Chapter 537: Intensive bombardment of grenadiers
(Recommended reading: Of course, these are not the main reasons why the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army chose the battlefield here.
The most important thing is that the terrain around here is very complicated, the mountains behind are stacked, once you can't bear it, you can escape into the mountains at any time, you can evacuate as quickly as possible, and over this mountain is the control area of the Eighth Route Army, even if these puppet troops want to chase it.
You must know that although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor, after all, it has a large base area and 70,000 or 80,000 troops.
As soon as he arrived near the volcano, Peng Weiyi had already discovered the formation of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army, and his face suddenly sank.
The previous sneak attack made him suffer huge losses, and he had always been deeply ashamed, but this time not only did his side have the advantage of troops, but the two sides also set up a battle formation, which was definitely a good opportunity for revenge!
"Everyone, ten oceans for a person's head, twenty captured alive, and twice as many officers!"
Peng Weiyi's face was hideous and said to the officers of the remaining small units of the puppet army: "Whether it is for the ocean or for something else, I hope that this time you can cooperate with Peng Mou and fight this battle beautifully, my Peng Weiyi's leading army is in the center of the fierce attack, you break through on the flank, you can't win and we earn the ocean, if you can annihilate most of the Sichuan Army ** regiment in one fell swoop, then our position in the eyes of the imperial army will be completely different, and when the imperial army completely stabilizes the situation in the future, maybe I and you can get a founding meritorious service or something, It's not completely impossible to divide the territory, what do you think? ”
"Don't worry, cutting off a person's head is an ocean of white flowers, although my group of unsuccessful subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, but this time they will definitely fight hard!"
"That's it, you can spend the first half of the year comfortably by cutting off a person's head, so fools won't work hard, besides, there are so many of us, and the more bold people are, the stronger!"
The rest of the puppet army captains also shouted with blood-red eyes, if it weren't for their small numbers, I'm afraid they would be the main attackers, and then they might be able to kill more enemies and get more rewards.
"Brothers, the time has come to test our strength, and when the time comes, we must not only pay attention to safety as much as possible, but also destroy the enemy as much as possible, so that the gang of people on the other side will know what kind of fate it will be to be a traitor and lackey."
In the position of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army, instructors at all levels cheered for the soldiers, and the soldiers stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, waiting for orders at any time.
"Brothers, Attack Me"
With Peng Weiyi's two loud roars, a large number of puppet troops rushed up to the position of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army under the cover of the terrain, approaching quickly, and at the same time, the rest of the puppet army units were also divided into two groups, going up the mountain from the flank of the volcano, and outflanking this side.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer!
Eight hundred meters, six hundred meters
Five hundred meters
Four hundred meters!
"Put!"
With the roar of Xu Yunwang's hemp pole, the sound of dong dong rang out from the position of the ** regiment of the Sichuan army, and more than 30 grenadiers were fired in unison, and the shells roared and fell towards the position of the puppet army.
These grenadiers are all ** grenadiers, in fact, they are also light and improved mortars, and the weight is very light, only less than five kilograms, which is extremely convenient and conducive to equipping troops for rapid transfer operations.
Of course, because of the pursuit of lightness, the explosive power of the cannonballs of the grenadiers is much smaller than that of mortars, but for the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army that lacks artillery support, these grenadiers are definitely a great supplement to the lack of artillery, so Xu Yun's reinforced battalion of more than 300 people brought more than 30 grenadiers on his body, and it was a volley of grenadiers at every turn, which caused many casualties among the pursuing Japanese troops.
**Grenadier is an improved version of the Japanese Taisho ten-year grenadier, the range of the Taisho ten-year grenadier is very short, only more than 200 meters, and the maximum range of the **grenadier used now is 700 meters, and the effective range is 500 meters.
And now the reason why these puppet troops have to be put into a distance of 400 meters before firing artillery is that the Sichuan Army ** Regiment did not have grenadiers before, so in the training, it only explained the principle of firing artillery, and there was no opportunity to train for precision strikes, so now it can only replace accuracy with density.
The more important reason is that almost all the members of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army are now equipped with 38 rifles, with an effective firing range of more than 500 meters, while the puppet army on the opposite side is equipped with more old rifles, and there are very few 38 rifles, and the effective firing range is often more than 300 meters.
Although the soldiers of the ** Regiment of the Kechuan Army have undergone more than two months of assault shooting training, the shooting accuracy is still not very high, and it is extremely unrealistic to expect everyone to accurately hit the target at a distance of 500 meters, and within 500 meters, the certainty is much greater.
Therefore, they decided to put these puppet troops within 500 meters, and then use grenadiers to carry out intensive bombardment accompanied by accurate shooting, and strive to deal the biggest blow to these puppet troops in one go!
"Damn it, get down"
All the puppet soldiers never expected that the other party actually had so many grenadiers, looking at the cannonballs flying from the sky like dark clouds, they suddenly cried and howled in fright, screaming miserably and rushing to the ground!
Thundered
One shell after another exploded on the charging line of the puppet army, and those puppet soldiers who only blew up cried for their fathers and mothers, and thirty or forty people fell in an instant, and the smoke of gunfire rose everywhere in front of the position, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Hit"
A veteran roared wildly, pulled the trigger fiercely, and a puppet soldier a few hundred meters away suddenly burst out of his chest with a large amount of blood, and fell to the ground like a stake.
"Fight, let these traitor lackeys taste the power of our Sichuan Army ** Regiment"
Many soldiers fired in unison, the guns exploded, the bullets whizzed around, and the puppet army that had just been blown up in the explosion and had just gotten up suffered heavy casualties again, and dozens of people fell down in an instant!
"Damn, how can these bastards be so accurate in their marksmanship?"
"It's over, it's over, don't talk about cutting off a few heads this time and going back to get the reward, I'm afraid I won't have any money to spend now."
A group of puppet soldiers shot back, while crying and screaming, these two waves of rain-like attacks, instantly extinguished most of their war intent stimulated by the ocean.
"These damn bastards!"
Seeing this scene, Peng Weiyi's eyes were about to burst with anger, and he shouted: "The machine gunner stepped forward, suppress the opponent's firepower, everyone should not get together, they all dispersed, crawl forward, and try to get as close to the target as possible."
Four or five crooked machine guns were carried to the forward position, and then they roared, and the whistling bullets rained down towards the position of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army, and finally temporarily suppressed the fire on the opposite side.
Many puppet troops finally got a chance to breathe, and they braved the artillery fire to approach the position of the ** regiment of the Sichuan Army again!
