my bright sword career

Chapter 486
"There is still 100 meters left, everyone is ready!" Lieutenant Lu Xianping covered the helmet with one hand and grabbed the handle inside the Sd.Kfz.251 armored vehicle. Just now a mortar shell exploded not far from the armored vehicle. Although no one was injured, But the dust raised turned everyone in the car into chickens.

Lu Xianping's fate is good, this is recognized by everyone in Jiuying.

In the previous attack, the boy was stabbed twice in the left chest and survived. This incident even alarmed Gao Hongming, who is the supreme commander.

Later, after examination, it was found that the boy's heart actually grew on the right side, which was very strange.

According to the doctor, one in a million people with this kind of heart growing to the right may not be able to find one.

For an injury that is fatal to ordinary people, Lu Xianping was discharged from the hospital after lying in the hospital for only two months.

After returning to the army, he declined Gao Hongming's kindness to transfer him to the guard battalion, and returned to the Ninth Battalion as his platoon leader.

In its words, it means to stay at ease and comfortably in the old army.

Lu Xianping turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him. The young man's face turned pale, and sweat dripped down the brim of the M35 helmet onto the already soaked iron-gray combat uniform.

"Don't be nervous, puppy, you can get out of the car soon." Lu Xianping comforted.

"It's not nervous...platoon leader...I suddenly want to vomit."

"Persist a little longer. After you get out of the car, I will allow you to vomit as you please."

"Check the weapon for the last time, get ready, there are still 50 meters left." Lu Xianping roared loudly.

Lu Xianping and others took the Sd.Kfz.251, which is a half-track armor.

There are 2 members in the car, and it can also carry 10 infantry. Of course, it is not impossible to cram two more people in like Lu Xianping's car, but it is a little crowded.

它的车身约为5.8米，车宽2.1米，车身高1.75米，底盘距地高0.32米。2挺7.92毫米机枪安装在车体顶部的前方和后方。

Its armor thickness is about 7-12 mm, which can protect against bullets and shell fragments. It is one of the main personnel carriers of the German Army in another time and space.

Following Lu Xianping's order, the soldiers lowered their heads and pulled the bolts, loaded their rifles, and arranged the grenade bags around their waists.

The machine gun shooter tightened the leather shoulder strap of the machine gun back frame, checked the bullet box painted green again, and the assistant shooter helped open the tripod of the MG42.

The soldiers could obviously feel that the speed of the galloping armored vehicle suddenly slowed down, and then the heavy body of the armored vehicle paused forward and stopped.

"Quick, quick! Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"

The hatch installed at the rear of the armored vehicle was pushed open, and the infantry standing behind jumped out of the vehicle without hesitation, and rushed forward with their rifles in hand.

Lu Xianping stepped on the pedals and jumped out of the car behind the machine gun team, and then advanced towards the opposite Japanese army position that had been bombarded into ruins with an MP40 submachine gun.

"Da da da..." More than 200 meters away, a remnant Japanese firepower point suddenly burst into flames.

Facing the sudden attack, the soldiers who had been on high alert for a long time fell to the ground without the commander's order.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the machine gunner climbed to a small slope immediately, and the MG42 was also set up, and the assistant shooter loaded the bullets almost at the same time, and at the same time shouted loudly, "OK! "

The machine gunner pulled the bolt, and then a burst of dense bullets began to tilt towards the Japanese machine gun position.

Since the minimum rate of fire of MG42 is 1200 rounds, the maximum rate of fire can reach 1500 rounds.

And when the rate of fire of the machine gun exceeds 1000 rounds per minute, people cannot distinguish individual gunshots.

Therefore, the gunshot of the MG42 is not like the rattling sound of a Czech light machine gun or a Browning machine gun, but is similar to the "chi chi chi chi" sound of a rotating chainsaw.

In today's Japanese army, every new recruit will be taught by the veteran before going to the battlefield. Once you hear the sound of "chi chi chi" from the opposite position, don't hesitate, you must find a place to lie down as soon as possible. Do not try to challenge the power of this machine gun.

Countless Japanese soldiers have verified one thing with their lives, no matter how brave you are, you will become a piece of minced meat in front of MG42.

Because of the super high rate of fire of the MG42, the shooter can fire 12 to 15 rounds every time the shooter pulls the trigger in short bursts.

If a soldier is unfortunately hit by MG42, he will be shot several times in an instant, and the chance of surviving is very small.

Since MG1940 was equipped to the Liantai militia in 42, every Japanese army unit that had fought against the Liantai militia had tasted its power.

Countless Japanese soldiers were beaten to pieces by it. The Japanese army hated and feared it, but it is a pity that the Japanese army has not been able to come up with a weapon comparable to the MG42 until now.

This was a very successful fortified battle. The Liantai militia dispatched a company to charge against the position held by a squadron of the Japanese army.

After being ravaged by dozens of heavy artillery, there were not many soldiers in this Japanese position that could resist, and they were quickly taken down by the Ninth Battalion in armored vehicles.

Gao Hongming, who was watching the battle in the back, put down his binoculars with satisfaction, and said to a combat staff officer behind him: "The Ninth Battalion played well, tell Leihuo of the Ninth Battalion that tomorrow I will award the company with a medal and ask him to award the meritorious The list of soldiers and officers is counted!"

"Yes!"

The combat staff officer took the lead and left.

Master Liu, Political Commissar Ping, and Brigadier Chen not far away looked at each other.

It can be seen from the number that the troops that attacked just now should be newly formed troops.

But the attack just now can be described as flowing clouds and flowing water and mercury pouring down the ground. It is impossible to tell that this army is a new army that has just been formed less than a year ago.

Of course, this is not to say that the combat effectiveness of that army is unparalleled in the world.

It is that the army's grasp of the weapons in the hands, the officers' grasp of the rhythm of the battlefield, and the tacit cooperation between the soldiers have reached a very high level.

They have been here for so long, and Gao Hongming has no intention of hiding, of course they understand the Liantai militia's style of play.

The Liantai militia adopted a three-three system, that is, a machine gun team was the core, and two or three other three-person teams cooperated.

Three groups can form a triangle, so that whether it is attacking or retreating, the power of the weapon in hand can be maximized.

Who are Master Liu, Political Commissar Ping and Brigadier Chen? They are veteran generals who have experienced many battles.

The open-minded Master Liu immediately asked Gao Hongming for advice, and Gao Hongming did not hide his secrets, and taught this method of warfare to the 129th Division without reservation.

The commanders and fighters of the 129th Division generally reported after learning that this method of warfare can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

However, judging from today's battle, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of troops not only requires the innovation of tactical tactics, but for troops equipped with different weapons, tactical tactics must also be adjusted accordingly.

Take the Liantai militia as an example, their infantry tactics revolve around MG42.

When attacking, the machine gun team chooses a good position, uses the MG42's high rate of fire and ferocious firepower to suppress the enemy, and then two or three combat teams composed of a submachine gunner and two riflemen attack the enemy from both wings .

The same is true when defending, with the machine gun team as the core, and other teams to assist in effectively killing the attacking enemy.

But Master Liu found that the same tactics would be greatly reduced if the Eighth Route Army were to implement them.

The reason is simple, because the Eighth Route Army does not have the core of this tactic... MG42 machine gun.

Although the firepower of this thing is super fierce, but as the saying goes, Xiao He loses Xiao He, because its rate of fire is so fast, the Eighth Route Army really can't afford it.

The battle lasted very short and ended in less than half an hour.

Just when Gao Hongming was about to greet Master Liu and others to go back, Chi Yaohui came over and said in a low voice: "Tuan...the planes that rescued Doolittle and his party have returned."

When Gao Hongming heard it, his nature suddenly came: "Oh...how did they complete it?"

"It can only be said that most of it is completed?"

"Mostly...how do you say that?"

"It's like this." Chi Yaohui explained: "Doolittle was rescued, and dozens of pilots were rescued with him, but the problem now is that dozens of Yankees were rescued by the Japanese. People are trapped in a county called Ji'an.

There is only one regiment of the national army defending, but it has been surrounded by Japanese regiments.And the anti-aircraft fire is so tight that our reconnaissance planes can't land there at all.

Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle is requesting that we send more aircraft and troops for reinforcements! "

Gao Hongming frowned, "If this is the case, our risk will definitely be even higher.

Also, what about the loss of rescue teams we send out these days? "

"Because our action was very sudden, the Japanese army in the Zhejiang area did not expect that we would send ultra-light aircraft to rescue, so the operation went smoothly at the beginning.

But according to the news from over there, the Japanese have noticed our actions and stepped up patrols in the Zhejiang area, and their planes have also carried out regular patrols, so..."

"So now our reconnaissance plane can't get close to Ji'an County, can it?"

"Yes!" Chi Yaohui replied helplessly.

"Okay, do a statistic, if we want to rescue the Americans in Ji'an County, how much will it cost?"

Chi Yaohui replied without hesitation: "If we want to rescue the Americans in Ji'an County, we need to dispatch at least two to three squadrons of planes to compete for air supremacy there, and send at least one squadron of reconnaissance planes to transport them there. Quzhou Airport, and then use the C-47 transport plane to transport them back.

But the premise of doing this is that we must get the full help of the third theater. "

"Sir... Doolittle and his party are asking to see you outside!"

Just when Gao Hongming was considering gains and losses, a staff officer came to report.
