Chapter 166: Bloody Battle to Stop the Enemy (4)

In front of the position of the preparatory battalion was a complete infantry brigade, equipped with an infantry artillery squadron, with a total of six 92 infantry guns, plus the infantry artillery squad in the brigade, a total of eight 92 infantry guns. X

As for the infantry units, they have long been prepared, two infantry squadrons, plus two heavy machine guns, will launch an assault, the 92 infantry guns are loaded with grenades, the elevation angle of the guns is adjusted, the squadron leader gives the order to open fire, several shells drill out of the chambers, the accuracy is average, only two fall on the positions of the preparatory battalion.

"Charge!" Two squadrons of infantry, nearly 300 Japanese troops, rushed out of their starting positions and headed towards the preparatory camp, the Japanese troops advanced slowly with bright bayonets, and then gradually increased their pace, stepping over the weeds on the ground and the abandoned earthen walls. Approaching the position of the preparatory battalion, the heavy machine gunners carried two Type 92 heavy machine guns forward with carrying sticks, and then behind them, the crews of three infantry guns pushed the guns and moved forward slowly.

After the shelling, the soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery hole crawled out of the hole and all went to the position, Zhang Wei was in the position of the first line and the second company, and the dust on his body was patted off, and the Japanese troops facing the position formed several attack formations. Coming at the position of the prepared battalion.

"Mu Chao, your second company is a first-line position, everyone, you are not allowed to shoot back within 100 meters, I am going to go to the position of the second line and the third company in the back now, you show me the position, don't shoot in advance!" Zhang Wei left an order for Mu Chao on the side, sent a guard along the communication ditch to the mortar position, and ordered the mortar platoon not to open fire without Zhang Wei's order.

Zhang Wei himself took the remaining two guards and turned over directly, and arrived at the position of the third company of the second line, and the heavy machine guns were also arranged on this line of defense.

Coming to the second line of defense, Zheng Yiqun stood in the trench, next to him was a heavy machine gun, seeing Zhang Wei coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and four heavy machine guns were arranged on the position of the third company, and the firing range could be strafed from the front to the left flank of the first line of defense of the second company, and the two lines of defense were staggered.

"Zheng Yiqun, how are your people?" When Zhang Wei entered the position of the third company. It was found that the position was far less quiet than the second company, there were some signs of commotion, the third company had never fought at all, and there were many recruits, so at this time, the situation naturally appeared.

"Battalion commander, the recruits are a little panicked."

Zhang Wei came to the heavy machine gun, and there was also a platoon commander of a heavy machine gun company with this gun. Now Zhang Wei just wants to control the machine gun firepower, he doesn't have time to take care of too many chores, and he doesn't look back and says: "You go and organize the troops, if there is a rout, I only ask, everyone, don't shoot if you don't hear the order, let your subordinates get ready!" ”

When Zheng Yiqun heard the order, he quickly wandered around the trenches, constantly suppressing the riots and repeating Zhang Wei's orders. The machine gun group next to Zhang Wei was led by a heavy machine gun platoon commander, there were two platoons and four heavy machine guns in the position of the third company, Zhang Wei called another platoon commander and the squad leader of all the machine guns, and a group of people took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet rushed into the effective firing range, and held a small meeting.

"Our four guns, you all heard it just now, you are not allowed to shoot if you are not in range, we are originally a second-line position, farther away from the Japanese army, after a while, after the gun next to me fires, your three can be fired, pay attention to shifting positions after firing, be careful of the 92 infantry guns and grenadiers."

Several squad leaders and platoon leaders nodded and returned to their respective positions. There were reserve machine-gun positions dug in advance, all positions were covered by sandbags of fortifications, and the machine guns were already in a state of readiness to fire.

The riot in the position of the third company was also stabilized under the organization of Zheng Yiqun and the squad leader, Zhang Wei raised his head again, and outside the position, the charging Japanese army gradually approached, and it was about to be within 100 meters.

The muffled firing sound of the Zhongzheng rifle of the "bang" standard came, and it was not yet within the firing distance, not in the position of the third company, but it was Mu Chao's people who put the gun in advance.

Mu Chao was angry in the second company position, if he hadn't immediately engaged the enemy, he really wanted to go up and clean up the squad leader of that squad, but fortunately, the recruit did not have a joint reaction after shooting, and was quickly stopped by his squad leader. Mu Chaoqiang suppressed his anger, stared at the Japanese soldier whose face was gradually clear, picked up a Zhongzheng rifle, and aimed at a Japanese soldier.

"Bang"

"Hit!" Mu Chao's gunfire has always been, the second company exploded on the position, the soldiers who had been holding back for a long time opened fire fiercely, and the turntable machine gun fired bullets at the Japanese army one by one with the rotation of the bullet disk.

The Japanese team of the shock was hit hard, and more than a dozen people in front were knocked down almost at the same moment, and the fire of rifles and light machine guns had to make the Japanese troops behind reduce the speed of impact, especially the light machine guns, Zhang Wei ordered the second company to put the enemy closer and then fire fiercely, in this case, the most needed is fierce and dense firepower, the machine gunners are all veterans or sergeants, all of them did not use the point shooting skills during training, and they held on to the trigger.

The ammunition capacity of the turntable machine gun was much greater than that of the Czech type, and the height of the line of fire and the aiming method were also better than that of the Czech type. All the Japanese troops had to continue to spread out in order to reduce the area of the bombs.

"Shoot!" The Japanese army at the front Cao held a saber, commanding the crooked light machine gun group to counterattack on the position, covering the assault of the rifle group to break through, several Japanese soldiers and commanders received feedback from the brigade, the impression of Zhang Wei's defense area is the weak point, for Zhang Wei's preparation battalion did not take it too lightly, but did not take it too seriously, first of all, the Japanese army Cao and the officers can know that the number of defenders is not much, far from the strength of a regiment.

Under this kind of mentality, it is inevitable that Zhang Wei's troops will not look up to Zhang Wei's department, and when the impact is on, Zhang Wei's department did not fire in advance, and there is not much indiscriminate gun phenomenon on the whole, coupled with the fierce fire just now, the officers and soldiers in the attack have slightly changed their views on the enemy in front of them, and the enemy has better shooting discipline, which is already above the average in the squadron.

What about the upper average? What can be done in the face of a strengthened infantry brigade attack, the Japanese officers invariably thought in their hearts.

"Intensify the attack, machine gun cover, open the breach!" The Japanese soldier Cao shouted, the two rifle groups in front of them fell to their feet and moved forward quickly, and when the second company saw someone rushing towards them, they immediately greeted them with bullets, and three Japanese soldiers who were assaulting were immediately killed and fell to the ground.

"Shoot!" Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, the crooked light machine gun commanded by Jun Cao strengthened the firepower, strengthened the suppression of the position of the second company, and covered the breakthrough, and the Japanese rifle group that had suffered three casualties soon had a follow-up replacement, and they did not give up because of the death of the three, and after firing a few rounds with the rifle on the spot, they took out the grenade,
