"Puff puff!" A dull sound of continuous shooting sounded quietly on the battlefield that was already in full swing.
Except for Long Yan and the two signal soldiers huddled behind him, no one else could hear the gunshot.
The eyes of the Japanese army lieutenant colonel and army captain who were just talking about how to get promoted through meritorious service froze, as if their eyeballs were dug out and left to freeze in the ice and snow of northern China all night.
Through the telescope, the second wave of attacks they had high hopes for seemed to have gone crazy, and they fell to the ground amidst a cloud of dust.
The sudden screams even covered up the sounds of gunshots and explosions at that moment.
The imperial officers and soldiers who were still striding forward all fell back to the ground after five or six seconds.
The so-called wave attack has become a joke.
Casualties were no longer the top concern of the two Japanese officers. After experiencing a brief period of confusion, they unanimously moved their telescopes to their left, which was the right wing of the Chinese position.
There is actually a heavy machine gun hidden there.
........
Long Yan is also not a professional machine gun shooter, but unlike Luo Wanjian, he is the focus of training in the Four Lines Regiment. Except for mountain guns, large-caliber heavy guns, and the captured Type 89 tank, all other equipment in the Four Lines Regiment,
But Long Yan took advantage of them all.
Long Yan's shooting skills with rifles and submachine guns were good, but he wasn't as talented as Niu Er, and he was even far from his cheap brother-in-law. However, Long Yan also had an advantage that neither of them could match, and he was naturally powerful.
With this trait alone, Long Yan has the potential to become a top firepower assaulter!
For example, the MG34 machine gun in his hand is equipped with a bipod. The trigger is designed into two parts: the upper part and the lower part. The lower part is for semi-automatic shooting and the upper part is for fully automatic shooting.
The semi-automatic shooting mode is a short burst. Pulling the trigger once will fire several rounds of bullets. The vibration of the entire gun body is naturally smaller. However, if it enters the fully automatic shooting mode, as long as you don't let go, a 250-round bullet chain will be empty.
.
It is obvious that the reaction force of bullets being continuously fired is so great. In order to control the muzzle of the gun and maintain the stability of the ballistic trajectory, the machine gun shooter must have sufficient strength and skill.
Otherwise, those fire assaulters are all very big and round.
Unfortunately for the Japanese, they encountered such a perverted machine gun and a perverted machine gunner.
The rate of fire of the MG34 machine gun is roughly 1,000 rounds per minute. This is far inferior to the rate of fire of its descendant, the MG42, which is as high as 1,500 rounds per minute. However, as the world's first general-purpose machine gun, its current rate of fire is already an instant kill.
Any current light and heavy machine gun.
Long Yan directly engaged in full-automatic fire, and it took about 13 seconds to empty out a 250-round bullet chain. This rate of fire was already the maximum rate of fire of the MG34 machine gun.
The location of his firepower point was only 360 meters away from the line of 54 Japanese skirmishers who were rushing forward on the battlefield. The trajectory of the ballistics was extremely straight.
The terrifying stream of metal bullets was completely shot from the side of the second wave of attacking Japanese troops on the frontal battlefield, causing a bloody storm among the Japanese infantry who were caught off guard.
Several flowers of blood were visible to the naked eye on the cotton uniforms of the running Japanese infantry soldiers. Some Japanese soldiers even continued to rush forward for five or six meters under the influence of inertia before falling down screaming in pain.
Those who were shot were rarely seriously injured or killed because the rate of fire was so fast. Nearly 20 bullets came one after another in one second. Each fallen Japanese soldier had at least five or six bullets on his body.
There are holes everywhere.
Since he was condescending, it didn't really matter to Long Yan whether the Japanese troops were standing or lying down. He only needed to aim at the general direction of the Japanese troops and shoot all the way over. Reducing the bomb-receiving area did not mean that there was no bomb-receiving area.
As long as you shoot enough bullets, you can still be hit by the bullets while lying down.
After the bullet chain was finished and green smoke came out from the muzzle of the gun, Long Yan didn't even care to see the results: "Load the bullet chain!"
One signal soldier hurriedly delivered the ammunition chain that had been prepared long ago, and the other took the ammunition chain that had been empty of bullets, and filled the ammunition chain with the shotguns in the already opened ammunition box.
The two signal soldiers didn't expect that Second Lieutenant Long would be so perverted that he could empty out 250 rounds of ammunition in just a few breaths. They didn't know if these thousands of rounds of ammunition were enough for him.
Fortunately, the MG34 not only has excellent heat dissipation, but it is also winter at this time. Although the barrel is very hot, it is not yet time to replace the barrel. Otherwise, with the rapid fire just now, the barrel will have to be replaced immediately.
Here they were busy changing ammunition chains to prepare for the next attack, but the Japanese infantry over there were beaten badly.
In this round of attack alone, 8 Japanese infantrymen were killed on the spot and 14 others were seriously injured. A 50-man infantry squad almost turned into a squad in seconds.
Compared with the Japanese infantry who were directly killed, the seriously injured ones were worse than dead!
The most generous treatment they can enjoy is the hemostatic pack handed to them by the medical soldiers accompanying the team. But the few hemostatic packs carried by the medical soldiers are of basic use when facing wounded soldiers everywhere.
Moreover, even if you are lucky enough to use a hemostatic pack, the sudden drop in body temperature caused by massive blood loss will only make people feel even more bone-chilling in this near-zero weather.
If they cannot be quickly carried to the rear to be bandaged and kept warm, these wounded soldiers will only end up dying in severe pain and bone-chilling coldness, and with enough tenacious vitality, this process may last for several hours or even longer.
Obviously, this outcome is almost certain.
It is impossible for the Japanese infantry brigade to have this condition. Carrying the wounded soldiers away from the front line is the maximum they can do.
"Baga! About 480 meters to the right, the heavy machine gun squadron suppressed him with three heavy machine guns. The nine grenade groups attacked him with covering fire and killed him." Sekosuke roared angrily.
The sound resounded in the mountains and forests.
In one breath, he used half of his strongest firepower to deal with Longyan, which shows that Lieutenant Colonel Sekosuke hated the machine gun firepower that caused huge casualties to him.
The dense bushes did not allow the Japanese army to find the specific location where Longyan was hiding, but the Japanese army mainly focused on a firepower.
The three Type 92 heavy machine guns fired desperately, pouring almost 1,500 rounds of bullets into the area where Longyan was located in one minute. The sound of "whisking" warheads piercing the air could be heard in the ears of the three of them, like the cry of death.
There were also many bullets hitting the boulder where they were hiding. Stone chips flew everywhere, and countless branches of the bushes in front of them were broken.
But what is more terrifying than this are the grenades that are constantly exploding all around. The flying shrapnel blows up the soil and shrubs. The scorching air waves are surging in the mountains and fields, and the pungent smoke continues to flow towards the people hiding at the fire point.
Three people.
A grenade exploded just above the boulder. The boulder shook violently, and a burst of dust flew up and fell on the heads, faces, and bodies of the three people hiding in the fire spot.
If it weren't for this stone, this grenade, which weighed less than a kilogram, might have blown away the three of them.
Even a very nervous man like Long Yan couldn't help but feel the hair standing on end, let alone the two signal soldiers who had never been on the front line.
The two young faces have turned blue-white, and their lips are even bloodless.
"Hehe! I chose a good place! No matter how crazy the little devil is, he can't beat me! Keep working and see how I beat the bastard down."
Long Yan didn't care whether the two signal soldiers could hear it or not, he blew a tune to comfort himself, then leaned down again, holding a telescope and looking into the distance through the simple shooting hole he opened.
The Japanese army did not retreat!
Not only did they not retreat, but they increased their troops again!
The Japanese infantry team that had been attacked earlier left behind its wounded soldiers. The remaining 20 or so people continued to move forward, and another infantry team came from behind.
Are the Japanese going crazy?
Based on his understanding of the Japanese infantry, if an attack was frustrated, the infantry would be withdrawn first, and then they would attack the Chinese position with heavy firepower, and then attack again. How could it be continued like this?
It seemed that they did not intend to give their opponents on the position any time to breathe. They just wanted to use their superior strength to attack wave after wave until their opponents could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed.
And its tough tactics!
However, Long Yan likes it.
Isn't this the legendary point of contact with the wheat? Long Yan is born to be a docile donkey, and he takes soft things but not hard ones. Even Long Ying has always been kind to discuss with him and rarely scolded him loudly.
Let alone the Japanese following his example.
So, facing the hail of bullets passing over his head and ears, Long Yan continued to shoot.
Soon, another bullet belt was empty, then another, and then another
In less than ten minutes, Long Yan emptied six bullet belts, totaling 1,500 rounds of ammunition, and replaced the barrel twice.
The removed gun barrel could no longer be described as hot, but was close to dark red, as if it had been thrown into a steel-making furnace.
In order to ensure that it could be used again quickly, the two communicators also went to great lengths to pour water on the only two kettles of water the three of them carried.
On the Japanese position 500 meters away, there was silence.
There are already 4 infantry squads deployed on the frontal position, and now they all remain on the hillside.
There are some who can still fight, but there are not many of them anymore. If you fight them all, you can still form an infantry squad.
The rest were naturally dead or still somewhat alive. More than 150 khaki figures were scattered all over the hillside, which was shocking to look at.
Even the infantry squadron leader, who had been given a thumbs-down by his superior, looked at his superior with a pale face at this time, his face already stiff.
Although his infantry squadron only used one infantry squad, if the current tactics were followed, the other two infantry squads might not be able to escape the fate of rushing onto the battlefield.
If one person is not good, he will become a bare squadron leader like his colleague in front.
No, it might be even worse. What if my immediate superior ordered the infantry squadron leader to personally lead the charge?
That damn Chinese firepower point was like a tenacious cockroach. The brigade even had to aim all 4 heavy machine guns and 14 grenade launchers at that area. In less than ten minutes, 5,000 rounds of ammunition were fired.
and more than 200 rounds of grenades.
The reason why there are four is that one heavy machine gun was ordered to suppress the Chinese left-wing position, and another one was lost in the exchange of fire with the Chinese.
Yes, the Chinese were so arrogant that while suppressing the firepower of the infantry charge, they even exchanged fire with their own heavy machine gun positions deployed in the mountains and forests.
Unfortunately, one of the heavy machine gun's fire points was hit by the opponent's continuous fire. Both the first and second shooters were seriously injured, and the heavy machine gun's bolt was also damaged and temporarily unusable.
But what is painful is that the rampant Chinese still exist and are still spewing deadly streams of bullets.
Four infantry squads, with more than 100 people, suffered casualties from that heavy machine gun with a terrifying rate of fire.
"The Chinese people make me admire them a little bit! Yoxi, Maeda-kun, I agree with the plan you proposed earlier." Sekousuke, who had been silent for a long time, smiled instead of angry, and there was a look in his eyes that shocked the Japanese army captain.
luster.
"After conquering Munan Town, in order to pay tribute to the imperial officers and soldiers who died here, Maeda-kun, you can not only eat hot meals in the town, but you can also do whatever you want to do, I said, anything!
I want to turn this place into a dead land, so that any Chinese who sets foot on this land will have the mentality to no longer dare to be an enemy of the Japanese Empire!"
"Hi!" The Japanese Army Captain could only lower his head in response.
"So, notify Squadron Ogawa to come immediately to join the main force of my brigade. Our First Infantry Brigade is the sharpest arrow of our 10th Division. Who can stop us? There was none before, there is none now, and there will never be in the future.
"Se Kosuke's face was full of anger.
"Maeda-kun, you will lead the troops forward next. All troops participating in the battle will wear white scarves on their heads to mourn the Imperial officers and soldiers who died in our army. After the war, I will apply for the Golden Ocher Medal for you!"
Captain Maeda Jiro's legs suddenly tightened!
Otherwise, he might not be able to control the overwhelming urge to urinate.
His immediate boss was already crazy. He actually wanted to resort to the "death attack" created by the God of War back then!
But brother, do you know that less than a hundred people from the 3,000 death squads survived, including the two sons of the military god?
Faced with this tactic with a survival rate of only 1%, what Tsuguo Maeda wanted to do most at this moment was actually to shoot the boss in front of him who boasted that "there will never be one again".
If we are all dead, then there will really be no more.
But Tsuguo Maeda didn't even dare to show fear on his face, let alone draw his gun.
He was very aware of the character of his headstrong boss. As long as he dared to say no, he would not even have the chance to participate in a "death attack" and would be killed on the spot.
The so-called "lower to overcome superior" in the Japanese Army does not include low-level lieutenants like him.
While the Japanese army was in mourning and began to tie strips of white cloth from the military supplies they carried with them to their foreheads. If it was not enough, they would just tear it off from their standard white shirts. However, morale on the Chinese side was high.
That was not only the fact that they repelled four rounds of attacks by the Japanese army, which were like violent winds and waves, leaving Japanese corpses lying on the ground, but more importantly, their casualties were extremely low.
After a fierce battle, only 3 people were killed and 4 were wounded. The casualty rate of the entire army was less than 15%. Compared with the Japanese army that invested more than 200 people and suffered 150 casualties, it was even more severe.
This was something that none of the guards and soldiers could have imagined before entering the position.
The casualty rate is so low, firstly, because the Japanese army was swept away by the hail of submachine gun bullets without a chance to attack at close range, and secondly, because most of the Japanese army's heavy firepower was attracted away, otherwise the hail of grenades would have blown down.
It was enough for the Chinese soldiers on the battlefield to eat a potful of it.
Luo Wanzhi once had the hope that they would win this battle. Although even he felt a little crazy, after the magical ten minutes passed, this kind of ambition was constantly growing in his heart.
The machine gun and the magical second lieutenant who were only 250 meters away from him in a straight line were really awesome.
The continuous output of firepower is only one aspect, but the most awesome thing is its incredible survivability!
It cannot be said that the Japanese did not think of a solution. First of all, they were covered by all kinds of heavy firepower. Not to mention the heavy rain of heavy machine gun bullets, at least 200 grenades were thrown by the Japanese on the right wing position. The originally lush shrubs had been blown away.
, from a distance, it looks like a big face, black, yellow and green, showing the power of grenade grenades.
If someone wants to survive under such firepower, Luo Wanjian, who has experienced many battles, will definitely give him a hard fight. Why do you think explosives are firecrackers?
But someone just did it. Second Lieutenant Long and his machine gun never stopped shooting despite such artillery fire.
Under the urging of their own military orders, the tragic Japanese infantry faced the steadfast tongue of fire and killed their victims with various postures such as crawling, bending over, and running wildly.
You want to ask whether the Japanese army has thought about launching an attack from the left and right wing positions at the same time, which can at least involve the firepower of the Chinese position. Of course, they have.
Unfortunately, the water in the mountain stream on the right wing was too cold. The Japanese infantry who tried to cross the river were shivering with cold and stiff as soon as they entered the water. Half of their combat effectiveness was lost before they had a chance to enter the battlefield.
When the machine gun slightly turned its muzzle to fire, the Japanese soldier, whose brains were almost frozen solid, reacted like a dull wooden man standing in the river.
If you don't immerse your whole body in the water, you will be shot by machine gun bullets. If your whole body is immersed in the water, how can you still survive in this weather?
The Japanese infantry had very little time to choose, and most of the Japanese soldiers chose to freeze to death.
Then, they succeeded. Under the terrible machine guns, a dozen Japanese soldiers who chose too slow were killed. More than thirty Japanese soldiers who were forced to swim in the winter arrived on the other side of the river. Under a wave of fire suppression, they lay on the cold mud and were killed by the mountains.
The cold wind blew during the period and entered a miserable state of hypothermia.
Until the end of the entire battle, the more than 30 Japanese soldiers did not stand up from the bushes. They all had a strange smile on their faces, as if they were satisfied with their current situation. Their soaked military uniforms were basically soaked by them.
Take it off to reveal your relatively strong body.
This puzzled the Chinese soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield. Could it be that they were killed by heat instead of freezing?
If Tang Tuan were here, he might give these big-headed soldiers a more scientific explanation: when there is severe hypothermia, the body will be in a state of paralysis, but the brain will become extremely excited as the body temperature drops, the blood vessels will begin to expand, and the muscles will
It starts to release heat desperately, causing the brain to get a false signal of 'heat', and will issue wrong instructions for people to take off their clothes. Taking off clothes in this kind of weather will obviously only make you die faster, so until you freeze to death, the person will
There is still a smile on his face.
Sekosuke himself was the first to give up on this plan.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for his subordinates who froze to death, but that he thought it would be better to put his strength into the frontal battlefield. He bet that the hateful machine gun firepower point would not have too many bullets.
This is the experience gained by the Japanese Army Colonel after entering the Chinese battlefield for more than a year.
It's amazing that the Chinese can have a reserve of 1,000 rounds of ammunition for one machine gun. How can it be several times more? Maybe the Chinese are at the end of their game and are just short of an attack.
It can only be said that empiricism kills people. He bet that Long Yan's gun had no bullets, but Long Yan still had 2,500 bullets, enough to consume two more of his infantry squadrons.
The Japanese army on the left wing position is not good either. Long Yan specially arranged 35 men and a heavy machine gun there. Unless heavy firepower is concentrated, the Japanese army, let alone an infantry squadron, even if it is twice as many, they will not be able to attack in a short time.
Go into battle.
There was a brief moment of tranquility on the position. The Japanese army was waiting for their last infantry squadron and six heavy machine guns. Long Yan, whose face was already burned and his arms were sore, could rest and take a breath.
Shooting 1,500 rounds of bullets continuously is no easy task.
