Under the bombardment of the grenade, it did affect the guards, but the casualties were not large, normal at best, and many firepower points were shaken.
The rest was mainly due to the rising smoke and dust that affected the vision, and shooting soon resumed.
But no matter how fast the firepower is restored, there is still a gap.
This immediately inspired the puppet troops who felt that the Eighth Route Army's firepower was reduced.
Based on their current situation, they could either rush forward and be killed by the Eighth Route Army soldiers, or retreat and be killed by the Japanese Supervisory Team. There was no third way to choose from.
It's just too hopeless.
Now seeing that the firepower in front was slightly weaker, it was naturally used as a life-saving straw.
Even if this hope is like a mirage, we can only run madly towards this less than 30% chance of survival.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers also encountered trouble.
Just as Captain Kumagai thought, the machine gun barrels in their hands were really overheated.
The barrel of the DP-28 cannot be replaced. This is one of the major problems of the rotary machine gun.
Boss Degogarev took this problem into consideration when making improvements, so the DPM has the function of changing the barrel.
But, there is not much difference between having this function and not having it.
The barrel of the DPM is quite troublesome to remove, so most of the time, one barrel dominates the world.
This kind of thing is quite acceptable in a less intense field environment. After all, in a field environment, the combat rate of fire can continuously fire 235 bullets from 5 bullet discs, which is enough to complete a small battle.
But now this fierce battle situation has infinitely magnified the disadvantage of changing the barrel too slowly.
This gave the puppet troops an opportunity to take advantage of, and a few lucky ones finally climbed to the entrance of the village.
Although there are only a few people, for the Kumagai captain behind, this is undoubtedly a signal to attack.
"Artillery squadron, push forward!"
As soon as the order was given, there was a large-scale mobilization on the Japanese side.
The remaining members of the artillery squadron brought in four mortars.
The thing that can get into the hands of specialized artillerymen is naturally not the so-called "ultralight mortar" like a grenade, but the Type 97 90mm light mortar that Zhu Han had captured before.
This thing is an absolute rarity, and only a very small number of regiments can equip four to six doors.
All four of the Kumagai Regiment's Type 92 infantry guns were blown up, so naturally only the four light guns he obtained through his connections were left.
Even though this thing is only 30mm larger than the 60mm light force in Balu's hand, its power is more than doubled.
So although the four mortars look a little shabby, they are enough to cause trouble to the soldiers.
The characteristics of mortars are curved shooting and extremely fast firing rate.
Both of these points hit the sore spots of the Guard soldiers very accurately.
In the case of crazy bombing, many soldiers had to stop shooting and avoid artillery fire.
As a result, the firepower of the Guards dropped again.
The Japanese squadron leader who was keenly aware of the fighter plane immediately ordered a full-speed charge, and finally rushed to the entrance of the village before the eight-way firepower was restored.
Regardless of the short stretch of road now, it is densely covered with corpses of puppet soldiers.
But when Kumamoto saw that the Japanese army finally rushed to the entrance of the village he longed for, he felt that it was all worth it.
"Yuzhong Squadron, move forward immediately!"
Following the order, another squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed forward.
In such a small village, it is said that only one person can be thrown up at a time, and more than a hundred people can barely deploy it.
But now there are more than 700 Japanese and puppet troops alive alone. Now a squadron of 180 Japanese soldiers has been thrown in. It can be seen that Xiong Gu is ready to rush forward at any cost.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his decision.
A village like this is located on high ground with cliffs on three sides.
It is a good place for defense in military terms, but it is also a dangerous and dangerous place.
There is no way out here, no possibility of escape. The only thing every soldier can do is to resist desperately.
As long as the opponent's commander is not a fool, it is impossible for the troops who dare to defend here not to be fully prepared.
Although there was only the Eighth Route Army in the village, it was the kind of army that could have ten times the number of people besieging the Japanese army but still allow the Japanese army to break through calmly.
But Xiong Gu didn't forget that it was this army that he originally looked down upon that used those broken guns and little ammunition to hold them back for a day and a night.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the army, the defenders on the Liao County defense line fought hard with them.
The force on the opposite side was even more heavyweight. It wiped out the field heavy artillery regiment in a few hours, and launched a beautiful defensive counterattack. It wiped out a large group in one fell swoop, and even used the captured heavy artillery to inflict heavy losses on the large group twice in a row. deficit.
It can be said that Xiong Gu has long since put away his original casual attitude towards the Eighth Route Army, and instead pays attention to opponents of the same level or even high levels.
According to common sense, after several consecutive fierce battles, the ammunition in their hands should be insufficient.
But in terms of tactical operations, soldiers can be properly trained and their equipment improved to make them fearless of death and powerful.
But you must not baselessly imagine that your army is invincible.
Similarly, you can detect the enemy's weaknesses in a reasonable manner, cut off the enemy's supplies, and make the enemy unwilling to fight and flee.
But we must not baselessly imagine that the enemy's army is weak.
Putting all the hope of victory on the opponent's weakness is something that the stupidest commander can do. (Third brother, look at me)
What if the Eighth Route Army's ammunition is really enough to defend them until the end of time? Can they slowly and leisurely send their men up to be slaughtered?
Therefore, even if you can't see the coordinates of the firepower point on the opposite side, even if you know that this kind of thankless small-scale firepower covering most of the area is a waste of ammunition.
But without these, it's hard to say whether they could conquer this place.
"Withdraw! Let the first defense withdraw!"
Zhu Han did not intend to let the soldiers continue to be bombed in vain.
The Japanese just want to come up, so come on.
They are already at the door of their house, and rejecting people thousands of miles away is not something Zhu Han can do.
Please come inside, close the door and let the dogs beat the sap. This is his style.
In this case, it is not worth the gain to let the soldiers stand on the first line of defense.
After all, for the party with a small number of people, if they want to win, if they exchange heads for one, they will actually suffer a loss.
"Kill me!"
Facing the fierce firepower, the leading Japanese troops came forward with the determination to die.
There is definitely no hope for the puppet troops, so strictly speaking they are cannon fodder that clears the way for the follow-up troops.
This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is obviously different from ordinary enemies, and their firepower is not as fierce as usual.
Therefore, the best way to open the door is to rush in and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.
After all, despite the fact that the average height of the Japanese is not as high as that of the Chinese.
But in hand-to-hand combat, the decisive factor is not height, but weight.
Compared with the eight-way display of sallow complexion, thinness and malnutrition.
The short and stocky Japanese seemed to be very powerful.
In addition, the top brass of the Japanese attach great importance to hand-to-hand combat. The Japanese soldiers often have systematic training and know how to cooperate with each other.
Therefore, during hand-to-hand combat, the Eighth Route Army often required the sacrifice of four people to replace the life of one Japanese soldier.
But how could the Eighth Route Army soldiers with their superior firepower give you this opportunity?
The soldiers on the second line of defense immediately opened fire. Although the number of machine guns was much smaller, at such a close distance, a submachine gun could also be used as a small machine gun.
The fierce care made it impossible for the Japanese to get in.
Originally, the first line of defense used by the guardsmen was standing 30 meters in front of them, but they couldn't rush through it and couldn't take advantage of it.
"Quick! Hand cannon!"
"Take cover! Machine gun! Bring up the heavy machine gun!"
Following the order of the Jaap squadron leader, the Japs were finally organized at the entrance of the village.
Now they are only about 200 meters away from the second line of defense.
Especially after one round of grenade fire, the firepower of the guards was suppressed by another 30%.
If their heavy machine guns were actually placed.
At such a close distance, as long as the heavy machine gun fires, it will be a complete stand.
But just when the machine gunner among the four Japs had exhausted his strength and finally lifted the machine gun up and placed it, violent firepower suddenly erupted from a cave dwelling on the flank.
Just kidding, we are all soldiers. Who can’t see where the focus of the battlefield is right now?
Therefore, several unsuspecting heavy machine gunners were knocked down on the spot.
"Baga! Defeat the ambushing enemy and seize the heavy machine gun!"
Everyone present knew the stakes. Without the squadron leader's command, a squad leader immediately led half of his soldiers to rush forward.
