Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 914
Komura Hiroshi's military order was very simple and rude. He directly ordered 6 grenade grenades to be aimed at the hillside to fire grenades. 6 of the 4 heavy machine guns also fired on the flanks, and 12 96-type light machine guns joined the fire coverage.

Continuous gunshots and explosions instantly filled the mountains and fields!
The surging firepower output is not counted, 2 infantry squadrons, nearly 400 infantry moved!
It was completely a posture of wanting to eat the opponent in one bite.

But perhaps, Hiroshi Komura underestimated the Chinese infantry battalion in front of him too much!
Yes, the first battalion of the 769th regiment has the same organization as most Chinese infantry divisions. An infantry battalion consists of three infantry companies with about 3 people and a machine gun company with about 130 people. The total strength is about 100 people!
If it is replaced by an infantry battalion of a German armorer, the infantry is equipped with official rifles, and the machine guns are made in the Czech Republic, even reaching one for each infantry squad. An infantry battalion will have 27 light machine guns and 4-6 heavy machine guns. In terms of artillery, the light firepower will never be weaker than the three infantry squadrons currently led by Komura Hiroshi and an additional heavy machine gun squad.

But obviously, the 80th Group Army not only does not belong to the direct line of the current power holders, but is also a former enemy. It is good to be able to provide staff and military pay, but also want weapons and equipment?What are you thinking!

The infantry is equipped with old sleeves made in Hanyang, and there are also some 92-type rifles captured in the battle. Light machine guns are also made in various countries. It is good to have three or four in an infantry company, not to mention heavy machine guns. The two Min [-] heavy machine guns equipped in the first battalion were imitated from the famous Maxim heavy machine gun. The comprehensive performance is enough to beat the [-] type heavy machine gun equipped by the Japanese army, but the number is small!

An infantry battalion has only two, which is one-third of the number of heavy machine guns owned by the Japanese army, and is at an absolute disadvantage!

In terms of firepower or equipment, the Japanese army is completely crushing.

But the fact that the 769 regiment was sent to the battlefield by the headquarters of the 921 division has proved that it is not an ordinary army!

In Tang Dao's memory, there was such a comparison on the Internet. At the beginning of the establishment of the 80th Army, there were 3 divisions, 6 brigades, and the 511th Division, an unorganized independent regiment, a total of 13 infantry regiments. Including the performance in the Icefield War, comprehensive evaluation, who is the 'No. [-] regiment in the world'?
The final result is actually very convincing. Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's 772 regiment is known as the most capable infantry regiment. As the main regiment under the command of the first brigade in the world, the 772 regiment fought almost from the beginning to the end of the eight-year war of resistance. Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, the regiment commanders alone sacrificed as many as seven people, which is the most among the infantry regiments of the [-]th Army.

The 511 regiment under the 685 division is also very good. They participated in the creation of the three bases of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shandong and Central China. They are also the predecessor of the future "Long Live Army"!

With such two infantry regiments in front, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the 769 regiments who have been fighting in the Taihang Mountain area for a long time, but in the end, the 769 regiments were selected as the first with more than 50.00% of the votes.

The reason is simple. The 772 regiment, which is far less famous than the 769 regiment, is the "Yulin Army" hand-picked by the 911th Army and the [-]th Division. They are almost where the division headquarters and headquarters are. This is itself recognized by the boss, and , when it comes to the number of generals who came out of the regiment, the entire [-]th Army is unmatched!

To become a general, one must have both seniority and military exploits, both of which are indispensable!

The strength of the 769 regiment can also be seen from this!
And the first battalion led by Comrade Kong is the main battalion of this powerful infantry regiment. Among the nearly 500 officers and soldiers under his command, more than two-thirds have experienced the [-]-mile transfer that lasted more than a year. , Regardless of technical and tactical level or spiritual will, they are all elite.

Super tough!It may be the most objective to describe them with a word that everyone understands!

Because of the terrain here, it was impossible to deploy troops to the two flanks, but Comrade Kong still placed two infantry platoons on the flank ridge according to local conditions to prevent the Japanese from bypassing and attacking the position from the other side. A full infantry company was placed to form a '7' shape, and another infantry platoon and an infantry company were placed on the second line as a reserve.

The two heavy machine guns were placed in the mountains and forests more than 400 meters away from the entire battlefield, condescending to provide fire cover for the infantry below.

There is a fairly dense jungle as a cover, and the distance is enough for the Japanese grenadiers to reach. Unless the 92 infantry artillery is lucky enough, it is delusional to bomb them with a few shots!
Such a formation was placed in front of the Japanese army, and Komura Hiroshi who directly ordered the attack also had his helplessness.

Either he leads his subordinates around and doesn't come head-to-head with the Chinese, but obviously this is 100% impossible. Neither the military order nor the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army will allow him to do so!
The only remaining option is to attack by force and kill the Chinese army, which doesn't seem to have a lot of troops.

Therefore, judging from the situation at that time, the supreme commanders of the Chinese and Japanese armies, who met each other on a narrow road, chose the most correct way.

However, there is no tie in the battlefield, only life and death, only victory or defeat!

Winner takes all, loser for Kou!
. . . . . . . . .

The 4 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army roared out from 300 meters away, causing stone chips to fly on the ground. All Chinese soldiers crawled dead behind the stones or remained motionless in the temporary trenches.

The Type 500 heavy machine gun with a rate of fire of up to [-] rounds per minute is not a joke. The bullet with the thickness of a finger is a blood hole. In the absence of a field hospital, even if it does not die on the spot, basically no one will die. Can last until the end of the battle, just bleeding to death.

The other 2 have not yet spoken, so don't even think about it, they are naturally defending against the heavy firepower of the 1st Battalion, and when the heavy machine guns of the 1st Battalion appear, the 2 heavy machine guns will immediately carry out corresponding counter-suppression.

However, the Japanese army is also arrogant enough. In order to improve the hit rate of heavy machine guns, they directly put heavy machine guns under the threat of grenadier range!
Of course, they have their reasons for daring to do this. After intelligence analysis and reports from the front line, the Chinese troops participating in the battle are either gray uniforms or dark blue uniforms. These two armies have a common feature: tenacious will, but also have almost the same weakness: insufficient firepower!
Grenadiers, they really don't have many.

In fact, they were right. The first battalion under Lao Kong’s command, plus the grenadier captured just now, had a total of 3 grenades, and there was a serious shortage of grenades, no more than 30 in total!
Three grenadiers are nothing against the infantry artillery under Kami Komura Hiroshi and the firepower of more than ten grenadiers, but that's only relatively speaking?

Just like comparing the combat power of Brother Pingtou and the King of the Grassland, the lion does occupy an overwhelming force value, but the lion can't ignore Brother Pingtou's sharp teeth!One bite can also cause a bloody hole.

Of course, at this moment, the Japanese army, which is focusing on the premise of firepower, is still very excited. They can see the situation of the frontline positions clearly without binoculars. up.

However, the threat of heavy machine guns is great, but as long as you lie behind the cover and don't look up, the bullets of heavy machine guns will not turn around. The biggest threat to the first battalion is actually the Japanese infantry who have already moved.

Nearly 400 infantrymen, amidst the roar of 4 heavy machine guns, divided into 4 waves and trotted forward to the frontal position.

The distance between each wave is more than 5 meters, and the distance between each Japanese soldier is more than [-] meters.In order to cover the infantry attack, the Japanese grenadiers located further away even threw smoke bombs on the position.

Obviously, Hiroshi Komura, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, was by no means an idiot. Although he was violent, his tactical layout was rigid and extremely aggressive.

It seems that the main force of the infantry was pushed up at once, but in fact, the more than 100 Japanese troops in the first wave ahead were still responsible for the tentative attack, responsible for testing out the deployment of Chinese troops and the location of heavy and heavy firepower.

Once the Chinese light and heavy firepower points are fired, the grenadiers hidden in the second and third waves of attacking infantry and the two 700 infantry guns that have advanced to a distance of no more than 92 meters from the front line will launch long-range attacks on these firepower points.

This is naturally not a new trick, but it has been tried and tested in the Japanese army's battle against the Chinese army. The reason is very simple. The Chinese have too few artillery pieces. They can openly place heavy machine guns hundreds of meters away to suppress the infantry. But once the firepower of the Chinese emerges, their artillery can strike the heavy firepower.

With the advantage of heavy firepower, you can be so willful!
The current 769st Battalion of the 20th Regiment has a temporary field position that took 3 minutes to build, and it is also the defensive side. It seems to have a lot of advantages, but the light and heavy machine guns are only one-third of the Japanese army. The grenadier and two 9 infantry guns are almost negligible in comparison, and the Japanese army's advantage in heavy firepower offsets all of these at once.

In fact, the two sides are basically on the same starting line, it depends on who can stand up.

Withstood unbearable casualties.

Just on this spring morning, the 'shit-yellow' cats are walking forward quickly from the bushes and the rugged mountain road, like a well-hidden groundhog. You clearly know that he is there, but Because of the effect of gunpowder smoke and distance, their whereabouts could not be seen clearly.

The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were still roaring. Although the original flaming ballistic trajectory was not obvious under the action of the sun, the rain of bullets poured over was real. Dare to lift.

From 200 meters away, dozens of infantrymen in the first wave of the Japanese army began to charge from the first infantry squad. The people were more than 30 meters behind, and several light machine guns that followed the infantry also settled down one after another, looking for cover, and aimed their guns at the Chinese position from the two wings.

At the same time, the intensity of the Japanese smoke bombs was increasing, covering the front of the entire frontline position in a thick smoke. The sight of the Chinese and Japanese infantry was collectively blocked, but the footsteps of the Japanese soldiers who had already started charging did not stop.

The Japanese army was extremely cunning. Although a large number of smoke bombs blocked one's line of sight, it was difficult to use precise shooting to help the front line, but the firepower of light and heavy machine guns was sufficient, but it was difficult for Chinese soldiers to attack the Japanese infantry who had already entered the charging state. , unless they expose the firepower now.

Once they rushed into the front line 30 meters into the distance where they could throw grenades, the heavy machine guns would stop firing and be replaced by closer-range light machine guns, and then wave after wave of Japanese infantry would attack the ground. It is difficult for the defenders to withstand the continuous throwing of grenades and even the flat-end bayonets of the Japanese army. Hand-to-hand combat is the Japanese army's favorite way to show their bravery and skill.

At this time, 80.00% of the defenders are basically defeated.

But the reaction of the first battalion was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Japanese army. Until dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed to the position of 100 meters, the Chinese defenders remained silent and did not fire a single shot.

This even caused Shao Zuo Komura, who was watching the battlefield closely with a telescope, to have an illusion. Did the Chinese on the opposite side just feign a shot and run away long ago?

He obviously forgot that the most common way for the "Tuba" without heavy firepower to deal with the Japanese army is to shoot close.

It can not only save ammunition, but also make it too late for him to run.

As for the so-called invincible hand-to-hand combat of the Japanese army, the 'Tuba' who lacks guns and ammunition is the least fearful, and it can even be said to be a wish for it!
Therefore, when the Japanese forward in the first wave stepped into a distance of about 100 meters, a sharp iron whistle sounded, and the first shot was fired from the opposite position.

Then, there was a deafening "bang! bang!" The sound of a rifle made in Hanyang.

That was more than 200 rifles firing at the same time, from the front, from the ridge, aimed at the same area.

There are not many machine guns, so use rifles to focus fire, and the five infantry platoons are facing the Japanese heavy machine guns, firing wildly!
Even if several soldiers had just picked up their guns and raised their heads, before they could pull the trigger, they were hit by finger-thick bullets from the 92 heavy machine gun and fell down without a word.

But the soldiers of the first battalion on the front line are still resolutely shooting from the upper body behind the bunker. Only in this way can the hit rate be guaranteed!

Death for death!
This is the tough spirit!

The sacrifices paid must be rewarded. While Chinese soldiers kept falling in the simple field bunkers, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers striding forward with rifles fell to the ground.

The first battalion of the 1st Battalion, under the rain of bullets, hit the Japanese army's forehead so accurately, not to mention the brain burst, it was also the kind of dizziness.

come!come here!Let's trade death for death!The Chinese soldiers burst out their own cry with continuous sacrifices and counterattacks!
Facing the ferocious attack of the Japanese army, Hiroshi Komura was ruthless at the first encounter with the famous Hard-Bone Battalion in the [-]th Army.

Many fallen Japanese soldiers did not die immediately, but wailed in pain in the grass, calling for friends and friends, hoping that their companions could help them.

For a moment, the painful wailing even surpassed the deafening volley of gunfire.

If you say that the Japanese are not made of tofu, why are they crying so miserably when they are shot?I have never heard of a Chinese soldier who was shot and then grabbed with tears and snot.

It’s not that the Chinese are more tolerant of pain than the Japanese. In fact, people are all the same. They will cry when they are in pain, and they will cry when they are about to die. No one is made of steel, they are all flesh and blood. ordinary people.

The main reason is that the styles of rifles equipped by the Chinese and Japanese armies are different, and the different bullets are also related.

At this time, the Japanese army was equipped with 6.5-type riflemen equipped with 400 mm caliber pointed bullets. While saving resources, this small caliber bullet also has the characteristics of strong penetrating power. The straight trajectory allows the effective range to reach [-] meters.

This is undoubtedly an excellent single-shot rifle. Many accurate shooters in the Chinese army simply use the [-] rifle as a sniper rifle.

But while the 6.5mm pointed bullet has these advantages, its lethality is really depressing. The bullet fired by the [-]-type rifle can easily penetrate the human body without rolling and fragmenting, as long as it does not hit the artery or the head , it is difficult to cause fatal damage.

This result led to the Japanese army's invasion of China half a year after the entire army was equipped with a round-headed armor structure. After hitting the human body, the projectile body was easily split, forming a terrible cavity effect, and the lethality was greatly increased. However, at this time, the Japanese North China Front Army was still Not fully equipped.

The 769st Battalion of the 1th Regiment is equipped with old guns. The most popular Hanyang made by the Chinese army is a copy of the German 1888 Committee rifle, equipped with 7.92mm round bullets.

This kind of rifle is actually not very bright. The effective range is only more than 300 meters. The accuracy is also worse than that of the Type 10 rifle. exploded.

But the power of the 7.92 round bullet is much greater than the 6.5 pointed bullet of the [-] rifle. What's more terrible is that once it enters the human body, the round bullet will roll and deform after being hindered by muscles and bones, which will give the human body The muscular tissue formed a huge wound, which looked like a bullet hole on the outside, but actually it was a teacup-sized wound inside.

A shot like this, do you think it hurts?If you don't cry, it's probably over.

With just one blow, the Japanese striker who chanted "Lucky for a long time" in his heart was full of self-confidence and strided forward to the ground.

Brave the word!In fact, it is relative. When bravery meets cowardice, bravery will shine brilliantly, but when bravery meets bravery, it depends on who lasts longer!

Obviously, the Japanese army, who was brave in the first ten seconds, pulled it!
