Chapter 59: Occupy the Position
Submachine gun is also known as hand-held machine gun or hand-held light machine gun, in China also some people call it flower machine gun, etc., the international definition of it is a kind of "single soldier two-handed holding and firing pistol bullets of light automatic gun".
Note that the keywords "firing pistol rounds" and "light fully automatic" are used here, which already distinguish it from pistols and light machine guns. As a professional soldier, Ichiro Harukawa is naturally very familiar with this kind of weapon, but in the traditional thinking of the Japanese, they have always been uninterested in this kind of weapon with a short range and consuming ammunition, because although it has been more than 10 years since the submachine gun came out in 1918, the Japanese military department has always taken an indifferent attitude towards this kind of weapon, and the Japanese army stubbornly believes that the submachine gun is just a flashy weapon, and it is not of much use except for the fact that it will consume a lot of resources.
The Japanese Army believes that the rifle can do all the things that the submachine gun can do, its range is not as good as the rifle, the accuracy is not as good as the rifle, and the rifle can do what a single bullet can do, but the submachine gun consumes dozens of times the ammunition, and it may not be able to do it, so it is useless at all. It was not until 1935, after the Japanese army in China suffered a heavy loss of submachine guns, that the Japanese military department developed a century-old submachine gun, and creatively equipped this submachine gun with a bayonet, which shows that the Japanese thinking of fighting bayonets has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Ichiro Harukawa was a traditional Japanese soldier who was usually dismissive of submachine guns, but today he was surprised to find that this weapon, which he had looked down upon in the past, was so powerful. At this time, there were already many Chinese soldiers at the front of the Japanese position, and the submachine guns in the hands of these people kept spitting fire snakes towards the Japanese position, so that many Japanese soldiers could not raise their heads at all. Because the two sides have been very close, many Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trench under the order of the officers and rushed towards the Chinese soldiers in front of them with bayonets, they vowed to use the bayonets in their hands and superb assassination skills to teach these Chinese how to fight hand-to-hand, but they were greeted not by the same bayonets, but by flying bullets, in this kind of close combat, the power of the submachine gun has been maximized, and the Japanese army's superb fighting skills and bravery have no room to play at all, Having lost cover, they were quickly knocked down by a dense rain of bullets.
Su Jin held a Suomi submachine gun, constantly walking through the middle of the position, the submachine gun in his hand would spew out fire snakes from time to time, and so far several Japanese soldiers had fallen under his gun.
"ๆฎบใ......"
When Su Jin rushed to the back of a mound, a loud shout rang out next to him, and a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the hill, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and for a moment Su Jin only felt that the cold hairs all over his body stood up, he hurriedly flashed to the side, and a sharp knife light slashed his head almost at the same time. Su Jin didn't have time to think about it, the muzzle of the gun in his hand pulled the trigger, and with a rapid gunshot, a figure was knocked a few meters away by the huge impact of the bullet.
It was only at this time that Su Jin had time to lower his head and look at the person who attacked him, and when he saw the other party's epaulettes, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, it turned out to be a young man.
At this time, Su Jin naturally didn't know that the officer he killed was the commander of the Japanese artillery position, Ichiro Harukawa Shaozuo, but even if he knew it, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these, at this time Huang Weiguo and Li Wei had also led a squadron to rush into the Japanese position, because most of the Japanese infantry had been annihilated, and those gunners had lost the will to resist, and the Japanese army and militia soldiers were chasing and killing them everywhere on the position.
More than ten minutes later, the battle ended, at this time there was no Japanese army on the position, except for a few Japanese soldiers who fled accidentally, most of the Japanese soldiers were lying in this rice field, Zhang Xiuniang, Xiaoyu and Tie Bolt and other machine gunners saw the end of the battle and ran over with weapons.
"Haha...... Joyfully...... It's so exciting! โ
Huang Weiguo couldn't help laughing, just now his first squadron took the lead in breaking through the Japanese position, and this squadron showed its face.
Su Jin's face also showed a smile, this battle was also the first time he opened his stance and the Japanese army in a field battle, although the other party was only a group of artillery units, but this was also a good start, especially for the militia with a large number of recruits, it boosted his morale and improved their confidence.
Su Jin just wanted to order the troops to clean up the battlefield, but he heard the soldier in charge of the guard not far away report: "Sir, the enemy situation has been found in the north. โ
"What...... Enemy? โ
Su Jin was suddenly startled, he walked quickly to Zhang Xiuniang, who was walking towards him, took the binoculars from her hand and looked to the north, and saw a Japanese army advancing rapidly in this direction from the frame, with about two hundred people.
Seeing this, Su Jin's heart was originally a little lifted, and then he relaxed.
Looking at the Japanese army who was rapidly advancing towards him, Su Jin snorted lightly: "The strength of only one squadron has also come, who gave you so much courage." โ
Su Jin said so, but he didn't expect that according to the general arrangement of the Japanese army at this time, they could deal with a division of the national army with a wing, and a brigade could deal with a regiment, and now sending a squadron over can be regarded as worthy of them.
With the emergence of the enemy, the militia that had just taken the position and had not had time to take a breath was put into intense preparations, Tie Bolt and the rest of the machine gunners began to dig up the machine gun bunker nervously, and the militia soldiers also entered the position one after another, and even Xiaoyu began to look for a flat bottom and began to set up mortars, and everyone began to get nervous.
Just when everyone was digging bunkers and re-strengthening their positions, Su Jin turned his eyes to the artillery pieces behind him, and there was a hint of regret in his eyes, in the battle just now, these artillery pieces were destroyed by the red-eyed soldiers, and one was blown up by Xiaoyu's mortars, but there are still three 92 infantry guns and two 94 mountain guns are still intact, if there are gunners, these will immediately be able to play a role.
"Alas...... There is still a shortage of talents. Su Jin felt a little depressed, artillery is an authentic high-tech branch in this year, if it is an infantry, throw a rifle to the soldier and tinker for ten days and a half to initially learn shooting skills, but a qualified artilleryman needs to learn ballistics, horizontal shooting, rapid fire and other skills, no wonder in the era when the illiteracy rate reached almost 99%, artillery was included in the ranks of special forces, so Su Jin wants to form an artillery unit is not simple, this thing can not be used after cashing out. Of course, a little girl like Xiaoyu is an exception, although she has not been in contact with mortars for many days, she has begun to show her talent, which Su Jin can only explain with Sister Cannon's possession.
