Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1037 The initiative lies with the enemy?
The Japanese army had a lot of experience. From the sound of the gunshots and the trajectory of the bullets, they analyzed that this should be a German-made submachine gun and a bolt-action single-shot rifle commonly used by Chinese soldiers.

More importantly, the Japanese army judged that there would not be many defenders on the high ground on the top of the mountain, at least not as much as the green smoke rising everywhere on the high ground.

It can only be said that the Chinese are so suspicious.

For soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, this is a sign of guilty conscience.

Although it may be a trap by the Chinese, the desperate situation of not entering or dying made the Japanese commanders and infantry choose the former.

The Japanese infantry attacked very resolutely, with 8 people on one side and 16 people on the other side, approaching the hilltop positions in two directions.

Through the shooting hole, the old abacus who observed the movement of the Japanese army had an extremely bitter expression on his face.

I don't know what kind of big man is being carried on the stretcher. These three Japanese squads are all reinforced squads, and the light machine guns and grenades equipped are not the two light machine guns and two guns that a squad should have. Instead of a grenadier, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun and a grenadier.

Except for the grenadier of the vanguard squad who walked in the front, who hid, several people in the two rear squads also hid, even hiding behind the light machine guns.

Although they didn't see the grenades on their backs clearly, for veterans like Lao Abacus who had dealt with the Japanese army countless times, this tactical behavior meant that they had long-range attack firepower.

To be honest, if there is no grenadier, even if there are more than 40 Japanese soldiers, the three of Lao Abacus have a semi-automatic rifle, a sniper rifle and a submachine gun with enough bullets. They are a very complete firepower team. Relying on the fortifications and the advantage of having a condescending terrain, it is completely possible to suppress more than 40 Japanese infantry in the valley without advancing an inch.

Even, as long as there is enough time, the three of them can shoot and kill the Japanese troops who don't have many bunkers in the valley one by one.

However, when the Japanese army had grenadiers, even up to three, everything became different.

For the three Chinese soldiers, any time they fired a shot, they had to find a new battle position, otherwise, the grenades fired by the Japanese grenadiers would tear them to pieces.

Sandbags and stones may be able to block rifle and light machine gun bullets, but they cannot stop grenades thrown from high altitude by grenades similar to small mortars.

That is to say, although the three light machine guns set up by the Japanese army were doing burst fire reconnaissance at various positions on the top of the mountain, it was very lively, but what made the three Chinese soldiers most scrupulous was hiding behind a rock and waiting to open fire on the high ground. The Japanese grenade shooter who found the opponent's approximate location.

"Squad leader, if you and Tudou are moved, leave it to me." Yang Bicheng's steady voice came from the other end.

"Okay, Tudou, do you hear me, shoot the devil I'm aiming at. Everyone be careful, at most five shots, I'll change the nest for me." Old Abacus roared loudly.

Although the Japanese soldiers had short legs, they attacked very quickly under pressure. While talking, they were no more than 50 meters away from the foot of the mountain, and the straight-line distance from the top of the mountain would not exceed 120 meters at most. clearly visible in.

The semi-automatic rifle in Tudou's hand was the first to speak, "Bang! Bang! Bang!." Almost without a pause, he pulled the trigger continuously and fired five bullets, knocking down the two devils who rushed to the front.

At the same time, Lao Abacus's submachine gun also started to fire, facing the Japanese light machine gun that had found the target and turned the muzzle to fire, and swept the 16 rounds in the long magazine full of 32 Japanese soldiers in one go. Regardless of the results of his battle, Lao Suan dragged the gun with one hand and quickly turned over and rolled away from his battle position, and then crawled to a depression ten meters away.

The experience of dozens of battlefields saved his life.

Before the army sergeant put his head in his hands to avoid the possible ensuing grenade explosion, a grenade exploded at a distance of only six or seven meters from the sandbag, which was no less powerful than a hand grenade. It fell overwhelmingly on the old abacus.

If this amount of damage is nothing to the soldiers on the battlefield, then the four consecutive grenades flying over represent the determination and ability of the Japanese army to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

The previous one was at best a test projectile, but the accuracy with an error of no more than six meters was enough to make any opponent shudder.

The next four grenades even estimated the possibility of the opponent leaving the battle position, except for two that exploded in an area less than two meters from the original position where the old abacus stayed, and the other two extended three meters to the left and right sides respectively. It is only four meters away from where the old abacus is now.

That is to say, the old abacus was lying low enough, otherwise, even if it was not blown away by the air wave generated by the grenade explosion, it would be blown into a blood gourd by the broken shrapnel.

The Japanese grenadier has the title of the most hated arm of the Chinese army's machine gunner, and it really is not covered.

There were three groups of grenadiers in the Japanese army, and Tudou was also attacked by grenades, but because he was a single-shot rifle, he only encountered two grenade bombardments.

Obviously, the Japanese army was extremely scrupulous about Lao Abacus's ferocious submachine gun, and used at least two grenadiers to take care of it, and even fired five grenades in one breath.

"Tudou, are you okay?" Old Abacus shook his head, which was a little dizzy from the sound of the huge explosion, ignoring to check whether he had been injured by shrapnel, and shouted loudly.

On this kind of battlefield where the adrenaline is soaring due to extreme tension, soldiers sometimes don't even feel pain, and many times they don't know they are injured until they touch the blood.

Adrenaline can be used as an analgesic to alleviate the pain of soldiers, but on the other hand, it also has an Achilles' heel. Soldiers will lose too much blood without knowing it, so experienced soldiers will avoid a round of attacks and check whether they have wounds rather than just pain.

"Bah, Gou Ri's frying is really accurate, and I'm so full of mud." Tudou's angry voice came, making the old abacus let go of his heart for a while, and turned his eyes to himself, confirming himself No injuries.

He didn't ask Yang Bicheng, who had been silent all the time, and there was no need to ask.

Yang Bicheng is no longer what he used to be. As long as he shoots, the kid's grenadier will die.

The precision shooters in the infantry squad were specially trained by the Four Elements Regiment to deal with important targets such as Japanese grenadiers and light machine gunners.

They are like hunters hiding in the dark, always harvesting the most valuable prey.

This is not how advanced Tang Dao's vision is, but the inevitable product of all Chinese troops being forced out by reality.It is not only unique to the Four Elements Regiment, even the Eightyth Army, which was extremely short of ammunition in the past, will not hesitate to spend ammunition to train sharpshooters to reduce the damage of grenades to its own side.

The only difference is that the cultivation of precision shooters by the Four Elements Group is almost abnormal in terms of cost and training methods.

During non-combat training, a non-commissioned officer who served as a precision shooter in the infantry squad fired more than 100 rounds of live ammunition every day.

And the requirement is that without a scope, the hit rate of the eight rings is 80.00%, and the range exceeds 250 meters. With the scope, the hit rate of the nine rings exceeds 80.00%, and the range exceeds 300 meters.

After taking off the military uniform, the thick calluses on the shoulders and elbows are the most obvious signs of the precision shooters of the Four Elements Regiment.

Yang Bicheng, after being greatly stimulated to get rid of his natural shortcomings of timidity and cowardice, he is simply a talented soldier.

No matter the nerve response or the capture of the target and the shooting talent, they are all first-class choices in the four-row group.

And the biggest reliance for Lao Abacus to muster up all the courage to launch an attack on an infantry squad is not the terrain and fortifications, but the existence of Yang Bicheng.

Although Yang Bicheng hadn't reached the level of Niu Er's ability to snipe targets from 500 meters away, he also had a record of successfully sniping two Japanese grenadiers from 380 meters away.When Wei Dong came to ask for someone, Li Jiujin was very reluctant, and finally agreed after thinking about the tragic battle of Iron and Steel Company at Mouse Mountain.

The old abacus who turned his attention to the battlefield again grinned, no wonder the Japanese grenadier shot a full five grenades at him like a dead mother.

Although the 16 Japanese soldiers in his shooting direction were more than 2 meters apart, they carefully maintained their speed while relying on natural stones and other objects to avoid attacks from the hills as much as possible, but at a distance of 120 meters, they were completely within the shooting range. The damage caused by the MP28 submachine gun pouring out 32 bullets within three seconds is comparable to that of a heavy machine gun.

At least four Japanese soldiers were hit by 9mm Milrug bullets. To be precise, they were hit by standard Luger bullets modified by the Sixing Regiment Arsenal. Although they were all 9mm standard bullets, under the proposal of Tang Tuanzuo The modified 9mm submachine gun bullets are much more powerful than the original bullets.

The arsenal led by Teacher Xiao He, after entering May, with the help of the batch of machinery and materials that Tang Tuanzuo brought back from Linfen, went all out to produce several kinds of bullets required by Tang Tuanzuo, including the 9mm standard submachine gun bullets.

Slightly different from the Dum bullet, which is easy to distort and deform, the front part of the 140mm bullet with a small amount of charge but enough to ensure a straight trajectory at 9 meters is hollow. Although the penetration of hard fortifications has become worse, But if it hit someone, it would be terrible.

The hollow in the front will cause the warhead to expand after being blocked, making the wound several times larger than the warhead area, and most of them will get stuck in the body, causing tissue damage and bleeding on a larger scale. Life".

The most terrible thing is that this kind of bullet is still a submachine gun bullet. As long as you are unfortunately shot, it is often not enough to finish the job with one shot.

The fallen Japanese soldiers may not have been hit, and they were still rolling in the grass, but in the eyes of the old abacus, they were already dead, and a large amount of blood loss would take their lives within 5 minutes.

In other words, within 5 minutes, even the huge wound hurts, and it can kill them alive.

The Japanese army was ferocious and cruel. No one stopped to care about the four wounded soldiers who were already mortal. They continued to attack resolutely under the cover of the grenadiers that their own side had already spoken.

It may be that in the first round of the Chinese attack, six of our own casualties were too heavy. Under the order of the re-established commander, the Japanese infantry in charge of covering the rear rushed out five more, basically making up for the loss just now. The attacking Japanese infantry was as many as 23 people.

Of course, that also means that the Japanese army basically has no infantry except for the 6 machine gunners and 6 grenadiers who are responsible for covering the rear. were involved in the attack.

The old Chinese man who was forced to lead the way was forced by the Japanese army to hide behind a rock in front of the machine gunner, including his little wild boar.

It can be seen from this point that the Japanese army still has great hopes for breaking out of this valley, and they need a living guide.

If they were really desperate, with the brutal nature of the Japanese army, not only the elderly would die, but even the Chinese wild boars would not be spared.

Of course, now the Japanese army has devoted almost all of its infantry to attack, and it is really helpless.

They are out of time.

If you don't work hard, maybe you won't have the chance to work hard in the future.Three light machine guns and three grenade launchers are great for the few Chinese on the top of the mountain, but for the main force of the Chinese, they are scum. Blast them to pieces.

Thousands of meters away, the sound of gunfire is gradually thinning out, which means that the Chinese have almost killed all their "brave" fellows.

The strong sense of crisis was like an invisible shackle, which was tightened around the necks of dozens of Japanese soldiers, making them terrified.

The crisis of consecutive casualties of six companions seemed insignificant under such inexplicable fear.

They have to rush to the ground as soon as possible, kill all the Chinese, and then flee.

The Japanese army's sense of crisis is very accurate.

The front of position 900, 6 meters away, is already full of Japanese troops.

For the four-row regiment infantry with a large number of automatic firearms, the Japanese infantry who started the "onboard charge" without sufficient artillery support was a pure suicide tactic.

In fact, the only infantry artillery of the Japanese army persisted for a long time. It bombarded the Chinese position with [-] rounds, and even blew up a light machine gun fire point and two light machine guns. Otherwise, the Japanese infantry might have even more It's over early.

The Chinese mortar fired a full sixteen rounds before killing the infantry artillery hidden under the cover of a protruding cliff.

The Japanese artillery chose a very tricky battle position. They couldn't defend against direct-pointing guns, but they were well protected against curved guns. It's a pity that they ignored one point after all. No matter how hard the rock is, it will loosen after a long bombing time.

Thousands of kilograms of rocks collapsed by the shells fell and smashed the Japanese artillery and infantry artillery, even the hard steel of the gun barrel was crushed, let alone the fragile human body.

Without the infantry artillery, those 92-type heavy machine guns did not know whether they were finally killed by the mortars, or they fled timidly. Anyway, when the Japanese infantry were in the most difficult time, they lost the support of the heavy machine guns that were still roaring. .

As a result, the remaining fifty or sixty Japanese troops could rely on only a few cover firepower to rely on. Obviously, it was impossible to suppress the firepower on the position as before.

How exaggerated is the firepower of a fully fired MP28 submachine gun combined with a semi-automatic rifle?

According to post-war statistics, Highland No. 18, which has 6 soldiers, fired 20 rounds of various types of bullets in less than 4000 minutes of combat time, with an average of 220 rounds per soldier.

In the past, it was enough to fight three large-scale battles, but here, it turned out to be an infantry squad that shot in 20 minutes.

Of course, the two MP28 submachine guns emptied 12 long magazines, and the two light machine guns and the heavy machine gun responsible for supporting them fired more than 2000 rounds of bullets. More than 1600 rounds of bullets were fired with a semi-automatic rifle, which is amazing enough.

When neither side has enough artillery cover, the number of bullets represents the attack power.

Regardless of whether the Japanese army charged forward one after another, or fell to the ground to avoid, as long as they entered the fire range of 100 meters, they were basically injured or killed.

Then, with the gunshots behind them, the nearly 30 remnants of the Japanese army who were still crawling in front of the position completely despaired.

The reinforcements dispatched by the Second Company finally arrived.

It was two infantry squads that arrived one after another with more than 35 people. Not only did the total strength exceed the lingering Japanese army, but they also formed a situation of front and back attack.

And the second lieutenant platoon leader who received the red signal flare from the old abacus finally understood the Japanese trick of "escape the shell" at this time. They even cruelly abandoned the main force in exchange for a few lives.

The second lieutenant's platoon leader knew very well that even if there were a small number of people, they didn't know where to go to the trio over there. Otherwise, with the old abacus, they wouldn't have fired the two red flares they carried.

Anxious, he ordered the other highlands to draw half of their troops to support the positions on the two wings. He wanted to kill these Japanese troops in the shortest possible time so as to support Lao Abacus and Tudou.

That boy Tudou is one of the symbols of the Steel Company.

After all, in the Seventh Iron and Steel Company back then, even Company Commander Wei Donglai was lying unconscious on the medical team, and only the little boy Tudou went to the position where they had been stationed.

Holding the figure covered in blood and mud all alone, I don't know how many soldiers of the Four Elements Battalion were moved.

In a sense, potatoes are a banner, a living banner.

The red-eyed second lieutenant platoon leader arrived with 22 soldiers. A total of more than 70 Chinese soldiers attacked more than 30 Japanese soldiers on the slope under the cover of heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenades.

The original offensive and defensive sides were miraculously switched.

It's just that the defenders at this time don't have any fortifications, and they don't even have decent suppressive firepower --- light machine guns. There are only about 30 bolt-action single-shot rifles in total.

The Chinese soldiers approaching them from three directions belonged to the crushing style in terms of military strength and firepower.

In a few minutes, the battle will be completely over.

Perhaps, before the battle is over, two infantry squads will reinforce Lao Abacus at high speed.

I just don't know if it's too late.

Everything depends on how desperate the Japanese army is over there.
