Chapter 1410 Shabby Attack
Nan Xikuan is a second lieutenant gun captain of the 2nd Japanese anti-aircraft gun Regiment, and also the corps leader of the 2nd anti-aircraft gun Regiment, and Nan Xiyoshi's nephew.
However, Nan Xikuan did not receive special care just because his uncle was the convoy leader.
The fact is just the opposite. Because he was the nephew of the team leader, Nan Xikuan was subjected to more stringent requirements, which is also the essence of Eastern culture.
Nanki Yoshihiko wanted to train his nephew into a talent as soon as possible in this way.
The Japanese devil Nan Xikuan did not disappoint his uncle's expectations and worked very hard.
The Japanese Army's Type 96 25mm caliber two-unit anti-aircraft gun uses magazines to supply ammunition, and the operation is very complicated. Each gun requires more than ten people.
However, as the cannon leader, Nan Xikuan doesn't have to do anything.
The cannon leader usually just needs to squat beside him to command.
But Nan Xikuan was not like this. The Japanese man directly occupied the gunner's position and personally controlled the anti-aircraft gun.
As Zhong Yi thought, after suffering continuous losses in Nanjing and Wuhan, the Japanese indeed learned lessons and made technical improvements to their anti-aircraft guns.
After improvement, the Type 96 25mm caliber anti-aircraft gun equipped for the 2nd Regiment of Anti-aircraft Cannon was changed from the Navy version to the Army version of the double-engineered unit, and the shooting angle was also improved. The highest shooting angle did not change, but the lowest shooting angle changed from the previous minus 15 degrees to minus 30 degrees, and even a downward strafing can be performed.
To put it bluntly, this is specifically improved for strafing infantry.
As a second lieutenant gunman, Nan Xikuan is certainly very aware of the twists and turns.
"Come on, the humble Chinese pig!" Nan Xikuan adjusted the shooting angle slightly downward, locked the front through the sight, and cursed silently in his heart, "Car on the charge quickly, let me beat you into flesh and blood!"
The irritating wait did not last long, and the national army began to prepare for artillery fire.
Rows of artillery shells roared and landed around the anti-aircraft gun positions and exploded.
Although the anti-aircraft gun position was built on the ridge, Nan Xikuan was unmoved at all, and was even too lazy to hide in the ring fortifications that had been built behind.
Nan Xikuan was not careless, but had confidence in his artillery.
In addition to their anti-aircraft artillery wing, the 1st Cavalry Brigade also has a field artillery wing. The field artillery wing will tell the opposite Chinese artillery what is the real artillery.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the cavalry artillery corps belonging to the 1st Cavalry Brigade roughly locked the position of the Chinese artillery through the ballistic curve, and then launched artillery fire suppression.
After several rounds of artillery battles, the Chinese artillery was completely lost.
Seeing this scene, a grim smile slowly appeared on the corner of Nan Xikuan's mouth, and his hands subconsciously clenched the anti-aircraft gun's grip because he knew that the Chinese army was about to start charging.
Suddenly, a thrilling military roar sounded in front of him.
The next moment, dozens of figures appeared in the mountains and fields, and also in Nan Xikuan's vision.
Seeing that there were less than fifty Chinese soldiers, Nan Xikuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Is this a little different from what I expected?
Nan Xikuan had several good friends serving in the 8th Infantry Regiment. They once wrote to say that the Chinese army liked to charge intensively, and sometimes they even took off their clothes and walked in line to show their momentum.
But now, where are there any dense formations? Is it okay to have only a few dozen?
Is it that I participated in a fake Sino-Japanese War? Is it that the opposite is a fake national army?
The distance between these few dozen Chinese soldiers was very wide, and they were at least ten or twenty meters apart. What surprised Nan Xikuan even more was that these Chinese soldiers actually had formations, usually in groups of three people, nine people in groups, and then a few twenty people filled the entire front.
What's going on? Nan Xikuan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The Chinese soldiers' straggler lines are so wide and the formation is so sparse, should they be fired or not?
Let’s open fire, it’s like a cannon hitting a mosquito, but if you don’t open fire, will you watch the Chinese soldiers rush to them and fight them in hand-to-hand combat?
Although they are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, it seems that this program should not be, right?
Just when Nan Xikuan was stunned, the infantry lurking in the fox pit in front had already opened fire.
The crisp gunshots of the Type 38 rifle were instantly heard in the mountains and fields, but they were sparse and sounded a little cold.
When Nan Xikuan looked at it again, no Chinese soldiers fell down. These Chinese soldiers had very skillful tactical movements, with various tactical movements of rolling, crawling and even splitting. They never walked straight lines during the march, and were usually zigzag lines. Therefore, although the Japanese scattered soldiers were busy, they did not hit any of them.
After all, the distance between the two sides is still five hundred meters away.
At this distance, only heavy machine guns or anti-aircraft guns can pose a certain threat.
But Nan Xikuan was still a little hesitant because he felt that it would be a loss to use anti-aircraft guns to catch fire in a Chinese soldier. You should know that their shells are also very limited.
Nan Xikuan was hesitating, and the Japanese commander did not give an order.
So only the scattered soldiers were firing, and the Japanese light and heavy machine guns remained silent.
So Nan Xikuan and his dozen artillery soldiers could only stand on the position and watch coldly.
The Chinese soldiers' advancement speed seemed slow and actually fast, and soon they advanced to within 300 meters.
At this time, a Type 92 heavy machine gun on the Japanese position finally opened fire. Accompanied by the sound of "puff puff puff" bolt, a dazzling tongue of flame swept across the hillside ahead instantly.
A Chinese soldier rushing in front of him subconsciously fell down, but he was still slow. He was swept by the flames and rolled down the hillside with a wail. The two Chinese soldiers following behind him immediately fell down and hid in the ravines. The flames roared quickly, causing smoke and dust to splash around the ditch, but failed to hit the Chinese soldiers inside.
The Chinese soldiers in this direction were suppressed, but the Chinese soldiers in other directions were still advancing forward.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun immediately turned around and violently spitted firepower at the three Chinese soldiers next to it. Another Chinese soldier fell in a pool of blood, but the other two Chinese soldiers still hid in the ravines in advance.
At this time, a scene that surprised Nan Xikuan appeared. The two Chinese soldiers who had just been suppressed suddenly rushed out of the gully again. What surprised him even more was that there was another Chinese soldier behind these two Chinese soldiers, and these three Chinese soldiers once again formed a commando formation in the shape of a font.
Nan Xikuan vaguely felt that the commando formation in the shape of the font should have what it means.
However, with Nan Xikuan's insight, it is obvious that he cannot see the trick.
Nan Xikuan suddenly felt a little disappointed. The expected battle scene did not appear. The battle scene in front of him was only a few dozen national troops, which was so cold.
