Chapter 26 Support
A small group of Japanese troops appeared in front of the position, and the Type 92 infantry gun, which had been roaring all day yesterday, continued to cover the charge.
The high ground where He Shenzhi is located is a more important position, and the remaining two companies are guarding the other two high grounds, which are relatively low and belong to the flank position.
This main position was the most obvious for the Japanese attack, and the only Type 92 infantry gun bombarded it all the time.
Missy Mitsusi hid in the trenches, and the Japanese infantry had not yet begun to charge, but only 92 infantry guns and three grenadiers were firing. Artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush, the Japanese army carved the rigidity of army tactics into their bones.
However, such a simple tactic gnawed at most of the country's territory, because we couldn't even reach the artillery bombardment.
The infantry artillery first took care of the firing points where the light and heavy machine guns appeared yesterday, and each of the firing points that appeared was shelled with two rounds of artillery fire, but fortunately the heavy machine guns were disassembled and moved to positions, and the light machine guns were also transferred. This shelling only turned over a few patches of earth and dug a few individual pits for the defenders.
The sparse fire of that infantry gun ended, and the three grenadiers had a limited range of fire and did not fire too much.
When they heard that the artillery fire had stopped, everyone climbed out of the trenches, lay down on the fortifications and began to shoot.
The heavy machine guns were dismantled and transferred, and without the continuous support of heavy firepower, all had to be blocked by small arms. Like what waited for the Japanese army to shoot after approaching the position for dozens of meters, Chen Yu chose to escape.
Don't shoot more than 10 meters, the Japanese troops are within 300 meters of the position, and immediately adjust the firing line with grenadiers, and wait for the firing point to start firing. Then wait for the Japanese infantry to rush to the position and engage them in a hand-to-hand battle.
There are only a few machine guns in total, so what kind of close-range fire suppression can be played to kill the enemy to the greatest extent.
In offensive and defensive warfare, the most important thing is to suppress the enemy's charge and use fortifications to kill and injure enemy troops within a limited range. The Japanese army's marksmanship was accurate, and the advantage of long-distance shooting was on the enemy, but if the Japanese army was brought closer, some people would run back in fright.
Chen Yu quickly fired bullets at the Japanese machine gun team hiding in a crater, and the dirt and weeds flew around, and the Japanese machine gun team on the opposite side temporarily stopped firing, and then quickly shifted the firing point and continued to provide fire support.
It's a pity that there was no artillery fire, otherwise a few shells would have gone down, and the machine gun group of the Japanese army on the opposite side would have been scrapped.
The sky whistled again, and the Type 92 infantry gun fired again.
A calibration shell hit the machine gun nest more than ten meters away, and the air wave overturned an unlucky brother.
"Machine gun transfer ready firing point, quick!" Chen Yu turned his head and shouted at the machine gunner.
This time there was no hesitation, the machine gunner finished firing the bullets in the box at the general target, and began to move with the machine gun in his arms, and the secondary shooter followed away with the ammunition box on his back. A dozen seconds later, a high-explosive grenade smashed into the firing point.
The Heavy looked at the previous firing point in fear, replaced the magazine, and continued to fire in short bursts at the new firing point.
'Bang bang bang ·····'
'Dada~~~'
'Bang! ’
Rifles, machine guns, explosions constantly sounded in the positions, and people kept falling.
The heavy machine guns were assembled and began to shoot, and the Japanese squads of forty or fifty people slowly rushed towards the position, some people advanced to attack, the machine guns carried out fire support, and the grenadiers suppressed the fire, and the infantry continued to attack and support in turn under the command of Jun Cao, closely coordinated, and the tactics were properly played.
The Japanese army's tactics were rigid, and the premise of rigidity was to play, and the Japanese army perfectly played the infantry tactics.
Chen Yu lay on the fortifications, his fingers correcting the rifle ruler, and his eyes were fixed on the Japanese soldier Cao who was holding a command knife in his hand.
'Bang! ’
A bullet hit the chest of the Japanese soldier Cao, who was shot and fell to the ground, and Chen Yu quickly shot all the bullets in the chamber. The Type 77 rifle had a fast rate of fire, essentially the pinnacle of the rate of fire of a hitched rifle, quickly firing a bullet at a charging Japanese soldier and then slipping down the trench.
The firing position just now was suddenly patronized by Japanese machine guns, and the dirt flew up, and even the grenadiers patronized two grenades.
There were a large number of stones in the open space outside the position, and the British threw the excavated stones around for simplicity when building the airfield, which also provided perfect shelter for the Japanese attack.
A grenade from a grenade smashed into the foxhole, scattering the bodies of the two soldiers.
He Shenzhi walked over with a rifle and stretched out his head to look at the Japanese soldiers one or two hundred meters away from the front of the position.
"The little devil's little hand cannon is not good, the more he smashes it, the more accurate it is, how accurate it used to be in the Central Plains, but now it takes three or five shots to hit one."
Chen Yu glanced at him, the accuracy of the grenadier on the opposite side decreased, he was still not satisfied, and he would be satisfied when he smashed your head.
"I don't have time to train! Why don't you call a few words to grandpa here, so they can have a reference? ”
He Shenzhi kicked him: "you, tell you the right thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
He Shenzhi said solemnly: "The three companies on the right side of the position are almost unable to resist, and when the next round of attacks occurs, Missy Mixi wants you to take those rout soldiers just now to support, and he has already gone to the British to ask for equipment and weapons." ”
"No problem." Chen Yu nodded.
"Be careful."
"Yes."
He Shenzhi took out half a pack of cigarettes from his body and stuffed them into Chen Yu's pocket, patted him on the shoulder, and thought for a while, and finally turned into a deep sigh.
"Of the dozen or so classmates who joined the army at the beginning, only two of us remained······"
Chen Yu smiled: "Give me back the mountains and rivers!" ”
"Give me back the mountains and rivers!" He Shenzhi said with a smile.
At the beginning of the July Seven Incident, they were still in college, they were full of anger, more than a dozen friends joined the army together, the teachers and students of the school saw off in tears, and relatives and friends endured goodbye. In the blink of an eye, everything withered, and only the sound of 'return my mountains and rivers' resounded in my chest.
With a higher education, they will have a good job even in this world.
But... Why should a man wear a Confucian crown, he needs to travel thousands of miles to thousands of mountains!
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Yu bent down to leave the trench and walked in the direction of the airport.
·······
Rear airfield.
Outside the airport, more than 100 soldiers were sitting on the ground, eating food, listening to gunfire, or closing their eyes and taking a nap.
Chen Yu carried the gun and said: "I am Chen Yu, the captain and company commander of the Sichuan Army, and the front is urgent!" Is there anyone willing to go with me, and the people who go will get the equipment with me. ”
"Me, me, me!"
"Can't you take a break?"
"Rest your father's hammer, and when the Japanese come, you will rest."
A third of the routs sitting on the ground got up, a third ignored them, and a third were still watching.
Chen Yu couldn't wait so much, turned around and walked towards the airport. Missy is fighting with an old Englishman, two people speaking different languages, while McLuhan is stomping on a bunch of guns with his big American leather boots.
"You just let my soldiers fight the Japanese with such weapons, are you British so poor that you don't even have machine guns and artillery, if not, why don't you sell your king's crown?"
The old man of England grimaced, still saying slowly: "This is the best weapon we can provide, you must know that we also need to defend the airport, and we can't count on these people, these dirty Moors." ”
"Fack!"
McLuhan clenched his fists: "If you insult my soldiers again, I swear I will treat you well with my fists."
Right now!
Immediately!
This is not the island of Great Britain, and the weapons you hide will not be as secure as your possessions, and don't deal with things with your disgusting country aristocratic mind. If there is no heavy firepower, will my soldiers fight with these sticks? ”
