Rise From Eight Hundred

It was the two Maxim heavy machine guns that fired first.

However, the targets of their strafing were not the two infantry companies of the Jing'an Army located 100 meters in front of the front-line trench, but the two infantry companies 300 meters away.

Two sudden tongues of fire directly caused a bloody storm in the 300-odd infantry group that was cautiously bending forward.

These two infantry companies, which were also on the offensive, may have thought that the Chinese would shoot, but no one expected that the Chinese's first shot would not be aimed at the enemies closer to them, but aimed at them first.

What the hell kind of tactic is this.

Caught off guard, five or six soldiers were knocked down by the whip. The rest of them fell to the ground as quickly as possible, and the guns in their hands couldn't help but shoot forward.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and thick smoke rose, shrouding the figures of the Jing'an troops.

"The Chinese are finally willing to use their heavy firepower." Li Shoushan finally put down the telescope in his hand, feeling happy instead of angry. "Order the artillery company to strike at these two heavy firepower points. At the same time, order the heavy machine gun company to suppress fire, and the two infantry companies at the front to charge!"

Although the Jingan Army uses a brigade, regiment, battalion and company organization, its equipment configuration is actually similar to that of the Japanese infantry. In addition to two full infantry regiments, an infantry brigade also has direct jurisdiction over two artillery companies, all equipped with 70mm infantry. Artillery, each battery has 6 infantry guns.

At the infantry regiment level, there is an artillery platoon equipped with 2 infantry cannons, and a directly administered heavy machine gun company with 6 heavy machine guns. In addition, each infantry battalion also has 4 heavy machine guns. An infantry brigade has 16 infantry cannons and 36 heavy machine guns, which is more heavy firepower than a regular Japanese infantry regiment.

Otherwise, the 1st Brigade of the Jingan Army would not be responsible for conquering Huzhou and Changxing and serving as the vanguard to attack the Guangde defense line. That is because they have the strength and are not just used as cannon fodder.

As the military order from the brigade headquarters was issued, the hand-cranked siren blared and a red flare was fired into the sky on the Jingan Army position.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Five or six consecutive artillery shells exploded in the forest on the mountainside, and clouds of gunpowder smoke mixed with the blown soil and branches and leaves flew randomly in the air.

The Sichuan troops in the second-line trenches all huddled up as much as possible and held their heads in their hands. This was a way they learned to save their lives during the enemy's shelling without helmets and reduce the surface area exposed to bullets.

The rest can only be left to God.

On the contrary, in the trenches on the front line, Li Jijin roared: "All the company, get on the battlefield! Listen to my order and then fire!"

The soldiers of the Second Company, who were originally sitting in the trench with their rifles in their arms, lay down on their own fighting positions. They were not afraid of the shells that kept exploding a hundred or two hundred meters behind them, and the falling soil and small stones continued to blow. Falling on the body and helmet.

This 70mm infantry gun is a ball! They had even seen 200mm naval guns in Songjiang. Compared with the big guns that would crack city walls several meters thick once hit, the 70mm infantry guns were nothing more than small firecrackers.

Unless you are very unlucky and get hit by such a small cannonball.

This is the knowledge and structure. The independent battalion, which has experienced fierce battles with tens of thousands of troops, is now on the road to becoming the most elite. Whether it is tactics, equipment or spirit, it is fearless of any enemy. This is the basis for becoming a strong army. .

100 meters away, the Jingan Army, which was originally crawling, got up amidst the blaring of sirens and began to bend down and start trotting.

90 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters

Li Jijin's patience was stronger than expected by Tang Dao who chose to let go.

From the moment he entered the front-line trenches, Tang Dao had made it clear that this battle would be under the command of Li Jijin, the second company commander.

Tang Dao knew that he had to learn to let go. There would never be a large-scale battle like this in the future battlefield. Infantry company commanders like Leng Feng and Li Jijin must have the ability to command operations independently from him.

Just like this time he left full power to Lei Xiong to reorganize the blocking position behind Guangde City, Li Jijin and his second company must also face the attack of the first brigade of the Jingan Army on their own.

Yes, the Jing'an Army that scared away a Sichuan regiment was just a training exercise for Tang Dao.

It wasn't until the faces of the Jingan soldiers hidden under their helmets were clearly visible and they were 40 meters away from the trench that Li Jijin pulled the trigger of his shell gun.

"beat!"

On the battlefield, long and short rifles fired simultaneously.

The smoke rising from the muzzle shrouded the entire trench, making it difficult for the Sichuan troops in the second-line trenches behind them to see clearly what was going on in the trenches.

You can also imagine how many bullets the second company fired in just these few seconds.

Perhaps, only the infantrymen of the Jingan Army who were personally on the scene could feel it.

However, those who can feel it are basically dead.

Before leaving, Tang Dao 'blackmailed' 40 submachine guns and 80 shell guns from Lieutenant General Wu. Because the 67th Army and the 43rd Army had been ordered to retreat, it was useless to keep the ammunition, and almost all the submachine gun bullets were left behind. The independent battalion has up to 50,000 rounds of ammunition, with an average of 300 rounds for each submachine gun.

Weapons and equipment were used as they were brought, and Tang Dao was certainly not stingy about this. In addition to equipping all members of the guard platoon with submachine guns, each of the four infantry companies received 4 submachine guns and 10 shell guns, in addition to the original Each infantry squad leader is equipped with a submachine gun, each squad deputy is equipped with a shell gun, and each company platoon leader is equipped with a shell gun. Each infantry company of the independent battalion has a total of 14 submachine guns and 24 shell guns.

This close-range firepower may not show much advantage in long-range shooting, but if someone charges at them without knowing it, it will be fatal.

It is indeed fatal. In three seconds, the three infantry platoons of the second company in the 1,000-meter trench fired more than a thousand bullets in total.

This does not even include the bullets fired by 9 light machine guns.

The barrage of more than a thousand bullets definitely stunned the Jing'an Army, which was running faster and faster and full of confidence.

The deafening gunshots that almost exploded in the ears were not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that people were gone while running.

In the eyes of the Jing'an Army infantry, there was no dazzling trajectory, only blood.

The wounds caused by rifle bullets at such a distance are actually not bad, because the kinetic energy of the muzzle is stronger. At such a close distance, basically one shot and two eyes, many soldiers only know that they have been shot when they feel severe pain.

But the 9mm Luger bullet used by the MP28 submachine gun is different. This large-caliber bullet fully demonstrates its destructive power on the human body within its range.

The shorter muzzle has already determined the kinetic energy of the muzzle. The kinetic energy is not strong enough, so the slightly thicker bullet begins to deform and roll after encountering the obstruction of muscles and bones, tearing the wound that was originally only the size of a finger to the size of a cup mouth.

However, facing such a surging enemy, the submachine gun and Mauser shooters all chose the submachine gun horizontal sweeping method without exception, that is, the kind that does not need to aim, holding the submachine gun, holding the trigger tightly, sweeping the muzzle horizontally, and all the bullets in the drum are fired in four or five seconds.

Then, the rifles and machine guns continued to suppress, and the submachine gunners and Mauser gunners quickly changed the magazines and re-engaged in the second wave of shooting.

On such a battlefield, a precision shooter can only fire two or three shots at most, but obviously, the lethality caused by precision cannot be compared with the "random" sweep of submachine guns and Mauser pistols, which almost rely on luck.

80% of the casualties caused by the Jing'an Army who were charging forward were caused by submachine guns and Mauser pistols.

The large-caliber bullets left huge wounds, and the blood naturally flowed more violently.

Blood! The only thing left in the eyes of the Jing'an Army infantry was blood!

Groups of blood mist filled their colleagues, and then, severe pain came, and the same blood mist filled around them.

The only thing they could do was to express the excruciating pain and accusations against the enemy with constant rolling and roaring that reached the sky.

More than 300 Jing'an Army soldiers fell passively in these few seconds.

The infantrymen who fell down closest to the front-line trenches were less than 20 meters away. Unfortunately, the crazy barrage of bullets completely reduced their speed to zero.

Bravery has become a catalyst for death here.

The faster you run, the more bullet holes you will have.

Then, the Jing'an Army infantrymen, who numbered no more than 200, all fell down.

Frightened.

Otherwise, their fate would be the same as their companions who were screaming desperately to show that they could still be rescued.

However, no one came to rescue them, so they could only desperately shoot in the direction where they could not see the enemy at all, trying to make the rain of bullets come less. The Jing'an Army who had also experienced the battlefield knew that the creepy screams would disappear soon. Even if the bullets did not hit the vital points, the bleeding alone would kill people.

"My goodness!" Digua was stunned.

There were not many Sichuan Army soldiers in the front-line trenches who did not hold their heads with their hands but instead observed the battlefield under the heavy machine gun bullets fired by the Japanese army. Digua, this silly boy, was one of them.

Seeing those ferocious devils helplessly falling and wailing in the rain of bullets, the fear of death in the young soldier's heart was much less than before.

It turned out that killing them was not a difficult thing...

This is not a battlefield, this is a carefully planned massacre!

When the bullets that kept flashing between the branches and leaves on the mountainside flashed the eyes of the Japanese major, such a definition flashed in the mind of the Japanese major.

In the telescope, I don't know how many Jing'an Army soldiers were lying in a pool of blood. Although I couldn't hear their wailing, I knew that their movements must be no less than that of a slaughterhouse.

In just one round of shooting, nearly one-third of the troops were lost. What kind of firepower intensity is this? Ishiwata Yingjie almost couldn't believe his eyes. That was definitely not the firepower of the Chinese army he was familiar with.

The Japanese major didn't look at the brigadier general next to him.

He didn't need to look, he knew how ugly that person's face would be.

In fact, the Chinese slapped their faces too quickly.

This slap, it's blue even if it's not swollen...
