Chapter 1210: Third Squad, Start Fighting
The Japanese infantry attacked very resolutely, with 8 men on one side and 16 men on the other, and approached the hilltop position in two directions.
They had a lot of experience, and from the gunfire just now, they could already tell that there were not many defenders on the top of the mountain, and that there was no more smoke rising from the top of the mountain.
Through the shooting hole, the face of the old monkey who was observing the movement of the Japanese army was even more bitter.
These three Japanese squads turned out to be reinforced squads, and the light machine guns and grenadiers they were equipped with were not the two light machine guns and two grenadiers that a squad should have, but each squad was equipped with a light machine gun and a grenadier canister.
Except for the grenadier of the spearhead squad that was at the forefront, several people from the two squads behind him hid, and they were still hiding behind the light machine guns. Although they didn't see the grenadiers they were carrying, for veterans like Old Monkey, who had dealt with the Japanese army countless times, it meant that they had long-range attack firepower.
To tell the truth, if there were no grenadiers, don't look at the Japanese army of more than 40 people, but the three old monkeys have a semi-automatic rifle, a sniper rifle and a submachine gun with sufficient ammunition, it is a very complete fire team, and relying on the fortifications and the advantage of having a condescending terrain, it is completely possible to suppress more than 40 Japanese infantry in the valley without an inch, and even, as long as there is enough time, just the three of them can shoot the Japanese soldiers one by one in the valley.
However, when the Japanese army had grenadiers, even up to three, everything was different. For the three Chinese soldiers, any time they fired, they had to find a new position, otherwise, the grenades from the Japanese grenadiers would tear them to pieces.
Sandbags and rocks may be able to block rifle and light machine gun bullets, but they can't stop grenades thrown from high altitudes like grenades like small mortars.
In other words, the three light machine guns set up by the Japanese army were quite lively in conducting point-fire fire reconnaissance on various positions on the top of the mountain, but what made the three Chinese soldiers most scruple was the grenadier who hid behind the rocks and waited for the fire on the top of the mountain.
"Squad leader, if you and the potatoes are impressed, if you don't move, leave it to me." Lin Hao's calm voice came from the other end in the distance.
"Okay, potato, do you hear me, hit the devil that Lao Tzu is aiming at. Everyone be careful, shoot a few shots, and change the nest for Lao Tzu. The old monkey roared.
The Japanese army approached at a very fast pace, and as he spoke, he was no more than 50 meters away from the foot of the mountain, and the straight-line distance from the top of the mountain would not exceed 120 meters at most, and the earthy yellow figure was clearly visible in the stones and bushes.
The semi-automatic rifle of the recruit potato was the first to speak, "Bang bang... "Five shots in a row, almost without breath, knocked the two devils who rushed to the front to the ground.
At the same time, the old monkey's submachine gun also began to strafe, against the Japanese light machine gun that found the target turned the muzzle of the strafing, at the direction of the 16 Japanese soldiers with the largest number of attackers, swept away the remaining 30 rounds of ammunition in the drum in one breath, and regardless of his own results, the old monkey dragged the gun with one hand and quickly turned over and rolled away from his battle position, and then crawled to a depression ten meters away.
The veteran's prudence saved his life.
Before he could hold his head in his hands to dodge the possible ensuing grenade explosion, first a grenade exploded at a distance of only six or seven meters from him, no less powerful than a grenade, and the soil and grass roots exploded overwhelmingly on the old monkey, and then, five grenades flew over in a row, one farther than the old monkey who had already hidden, but the position where the old monkey had shot before was getting closer and closer, and the nearest grenade blew up a small crater in the land, It is never more than a meter away from the position where the old monkey was lying on his stomach ten seconds ago.
Obviously, the first few are just test firings, and the last few are the ones that can really kill people, and if the old monkey still stays in place, he will not die or be crippled at this time. The Japanese grenadiers have the name of the most hated type of machine gunner in the Chinese army, and they really don't cover it.
Not only the old monkey, but also the potato was attacked by the grenadiers, but because he was a single-shot rifle, he was only bombarded by two grenades. Obviously, the submachine gun of the old monkey was used as a machine gun fire point by the Japanese army, and it was taken care of by at least two grenadiers, not to mention, and three grenades were fired in one go.
"Potatoes, what's up?" The old monkey shook his head, which was a little dizzy from the sound of the loud explosion, and roared loudly.
"Phew, the dog's bomb is really accurate, and it makes me mud." The potato's angry voice came, making the old monkey's heart put down for the time being.
Lin Hao, who had been silent, didn't ask, and there was no need to ask. As long as he shoots, the grenadier of the little devil will die. The precision shooters in the infantry squad are specially trained by the independent regiment to deal with important targets such as Japanese grenadiers and light machine gunners, they are like hunters hiding in the dark, and what they harvest is always the most valuable prey.
The biggest reliance on the old monkey to muster all the courage to attack an infantry squad is not the terrain and fortifications, or the presence of Lin Hao. On the battlefield of Jiuguan, the accurate shooter who sniped two grenadiers more than 400 meters away alone has proved his strength.
The old monkey, who had refocused his gaze on the battlefield, grinned, and it was no wonder that the Japanese grenadiers fired six grenades at him as if they were as mad as the dead mother.
Although the 16 Japanese soldiers in his direction were each more than 2 meters apart, carefully maintaining their marching speed while relying on natural stones and other objects to avoid the attack from the hill as much as possible, at a distance of 120 meters, the strafing of more than 30 rounds of ammunition from the Suomi submachine gun in two seconds caused damage was comparable to that of a heavy machine gun.
At least four Japanese soldiers were hit by 9mm Mirug bullets, to be exact, they were hit by the modified standard Luge bullets of the Independent Regiment, although they were all 9mm standard, but the power of the 9mm submachine gun bullets redesigned and manufactured by Huamei Company at the suggestion of Liu Tuanzuo was far stronger than its originator.
Slightly different from the dummmy bullet, which is easily twisted and deformed, this 9mm bullet with a small amount of charge but enough to ensure a straight trajectory of 200 meters is hollow in the front, although the penetration becomes worse, but if it hits someone, it will be terrible.
The hollow front part will cause the warhead to expand after being blocked, making the wound several times larger than the warhead, and it will often get stuck in the body, causing greater tissue destruction and bleeding. The most terrible thing is that this kind of bullet is still a submachine gun bullet, as long as you are unfortunate enough to be shot, it is often not a one-shot shot.
The fallen Japanese soldiers may not have been hit to the vital point, they were all still rolling in the grass, but in the old monkey's opinion, they were already considered dead, and a large amount of blood loss would take their lives in five minutes. In other words, in less than five minutes, the huge wound is painful, and it can hurt them alive.
The Japanese were fierce and cruel, and no one stopped to pay attention to the four wounded soldiers, who were already certain to die, and resolutely continued to attack under the cover of the grenadiers that they had already spoken. It may be that in the first round of Chinese attacks, six casualties were too heavy, and the infantry responsible for covering the rear rushed out five more, basically making up for the losses just now, and the Japanese infantry involved in the attack was as high as 23 people.
Of course, that also meant that the Japanese had basically no infantry except for the 6 machine gunners and 6 grenadiers who were responsible for covering in the rear, and they basically poured out, and even three squad leaders participated in the attack.
The Japanese army, in fact, was also very helpless.
They don't have time.
If you don't work hard, maybe you won't have the opportunity to work hard in the future. Three light machine guns and three grenadiers are awesome to the small number of Chinese on the top of the mountain, but for the main forces of the Chinese, it is a slag, and the mortars equipped by them can blow them into parts from 1000 meters away.
Hundreds of meters away, the gunfire gradually thinned out, and there were almost few "onboard" roars, and the thick sense of crisis was like an invisible shackle, strangled around the necks of dozens of Japanese soldiers, and became tighter and tighter, making them extremely frightened.
The crisis of casualty of six companions in a row seemed to be insignificant under this inexplicable fear.
They had to rush to the ground as soon as possible, kill all the Chinese, and then flee.
The Japanese army's sense of crisis was accurate.
The front of Position No. 6, 800 meters away, was already full of Japanese troops.
With two heavy machine guns and eight light machine guns for cover, the "Banzai Charge" of hundreds of Japanese troops could probably crush the defensive line of an ordinary infantry battalion of the Nationalist army, or even two infantry battalions, but here, no.
Cen Changqing's second platoon and Liu Jinzuo's fire platoon had a total of 4 mortars, and since the Japanese machine gun fire point fire, they also shelled and suppressed at full speed, and in just 1 minute, the 4 mortars almost emptied all the remaining shells.
Then, all the mortars, including the ammunition men, took the imitation "Black Star" pistol for self-defense and went to the forward position, and even Liu Jinzuo, the commander of the fire platoon, picked up a semi-automatic rifle and did his old job.
The shells were empty, but the 20 or so shells killed all the two heavy machine guns and at least four light machine guns of the Japanese army, plus two grenadiers, and the machine gun fire points that the Japanese could still shoot were no longer as threatening to the position as before.
The Japanese could only rely on a few grenadiers for covering fire, and it was obvious that they could no longer suppress the fire on the positions as before.
But on the position of the second platoon, there are 3 light machine guns, two heavy machine gun types "MG42" and no less than six Suomi submachine guns, and the few remaining grenadiers of the Japanese army are not to say that they can be suppressed without scruples, at least two accurate shooters are staring at them, and there is already a grenadier who is not afraid to fire grenades at the Chinese position has been accurately shot, and he has only fired two grenades.
Despite this, there were still grenades thrown by Japanese grenadiers, and grenades kept exploding on the position, and from time to time soldiers snorted and fell down, but the pressure was still more than half gone.
How terrible was the "Hitler chainsaw", which was already almost at full fire? The recruits who have not experienced the Battle of the Great Wall can be regarded as a real witness.
The two MG42s, which fired more than 20 consecutive rounds of fire, needed to change their barrels, and the fire paused for three or four seconds, but the formation of a total of more than 800 rounds of ammunition formed a terrible barrage, which firmly blocked the Japanese army's tidal charge 70 meters away from the position, and at least seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers fell under their strafing.
Combined with the full fire of the other guns of the second platoon and the fire platoon, in just three minutes, a third of the hundreds of crazy Japanese troops fell. Whether they are charging forward and one after another, or falling to the ground to dodge, as long as they enter the fire range of 100 meters, they are basically either injured or killed.
There are no exceptions.
