Chapter 1095 Independent regimental hanging
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The explosion in the long canyon bombarded more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers still in the canyon, from Dazuo to Xiaobing, all of them into slag.
There are enough explosives, coupled with the terrifying power of the natural terrain factors, not to mention the Japanese army, even the initiator Liu Lang did not expect that more than 10,000 kilograms of explosives would be so exaggerated, otherwise where would he use a main infantry battalion to defend what valley pass.
It was just a small group of Japanese troops, and in the absence of heavy weapons to support them, the independent regiment sent an infantry company to greet them, and they were all worthy of them.
Although compared with a division of the Japanese army, it may be far inferior in terms of aircraft and heavy artillery, but in terms of firepower with light weapons, the Japanese army, which advocates economy and slamming the door, is not as good as the independent regiment with deep pockets today.
Because of the problem of staffing, the three battalions of the Panshi Battalion, the Death Battalion, and the Bayonet Battalion are all small battalions, and their establishment is no more than two infantry companies and one fire platoon. However, in order to maximize the use of the least number of people, Langtuan "frenziedly" introduced the concept of firepower squad in the infantry platoon.
The most important component of the firepower of the fire squad, which has been providing fire support to the infantry since the platoon level, is the artifact that was first developed since the founding of the independent regiment--- Hitler's chainsaw. In this era, and even in the next ten years, the epoch-making machine gun that could occupy the highest rate of fire almost dominated the victory of the independent regiment in the battle of the Great Wall.
An infantry company has two MG42 light machine guns, an infantry company has three infantry platoons plus a fire platoon, and a fire platoon has four MG42 heavy machine guns, so an infantry company has a light machine gun MG42 and a heavy machine gun gun.
The two infantry companies were up to 20 guns, and together with the fire platoon directly under the battalion headquarters, the Panshi battalion was equipped with a total of 24 MG42s, including 12 light machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns. The difference between light and heavy machine guns is that the barrel length is different, and the heavy machine gun type has a longer firing range, and it can also be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun at critical moments.
This is just to say that the rate of fire is as high as 1200 rounds per minute MG42, if you add the DP light machine guns of the infantry squad support fire of the independent regiment, one infantry squad, one infantry company 6 infantry squads, and 12 more light machine guns owned by the Rock Battalion with two infantry companies.
36 light and heavy machine guns, not to mention the performance, just the number. Looking at the whole world, not to mention that the most equipped infantry battalion of the Central Army's German Armament Division on the Chinese battlefield has only 6 heavy machine guns, and the entire infantry battalion has 9 light machine guns, not to mention that an infantry brigade of the Japanese army has 4 infantry squadrons, 24 light machine guns, and 10 to 12 heavy machine guns, even an infantry division and battalion of the Third Reich, one of the world's military powers, only has 12 heavy machine guns.
In addition to light and heavy machine gun fire, let's talk about mortars, one fire squad has two 60 mortars, two infantry companies and 6 infantry platoons have 60 mortars and 12 guns; One fire platoon had two 20-mm guns and two 82-caliber mortars, and three fire platoons had six 82-caliber mortars and six 20-mm guns.
This is not the end, although there is no tank gun equipped with anti-aircraft guns that specialize in tanks, firstly, because the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield is also hard, and the thinking mode is still stuck in the Japanese army during the First World War, the high-level of the Japanese army did not let their standing divisions and regiments mechanize, although there are tanks, but there are definitely not many; The second is that the Japanese tanks are too thin-skinned, not to mention the 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, even the 20-mm machine guns can blow them up at a distance of 500 meters.
Moreover, even if there is no 20 mm machine gun, Lang Tuanza has prepared special artifacts for infantry to fight armor and work, the "Bazooka" and "Iron Fist", which will soon be popular in the European battlefield, and the "40 Fire", the primary version of the future republic.
Each infantry squad of the independent regiment is equipped with a bazooka group, although the range of 150 meters is somewhat close, but it is convenient, three people carry three rockets on their backs, as long as it is not too bad luck, it should not be a problem to get a small bean ding.
Otherwise, Langtuanzuo would not dare to collect all the 20-mm machine guns in the fire platoon for the air defense of the Niangziguan front, some of which were sent to Xuehuashan to assist the 17th Division, and some of which supported the 1st Battalion and the 772nd Regiment in Jiuguan.
This kind of firepower is to pull the current independent regiment to the European battlefield, and in terms of light firepower alone, even if it encounters the infantry regiment of the Third Reich that swept across Europe, it will be a hanging without suspense. If you add the Storm rocket artillery, which ---has not yet been opened by the independent regiment, the heavy firepower of the independent regiment is not weaker than that of the infantry divisions of the Third Reich, which are armed with howitzers.
And what about an infantry squadron of the Japanese army? One squad has two infantry squads and one fire support squad, the infantry squad carries the 38 covers, the fire support squad has 2 light machine guns and 2 grenadiers, and the three squads have a total of 6 light machine guns and 6 grenadiers. Heavy machine guns, that is only available to infantry brigades, infantry squadrons are not qualified for that.
If this firepower is used to beat ordinary national troops or red troops with poor equipment, it is okay, and if they encounter the German mechanics who are painstakingly managed by the bald principal, they will be beaten until they cry, let alone the current independent regiment.
Of course, it may be a bit nonsense to compare the Rock Battalion, armed to the teeth, with an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, after all, in terms of establishment, an infantry squadron of more than 190 Japanese troops is only a few dozen more than a Chinese company.
However, on the battlefield at Taniguchi, the Japanese had to sadly admit that their 1/2 infantry squadron of 300 men was facing a rock battalion of more than 460 people, and a rock battalion with field trenches.
But they only had time to dig a small ditch at the mouth of the valley, which was only a little deeper than their knees.
Isn't this going to kill you?
Indeed, when the exaggerated explosion in the canyon stunned the Chinese and Japanese soldiers, and after three or four minutes of dodging the "human bombs" and countless rubble that were constantly sprayed out by the air waves, the officers and men of the Panshi Battalion first woke up from the shock.
Even though the battlefield was still dusty, the dust swept up by the air waves was like a heavy fog, and it was impossible to see people thirty meters away. But it also has to be fought.
"Hit Lao Tzu, beat him shit. I can't see it, but I also fight. Liu Dazhu roared angrily.
In the three-dimensional fortifications that the Panshi battalion spent a full week digging in the terraces, 24 "Hitler chainsaws" roared at the same time, 12 DP light machine guns also fired unscrupulously, in addition to more than 200 semi-automatic rifles and more than 30 Suomi submachine guns equipped with infantry were also firing at full strength.
There is no clear goal, because there is no vision at all, they all shoot at the direction in their memory, and then shoot.
The reason why it is said to be a three-dimensional fortification is that it is a factor of the natural topography of the terraced fields, and Liu Dazhu, who is responsible for building the position, simply sets up fire positions layer by layer according to local conditions. Two infantry companies of the Panshi Battalion, six infantry platoons, two infantry platoons on one side, were located on terraces on three sides of the valley mouth, and then each fire platoon supported one side. The depth of the terraces is not enough but the width is wide enough, an infantry platoon occupies one floor, and the fire platoon occupies a separate layer, and three layers of firepower are formed on each position, and the difference between each layer is 1 meter, which also just avoids accidental injury.
Such a position may be used for defense a little worse, and it will definitely suffer heavy casualties when it encounters such a firepower cover as mountain artillery, but if it is used to fight a blocking battle, it is the most suitable.
No matter how you hide, the bullets fired from up, down, left and right are almost covered by dead ends.
Almost instantly, the Rock Battalion poured more than 600 rounds of bullets at the 300 Japanese troops who were completely confused, and at this rate, within a minute, the Rock Battalion could pour more than 30,000 rounds of bullets into the Japanese invaders. Absolute loser-style shooting.
But there is no way, the current battlefield is like being blindfolded, and no one on the two sides at a distance of nearly 300 meters can see anyone.
Then, you can only rely on firepower to decide the winner.
At this point, all tactics are. Now all they have to do is to pour fire in each other's direction in all their directions, until the dust in the sky is blown away by the wind.
The Rock Battalion, which had 2,000 rounds of cartridges for each heavy machine gun and 3 barrels, 1,000 light machine guns, 200 rifles, and 300 submachine guns, had wasted capital.
The first and most unfortunate were naturally the two Japanese spear squads closest to the Rock Battalion position, and the 30-strong squad was strengthened by a special order from the commander of the 78th Infantry Wing Moriki Yin Daisa, who had already died in the canyon, and each infantry squad added an additional machine gun group and a grenadier group, and the absolute elite and strong generals, even if they met an infantry company of the Chinese, they could support the time when the main force came to help.
This was carefully calculated by a certain unlucky egg Dazuo, but this extra-level dragon set Dazuo, who had just been transferred from Jingxian the day before yesterday and was blown up into a "mural" before he showed his ambitions, did not expect that his two reinforced squads were beaten into blood gourds at 40 meters from the Chinese position he looked down on, without much struggle at all.
Ninety percent of the firepower on the frontal position where Liu Dazhu was sitting first went at this group of Japanese "elite soldiers" who were close enough to see their eyebrows clearly.
In fact, they are the only targets that can be seen from a distance of only 40 meters.
The Japanese soldiers who were frightened by the sound of gunfire only a few dozen meters away and lay on the ground may have experienced the most difficult few minutes. There are Chinese who are not afraid to stop them at the beginning, and the strong main force that follows them up can easily crush them into slag.
However, after 30 seconds, such a dream became a completely unattainable dream. Crazy waves of qi swept all kinds of strange human bodies and stones over their heads, and then smashed onto the terraces where the Chinese were hidden, and a terrible muffled sound that made people fall into despair.
Even if the battlefield of Taniguchi was already dusty at this time, the trembling elite soldiers of the Japanese army only dared to hold their heads on the ground, like frightened quails and did not dare to move easily. It is completely possible to sweep people into the air waves, wave after wave, which seems to be endless.
The Chinese were so vicious that every Japanese soldier with a broken heart issued the most vicious curses in their hearts.
Then the bullets of the vicious Chinese rushed at them, far more terrible than the waves of air whose power had been weakened, wave after wave, endless.
