Rebirth of the National Marshal

Mao Yuanshan had also seen the Japanese attack, which was completely different from what he saw on TV series in later generations. In those anti-Japanese dramas, the Japanese devils were gathered in a large group and rushed forward directly. However, this scene would never be seen in a real war. Only a stupid officer would let his troops rush forward in a swarm, which would provide targets for the enemy's machine guns.

The real Japanese devils' attack was widely distributed, and all the Japanese soldiers within a unit were far apart and would not be close to each other at all. Moreover, they kept their bodies very low on the way forward, so it was not easy to hit them. Of course, the firepower of the Chahar army was another matter. Whether it was a machine gun or a rifle, the number of bullets fired per minute was astronomical. No matter how scattered the Japanese devils were, it was possible to hit them.

For example, in the current situation, several Japanese soldiers are hiding behind an earth wall and they don't come out at all. They wait for the time when our side is paralyzed and then they start to shoot. You may not be able to impress them even if you shoot them a dozen times, but they can hit you with one shot because their shooting skills are more accurate. If there are soldiers from the security group here, they will not care at all and will let the people behind them kill them with a mortar shell.

If the mortar is too far away from them, they will not risk rushing up. They have other ways. We still have heavy machine guns. Every platoon has large-caliber machine guns. Just look at the earth wall and you can shoot through it with a single bullet. These guys want to rely on this earth wall for cover, which is simply a pipe dream. We will beat you into a hornet's nest in a moment.

But this was something only the soldiers of the security corps could do. The officers and soldiers on the front line had never seen such a large-caliber machine gun. They might have seen it in some magazines, but that kind of machine gun had not yet been fully equipped in the United States, let alone in China. Even if it was equipped, they could not afford to replenish the bullets. They could only rely on human lives to continuously shoot at the earth wall. However, due to their poor marksmanship, they could not kill the Japanese. Instead, every time a Japanese head popped up, a soldier on their side would fall down.

The two sides soon came into close combat. The Japanese veterans were not only accurate in shooting, but were also very skilled in using grenade launchers. Less than five minutes after the start, two heavy machine gun bases were destroyed by grenade launchers. Many people said that the Japanese veterans' skills in using grenade launchers had reached perfection. Within a range of 300 meters, they could almost hit whatever they pointed at.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed the case in actual battles. Although it is impossible to achieve a 80% hit rate, % is definitely no problem, just like now, two Maxim heavy machine gun bases have been destroyed.

"Damn it, how do we fight this battle? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that if we discover the Japanese devils' grenade launchers, our machine gun positions must be moved immediately. If we don't move, they will have food in their mouths and they can eat it whenever they want. Do we have a lot of heavy machine guns? Now we only have a dozen heavy machine guns in the entire division. You all should pay attention to them. They are more precious than our heads!" Lu Jiasheng was very angry. He had told these guys a long time ago that if they failed to move the heavy machine guns within three minutes after discovering the enemy's grenade launchers, then they would basically be scrapped. I don't know how these guys remembered it.

"Did you see the location of their grenade launchers?" Lu Jiasheng asked the observer next to him.

"There should be one at position 312 on the left, but no others have been found yet." Because the observers were not professionals, they could not say for sure about this thing.

Originally, Lu Jiasheng wanted his artillery to destroy their grenade launchers, but after hearing this, he did not dare to fire. If he fired, his artillery position would be exposed. Our artillery fire is definitely not as powerful as that of the Japanese devils. If the artillery position is exposed, we will soon be hit by their artillery.

This is the disadvantage of lacking artillery. If they had enough artillery, they would have greeted them with their own artillery by now.

"The division commander discovered a heavy machine gun base at position 315." I don't want to say anything about the ability of this observation post. When he discovered this heavy machine gun position, other people's Type heavy machine guns had already started firing at our position.

The situation now is different from before. The old soldiers are afraid of machine guns, and the new soldiers are afraid of cannons. What this means is that the lethality of machine guns is actually slightly stronger than that of cannons, and sometimes even stronger. So now we have to use our precious cannons.

In fact, the battlefield is a relationship of mutual loss. For example, if you use artillery to destroy the enemy's heavy machine gun position, then the enemy's artillery will discover you and will immediately attack your artillery position. In this way, it all depends on your family background. If you have a rich store of weapons at home, then there will be no problem in fighting like this, but if you don't, then you have to use the knife with the blade.

The Japanese devils now have sufficient weapons. Although they do not have some heavy weapons, such as tanks, they are not short of small artillery and bullets. After all, Japan is the first industrial power in Asia, so it should have no problem supporting a local war.

The grenade launcher just now did not force Lu Jiasheng to use his precious artillery, but the current heavy machine gun position must be used. If the enemy's heavy machine gun suppresses our machine gun, then the next thing will be difficult to deal with. Any action we want to take must be under the enemy's heavy machine gun, which will be troublesome.

If this goes on, the morale of our soldiers will drop. No matter what they do, they are under the suppression of the other side's heavy machine guns. They will feel uncomfortable doing anything. If the morale is down, it will not be so easy to boost it again.

The result of this small-scale encounter was that the artillery successfully destroyed the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, but their few artillery pieces were also destroyed by the Japanese bombing.
