Under the strong scolding of the officers, the soldiers of the Kawada Brigade finally seemed to have some energy. After a quick breakfast, the Kawada Brigade, who was preparing to attack, moved a few hundred meters away from Mike and the others and began to arrange their troops.
The calm Mike had already seen the movements of the Japanese army through the telescope. Yesterday, he learned from Tangcheng that the two 75mm mountain guns of the Japanese army had been destroyed. The Japanese army, without heavy firepower, wanted to defeat themselves in the open terrain of Hongtu Slope.
The defense line is simply a fantasy.
According to the regular establishment of the Japanese infantry, an infantry brigade generally has between 1,300 and 1,500 people. The Japanese infantry brigade generally includes three to four infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron. Some infantry brigade will also have a 50-man
The artillery squad will be equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons, and some infantry groups will have an artillery squadron with more than 120 people, and will be equipped with two 75mm mountain guns or field guns.
Mike already knew that they in Tangcheng had destroyed two 75mm mountain guns of the Japanese brigade, and from this he could roughly judge the strength of the Japanese brigade. Although the opponent's strength was several times his own, Mike did not stop there.
Afraid of the other side, the Kawada Battalion looked very eager to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Under the cover of several small-caliber mortars, two teams of Japanese soldiers from Moyo covered each other and charged forward quickly.
As the Japanese mortars opened fire, fireworks continued to rise from Mike's position. Two small groups of Japanese soldiers opened up a skirmishing formation and moved forward. "Put them closer before firing without my order."
, no one is allowed to open fire in advance." Mike, carrying a Garand rifle, walked through the trenches, shouting from time to time to cheer up the soldiers in the trenches, and saw that the approaching Japanese army was less than 2 meters away from the position.
At a distance of 100 meters, Mike ordered the snipers to fire at will to suppress the Japanese troops.
For a sniper, a distance of 200 meters is like letting a marksman complete an extremely common close-range shooting training. The sound of gunfire continued, and the Japanese army's already sparse skirmisher line became even sparser. "
The Nani Chinese have sharpshooters, fire artillery, fire artillery to suppress their sharpshooters." Seeing that the forwards attacking the enemy formation were suppressed by gunfire and unable to move, the Japanese officers who only knew how to fight went crazy and immediately ordered mortars to continue bombarding the enemy formation.
A sniper trying to neutralize Mike with a mortar.
The Japanese mortars were very accurate, and some snipers had already suffered casualties. The remaining snipers had to fire two shots and then change places. This also significantly reduced the pressure on the two forward teams of the Japanese army. "Onboard
"One after another, Japanese soldiers shouted and charged forward, and the bullets fired from their guns finally landed on Mike's position. The Japanese forward entered a hundred meters in front of the position. Mike ordered all the riflemen to fire at will.
Mike had no intention of using his machine gun fire until the Japanese army took further action.
American semi-automatic firearms once again demonstrated their powerful lethality to the Japanese army. Facing the uninterrupted and powerful firepower of the soldiers directly under the company, the bolt-action rifles in the hands of the Japanese soldiers were obviously at a disadvantage. Dense barrages flew out of the trenches and flew between the two sides.
In the open space, they finally penetrated into the bodies of Japanese soldiers. In just a few minutes of exchange of fire, the two forward teams sent by the Japanese army suffered more than half of their casualties. The remaining Japanese soldiers could only use the corpses of their companions as their own cover to survive.
Shooting with the soldiers of the direct company in the trench.
"Boom" and "Boom", two rockets with trailing flames rushed out of the trenches. They rushed straight out and blasted the bunkers built by the Japanese forward team with corpses into four pieces. They also blasted the Japanese soldiers who were hiding behind the pile of corpses.
They were also bombarded with screams and screams. "Ready the machine gun, fire at will when you enter 300 meters." The Japanese army seemed to be a little anxious. While the forward team suffered heavy casualties, two full infantry squadrons pressed up at the same time. Crows were in front of the position.
Yangyang looked at the khaki-colored figures.
In front of the open and unobstructed position, the khaki figure of the Japanese army was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the Japanese army had entered within 300 meters in front of the position, the two M2 heavy machine guns that had been hidden on both sides of the position finally opened fire. In the deafening explosion
Amidst the sound, two chains of fire split open the khaki crowd and began to sweep across all living creatures in front of the position. The finger-thick bullets of the M2 heavy machine gun continued to spurt out of the chamber.
Yan Ke's terrifying kinetic energy ruthlessly tore everything in the way into pieces.
The sudden and powerful firing of the M2 heavy machine gun was so sudden that the attacking Japanese troops were not mentally prepared at all. Dozens of Japanese troops who were lagging behind were shouting and threatening with guns in their hands.
The soldier was shocked to see the sudden burst of fire in front of him. Then he saw half of the body of his comrade in front of him was blown away, and the steaming internal organs were sprayed all over his head and face. The shattered Japanese corpses, the splattered blood, the Japanese soldiers
The miserable cries of the soldiers before they died made this originally silent red clay plain even more terrifying.
The power of the 12.7mm bullet from the M2 heavy machine gun is so insane that most people would have no chance of survival if they were hit by just one bullet. Those who were hit in the chest would have a hole as big as a head torn open in the back by the bullet. Broken flesh and blood and internal organs could be sprayed out several meters away.
Moreover, the remaining kinetic energy of the bullet can still easily penetrate and kill others following the corpse.
If someone is shot in the head, the head hit by the bullet will immediately explode like a rotten watermelon, with red and white splatters everywhere like tofu. The arms and legs were hit and broken off on the spot, so unlucky.
They will be almost killed by the instantaneous increase in blood pressure in the large blood vessels. Those who can still remain conscious after being shot will see that half of their bodies are inexplicably missing. They will only feel pain after a while, but will be even more frightened.
It will let out a shrill scream.
The more than 100 Japanese troops who appeared within 300 meters in front of the position were all dwarfed in the blink of an eye. The upper bodies of many of them had been smashed into pieces by the bullets and were scattered on the ground. The range of the M2 heavy machine gun was sufficient.
It was more than 1,500 meters away. After sweeping away the Japanese soldiers who entered the 300-meter range, the two M2 heavy machine guns almost coincidentally began to extend their firepower.
The other Japanese soldiers a hundred meters away were already dumbfounded. They had never seen such an outrageous and terrifying weapon. Even when the finger-thick bullets whizzed towards them, most of the Japanese soldiers were still stunned.
I don’t know what happened. Then I saw a cloud of blood mist suddenly rising up in front of me, followed by the person next to me being smashed into pieces with a “bang”. Flesh, flesh, bones and other things were thrown onto my body with a splash, which was very painful.
But this was only a momentary shock. The shocked Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by the sharp bullets of the M2 heavy machine gun, like mowing grass. A Japanese captain directing the charge was spreading his legs and waving his hand.
He made a serious gesture with his command knife, and had just shouted out a sentence. Suddenly, he was hit by several heavy machine gun bullets in the torso, and there were muffled pop-pop noises. The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were all horrified to see their commander's body.
His body was actually torn apart by heavy machine gun bullets, leaving only one spine supporting his stubby head and neck.
With a face full of disbelief, the dying Japanese captain fell to the ground with a thud, and eventually turned into a puddle of rotten flesh. In just a few dozen seconds, the heavy machine gun fired wildly, killing everyone standing within 500 meters in front of the position.
The Japanese army was almost wiped out. Two heavy machine guns formed a tight cross-fire, and the powerful barrage flew across the open space in front of the position, suppressing all the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the barrage and unable to move.
At this moment, the artillerymen Mike brought from Ramgar had already set up two American 60mm mortars. The gunners each aimed at a location where too many Japanese soldiers gathered, and fired two guns "Boom, Boom"
When I went out, I saw the pile of corpses in the distance being thrown up with the smoke and fire of the explosion. Naturally, the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the pile of corpses couldn't escape.
Mike stood steadily in the trench, his blood boiling with excitement from the sound of guns and artillery on the position. He aimed his Garand rifle at a Japanese soldier who was peeping his head in the distance, and decisively pulled the trigger. "Pop!" The opponent's body responded with a dramatic sound.
Zhen fell backward, and lying beside him was a man with excellent eyes, who immediately praised, "What a good shot!"
Mike, who was already happy in his heart, shook his head, "Generally, if it doesn't hit the heart directly, it's still close to the fire." The people in the direct company had already become familiar with Mike, so they naturally knew that this big-nosed man was not being conceited in his behavior.
, but in disguise, he was telling others to praise his good marksmanship. The heavy machine gun shooter seemed to have gone crazy with his shooting. The extended shooting of the two M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns swept across all moving targets in front of the position like a devastation.
The terrible bullets easily penetrated the piles of corpses with people hiding behind them. The bunkers built by the Japanese army with the corpses of their companions were like paper. Heavy machine gun bullets as thick as fingers could penetrate and break them with just one hit.
The Japanese soldiers hiding behind the pile of corpses were shattered into pieces before they could even react.
The newly recruited recruits in the Kawada Brigade have never seen such a terrifying battle scene. This is the first time for most of them to go to the battlefield. The training they have received is completely different from what they see in front of them. This is different from the instructors.
The battle in the story seemed to be from another world. More Japanese soldiers were so shocked by the dramatic changes that they almost dislocated their jaws. They stared blankly at the bloody battlefield ahead with ghostly expressions on their faces. There were also some Japanese soldiers.
I couldn't help but spit it out. Even those who could be called veterans couldn't bear such a bloody scene, let alone new recruits like them.
