Chapter 444: Second Line See-saw (7)

The Japanese infantry detachment that attacked the teaching brigade was brutally knocked out by the first squadron, and the rest hurriedly retreated, and a hundred meters in front of the position of the teaching brigade, the main force of the squad and the heavy machine guns converged to form a line of fire.

and the teaching brigade, mainly the officers and soldiers of the 1st squadron, fired at each other.

The Japanese squad was equipped with light machine guns, heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and the firepower was quite strong, and these devils did not advance, so they shot on the spot 100 meters in front of the position of the teaching brigade, and the conditions in the field just provided cover for these devils, and the field was already uneven, and there were all kinds of materials and corpses left behind by the Japanese army last night, which was a good hiding area for these Japanese troops.

Some Japanese light machine gunners simply collected the corpses around them, and the corpses were left for more than a day, freezing in the middle of the night, and the machine guns could be fired on them.

In the field, the Japanese quickly formed an improvised position using corpses and leftover materials, with bloody corpses, boxes, horse corpses, and even stumps piled together, and the infantry was next to these makeshift fortifications, followed by two heavy machine gun squads equipped with four heavy machine guns.

The firing range of the teaching brigade was limited by Zhang Wei to the first-line position, and if it was smaller, it was the first and second squadrons that directly faced the enemy, and this Japanese army was mainly facing Qiu Wei's first squadron.

Therefore, the main opponent of the Japanese army in this battle is Qiu Wei's 1st Squadron stationed in the front-line position, and some brothers of the 2nd Squadron are also involved in the battle.

Not to be outdone, Qiu Wei ordered the grenadiers and grenades of the whole squadron to concentrate on the attack, and the second squadron of the friendly neighbor also entered the battle, and the weapons and equipment of the devils were basically the same as those of the first squadron.

Speaking of which, the Japanese army has Type 89 grenadiers, and the Teaching Brigade also has Type 27 grenadiers and Type 28 grenades, and they are also equipped with light machine guns to squads, grenadiers to grenadiers, light machine guns to light machine guns, and even the Japanese army does not have to sigh, how can the firepower of the Chinese army be so strong.

The fighting situation of the two armies is almost like a "positional battle" in the field.

"Hit! Aim at that devil heavy! "Three soldiers of a grenadier group of a squadron squatted in the trench, loading and shooting, the grenadier is the same as the grenade, there is no fixed angle of fire, all rely on the experience of the veterans, in order to conceal, the shooting of each squad grenadier group is carried out in the trench, the shooter raised his head, roughly estimated the target distance, and then adjusted the handwheel and angle of the 27-type grenadier, roughly aimed at a Japanese army's crooked light machine gun.

The "boom" sub-shooter cooperated with the main shooter to load the grenade into the grenadier, and the shooter pulled the hair, and a grenade came out in response and landed on the Japanese line, and the grenade fell on the Japanese line, but it did not hit, and the effective range of the grenadier was about 100 meters, and the so-called effective range, as the name suggests, is the range that really has a lethal effect.

The effective firing range of the Japanese army's 89 grenadiers was 120 meters, and the Chinese-made 27 grenadiers equipped with the teaching brigade were smaller in size and had a smaller effective firing range, about 100 meters, which was exactly the distance between the position of the teaching brigade and the current line of the Japanese army.

The grenade fell seven or eight meters behind the Japanese fireline, only wounding the target light machine gun, which was also transferred before the grenade fell, and the tactical literacy of the Japanese army in the shooting was very high, and the light machine gun and grenadier often changed positions.

Not long after the grenade exploded, a row of bullets hit the trench above the heads of the grenadier group, and the Japanese reacted quickly, judging the approximate location of the grenadier by using the trajectory and the smoke fired, and the three soldiers of the grenadier group hurriedly evacuated with the smoking grenadiers, while the first squadron responded to these Japanese soldiers with a round of 79 rifle platoon shots.

The rest of the first squadron, guns and grenades, light machine guns, and grenadiers were all attacking, and Qiu Wei unified the use of the small artillery squad directly under the squadron, and commanded the maneuver, and Qiu Wei pointed to where to shoot.

The Japanese army used the corpse construction and the environment of the field to provide a good place for the Japanese army to avoid bombs, and these Japanese soldiers were not disgusted, and dared to shoot while lying on the corpse that had been exploded, which was a rare condition in normal field warfare.

The first squadron that bore the brunt of the attack was not a big deal, and the casualties were not large, but the fight was not smooth, Zhang Wei was not allowed to fire with a mortar, and the third squadron and the heavy machine gun deployed in the second-line position were also not allowed to fire, and the two sides fought-for-tat for a while, and it was difficult to separate.

Zhang Wei saw the situation of the first squadron clearly in the command headquarters, Qiu Wei did not ask for fire support and reinforcements, and Zhang Wei just left it alone.

In the past, when he encountered such a thing, Zhang Wei had already urged the first-line troops to dispatch the second-line troops to increase the killing and wounding of the Japanese army, but the purpose of the second-line position was to delay, just like the thoughts of these devils in front of the teaching brigade.

What Zhang Wei was worried about was the position of Zhou Pu's camp on the right, and the situation there was very bad.

……

The infantry artillery squad of the Takeda Brigade continued to advance and open fire in front of the position of the Zhou Pu battalion.

"Target, heavy machine gun of the enemy's second-line position, at a distance of three hundred and fifty meters, one high-explosive grenade, release!"

With a bang, the Type 92 infantry gun fired a grenade, aiming directly at the heavy machine gun of Zhou Pu's battalion, and the shell smashed on the trench erected by the heavy machine gun, and the bursting shrapnel knocked down the surrounding national soldiers one after another.

The heavy machine gun that was aimed, just like the failure of the grenadier attack on the Japanese heavy machine gun just now, was crooked!

The platoon commander who commanded the heavy machine gun firing was a cadet trained by Zhang Wei in the teaching brigade, who had received training on the transfer of firepower, and with the heavy machine gun group, he commanded the gunmen to carry the guns to the next firing position, and the Japanese artillery failed. However, the situation in the front-line position of Zhou Pu's camp is extremely grim.

The Japanese infantry of the shock broke through to within 100 meters, and the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion on the front line resisted desperately, organizing all kinds of firearms to shoot and resist, but the Japanese attack was strong and could not bear it for a long time.

In the front-line trenches, the Japanese grenades and heavy machine guns were fiercely suppressed, and the infantry artillery not only specialized in machine guns, but also fired grenade shotguns into the front-line positions.

A Czech machine gun shooter held his gun, and a 79-caliber machine gun bullet drilled out of the flared muzzle of the Czech light machine gun, and the bullets swept three Japanese soldiers, and in a short time, the magazine of 20 rounds was completely wiped out, and the co-shooter took out the magazine and reloaded the light machine gun.

Boom - A grenade fired from an 89-type grenadier accurately hit this immobile light machine gun, and the two gunners and the light machine gun were blown up in a blur of flesh and blood, and the battle situation gradually became tragic in the front-line trenches of Zhou Pu's battalion......
