Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037: Does the enemy have the initiative?

The Japanese army has rich experience. From the sound of gunfire and the trajectory of the bullets, they analyzed that this should be a German submachine gun and a bolt-action single-shot rifle commonly used by Chinese soldiers.

More importantly, the Japanese army judged that there would not be many defenders on the high ground on the top of the mountain, at least not as many as the green smoke rising everywhere on the high ground.

This can only be said that the Chinese are spreading doubts about the past.

For soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, this is a sign of guilty conscience.

Although it may be a trap by the Chinese, the desperate situation of not advancing or death made the Japanese commanders and infantrymen choose the former.

The Japanese infantry attacked resolutely, dividing 8 people on one side and 16 people on the other, approaching the hilltop position in two directions.

The face of Lao Abacus, who was observing the movements of the Japanese troops through the shooting hole, was extremely bitter.

I don't know what kind of big shot is being carried on the stretcher. These three Japanese squads are actually reinforced squads. The light machine guns and grenade launchers they are equipped with are not the two light machine guns and two grenades that a squad should have. Instead of having a grenade launcher, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun and a grenade launcher.

　　Except for the grenadier of the vanguard squad who was hiding, several people from the two squads behind were also hiding, even hiding behind the light machine guns.

Although the grenades they were carrying were not clearly seen, for veterans like Lao Baanpan who had dealt with the Japanese army countless times, this tactical behavior meant that they had long-range attack firepower.

To be honest, if there were no grenades, the Japanese army would not have more than 40 people, but the three of them, Lao Bapan, had a semi-automatic rifle, a sniper rifle and a submachine gun with enough bullets. They were a very complete firepower team. , and relying on the advantages of fortifications and condescending terrain, it was completely possible to suppress more than 40 Japanese infantry in the valley.

Even, as long as there is enough time, the three of them can shoot the Japanese soldiers who have few bunkers in the valley one by one.

However, when the Japanese army had grenade launchers, even as many as three, everything became different.

For the three Chinese soldiers, any time they fired, they had to find a new fighting position, otherwise, the grenades fired by the Japanese grenadiers would tear them into pieces.

Sandbags and stones may be able to block rifle and light machine gun bullets, but they cannot block grenades thrown from high altitudes by grenade tubes similar to small mortars.

In other words, although the three light machine guns set up by the Japanese army were conducting burst fire reconnaissance at various locations on the mountain top, what worried the three Chinese soldiers the most was hiding behind the rocks and waiting to open fire on the high ground. Japanese grenadier who found the approximate location of his opponent.

“Squad leader, if you and Tudou are moved or immobile, leave it to me.” Yang Bicheng's steady voice came from the other end.

“Okay, Tudou, do you hear me? Give me a shot at the Japs who are aiming at me. Everyone, please be careful. You will change my nest after five shots at most.” Old Abacus shouted loudly.

Although the Japanese army has short legs, they attack very quickly under pressure. As they speak, they are already only 50 meters away from the foot of the mountain, and the straight-line distance from the top of the mountain is no more than 120 meters at most. The khaki figure is among the stones and bushes. is clearly visible in .

The semi-automatic rifle in Tudou's hand was the first to speak, "Bang! Bang! Bang!." Almost without taking a breath, he pulled the trigger and fired five rounds of bullets, knocking down the two Japanese who were rushing to the ground.

At the same time, Lao Abacus's submachine gun also began to fire. He turned around and fired at the Japanese light machine gun that had found the target. He fired at the position of the 16 Japanese troops with the largest number of attackers and finished the 32 rounds in the long magazine in one go. Bullets, regardless of the outcome of his battle, Lao Abacus dragged the gun with one hand and quickly rolled over and left his fighting position, then rolled and climbed to a depression ten meters away.

The experience of dozens of battlefields saved his life.

Before the Army sergeant could put his head in his hands to avoid the possible grenade explosion, a grenade exploded only six or seven meters away from the sandbags. The grenade was no less powerful than a grenade, causing it to stir up soil and grass roots. It fell overwhelmingly on Lao Abacus.

If this amount of damage is nothing to the soldiers on the battlefield, the four consecutive grenades that flew over represented the determination and ability of the Japanese army to kill their opponents in one fell swoop.

The previous one was nothing more than a test projectile at best, but its accuracy with an error of no more than six meters was enough to make any opponent's hair stand on end.

The next four grenades even estimated the possibility of the opponent leaving the fighting position. Except for two that exploded in an area less than two meters away from the original position where Lao Abacus stayed, the other two extended three meters to the left and right sides respectively. It was only four meters away from where the old abacus was staying now.

That is to say, the old abacus lay low enough, otherwise even if he was not blown away by the air wave generated by the grenade explosion, he would be blown into a **** gourd by the broken shrapnel.

Japanese grenadiers have the reputation of being the most hated branch of the Chinese army's machine gunners, and it's true.

The Japanese army had three groups of grenade launchers. Tudou was also attacked by grenade launchers, but because he had a single-shot rifle, he was only hit by two grenades.

Obviously, the Japanese army was extremely scrupulous about Lao Abacus's powerful submachine gun. They used at least two grenade launchers to take care of it and fired five grenades at once.

"Potato, are you okay?" Old Abacus shook his head, which was dizzy from the huge explosion. He didn't care to check whether he had been injured by shrapnel, and shouted loudly.

In this kind of battlefield where extreme tension leads to surges of adrenaline, soldiers sometimes don't even feel pain. Many times they don't know they are injured until they touch blood with their hands.

Adrenaline can be used as an analgesic to relieve the pain of soldiers, but on the other hand, it also has a fatal weakness. It can cause excessive blood loss without the soldier knowing it. Therefore, experienced soldiers will check themselves for wounds after evading a round of attacks. Rather than just relying on pain.

"Bah, Gouri's bombing was really accurate. I was fried until I had a mouthful of mud." came Tuduo's angry voice, which made Lao Baanpan put his mind down for the time being, and turned his gaze to himself, confirming that he No injuries.

He didn't ask Yang Bicheng, who had remained silent, and there was no need to ask.

Yang Bicheng is no longer what he used to be. As long as he shoots, the little devil's grenade hand will die.

The precision shooters in the infantry squad were specially trained by the Four Lines Regiment to deal with important targets such as Japanese grenadiers and light machine gunners.

They are like hunters hiding in the dark, always harvesting the most valuable prey.

This is not how forward-thinking Tang Dao is, but the inevitable result of all Chinese armies being forced out by reality. It's not just unique to the Four Lines Regiment. Even the Eightyth Army, which was extremely short of ammunition in the past, would not hesitate to spend ammunition to train sharpshooters to reduce the damage caused by grenade canisters to its own side.

The only difference is that the Four Lines Group's training of precision shooters is almost abnormal in terms of expenditure and training methods.

Under non-war training conditions, a noncommissioned officer who serves as a precision marksman in an infantry squad fires more than 100 rounds of live ammunition every day.

And the requirement is that without a scope, the eight-ring hit rate is 80%, and the range is more than 250 meters. With the scope, the nine-ring hit rate is over 80%, and the range is more than 300 meters.

Taking off their military uniforms, the thick calluses on their shoulder sockets and elbows are the most obvious sign of the precision shooters of the Four Lines Regiment.

Yang Bicheng, after receiving major stimulation to get rid of his natural shortcomings of timidity and cowardice, is simply a talented soldier.

Whether it is neurological reaction, target capture or shooting talent, he is the first-class choice in the four-line group.

The biggest reliance that allowed Lao Abacus to summon up all the courage to launch an attack on an infantry squad was not the terrain and fortifications, but the existence of Yang Bicheng.

Although Yang Bicheng has not yet reached Niu Er's level of sniping and killing targets from 500 meters away, he has a record of successfully sniping and killing two Japanese grenadiers from 380 meters away. When Wei Dong came to ask for help, Li Jijin was extremely reluctant, but he finally agreed after thinking about the tragic battle at Mouse Mountain between the Iron and Steel Company.

Old Abacus grinned as he turned his attention to the battlefield again. No wonder the Japanese grenadier fired five grenades at him like a dead mother.

Although each of the 16 Japanese soldiers in the direction of his shooting were more than 2 meters apart, they carefully maintained their traveling speed and relied on natural stones and other objects to avoid attacks from the top of the mountain as much as possible. However, at a distance of 120 meters, they were completely within range. The damage caused by the MP28 submachine gun pouring out 32 rounds of bullets in three seconds is comparable to that of a heavy machine gun.

At least four Japanese soldiers were hit by 9mm Milug bullets. To be precise, they were hit by modified standard Luger bullets from the Sixing Regiment Arsenal. Although they were all 9mm standard, under Tang Tuanzuo's suggestion The modified 9mm submachine gun bullets are much more powerful than the original bullets issued.

The arsenal led by Teacher Xiao He, after entering May, with the help of the machinery and materials brought back by Tang Tuanzuo from Linfen, went all out to produce several types of bullets required by Tang Tuanzuo, including 9mm standard submachine gun bullets.

Slightly different from the DUM bullets whose bullets are prone to twisting and deforming, this 9mm bullet has a small amount of charge but is enough to ensure a straight trajectory of 140 meters. The front part is hollow, although the penetration of hard fortifications has become worse. But if it hits someone, it would be terrible.

The hollow front part will cause the warhead to expand when it encounters an obstruction, making the wound several times larger than the warhead area, and it may get stuck in the body, causing larger tissue damage and bleeding. Even if it misses the vital point, it will still take half a life. Life". The most terrible thing is that this kind of bullet is still a submachine gun bullet. Once you are unfortunate enough to be shot, it is often not possible to finish the job with just one shot.

None of the fallen Japanese soldiers may have been hit in the vital points. They are still rolling in the grass, but in the eyes of the old abacus, they are already dead. The massive blood loss will take away their lives within five minutes.

In other words, within five minutes, the huge wound would hurt them to death.

The Japanese army was ferocious and cruel. No one stopped to care about the four wounded soldiers who were already destined to die. They resolutely continued to attack under the cover of their own grenade launchers that had already spoken.

Perhaps they felt that the six casualties in the first round of Chinese attacks were too heavy. Under the orders of the re-established commander, five more Japanese infantrymen who were responsible for covering the rear rushed out, basically making up for the losses just now. The number of attacking Japanese infantry increased to 23.

Of course, that also means that the Japanese army basically has no infantry except for the 6 machine gunners and 6 grenadiers responsible for covering the rear. They basically came out in full force, including the two infantrymen who had been guarding Yamashita's stretcher. were involved in the attack.

The old Chinese man who was forced to lead the way was forced by the Japanese army to hide behind a stone in front of the machine gun shooter, including his little wild boar.

From this point of view, the Japanese army still has great hope of breaking out of this valley, and they need a living guide.

If they were really desperate, given the ferocious nature of the Japanese army, not only the old people would die, but even the Chinese wild boars would not be spared.

Of course, the Japanese army now has almost no choice but to devote almost all its infantry to the attack.

They are out of time.

If you don't work hard, you may not have the chance to work hard in the future. Three light machine guns and three grenade launchers are very powerful against the small number of Chinese on the top of the mountain, but for the main force of the Chinese, they are scum. The 82 mortars they are equipped with can fire at 1,000 meters. Just blow them up into parts.

Thousands of meters away, the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, which meant that the Chinese were almost killing all their "brave" compatriots.

The strong sense of crisis was like an invisible shackle, tightening around the necks of dozens of Japanese soldiers, getting tighter and tighter, making them extremely frightened.

The crisis of six consecutive casualties of his companions seemed insignificant under this inexplicable fear.

They must rush into the position as soon as possible, kill all the Chinese, and then escape.

The Japanese army's awareness of the crisis was very accurate.

The front edge of Position 6, 900 meters away, was already filled with Japanese troops.

For the infantry of the Four Lines Regiment, which has a large number of automatic firearms, it is a pure suicide tactic for the Japanese infantry to launch a "board charge" without adequate artillery support.

The only infantry gun of the Japanese army actually persisted for a long time, bombarding the Chinese position with fourteen rounds of artillery shells, and even blew up a light machine gun fire point and two light machine guns. Otherwise, the Japanese infantry might have to fight even more. Finished early.

The Chinese mortar fired sixteen shells before it was able to kill the infantry artillery hidden under the cover of a protruding cliff.

The battle positions chosen by the Japanese artillery were very tricky. They could not protect themselves against direct-aimed artillery, but they were very protective against curved artillery. Unfortunately, they overlooked one point. No matter how hard the rock is, it will loosen after a long time of bombardment.

Thousands of kilograms of rock collapsed by the shells fell and smashed the Japanese artillery and infantry guns. Even the hard barrel steel was flattened, let alone the fragile human body.

Without the infantry artillery, I don't know whether those Type 92 heavy machine guns were killed by mortars in the end, or they ran away timidly. Anyway, at the most difficult time for the Japanese infantry, they lost the support of the heavy machine guns that were still roaring. .

As a result, the remaining covering firepower that the fifty or sixty Japanese troops could rely on was only a few grenade launchers. Obviously, they could no longer suppress the firepower on the position as before.

How exaggerated is the firepower of the MP28 submachine gun with full firepower combined with the semi-automatic rifle?

Post-war statistics show that Highland 6, with 18 soldiers, fired 4,000 rounds of various types of bullets in less than 20 minutes of combat, with an average of 220 rounds per soldier.

In the past, it would have been enough to fight three large battles, but here, it was actually shot by an infantry squad in 20 minutes.

Of course, the two MP28 submachine guns emptied 12 long magazines, and the two light machine guns and the heavy machine gun responsible for supporting them accounted for the majority of the more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition fired, but the other dozen infantrymen He fired more than 1,600 bullets from a semi-automatic rifle, which is astonishing enough.

When both sides do not have enough artillery cover, the number of bullets represents the attack power.

Whether the Japanese troops charged forward one after another, or fell to the ground to avoid it, as long as they entered the 100-meter fire range, they were basically either injured or killed.

Then, with the sound of gunfire behind them, the nearly 30 remnants of the Japanese army who were still crawling in front of the position were completely desperate.

Reinforcements from the Second Company finally arrived.

That was more than 35 people from the two infantry squads that arrived one after another. Not only did their total strength exceed that of the surviving Japanese army, but they also formed a pincer attack situation.

The second lieutenant platoon leader who received the red signal flare fired from the direction of Lao Abacus finally understood the Japanese plan of "escape from the shell". They actually cruelly abandoned the main force in exchange for the survival of a few people.

The second lieutenant platoon leader knew very well that even if it was a small number of people, they would not know how many of the trio there were, otherwise they would not have fired the two red flares they carried.

In a hurry, he ordered the other highlands to detach half of their troops each to support the two flank positions. He wanted to kill these Japanese troops in the shortest possible time so as to support Lao Abacus and Tudou.

That boy, Potato, is one of the symbols of the Steel Company.

After all, back then, the entire Seventh Steel Company, including Captain Wei Donglai, was lying unconscious in the medical team. Only Tudou, a young boy, went to the position where they once stationed.

The figure of a solitary man holding a hand covered in flesh and blood moved the faces of countless soldiers from the Sixth Battalion.

In a sense, the potato is a flag, a living flag.

The red-eyed second lieutenant platoon leader arrived with 22 soldiers. A total of more than 70 Chinese soldiers attacked more than 30 Japanese troops on the **** under the cover of heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers.

The original offensive and defensive sides were miraculously interchanged.

However, at this time, the defenders did not have any fortifications, and they could not even produce decent suppressive firepower - light machine guns. There were only about 30 bolt-action single-shot rifles in total.

The Chinese soldiers approaching them from three directions were overwhelming in terms of both their strength and firepower.

In a few minutes, the battle will be completely over.

Perhaps, before the battle is over, two infantry squads will quickly reinforce Lao Baanpan and them.

I just don't know if it's too late.

Everything depends on how desperate the Japanese troops are over there.
