Chapter 897 Purely self-defense

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It¡¯s completely unintentional.  Captain Hou, who was commanding his men to move aside, accidentally became the target of Watanabe's attack.  After watching for so long, if you still don¡¯t know that Hou Wanshan is the leader, then Watanabe has failed too much.

    At this time, Hou Wanshan was still immersed in the joy of having succeeded in the surprise attack of Youlian. He was raiding the formation for Youlian and taking a break when suddenly someone shouted: "Company Commander! Be careful!" Then he saw a bright light in front of him.  Suddenly, someone came over a few meters away with a bright long knife.

    He grabbed the bayonet and tried to stop him. Unexpectedly, when he wanted to rest after the fierce battle, one of his legs became stiff and he couldn't use any strength. He sat down on the ground.  It's too late to get up again.

    Instinctively, he pulled out his pistol and shot Watanabe.

    The company is the grassroots organization of the army. In the process of Zhang Hanqing leading the troops, no matter what word he uses, the importance he attaches to company-level units cannot be overstated.  From "the branch is built on the company" to the most basic organization of the "soldier committee" in the political work system, Zhang Hanqing has worked hard on the construction of this level.

    As a company-level officer, the company commander¡¯s safety work can be regarded as having institutional arrangements: not only are there full-time guards, but they are also issued an imitation rifle.

    For Chinese people who are accustomed to watching anti-Japanese dramas, shell guns are no stranger to them.  But what they may not know is that long before the Anti-Japanese War, a large number of such pistols were in use in China.

    There is a document dated September 10, 1924, in which the Ministry of War signed a contract with the Tianjin German Merchant Shichang Company to purchase: "One thousand, seven hundred new German Mauser pistols with a caliber of 7.63 mm, a barrel of 96 mm, and a sight gauge of one thousand meters.  Together with the empty wooden handle and 500 bullets for each rod, one armor (note: fake) bullet, one spring, one bow spring and one rose plate, the net price of each rod was 70 yuan, totaling 111,000 yuan.  Nine thousand yuan."

    The barrel of the box gun in this piece is only 3.77 inches, which is quite special.

    These guns are the basis for China¡¯s imitation self-defense pistols.

    With the good relationship between China and Germany, China can easily obtain production rights.  This German shell gun has undergone almost no internal changes during its forty-year history of mass production, so it can be said that the original design is almost perfect and there is nothing to improve.

    After the introduction of the Chinese army, it became a standard weapon for self-defense among officers. It is favored by officers of the People's Army for its powerful power, reliable action and ease of use.

    It is relatively simple to manufacture, and the cost is not high, so it has quickly become popular equipment up to the company commander level.  What Hou Wanshan used was such a pistol.

    Since the long rifle used by the Japanese infantry is about three inches longer than the "Han" rifle commonly used by the People's Army, it is also equipped with a bayonet, so the Chinese army will suffer a bit.  If there wasn't something else to add to the finale, I would be sorry for Zhang Hanqing's time travel.

    So Zhang Hanqing tried his best to avoid physical combat.  After the military reform in 1927, the infantry company not only had a machine gun squad, but also a firepower platoon of 22 people, equipped with four 37mm combat anti-cannons.  With such equipment, as long as the tactics are correct, it will be a bit difficult to defend the opponent's three companies, but in one-on-one, no company in the world is afraid of it.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is not a loss, if it is still to the point of fighting with a bayonet in the end.  At least at the front lines of both sides, the Japanese army obviously suffered a big loss in the early firepower game.

    However, this time the bayonet fight was obviously at a disadvantage for the Japanese army, because the Chinese People's Army did not follow his rules, but instead released cold guns while bayoneting, and they also had back-ups.

    It¡¯s just that, the Japanese army has been angered.  Watanabe, who was hit in the chest at close range, could not raise the knife again because after finishing the shot, Hou Wanshan found out the identity of the opponent's lieutenant and shot again. This shot killed Watanabe.

    Regiment captains and group captains are the cornerstone of the Japanese military organization. Because the entire regiment is generally recruited from a certain place, the Japanese military regiments also have a tradition of calling them by their own region in addition to their numbers.  They generally had a troubling relationship. Watanabe's death made the Japanese army not only sad and angry, but also resentful of the People's Army's unreasonable behavior.  Soon, a small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Hou Wanshan.

    At this time, it has nothing to do with honor, only life and death.  Hou Wanshan could not carry so many bayonets by himself, so he could only use the only life-saving weapon in his hand - a pistol.

    Hou Wanshan was a little nervous at first, but then he thought: "I have killed three Japanese soldiers before, and now I have killed a lieutenant, which is enough. The Japanese army is so easy to fight now, kill one more and earn another." With this kind of thinking  Thoughts, his mood began to calm down.  One shot at a time, as easy as target shooting.

    This Mauser pistol has twenty rounds of magazine, which is theoretically enough to destroy more than one squad of enemies.  The few Japanese soldiers who came out first became the target of the gun. Seeing this "sharp shooter" method, the Japanese soldiers behind were trembling for the first time and dared not move forward.

    These are twoAfter many sacrifices, the Chinese and American troops came to the conclusion: "The best way to fight hand-to-hand combat is to use a pistol against the Japanese bayonet." That was a bloody lesson.

    At the beginning (or should it be counted later?), the U.S. military also engaged in many hand-to-hand combats with the Japanese during the Pacific War, especially in the jungles of the Pacific islands. The U.S. military's assault rifles had shorter barrels and suffered disadvantages when using bayonets in hand-to-hand combat. In the initial close combat,  Long burst shots are often used to make up for its shortcomings.

    When the Japanese army carried out night attacks and other operations, they were mostly surprise attacks, leaving the U.S. military with no time to use dense barrage to cut off the Japanese army in front of the battle line.  Once in a melee, inexperienced soldiers firing with assault rifles often cause greater casualties to their own side than to the enemy.

    In Betio, the US military commander Colonel Shop once threatened that if any soldier fired indiscriminately again, he would throw his gun into the sea and never fire a bullet again!

    Hou Wanshan perfectly demonstrated this conclusion with practice in advance.

    The pistol is short in length and can be easily turned to shoot in any direction. The shooting postures can also be varied. It has a small charge. Even if it hits the first opponent at close range, it is not easy to penetrate and injure the people behind it. Its range of power is far greater than that of a bayonet.

    As for reloading, if the magazine is empty of bullets and there is a bayonet approaching, then you can only accept your fate.  However, the US military's standard hand|gun has seven rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to the ability to fire seven swords in succession.  In a hand-to-hand combat, few people have the opportunity to fire seven swords in a row. This probability is too low.

    "The People's Army officer's pistol has twenty rounds of ammunition, which is enough.

    Taking advantage of the stunned Japanese army, Hou Wanshan quickly retreated.  Despite his heroic performance just now, after meeting his teammates, he realized that his back was soaked.

    The Japanese army, which had lost its captain, launched a desperate attack, which gave the People's Army's backhand a chance to calmly exert its force.  Originally, the People's Army engaged in hand-to-hand combat just to allow the Japanese troops to get closer and gather more. Otherwise, the few bullets would not be able to withstand the consumption of the two sides' attacks.

    Now, due to the impact of this unexpected incident, the Japanese army's response has been in line with the military deployment of the 299th Regiment Headquarters, so Hou Wanshan Company and the subsequent Second Company quickly retreated to allow the swarming Japanese troops to squeeze in.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
