Chapter 3081 No Swords, only Shells
The smoke bomb Alsim threw was not to block the Japanese army's view.
If the Japanese army could communicate more with the German troops who had fought against the Leader Army and the Leader Division, the predecessor of the Leader Army.
Then you will definitely know how terrifying it is to encounter the leader's infantry on the battlefield and throw smoke bombs at your own feet.
The smoke indicator mine thrown by Alsim had an effect, and fire support led by the division commander Comrade Kulbalov responded immediately.
The three IS7s drove the heavy but fast-rotating turrets, quickly pointed the huge 130mm main gun at the target, and fired three 130mm full-caliber high-explosive grenades with less than 3 seconds of continuous fire.
"The Russians are about to charge! Prepare to attack, attack!"
On the other hand, at the same time, the Japanese army had some misunderstandings about the function of the smoke bomb under their feet.
The panicked Japanese army mistakenly believed that this was a precursor to the Russians' imminent infantry charge. They believed that the enemy was throwing smoke bombs to obscure their vision and block firepower to launch an attack.
Based on wrong judgment, the Japanese army eventually took wrong actions.
"Fix bayonets!!!"
A group of Japanese soldiers not only refused to retreat under the smoke shroud, but also took out their swords from their scabbards at the command of the leading captain, put their bayonets on the heads of their 38-type caps and 99-type rifles, and put on a desperate posture. They have to fight to the death with the Russian infantry who are about to rush into the smoke.
"Quick! Get into position and prepare for battle! Attack, attack!!!"
He called to more infantrymen behind him who came to support him and quickly entered the fighting position, fixed his bayonet and prepared to face the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
The busy Japanese captain was even a little happy, thinking that he had been looking forward to the opportunity of hand-to-hand combat, which the imperial warriors were best at. We must make these ignorant Russians bow down before the sharp blade of the imperial warriors.
As soon as the Russians rush over, the sharp blades of the Imperial Warriors will immediately burst out of the smoke, making these Russians splash with blood and know how powerful they are.
The final result was that the density of Japanese troops in the smoke-shrouded area increased instead of decreasing.
A large number of Japanese troops were ready for hand-to-hand combat with their rifles equipped with bayonets. In order to ensure that their combat effectiveness was not affected as much as possible, they even took out a gas mask from the canvas bag they carried and put it on their heads. Ready to start drying.
However, what broke through the smoke was not the huge amount of Russian infantry as expected, but Russian heavy artillery shells bigger than the head.
Boom——
Rumble——
Three rounds of 130mm high-explosive grenades hit the edge of the Japanese trenches almost at the same time and exploded. One of them even penetrated the edge of the trench soil directly, poured into the trench and detonated.
The huge explosion shock wave instantly blew away the command smoke that had just spread, and what could be seen was a large number of Japanese soldiers' broken limbs, broken arms, and pieces of flesh and blood, which were lifted into the air.
The IS7 main gun, which is equivalent to the bombardment power of a destroyer's naval gun, is absolutely powerful, far superior to the 122 Heirloom of the Red Army's heavy tank force.
When the trenches were destroyed and flesh and blood was stripped away, the Russian infantry failed to bow to the sharp blade. On the contrary, the large number of our own soldiers who were swarming and waiting for bayonets were conquered by the Russian heavy artillery.
The miscalculated Japanese army finally realized what was going on, but they couldn't wait for a chance to recover.
The heads of the surviving Japanese soldiers were still buzzing, and their bodies were as soft as a puddle of mud with bones removed. They could not even stand firm, so they had to hold on to the trench wall and rely on the rifles with bayonets in their hands. The crutches supported the body, and it was in such a bad situation that a more terrifying nightmare came.
Da da da da——
"Uhhhhh!!!"
The sound of continuous fire from Kalashnikov's power suddenly started, and the Japanese soldier who was hit by the 62 intermediate bullets with blood spurting out of his chest twitched and fell to the ground.
With his eyes wide open, he didn't even see who killed him until he died, but he saw the Japanese captain beside him who witnessed this scene immediately screamed in surprise.
"Russians, Russians are coming! Meet the enemy! Meet -"
Poof——
With his mouth half open and before he could even finish his words, Alsim sped up and jumped into the trench. With great forward inertia, he straightened up the bayonet of the AK gun and cut off the Japanese captain's neck with a single stroke. .
"Heh-gu-gu-he-gu-"
Plop——
Looking at the Japanese captain who was speechless and just kept "haha", he covered his neck and fell to the ground in pain. He would lose consciousness and die here in ten seconds at most.
Alsim, who was still bleeding from the tip of the knife, swung his backhand, held the AK upright again, raised his left hand and swung forward, leading the soldiers following him straight away.
"That's enough. No need for additional fire support. Our people have already rushed forward to avoid accidental damage from artillery fire."
"clear!"
"receive!"
Giving orders to the other two vehicles that were providing fire support at the same time, Kulbalov, who saw Alsim personally leading the team into the smoke, ordered to stop.
Instead, he turned his guns around, personally led the team, and re-engaged in the offensive operations on the frontal battlefield, continuing to pursue and annihilate the few remaining bunkers of the Japanese army with direct fire.
"Don't let those Russians come at you! Fire to stop them! Fire!"
The Japanese major who stood in front of him led another group of Japanese soldiers and refused to retreat. He waved his command knife desperately and asked the soldiers to fight to the end at the top of his lungs.
What surprised Alsim was that the firepower of this group of Japanese troops who suddenly came to support was obviously different from that of other Japanese troops.
The sound of the bolt-action rifles was greatly weakened, and was replaced by the sudden increase of dense automatic firepower.
The firing rate of this gun sounded quite good, and the sound of multiple guns firing at the same time was like the sound of a high-speed typewriter.
Compared with the firing rate of the German MG42, which was so fast that the specific gunshots could not be heard, there was obviously still a gap.
But compared with the sound of the Type 92 rifle and the Type 92 rifle that Alsim was already familiar with, this firing sound was obviously different, crisper, faster and more dense.
"Be careful! The enemy has a lot of automatic weapons, probably submachine guns, grenades ready! Machine gunners are ready to break through!"
The combat engineers themselves are heavy infantry units that rely on firepower. Alsim, who is very clear about the killing efficiency of automatic firepower, does not intend to rush hard.
Instead, he made full use of the advantage of combat engineers carrying all kinds of explosives, and showed more than a dozen grenades at the same time, and personally led the soldiers to throw them in the direction of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.
Boom boom boom boom --
A wave of grenades covered and then charged. The machine gunner who received Alsim's order was the first to flash out, holding the RPD light machine gun in his arms without shoulder aiming and firing directly from the waist, and rushed forward all the way.
The RPD, which has 100 rounds of bullets in a belt, has a continuous firepower. Facing the whistling bullets in the trenches and the barrage of bullets, the Japanese soldiers who dared not show their heads were directly suppressed.
Taking this opportunity to lead the team and follow closely, Alsim was not idle either.
The machine gunner charged in front to open the way, and Alsim followed with the remaining soldiers in the back, while constantly throwing various explosives to "human bomb", and this time it was not just grenades.
