Chapter 53 Anti-aircraft machine guns can be used for two purposes
"How come they have so many MG-34 machine guns?" When the general-purpose machine guns of the first battalion at the head of the castle began to wield, Jiro Kazaka couldn't help but frown. Because Xie Chengrui didn't let the first battalion put out the team flag, he could only think that the Central Army had set up a lot of such machine guns.
But he didn't use it at first, which made him a little confused, and summoned a staff officer and whispered to him for a while. The staff officer nodded, and walked away quickly.
After the tank was paralyzed, his attack was obviously frustrated, and he slowly retreated under the strafing fire of the machine guns at the head of the city. Only the devil's artillery was still roaring.
"The gang of the teaching team should go and pull a few more cannons to pay homage to the little devils! Aren't they protégés of the Son of Heaven? Huang Huamin, who was hiding in the improvised anti-artillery fortifications, whispered and scratched.
Only one company of the first battalion remained, and taking advantage of the short break in the battle, under the leadership of Niu Yi, began to build fortifications. There was no concept of artifacts in their eyes, and large bricks were piled up as strong defensive materials to form a solid and simple fortification.
The city wall of Nanjing itself has many ancient Tibetan arrangements, and with the operation of the Central Army for many years, it can also cope with the shelling of Yue himself.
It's just that the taste of being beaten passively makes people breathless.
The battle was still going on at a low intensity on the walls, and there was no end to it. The sound of gunfire has become one of the backgrounds of this moment.
The "buzzing" sound came from overhead.
"These little flies!" Huang Huamin scolded in a low voice, but still drilled out of the temporary fortifications for temporary rest, many soldiers have no air defense training, whenever the devil plane comes, no one instructs and leads, and the casualties are generally very large. He was a little worried that the first battalion was still fighting in the city.
"Lie down and hide!" As he kicked the tower, he shouted at the somewhat chaotic soldiers of the Central Army. Some of them have participated in air defense drills, but in practice, they have rarely encountered them. The casualties caused by the bombing and strafing of the planes in the previous few times were very large, and they were even more frightened and psychologically stressed.
Huang Huamin didn't stop, he needed to hurry up to the city tower to help the local militia soldiers who might have never seen an airplane.
But as soon as he climbed the tower, he saw a plane dragging black smoke and falling in front of the tower, kicking up dust and debris from the broken arm to splash onto the tower. In the blink of an eye, he saw Niu Yi himself indulging in the anti-aircraft machine gun that had just shot down the plane.
"Sure enough, it's still in stock!" Huang Huamin's hanging heart relaxed, and he secretly guessed the origin of the first battalion in his heart.
A total of three twin M2HB large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns were placed on the head of the city. Meng Xiang had long known that when the Central Army faced the planes of the Chinese army, the vast majority of them were passively beaten. It was not possible to count on others, and when the first battalion came, it brought three anti-aircraft machine guns. In the trading house in the city, there were also three 40-mm Type 34 Bofors anti-aircraft guns, but because the position of the first battalion had not been fixed, they were never delivered.
Now, guarding the city gate, the merchant house is specially not far from the Guanghua Gate, so it is very convenient to transport ammunition, and the reason why the general-purpose machine gun was quickly replenished before was also because of this.
Taking into account the air defense of the city, three anti-aircraft machine guns were dragged over early, because the ammunition could only be replenished by itself, so they did not show up before.
The city was cheering when the military plane lost one plane, but the two planes next to it immediately turned around and pounced on this side. Machine gun bullets hit the city, splattering clouds of masonry dust.
Niu Yi also unceremoniously turned the muzzle of the gun to shoot, and at the same time that the anti-aircraft machine gun that Niu Yi was making sounded, the perimeter of the two simple fortifications that formed a triangle with it was withdrawn, and the roar of the anti-aircraft machine gun sounded at the same time. Three twin anti-aircraft machine guns were aimed at the plane on the left at the same time, and black smoke immediately rose from the plane. Without waiting for the pilot to parachute, it exploded and disintegrated directly in the air.
The other plane swayed from side to side, trying to dodge and avoid being the next target, but the six 12.7mm barrels turned their guns on it in an instant. The interwoven network of firepower was particularly dazzling in the dusk, directly enveloping the plane.
"Boom!" There was a plane that disintegrated in the air, and the white umbrella of the pilot who had parachuted early fell swaying outside the city, and when the rescue soldiers who had prepared in advance arrived, they only saw the body of the pilot with the upper body left.
There was another cheer at the head of the city, and a plane was hovering in the distance outside the city. After circling twice, the last one swooped over, and when he was far away, he threw the bomb, and the habit of the dive was that the aerial bomb still hit the battlements in front of an anti-aircraft machine gun. But when it pulled up, its tail was also hit by Niu Yi's machine gun at the same time. It shook a few times, and finally flew back with the black smoke rising high.
The record of shooting down three planes and wounding one of them boosted the morale of the city.
"Transfer!" Huang Huamin shouted loudly, and without his reminder, the soldiers of the first battalion had already rushed forward and dragged the anti-aircraft machine gun company to another place. Not long after walking out, the devil's shells arrived. An anti-aircraft machine gun that had not had time to withdraw was affected, and several of the carrying soldiers fell to the ground.
"Protect the anti-aircraft machine gun!" At this time, Yi Anhua, who came to inquire about it, waved his hand, and a group of soldiers behind him swarmed up, some of them used their bodies to protect the front of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and the others worked together to directly lift the anti-aircraft machine gun and move it away quickly.
The army attacking under the city was fierce at this time, and another wave of attacks began. Three more tanks were at the front, followed by a large number of soldiers.
"Try to hit a tank with an anti-aircraft machine gun!" Xie Chengrui, who also rushed over at the same time, suddenly remembered that when he was in France, he had heard about anti-aircraft machine guns hitting tanks. He wanted to try it, and if it worked, there was no doubt that there was another trick against the devil tank.
Niu Yi hesitated slightly, but then made a gesture, and the anti-aircraft machine gun that had been repositioned turned the muzzle at the same time, and fired directly at the three tanks that were slowly advancing in the distance.
The frontal armor of the 89 Douding tank may not be easy to penetrate, but it poses some threat to the armor in weak areas such as the top and sides.
After a series of clanging sounds, black smoke came out of one tank, and one tank stopped moving.
"Ah......" was accompanied by the screams of the infantry behind the tank, the anti-aircraft machine gun is not very effective against the tank, but against the infantry, the ultra-high rate of fire is directly impossible to hide.
A large-caliber heavy machine gun bullet hit the body, not a piercing, but directly punched a large hole, and even directly cut the person in half, and the blood mist directly enveloped the entire battlefield, and the miserable shouts were endless. A large number of the following infantry were faced with the bullets of the large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, and they could only shatter into pieces of flesh and fly to all corners of the battlefield.
