After discovering and suppressing the Chinese machine gun fire, Fukushima Souchang led six Japanese soldiers in two groups to attack Cheng Xiao's group, while the Japanese machine gunner and an ammunition hand continued to provide them with fire cover.
The Japs were already very proficient in squad and group tactics. The "three-three system" that became the pinnacle of the light infantry in later generations was derived from the Japs' squad tactics. Boss Yurong not only learned and applied it, but also carried it forward.
There is no shame in learning war during the war. The current team tactics of the company come from Luo Ying's words and deeds. They are the N point zero version of the Japanese tactics and are bloodline suppression.
Captain Fukushima was already very cautious, but he still didn't expect that the Chinese still had two teams hiding behind them. In his understanding, machine gun firepower was the core of the team, and he never thought that the real trump card was the other two. Counter firepower.
When Fukushima Cao Zhang led a few Japanese soldiers to jump over two planes of inverted fire, Cao Kun's submachine gun muzzle was slowly protruding from behind a pile of rubble, less than twenty meters away, right in front of them. behind...
Cold sweat broke out on Fukushima's neck. He felt Amaterasu waving to him from the sky——
"Baga, there is an ambush!"
The sound of the submachine gun behind him drowned out his voice. He didn't even need to deliberately aim at twenty meters away. The moment the submachine gun rang out, the mouth of the sack in Amaterasu's hand had already opened.
Captain Fukushima fell down very unwillingly, with three more bleeding holes on his back. The luck of the other Japanese was not much better. Two were mowed down by submachine guns, two were killed by rifles, and the remaining three were killed. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away;
Cao Kun's submachine gun fired again, and he emptied the magazine with two consecutive bursts of fire, knocking them down at the same time. The submachine gun's advantage in street fighting was brutal.
Now it was the machine gunner's turn in the distance to be dumbfounded. His first reaction was to turn the machine gun 30 or 40 degrees, and then eliminate Cao Kun and others who were exposed on the side.
The ambush point selected by the reverse firepower always has a 60-degree angle with the center line, which means that there is a 60-degree angle between Cao Kun and others and the Japanese machine guns;
If they want to hit Cao Kun and others, they must turn the machine gun. This time becomes the life-saving time for Cao Kun and others. As soon as they hide under a ruin, the Japanese machine gun bullets arrive.
One soldier moved a little slower and was hit in the thigh by a Japanese soldier. He fell to the ground. Cao Kun dragged him under the rubble and finally saved a small life.
"Squad leader, I was shot. It hurts. Will I die?"
"If the ball dies, it will bore an eye, and at most it will cost a leg.
Just lie down and the gods won't be able to save you if you get hit again! "
Cao Kun yelled, then quickly put on a magazine and fired at the Japs, attracting their firepower;
The two soldiers on the other side quickly jumped towards the Japanese machine gun position. Without the protection of infantry, their threat was greatly reduced.
The two of them were soon left in a detachment. The Japanese machine gunner was already in a frantic state. The fear of death in his heart made him keep shooting at the ruins where Cao Kun and others were hiding. It didn't matter whether he hit or not, at least he could Take courage.
He didn't even notice the rifleman approaching them from the other direction, but after he fired a bucket of bullets, the ammunition man began to load bullets for him in a panic;
The Taisho 11-year-old rifle uses a unique hopper to feed ammunition. It needs to be regularly oiled and maintained, otherwise it will easily jam.
The Tomosaka 6.5mm standard bullet is used, which can be used with the 38 rifle bullets;
The 38 rifle uses a 5-round bridge clip to feed ammunition. The two bullet boxes in front of the Japs' waist are equipped with 6 bridge clips, totaling 30 rounds of ammunition. The long magazine at the back contains 12 bridge clips, with 60 rounds of ammunition. .
When feeding the crooked machine gun, you only need to place the bridge clips that have been oiled in advance and place them flat in the magazine. This process takes about ten seconds;
The ammunition hand was nervous and loaded incorrectly several times. Their machine gun team commander carried 60 rounds of ammunition, and the remaining three people each carried 150 rounds of ammunition, for a total of 510 rounds of ammunition;
The 60-round magazines on the back of other Japs' waists are also for the machine guns. They are used tightly against the machine guns first, so the Japs' machine gun firepower is still very continuous, but reloading is a bit annoying.
In the ten seconds it took the Japs ammunition hand to reload, the two soldiers who had rushed towards them had already rushed to a place thirty or forty meters away from them;
One person took cover, and the other took out a wooden-handled grenade and threw it casually. The grenade drew a beautiful parabola, and then accurately landed half a meter behind the Japanese machine gunner.
There was an explosion, and flying shrapnel instantly sent the two Japanese to meet their Amaterasu. The Chinese Prince of Hell generally would not accept them.
So far, the Fukushima detachment has also been eliminated by Squad 5, using a set of ambush tactics to eliminate two Japanese detachments. Squad Leader Cao is very satisfied. With these military achievements, he can probably be promoted to platoon leader!
With the increasing number of casualties among company and platoon-level officers, military academy students can no longer meet the demand. Sergeant squad leaders like Cao Kun can be promoted to platoon leaders by the front line as long as they have sufficient military merit.
Cao Kun stopped when he saw the situation was good, quickly cleaned the battlefield, and evacuated the ambush point;
There are regulations in the first company that the same tactics cannot be used continuously at the same ambush point, no more than twice;
Team 5 made a huge profit this time and evacuated the ambush point one by one with satisfaction, leaving only the corpses of the Japanese on the ground.
What Cao Kun didn't know was that his squad had killed the most Japs in this battle and suffered the fewest casualties. He would soon be caught as a model by the company commander and become the star squad of the entire regiment. This was something to be said later.
At the headquarters of the Iida Battalion, Major Iida became more and more unable to sit still. Since the Doi Squadron entered the Chinese position, continuous gunfire could be heard at the beginning, and the fighting was very lively;
Later, the two sides fought in a state of stalemate, and then the gunshots became more and more sparse. An experienced commander would be able to tell that the gunshots were almost all German weapons, and Japanese weapons were rarely heard.
Even though Major Iida had no grassroots command experience, he could still feel that the Japanese who rushed in were already in danger. Not to mention capturing the Chinese positions, even the warriors who entered were unable to be saved;
The Iida Battalion only has four squadrons in total. If one squadron is lost so easily, the Wing Commander will not let him go. Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat and said to the signal soldier beside him:
"Quickly, let the bugler blow the rally call for Doi Squadron and order them to withdraw. Hurry!"
The last sentence was almost a roar. He seemed to be aware of some bad consequences, and secretly prayed to the pervert Amaterasu for his blessing, hoping that it would come in time.
A minute later, the Japs' rallying horn sounded. The Japs who were suffering, such as Meng Dahe, under the command of the squad leader or squad leader, took turns to cover and began to withdraw from the ten-mile street;
But after all, the ten-mile long street is not the devil’s back garden. You can come and leave as you please. Then you have to ask the Chinese people whether they agree;
Ouyang Zheng saw that the Japanese were running away with oil on their feet, so he would not let him go easily. He led the whole company to take advantage of the familiar terrain and began to pursue, leaving behind a few short-legged Japanese from time to time. When he was about to chase out of the ten-mile long street, Yilian stopped the pursuit and ordered loudly:
"Stop fucking chasing me, get back quickly, go down the tunnel, and guard against artillery fire!"
I have to say that his sense was quite good. Not long after the company withdrew, the artillery fire directly under the Japanese regiment came over overwhelmingly;
After the Japanese infantry finished charging, they started shelling again...
