Lin Jun, who returned to the headquarters, suggested that Xie Weijin organize a "fire platoon" to be responsible for the operation and use of those "homemade" weapons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xie Weijin and Voronov listened to Lin Jun's words and immediately rushed to see these weapons with great lethality.

"Haha, now our artillery battalion can be used as infantry!"

Xie Weijin and Voronov agreed to Lin Jun's proposal and organized the establishment of a battalion to strengthen the "fire platoon", which could solve the problem that the artillery basically had no melee combat ability.

Each 20-mm Schwak ШВКА cannon is equipped with a crew of 7 people, one barrel firing, one indicating target, two loading shells, and three transport shells. And those modified ПВ-1 machine guns were in groups of three, one foreshooter plus two secondary shooters. There were 63 people in the platoon, and the acting platoon commander was Sergeant Major Vasily, who was directly under the jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters.

Lin Jun's injuries are getting better day by day, while the fighting in Madrid is becoming more and more intense and brutal. Over the next half month, the 11th International Brigade repelled the rebels attacking from the northwest and southeast, but also paid a heavy price for casualties. And the intelligence showed that the German-Italian fascist "intervention army" and Franco's troops would make greater moves, and the Madrid form was more and more dangerous.

Thankfully, reinforcements arrived.

In December, the 12th International Brigade also arrived in Madrid.

Lin Jun's injuries have healed, and he can play Wang Gang's big knife. The "excavation" of the count's bedroom was also completed long ago, but unfortunately nothing was found.

In almost a month of fighting, all the large-caliber artillery of the artillery battalion had run out of shells, and now the artillery comrades really became infantry. The battle at the front became more and more intense, and after discussing with Xie Weijin, Lin Jun, and Voronov, it was decided to transfer half of the battalion's manpower to form a reinforced "assault" company, ready to support the battle at the front.

It turned out that Xie Weijin and Voronov wanted Lin Jun to take care of their family, but he resolutely refused: If I am not allowed to join the assault force, Lao Tzu will go to the front line by himself now! You two stop me from trying!

The two men had no choice but to agree to Lin Jun's request and "appoint" him as the commander of a "Schwark" ШВКА cannon, at least so that he would stay away from the enemy.

On December 7th, the "University Town" was in an emergency!

After learning of this news, Lin Jun and Xie Weijin asked Voronov to watch over his family at the battalion headquarters, and commanded the "assault" company to go to support with most of the battalion's melee weapons.

When more than 280 fighters of the artillery battalion arrived at the "university town", two battalions of the 12th International Brigade stationed here had just repelled the 11th enemy charge, and the front of the position was littered with corpses left by the enemy. Obviously, there had been a white-knuckle battle here, and Lin Jun saw that many of the wounded who had not had time to evacuate were bayonet wounds, and some were cut wounds, "There should be Moroccan troops recruited by Franco in the attacking troops." Lin Jun thought.

"Artillery comrades, how did you get here?" It was a Soviet military adviser who spoke, and with a look of gunsmoke on his face, he recognized from the identification marks on the uniforms of the reinforcements that they were artillerymen.

"When the shells were over, half of us came. Comrade Captain, I see that you have just had a white-knuckle battle, and all the young men of our artillery are good at white-knuckle combat, and we have strong firepower! ”

"Well, thank you, comrade artillery." This captain, A-I. Rodimtsev, is now in charge of the two battalions. In fact, there are two battalions, but there are still a maximum of 400 people with combat effectiveness on the long position, and the strength is already insufficient, so Lin Jun and they came at the right time.

The commandos immediately moved into position, and the cannons were placed slightly further back in the position. The artillery crews immediately began to build positions.

It turned out that the soldiers who were here looked at these reinforcements with some curiosity: they were maneuvering in trucks, pulling a few strange and "hideous" machine guns, and some strange-looking machine guns were removed from the cars. What is even more strange is that these 280 men only have more than 100 Mosin-Nagant rifles, but they are equipped with more than 70 pistols, and those gunners and machine gunners have no firearms with them, and everyone has a big knife stuck in their backs, and more than half of the people in the entire army carry big knives.

If they had seen these men with big swords in their hands before, the other soldiers of the International Column would have laughed at them as antiques from hundreds of years ago, but in the battle just now, the Moroccan units formed in the rebel army gave the comrades of the International Column a taste of the power of cold weapons.

At that time, the rebel troops had already rushed to the front of the position, the commander of the column gave the order for white-knuckle combat, and all the fighters of the international column fought the enemy with rifles loaded with bayonets. At this time, the Moroccan soldiers in the enemy threw away their rifles and drew their scimitars from their waists. The ensuing battle was unforgettable for the soldiers of the international column, their own bayonets were no match for the scimitar, and one young man after another fell in a pool of blood. Fortunately, the reinforcements who arrived from the flanks suppressed the subsequent enemy attack with machine guns, otherwise the entire front of the "university town" would have collapsed.

These artillery boys in front of them are all tall and big, and their bodies are basically above 1.8 meters, if they are really as their leaders say, they are all good at white-knuckle warfare, then they definitely have "terrifying" lethality in white-knuckle warfare.

The artillery carried the big knife was Lin Jun's idea, because the artillery battalion had been running low on guns for more than two months, and if the enemy rushed to the vicinity of the position, he could only wait to be slaughtered. And those young men were envious of Wang Gang's big knife and knife skills, and some people were learning from Wang Gang to play big knives long before they evacuated the airport. Later, although there was the support of the flying group, the light weapons were still insufficient, so Xie Weijin simply sent people to find all the traditional blacksmiths in Madrid, and rushed to work hundreds of broadswords according to the drawings. Although the styles of these broadswords are slightly different, and the quality of the construction is also uneven, they are all made of spring steel plates of automobiles, and the overall quality is okay, at least much better than the "big blades". The style of all the big knives is somewhat like Wang Gang's, straight blade, the blade is more than 80 centimeters long, more than 6 centimeters wide, the blade is a one-size-fits-all open edge, plus the handle of more than 30 centimeters long, and can be used with one hand and both hands, it is definitely a murderous weapon.

Although the young men of the artillery have only been trained in knife skills for a month, and they only practice when they are free, but with the two "masters" of Wang Gang and Lin Jun, plus a few simplified practical fighting moves and the bloody nature of these young men, as long as it is a white-knuckle battle, these more than 100 big knives must be able to exert great power.

"Grandma's, Franco dared to play white-knuckle combat for Lao Tzu in Spain, which is known as the "modern weapons testing field", and I will let you know who is the ancestor of playing with knives! Lin Jun thought as he dug the fortifications with a pickaxe.

Of course, the boys of the artillery battalion are not fools, this broadsword is used only as a last resort, and no one is stupid enough to rush the enemy's machine-gun position with a broadsword. Moreover, now the comrades of the 12th Brigade have also sent some rifles left and captured by the comrades who sacrificed their lives, and the artillerymen on the positions are also one shot.

The battlefield was calm for an hour, and the fortifications of the artillery comrades had been built, waiting for the enemy to come to the door. Lin Jun's gun position was behind the ruins of a bombed-up wall, slightly higher than the position 100 meters ahead. Only a swarthy barrel was exposed in the entire fortification, which could not be seen clearly from a distance, that is, the machine gun from the opposite side was fired, and the shooter also had the protection of the fortification. Lin Jun also asked all the artillery crews to spread a few pieces of water-soaked sacks on the ground under the muzzle, so that no dust on the ground would blow up after firing.

Lin Jun had already driven the original shooter to carry the shells and occupied the small chair himself. There are more people in his artillery group than other groups, that is, Lin Jun's "orderly" Wang Gang, which Xie Weijin specially arranged to protect Lin Jun, and the acting platoon commander Vasily was also next to Lin Jun.

There are ammo boxes on both sides of the cannon, which are chains of 100 rounds each, and as soon as the ammunition on the gun carriage is finished, the loader on the side will immediately load the new ammunition box. Dozens of pounds of ammunition boxes are like toys in the hands of these big guys.

"Vasily, nervous?"

"Hehe, it's okay, captain, it's much better than when I first fought the white bandits."

"I've never heard you talk about the past, I have an uncle who also fought white bandits, he is also an aircraft mechanic, and now he works at Moscow airports, so I can introduce you to you when the time comes."

、、、、、、

Lin Junzheng and the sergeant major were talking, and the sound of tanks came from the opposite side.

"You're finally here! Hehe, attack without artillery preparation, you guys are powerful with tanks?! Lao Tzu is waiting for you! "Everyone was immediately ready for battle." Vasily, let everyone destroy the tanks first, let all the tanks get out of the woods cannon before firing, and then take care of those infantry. ”

"Yes, Captain." Listening to the captain's words, Vasily bent down to inform the other artillery crews.

In front of the position was an open field of about 200 meters, and beyond that was a small forest, and on the other side of the forest was a construction area occupied by the rebels, from which the roar of tanks could be heard.

Rodimtsev had a headache, judging by the sound, there were at least 10 of these tanks, and the rebels in the previous attacks did not use tanks at all, and they did not have anti-tank weapons in their own hands. He unconsciously looked back, "I hope that those machine guns of the artillery comrades can destroy these tanks." ”

Almost instantly, more than 10 German Mark 1 tanks rushed out of the woods, followed by a large number of rebels, who roared and rushed quickly towards the positions of the Republic. The two machine guns on the tank spewed tongues of fire, and the bullets dusted the front of the position.

The fighters of the international column on this side also opened fire, and bullets flew indiscriminately on the open ground, and people on both sides continued to be shot and fell, but relatively speaking, the casualties on the Republic side were much smaller because of the protection of the trenches.

"Damn, call Lao Tzu!" Lin Jun on the shooting seat had already put the tank close to his side into the circular aiming collar and stepped on the firing pedal fiercely.

Note: The circular sighting collar can be used for both anti-aircraft and flat fire.
