Such a long distance has exceeded the shooting range of their rifles. In their eyes, the machine gun position is just the size of a small black bean. It is too difficult to hit the Japs' machine gunner with one shot from such a long distance.
At this time, behind the 132 regiment's position, Xia Yang looked at the Japanese machine gun position in the scope. After one machine gunner was knocked down, another machine gunner immediately took his position, but continued to shoot.
But as soon as he touched the machine gun, he was shot in the head by Xia Yang's bullet.
Relying on the ultra-long range of the Barrett sniper rifle in his hand, Xia Yang successfully suppressed the heavy machine gun firepower on the Japanese flank at a range of more than 800 meters.
The Japanese troops charging on the flank lost their advantage in firepower because they lost the cover of the heavy machine gun position.
The machine gun position of the 132nd Regiment, which had been suppressed, roared again at this time.
They are equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, which are much better than the Type 92 heavy machine guns in terms of firepower continuity. At this time, without the firepower of the Japanese heavy machine guns to suppress them, they immediately began to show off their power.
The two Maxim heavy machine guns on the flanks were the first to output sufficient firepower to the charging Japanese army. The jet of bullets was like a fiery red whip, lashing the Japanese infantry hard.
As for the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, no one dared to touch those heavy machine guns anymore.
Because no matter who it is, as long as they get close to the heavy machine gun, Xia Yang will immediately blow their heads off with bullets.
At this moment, the four brigades and three regiments that had already detoured to the east and west sides of the Japanese army were ready to harass the Japanese army's flanks.
"Regiment seat, the ambush position of the Japs is ahead. I can see the butts of their mortar operators." He Changxing's soldiers ran over and said to He Changxing.
He Changxing's whole body was lying on the ground. He picked up the telescope and could vaguely see the moving figures of the Japanese army between the gaps in the trees.
They should be organizing a charge. Their tanks and vehicles were destroyed just now, but this did not have much impact on their morale.
These Japanese soldiers, under the cover of mortars and own artillery, used infantry again and again to launch a fierce attack on the 178th Division standing on the road.
"When these little devils charge, we will steal their butts." He Changxing said.
The soldier behind him has cocked his rifle. As for the more than ten automatic rifles equipped in their regiment, they were used as light machine guns at this time, mixed among the infantry.
When attacking the Japanese army's flank, these automatic rifles can provide very ferocious firepower. These automatic rifles can even provide as much firepower as light machine guns at medium and close ranges.
Five minutes later, the organized Japanese infantry stepped out of their position in the woods and began to charge the 178th Brigade on the road under the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns.
Although the 178th Brigade has successfully eliminated the Japanese tanks with the help of the sniper team. But the Japs' artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns and other firepower cannot be easily dealt with by them.
Under these fire suppressions, the 178th Division, which lacked bunkers and was mostly concentrated on both sides of the highway, also suffered heavy losses.
On the road and in the fields on both sides, the bodies of national soldiers can be seen everywhere. There were many wounded, huddled in the trenches and screaming.
However, relying on the fire support provided by the rear artillery battalion, they have slowly used the craters left by the Japanese army to establish a temporary position hundreds of meters deep.
But for the more than 5,000 people trapped here, the depth of this position is still too narrow. They must press forward to gain a position in the woods.
The Japanese troops ambushing on both sides were trying to continuously compress the 178th Division's living space, forcing them to move closer to the road so that the aviation squadron could bomb them again.
Seeing that the troops organized by the Japanese army had rushed out of the position, Lin Shaowei shouted: "The little devils are coming again, kill them!"
Although Lin Shaowei usually looks polite and polite, when he goes to the battlefield, he also swears a lot.
Zhao Tiancheng looked sternly and pointed his sniper rifle at the Japanese commanding team leader. As long as the kid is holding a command knife, he will attack first.
The other members of the sniper team also used their sniper rifles to focus on sniping.??, he was still a Chinese soldier, and he was very tired both physically and mentally.
They are all waiting. The Japanese brigade led by Nagase is waiting for the second round of bombing by the aviation squadron, as well as their reinforcements.
The soldiers of the 178th Division are also waiting for the Third Army in the city to discover the situation here and provide them with support.
The Japanese artillery attack began again, and they did not intend to let the soldiers of the 178th Division have a good rest.
Unlike the artillery battalion of the 178th Division, the Japanese artillery wing has very sufficient ammunition and larger-caliber artillery. But in the artillery battalion of 1780, each artillery was equipped with only a few dozen rounds of ammunition.
In the more than two hours of fighting just now, although Xia Yang had been very economical in the use of artillery shells, the artillery battalion's artillery shells had still been exhausted.
In that fierce battle, the consumption of ammunition is often huge.
It was not only the artillery battalion of the 178th Division that was in trouble at this time, but also the soldiers who were fighting.
Because the 178th Division is not truly elite, their ammunition is also very limited. Even the total amount of ammunition of the entire division is not as good as Xia Yang's fourth brigade.
The fierce battle just now has consumed nearly one-third of their ammunition. If they cannot enter Jiaxiang County, they will need to replenish their ammunition. The Japanese army was able to run out of ammunition and food just through consumption.
Lin Shaowei is also well aware of this situation.
He called Xia Yang again and asked: "Commander Xia, how many shells are there in the artillery battalion now? We need to make a gap in the Japanese ambush circle and then break out. If this continues, our ammunition will Once it is exhausted, we will have no choice but to be slaughtered by the Japanese army."
Xia Yang said: "Commander, we only have more than a hundred artillery shells left now. On average, each cannon can only fire a dozen or so shells. But don't worry, I will solve the problem of artillery shells. You can now consider firing from the east." Break through from the side, I have two regiments of troops there to meet you."
"Brother! Thank you this time!" Lin Shaowei said to Xia Yang, although he had no way of knowing where Xia Yang got the extra shells.
More than a hundred rounds of artillery shells sounds like a lot, but if those mountain cannons are fired, it only takes a few minutes.
¡° Moreover, the area where they fought was very wide, and the level of bombardment by more than a hundred artillery shells was not enough to tear a gap in the Japanese defense line.
But facing the current situation, Lin Shaowei had no other choice but to trust Xia Yang and the elite Fourth Brigade in his hands.
The roar of bombers came over again.
Lin Shaowei raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. The Japanese bomber formation had replenished ammunition and arrived at the battlefield again.
Compared with the surging Japanese infantry charges, Lin Shaowei and the soldiers of the 178th Division were actually more afraid of the Japanese fighter jets and bombers.
Because when the little devil's infantry charges, you can also use the gun in your hand to attack and kill them with bullets.
But these fighter jets are different. They fly too fast, and Lin Shaowei's 178th Division does not have anti-aircraft artillery troops, nor is it equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and other equipment.
They can only use the rifles in their hands, or light machine guns and submachine guns, to attack the Japanese fighter planes that bombed them. It's just frustrating that this attack is often ineffective.
This is a huge blow to morale!
They passed by at a low altitude, almost flying only a few dozen meters above the ground. Then they pointed the nose of the aircraft at the ground, directed at the soldiers on the 178th Division's position, and fired with machine guns while dropping aerial bombs.
Zhao Tiancheng was hiding in a bomb crater. He could clearly see the Japanese fighter jets passing over his head at a very fast speed.
It¡¯s not like he never thought about using the Barrett sniper rifle in his hand to shoot at Japanese fighter jets.
Theoretically, their Barrett sniper rifle is powerful enough to destroy Japanese fighter jets after hitting them.
But in actual operation, it is too difficult.
The plane is moving too fast. When you look at it from a distance, it seems to be flying very slowly. But in fact, their cruising speed in the air can reach four to five hundred kilometers an hour. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
