The fourth set is ready to disassemble, and the strict formation awaits.
The van drove under Zhang Biao's guidance, patrolling the land that was once filled with beacons of war. The people on the car were still discussing the heavy machine gun dismantling vehicles back then.
Zhang Dongdong, through his brief contact with Secretary Jiao, deeply felt that this county party secretary was very capable and knowledgeable, with a broad range of knowledge, making him a great person to communicate with. He loudly mentioned to Secretary Jiao: "The heavy machine gun can be disassembled and reassembled on the car, which is indeed true, and there are many videos online about it. The US military often used this trick in Vietnam and Iraq. They operated the M134 six-barrel heavy machine gun manufactured by General Electric Company of the United States. The M134 six-barrel heavy machine gun has a caliber of 7.92mm, with a high firing rate of up to 6,000 rounds per minute, which is ten times that of an ordinary machine gun. The intense firepower and high speed of the Gatling six-barrel heavy machine gun earned it the reputation as the 'God of Fire' in the military circles of various countries!"
"The Gatling M134 machine gun has an extremely high rate of fire, but its performance is very reliable. It uses an external power source to drive the barrel rotation to complete the actions of feeding, firing and ejecting shells, so it is not affected by the firing performance of the bullets. A small number of duds have no effect on it, and it can shoot continuously without interruption. Its reliability is 2 million rounds, with a minimum lifespan of 15 million rounds. Old man Biao, you may not know that the most valuable thing about this Gatling is that it weighs only around 16 kilograms, much lighter than your Markov and Type 92 back then."
Secretary Jiao couldn't help but interrupt, reciting like a military textbook: "Based on the excellent performance, high reliability, strong firepower and precision of the M134 Gatling gun, as well as its ultra-lightweight features, the Gatling has become an essential defensive weapon for various combat aircraft. I heard that our country's armored troops are also equipped with six-barreled Gatling heavy machine guns now. Hey, this doesn't count as revealing military secrets, does it?"
Sakura was stunned by what she overheard: "You guys are all military fans, and you're all speaking in unison!" The group of people including Dongdong burst out laughing.
"Alright, kids! At that time, my brother Biao didn't have a six-barreled heavy machine gun, but we had six and eight heavy machine guns firing at the same time. The effect was no less than that of a Gatling gun or a Minigun."
Zhan Biao and Peng Xuefei designed a battle plan on their way back to Xiaoliang Mountain.
The lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there are not many famous mountains and rivers, but numerous valleys and tributaries. Having stayed at Xiaoliang Mountain for five days, it's time to move on. Before leaving, let's have another competition with Songshan here.
Zhan Biao had long observed the terrain, and after passing a stone bridge at the foot of Xiaoliang Mountain, he stopped the horse-drawn carriage team. Then he asked everyone to unload the stones from the car. Qiangzi, Dazhu, Erzhuzi led a group of new soldiers to set up a stone array on this side of the bridge, while Xiaofeng, Liuyang, and Zhengwen led another group of new soldiers to dig heavy machine gun emplacements by the river. The shovels they brought back were useful after all. San De and Cheng Yi followed Peng Pai's team with horse-drawn carriages to return to the mountain to mobilize troops and fetch weapons.
The stone bridge is 5 meters wide and 20 meters long, and the road winds along the river and around the mountain after crossing the bridge. Two tanks can pass side by side on the bridge. The small river under the bridge is called Xiaoliang River, and both banks are lined with reeds and silt, which should be impassable for tanks. More than 50 stone blocks and bars are scattered on this half of the bridge. On the mountain behind, there is a dense forest all the way to the top.
With a turn of the head, Peng Pai Chang led all the soldiers and ammunition back, unaware when Songshan would discover and chase after them. The tracks of more than a dozen horse-drawn carts were impossible to conceal and they didn't intend to conceal them either. Zhan Biao and Peng Pai Chang competed with each other in seconds to dig trenches and deploy troops for battle.
Anti-Japanese squad 18 people were responsible for the heavy machine gun position, specializing in attacking tanks. Zhang Zizhong did not set up a heavy machine gun on the bridge but instead arranged them in an eight-character shape with four on the left and four on the right. He led seven company commanders, each bringing one deputy shooter to operate 8 heavy machine guns. Da Yuan and Shuanzi were responsible for observing the impact point with binoculars and taking care of two flamethrowers.
The 24 people, including the new Fourth Army's 16 people and the guerrilla team's 8 people, were responsible for the light machine gun position to attack the following infantry and cavalry. Two people operated 12 light machine guns together. Their position was slightly higher than the heavy machine gun position, which was built on a hillside. The new Fourth Army had 12 people left, with 6 people responsible for 3 mortars, and 6 people led more than 100 new soldiers to hide on the upper hillside, distributing the original 35 rifles and the 10 Type 38 Arisaka rifles captured from the artillery tower construction site to the new soldiers. The new soldiers were tense and excited, taking turns learning to shoot in a hurry. Fortunately, many of the new soldiers had hunting experience, so they quickly grasped the rifle.
Qiangzi added two boxes of hand grenades to the stone array on the bridge. If the bean war chariot rushes over, it will shoot at the box of hand grenades and have a mine effect to blow up the tracks.
At this time, the sky was already bright, the light and heavy machine gun emplacements had been repaired, all the soldiers had just entered their respective positions, and the distant rumble of engines could be heard.
Songshan did not mobilize all his troops, and before setting out, he calmed down and left behind most of his special forces in Kao Shan town, a small team of Japanese soldiers and 6 tanks. A good commander must always keep some mobile forces in hand.
The team led by Songshan had two motorcycles scouting ahead, followed by 10 jeeps leading the way. He himself rode in a truck with his remaining 13 special troops. Behind them was a cavalry squad, and further behind were six trucks carrying two infantry squads.
Songshan is no longer underestimating the enemy, and has begun to take Guan Biao's anti-Japanese guerrilla squad seriously as an opponent. However, he remains confident and arrogant. He has tanks that are not afraid of infantry weapons, and has a record of defeating Guan Biao and capturing four heavy machine guns. Moreover, he thinks that Guan Biao is here to rescue over 100 laborers who were destroying the artillery tower, and even if they were prepared, it wouldn't be too thorough. If he knew that Guan Biao was here for the bean-shaped tank, he might adjust his battle plan.
The scout on the motorcycle first discovered the figure on the mountain and probed with a machine gun, and indeed there was a counterattack from the mountain. More than 40 Type 38 Arisaka rifles fired randomly, posing little threat to the Japanese army.
Songshan noticed that the stone bridge had to be crossed, and got two infantry squads off to follow the tank and clear a path over the bridge. The cavalry squad was not suitable for action in the mountains, and stayed behind with six trucks.
The tank approached the bridge, Zhang Biao waved to Peng Xuefei, who ordered: "Open fire!" 12 light machine guns fired at the infantry on the opposite bank about 150 meters away, and grenade launchers also launched grenades into the enemy crowd. The Japanese soldiers reacted quickly and began to counterattack, with no less firepower.
Zhang Biao's eight heavy machine guns fell silent, making Songshan uneasy in his heart, because he saw through binoculars that the number of people exposed with steel helmets was far from just operating more than a dozen light machine guns. He ordered the infantry to pay attention to hiding and defending against the sudden strike of heavy machine guns, while using grenade launchers to attack the scattered soldiers on the opposite bank and mountain, and then ordered the tanks to cross the bridge and charge.
Two tanks charged onto the stone bridge in a row, and another row followed. The tanks stopped suddenly when they reached the middle of the bridge, and the other half of the bridge was blocked by a large amount of stones on the ground. The tank had two taboos that were explored in actual combat: one was a large area of sandy land, and the other was a ground full of stones. They never expected to meet someone who understood here.
The tank now has only one option, which is to send the infantry behind it to move the obstacle, but can it face 12 machine guns? It should be said that there is another option, which is to retreat.
Zhan Biao wouldn't give the bean war cars any more hesitation, as soon as he saw the two bean war cars stopped in front of the stone array, he shouted to everyone: "Note that the first move is to strangle the neck!" Then, twisting his neck and shouting loudly: "Do it!" The heavy machine gun in his hand fired immediately.
