"Captain, the Japs are coming to us" Battalion Commander Bajin reported to the regiment commander in a low voice with a wireless microphone.
"I saw it. Let the brothers take cover. I'll give the Japanese some shells first." Jin Feilong held a microphone in one hand and a telescope in the other. While speaking, he didn't forget to look forward with the telescope. He can already see the Japanese here.
He originally thought that the Japs would follow the narrow path to join the Japs trapped on the Hangu Ancient Road. Unexpectedly, the Japs coming from behind were much more cunning than the previous wave. They stopped at the entrance of the ancient road for a while, but the Japs not only did not go forward. Entering inside, you start climbing up the mountains on both sides.
Jin Feilong's troops were lying in ambush on the top of the mountain. Didn't the Japanese climb up and bump into him head-on? Jin Feilong was not surprised by this, but was overjoyed. He had long been looking forward to a head-on battle with the Japanese.
"The artillery battery is ready, let me fire." It was Jin Feilong's habit before giving orders. He was used to saying this. In fact, there was no need to prepare at all. The artillery battery of the 501st Regiment had been preparing all day long.
"Boom, boom, boom." The six mortars of the regiment's mortar company came up and fired three times. After the attack, they carried it and ran away.
More than a dozen shells exploded in the crowd of Japs. A dozen explosive points immediately knocked the Japs upside down. The Japs screamed like headless flies, and some were lying down, some were running around. Find a place to hide from the shells.
Seeing the chaos in front of him, the commander of Miura Saburo's division was furious. He pulled out his Japanese sword and started yelling and cursing. There happened to be a boy who was probably stunned by the sound of cannons and ran about twenty meters away from the lieutenant general. Lieutenant General Miura was so angry that he crawled to the ground crying and wanted to go home. He ran over with a Japanese sword, cursed Bage Yalu, and stabbed the poor Japanese soldier to death.
The lieutenant general killed someone. The Japanese officers who saw this scene immediately cheered up and shouted loudly. They each rushed to the Japanese group with Japanese swords to gather the troops and direct the battle.
The officers took responsibility, and the Japanese soldiers gradually began to shoot in an organized manner. The grenadier among them also set up the grenade. After a while, several small crow-like grenades flew up, "Boom, boom, boom "With a few sounds, the grenade landed where the mortar company was and exploded. Fortunately, our artillery moved quickly, otherwise we would have suffered revenge from the Japanese.
The mortars gave the Japanese a powerful blow, and then it was time for the riflemen of the two armies to shoot at each other. Seeing that the Japanese were all in position, Bajin shouted "Hit." He raised his hand and fired the box cannon first. Burst firing, and then the gunshots on our army's position rang out.
"Bang bang bang." "Click da da." "Boom, boom." The explosions of various gunshots and bullets intertwined, and the battle on both sides of the mountains started at the same time.
The Japanese chariot's off-road capabilities were quite strong. It even climbed halfway up the mountain, tilting its gun barrel to support the Japanese infantry. The artillery company's mortars had no effect on the Japanese chariot. After a few more shots, they went there specifically. Dealing with the Japanese infantry, when the Japanese chariot saw that there was nothing to do here, it immediately became energetic, fired a shot and ran forward for a while, slowly approaching our army's position.
¡°Battal Commander, the enemy¡¯s chariot is coming.¡± Bajin was having a great time fighting with a Czech gun in his arms, when a soldier next to him reminded him that the enemy¡¯s chariot was coming.
"This is a fucking heavy machine gun, aim it at the Japanese tanks."
The Bajin battalion is equipped with six water-cooled heavy machine guns. These are powerful and powerful. Although they are not a special tool for fighting tanks, they are not completely useless against thin-skinned small tanks like the Japs. After receiving the battalion, After the long order, the heavy machine gun that was suppressing the firepower of the Japanese machine guns immediately shifted its muzzle to hit the Japanese tanks.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug." A string of bullets were fired at the Japanese tank. Two heavy machine guns were fired at a tank. The continuous bullets hit the enemy tank. Sure enough, the Japanese tank turned around and ran away. If it didn't run, it would be like this after a while. The tank had to be deflated. The Japanese who drove the tank were not stupid. Seeing that the situation was not good, they turned around and ran away.
"Okay, the Japanese tank has been beaten away." The soldiers on the battlefield cheered. They originally thought that the tank would have to be blown up by people risking their lives holding bundles of grenades, but they didn't expect that they could also be beaten away with a machine gun. Victory can certainly give the immortal warriors reason to cheer.
In fact, people are killed every moment on the battlefield. It's just that compared to the soldiers who are killed when the two armies shoot each other, the soldiers who hold explosives to blow up the tanks and die together with the enemy's tanks in the spotlight look more heroic and have a greater impact on people's souls. The shock was also more intense, and the commander was able to come up with more reliable fighting methods on the fly, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the battle.
Seeing that their comrades had made a great contribution, the other machine gunners were not to be outdone. All the machine guns began to aim at the Japanese tanks and shoot. Of course the Japanese did not dare to let their tanks get beaten like this. The infantry commanders immediately commanded the machine guns to fire at our machine gun formations.?Shoot.
Our machine gunners had to turn their guns to fire back at the Japanese machine guns between tanks. As a result, the frequency of our machine gunners' deaths increased rapidly, and the attacks on the Japanese tanks were not as powerful as before.
"Machine gun, commander, bring me some more machine guns." Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Bajin immediately asked the regiment leader Jin Feilong for help. Now Bajin was more than just a fierce general. The battalion commander Bajin was quickly Progress towards becoming an experienced all-round commander is growth in combat.
"Okay, I'll transfer another machine gun platoon to you." Jin Feilong is on the battlefield. Of course he knows the situation that Bajin is facing. Now the artillery battalion of the division has asked the military seats to be transferred to the Hangu Pass gate. If there is Anti-war artillery, one gun at a time, the Japanese bastards have long since dared not be arrogant.
Three more heavy machine guns were brought up. Bajin and his soldiers finally withstood the Japanese's crazy attack. The most important thing was experience. Bajin was able to repel the Japanese tanks with the heavy machine gun. This happened quickly. The experience spread among the soldiers of our army, not only the 500th Brigade, and not only the New 501st Division. This experience quickly spread through wireless telephones to all the troops of the 500th Army, the 3rd Division and the 1st Brigade, and all the troops of the 500th Army. Chang Gao Quan also knew.
"Haha, okay, our soldiers are omnipotent on the battlefield. The order is conveyed to the entire army. From now on, when encountering a Japanese tank, they will always shoot with water-cooled machine guns. If commanders at all levels are not allowed to go up, they will send soldiers to hug them. Exploded with dynamite.¡±
Gao Quan set a new rule for the 500 Army in one sentence. In fact, he knew in his heart that the heavy machine guns that could hit were basically light tanks such as bean chariots, which were the only ones in the Japanese army. Small tanks are the most numerous and can do the most damage to our soldiers. It would be great if we don't have to send in explosives to risk our lives.
"How are the Secretary-General and Zheng Guotai doing?" Gao Quan asked the combat staff beside him.
"The troops led by the Secretary-General and Commander Zheng are not far behind the Japanese army. They are waiting for orders from the military."
