Chapter 262: The End of the 4th Brigade (3)

(There is something I have to say here first, according to the reaction of book friends, I hope to replace the ruler with rice, so as not to feel troubled by substitution.) In fact, one meter is one meter, which is the most commonly used unit of measurement in this time period, and the unit of measurement of the meter only appeared later, but in order to make readers more intuitive, Fengyue has measured the distance in meters since the beginning of this chapter, and I would like to thank the book friends for their support to Fengyue. )

********************************************************

It has to be said that the psychological quality of the Japanese army is very strong, and all the heavy fire points on their own side have been destroyed, the light machine guns have also been completely muted, and from time to time there are mortar shells on their heads that cannot be avoided.

They did not collapse, not to mention, but were still firing at the officers and soldiers of the first company.

However, one was firing from the top and the other was from the bottom, and the officers and men of the company had a natural advantage, plus there were various machine guns to help, so the Japanese naturally suffered heavy casualties.

However, the company was not without damage, and the Japanese army's old and accurate archery skills also killed and injured many recruits who raised their bodies too high because of excitement.

At least ten recruits were killed and wounded in this completely dominant firefight, and the wounded and killed recruits were quickly carried to the tunnel behind the mountain, where there was a temporary ambulance station of the regimental field hospital, and Liu Lang even asked to dig a very wide place as a place to store the soldiers' bodies.

Liu Lang didn't want the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle to be ravaged by enemy shells, and although it was laborious to dig such a large space, none of the soldiers complained.

The first company has pressed nearly 400 devils at the front of the position and cannot move, and if there is enough time, these 400 devils are definitely in a catastrophe.

Of course, Yanagawa Kazuo will not sit still, the four infantry guns of the artillery squadron have been transferred to the front of the position by him, and the distance of only 800 meters is enough to overturn the bunkers where the terrible machine guns are hidden in one shot.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Liu Lang's mouth, who watched the Japanese artillery quietly moving from the binoculars, there are steel plates and logs laid on the top of the dark fort, which are enough to resist the bombardment of howitzers, but the shortcoming is that he is afraid that this kind of infantry artillery that can be used as a direct-aim gun, if it is hit at the front line, of course, it will be destroyed.

But will the artillery of the Separate Regiment allow the opponent to open fire so unscrupulously?

Apparently not.

Seeing that the infantry artillery in the distance had fallen and could be shelled at any time, Liu Lang nodded and said to Qianqian: "Tell Zhao Ergou that his business is coming, by the way, and tell him that if he lets the little devil smash a dark fort for me, his military rank will be demoted to Lao Tzu." ”

Showing his white teeth forward, he immediately called the artillery company directly under him, naturally, he was not as aggressive as the regimental commander, and he couldn't defend this position without the support of Zhao Ergou's artillery company.

Several mortar platoons were scattered by Zhao Ergou to support the other two positions, and he himself stood in front of two Bofors mountain guns hidden in the mountains and forests 100 meters away from the main position. For this reason, the communications platoon also brought him a telephone line to facilitate his receipt of reports on the enemy's position from the forward artillery observation points.

"Brothers, the construction has started, the No. 182 area has been approved by Lao Tzu, and the regimental seat said, if the little devil's cannon hurts the brothers of the infantry company, our artillery company will have no food tonight." Zhao Ergou, who received the call, opened his mouth with laughter and shouted loudly.

"Haha, company commander, just watch it! The infantry brothers have been cool for a long time, and then let's watch the performance of our artillery company. An artillery veteran laughed and held a shell into the chamber.

It was actually still very cold in the north at the beginning of March, but this veteran was only dressed in single clothes, not because he was not afraid of the cold, but because he was afraid that the heavy cotton clothes would hinder his flexibility. Of course, the job of holding the cannonball is not easy, as long as the cannon is fired, it will be steaming after a while.

JUST BY LOOKING AT THE WEIGHT OF THE SHELLS, A 6.5 KG SHELL IS NOT MUCH SMALLER THAN AN ORDINARY 100MM HOWITZER. In fact, the mountain gun itself is a howitzer with a slightly shorter barrel and greater mobility.

At this time, the artilleryman, who calibrates the firing range and firing range according to the distance to the target, also adjusts the muzzle into place.

"Put" With Zhao Ergou's round eyes, he roared angrily.

The two Bofors mountain cannons roared violently almost simultaneously, and the ground trembled.

The howitzer shells loaded with No. 1 charge are mainly used to expand the bombing area and kill the enemy with shock waves, and the muzzle velocity of the shells is not large, which is only 230 meters per second.

It doesn't look fast, but Zhao Ergou's firing location is only 2,200 meters away from the four infantry guns that are aiming and loading shells, and it will only take less than ten seconds to fly over at this speed.

As the saying goes, veterans are afraid of guns and newcomers are afraid of cannons, that's because recruits are at a loss when they hear the sound of cannonballs flying, but veterans have experienced a lot and can judge whether shells will fall near them based on the screaming of shells flying in the air.

For example, if you listen to the sharp and loud sound of the cannonballs, then you can do what you should do, and the explosion point is far away from you! But if you hear a "puff puff" sound, don't say anything and find a shell crater to jump into, even if there is a dung pit in front of you, you have to jump into it immediately.

Because, that would mean that the shells are about to fall around you.

Obviously, the devil artillerymen are all veterans and very experienced, and they are busy and they lie down for the first time, because they heard this terrible sound.

"Chinese, there are howitzers 。。。。。" This was the last thought that came to the mind of the commander of the artillery squadron, Captain Koji Nakano.

Then, with his men and four infantry guns no more than fifteen meters apart, he became a testimony to the power of the Bofors mountain cannon.

In order to quickly solve the crisis of the infantry brothers, Yanagawa Kazuo's artillery squadron also made a mistake similar to that of their commander.

Each cannon is too close to each other.

You must know that in field warfare, even if the space is limited, the distance between each gun must be 40 meters, and the range of the shock wave of a howitzer can be as high as tens of meters, plus the killing of shrapnel, a howitzer bombards down, and almost no one can survive within a radius of 30 meters.

As for the scenes where the cannonballs in some dramas keep exploding, but the heroic soldiers of our army are still charging in the smoke of gunpowder, they can only be described as "hehe", and it is estimated that the director will not be finished in the end.

Only listen to the "boom" with two loud noises almost at intervals.

In the pupils of Kazuo Yanagawa who was only 200 meters away from them, two purple-red fireballs occupied almost all of his focal length, and then two white mushroom-shaped clouds of smoke rose, and then two huge explosions filled the eardrums of all Japanese soldiers.

The two Bofors mountain guns did not test the guns, but they were hit in one shot.

Of course, this is not some shit luck. Instead, as early as a few days ago, the officers and men of the artillery company marked the area in front of each position, such as the 182 mentioned just now, which means that the target is in the No. 2 area 800 meters in front of the company's position.

It took several days to adjust the fixed firing distance and angle according to each mark, and if Zhao Ergou couldn't hit accurately, their artillery company really didn't have to eat.

Success is always reserved for those who are prepared, and this sentence is not wrong at all.

"Hit the son of a bitch." The observers, who were hiding in the trenches and were tasked with observing the effects of the shelling, cheered loudly.

"Company commander, if you don't, let's do another shot, if you miss one or two, you won't have anything to eat at night." The veteran, who had not yet cooled up, held a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel again, and suggested to Zhao Ergou.

"Dog's day, you're supposed to set off a cannon? Another round of special motherhood, do you know that this cannonball will cost 100 oceans to go out? Wait, listen to the previous report. Zhao Ergou glared and kicked the smiling veteran's buttocks.

Obviously, Zhao Ergou has also changed from a veteran soldier to a real artillery company commander, and he knows how to take the overall situation into account and never waste food.

However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and soon, after hearing the news of all the hits from the observer in front, this thing reverted to his old ways, touched his chin, and said to himself: "I heard that the little devil still has a reserve left, it seems to be in the 186 area, otherwise, Lao Li, you each have two shots, Lao Tzu's head is a little dizzy from the artillery at this time, and it should be understandable to give a confused order." Remember! When Tuanzao is looking for trouble with Lao Tzu, you all have to testify to Lao Tzu. ”
