Beiyang 1917

() Therefore, there was such a weird atmosphere on the battlefield. The Allied armored troops and Japanese infantry squadrons advancing rumbling on the hilly grassland at the confluence of the Kharkov River and the Uda River did not wait for the expected German iron armor. The artillery attack and interception of the train, while the flags and drums on the artillery positions behind the coalition forces died down, seemed to sound the horn of the German counterattack guarding the position of the Lopan River Bridge...

The two infantry battalions of the 139th German Infantry Regiment suddenly emerged from the position, and the bricks blocking the gunholes in the fortress that had not been bombarded by the coalition artillery were smashed open, and then at a distance of less than 2 meters, The difference is not much. Nearly 500 mg10 water-cooled heavy machine guns roared in a dull and palpitating manner. The dense machine gun bullets scattered sparks on the turrets and front armor of the ten wheeled armored vehicles of the 08rd Allied Armored Company. ... ..

At the same time, the 7.6cm light infantry mortars in the hidden trenches of the German army quickly moved into place and began to shoot accurately. Of course, the target was not the 3rd Allied Armored Company rushing to the front, nor the right flank along the Udahe River. The 4th Armored Company sneaking forward while Kishi releases smoke...

The sudden firing of the German army on the Lopan River position broke the suffocating depression on the battlefield before. Following the attack from behind the Chinese wheeled armored combat vehicles, the Japanese Infantry No. 217 Squadron, which was attacking behind the Chinese wheeled armored combat vehicles, followed the infantry unit of the 500th Squadron of the Japanese Infantry. He fell to the ground, and then began to crawl and move back. Obviously, the anti-tank trench [-] meters away from the opponent's position that he just broke through has become the closest and best defensive position for Japanese infantry.

要不说怎么32岁的ri本陆军大尉佐佐木到一阁下像受了惊的兔子一样从装甲第3连连长董英斌上尉的那辆中华悍马fj18侦察战斗指挥车上蹦了下去，一边挥舞着手里的纳甘转轮手枪，一边声嘶力竭的指挥跟随在中国装甲第3连轮式战车身后的自己中队的步兵抢占身后不到10米处的那道反坦克壕沟呢？ ..

Of course, the firepower of the German counterattack on the Lopan River Bridge position did not exceed the expectations of the 3rd Chinese Armored Company. Captain Dong Yingbin, the commander of the 3rd Company, also left his Chinese Humvee fj18 off-road reconnaissance command vehicle at some point, but boarded Got on the command of the fd17ii wheeled armored combat vehicle of the company headquarters, and the command vehicle equipped with the m1918a2 Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun had already turned its head and drove backward with a sharp sound. The heavy machine gun on the back fired fiercely at the position of the Lopan River Bridge with a persistent muzzle.

In the establishment of the German army in 1918, the combatants of the German infantry company were also 126, plus about 140 in the company squad, about 560 in a battalion infantry, and about 600 in the battalion platoon, plus In the upper motorized platoon and heavy machine gun company (administering three 2-door heavy machine gun platoons), the strength of a battalion is about 700 people, and each infantry company is equipped with 6 Bergman 1915 light machine guns and the same number of 7.6 cm light infantry mortars, while the battalion directly controls a heavy machine gun company equipped with 6 mg08 water-cooled heavy machine guns.

此刻德军守卫洛潘河桥头堡阵地的不过就是2个步兵营，合计1400人不到的兵力，装备了12挺mg08重机枪和12挺博格曼1915轻机枪，当然，还有12门最大she程为1000米的7.6cm轻步兵迫击炮，他们面对的是联军2个装甲连20辆轮式装甲战车上的m2勃朗宁大口径重机枪的火力，同时还有装甲营所属的8门m81营属迫击炮……

The 217 Browning squadron machine guns and 6 6mm platoon mortars deployed by the 60th Squadron of the Japanese Infantry under the command of Captain Sasaki were basically not counted by Li Shang and Dong Yingbin. In the view of the commander of the Chinese armored force, Lieutenant Sasaki's squadron just played the role of waving the flag and cheering... In fact, the vehicle-mounted infantry of the 3rd Armored Company didn't get out of the vehicle to fight at all, but the m60 platoon's mortar was at the edge of the anti-tank trench 1000 meters away from the German position It's just unfolded.

这样一来，双方的重机枪火力形成了20：12的态势，轻机枪方面ri军是6挺，中国装甲部队的20挺勃朗宁班用机枪和他们的she手压根就没有下车，迫击炮方面，联军是2000米外的8门m81营属迫击炮加上1000米外的18门m60排属迫击炮，德军是48门she程1公里的7.6cm轻步兵迫击炮和48挺博格曼1915轻机枪……

The long-range artillery on both sides died down and did not help. The advantage of the German army is that the number of 7.6cm light infantry mortars is amazing. The disadvantage is that they can only reach within the range of 1000 meters. The power of the 1000 light machine gun obviously does not pose a threat to the 500 wheeled armored tanks of the coalition forces... In fact, even the mg1915 heavy machine gun is powerless. In addition to splashing sparks on the coalition armored tanks, if you want to rely on the mg20 machine gun Bullets penetrating the armor of the Chinese fd08ii wheeled armored combat vehicle is a dream...

The biggest threat to the coalition armored forces comes from the bombardment of the 48 German 7.6cm light infantry mortars... Since the German mortars were originally improved from trench mortars, although they jumped and had a short range, However, the explosive power of the mortar shell weighing 4.5 kg exceeded the 81 kg grenade power of the coalition m3.6 mortar, and the German mortar positions were located in the trenches, completely avoiding the threat of firepower from the large-caliber heavy machine guns of the coalition armored vehicles ...

If Dong Yingbin's 3rd Armored Company started to back up and retreat after the Germans opened fire, the reason why they didn't turn around was because they didn't want to expose the relatively weak flank armor and tail armor of the Chinese fd17ii wheeled armored battlefield to the German machine guns and mortar fire force……

For the German army who dared to fire, this counterattack after the opponent's long-range artillery fire stopped shelling seemed a bit risky. Although the good news is that the train carrying the 140th German Infantry Regiment has arrived three kilometers south of the Lopan River Bridge. The bad news is that the armored train unit 2 commanded by Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt is still out of range of the opponent's 105mm howitzer. Troops and Japanese infantry accompanying the attack...
