The 369th Regiment relied on the defense line set up by the two surrounding mountains. There was almost no blind spot for shooting. No matter where the Japanese were hiding, they would always be taken care of by the firepower on one side.
The characteristics of a grenade launcher were too obvious. Those who hid behind cover and sneakily fiddled with some small gadgets on the ground were either grenade launchers or mortar teams.
When the second round of grenade launchers began, the grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment focused their attention on their Japanese counterparts.
With an absolute advantage of ten to one, the bombardment on the battlefield was temporarily in a vacuum because the grenade launchers re-ranged and adjusted the angle after selecting the target.
The well-trained soldiers of the island army did not let go of this short gap and opportunity. The moment the light machine gunners of the island army realized that the bombardment had stopped, they immediately set up their machine guns and took cover. Even if they did not see the target, they still opened fire at the first moment and started to suppress the Chinese army lying in ambush on the mountain.
According to the experience of the island army fighting against the Chinese army in the past three years, in Jin Province, as long as the island army's light and heavy machine guns opened fire, the Chinese army would be suppressed to the point that it would be difficult to emerge.
This was the suppressive firepower advantage brought about by industrial capabilities. The light machine guns of the island army could fire continuously during every round of charge of the Chinese army, but the Chinese army was extremely lacking in countermeasures.
With the Chinese army's rifles, the island army's grenade launchers would be able to suppress them.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the island army fired their machine guns at the same time, it would not be a problem to suppress the Chinese army.
But that was only under normal circumstances.
Hearing the crook's unique voice, the soldiers of the 369th regiment's machine gun squad revealed a rare smile.
These days, in order to avoid attracting too much attention from the island army, the riflemen were only testing the waters in the small-scale exchange of fire with the island army. The 500-plus MG-34 general-purpose machine guns could be said to have not fired a single shot.
Now, the regiment commander was finally determined to fight a battle of annihilation. All the main weapons could be fired freely. How could they not be excited?
The unique " da da " sound of the crooked light machine gun was like a spell to the soldiers of the 369th Regiment.
Although the battle line in the mountainous area was limited, less than 300 of the 500-plus MG34 general machine guns could fire at the island army, but they still had a numerical advantage of nearly six to one.
As the world's first general-purpose machine gun, although the MG34 had shortcomings such as complex structure, high steel consumption, and extremely high cost compared to its successor, the MG42, and its theoretical firing rate of 800 rounds per minute was not as good as the latter's 1200-1500 rounds per minute, it was still an excellent machine gun.
As for the crooked guy…
Regardless of whether it was the Chinese army or the island army, the general evaluation was " unique, but not outstanding."
Not to mention that the theoretical firing rate was only 500 rounds per minute, the actual firing rate was about 120 rounds per minute. The most unbearable thing was its extremely poor reliability.
In Japan, the shortcomings of its poor reliability were not obvious, but in the northeast of China, there was a collective collapse of the bad guys.
As for Southeast Asia, the high temperature and humid environment made the soldiers of the island army want to smash their guns.
The Chinese army, which lacked guns and cannons, valued the bad guys very much. However, once they had the Russians, the Chinese army tended to send the bad guys to other grassroots units.
In addition, the MG34 could be supplied with 50 or 75 rounds of ammunition. It could be used by a single person when necessary.
The machine gun platoons of the 369th Regiment seemed to have been awakened in an instant. They responded enthusiastically to their Japanese counterparts with short shots.
"Puff!"
A machine gunner from Japan was taken care of by several machine gun platoons on the hillside. The bullets from all directions immediately penetrated his exposed body, and the residual kinetic energy of the bullets directly sent his body flying from behind cover.
Although the firing rate was slower than his successor, as long as the trigger of the MG34 was pulled, at least five to eight bullets would be fired from the muzzle.
They had never expected the counterattack of the Chinese army to be so fast and fierce. The island soldiers hiding behind the rocks and slopes were better off, but they were hit by the sand and stones from the machine gun bullets.
The island soldiers who chose trees as cover were instantly shot into a sieve.
The German 7.62mm bullets used in the MG34 were not necessarily compatible with the 7.62mm bullets of other armies due to length and other reasons, but the lethality was much stronger than the 6.5mm bullets used by the island army. It was no problem to penetrate the tree trunk.
"Bastard, bastard!"
The captain of the island army pulled out his pistol and hid behind a rock, cursing continuously.
At this point, how could he not understand that there was at least a brigade, or even a division, of Chinese soldiers lying in ambush on the mountain!
As for the firepower of this scale, the Chinese army had probably gathered at least a division's main equipment!
Of course, that was only for the normal Chinese army. In reality, the number of machine guns and grenade launchers used by the 369th Regiment was only about three-fifths of the total number of troops used.
