Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 19 Counterattack! attack! charge!

The machine gun position built at the commanding heights was commanding, and the firepower network composed of light and heavy machine guns made the Japanese who had forgotten the skirmishers suffered a heavy loss.

 At this time, the Japanese were running around trying to find several bunkers, but this was doomed to be in vain.

 At the location where the machine guns concentrated fire, dozens of Japanese soldiers were beaten into sieves and fell into pieces.

The reserve team left by Li Yunlong performed great feats, and the Japanese attack was completely interrupted.

In front of the two-wing positions, these Japanese soldiers were completely panicked. The dense bullets raised pieces of soil under their feet.

Under high pressure, they are like headless flies fighting for themselves, and the grassroots officers are temporarily unable to organize an effective counterattack.

The machine gunners pulled the trigger indifferently. Their left hand held the **** of the gun on their shoulders to offset the recoil caused by the continuous long bursts of Shaosha's light machine gun.

Bullets spurted out from the barrel one after another. In order to avoid jamming as much as possible, the magazine that was not full was quickly finished.

  Different from the mainstream Czech light machine guns in the army, changing the ammunition of Shaosha is relatively complicated. The sickle-shaped magazine takes even a skilled shooter three seconds to change.

 So when using the Shaosha light machine gun in combat, the task load of the sub-shooter and ammunition hand is no less than that of the shooter. Most of the time, the sub-shooter helps the shooter change the magazine.

As for the ammunition hand, he not only has to pick up the empty magazines one by one and reload them, but also puts as many shell casings on the ground as possible into the bag he carries within the limited time.

 Although Director Huang can now provide copper steadily for a long time, he can even provide brand new bullets starting from the last month.

  However, these fine copper cartridge cases can be directly reloaded when returned to the base area. These cartridge cases still need to be brought back until the shooting discipline has not changed.

 After a period of chaos like a camp bombing, the Japanese commanders gradually stabilized the soldiers.

 After being slapped a few times, the artillerymen were the first to recover.

 The artillerymen behind the Japanese infantry were relatively safe, and the firepower network of the new regiment did not completely cover them.

Under the leadership of the commander, these Japs began to search for the location of the machine guns, and used mortars in conjunction with the infantry grenades to suppress the firepower of the new regiment.

Then the enemy's firepower recovered, and the squad leader's command allowed them to find their backbone.

 These Japanese soldiers began to fire at the opponent's position, using continuous firepower to clear the way for the infantry.

 Finally, it was the Japanese infantry. After hearing the familiar sound of heavy weapons, the war seemed to have returned to their most familiar mode. Following the commander, he bent down and launched an attack on the new regiment's position.

  It must be said that the Japs' marksmanship at this time was still very good. Many soldiers who were accidentally exposed were hit by the Japs' shots.

  The pressure brought by the organized Japanese on the new flank defense line was very great.

Originally, the number of people did not dominate, and at the beginning, it was caught off guard by the strange attack and the favorable terrain.

 But now the Japs began to attack steadily. After the artillery bombardment and the infantry charge, the casualties of the soldiers gradually began to increase.

 The only good news is that the Japs are already within the effective range of the Stokes mortars.

Although this mortar has a large caliber, it is an antique from World War I and was created for trenches, so its effective range is not that far.

 Three mortars opened fire and gave the soldiers of the new regiment a brief respite.

 But if this continues, it will inevitably lead to destruction.

 “Company Commander, how should we fight now!” asked a soldier from the reserve team.

His face was blackened, but his eyes were full of determination, as if he was determined to bite off a piece of Japanese flesh.

The company commander did not turn to look at him, but fired the gun calmly and said:

"We still have new gadgets that are of no use, let's move the Japs closer." "Whether we can go back alive today depends on whether the defensive grenade given by the regiment leader is good or not."

When the reserve team was gathering, the two company commanders sent four grenades to each soldier, but the soldiers did not use them yet because of the distance.

The company commander looked at the soldiers and warned:

"Wait a while when the Japanese get closer, comrades, listen to my command, pull out the bolt and count for a second before throwing it out."

"Remember my words, after throwing them away, you must hide yourself and don't stretch your head to look."

Huanghe imitated the oval grenade manufactured by American Mkii and changed the original grenade weight from 600 grams to 450 grams, which made it easier for Eighth Route Army soldiers to throw.

Secondly, a small amount of aluminum powder and iron oxide powder (thermite formula) are added to the projectile.

 When a grenade explodes, in addition to the cast iron shell bursting into hundreds of small fragments, the iron and aluminum will also react. It turns into aluminum oxide and boiling molten iron, making the weapon significantly more powerful.

 Because of their shape, egg-shaped bullets are difficult to stop after being thrown near the enemy, and it is difficult for the enemy to pick them up and throw them back and forth.

It also has better corner killing ability than wooden-handled bullets, and the throwing distance will be increased when thrown downwards.

Defensive grenades can scatter a large number of heavy fragments or steel **** that are still lethal at a considerable distance from the explosion point. They are an ideal melee weapon that can cause casualties to groups of advancing enemy troops.

The killing radius of mkii grenades is 5-10 yards, but the shrapnel can kill up to 50 yards, and the average throwing distance of soldiers is 35-40 yards.

Therefore, this killing mechanism requires soldiers who drop bombs not only to take cover measures themselves, but also to pay special attention to the positions of other personnel on their own side.

As the Japanese infantry got closer and closer to the position, the company commander shouted: "One, throw it!"

　　Unplugging the grenade bolt, the soldiers threw the heavy grenade in their hands with all their strength.

This time, he almost used all his strength. After the grenade flew out, his arm was a little weak.

 But the soldiers quickly adjusted themselves and threw the second one.

The little devils’ impression of the Eighth Route Army’s grenades is still that they were made in the border areas. Many Japanese’s first reaction when seeing the grenades was not to avoid them, but to disdain them.

 Boom, boom, boom!

With the explosion of dozens of grenades, thousands of shrapnel flew on the path of the Japanese attack.

 The Japanese soldiers suddenly let out a scream like slaughtering pigs.

 Blood mist splashed everywhere, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

 The next two waves of grenades were thrown, and as the smoke dissipated, more than half of the Japanese infantry had been lost.

 A young soldier stuck his head out to observe the situation. Seeing the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he sighed with fear:

 “My dear mother, this grenade is so powerful.”

 Didi-dip-dah-didi-dip-dah.

 The loud charge horn sounded from behind the Japs. Under the cover of the raging barrage, the support troops of the 771st and 772nd Regiments came to attack the Japs.

The company commander behind the bunker took off his hat, threw it to the ground, picked up a Shaosha and said to the surviving soldiers on the position.

 “Comrades, the time has come to counterattack! All of you! Attack!.”

 The soldiers of the new regiment and the supporting brother troops were like two sharp butcher knives, piercing the hearts of these beasts!

   Something happened today, so I got late.

　　　Sorry
