Rise From Eight Hundred

The 7mm heavy machine guns located 500 meters away were still adjusting their muzzle aiming, and the three Type 94 tanks had already taken the lead.

Moreover, they did not retreat, but moved forward, leading the Japanese infantry behind the car who had been beaten until their faces turned pale.

Six 7mm heavy machine guns fired wildly forward. The terrifying heavy machine gun bullets hit the rocks and emitted frightening sparks. When they hit the human body, it was like a big hole.

The Chinese blocking positions are only temporary, mostly made of stones and wood bunkers. You can say that they can block rifles and light machine guns. When encountering such heavy machine guns, their protective capabilities cannot be said to be absent, but in fact they are not much. .

Especially light machine guns and MG34 heavy machine guns require the shooter to raise his body and protrude at least tens of centimeters from the ground.

At that moment, even the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment had to choose to lower their bodies to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

"The devilish 5th Division's Japs are really tough! How dare you charge after being beaten like this?" Qin Ruoyu, who was lying in the grass, secretly smacked his tongue.

Qin Ruoyu had fought against the Japanese 9th Division and 11th Division on the battlefield since the beginning of the war. Three months ago, he had fought a bloody battle with the 108th Division. He still had enough understanding of the Japanese army's combat power, but looking at the enemy on the opposite side, Even though the Japanese infantry suffered such heavy casualties, they still chose the "lighting lanterns to find the toilet" style of attack. They were still shocked.

The "Kang Army" in the Japanese Army really deserves its reputation!

But the startled Qin Ruoyu's eyes flickered not with fear, but with joy.

This kind of behavior of the Japanese army is not a sure way to die!

In order to avoid the range of Japanese infantry grenade launchers, his two 7mm Browning heavy machine guns were placed more than 300 meters behind the entire infantry position, more than 500 meters away from this wave of Japanese troops.

The distance of more than 1 mile ensures a certain degree of safety, but the machine gun shooter is not a sniper. How can he hit the already very petite Type 94 tank so easily from more than 500 meters away? It mainly relies on firepower. Shooting is looking for a probability.

As a result, the Japanese themselves took the initiative to close the distance, and they were sent to the door to be beaten. Not only could they be killed more easily, but they could also save ammunition. Why not?

"Pass my order, don't fire for the time being, let the bullies be arrogant for a while, wait until they are 400 meters away before firing!" Qin Ruoyu, as the artillery company commander, made a prompt decision.

The Japanese army's courage, which is close to facing death, seems quite strong, but in fact! Qin Ruoyu really thought too highly of these Japanese troops, especially the armored soldiers in the three Type 94 tanks.

Although they were protected by steel plates, even the MG34 machine gun bullets could not penetrate them, but for a few days I felt panicked.

One of them is that the machine gun is almost out of bullets;

The second was the deafening explosion of artillery shells that lasted for several minutes;

The third is seeing one's own heavy casualties from the observation hole;

When the dust cleared, they could clearly see the dozens of terrifying firepower points of the Chinese directly in front of them, which was what they were most afraid of.

Those who can become technical troops are all smart enough. The tank soldiers know very well that under such a fierce fire attack, the remaining infantry behind them will be finished sooner or later.

Once the infantry are finished, their end will come.

Waiting for the main force behind the canyon? Haha, it's several miles of straight-line distance, and they have to cross mountains and ridges. By the time they come over, their bodies will probably be hardened!

As for the one in the canyon, don't even think about it. With such an explosion, who can find a living person who can take his last name?

As soon as the infantry are finished, the Chinese will surround them from all directions. They can blow up the "iron coffin" they are sitting in with grenades without using any explosives.

You must not run in the canyon. Don't look at it as an escape route. If the Chinese above drop a few explosive packets, it will be a dead end.

The only way to survive is to move forward, carry the Chinese bullets while the machine guns still have bullets, follow the mountain road not far away from this ghost place, and then find an opportunity to jump out of the car and escape.

Therefore, the Xiaoduding tank soldiers made what they thought was the wisest choice and waved the remaining infantry forward through the gap in the rear door of the vehicle.

The Japanese infantry were also helpless, but the tanks that protected them from the rain of bullets were about to leave. What else could they do, who relied on tanks to survive? If they don't follow along, they will soon be sieved.

Therefore, a bunch of desperate little people gave Qin Ruoyu the illusion that 'I am just so strong'.

But the Japanese army didn't know that the closer they got to the Chinese mountain positions, the closer they were to death.

As the Japanese army's three small Dougins advanced, a new round of fire coverage began on the Chinese position. The first to launch the attack were four MG34s.

The four firepower points were aimed at the front and sides of the Type 94 tank. The clanking sound when hitting the steel plate was endless, just like the piano music played by the god of death, not to mention scaring the Japanese infantry behind the tank to the point of peeing. When they came out, even the armored soldiers in the car involuntarily clamped their legs.

The 94 light tank has one observation hole in the front of the vehicle, and one on the side and one at the rear. However, it is not the observation hole with various high-tech technologies like that on future tanks, but a purely physical hole. .

Under this density of firepower, who would dare to put their eyes on the hole and look out? Isn’t that taking the initiative to give someone a head?

The Japanese tanks nowadays are basically half-blind, and they just keep moving forward with the wild desire to survive.

However, this did not prevent the two 7mm heavy machine guns from firing back at the Chinese heavy machine gun firepower point. Regardless of whether they were accurate or not, the main point was that as long as enough bullets were fired, there would be a chance to kill the opponent.

The metal torrent with a firing rate of 600 rounds per second formed a visible "earth dragon" in the dust splashed on the ground, and it was drawn towards a heavy machine gun mounted between two 100-jin rocks.

The Japanese infantrymen who saw this scene even shouted excitedly "board" at that moment.

As long as they could kill the opponent's heavy machine gun with a terrible firing rate, their chance of survival would increase by at least 20 percentage points.

The next moment, the "earth dragon" lived up to the expectations of the Japanese infantrymen and drew on the heavy machine gun firepower point, and sparks flew in an instant.

"Board!" The sound resounded through the mountains and even overwhelmed the roar of the heavy machine guns on both sides.

Then, a bright flower bloomed in the smoke and dust, and a volley of bullets swept over, hitting the Type 94 armored vehicle again, and several crazy ricochets even crashed into the infantry team behind the tank, and three Japanese soldiers fell down howling.

Japanese infantry?

Invulnerable? This is because of the legendary iron shirt!

That's because they didn't see that all the heavy machine guns on the distant positions had a steel shield erected at the bolt position!

This was Qin Ruoyu's suggestion after the Qingshiyan Battle. In the Four-Line Regiment, except for the Su Luotong machine gun, the other heavy machine guns did not have this thing, but in actual combat, the heavy machine gun firepower point was the focus of the Japanese attack.

Whether it is a grenade launcher, a light or heavy machine gun, or even an infantry precision shooting, it can cause casualties to the heavy machine gun shooter.

In the Qingshiyan Battle, Qin Ruoyu's artillery company replaced three batches of heavy machine gun main shooters for this reason. Not only did it cause personnel losses, but more importantly, the loss of experienced machine gun shooters would also weaken their own suppression firepower.

But an ordinary 6mm steel shield weighs 10 kilograms, and a heavy machine gun squad needs to carry two, which undoubtedly greatly increases the load of the machine gun squad. It is better to carry more bullets if you have the strength, and if the steel plate is too thin to reduce the weight, it cannot block the heavy machine gun bullets.

It has to be Grunov, a genius engineer in metal materials. He is developing the MG42 machine gun and has undoubtedly equipped it with a manganese-added steel. This steel, named manganese steel by Gong Shaoxun, is twice as hard as ordinary steel.

However, a 3-4 mm thick steel plate can even allow the MG34 machine gun to fire at will at a distance of more than 200 meters without being penetrated. For the same area, the weight of the manganese steel shield is less than 5 kilograms.

Therefore, the Dakouzidong Military Factory, which obtained the steel formula, provided matching manganese steel shields for all heavy machine guns and machine guns.

If it were not for the fact that this thing was still a bit heavy, Tang Tuanzuo, who was thousands of miles away, would even have wanted to tie a piece on the chest of each infantryman.

To put it bluntly, from the perspective of frontal protection alone, today's MG34 machine gunners are not necessarily weaker than the Japanese armored soldiers in the Type 94 tank. The proof is that more than a dozen 7mm caliber bullets fell on the steel plate, leaving only shocking grooves but not being penetrated.

At present, neither side can kill the other, which just satisfies the Japanese army's dream. They don't have much idea about how many Chinese people they kill and injure now. Their only wish is to quickly escape from this damn battlefield.

Suddenly, several consecutive clouds of gunpowder exploded on the side of a Type 94 tank.

It was a half-man-high stone that was hit, and the flying stones even smashed two Japanese soldiers who were five or six meters away from the stone into blood.

The Japanese infantry were horrified. Previously, they were lying on the ground and beaten because of the smoke and dust. They were not very clear about this kind of high-powered firearms. Now they saw with their own eyes that a half-man-high stone was blown up. What if it hit a person?

Then, before they could make a choice between moving forward or lying prone on the ground, the calibrated 7mm heavy machine gun opened fire again, this time just sweeping the Japanese troops hiding behind the Type 94 tank from the side.

The Browning 7mm heavy machine gun is not as powerful as the 20mm cannon, but its rate of fire is several times that of the 20mm cannon, reaching 450 to 550 rounds per minute, which is one of the important factors that allowed it to serve until the beginning of the 21st century.

In just a few seconds, the Browning heavy machine gun, which was personally controlled by a sergeant squad leader, spewed out 30 rounds of bullets, forming a sweeping whip.

It was just that it was not accurate enough and missed the Type 94 tank, but just swept the Japanese infantry column.

If it hit the arm, the arm was instantly blown off and broken; if it hit the body, there was a bloody bowl-sized hole on the body. The bullet with full kinetic energy rolled and stirred in the human body, not only penetrating the muscles and bones, but also penetrating the body into the second human body until it completely lost power.

Blood mist rose in the Japanese army!

Standing less than 200 meters away from them, the soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment could not see the figures of the Japanese infantrymen who were blocked by the tanks, but at this time, they could clearly see several blood-red flowers suddenly growing behind the tanks.

What on earth is that? Those who know know!

The 7mm heavy machine gun, which has been rarely used, is so terrible in actual combat that many soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment can't help but feel a chill in their backs!

This tragic scene caused the "spectators" who were beaten and those in the distance to be scared.

But in fact, there are "blood-drinking friends" at a closer distance!

A Japanese armored sergeant opened the tailgate of the car, hoping that the infantrymen behind him could help them observe the situation ahead. As a result, a 7mm caliber bullet hit a Japanese infantry second lieutenant's neck just 5 meters in front of him.

The artery and cervical vertebrae were completely broken, and the whole head was strangely hanging on the back of the human body that had not yet fallen to the ground with a little skin. This Japanese veteran had seen all kinds of horrible postures after being bombed by shells on the battlefield.

But when the body fell forward, the completely broken carotid artery was like an opened water faucet, which directly sprayed more than 1 meter away under the huge pressure of the chest cavity, just splashing all the blood on his face. This kind of thing on his body, the Japanese veteran had never encountered before.

He was stunned for two or three seconds. During this period, the armored sergeant instinctively wiped his face with his hand, and the fishy smell bloomed on the buds on the tip of his tongue. The Japanese sergeant then yelled "Reverse" heartbreakingly and suddenly closed the tailgate that had been opened a crack.

The infantrymen reacted almost the same as him, "Lie down!" The Japanese infantrymen who were still alive showed good individual qualities.

Their lying posture was not only standard but also very fast!

But sometimes! Too fast is not necessarily a good thing.

Letting the bullets fly for a while is also an option.

"The Chinese have machine guns!" This was the only answer given by the Japanese sergeant with blood all over his head and face.

If it wasn't a machine gun, what kind of firearms could cause such harm to the human body?

The Oerlikon 20mm machine gun and the 37mm anti-tank gun were the only two weapons that the Fifth Division had encountered on the battlefield in North China that could threaten their tank brigade!

The Japanese sergeant and his two subordinates had witnessed the tragic situation of their colleagues' tanks being hit by these two types of artillery, and both the people and the cars were crushed!

The corporal driver was also a ruthless person. He turned his head and saw the creepy appearance of his own sergeant and the panicked roar. He immediately put the reverse gear on without hesitation and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The engine of the Type 94 tank roared and spewed thick black smoke. Before the infantrymen in the rear could come to their senses, it crashed backward fiercely.

"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang!" Several strange muffled sounds became the main theme in this small area of ​​dozens of meters.

'Bang! ' That was the human body that was unfortunately hit by the madly reversing Type 94. Although the speed was not very fast, the people who were hit basically had little mobility. On such a battlefield, the end waiting for them must be death.

'Bang! ' It was the tracks that ran over some people on the ground who had no time to dodge, whether they were dead or alive.

When a watermelon was crushed, it would also make a similar sound!

When the Chinese 7mm heavy machine gun swept through, it only killed five or six Japanese soldiers. No matter how tragic the scene was, the basic human shape was still there.

But when the Type 94 tank was reversing frantically for a few seconds without caring about anything, it almost cleared the field. At least ten Japanese infantrymen who were unable to react were knocked away or crushed under the tracks.

Wherever the tank passed, there was nothing human except some red, yellow and white things. The blood sprayed along the tank's tracks for a full seven or eight meters, forming a creepy road of blood and flesh!

"The yellow is blood, the white is meat, and the yellow is fat. Don't say, the Japanese in the Fifth Division are quite fat!" At this time, there were veterans giving science popularization to the recruits.

"Ugh!" A recruit was lying in the simple fortifications and vomiting crazily.

"What a fool, what kind of psychological quality! Is this not good enough?" The veteran, who had reached the rank of sergeant, twisted his mouth and endured the nausea rising in his stomach.

This scene was unbearable even for the veteran from Sichuan Province who had fought in the Rat Mountain Blocking Battle.

In fact, from a certain perspective, the Japanese sergeant's choice of "reversing" was not wrong. He quickly opened up the distance, maintained mobility, and used the thickest steel plate of the tank to face the powerful guns on the opposite side. The survival rate of the Type 94 tank was much greater than that of going forward, left, and right.

However, they still rushed too close, and after continuous shooting and calibration, the two 7mm heavy machine guns finally found the crosshairs.

This Type 94 tank, which completely ignored the life and death of its colleagues, was finally bitten by two 7mm heavy machine guns that were cross-fired after running more than 40 meters in reverse.

More than a dozen clearly visible large holes appeared on the front steel plate of the Type 94 tank, and thick smoke came out from all around the tank. It was the high temperature formed when the metal bullet flow penetrated the steel plate and caused the burning inside the tank.

Perhaps because of inertia, or perhaps because the killed Japanese armored driver still had a trace of obsession with escape, the tank finally ran back more than 20 meters before stopping crookedly.

The other two Type 94 tanks, which were late to react, were completely unaware of the situation as their vision was obstructed. They were still moving forward and trying their best to fire at the Chinese firepower points, and trying their best to cover the infantry who could assist them.

They didn't even know that the cute infantry behind them had already crawled and scattered, hiding behind the ditches or rocks at the moment they were killed.

Even if they were killed by bullets, they were still intact. They must not be crushed into meat paste by the "millipede armored soldiers" like their colleagues! This was the most firm belief in the hearts of the Japanese infantry who witnessed that scene.

But with the destruction of the three tanks, they lost their last heavy firepower, and the dozens of Japanese infantry who remained in various parts of the battlefield were basically dead!

In the forest about 4,500 meters away from the battlefield, the young man in the mountain village looked at the middle-aged infantry company commander with almost worshipful eyes, listening to his order: "Brothers, follow me, kill!"
