Of course, Zhang Chi would not notice the changes in the South African 1st Division, and all he could notice at this time was the enemy within a few meters in front of him, as well as bayonets, rifles, and blood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It should be said that the German army's melee firepower is quite good, because the Germans have the famous MP38 or MP40 submachine guns, which are extremely reliable and accurate, even better than the Thomson submachine guns in the hands of the expeditionary force.

It should be said that the Thomson submachine gun will be better than the MP40 submachine gun, because the MP40 submachine gun has a capacity of only 32 rounds, while the Thomson submachine gun has a variety of options, with a magazine capacity of 20 or 30 rounds and a drum of 50 or 100 rounds.

It is a well-known fact that in close combat, if the ammunition capacity is insufficient and the magazine is changed in the middle of the battle, it is almost fatal.

Another important feature is the rate of fire, which determines how many rounds can be fired per unit of time, and at this point, the Thomson submachine gun's rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute is clearly better than the MP40's rate of fire of only 500 rounds.

The problem was that the Thomson submachine gun was very complex to make, which made it expensive (more than two hundred dollars, the equivalent of a car at the time), while the MP40 was very cheap and could equip more troops.

It's just that there is a misunderstanding on this point, as long as there are German soldiers in modern film and television dramas, almost everyone has an MP40, in fact, the German army is only a regular infantry division There are only more than 300 submachine guns (321 units), which are generally only equipped with squad leaders, drivers and scouts.

This had to do with the fact that the German front was too large and needed to save money, and it was also related to the tactical thinking of the German army, such as the design of the MP40, which was not designed to make it faster, but deliberately slowed down its rate of fire in the hope that a well-trained shooter would be able to kill the target accurately.

The first opponent Zhang Chi encountered was a German soldier holding an MP40, this German soldier was originally following closely behind the tank, he obviously did not expect the enemy to charge in this situation, and after a moment's pause, he immediately reflexively raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Zhang Chi......

The sniper rifle in Zhang Chi's hand, under normal circumstances, the sniper rifle is basically unfortunate when facing the submachine gun at close range, but the situation at this time is different...... The distance between the two sides was so close that Zhang Chi could see the surprise and fear in the eyes of the Germans.

Zhang Chi did not stop, and as soon as he sent the rifle forward in his hand, the bayonet pierced the lower abdomen of the German army.

The Germans screamed and pulled the trigger at the same time, and with the sound of a "da-da-da" gunshot, the bullets hit the ground, and a few even flew past the scarcity of the foot.

This is the result of Zhang Chi's choice of lower abdomen, if the bayonet is pierced elsewhere, even if it is pierced into the enemy's throat, it will not be able to prevent him from pulling the trigger, in fact, the enemy will hold the thing in his hand more tightly in severe pain, so it will inevitably shoot bullets, and Zhang Chi is on the opposite side of the muzzle, so it will definitely be beaten into a sieve.

But choosing the lower abdomen is different, after the lower abdomen is attacked, due to the conditioned reflex, the person will naturally bow over like a shrimp, so the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the ground.

As soon as Zhang Chi drew back his bayonet, he found another German soldier raising his rifle and aiming at Zhang Chi...... They apparently did not expect that the Chinese army would rush up to fight hand-to-hand combat, so they did not even have time to load their bayonets.

Zhang Chi did not hesitate, one rolled over and lay on the ground, and then rolled the front slope......

A gunshot rang out, and Zhang Chi didn't know if the bullet had hit him, he only knew that he had hit the German soldier's legs.

Because he was on an inclined plane and Zhang Chi still used all his strength to roll forward, the German army was immediately knocked out of balance and fell to the ground, and he struggled to stand up just when Zhang Chi's rifle butt had already smashed on his head.

At this time, the butt of the rifle was actually better than the bayonet.

The third German soldier Zhang Chi faced was not much dangerous, this German soldier had just finished firing the bullet in the rifle, and was panicking to press the bullet for the rifle at this time...... Zhang Chi noticed that the Mauser rifle in the German hand did not have a bayonet butt, which may be the reason why he chose to press the bullet instead of the bayonet.

In fact, any fool knows that bayonets are more useful than bullets at this time.

This can also be said to be a kind of helplessness of the German army, and in the middle and late stages of the war, the German army also appeared in a similar dilemma as Japan: there was a serious shortage of materials. As a result, the manufacture of German rifles became more and more rudimentary, and many rifles omitted even bayonet mounts.

But the enemy is the enemy after all, Zhang Chi did not hesitate, but still plunged the bayonet into the chest of the German soldier, and it was not until he fell down that Zhang Chi saw a young face full of pain and horror...... He was almost a kid.

After a while, the fighters crossed the anti-tank trenches and strangled with the Germans.

The battlefield turned into chaos in an instant, although the Germans had many more tanks, armored vehicles, and machine guns that could kill large numbers of infantry than the Chinese army, but they suddenly found that all this was useless, because the armies of both sides had already killed their own people, and when they shot, they would inevitably injure their own people by mistake, and sometimes they were even unsure whether to kill more of their own people or kill more enemies.

The saddest of these were the German tanks, which could not even move a single step, because the front and rear of the tanks were full of scuffling enemy soldiers, so they could only stay where they were.

However, it is not a good idea to stay where you are, as Chinese soldiers will stuff cluster grenades and explosives packs under the tanks...... This doesn't work for moving tanks, as grenades and explosive packs have a delay time when they explode, but against a tank parked in place, it's almost as accurate as a blow. There were even fighters who simply climbed into the tank, uncovered the hatch, and stuffed the grenade into it.

There were also German tank crews who emerged from the turrets, armed with pistols and submachine guns, in an attempt to condescendingly shoot at the expeditionary force, but the Chinese army had snipers in the dunes...... At this time, snipers were definitely more useful than machine gunners or gunners, because they were able to carry out accurate strikes against the enemy, so the German tanks were almost surrounded and killed, one after another, waiting for the expeditionary force to blow up.

What is surprising is that the German infantry fought very tenaciously, they used tanks as obstacles to quickly build a defensive line in the gap between the tanks and struggled to support it, and even many German armored vehicles were blocked as a defensive line, and several mortars were brought in to rapidly bomb the anti-tank trench section that the Germans had previously blocked with tanks to prevent the follow-up troops of the expeditionary force from following up.
