Chapter 2114 Chapter 2076 Fierce Battle with Cavalry (I) Tiered Blockade
The sound of rifles "bang" and "bang" rang out, which was the volley gun that Chinese soldiers habitually fired.
At present, China's military industry is weak, and sometimes light machine guns are not enough, so they use volley guns.
Dozens or even hundreds of people fired a volley, and dozens or even hundreds of bullets flew out in an instant. Regardless of the future, at least in this first shot, the firepower under the conditions of rifles was maximized.
And in this volley gun, the formation of the Japanese cavalry who had originally reined in their horses and stood in place changed, or some cavalry fell off their horses or some horses were shot and neighed or fell or went crazy.
In fact, the Japanese cavalry underestimated the small Dongbei Army that shot at them.
Shang Zhenying is now basically using the captured Type 38 rifles, which have a long enough range and stable trajectory and strong penetration! Even many veterans have blunted the 6.5mm bullet head of the Type 38 rifle in order to maximize the killing effect.
The damage caused by pointed bullets and blunt bullets to the human body is similar to the damage caused by needles and small hammers. Although the former is sharp, the wound area is too small. Unless it hits the vital part, it will definitely not kill. Although the latter has insufficient penetration, as long as it enters the human body, it will be a hole!
This volley made the Japanese cavalry feel pain. The Japanese commander would not care about the footprints on the snow. He waved his command knife and shouted an order, so the Japanese cavalry that had gathered together and happened to be within the range of the Type 38 rifle dispersed and began to charge towards the high ground on this side.
"Don't use machine guns, aim and shoot with rifles!" Chu Tian shouted.
The Japanese cavalry was more than 400 meters away from them, but Chu Tian didn't allow machine guns, so he used rifles.
The veterans' shooting skills were very accurate. If I can't hit the cavalry on the horse, can I not hit the horse?
So the rifles from the high ground started to fire in a chaotic manner. Although the firepower was not strong, the shooting was very accurate. Therefore, in the "galloping horses", Japanese cavalrymen kept falling off their horses or the horses fell to the ground and threw the riders off.
None of Chu Tian and his men had calculated how long it would take for a warhorse to run 400 meters. Twenty or thirty seconds? It didn't matter. Even if one of the dozens of anti-Japanese veterans lined up in a row fired three shots, and two or even one of the three shots hit them, dozens of Japanese cavalrymen lost their combat effectiveness during the charge. The harder they charged, the harder they fell!
Then the already sparse Japanese cavalrymen had already rushed within a hundred meters.
"Machine gun grenade launcher! Don't let the devils go up the mountain! Let them rush over from both sides!" Chu Tian shouted again.
"Going up the mountain" was just Chu Tian's nickname for the high ground where they were. Fortunately, everyone understood it.
The Japanese cavalry, who had suffered heavy losses because of underestimating the enemy, saw the high ground in front of them. Just as they were about to rush up the high ground and chop with their swords, their iron cavalry "torrent" hit the hardest "boulder" again.
Five light machine guns fired short bursts of "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang", and the grenade launchers that had just been seized from the Japanese army were also put to use. The veterans mastered the lead time, and several grenades hit the horses with whistling sounds.
But this was a cavalry charge. Although some people fell off their horses, some cavalrymen had already started to ride their horses up the slope when they reached the bottom of the high ground.
"Box gun grenade!" Chu Tian gave the order for the fourth time.
The enemy was so close that it was too late to use rifles, so of course the box gun would be the fastest. It didn't matter if they killed the Japanese war horses, they just needed to injure them.
The machine gunner didn't have time to change the magazine and directly abandoned the gun and grabbed the box gun next to him and continued to shoot!
The Shang Zhenying's troops are all real double-gun generals. The fewer people they fight, the more weapons they seize. That is, the cooking team has box guns!
But the most efficient weapon in killing the enemy is not the box gun, but the grenade, which was previously seized from the Japanese army.
When cleaning the battlefield, Hu Zhuzi pulled back all the Japanese grenades. He had exactly ten grenades.
Before the Japanese cavalry launched the charge, he pulled out the pins of all the ten grenades.
Now that the Japanese army has started to charge the slope, he smashed the fuse of the grenade on the stone he prepared in advance and threw it down.
Don't worry if you throw it too close, anyway, the grenade is round and will roll down the hillside by itself.
Finally, seeing that there were still Japanese cavalrymen charging fearlessly, it would be too late if he didn't throw them. Hu Zhuzi grabbed a grenade in each hand, smashed the fuse at the same time, and threw the two grenades out at the same time in an extremely awkward posture.
It would be fine if he threw them before, but the biggest tragedy of the battle was that the enemy could fight with bayonets when they came up, but he didn't throw all the grenades. How could this work?
Compared with others, Hu Zhuzi was certainly not smart, but after years of fighting, he had developed combat instincts.
Although he threw them with both hands, he threw the two grenades into the gap between the Japanese war horses and exploded.
No matter how accurate the grenade was, it was only thrown under the belly of a horse. Even if it could blow up the horse badly, it would only blow up one horse.
But if it was thrown between two or even three horses, the fragments produced by the grenade explosion could injure three horses!
Hu Zhuzi threw the last two grenades at the perfect time. The two explosions actually hit five horses!
Two horses fell to the ground. Although the remaining three horses did not fall, they also went crazy and raised their tails to rush to the high ground.
A soldier was unable to dodge and was stepped on the shoulder by a horse, but at this time, the bullets from the box gun next to him also arrived.
All three bullets hit the horse's huge head, and the horse fell down and pressed on the soldier, and the Japanese soldier on the horse also fell down.
Another Japanese soldier on the horse saw that he had finally rushed to the Chinese army's position and instinctively raised his saber to chop, but the horse was injured and dizzy after all, and the man fell off the horse before the saber chopped.

Sometimes, human instincts cannot be controlled by combat habits. He finally let go, and the horse's shining saber drew an arc in the air and fell down, stabbing a Chinese soldier's left arm and fell down in a flash.
But the Chinese soldier was indifferent, and the box gun in his right hand shot at the Japanese soldier who had fallen down and didn't know what was going on.
"Fuck, you stabbed me with a knife when you fell down, but didn't you see who I was?" The Chinese soldier cursed with great contempt.
The horse that stabbed his left arm had already stabbed into the ground.
The reason was that his left arm was just an empty sleeve, because this Chinese soldier was the one-armed Ma Tianfang.
Three horses rushed up the high ground, and the third horse carried its owner, but the Japanese soldier didn't play any role because the horse kept kicking, and the Japanese soldier had to let go and throw the knife to hug the horse's neck in order to avoid being thrown off.
The two grenades thrown by Hu Zhuzi became the last "straw" that broke the camel's back for the Japanese cavalry's charge!
The Japanese cavalry behind could no longer charge, but it was the first time they encountered a Chinese army without Maxim heavy machine guns that beat them so badly!
The remaining Japanese cavalry finally split the horses and rushed over from both sides of the high ground.
This is cavalry, there is no advantage of a small boat to turn around, rushing too fast, and rushing past, they have to circle back.
"Hurry up and shoot!" Chu Tian shouted again.
There were people and horses falling on the hillside, they were just trying to stop the charge of the Japanese cavalry, but the Japanese who fell off their horses were trying to climb up. Although a small number of soldiers turned around and shot at the Japanese, more people were still shooting at the Japanese who fell off their horses on the hillside and below.
