The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 44 Fire!
After the Japanese tank passed the first front-line point marked by He Wei, it suddenly accelerated its speed. The engine roared and accelerated, and the Japanese infantry who followed also dispersed.

"Stand still, listen to my heavy machine gun fire and then shoot!"

He Wei shouted, tirelessly emphasizing the discipline of shooting. The soldiers in the row did not lose their chains, they were all steady. Facing the approaching tanks, no one fired their guns indiscriminately.

In less than a hundred minutes, the leading Japanese tank drove past several old dead trees with green weeds hanging on them. This was the second front point designated by He Wei. This point was [-] meters away from the first row of positions. .

The sergeant squad leader said anxiously: "Platoon leader He, the Japanese tanks have rushed 300 meters away. If we don't fight, it will be too late."

He Wei did not immediately answer the sergeant's machine gun squad leader. He Wei just shook his head. Now, it was far from the time to shoot. The defense system he had deployed was a large outer trench in front of the position. Between 200 and 30 meters in front of the position, the outer layer It is a large number of wooden rhombus-shaped turrets. The inner layer is a whole row of deer villages built by diagonally splitting trees. Beyond that is a 250-meter continuous concave and convex anti-tank ditch on the ground. About 250 meters in front of the position is an anti-tank trap. , [-] meters away, is the open space to engage the enemy.

The purpose of my arrangement was to let the Japanese tanks hit the anti-tank trenches on their own. Moreover, the most effective range for the tank's defensive artillery to hit Japanese tanks was within three hundred meters. The closer it was, the more lethal it would be.

Therefore, He Wei must move closer to attack, and at the same time, he can also buy enough preparation time for the combat defense artillery platoon and mortar platoon in the rear.

He Wei then said calmly: "Don't fire, don't be anxious."

In addition to the sound of tanks, the clattering shouts of Japanese infantry became increasingly clear. After the Japanese tanks rushed within [-] meters, the Japanese infantry following the tanks also accelerated, and several Japanese soldiers even surpassed the tanks. , holding destruction shears for breaking obstacles, they quickly rushed towards the Luzhai in front of a row of positions in pairs...

.....................

Boring - blasting
Suddenly, a tank turned its semicircular turret, exhaled a burst of white smoke from the muzzle, and fired a shell towards a row of positions. Then, the four Type 57 tanks in front spread out and widened the distance. Immediately afterwards, they all opened fire according to Hyakutake Shukichi's order. The [-]mm cannon and [-] heavy machine gun on the turret fired in unison, and together with the [-]mm light machine gun of the Type [-] armored vehicle, they fired fiercely at the row of positions. .

Boring-boring-boring-booming
Boring—boring
da da da da da da da da

Machine gun shells hit the sandbags in a row of trenches and rolled up bursts of loose soil, and 57mm tank shells also exploded on the position.

"Squat down, squat down!"

"Everyone, please take cover and don't open fire!"

A row of squad leader's commands came from the trench, and He Wei also yelled to stay hidden.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, He Wei quickly squatted down and retracted his head. The floating soil and debris from the bullets continued to fall on his head and hit the helmet, but there was no trace of panic on He Wei's face and he remained motionless. Tao beside him Hei Wa was not so calm anymore, his face was pale, and the machine gun squad leader was not much better, grinning and sucking in cold air.

He Wei said loudly: "Hei Wa, don't panic, just wait. The Japanese infantry is probably going to rush up soon. These tanks are covering and shooting, because there are 100 meters in front of our position that are all deer villages, and the enemy horses and these Their infantry must charge to break through the obstacles, so sporadic infantry will break through the obstacles first, while the bulk of them are still hiding behind the tanks."

"Heavy machine gun fire ready, waiting for my command."

The sergeant's squad leader responded immediately: "Yes."

The Japanese tanks fought more and more fiercely, but a row of soldiers was well hidden and no one was exposed, so there were no casualties. After several rounds of shooting, the firing of the tank machine guns suddenly stopped.

He Wei stood up and observed again. He saw more and more Japanese infantry appearing in the gaps between the tanks, bending down to follow the tanks. Some seemed to have set up heavy machine guns in the gaps. Of course, most of the Japanese soldiers Still hiding behind the tank, the tank slowed down and the 57mm cannon on the turret was still firing. The Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer to the anti-tank trap set by He Wei.

After waiting for so long, it finally came.

He Wei touched the Czech light machine gun at hand, showed a sneer, waved his clenched fist, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone is here, prepare to fight! Fire as soon as the heavy machine gun rings!"

Then he gave a sharp order to the sergeant's machine gun squad leader: "Heavy machine gun, target - Japanese infantry directly in front, target boundary - left - Japanese tank, right - our Luzhai, distance 250 meters!"

"Yes! The order is repeated, the first shot, target - Japanese infantry directly in front, target boundary - left - Japanese tank, right - our Luzhai, distance 250 meters!"

The sergeant squad leader immediately recited He Wei's order. After the recitation was completed, a corporal of the machine gun squad in charge of observation looked forward, took out a Type 250 heavy machine gun shooting chart book, compared it and replied: "The range is 11 meters. The shooting range is eleven minutes and eleven seconds, and the angle density is two!"

"it is good!"

The sergeant squad leader immediately adjusted the scale of the Type [-] heavy machine gun and fixed the machine gun hoist. An ammunition soldier inserted the canvas belt into the machine gun's ammunition inlet and pulled the machine handle to load.

Several other soldiers stabilized the retreat pole and patted the sandbags on the machine gun tripod with their shovels. The rest of the heavy machine gun squad's reserve shooters, ammunition soldiers, drivers and messengers squatted holding the spare ammunition boxes and cooling water tanks respectively. Stay in the trenches and wait.

The sergeant squad leader held the shooting handle tightly and shouted to He Wei: "First shot, okay!"

The black muzzle of the Type [-] heavy machine gun was aimed at the rushing Japanese infantry from the flank... In order to prevent accidental fire, the machine guns on the Japanese tanks stopped firing, and only the tank guns continued to sweep the rows of positions. Open fire, after a brief deceleration, the Japanese tanks suddenly accelerated again and rushed over. The two leading Type [-] Chinese tanks rushed out of the formation, with a puff of black smoke coming from behind the vehicles and rushed over like crazy. .

Lia Jiuxiong, captain of the First Infantry Squadron of the Di Detachment behind the tank, raised his command knife: "First Squadron, charge!"

"Attack! Assault!"

Commander Cao and the corps commanders also roared and ordered the infantry to launch an assault.

In front of the position, crazy shouts of killing suddenly erupted. The Japanese infantry who had been holding down the trench for a long time screamed and straightened their white bayonets and launched an assault. They gathered from both sides and poured in, following the path left by the two advancing tanks. Tongtong launched a charge.

The Japanese infantrymen who rushed to the front and were responsible for breaking through the obstacles were even about to approach the Luzhai horse-rejection position set up by a row. The following Japanese infantrymen were also preparing to form skirmish groups to attack after rushing through the passage. However, there was not a single Japanese infantryman. I felt something strange under my feet while charging...

When the two fastest Type 250 Chinese tanks rushed like two wild boars to [-] meters away from a row of positions, the two tanks happened to drive into the anti-tank trap arranged by He Wei.

Boom boom - two loud noises. As soon as the two tanks charging the most fiercely drove up, the door panels covering the anti-tank trap and the roof beams made of logs below could no longer support the weight of the tanks, and the door panels cracked into pieces. In both halves, the tank body sank directly vertically into the anti-tank pit, with only the turret and a small part of the body on the horizon.

The other car realized that there was an accident and braked suddenly, but it was too late. Half of its body was also stuck in it. The front half of the car fell in diagonally, and the other half of the car was still outside the ditch, with the tank's butt raised high in the ditch. .

Next to the two tanks, the charging infantry behind them instantly lost the protection and cover of the tanks, and were exposed in front of a row of positions. Except for the infantry who had already crossed the tanks and charged, most of the Japanese troops who had left a path along the tanks were There was no time to expand into a skirmishing group, but they quickly charged forward in a dense formation and prepared to expand.

This is the best time to fire.

It's now!

In the position, He Wei, who saw the Japanese tank sinking, shouted: "Fire! The whole platoon fires!"

da da da da da da da da

The machine gun squad leader pulled the trigger, and the Type 200 heavy machine gun spit out a stream of flames. A diagonal tongue of flames shot directly into the Japanese infantry [-] meters away like a storm. The Japanese infantry who had no time to respond did not even recover. Like cutting rice, he was knocked to the ground by the seventy-nine heavy bullets fired by the heavy machine gun. The machine gun squad leader next to He Wei had a ferocious look, because he had never fought such a refreshing battle. He could mow away a bunch of Japanese with just a pull of the trigger.

"Fuck, hit!"

"Fight with the platoon leader, the dog-hearted chariot is lying down, brothers!"

The silent row of positions was like a ignited gasoline barrel, boiling and exploding instantly. Squad leader Ge Guicai looked at the Japanese soldiers who were killed, his eyes were red, he raised his arms and excitedly ordered to open fire in the trench.

砰

砰

"Da da da da da da da da da"

A row of soldiers opened fire one after another. The Chinese rifles of the three squads and the Czech light machine guns of the first squad also joined the battle, shooting at the Japanese troops from the front. The light machine gunner Jiang Qilong of the first squad also did not use the Czech light machine guns at this time. For burst shooting, you also hold the trigger and shine in front of you.

Immediately afterwards, the second gun commanded by Platoon Leader Wang of the heavy machine gun platoon and deployed on the right wing of the position also opened fire. The first gun commanded by He Wei formed a crossfire with a row of frontal rifles and light machine guns. .

The Type [-] heavy machine gun rang, the Czech light machine gun rang, and the Chinese rifle rang.

Frontal, left-wing, right-wing, forward, side, and oblique fire, all the firepower was concentrated on the open space left after the two tanks fell into the trap. That was also the path for the Japanese infantry to charge, and there was crossfire everywhere. shrouded in the shadow of death and blood.

Da da da da da da da da da—He Wei set up his Czech light machine gun, opened fire next to the heavy machine gun, golden bullet casings were thrown out, and the muzzle of the gun fired a vengeful shot with hot flames. bullet.

Two Type 20 heavy machine guns, two Czech light machine guns and more than 200 medium and formal rifles opened fire at a distance of [-] meters. Although the accuracy of shooting with rifles by many soldiers in a row was not satisfactory, the accuracy was There were not enough but there were too many rifles. The ruthless and fierce firepower devoured the Japanese army in an instant. No matter how elite the Japanese army was, it was impossible for them to react immediately after the tank suddenly fell into the trap. It could be said that they were blinded.

Under the crossfire, the front row of Luzhai fortifications almost turned into a death zone. Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard and were knocked down and killed were everywhere. There were injured Japanese soldiers screaming in agony, injured soldiers crawling around, and corpses with rifles and steel helmets in a pool of blood. , backpacks, rows of bullets scattered on the ground, the attacking Japanese infantry fell into complete chaos, and the Japanese tanks also came to a standstill due to the sudden situation.

Ding, ding, dong, dong - the sound of bullets hitting Japanese tanks and twisting and bouncing away, the screams of Japanese infantry, chaotic shouts, curses and command orders intertwined together.

He Wei quickly emptied a magazine and looked at the scene in the distance with endless joy in his heart. This is the price the invader should pay!
