The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 604 The Unique Tactical Killing Song of the Heavy Machine Gun

At the head of Zhongshan Village, everything was peaceful.

Seeing that the first two squadrons did not encounter any resistance, they entered Zhongshan Village smoothly.

Only then did Matsuda, the captain of the devil group who had been on tenterhooks, let out a long sigh of relief.

The war was urgent, so Matsuda couldn't think too much about it.

If it is normal, he should be able to think of it.

Since the Eighth Route Army had set up ambushes on the two flanks in advance, how could they leave this village, which could be used as a fortification, to these little devils in vain?

The battle at the head of the village started suddenly, just after the two leading squadrons of the Japanese army entered Qiancun.

Shen Quan's deployment tactics are very simple.

Relying on the houses, courtyard walls, tunnels, and tunnels in the village, the soldiers fought against the devils with curtains and tunnels.

At the head of the village, Shen Quan had already set a trap.

The second battalion has half a battalion, lurking in the hidden tunnels, tunnels, houses, and ditches in the village head area.

The soldiers' style of play was very simple. After approaching, they used distanced firepower to attack, and used darkness to attack clearly, completely entangled the devils from the two squadrons that came in first in the village area.

Soldiers are specially equipped with weapons that can burst out in close combat.

For example, Jin made submachine guns.

Like the shotguns that the Independence Armory already made, and the pump-action shotgun I got from John.

Shell guns, concealed light and heavy machine guns, rifle grenades, etc.

With these equipment especially suitable for melee combat, when the battle broke out suddenly, the devils of the two squadrons who entered first suffered a lot immediately.

One after another, the bullets hidden in the dark suddenly shot over like raindrops, and the little devil who was caught off guard had no time to dodge.

Sneak attacks from several shotguns were coming, the projectiles were like splashed ink, and there was no possibility to escape within 20 meters.

The gunshots at the head of the village joined together in a blink of an eye, erupting from various local areas.

The lives of the devils in the two squadrons who entered the village were harvested like leeks.

As for the Japanese troops outside the village who had not yet entered the village and retreated while fighting back, they were covered by the houses and buildings at the head of the village. They did not know the specific situation inside, but they heard fierce gunshots in the area of ​​the head of the village.

Matsuda's expression was terrible, and he knew he had been fooled again.

Sure enough, there is a trap set in advance by the cunning Balu in this village.

This piece of terrain is open, except for the Zhongshan Village in front of you, there is no other place that can be used as a solid fortification.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army troops fighting on both wings with the help of tunnels was too fierce.

Songtian had no choice. After realizing that there was an ambush by the Eighth Route Army at the head of the village, Songtian immediately ordered:

"Attack the village with all your strength and quickly occupy the village!"

What Matsuda thought was very good, since the Eighth Route Army had troops to set up an ambush in the area of ​​the village in advance.

I just need to use my tactics, forcibly grab the position at the head of the village, and then rely on the village to fight back against the Eighth Route Army troops outside the village.

"fire!"

boom -

In the process of retreating in a hurry, the Japanese army still did not give up such a sharp weapon as artillery.

These artillery are not only a drag during evacuation, but also the most powerful firepower during combat.

In the area at the head of the village, the two squadrons that the Japanese army entered first were intertwined with the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Devil Matsuda was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he was afraid of accidental injury, and he couldn't order the bombardment of the area at the head of the village.

Therefore, the muzzle can only be directed towards the Eighth Route Army troops in the two-wing tunnels outside the village.

The power of more than a dozen cannons was astonishing, and in an instant, the tunnels on the two wings were plunged into a sea of ​​guns.

Fortunately, the soldiers had already prepared and built the tunnels on the two wings quite well.

In order to avoid the shock wave damage caused by the explosion of the shells falling into the tunnel, the fortifications composed of multiple V-shaped trenches were dug as much as possible.

There is a simple anti-gun fortification in the tunnel - cat's ear hole.

This is a compulsory course for the independent regiment to train soldiers how to dig trenches since the battle at Lijiapo ended.

Kong Jie clearly stipulated that:

Whenever there is sufficient time, when the trench fortifications are built in advance.

The combat performance that the constructed fortifications can undertake must be diverse, not only to defend against the enemy's frontal fire assault, but also to have a certain anti-gun capability.

Just like the tunnel fortifications on the two wings.

A round of artillery fire from the devils fell down, and because of the defense of the tunnel, the casualties caused to the Eighth Route Army on the two wings were extremely limited.

Matsuda, who ordered the firing on the other side, also noticed the situation, and a round of shells fell.

In the tunnels on the two wings, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was only slightly stagnant.

After the smoke from the shells dissipated, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army poured in again, without any intention of weakening it.

Matsuda was stunned and ordered to continue firing.

What he can do at this moment, the most powerful counterattack against the Eighth Route Army, is the dozens of artillery pieces in front of him.

He intended to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in the tunnels on both wings through the artillery attack of the artillery squadron, so as to cover the main force of the brigade to quickly enter Zhongshan Village and take down the front fortifications of Zhongshan Village.

But how can the truth be so simple?
Just after Matsuda gave the order, more than a dozen artillery pieces of the devil were preparing for a new round of bombardment.

The ten M2 60 mortars deployed under Shen Quan's order finally showed their sharpness.

With the help of the previous Japanese artillery strikes, the devil's artillery positions have already been completely exposed, and they stayed in place to attack the fortifications on the two wings.

The devil's artillery position is not in a moving state, which is simply the best target to strike.

The forward artillery observation post sent back news of the Devils artillery positions.

Ten [-] mortars quickly corrected to shoot at Zhu Yuan, and then opened fire under Shen Quan's order.

boom -

The ten [-]-point mortars showed quite powerful power, and the shells exploded in the artillery position area behind the devil.

Shen Quan, who commanded the firing, saw the results of this round of artillery fire through the telescope, while applauding, he felt distressed from the bottom of his heart:

What a good artillery, it won't be long before the surname is Shen, but don't damage too much!
If it weren't for the conditions, Shen Quan even wanted to hold on to the cannon and hand over the dozen or so cannons to survive.

Of course, the actual situation is that it is basically impossible.

The little devil is not stupid, if you don't blow up his cannon, he will bombard you with cannon.

In order to prevent the artillery from being captured by the Eighth Route Army, the little devil even concentrated on blowing up the artillery at the last moment.

Therefore, it is not so difficult to capture an undamaged cannon from the Devil's pistol in its entirety.

At this moment, what Shen Quan has to do is to challenge this difficulty.

Ten [-] mortars, after a round of shelling, the devil's artillery position was hit hard.

The devil artillery who were firing at the Eighth Route Army positions on the two wings were blown to pieces.

At this time, if you look down from the perspective of God.

Due to the artillery of the Devil Squadron, it was previously covering the main force to attack Zhongshan Village.

At this moment, the dozen or so artillery pieces were slightly separated from the main force of the Japanese army.

There is a distance of more than 200 meters.

There were less than a squadron of devils left around the dozen artillery pieces.

The previous round of bombardment commanded by Shen Quan temporarily paralyzed the devil's artillery position.

Taking advantage of this short gap, in the tunnels on both wings, the soldiers who were closer to the devil's artillery position rushed out of the tunnel abruptly under the command of the commander, and launched a strong attack on the devil's artillery position.

I saw the second part-the plan to snatch the artillery positions.

Shen Quan ordered that the soldiers in the village head area stop holding back and attack with all their strength to suppress the firepower of the Japanese army.

Six heavy machine guns that had been buried in concealment for a long time suddenly appeared.

The main theme of combat no longer revolves around those sixty-handed mortars.

The [-] small cannons equipped in large numbers by the soldiers also showed unparalleled lethality.

The grenades launched by the grenade team also showed their style on this battlefield.

It is often possible to quickly and accurately destroy the machine gun firepower of the devils covering the infantry charge.

As for the devils of the two squadrons who entered the village first, after the soldiers made a surprise attack with the help of powerful melee weapons, their casualties had already exceeded [-]%.

The old devil Matsuda did not expect this.

He believed that his vanguard was fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army.

You can take advantage of the Eighth Route Army being entangled and lead the main force to take Zhongshan Village in one fell swoop.

So when the main force of the Songtian Brigade charged towards the fortification at the head of the village, they were running halfway.

Shen Quan arranged six heavy machine guns at the head of the village.

Plus more than 30 light machine guns.

There are also [-] small artillery and [-] mortar firepower.

Together, they poured down towards the oncoming devils.

Don't be too cool about this kind of vivid combat.

At a glance, a large number of devils rushed over.

Due to the suppression of the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on both wings, the area in front of us is limited and the terrain is open.

The devils didn't have time to pull out the skirmish line, and they didn't have any bunkers to rely on.

The confrontation between the two sides suddenly broke out.

It can be said that it was a unilateral fire massacre by the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion equipped with light machine guns usually shoot in continuous long bursts in order to seek a higher hit rate and destroy the enemy.

How can you care so much at this moment?

Seeing the devils rushing over like a tide, they directly mounted the light machine gun and fired continuously and quickly.

The machine gun spewed flames at a rate of nearly two hundred rounds per minute.

The bullets in the magazine kept emptying.

Constantly changing magazines, the hands of the ammunition filled with ammunition are sweating.

The second ammunition hand pinched the watch to count the time. Every two minutes, he quickly took out the spare barrel and replaced it with the hot barrel of the light machine gun.

Ensure that the machine gun can continue to be put into combat.

The flying bullets poured down on the devils clustered in the squad as much as possible.

Under such firepower, the fortifications that the soldiers had set up at the entrance of the village looked like a bottomless abyss. No matter how many devils there were, they would all accept their lives.

Seeing the rapid and tragic casualties of the Japanese army, Matsuda, the captain of the Japanese army commanding from the rear, had his eyes cracked.

He immediately realized that the soldiers of the two squadrons that he entered the village first were in danger.

Turning his head, he noticed the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops on both sides of the tunnel, trying to take away the artillery of the Imperial Squadron.

Matsuda adjusted the deployment urgently and ordered the rear guard to return quickly to support the artillery position.

After taking the artillery, use the artillery to bombard the village head area of ​​Zhongshan Village.

Destroy all the powerful firepower fortifications deployed by the Eighth Route Army at the head of the village.

Looking at the situation in front of me, the two pioneer squadrons that entered the village have been eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

Matsuda no longer had to worry about accidental injuries under the artillery bombardment.

... Shen Quan, who was crouching on the roof of a house and observing the situation of the Japanese army, immediately noticed the reinforcement of the devil's rearguard to the artillery position.

Considering that the devil's rear guard is still 800 meters away from the fortification at the head of the village.

Shen Quan immediately shouted: "Heavy machine gunner, don't worry about the devils in front of you, suppress the devil's rear guard, spread deep, and shoot overlapping!"

This is a unique combat tactic for heavy machine guns proposed by Kong Jie.

It is different from the close-range and almost straight-line shooting method of hitting targets visible to the naked eye in the past.

This unique heavy machine gun tactic is designed to strike long-distance target groups that cannot even be seen by the naked eye.

The way is very simple.

During operation, the heavy machine gunner tilts the muzzle up slightly.

Used to shoot far beyond the range of the rifle, even in areas that are invisible to the naked eye.

When shooting from the back, affected by the recoil and the vibration of the barrel, the bullets fired by the heavy machine gun will actually form a conical strike surface in the longitudinal section, and an elliptical strike area will be formed after landing.

This area is known as the "deep spread firing area".

The depth-spread shooting areas of multiple heavy machine guns overlap to increase the lethality, ensuring that under the almost raindrops of bullets, even at a relatively long shooting distance, they can still cause relatively large casualties to the enemy.

To put it more vividly, it is like holding a water basin and pouring water towards a distant area. The area of ​​the scattered raindrops overlaps continuously to ensure that there is almost no surface in the area where the water drops can escape.

The soldiers were ordered to quickly raise the muzzle of the heavy machine gun, and after the bullets poured down, the devils, who were preparing to support the artillery position, were swept down piece by piece by the heavy machine gun bullets fired from behind.

Shen Quan commanded several [-]-[-] mortars to bombard the area between the devil's artillery position and the rear guard that supported the past.

In order to prevent the Japanese rear guard from approaching the artillery position.

This confrontation lasted less than 2 minutes.

The soldiers in charge of the assault in the tunnels on the two wings used the [-] small cannons to suppress the firepower of the Devils artillery positions.

With the firepower of the heavy machine guns at the head of the village and the firepower of the [-] mortars, they quickly captured the devil's artillery position...
