Chapter 328 Artillery (Today
The Weasel III destroyer, whether it is 3//M or 3/H, has no place in it.
Half-track armored vehicles have no place for him.
Tiger tanks, let alone him.
What did Frederick ask him to do? Let him deliver ammunition to the mortar team.
In Frederick's opinion, this was a safe operation without having to place a Japanese second lieutenant in front of him. After all, the mortar crew did not need to go to the front line, they could just hide in the rear and fire artillery. It was very safe.
"Second Lieutenant, I heard that your country's army likes to use a 50mm caliber grenade?" The leader of the first mortar team is a sergeant, and he takes three adults with him during the lunch break.
soldiers walked up to him.
Lin Yue was unhappy that he couldn't drive the Tiger tank. When he heard the sergeant's voice, he turned his head and glanced, then nodded slightly.
The sergeant stirred the compressed biscuits soaked in hot water in the lunch box with a spoon and took a mouthful: "I really want to get one and put it in the basement for collection, but unfortunately there is no way. I remember its name should be
Type 89 grenade, right?”
Lin Yue thought that the Japanese things had nothing to do with me, but on the surface he still had to keep his composure: "Yes, the Type 89 grenade can be carried by infantrymen, with a caliber of 50MM, a maximum range of 700 meters, and an effective range of 400 meters.
Basically every Imperial soldier will receive a month of grenade training before going into battle."
The sergeant said: "Actually, our army also has 50MM light mortars, but they have not been used on the front line for three or four years. I heard that the superiors are considering distributing them to militiamen who support Germany and the Führer to deal with local resistance groups."
Who says Europeans are straight-forward and don’t know how to be flexible? This guy in front of me is talking roundabout and hurtful without even using curse words.
What does it mean?
What this means is that the equipment of the Japanese army is on the same level as that of the German and puppet troops. You still use the outdated equipment of others as treasures, but you still use them with great enthusiasm even though they are a bunch of junk. It has not changed from North Asia to South Asia.
The soldier next to him, who used a steel helmet as a bench to cushion his buttocks, said: "If it were our Iron Lions who wanted to occupy the whole of Asia, two months would be enough. Maybe we could stop and have sex with those yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese women."
Let’s talk.”
He used the word "in-depth communication" very seriously, and everyone knew what it meant.
The other three soldiers laughed loudly.
Yes, the weapons invested in the European battlefield are very advanced. The artillery battalion of the division-level unit of the Chinese army has more than a dozen 75MM field guns, which is elite. It is like a stepmother regiment like a cannon fodder regiment. Chulong Wenwen got one.
Krupp was so happy that he couldn't sleep with the 37mm anti-tank gun, but on the German side, 8
The 8MM gun is just standard equipment. There are so many types of assault guns, destroyers, destroyers, Panzer III tanks, Panzer IV tanks, and Panther Tigers that it is dizzying to see. Even an infantry company with the worst equipment can produce them.
A few half-track motorcycles and half-track armored vehicles, the military level of the two is not one or two generations behind.
But when talking about Japanese, just talk about Japanese. Can you not make fun of Chinese women? Even if you are just a group of brain-dead young people who have been dumbfounded by ultra-nationalism.
"The 50MM light mortar is indeed less powerful, but in many cases, powerful weapons do not mean high practicality. Take your most proud Tiger tank as an example. Its armor is very thick and its artillery is amazingly powerful, but in terms of speed,
Not satisfactory, and I heard that the Soviet tanks were out of gas
Just pour the vodka and run, can a Tiger tank do that?" Lin Yue ignored those mentally retarded young men, because he had already declared death for these people, and would send them back to the West as soon as the battle to defend the bridge started. This sentence
The words were actually meant for the commander of the Tiger tank, who happened to pass in front of him.
"If you dare to compete, I will use your 50MM mortar and you use the 80MM mortar to see who can shoot more accurately... I think since you mentioned the 50MM mortar, the platoon should
Keep some spares."
The sergeant was stunned for a moment.
The platoon does have two 50MM mortars, mainly because they are light and durable, and two soldiers can carry them across mountains and rivers. But when it comes to shooting accuracy... they are even inferior to the 80MM mortars.
One chip.
Does this guy know what he's talking about?
A second lieutenant officer who had just graduated from the military academy actually had to compete with a professional gunner like him to see who could shoot accurately. He still used an outdated thing like the Type 36 50MM mortar. Some frontline soldiers would rather use Soviet and French guns.
The army's 50MM mortar is unwilling to use its own, which shows how difficult it is to use.
"How is it?" Lin Yue saw the Tiger tank commander approaching and deliberately raised his voice: "As an excellent German, don't you even have such courage?"
"Okay, I accept your challenge, second lieutenant from the East." The sergeant stood up, glanced at the lieutenant standing in front of him, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he sent someone to carry the 50MM mortar and the 80MM mortar.
gun.
After a while, the soldiers came over with two mortars, found a flat place to set them up, and placed an empty wine bottle about 300 meters away to see who could blow it over accurately.
Using mortars to blow up wine bottles does not mean shooting them with bullets. You must know that they are much smaller than the human body, so you can imagine how difficult it is to blow them over.
Even the lieutenant whom Frederick admired most came over, wanting to witness the outcome of the game, or to see Lin Yue make a fool of himself.
This was not just his idea, but also the idea of all SS soldiers.
It can be said that it is human nature to use the poorness of allies to highlight one's own excellence, just like the performance of the Italian army in North Africa.
"Wait a minute." The sergeant was about to adjust the angle of the mortar when Lin Yue stopped him.
"What? Do you want to regret it?"
"I think we should add a little bit of luck to make it exciting." Lin Yue took out 30 marks from his pocket: "If I lose, the money will be yours."
30 marks, equivalent to one month's military pay for him, the sergeant's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll make a bet with you."
There was no reason not to do something like this, which was free money but also brought glory to the country. He was about to dig into his pockets when Lin Yue stopped him.
"I don't want money. I just want to explain the structure of the Tiger tank to me. It's best if I can drive it for a while. How about it? As you know, my identity is a training officer."
"This..." The sergeant was a little embarrassed and looked at the commander of the Tiger tank.
Others looked at him expectantly.
The commander of the Tiger tank glanced at Frederick, who was taking a nap in the tent, and nodded slightly.
Anyway, just to show him around the tank cockpit and drive forward a few dozen meters at most, he still has this power.
"Then let's get started."
Lin Yue made a "you come first" gesture.
The sergeant thought he was the one taking advantage, so he didn't say anything. He walked over to fine-tune the muzzle and elevation, took the mortar shell handed over by his follower, put it inside, and tilted his head to the side.
Bang!
There was a low explosion from the muzzle, and the mortar shell flew out with a whoosh, drawing a round parabola in the sky. It landed 300 meters away and exploded. Fragments and soil flew up and fell, and there was an extra one in front of the wine bottle.
Smoking bomb crater.
"Hit, hit." A soldier ran over, picked up the wine bottle that was shattered by the explosion, shook it, and stretched out five fingers, which meant that the bottle was placed only 5 meters away from the impact point of the mortar shell.
meters distance.
If this person were standing there alone, he would definitely be dead by now.
Using a mortar to blow up a wine bottle from 300 meters away is enough to illustrate the sergeant's artillery skills.
"Second Lieutenant, it's your turn." It could be seen that the sergeant was very satisfied with his results.
Lin Yue glanced at the people around him, put on the "windproof goggles" hanging around his neck, stretched out his thumb to compare the replaced empty wine bottles, walked to the 50MM mortar to fine-tune the angle and elevation, and took the hand from the soldier.
The incoming mortar shells were fired into it.
The mortar shell quickly slid down, the primer was activated by the firing pin, the muzzle flashed, and with a bang, the mortar shell flew towards the area where the wine bottle was.
boom!
The flame explosion is much smaller than that of an 80MM mortar shell.
When the smoke drifted away and the dust cleared, the soldiers who were hiding far away ran over to check the condition of the wine bottles.
He stood in front of the crater for a long time, so long that the people waiting for the results began to curse.
The soldier finally came to his senses and turned to look at Lin Yue with a ghostly expression on his face.
The sergeant's heart skipped a beat, and an unpleasant feeling filled his heart. He trotted to the crater made by the mortar shells, and found that the wine bottle had been shattered into pieces, and the glass reflected the sunlight, almost blinding him.
50MM mortar, target 300 meters away, the distance from the center of the crater to the place where the bottle is placed is at most 2 meters.
How accurate is it?
Less than 100/1.
It is basically impossible to win a game like this by luck. The opponent uses a German-made 50MM mortar, which is recognized as junk in the army.
The second lieutenant from the East defeated him with his strength!
The sergeant's face looked ugly, and the pride in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
The people around who were ready to watch the fun were also embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Lieutenant, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Lin Yue ignored those people and looked at the commander of the No. 2 Tiger tank and said.
"Follow me." The commander of the No. 2 Tiger tank led Lin Yue to the car.
Last time he visited the No. 4 tank in Newey Town. This time it was replaced by a Tiger tank. Although one was a medium tank and the other was a heavy tank with different vehicle configurations, as armed vehicles produced by the same country, after understanding
It is not difficult to learn the control techniques of the latter based on the former, not to mention there is an instruction manual in the car that records the driving methods.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Frederick asked the personnel to assemble. He received a new attack order---to seize a bridge connecting the two banks of the Medrit River from the Allied forces.
Lin Yue had to give up the idea of continuing to practice with the No. 2 Tiger tank and return to the artillery sequence.
He thought that the people in the mortar team would respect him after he showed his talents, but he didn't expect that the young man who had made rude remarks earlier would treat him even worse.
Thinking about it, I humiliated their sergeant in front of so many people, and the weapons and equipment they were proud of, well... and the pride of being a descendant of Germanic people.
In fact, that's fine. At least they won't be merciless when they kill these idiots later.
The Battle of Defending the Bridge is about to begin. It is not difficult for him to kill ordinary infantry, but how to deal with the Tiger tanks? You must know that in the movie, the US military plane arrived late, even if Luofeluo did not hit the rice with one shot
Captain Le, he might also die under the fire of the front-mounted machine gun.
Kill Frederick immediately? Forcibly interrupt the mission? This is basically impossible, because the lieutenant will take over Frederick's command of the battle. Even if the lieutenant is killed together, there will be another lieutenant to take over.
This is not the Marin Village in "Wushuang". The German army has tanks, armored vehicles and well-trained soldiers. It is absolutely impossible for him to take down the entire armored force by himself.
And the mission requirement is to protect Miller and Ryan during the Battle of the Bridge.
What should we do?
Chapter completed!
