The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 16 Fighting 3
The bullets collided, the corpses overlapped, and the bloody scene in front of him made He Wei very happy.

He Wei grabbed the jammed bamboo shoot, pulled out the magazine, and shouted back while replacing the magazine with a new one.

"Third squad leader!"

Tu Desheng, the third squad leader, got up and ran fiercely in the trench, shouting: "Everyone in the squad, drop bombs for me!"

The soldiers of the third squadron in the trench beat up the drowned dogs, and took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese troops were being fired by machine guns to throw grenades to fight back. One after another long-handled grenades were thrown out of the trenches. The air waves from the explosion of the grenades pushed dense fragments, which were more than ten meters in front of the position. A death zone was created, with flying shrapnel and He Wei's machine gun bullets harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers.

He Wei had more and more machine gun shells stacked up at hand. Under the joint attack of machine guns and grenades, only one of the six Japanese soldiers who came in the attack ran away, and the others fell into a pool of blood.

When He Wei saw the Japanese troops beginning to retreat, he moved and picked up the handle of the light machine gun that had been replaced with a new magazine in his left hand. He picked up the shell gun in his right hand and jumped out of the machine gun position and rushed into the open area.This scene happened to be seen by Tu Desheng, the third squad leader, who simply pulled out his bayonet and climbed out of the trench.

"Brothers, confront the platoon leader and beat him up."

"Kill!" After beating five Japs in one breath, the morale of the three squadrons of soldiers was greatly boosted. They all attached bayonets to their rifles and jumped out of the trenches shouting, "Kill!"

There was only one Japanese infantryman who was not killed by light machine guns and grenades. He Wei suddenly jumped out to chase, and started a counterattack like a madman with a shell gun, which was unexpected by these Japanese soldiers.

As He Wei marched, he put a wooden support on his shoulder and fired several shots with a shell gun in one hand. The soldiers from the third squadron who rushed out were also shooting with rifles. The retreating Japanese soldier was killed before he could run very far. He was killed in front of him. There were two Japanese soldiers operating grenade launchers, and now they hurriedly put down their grenade launchers and used rifles to fight back.

"Don't let them get away, take out their grenades!"

Rifle bullets flew past him. He Wei immediately threw himself on the ground, put down his rifle, set up his light machine gun and fired in the direction of the Japanese grenade group. He hit hard and fired a magazine of bullets without missing a single shot. past.The Japanese grenadiers who were caught off guard had no time to disperse completely, and fell down one after another under machine gun fire. All eight Japanese soldiers who attacked were killed.

Killed eight people!

In the distance, there are several Japanese riflemen

Tu Desheng, the squad leader of the third squad, quickly caught up with He Wei and shot the Japanese soldiers in the distance with his rifle. He Wei, who quickly used up the twenty rounds of machine gun ammunition in the magazine, then rained bullets with his shell gun wantonly.

Within 50 meters, a shell gun with a wooden stock is an excellent melee weapon. Unfortunately, what He Wei has in his hand is an ordinary Mauser C96 shell gun, not a box gun with a speed machine. That thing can fire in bursts. More refreshing!
"bang bang bang"

Although the marksmanship of the third group of soldiers who rushed out of the trenches was not satisfactory, they could not bear the large number of people. With the shell gun in He Wei's hand, after a burst of firing, the Japanese riflemen on the opposite side could not shoot at all. After waiting for a while, they left the two corpses behind and pulled out with a wounded soldier.

…………

On the front of the battlefield, bullets were flying, smoke from grenades was flying, the battle commands of the two armies were mixed with the shouts of the wounded soldiers, and the scene was chaotic.

After the Japanese troops outflanking the right side of a row of positions were completely destroyed by He Wei and the third squad, who risked their lives, He Wei quickly ordered the third squad to return to the trenches and stop as soon as they were ready, filling the hole that was almost torn. He Wei Carrying the light machine gun of the third squadron, they returned to the center of the position and the Japanese troops who attacked the main position from the front also made no progress. The main row of the main force in the front was still throwing a large number of grenades and shooting at the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops organized several more attacks, but nothing happened. They were all beaten back by a volley of grenades and rifle fire.He Wei was able to effectively contain almost every tactical change of the attacking Japanese army. After the failure of the outflanking on the right wing, the Japanese army was at the end of a stalemate with a row of frontal stalemates, and completely lost the resilience to carry out a breakthrough attack. , struggling to hold up in front of a row of positions.

The chaotic exchange of fire continued for nearly five minutes. With several sporadic explosions, a few belated shells landed in front of a row of positions. The explosions were very messy but also killed two Japanese soldiers.

"It's the [-] mortar from the battalion!"

I don't know who roared. The morale of a row of soldiers was greatly boosted after this round of shelling. He Wei also shouted to fire. The frequency of shooting and bombing suddenly increased. This round of fire came from the mortar platoon of the [-]nd Battalion. The shelling did not come in time, but the boost to morale was obvious. The entire first row of soldiers was excited, and they fired continuously at the Japanese troops before the confrontation.

The small group of Japanese attacking troops who failed to make a frontal breakthrough and failed to outflank did not engage in further entanglement. They finally broke away from the battle under the cover of heavy machine gun fire and withdrew one by one...
The artillery smoke was blown away by the wind, and in Dabaishui Village not far behind the row of positions, a cloud of black smoke slanted into the sky. The situation of the battalion stationed in the village was obviously not good. With the faint light of fire in the village, a group of A pungent smell like burning straw, mixed with the smell of gunpowder after the explosion of artillery shells, spread from the inside out of Dabaishui Village to the national army positions and trenches outside the village, irritating every soldier who had just escaped from the battle.

It took almost only a moment for a row of trenches to go from fierce fighting to silence. The battle had just ended. Under He Wei's orders and shouts, the soldiers had no time to rejoice that they survived and threw themselves into cleaning the trenches.

Sitting in the trench, the wet and sticky military underwear covered He Wei's heart, and a wave of evil fire came out of his body. After drinking a few water to regain some strength, He Wei tore open and was covered in blood. He took off his helmet and hat, shook his head and panted heavily, completely ignoring Bo Ga's wound on his neck.

Holding the still warm barrel of the light machine gun in his hand, He Wei repeatedly rubbed the gun cleaning cloth in the gaps between each heat sink. He Wei did not miss any blind spots and wiped the barrel of the light machine gun vigorously. He pursed his lips and said.

"This gun is scratched. It's a waste of a good gun."

The originally dirty gun cleaning cloth wiped out the oil stains in the barrel, picking up dust, particles, and even black stains formed by condensation of gun oil. This was true for both barrels.

The magazine slot of the light machine gun body is also a good thing. Dirt and particles can be found with a gun cleaning cloth. He Wei was lucky that it didn't jam when he used it to shoot at the Japanese soldiers.Before it fell into the hands of He Wei, this light machine gun originally produced by the Czech State-owned Arsenal in 1935 was not poorly maintained, but very poorly maintained!
He Wei decided to master this gun personally. The light machine gun position of the third squad just now was caused by the shooter's poor shooting skills and tactics, which attracted a grenade attack from the Japanese army, causing the light machine gun group to be almost completely destroyed.

The whole platoon now only has two light machine guns, and this firepower cannot be wasted. Jiang Qilong, the light machine gun shooter of the first squad, performed well in the battle just now. He is a man who can shoot light machine guns very well.

As for Class [-], He Wei thought it would be safer to keep it in his hands for the time being.

"Hei Wa, fill the magazine with bullets."

"Platoon commander, it's already full."

Tao Heiwa, the messenger, squatted beside He Wei's hand, holding five bloody light machine gun magazines, which had just been removed from the corpse of the dead machine gun guard.

The light machine gun team of the third squad and even the cowhide magazine bag of the man and machine gunner were blown to pieces, and the magazine could only be removed and used separately.

I took a magazine, wiped the blood on the magazine, wiped the knob and magazine latch on the right side of the gun, inserted the connecting pin between the wooden butt and the receiver, and there was a snap. After inserting a magazine and mounting the barrel, I finally finished maintaining the light machine gun.
