The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 122
After He Wei's gunshots, the Sixth Company's position seemed to explode. All the soldiers who were sleeping were awakened. They picked up their weapons and rushed out of the hiding place. He Wei pulled the soldier who had survived the disaster. The second row of soldiers hid in the concealment at the corner of the trench.

Previously, in order to deal with the Japanese infantry that broke into the trenches, He Wei specially built longitudinal firing equipment fortifications and lifting doors to block the trenches at the corners of the trenches, but they were never used because He Wei did not give the Japanese any The opportunity for people to break into the trenches unexpectedly played a big role in saving their lives tonight.

"Hide inside, don't make a sound, hurry up."

He Wei kicked the soldier in and hid in the concealed part of the longitudinal firing equipment. Each concealed part of the longitudinal firing equipment has a longitudinal shooting port, which means that at the corner, from the longitudinal firing equipment fortifications The firepower at the firing port was enough to block the entire traffic trench at the corner. He and Wei hid inside and looked out through the shooting port. The sound of soldiers from the Sixth Company shouting and setting up defenses was everywhere in the position. Only the trench on the opposite side didn't move at all. The sky was dark and dark. After staring for a long time, he couldn't see anything. He Wei estimated that most of the Japanese soldiers were hiding in the trench and did not dare to go forward.

It was so dark, and the two sides were facing each other at the corner. No one wanted to make the first move. With this kind of visibility and this kind of terrain, it was not a place where the first strike would gain the advantage and the second strike would suffer.

"Sir, what should I do? The Japanese seem to have stopped moving. How about I fire a shot?"

The soldier in the second row pulled the formal bolt of the rifle, ejected the shell, and was about to shoot, but was quickly stopped by He Wei. He Wei thought for a moment and handed over his Jin-made submachine gun. The soldier took it He passed the gun and asked in confusion: "Sir, why did you give me this gun? I don't know how to use it."

He Wei gritted his teeth and said: "I have put a new magazine on this gun and the chamber is loaded. Now we don't want to take action first, and neither do the Japanese. When I go out in a while, I will attract the Japanese here. You are right here." Watch, when you hear me say fire, you immediately pull the trigger. You don’t have to aim, just pull the trigger and hold the fire."

The soldier nodded: "Sir, I understand."

He Wei left his rifle in the hidden part of the longitudinal firing equipment, put a new magazine on the twenty ring in his hand, climbed out of the hidden part gently, and moved towards the front of the corner of the trench, and At the same moment, the Japanese army was only seven or eight meters away from He Wei. There were only six Japanese soldiers who rushed in. He Wei suddenly attacked and killed three of them with random shots. The remaining three people lay on the ground and used the two dead soldiers to kill them. The corpses of Chinese soldiers were used as bunkers, and they lay prone on the spot, staring closely at the corner of the trench.

When He Wei plotted against them, the remaining three Japanese soldiers were also trying to kill He Wei, and they were even more anxious than He Wei, because the soldiers of the Sixth Company hidden in the hidden part of the position were searching everywhere in the trenches. , if it continues, the three Japanese soldiers will face dozens or even hundreds of Chinese soldiers. By then, these Japanese soldiers will have no choice but to see Amaterasu.

Their only way to survive was to kill the two He Wei men who were confronting them, and then quickly escape from the trenches, so that they could still have a glimmer of hope.

"Captain Cao, I didn't see clearly just now. There seemed to be two enemies. Let's throw grenades and kill them."

In the trench, a Japanese soldier anxiously asked Commander Cao beside him. In the position, there were more and more shouts and footsteps of Chinese soldiers.

The Japanese Army Commander was much calmer and said in a low voice: "Baga, the Chinese army will find us soon after the grenade explodes. The machine guns in those bunkers can hit all sides. Throwing the grenade can indeed kill the enemy." , but we will die soon, you two, don’t worry, the Chinese army can’t find us yet, it’s best to rush up and deal with the two Chinese soldiers with knives, kill them, and we will leave immediately.”

After Captain Cao finished speaking, he put the [-] rifle behind his back and took out the Commander Cao command knife from his waist. The other two Japanese soldiers also picked up the [-] posture, stood up slowly, and moved forward. The three Japanese soldiers all had many years of experience. Veterans with high tactical literacy, several of them lined up in a low posture, leaning on the edge of the trench and moving against the wall.

He Wei was hiding at the front of the corner of the trench, paying attention to the movements on the other side. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a few faint footsteps, and realized that the Japanese army might be advancing. He Wei decisively seized the opportunity and He stood up with a shout and rushed out.

"Your grandpa is here, feeding you some peanuts."

He Wei cursed loudly, stood up straight, and the twenty-gun banged in his hand. After some pretense, He Wei ran away. The bullets fired by the twenty-gun flew past the three Japanese soldiers and hit them. On the ground, seeing the Chinese soldier coming forward first, several people could no longer hold back and quickly chased after him, trying to kill the Chinese soldier in front of them with a knife.

Just a few meters away, while running, He Wei glanced back. The Japanese soldiers clinging to the wall of the trench were about to rush to the nozzle of the longitudinal firing equipment. He Wei shouted loudly: "Inside the concealment department, shoot." .”

The soldier in the concealment department of the longitudinal shooting equipment heard He Wei's command command and firmly squeezed the trigger of the Jin-made submachine gun in his hand.

Da da da da da da da da da da da
The Jinzao submachine gun spit out a stream of flames, and all twenty rounds of bullets were poured out in less than ten seconds. The three Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and were advancing against the wall. They never expected that bullets would actually come out of the wall and walk away. The Japanese soldier at the front, Captain Cao, and a soldier were hit by more than a dozen bullets and fell to the ground dead on the spot. The Japanese soldier at the end was lucky enough not to die, but he was also hit by one bullet each in the thigh and waist. mm caliber bullets.

The Japanese soldier fell to the ground, covering his wounds and wailing in pain. At this moment, He Wei quickly emerged from the hidden part of the longitudinal shooting equipment and ran over to check the Japanese soldier's body. This scene was in front of the Japanese soldier. But it was very scary in his eyes. The sky was dark, and a fast and strange shadow appeared quickly, getting bigger and bigger, getting closer, like a ghost in the mountains.

Seeing the injured Japanese soldier, He Wei did not waste too much time on this guy. He casually picked up the command knife in the hand of the fallen Japanese sergeant on the ground. He Wei walked over. The Japanese soldier saw He Wei He came over with a knife in hand and hurriedly retreated.

"Fuck you."

He Wei stepped forward in three steps and then slashed at the neck of the Japanese soldier with his knife. He raised the knife and dropped it. A bloody human head flew out like a ball, hit the cliff of the trench and bounced away.

Suddenly there was the sound of dense footsteps in front of He Wei. When the visitor walked in, He Wei saw clearly that it was Hu Zhaowu, the commander of the second platoon of the infantry. Hu Zhaowu ran panting with a submachine gun, and he was even more surprised by the scene in front of him. He Wei was holding a bloody Japanese saber. His uniform was covered in blood. The corpses of two Chinese soldiers and six Japanese soldiers were lying in the trench, and guns were scattered all over the ground. "Platoon Commander He, what is going on?"

He Wei threw the saber aside, smiled bitterly, and said to Hu Zhaowu: "Old Hu, you should take good care of the soldiers in your platoon. If these three guys don't keep watch when they are standing guard, they will smoke and chat together. I was caught in the act. When I was about to go up and deal with these guys, the Japs came up. You all saw it. I took care of all six Japs soldiers. Unfortunately, only one of the three soldiers in your platoon was saved. .”

At this time, the only surviving soldier also got out of the hidden part of the longitudinal firing equipment, still holding He Wei's submachine gun in his hand. Seeing that his platoon leader Hu Zhaowu was also there, the soldier lowered his head in shame. , Hu Zhaowu glared at the soldier fiercely and yelled: "Fuck you, go back to your squad."

Hu Zhaowu looked at He Wei with some shame: "Platoon Commander He, I'm sorry, but fortunately you took action in time, otherwise this position..."

"Okay, don't say these useless things. You quickly send people to all the positions to pass orders, saying that everything is fine now. It's just that a few Japanese soldiers have rushed in. They have all been dealt with. Let everyone in the position strengthen Be on guard, all the soldiers in the concealment department come out and guard the position for me. The Japanese cannot go crazy and send six Japanese soldiers to sneak attack. There must be a large Japanese army in front of the position."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At the same time, Harada Jiro, who was lying prone in front of the Sixth Company's position, sighed softly. Although there was a lot of noise and a certain amount of chaos in the Chinese army position opposite, it suddenly exploded and then stopped. The cessation of gunfire had already explained the outcome of the six-man assault force he sent out. Although he had been mentally prepared for it, as a staff officer, he should be accustomed to paying the necessary price for this kind of feint test, but seeing the six soldiers Jiro Harada still had a lot of emotions in his heart when his jade was broken because of his own order.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Next to Harada Jiro, a slightly immature lieutenant staff crawled over and said softly.

"Let the wing artillery fire, you go and notify the infantry squadron in front. After the wing artillery fire, they will also open fire immediately. Rifles, light machine guns, grenade launchers, concentrate all their forces and weapons to shoot at the enemy positions. Just be careful. , the infantry must not launch an attack, and there is no need to pay attention to accuracy when shooting various firearms. Just create intensive attack firepower. We are feigning an attack, not a real attack. We must not let the precious infantry launch an attack. "

"Yes."

The lieutenant staff member crept forward to deliver the order. Not far from Jiro Harada, a regiment gun was placed in a temporary artillery firing position. This was a Type [-] mountain gun. The Japanese army first used it as a division-level gun. Support artillery. After the newer Type [-] mountain gun was developed and equipped with troops, the Type [-] mountain gun was gradually distributed to the wing artillery squadron directly under the Japanese infantry wing. Therefore, this kind of artillery was also called the wing. gun.

The Type 20 mountain gun has a history of [-] years since its development and design. In terms of combat performance, this type of artillery is not advanced, but it is lightweight and durable. Therefore, it has a large number of possessions among the Japanese army, and Japan is a In poor countries, many artillery squadrons directly under the infantry regiments of the Japanese army do not even have the use of this Type [-] mountain cannon. They are still equipped with the Type [-] mountain cannon from the Russo-Japanese War (that thing is an old-fashioned retractable cannon. Historically, the Japanese army used it when attacking Nanjing. In some divisions, the artillery wing of the division even replaced the latest Type [-] mountain artillery, while the artillery squadron of the infantry wing still used the Japanese artillery. The strange situation of the Sanyi rapid-fire gun during the Russian War)

Therefore, this kind of artillery is the well-deserved main artillery of the Japanese army.

The wing gunner from the dike detachment completed the reloading operation smoothly, and the aiming hand constantly adjusted the height of the machine and the pitch hand wheel. At such a close distance, what was actually being carried out was level shooting. Due to the darkness, the visibility was not enough. , the gunners operating the artillery couldn't see clearly the location of the sixth company's bunker and firepower position on the opposite side, and could only use the moonlight to take rough aim. However, their target was not the sixth company's bunker, but He Wei and several others just now. A sneak attack on the location where the Japanese troops were fighting.

Only there was a brief fierce battle and a brief muzzle flash, so it became the best target.

Boom - The Japanese gunner pulled the match rope, and a ball of flame burst out from the muzzle of the Type 75 mountain gun. A [-]mm grenade flew out of the barrel and exploded on the sixth company's position with a bang.

After this sound of artillery, what followed were six Type [-] grenade launchers in the hands of the infantry in front. The six Type [-] [-]mm grenade launchers lined up in a row and fired at the Sixth Company's position. six fifty-millimeter grenades.

boom boom boom

The sound of explosions one after another has not stopped yet, the Type 11 in the hands of the Japanese infantry rang, and then the [-]-year-old light machine gun also rang. The light weapons in the hands of these infantry had no shooting rhythm at all, and they fired at the Sixth Company at almost the maximum speed. Before setting off, Harada Jiro specially distributed a large number of tracer bullets to the attacking infantry.

The scene formed by a squadron using tracer bullets to concentrate firepower is very spectacular. The front half of the warhead of these tracer bullets is usually a steel core or a lead core. The back half of the warhead has a cavity. In the cavity, there is a metal blind tube with an opening at one end.This metal blind tube is called a tracer tube. Its opening faces the tail of the warhead, and it is filled with tracer. It is fixed in the cavity at the tail of the warhead by a metal pressure ring, and then the tail of the warhead is rolled inward. , press the pressure ring and it will not come out. After the bullet flies out of the barrel, the gunpowder gas will ignite the tracer in the bullet. In this way, the flying warhead will glow red or green, in the dark night , extremely obvious.

bang bang bang
da da da da

boom

The red and green tracer ballistics rushed towards the Sixth Company's position. The Type [-] Mountain Cannon also fired to assist, constantly adjusting its aim and firing hard at the Sixth Company's position at an extremely fast rate of fire.
