"Boom! Boom......" In the roar of guns, Liu Songshan looked at the red square in the firelight with a calm face. The resistance of the Japanese army was unexpectedly strong, and the red troops, of nearly 30,000 men, still did not make much progress.

Although this is due to the red release of water, it has not broken through to the forward position of the Japanese army, which makes Liu Songshan's face quite unsightly. Although I thought that the frontal combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was very amazing, I did not expect that the resistance of the Japanese army would be so strong!

At this time, the chief of staff hurriedly walked over to Liu Songshan and said in a deep voice: "Our plan has entered the step, and the Japanese army wing in Longyan has been dispatched!" They sent a vanguard and were preparing to leave the city! ”

Liu Songshan nodded with a calm face, and said to the chief of staff: "Let the harassing troops along the way be ready, and at the same time tell the comrades on the front line!" Don't slack off, don't give the Japanese army a chance! ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff answered, and then hurried down to deliver the order.

And in Longyan City, a figure hurriedly came to Huo Qingyun from the tunnel of the courtyard and said softly: "The Japanese army has begun to move!" ”

Huo Qingyun nodded to indicate that he understood, and then did not squeak again. And this person turned around and left the courtyard after seeing Huo Qingyun's signal.

He knew what Huo Qingyun meant, the current fire was not strong enough! It was necessary to have sufficient fire to be able to transfer most of the strength of the Japanese army. In this way, the danger to the crow will be small.

Although the crow is an elite, it is a human being, not a god after all! There is no ability to shoot machine guns and bullets with flying knives in anti-Japanese dramas. When shot, they will bleed. It's also possible to die. If too many Japanese troops stay in the city, there is no doubt that the crows will also be at extremely high risk.

And after the Akagi Brigade in Longyan City was assembled, they rushed towards the Red Fang under the leadership of the captain Akagi Yoshicheng! Akagi Yoshinari was full of confidence, in his opinion, the troops besieging the Red Fang were nothing more than a rabble!

With a single charge, you can break them up! Moreover, they are not the only troops that are going to support. There were also several brigades and squadrons on their way to support - and the commander of the garrison division did not want to see the first lost occupation in his own hands.

"Squeak~~" The heavy gate of Longyan City was opened in the middle of the night, and the cavalry team of Akagi Jiacheng's brigade took the lead out of Longyan City.

And behind, followed by infantry and heavy machine-gun teams. The forward cavalry units spread out to reconnoiter in all directions, while the infantry units in the rear were divided into three groups. Each strand is about three hundred meters apart. Towards the Red Square!

Along the road, Akagi Yoshinari and the others arrived at Xiayang Village, which was needed to go to Hongfang. This road was built by Jiang Zhongzheng when he was suppressing bandits, although it was a dirt road, it was not built for a long time, so it was good for marching.

After the Japanese occupation, some repairs were made, but basically the roads and bunkers left behind by Chiang Zhongzheng were still used. And now the reason why the Japanese army was able to withstand the red attack was due to the communication trenches and pillboxes left by Chiang Zhongzheng.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Tom~Tom...... Rumble! Boom ...... "On the positions of the Japanese army, the roar of heavy machine guns and the bombardment of grenadiers resounded together! Countless warriors who rushed forward were knocked to the ground and fell in pools of blood......

Liu Songshan, who commanded the position at the front, had a blue face and did not say a word. He knew that the Japanese positions were difficult to attack. But when I saw it with my own eyes, I knew why it was so difficult.

Because the Japanese army, whether it is charging or defending, is extremely good at using one weapon - grenadiers!

The attack range of ordinary grenades is only more than 30 meters. And the grenadier is extremely powerful! The Red Square Brigade is equipped with a WU69 heavy grenadier with a caliber of 50 mm, a total length of 610 mm, a weight of 47 kg, and a significant range!

The maximum range is 670 meters with the WU69 grenade, and up to 1200 meters with the specially made 91 grenade! But basically, the range of the Japanese army using it is only about 200~300 meters, and due to the short launch distance, it has a very high accuracy rate of launching grenades! And the grenades it fires can kill up to 8 meters!

The ammunition used in the WU69 grenadier is the Type 91 grenade. It is basically the same as the individual grenade Type 97 grenade commonly carried by Japanese infantry in World War II. The cylindrical cast iron projectile body is used, and there are vertical and horizontal grooves on the outside, which divides the projectile body into 50 pieces. The blasting section is equipped with 65 grams of TNT explosives and has a radius of 8 meters!

And it's another benefit: portable! At that time, mortars of the same caliber in the world generally exceeded at least 6 kg, and the WU69 grenadier was less than 3 kg, which was lighter than the weight of a rifle! Even if you use a professional 91-type grenade, it is only 045 kilograms, and an ammunition bag with eight rounds is only 36 kilograms.

Including the grenadiers, the entire combat system is less than 7 kilograms, which is much lighter than a Czech light machine gun. This allowed the Japanese front line to be basically equipped with this kind of fierce and portable weapon.

Basically, a few grenadiers are enough to block a path of fire! Therefore, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, although the WU69 team was extremely heroic, the lack of heavy firepower was fatally wounded!

The Japanese army relied on grenadiers. Resisted the attack of the WU69 team! In fact, not only the WU69 team, but also the US military suffered a lot of losses in the grenadiers.

Although the U.S. military poured 1,200 tons of artillery shells and bombs per square kilometer on Iwo Jima, it still suffered more than 2.86 million casualties, compared with 250,000 Japanese troops defending the island at that time! Although the entire army was annihilated, it caused extremely serious casualties to the American army.

......The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were roaring, constantly suppressing the soldiers who tried to stand up and charge! They had to lie down to avoid the flying bullets.

Subsequently. Those grenadiers are starting to use their might! Once they had divided the area, they used their grenadiers to shoot grenades two meters in front of them!

"Tom~Tom...... Rumble! Boom ......" With the sound of explosions, soldiers kept falling in pools of blood! The platoon commander who commanded the operation shouted fiercely with red eyes: "Withdraw!" ”

These soldiers could only slowly withdraw from the position discovered by the Japanese army. Looking at the situation on the position, Liu Songshan did not blame the platoon commander who chose to retreat.

He saw it. These grenadiers have an extremely fast rate of fire! The shooters on those Japanese positions could reach about 20 rounds per minute, and in the minutes of the charge of the red fighters, the grenadiers could already shoot a large number of grenades! A barrage is formed.

And the heavy machine guns roared! The soldiers could only choose to lie down and dodge in the face of fan strafing, and the Japanese army would launch grenadiers again to bombard the hidden fighters!

He looked at the Japanese position with a gloomy face, and he wondered: how did the Wehrmacht break through this combination of firepower back then......

This use of grenadiers by the Japanese army is not new! In fact, Tu Qianjun was able to crack it, and it was inseparable from the research of the US military later.

In the Pacific War, the Japanese grenadiers played a huge role. First of all, the Japanese machine guns took advantage of the advantageous terrain of jungles and mountains to suppress the American soldiers, and the grenadiers could be used in any terrain.

It can be launched in the concealed fortifications of the Japanese army, using the curved trajectory to kill and injure the hidden American soldiers.

To deal with this kind of attack, the way the US military uses is: bombardment! Lots of bombardment! Use your air and land firepower superiority to carry out targeted killings of any exposed Japanese firepower points!

Swift communication allowed the U.S. Army to notify the heavy artillery units in the rear to strike at a fixed point after discovering the Japanese grenadiers! This method was clearly effective, and in the Battle of Iwo Jima, which had a high casualty ratio, and the subsequent Battle of Okinawa, the Americans suffered another 660,000 casualties, but annihilated 110,000 Japanese troops.

This was the result of this use of firepower, but Tu Qianjun clearly did not intend to follow the Americans. He chose to drum up a single weapon to restrain it, and that is the Wehrmacht's anti-RPG7 bazooka - Fire Raven!

The use of fire crows is enough to counter the effectiveness of the Japanese army's grenadiers. However, due to the good secrecy done, the Japanese army still believes that the Wehrmacht should be equipped with an improved Taisho 10-year grenadier.

Little did they know that the Wehrmacht would use rockets as their new means of attack!

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! Boom ......" Seeing the red warriors below being constantly repulsed, the crow members who were observing with binoculars on the col said to the team leader next to him: "Captain, do we want to give them a hand?!" It's so hard to watch them fight like this......"

Xue Yingyi, the leader of the crow quadruple team, was silent for a while, and said to the baby who opened his mouth: "You go down and ask, it's not good for us to meddle in this kind of thing rashly." And we have to coordinate well, and if they agree, we'll use the 'Tiger Roar' to support them......"

The baby answered, and then ran down to ask the red. Liu Songshan, who was at the forefront, asked people to bring this baby over, and said to him: "I know you are kind, but now is not the time." You'll have to wait, but you can't hide it when I need fire support later! ”

Do you have to wait at this time?! This baby is a little inexplicable, but he still reported it to his superior.

He didn't know that Liu Songshan was waiting for the war along the way! In Xiayang Village, Akagi Yoshinari's troops have already exchanged fire with the red troops who are in ambush!

However, these red troops followed the previous style of guerrilla warfare and did not go toe-to-toe with Akagi Yoshinari. Instead, he chose to evacuate directly after a sneak attack.

"Boom! Boom ......" someone in the advancing team touched a mine, and the people whose horses and cavalry were bombed turned on their backs. Akagi Yoshinari looked gloomy, as if he sensed that something was wrong.

And on the hill in the distance, several observers were watching Akagi Yoshinari coldly and analyzing them in detail...... (To be continued)
