"Prodigal! He's too prodigal!"
"With this method of fighting, we will need to use up at least three units of ammunition. After this battle, how will we live in the future?”
On the east side of Gongda Yarn Factory, Sun Shaofu held a 98K, loaded it mechanically, and pulled the trigger. Every time the muzzle of the 98K burst into flames, he would grumble in pain.
In the past, the Yan Huang army did not have any concept of ammunition. It was only after the military advisor from Germany, who helped to build the German Machinists, proposed it that they began to use it.
A rifle had a base of 60 bullets. (Note: The soldiers of the Third German Army carry two leather triple ammo bags on their waists, each containing six bridge clips and 30 bullets, a total of 60 bullets. The 36th Division, 87th Division, and 88th Division of the Royal Guards follow the same pattern.)）
A light machine gun had a base of 1000 bullets. (Note: De San's MG34 is 20 50-round chains or drums, all pre-loaded.) The German Machinist's ZB-26 was equipped with 20 magazines with 400 rounds, and the remaining 600 rounds were scattered bullets. After the magazine was emptied, it required the assistant archer and the spitfire to manually reload.）
A heavy machine gun had a base of 2500 bullets. (Note: The German triple heavy machine gun is equipped with 10 300-round metal ammunition boxes. On the other hand, the German Machinists had 10 ammunition boxes with 250 rounds of canvas ammunition belts. The difference was not big.）
The mortar had a base of 80 rounds. (The Type 20 82mm mortar had four rounds in a box, so 80 rounds meant 20 boxes. This was the most important part of the National Army's three main firepower pillars. It was the only reason why they had enough ammunition to deal with the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.）
Basically, it was based on the number of magazines or ammunition boxes, combined with the equipment and soldiers 'weight, as well as the overall national strength and logistics support.
A large-scale battle would usually consume several to dozens of ammunition, millions or even tens of millions of bullets, grenades, and shells.
According to Zhou Weiguo's fighting style, the rifle would need to fire five to six bullets in a minute. Ten minutes would consume a base number.
The machine gun was even more terrifying. The light machine gun from the Soviet Republic had a magazine of 20 rounds, and it would be gone after a few long shots. The 50-round chain of the MG34 could only last for one minute at most.
If one were to calculate it, a single battle from a battalion was almost equivalent to the entire 36th Division's consumption in a day.
The result of the battle was that they only slightly suppressed the Japanese's firepower, allowing the soldiers of the Second Company to use rolling logs, tires, and gasoline barrels to clear the mines and advance more than a hundred meters.
The outermost perimeter of the Japanese's permanent fortifications was still two to three hundred meters away.
"Sigh! He hit it!"
"Old Sun, look, I've made the f * cking bunker lose its fire! Haha! How satisfying!" Long Wenzhang raised Suo Mi, who had yet to warm up, and started shooting.
Although he was a noob, his shooting talent was surprisingly high. With a few short shots, he managed to shoot the bullets into the firing hole of the opposite bunker and killed a Japanese Machine Gunner.
"D * mn, this works too…" Sun Shaofu was dumbfounded. He rolled his eyes and said,"You were lucky. If you have the ability, try again.”
In fact, he was thinking,'Sigh, after this battle, I have to practice my marksmanship…'
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Rumble ~~!"
"Rumble ~~!"
"Rumble ~~!"
Before Sun Shaofu could finish his sentence, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side suddenly fired into the sky. Explosions sounded one after another!
Then, the strange yet familiar roars of Somi and the MG34 could be heard!
"F * ck! He really went in!" Sun Shaofu's eyes widened and he blurted out,""As expected of the motherf * cking Zhou Weiguo. He's really something!”
Long Wenzhang, who was beside him, reacted very quickly. Taking advantage of the fire in the Japanese's backyard and the gap in their firepower, he made a prompt decision."Release all the rolling logs and tires!”
"Order the six cannons of the entire company to target the enemy's minefield and carry out carpet bombing and demolition! Second Platoon, Third Platoon, check your weapons and ammo. Ten grenades per person, prepare to attack!”
"Yes, sir!"
The cannoneers of the Second Company were all elites who had been through hundreds of battles. They were assembled in less than two minutes. Three 82-gun and three 60-gun were set up in a hidden place. They adjusted their shooting elements and loaded the shells in one go!
"Tong ~"
"Tong ~"
Amidst the strange sounds of bottle caps being opened, shells landed in the Japanese minefield and exploded. The shrapnel and debris triggered many mines, causing a series of huge explosions!
Two minutes later, hundreds of shells were fired, plowing the ground two hundred meters in front of them, creating countless craters of various sizes!
"Stop firing!"
After a round of attacks, Sun Shaofu raised his hand and shouted for them to stop. He ordered,""Two tanks, attack and advance. First Platoon, continue to suppress the fire. Second Platoon and Third Platoon, follow behind the tanks. Remember, no one is allowed to show their heads. When you get close, count to three after pulling the pin of the grenade before throwing it into the Japanese fortifications!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Sir, just wait and see!"
The soldiers of the 2nd Company were already full of energy. When they heard the order, they rushed forward!
"Don't fight, I'll go first!" Long Wenzhang roared.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and jumped onto the butt of a tank. He pulled out the grenades, unscrewed the covers, and lined them up.
"Motherf * cker, they're obviously just bumpkins, but they're even fiercer than German Machinists in battle.”Sun Shaofu's eyes widened as he looked at the soldiers who had only picked up their guns in the afternoon.
