Chapter 307: Dilemma

But the sub-shooter who was temporarily caught by Li Ziyuan would not add ammunition to this crooked machine gun, which was difficult to handle in itself. was urged by Li Ziyuan to get into a hurry first, either the magazine was not pressed properly, or the bullet cover plate was not tightly buckled, and the machine gun was often jammed.

Li Ziyuan, who temporarily grabbed a deputy shooter, not only did the crooked handle in his hand not increase the rate of fire, but because of the unskilled second shooter, the continuity of firepower could not be guaranteed at all. When used on his own, the rate of fire basically did not change much.

Faced with this situation, Li Ziyuan was also very helpless, even if this crooked machine gun is a veteran, it is not easy to get it if it has not undergone long-term training, let alone a recruit who has no experience at all? Looking at the young warrior beside him, the more nervous he was, the more he was in a hurry. The more he was in a hurry, the more he couldn't figure it out, and Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and do it himself.

Li Ziyuan chose this crooked handle at the beginning, not because of its excellent performance, but because the shooter of this machine gun died by his side. In fact, the crooked handle machine gun has a high gun frame and a high line of fire, and in the case that the other party has a sniper, even if the accuracy is high and the recoil is small, it is definitely not Li Ziyuan's best choice.

It's just that Li Ziyuan had no other choice at the beginning, and several other Czech and Belgian machine guns were too far away at that time. If you use these machine guns, I'm afraid that Li Ziyuan will be nailed to the ground by the opponent's snipers before he can get it. Now Li Ziyuan is as big as a wild man for this crooked machine gun.

Originally, the crooked machine gun in Li Ziyuan's hand was the backbone of the machine guns he was currently having. However, in terms of the power of the ammunition used, as well as the overall performance, it is inferior to the Madsen machine gun equipped by the opponent. Now it is impossible to give full play to the continuity of firepower, and it will suffer even more in the course of fire.

The opponent's machine gun is fed with magazines, and as long as there is a pressed magazine, one shooter can use it completely. Even experienced shooters can't even tell when it's time to change magazines. But the firepower in the middle of his side has been suspended for too long, and he can't talk about suppressing the opponent at all.

It should be said that although Tsuruta Numan is a little stubborn, he is still quite eye-catching in the weaponry of this advancing team. The machine guns equipped for this advance team were not selected, and although the first two advance teams were equipped with long range and high accuracy, they were also full of weight.

When there are no horses to follow up, eight people are needed to serve them, and they can only be carried in shifts to ensure combat effectiveness. Movement in the mountains was definitely a heavy strain on an army, especially a small unit with a small size, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun took up a lot of personnel.

From the weapons captured in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he selected the Madsen light machine gun, which was equipped with a soft heavy machine gun mount and could be used as a heavy machine gun if necessary. Although this light machine gun is heavier than other light machine guns used by the Chinese army, although it is heavier.

However, the Danes' sophisticated manufacturing process and the use of high-quality steel made the action extremely reliable, and the rate of fire also surpassed that of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. The sophisticated manufacturing process also makes the accuracy quite good. When firing at the Type 92 heavy machine gun, everyone was also half a catty against eight taels.

The most important thing is the pickiness of the bullet, which is not as high as the Czech machine gun. At least the captured bullets were not needed, and the chamber had to be closed one by one before the Czech machine gun could be used. In this way, this advance team achieved a unified caliber in the caliber of rifle machine gun ammunition and reduced the burden on the troops.

And most importantly, in addition to being equipped with a bipod, this light machine gun can also be equipped with a tripod to be used as a heavy machine gun. This tripod can be adjusted quickly, and a person can carry it on his back without having much impact on the person's movements.

And when used as a heavy machine gun, the overall weight is much lighter than that of ordinary heavy machine guns. The rate of fire is not slower than that of the 92 heavy machine gun, and although the firing range is not as good as that of the 92 heavy machine gun, it is enough for mountain combat. The 30-round magazine also has more ammunition than the Czech and Belgian machine guns, which are the most used by the Chinese army, and the barrel can also be replaced if necessary.

Although it is necessary to equip one more person and carry a gun carriage used in the state of a heavy machine gun. However, it is still less than half of the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun crew. This frees up more motorized infantry to be used in front-line operations. It is also very important that this machine gun is much easier to train than a heavy machine gunner.

These Madsen machine guns were imported from Chongqing at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War to make up for the lack of domestic production capacity, and what could not meet the consumption of the war was not the shoddy products imitated by domestic arsenals. They are the latest models of this machine gun, and their performance is quite good. If these machine guns were given to Li Ziyuan, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The combination of light and heavy machine guns for this advance team made the firepower sufficient to meet the needs without affecting the overall mobility of the troops. In this way, it is also possible to increase the firepower of this advance force with an establishment of only 120 men as much as possible under the condition that the size of the force is limited.

The hand made by Tsuruta Numan has formed the current somewhat strange situation. The Japanese army, which was supposed to use a six-five-caliber crooked handle machine gun, now uses the seventy-nine Madsen machine gun that the Chinese army is equipped with. And Li Ziyuan, who was supposed to use the 79 machine gun, is now using the Japanese army's crooked handle machine gun.

Except for the Southern submachine guns, the rest of the rifles of the Japanese troops on the mountain were all Czech or Belgian goods. In the Eighth Route Army under the mountain, there are quite a few Type 38 rifles. The weapons used by the two armies have completely turned around 180 degrees on this battlefield.

But at the moment, Li Ziyuan is really holding these three machine guns that are extremely accurate, and there is really no way to form a cross-fire machine gun. The Japanese troops in the mountains, it seemed that everyone was trained to use such machine guns. It took a lot of effort to knock out a machine gun crew. Two people will come up right away, and they can quickly take over the shooter's position.

Each time, he knocked out a machine gun crew, but the machine gun would be revived in the shortest possible time, and it would roar again. If He Huizhang is here, maybe Li Ziyuan still has a chance to completely destroy these three machine guns. But the problem is that He Huizhang is not in his own team at the moment.

For others, playing with grenadiers is far less fascinating than He Huizhang. A veteran who wanted to knock out the Japanese machine gun missed both grenades when he picked up the grenadier, but he was killed on the spot when he was hit by a bullet from the mountain. The firepower of the Japanese rifle machine guns was extremely difficult to suppress Li Ziyuan.

Li Ziyuan, who is currently trapped in the depression, is now looking forward to the Japanese troops on the mountain rushing down, at least he still has a little chance to fight in close combat. Despite fighting bayonets, their own troops may not be able to take advantage of much. If you just confront each other here, you can only suffer by yourself.

The gap in the training level of the two sides is really too big. The air has the advantage of troops, but there is always no way to take the other side. But the problem is that the opponent on the mountain is calmer than him. No matter how Li Ziyuan teased, he just didn't come down the mountain to charge, but only suppressed him with fire on the hillside.

In this case, Li Ziyuan not only suffered extremely much. The most important thing is whether there are Japanese troops coming around. If there is, you are stuck here, that is, you can't beat it, and you can't withdraw it. It is easy to be wrapped in dumplings by the Japanese army and eaten them completely in one bite.

The Japanese troops on the hillside were not in a hurry at all, but Li Ziyuan under the mountain was almost helpless in the face of the rampant Japanese troops who did not take themselves or even the surrounding troops seriously at all. Unless he had to risk the destruction of all the battalions he was mentioning, or collapsing to be exact.

Now Li Ziyuan can only put his last hope on Liu Lianming, who is still unknown. The question is where Liu Lianming, this kid, has gone now. What the fuck, it's been more than 20 minutes since the gunshots rang out here, why hasn't this guy shown up yet?

It's just that Li Ziyuan, who is full of anxiety at the moment, doesn't know that this advance team is equipped with four machine guns, and it is also equipped with three grenadiers. It's just that when they were airborne, because the Japanese army adopted the tactics of dropping people and weapons separately when they were airborne. There were several weapons packs for the most important airdrop weapons, which were never found after the advance team landed.

Although the grenadier cartridge was found, the grenadier was not found. Of the four Madsen machine guns equipped, only three of them were found. A third of them failed to find their own weapons and equipment and had to fight with a portable pistol. Moreover, only two-thirds of the spare ammunition used in the three machine guns found were found.

After all, this advance team is not a professional paratrooper unit, and the Japanese army also lacks transport aircraft for airdrop. The Japanese army was anxious to transfer this advance force in Changzhi to fight in the Taihang Mountains, and dispatched bombers used at Yuncheng Airport to carry out air raids on the rear.

At the same time, because of the insufficient number of aircraft, coupled with the hasty dispatch. In addition to mountain warfare, the requirements for the airdrop itself are high, which makes the effect of the airdrop quite unsatisfactory. After the advance team landed in the air, it took only half a day to gather and search for weapons.

If all the weapons used by this Japanese advance team are fully equipped, Li Ziyuan's current situation will be even more difficult. At least he's in the depression, it's not as simple as not being able to show his head. The combination of machine gun and sniper with grenadier canister, with the quality of the Japanese army on the mountain, it is impossible for Li Ziyuan to stop hiding.

The reason why the Japanese lieutenant on the mountain had not launched a counterattack was because the five light machine guns in Li Ziyuan's hands were only temporarily suppressed. But because of the lack of grenadiers, it could not be completely destroyed. Five machine guns now occupy the terrain and can be suppressed from a high position.

But if you launch a counterattack yourself, then under the opponent's five crossfire, you will be far from taking advantage of it like now. There are only more than 100 people on their own, and there are more than 300 people on the other side. Although he has nothing to worry about, the problem is that once the casualties are too large, Tsuruta Shaoza himself can't explain it.

This lieutenant knew how much attention he attached to this advance team. From the allocation of weapons to the selection of personnel, he single-handedly selected them. He also drew up the entire training plan himself, and even used his connections to find the upper echelons of the military department and let this advance team receive parachute training. If the casualties are too large, the furious Tsuruta Shaoza may not go crazy.

You know, the paratroopers are still a completely new branch of the Japanese army. Training a paratrooper is costly, and it costs far more than a qualified infantryman. Even on the Nanyang battlefield, the number of paratroopers invested by the Japanese army was not very large. Letting a reconnaissance unit parachute down, Tsuruta Numansu's determination is not insignificant.
