I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 781 How come the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy machine guns? Don’t they consider the logistical pressure?
This is the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment.

Gao Yuanzhi moved the remaining 20 or so mountain cannons to the second position and quickly began shelling.

One shot is three rapid shots.

Dozens of artillery shells flew out, making the Japanese artillerymen cry for their parents.

The Japanese couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army's artillery was so powerful!
Are they all iron men who won’t be hurt by shrapnel?
But even if they are iron men, the shock wave of the shells will always injure them, right?
Even the Japanese artillery regiment commanders were already suspecting that their own observers had betrayed them and that the parameters they reported to their side were all wrong.

Thinking of this, they ordered their artillery to move and sent out another wave of observers to climb to the top of the surrounding hills to replace the previous ones.

But in this way, their counterattack firepower would become weaker in a short period of time.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Thinking that the Japanese artillery had been almost destroyed, he immediately ordered the soldiers to fire more.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
However, not long after, an observer sent a signal to tell him that the Japanese artillery was just moving.

It made him very disappointed.

As the tank company of the special forces regiment retreated, the three 105mm cannons of the Japanese were left vacant.

Joined in the bombardment of them.

The power of these three cannons is enormous.

With one shot, gravel and shrapnel flew everywhere within a radius of dozens of meters around the impact point, sweeping away everything.

The explosion shock wave is extremely powerful!
Even the artillerymen of the special forces regiment would never appear on the battlefield unless necessary, but would hide in anti-artillery holes most of the time.

But people continued to be killed or injured by the earthquake.

If Gao Yuanzhi had not deliberately set the distance between each gun by hundreds of meters when setting up this artillery position.

It is possible that all of their 20-plus cannons would be destroyed in less than half an hour.

At this time, he missed his four 4mm howitzers very much.

If these four guns were still there, he would never allow the Japanese to be so rampant!

……

Just as Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion continued to fight with the Japanese artillery, the 215st Battalion of the Special Service Regiment ambushed in Yangtou Mountain had already encountered the Japanese th Regiment.

Led by the regiment commander Colonel Harada Higashi, they carried no artillery but only light weapons such as light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and Type 38 rifles. They crossed mountains and rivers and headed straight for Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion position.

Try to destroy their artillery as quickly as possible.

On the hillside, Xu Wei saw that about 3,000 Japanese soldiers had all entered his ambush circle, and immediately ordered:

"Fire at full force! Hit hard!"

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the first battalion opened fire at full force.

Dozens of MG-42 general-purpose machine guns began to sing happily.

"Zizzizi...zizizi..."

The heavy machine guns equipped by their battalion were Type 42. After they met up with Yang Yuanshan this time, Yang Yuanshan took out dozens of MG-s and asked them to get rid of those bulky and broken guns.

At this moment, the heavy machine gunners of the 1st Battalion discovered that this new heavy machine gun was not only extremely light, but its firepower sustainability and reliability were also much stronger than the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

Suddenly everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They held the trigger and refused to let go. The bullets in the belt were consumed quickly.

In addition to the heavy machine guns, the 12 Type infantry guns equipped by the first battalion also began a frenzied bombardment.

At first sight, many Japanese soldiers carrying heavy machine guns were knocked to the ground.

As for the grenade launchers, light machine guns, Type 38 rifles and other weapons in the soldiers' hands, they were certainly not idle either. They all fired wildly at the Japanese devils.

In an instant, shells and bullets covered the sky like locusts!
……

Encountering such a fierce ambush during the march, the commander of the Japanese 215th Regiment, Harada Higashi, became furious on the spot.

Immediately shouted:

"Enemy attack! Get down!

Fight back! Quickly!"

Then he took the lead and found a big rock to hide behind.

Then he called two messengers and asked them to run back to report to the division commander Shoji Sakurai that his 215th Regiment had been ambushed in the ravine of Yangtou Mountain and requested artillery support.

——In order to march quickly, he didn’t even bring a radio!

He estimated that it was only a few kilometers away and there was no need for that!
Who would have thought that I would be beaten so badly by the enemy as soon as we met!
I really regret it.

At this time, his wing chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Masao Nonaka, approached him with an angry look on his face and shouted:

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has strong firepower, but they are not numerous.

I suggest that we should immediately disperse our charge and fight our way up the hill with all our might.

The east slope is slightly gentler, suitable for climbing!
We have more people, and no matter how strong the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is, we may still have a chance! " "Yoshi!
Quickly, order the third battalion to provide cover, while the first and second battalions charge up the eastern hillside!"

Harada Higashi was quite willing to accept the suggestion of his subordinates and immediately agreed to make the arrangement.

Following his order, the Japanese soldiers immediately divided into two groups. Under the leadership of their respective captains, some provided cover while others charged forward.

There wasn't much panic.

They were all elite soldiers who had fought for a long time. Although they were ambushed and a little dizzy, they did not completely lose their combat effectiveness.

However, the firepower of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment was too fierce, and they had the advantage of terrain. Although they shouted "load on board" and were fearless of death, ten minutes later, their charge progress was still unable to satisfy Harada Higashi.

He couldn't help but ask Masao Nonaka again:

"Mr. Nonaka, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong. The warriors' attack has been thwarted. What should we do?"

Nonaka Masao thought to himself: In a war, the first thing to consider is morale and courage, the second is firepower, the third is marksmanship, and the fourth is terrain.

Now, except for our better marksmanship than the enemy, we are at a disadvantage in all other aspects.

What else can we do except fight hard and show our fighting spirit?
But he had to respond to the captain's words, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"The firepower of the Tubalu is so fierce that it will consume a lot of ammunition.

We have more people, so we just need to hold on and wait until the Eighth Route Army runs out of ammunition.

Victory is ours.”

After hearing what he said, Harada Touya could only sigh and continue to observe the battle situation.

……

On the hillside, Xu Wei lay in the grass, frowning as he watched the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain rushing up the hillside frantically.

The order Yang Yuanshan gave him was to quickly eliminate this group of Japanese devils, but now it depends on the situation.

The enemy is not only very tenacious, but also has extremely accurate shooting skills.

They keep causing casualties to themselves. If they continue like this, I'm afraid it will turn into a brutal war of attrition.

This is not what he wants!

The instructor of the first battalion, Zhao Shihong, also noticed this problem and immediately crawled over and asked Xu Wei:
"Old Xu, although these little devils don't have any heavy weapons, they are really tough to deal with.

This shooting skill is incredibly accurate!

As soon as the soldiers showed their heads, they would be shot.

Should we send a message to the regiment commander and ask him to send some support?"

Before Xu Wei could answer, a sentry rushed over and shouted:
"Battalion Commander, comrades from the artillery battalion are here to help."

As he pointed, Xu Wei saw Shao Gang, deputy company commander of the fourth company of the artillery battalion, rushing over from the north with more than a hundred people, carrying more than twenty heavy machine guns and ammunition boxes.

They quickly found a hillside about six or seven hundred meters away and began to set up heavy machine guns and open fire.

"Da da da... da da da..."

The cheerful roar of the Ning-made Type 24-79 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun made the Japanese soldiers unable to raise their heads.

The Japanese regiment commander, Harada Higashi, saw that the enemy had so many heavy machine guns coming, and he could not help but roar in frustration:

"Baga! How come the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy machine guns?

More equipment than my locust army!
How do they solve the problem of bullet supply?"

When it comes to heavy machine guns, you can never equip as many as you want.

The logistical supply capabilities of a unit must be considered. Once a unit is equipped with too many heavy machine guns, the bullets will not be available.

Then these guns will become decorations.

No matter how hard Harada Azuma tried, he couldn't figure out how there could be such a magical plug-in as System Warehouse in the world.

It allows each battalion of the special forces regiment to not have to worry about any logistical supply capabilities at all.

After each battle, you can pick up more bullets to replenish your consumption. It is simply magical.

Seeing Harada Higashi's panicked face, Nonaka Masao asked quickly:

"Your Excellency, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong. Should we turn to Zhengtai Road first?
As long as we get close to Zhengtai Road, we can get support from the division headquarters!"

"Do not!

The Eighth Route Army has caused such heavy casualties to my 215th Regiment, I cannot let them go.

Order the warriors to hold on with all their might!

Your Excellency the division commander's artillery support will surely arrive soon!
As long as we have artillery support and blow up the Tubalu's artillery and heavy machine guns, these Tubalu with only a thousand men are nothing to be afraid of! "

Harada Higashi was determined, as if he was not the one who was almost scared to pee his pants.
