Chapter 241: The End (5)

@@@@

After the sound of cannons came from the sky, An Guoliang's face changed suddenly, and there was a firefight! Listening to the sound of heavy artillery, you can guess that ten out of ten are Japanese, and it is very likely that they took the lead in seizing the county seat, otherwise there is no need for such dense shells to deal with more than a hundred cavalry without heavy weapons to defend the city.

An Guoliang, who was anxious about the safety of Mei Sheng and the others, led the main force to whip again and again, and when he arrived, his eyes were bloodshot, and he saw more than a dozen corpses of war horses and soldiers lying on the field, and the grass around them was dyed red. Mei Sheng also hung up the color, his left arm was pierced by a bullet, and it looked like he was killed by a 38-type rifle, but fortunately, the military doctor said that the bullet was not in again, as long as the bleeding was stopped and bandaged, it would be safe and sound.

"Commander, I have been delayed, if I had taken a step earlier, I would not have died so many brothers!"

Mei Sheng held his arm wrapped like a zongzi, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at An Guoliang's eyes, the latter patted him and didn't speak, turned his head and beckoned: "All dismount, set up the radio to contact the headquarters, the third company is a reserve to take care of the horses to protect the baggage, and the rest will be used as infantry to siege the city ()!" ”

According to the Wehrmacht's combat regulations, the cavalry can leave on their own without the advantage of mobility, but this time everyone knows that they must come with bullets! Because this is Shandong, the offshore area! Once it was rooted by the Japanese soldiers, the powerful Japanese Combined Fleet would continue to send soldiers in a steady stream of energy, even if the German ** team participated, it would be very troublesome, in case Germany did not leave, it would still be impossible to ensure the safety of the Yellow River estuary!

So at any cost, you have to forcibly take the county seat!

The signal corps immediately used hemp rope to connect the several short rods they had brought, and then tied up the radio antennas and erected them high, and the signal corps struggled to shake the handles to provide electricity, hoping to contact the command headquarters in Nanjing as soon as possible.

Before the communication signal was connected, An Guoliang came to the front line, and his expression gradually became solemn through the telescope, because the Japanese soldiers had already arranged two Haqikaisi heavy machine guns on the city tower, but the 75mm rapid-fire field gun position could not be seen, and it should be deployed behind the city wall. On the other hand, the lightly armed attack only carried 6 80mm mortars, 36 grenadiers and 8 light machine guns, and if it were not supplemented with new projectile packs, it would not have even reached the city walls.

"Commander? How to fight? ”

Several battalion and company commanders scratched their heads a little, although the cavalry also had to carry out basic infantry training, but it rarely involved infantry tactics, from the beginning of the formation of the cavalry regiment was around rapid raids, cutting and other tactics in the exercises, now to be an infantry envoy, of course everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

"There are heavy machine guns on the castle tower, you have to spread them out as much as possible, the more you drive them, the better! The artillery goes to the dirt bag on the left, we can shoot in a curved way, and we can hit it by hiding behind, as long as we lure the cannon away, Lao Tzu will report to the staff and give you a great credit! The light machine gun attracts and fires the heavy machine gun to cover everyone's attack. ”

"Bend your waist deeply! Run as fast as you can! I'm all ready for the grenadiers, and I'm going to climb to 500 meters for Lao Tzu to blast out those two heavy machine guns! After An Guoliang deployed, he deliberately gathered the grenadiers to explain well, this is the biggest trump card in his hand, as long as the grenadiers can blow up two heavy machine guns, this battle is half of the victory.

Seeing that everyone had a task, but he and Sanlian were not arranged, Mei Sheng's anxious mouth foamed: "Regiment leader, what about us?" ”

"Get ready for a assault ()! If Lao Tzu can blow up the city gate, you will rush into the city for me as soon as possible to kill the artillery positions and give full play to the advantage of submachine guns! Mei Sheng didn't speak anymore when he got the task, he pressed the bullet into it with all his might, and scolded every time he pressed it, so that he would be relieved of his anger only after slaughtering all the Japanese soldiers.

"Spread out."

"Twenty years ago, we lost, and tens of thousands of unjust souls in Port Arthur are on the other side of the sea! Nine years ago, we watched others fight on the land, and the people of Liaodong suffered countless casualties! Now across from us is Japan, which is the culprit twice! The elite of the Japanese army is well known, but Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu is the National Defense Army! This is our land! Even if it is two-legged, Lao Tzu is also the master of standing and peeing! ”

"Defend the territory and defend the land, and swear to the death!"

In just a few words, An Guoliang completely boosted his morale, especially the brothers and war horses who were killed by shells in the distance, which made the soldiers of the cavalry regiment grit their teeth.

"Rush!"

The cavalry of a battalion took the lead in bending down to pull away the skirmishing line, and the infantry comrades held down the steel helmets and lowered their heads and ran violently, their movements were not as skilled as the infantry, but their speed was not much worse, and they ran hundreds of meters away in an instant.

"Boom." The Japanese artillery company opened fire, and six 75-mm rapid-fire field guns threw shells thousands of meters away at a rate of five rounds per minute, and more than a dozen clusters of fire emitting orange poisonous smoke suddenly appeared in front of the battlefield.

Due to the lack of long-range firepower, the fighters had to rush forward against shells and explosions, and the whistling fragments and steel balls spread out four or five meters from the center of the explosion.

After using the charge to attract the enemy artillery, the fighters of the mortar squad carried the cannon and went around the back of the dirt bag ().

When the fastest soldiers finally crossed the artillery blockade, the terrible clatter took over the battlefield, and although the Haqikes heavy machine guns were inferior to the Maxim, they were still the greatest threat to the infantry when defending the city.

The Japanese machine gunners, who had the most experience in the use of heavy machine guns, showed how far apart the strict training and the grass squad were, the two machine guns crossed to form a dense line of fire, the two heavy machine guns alternately ravaged repeatedly, and they did not shoot blindly, they kept firing along the two lines like a textbook. Whether it was a Madsen, a Han-1 machine gun or a grenadier, to ensure suppression, it was necessary to enter at least 700 meters, and in the face of this extremely difficult road, the fierce fire of the Japanese soldiers made the soldiers grit their teeth and crawl forward little by little.

"Machine gun."

The machine gunner of the second squad was a big man, with a big waist and round shoulders, and he could still run fast, and when he heard the squad leader shouting, he rushed to the side of the dead horse with an arrow step, and used the corpse of the war horse as a cover to quickly deploy the light machine gun.

The machine gun fired!

The chirping bullets hit the firing holes of the Japanese heavy machine gun bunker, forcing the Haggakes heavy machine gun to pause hissing, but the other machine gun quickly turned around.

At this critical moment, the mortar company behind the earthen bag finally wielded its might, the 80mm mortar shell was already equivalent to the 75mm rapid-fire gun, and the TNT yellow explosives were not inferior to the Shimose gunpowder, and suddenly fireballs were set off all around the city wall.

The flames and smoke columns of the new smokeless cartridges were not too noticeable, and the curved fire was carried out behind the mountain packs, and the Japanese artillery observers did not react at first, and it took a moment to find the target position. But the problem is that he can't see any targets even on the city wall, and can only judge from the green smoke that there should be an enemy artillery position, so Yasuo Oshima jumped at his feet and ordered the command knife to be pointed over there: "Yaga, suppress them!" ”

The four 75-mm rapid-fire field guns quickly jumped to the muzzle, and the remaining two were still bombarding the infantry, but the frontal pressure dropped sharply with the four guns missing, and more and more soldiers broke through the death line.

"Quick, fast ()."

The two grenadiers climbed the tree and immediately began to adjust the barrel, and in order not to expose themselves, the grenadiers did not step on the footboard with their feet, as usual, but let the deputy lying on the ground press it with his hands, and he himself measured the range and loaded the ammunition.

Bang.

The 50-mm fragmentation grenade fell straight on the city wall, and the two unprepared Japanese soldiers, apparently not expecting the enemy's infantry to have artillery among them, were immediately blown up in blood.

However, after only three grenades were fired, the Japanese soldiers found the grenadiers that were firing, a row of bullets pounced and hit the trunk of the big tree with a crackling sound, and small mud pillars were raised around the grenadiers' prostrates, and the Type 38 rifle had an obvious advantage in long distances, so that the grenadiers could not raise their heads at all.

Seeing this, the machine gunners of the second squad immediately swept back with light machine guns, and a few shuttles of bullets also caused sparks to splash in front of the battlements, and the grenadiers took advantage of this opportunity to adjust and move a few seats again, and began a new round of strikes. As more and more grenadiers pointed their cannons at the battlements, the entire county city wall was covered in explosions, especially after the two most threatening Haqikais heavy machine guns were taken care of, and dozens of grenades fell around the machine gun fort.

Rumble!

A grenade finally landed accurately from the top of the machine gun fort into the position, and the explosion at a distance killed all seven Japanese machine gunners, not to mention completely destroying the heavy machine gun.

Seeing that the enemy's machine gun fire was reduced by half, the soldiers jumped up and began to rush in the direction of the city gate, hoping to take this opportunity to rush under the city wall and blast open the city gate with explosive packs and grenades.

As long as the city gate is broken, no matter how powerful Japan is, it will be a dead end!

After losing a heavy machine gun, Yasuo Oshima's face changed a little, and from the opponent's military uniform and steel helmet, he already knew that this was the Chinese Defense Force in the Far East, which is now famous! What does the sudden appearance of a Wehrmacht cavalry on the territory of Shandong mean? In addition to the fact that Beiyang has no intention of fighting with lax defense, it shows that they have long been guarding themselves.

He was not afraid of the opponent's light machine guns, machine gun bullets could not break through the thick blue brick battlements, but the kind of small cannon that two people could operate made his eyes widen ().

Lightweight artillery ?!

The rifle can fire quickly outside the effective range, the power is greater than a grenade, the ballistic curve can bypass bunkers and trenches, how can the Chinese have such a thing? You must know that the Japanese standard 37mm infantry gun must be operated by at least three people, and it weighs hundreds of kilograms! Could it be the new German invention of ultralight artillery?

Yasuo Oshima naturally does not think that the Chinese made it themselves, in his eyes rifles and mountain artillery are already the best weapons that China can make, and this ingenious design must have been provided by Germany, with which they have a good relationship. If it weren't for the battlefield, he would have wanted to run up and take a closer look, but now he had to block the attack first! Seeing that more and more Chinese soldiers began to charge, the corners of his mouth smiled and waved his hand back.

Obviously, the squadron is not clear about the number of machine guns in its own brigade!

Seeing that one machine gun fort was finished, and the other was crushed by several light machine guns and grenadiers for a long time without reacting, Mei Sheng suddenly turned over and got on his horse regardless of the pain, and was ready to wait for the city gate to be blown open and rush in to wash the little radish heads in blood.

"Hurry! Come on! ”

Seeing his comrades rushing forward with a dense number of bullets, he became more and more anxious, and even shouted involuntarily! Although from time to time his comrades fell down and never got up again, the city gate was getting closer and closer in the wild run of his partners, he shouted and rode his horse and galled, and even thought about how to use the advantage of submachine gun fire after blowing up the city gate and rushing in.

At this time, the closed city gate suddenly cracked a thin crack, and An Guoliang's eyes were bloodshot almost instantly, and he screamed: "Not good! And heavy machine guns! Lie down, lie down! ”

But his voice could not reach the battlefield, a German-made Maxim machine gun quietly stretched out the barrel, this is still a high-end cargo captured in the Russo-Japanese War a few years ago, Yasuo Oshima is usually reluctant to use it, and now when the light machine gun finds that it has adjusted its muzzle, the dense bullets have swept towards the sprinting soldiers.
