Three ZB37 heavy machine guns and four 20-year-old 82 mortars fired at the Japanese trenches 50 meters away, and the rifle machine guns, grenadiers, and grenades in the hands of the officers and men of the 13th Squadron converged into a powerful firepower and projected into the Japanese battle line.
The Japanese army's unilateral fire attack on the assault force has become a thing of the past, because the distance is very close, the firepower of the officers and men of the 13th Squadron is strong, and the Japanese troops in the trenches on the Luotang Heights have increased sharply in pressure and casualties, and in the impact, the Japanese army's firepower has the advantage, and now the assault troops have stopped, and in the course of the shooting, the firepower of the officers and men of the 13th Squadron and the Japanese army can fight back and forth.
Among the dense 79 rounds of machine ammunition, 82 mortar shells and grenades smashed into the Japanese trenches at high speed.
The heavy machine gun shooters who opened the ZB37 did not spare the bullets at all, and kept holding on to the trigger, and suppressed the shooting, the heavy machine guns with a high rate of fire flew the dust near the Japanese trenches, and the ballistic advantages of the grenadiers and grenades were revealed in the mountain attack warfare, and the curved trajectory of the projectiles could be used to shoot shells or grenades into the Japanese trenches from time to time, as long as they entered the trenches, the nearby Japanese defenders were either killed or wounded.
According to the establishment of the national army, this was the artillery equipment of an entire mortar company bombarding the Japanese trenches, and the first round of four 82 mortar shells fired did not hit crookedly, but directly hit the trench of a Japanese infantry detachment, knocked out an 11-year-old light machine gun, shrapnel from four mortar shells, and killed most of the soldiers in the Japanese infantry detachment in the narrow trench.
In the narrow trench, the shrapnel of the mortar flew everywhere, and there was a scream from inside, and the Japanese troops in the trench were no longer safe and sound, desperately returning fire under the suppression of light and heavy machine guns and platoon guns.
In terms of terrain, the Japanese troops on the main defensive line of the Luotang Heights had a certain advantage over the teaching brigade of the feint attack, and they had a somewhat condescending posture, and the Japanese army could have taken advantage of the terrain to throw grenades at the assault troops and attack with a large number of grenades "Open" the rear of the assault troops, Dong Erli's order to open fire sounded again.
Dong Erli didn't care about shells at all, and the four 82 mortars fired rapidly.
On the Japanese defensive line in front of the high ground, artillery fire was continuous, and the spirit of the officers and men of the assault troops, who had just been shooting with strong firepower, were now suppressed by the firepower of the assault troops.
The officers and men of the assault unit fell on the high ground, changing from the state of charging to the state of firing at each other, and the casualties also plummeted, and the current situation was that of pure firepower fire within 50 meters, Zhang Wei and the soldiers fired at the Japanese army on the high ground, observing the Japanese battle line in front, the distance was close, the Japanese defense line was almost clearly visible, and under the smoke screen of mortar shells and grenades, the Japanese trenches and hidden civil engineering fortification fire points were unobstructed.
The Japanese army was also in a hurry, and no longer concealed, and the trench defense line in front of the Luotang Heights, as well as the concealed civil fortifications, were all firing and firing.
The assault troops' mortars, heavy machine guns, and two kinds of heavy support firearms were struck in the face of the Japanese troops, and the Japanese army's numerous light machine guns were simply hit by the assault troops' guns and shells.
"Tom tom" The guns and bullets on both sides were intertwined with each other, and the Japanese troops on the front, Zhang Wei was not too worried, and their lethality had been greatly reduced, and the first squadron was now not in pieces, and the situation of several people killed at a time appeared, basically all of them were sporadic casualties, and the situation of throwing grenades to kill and wound them at once was only accidental.
It's just that the third squadron on his right side suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the saddle were firing from the side, and Zheng Yiqun's soldiers were all bullets from 92 heavy machine guns and 11-year-old light machine guns above their heads, and people were constantly knocked down, and the casualties were not small.
The fortifications there were very perfect, hidden, and sturdy, so Zhang Wei waited for the engineer platoon and the battle defense artillery squad to deal with them, first knocking out the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the saddle, extinguishing the Japanese army's saddle side fire, and then attacking the main high ground in one fell swoop, while the engineer platoon and the battle defense artillery squad were also rapidly approaching.
Feeling the soft and hot soil with his chest and abdomen, Zhang Wei turned his head: "Qiu Wei, let the brothers stabilize, send someone to tell the third squadron, hold on for a while, and wait for the engineer platoon to open fire."
"Yes" Qiu Wei sent soldiers from the 1st Squadron Headquarters to give the 3rd Squadron an order, and the officers and men of the assault force crawling on the high ground calmly and calmly shot at the Japanese army and attacked "Spread out, cover the artillery" In the saddle, He Jinhai led the engineer platoon and the battle defense artillery squad to the position 50 meters away from the saddle, He Jinhai commanded the breakthrough perfectly, but the Japanese troops in the saddle were not stupid, when strafing the 13th squadron, they divided several 11-year-old light machine guns, attacked He Jinhai ordered the infantry of the engineer platoon to disperse, and the soldiers carried blasting canisters on their backs, crawling forward to avoid bullets.
The Japanese machine guns fired very fiercely, but they did not cause much casualties to the soldiers of the engineer platoon, and the veterans flexibly crawled to avoid bullets, sometimes finding the opportunity to return fire, and fired a few grenades at the saddle machine gun positions of the Japanese army, protecting themselves to the greatest extent.
The Japanese troops in the saddle machine gun position were mainly constructed of logs, with sandbags, logs, sand, and vegetation attached to them.
And let the sappers closely build fortifications that have been fortified, grenadiers and grenades, and even mortar shells, which are not very effective, and are arranged with 92 heavy machine guns and 11-year light machine guns.
After seeing the battle defense artillery, the Japanese troops inside were like blowing up the nest, playing with life-threatening fire, but the attacking engineer platoon was elite and few people, even if it concentrated all the machine gun fire attack, it could not hinder the advance of the engineer platoon and the battle defense gun to the saddle machine gun position.
In the center of the team, 12 anti-aircraft artillerymen, pushing the cannon behind the 37 anti-aircraft guns, the artillery anti-shield is full of bullet marks from the Japanese machine gun shells, the bullets are loaded on the artillery anti-shield, making a crisp and distorted sound, the shield of the German-made anti-aircraft artillery is very solid, providing good protection for the anti-aircraft artillery who follow the artillery.
"Sir, it's alright."
The squad leader of the 37th Battle Anti-Artillery Squad shouted at He Jinhai, who was crawling forward.
He Jinhai responded: "Okay, stop moving forward, call me" No more, no less, the team attacking the saddle stopped at a distance of 50 meters, and the soldiers of the engineer platoon opened fire one after another, using rifle machine guns and grenades to block the Japanese fire point in the saddle, and the 37 battle anti-aircraft gun in the center of the line aimed the barrel directly at the saddle fire point.
"Quick, reload, fire" The squad leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squad hurriedly ordered.
At such a close distance, there was no need to aim carefully at all, and the gunners skillfully aimed the body of the 37 anti-aircraft gun at the Japanese army, adjusted, fixed the artillery tripod, latched the artillery, loaded a 37 grenade, closed the bolt, aimed, and in less than a minute, the artillery was quickly prepared to shoot.
"Reloaded," shouted the gunner.
The squad leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squad stepped forward and quickly checked the artillery sights, and after confirming that it was correct, he shouted the order to fire.
"Open" The gunners pulled the firing leash, and a three-seven grenade ejected from the bore, firing at the Japanese machine-gun position in the saddle ：。
