A distance of 300 meters is the best shooting distance for the AK47, but for the German-style MP40 in the hands of the Japanese army, it is undoubtedly beyond the reach of the whip, because the MP40 only has an effective range of 100 meters, which is too much worse.

From a professional point of view, the MP40 is undoubtedly a good gun, with a folded body that is only 62 centimeters long. It is more than 20 centimeters shorter than the fixed butt weapons of all countries, and is very suitable for the use of armored troops, paratroopers and mountain troops, especially in cramped carriages and aircraft cabins.

For paratroopers, the MP40 is short and strong, with heavy firepower, which is very suitable for parachute use. In the early days of World War II, the German army carried out a series of airborne operations on the Western Front, including air raids on Belgian fortresses, raids on the Netherlands, and large-scale airborne landings on the island of Crete. For armored soldiers, the short MP40 can be folded and placed in a small compartment. For mountain infantry, since mountain warfare usually does not have too far between the enemy and us, the submachine gun with lower weight and better firepower is very suitable for their needs.

Compared to the AK47, the MP40 is simply not too reckless, and its shooting accuracy is much higher than that of the AK47, but this qiē is built on the effective range of 100 meters, beyond this range, the MP40 is scum.

The ingenuity of the airborne brigade lies in the fact that they control this distance at 300 meters, and if the Japanese army wants to prevent the weapons in their hands from turning into burning sticks, they can only abandon the protection of tanks and advance the attack distance to 100 meters, but in the face of the thundering bullets of the expeditionary force, this is obviously impossible. Therefore, the submachine guns equipped with a large number of Japanese troops basically did not sound, and the battlefield was still the protagonist of the 38 big cover, of course, as time went by, the Japanese army also began to set up light and heavy machine guns.

But the real shootout didn't last long, the seedlings in the rice fields and the dark night became the best cover for both sides, and the casualties on both sides would not be too great, especially the expeditionary force, they also had a trench to protect, it was too difficult to hurt them.

The Japanese army quickly changed its tactics and gave full play to their artillery superiority, all kinds of mountain artillery, field artillery, mortars, and 92 infantry guns were all fired, and the shells were smashed on the positions of the expeditionary force as if they were not paying for money, and the mud set off was dozens of meters high.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the fields were littered with corpses, and it was obvious that the round of shelling had caused great casualties to the airborne brigade. Those who are still alive have also turned into clay figures one by one, rolling and wriggling in the fields, and the wolves are too bad to do it.

"Are there any gasps?"

"Hurry up and get up for Lao Tzu, the devil is going to attack!"

A shout began to sound on the battlefield, more clay figures began to move, and the shouts and curses greeting the little devil's family also rang out.

"Brigadier Commander, where are you?"

"Where are you, chief of staff? You're not dead, are you? ”

Li Chunqiao, the head of the regiment, began to call nervously.

A clay figure climbed to a bomb crater in front of him, picked up a handful of water from it and wiped it on his face, and then replied: "Call the soul, Lao Tzu is still alive and well." ”

Immediately, Chief of Staff Tang Hao was also turned out of the dirt by the guards, spit out a few mouthfuls of mud and sand and began to scold, obviously unharmed.

Li Chunqiao hurriedly crawled forward and crawled all the way over, "Brigade seat, we will suffer too much if we continue to fight like this, the casualties are huge, and the artillery fire of the little devils is too fierce, I think it is better to retreat to the city to fight with them in the streets?" ”

"Retreat, in the big fart of Lashio, the devils are waiting for us to enter the city, and the artillery fire will be boiled in a pot, so we will fight here, everyone will be scattered in the squad and platoon, dig individual bunkers, and block the attack on all fronts."

"It's a brigade!"

"Heralds, pass my orders, take the squad and platoon as a unit, and all disperse"

Soon after the artillery attack, the Japanese began to attack on a large scale, of course, taking advantage of the darkness to advance forward, and by the time the officers and men of the airborne brigade found out, the distance had already been advanced to about 100 meters by them.

The situation of hand-to-hand combat has been formed, and the sound of gunfire like fried beans suddenly rang out.

The Japanese army did not seem to be in a hurry to advance, and at this distance suppressed the airborne brigade with absolutely strong firepower, and every time they found a muzzle flame, dense bullets swept over like raindrops, suppressing the fire of the expeditionary force, and then the grenade flew over, and the effect was obviously good.

Half an hour passed quickly, and in the newly dug trench, Chief of Staff Tang Hao swept out a shuttle of bullets, quickly moved to Liu Xianwei's side, and said urgently: "Brigade seat, the devil is consuming our ammunition, and we will not hold out until dawn if we continue to fight like this." ”

Liu Xianwei clicked two single points, retracted his body into the trench, knelt on one knee, pulled out a magazine from his waist, and said while changing: "What can you do?" ”

Tang Hao said: "Don't fight, wait for the devils to get close, and fight with them with bayonets." ”

"Fight bayonets? Do you know how many troops the devil has? ”

"I just counted the suppressive firepower of the devils, and it's almost the same team configuration, but there are still some Burmese puppet soldiers, it should be Aung San's people, by the way, what the hell do you say this Aung San is doing, and he said that he is going to surrender, and now his people are on the battlefield and are fighting with us, what is this?"

"I guess Aung San was charged by the Japanese army, his original intention to surrender should be true, don't talk about this, I think your construction is not bad, this devil's cannonballs and grenades are really fucking annoying, so they don't have this advantage, and fighting is our strength, just do it! Herald, and Lao Tzu called Li Chunqiao over. ”

Soon, Li Chunqiao bent over with an AK47 and ran all the way from the trenches, "Brigade seat, counselor, what's the matter?" ”

As soon as Liu Xianwei told him about the decision just now, Li Chunqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, I haven't seen blood with a bayonet for a long time, I really hope to kill him!" ”

Liu Xianwei connected his fingers and said: "There is no problem with happiness, but if you lose, you are ready to come to see me with your head raised, and also, I and the chief of staff are going to the Second Regiment to have a look, and I will leave it to you here, I will leave it for you in the guard battalion, why don't you need me to teach you?" ”

"Yes, Lvza, don't worry, I promise to do this group of bitches to raise a crying dad and call mother!"

"Alright, get out of here!" Liu Xianwei waved his hand, and Li Chunqiao hurriedly trotted away.

Handing the gun in his hand to the guards beside him, Liu Xianwei pulled his already undignified military uniform, wiped the water droplets on his face, and waved at Tang Hao: "Chief of Staff, take your people and go back to the city, maybe Bo Naiwen can explain to us, why did their people appear opposite us?" ”
