797. Focus on the future
"The second battalion seized the 187 heights in the left front, the third battalion was ready to intersperse and divide, and the two companies of the first battalion defended the southwest flank of Tianmo Mountain, preventing the little devil dog from jumping over the wall and turning back to attack the Tianmo Mountain Heights. The guard company immediately mounted its horse and charged the brigade that the enemy was dragging behind! ”
Two kilometers east of the railway, a hill with a specific target, it was no longer clear in the darkness. The three battalions of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment of the 1st Division of the Flying Dragon have all been interspersed in place.
After the regiment commander Jing Zhongcheng lowered his voice and explained the tactics clearly, the two small devils of the brigade who retreated to the west had already crossed cover and came over to this side. More than 2,000 people moved westward in three columns, and although they were all infantry, they were very fast.
Because he wanted to fight a rout, Jing Zhongcheng let his troops get out of the open and let half of the enemy go, preparing to charge behind for a while, cutting off a tail.
Unexpectedly, he had just done it here, and hundreds of cavalry suddenly appeared in the northeast, and the bullets fired from light machine guns and submachine guns made bright arcs in the night sky, and the bullets pierced the void and made a "Xiuxiu" howling sound that made people shudder!
"The second battalion immediately opened fire and struck the enemy's ribs, dividing the enemy in two!" Jing Zhongcheng really regretted that he had known that there was still a unit to participate in the war, so he should have given the attack order earlier: "Fuck, the third machine gun regiment of the third division came up to take advantage!" ”
Jing Zhongcheng's estimate was right, because the other party's weapon was the same as his own, so it must be his own person. But there were only four machine-gun regiments in total, and their own team was on their side. The other two regiments were near Pyongyang and one near the Yalu River. Now it can only be the 3rd Machine Gun Regiment of the 3rd Division!
Of course, this was not a regiment rushing up, but a battalion of more than 700 people sent by Liu Zhiliang according to Bai Shujie's order. They had been hiding behind the enemy and were specifically tasked with securing the southeast flank of Mt. Tianmo. Now that the enemy has completely withdrawn from the range of Tianmo Mountain, they have to see the enemy off.
The little devil is a three-way column to the west, and the enemy first appears behind the troops, and then a powerful firepower suddenly appears on the waist of his own marching army, and the entire little devil's troops are suddenly embarrassed, and they are stunned on the spot!
In the eyes of the little devil, this is falling into the enemy's encirclement, and if it is not done well, it will be wiped out. Especially those who rushed up from the buttocks, all of them turned out to be "machine gun cavalry", and the marching infantry could not resist at all, so they could only desperately run forward and flee for their lives.
Now I can barely see my fingers, and the battle started so suddenly that I can't judge the specific situation of the enemy, and naturally I don't know how big the enemy's encirclement is.
In the face of this sudden state, the little devil has only one thought left: run forward desperately! If you escape, you will be lucky, and if you are found by a bullet, you should die.
With the enemy fleeing for their lives in a panic, there was no way for the battle to continue, and it could only end hastily. A very short strangulation that lasted only three minutes.
Go into the jungle at night and hunt for the remnants of the enemy, unless you're tired of living.
Liu Zhiliang's battalion came suddenly and left strangely. With a shout: "Captain Jing, this is your defense area, we have to rush back to restore our lives, so we won't stay long, goodbye!" "In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Hearing this kind of cheap and obedient shouting, Jing Zhongcheng was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Xie Chongguang, this calf, is a bunch of bastards when he brings it out!" These deflated calves are really not things, they killed people and let Lao Tzu collect the corpses here! ”
Xie Chongguang is the commander of the 3rd Machine Gun Regiment of Liu Zhiliang's 3rd Division, and Jing Zhongcheng is a brother in life and death. His men slaughtered here, then disappeared with a roar.
Because there is no need for weapons and ammunition from little devils, Bai Shujie's troops are most disgusted by cleaning up the battlefield. It's a pity to throw it away, it's a burden to take it back, and you have to send someone to the rear, it's really a lot of trouble!
Bai Shujie received a telegram from Shi Liancheng on the battle situation, and it was already the next morning: "In the defensive battle of Tianmo Mountain, more than 90 enemies were killed. That night, the two brigades were completely defeated, and after a simple clean-up of the scene, more than 400 enemy soldiers were killed again. More than 40 people were lightly wounded by our unit, most of them were wounded by stray bullets at night. ”
The biggest gain this time was that a new type of rail armored vehicle sent out by the little devils in the morning to conduct reconnaissance or a test was captured in Khanpuri at the beginning. A squad of devils who followed the armored car was naturally all captured, and dozens of free laborers were added to the prisoner camp!
It's also very simple to say.
When the large army had not yet entered Korea, Bai Shujie was worried that the enemy would blow up the railway bridges in the territory, so he ordered the two rail armored cars captured by Chen Jie to urgently go south.
Because the enemy appeared so suddenly, the little devil gendarmes and the two devil policemen along the railway line did not know who was coming. The only thing they saw was the Empire's newest armored vehicles, which had just left here.
So, at each station, the two armored vehicles were warmly welcomed. The only abnormality is that as soon as the welcome person gets out of the car, he disarms all the gendarmes and policemen, and then bundles them up and locks them up in a dark room.
These black rooms were originally used to detain those gangsters or anti-Japanese elements. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Empire's armored vehicles came, all the people who were originally imprisoned in the dark room were released, and the Imperial gendarmes and police were imprisoned instead.
It took two days for the two armored vehicles to clean up all the main roads and branch railways of the railway, and a total of 129 members of the gendarmerie of the little devils and 356 policemen of the second devil were captured.
17 small oil depots were seized, and various materials were seized and not counted. Anyway, all the material warehouses at the railway station have been sealed.
It was not until the follow-up 1st Machine Gun Regiment of the 1st Division of Shi Liancheng came in that the two armored vehicles temporarily completed the task of sweeping the railway and began to patrol the railway.
As for the outward radiation sweep along the railway, it is already a combat mission of a large army. According to later statistics, during the surprise attack for three consecutive days, more than 900 little devil gendarmes and more than 2,700 police officers were arrested in the occupied area.
In particular, the Pyongyang Police Station was exterminated, and four 75 field guns and four 75 mountain guns were obtained. Five Type 92 heavy machine guns, 49 crooked light machine guns, more than 1,300 Type 38 rifles, and a lot of other messes were seized.
The little devil is like that, if you really want to beat him, he will be honest for a long time. Just like now, the originally arrogant Captain Moriki Isro Osa, when he saw that there was only one and a half of his two brigades left, his heart was half cold.
It's a pity that he is only now beginning to regret his recklessness, and it is too late. Unexpectedly, after the telegram was sent, less than two hours later, His Excellency the division commander actually sent a telegram back: "The battle to reconnoiter the enemy's situation has ended, and the whole army has retreated to Kaesong, and immediately build fortifications and hold on to the spot!" ”
Moriki Ishiro Osa is not a fool: His Excellency the division commander actually used a wing to conduct fire reconnaissance, which means that the enemy in the north is not ordinarily strong. If you knew this, you should be careful and careful!
Whether the little devil takes regret medicine or not, Bai Shujie doesn't care. Shi Liancheng sent a telegram stating that the enemy had all retreated, and that it was enough that his goal had been achieved.
Bai Shujie is actually very busy now, and he is busy that no one else can replace.
It turned out that Payne, the Texas Oil Company, had news yesterday that the weapons purchased from Hungary had officially been shipped, and substantial progress had been made in the negotiations on the Polish side.
Moreover, the matter of gun barrel processing is very smooth, and now there are two manufacturers who have begun to process gun barrels. The diameters range from 20mm, 37mm, 40mm, 75mm, all the way to 410mm, and 400 pieces of each type are processed. The only requirement is to pay in cash, not on credit.
Bai Shujie naturally agreed with his mouth full of words, without a second word.
Payne then suggested that Christmas was just over a month away, and that he hoped to let him go back to spend the holidays with his family.
"Mr. Payne, I have two things I want you to help with." Bai Shujie finally decided to meet the other party in person: "The first thing is that I want to make some deals with your country's military. Of course, as for how you talk about it, I don't care. I would like to receive a direct quote from the military of your country. ”
"Second, you have been in our country for a long time, and you have traveled to many countries and have seen a lot. It should be known that my country is currently technologically backward, so it will be bullied by the Japanese dwarf. I would like to ask you to help bring a group of ship operation trainees to your country's naval academy for further study. ”
"Honorable Mr. Commander, I personally express my sympathy for your country being invaded by the Japanese." Payne doesn't look like a lie: "I'll do my best to ask these two questions you asked." However, I would like to say, Mr. Commander, you have just admitted that your country is technologically backward. What do you have to trade with our military? ”
Bai Shujie didn't speak, but smiled and took out a set of drawings, then took out one and handed it to Payne and said, "This gift will be given to you." I'm sure that if you military officials aren't stupid, you'll be able to know how much it's worth! ”
"Oh, the cake buyer!" Payne took the drawings and looked at them and immediately exclaimed, "Dear Mr. Commander, are you saying that this thing can also be sold for money?" I'm really sorry, isn't this the Browning machine gun in our country? It was the one that shone during the First World War! ”
Bai Shujie was not in a hurry at all, but said slowly: "Mr. Payne, I think you are mistaken. You're talking about the Browning M1919A4, which has proven to be on the heavy side and has problems with the continuity of fire. The worst thing is that the structure is complicated, and even the replacement of the barrel needs to enter the repair workshop, which is simply a waste gun! ”
"However, Mr. Payne will understand that this is my gift to you, as soon as you turn over the drawings in your hand. The Browning M1919A4 machine gun composition on the reverse side is just a comparison for your military. ”
"The heavy machine gun I designed is not only very lightweight, but also can change the barrel at any time in just 15 seconds. In particular, the design of the ammunition feeding method can ensure strong continuous firepower, which can affect the final victory or defeat on the battlefield. ”
In fact, Bai Shujie's so-called design is actually a makeover of the Browning M1919A6 heavy machine gun in the United States in the future, and the "copycat" is carried out to the end.
The Browning M1919A6 heavy machine gun had a fatal problem: after firing for 5 minutes with a rate of fire of 150 rounds / min, the barrel began to get hot.
If you are ready to shoot continuously for about half an hour, the average rate of fire can only be 75 rounds per minute, which is much worse than the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the little devil. Otherwise, the barrel will have to be replaced, and it takes 3 minutes to replace the barrel!
Change the barrel in three minutes, that's a fart fight!
By the time you finish changing the barrel, a fierce firefight will be over long ago, and a battle will be completely lost!
It can be said that during the entire World War II, the most wasteful heavy machine gun was the Browning M1919A6 heavy machine gun, which was inferior to even the most old-fashioned Uncle Maxim!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
