Under the cover of infantry artillery and mortar fire, the Japanese troops formed a straddle formation, covered each other and jumped into the abandoned trenches of the Seventh Company, approaching the main position of the Seventh Company step by step.

The remaining veterans of the Seventh Company, who had been fighting for a long time, were silent in the position, allowing the devil's shells to keep falling and exploding at the foot of the hill in the main position, and they were not afraid of color, and they did not dare to say that Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, at least the bombs collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged.

Everyone stared at the devil's run, calculating the approximate distance, if in the past, 400 meters was a dividing line, as the defender would have to shoot.

Slow down the enemy's march, after all, the shot of a single-shot rifle is not so fast, and it is necessary to stop the enemy within the effective range without rushing to reload the bullets yourself.

And at a distance of 400 meters, you can see that the head and shoulders of the devil can be separated, and you can shoot the entire torso, if the person who shoots is not dead or injured, although the face is not clear, but it doesn't matter, and it is not to see how handsome the person is.

At a distance of 300 meters, you can see the color of the enemy's clothes, and although you can't see the enemy's facial features clearly, you can at least distinguish the head, and at this distance, a good shooter can confidently shoot the enemy's head.

Once the enemy enters this distance, it is already a relatively dangerous distance, and light and heavy weapons will have to be fired, especially automatic firearms of light and heavy machine guns, and fire must be suppressed, and the enemy cannot be allowed to advance.

At a distance of 200 meters, the guns held by the enemy can be recognized, such as ammunition boxes, water bottles, bayonet sheaths, and officers' pistol holsters.

When the enemy enters this distance, everyone must raise the spirit of 12 points to prepare for the enemy's grenadiers, especially light and heavy machine guns, which are the main targets of the enemy's grenadier strikes.

At this distance, it is not only necessary to hit the enemy with saturated firepower, but also to prevent enemy attacks, and to be ready to shift, attack, or retreat.

At 150 to 170 meters, the buttons of the enemy's clothes and small parts of the equipment can be seen, and this distance is a very dangerous distance for both sides.

Because this distance is the effective range of the grenadier, the range of the Taisho 10th grenadier mentioned here is 175 meters; It was later replaced by the Eight-Nine grenadier canister.

The Type 89 grenadier is an improved version of the Taisho 10th year, with a caliber of 50 mm, a maximum range of 700 meters, and an effective range of 500 meters.

In terms of distance, it can simply replace mortars, of course, in terms of firepower, there is still a difference with mortars, and the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy.

Even so, for the infantry, the Type 89 grenadier was also a very ideal hand-held long-range attack weapon, and the Type 89 later became the main grenadier of the Japanese army in World War II.

An infantry squad in the Japanese army generally had three squads, plus a grenadier squad equipped with three grenadier groups, and the ammunition hand of each grenadier carried a base of 16 grenades, for a total of 48 grenades in the three groups.

In the event of a more intense battle, the firepower will be increased, with one or two ammo men per group, or even a grenadier canister.

At the predetermined attack distance, the grenades of the grenadiers will rain down on the light and heavy machine gun firing positions; During the Anti-Japanese War, more than 60% of the heavy machine guns of the national army were shot by the Japanese grenadiers.

As individual weapons became more powerful and long-ranged, heavy machine guns, which were bulky and difficult to move, and even fixed bunkers, gradually withdrew from the sequence of warfare, which is a later story.

……

Now the seven companies can see the devil's face, hand joints, rifle parts and other small objects in the hole, indicating that the devil has entered a distance of 100 meters.

Of course, the devil is not a fool, as early as 400 meters away, he bent down and jumped forward, paused behind the temporary concealment, covered his companions, and then observed the next concealment point, and then moved forward with the same action again, not in a straight line, crooked and diagonally forward.

This is the regular movement of the skirmishers, and at a distance of 200 meters, they are even more cautious, the distance of the leap is not too far, and if they advance a few steps, they will immediately lie down or crouch behind the hidden point.

Now at a distance of 100 meters, even if the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side have not yet fired, or are not sure if there are Chinese soldiers on the opposite side, the devils still made some fire tests, such as shooting and firing grenadiers.

The devils in front slowed down, but the devils behind didn't slow down, so more enemies slowly gathered, and the straggler formation squeezed into a cluster charging formation.

If this precious opportunity is missed, the Seventh Company may suffer from the cluster charge of the devils, and when it reaches fifty meters, a rising charge will be in front of you within ten seconds.

A single-shot rifle can only kill one or two enemies at most, and it will be too late to fight again, because the enemy's bayonet will be stabbed in front of your eyes right away.

Niu Gu shouted at the big potato and their machine gunners, and all of a sudden the machine guns at the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain screamed, and the half-three-dimensional and half-cross firepower gave the devil the maximum damage at once.

Xiucai's excellent shooters were on the top of the hill, and they had already aimed at the enemy's officers, and after the first shot, the enemy's officers behind them fell one after another.

For a while, the heavy firepower of the devils began to retaliate back, constantly bombarding the top and slope of the hill, and Xiucai and they immediately hibernated in the trench.

On the slopes of the hill are the graves of the sacrificed brothers, and there are no stones to make the tomb door, so you can only cut a piece of wood to make a tombstone, and write the name so that you can identify it in the future.

Before, the devil's observation balloons and planes flew over to check, thinking that this hill was the cemetery of the Chinese army, so in addition to the heavy artillery bomb attack, there was little shelling.

Now I found out that it was not, and there were still Chinese soldiers resisting stubbornly, so the infantry artillery and mortars at close range were bombarded indiscriminately, and they did not dare to show their heads.

And the bunker at the foot of the hill, although the gun hole was grinned by the tank 37 gun, but it was still a good cover, and the Czech light machine guns of the big potatoes were set up in the gap, and the enemies in front were nailed to the ground.

Encountering this slightly high machine gun position, even if it is crawling on the ground, it is difficult to avoid the strafing of bullets, although in the abandoned trenches of the Seventh Company, there are still devils who are constantly being shot.

Seeing this, the devils were sure that they couldn't do it for the time being, and everyone was rushed by machine guns to a few trenches where it was easier to hide.

The cow screamed, this was not, but the strings of the cluster grenades, and after a few loud noises, a few piles of devils were crowded and hiding in the trenches, all of which were blown up to the sky by the cluster grenades that had been planted there in advance.

I'll go, this shock is really great, and the devils behind it were frightened all of a sudden, and looking at the comrades flying all over the sky, anyone will be shocked in their hearts.

Let's hurry back, in case there is an explosion under your feet, and you will fly into the sky, and fly directly back to your hometown in Japan, and see Amaterasu.

It turned out that Niu Gu and their seventh company made a game, first showed weakness, let the devil step forward, reached the preset position, drove the devil into the trap with a machine gun, and then made a big explosion at the bottom, and several pots served the devil's forward troops together at the same time to deter the follow-up troops.
