Chapter 261: The End of the 4th Brigade (2)

After the six mortars of the 1st Company and the 2nd Company of the 2nd Line of Defense blew up the remaining five or six heavy machine guns hiding in the bunkers to pieces, the next target was naturally to lie on the ground and be in a dilemma.

Are you going to say that the devil's shooters are stupid? Knowing that the enemy's artillery was going to attack them, they ran away without lifting a heavy machine gun for the yarn?

The devil soldiers who have already gone to serve Amaterasu just want to say: Great God, the concubine can't do it!

It really can't be done.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped with the main force of the Kwantung Army was developed in 1932 to equip the troops, and this machine gun was improved and developed on the basis of the three-year heavy machine gun, and the three-year heavy machine gun body plus gun carriage weighed a total of 55.3 kilograms, which is already a big guy, but the Type 92 heavy machine gun that uses 7.7 mm bullets goes further, with a total weight of 63 kilograms, that is, a 120-kilogram big guy.

The weight of this thing is not selling fruit, the weight is enough to represent not sincerity, it represents bulky and stupid, and more importantly, for the battlefield where bullets are flying, if you want to carry such a big thing to run, don't be too stupid.

To put it bluntly, the mobility of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is very scummy.

If you lose the machine gun and run for your life, this is even more impossible for the little devil. The little devils of this period not only had strict military laws, but they also had a strong sense of honor, and they would rather serve Amaterasu than lose their weapons.

Therefore, they could only stubbornly be blown to pieces along with the heavy machine gun.

The 12 heavy machine guns of Yanagawa Kazuo's machine gun squadron have completely become the dust of history.

As for the light machine guns, which were responsible for fire support along with the infantry, it was not that they did not try to fight back.

But if you say which weapon designed by the Japanese military industry in World War II is the most pitiful, then the standard light machine gun Taisho 11 used by the Japanese army at this stage, which is the crooked handle light machine gun that the Chinese are most familiar with, can almost dominate, and what we are talking about here is only almost, because the Japanese military industry has other more bizarre works, which will come one by one later.

Let's talk about this crooked sub-machine gun, what are the small shortcomings such as complicated ammunition supply, low rate of fire of 150 rounds per minute, awkward shooting and trouble, no weapon is perfect, right? Even the MG42, an epoch-making military work, is said to have a high rate of fire, which leads to an increase in the logistical burden! According to this statement, everyone should carry a big blade and go into battle, and that thing only needs to be equipped with a whetstone.

What is fatal is that the machine gun in the eleventh year of Taisho was designed by the designers as a delicate and expensive lady-type weapon.

The Taisho 11 light machine gun is very sensitive to changes in the meteorological environment, and the reliability of its use in the low temperature and severe cold conditions in Northeast China is very poor, so the soldiers of the Kwantung Army adopted the method of loading oil cans next to the loader and applying oil to the parts and bullets at any time to maintain reliability; Later, it was found that the reliability of use in the conditions of high temperature and humidity in Southeast Asia was even worse, and even the oil pot did not help. I still haven't tried it in the Sahara Desert, and once the wind and sand blow, the Imperial Japanese Army will find that the machine gun can't go off next door.

Of course, this matter has been experimented with with the help of the Chinese soldiers, and even the poor Chinese army does not like to use crooked handles, but falls in love with Czech manufacturing.

As a matter of fact, the failure rate of the Taisho 11 light machine gun will be relatively low only in the season when it is neither hot nor cold, neither dry nor wet, and under the ideal conditions of careful wiping and maintenance and soft combat intensity.

Well, what kind of situation did you say that the Imperial Japanese Army, who had such a light machine gun of the Miss, which had to be treated gently at all times, would encounter a position that had been burned to the ground and was covered with grass ash and wood residue?

There are a lot of machine guns in the eldest lady, and they have struck on the spot! To put it bluntly, it's stuck, and it can't be beaten. The machine gun shooters were full of sorrow, and they almost looked up to the sky and sighed: "The military brick family of the pit father!" ”

It is estimated that the imperial soldiers who are lying on the ground and tightening their balls are also greeting all the female members of the families of military designers in their hearts at this time, which is completely unsatisfactory to people!

The Japanese machine gunners, who were still full of sorrow and desperately wiping the grass and ashes that had fallen into the machine gun bolt, hoping to make the machine gun roar again, soon knew what it meant to "know if the horse was lost".

The crooked sub-machine gun also has one of the most brain-dead designs, that is, the bipod is too long, the line of fire is too high, and the position is very forward, which is not convenient to exert firepower, the position of the main and secondary shooters is too close, and the battlefield survivability is weak.

The height of the line of fire of the machine gun refers to the distance between the axis of the barrel and the ground when the machine gun tripod is on the ground. The bipod of the Taisho 11 light machine gun has a long pole, so that its line of fire is up to 400mm, so it is higher than the line of fire of ordinary machine guns (usually the height of the line of fire of machine guns does not exceed 300mm, and most of them are as low as possible). Because the position of the loader has been determined, the bipod can only be configured in front to avoid mutual interference with the loader, and in addition, the tripod is on the long side, and the line of fire is high, so that although it is beneficial to shoot at the elevation angle, it is extremely unfavorable to shoot at the flat shot, especially the shot at the depression angle, and the shooter often has to stick the upper body out of the old height in order to form the aiming line.

In battle, on the front-line battlefield, as the main weapon in the infantry, the machine gun is often the target of the opponent's concentrated attack and the first to eliminate, especially in the early battlefield where non-automatic weapons dominated, the machine gun is a great threat to the opponent, so the danger of being knocked out by the opponent is also great.

If you want to say that the elevation angle shooting is advantageous, the slope of this attack area entered by the Japanese army is very gentle, and the slope is only about ten degrees, almost the same as flat land.

As for saying that you don't need a bipod and just put the machine gun on the ground and shoot it directly, you can only say that you really think too much, the strong recoil generated by machine gun shooting will make you unable to grasp the muzzle beating, not to mention, the probability of the machine gunners in front of the Imperial Japanese Army is definitely greater than 70%.

Those who dare to rush out of the position with machine guns and kill all directions, they are all fierce men among fierce men, at least these little devils have not reached that height.

It is conceivable that the Japanese light machine gun shooters who raised their bodies like targets were suppressed by a company of positions for a long time, and the infantry, who had not yet opened, saw what kind of consequences it was, and more than 10 light machine guns and more than 100 rifles were aimed at them, and five heavy machine guns who were still eager to continue to grab merit also rushed over to join in the fun.

In just one minute, the seven light machine guns that the two infantry squadrons could still shoot again, along with the shooters, were all broken into parts, mechanical parts, and flesh parts.

The heavy rain of bullets made the Japanese troops within a radius of 20 meters around the light machine gunner lie as far as they went, and the idea that the dead friends are not dead and poor is actually not only the Chinese.

It's okay to have an unlucky guy die, and I can't afford to accompany him to see Amaterasu, there are a lot of servants on Amaterasu's side today, and the Imperial Japanese Army, who is about to collapse emotionally, has nothing wrong with this idea.

Lying on his stomach can dodge bullets, but he can't dodge the cannonballs that fall from the sky in a parabola, and the six little gunners have probably never been so excited.

The limbs of the Japanese soldiers who were blown up by the shells and flew in the air not only made people's blood run high, but also proved their military exploits.
