Rise From Eight Hundred

That was the last trump card in the trench position.

Even when the first wave of Japanese troops rushed forward to attack the defense line, the five machine guns that had never been used were all fired at this time.

Once the bow is shot, there is no turning back. The Japanese infantrymen were frightened by the five whips shot into the array and rolled up a bloody storm. Their legs softened, but they could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

The sudden shooting of the machine guns came so unexpectedly that the Japanese officers in the rear did not even have time to react. They were dumbfounded for three or four seconds.

It was difficult for them to understand why the Chinese, who had always lacked heavy firepower, were so rich. They had nearly ten machine guns at a time, which was very different from their impression of the Chinese army.

This was also because the 36th Infantry Brigade underestimated their opponents. If it was the 13th Infantry Brigade that had a hard battle with the 67th Army in Songjiang City, they would not have such a naive mind.

The Japanese grenade launchers who were responsible for suppressing the opponent's heavy weapons did not react until five or six seconds later. The Chinese had such terrible weapons in the dark to "take care of" their infantry brothers, and they frantically used grenade launchers to shoot at the machine guns hidden in the dark.

However, these machine guns that had been hidden were more than 300 meters away from the trenches. This distance was carefully designed by stingy old Zhou to avoid the 500-meter range of the Japanese grenade launchers. The Japanese grenade launchers would follow the Japanese infantry 200 meters behind as he thought.

Although up to 20 grenade launchers were exploding, they were actually useless.

As for the Japanese mountain artillery and infantry artillery, they also needed enough reaction time, and no fortifications were needed. The night was the best protection for the five big killers.

Stingy old Zhou's tactics were successful.

Because the Japanese charge formation was loose, the damage caused by the machine guns might not be as great as that of the heavy machine guns, but it was cruel enough.

Groups of blood mist bloomed in the Japanese charge formation!

What kind of experience is it to run and have a cloud of blood sprayed on your face, and have to use your hands to wipe off the blood and flesh covering your eyes in order to see clearly?

Only the Japanese soldiers who are charging can describe this heart-wrenching real experience.

Five or six seconds is very short. Perhaps it is just the time to blink two or three times in the eyes of many people, but it seems extremely long to the Japanese infantrymen who are charging.

The cruel battlefield that makes people tremble is gradually wearing away the courage of the Japanese army that was inspired by crossing the stream.

But what really caused the complete collapse of the Japanese army's confidence was not the terrifying machine guns.

Instead, it was the dozens of Chinese soldiers who suddenly stood up from the trenches accompanied by the sound of iron whistles.

Each of them held an MP28 submachine gun.

That was the first time that Chinese soldiers stood up and fired.

The Japanese infantrymen who were running wildly tried their best to pull the trigger and shoot the bullets in the single-shot rifle.

Although there were five bullets in the magazine of the Type 38, more than 50% of the Japanese infantry knew that they only had one chance to shoot. The cruel battlefield would not allow them to pull the bolt to load the bullets and then pull the trigger.

If you want to shoot, you can't dodge.

One side shot without dodging while running wildly, and the other side held the submachine gun horizontally in the trench and shot without dodging.

At this moment, the infantry of both China and Japan had the courage to die with the enemy.

The Japanese army, which was only five or six meters away from the Chinese trench, fired as many as 300 bullets. At least half of the Chinese soldiers who suddenly stood up in the trench were shot.

A small number of them fell directly into the trench, but most of them still endured the severe pain and pulled the trigger.

The long magazine of the MP28 submachine gun with 32 rounds and the continuous firepower were the last straw that overwhelmed the remaining courage of the Japanese infantry.

The 60 submachine guns originally equipped in the trenches were damaged by mechanical failures due to frequent firing in the battle, and only 52 could still fire. Seven or eight soldiers fell down due to bullets.

In the end, there were less than 45 submachine guns that could spit out firepower, but these less than 45 submachine guns sprayed out more than a thousand rounds of bullets that were dizzying.

This was no longer a fire suppression, but a face-to-face fight between submachine guns and rifles.

You shoot me once, and I will shoot back ten rounds.

The Chinese soldiers had no way to retreat. As long as they were not killed by one shot, they would scream with their eyes bulging and pull the trigger tightly, shooting across the front.

Flowers of blood bloomed on the infantry of both China and Japan.

To describe it with the famous saying written by Tan Tai Mingyue after interviewing Potato, who survived this battle: That was the gaze of death on death!

Yes, the Chinese and Japanese soldiers stared at each other at a distance of only more than ten meters, and then walked towards death together.

The 6.5mm caliber bullets of the Type 38 rifle were weak at this moment. Although the bullets that penetrated the body could cause great damage, the extreme secretion of adrenaline prevented the Chinese soldiers from being knocked down by the pain at least in these ten seconds.

However, the wounds caused by the 9mm Luger bullets equipped with the MP series submachine guns could not be resisted by the secretion of adrenaline.

The screams of the Japanese infantrymen were heard clearly by both sides in the fierce battle on the "Lonely Mausoleum" hundreds of meters away.

The Japanese soldiers who fell closest to the Chinese trenches could even reach out their hands from the trenches and touch the bayonet blades of the Type 38 rifles thrown on the ground.

As many as one-third of the Japanese soldiers were killed by this wave.

Just when the other soldiers in the trenches had already grasped their rifles and were ready to fight the final battle, the Japanese army's courage, which had been weakened to the bottom, completely collapsed.

First, the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed by the submachine guns turned around and ran away, followed by the ones behind.

The more fierce the front charge, the more determined the back retreat. The Japanese soldiers who ran back ran three times faster than when they charged.

In the face of death, the so-called samurai spirit also weakened.

"Baga! All dead!" Maeda Masahiro stared at the khaki color that rolled back and punched the ground hard.

Although he was very angry, the Japanese Army Major did not make such an unwise move as throwing away his helmet. The stray bullets flying around on the battlefield were terrifying. If it weren't for the 90 steel helmet, he would probably have been written into the list of dead by now just relying on the "menstrual" belt that boosted his courage.

The Japanese army that entered the charging state left nearly 200 bodies on the battlefield, and only half of them were able to return to the position.

And the Chinese defenders did not take advantage of the victory to counterattack.

The sudden increase in casualties in the "death and death gaze" was only one of the reasons, and the ammunition that was consumed again was the main reason.

More than one-third of the submachine guns and Mauser pistols became decorations after this battle, and even the soldiers who still had bullets only had dozens of rounds.

The Japanese soldiers who died in front of the position became the best ammunition depot.

Before the Japanese army angrily ordered the mountain artillery to bombard the trench position, Potato took advantage of the opportunity when the flares fell from the sky and the battlefield fell into darkness. Like an agile monkey, he dragged five or six Type 38 rifles back from the front of the position, and also touched two bullet boxes full of bullets.

Post-war analysis also proved that if it were not for this group of Japanese troops "giving away" more than 100 Type 38 rifles and thousands of rifle bullets to the Chinese.

I am afraid that the Chinese position would never hold on to the last moment.

Because, at this time, their ammunition reserves were basically exhausted, while Tang Dao and others on the side of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade were still working hard to annihilate the large number of artillery of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Even if they completed all the combat objectives, the entire army was still six kilometers away from here. It would take half an hour to reach here even if they ran and vomited blood.

Although the trench position was in danger, they finally got a chance to breathe.

But the battle on the "Guling" was already approaching a white-hot stage.

Except for the first wave that was repelled by air-burst bombs, the Japanese infantry never retreated at all. Even if they suffered the casualties caused by the flying grenade shrapnel, they continued to throw grenades.

On the battlefield on the flank, the vanguard squad responsible for defending the first-line trenches was even completely killed, and another infantry squad had to support the first-line trenches.

Fighting for consumption!

Using human lives in exchange!

Even at the cost of human lives in exchange for the consumption of the opponent's ammunition!

This was the last trick used by the Japanese commander who was also forced into a desperate situation.

But it was very effective.
