Blocking position on the eastern slope of Kuancheng.?? ⑤???? Read the latest chapters of the book

Machine gunner Chen Erwa stared nervously at the machine gun's crosshairs, and the open nose already indicated that the machine gun was now at a critical point and could fire at any time. Chen Erwa is a native of eastern Hebei and has been in the army for less than a year, and he remembers very well that he joined the army in September last year, and the place where he joined the army was Chengde.

Like all the poor people in this era, Chen Erwa also has bitter tears, the landlord's exploitation of the devil's oppression has put Chen Erwa's family on a dead end, when the local bullies want to rob Chen Erwa's sister to pay the rent, Chen Erwa, China's largest peasant representative, resisted, when he was armed with a kitchen knife to cover his sister's escape, but he was unfortunately caught by the gendarmes of the little devils who rushed in, and was put on death row as Tubalu on the charge of "collaborating with the Communist Party". However, at this time, the troops of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region attacked Chengde, and after Chen Erwa's sister escaped, she found the local guerrillas in Chengde and prepared to rescue her younger brother.

After Chen Erwa was rescued, she quickly joined the Eighth Route Army with the support of her sister, and his sister Chen Daya also joined the Eighth Route Army medical team and became a nurse in the Eighth Route Army Field Hospital. After joining the army, Chen Erwa was really respected, although Chen Erwa joined the army for less than a year, but because he himself is extremely talented in machine guns and mortars, so he can often play a role that cannot be ignored in the battle, so soon Chen Erwa was promoted to the second squad leader of the first platoon of the machine gun company, and soon after he was awarded a personal second-class merit, when the brigade commander put on a personal first-class merit of the big red huā, Chen Erwa has regarded the army as his home.

At this time, Chen Erwa was already the commander of the machine gun company, and was actively striving to join the party, in the words of Master Chen, he joined the party both mentally and physically. This time, the sharp knife battalion Jiāo was ordered by the superior to block the cavalry unit of the Japanese raid on Chengde in Kuancheng, and a regiment of machine gun companies, which was the most powerful machine gun company of the third brigade of the independent 77th Division, was also transferred to the sharp knife battalion to assist in the operation, so Chen Erwa also followed the troops to Kuancheng.

"Company commander, the devil's cavalry is coming up, what should we do now?" Warrior Li Mule asked a little nervously.

"What do you do cold salad Our platoon is the first trench to defend, so it is the earliest unit to fight the Japanese army, we are eating ròu, and the remaining second, third, and fourth companies are eating our leftovers. Comrades, the brigade commander said that when this battle is over, we can return to Sui to rest and recuperate, and then Commander Han Yunhua will give us a lesson, don't you want to meet our Commander Han for a long time, since you want to see those things to fight this battle, so none of you can give me a chain at a critical time. Wait a while and listen to my orders, you can just shoot when I shoot, do you know? Chen Erwa said loudly.

"Got it," the fighters replied in unison.

The first company had one hundred and seventy-four fighters, eight tǐng 92 heavy machine guns and 16 tǐng crooked handle sub level 6 tǐng high shè machine guns, although half of these equipment were temporarily transferred from other troops, but in order to win this battle, the three brigades were considered to have pressed the old capital, although the sharp knife battalion only had more than 700 people, but except for the necessary snipers and bullet operators, the rest were machine gunners. Master Chen knew that it was not possible to deal with the cavalry rifle, and at the speed of the cavalry, the rifle would be charged by the cavalry before the machine gun was fired, although the cavalry suffered a little from a distance because the target was obvious enough, but if you talk about close combat, the cavalry is synonymous with strength, not to mention an infantry, even if it is three infantry, it is not necessarily the opponent of a cavalry. This book is updated in real timeDU(5)8.сΟm, so to deal with cavalry, it is necessary to use powerful machine guns, especially heavy machine guns with great lethality.

Lieutenant General Yoshida also knew that his cavalry group had already broken out of the target, and it didn't mean much to hide it anymore, so as soon as he came up, he ordered his troops to come and charge at the level of a brigade. Although the cavalry brigade has only more than 300 people compared to the establishment of more than 1,000 infantry brigades, the momentum displayed by the charge of more than 300 people is no less than that of more than 1,000 infantry.

Seeing the Japanese cavalry rushing over with a rifle in hand, Chen Erwa's heart suddenly calmed down, and counted silently: "One thousand meters...... 800 meters......... 600 meters ......."

When the Japanese cavalry was still 500 meters away from the blocking position, Chen Erwa decisively gave the order to fire, only to see that he quickly pulled the trigger and shouted loudly: "Fire, hit me hard, fire ..........".

The impact of the cavalry was terrifying, but the cavalry's moving target was large, and the density was large enough when the group charged, so as soon as the guns of the Sharp Knife Battalion rang out, a large number of horses fell to the ground immediately. Running at such a high speed, once you fall, the consequences are unimaginable. Not to mention that the huge habitual xìng is likely to hurt the knight on the horse, and more importantly, it is often the cavalry at the front who falls, once they fall, the cavalry behind will not have time to stop, so the cavalry who falls to the ground, whether it is a war horse or a knight, is dead.

The first line of defense was very narrow, less than a hundred meters long from north to south, on both sides were hills unsuitable for cavalry charges, and only a fairly wide valley road in the middle, so a company of more than 30 tǐng light and heavy machine guns could completely block the entire road. Moreover, in order to deal with the cavalry charging at high speed, the soldiers of the first company also dug a trench two meters wide and two meters deep at a distance of 300 meters and 200 meters from the position, and the Japanese cavalry could not jump this trench under any circumstances.

Sure enough, although the machine gun fire was very fierce, but the cavalry group was not easy to deal with, and when the first batch of forty or fifty knights were killed, the second group of cavalry of the Japanese army was less than 400 meters away from the position of the first company, and at this rate, the Japanese army only needed to lose one or two hundred cavalry to rush into the defensive position of the first company. After all, no matter how powerful the fighters are, it is impossible to put bayonets on heavy machine guns.

But soon the Japanese cavalry encountered a test, when the high-speed charging Japanese cavalry gradually approached the first trench, because the trench was better camouflaged, some of the shelters on it were completely míhuò to catch the Japanese army, when the first war horse screamed and planted into the "horse trap", then a large number of war horses fell into the trap of a company.

This kind of trap is the horse trap that Master Chen used to build a camp in ancient times to prevent the enemy from breaking into the camp, and the biggest advantage of the cavalry is speed, once the speed advantage of the cavalry is leveled, then the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced, and even inferior to the infantry.

This time, a total of more than 40 devil cavalry fell into the trap pit, and at the same time, they collided with dozens of war horses due to the sudden deceleration, and the speed of the Japanese cavalry suddenly changed from high-speed charge to stagnation, and the speed advantage was suddenly gone. This book is updated in real time DU(5)8.сΟm Once stopped, the Japanese cavalry suddenly became a live target, and Chen Erwa seized the opportunity to order the troops to open fire.

"Dada..................."

"Dada..................."

The first attack of the Japanese cavalry group was quickly repulsed, and this time the Japanese lost a total of more than 140 people, and the cavalry wing responsible for the attack now had only half of the number left, so it can be said that the losses were heavy.

Lieutenant General Yoshida Nao watched the whole process of the battle between the two sides through a telescope, and he sighed and said: "Shaoga, our cavalry group really deserves to be the sharpest unit of the Great Japanese Empire, although they failed to take the position of the Chinese army this time, but they did not flinch in the face of such powerful firepower, and fought very well. However, the machine guns of the Chinese troops are not easy to pack, okay, let the cavalry wing of the 26th Division go up. ”

"Hail"

The 26th Division was originally subordinate to the battle sequence of the Méng Army, and was responsible for the safety of all the cities on the ancient Méng Plateau, including Guisui, and the most extensive grassland, so the cavalry unit of the 26th Division was also the most powerful cavalry unit in the Japanese cavalry unit except for the Hessian cavalry wing. To say that the Japanese cavalry unit of the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing is undoubtedly the most famous, the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing was originally the Japanese Imperial Family's Imperial Guard, and its successive Wing Commanders were all members of the Imperial Family. The current co-captain Kuroshima Morita Daisa is also a member of the royal family, and he is also a direct member of the royal family.

Kuroshima Morita Daisa is a member of the Japanese imperial family and a hereditary baron. Since childhood, Kuroshima has been brave and strong, strong in martial arts, good at using a sword, and sitting down is the Kuroshima Wing, well-trained, and is the strongest cavalry wing in the Japanese army that invaded China, and there is no one. Therefore, many squadrons know this Kuroshima Morita and his Hessian cavalry wing, so the Hessian cavalry wing is the most famous cavalry wing in Japan.

Although the cavalry wing of the 26th Division is not as good as the Hessian cavalry wing, because they have been fighting with the ancient men of the people's customs since their formation, they have also developed the unique fighting style of the 26th Cavalry Wing, so the combat effectiveness of the 26th Cavalry Wing is also top. ,

After receiving the order, the commander of the 26th Cavalry Wing, Hayao Miyazaki, immediately ordered his troops and horses to attack. The 26th Cavalry Wing did not disappoint Lieutenant General Yoshida either, and Miyazaki knew that although his cavalry wing was strong, it was not much stronger than the cavalry brigade just now, and the traditional tactics used by the cavalry brigade just now would certainly not be too satisfactory.

Therefore, Miyazaki did not order the troops to rush forward in a swarm, but ordered the entire cavalry wing to be divided into three batches, the first batch was the fourth cavalry squadron with the weakest combat effectiveness of the entire cavalry wing, the second batch was the speed artillery squadron of the cavalry wing, and the third batch was the remaining three cavalry brigades.

Miyazaki's tactics are obvious, that is, first let the 4th Cavalry Squadron, which has the weakest combat effectiveness, act as cannon fodder to buy time for the speed gun squadron, and then use the speed shè squadron to eliminate or suppress the machine guns of the squadron, and finally charge the large force. This is also to blame Chen Erwa's machine gun position for the lack of morality, the position of the entire machine gun company is in a turning place, and the straight line seems to be only visible for a small section, so although the Japanese army's speed gun can be detected, but it can't be stopped, so it can only get close and fight again.

Miyazaki's tactics were very successful, the 4th Cavalry Squadron just rushed up and the Turbo Artillery Squadron followed, and as soon as it approached the position of the Squadron, the 4th Cavalry Squadron was in front, while the Japanese troops of the Turbo Artillery Squadron quickly dismounted and quickly installed a small-caliber Turbo Mortar.

This kind of high-speed shè gun equipped with cavalry units actually has no other advantages, that is, shè is fast and easy to install. Very quickly, the squadron of guns was installed, and the first round of tests was carried out.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

Before the 1st Company had time to adjust after the 4th Cavalry Squadron had been resolved, the position was bombarded by the Japanese Rapid Artillery Squadron. Although there were no casualties in the first round of testing, Chen Erwa knew that this time she would suffer, just as the machine gun company is the best weapon to clean up the cavalry troops, and the artillery unit is also the best thing to clean up the machine gun company, it can be said that the artillery is the nemesis of the machine gun unit. Especially for heavy machine guns that are difficult to move, the weight of a tǐng 92 type heavy machine gun itself is 55 kg, and it is difficult for a person to move this big guy, so each tǐng heavy machine gun needs more than four soldiers to work, in addition to the machine gunner, there are two deputy shè hands and one bullet yào hand for ammunition. Light machine guns are good to say, and if they can't do anything, they can also shift positions, but heavy machine guns simply can't move for a long time, so heavy machine guns are easily bombarded by artillery.

Miyazaki's business is very cost-effective, a cavalry squadron for a reinforced machine gun company he still earns, but Chen Erwa is not a vegetarian, knowing that the Japanese artillery will bombard the position fiercely next, so he asked Li Desheng, the commander of the sharp knife battalion, for help, because Chen Erwa knew that Li Desheng also had a mortar company in his hand, in addition to the two mén 92 infantry guns, he was also equipped with six mén 60 mortars, if the artillery company was not supported at this time, This machine gun company of his will soon be bombed to pieces by the Japanese.

Li Desheng is also aware of the current situation, even if Chen Erwa does not ask him for help, he will not dare to sit idly by. Compared with the hastily deployed artillery squadron of the 26th Cavalry Wing, the artillery company of the Sharp Knife Battalion had already established its own artillery position, and also established a shè attack on all areas of the shè, and under the accurate prompting of the front-line observation post, the artillery company of the sharp knife battalion destroyed two mén mortars of the Japanese artillery squadron and detonated a box of shells in the first attempt.

There is still a gap between the artillery of the cavalry unit and the artillery of the infantry unit, although the artillery equipment of the cavalry unit is fast and simple, but its artillery is not only small in caliber, but also broken in stroke, which is simply incomparable with the artillery unit of the infantry.

However, even so, Miyazaki Hakuichi Nakasa did not let the artillery squadron withdraw, but ordered the remaining six mén mortars to continue firing, and ordered the artillery unit to ignore the squadron's artillery and concentrate fire on bombarding the Chinese machine gun positions. Chen Erwa did not expect that even if there was an artillery unit to suppress it, the Japanese artillery unit would continue to fire shells at his machine gun position, and in just two minutes, the machine gun company lost four tǐng heavy machine guns and one tǐng high shè machine gun. It's okay to say that the heavy machine gun, after all, the East and West Military Region can now produce it itself, and the output is also considerable, and the loss of a few tǐng is nothing. However, there are only a few tǐng of high shè machine guns in the entire military region, and the total number of independent 77th divisions is only six, and the loss of one tǐng is enough to heartache. At the same time, the troops also began to suffer casualties, just now the two Japanese charges did not cause casualties in the machine gun company, but after a burst of shelling, Chen Erwa was heartbroken to find that eleven soldiers were killed and twenty-two soldiers were wounded. ,

However, the Japanese artillery unit could only end there, because the last mén mortar of the Japanese artillery squadron was also destroyed by the Chinese artillery unit.

However, Miyazaki was also a good man, and when the last Mén mortar was destroyed, he ordered all the cavalry of the 26th Cavalry Wing to immediately charge the position of the machine gun company. This time, Hayao Miyazaki made a bloody investment, and more than a thousand cavalrymen, including himself, received an order to fight to the death and not retreat, and would definitely not retreat unless they broke through the position of the squadron on the opposite side.

And in order to deal with the machine gun company of the squadron, Miyazaki Hadaichi ordered the machine gun squadron of the 26th Cavalry Wing to rush to the front of everyone, if it could rush to the position of the squadron, it would be good, once the attack was blocked, the machine gun squadron would immediately set up a machine gun position on the spot to counterattack and suppress the machine guns of the Chinese army.

To deal with the trap, Miyazaki ordered each of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron to carry a large bag of sand, which he was to fill in a road.

The sound of the war horse collapsing sounded again, Chen Erwa knew that the Japanese army was about to charge again, but this time the firepower of the machine gun company was not as fierce as before, but Chen Erwa did not flinch, he knew that his machine gun company was the protagonist of today, although there were still more than 600 people in the sharp knife battalion behind, but the firepower was not as fierce as his machine gun company.

"Dada..................."

"Dada..................."

The distinctive sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun sounded again, and as soon as the Japanese cavalry unit entered the shè of the machine gun, Chen Erwa ordered the troops to open fire. However, due to the loss of more than 30 soldiers and five or six heavy machine guns at once, the firepower of the machine gun company was obviously weakened, and at the same time, the Japanese cavalry also charged while holding the machine gun to sweep shè, which posed a great threat to the machine gun company.

This time, the speed of the Japanese cavalry center was not fast, and the whole army was consciously divided into three sections, the first section was more than 30 light machine gunners, the second section was more than 130 soldiers with horse sandbags, and finally the cavalry with mounted spears in their hands.

This time, due to the suppression of the machine gunners, the firepower advantage of the machine gun company was suddenly offset a lot, although because the Japanese cavalry could not be equipped with heavy machine guns, so the squadron was still in an advantage in firepower, but the absolute superiority when it was just launched has disappeared without a trace.

On the way to the charge, there were constantly Japanese cavalry falling from horses, but the distance of a few hundred meters was only two minutes for the cavalry, and soon the Japanese cavalry rushed to the front of the "horse pit", such a wide and deep trench is not to mention a war horse, even a tank can be trapped, so the Japanese machine gun squadron counterattacked on the spot, and on the other hand, it was to cover the second cavalry squadron to step up the filling of the pit.
