In the Guanci Civil War, during the anti-rebellion battle in North China, although there were a lot of Hanyang-made rifles seized, there was not much ammunition. Compared with the revenue and expenditure of each battle, the surplus was not much. After all, the National Government now has a year's
Even the Central Army can barely maintain its equipment and arms production. The main ammunition production needs to be supplied to several major war zones.
As for those miscellaneous troops who are active behind enemy lines and do not dare to fight the Japanese army, but it is very dangerous for the National Army to compete with the 18th Army for territory. Although it is not that they are not devoid of supplies, the amount of supplies they can obtain is really not much. If
Except for the Eighteenth Group Army and the newly formed Fourth Army, all the ammunition required by the troops in the country is supplied on demand. Even if the National Government is exhausted, it will not be able to produce so much ammunition. With limited production capacity, it can still
Priority will be given to elite troops and the central army.
The amount of ammunition reserves of these troops is not much better than that of the 18th Army. Although it is more generous, it is definitely not much more. For these miscellaneous troops, each theater has always given some to them if they are willing, and some if they are not willing to.
You can't even get a dime. For 100% of the supplies, it's already pretty good to get three achievements.
In addition, these troops that can be left behind the enemy lines in a severe situation are almost all miscellaneous. Many of them are even mixed troops. The variety of their weapons is as messy as that of the 18th Army. After the first battle, they are not considered expired.
, I don’t know what arsenal produces bullets that don’t fit at all. The bullets that can be used, in total, the ones captured are very limited.
It is very rare to have more bullets than consumed. Even such a small amount of bullets were captured, but as the war environment changed, they were gradually consumed. Made in Hanyang, among the various types of rifles currently used by the Chinese army, the number
The largest number of domestically produced rifles has become the smallest type of original ammunition available to the 18th Army.
Although the two major military regions have put a lot of effort into it, they still need to leave some ammunition for the troops left behind to ensure that the troops left behind will not be unable to use a considerable part of their weapons due to a severe shortage of ammunition. Therefore, the equipment was changed to
The batch of Hanyang-made rifles of the Guard Corps does not have much original ammunition. As for the reloaded bullets, forget it.
Although this batch of Hanyang-made rifles were originally selected when the two military regions were refitting, they were all selected in the best condition, but most of them were used for too long and the guns were seriously aging. After all, this kind of weapon has been produced since the late Qing Dynasty and has been in production to this day.
It is more than fifty years old. Even if it is a new gun, the quality is not very good.
The quality of the gun itself is average, and can only be described as barely usable. Coupled with China's years of warlord melee, weak military industry capabilities, and the quality limitations of the army itself. For the Eighteenth Army, this batch is essentially
Second-hand weapons are even more poorly maintained.
Although the batch in the hands of the Guard Regiment is the best batch of similar rifles in the 18th Army, but these batches fell into the hands of the 18th Army. Among the weapons, most of the guns did not have bayonets and the parts were missing.
Many of them are incomplete. If 20 out of 100 guns have purges, that’s pretty good. The so-called good condition is just different from those old guns that can’t even pull the bolt and have no rifling.
Just comparison.
For most of these guns, even if they use original bullets, the effective range is only one to two hundred meters. If the propellant and warhead quality are mixed with water, neither the range nor the power can be compared with the original bullets, or even
If reloading bullets need to be chambered before using them, wouldn't it be more difficult to ensure the safety of the headquarters?
This is not an ambush where you shoot from a distance of fifty meters and charge after three shots. This is a major matter related to the safety of the headquarters and the entire advancing army. However, the range of the bullets in the hands of the soldiers is only more than a hundred meters, or even dozens of meters.
Mi, are you kidding about the security of the headquarters? When the logistics ministers of the two military regions met, no one dared to equip the security regiment with their own reloaded bullets.
After doing this, the entire guard regiment has 20,000 rounds of spare ammunition on hand in addition to the regiment headquarters, as a supplement when necessary. All the troops in the entire guard regiment are only issued 20 rounds of ammunition for ordinary soldier rifles. Czech style
Light machine guns generally only have three magazines of ammunition.
At present, this guard regiment, which is responsible for the last line of defense of the most important brain of the entire advancing army, has actually become the one with the worst equipment and the least ammunition among all the troops of the entire advancing army. If it is like the Japanese army's previous offensive,
If we come here three times, I'm afraid the limited ammunition on hand by the defenders defending the north of the village will be exhausted.
Twenty rounds of ammunition, in the absence of automatic weapons, can only increase the firepower density as much as possible, and cannot easily use bayonets. No matter how carefully calculated the use is, it cannot last for too long. After all, no one can bear it.
I can't afford the consequences of letting these guys break into the village.
The attack distance is too close and the time does not allow the defenders to accurately aim. The only way to stop the enemy's offensive is to increase the firepower density as much as possible. Because even machine guns are lacking, the only way to increase the firing rate of the rifle is as much as possible.
Under the condition of high speed, there is basically not much possibility to save ammunition.
When the equipment in hand is poor, the density of firepower should be increased as much as possible. This is also one of the main reasons why the defenders consume ammunition quickly. After three attacks, even those veterans who are experienced and calculated to fire will at least fire out of their hands.
The amount of ammunition is half. Some people have even used up all the ammunition on hand except for a magazine in the chamber.
It turned out that considering the security of the headquarters, various troops, including some heads of the headquarters, also requested that the guard regiment be redressed as soon as possible. However, these requests were rejected by the commander and political commissar who gave priority to the front-line combat troops. Moreover, the two military and political chiefs
Considering that the headquarters has been following the operations of the combat troops, safety is still guaranteed. There is no coordination of ammunition before departure.
The average number of bullets in the hands of the defenders is twenty, so even if they are careful, they will not last too long. In fact, when the third attack was launched, Yasuhiro Takada had already discovered that the opponent's salvo firepower was higher than the original rhythm.
It was a bit slower. The density of firepower was also incomparable to the first two attacks.
Under such an important situation of defending the target, if this situation still occurs, there is only one explanation, that is, the defenders have run out of ammunition. There are not many rifle bullets left, and grenades, which are the main firepower of the defenders, no matter how many there are,
How long can it last? With the configuration of a general army, no matter how many grenades there are, there are not enough bullets.
It was precisely for this reason that the troops who launched the attack reached the place closest to the opponent's position during the third attack. Although they were finally hit by a rain of grenades from the defenders and failed, it also made Takada
Taihong thought he had found his opponent's weakness.
If Yang Zhen had not mobilized his troops to take over the defense, then the defense line in the north of the village, under the almost non-stop attack density of the Japanese army, would have lasted for another half hour at most, and all the ammunition of the defenders would have been exhausted. In the village
As the Japanese and puppet troops' offensive in the east became more fierce and their troops were larger, the commander of the guard regiment could only concentrate most of the limited ammunition to the east of the village.
When the ammunition is exhausted, the defenders of the northern part of the village can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents no matter how reluctant they are. But when it comes to the ability of hand-to-hand combat, let’s not talk about the amount of troops invested by both sides. In terms of hand-to-hand combat alone, the defenders must at least three
Against one, you may be able to barely gain a certain advantage. This result must be achieved only when you have an absolute advantage in military strength.
It means that the troops are invested one-on-one, and the strength of both sides is equal. Then even if the defenders advancing here are veterans, it will be difficult to win in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army who are currently at their peak. And there are not many in the north of the village.
As far as the defenders are concerned, even a draw means a loss.
In Yasuhiro Takada's view, by that time, will the defenders under the suppression of their own powerful firepower still have so many troops to fight hand-to-hand combat with themselves? Even if they have a large number of grenades in their hands, but with grenades alone, it will take
Trying to stop his offensive in the north of the village is almost a fool's errand.
By then, as soon as the fighting starts in the west of the village, the main force of the defenders in the village will definitely not be able to take care of this side. By then, they will be attacked on three sides, and what will the defenders in the north of the village do with neither reinforcements nor ammunition?
Stop your own attack. Even if the attack at the east of the village fails, you will definitely win this battle.
Yasuhiro Takada's move was very vicious. He used the plainclothes team to consume the limited ammunition in the opponent's hands, and when the plainclothes team used as a blockade was exhausted, the defenders probably had very little ammunition, and there was probably not much left.
In this way, his casualties are greatly reduced, and he also gets rid of a thorn in his side in disguise. Why wouldn't Yasuhiro Takada do this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone?
It's just that the prerequisite for his choice to succeed is that the anti-alliance troops in the village do not participate in the war. But with Yang Zhen's consistent character, he will never sit idly by at this time. Although the troops brought by Yang Zhen are not as strong as
The Japanese and puppet troops were in front of us, but in terms of equipment, they were far superior.
The automatic rifle, which has now become the standard equipment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, can give full play to its maximum firepower advantage at this distance. Even if they are the same company, the density of its firepower is far from the firepower of the same company.
Comparatively.
Although Yang Zhen's intervention could not make Yasuhiro Takada's plan to use others as human shields and consume all the ammunition of the defenders, the possibility of success of his plan to lead the Japanese army into the village and establish victory in one fell swoop became extremely slim.
, but I am afraid that the hope of success will only make him farther and farther away. I am afraid that he can only rejoice in vain. If he can save his own life by then, it will be considered a fluke.
Because the infantry company in Yang Zhen's hands is not only equipped with automatic rifles, but also a squad light machine gun and a platoon general-purpose machine gun, as well as a strengthened 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
.There is also a new type of weapon, which is still in the battlefield testing stage with only a few troops. Compared with the grenades equipped by the Japanese army, it is a far more powerful weapon.
In fact, the Japanese and puppet troops in the north of the village were not completely aware of the change of opponent. The first person to notice the change of opponent was none other than Cui Sihu, who was driven off by Yasuhiro Takada and personally supervised the battle. This guy's experience cannot be said.
It is quite rich and the sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
When the anti-alliance troops here were handing over positions with the guard regiment, they tried their best to use the houses that had been opened in the north of the village as cover and tried to be as secretive as possible to prevent the enemy from noticing. However, no shots were fired here yet.
, I still felt something strange from this guy.
What made this guy realize that something was wrong was the occasional flash of light behind the wall that looked calm in front of him, as if the defenders had fled. Seeing this very different light, Cui Sihu immediately felt
Something was wrong. The reason was nothing else. He could tell at a glance that this glimmer of light was the light reflected from the sun shining on the helmet.
