186. Makqin was bombarded by mortar shells

When Niu Gu saw this, he immediately ordered the Makqin machine gun to withdraw, but at this time, where was the time, the Japanese mortar gunners were really powerful, and after the correction of two rounds, one left and one right, the third shot accurately hit the target.

The Makqin heavy machine gun of the second line of defense behind Sangou was blown up into the sky at once, Niu Gu wailed in distress, and Sangou was so angry that he could only watch his defensive weapon being dismembered by the enemy.

I'll go, how many enemies are coming on the opposite side, mortars have been used, it's normal to be at the brigade level, there are thousands of people in an infantry brigade, and there must be a wing waiting for the follow-up, more than 3,000 people, my grandmother.

The defensive position of the 7th company of the three dogs can be regarded as the middle of the overall defensive position of Luodian, and at the beginning, the battalion commander Lao Hu did not dare to ask for this salient.

You must know that the salient is the worst of all positions, it is the first to be beaten, it is the most beaten, and it is the first to die; The enemy's key target of attack is his own salient position.

However, this salient happens to have a hill pack, and this one is in the plains, but it is an excellent defensive terrain, if everyone does not want this terrain.

It is equivalent to giving this hill bag to the devil, which is not only a loss of position, you know, once the devil occupies this hill bag.

That's more than a little bit of loss.

Once the devil occupies this hill, the enemy will immediately be condescending, and a few heavy machine guns can suppress a position within a radius of thousands of meters, not to mention that the devil also has all kinds of artillery, even if it is some small-caliber 70 infantry guns and 75 mountain guns, once this mountain bag is pulled.

The entire defensive position of the 51st Division would be covered by the enemy's infantry artillery fire, and even if it was a few miles back, there would be no danger to defend.

Therefore, Qiu Weida, the commander of the 306th Regiment, did not wait for the order of the brigade commander and division commander, and strictly ordered the third battalion to hold the hill of this salient to the death.

The battalion commander Hu naturally knew what was at stake, so he handed over this most difficult task to the 7th Company of his own fortune unit to defend.

A small hill can't fit as many troops as the entire battalion, and if the troops don't expand, it's equivalent to a herd of pigs; Such a small place is enough for 7 companies, and the large number of people is in the way.

It is necessary to treat the 7th Company as a nail and nail it to this so-called "mountain", a large dirt bag; The other two companies, a little further back, one left and one right, arched and guarded the flanks and rear of the 7th Company, similar to a defensive formation in the shape of a "pin".

In the end, whether it can hold on and whether it can complete the tasks assigned by the boss depends on the 7th Company, so Lao Hu did not wait for Niu Gu to make a request, so he gave priority to equipping the 7th Company with the best Makqin heavy machine gun in the whole battalion at the earliest.

This is the treasure of the whole battalion, I didn't expect that just after the war, it was blown away by the devil, can Niu Gu not feel distressed, can Sangou not be angry.

Moreover, to put it mildly, this heavy machine gun that everyone relies on is the key to whether the whole company, the whole battalion, the whole regiment, and the whole army can hold the positions of the salient department, the Luodian position, and the Shanghai position.

Although the battalion headquarters is equipped with a machine gun company, and there are heavy machine guns and mortars in the A division, not every A division is like this, most of the battalions of the 51st Division do not have mortars, and the battalion machine gun company has only 4 heavy machine guns.

Only at the regimental level did there be a mortar company, armed with 12 mortars; This mortar is the nemesis of heavy machine guns, but Niu Gu, a company commander who has just been promoted, naturally does not dare to go to the regimental headquarters to ask for mortars.

Mortar, isn't there a mortar of devils in the ammunition depot in the tunnel of the 7th company, Niu Gu suddenly remembered, but immediately became discouraged again, no one in the 7th company can operate the artillery, not to mention the Japanese mortar, I don't know if the three dogs will be?

At this time, I also thought of the Japanese mortars, and quickly turned around to signal to Niu Gu, Niu Gu understood, called a few people, went in and moved a mortar and two boxes of mortars to pop out.

The three dogs called Big Potato and their light machine guns constantly fired short bursts and transposition shots to stop the charge of the devil's infantry, while also dodging the devil's mortars.

The Czech-style light machine guns fired two bursts of three bursts, and they were immediately transferred, and the machine gun shooter followed with the magazine on his back; Often as soon as they leave the firing position, the mortar shells of the devils fall, and the gunners of the devils are really powerful.

There is also the devil's 92 heavy machine, now that there is no suppression from Makqin, it is very arrogant, and it actually moved forward to a distance of more than 400 meters, chasing the light machine guns of the three dogs.

As soon as the light machine gun appeared, the bullets of the 92 heavy machine came over, but fortunately, there were three light machine guns, constantly changing the firing position, just like two cats catching three mice.

In the position on Sangou's side, because there were constantly light machine guns and sporadic rifles fighting, the devil's infantry movement speed was much slower.

But no matter how slow it is, it is about to enter the danger line of 200 meters, and the three dogs have just seen the Japanese grenadiers, and when they enter 200 meters, the grenadiers are about to exert their terrifying power.

The Japanese army had a large number of grenadiers, and each squad (more than fifty people) would be equipped with a grenadier squad equipped with three or four grenadiers, one grenadier with a main shooter, one ammunition soldier, and 8-16 grenades on their backs.

What Sangou now understands is the Japanese Taisho ten-year grenadier canister, with a range of 175 meters, such a close distance, it is very dangerous for the launcher, plus its accuracy is average, and it was later replaced by the 89-type grenadier.

The Type 89 grenadier is an improved version of the Taisho 10th year, with a caliber of 50 mm, a maximum range of 700 meters, an effective range of 500 meters, and a relatively safe distance of 500 meters.

Therefore, after that, the eight-nine grenadier made the three dogs suffer a lot, at a distance of 500 meters, the rifle machine gun may not be able to hit it accurately, the grenadier is too flexible, and it is difficult to hit it at once if one person picks it up and walks.

But it fires a 50 mm grenade, which is actually about the same power as a hand grenade; This is very painful, just imagine, our manpower grenade can only be thrown at about 50 meters normally, and it is in an ideal state of standing posture.

The 89-style grenadier can be thrown over 500 meters away, similar to a super grenade pitcher; It's like two people fighting, you can't beat him, but he can easily beat you up with different tricks; The feeling is very hopeless.

It's too unequal fighting, so later Sangou took his subordinates to practice mortars and grenadier skills, and only superb mortars and grenadiers can get these grenadier soldiers like fleas, which is a later story.

Fortunately, the devils here don't have eight or nine grenadiers, only those of the tenth year of Taisho, otherwise, if the 500-meter grenadier is launched, it will definitely catch the three dogs off guard, and even die in Huangquan.
