Chapter 849 Beyond Shooting! (Please ask for monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
Ishiguro Sadazou is more cunning than Tang Dao imagined!
At the same time, he ordered the mountain artillery to bombard the south bank of Bihe River in the distance to suppress the Chinese artillery fire. Together with the two infantry cannons of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, a total of 6 infantry cannons were also idle and continued to bombard the third battalion position.
That was of course not a meaningless consumption, but to prevent the heavy machine guns of the Third Battalion from attacking the Japanese troops who were sweating and digging field trenches 700 meters away.
The effective range of the heavy machine gun is as high as 1,000 meters. The Chinese cannot shoot at once. Everyone has to lie on the ground. When will the trenches be dug?
However, the bombardment of the four infantry artillery pieces on the battlefield seemed to be insignificant and could not cause much damage, but no one dared to take it lightly. The infantry artillery was also a cannon, and it was a **** storm when it fell into the trenches. All heavy machine guns were fired from the fortifications. Withdrew and dragged them to the trenches to hide.
Ishiguro Sadazou's move is like two groups of children fighting. What is thrown is not a stone that can cause bloodshed, but a piece of shit. It can't blow you up, but I can disgust you to death.
Veteran Youzi was already very angry because his infantry company lost 9 people in the Japanese artillery bombardment. Now it seems that the Japanese infantry did not dare to attack, but they started to engage in such annoying artillery bombardment. The commander also ordered all mortar squads not to be easily exposed and unable to fight back. This anger with nowhere to vent was like a fire, burning more and more.
They say that out of desperation comes wisdom. Veteran Youzi suddenly remembered Tang Dao and talked about a transcendental shooting method created by the Germans during World War I.
It was after the outbreak of World War I that new weapons such as machine guns were used on a large scale. Because the combat power of machine guns is very powerful, machine gunners have become the primary target of the enemy on the battlefield. In order to prevent the machine gunner from suffering a large-scale attack by the enemy, and to increase the range of the machine gun and increase its lethality, the German army first created a long-range curved dispersion shooting method, which was called the transcendental shooting method after the war.
In this shooting method, the target group must first be observed, and based on the results, the heavy machine gun is set to a certain angle and tilted to shoot into the sky.
Due to the extremely high firing speed of the Maxim machine gun, the bullets fired after crossing a curve will be scattered in the target area like rain, and the angle of their fall can even be close to vertical.
In this case, it is useless for soldiers on the battlefield to lie down to evade. On the contrary, lying down will make them more likely to be killed by bullets falling from the sky. This method of warfare makes no place on the battlefield absolutely safe, and you may be killed even if you are hiding in an open bunker.
Based on the range of the Maxim machine gun, this method can be used to hit any enemy targets within 4 kilometers, such as supply lines and army assembly areas.
Originally, for the Chinese army, which was short of guns and ammunition, this so-called transcendental shooting method meant that if an infantry battalion had a few heavy machine guns and enough bullets to suppress the enemy in a straight line, then it would be good. There are so many bullets for that kind of lucky curve shooting.
But for the current Third Battalion, there are nearly 30 heavy machine guns and enough bullets. Each heavy machine gun is equipped with an average of 1,000 rounds of ammunition. There is also a baggage team to supplement it, and there is no shortage of machine guns and bullets.
Just do it. Li Jiujin bent over and followed the trench to find Leng Feng. Leng Feng took a telescope and looked at the Japanese infantry who were still desperately digging trenches in his field of view. After thinking for a moment, he agreed.
Anyway, the heavy machine guns were placed on the edge of the trenches, with the muzzles facing diagonally upwards. Both the machine gunners and the heavy machine guns were protected by the trenches. Even if that didn't work, they would only lose some bullets at most, and the third battalion could still afford to lose them.
So, amid the rumbling artillery fire, the heavy machine gunners of the third battalion used engineer shovels to dig out a platform for the heavy machine gun in the trench. They hid in the trench, pointed the muzzles of their guns in the sky, and fired.
The blazing gunfire scared the Japanese soldiers who were digging trenches to their knees, but they were surprised to find that no bullets were coming.
However, while these Japanese infantrymen were still laughing at the poor marksmanship of the Chinese, the **** squadron of the 2nd Infantry Regiment a kilometer away from them was howling like ghosts.
It turns out that the Chinese heavy machine gunners have no experience at all. They only know how to point their guns at a certain angle into the sky and then fire wildly. No one knows where the bullets will eventually land.
Of course, the results of a few blind shots were not very good. The bullets landed more than a few hundred meters away from the front-line Japanese infantry they wanted to hit.
But, a blind cat can really catch a dead mouse!
The 2nd Infantry Regiment Escort is regarded as the last unit under Ishiguro Sadzo. Its main role is not to fight, but to ensure the safety of the regiment headquarters and the directly affiliated mountain artillery squadron, infantry artillery squadron, and rapid-fire artillery squadron.
Therefore, even if two infantry brigades were tightly surrounded and one infantry brigades suffered a **** blow in front of the Chinese blocking position, Ishiguro Sadazou did not use this well-equipped infantry squadron with 230 people. His last capital must not be used lightly.
This **** squadron has a total of 4 squadrons. Two squadrons firmly guard the wing headquarters, and the two squadrons follow the two artillery squadrons according to the military orders of Ishiguro Sadzo.
Unfortunately, it was an infantry squad following the mountain artillery squadron.
Because the mountain artillery squadron moved forward and retreated, the infantry team dug temporary individual bunkers.
To put it bluntly, it's just a pit that can put people in. Lying down in it can block bullets coming from the ground.
But what about the one that falls from the sky?
Of course there is no resistance.
28 heavy machine guns fired at least two thousand rounds into the sky, and at least a thousand rounds fell on this position.
More than 10 Japanese infantrymen shed their blood in this extraordinary rain of bullets.
However, Li Jijin didn't know this. He only knew that the heavy machine gun fired once, and the Japanese army on the opposite side hid for a while and then started digging holes again.
“What a shame! If the Germans can do it, why can't I? Adjust the muzzle of the gun and let me hit you again!” Li Jijin cursed and didn't believe in evil.
A big guy who has never studied mathematics and doesn't even know what a parabola is, but he knows one thing very well. If you shoot vertically at the top of your head, the bullet will fall on your head. If you adjust the muzzle higher, the landing position will be farther away from the third battalion position. The closer it is, and conversely, the further it is.
It's just that this kind of experiment can never be accomplished overnight. It requires enough bullets and time. Fortunately, the third battalion does not lack these.
The rain of bullets was scattered more than 1,000 meters away for a while, and as close as 500 meters for a while.
The Japanese can't stand it!
The Chinese are just acting like hooligans. Who would use precious heavy machine gun bullets to hit people from a distance of thousands of meters?
Not to mention the regimental escorts, even the unlucky kid Ishiguro Sadazou was almost 'destroyed' by a hail of bullets that followed no pattern.
If someone hadn't bravely knocked him down and pressed **** his 'delicate' body.
“Move the wing headquarters 500 meters to the right! Order the **** squadron to build a position immediately!” Ishiguro Sadazou's ugly face was distorted with anger.
To be honest, the Chinese people's move is actually not that lethal. Unless you are particularly unlucky, you will be 'killed' by a bullet, but you can't help but be frightened! What if that unlucky child is me?
This is so disgusting.
The "shit" that Ishiguro Sadazou threw viciously at the Third Battalion was thrown back by Leng Feng and Li Jiujin in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the Japanese were forced to eat several big bites.
At least 20 people were injured or killed in this rain of bullets!
The Third Battalion paid a price of nearly 12,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets. This huge loss was heard by Chief of Staff Zhuang Da after the war. After squatting for a week, as soon as it was time to eat, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da arrived.
In the end, Tang Dao pulled out Captain Li Dal, who was heartbroken. This transcendent shooting method will also become one of the training subjects for the heavy machine gunners of the Four Lines Regiment.
However, when using this tactic, there must be more than 20 heavy machine guns that can form a cluster shooting state.
Si Xing Tuan can be rich in ammunition, but cannot waste money. This is the basic principle of Chief of Staff Zhuang Da.
However, don't underestimate Li Jijin's angry move. Not only did he kill 20 Japanese soldiers, but with the movement of the Japanese coalition headquarters, they were even closer to a group of special forces ambushing in the wasteland. There is only less than 600 meters to go. Moreover, the main body of its **** squadron is 500 meters away from the two artillery squadrons in a straight line.
After the war, because of this, Captain Li Daluke received an additional 50 ocean rewards from Tang Dao.
That was the last straw that broke Ishiguro Sadzo's back!
“Woof!” Hammer suddenly barked into the distance.
Tang Dao picked up the telescope and looked at the sky in the distance. A black spot appeared faintly in the blue sky. As time went by, the roar of the aircraft engine sounded.
“The imperial fighter planes are coming, we are saved!” The Japanese soldiers in the encirclement had a long-lost smile on their faces that were darkened by gunpowder smoke.
“Mama, I can come back to see you again!” Some Japanese soldiers even cried with joy.
Although there was only one fighter plane, it was definitely a booster for the Japanese troops on the ground.
No one thought it was a Chinese fighter plane. Even if the fighter plane had not jumped out of the clouds, no one could see the sun flag on the tail of the plane.
Yes, that is a Japanese fighter plane.
However, the style of painting in the cabin is slightly different from what the Japanese infantry imagined: "The Imperial Sky Knight is looking at the ground fiercely, holding the launch button of the onboard machine gun, intending to kill all the enemy troops on the ground!"
"Baga! Those idiots in the 14th Division actually fell into the Chinese trap. Damn it, **** it!"
In the sky, Sasaki was complaining crazily among the Type 96 fighter plane that was about to jump off the sky.
Yes, the fateful Sasaki is here again.
After receiving an urgent request for help from the commander of the 14th Division, Doihara Ken 2nd Division, an Army Aviation Squadron at the Jin Provincial Airport was urgently ordered to take off to provide air support.
It's just that because of the heavy damage suffered last time over Zhengzhou, the Army Aviation Squadron that stayed at the airport did not have many bombers, and they were basically fighter jets.
Of course, the 96 fighter also has bomb hooks, and it can also hang 200-pound aerial bombs for bombing in an emergency.
Sasaki, the only remaining seedling, originally did not need to participate in this support operation, but three fighters of the Army Aviation Squadron happened to be temporarily deployed to support the 10th Division of Xuzhou, and the 14th Division requested that an Army Aviation Squadron be dispatched, otherwise it would not be possible. To solve the current danger of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, more importantly, the current enemy is the Fourth Army Regiment, which suffered heavy losses due to the failure of the last bombing. The order from the front army headquarters was also strictly worded, requiring at least ten fighter planes to be dispatched.
Hence, Sasaki, the unlucky boy, was ordered by La Zhuangding to board the plane to fight.
But Lieutenant Sasaki was not the only one who was frightened and angry!
The Army Aviation Fighter Squadron heard that Lieutenant Sasaki was going to fight with them, and the pilots from the squadron leader, Major Zuo, down collectively turned green.
Sasaki's fame has already gone out of the industry. Not only is he famous in the Army Aviation, but even all the divisions know that there is such a number one figure in the Imperial Army Aviation.
Survive various brutal battles? That's nothing. This kind of person is caught in every division. The reason why he becomes famous is because he defeats others!
Killing a major-level elite pilot once may be just a coincidence, but what about the second time? The third time, the entire bomber squadron, including its aircraft and personnel, was wiped out. How toxic do you think this is?
But military orders are hard to disobey, because Sasaki, who has been promoted to lieutenant, refuses to fight with him because of his "Katsuyu" attribute. This is a reason that no one can explain, but no one wants to be killed by this guy.
As a result, the Japanese fighter squadron that rushed all the way developed a brand new tactic.
Taking Lieutenant Sasaki's fighter plane as an arrow, nine 96 fighters followed closely behind, but the distance between the two sides was more than 30 kilometers.
To put it bluntly, Lieutenant Sasaki, as a reconnaissance aircraft, arrived at the battlefield first to conduct reconnaissance on the battlefield and provide information for the follow-up fleet. However, this aircraft did not have a wingman and was a single aircraft.
Once China deploys ground-based anti-aircraft artillery, this unlucky child will be the first target, without anyone to share the burden.
As for whether everyone in the fighter squadron has the intention of hoping that Sasaki will finish the job quickly, I am afraid only the parties involved know this best.
Otherwise, Lieutenant Sasaki wouldn't have been so angry. He didn't even turn off the radio station along the way, and pointed at the name of the 14th Division for nearly half an hour.
Sasaki is also willing to go all out. You guys are just a bunch of idiots who want me to die. Why am I scolding you? If I were hit by a Chinese artillery shell, I would scold those old **** including Doihara Kenji and Terauchi Juichi.
Of course, the last step has not yet been reached. Lieutenant Sasaki is still a little restrained at this time, and his eyes have been patrolling the land of China under the wing. The closer he is to the coordinates given in the intelligence, the more alert he becomes.
Once he was attacked by Chinese ground fire, he immediately turned around and fled.
As for what the battlefield is like, isn't that what he says it will look like? If those idiots were beaten up a few times by the Chinese ground firepower, then it would have once again verified their unique special attributes. The right way is not to give out these **** missions in the future.
After experiencing the last beating, no one in the Japanese army and aviation underestimated the ground firepower of the Chinese army. Even in bombing, no fighter plane dared to go below a thousand meters, especially the four-line regiment that caused them great losses. Preparing for ground fire has been reiterated time and time again.
The "heroic" air knights of the Japanese army guarded the Si Xing Regiment, and Tang Dao did not ignore them either.
Cheng Tietsou's 2nd Artillery Battery did not participate in the battle from beginning to end. That was because they were charged with an important task - air defense!
However, this time they did not have 88 anti-aircraft guns and a large number of machine guns to assist them like last time, and ground combat required a lot of machine gun firepower. Tang Dao mobilized almost all the heavy machine guns, and Cheng Tieshou only had two machine guns and one MG34. machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns with anti-aircraft machine gun mounts.
With this kind of firepower, if two or three Japanese planes come up, they can still fight. But if there are more than six Japanese planes, they can only resist it. At best, it will pose a threat to the enemy planes and prevent them from lowering their altitude easily. .
In a bush on the bank of the Bi River, Cheng Tieshou, whose helmet was covered with dead branches, kept looking at the distant sky with a telescope. Next to him was the Suluotong twin-mounted machine gun, with the springboard already inserted.
It was already 8:30 in the morning, the sun had already jumped into space, and the weather was good today, with extremely high visibility, but Cheng Tietshou's dark face was full of solemnity.
The three infantry battalions have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese for more than an hour and twenty minutes. According to time estimates, the Japanese aircraft group that Tang Tuanzuo was worried about should be arriving soon. However, the three groups of air defense positions of his 2nd artillery company were all far away from the core battlefield. If the Japanese aircraft were He was actually helpless when it came to dropping bombs on the infantry on the ground.
As for why the regimental commander made such arrangements, Cheng Tieshou also knew that he was also a clever woman who could not make a meal without rice. The anti-aircraft firepower of the 2nd Artillery Battery was limited, and it was impossible to protect such a huge battlefield. Rather than being separated and causing the firepower to be dispersed, it was better to hold the ten fingers together Together they form a powerful fist.
The No. 1 position, which consists of two machine guns, one MG34, and two Maxim anti-aircraft machine guns, and the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, which each consist of five anti-aircraft machine guns, are no more than 1,000 meters apart. The 10 gun companies of the 1st company are firmly connected. Protected by artillery emplacements.
The Japanese plane has finally arrived.
What's strange is that only one came. The Japanese army actually learned the lesson and sent reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the battlefield.
“Call the commander and ask if we want to kill him first!” Cheng Tieshou, who turned around and sat on the Sulotong machine gun seat, ordered while adjusting the muzzle of the gun.
"Let the 2nd artillery battery not move rashly, and the 1st artillery battery is all hidden! At the same time, the camouflaged artillery positions can be lit and smoked." Tang Dao calmly ordered as he looked at the Japanese fighter planes in the sky that had begun to drop in altitude but were still above 1,000 meters.
On the south bank of the Bi River, all the artillery pieces were camouflaged with withered grass and pushed into the trenches. But 1,000 meters away from them, an engineer platoon from the New Eighth Division Engineer Company lit up the piles of withered grass. In the blurry vision of thick smoke rising into the sky, a A thick cannon barrel is vaguely visible.
Sasaki, who was flying through the air at high speed, saw all this keenly!
PS: I am asking for monthly votes at the end of the month. Brothers who have monthly votes have voted! Some brothers don't know where to support Fengyue. Once again, Fengyue's first website is "Qidian Chinese Website". Please come here to support Fengyue.
In addition, I have to ask for leave for everyone tomorrow. Fengyue received a temporary task to take students to participate in a software competition tomorrow. I will be on the road all day tomorrow. I guess I won't be able to update tomorrow. Sorry!
