking at the opponent
Even though the Japanese infantry suffered such heavy casualties, they still chose the "lighting lanterns to find the toilet" style of attack. They were still shocked.
The "Kang Army" in the Japanese Army really deserves its reputation!
But the startled Qin Ruoyu's eyes flickered not with fear, but with joy.
This kind of behavior of the Japanese army is not a sure sign of death!
In order to avoid the range of Japanese infantry grenade launchers, his two 7mm Browning heavy machine guns were placed more than 300 meters behind the entire infantry position, more than 500 meters away from the wave of Japanese troops.
The distance of more than 1 mile ensures a certain degree of safety, but the machine gun shooter is not a sniper. How can he easily hit the already very petite Type 94 tank from more than 500 meters away? It mainly relies on firepower.
Zanshe seeks a probability.
As a result, the Japanese themselves took the initiative to close the distance and sent them to their doorstep to be beaten. Not only could they be killed more easily, but they could also save ammunition. Why not?
"Pass my order, don't fire for now, let the bully be arrogant for a while, wait until 400 meters away before firing!" Qin Ruoyu, the artillery company commander, made a prompt decision.
The Japanese army's courage, which is close to facing death, seems quite strong, but in fact! Qin Ruoyu really thinks too highly of these Japanese troops, especially the armored soldiers in the three Type 94 tanks.
Although they were protected by steel plates, even the MG34 machine gun bullets could not penetrate them, but for a few days I felt panicked.
One of them is that the machine gun is almost out of bullets;
The second was the deafening explosion of artillery shells that lasted for several minutes;
The third is seeing one's own heavy casualties from the observation hole;
When the dust cleared, they could see clearly the dozens of terrifying firepower points of the Chinese directly in front of them, which was what they were most afraid of.
Those who can become technical troops are all smart enough. The tank soldiers know very well that under such a fierce fire attack, the remaining infantry behind them will be finished sooner or later.
Once the infantry are finished, their doom will come.
Waiting for the main force behind the canyon? Haha, the straight-line distance is several miles, and we have to cross mountains and ridges. By the time they come over, their bodies will probably be hardened!
As for the one inside the canyon, it is even more unthinkable. With such an explosion, who can find a living person who can take his last name?
As soon as the infantry are finished, the Chinese will surround them from all directions, and they can blow the "iron coffin" they are sitting in into ashes with just grenades, without using any explosives.
You must not run in the canyon. Don't look at it as an escape route. If the Chinese above drop a few explosives, it will be a dead end.
The only way to survive is to move forward, carry the Chinese bullets while the machine guns still have bullets, follow the mountain road not far away from this ghost place, and then find an opportunity to jump out of the car and escape.
Therefore, the Xiaoduding tank soldiers made what they thought was the wisest choice and waved the remaining infantry forward through the gap in the rear door of the vehicle.
The Japanese infantry were also helpless, but the tanks that protected them from the rain of bullets were about to leave. What else could they do as infantrymen who relied on tanks to survive? If they didn't follow, they would soon be beaten into pieces.
Therefore, a bunch of desperate little people gave Qin Ruoyu the illusion that 'I am just so strong'.
But the Japanese army didn't know that the closer they got to the Chinese mountain positions, the closer they were to death.
As the Japanese army's three Little Dougins advanced, a new round of firepower coverage began on the Chinese position. The first to launch the attack were four MG34s.
The four firepower points were aimed at the front and sides of the Type 94 tank. The clanking sound when hitting the steel plate was endless, just like the piano music played by the god of death, not to mention scaring the Japanese infantry behind the tank to the point of peeing.
After they came out, even the armored soldiers in the car couldn't help but tighten their legs.
The 94 light tank has one observation hole in the front of the vehicle, and one on the side and one at the rear. However, it is not the observation hole with various high-tech technologies like that on future tanks, but a purely physical hole.
.
Under this intensity of firepower, who dares to put their eyes on the hole and look out? That's not to take the initiative to kill someone!
Today's Japanese tanks are basically half-blind, and they move forward based on their ambition to survive.
However, this does not prevent the two 7mm heavy machine guns from firing back at the Chinese heavy machine gun fire points. Regardless of whether they are accurate or not, the main point is that as long as enough bullets are fired, there is a chance to kill the opponent.
The torrent of metal with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per second hit the dust on the ground and formed an 'earth dragon' visible to the naked eye, which was drawn towards a heavy machine gun placed between two large rocks of 100 kilograms.
The Japanese infantrymen who saw this scene even shouted "onboard" with excitement at that moment.
As long as they can kill the opponent's heavy machine gun with a terrifying rate of fire, their probability of survival will increase by at least 20 percentage points.
The next moment, the 'Tulong' lived up to the expectations of the Japanese infantry and drew fire on the heavy machine gun, sparks flying instantly.
"Onboard!" the sound echoed throughout the mountains and fields, even overpowering the roars of heavy machine guns on both sides.
Then, a bright bullet flower bloomed in the smoke and dust, and a shuttle of bullets swept over, once again sending sparks flying into the Type 94 armored vehicle. Several crazy ricocheting bullets even crashed into the infantry team behind the tank.
Three Japanese soldiers fell down screaming.
Japanese infantry?
Invulnerable? This is because of the legendary Iron Shirt!
That's because they didn't see that all the heavy machine guns on the distant position had a steel shield erected at the bolt position!
This was Qin Ruoyu's suggestion after the Qingshiyan War. Except for the Suluotong machine gun in the Four Lines Regiment, which had its own steel plate shield, the other heavy machine guns did not have this thing. However, in actual combat, the heavy machine gun's firepower was the Japanese attack.
the key of.
Whether it is grenades, light and heavy machine guns, or even infantry precision shooting, it can cause damage to heavy machine gun shooters.
During the Battle of Qingshiyan, Qin Ruoyu's artillery company replaced three batches of heavy machine gun shooters. This not only resulted in the loss of personnel, but more importantly, the loss of experienced machine gun shooters, which would also lead to the weakening of one's own suppressive firepower.
However, an ordinary 6mm steel plate shield weighs 10 kilograms, and a heavy machine gun squad needs to carry two. This undoubtedly greatly increases the load of the machine gun squad. If you have the strength, it is better to carry more bullets and reduce the weight of steel plates.
If it is too thin, it will not be able to stop heavy machine gun bullets.
It must be Grunov, a talented engineer in metal materials. The man who is developing the MG42 machine gun is undoubtedly equipped with a steel with manganese added. The hardness of this steel named manganese steel by Gong Shaoxun is that of ordinary steel.
2 times.
However, the 3~4 mm thick steel plate can even allow the MG34 machine gun to fire at a distance of more than 200 meters without being penetrated. For the same area, the manganese steel shield weighs less than 5 kilograms.
Therefore, Dakouzidong Military Factory, which obtained the steel formula, provided matching manganese steel shields for all heavy machine guns and machine guns.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing was still a bit heavy, Tang Tuanzuo, who was thousands of miles away, even had the intention to tie one to the chest of every infantryman.
To put it bluntly, in terms of frontal protection alone, today's MG34 machine gun shooters are not necessarily weaker than the Japanese armored soldiers in the Type 94 tank. A dozen 7mm caliber bullets fell on the steel plate, leaving only shocking grooves but no
Being penetrated is proof.
At present, neither side can kill the other, but it just satisfies the dream of the Japanese army. They don't have much idea about how many Chinese people they want to kill. Their only wish is to escape from this damn battlefield as soon as possible.
Suddenly, several clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded on the side of a Type 94 tank.
A stone half a man's height was hit, and the flying stones even hit two Japanese soldiers who were five or six meters away from the stone until they were covered in blood.
The Japanese infantrymen were horrified. Previously they were lying on the ground and being beaten because of the smoke and dust. They were not very familiar with such powerful firearms. Now they saw with their own eyes that stones half as tall as a man were being blown apart. If this hit a person,
Still okay?
Then, before they could make a choice between continuing to move forward or lying on the ground, the calibrated 7mm heavy machine gun fired again. This time, it happened to hit the 94 tank from the side, hunched over and hiding behind it.
Japanese troop formation.
The Browning 7mm heavy machine gun is not as powerful as the 20mm machine gun, but its rate of fire is several times higher, reaching a rate of fire of 450 to 550 rounds per minute. This is also an important reason why it has been in service until the beginning of the 21st century.
One of the factors.
In just a few seconds, the Browning heavy machine gun, which was personally controlled by a sergeant squad leader, spit out 30 rounds of bullets, forming a sweeping whip.
But because it was not precise enough, it missed the Type 94 tank, but it just happened to sweep through the Japanese infantry formation.
If it hits the arm, it will be blown away and broken in an instant; if it hits the body, the body will be a hole the size of a bowl with bloody flesh and blood. The kinetic energy of the warhead is not enough to tumble and stir in the human body, penetrating the muscles and bones, and even penetrate the body.
Enter the second human body until power is completely lost.
Clouds of blood mist rose in the ranks of the Japanese troops!
From the perspective of the soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment, who were less than 200 meters away from them, they could not see the figures of the Japanese infantry who were blocked by the tanks. However, at this time, they could clearly see the tanks.
Then, several large blood-red flowers suddenly sprouted.
Everyone knows what that thing is!
The 7mm heavy machine gun, which has been rarely used, turned out to be so terrifying in actual combat, and many soldiers of the Fourth Army could not help but feel chills in their vests!
This tragic scene caused the people who were beaten and the "melon-eating people" in the distance to be frightened.
But in fact, there are even closer ‘blood-drinking friends’!
A Japanese armored soldier, Captain Cao, happened to open the tailgate of his vehicle, hoping that the infantry at the rear could help them observe the situation ahead. As a result, a 7mm caliber bullet hit a Japanese infantry second lieutenant in the neck just 5 meters in front of him.
.
The arteries and cervical vertebrae were completely broken, and the whole head was hanging weirdly on the back of the human body that had not yet fallen to the ground with a bit of skin. This Japanese veteran had also seen all kinds of horrible postures after being bombed by artillery shells on the battlefield.
But when the body fell forward, the completely broken carotid artery was like a water spout that was turned on. It sprayed out more than 1 meter under the huge pressure of the chest, just in time to splash all the blood on his face and body.
This kind of thing has never happened to Japanese veterans.
He was stunned for two or three seconds. During this period, the armored sergeant instinctively wiped his face with his hands. The fishy taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. Then the Japanese sergeant yelled "Back up!"
He suddenly closed the tailgate that was open a crack.
The infantrymen who reacted almost the same way as him said, "Get down!" The surviving Japanese infantrymen showed sufficiently good individual qualities.
Their lying posture is not only standard but also extremely fast!
But sometimes! Too fast is not necessarily a good thing.
Letting the bullets fly for a while is not an option.
"The Chinese have machine guns!" This was the only answer given by the Japanese sergeant whose head was covered with blood.
Not a machine gun, what kind of firearm can cause such harm to the human body?
The Oerlikon 20mm cannon and the 37mm anti-tank gun were the only weapons that the Fifth Division encountered on the North China battlefield that could pose a threat to their tank brigade!
The Japanese sergeant and his two subordinates had witnessed with their own eyes the tragic situation of their colleagues' tanks after being hit by these two types of artillery. Both the man and the vehicle were shaken!
The superior soldier driver was also a ruthless man. He turned around and saw his sergeant's intimidating appearance and the panicked roar. He immediately put the reverse gear on and kicked the accelerator to the bottom without hesitation.
The Type 94 tank's engine roared loudly and spit out thick black smoke. Before the infantrymen at the rear could recover, they crashed backwards.
"Dong dong dong! Bang bang bang!" Several consecutive strange muffled sounds became the main theme in this small radius of tens of meters.
'Boom!' That's when the human body was unfortunately hit by the 94 Little Doudin who was reversing crazily. Although the speed has not increased to very fast, the person who was hit has basically no ability to move. On such a battlefield, waiting
Their end must be death.
‘Peng!’ is when the tracks run over some people on the ground who have no time to escape, whether they are dead or alive.
When a watermelon is crushed, it will make a similar sound!
When the Chinese 7mm heavy machine gun swept through, it only killed five or six Japanese soldiers. No matter how tragic the scene was, the basic human shape was still there.
But when the Type 94 tank reversed frantically for a few seconds, it almost cleared the area. At least ten Japanese infantry who failed to react were knocked away or crushed under the tracks.
Wherever the tank passed, except for some red, yellow, and white things, there was nothing human or human. The blood spurted out a full seven or eight meters along the track of the tank, forming a blood-curdling line.
The road of flesh and blood!
"Yellow is blood, white is meat, and yellow is fat. Don't mention it, the little devils in the Fifth Division are quite fat!" It happened that there were veterans at this time to educate the new recruits.
"Ouch!" A recruit lay on the simple fortification and vomited crazily.
"You idiot, what kind of mental quality do you have! Isn't this going to work?" The veteran, who had reached the rank of sergeant, twisted his mouth and endured the nausea rising in his stomach.
Even this Sichuan veteran who fought in the Mouse Mountain Blockade couldn't bear this scene.
In fact, from a certain point of view, the Japanese sergeant's choice of "reversing" was not wrong. He quickly opened the distance, maintained maneuverability, and used the thickest steel plate of the tank to face the powerful firearms on the opposite side. The survival probability of the Type 94 tank was
It's much bigger than forward, left, and right.
However, they still rushed too close, and after continuous firing calibration, the two 7mm heavy machine guns finally found their sights.
The Type 94 tank, which had no regard for the life and death of its colleagues, ran in reverse for more than 40 meters before it was finally bitten by two 7mm heavy machine guns that set fire crosswise.
More than a dozen clearly visible large holes suddenly appeared in the front steel plate of the Type 94 tank. Thick smoke rose from all sides of the tank. This was caused by the high temperature caused by the metal bullet flow penetrating the steel plate and causing combustion inside the tank.
Perhaps because of inertia, or perhaps because the Japanese armored driver who was killed still had some obsession with escaping, the tank finally ran back for more than 20 meters before coming to a halt.
On the other hand, the two 94 tanks that were unaware of the situation were completely unaware of the situation when their sight was blocked. They were still moving forward and trying their best to exchange fire with the Chinese firepower points, and they were still trying their best to cover the infantry who could provide auxiliary services to them.
Even at the moment they were killed, they didn't know that the cute infantrymen following them had already spread out on their knees, hiding behind ditches, ridges, or rocks.
Even if he was killed by bullets, he would still be alive and well. He must not be crushed to pieces by the "Mainland Armored Soldiers" like his colleagues! This was already the firmest belief in the hearts of the Japanese infantrymen who had witnessed that scene.
But with the destruction of the three tanks and the loss of their last heavy firepower, the dozens of Japanese infantry still remaining in various places on the battlefield had basically eaten arsenic and hanged themselves - they were dead!
In the mountain forest about 4,500 meters away from the battlefield, the young people in the mountain village looked at the middle-aged infantry company commander with almost admiration and listened to his order: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"
