The forward position of the Independence Battalion.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Second Company got out of the cat's ear holes one after another. Then, without having time to wipe the dirt off their faces, they entered the combat position, pulled the bolts of their guns, and loaded the ammunition.

Then he took off the grenades one by one from his waist, unscrewed the back cover, and placed them in front of him.

Several heavy machine gunners also reached out and pulled, and after hearing a few "kacha" sounds, the gun was already pulled open.

Then, they held the grips with both hands and leaned behind the machine gun with all their concentration.

The deputy shooter on the side moved the ammunition box, held the ammunition chain with both hands, and was ready to replace the ammunition chain at any time.

Soon, thousands of Japanese soldiers were approaching within 500 meters.

"beat!"

Tian Shuisheng, the commander of the second company, roared and took the lead in firing.

"Crack!"

The sound of a gun is an order.

The soldiers of the second company who were waiting in full formation decisively pulled the triggers, the gunshots rang out like explosions, and the dense bullets poured forward like a violent rain.

Among them, the three heavy machine guns of the second company were particularly ferocious. The bullets ejected from the muzzles dragged traces of light in the air. It looked like the king of hell was wielding a chainsaw. Wherever it passed, the Japanese soldiers suddenly

Like grass, they fell piece by piece.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 people had fallen screaming.

Since the terrain outside Wangjiacun was not particularly open, the Japanese were unable to form too long a skirmishing line, and the formation was quite dense. At this moment, facing the fire blockade of three heavy machine guns, they were just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The Japanese officer leading the team saw that the casualties were too great, so he immediately issued an order to stop the charge.

All the Japanese soldiers lay down on the spot as if they had been granted amnesty, then raised their guns and started to fight back.

Unfortunately, although the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship is much better than that of the Eighth Route Army, it is limited to a distance of 200 meters.

Now that the distance exceeds 500 meters, the so-called gap is no longer a gap.

No one can hit the other accurately, the competition can only be luck, firepower, and terrain.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers of the 4th Brigade did not continue to rush forward in the face of the heavy machine gun fire of the Second Company, but fell to the ground one after another, Wang Chengzhu couldn't help but secretly said a pity.

Otherwise, if these little devils charge forward stupidly, as long as they have enough bullets, the three heavy machine guns of the second company alone will be enough to give them a drink.

The two brigades of Japanese soldiers seemed to have a lot of troops, but if they were to form a dense formation and use fewer heavy machine guns, it would mean wasting more bullets.

This is not nonsense, but has historical basis.

In the historical Normandy battlefield, a German machine gunner killed thousands of Allied soldiers with just one heavy machine gun.

As the Japanese lay down one after another, they set up their guns and started shooting with the Second Company of the Independent Battalion, the situation suddenly became tense.

Dense bullets flew back and forth between the enemy and ourselves, and some bullets hit the ground, suddenly sending up clusters of smoke and dust.

There were also some bullets that flew past the heads of both the enemy and ourselves, until they lost the last trace of power and then fell to the ground unwillingly.

It is worth mentioning that because the Second Company of the Independent Battalion occupies a favorable terrain, although the Little Devils have an absolute military advantage, they are completely at a disadvantage in the firefight.

Even because the troops were quite dense and there were no decent bunkers to cover them, the casualties were several times that of the Second Company of the Independent Battalion.

Although the distance exceeds 500 meters, it is impossible to hit the target accurately, but as long as the vitality is strong enough, there will always be unlucky people hit by stray bullets.

Among them, the three heavy machine guns still pose the greatest threat to the Japanese.

Japanese artillerymen also kept trying to set up grenades and mortars in an attempt to knock out these three heavy machine guns.

But no devil could succeed.

Because when they just set up the gun mount, they were already targeted by three snipers from the Wolf Fang Special Forces.

Then he gave me a peanut.

At a distance of 5,600 meters, it is too easy for a qualified sniper to hit a stationary humanoid target.

Not only the Japanese artillery, but also the Japanese machine gunners, as well as grassroots officers, are also the key targets of the Wolf Fang snipers.

Facts have fully proved that the role of snipers cannot be ignored at any time...

Japanese troops attack position.

Masao Nishiyama, the commander of the 4th Brigade, was holding a telescope and paying close attention to the attack of his troops.

When I saw that the attacking troops were intercepted by the strong firepower of the independent battalion before they could get closer than 500 meters.

The old devil's face suddenly darkened.

At this time, the Chief of Staff Tada Ichiro next to him slowly put down his telescope and said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Independent Battalion is indeed more difficult to deal with than the other Eighth Route Army. The intensive artillery fire of the Imperial Army did not cause much damage to it.

casualties."

"The most important thing is that their ammunition was a little too sufficient, and they opened fire directly from a distance of 500 meters.

Even the Central China Army is not so generous, right?"

"It seems that the failure of Kasahara-kun and Sanada-kun is also reasonable."

After a pause, Tada Ichiro changed his voice and continued: "Also, I don't know if you have noticed, brigade commander, but there are precision shooters in this China army, and there is more than one.

They specially selected the artillerymen, machine gunners, and junior officers of the Imperial Army to shoot.

If it weren't for these precise shooters, the Imperial Army might have already captured the Eighth Route Army's forward positions."

"Compared to those three heavy machine guns, these Chinese shooters pose a greater threat to the imperial army.

Because the heavy machine guns of the China Eighth Route Army have been exposed, the imperial army can use artillery fire to destroy them at any time.

But those Chinese shooters are hiding in the dark, making it impossible for the imperial army to attack!"

Ichiro Tada is indeed an experienced battlefield analyst. He observes the battlefield situation and even some details extremely carefully.

A sharp analysis of where the problem lies.

"Well, Tada-kun, you observed very carefully and your analysis was very correct!"

Nishiyama Masao nodded heavily, fully agreeing with Tada Ichiro's analysis.

Ichiro Tada: "Your Majesty, Brigade Commander, what should we do now? Should we order artillery to bombard the positions of the Eighth Route Army in China again?"

"No, this is not enough!"

Nishiyama Masana shook his head and said: "First order the Imperial Army's artillery to continue bombarding the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army in China, especially the three exposed heavy machine guns.

Then order the tank and armor squadrons to immediately launch an attack on the China Eighth Route Army positions after the imperial artillery bombardment is over!"

"Hiyi!"

The Japanese messenger soldier next to him paused heavily, then turned around and ran down the hill to convey the order of brigade commander Nishiyama Masao.
