Facing the onslaught of artillery fire and holding on to the bayonet is the best portrayal of the officers and men of the teaching brigade now.
On the south side of the wide Jieshou Heights, the entire strength of the Teaching Brigade rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters in the face of the fierce fire of the Japanese mountain artillery, rapid-fire guns, and rifle machine gun grenadiers, and the charging pace of the brothers of the Teaching Brigade had gradually slowed down, and the three infantry squadrons did not form a dense formation, but spread out as much as possible, listing a very standard straggler attack formation.
The various combat groups, the individual combat squad platoons and the various squadrons maintained a considerable distance.
However, this was a hard-fought battle, directly impacting the enemy's position, and the Japanese troops guarding the position on the south side of the boundary head also knew the urgency of the situation, and their combat effectiveness was forced to maximize their combat effectiveness.
The Japanese army's excessively heavy firepower, even if it was dispersed, no matter how well the troops played, the casualties and losses could not be small, and the Japanese army finally delayed the impact of the teaching brigade at this distance, and the infantry brothers of the teaching brigade continued to attack with difficulty and perseverance with a slowed speed.
With every step forward, a brother fell to the ground and was wounded, while a soldier who was not shot would only step over the corpses and wounds of his comrades and charge forward.
The firepower of more than 210 Japanese troops can not be underestimated, Matsumoto will Kunlun Pass garrison half of the troops here, the two sides can be described as a strong duel, four or five 92 heavy machine guns and a large number of 11-year-old light machine guns, grenadiers, rifles, direct fire, in the cross trajectory, there are constantly the brothers of the teaching brigade are hit, the closer they rush, the greater the hit rate of the Japanese army and the casualties of the teaching brigade.
Under this kind of fierce firepower, the road to charge is becoming more and more difficult, without accompanying artillery fire, the infantry must shorten the distance between the enemy position as much as possible, exchange casualties for an effective breakthrough later, and the fire cover of heavy firearms is also advantageous.
Dense bullets pierced through the air and made a "whoosh" sound, and the ballistics of 7.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets and 65 caliber rifle machine gun bullets shuttled through the shock ranks of the teaching brigade, and muffled grunts and the sound of bullets penetrating flesh abounded.
Even so, even the brothers in the teaching brigade were still attacking with all their might, and the sound of shouting and killing never decreased.
"If you are hurt, don't move, stay where you are" In the sound of gunfire, Qiu Wei, the leader of the first squadron, held a shell gun, bent over and shouted, a large amount of smoke and dust, weapons and stumps flew in the air above the team, and the place where the shells landed seemed to have been drilled a hole, and the blood-colored dust could not be dispersed for a long time.
The smell of blood and gunpowder mixed together, making everyone feel sickened, and they were about to approach a distance of 100 meters, not to mention the severity of the battle.
At the beginning of the Japanese shelling, the 2nd Squadron pulled out the jackpot and received a 75-mm mountain shell, and now, the 1st Squadron, which was in the center of the three infantry squadrons, became the primary target of the Japanese army.
The moment Qiu Wei shouted, in the array of the first squadron, several soldiers were hit by bullets, and another 37 rapid-fire shell shot straight over, hitting the body of a private of the 1st squadron.
The 37 grenades of the Type 94 rapid-fire cannon burst on the spot, and the body of the second class of the 1st squadron of this fearless charge, the equipment on his body, and the bullet belt were also torn apart, and the bursting rapid-fire cannon shells shattered the soldiers' internal organs and flesh and blood all around, and the flesh and stumps were thrown into the sky and fell like rain, and many brothers in the 1st Squadron were stained with the flesh and blood of this brother.
The rapid-fire shell exploded in the soldier's body, making a slimy, muddy sound.
Wounded by shrapnel and not dead, the brothers who did not die lay on the ground and wailed, even the most heroic officers and soldiers could not quietly endure the severe pain of being hit by shrapnel, and shouting and howling were the best way to vent their pain.
Death and sacrifice are always going on.
During the shelling, Qiu Wei ordered the unwounded soldiers to continue to charge, and told the wounded soldiers on the ground to stay where they were and not move.
Zhang Wei rushed forward in the array of a squadron, the brothers around him kept falling, the pool of blood on the ground, the stumps and the wounded soldiers who were rolling and wailing, Zhang Wei just glanced at it, there was heartache, but there was no remorse, so he continued to hold the gun, the current casualties are the premise of breaking through the Japanese position, the blood that should be shed, always flow, and then move forward, the heavy firearms of the cover can be hit more accurately, at that time, the main force of the team can break through the Japanese position, as for the devils, wait to endure this period, have their own heavy fire squadron machine gun mortars and strengthen the attached battle defense artillery to clean up Zhang Wei stepped forward with his feet, passed the wounded brothers on the ground, and accelerated his charge.
"Bang Bang" On the Japanese position, the gunfire was loud, and all kinds of light and heavy firearms on the position were firing wildly, but the Japanese troops in the formation were not intact, and the Japanese troops in the position had been killed in a concentrated manner, and the officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade in the impact were used to shoot between the marches when they were charging, and the Japanese troops in the trenches had been killed and wounded by stray bullets, and the casualties of this kind of piecemeal were still increasing, and every half a minute or a minute, the Japanese troops in the position were hit by stray bullets.
Some veterans who teach the brigade to have rich combat experience are quite accurate in shooting while marching, and the distance between the two sides is only a hundred heads, and the veterans shoot while running, as long as there is not too much interference, they can often hit a Japanese soldier with two or three shots, and if they play well, they can also shoot at the position of the Japanese machine gunner.
Therefore, the life of the Japanese army is not easy.
In the command position, a Japanese soldier of the first class fell on the field telephone line, it was the herald of the commander of the captain, the steel helmet on his head was pierced by a 79 rifle bullet, and his brain was mixed with blood, and he was dripping to the ground.
"Request artillery support, request artillery support, use the mountain artillery of the southern position as the base gun, and bombard the enemy" The commander of the Japanese defenders on the south side of the boundary was anxious when he looked at the teaching brigade, which was about to rush to a distance of 100 meters, and the Chinese troops in front of the formation had already let the captain take a look at it at the beginning of the attack.
Later, the commander of the lieutenant saw that his artillery fire and rifle machine gun fire had killed and wounded these returning Chinese troops, and the enemy troops were not repulsed, but instead stubbornly endured casualties and losses, and under the impact of shells and bullets, they were about to rush into a hundred meters, and in the process of impact, they also shot with rifles and killed their own heralds The strong performance of the Chinese army made the captain, who was bent on holding his position, immediately ask the garrison for help.
The mountain artillery squadron under the Kunlun Pass garrison, except for one 41-type mountain artillery that was reinforced to the defender's position on the south side, the remaining three mountain guns were all deployed at the top of the high ground, and the Japanese captain commanding the position on the south side could directly contact the 41-type mountain artillery squadron on the top of the high ground through the field telephone.
"Fire" "Boom" Behind the south side of the Jieshou position, orange flames came out of the muzzle of a 41-type mountain gun, and the muzzle of the gun blew out gunpowder residue and air waves, emitting bursts of white smoke.
The artillery placed in the firing position was displaced backwards, the one-legged gun mount stared back at the dirt, the mottled gun shield of the artillery trembled greatly, and there were seven or eight dents on the gun shield from the bullet hit.
The bullet marks on these shields, as well as the body of a gunner who had been pierced through the chest two meters from the firing position, were all due to the bullets from which the brigade was instructed to shoot on the march.
This gun is a benchmark gun, the moment the gun is fired, the sandbags under the muzzle and the outer edge of the position, the air waves are dusty, the Japanese gunners pull the gun rope, and the infantry type 41 mountain gun fires a grenade of seven or five calibers.
The 75 howitzers fired by the base guns fell into the teaching brigade and exploded violently, and then the three 41-type 75 mountain guns on the top of the hill fired a salvo with the base guns next to the high ground on the south side, and the three shells followed the base guns closely, and the four guns deployed in different positions formed a small artillery group, which fired a squadron-level salvo at the teaching team.
The Type 94 rapid-fire gun, which was assigned to the Japanese troops on the south side, also opened fire, and fired a round of concentrated fire.
Another round of bombardment of the Qiwushan Artillery Grenade and the Sanqi Grenade behind the high ground on the south side was fired at a distance of about 100 meters, and at this distance, the firing accuracy of the Japanese artillery naturally went without saying, and the Japanese troops in the trenches were also very sensitive to the distance where the teaching brigade was now, and fired a salvo of grenadiers with the artillery bombardment.
The sharp sound of shells and grenades fired from the high ground tops and from the positions on the south side of the boundary head pierced through the air, from small to loud, vibrating the eardrums of every officer and soldier of the teaching brigade.
"Boom" The sound of the shells breaking through the air was extraordinarily long, and the 75 Mountain Artillery Squadron and the 94-Type rapid-fire guns, the grenadier salvo shells, and the grenades were thrown at an interval of more than ten seconds, and they suddenly covered the body of the teaching brigade At this time, the distance between the three infantry squadrons on the front line of the teaching brigade and the Japanese army was only 100 meters.
This combined bombardment of mountain artillery, rapid-fire guns and grenadiers forced the shock team of the teaching brigade to stop the onslaught on the Japanese positions, and the three infantry squadrons were all covered by the smoke from the Japanese artillery shells and grenades.
The assault team of the teaching brigade was hit by this blow and finally failed to continue to advance, and the Japanese army's round of artillery bombardment was too fierce, and after rushing into 100 meters, the hit rate of the Japanese rifle machine guns also increased in a straight line, and the officers and men of the brave teaching brigade could not withstand the blow, so they could only lie down, avoid bullets, and stop the impact in the Japanese shelling.
"Rough, platoon leader, stop for Lao Tzu" "No one is allowed to mess up" Zhang Wei, together with many soldiers, lay on the ground, gasping for breath, a burst of pain came from his left arm, a shrapnel cut Zhang Wei's left arm, opened a wound, blood slowly flowed out, and the dust in the air adhered to the wound, causing a lot of pain.
"Captain, how's it going?"
One of Zhang Wei's heralds, seeing that Zhang Wei was injured, hurriedly crawled over, Zhang Wei turned around when he heard the sound, only to see that his three heralds were still there, and no one was injured in such a fierce shelling.
"It's bitten, it's okay, you three quickly give orders to the first squadron leader and the brothers" Zhang Wei smiled at the herald who crawled in, ripped off the leggings, and tied them to the wound.
"Let the brothers of the first squadron steady, tell Squadron Leader Qiu, don't rush, stop, wait for the heavy firearms to cover, attack his position, and then go and notify the heavy firearms behind, don't catch the cat, it's time to avenge the infantry" Zhang Wei sneered, clenched his fists, and slammed into the ground stained with his own blood ：。
