Chapter 41: The first rehearsal of the Seventh Brigade

"What? Mitsui Shaozoyu is broken? Sugi stood up in surprise.

"Hey, my subordinates are not well protected!" Makino Yoda hung his head down, and a piece of gauze oozing red blood still hung from his neck.

Cedar waved his hand violently, stopping his self-blame.

"Which army of China is on the other side?"

"I haven't found out yet, but their flag is a yellow five-star flag," Makino hurriedly explained, pausing before adding, "They are red flags, a bit like the Russians." ”

"Soviet Russia?" After pondering for a moment, Shanmu shook his head slightly and said, "Go ahead and take a look at this team!" ”

"Eight! Brother Liu, he killed eight little devils! Xiao Hefei grabbed Liu Dazui's arm tightly and whispered in surprise, looking at Snake Qi's eyes full of longing brilliance.

However, Snake Seven is constantly changing positions, saying that there are many shooting veterans among him, and Snake Seventeen was pierced through the chest by a bullet. Fortunately, he only injured his lungs, but he also lost the ability to move, and was saved by Rabbit Forty. He was also rescued by a cigarette pouch veteran from the nearby position, who was lucky to only be injured in the shoulder by shrapnel from the shell, and his left hand may be crippled, but as long as the treatment is timely, it will not hurt his surname.

Without the observation and help of his assistants, Snake Seven's movements were undoubtedly affected, and after killing his opponent on his first two occasions, he was stung to death with at least five guns. After continuous transfer, he actually swam to the position on the left.

"What's this, I was ...... back then" Liu Dazui no longer mentioned Shanghai, but talked about the past, when a gunshot knocked down his military hat on the bayonet. Immediately frightened him into a cold sweat, and swallowed back all the words on his lips.

The devils on the opposite side did not attack, and the main attacking forces were concentrated on the position of the 1st Battalion on the right.

The gunfire there never stopped.

"Request another round of five-minute artillery bombardment from the wing, and the 2nd and 3rd squadrons will coordinate and collectively attack!" Cedar Mu put down the binoculars and commanded with a blue face. Not long after he arrived, the remaining thirteen men of the first squadron retreated, and all of them were wounded. Deputy Captain Mitsui was killed as soon as the battle began, which also demoralized the brigade a lot.

With the sound of the "boom, boom, boom" cannon roaring, as the shells moved forward, the soldiers of the second and third squadrons, under the leadership of Makino Yoda, who had been temporarily promoted to be the deputy captain, rushed to the position on the opposite side that was still flying the five-star red flag.

It was already a hundred meters away from the first trench, but there was no movement this time. The clearing, which had just been plowed by artillery fire, was littered with the severed arms of the locust army that had charged before, but there was not a single corpse of the soldiers who were also wearing the new German uniforms.

Eighty meters, at this distance in the past, machine gun fire had already begun on the opposite side. The opponent's machine gun fire was fierce, and the unique sound was unforgettable.

Seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters, the soldiers of the two squadrons of shock had already puffed up their chests, no longer dodging and dodging, and rushed forward with a howl. As long as you run a little faster at this distance, you can jump into the trench with two or three shots, and under the white-knuckle battle, there is nothing to resist the imperial locust army.

No one shouted the order to strike, the distinctive sound of the MG-34 machine gun was the order, and nearly a hundred Suomi submachine guns were fired together, and the sound overpowered the sound of nine general-purpose machine guns at once. The soldiers who charged upright immediately poured a large pile like wheat harvesting.

Although under the precise artillery fire of the first line, the first battalion and the third company defending the first line also suffered a lot of losses. But coupled with the second company that had rested for a while, the concentrated ammunition was still enough for them to choreograph a short dance of death with a metallic flame.

Stimulated by the blood on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers have lost their rational considerations, and destroying everything on the other side is the reason to live.

The one in the back did not flinch, and hit the barrage sprinkled by the general-purpose machine gun wave after wave. Their courage is enough for them to ignore life and death, but unfortunately, nine general-purpose machine guns and a barrage of nearly 100 sommi, the multiple bullet rain absolutely penetrates the coldness of death into everyone's bones.

Sommi's voice had been interrupted, followed by the roar of grenades.

"Sir, please leave some seeds for the Seventh Brigade!" Seeing the fall of his subordinates, half of the front fell in an instant, and Gu Liangshou, the staff officer of the brigade who followed Shanmu, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Fool, the firepower of the army of the people on the opposite side has already begun to gradually weaken, and under such dense and continuous firepower, they will definitely not have too much ammunition, and this is a good time to take them down in one go." Cedar glared at him, and although he was also annoyed when he came, he calmed down, and observed the opposite side for three and a half hours, and only after he had worn down the fourth squadron and saw that the fire from the opposite side was intermittent, he gave the order for a general attack.

But who would have thought that the other party still had a lot of ammunition, and when the locust army approached, it spilled out.

But he also saw that after another burst of intensive attacks, four more machine-gun fire points had stopped. There is no sign of a locust attack, which can only indicate that the opponent's ammunition is already insufficient.

After thinking about it, there were three more machine-gun fire points on the opposite side.

"Grenadier!" With a wave of his hand, the six grenadiers in front of him were divided into two places and began to fire again.

The other grenadiers had already been knocked out when they were confronting the grenadiers on the opposite side, and the opponent's grenadiers were actually quite a few, and the dense firepower once suppressed the firepower of the Imperial soldiers. You know, the Imperial Grenadier is a veteran who has been trained for many years, and he is on a par with the other party who is also skilled.

At this time, the entire brigade could not organize ten crosses. Shanmu didn't dare to concentrate all the grenadiers, he couldn't figure out how many grenadiers were left on the opposite side.

After the second round of bombardment from the grenadiers, Sugi's heart relaxed, and the ammunition of the opponent's grenadiers should be insufficient.

But as soon as his heart was half lowered, the peculiar sound of a mortar rose from the opposite side. Caught off guard, one grenadier position had been destroyed, and three grenadiers had been shattered and completely scattered.

"And they still have mortars?" After watching the opposite side accurately bombard the two remaining heavy machine gun positions, Shanmu gritted his teeth. It would have been nice if those two 70-mm infantry guns in the brigade were still there. But he forgot that the two 75 guns on the opposite side also stopped shelling shortly after they dispersed the two 70 infantry guns.

It didn't take long for the other party's mortars to stop, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. They don't have many mortars, only three in total, and they don't have much ammunition.

If he saw the standard equipment of the first battalion, he would definitely be even more happy. On the opposite side, the first battalion, because the weapons were too eye-catching, most of the heavy weapons were concentrated in the trading houses in Nanjing. It turned out that the two general-purpose machine guns in a squad were also changed to one, which is still eye-catching. If there are two in each class, wouldn't it be a jealous madness.

Unfortunately, these weapons and ammunition have not been replenished due to temporary changes and other reasons.

In this way, Sugi still misjudged the remaining ammunition of the opponent, and caused heavy losses to the second and third squadrons. But the sparse gunfire also proved that his current judgment was basically correct, and the opponent was running out of ammunition.

When the special machine gun sound had stopped, looking at the less than 100 imperial soldiers who were still charging on the battlefield, Shanmu touched his chest that was faintly painful, and waved his hand:

"Reserves, strike!"

There are only four squadrons in the Seventh Brigade, the first and fourth have been disabled, and the remaining no more than thirty people who can hold weapons, plus other types of personnel in the brigade headquarters, a total of 57 people, is the last reserve in the hands of Shanmu.
