I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 887: Machine Guns Brutally Beat the Japs

At the foot of Xigang Mountain.

When the commander of the Japanese 214th Regiment, Akita Qiaoyi, heard the order brought back by the messenger, he was filled with despair.

This is fucking asking him to die!
He completely forgot that this was what he had asked Shinoda Ikki of the artillery squadron to do.

But no matter how desperate he was, he could only follow Murata Takasaki's order: "Even if we all have to die, we must take the hill."

On the battlefield, charging forward may result in death.

But if you disobey orders, you will die immediately!

Therefore, after hearing the order, he only stood there for three minutes, then he pulled himself together and shouted to the last few hundred soldiers around him:

"Warriors, those damned rats thought they could discourage our courage by using artillery fire!

You say, is it possible? "

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

The Japanese soldiers roared in unison.

Today's battle was so frustrating that all of them were filled with anger.

At this moment, being encouraged by Akita Qiaoyi, he naturally got excited.

Looking at the performance of his soldiers, Akita Qiaoyi relaxed his brows slightly, vaguely feeling that victory might not be impossible.

He quickly drew out the command knife from his waist, slashed forward fiercely, and shouted:
"Yoshi! You are all warriors of the empire!
Now I order everyone to charge and destroy the Eighth Route Army!

It's a black card! Onboard! "

After roaring, he took the lead and rushed towards Xigang Mountain.

When the Japanese soldiers saw that he was the regiment commander, they did not avoid the hail of bullets but just charged forward, and their morale was immediately boosted.

He immediately disregarded his own life and death and followed him, roaring like a wild beast and running forward.

The Japanese soldiers who had been pinned to the ground by the bullets of the first battalion of soldiers, seeing that the people behind them were standing and rushing towards them, immediately plucked up their courage, jumped up from the ground, and rushed forward with their Type 38 rifles in hand.

He no longer cared whether his comrades around him were being blown to pieces by shells and bullets.

……

As the Japanese fought so desperately, the soldiers in the battalion on the hillside felt the pressure.

No matter how powerful their firepower is, they can't withstand the Japanese's large numbers!

You kill one, and the three behind him will continue to rush forward.

Moreover, many of the Japanese soldiers were very skilled in shooting. When they charged to a position of four or five hundred meters, they started shooting, often hitting one of our soldiers with one shot.

Those machine gunners who were firing frantically began to suffer casualties.

Seeing this, Xu Wei, who was in command, shouted anxiously:

"Don't show your head, the Japanese can't rush over!"

"Bully them with firepower!"

"Recoilless gun, turn the muzzle and bombard the Japanese infantry with all your might!"

……

On the hillside behind the 1st Battalion's position, Han Yang saw the battle situation and couldn't help but sigh in admiration:

"Captain, it looks like the Japanese are getting angry!

We must seize our hilltop at all costs."

“Well, of course.

The south of Qubei County is flat and this place is considered a commanding height.

If they don’t take this place, they will continue to be bombarded by us as they enter the city, which we cannot tolerate.”

Yang Yuanshan answered while looking into the distance through a telescope.

"Captain, I think the first battalion is having a hard time right now, do you want to send them some reinforcements?
The Third Battalion is now idle outside the South Gate, so let their artillery company open fire and provide long-range support!"

"No need.

Now they have an infantry battalion and an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, a total of three thousand people!
They have the advantage of terrain, and if they still can't hold out against two or three thousand Japanese soldiers whose firepower is inferior to theirs, then Xu Wei and Guo Youqing, the battalion commanders, can quit their jobs!
And I guess the Japanese will have reinforcements coming soon, and then it will be time to launch a full attack on them." Yang Yuanshan replied coldly.

He thought to himself: The Japs are a division, I must not play all my cards!
After hearing what he said, Han Yang also nodded.

Then he called a messenger and gave the order:
"Go and order Guo Youqing to organize all his idle ammunition handlers and use their machine guns to assist the First Battalion!"

The Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion now has only 18 machine guns, but it has 1500 personnel, which is quite sufficient.

Now, except for a small number of gunners and ammunition handlers who are busy, most of these people can only act as reserve ammunition handlers and reserve gunners, which is very wasteful.

That's why Han Yang gave such an order.

Hearing his order, the communicator immediately responded and then rushed to the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion.

Yang Yuanshan heard his order but did not stop him.

He knew that as the old battalion commander of the first battalion, he was heartbroken about the loss of the first battalion!
……

Over there at the position of the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion.

Previously, they had suffered a surprise attack from the Japanese with 10 Type infantry guns, losing a machine gun and a dozen soldiers. Guo Youqing was originally planning to order the remaining artillery to move.

But when he saw the artillery company of the first battalion took action to help them catch the artillery fire, he gave up the idea and ordered the soldiers to continue firing at the Japanese infantry crawling towards them at the foot of the mountain.

He played all the drums madly.

The hot shell casings soon filled the position.

However, they only had a dozen machine guns, and when the Japanese began to charge desperately, they felt somewhat helpless.

There are too many Japanese devils!
The front string was broken into two parts, but the ones behind were still rushing forward.

And they were not stupid. Seeing that the machine guns of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion were powerful, they all dispersed and charged forward, preventing their artillery shells from exerting their maximum power.

Just when Guo Youqing felt sweat on his forehead and seemed unable to stop the Japanese, the messenger sent by Han Yang ran over and conveyed Han Yang's order.

Guo Youqing slapped his forehead immediately, feeling that he was really stupid.

There are actually hundreds of people just sitting there doing nothing.

He immediately received the order and then assigned the third company commander Tang Ping:
"Tang Ping, pick a few dozen comrades with good marksmanship from our ammunition supplies, go to the front 20 meters, and use our machine guns to fire at the Japanese!
Hit him hard! "

"Yes!"

Tang Ping was a short and strong man. When he heard his order, he immediately agreed and ran to gather people.

……

Soon, he brought more than a hundred ammunition handlers, carrying more than thirty MG-42 general-purpose machine guns and Type machine guns that Yang Yuanshan specially equipped them with for self-defense, and carrying a large number of ammunition boxes, and came to the front of the artillery position.

Then they set up all the machine guns and started spewing flames at the Japanese.

The Japanese did not expect that our army had so many machine guns, and their originally violent charge momentum was immediately interrupted.

Row after row of Japanese soldiers were mowed down like wheat.

The captain of the detachment, Akita Qiaoyi, could not help but exclaimed:
“Bagya Road!
How come the Tubalu had so many light and heavy machine guns???

How many mules and horses do they need to transport the bullets???"

He had no idea that the Special Forces Regiment did not need a powerful logistical transport force at all.

As long as Yang Yuanshan is there, the soldiers can be replenished with bullets and artillery shells in minutes!
For example, just now, while the soldiers were busy fighting the Japanese, Yang Yuanshan quietly threw out a large number of 7.92mm bullets from his system warehouse, scattering them in the pits on the hillside, waiting for the soldiers of the special forces regiment to discover them!
……

As soon as the more than 30 machine guns of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion started to fire, the First Battalion felt the pressure greatly reduced.

The soldiers of the first battalion fired their guns while chanting excitedly:

"Little devils, charge up again, Grandpa's bullets are waiting for you!"

Battalion Commander Xu Wei also reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I thought: That was a close call! If the devils had gone a little crazier, it would have been bad.

Just now, he almost thought of sending his entire guard company up.
