The violent explosion of shells startled the Japanese heavy machine gunners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when they saw the effect of the shelling of the Liaodong Army, most of the machine gunners couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The artillery bombardment effect of the Liaodong Army was very poor, not to mention that there was no accuracy. The shells landed very far from themselves, and in their opinion, it was impossible for the shells to fall on them in a short time.

Therefore, after a short period of stunned, these machine gunners quickly regained their composure and continued to shoot a dense rain of bullets at the head of the city 300 meters away.

Of course, the first round of shelling by the mountain artillery company was not without effect.

Two heavy machine guns were destroyed, which to a certain extent weakened the cover fire of the Japanese troops.

Seven or eight heavy machine gunners around him who felt the threat of death at close range, fearing that the next round of shells fired by the Liaodong Army would fall on their side. Even if they, under the orders of the officers, turned a blind eye to death, they continued to shoot at the head of the city.

However, their shooting accuracy has been affected a lot because of worry and fear. It's just that because the shelling of the mountain artillery company has just begun, this effect is still very one-sided, very small, and it is not very visible.

As time passed, the mountain artillery company fired ten rounds of sixty shells at the Japanese in just two minutes.

The tide of battle is finally starting to change.

More than a hundred heavy machine guns, although the loss was less than 20%.

However, because the mountain artillery company was shooting aimlessly, the remaining heavy machine gunners of the Japanese army were affected, and they were worried that the next round of shells would come to them.

As a result, the Japanese army was left with heavy machine guns, and under the influence of these factors, they were all reduced a lot.

On the wall of the north gate of Fengcheng, I saw that more than 1,000 Japanese troops had rushed to a hundred meters away, and the bullets that suppressed themselves above their heads were not as dense as just now, and they had become messy.

The head of the regiment, Huang Yongzhong, immediately felt that his opportunity had come.

"The whole regiment has it, and we will counterattack immediately......" Huang Yongzhong, who personally picked up a rifle, stomped through the lookout of the city. Quickly fired a bullet at the same time, shouted loudly.

Immediately, a dense burst of gunfire rang out at the head of the city, where only bullets could be heard whizzing through the air.

More than thirty heavy machine guns, more than thirty light machine guns. Not to be outdone, he fired bullets at the Japanese heavy machine gun position.

The Japanese army, which was hesitating and worried, also did not expect that the Liaodong Army would counterattack at this time.

Caught off guard, dozens of devil machine gunners were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest and fell to the machine gun position.

The Japanese also knew the importance of machine-gun fire for the entire offensive.

As soon as dozens of machine guns were silent, dozens of spare machine gunners came up. Engage in cross-fire with machine gunners of the Liaodong Army.

Although the Japanese also had to worry about the deadly shells that could fall on their heads at any time when shooting.

However, after all, they had twice as much heavy machine gun firepower.

As soon as the machine-gun fire entered the stalemate stage, the losses of the machine gunners of the Liaodong Army began to creep upward.

The large number of spare machine gunners prepared by Huang Yongzhong came into play at this time.

As soon as the machine gunner in front fell to the ground, the machine gunner in the back pounced, set up the machine gun and continued to fire at the Japanese troops.

However, in the case that the number of machine guns and the quality of machine gunners were not comparable to the Japanese army, no matter how hard Huang Yongzhong tried, there was no way to overwhelm the Japanese army, and there was a tendency to be completely suppressed by the Japanese army.

The only thing that makes Huang Yongzhong happy and fortunate is. He opened fire from his own light and heavy machine guns, attracting all the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns.

Two battalions of nearly 1,000 riflemen, taking advantage of this opportunity, immediately opened fire.

Although the time was short, it still cost the Japanese army two or three hundred losses.

The remaining Japanese troops continued to advance, but for every meter advanced by these riflemen, several soldiers fell.

However, the good times did not last long, and the situation became worse.

Less than five minutes. The light and heavy machine gunners of the 4th Regiment were re-suppressed by the Japanese troops behind the stampede, and there was no way to show their heads.

Losing the stubbornness of light and heavy machine guns, nearly 1,000 riflemen at the head of the city immediately became the key targets of the Japanese heavy machine guns.

Huang Yongzhong, who was very satisfied with the performance of the mountain artillery company just now. At this time, he was also anxious and ordered loudly.

"Mountain artillery company, speed up the firing speed, and quickly suppress the momentum of the Japanese heavy machine guns......"

"Light and heavy machine gunners, give me a counterattack whenever you have the opportunity, and attract the fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns. Cover the reinforcements and shoot the Japanese attacking troops. ”

In just a few minutes of artillery fire, dozens of gunners in the mountain artillery company can be said to be more and more proficient.

Now they are already guaranteed to fire four shells per minute. In addition, the hit rate has more than doubled, and in just one minute, more than a dozen heavy machine guns were blown into scrap metal by them.

At this time, the Japanese army's more than 100 heavy machine guns had been sharply reduced to about 100.

The number of light and heavy machine guns equipped by the four regiments was still not as large as that of the Japanese army, but the four regiments were guarding the city walls and had stomps for cover.

Coupled with the height advantage of the city walls, the Japanese heavy machine gunners were completely exposed to the guns of the four regiments.

The remaining light and heavy machine gunners of the 4th Regiment took advantage of this opportunity to counterattack, and finally fought to a draw with the Japanese heavy machine guns.

Of course, this is tightly a start.

Huang Yongzhong, who breathed a sigh of relief, was confident that under the continued attack of his mountain artillery company, as long as the Japanese army lost more than a dozen heavy machine guns, those light and heavy machine gunners under his command could turn around and suppress the Japanese heavy machine guns step by step.

In this way, he has the initiative on the battlefield and can fight as much as he wants.

However, in the ever-changing battlefield, nothing can be said for sure.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese attacking troops have rushed up. There are too many Japanese, and the rifle can't kill them at all......" The chief of staff exclaimed slightly nervously, which quickly reached Huang Yongzhong's ears.

Sure enough, taking advantage of the minute when their light and heavy machine guns were completely suppressed, the Japanese army accelerated its speed and rushed directly to a range of one or twenty meters outside the city.

What's more, some Japanese had already rushed to the foot of the city wall, carrying explosive bags and began to move in the direction of the city gate. At a glance, it was clear that these Japanese were planning to blow up the city gate with explosives bags and break through the city gate.

At this time, Huang Yongzhong, who was frowning, could only come up with his last killer weapon.

"Grenades, order the brothers to use grenades immediately, and absolutely do not let the Japanese approach the city gate hole, close to the city walls......"

"Chief of Staff, just in case, bring another two hundred grenades...... I didn't expect that the first attack of the Japanese would be so fierce that they wouldn't even give us a chance to catch their breath......"

"Boom, boom, boom" Soon, a violent explosion sounded at the corner ......of the city wall.

The two or three hundred Japanese troops who were close to the city wall did not even have a place to hide, so they were blown to the ground, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Because it was the first time they encountered a grenade on the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers who were not affected behind were obviously taken aback.

Huang Yongzhong did not let go of this opportunity.

Pick up the pistol that has been loaded on his waist and fire it, and shout loudly while fighting: "Brothers, give me a hard beating, kill these **** little devils......" (to be continued.) )
