When a heavy machine gun is fired, a 12.7 mm bullet can emit a muzzle flame that can reach more than a meter long. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain a better shooting range for shooters, heavy machine guns and light machine guns will be installed on automatic weapons such as a flame suppression cap, and the weapons issued by the "exploration team" have canceled the small device of flame suppression caps in order to increase deterrence, so when Huang Li gave the order to fire, the camp wall, including the bunker outside the wall, was really like a fire dragon that had just woken up, and it was really not small to get up.

When all the automatic weapons fired at the same time, there was no "knock knock" rhythmic shooting sound at all, and all the shooting sounds converged together, forming a huge sound wave, coupled with the dust and gunpowder smoke stirred up by the gunshot, the entire temporary camp was like being thrown into the sky, and then smashed to the ground.

Both the sound and the movement are quite similar.

The Malagasy who were charging were out of luck.

Before the defenders opened fire, the Malagasy marched in a neat procession, marching in a neat pace, with their heads held high and their expressions firm, towards the makeshift camp, like warriors who were righteous and generous.

This is the scale of tens of thousands of people, and it looks really impressive.

But when the fire was fired, the natives who were still walking in the most majestic and high-spirited way just now were like being hit head-on with a sledgehammer, and the upper body flew out directly, the lower body was still in place, and some of them still relied on inertia to take another step forward, and the situation was very strange.

It wasn't until they flew out that they realized that their bodies had been broken in two, and only then did they let out an earth-shattering cry, no matter how brave the warriors.

But it's too late, such a serious injury, even the Lan Fang military doctor can't save it, these warriors who were still heroic just now can only die slowly in wailing, and there is no other possibility.

Standing in Huang Li's position, what I saw was that the Malagasy people fell down in rows like dominoes, and then the follow-up troops rushed up again, fell again, and so on.

But at this time, Huang Li must have no mercy, if these Malagasy people are allowed to rush into the camp, Huang Li and these soldiers of the "exploration team" will not be spared, so it doesn't matter whether you die or I die, there are not so many humanistic feelings.

Huang Li also didn't care about the sadness and sadness, seeing that the Malagasy people were speeding up, Huang Li was also actively responding: "Mortar preparation, three rapid fire!" ”

Generally speaking, when the light machine gun finishes firing a drum, the mortar will carry out a fire rush, which can effectively form a battlefield partition, which can not only reduce the pressure on the front-line troops, but also give the secondary shooters a quick time to change the drum and barrel.

The mortar unit of the "exploration team" has also been strengthened, and the ordinary Lanfang army, a company has a machine gun platoon, equipped with six heavy machine guns and six 80 mm mortars, and the "exploration team" still has six mortars, but the mortars equipped with the battalion's machine gun company have doubled to 18, so the "exploration team" is actually equipped with not a normal 27 mortars, but 36 mortars, don't underestimate these nine mortars, at a critical time, they can change the course of a battle.

Specific to the side that Huang Li is responsible for, the support fire is composed of 18 mortars, and these 18 mortars can throw out 54 shells in an instant, which is enough to form a battlefield partition on the front of Huang Li's side.

Compared with the chaotic machine gun fire, the explosion of the shells was much clearer, and the orange-red flames burst open, followed by not only smoke and shrapnel, but also countless stumps and broken arms and even the entire human body, which was already extremely twisted in the air, and then smashed to the ground like rag dolls, without any movement.

There is a popular saying in the army, called "veterans are afraid of machine guns, recruits are afraid of artillery", this law is not suitable for Malagasy people, they have no experience in fighting with hot weapons, so they do not understand how lethal hot weapons are, when the adrenal secretion accelerates, into the combat state to kill red eyes, those Malagasy people will not pay attention to the casualties of their comrades, they will only ignore the rush forward like robots, until the moment when they are also hit.

In the desperate frenzied attacks of the Malagasy people, almost from the first minute, the battle entered a fever pitch.

The firing frequency of all the machine guns of the "exploration team" was maintained at a very high level, and in the face of those Malagasy people who were not afraid of death, the shooters of the "exploration team" did not even have a chance to stop and catch their breath, but only knew the mechanical procedure of repeatedly pulling the trigger in their hands, knocking the enemy in front of them to the ground, and then continuing to aim at the next target.

The Malagasy people are still smart, they have the keen instincts of hunters, and will subconsciously adopt the most beneficial way of fighting, in the face of machine gun fire, soon some Malagasy people use a serpentine route to avoid bullets, and even some people use the terrain to gradually advance, struggling to get closer to the bunkers of the "exploration team".

These people are actually the most dangerous, they must be killed before they can continue to deal with other soldiers, and if the shooters are distracted by these "elites", then they will lose control of the whole.

As the battle progressed, the Malagasy people, although suffering heavy casualties, kept moving forward, starting from the first 600 meters or so, and continuing to 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, and even 200 meters, getting closer and closer to the bunkers of the "exploration team".

"Mortar, 500 range, three rapid fire!" Huang Li's expression became more and more solemn, and he now understood what Magnum meant when he said that these Malagasy people were "not afraid of death".

In Huang Li's impression, there are many armies that can be described as "not afraid of death", such as the British and French who bravely charged against machine guns and artillery in the world war, everyone can be described as "not afraid of death", but Huang Li can be sure that there are really not many Malagasy people at the level of "fierce" in front of him.

Although the British and French were brave, there were still certain rules in the battle, and when the commander found that the progress was unfavorable, the commander would use smarter tactics, or increase the intensity of firepower, or use night attacks, or detours and other means to change the unfavorable situation, in any case, even if it was a "butcher" like Mantin, he would not ignore the casualties of the troops, and exchange the precious lives of the soldiers for the enemy's bullets, which would almost certainly trigger a mutiny among the troops, even if they won the battle, they could not escape the post-war accountability.

And these Malagasy people in front of them, as if they did not know what "death" was, did not have the slightest fear, nor did they have the slightest intention of adjusting their tactics, that is, they rushed without any fear, rushed, rushed, as if they were endless, and vowed to use the tactics of crowds to flood the temporary camp of the "exploration team".

Huang Li is not worried about the combat will of the troops, but he must take into account the bearing level of the weapon, even if it is a light machine gun that can change the barrel, it cannot withstand the intensity of continuous fire.

Generally speaking, all the time automatic rifle, 300 rounds of continuous fire, the barrel will be red, if you continue to fight, the barrel will be scrapped, although the light machine gun of the "exploration team" can be replaced to extend the use of the barrel, but the handguard is not replaced, in the case of continuous mechanical movement, the bolt part will also be heated, if the gun oil is not cleaned, the bolt will even smoke, which will aggravate the possibility of failure.

The battle has only begun for half an hour, and it can be clearly felt that the density of the machine guns is much more sparse, and there are even sporadic rifle shots.

Although the Type 20 light machine gun has been greatly improved on the basis of the original Lewis and is much more advanced than the Lewis machine gun, it still has defects, mainly in the chain that cannot fire bullets.

At the beginning of the birth of the Type 20 light machine gun, Qin Zhiyuan proposed the idea of transplanting the ammunition supply device of the Makqin heavy machine gun to the Type 20 light machine gun, but after the verification of Lanfang military experts, this idea was not realized in the end.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, the use of the chain will increase the cost, and on the other hand, the weight will be too much, which will cause the inconvenience of carrying the light machine gun, which conflicts with the tactical use of the light machine gun.

The so-called "light machine gun", a very important role is to accompany the infantry action, so weight is a key factor to consider to determine the specific model, each additional kilogram of weight, in the actual use process, will add more than ten kilograms of weight to the soldiers, which is a nightmare for the soldiers who are originally to carry thirty or forty kilograms.

Therefore, all things considered, the Type 20 light machine gun did not change the original ammunition supply design, or retained the upper drum design of the Lewis machine gun.

But now it seems that this drum is too bad for the continuity of firepower, if it is to use a chain to feed the ammunition, then the shooter does not need to think about the bullet problem at all, only need to grasp the rhythm of replacing the barrel is no problem, but with the drum to feed the ammunition, first of all, the box of bullets must be pressed into the drum, and then the machine gun can be supplied, don't look at just such a procedure, but in actual combat, this is a very fatal problem.

Sure enough, in the face of the continuous onslaught of the Malagasy people, this hidden danger was finally exposed.

Even the artillerymen, who had tried their best to fire shells, were unable to stop the Malagasy men from approaching, and after a violent explosion of grenades, the Malagasy flooded the outermost pillbox.

Huang Li suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, he should have asked the names of those young men just now and chatted with them a few more words.
