Lieutenant Colonel Pei frowned, he didn't expect that the army would be so difficult to gnaw, and it took almost two hours for Lu Jian'an to lead a battalion of troops to take it down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A lieutenant next to him said: "Although the number of the Yue army over there is not much, the terrain is quite favorable to the Yue army, and it will take a lot of time for Battalion Commander Lu's troops to take it down, and if you want to attack hard, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small!" ”

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Pei pondered for a while and said: "What about the tank company over there, if they let them cooperate, how can I stop the attack inside and outside!" ”

"The tank company is suppressed by the enemy's anti-tank guns, and if you rush out!" The lieutenant next to him said again.

"Hmph, how can you fight if you are cowering, do you want me to wait for him for a few hours, and give Lu Jian'an an an order, so that he must break through the enemy's position within an hour, and then join the main force of the regiment headquarters!" Lieutenant Colonel Pei is naturally not satisfied with the current situation, but his 52nd Regiment still has important tasks, and it is impossible to be delayed here for too long.

He ordered again: "Don't wait for a battalion, let's go first!" ”

The 52nd Regiment, as the vanguard of the Fifth Division, was responsible for covering the 1st Panzer Division, and now the 1st Panzer Division was rapidly advancing forward, and he must also keep up with the pace of the 1st Panzer Division, otherwise a bad mistake would cause the 1st Panzer Division to fall into the enemy's encirclement.

Although the speed of the assault of the armored cluster is fast, this rapid assault also represents going deep into the depth of the enemy's army, and now the army is mobilizing a large number of main forces to try to stop the assault of the armored cluster, and if one is not done well, it will cause heavy losses.

In addition to the armored cluster dominated by the First Panzer Army, the 17th Army cooperated with the operation, investing as many as 70,000 or 80,000 troops, in order to completely break through the defensive depth of the Japanese Army, disrupt the deployment and command system of the Japanese Army, and thus create an opportunity for a large-scale breakthrough for the main infantry force in the rear. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to lose the big because of the small.

Lieutenant General Fang Dashan, commander of the First Armored Army, has repeatedly ordered the Fifth Division to keep up with the pace of the First Armored Division, and the division headquarters of the Fifth Division has also asked the 52nd Regiment to speed up, but now the 52nd Regiment is blocked because of a small force, which makes Lieutenant Colonel Pei very dissatisfied.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, the battle still has to be fought, since the first battalion has been dragged down, he has no choice but to directly lead the main force of the regiment headquarters to continue to hurry, but he can't give up the original plan because of this small army.

Just when the main force of the 52nd Regiment continued to move south, the 521st Battalion, which remained behind, also received an order from Lieutenant Colonel Pei, Lu Jian'an looked at the order in his hand and sighed, he knew that his top boss Lieutenant Colonel Pei was already very dissatisfied with his ineffective operation, but he couldn't help it, the terrain occupied by the army was too good, and it was difficult for his own attack to exert firepower, and if he attacked strongly, he was afraid that the loss would be great. But he also knew that no matter what, this was not a reason for him to fight badly.

"If you can't do it well, I'm afraid it will leave a very bad impression on the people above!" Although Lu Jian'an is fifty years old, according to the convention, he should be almost retired, but now that he has encountered a war, then as a professional officer, he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to move up, if he can make contributions in this war, he does not expect to be promoted as quickly as Lieutenant Colonel Pei, but it should not be a problem to be promoted to lieutenant colonel before retiring.

He is different from Lieutenant Colonel Pei, who is the winner of the Silver Double Sword Medal, and was promoted to a colonel at a young age, and now he is only thirty-two years old and is already a lieutenant colonel. And he Lu Jian'an has no hope of becoming a general in his life, but it should be possible to be promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel before retiring.

And the premise of this possibility is to make military merits, in today's [***] team, it is almost difficult to rise without military merits. The other so-called age qualifications are not very useful, because it has only been less than 20 years since the establishment of this army, and in the past 20 years, there have been many major wars and small wars, such as civil wars, Qingdao wars, intervention in the Russian civil war, the first Sino-Chinese war, the second Russian civil war, and this Sino-Chinese war, which can be said to be a continuous war. And a large number of wars have also created a large number of officers and generals with outstanding military achievements, not to mention others, Tang Qiang, the commander of the 47th Division, is an obvious example, this person has participated in almost all wars, and his military exploits and qualifications have long been able to climb to the lieutenant general if they are placed in those troops that rarely have wars, but in the Chinese Army, he is still only a major general, which does not mean that he is not capable, but compared with other generals in the army, his military merits and qualifications are very ordinary. To stand out in the group of talented officials, the difficulty is not ordinary, at least based on the length of seniority alone, it is simply not too high.

Lu Jian'an didn't have much ambition, he just thought that if he could retire with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he would be worthy of his lifelong career as a horseman.

After gritting his teeth, he turned to a captain and said, "Captain Li, I will send two 80mm mortars to the 3rd Company, 6 light machine guns from the 1st Company to him, and two 60mm mortars from the 2nd Company!" ”

Saying this, he fixed his gaze on the middle-aged captain for a few seconds and continued: "In this way, can your department take down the right wing of the opposite side!" ”

The middle-aged Captain Li on the opposite side showed resoluteness after hearing this: "As long as the second company and the first company can contain the other armies, the third company guarantees that it can be taken!" ”

Lu Jian'an nodded: "Then go!" ”

In order to quickly take down this army and rescue the tank company, the first battalion quickly made tactical adjustments, transferred a large amount of firepower and assigned it to the third company, and then used the third company as the main force to try to break through the right flank position of the Japanese army.

For a time, the guns and artillery roared, and the third company, as the main attack, launched a dense formation charge that has rarely been used in the Chinese army, and the number of casualties of the troops rose sharply in a short period of time.

However, after paying a large number of casualties, the third company quickly broke into the right flank position of the Yue army by relying on its superiority in firepower, and then engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Yue army in front of it.

After the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the bayonets of both sides continued to stab out, and occasionally the sound of pistols could be heard.

When a soldier shouted and walked forward with a rifle, he suddenly remembered a sudden sound, and then the soldier was shot out of a few bullet holes, and this sudden sound was not the sound of a light machine gun, let alone the sound of a heavy machine gun, but the sound of a submachine gun.

Submachine guns, this kind of weapon is not a new commodity, as early as the end of World War I, the German army began to use, and in the 1923 Sino-Chinese War, China also began to use a small number of submachine guns and test some of the combat effectiveness of submachine guns, and played a big role in the battle to conquer Arthur.

However, the submachine gun used by China for test operations at that time was not a submachine gun to some extent, but a submachine pistol modified from the Mauser C96, which was insufficient in power and range. Although it played a certain role in the Lushun operation, this only made the army top brass see the potential of the submachine gun, but the C96 submachine gun itself was not much favorable, and at that time there was a big gap with the German MP18 in the late World War I and the American M1921\M1923 series of Thomson submachine guns.

Therefore, the post-war army is to ask the equipment department to develop a submachine gun, and the army equipment department in reference to the German MP18 and the United States Thomson series submachine guns, absorb the advantages and disadvantages of the two and combined with the Chinese army's own situation, so as to develop the 1924 submachine gun, because the submachine gun to some extent refers to the United States Thomson submachine gun, the structure is complex, not to mention, the more important thing is the high cost, the price of each is as high as more than 400 yuan. This price is not even much cheaper than the 1921 light machine gun, you must know that the price of the 1921 light machine gun is only 500 yuan. The high price made the army reluctant to accept the 1924 submachine gun.

As a result, the Ministry of Armament was forced to re-develop another submachine gun, after adopting many simplified processes, and benefiting from the rapid progress of China's industrial base during the twenties, so that the development of a new submachine gun was effectively cost controlled, and finally the 1928 submachine gun was developed, which fired the only standard pistol cartridge common to the Chinese army: 11.5 mm pistol cartridges. It is similar in appearance to the German MP28, with a magazine of 21 rounds and 29 rounds. The number of magazines is based on the reload of the 1911 pistol, because the pistols used by the Chinese Army are all 1911 pistols, and the number of magazines is 7 rounds, and the soldiers usually carry pistol bullets in multiples of 7 rounds, that is, about 14 or 21 rounds. The submachine gun uses the same pistol bullet, so the number of reloads in the magazine is also a multiple of 7 rounds. In order to control the cost, the structure of the 1928 submachine gun is very simple or simple, and there are some minor problems, such as the occasional jam of the ammunition supply system, but compared with several other mainstream submachine guns in the world today, the surname can not be much inferior. However, the cost is much lower, the purchase price of a 1928 submachine gun is about 260 yuan, equivalent to about 130 US dollars, while the price of the American Thomson Chong submachine gun in the same period is as high as more than 200 US dollars.

However, although the cost has been greatly reduced, it is limited to the huge ammunition consumption of submachine guns, so the army's logistics department seriously opposes the large-scale equipment of submachine guns, and directly stated: With the existing logistics supply system of the Chinese army, it is absolutely impossible to meet the needs of a unit equipped with submachine guns on a large scale.

At the same time, the Ministry of Armament also explained that according to China's existing industrial capacity, it is difficult to provide enough ammunition for a large number of submachine guns. After all, there are enough light and heavy machine guns in the Chinese army, and if there is another submachine gun, it will be an extremely serious challenge for the domestic defense industry.

Based on various circumstances, although the submachine gun was developed in 1928, the ordinary troops were still not equipped, and the army only purchased a batch to equip armored units, mainly for armored divisions and infantry units under motorized infantry divisions, so as to improve the short-range combat capability of these troops.

And this kind of equipment does not mean that each person has one hand, but only the squad leader can be equipped with a submachine gun, and the deputy squad leader is equipped with a rifle that can carry a grenade launcher, plus an accurate shooter equipped with a scope, these three people lead two riflemen each, that is, they can form three combat groups, so as to cooperate with the battle of the machine gun group.

An infantry squad of a motorized infantry division consisted of a standard twelve people, including a machine gun group of three people, a combat group of three people. There are two fewer than traditional infantry units.

The equipment of submachine guns is currently limited to armored troops, but the equipment units have rarely been able to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Yue army, so they have not played a big role before.

Today's hand-to-hand combat between the two sides has finally allowed the submachine guns to find their own use, although the number of submachine guns currently equipped is not much, and the total number of submachine guns is only nine, but the firepower exerted when the hand-to-hand combat is to give their own side a great advantage.

After the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, the scene was extremely tragic, and in a short period of time, a large number of soldiers were hit and fell, and the soldiers of the two countries did everything possible to stab bayonets into the enemy's body and bullets into the enemy's body for the sake of the country and the nation, and even more so for their own survival...... By the time of ten minutes, the shouts had gradually faded away, and the land was a large area of corpses!
