Chapter 227: Assault
The sun was gradually setting, and in the county office, the magistrate of Yichang County was standing beside Yan Guang with a sneer, but Yan Guang didn't look at it, and he didn't mean to be close to this new member of the National Socialist Party at all.
Without him, just because Yan Guang was wiping his love gun.
After completing the last wiping action, Yan Guang put the handkerchief aside, and then picked up the M1911 semi-automatic pistol in his hand. This pistol was given to Yan Guang after purchasing a complete set of drawings and molds for the M1911 pistol or specially manufactured by the Colt company, in other words, this gun is a special limited edition, and therefore quite beautiful in shape.
"It's a good gun..."
Looking at the metal gun body glowing with cold light, even Feng Nan on the side had to admire.
"Of course it's a good gun, otherwise how would I have replaced the original shell gun?" As he spoke, Yan Guang put the pistol back on his waist.
M1911, a classic that has continued for more than 70 years, and after the 21st century, it is still a legend, Yan Guang can be said to have a soft spot for the M1911 pistol, so after getting this limited edition pistol, Yan Guang put the original 2 shell guns back into the box as souvenirs, leaving only this M1911 to wear on his waist. (After replacing the M1911 with the M9, the M1911 was still active on the front line, and after the 21st century, Kimber produced the political axe-type M1911, that is, the Desert Warrior, which was specially provided for special forces...) )
As an old gun that has been active for more than 100 years, M1911 has the advantages of high power and high reliability, especially the caliber of 0.45 inches, coupled with heavy bullets, it has a very high deterrent effect, and can completely knock down an enemy with one shot.
Of course, the M1911 also has some drawbacks, such as the huge recoil caused by the huge caliber, and the fact that it can only be equipped with 7 rounds...
However, in Yan Guang's opinion, these are harmless, such as the lack of accuracy caused by ultra-high recoil? The effective range of the M1911 is only 50 meters, but as an auxiliary weapon, its owner usually uses it only at 2 or 30 meters. In some complex terrain, such as trenches, tunnels and other fortifications, the use distance is not even 10 meters, and as a qualified thing at this distance, even if the recoil is great, it can be hit...
As for the reload of only 7 rounds? If you use a small-caliber pistol to hit the opponent, it is likely that the opponent will not fall down even after a few shots, but with an 11.43 mm M1911 to hit someone, only one shot is enough...
Of course, it is not only the above reasons to replace the barge gun with the M1911, after all, the barge gun has an indescribable meaning for the Chinese...
There is only one reason why Yan Guang would like M1911, and that is...
"Big caliber is a man's romance..."
As long as he thinks of the 0.45-inch caliber of the M1911 and his performance on the shooting range, Yan Guang has a feeling of blood boiling. (0.45 inches is 11.43 mm, 0.50 inches is 12.7 mm...) )
And after thinking of the production version of M1911 that he was wearing on his waist, Feng Nan also had a feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Just when Yan Guang and Feng Nan were ignoring the Yichang county magistrate, Yue Chang suddenly strode in from outside the door.
"What? The Qianjiang side has begun? ”
Seeing Yue Chang suddenly walk in, Yan Guang raised his head and asked, looking at his wrist as he spoke.
"That's right." Yue Chang shook his head and said. "Commander Zhu, the telegram they just sent back, there are still 5 minutes left, well, it should be 3 minutes before the time to attack." Saying that, Yue Chang smiled at the Yichang county magistrate, and then sat down beside Yan Guang.
The county magistrate of Yichang, who had been ignored for a long time, saw Yue Changchong smile at him, and he felt flattered.
In fact, he was quite wronged, because the National Socialist Party was not something he took the initiative to ask to join, after all, no matter how you look at it, the power of Beiyang is greater than that of the National Socialist Party, if he joins now, in case the National Socialist Party is defeated after a while, then what should he, the magistrate of Yichang County, do?
Of course, he can also say that he was forced, and he also believes that the people of Beiyang will definitely believe it, but...
Although Yichang is not a big city, it is also a relatively wealthy county along the Yangtze River, and although there are not many people staring at the position of this county magistrate, there are definitely a lot. So even if he was indeed forced to sign the application for joining the party by someone with an M1911 pistol against his head, those people would make him "voluntary" to join...
"Alas, now I only hope that this governor will win the final victory, otherwise......... I can only follow to Sichuan to beg for a living..."
Thinking of this, the county magistrate sighed in his heart, and of course, he still maintained that sneering expression on his face.
——————————
On the Qianjiang battlefield, after the shelling of the Kuomintang Army stopped for more than an hour, the soldiers on the Beiyang position somewhat relaxed.
It is no wonder, after all, there has never been a long-term uninterrupted shelling on the battlefield in China, and now that the Kuomintang Army will stop shelling, it will naturally be mistaken by them for the lack of ammunition.
But...
Just when the soldiers of the Beiyang Army on the position were relaxed, several red signal flares suddenly rose on the position of the Kuomintang Army on the opposite bank.
Before the Beiyang Army soldiers on the position could react to what was going on, the overwhelming artillery fire had once again covered the Beiyang Army position...
Although the Beiyang Army soldiers in the position were somewhat caught off guard, fortunately, the fortifications of the position were very strong and there were not too many casualties. However, just when Li Chun and others thought that the shelling would be the same as in the afternoon, after 15 minutes of shelling, the artillery fire suddenly began to extend to the rear of the position...
In the rear headquarters, after noticing this, Li Chun and Zhang Shaozeng cursed loudly.
After cursing a few times, Li Chun hurriedly sent a herald to the forward position to remind the defenders at the front to be careful of the attack of the Nationalist Army.
It's just that although there is a special passage for the company to the front, it is really unknown how many heralds can reach the forward position under such fierce artillery fire, after all, the artillery fire of the National Social Army will extend to the rear of the forward position of the Beiyang Army, just to cut off the connection between the two...
And it was when the artillery fire began to extend inward that the river-crossing troops on the beachhead began to move.
"Hurry, hurry."
On the beachhead, an officer was shouting to the soldiers below.
Below the officer, Yu Gangzheng, who had managed to survive with great difficulty, and several soldiers who had been temporarily assigned to their squad, carried the 37-mm light infantry gun forward. Although this 80-kilogram infantry gun can be somewhat inconvenient to use, it can be very useful if you want to knock out enemy fire points.
Unfortunately, although the Sichuan Arsenal is now also designing a practical version of the revolver grenade launcher, only a small number of such weapons have been produced for testing. Not only that, but as long as a large number of these new weapons can be equipped, the firepower of the National Social Army will definitely be able to reach a higher level. (A grenadier that fires grenades appeared during World War I.)
Just as he and a few new companions were rushing forward with infantry guns in the rain of bullets, two soldiers with Mauser G98 rifles suddenly stopped beside Yu Gang and said to him.
"Old Yu, you have to survive..."
Looking at the two soldiers, Yu Gang recognized that they were the ones who had helped him with infantry artillery on the beachhead in the afternoon, so he shouted at them.
"You're going to survive too."
However, these two men only had time to laugh at Yu Gang, and rushed in the direction of the Beiyang position at the urging of the officer.
On the position of the Beiyang Army, after noticing the rushing of the river-crossing troops, not only Makqin on several firing points began to exert their might, but even the Beiyang Army soldiers in the trenches also attacked the river-crossing troops with Hanyang-made grenades......... The grenade has been a weapon for a long time, but because of the evolution of warfare, after the 20th century, this weapon only shined once during the Russo-Russian War. Because of this, the Beiyang Army and other warlords in China did not adopt this weapon. Originally, this weapon should have shined again on the bloody European battlefield, used to deal with those enemies hiding in the trenches, but because the Nationalist Army used this weapon in large quantities during the Guizhou Incident, now not only the Nationalist Army in China, but also the Dian Army, the Hubei Army and the Beiyang Army have begun to be equipped with this weapon.
After all, such a cheap, but powerful and extremely practical weapon as a grenade is not so easy to appear ...
After a few Makqin guns spit out tongues of fire at the firing point, several soldiers beside Yu Gang attacked the firing point with 60 mortars. The first shell missed, but it landed in a trench, and it blew up several Beiyang Army soldiers into the sky.
The second shell was not biased, and it also made Makqin pause at the point of fire, but it didn't take long for the Makqin to spit out the tongue of fire again, and the direction was still where the 60 mortars were.
The range of the 60 mortar is about 1 km, while the range of the Hanyang-made ruler is more than a kilometer, however, the range of the ruler and the effective range are two different things, in fact, as long as the distance exceeds 300 meters, it is difficult for even the best shooters to hit the target, unless they are using a sniper rifle...
However, the Maxim machine gun is different, as a heavy machine gun with an extremely high rate of fire, even if it is a target at a distance of 1 km, the Maxim can rely on the way to form a barrage to kill the target.
So after aiming the muzzle at the 60 mortar, more than a dozen rounds fell around the mortar.
Fortunately, when the mortars were erected, they were erected in a place where there was an obstacle, although this obstacle was not very tall, but it could also block a lot of gunfire for them, so after a dozen bullets, one unlucky guy was shot, and the remaining few people did nothing.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Gang aimed the muzzle of the 37mm infantry gun at the fierce tongue of Makqin...
"Boom !!"
It was just a cannonball, and Yu Gang completely dumbed the Makqin just now...
