Chapter 57, Eight Battalions
"Kill Si and give!" Jun Cao pulled out his command knife and waved it forward, and the Japanese troops who heard the order immediately began to attack.
The machine gunners of the 8th Battalion of the defenders immediately operated the machine guns and opened fire on the Japanese troops.
The Japanese seemed to have been prepared, and after hearing the gunshots, they immediately hid in the houses on both sides, and only a few unlucky people were killed on the spot.
The machine gunner is only responsible for suppressing fire, and the shooter does not care whether he hits the Japanese army or not, only the Japanese army is likely to rush out from there, so he is responsible for pouring fire there.
Class Bayi jumped happily, but of course there were not a few bullets fired. But the Japanese army was also tired of such dense firepower, and they couldn't raise their heads at all.
Suddenly, the captain gave the order to withdraw the troops, which made the Japanese troops who rushed to the front a little puzzled, and at the same time made them a little dissatisfied, they desperately rushed to this position, and because of this order, they gave up all this.
Dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, but the order still had to be carried out, so they withdrew en masse.
The captain didn't care about the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, but contacted the railway.
"Moximoxi! Is it a train cannon? Immediately fire on the midfield. ”
The thick barrel of the train on the railway behind the rear, "boom~" exploded, the muzzle of the gun spewed flames, and the recoil of the gun made the whole train tremble.
Six huge explosions sounded in a row, and the six train guns opened fire in turn, and the impact of the muzzles raised a string of snow powder.
The thick shells, with an unbeatable force, slammed into the positions of the 8th battalion. "The explosion sounded instantly, taking away more than a dozen lives, and even the scum could not be seen, because they were right in the center of the explosion.
Yu Zhongqiu was also taken aback by the power of the explosion of this shell, and a single shell reimbursed him for the number of people in a class.
"Quick, all disperse, disperse, don't pile up if you don't want to die." Yu Zhongqiu immediately shouted loudly.
The cannonballs that followed quickly also fell, slamming heavily on the ground, blowing up dust and smoke ten feet high.
"This caliber is at least more than 200 millimeters, right?!" Yu Zhongqiu looked at the smoke and dust in the sky and exclaimed. It is a pity that their long-distance communication equipment was damaged, and they could not contact the artillery, nor the stallions, so they could only hope that the large-caliber artillery positions of the Japanese army were discovered.
However, his hopes must have been disappointed, and they did not find the Japanese artillery positions.
Japanese train guns. A cannon stopped after 5 rounds, and this kind of large-caliber artillery, they did not think of using train guns before, so there were not many reserves of ammunition.
But 5 shells per cannon, that is, 30 shells, is not something that their eight battalions can afford, and 30 shells have already caused them serious losses, with 80% casualties. Large swaths of houses became bomb craters, and as for the fortifications, they were long gone.
There was a shell 100 meters away from Yu Zhongqiu, and the power of the explosion lifted him 5 or 6 heels, but fortunately, there was a house in the middle of the two, and the house collapsed directly under the impact of the shell explosion, and he was swept away by the aftermath.
The little dissatisfaction that the retreating Japanese troops originally had suddenly disappeared, if they had not withdrawn, would they have survived under the artillery fire? Apparently not.
"Attack!"
Jun Cao shouted with a command knife, but as soon as he stood up and exposed his body, he was hit by several bullets one after another, and his head was smashed like a watermelon, and he died suddenly and couldn't die anymore.
Although the 8th battalion suffered heavy deaths, only 20% survived, more than half of them were snipers, because the snipers were all scattered, not in the position, scattered all over the place, only two unlucky were lifted by shells, and the others were fine. Now these snipers have become the main force to stop the Japanese army.
Snipers are indeed a big problem for the Japanese army, they do not have effective counter-sniper means at present, and the other party's sniper methods are very clever, which makes them very helpless.
Therefore, the Japanese army can only use people to rush, after all, there are not many snipers, and one shot, there are hundreds of them, and they are only more than 100 meters away from the central road, at most twenty or thirty will die, they can bear it.
"Kill to !!"
The voice sounded again, and the Japanese soldier who was frightened by the fire and killed the soldier stood up again and rushed forward.
This time, they rushed up, which surprised the snipers in the shadows, but they quickly calmed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, since you are willing to die, then I can't not make up for it!
With a silencer, the sound of sniper rifle firing was very small, and in this noisy environment, it was even more difficult for the Japanese army to hear.
"Whoosh~" A bullet instantly killed a Japanese soldier in the head, and the other Japanese soldiers ignored it and continued to charge.
Compared with AWM, the power of SVD is smaller, although the same caliber, but SVD is the power of normal machine gun bullets, and AWM is to increase the charge, the power is much stronger, although not as good as Barrett, but also not resistant, a headshot, there will not be only one bullet hole, at least half of the head is gone, or the Tianling cover is cut off, not like Barrett directly blasted the whole head.
SVD's burst fire in this environment is much better than AWM manual loading, the rate of fire is fast, although the accuracy is not comparable, but in the current charge of the Japanese army, the personnel are very dense, as long as the ten guns are aimed at about a quick shot, basically you can hit 8 or 9 shots.
However, with the snipers shooting slowly like this, it was completely impossible to stop the Japanese army, hundreds of people hula hula rushed by, no matter how hard the snipers tried to shoot, they killed four or five, all of them combined, the Japanese casualties did not break 100.
However, as soon as the Japanese rushed through the center, they began to run on both sides, preparing to occupy the main points.
After all, the shells only blew up that piece of fortification, and it didn't affect other places, and those buildings were still standing there.
However, as soon as the Japanese army rushed in, they were immediately counterattacked by the surviving soldiers.
When the 81 bar is fired continuously, it is no worse than a machine gun, especially the light machine guns of this era, most of which do not have much ammunition load, and the 81 bar is replaced with a drum and a bracket, which is not much different from a machine gun.
But the muzzle of the 81-bar continuous fire is not very easy to control, but these are not tight, as long as the point fire is done.
When the Japanese rushed in, they were greeted by a rain of bullets, 81 bars of crazy strafing, and before these Japanese soldiers could react, they were killed by the bullets. Seeing this, the Japanese troops who followed immediately retreated, but there were sniper ambushes from the outside world, which put them in a dilemma.
"Rush, rush!" They didn't care about this, they followed behind and shouted loudly, urging the team to move forward.
Several Japanese soldiers knocked grenades on their heads and threw them into the room.
The flames of the explosion instantly submerged the entire house, and the house was still very strong and did not collapse.
After the explosion, the Japanese immediately rushed in. A corpse became tattered under the explosion, the house was in a mess after the explosion, the Japanese army turned around, only this corpse, but just this one person, but killed more than a dozen of them, these Japanese soldiers stared at this corpse, very unhappy, and stabbed a few times with bayonets to vent their anger.
Then he looked at the corpse again, pounced on it, picked it up, and looked for something valuable.
These Japanese soldiers didn't expect that the individual firepower of the Eighth Battalion was also so strong, and the weapons in their hands were all submachine guns, and they never used rifles, so strange that the firepower was so strong, but why was the accuracy of the submachine gun so high? But that's not what they think.
A Japanese soldier picked up the 81 bar and wanted to try what this thing was, but the shot was not successful, so he pulled out the magazine and looked at it, and there were bullets, and it was estimated that the gun was damaged.
The Japanese soldier threw the gun over with disdain, and muttered, "What a broken gun." ”
However, it was this broken gun that stopped the Japanese attack, blocked the Japanese army in the street, and let the snipers shoot them.
The Japanese soldiers were not stupid, so they let the snipers shoot them, they leaned their backs against the wall, threw grenades into the house, and used grenades to open the way, and the effect was quite good.
After entering the house, the sniper had no target to attack, and could only stay in the hiding place, waiting for the Japanese to come out.
In the back, a mortar squadron had just set up its number, arrived at the firing position and began shelling those places where snipers might be present, and 60mm mortar shells fell from the sky with a scream.
"Boom boom~~" mortar shells fell on the houses and exploded, and the civil ruins exploded in all directions.
"!" A man sniper crawled out of the rubble, spitting dust in his mouth, and the barrel of the SVD in his hand was deformed.
The sniper casually threw away the deformed SVD, pulled out the five fours on his waist, and was nervously guarded.
The other snipers, who were lucky, escaped the catastrophe, and those who were not lucky were hit by shells, died directly, or were buried alive by the collapsed building.
Each of the Japanese mortars emptied a base of ammunition before they stopped and blew up all the places where there might be snipers.
In order to avoid being bombed by the Japanese mortars, the snipers changed places, so that the attacking Japanese troops were greatly reduced.
However, at this time, the large force of the 256th Division behind had already rushed over, and the Japanese army was only more than half left because of the battle, and in the face of the reinforcements of the 256th Division, a charge defeated the Japanese army.
The middle lane was temporarily preserved, but the Japanese army would make a comeback, and a wing of Japanese troops was really gathered, while the Japanese heavy artillery positions and train gun muzzles were aimed here, waiting for the opportunity.
"Good work." When the reinforcements saw the eight battalions, they were all disgraced, and there were not many troops left.
"It's okay, as long as you can kill the devil, it's okay to suffer." Yu Zhongqiu said that when he mentioned the devil, his eyes flashed with anger, and he was obviously also a person with a story.
"You guys rest, the back has taught us, all pay attention, continue to attack, and pursue the Japanese army."
However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that the 256th Division did not hold the same position, but continued to advance, which caught the Japanese artillery a little off guard. (To be continued.) )
