1183. Shoot while charging
Grenades are simpler and cheaper than grenades, and their effects are far better than grenades, except that the grenadier firing technology is required.
Hand-thrown grenades, ordinary soldiers can throw them to a distance of 50 meters, which is considered very good, and if they can hit the target more accurately from a distance of 50 meters, that is even more powerful, such a person, in the infantry class, is considered a very small number of talents.
You must know that this pound of M24 series grenades is usually thrown twenty or thirty meters, which is very good, not including throwing the target.
In the stage of the Anti-Japanese War, a large number of troops were equipped with a large number of grenadiers, and the elite 74th Army was not only equipped with a large number of infantry squads, but also had sufficient grenades.
Of course, compared to bullets, the cost of grenades or grenades is still much higher, they are consumables, bullets can also be reloaded, and grenades are basically disposable, and they are gone when they are exploded.
Therefore, it is the rich Central Army like the 74th Army that uses this kind of consumables regardless of the cost, although it is said that fighting a war is to burn money, but what should be burned still has to be burned, such as tonight.
The grenades of the Eighth Company rained down on the Japanese position, even at night, the accuracy was not enough, but the number was to make up, plus the Japanese flares helped.
This grenade attack hit the Japanese machine gun fire points everywhere, and just when the Japanese machine guns were unable to use their strength, the soldiers of the Eighth Company began to charge.
At a distance of two hundred meters, the eight companies in a straggler formation, three or four echelons, spread out to nearly 100 meters in width, and pressed over in black.
At this time, some rifles of the Japanese army with single-shot weapons could only shoot a few Chinese soldiers, and could not stop the advance of the large army.
However, the Japanese grenadiers have now begun to fire, and the grenades exploded in the charging ranks, and some soldiers were blown over, but the ones behind were fearless and moved forward bravely.
At this time, you can't retreat, if you retreat, not only will you be more dangerous, but it will also make the hard work and sacrifice of the whole company in vain, as a soldier, I also know this very well at this moment.
When they rushed to the 40-meter area, the enemy and us began to throw grenades at each other, and a line of fire and explosion rose from the position, and a large number of people fell to the ground in the grenade explosion.
In the trenches of the Japanese army, the space is small, and there is nowhere to hide, and every grenade explosion is fully kinetic energy released, and prefabricated fragments fly up, killing and injuring a large number of devils in the Japanese trenches.
Seeing this, the devil officer saw that it was too cost-effective, rather than hiding in the trench and killing a few people with a grenade, it was better to rush out all of them, and the casualty rate would be greatly reduced if both sides were killed together.
Therefore, under the leadership of the officers of the first defense position of the Japanese army, a large number of Japanese troops rushed out of the position one after another and carried out a counter-charge against the Chinese army.
However, the squad leaders of the Eighth Company were unwilling to give too many opportunities to let the devils pounce, and the submachine guns in their hands suddenly roared.
These squad leaders with rifles on their backs had an extra submachine gun in their hands, including Soviet-made Bobosha and American-made Chicago typewriters.
In the past, if this charge was successful, it was necessary to engage in trench warfare, so the Eighth Company prepared submachine guns and shell guns and other weapons for continuous close combat before the charge.
Originally, I was thinking of rushing into the submachine gun used in the enemy's trench, but at this moment, when I saw the devil taking the initiative to rush out and fight the stab, it would definitely be unkind, and the devil would have suffered it in advance.
The soldiers of the Eighth Company strictly maintained a straggler formation when charging, with one person four or five meters away from the left and right, and an echelon of about ten meters from the front and rear, in order to prevent the Japanese from throwing grenades and grenades and killing several people in one shot.
This kind of skirmish distance is defined according to the radius of the grenade, and in ordinary training, some recruits do not know why, even if they explain to them why they do this, but they are still not very clear, after all, most of them are children of farmers.
But the instructor team composed of the three dogs and their veterans, holding wooden sticks, saw those who did not keep a good distance, and saw the recruits who compressed the space of their teammates, they just went over with a stick.
You're welcome, the more fierce you are in training, the better it is for them, let them know what pain is and what is faceless, and then they will deeply remember these tactical actions, like a conditioned reflex, and strictly implement them on the real battlefield.
The Japanese army also saw the scattered formation of Chinese soldiers, hoping to suddenly kill a large number of dense people, to disperse the Chinese soldiers with a local numerical advantage, or even kill a large number of Chinese soldiers, and crack the charging tactics of the Chinese army.
But it backfired, but I didn't expect that in the crowd of the Chinese army, suddenly multiple submachine guns rang out, and suddenly like cutting leeks, harvesting the lives of devils.
In the face of a distance of twenty or thirty meters, the sudden density of submachine guns was enough to catch anyone off guard, and they couldn't even do a basic tactical action of lying down.
The Japanese originally wanted to use the dense crowd to break up the Chinese army, but they did not expect that the denser the crowd, the heavier the losses, although the bullet killing distance of the submachine gun was only 50 to 100 meters.
But at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, it can still penetrate the body of the devil like a rifle bullet, and the bullet with residual kinetic energy can also hurt the devil behind it twice.
In addition, the Eighth Company now uses two of the best submachine guns in the world at that time, the Soviet-made Bobosha and the American-made Thomson, which have a fast rate of fire, a large amount of ammunition, and a high lethality.
After this shuttle, more than 30 bullets instantly entered the crowd of devils, and the dozen or so submachine guns of the Eighth Company swept over with hundreds of bullets at once, and within a distance of twenty or thirty meters, the power had already expanded to the limit.
These team leaders ran out of magazines in an instant, quickly threw away the empty magazines with their right hands, replaced them with new magazines full of bullets, and then another round came.
Where could the soldiers of the Japanese army rushing out of the first defense position, that is, about half a squadron, withstand such a dense fire attack, and in an instant, they completely lost the strength to resist.
Most of the devils were knocked over on the ground, and the rest of the immortals were injured, not to mention the secondary organizational strength, most of the wounded soldiers were lying on the ground convulsive, screaming.
The first batch of charging soldiers of the Eighth Company ignored these devils on the ground, but rushed into the enemy's trench like a gust of wind.
The second and third groups of soldiers rushed over, and only then did they easily use their bayonets to kill the wounded soldiers on the ground, and then they also rushed into the enemy's trenches.
Once they were in the enemy's trenches, it was much easier, and after the hand-to-hand encounter, the Japanese infantry also rushed from the second defense to the first defense.
The machine guns and grenades in the back did not dare to fight this side, so the two sides could only enter the trenches for hand-to-hand combat, which was also the project that the Eighth Company was good at.
The specific details will not be repeated, the Eighth Company paid the price of nearly one platoon of casualties before taking the first defense of the Japanese army and holding this bridgehead, and the second defense of the Japanese army was also resisted by the Eighth Company.
In order to recapture the first defense, the Japanese army launched several counterattacks, all of which returned in front of the Eighth Company, leaving behind piles of corpses, and now the Japanese army does not even snatch back the corpses of their comrades.
