Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 114 This fire suppression is so refreshing!

at the same time.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Cheng Shifa also commanded the third battalion of the 772nd Regiment and began to attack the Japanese firepower point on the left wing.

The 772nd Regiment is the main force of the 129th Division. Although the individual combat effectiveness of its soldiers is somewhat inferior to that of the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the -mile Long March.

But it is still the main force regiment after all, with strong individual quality, and can be regarded as first-class elite.

Seeing Li Yunlong leading the charge with a submachine gun in his arms, Cheng Shifa also pulled his general's cap.

He took the Czech light machine gun from a machine gunner next to him and hung it on his chest to use as a submachine gun.

"Da da da…"

After firing a burst of bullets at the enemy's machine gun position on the commanding heights, Cheng Shifa shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Under the command of Cheng Shifa, the main soldiers of the 772nd Regiment attacked the Japanese machine gun positions on the commanding heights in wave after wave.

"Da da da…"

Suddenly, at the commanding heights on the left wing, the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun opened fire.

In an instant, three soldiers in the front row of the 772nd Regiment were shot in the chest and fell in a pool of blood.

Although the artillery platoon of the New 60st Regiment covered the enemy's commanding heights with artillery fire and the rapid fire continued, the power of the mm mortar shells was still a little lacking. However, the mortar shells at least killed half of the enemy machine gunners and machine gun positions.

The remaining Japanese machine gunners fired at the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment amidst the deafening roar and high-speed flying shrapnel.

One Japanese machine gunner fell, and another one quickly took over, wielding the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 99 light machine gun, firing barrages of bullets at him.

Moreover, the Japanese left wing machine gun commanding heights, the Japanese middle wing machine gun positions and armored vehicle firepower, and the right wing machine gun position commanding heights.

The three Japanese machine gun positions supported each other, forming cross fire, which caused great trouble to the 686th Regiment's attack.

This time, even with the additional artillery support, the Japanese machine gunners and riflemen fought with all their might.

suddenly.

Cheng Shifa, who was leading the soldiers to attack, heard a violent tearing sound in his ears, like tearing cloth, but the sound was much louder than tearing cloth.

A string of bullets visible to the naked eye in the air suddenly shot towards a Japanese machine gun fire point, causing the flames of a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun that was firing to pause.

A series of tearing sounds were heard, almost connected into a string, and a series of streams of light shot towards the Japanese heavy machine gun fire point.

The sudden and fierce firepower caused mud and mist to splash from the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, and suppressed the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns to remain silent.

"what's the situation?"

Cheng Shifa was suddenly startled.

He looked in the direction of the light's source and saw a machine gun team from the New 1st Regiment setting up a general-purpose machine gun behind the charging infantry, firing fiercely at the enemy's heavy machine gun fire points.

Before the attack began, when the soldiers were checking their weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong took a look at the four Czech light machine guns and two Min-772 heavy machine guns of the 3rd Battalion of the 4nd Regiment. He said with a look of disdain, "Blind Cheng, you are at least the commander of a main force regiment. How come you are doing so poorly? I will transfer four general-purpose machine guns to you to support your regiment's attack."

Cheng Shifa said, "Thank you very much."

He knew that Li Yunlong was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although they had a difficult relationship, Li Yunlong would definitely help the 772nd Regiment without hesitation when it was in trouble. Before the attack, Cheng Shifa only glanced at Li Yunlong's four general-purpose machine gun teams and didn't pay much attention to them. He only ordered them to cover the infantry attack.

In Cheng Shifa's eyes, machine guns are divided into two types: light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

The general-purpose machine gun equipped by Li Yunlong's machine gun team looks like neither a light machine gun nor a heavy machine gun. It is simply a hodgepodge. What role can it play?
At present, almost all the main regiments of the Eighth Route Army are equipped with Czech-type and Min-24 heavy machine guns.

The Czech light machine gun and the Type 24 heavy machine gun both use the same Mauser pointed bullets, but the effective range of the former is only about meters, while the latter can reach meters.

The Czech light machine gun has good mobility, but poor range and firepower sustainability, and slightly lower accuracy. During the attack, one must always be on guard against the Japanese machine gun suppression, as well as the Japanese grenade launchers, mortars and even infantry guns that can hit wherever they point. In addition, it is fed by a 20-round magazine, and it is necessary to change positions and replace magazines frequently, making it difficult to suppress the Japanese machine gun firepower points.

The Min-24 heavy machine gun had good sustained firing performance, and its tripod made the trajectory stable and had a long range. However, it was heavy and had poor maneuverability, making it an easy target for the Japanese grenade launchers and artillery.

Therefore, during this charge, Cheng Shifa never thought about the suppression that the machine gun firepower could exert on the Japanese machine gun firepower points.

Continuous suppression by artillery fire is sufficient.

As long as we can capture the Japanese machine gun position on the left wing of Hufeng Village and kill Kawagishi Fumisaburo, it will be worth it even if the troops suffer heavy casualties!
“This firepower…”

Cheng Shifa leaned against a bunker, and while changing the magazine, he watched the general-purpose machine gun team continue firing, with horror in his eyes.

He was absolutely certain that the machine gunner was using burst fire, but the burst fire actually had the effect of continuous fire.

After looking at the other person's machine gun and then at the brand new Czech machine gun on his chest that he had just received from headquarters yesterday morning, Captain Cheng suddenly felt that the Czech machine gun was not so attractive.

Cheng Shifa is also an expert in using the Czech rifle. The maximum firing rate of the Czech rifle is 500 rounds per minute, with a burst of about three rounds. When the battle is fierce, the maximum firing rate is only about 100 rounds per minute, and the magazine feed limits the upper limit of the firing rate.

In an offensive engagement like today, the Czech machine gun not only had to frequently change magazines, but also had to change positions at all times, and those who could fire two magazines per minute, or 2 rounds per minute, were considered elite marksmen.

The machine gun team also had to change positions, but with almost the same pause and firing time, the enemy's machine gun firepower was incredibly strong.

Just pull the trigger and more than a dozen bullets will be fired, with shorter shooting intervals, a larger bullet coverage area, and a rain of bullets that is more difficult to avoid.

At the same time, the other three machine gun teams of the New 3st Regiment quickly set up machine gun fire points and opened fire at the Japanese machine gun fire positions.

The sound of the cloth shredder firing echoed throughout the entire offensive area.

5门M2型60毫米迫击炮的炮火覆盖，以及4挺MG42的持续射击，将鬼子制高点处的鬼子机枪手压得几乎抬不起头来。

As soon as he looked up, he was met with a hail of bullets.

Even if the Japanese machine gunners fired in the hail of bullets, they would soon be surrounded by the hail of bullets, shot into sieves, or hit by mortar shells.

"Damn it!"

"This fire suppression is so refreshing!"

Cheng Shifa loudly issued an order:
"Charge at full speed!"

"kill!"

The soldiers who were in a crawling posture jumped up from the ground, and with overwhelming shouts of killing, under the strong and persistent fire suppression, they rushed to the machine gun position on the left wing of the Japanese army like a tide.
