200 meters, for a cavalry charging at full speed, it only takes ten seconds.
The time left for the Japanese army was only ten seconds, but within these ten seconds, they were enough to fire 30 machine gun shells and an unknown number of machine rifle bullets.
More than thirty cavalrymen fell on the charging road.
However, there were still 200 cavalrymen who attacked the Japanese position from a battlefield 300 meters wide.
Lu Sanjiang, who was in the lead, crossed the trench with his horse, and the saber in his hand mercilessly passed through the neck of a Japanese machine gunner. With the high speed and the strength of his arms, the sharp saber cut off most of the Japanese soldier's neck.
The whole head hung weirdly on the human body, and the blood in the neck cavity spurted out a dizzying blood flower under the afterglow of the flare.
But this was just the prelude to the death of the gunners of the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery regiment. Like the heavy artillery gunners, they were hardly equipped with any long guns. The Southern Type 14 pistol was their only weapon in close combat.
However, this small pistol with low power and easy jamming is difficult to deal with infantry, let alone high-speed moving cavalry.
The cavalrymen who went crazy because their comrades died in battle sometimes did not even use their swords. When faced with any human body in front of them, they would directly drive their war horses into collision. After increasing the speed, the kinetic energy of the hundreds of kilograms of war horses was comparable to that of a small car.
After being hit, all the muscles and bones were broken, and then being stepped on by a war horse. If he didn't die, he could only be possessed by Amaterasu.
As the commander, Gong Shaoxun did not participate in the killing of the Japanese machine artillery. He was looking for the machine gun that caused terrible damage to his cavalry unit, and thus saw the semi-finished machine gun being assembled by the Japanese army.
In an instant, I was covered in white sweat.
He knew that if he had hesitated just now, perhaps when the infantry came up, six terrifying machine guns would be waiting for them. By then, the number of people killed in the battle might be far greater than now.
At the cost of nearly fifty cavalry, we were really lucky to capture this anti-aircraft artillery position with only one-third of its strength.
Yes, the Chinese cavalry captured a heavy firepower point of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade at an acceptable cost, which was extremely lucky. But if it weren't for Gong Shaoxun's courage and determination to die on the battlefield, this kind of luck would not have happened.
It will never happen to Chinese soldiers.
The so-called luck will always favor those who work hard enough.
Compared to the fact that the cavalry sacrificed themselves for victory, it was easier for the infantry who followed the cavalry and attacked on both sides.
Si Xing Battalion, as the vanguard of the entire army, opened the way for the entire army to enter the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and was not idle.
As the supreme commander, Tang Dao needs to command the entire army and takes Erya and Xia Dayu to follow the operations of the guard battalion.
Lei Xiong led the Sixth Battalion and the 67th Army Guard Battalion to attack the left wing of the heavy artillery brigade, where there was also a heavy artillery position and a part of the Japanese infantry.
Hence, they also encountered resistance from the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery regiment.
But with the experience of cavalry encountering machine guns, Lei Xiong, who was well prepared, immediately ordered the entire army to lie down.
The cavalry can use their speed to minimize the damage of the machine guns, but the infantry cannot. They ran for two to three hundred meters, and the infantry did not know how many deaths they suffered.
“Tietou, it’s up to you, you’ll beat me to death!” Lei Xiong ordered angrily.
“Battalion Lieutenant, just wait and kill them immediately.”
Mortars are an essential piece of equipment for the Fourth Line Battalion. Three Type 82 mortars helped the Fourth Line Battalion eliminate an unknown number of Japanese firepower points. The three groups of mortars are also the precious resources that the Fourth Line Battalion best protects.
No matter how difficult the battlefield is, the infantrymen always stand in front of the mortars because they firmly believe that as long as there are mortars, the Japanese machine guns will be killed.
This time, the few gunners of the Four Lines Battalion also did not disappoint them.
Only this time, the gunners of the Fourth Battalion were more ferocious than their infantry brothers imagined.
They actually abandoned their beloved mortars and gathered in front of a 150-meter heavy artillery piece.
150 howitzers, the largest number of artillery pieces equipped by the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, totaled thirty, and exactly a dozen were within the attack range of the infantry.
The Japanese artillery around this 150-mm howitzer, which was located more than 400 meters on the flank of the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery wing, had fled long before the Chinese infantry attacked, and it was naturally captured by the infantry.
It’s just that this big thing weighing 3 tons is not a 75-caliber mountain cannon. Its shortest firing range is 1,000 meters. Are the gunners going to mess with this thing now?
The infantrymen who were lying on the ground waiting for their mortars to unleash their power were a little dumbfounded.
“Baga! Shoot, shoot those Chinese people to death.” A Japanese colonel on the position of the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery unit was roaring through gritted teeth.
As the captain of the 3rd Artillery Regiment of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, Komura Hisashi has never encountered such a battle situation.
A group of Chinese people actually took advantage of the darkness to break into the brigade position. Compared to the Chinese people's boldness, what was even more outrageous was the performance of their own people. The infantry outside the position didn't even last three minutes before the whole army collapsed.
This made the captain of the Colonel Corps scramble out of the field tent in a panic. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and was dragged by the guards to the position of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment.
That is also the safest area in the entire brigade position that the guards believe is currently there. After all, there are six anti-aircraft guns there.
Four of the six anti-aircraft guns have been assembled, and the infantry on the outer positions are also sending reinforcements here. At least four light machine guns and four grenades have been set up, and the number of troops has reached several hundred. All this has made Xiaocun
Shangzhi felt somewhat at ease.
No matter how strong the Chinese are, they will never be able to break through this position in a short period of time. At least their lives are saved.
People's desires are like this. If you get the same thing, you will want more.
The frightened Japanese artillery commander now hopes to kill those hateful Chinese, those Chinese who were suppressed by machine gun and machine gun fire.
As the highest-ranking soldier on this position, regardless of whether the soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment are under the jurisdiction of Komura Hisashi, he is now the supreme commander, and what he said is of course useful.
Machine guns, machine guns, grenades, and rifles were all firing desperately, and flares were flying into the sky crazily, hitting hundreds of people who were lying on the ground unable to lift their heads.
“Tietou, what are you doing, you idiot? If you don’t fire any more, I will withdraw you!” Battalion Commander Lei almost buried his face in the mud in order to avoid the bullets flying wildly above his head.
“Battle Lieutenant, if you withdraw me, I have to enjoy this thing first.” Cheng Tieshou’s voice came from afar. “Haha! Little devil, come and have a taste of this big guy!”
Shit, this guy seems to be driving, this was the thought that came to Gu Xishui's mind.
But in an instant, a loud bang wiped out his thoughts.
A 150mm howitzer with its muzzle lowered and fired flat fired.
No one would use a howitzer with a range of 10,000 meters as an infantry gun. This is almost equivalent to installing a bayonet on the howitzer.
But the Chinese artillerymen did just that. They used the winch to lower the muzzle to the lowest level and fired at the Japanese position more than 400 meters away.
The original scale scale is completely useless at this moment, that is an elevation angle that the 150mm howitzer has never had.
“Boom!” There was a loud noise.
How does it feel when an artillery shell weighing more than 20 kilograms explodes 20 meters in front of the Japanese position?
No one knew how the Japanese troops who had been blown away by the air waves felt, but the Chinese infantry more than 200 meters away from the Japanese position felt that the hot air waves were about to lift them off the ground.
Had they not already suspended their chests and abdomen from the ground, they were even sure that they would have been shocked and vomited blood by the crazy artillery shells.
The two machine guns that were firing desperately were completely misfired. The terrible air waves not only twisted the human body into strange shapes and flew more than ten meters, but also twisted the barrels into twists and flipped over in the trench.
And this is just on the edge of exploding artillery shells.
What will happen if it hits the position, no one knows.
“One more shot!” Cheng Tieshou’s roar changed slightly in the autumn wind.
Only this time, no one heard, and everyone's ears were temporarily deafened by the power of the cannon.
