Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Air Burst Bomb

It was too late to leave a message for our comrades!

It's too late to say a final prayer to God!

　　　I don't even have time to miss my parents who are far away in my hometown!

Fighting broke out.

The Japanese army launched two infantry squads in the first wave of attack. Behind them, less than 50 meters away, there were four more infantry squads ready to move.

There were only two guard platoons that could stop their attack.

The firing range of all machine guns and heavy machine guns is mainly set to hit the Japanese troops attacking trenches 500 meters to 1000 meters away. However, their lethality is limited to the infantry under the hills.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese army attacked the trench defense line again.

The few remaining machine guns and heavy machine gun firepower points resolutely gave up supporting the protective infantry position that was only a few dozen meters away from them, and poured all their firepower on the death line.

In fact, the Japanese army has absorbed the previous experience of intensive charges that caused a large number of casualties. The distance between individual soldiers was extremely far. Even the intensive grenades thrown by the Chinese were unable to cause large-scale damage, but it was against this kind of flanking attack. The bullets fired had no effect.

The red bullet marks formed by artillery shells and bullets are like the steel whip constantly waved by the **** of death. They are injured and killed one after another. Especially the 20mm machine gun shells that can penetrate 25mm steel plates at a distance of 500 meters can often penetrate a human body. After that, the remaining momentum continued, and one or even two more were knocked down to count, posing a great threat to the Japanese infantry.

It was not yet necessary to charge in the face of bullets and artillery shells. The Japanese infantry who had just climbed up from the mud and rushed into the cold river could only retreat again in frustration.

Kanda Masakusa, who was looking at all this with a telescope, looked livid.

It was under his order that the infantry began to attack the hills, which caused the artillery fire that could have suppressed the Chinese machine gun and heavy machine gun firepower points to be suspended. This made several of the Chinese heavy firepower points so unscrupulous.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

“Order the two infantry squadrons of the 47th Regiment. I will only give them 30 minutes. If they cannot capture the position in front of them, the supervising team at the rear will take their place.” Kanda Masane once again issued strict military orders.

At that time, it was preferable that all members of the two infantry squadrons be killed in the battle, and the battle must be resolved within 30 minutes.

The Japanese don't need to raise their heads to show up like the Chinese, so they ask all their subordinates to die on the battlefield. Nogi Nogi did this before, and it will be even more common in the Pacific battlefield in the future.

The Chinese position mainly consists of two trenches: the first-line trench and the second-line trench. There is basically one guard squad in the shorter first-line trench, and two guard squads in the second-line trench.

The distance between the two trenches is about 30 meters. Due to time constraints, there is only one communication trench connecting them. This is mainly to facilitate the evacuation of the first-line trenches in a war emergency or the reinforcement of troops from the second-line trenches to the first-line trenches.

But after the second line of trenches, there are already various firepower points set up under the top of the hill, and there is no way out.

When the Japanese army began to hunch into the 100-meter distance, a guard squad in the front-line trench had already opened fire.

There is no small river on the hill, which can slow down the Japanese infantry charge like the trench defense line. Once the Japanese army advances to 50 or 60 meters, their heavy machine guns start to suppress it like crazy, which will cause trouble.

All Japanese infantry were defeated.

However, they did not stop attacking.

Sirens sounded continuously and shrilly 300 meters away, which was a signal for the Japanese army to continue their attack.

The Japanese infantry suppressed by shell guns and submachine guns at the bottom of the hill were like crazy, almost crawling up the hillside despite the rain of bullets from the Chinese.

And the Chinese defenders were not only spraying bullets at the enemy, they themselves were also being baptized by the bullets.

The entire altitude of the hill is only a dozen meters. The Chinese infantry's trenches are basically halfway up, and the height is only seven or eight meters at most. The **** is actually very gentle, so it will not be too strenuous for the Japanese infantry to crawl forward.

Although the Chinese side occupies a high advantage and is condescending, it is easy to shoot or throw grenades.

However, this kind of terrain is also conducive to the Japanese army's supporting firepower.

Responsible for providing fire support to these Japanese troops was a heavy machine gun brigade that positioned its position as close as 400 meters away.

That is 12 heavy machine guns, and there are 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns on the left and right sides.

Since the Chinese defensive position was high enough, the Japanese heavy machine guns did not even need to fire from both wings. Instead, they fired wildly at the Chinese position from the front of their respective battlefields. The bullets passed right over the heads of the bent and crawling Japanese infantry.

One Type 92 heavy machine gun has a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute, and six Type 92 heavy machine guns can theoretically pour 3,000 rounds of bullets into the Chinese position in one minute.

The first line of trenches is only 50 meters wide, which almost means that within one meter, 60 rounds of bullets are whizzing through the air.

It was almost a baptism like a storm.

But it was not rain, but bullets that could easily take away people's lives.

Crazy bullets hit the edge of the trench, causing mud to splash, and almost no one dared to look up. At most, you can only place the gun on the edge of the trench, stretch out your hand and pull the trigger. As for where the bullet flies, you can no longer care.

The defensive effect can also be imagined.

Hand grenades were thrown, but because the Japanese infantry were spread out and there were not many grenades, they could be wasted easily.

The Japanese infantry lying in the battlefield were all veterans who had experienced the battlefield, and they immediately felt the weakness of the Chinese firepower.

“Kill the chicken and give it to me!” junior Japanese army officers roared to cheer up their soldiers.

The speed of the Japanese army increased again.

“Damn it, Chow Tai Fook, you coward, can you still hold your position? Fight back immediately and fight me back.” Major Scar's roar resounded in the trench, and his voice was completely broken because he tried to raise his voice.

In the establishment of the Chinese army, regiment-level units have uniform numbers throughout the army, which is the same as the Japanese army's regiment level. At the battalion level, they are basically sorted by numbers one, two, and three.

And "one" represents more than just a number. In the establishment of the Chinese army, "one" is almost the strongest pronoun.

A battalion is a sharp knife battalion, a company is a sharp knife company, and a platoon is a sharp knife platoon. Even at the lowest level of the infantry squad, the soldiers will be proud of being a squad.

Because they are soldiers with sharp knives.

Chow Tai Fook is the platoon commander of the 1st company of the 108th Division Guard Battalion to which Major Scar belongs.

The highest commander on this position is excluding Major Scar who is personally in charge.

At this moment, the second lieutenant platoon leader, who was personally named by Major Scar, was in the frontline trench, leading a group of thirteen people in his platoon.

To be precise, there are only twelve people in total including him. Two people had died on the spot in the shelling just now.

"Damn it, brothers, fight like crazy." A soldier in the trench, wearing a helmet and only a shirt that was stained by mud and couldn't see the color, turned over and lay on the trench, lowered the submachine gun in his hand as hard as he could, and roared. A volley of bullets cleared the air.

The heavy machine gun bullets were visibly shot into the soil around him, and one bullet even grazed the side of the helmet at an arc. Fortunately, it was not a direct shot. The rounded arc of the helmet also played a role, and the bullet grazed the helmet. The shocking fire did not cause any real harm to the second lieutenant.

Seeing that the platoon leader was like this, the soldiers followed suit and lay down on the trench with gritted teeth and fired wildly.

It's just that not everyone has the luck of being a second lieutenant.

Just in this round of counterattack, one soldier was shot in the shoulder and chest by heavy machine gun bullets, and fell into the trench screaming.

One soldier didn't even say a word, and just lay down quietly on the trench. When the soldier who fired the bullet and retracted into the trench noticed something unusual, and suddenly dragged him back to the trench, he painfully discovered that he had already died.

A heavy machine gun bullet penetrated his helmet. The thick 7.7mm bullet penetrated the helmet effortlessly and at the same time, it also lifted half of his sky cap.

The sound of blood spurting from the head and hitting the helmet is a "sizzling" sound that can give even the toughest warriors nightmares.

“Bless you!” Another soldier who witnessed all this was obviously stimulated by the tragic death of his comrade.

With a roar, he picked up an unscrewed grenade from the ground of the trench, pulled the fuse, and raised his arm to prepare to throw it.

Unexpectedly, because the arm was raised too high, a heavy machine gun bullet hit the wrist, and the entire wrist was shattered. The soldier did not even have time to scream, and the palm and the grenade with blue smoke fell back into the trench.

The soldier holding the corpse of his comrade still had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward, picked up the grenade still in his comrade's palm, and threw it out.

The grenade, which had been delayed for more than three seconds, exploded in the air more than 20 meters below the hillside.

The Japanese troops screamed in agony.

Humbling may be able to avoid the crazy rain of bullets, but it cannot stop the grenade shrapnel flying down in the air.

The Chinese soldiers in the trenches did not see that the grenades thrown by their comrades at the cost of one palm killed and injured at least four Japanese soldiers.

The second lieutenant platoon leader who happened to be looking over here was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Everyone, please give me three seconds before dropping the bomb!”

"Boom, boom, boom!" Most of the seven or eight grenades thrown high from the trench exploded in the air after flying twenty or thirty meters.

The Japanese infantry who were about to enter the bombing distance were directly blown to tears by this artificially delayed 'air burst bomb'.
