Chapter 408: Confrontation (Page 1/1)

In front of the position of the second squadron, most of the Japanese troops rushing to the front line were swept down, and three ZB37 heavy machine guns with a rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute, each heavy machine gun knocked out a half-cartridge box of ammunition, and splashed 79 caliber Czech-made light pointed bullets on the attacking Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops who attacked the positions of the 2nd Squadron suffered heavy losses, with nearly thirty killed and many more wounded. The attacking unit on the right was hit hard.

Judging from the battle situation on the front line, it is obvious that the defenders deliberately deceived the firepower, putting their men closer and then firing continuously, of course he has seen this kind of fighting?

It's just that he saw more in the early days of the war, when the elite of the Chinese army was still there, but as the war progressed, the intensity of the battles he encountered was declining, and most of the Chinese troops would fire their guns indiscriminately in the battle, exposing machine gun fire in advance.

On the contrary, the combat capability of the Chinese army that he encountered today was not weaker than that of the elite Chinese army he fought in the early days.

The Japanese troops attacking the position of the 2nd Squadron on the right were forced to stop the assault due to the sudden fire attack, stopped on the spot, and started a battle with the 2nd Squadron, and the open ground was littered with the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers and the wounded soldiers who moved.

At this time, the battle on the left had not yet begun.

In view of the thwart attack on the right, Takeda ordered the infantry artillery to move forward. Directly bombarded the heavy fire of the 2nd Squadron, and ordered the Japanese troops attacking the position on the left to accelerate the attack, and the whole line was opened, and the battle on the right side should be met.

The heavy machine guns of the 2nd Squadron fought fiercely for a while, and soon the 92nd infantry guns fell in front of and behind the position, and the heavy machine gunners were forced to stop firing, constantly shifting the machine guns, and firing short bursts, and the position of the 2nd Squadron was dusty again, and the two Japanese infantry guns advancing carried out suppressive fire unconventionally, covering the position of the 2nd Squadron with explosive shells and shrapnel shells, and the Japanese soldiers who fired at the 2nd Squadron launched a surprise attack again.

92 infantry artillery, the Japanese army is usually used for the national army light and heavy machine guns to carry out point attacks, and today's use of the method is focused on the coverage of the surface, the use of explosive shells and shrapnel for the infantry, in order to reinforce Kunlun Pass and carry a large number of shells to the first brigade of infantry artillery squad gunners have plenty of room to play, 92 infantry guns, but really in line with the identity of a "howitzer".

In the command post of the second squadron, Mu Chao lowered his body and spit out the dirt in his mouth, and the tremors around him kept coming, everything came from the shelling, one after another, and the position of the second squadron was bombarded by mountain artillery.

"Squadron leader, the devil is coming up, the artillery is fierce, it's hard to stop!" The deputy squadron Zhang, who was holding a shell gun, ran to Mu Chao's side and shouted into his ear.

"How are the brothers on the front line?" Mu Chao asked in an equally loud voice.

"It's not good, the heavy machine guns can't be hit, the devils can't shoot it, and there are shotguns, and now it's all up to the brothers on the front line to hold on." The second squadron now relies on rifles, light machine guns, and grenadier grenades in the hands of the infantry.

The artillery fire made the infantry unable to raise their heads, and the Japanese heavy machine guns and riflemen suppressed the roll call.

The soldiers of the second squadron did not even have a good hand in using their guns, and the best equipment in the hands of the front-line infantry was the curved firearms of grenadiers and grenades.

The position was dusty by Japanese shells, and it was difficult for the Japanese to counteract after hiding in the trenches and firing, and grenades and grenades were now the main fire output of the 2nd Squadron.

The deputy squadron zhang bowed his head again and said, "Squadron leader, do you want to send a signal corps to the captain for help?" ”

Mu Chao shook his head decisively: "No, now at the beginning, it doesn't take long to receive fire support, what is this, you go and take the artillery squad directly under the squadron, gather together, and fight the first-line infantry of the devils, they bomb us, we can also bomb the dog." ”

"Yes!" Seeing Mu Chao's resolute attitude, the deputy squadron leader took the order and ran out, teaching each squadron of the brigade to be equipped with a small artillery squad, equipped with four Chinese-made 27-type 50 grenadiers.

After the start of the fight, Mu Chao has been controlling it in his hands, and he has not pulled it out to fight, and now the Japanese are attacking too fiercely, and this artillery squad must be pulled out.

Under the command of the deputy squadron leader, four grenadiers began to shoot at the Japanese infantry on the front line, joined the battle, and the Japanese infantry who received artillery reinforcements rushed to the front, and four grenades hit head-on, blowing up the first group of Japanese infantry.

The slightly lightened pressure of the attack increased again after the artillery squad of the 2nd Squadron joined the battle, and the infantry squadron of the teaching brigade had a total of nine infantry squadrons, each with a grenadier and a grenade, plus the newly joined artillery squad, a total of thirteen grenadiers were fighting the Japanese army.

At the same time as the number of bombs falling on the position of the 2nd Squadron increased, more and more grenades and grenades fell from the heads of the Japanese troops attacking the position of the 2nd Squadron......

Zhang Wei had also been observing the situation of the second squadron from the defensive position on the left side of the road, and he left the command post and ran to the outer end of the communication trench in the village position to observe the battle situation on the right side of the road.

The two sides are separated by a road more distance, and the battle situation can be seen clearly, and the heavy shelling on that side is also clear on this side.

"Captain, do you want me to let the mortar platoon fire a few rounds and reinforce it?" Li Shaoyan, squadron leader of the heavy fire squadron, asked.

"No, let's deal with the enemy in front of you first."

"I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on, Captain Mu, and the Japanese are too hard to shoot this shell." Li Shaoyan said that the sound of falling bullets over there has been continuous, Li Shaoyan thought, more or less let the 82nd mortar platoon arranged in the village support, and use artillery fire to hit the devils in front of the 2nd Squadron's position for a few rounds.

Zhang Wei waved his hand: "Don't fight, concentrate on dealing with the devils in front of you, leave the shells to them, only when this side is beaten, the pressure on Mu Chao's side will be reduced." ”

The main force of the teaching brigade, the first squadron and the third squadron, the engineer platoon directly under the brigade, and the position on the left side of the road where the heavy fire platoon is stationed, is the core of the garrison of the teaching brigade.

After the right position was raised, Takeda Masayuki urged the attacking troops on the left flank to speed up, and now these Japanese troops are also running at high speed to the villages and outlying positions, and the main force of the teaching brigade is here, and the Japanese attack force is also more than the second squadron.

"Back to the command post!" Zhang Wei stopped observing the battle situation of the second squadron and ran back to the command post in the village.
