Chapter 445 Air Explosion Bullet
I didn't have time to leave a word to my comrades!
There is no time to make a final prayer to God!
I didn’t even have time to miss my parents far away in my hometown!
The battle broke out.
The first wave of attacks in the Japanese army involved two infantry squads. Less than 50 meters behind them, four infantry squads were ready to move.
There were only two guard platoons that could stop their attack.
The firing boundaries of all machine guns and heavy machine guns are mainly set to attack the Japanese army attacking trenches 500 to 1,000 meters away from afar, and the lethality of infantry under the hills is limited.
And at this time, the main force of the Japanese army attacked the trench defense line again.
The remaining fire points of machine guns and heavy machine guns resolutely gave up supporting protective infantry positions that were only tens of meters away from him, pouring all the firepower on the line of death.
The Japanese army has actually absorbed the previous experience of intensive charges causing a large number of casualties. The distance between individual soldiers is extremely far. Even the dense grenades thrown by the Chinese cannot cause large-scale damage, but they have no effect on such bullets fired from the flanks.
The red bullet marks composed of shells and bullets are like steel whips that are constantly waving by the god of death, and they are injured and perished. Especially the 20mm machine gun shells that can penetrate 25mm steel plates at a distance of 500 meters can often penetrate a human body and then continue to lose their remnants. It will be counted after knocking down one or even two, which poses a great threat to the Japanese infantry.
Before he could charge against bullets and artillery shells, the Japanese infantry who had just gotten up from the mud and rushed into the cold river could only retreat again in a frustration.
Kanda Masato, who was holding a telescope and watching all this, looked ashen.
It was under his command that the infantry began to attack the hills, causing the artillery fire that could have suppressed the fire of the Chinese machine guns and heavy machine guns to be suspended, which made the Chinese several heavy fire points so unscrupulous.
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
"I will only give them 30 minutes to order the two infantry squadrons of the 47th Regiment. If I cannot capture the position in front of me, the supervisory team in the rear will replace them." Kanda Masato issued a strict military order again.
At that time, it would rather be that all members of the two infantry squadrons died in battle than that they had to resolve the death order of the battle within 30 minutes.
Unlike the Chinese, the Japanese did not need to come to see each other, so they asked them to die on the battlefield. Nogi Hinomi used to do this, and it was even more uncommon on the Pacific battlefield in the future.
The Chinese position is mainly composed of two trenches, first-line trenches and second-line trenches. In the shorter first-line trenches, one guard squad is basically placed, and the second-line trenches are two guard squads.
The distance between the two trenches is about 30 meters. Due to the urgent time, only one traffic trench is connected to it. This is mainly to facilitate the evacuation of front-line trenches or the second-line trenches to reinforce the front-line trenches.
But after the second-line trenches, there were already various firepower points set up under the top of the hill, and there was no way out.
When the Japanese army began to hunch and enter a distance of 100 meters, a guard squad in the front-line trenches had already fired.
There is no small river on the hills. It can slow the charge of Japanese infantry like the other side of the trench defense line. Once the Japanese army moves to fifty or sixty meters, their heavy machine guns will begin to suppress them wildly, which will be troublesome.
All the Japanese infantry were knocked down.
However, they did not stop attacking.
The alarm sounded continuously 300 meters away, which was a signal that the Japanese army continued to attack.
The Japanese infantry under the hills, suppressed by the shell guns and submachine guns, were like crazy, and crawled up the hillside almost against the Chinese bullet rain.
The Chinese defenders not only sprayed bullets at the enemy, but also suffered the baptism of bullets.
The entire hill is only more than ten meters above sea level, and the Chinese infantry's trenches are basically half mid-waisted, and the height is at most seven or eight meters. The slope is actually extremely smooth, and it will not be too difficult for Japanese infantry to crawl forward.
Although China has a high advantage and is condescending, it is easy to shoot or throw grenades.
However, this terrain is just as beneficial to the support firepower of the Japanese army.
The person responsible for providing firepower support to this group of Japanese troops was a heavy machine gun brigade that reached 400 meters away.
Those are 12 heavy machine guns, with 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns installed on the left and right sides respectively.
Because the Chinese defensive position is high enough, the Japanese heavy machine guns do not even need to shoot from both wings, but are firing wildly at the Chinese positions on the front of their respective battlefields, and bullets are just passing over the heads of the Japanese infantry who are bent over and crawling forward.
A 92 heavy machine gun has a firing rate of 500 rounds per minute. In theory, 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns can pour 3,000 rounds of bullets into the Chinese position within one minute.
The trench in the line is only 50 meters wide, which means that within a range of one meter, 60 bullets whizzing through the air.
It was almost a storm-like baptism.
But that is not rain, but bullets that can easily take away people's lives.
Crazy bullets hit the edge of the trenches and the soil splashed, and almost no one dared to look up.
At most, I could only place the gun on the edge of the trench and stretch out my hand to pull the trigger desperately. As for where the bullets fly, I could no longer care about it.
The defense effect can also be imagined.
Grenades were also thrown away, but because the distance between Japanese infantry and there were not many grenades, they could be wasted easily.
The Japanese infantry lying on the battlefield were also veterans who had experienced the battlefield and immediately felt the weakness of Chinese firepower.
"Kill the chicken!" The Japanese grassroots officer roared and cheered his soldiers.
The speed of the Japanese army increased again.
"Damn it, Chow Tai Fook, can you still defend your position? Retaliate immediately and fight back for me." Major Scar's roar sounded in the trenches. Because of his efforts to increase his voice, his voice had been completely broken.
In the organization of the Chinese army, regiment-level troops have unified numbers for the entire army, which is the same as the Japanese army's corps level. When it comes to the battalion level, it is basically sorted by one, two, and three numbers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And ‘一’ represents not just a number. In the organization of the Chinese army, ‘一’ is almost the strongest synonym.
The first battalion is the sharp knife battalion, the first company is the sharp knife company, the other row is the sharp knife platoon, and even when they reach the grassroots level infantry squad, the soldiers will be proud of being the first squad.
Because they are soldiers of the Sharp Knife Squad.
Chow Tai Fook is the leader of the 108th Division Guard Battalion to Major Scar.
The supreme commander outside Major Scar who was personally in charge was removed from this position.
At this moment, the lieutenant platoon leader, who was named by Major Scar himself, was in the front line trenches, leading a squad of thirteen people in his platoon.
To be precise, there were only twelve people in total. Two of them had already died on the spot in the bombardment just now.
"Damn, brothers, I'm fighting with the dog god." A soldier in the trench wearing a helmet and wearing a shirt that was stained with dirt and couldn't see clearly. He turned over and leaned onto the trench, pressing down the submachine gun in his hand with all his might, and roared and swept away a shuttle of bullets.
The heavy machine gun bullet was visible to him and shot into the soil. There was even a bullet passing by the arc angle of the side of the helmet. Fortunately, it was not direct, and the round arc angle of the helmet also played a certain role. The bullets emitted a terrifying flame on the helmet, which did not cause substantial damage to the second lieutenant.
Seeing that the platoon leader was like this, the soldiers followed suit, gritting their teeth and lying down on the trenches and shooting downwards.
But not everyone has the luck of a second lieutenant.
However, in this round of counterattack, a soldier was swept into the shoulder and chest by heavy machine guns, screaming and pouring into the trench.
A soldier even lie silently on the trench without saying a word. When the soldiers who were firing empty bullets and retracting back to the trench discovered something abnormal. When he suddenly pulled him back to the trench, he found in pain that he was dead.
A heavy machine gun bullet penetrated his steel helmet. The thick 7.7mm warhead effortlessly penetrated the steel helmet, and it also lifted half of his sky cover.
The sound of blood spraying out from the head and hitting the helmet is a sizzling sound that makes the strongest warriors have nightmares.
"I'm so happy!" Another soldier who witnessed all this was obviously stimulated by the tragic death of his comrade.
With a roar, he picked up a grenade with the uncovered cover from the ground of the trench, pulled the lead, raised his arm and prepared to throw it out.
Unexpectedly, because his arm was raised a little too high, a heavy machine gun bullet hit his wrist, and his entire wrist was shattered. The soldiers didn't even have time to shout, and their palms and the grenades with blue smoke fell into the trenches again.
The soldier who was still holding the body of the comrade's corpse was quick-eyed and quickly stepped forward to pick up the grenade with the palm of the comrade's hand and threw it out.
The grenade, which had been delayed for about three seconds, exploded in the air more than 20 meters below the hillside.
The Japanese army shouted in terror.
Crawling may avoid the crazy rain of bullets, but it cannot stop the grenade shrapnel flying down the air.
The Chinese soldiers in the trench did not see that the grenade thrown by the comrade at the cost of one palm killed and injured at least four Japanese soldiers.
The second lieutenant who was looking at this side was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Everyone, please extend the bomb for three seconds!"
"Boom boom boom!" Most of the seven or eight grenades thrown high from the trench exploded in the air after flying for twenty or thirty meters.
The Japanese infantry, who could immediately enter the bomb drop distance, were directly blown away by this artificially delayed "air bomb" thrown.
