Chapter 308: Gaizhou, My Life! (iv)

On the nameless earthen bag on the west side of Gaizhou City, the artillery lightning raid bayonet tactic was implemented because of the "no conscience" that was easy to move and powerful, and the huge power and dense firepower made the Japanese army be blown up dizzy before they even had time to react, and after the enemy's artillery reacted, the "no conscience" had already been entrusted to run away.

This was a first-class mode of warfare, which took advantage of the rigidity of the Japanese army's unprepared and intensive charge tactics, and did not understand guerrilla tactics at all. However, in Gaizhou City, it was a really cruel hand-to-hand encounter. At this time, only a few cities in China, such as Shanghai and Wuchang, have reinforced concrete buildings because of foreigners or their own investment, so they are brick and wood structures like most cities.

Dozens of naval 254mm heavy guns were enough to completely destroy this place, so when Ke Shao rushed into this small city with the sharp knife battalion directly under the 1st Division, there was already a world of rubble in front of him, and a company stationed here before had dug a bunker early but still lost nearly half of its personnel.

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

"Threesomes, centered on machine guns and grenadiers." Ke Shao commanded the soldiers in a low voice, and the soldiers who had always called themselves the "tip of the knife" of the first division moved quickly, and soon formed more than 100 combat groups with the stationed robes in accordance with the requirements of the 33 tactics, and they hid in bomb craters, ditches, rubble, and even stinking pigsties. As long as you can see outside, almost all of them are occupied, and the battle groups are intertwined to form countless triangles that can support each other.

Ke Shao chose a large bomb crater, where you can clearly see the south gate of the city. The reason why he chose this place is because he had heard the commander-in-chief say in the 42nd mark before that unless the firepower on the battlefield is particularly dense, it is rare for the same crater to be hit twice. Obviously, the Japanese army is not the kind of European army that can have super-dense firepower, and even if the 254 guns on the sea come back due to ballistics and other problems, the probability of hitting here again is very small.

The crater was surrounded by the rubble of the collapsed houses that formed a natural barrier, and as soon as he led a machine gun crew to clear the shooting angle, the sound of cold gunfire could already be heard from the south of the town.

It was Ouyang Nan who shot it.

Although the 2nd Brigade suffered heavy losses in Motianling, it also made the first collective first-class merit in this war. But when his comrades-in-arms returned to Mukden to rest with the envy of others, he and several other snipers in the brigade had already come to the front line to participate in the defense. This time it was a second lieutenant who was targeted, who let this guy have nothing to show off his shiny command knife? Command is command, if you have to raise your sword and say a few nonsense words like "Great Japanese Empire" and "Imperial Warrior", you must know that the front-line officers of the Wehrmacht have canceled the obvious rank marking.

He deserves to die!

The Japanese second lieutenant who stood out from the crowd fell among the soldiers with a half-broken head like a rooster that was crowing happily but had its neck snapped. The tragic picture of blood mixed with brains also made the Japanese soldiers next to him obviously confused, and it was not until a soldier in the back shouted a few words that he stabilized the formation and continued to rush towards the city gate.

The H-75 shells exploded not far from Ouyang Nan's left side, and the splashed gravel smashed on the helmet with a clanging sound, and the smell of gunpowder smoke even blocked his mouth and nose. However, he is no longer the "egg soldier" in Qiu Wenbin's mouth, strict training, civil war and the test of gunpowder in Motianling have gradually made him an excellent soldier, so he quickly put his eyes on the scope again.

That military cao could no longer be seen, so he chose the most protruding Japanese assaulter 400 meters away, and the specially made German-made high-precision bullet mercilessly hit the assaulter's thigh, and the guy lost his ability to act after the bullet brought up a handful of blood mist. Originally, he wanted to choose the next assaulter, but two Japanese medics who ran towards this guy gave him a boost. It is difficult for medics to be deployed in large numbers through simple training, because they must have sufficient knowledge of medical treatment and trauma management, and there is still a shortage of medics in the Wehrmacht, so it is obvious that medics are worth more money than ordinary soldiers.

He didn't think about it when he chose to maximize the results, and after three consecutive shots, the two medics simply fell in a pool of blood, which meant that a squadron of Japanese soldiers lost their care.

However, although the power of nearly ten sniper rifles was amazing, the intensity of firepower determined that Ouyang Nan and they could not withstand the head-to-head rush of hundreds of Japanese troops, so after a few rounds of fighting, they retreated back as planned, and handed over the blocking task to two MG8/15 Han-III heavy machine guns. The Han-3 heavy machine gun, which was supposed to appear two years later, weighed a full kilogram lighter than the prototype because it replaced the bulky tripod with a bipod, and Liu Qinen organized research and boldly chose to thicken the barrel and reduce the water-cooled sleeve, which was more suitable for infantry carrying.

The moment the sound of da-da-da, the two heavy machine guns deployed at angles were like Japanese infantry spilling hundreds of bullets, the crazy and terrible metal bullet rain formed an insurmountable barrier, a group of Japanese soldiers who rushed through the body, blood and bullets rolled around in the queue together, when the four 120-round bullet chains were finished at maximum speed, a layer of corpses had been laid in the mud 300 meters away. Before the Japanese could think of a solution, according to the strict tactical requirement that the machine guns should not stay at one point for three minutes, the two sturdy machine gunners had already retreated to the tail of the town with their machine guns on their shoulders, and handed over the task of attacking to the grenadiers in other positions.

Sure enough, as soon as they walked on their front feet, the Japanese shells fell, but they did not gain anything except blasting up countless rubble. The grenadiers in other positions dealt another severe blow to the Japanese troops 300 meters away. Although it can't be compared with no conscience, the grenadier is far more accurate and far more rangeless, and there is no comparison in speed, and it is very dangerous to have no conscience, and it is very easy to accidentally injure one's own people, so it is only a temporary measure to increase firepower.

Dozens of grenadiers constantly threw grenades into the Japanese army, and the power of fragmentation anti-personnel shells was not small, so even after the heavy machine guns retreated, the Japanese soldiers still complained.

300 meters! 300 meters of fire barrier!

This is the distance between the life and death of infantry recognized by later generations! After the summary of the two world wars, the world's recognized ideal combat distance for infantry is 300 meters, so in the design of firearms, the range of thousands of shots is also abandoned, but the intensity of firepower within 300 meters is consolidated. Yang Qiu is currently unable to withstand the consumption of automatic rifles, even semi-automatic, but being unable to withstand it does not mean that he has to give up this line of life and death, so in the era of heavy machine guns and large-caliber rampant, he concentrated on the development of light machine guns and simple grenadiers.

The number of 400 light and heavy machine guns manufactured in January is still very insufficient compared with foreign countries, but the production scale of 2,300 grenadiers in January is the second largest manufacturer of grenadiers in the world after Germany, and Germany was only surpassed in March because of the increasingly severe situation in Europe, but before that, the number of grenadiers in the Wehrmacht's equipment and reserves exceeded 10,000. Therefore, the grenadier is also the only third equipment that has been fully popularized to the squad at present, except for rifles and grenades. When Jiang Baili saw it for the first time, he even put forward the advanced concept of squad artillery, believing that each squad should be equipped with six guns to ensure the formation of a 300-meter strong firepower advantage coverage, but it was shelved only because the ammunition consumption was too large.

As a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, he lost half of his troops at Yingkou and was very embarrassed, if it weren't for General Terauchi Masatsuki's promotion, and more than 1,000 reserve soldiers were added to the country, maybe the 74th Wing would have been nailed to the pillar of shame like the 38th Wing. So he attached great importance to this battle and vowed to slaughter these ** people. But before the ideal began, they found that their infantry was beaten to the ground at a distance of 300 meters, because the effective range of the 38 rifle was only less than 500 meters, which required an exceptionally accurate veteran to hit, so there was no means to even return fire!

"Let the naval artillery come to the rescue, right?" As soon as a staff officer made a suggestion, he was glared back by Hanoi Xiu, when is the army going to see the navy's face and eat? Before, the navy had politely cleared the obstacles with heavy artillery, and bombed Gaizhou City to the point that only a few lonely buildings remained, and even the city walls collapsed nearly half.

"Assault, assault of the whole army!"

"Let all the soldiers run!"

In the roar of Hanoi Xiu, the 74th Wing began to play the traditional tactic of not killing again, and the soldiers got up from the ground under the reprimand of the officers and launched a surprise attack on Gaizhou City from three directions at the same time, and when the number of targets suddenly exceeded the intensity of firepower, the 300-meter line was gradually lost.

"Come on." Facing the Japanese army that was getting closer and closer in all directions, Ke Shao rudely ripped open the collar of his neck, this man who had been fighting from Hanyang to the present saw so many enemies, not only was he not afraid, but roared excitedly: "Little Japan, grandpa your emperor's eighth generation ancestor to fire!" ”

With this shout, Gaizhou City, which had been monotonous and dull just now, suddenly went into a frenzy, and countless fire points burst out from under the rubble, behind the window, in the ditch, and in the bomb crater! Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenadiers, mortars, and so on! The ruins and ruins of the small city that could no longer see the shape of the city were shot loudly, shouting and killing the sky. The Japanese infantry who were pouring into the city were suddenly dazed by this metal whirlwind, and many soldiers who were rushing forward were already hit by bullets before they could understand why there were so many enemies here after the baptism of naval heavy artillery.

"Yaga! These cunning bastards! ”

Looking at the fallen soldiers in circles, Hanoi was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again: "Artillery, where are my artillery?" up there! ”
