The offensive techniques of the puppet army are not complicated.
The Japanese used artillery fire to clear out their positions on the Eighth Route Embankment.
Then the light and heavy machine guns conducted fire suppression. At the same time, the puppet infantry moved forward to approach the Eighth Route Army Embankment Formation and used grenades and other means to force the Eighth Route Army out of the bunker. The Japanese precision shooters then shot and killed the Eighth Route Army who left the bunker.
The fighting styles of the puppet army and the Japs are slightly different. The Japs emphasize the collaborative killing of rifles and machine guns. Since the Japs' rifles are more accurate, they place more emphasis on the precise killing of enemies by rifles.
The puppet army was poorly trained and their marksmanship was naturally quite poor. They simply relied on the numbers of people to close in and shoot at random to kill the teacher.
If we hope that the puppet troops can really come in handy, we must use light and heavy machine gun cover to allow the puppet troops to rush into the eight-way position and form a crushing force.
Once the attack is thwarted, the puppet army has only one reaction: take cover.
To expect the puppet troops to risk their lives by selling their ancestors and surrendering to aliens in order to survive can only mean that there is something wrong with the commander's mind.
Directly across from the stone bridge, the heavy machine gun ballistics began to wreak havoc, and the squatting puppet troops fell to the ground rapidly from east to west dominoes.
Just like harvesting wheat in autumn, only a few stubbles are left.
There were intensive screams on the bridge.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, they all jumped into the river.
I heard from the Imperial Army that as long as you fall into the water, if the bullet doesn't hit your head, it won't have much lethality at all.
There was a loud splash of water, and no one among the puppet troops attacking on the bridge was left standing.
The puppet soldiers who were on the stone bridge were not immediately interested. The puppet soldiers looked at the stone bridge without guardrails and it seemed that it was not high from the river beach, so they jumped down immediately.
I thought that if I could hide under the stone bridge, I would have no problem saving my life.
boom.
The mine exploded with a delay of about two seconds.
Then, the soldiers hiding on the opposite slope of the river embankment began to drop bombs.
The smoking grenade seemed to have no target. It flew into the sky from the reverse slope and then fell to the river beach.
Although the puppet troops crossing the river from the pontoon were not shot by machine guns, they were hit by a wave of grenades.
Although Hachi's grenade could not be thrown as far as the pontoon bridge, it did knock down the wooden piles holding the pontoon bridge on the other side of the river.
The diagonal stay rope on the west bank fixed by the Japanese engineers could not be pulled at all.
I watched helplessly as the pontoon drifted downstream.
The puppet soldiers who had already passed by the river lay on the ground and fired randomly at the river embankment. They did not have the courage to stand upright and attack.
The battlefield situation took a turn for the worse.
The Japanese captain who was commanding from behind screamed anxiously, and kept hitting the palm of his left hand with his right fist.
It was clear that a single charge could solve the problem, but the Imperial Alliance Army was just a little short of it.
Of course, I also saw the machine gun on the top of the turret that seemed to be firing.
However, based on his many years of experience, he simply did not believe that the Tubal machine gun on the roof of the turret could pose a threat to the Royal Air Force.
Therefore, his focus is still on the frustration of the puppet army's offensive.
It soon became clear that there was a heavy machine gun in front of the stone bridge that caused huge damage to the puppet troops.
Tubalu is too cunning!
He actually hid the heavy machine gun behind the smoke.
However, in the face of the powerful firepower of the imperial army, they were all scum.
After pulling out the command knife, he yelled: "Artillery, shoot down the eight-way heavy machine gun."
The captain was only responsible for giving orders. It was up to the staff and artillery commanders to figure out how to shoot down the heavy machine gun on the Eighth Route Army.
The artillery squadron leader who received the order had rich combat experience and immediately determined that the Eighth Route heavy machine gun position was located due east of the stone bridge.
He immediately ordered his artillery groups to set the shooting parameters along the opposite road.
Although observers are temporarily unable to give the specific location of the eight-way heavy machine gun.
Then I will first use mortars to blow up everything along the highway within a range of 200 meters from the river embankment to the east. I don’t believe how long you can go on with a heavy machine gun.
Mortar position in front of the stone bridge.
The Japanese artillery was not busy.
The height adjustment machine that has been adjusted earlier does not need to be moved. You only need to adjust the leveling position to the road. This is not difficult at all.
The mortar has a high elevation angle when shooting at close range. After each shell is fired, it rotates half a circle to raise and lower the gun, lowering the muzzle to extend the artillery fire.
There are a total of twelve mortars in Shiqiao, which can completely cover the eight-way heavy machine gun area with dense artillery fire!
No matter where your heavy machine gun position is, after this round of shelling, it will be reduced to scum.
To be on the safe side, the Japanese staff asked the infantry fire grenade team to join in the shooting preparations.
It takes time for the order to be conveyed, and a minute passes.
The observation posts began to wave flags.
Follow the order
The three fighter jets flew towards the Eighth Route Army position again, but this time they were still in a continuous bombing formation.
Place the target in the turret.
Obviously, if you use an airborne machine gun to dive and hit the turret, at most two bullets can hit the top of the turret.
If the Eighth Route Army hides in advance before the ballistic path arrives, this attack will have no effect at all.
Fortunately, fighter jets do not only have machine guns.
Four 25-kilogram aerial bombs were hung underneath the Type 97 fighter jet.
In a battle, after the battle begins, the fighter jets may straf the ground back and forth for more than ten rounds.
Usually, they wait for Tubal Road to fire back, and then bomb the Eighth Route machine gun fire position.
In the wave on the river embankment just now, the eight roadblocks were scattered like salted fish. The pilot felt that it was a waste to drop expensive aerial bombs to kill one or two roadblocks!
Therefore, the pilot did not drop any bombs in the first round of strafing.
Fighters are more expensive and must eliminate all threatening targets.
The pilot decided to blow up the eight-way anti-aircraft machine gun emplacement on the roof of the turret first.
The bombs dropped by the aircraft do not fall vertically, but hit the target in a parabola. The aerial bombs with tail fins will not approach the vertical ground until they fall to a certain distance.
Fighters are different from bombers. It is not difficult to ensure that the dropped aerial bombs accurately hit the small gun towers.
To ensure the hit rate, the lower the flying altitude and the slower the speed, the more accurate it will be.
However, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun position on the top of the turret, so flying too low is risky.
Three planes have twelve aerial bombs. If they run back and forth and bomb two rounds, there should be no problem in blowing up a turret.
The roof of the turret.
Looking at the Japanese fighter jets getting closer and closer from the north.
Madman Yang, who was wearing a steel helmet, urged with an anxious look on his face: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Hu Yi had already slipped along the rope to the bottom of the gun tower and was running towards the second anti-aircraft machine gun position on the roof of the puppet barracks.
Two observers are pulling the rope to lower the chicken neck heavy machine gun
The deputy shooter walked up the stairs holding the light machine gun and ran down the stairs.
Guerrilla tactics mean to shoot and change places.
The same is true for heavy machine gun positions.
Mancang and his machine gun crew had just moved south when the enemy's dense artillery shells began to hit the road.
Pillars of smoke and dirt suddenly rose into the sky.
Buzz buzz.
The huge roar of fighter jets was deafening, mixed with the roar of aircraft bombs, and could be clearly heard mixed with the explosion of artillery shells on the highway.
Madman Yang quickly hung two military hats on the dummy's head on the top of the gun tower.
He pulled the rope with his gloved hands and quickly jumped off the top of the turret with his body.
Phew. Phew.
The Japanese pilot was a veteran, and the two bombs staggered and hit the north side of the turret.
One of the two aerial bombs hit the base of the turret, and the other hit the north wall of the turret.
Boom. Boom.
The earth is shaking.
Two huge air waves instantly formed near the explosion point, one at a time and one after another. They violently swept the body of Madman Yang, who had landed on one foot, two to three meters away.
The Japanese must have attached great importance to this stronghold. They spent a lot of effort on building it. The walls of the turrets were covered with bricks, and wooden piles were inserted into the rammed earth filled in the middle. The wooden piles were also reinforced with horizontal circles of thorns.
As a result, only the northern side of the very strong turret was partially destroyed by the bombing.
The exposed wooden piles and reinforcing thorns are clearly visible.
The entire turret shook but was not directly blown down.
Fortunately, he landed from the southeast, and the shock wave was blocked by the powerful turret.
Otherwise, the shock wave alone would kill him directly.
Not to mention that the outer bricks of the turret wall were blown away in all directions, and any brick could knock him directly into hell.
Then, bricks, gravel, shrapnel, and sand that were blown into the sky continued to fall.
Mortar shells continued to explode on the road next to the blockhouse.
The roof of the camp of the puppet army stronghold.
Hu Yi emptied a magazine. Based on his feeling, a bullet must have hit the plane that just dropped the bomb.
Facing the plane approaching again.
Hu Yi skillfully pressed the full magazine into the Czech machine gun.
The gun was pulled with a clatter.
As the first plane hit its target, a huge column of smoke formed.
The second fighter jet also flew at ultra-low altitude and dropped bombs, at least a hundred meters above the ground.
Hu Yi calmly did not press the trigger.
Because even if you hit it, it's useless!
Madman Yang, who was crawling and rolling, slipped into the bunker with a whoosh.
The assistant shooter came in first carrying the heavy machine gun and had not yet positioned the machine gun.
Crazy Yang came to the back of the newly opened shooting hole as big as a basket, raised his thumbs and squinted his eyes alternately to look south.
Then, take out your pen and start calculating.
Crazy Yang’s plan is indeed crazy.
He seemed to have calculated that the Japanese planes in the sky would not be able to communicate directly with the infantry on the ground.
Otherwise, any Japanese squadron leader could understand the situation in front of him.
The 92nd Infantry Artillery was directly mobilized to blast away the turrets, and the fighter jets in the sky directly fired at the heavy machine gun positions filled with warehouses.
The battle can be declared over.
However, the Japanese did the opposite and used mortars to attack machine gun positions.
Use expensive aerial bombs to deal with the blockhouses whose walls are nearly one meter thick and have solid boards.
Although they used only small tricks, they fully grasped the on-site command weaknesses of the Japanese commander.
All the arrangements are waiting for the Japanese planes to carry out the second wave of frontal bombing on the gun towers.
