Chapter 308 Gaizhou, my life! (Fourth)
On the nameless landbag on the west side of Gaizhou City, the cannon lightning raid and bayonet tactic was implemented because of the convenient and powerful "conscienceless" that was easy to move. The huge power and dense firepower made the Japanese army dizzy before they even had time to react. After the enemy artillery reacted, they had been entrusted to run far away.
This is a very powerful combat method, which takes advantage of the Japanese unprepared and intensive charge tactics, and has no idea about guerrilla tactics at all. However, in Gaizhou City, a real and cruel close connection was carried out. Gaizhou City is not big, and there are less than 10,000 people living here. At this time, only a few cities such as Shanghai and Wuchang in China had reinforced concrete buildings due to foreigners or their own investments, so it is like most cities with brick and wood structures.
Dozens of naval 254mm heavy artillery were enough to completely destroy the place, so when Ke Shao rushed into this small town with the 1st Division's direct sword battalion, the world was already rubble and ruined. Although a company stationed here had dug up bunkers early, it still lost nearly half of its personnel.
"Scatter! Scatter!"
"Three people in a group, machine guns and grenade launchers as the center..." Ke Shao's voice was low and directed the soldiers. The soldiers who had always claimed to be "the tip of the knife" of the first division moved quickly. They soon formed more than 100 combat teams with the resident robes according to the 33 tactic requirements. They were hiding in craters, ditches, rubble, and even in the stinking pigpen. As long as you can see the outside, almost all the places outside were occupied, and the combat teams interlaced with each other to form countless triangles that could support each other.
Ke Shao chose a large crater, and the gate of the south of the city can be clearly seen here. The reason for choosing this is because he had heard from the commander-in-chief at the 42nd yard that unless the firepower is particularly dense on the battlefield, there are fewer hits in the same crater. Obviously, the Japanese army is not the kind of European army that can have super dense firepower. Even if the 254 guns on the sea come back due to ballistic problems, the probability of hitting here again is very small.
A natural barrier was built around the crater by the rubble of the collapsed houses. When he brought a machine gun team to clear out the shooting perspective, cold gunshots were already heard from the south of the small town.
It was Ouyang Nan who shot.
Although the Second Brigade suffered serious losses in Motianling, it also made the first collective first-class merit in this war. But when his comrades returned to Fengtian to rest with the envied record of others, he had already come to the front line with several other snipers in the brigade to participate in the defense. This time he was aiming at a second lieutenant. Who asked this guy to show off his sharp command knife? Command, and he had to raise the knife and say a few nonsense like "The Great Japanese Empire" and "Imperial Warriors". You should know that the front-line officers of the National Defense Forces have all cancelled the obvious rank signs.
He deserves to die!
The Japanese lieutenant, who stood out in the flock of chickens, was like a rooster who was chirping happily but was suddenly twisted by his neck. He fell into the middle of the soldiers with half a broken head. The tragic scene of blood mixed with brain matter also made the Japanese soldiers next to him obviously confused. It was not until a sergeant behind him shouted a few words before stabilizing the formation and rushing towards the city gate.
Boom... The 75 shell exploded not far from Ouyang Nan's left, and the splashed gravel hit the helmet and made a clang. The smell of gunpowder even blocked his mouth and nose. However, he was no longer the "egg soldier" in Qiu Wenbin's mouth. Strict training, civil war and the test of gunpowder in Motianling made him gradually become an excellent soldier, so he quickly put his eyes on the scope again.
The sergeant could no longer see it, so he chose the Japanese assaulter who was most sudden 400 meters away. He specially made high-precision bullets hit the assaulter's thigh ruthlessly. After the warhead brought a handful of blood mist, the guy lost his ability to move. Originally, he wanted to choose the next assaulter, but the two Japanese medical soldiers running towards this guy made him feel energetic. It is difficult for medical soldiers to deploy in large quantities through simple training, because they must have sufficient medical and trauma knowledge. There are still thousands of medical soldiers in the National Defense Forces so far, so medical soldiers are obviously worth more than ordinary soldiers to make bullet money.
He didn't think about it when he chose to maximize the results of the battle. After three consecutive shots, the two medical soldiers simply fell into a pool of blood, which meant that a squadron's Japanese soldiers had lost their care.
However, although nearly ten sniper rifles were amazingly powerful, the fire density determined that Ouyang Nan and the others could not withstand the rushing of hundreds of Japanese troops, so after a few rounds, they retreated as planned and handed over the blocking mission to two mg8/15 Han-3 heavy machine guns. The Han-3 heavy machine gun, which should have appeared two years later, replaced the bulky tripod with a bipod. In addition, Liu Qinen organized research and boldly chose to bold the barrel and reduce the water-cooled sleeve, the weight was one kilogram lighter than the prototype, making it more suitable for infantry carrying.
The moment the sound of the dash sounded, two heavy machine guns deployed at angles were like Japanese infantry sprinkling hundreds of bullets. The crazy and terrifying metal bullets formed an insurmountable barrier. Teams of Japanese soldiers rushing hard were penetrated, and blood and bullets rolled in the queue. When four 120 rounds of bullets were shot at the maximum speed, a layer of corpses had been laid in the mud 300 meters away. Before the Japanese army could think of a solution, according to the strict tactical requirement that the machine gun must not stay at one point for three minutes, the two strong machine gunners had already carried the machine gun and retreated to the tail of the town, and handed the attack mission to grenade launchers in other locations.
Sure enough, the Japanese artillery shells fell as soon as they left, but they did not gain anything except blowing up countless gravels. The grenade launchers at other locations hit the Japanese army 300 meters away again. Although they cannot be compared with being unconscience, the grenade launchers are far beyond their accuracy and range, and are incomparable in speed. Moreover, without being unconscience is very dangerous and easy to accidentally hurt their own people, so they are just a temporary measure to increase their firepower.
Dozens of grenade launchers kept throwing grenades into the Japanese army, and the power of the fragmented killing bullets was not small, so even after the heavy machine gun retreated, it still made the Japanese soldiers complain.
300 meters! 300 meters fire barrier!
This is the life-and-death distance between infantry and soldiers recognized by later generations! After the summary of the two world wars, the ideal combat distance between infantry is 300 meters, so in the firearm design, it also gave up the range of thousands of shots, but focused on consolidating the firepower intensity within 300 meters. Yang Qiu is currently unable to withstand the consumption of automatic rifles, and even semi-automatic ones cannot bear it, but cannot bear it does not mean that he has to give up this line of life and death. Therefore, in an era of heavy machine guns and large calibers, he concentrated his efforts to develop light machine guns and simple grenade launchers.
The number of 400 light and heavy machine guns in January is not enough compared with that in foreign countries, but the manufacturing scale of 2,300 grenade launchers in January is the second largest grenade launcher manufacturer in the world after Germany. Moreover, Germany only exceeded the number of grenade launchers three months ago because the situation in Europe is getting worse and worse. However, before that, the number of grenade launchers in the National Defense Forces equipment and reserves exceeded 10,000. Therefore, grenade launchers are currently the only third type of equipment to be fully popularized in the squad in addition to rifles and grenades. When Jiang Baili first saw it, he even proposed the advanced concept of team artillery, believing that each squad should be equipped with six pieces to ensure the formation of a strong firepower advantage of 300 meters, and it was shelved only because the ammunition consumption was too large.
Colonel Hanoi, the commander of the Japanese 74th Regiment, was frantically mad at this line of life and death. As a veteran who participated in the Russo-Japanese War, it was very embarrassing to lose half of the troops in Yingkou. If it weren't for the recommendation of General Masatoshi Tsaiuchi and the addition of more than a thousand reserve soldiers in China, perhaps the 74th Regiment would have been nailed to the pillar of shame like the 38th Regiment. So he attached great importance to this battle and vowed to massacre all these people. But before the ideal began, he was found that his infantry was beaten to pieces at a distance of 300 meters, because the effective range of the 38 rifle was less than 500 meters, which required extra accurate veterans to hit, so he didn't even have the means to fight back!
"Let the naval artillery fire support?" A staff officer was glared back by Shiki Hanoi as soon as he made a suggestion. When will the army have to eat according to the navy's face? The navy had been very polite to clear the obstacles with heavy artillery, blowing up Gaizhou City to the point where only a few lonely buildings were left, and even the city wall collapsed nearly half. If he still asked for support in this situation, if others didn't say it, the division commander would be the first to kill him.
"Assault, the entire army assault!"
"Let all the soldiers run!"
As Hanoi Hikaru roared, the 74th Regiment began to use the traditional tactic of despair. Under the scolding of the officers, the soldiers climbed up from the ground from three directions and launched an assault attack on Gaiju Castle. When the number of targets suddenly exceeded the intensity of firepower, the 300-meter line gradually fell.
"Come on..." Faced with the Japanese army getting closer and closer from all directions, Ke Shao pulled his neck and collar roughly. Seeing so many enemies, this man who had been fighting from Hanyang to the present not only did not fear, but roared excitedly: "Little Japan, grandpa fuck your eighth generation ancestor of the Emperor... open fire!"
With this shout, the city of Gaizhou, which seemed monotonous and dull just now, suddenly became wild. Countless fire points rushed out of the rubble, behind the window, in the ditch, and craters! Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers, mortars, etc. all started to sound! The gunshots over the small town with no shape could be seen. The Japanese infantry rushing into the city were suddenly dizzy by the metal whirlwind. Many soldiers rushing hard before they could understand why there were so many enemies here after the baptism of heavy artillery in the navy, and they were already hit by bullets.
"Baga! These cunning Chinese bastards!"
Looking at the fallen soldiers, Hanoi was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Architecture, where is my artillery? Blast it up there!"
