Chapter 220: Flying Steel Nails

"Put the devil in!"

The Japanese troops in front of the position of the preparatory battalion continued to advance under the cover of grenadiers and light machine guns, although they paid a lot of price, but the rifles and light machine guns of the preparatory battalion still failed to completely block them, the two heavy machine guns in the position were thrown grenades, the heavy machine gun company of the friendly army was the same as the infantry, lacking the necessary education and training, the heavy machine guns gave the Japanese a lot of damage at the beginning, but they did not transfer their positions in time, reduced the frequency of firing, and were almost reimbursed by the Japanese grenadiers, Zhang Wei asked them to temporarily cease fire, Wait until you get closer and then fight together.

The Japanese assault group in front of the formation has entered the distance of 50 meters in front of the formation, shooting while marching, the assault group is followed by the light machine gun group and the grenadier group, they are slightly lagging behind, and have not yet entered the bomb throwing distance, the Japanese army continues to speed up the attack, and do their best to attack the position of the preparatory battalion, as the distance closes, more and more Japanese soldiers die from bullets, but in the eyes of the Japanese army, this is the price that must be paid.

In the trenches, the soldiers of the preparatory battalion had already prepared grenades, and a company of six grenadiers was placed in a row in the trenches, ready to fire. In the mortar position behind the trench, the soldiers of the mortar platoon adjusted the firing of the artillery, stood at the muzzle of the gun with the shells in hand, and stood ready to fire, on the whole front, the preparatory battalion was in the center, and the Japanese attack speed was the fastest, the Japanese army had formed a sign of convex forward in the middle, and the friendly troops on both flanks were making full resistance, and the progress of the Japanese attack was not as large as the attack on the preparatory battalion line.

"Herald, relay my order again, based on my signal, grenade canisters are all on my beckon!" Zhang Wei held a grenade with a steel nail attached to it, and while opening the cover of the bullet, he asked the herald to repeat the order in the trench, the gunfire on the battlefield was too loud, to ensure the effective transmission of the order, only to tell it a few more times, on Zhang Wei's side, about a squad of soldiers of a company also put down the rifle in their hands, held a grenade, and prepared to throw, Zhang Wei and their bombs were the signal to attack.

More and more soldiers took out grenades with steel nails attached, and the firepower in the position of the preparatory battalion was reduced for a time, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to make a rapid assault, and the preparatory battalion did not block it, and the more and more people came, the greater the casualties, and more and more Japanese troops entered the distance of 50 meters in front of the position, and Zhang Wei could clearly see the faces of the Japanese soldiers and the howling command of the Japanese officer in the trench.

"Attack! Speed up your assault on enemy positions and rush in to take them out with a white-knuckle assault! ”

The Japanese officer held the command knife and urged the soldiers to attack forward, less than 50 meters away from the trench in front, as long as more troops were thrown over, the faster the speed of breaking through the position, one by one the Japanese soldiers shouted to kill, and charged forward with rifles, the Japanese grenadier fire weakened, the light machine gun followed up the assault infantry, and the firepower of suppressive fire began to decrease, and the attacking Japanese army seemed to be about to rush into the defender's position.

Zhang Wei saw the Japanese army rushing closer and closer, at first it was the striker, and now the number of Japanese troops within the bomb throwing distance has increased, and it is closer when leaving the fire, Zhang Wei raised the grenade in his hand, the grenade was wrapped in an earthy yellow legging cloth, and there were seven or eight steel nails in it, Zhang Wei raised the grenade, and the soldiers of the surrounding squad were also preparing to drop the bomb, adding up to nearly 100 foreign nails.

"Attack!"

A Japanese squad leader charged, closely following the front-line assault group, put away the command knife, took out a pistol to command, to this distance, and then brandished the saber is looking for death, the Japanese squad leader has not been trained by the katana to become a fool, has not rushed into the trench, now is not the time to use a knife.

Zhang Wei held the grenade tightly, nearly half of the Japanese troops attacking the preparatory battalion had reached the bomb throwing distance, at this time in the past, the troops had already greeted the grenade, Zhang Wei in order to enhance the lethality, the risk was delayed for a while, after a Japanese soldier who rushed to the front was knocked over by a light machine gun, Zhang Wei pulled the grenade fire.

"One, two!"

"Three!"

After a delay of a few seconds, Zhang Wei used all his strength to throw the grenade with steel nails attached, the black warhead of the long-handled grenade was tied with steel nails, the grenade was thrown along an arc, flew over the Japanese striker, and then fell heavily, after Zhang Wei threw the grenade, the soldiers around him also threw the grenade in their hands after the delay, and the twelve grenades were thrown out before the bullet thrown by Zhang Wei landed.

"Fuck it!" Zhang Wei yelled.

The twelve grenades were followed by the whole battalion's bombing, and excluding the machine gun and grenadier groups of the preparatory battalion, as well as some riflemen who could not spare their feet, more than 200 people threw an equal number of grenades from the positions of the preparatory battalion and smashed into the Japanese troops.

After the 0.17-kilogram TNT warhead exploded, shrapnel burst into the ranks of the Japanese army with eight additional steel nails, and the steel nails and shrapnel flew indiscriminately, killing and wounding nearly 10 Japanese soldiers, and some Japanese soldiers dropped their weapons and wailed wildly in the ranks.

As soon as the leader of the Japanese squad at the forefront noticed the strangeness of the explosion of the grenade thrown by the Chinese army, a black grenade appeared in the sky, and before he could stop the impact, a large number of grenades that fell into the Japanese army exploded one after another.

The explosion of the "boom boom" grenade made up a series of explosions, and those who didn't know thought it was a mortar firing rapidly, more than half of the more than 200 grenades were attached to steel nails, and all the steel nails were tied to the warhead, and a small number of the grenades thrown were M24 long-handled mines of the original German factory, and the rest were mostly domestically made Gongzao grenades, which were similar in type, and the soldiers of the preparatory battalion basically threw them into the range of 30 to 50 meters, that is, the standard grenade grenade greeting distance.

Explosion, violent explosion, shrapnel of the grenade and bound Western steel nails flew around, mixed together to form a terrifying killing effect, the lethality of each grenade was greatly improved, the Japanese squad leader was still holding a pistol in his hand, only felt a dark in front of his eyes, severe pain in his chest and back, and the most terrible thing was that there was a steel nail in his eye, and then, another explosion completely ended him.

More than 200 grenades, nearly 1,000 steel nails, exploded in the Japanese army in an instant, after the grenade exploded, most of the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and those who were killed on the spot were quite happy, and the worst thing was that those who were injured were either pierced through the chest by steel nails or had steel nails stuck in their heads, and some were inserted with several steel nails up and down their bodies, not counting the shrapnel produced by the grenade itself.

The severe pain made them give up resistance, dropped their guns and fell to the ground, wailing and rolling, which can be called a life and death. With the addition of those shrapnel, the Japanese troops who attacked the front of the position were killed and wounded almost 60 people in less than a minute, the Japanese attack formation was reasonable, and the spacing between individual soldiers could strictly implement the provisions of the infantry drill code.

"Hit!"

After the explosion, the Japanese stopped the assault and began to retreat with the wounded soldiers who could still be saved, and the preparatory battalion finished throwing grenades, mortars, grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns to form a second line of fire.

"Don't let the little devil run away!" The soldiers in the position shouted, the Japanese army held the wounded soldiers who could still move, and retreated vigorously, preparing the battalion to let go of this opportunity, all kinds of firearms began to hit hard, mortar shells and grenades formed a second round of explosive firearms, killing and wounding the retreating Japanese soldiers, light and heavy machine guns as a fill, killing and wounding the Japanese soldiers in a direct way.

After a fierce fight, the Japanese army left another twenty corpses, the Japanese army reacted quickly, the grenade exploded violently and stopped advancing, the survivors in front of the battle pulled the wounded soldiers and retreated, and the Japanese troops who did not enter the killing distance stopped advancing under the command of Jun Cao and opened fire to cover the withdrawal of the troops in front, so the fire strike after the preparatory battalion was not very lethal, and the Japanese army's tactical actions were executed quite quickly, without large-scale chaos and rout.
