Chapter 257 Promotion!
Wei Mingyang looked at the seven or eight Japanese rushing over, and heard Xiao Lei's anxious shouts with trembling voices.
Knowing that the fear in the female reporter's heart had reached the critical point, although she could not look back, she also whispered: "I'm here! I'm fighting!
If you are afraid, close your eyes for a while! It will be fine if you try dozens of times."
Xiao Lei was really scared, so she closed her eyes obediently and counted: "One, two, three..."
I heard the sound of gunfire "Bang! Bang!" beside me.
Wei Mingyang ordered: "Lu Fei! Yang Dazhu! Fight the Japanese!"
This time he had to use the weapons he brought with him.
"Bang! Bang!" The shooting speed of the automatic rifle is of course much faster than that of the official, and the third eighth level is much faster.
Smith used a Thompson submachine gun, and he brought four magazines, plus the magazine on the gun, which contained a total of 150 bullets.
When Thompson's submachine gun is fired continuously, it can reach a speed of 720 shots per minute, which is very exciting to fight.
But now there is no supply around him, and Company Commander Smith can only honestly shoot with single shots.
The effective range of this gun is 200 meters. Smith only fires after the Japanese cavalry enters the range.
Originally, he was able to achieve perfect shots with such a big target as a Japanese war horse within 100 meters.
But when he really faced the Japanese cavalry, Smith knew what the biggest danger of infantry facing cavalry was:
It is the aura of a cavalry. A soldier like him who has been training, the Japanese can still shoot calmly and fire when they are 100 meters away.
After the Japanese cavalry rushed within 100 meters, they watched the Japanese riding on the war horses stand tall, and the shadows of the ground war horses charging over like mountains.
He could no longer keep his calm and shoot, his heart was beating wildly and his hands were trembling.
Blood surged up, my eyes were blurred, and I couldn't see clearly the location of the Japanese in front.
The result is that the more anxious you are, the less accurate you are.
Only in my ears could I hear the sound of countless horse hooves knocking on the ground, and the sound of hooves was really like thunder!
Fortunately, Wei Mingyang shifted his target in time. Although the Japanese who rushed to the front had already boarded the bridge, they finally stopped on the bridge.
After the Japanese fell off their horses, the war horses still didn't realize it. They continued to rush over and ran along the river bank.
At this time, Xiao Lei was still counting with her eyes closed: "Seventeen, eighteen..."
Wei Mingyang smiled and said, "You can open your eyes! The Japanese in front are dead."
Xiao Lei opened her eyes and saw seven or eight war horses rushing across the stone bridge. She screamed in fear, "Ah!"
After screaming first, I realized that there were no Japanese riders on the war horses, and these were empty horses.
He then turned red and looked around with embarrassment.
No one pays attention!
This made me feel a little better.
The main direction of the Japanese attack in this round was the middle lane: the middle lane was still as stable as a rock, but there were forty or fifty Japanese cavalry from each side of the left and right.
Although their speed slowed down at this time, the Japanese chose to wade across the river and were five or six hundred meters away from Wei Mingyang and their defense line.
The Japanese cavalry obviously wanted to speed up the war horses through a distance after crossing the river.
The distance of five hundred meters suddenly made the soldiers in the guard platoon dumbfounded: Even if the machine gun was fired so far, it could only be hit by luck.
When Wei Mingyang saw that the Japanese crossing the river began to gather again, he immediately started to pick up the mortar. This time, Lu Fei was not asked to load the bullets.
He used his own cannon and the other hand.
After the first shell was shot out, a gust of fragrant wind came from beside him.
Xiao Lei held a shell in both hands: "I'll do it! I'll do it too!"
She had already observed it carefully and knew very well that Lu Fei's work did not have any technical content.
"Your feet are fine?"
"You can only do something when you fight, but you don't need to touch your feet." Xiao Lei replied domineeringly.
He threw the second shell into the barrel.
Wei Mingyang fired two cannons on the left and two cannons on the right.
Whenever you see three or four Japanese cavalry gathered together, you will immediately fire.
The Japanese crossed the river at 500 meters, and in Xiao Lei's opinion, it was not urgent.
After a few shots, Wei Mingyang suddenly said, "Stop for a while."
He had been paying attention to the situation on the entire battlefield and saw the Japanese cavalry in the middle coming up again.
He picked up the automatic rifle in his hand and fired at the Japanese who had already rushed to the stone bridge.
"Bang!Bang!Bang!" Three consecutive shots were shot, knocking down three fish that had escaped the net.
He opened fire at the Japanese who followed them.
With the training when I saw the Japanese charging in the first round just now, Smith, Stilwell, Delis and the others have obviously grown.
At this time, Smith no longer dared to continue shooting alone, and Thompson's submachine gun began to shoot continuously.
The bullet hit the Japanese war horses. The war horses struggled for a while and fell in front of the stone bridge.
Stilwell and Delis hedged closer to the Japanese, shooting more stably.
This is the difference between a veteran who has truly gone to the battlefield and a new recruit who has first gone to the battlefield.
As long as you get used to the momentum of the Japanese war horses charging forward, you will no longer be overwhelmed by their momentum, and the accuracy of shooting will suddenly increase.
Wei Mingyang shouted ok. These fallen war horses can also stop the Japanese war horses from charging later.
By this time Smith had already loaded the last magazine.
Since the Japanese started charging, in less than five minutes, more than half of the Takahashi Cavalry Regiment has suffered casualties.
Captain Saburo Shimatani, who is commanding the entire wing to attack, is hesitant: Should he retreat?
There are indeed less than twenty enemies in this corps, but the defense line established by these twenty people is like a wall of iron.
More than 300 cavalrymen could not rush over, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers had already fallen.
If you continue to fight like this, perhaps the entire cavalry regiment will not be able to complete the task even after it is finished.
Captain Kawasaki Sabuki's aviation at high altitude saw everything on the battlefield clearly.
It saw more than 300 cavalry rushing towards the defense line established by more than a dozen people on the other end of the stone bridge like a tide.
I also saw the mortar on the other end of the stone bridge that made it terrified again without disappointing performance.
The bombing caused the Japanese cavalry gang to overturn the horse, which was expected by Captain Kawasaki Taiichi.
It is no problem to blow up the cavalry wings that can blow up dozens of aircraft with mortars.
However, Captain Kawasaki Taiichi was still confident in the Cavalry Regiment: there were only a few dozen aircraft.
The cavalry corps had more than 300 Japanese soldiers, and they could kill three Americans from more than a dozen remaining soldiers of the national army.
The situation on the battlefield was the same as it expected: the cavalry corps quickly suffered more than half of their casualties, but the cavalry had successfully rushed to the front of the mortar less than two hundred meters away.
