Liu Fei and the platoon leader took advantage of the cover of the terrain, using the two submachine guns in their hands to form left and right crossfires, and with the soldiers who stayed behind to use grenades to coordinate with them, they took advantage of the submachine gun's speed of fire and grenades in close combat to see the opponent's weakened firepower as an advantage. It could be occupied, and the Japanese troops who launched another charge fought back.
The Type 100 submachine gun equipped by the Japanese army uses eight-millimeter Nanbu pistol bullets. Although it weighs nearly four kilograms, it is a bit too bulky, and because it uses the same bullets, its penetration is as poor as their pistols, and it adopts free-style shooting. The method has no safety, it is always in a state of firing, and the misfire rate is extremely high.
Since Liu Fei picked up the gun, the vibration caused by running caused the gun to fire twice within a few dozen meters. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have fallen to this strange-looking and carrying weapon first. Japanese submachine guns with bayonets, but the Holai is an automatic weapon, which is far more suitable than the Type 38 rifle in this environment.
However, for Liu Fei, who was somewhat frightened by the extremely high misfire rate of this gun, if he had any other choice, he would definitely use this gun before actually using it, and he almost gave himself a self-inflicted gun. Although he was not afraid of death, he could not accept an inexplicable death.
However, no matter how many shortcomings this is the first type of submachine gun equipped by the Japanese army, there is one thing that cannot be compared with the self-made submachine gun of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that uses a thirty-five-round magazine, and that is its own curved magazine. The ammunition capacity is fifty rounds. If the veteran fires in burst mode, its sustained firepower will be higher than that of a self-made submachine gun made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Moreover, it adheres to the fine tradition of Japanese infantry weapons, and it has the same bipod as a light machine gun. The shooting accuracy is as high as other weapons of the Japanese army. If a submachine gun is fired in burst mode, it can even shoot a rifle. Its accuracy is probably unique among all countries in the world.
Although this gun has shortcomings of one kind or another, Liu Fei and the platoon leader both participated in the military region's direct reconnaissance brigade training team called the Beast Camp and were familiar with the use of various weapons, so they gave him a gun. Regardless of whether you have seen infantry weapons before, you only need to be slightly familiar with them to master them. In the hands of two veterans, one is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles and is also very familiar with various weapons. I am afraid that the designer of this weapon has played a role that even the designer could not have imagined. power.
Although this kind of submachine gun itself does not have a burst fire design, the two submachine guns can be fired accurately by two people by pulling the trigger and adjusting the firing mode, killing and injuring the Japanese soldiers who rushed up to try to take advantage of them, collecting Japanese soldiers for their subordinates. Weapons and ammunition, persist in fighting and gain valuable time.
After the soldiers who collected ammunition returned, Liu Fei gave the remaining three submachine guns to the two squad leaders and veterans for use. He took off the satchel containing the Japanese army's secret map and telegraph code, and stuffed it into a row of long tunnels. : "I'll stay and continue to complete the mission. You break out immediately with a veteran and hand this satchel to the regiment leader. It contains some top-secret maps of the Japanese army and the password for its vertical communication. It will be very important for the regiment's next operation. Very helpful.”
The red-eyed platoon leader over there did not accept the satchel he handed over. He raised his gun and shot a Japanese soldier who was trying to sneak attack to death. All my brothers are staying here. I can’t live alone. As long as I stay here alone, I will never become a deserter.”
"You are a well-educated kid and your brain works faster than mine. You are more useful alive than me. You leave and I stay to continue the mission. You and the rest of the brothers retreat, and I blow up this bunker here. I just took a look and saw that all the artillery shells here have been loaded with fuses and are ready to be fired. The little devils dare not kill them because they are afraid of detonating the artillery shells and sending them to the west together."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Japs didn't dare to make a killing move, we would have been eaten alive by the Japs with our small force alone. This little Japs infantry is tyrannical, and the damn artillery is not bad either. Even though you have been in the training team, you have to I'm not as good as you in conducting investigations, but you're still a little behind in real on-the-spot command.
"Xiao Liu, gunshots have been heard behind us. It is no longer possible for us to retreat from the shelter. We are rushing forward about ten meters, which is a Japanese artillery position. The shooting hole there is large enough for you to drill through. Get out, I will send you out with my troops, and then you will all retreat."
"And the location there is relatively moderate. If it is detonated, it can destroy the entire Japanese artillery position. It is still a bit out of the way." At this point, the platoon leader did not continue to argue with Xiao Liu about who should retreat, and waved his hand. The troops, instead of retreating, rushed forward again.
This is a little biased. Detonating the Japanese artillery shells here may not completely destroy this large-scale artillery fortification. Whether it is to send out the people who are protruding, or to completely blow up the artillery fortification, at least to Go forward nine to ten meters.
But the last ten meters are not easy in the face of the superior Japanese encirclement. Especially now that there is no individual firepower advantage, every step forward is almost at the cost of life. Not only It is becoming increasingly difficult to attack forward, and the gunfire behind them is getting louder and louder, which means that the only remaining people are trapped here.
The sound of gunfire coming from behind also means that both the company commander Qi Zhiyuan who attracted the attention of the Japanese army and the combat team left by Liu Fei outside the hidden department to block the Japanese reinforcements that may rush over at any time are probably all gone. The army was destroyed. How could we survive the Japanese attack from both sides and complete the tasks assigned by our superiors? For the veteran First Platoon Leader, there was no choice left.
At a distance of ten meters, in front of the almost crazy Japanese army, the price paid is destined to be high. At this moment, all the troops have been replaced with Type 38 rifles and Type 100 submachine guns. The troops who have lost their firepower advantage are constantly attacking the Japanese army. It is more difficult to move forward under the denial.
Although Liu Fei and the platoon leader were unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat, facing the swarming Japanese troops and no longer having the firepower advantage, the ten-meter distance was almost a melee, and even the wounded fired grenades and The Japanese troops who rushed up died together before finally reaching the target. If it were not for the narrow terrain and the limited number of troops deployed at one time, the remaining ten or so people would probably have fallen under the Japanese bayonets.
When they finally reached the final target after a hard battle, Liu Fei and the platoon leader used the remaining ammunition of their submachine guns to disperse the Japanese troops in this gun position. Only a deputy squad leader and two lightly wounded people were left beside them. , all the remaining soldiers have died.
After a hard fight, and at the cost of almost casualties, they finally captured the largest and most important artillery bunker in the Japanese bunker. The platoon leader turned his head and struggled to remove the last pack of explosives he was carrying with one hand. After placing it on the pile of Japanese artillery shells indoors, he hastily wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, took out the last grenade and sat on the pile of artillery shells, turned to Liu Fei and said: "Xiao Liu, let's go, from the artillery If we don’t leave, it will really be too late.”
At this point, the platoon leader stopped Liu Fei from arguing about who should stay. After struggling to remove the magazine with half the remaining bullets from the gun, he threw it to Liu Fei and pointed at the gun that he could no longer lift. The left arm said: "Xiao Liu, don't fight anymore. In the hand-to-hand fight just now, the big tendon in my left hand was broken by the little Japanese's bayonet, and my right leg was also shot. Now it is a cripple. Retreating will only drag you down."
"You leave immediately. I'll stay here to detonate the explosives and these shells we planted. Originally, I was worried that we didn't have enough explosives on hand. Now it's okay. The Japanese shells are piled here. With these shells, it's enough to destroy the Japanese shells." This artillery position has been sent to the west."
"Xiao Liu, please go quickly. Don't hesitate. When the Japanese attack, you won't be able to leave even if you want to. Since you found something important in the Japanese headquarters, you must send it to the regiment no matter what. Commander, let's go quickly, we can't let the company commander and the others die in vain."
Looking at the row of resolute faces, Liu Fei wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out. At this time, it was useless to say anything. He looked back at the shooting hole that represented his way out. Looking at his shoulder bag containing important documents again, Liu Fei gritted his teeth, saluted a standard military salute to the platoon leader, turned around and said to the three people around him: "Let's go."
Hearing the word "go" finally come out of Liu Fei's mouth, he watched them jump out of the artillery firing hole one by one and quickly disappear into the thick night. The platoon leader smiled and turned around to remove the safety catch of the grenade in his hand. He put it to his mouth and made final preparations.
When he heard the messy footsteps outside that heralded another Japanese attack, the platoon leader knew that the last moment had arrived. He smiled without any hesitation and used his teeth to pull the safety of the Type 97 grenade in his hand, and shined it. The wall was hit hard and placed on the pile of shells. While waiting for the grenade to explode, he used his only remaining hand to hold the fuse of the explosive pack next to him, which was only a few centimeters long.
When they launched another charge, but did not encounter the Japanese troops who had resisted fiercely before, and finally rushed into the artillery bunker they had abandoned, they were horrified to see the French-made 155mm howitzer indoors. On the pile of artillery shells on the side, there was a smiling wounded anti-Union soldier sitting. On both sides of his body, on one side was a grenade that was already in firing state, and on the other side was a grenade that was smoking and triggering a fuse. The explosive bag that has been burned to the end.
By the time the Japanese troops, who were stunned by the scene in front of them, reacted and wanted to retreat, it was already too late. The explosion of a row of long-ranging grenades and lit explosive packs destroyed the fuse-laden artillery shells in the artillery bunker. The explosion was detonated, and the huge power of the explosion caused a chain reaction, causing the surrounding Japanese troops to continuously explode the shells and explosive packets in the artillery bunkers that had been dropped or had not yet been dropped.
