Chapter 171: Fire

However, even though the preparation time for the devil's artillery fire was much shorter than the previous two times, Wang Shizhen still felt a huge pressure when he saw the black devil with a cloth strip on his head, singing military songs, and rushing towards the third line of defense.

On the contrary, the regimental commander Zhang seemed extremely calm, as if he had not seen those devils at all, and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment on the position remained silent all the time, and none of them fired back.

The charging devils thought that the Qing army on the position had run out, and they were even more energetic when they rushed up, and the originally orderly formation became scattered, and everyone roared and rushed forward desperately, wanting to seize the great achievement of attacking the enemy's position first.

Seeing that the Japanese army was getting closer and closer, and they were about to rush to within 200 meters, Wang Shizhen glanced at Regiment Commander Zhang, who seemed to be a stone man, and was about to order the pro-army team to open fire, but saw that Regiment Commander Zhang stretched out his hand and covered his mouth all of a sudden, and said in a low voice, "Get closer, don't worry!" ”

Commander Zhang's hand strength is not ordinary, Wang Shizhen finally broke free, and was about to ask a question, but saw Commander Zhang suddenly pull out his pistol and "snap" it into the air, and then saw countless Jiawu-style water-cooled heavy machine guns being pushed out of one by one Tibetan pits!

"The head work is mine!" , Squad Leader Ono rushed to the front first, he had already made a lot of meritorious deeds before, if he could rush to the enemy position first this time, he would probably be promoted to squadron leader, which was a qualitative change. With his mind full of hopes for a better future, Ono didn't react immediately after the machine guns were introduced, and he didn't wake up until tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle, but it was too late to react at all

Due to the close distance, Ono was hit by seven or eight bullets at once, and the 8mm pointed bullets rolled wantonly in his body, tearing and grinding all his skin, muscles, and even a large number of internal organs such as liver, gallbladder, stomach, and spleen, and spilling blood and filth on the ground

Ono's entire upper abdomen was almost completely hollowed out, and it was only because he was lucky not to be directly hit by a bullet that he could barely break his spine that was not completely disconnected, so that it was not broken in two like a prisoner who was cut in half. But what difference does it make? With such a heavy injury, even in the 21st century, no one can save Ono.

But Ono didn't die immediately, he couldn't have thought of so much, the indescribable pain completely occupied his mind, and after roaring like a slaughtered boar for a while, he finally swallowed his last breath after his strength was completely lost

Ono is not the worst among the Japanese army, there are by no means one or two dead corpses, even if it is at a distance, after the bullet hits the human body, it will only penetrate directly and will not roll in the body, and the lethality is greatly weakened, and few of the guys who were beaten and danced can survive, the 8mm caliber is placed there, and one shot will be seriously injured, if you take several shots, unless you are particularly lucky (PS: How many bullets have been hit, how lucky can you be?) Don't think about standing up again in this life

In just a few minutes, Wang Shizhen saw the fire snake dancing in his field of vision, and the thousands of Japanese soldiers who were clamoring to rush over seemed to be swept through the rice fields by a storm, and all of them fell down, even if Wang Shizhen was born as an artilleryman, after seeing the huge power of the heavy machine gun for the first time, he still couldn't help but feel palpitations, "This is the electric gun, no, is it the real power of the machine gun?" It's scary! ”

In order to ensure that he could quickly break through the third line of defense and completely destroy the morale of the Mukden Qing army, he sent all the remaining available soldiers of the two main wings in one go.

"Is this the mysterious weapon that destroyed the 3rd Cavalry Brigade? It's terrible, it's terrible! A full seven thousand elites, and they were wiped out in a few minutes? Katsura Taro gritted his teeth and pulled out his saber and slashed indiscriminately, venting the anger and remorse in his heart, "The hateful Chinese rebels, who arrived early tomorrow, actually hid until now before making a move, ahhhhhhh I hate it! Hateful! Seven thousand! ”

Katsura Taro did have reason to regret that if he hadn't sent all the main forces up at once and lined up so densely, he wouldn't have suffered such a big loss.

Katsura Taro also has reason to be resentful, if the cavalry regiment is directly deployed in the first line of defense, Katsura Taro will only lose one infantry wing to find out the truth, and then he will definitely be more cautious and cautious, and will not lose most of the capital at once like now, the number of 7,000 people only accounts for a small part of the third division, but it is the most elite unit among them, if it is really lost, the combat power of the third division is afraid that even half of it will not be left.

However, Katsura Taro also got one thing wrong, the 7,000 people were not all killed, after all, it was only a few minutes, and the heavy machine gun was not so powerful, and many of them were just scared to the ground, but they were actually alive and well!

You see, as soon as the gunfire of the cavalry regiment stopped, there were immediately devils who lay down and pretended to be dead and got up, but they were obviously frightened, and their first reaction after getting up was to turn around and run away, and no one dared to continue to carry out the task assigned by the division commander before.

However, the machine gunners of the cavalry regiment were not prepared to let these invaders go back, even if the number of people was scattered and it was not worth wasting too many bullets in strafing, it was still okay to shoot short bursts and treat them as practice target shooting!

Seeing that so many subordinates were just pretending to be dead, Katsura Taro was so angry that he was about to scold, but he immediately reacted and sighed faintly, although he was very angry, it was better to be able to escape back than to be wiped out. But it soon became clear that even such a wish did not seem so easy to come true

Seeing that the Japanese officers and soldiers who got up and fled were beaten one by one, Katsura Taro slapped his thigh fiercely, and turned his gaze to the artillery position that was now meaningless, if there were still shells at this time, he only needed to fire a few shots at the enemy's firepower, and there was a great hope that he would pick up those subordinates who had fled, "Why?" Why did I have them run out of shells before? ”

Katsura Taro has never, never hated his character as much as he does now, decisiveness is a good thing, but decisiveness to the point of leaving no room for doing things, it can only be said to be a character flaw. Because if you leave no room for error, if everything goes well, once you encounter unexpected changes, there is no chance of recovery (to be continued). )
