Chapter 449: Machine Gun Support (Page 1/1)
The offensive and defensive battles of the second-line positions, from the offensive to the present, in terms of the intensity of the engagement and the strength invested by the Japanese army, the close-range engagement in Zhang Wei's trenches was very tragic, and the infantry platoon blocked in the trenches was the only remaining living force of Zhou Pu's battalion near the broken section, and the troops of the other first-line trenches were busy resisting the Japanese attack and were difficult to come over for reinforcements.
The grenade of the Japanese army just now scared the brothers in this platoon half to death, and the Czechs in front of them were fighting against the crooked handles of the devils.
The people at the back were busy shooting grenades and grenades, and who would have thought that a grenade would be thrown over, and the grenade fell in the pile, and the few veterans who had already been there were either operating machine guns or shooting gun grenades, and all they called for were technical weapons and support fire weapons, and they couldn't free up their hands at all.
The recruits with rifles had never seen this battle, and they were all stupid, thanks to the timely reaction of the platoon commander of this platoon, he threw the grenade back, otherwise with this 91-style grenade, half of the people in the platoon could be reimbursed.
The infantry platoon commander gasped and fell into the trench, and the veterans around him couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, after all, this is a life-saving thing, the grenade will explode if it is one step late, and when it is thrown out, it will also explode in the air, and the ground will not be touched.
The infantry platoon commander reluctantly replied to the veteran with a smile that looked worse than crying, and then continued to direct the battle, a completely knee-jerk reaction just now.
Before entering the army, in the training camp of the Guangxi Teaching Brigade, grenade back-throwing was a daily training subject, and there were incidents of blowing up and injuring people, and the infantry platoon commander was a student in training at that time, and when he saw this smoking grenade, he instinctively grabbed it and threw it out.
Afterwards, in addition to rejoicing, this platoon commander was more afraid, and the way to eliminate the fear was to focus on the current battle.
The grenade throwback is just a small episode in the front-line trenches, and in the trenches, there is only this platoon of blocking troops that Zhou Pu's battalion can use.
The trench was narrow, and the Czech light machine guns in front of this platoon were firing at each other with the Japanese army's crooked light machine guns, and there were two 79 rifles next to them, and the light machine gunners kept pulling the trigger, tilting the bullets to the Japanese troops in front, and at this time, the point fire had lost its effect.
There was a crisp sound, the Czech light machine gun suddenly stopped firing, the shooter lay on the machine gun, the steel helmet on his head exposed a large blood hole, blood flowed straight out, and another bullet hit a soldier behind the machine gunner, fell to the ground, and was also killed on the spot.
The 38 rifle bullet that hit the machine gunner hit the machine gunner's M35 helmet from the front, bursting the machine gunner's head, and the blood and brains were stained with the body of the Czech light machine gun.
"The Venerable, the Venerable!" The Nationalist troops in the trenches shouted, the body of the Czech light machine gunner was dragged down by the soldiers behind, and the rifleman next to the machine gunner took the initiative to take the Czech type covered in blood and continued to shoot......
The fighting in the trenches was carried out like this, the forces of both sides were constantly consumed in the attack, the national army used gun grenades and grenades to attack the Japanese army, and the Japanese army threw a large number of grenades, and the explosions continued to explode in the trenches occupied by the two armies.
The infantry platoon of the Zhou Pu battalion, which was holding on near the breakthrough, resisted and consumed the Japanese army, but it was also constantly consumed, and the corpses were dragged down from the trenches.
At the breach, the fire from the 82nd mortar platoon of the teaching brigade carried out a partition fire in front of the position, and the shells smashed in front of the position continuously.
The Japanese army would not lightly give up the opportunity to attack and expand the results of the battle, and the Japanese assault troops, who were hiding from the artillery, had no choice but to launch an extremely risky attack, each time with a group of troops, or even a sporadic single soldier, taking risks and rushing into the breakthrough.
The Japanese launched a madness, it was quite crazy, one or several soldiers shouted on board, rushed forward after the mortar shells fell and exploded, hoping to use the fire to rush in, the Japanese launched several rounds of such breakthroughs, and nearly one detachment broke in.
Of course, there were also almost equal numbers of Japanese soldiers killed outside the trenches, and the teaching brigade had only one mortar platoon and two 82 mortars, and it was already rare to organize this kind of shooting, and it was impossible to completely block it and not let a single Japanese soldier into it.
The Japanese troops of one detachment were not a small support for the Japanese troops who broke into the trenches, and the Japanese troops who broke through only had more than two detachments, and every soldier, every pawn, every gun and bullet was very valuable and could come in handy.
Moreover, in trench warfare, the Japanese army with higher individual quality obviously took advantage, and the combat effectiveness of one soldier was better than that of several new recruits of the Zhou Pu battalion who lacked combat experience.
The battle situation on the side of the teaching brigade was the same as before, Zhang Wei and the officers and soldiers on the right side of the entire teaching brigade position were all attracted by the fierce battle of the friendly position, and closely observed the movement of the friendly army in front of the offensive and defensive battle of the second-line position.
Except for the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd squadrons and the mortar platoon, the rest of the officers and men of the teaching brigade almost did not fire a single shot.
Zhang Wei was very worried about the battle situation of Zhou Pu's battalion, after the mortar platoon fired, the Japanese offensive outside the trench was effectively contained, but some of the Japanese troops had already broken through, and the Japanese troops outside were still desperately drilling into the artillery fire, and they were determined to enter it.
If it goes on like this, its own mortar support can only be containment, and the covering firepower of the two guns is already the limit, and the Japanese army will rush in in groups, and after a long time, more and more troops will break through, and the first-line positions of the friendly forces will still have to be finished.
The only way is to increase the support, the mortar platoon has done its best, and on the road between the position of the teaching brigade and the Zhou Pu battalion, there is still a platoon of troops stationed, and the artillery fire cannot be increased.
Zhang Wei can mobilize heavy firearms in addition to soldiers, that is, heavy machine guns, Zhang Wei will not directly send infantry squadrons to reinforce friendly forces to launch an assault, and now on the second line position of the brigade, the three heavy machine gun platoons of the heavy fire squadron have not moved.
In order to reinforce the friendly forces, Zhang Wei ordered a platoon of heavy machine guns to be deployed on the road position, and ordered a platoon of heavy machine guns to change from facing the enemy to the enemy, transferring the machine guns to the right side, and using the heavy machine gun fire of two platoons to support and flank the friendly forces!
