    After the sound of gunfire came from Yaobian, An Guoliang's expression suddenly changed, and there was a firefight!  Listening to the sound of heavy artillery, you can guess that it is 10% Japanese, and it is very likely that they were the first to seize the county seat. Otherwise, there would be no need for such a dense artillery shell to deal with more than a hundred cavalry who did not have heavy weapons to defend the city.

    An Guoliang led the main force, who was anxious for Mei Sheng's safety, to whip his whip repeatedly. When they arrived, their eyes were bloodshot, and they saw the corpses of more than a dozen war horses and soldiers lying on the field, and the surrounding grass was dyed red.  Mei Sheng was also injured. His left arm was pierced by a bullet. It looked like he had been shot by a Type 38 rifle. Fortunately, the military doctor said that the bullet was not inside and he would be fine as long as he was covered with a bandage to stop the bleeding.

    "Captain, I have delayed everything. If I had been a step earlier, so many brothers would not have died!"

    Mei Sheng held his arms wrapped like rice dumplings and lowered his head, not daring to look into An Guoliang's eyes. The latter patted him and said nothing. He turned around and waved: "Everyone dismount, set up the radio and contact the headquarters. The third company will be the reserve team."  Pay attention to the horses to protect the baggage, and use the rest as infantry to attack the city!"

    According to the combat regulations of the National Defense Forces, the cavalry can leave on their own after losing their mobility advantage, but this time everyone knows that they must come in with bullets!  Because this is Shandong, an offshore area!  Once the Japanese soldiers take root, the powerful Japanese combined fleet will continue to send soldiers over. Even if the German army participates, it will be very troublesome. If Germany refuses to leave, it will still not be able to ensure the safety of the Yellow River mouth!

    Therefore, we must forcefully capture the county seat at any cost!

    The communications soldier immediately used hemp rope to connect several short poles he had brought together, then tied up the radio wires and erected them high. The communications soldier struggled to shake the handle to provide power, hoping to contact the commander in Nanjing as soon as possible.  department.

    Before the communication signal was connected, An Guoliang came to the front line. Through the telescope, his expression gradually became serious, because the Japanese soldiers had already deployed two Hotchkiss heavy machine guns on the tower, but the 75mm rapid-fire field artillery position could not be seen.  No, they should be deployed behind the city wall.  On the other hand, the lightly armed attack carried only 6 80mm mortars, 36 grenade launchers and 8 light machine guns. If it were not for the addition of new propellant packs, it would not even be able to reach the city wall.

    "Captain? How to fight?"

    Several battalion and company commanders were scratching their heads. Although the cavalry also had to undergo basic infantry training, it rarely involved infantry tactics. Since its establishment, the cavalry regiment has been practicing around tactics such as rapid raids and cutting. Now they have to become infantry soldiers. Everyone  Of course I had no idea.

    "There are heavy machine guns on the city tower. They must be spread out as far as possible. The farther the better! If the artillery goes to the dirt bag on the left, we can shoot straight away. We can hit it even if we hide behind it. As long as we divert the cannon away, I will report it to the staff.  Great credit! The light machine gun attracted the heavy machine gun to cover everyone's attack."

    "Bend your waist deeply! Run as fast as you can! I'll prepare all the grenadiers, and I'll have to climb to 500 meters to blast away those two heavy machine guns!" After making some arrangements, An Guoliang deliberately  The grenadiers gathered together to explain clearly. This was the biggest trump card in his hand. As long as the grenadiers could blow up two heavy machine guns, the battle would be half won.

    Seeing that everyone had tasks, but that he and the Third Company were not assigned, Mei was so anxious that her mouth blistered: "Captain, what about us?"

    "Get ready for an assault! If I can blow open the city gate, you can rush into the city as soon as possible to clear the artillery positions and take advantage of the submachine gun!" Mei Sheng didn't say anything after receiving the mission, and kept pressing bullets inside.  He cursed every time he pressed one, as if he had to kill all the Japanese soldiers to relieve his anger.

    "Spread out."

    "Twenty years ago we lost, and tens of thousands of innocent souls in Port Arthur are just across the sea! Nine years ago we watched others fight on the land, and the people of Liaodong suffered countless casualties! Now opposite us is Japan, the two culprits.  ! Everyone knows about the elite Japanese army, but I am not afraid, I am the National Defense Force! This is our land! Even if I have two legs, I still pee standing up!"

    "Defend the territory and defend the territory, and we will never retreat until we die!"

    With just a few words, An Guoliang completely boosted morale, especially the brothers and horses who were killed by artillery shells in the distance, which made the soldiers of the cavalry gnash their teeth.

    "Chong o!"

    A battalion of cavalry took the lead in bending down to open the skirmisher line. They followed the example of their infantry comrades, holding down their helmets and lowering their heads and running in a zigzag pattern. Their movements were not as skillful as the infantry, but their speed was not much different. In an instant, they ran hundreds of meters away.  .

    "Boom." The Japanese artillery battery opened fire. Six 75mm field rapid-fire cannons threw shells thousands of meters away at a speed of five rounds per minute. Suddenly, dozens of fireballs emitting orange poisonous smoke appeared in front of the battlefield.  , the power of Shimose's gunpowder was very shocking. Every time it fell, it would stir up large swaths of soil. Many soldiers were knocked to pieces by the air waves of the shells.

    Due to the lack of long-range firepower, the soldiers had to withstand artillery shells andThe explosion rushed forward, and the roaring fragments and steel balls scattered four to five meters away from the center of the explosion. Anyone who was hit was either dead or injured, and several people were even cut open by shrapnel and their bodies were bloody and bloody.

    After using the charge to attract the enemy artillery, the soldiers of the mortar squad carried the cannon and circled behind the soil bag.

    When the fastest soldiers finally crossed the artillery blockade, a terrible clicking sound took over the battlefield. Although the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun was not as good as the Maxim, it was still the biggest threat to the infantry when defending the city.

    The Japanese machine gunners, who have the most experience in using heavy machine guns, show how big the gap is between strict training and a grassroots team. Two machine guns crossed to form a dense line of fire. The two heavy machine guns alternated and repeatedly ravaged, and they did not shoot blindly, just  Just like a textbook, keep firing along two lines.  Whether it is a Madsen, Han-1 machine gun or grenade, to ensure suppression, it must be within at least 700 meters. Faced with this extremely difficult road, the Japanese army's ferocious firepower made the soldiers grit their teeth and move forward little by little.  Climb forward.

    "Machine gun."

    The machine gunner of the second squadron was a big man, with a big waist and broad shoulders, and he could run very fast while carrying a machine gun. When he heard the squad leader shouting, he jumped up to the dead horse and used the horse's corpse as a cover to quickly deploy his light machine gun.

    The machine gun opened fire!

    The chirping bullets hit around the firing hole of the Japanese heavy machine gun bunker, forcing the Hotchkiss heavy machine gun to pause its scream, but the other machine gun quickly turned around.

    At this critical moment, the mortar company behind the soil bag finally showed its power. The 80mm mortar shells were already equivalent to the 75mm rapid-fire cannon, and the power of the TNT yellow gunpowder was not inferior to Shimose gunpowder. Suddenly, the city wall was surrounded by  Fireballs were set off.

    The new smokeless propellant pack did not have obvious flames and smoke columns. In addition, the Japanese artillery observers did not react at first. It took a while to find the target location.  But the problem was that he couldn't see any targets even on the city wall. He could only judge from the green smoke that the enemy's artillery position should be there, so Oshima Yasuo jumped to his feet and ordered to point the command knife over there: "Baga  , suppress them!¡±

    The four 75mm field rapid-fire cannons quickly jumped their muzzles, and the remaining two still bombarded the infantry indiscriminately. However, without the four cannons, the frontal pressure dropped sharply, and more and more soldiers broke through the death line.

    "Hurry, hurry."

    The two grenadiers climbed to the tree and immediately began to adjust the barrel. In order not to expose themselves, the grenadier did not step on the footboard with his feet as usual. Instead, he asked the deputy lying on the ground to press it with his hands, and he entered the range by himself.  Reload.

    boom.

    The 50mm fragmentation grenade fell directly on the city wall. The two unprepared Japanese soldiers obviously did not expect that there were artillery among the enemy infantry, and they were immediately bloody.

    But after just three grenades were fired, the Japanese soldiers discovered the grenade that was firing. A row of bullets came and hit the big tree, causing small pillars of mud to rise around the prostrate grenades.  The Type 8 rifle has obvious advantages at long distances, so much so that the grenadiers cannot raise their heads at all.

    Seeing this, the machine gunners of the second squadron immediately fired back with light machine guns. Several rounds of bullets also caused sparks to fly on the front of the battlements. Taking this opportunity, the grenadiers once again adjusted and moved a few positions, and started a new round of attacks.  As more and more grenadiers aimed their barrels at the battlements, the entire county wall was shrouded in explosions. Especially after the two most threatening Hotchkiss heavy machine guns were given special attention, the surroundings of the machine gun fort fell even more.  Dozens of grenades.

    Boom!

    A grenade finally accurately fell into the position from the top of the machine gun fort. The explosion from a distance killed all seven Japanese machine gunners and completely destroyed the heavy machine gun.

    Seeing that the opponent's machine gun firepower was reduced by half, the soldiers jumped up one after another and began to rush towards the city gate, hoping to take this opportunity to rush to the city wall and blast open the city gate with explosive bags and grenades.

    As long as the city gate is broken, Japan will be dead no matter how powerful it is!

    After losing a heavy machine gun, Oshima Yasuo's expression changed a little. From the opponent's military uniform and helmet, he already knew that this was the Chinese National Defense Force now famous in the Far East!  A troop of National Defense Force cavalry suddenly appeared in Shandong. What does this mean?  In addition to the fact that Beiyang has no intention of fighting and the defense is lax and full of loopholes, it also shows that they have been guarding against themselves for a long time.

    He was not afraid of the opponent's light machine gun. Machine gun bullets could not break through the thick blue brick battlements, but the small cannon that could be operated by two people made his eyes widen.

    Lightweight artillery?  !

    A rifle can fire quickly beyond its effective range, is more powerful than a grenade, and has a curved trajectory that can bypass bunkers and trenches. How could China have such a thing?  You must know that the Japanese standard 37mm infantry gun requires at least three operations and weighs hundreds of kilograms!  Could it be Germany¡¯s newly invented ultra-light fire?gun?

    Oshima Yasuo naturally does not think that China made them themselves. In his eyes, rifles and mountain cannons are already the best weapons that China can make. This exquisite design must be provided by Germany, which has a good relationship with them.  If it weren't for the battlefield, he would have really wanted to run up and take a closer look, but now he had to block the attack first!  Seeing more and more Chinese soldiers starting to charge, he waved back with a sinister smile.

    ¡°Obviously, the Chinese ** team still doesn¡¯t know the number of machine guns in its own brigade!

    Seeing that one machine gun fort was destroyed and the other was suppressed by several light machine guns and grenade launchers, Mei Sheng suddenly jumped onto his horse regardless of the pain, and was ready to blow up the city gate and rush in to give these little carrots a bloodbath.  .

    "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

    Seeing his comrades rushing forward under the heavy bullets, he became more and more anxious, and even shouted out involuntarily!  Although some comrades fell down from time to time along the way and never got up, the city gate was getting closer and closer as his companions ran wildly. He yelled and jogged, and he was even thinking about how to use his submachine gun after blowing open the city gate and rushing in.  Firepower advantage.

    At this moment, a small crack suddenly opened in the closed city gate. An Guoliang's eyes were bloodshot almost instantly and he screamed: "No! There are heavy machine guns! Get down quickly, get down!"

    But his voice could not be heard on the battlefield. A German-made Maxim machine gun quietly stretched out the barrel. This was a high-end product captured in the Russo-Japanese War a few years ago. Oshima Yasuo was usually reluctant to use it. Now, waiting for the light machine gun to be discovered, many people  When adjusting the muzzle of the gun, dense bullets were already sweeping towards the sprinting soldiers.
