Chapter 584: Capturing the Machine Gun Position
"Fire!"
The reason for this is naturally that fifty meters away, the swarthy battle defense gun, when the infantry of the ** team came up, the Japanese army in the saddle machine gun fortification was not afraid at all, but as soon as they saw the battle defense gun, many Japanese soldiers inside began to panic, dealing with civil fortifications, small arms and curved grenadier mortars, it was impossible to cause structural damage
In the Japanese machine gun fortifications in the saddle, a total of four Type 92 heavy machine guns and five 11-year-old light machine guns were spraying bullets, and the Japanese officers who commanded the shooting mobilized all the soldiers, ammunition men, and riflemen who could use them, except for the soldiers who had to carry ammunition, the rest of them all took up their weapons and fired at the muzzles of the machine guns.
The strong fortifications made of logs and sandbags protected these Japanese soldiers well, and the rifle machine gun bullets and grenades fired by the engineer platoon did not kill many Japanese soldiers in the fortifications, only a few bullets drilled along the firing port
All the weapons that the Japanese possessed, the 92 heavy machine guns, the 11-year light machine guns, the 38 rifles, and even the firing of several Southern pistols were intertwined, and the Japanese troops within the fortifications were firing with maximum efficiency.
The ground near the firing port and on the platform on which the gun was mounted were littered with knocked out shells.
When firing at the 1st and 3rd squadrons, these Japanese machine gunners guarding the saddle fired calmly, killing and wounding many officers and men of the assault force, but now, no one could cope calmly, and the engineer platoon and anti-aircraft guns that came over made them aware of the danger.
At the firing port of the heavy machine gun, a Japanese heavy machine gun shooter was killed by a stray bullet from a 79 rifle that drilled into the perforation, and there was no time to replace him.
"Da Da Da"
The peculiar gunfire of the Type 92 heavy machine gun exploded in the machine gun fortifications, and the bullet protection plate was fed into the gun, and a string of 7.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets were fired out, and the 7.7 heavy machine gun bullets of the one bullet plate were quickly exhausted.
There was a clanging echo outside, and most of the bullets he fired hit the shield of the 37 battle defense gun, and almost all the gunners of the squadron's battle defense guns hid behind the gun shield, making it difficult to hit, but he could only fire as much as possible, hoping that the machine gun could interfere with the fire of the squadron's defense artillery.
Shooting may not stop the squadron from firing, but it is better than not firing at all.
The anxious heavy machine gun squad leader, looking at the battle defense gun with bullet marks everywhere on the shield, felt more and more frightened, the small artillery, only a few shells can destroy the machine gun fortifications where he is, the team leader stared at the battle defense gun, as if he had seen the Chinese soldiers who were preparing for firing after the shield.
"Bullet! Hurry up!"
The squad leader urged the soldiers to reload the 92 machine gun and continue firing, and the co-shooter hurriedly took out a new 7.7 mm bullet protection plate from the ammunition box and was about to load it into the machine gun.
Outside the machine gun fortifications, there was a loud muffled sound, and the bullet protection plate of the 7.7 machine gun bullet had not yet been stuffed in, and the squad leader who operated the gun looked out in horror.
The muzzle of the battle defense gun emitted a cloud of smoke, and the barrel of the gun naturally recoiled backwards.
A 37 grenade drilled out of the muzzle of the PAK37 anti-aircraft gun, and the 37 grenade produced by the original German factory slashed through the barrel of the 42 times the diameter and flew away.
The panic of the machine gun squad leader lasted only ten seconds, and the 37 shell was loaded on the machine gun fortification in the saddle, and the shell hit the log and sandbag on the front of the fortification, and the grenade exploded instantly.
At a distance of about 50 meters, it was impossible for the shell to miss, the first shot hit the fortified structure, and at the moment of the explosion, the sandbag was smashed through by the grenade by inertia, and the large log full of bullet holes behind it was blown up by the shell that pierced the sandbag, and the shrapnel of the shell was embedded in the log, and the log that had been attacked by an unknown number of bullets was blown up at once.
The explosion of the shell tore the log apart, the structure of the fortification was damaged, and the shrapnel from the grenade exploded, along the firing port of the machine gun, flew into the machine gun fortification.
Suddenly, there were screams from the machine gun fortifications, and the shrapnel and sawdust from the explosion of the logs hit the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications.
The leader of the heavy machine gun squad who was operating the gun, at this time his eyes were red, and he had a long wooden strip of log stuck in his neck, and his face was hit by shrapnel from a grenade, and he was half-kneeling on the ground, and blood gushed out of his neck and flowed to the barrel of the 92 heavy machine gun, which was dried and evaporated by the barrel and heat sink that emitted hot gas......
……
The first shot was off to a good start, and a heavy machine gun was reimbursed, and the squad leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squad who commanded the shooting applauded and quickly organized the second round of firing.
The officers and men of the engineer platoon who were covering the anti-aircraft artillery on the side, were happy, and they took out their blasting canisters one after another, and the machine guns of the melee battle were also taken out, and they began to prepare for the impact.
The anti-aircraft artillerymen adjusted the barrel slightly, withdrew the smoking shells from the chamber, and reloaded the shells.
"Open!"
"Boom" was another 37 battle anti-artillery grenade.
"Open!"
"Boom"
The anti-war artillery quickened the firing speed, firing forward one after another, and the three seven grenades hit the Japanese machine gun fortifications in the saddle one after another, and the anti-aircraft artillery used the high rate of fire to blow up the Japanese near the machine gun position to pieces, and during the shooting, they also changed the type of ammunition and fired a precious armor-piercing shell.
This is something left to fight tanks, the battle defense artillery squad and Zhang Wei's assault troops went to the high ground, and brought a total of three armor-piercing shells, which further damaged the structure of the Japanese fortifications, and hit a piercing, resulting in the collapse of a light machine gun firing port, and the collapsed log smashed to death several Japanese soldiers who were shooting.
The curved mortars and grenadiers, and the machine-gun fortifications that could be twice as effective for half the day, made the flat-firing 37 anti-aircraft artillery fire more than a dozen shells, and it could not support it.
Accompanied by violent explosions and screams, the Japanese machine-gun fortifications 50 meters away, the originally extremely fierce light and heavy machine guns and rifle firepower network, now only two light machine guns and a few rifles were left to fire, how hard they hit the assault troops just now, how embarrassed they are now, and their machine gun fire has been completely disintegrated under the continuous fire of the 37 battle anti-aircraft guns.
He Jinhai, the platoon commander of the engineer platoon, took twenty rings and jumped up.
"Brothers, kill them and take their ground!"
The officers and men of the engineer platoon got up one after another, only the light machine gun groups of each squad did not move, prostrate in place, and fired at the Japanese fire point in the saddle with Czech light machine guns.
The officers and men of the engineer platoon, who were like a rainbow, went to attack this half-dead machine-gun position bombarded by the battle defense shells, it was simply easy, and the officers and men of the assault, with the help of the cover of Czech and grenade grenade explosion fire, quickly rushed to the front of the fortifications.
"Kill me!"
He Jinhai took the lead, found a shooting hole, took twenty rings on the opposite side of a sudden burst, fired continuously, and there was a scream like killing pigs in the fortifications, He Jinhai seemed to be not enough, and threw a grenade into it, and the officers and soldiers of the engineer platoon were the same, using flower machines to strafe the machine gun firing port, and throwing large and small blasting canisters into the machine gun fortifications.
"Boom"
The machine-gun position in the saddle of the Luotang Heights was completely destroyed and captured by the engineer platoon......
