    Chapter 157: Tit for tat (new book, please watch)

    "Hurry, hurricane, hurricane"

    After seeing the little Japanese infantry rushing up, the observation post on the defender's position blew the whistle instantly. For a while, the defender's position was filled with piercing whistles.

    Hearing the whistle, the soldiers knew that the Japanese infantry was coming, and hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for battle.

    Heavy machine guns were brought up one after another, and light machine guns were also set up!  The rifles in the hands of the soldiers are also loaded with bullets, their crosshairs are aimed, and they are ready to fire at any time!

    The first thing to fire was not the rifle, but the heavy machine gun that had been prepared for a long time. Although the Japanese infantry was still 300 meters away, a dozen heavy machine guns equipped by the defenders opened fire.

    Although Li Guoyao only prepared six heavy machine guns for each regiment, the entire city of Nanjing was at war these days. Due to the chaos during the retreat, many weapons and equipment were lost in the city. In addition, Li Guoyao later ordered people to  All the arsenals in the city were taken over, and then the weapons and equipment of each regiment were strengthened, so that the main force like the First Regiment was equipped with more than ten heavy machine guns, and even more light machine guns. The whole regiment  There are more than twenty sticks.

    ??The Yanshan defense line consists of left and right wings and frontal positions, with one regiment in each direction. The total number of heavy machine guns deployed on the forward positions alone is nearly 30.

    "Da da da"

    The dense bullets from the heavy machine guns immediately caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, and immediately interrupted the Japanese offensive that had just launched a charge. Seeing the surrounding comrades being continuously knocked down by the terrifying bullets fired from the opposite side, even those who pride themselves on Bushido spirit  The armed Japanese troops were also afraid.

    There is no way. Maybe many Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death as they say, but the power of heavy machine guns is different from that of the 38-gun.

    The caliber of the 38-inch cap is too small, and the power of the Sakamoto bullet used is also low. If it is hit in a non-fatal position, it is basically one shot and two holes. Some soldiers with high physical fitness will not leave the battlefield even if they are injured.  Keep fighting.

    ?????????????????? However, the caliber of a heavy machine gun is generally larger and has great destructive power. If it hits an arm or leg, it will basically break it directly. It is better to die on the spot. If you can't die, you can only watch yourself bleed to death.

    Seeing that the soldiers of the second brigade stopped when they rushed to a distance of 200 meters from the defenders' position, Takeda Shinichi was furious and immediately shouted: "Baga! Order the artillery to immediately move the man's gun."  The heavy machine gun destroyed it and ordered the second group to continue the attack."

    "Hai!"

    Following Takeda Shinichi¡¯s order, the Japs¡¯ artillery began roaring again, firing shells at the machine gun positions at the front!

    "Boom boom boom"

    When a heavy machine gun was blown into a pile of scrap metal by several consecutive rounds of artillery shells by the Japanese army, Zhang Tengjiao finally realized the Japanese army's intention and immediately ordered the machine gun position to be concealed. Later, he simply moved the heavy machine gun into a temporary bunker to ensure that it would not be  Destroyed by ground artillery fire.

    Under the cover of the artillery, the little Japanese quickly rushed to a place 150 meters away in front of the defenders' position, seemingly very close to the front line trenches!

    But such a close distance seemed to be a natural chasm. After the Japs entered the effective firing range of the defenders, in addition to the heavy machine guns continuing to fire, a large number of light machine gunners also opened fire.

    The light and heavy machine guns on the Guards' position seem to be arranged in a messy manner, but they are all carefully calculated by Li Guoyao. After all the light and heavy machine guns are fired, they will form cross fire, and the lethality will be at least three times greater than if they were lined up in a row.

    Regarding how to use light and heavy machine guns to maximize their power, Li Guoyao, a special forces commander who has received military education from later generations, knows best. In comparison, soldiers of this era are still in the exploratory stage.

    You must know that although heavy machine guns have appeared for a long time, they have not been put into the battlefield for a long time. It has only been twenty years now.

    In the beginning, heavy machine guns were used as first-line defense weapons, because the way of war at that time was different from now. At that time, the infantry of most countries conducted trench offensive and defensive warfare, that is, the soldiers on the attacking side launched a charge and crossed the gap between the trenches on both sides.  In the middle ground, reach the enemy trenches and eliminate the enemy in close combat.

    Therefore, during the charge, the attacking side suffered relatively large casualties and could easily be killed or wounded by the defending front-line infantry.

    Therefore, the troops of various countries at that time liked to place light and heavy machine guns directly in front of the position, in order to achieve the purpose of killing a large number of enemy effective forces.  However, in fact, this is not the case. The power of direct fire from light and heavy machine guns is very limited, not even as powerful as a rifle!

    Americans have doneAn experiment used 250 balloons to represent charging soldiers. The balloons were suspended at different heights. Each balloon was 2 meters apart and spread over an area of ??more than 100 meters wide and several meters deep. It was then fired by a skilled machine gun shooter.  Shoot from the front with a heavy machine gun from 400 meters away, with 250 rounds of ammunition.

    The results were astonishing. 250 bullets only hit 37 balloons, and many bullets hit the gaps between the balloons.  Moreover, the shooter has to re-aim every time he hits a balloon, which wastes valuable time while re-aiming. If it were a real battlefield at this time, the enemy would have already rushed to the front line.

    ¡°Then they placed machine guns on the sides of the 250 balloons, and the situation was completely different.  Looking at it, the difference is quite obvious. The 250 balloons have narrow fronts and long depths, which greatly increases the density of targets.

    The same shooter, the result is a massacre, many times a bullet can hit several balloons.  250 rounds of bullets hit 240 balloons.

    Therefore, only by using machine guns to form crossfire can the maximum power be exerted. If there are enough machine guns, the enemy will not be able to escape.

    Because of this, Li Guoyao took these into full consideration when arranging the position. Every machine gun position on the position was the result of Li Guoyao's calculations. Basically, when a bullet is fired, it must intersect with the other three bullets.  .

    The cross firepower formed a dense firepower network at the forward position, and the little devils suffered huge casualties every meter they advanced.

    The huge damage caused by the crossfire soon became unbearable for the charging Japanese troops. The front-line infantry came down row after row. Under such intensive firepower, many people were not only shot once, but were beaten to death.  sieve.

    And because the distance is very close, many bullets not only kill one person, but several people are seriously injured or even killed directly with one shot.

    The horrific casualties directly caused the Japanese offensive to stop at a distance of 100 meters from the defending position. Instead, the charging Japanese troops fell one after another. In a short time, the open space in front of the small position was covered with Japanese troops.  The corpses were layer upon layer and extremely bloody.

    "The little devil is indeed the elite of the Sixth Division. Even though the casualties were extremely heavy, no one retreated, let alone escaped. Instead, they fought back on the spot.

    Since there was no bunker, these little devils piled the bodies of the dead in front to use as a bunker. Although it sounds a bit creepy, this is the most common thing on the battlefield.

    As soon as the Japs counterattacked, the casualties of the regiment skyrocketed. The main reason was that the Japs' shooting skills were much better than those of the Chinese army.

    In the early days of the war, Japanese infantry shooting skills were generally higher than those of the Chinese army. The Japanese soldiers could hit the soldiers who were looking at the crenellations of the city wall from 400 meters away, and their first hit rate could reach more than 80%; they could quickly hit them when traveling 200 meters away.  Hitting a stationary target with only a small part of the body exposed, the hit rate can reach 80%.

    Of course, this is mainly due to the Japanese army's strict training in precision shooting, but also due to the Japanese's huge investment in the army after the Meiji Restoration. Every soldier must undergo rigorous live-fire training before going onto the battlefield. In comparison,  The Chinese army does not have this condition.

    And now the distance between the two sides is only a hundred meters away. For those Japanese soldiers, as long as they are given a chance to shoot, they will basically not miss the target.  In less than fifteen minutes, more than 200 people in the front regiment and battalion were killed and injured. Adding in the previous losses, the number of casualties exceeded 400, and the casualties were extremely heavy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
