When Li Xiaochu arrived at Xiaguan, he saw the Japanese soldiers shooting wildly. Behind them, countless soldiers had already put down their weapons and surrendered.
There were four to five thousand of these surrendered soldiers. Li Xiao Chu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw this.
Four to five thousand people surrendering to three thousand Japanese? There were so many defeated troops behind, but no one stood up to organize a counterattack?
This was a Japanese team with only one team!
The army was defeated like a landslide, it was really a landslide!
Once they were defeated, they would become a bunch of ants!
"Mortars! Shoot the son of a b * tch Japanese and lure them over.”
Li Xiaochu saw countless commoners fall and could not help but shout angrily.
When countless mortar shells landed behind the Japanese, they realized that a national army had appeared behind them.
Judging from their military uniforms and helmets, they were a group of German Machinists.
..............
Daisuke Fujii, as the commander of the 35th regiment of the 9th division, had received orders to rush to Xiaguan as soon as he entered the city to stop the national army from crossing the river and fleeing north. Just as he was leading his troops to harvest these people who did not know how to resist, the explosion behind him made him very angry.
"Your Excellency, it's the Chinese Army. Judging from their military uniforms, they should be German Machinists. However, there were only a few hundred people.”
Daisuke Fujii's staff officer stood beside him and said loudly. He did not put Li Xiaochu's 3rd Battalion in his eyes.
"How dare a small Chinese troop attack the Empire's army? Pass down the order, order the 3rd Battalion to go and eliminate him immediately. Tell Shan Mu-kun to hurry up. There's still a feast waiting for us.”
Daisuke Fujii said with contempt.
"Ha Yi ~"
As the captain of the 35th regiment's 3rd brigade, Yamaki Ichiro was very proud.
When he received the order from Daisuke Fujii Sueji, he did not seem to care. In his opinion, he could send a squadron and a charge to defeat these hundreds of soldiers.
However, he couldn't disobey military orders. Otherwise, he would suffer.
Therefore, he led his battalion to attack Li Xiaochu's 3rd Battalion.
Although he was arrogant, he still got into the offensive formation.
It was a typical skirmish attack, with three people in a combat team. Each team advanced in turns under the cover of light machine guns.
This was a classic Japanese attack tactic. This tactic was developed by the Japanese based on their weapons and training.
Each team was divided into five combat teams. One of the combat teams was made up of light machine guns and their main mission was to cover. The other four combat teams used the light machine gun team as the core to attack in turns.
This was the tactic of the Japanese team. In the team, there would be a rotation between each team.
It could ensure that there would not be a large gap in the scattered troops, and there would not be any loopholes in the fire support. It could maintain a certain amount of continuous fire suppression within a certain range.
"Kill ~ Give ~ Give ~"
"Artillery suppression!"
Yamaki Ichiro pulled out his commanding sword and shouted with a ferocious expression.
The Type 92 Infantry Cannons and other artillery immediately fired at Li Xiaochu's 3rd Battalion.
The artillery shells continued to land around them, and many soldiers fell to the ground.
When Li Xiaochu saw this, she could not help but curse fiercely,""Damn bastard! Bullying me for not having a cannon."
They only had mortars. To be precise, the entire Yu 1st Regiment did not have any large-caliber artillery. They only had a few 82mm mortars. The battalion only had two 82mm mortars. Their firepower was not enough!
"Spread out your troops, spread out your light and heavy machine guns, and temporarily cease fire. Let the Japanese in before we fight.”
Li Xiaochu shouted. He didn't want to lose too many soldiers in this situation.
When Yamaki Ichiro saw that the national army had ceased fire, he could not help but say in satisfaction,""Yuxi, these Chinese soldiers are too weak. After a round of cannonballs, they did not dare to fight back. Order the troops to charge and defeat them in one fell swoop!”
Yamaki Ichiro's troops began to charge. From the officers to the soldiers, they did not put Li Xiaochu's troops in their eyes. They thought that as long as they rushed in front of these Chinese soldiers, they would surrender and be defeated.
Little did they know that what awaited them was the firepower of countless light and heavy machine guns.
They were getting closer and closer. The distance between them and Li Xiaochu's troops had already shrunk to a hundred meters!
However, Li Xiaochu still held his breath and did not open fire. He knew that they had to get closer, or they would be bombarded again.
When the distance was only 50 meters, Li Xiaochu finally ordered the troops to open fire.
Each platoon had six light machine guns and two Vickers machine guns.
Li Xiaochu's battalion had a total of 48 light machine guns.
There were thirty-six Wix machine guns.
The Vickers machine gun, its predecessor was the Maxim machine gun. It was finalized in 1912 and had more than 20 years of history.
This machine gun was still used by countries until 1972. The reason was simple.
This machine gun was lighter than the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun.
In this era, it was classified as a heavy machine gun. However, with the development of weapons in later generations, when the information on this machine gun was compiled, it was classified as a medium machine gun and not classified as a heavy machine gun.
In fact, it was the heavy machine gun of this era. Its power was not inferior to the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun at all. In fact, it was even stronger to a certain extent.
His firepower was also very terrifying. In history, there was a record of ten Vickers machine guns firing a million bullets in twelve hours.
Alright, that was not the main point. The main point was that in these 12 hours, none of the 10 Wix machine guns had ever jammed.
Even in the future, this record was something that many weapons could not compare to.
It had a simple structure and strong firepower. Although it was eventually eliminated by air-cooled weapons, its excellence was recognized by all countries.
This was also why, after half a century, there were still countries that were equipped with this machine gun in large quantities.
.........
A battalion was equipped with 48 light machine guns and 36 heavy machine guns. What kind of configuration was this?
What kind of divine configuration was this? How many heavy machine guns did a Japanese infantry unit have?
The Japanese only had 36 heavy machine guns and 108 light machine guns.
A regiment, a battalion, and a few hundred people equipped with heavy machine guns were more than an infantry regiment of the Japanese?
The number of light machine guns was almost half of the number of Japanese infantry regiments?
How effective would it be if such a powerful firepower was concentrated in such a small area?
Within a distance of fifty meters, this distance was very close. Even Zhang Wenbin, who had terrible marksmanship, could hit his head. To these veterans, he was a target!
Bullets rained down on the Japanese.
Countless bullets pierced through the heads of the Japanese soldiers one after another.
The bullets from the Vickers heavy machine gun pierced through one or two enemies at such a close distance.
The rain of bullets instantly suppressed the Japanese.
The firepower was too concentrated. In this area, the hail of bullets had far exceeded the saturation level.
Yamaki Ichiro, who was behind them, was stunned when he heard the sudden gunshot. Then, he saw his soldiers fall one after another like a bunch of bony nomi cards.
He was stunned. He was completely stunned. The powerful firepower destroyed his attack.
