Mud Mountain.
Through the field of view of the telescope, Xu Rui and Lao Laobing could clearly see every move of the Japanese.
Because the river had receded and the dock facilities were severely damaged, the little Japanese's transport ship ran aground when it was still a thousand meters away from the river bank. This forced the Japanese on board to wade into the water to grab the beach.
However, this is not a beach, but an inner river beach where silt accumulates.
Especially the river beach with a width of more than a thousand meters, which is exposed on the waterline, is destined to become the grave of the Chongteng detachment!
"Old Xu, the Japs are seizing the beach!" The veteran put down his binoculars and looked at Xu Rui with undisguised excitement in his eyes. Yes, at this moment, the veteran could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, even if there were piles of people on the dock just now A mountain of technical equipment fell into his hands, and the veterans were not as excited as they were now.
Because only veterans know what will happen next!
Even the more than forty machine gunners and ammunition handlers hiding in the heavy machine gun position not far behind them have not yet realized that history will be made in their hands!
The veteran said eagerly: "Old Xu, do it!"
"No rush, just wait." Xu Rui lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said calmly, "Wait."
The veteran suppressed his heart that was about to burst out of his chest, turned his head again, raised his binoculars, and monitored the Japanese's movements.
The muddy river beach greatly restricted the movement of the Japs. The distance was less than a thousand meters, but it took the Japs a full ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the first batch of Japs finally approached less than a hundred meters from the river bank. As the riverbed gradually hardened, the pace of the Japs gradually accelerated, and about a small group of Japs at the front had already begun to charge.
At this time, Xu Rui finally threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stamped it out.
Then, Xu Ran turned around and said to He Shuya behind him: "Nerd, signal!"
He Shuya immediately ran to the mountain ridge and signaled at the heavy machine gun position on the platform behind the mountain.
I saw the semaphore displayed by He Shuya. The twenty heavy machine gunners who had been waiting impatiently immediately pressed the button of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. In the next moment, twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns roared "puff, puff, puff, puff" at the same time. , the muzzle of the gun pointed at an angle of 30 degrees to the sky immediately spurted out balls of dazzling muzzle flames.
Because it's daytime. You can barely see the trajectory of the bullet as it flies through the air.
However, Xu Rui, Lao Lao, and Jiang Nan, Cui Jiu, and others who were standing on the cliff watching the battle could still clearly hear the screams of bullets flying over their heads. In an instant, almost everyone's heart changed. All raised to the throat. Is it really possible to use the barrage of heavy machine guns to block fire

Li Bian was more unlucky. He stepped into a mud pit when he was less than 500 meters away from the shore. The dirty and smelly mud directly covered his waist. If it weren't for the reaction of his two fellow villagers, Quickly, rush up and grab him. Li Bian might have been swallowed by the mud at this moment.
But even so, the two fellow villagers finally managed to pull Li Bian up with great effort.
When Li Bian was pulled up from the mud pit by two of his fellow villagers. But they found that they had fallen behind. The infantry team they were in was less than fifty meters away from the shore. Seeing that they were about to go ashore, Li Bian couldn't help but curse, because the first batch of soldiers to go ashore were... It is customary to get a military exploit.
Military merit means rewards, and it also means promotion of military rank and status.
However, now, it seems that such a good thing has no chance for him, Li Bian.
However, the next moment, an overwhelming scream came from the river beach ahead.
Hear this scream. The hairs all over Li Bian's body stood up. He had already participated in the Battle of Songhu and was considered a veteran with combat experience, so he was no stranger to such voices. This is the sound made by the friction between the bullet and the air when it is flying high in the air. These are all life-threatening notes!
"ah!"
"Well… "
"don't want… "
"Help… "
"Grandma..."
"help me… "
"Mother Mazu, save me..."
The next moment, screams and wails erupted from the river beach one after another. Along with the incessant screams and wails, the Taiwanese soldiers who had just been struggling in the mud on the river beach fell one by one. down. Especially the teams in front suffered heavy casualties.
Li Bian was stunned for a moment. What was going on
There are no Nationalist troops on the shore? At least there was no Nationalist Army within sight, so where did these bullets fly from? Could it be that Empress Mazu really appeared and rained bullets from the sky? But why does Mazu help these damn Chinese? Why doesn’t she help the Taiwanese
"Pfft..." Li Bian suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound in his ears.
Looking back quickly, Li Bian was horrified to see that one of the two fellow villagers who had just pulled him out of the mud pit had fallen into a pool of blood. He had been shot in the head because he was not wearing a helmet. Almost half of his Tianling Cap was cut off, and red blood flowed all over the floor along with the white brain tissue.
In just a moment, this fellow countryman's face turned pale, that kind of deathly white!
When another fellow villager saw this extremely bloody scene, he immediately fell down on the river beach and retched.
However, the fellow countryman had just retched twice, and then he made two more popping sounds. Then he fell down on the ground, and his limbs began to twitch violently. When Li Bian took a closer look, he discovered that this fellow countryman's back was actually He had been shot several times, and within a moment, dark red blood stains oozed from his body.
"咻咻咻..." The ear-piercing scream was still ringing.
Li Bian raised his head in confusion and turned his gaze to the hill about two kilometers away on the right.
Because he was looking up, and with the dark clouds in the sky as the background, Li Bian finally saw clearly. He saw clear ballistic trajectories roaring down from the sky in front of him on the right. This guy was just like dense raindrops. It was so dense. Li Bian had never seen such a dense barrage!
In just this moment, he didn't even know how many stray bullets hit his ears!
Fortunately, none of the stray bullets hit her, and Mazu finally showed up.
Then Li Bian finally came to his senses, shouted, turned around and prepared to run in the direction he came from.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat..." However, before Li Bian could take a step forward, a Japanese officer had already raised the saber in his hand, pointed the sharp tip at Li Bian, and said solemnly, "If you dare to retreat, you will die." …”
However, before he finished speaking, there was only a pop sound, and the head of the Japanese officer suddenly exploded.
Li Bian no longer cared about so much and ran away. However, the knee-deep mud seriously hindered his movement. Before he could run a few steps, Li Bian fell down on the river beach. He was so anxious that he fell down on the river beach. Li Bian didn't even bother to get up, and immediately started crawling on his hands and feet like a four-legged snake.
Not to mention, it climbed really fast.

The sudden barrage coverage immediately stunned the Taiwanese soldiers who were rushing to board the beach, and also stunned Shigeto Chiaki who was standing on the hill on the south bank to watch the battle.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Shigeto Chiaki held up the telescope, but his hands couldn't help but began to tremble slightly. Through the field of view of the telescope, he could clearly see the Taiwanese soldiers who had rushed to the river beach falling one by one. The tragic situation under them, as well as the blood stains oozing from their bodies, were also so dazzling.
"Impossible, impossible, this is impossible!" Oda Nobuyoshi, who was standing next to Shigeto Chiaki, was also dumbfounded.
There was no machine gun position of the Chinese army, and there was no Chinese army on the riverside at all. Where did this dense barrage come from? what on earth is it? Oda Nobuyoshi wished he could spread his wings and fly to the north shore to see what was going on up close. This is completely beyond his cognitive scope!
"This is impossible, damn the Chinese people, are they still capable of sorcery?"
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Where did the Chinese get so many machine guns?"
"This is impossible, this is completely impossible, this is not logical at all!"
Amidst Oda Nobuyoshi's roars one after another, Shigeto Chiaki seemed to understand.
After all, Oda Nobuyoshi still had little knowledge, but Shigeto Chiaki suddenly remembered the battle known as the meat grinder during World War I - the Battle of the Somme!
In an instant, Shigeto Chiaki understood everything!
"Hagagaru!" Shigeto Chiaki said through gritted teeth, "Barrage coverage, this is barrage coverage!"
"Barrage coverage?" Oda Nobuyoshi said blankly, "Your Majesty Commander, what is barrage coverage? What are you talking about?"
Shigeto Chiaki's facial muscles twitched violently twice, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm talking about the China Army. Their heavy machine gun position is located on the mud hill opposite, and they are barraging our troops crossing the river to seize the beach! Heavy machine guns are not only lethal through direct fire, they also have terrifying lethality by using curved trajectories to cover the barrage!"
"Current trajectory?" Oda Nobuyoshi's eyes suddenly turned to the mud mountains on the north shore, "Barrage coverage?"
"Navy!" Oda Nobuyoshi finally reacted after being stunned for a while and shouted, "Your Excellency, Commander, please quickly request the Navy's tactical guidance and request the Navy's gun group to cover the mud mountains with artillery fire to destroy the heavy machine gun positions of the China Army. Otherwise, our troops who are rushing to land on the beach will suffer heavy casualties... "
This damn river beach, this damn mud, will kill the entire Second Taiwan Infantry Regiment!
"It's useless, it's useless!" Shigeto Chiaki shook his head and said miserably, "The China Army very cunningly built the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope of the mud mountain. The navy's naval guns cannot hit the reverse slope at all, unless Called aviation for support, but unfortunately, due to bad weather, the aviation was unable to take off." (To be continued.)
