Chapter 150: M1897 Mountain Crossing Cannon
The Japanese artillery position was about one thousand meters away from the 772nd Regiment's position, which had exceeded the effective range of ordinary rifles. In addition, the Japanese artillery also had bunkers, and the shooting of ordinary guns had lost its meaning, so the 772nd Regiment did not shoot the Japanese artillery.
Wang Yu and others were behind the 772nd Regiment's position, and the straight-line distance from the Japanese artillery position exceeded 1,200 meters.
It is really difficult to hit the Japanese artillery at this distance!
However, Wang Yu's sniper level has reached Level 2 and has also won the title of "Hundred Steps to Pass Yang", and is considered a sharpshooter in the Eighth Route Army.
Even so, it has always been a great challenge for him to get the official sniper at this distance.
But he had no choice. He wanted to buy some time for Wang Chengzhu and not let the Japanese's Type 92 infantry cannon attack the mountain-crossing cannons of the 772nd Regiment again.
Wang Yu believed that with Wang Chengzhu's strength, as long as he could touch the mountain cannon, the Japanese artillery cannons would be nothing more than a pile of scrap iron cannon fodder!
Bang!
Wang Yu pulled the trigger, the flames at the muzzle were swept away, and a bullet burst out!
At the same time, there was also a gunshot on one side of him.
Wang Yu turned his head and saw Wang Xikui lying on the cover like him, holding a Type 79 sniper rifle in his hand.
As if he noticed someone was watching, Wang Xikui turned his head and showed his white teeth at Wang Yu, and his smiling face was still not so pale.
I think the wound was bandaged and it was not that serious.
Wang Yu also smiled and gave Wang Xikui a thumbs up because after he fired, the two Japanese artillery soldiers fell down one after another.
He hit one, and Wang Xikui also hit one.
However, due to the rifle, he hit the Japanese on the shoulder, and the Type 79 sniper rifle that Wang Xikui was holding had an advantage over him, and he exploded the Japanese on the head with one shot!
"Who is shooting!"
At the same time, a Xiazi Cheng who was observing the artillery position put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head and saw that the guns in Wang Yu and Wang Xikui were still smoking and showing a smug smile.
The blind man Cheng immediately became popular. Before he issued the order to open fire, he fired the guns randomly. It was really undisciplined and unorganized. Especially when he saw the people brought by Li Yunlong, he was even more angry.
After glanced at the frowning brigade commander, Cheng Xiaozi immediately scolded:
"Who asked you to fire the gun? Is there any organizational discipline in your eyes?"
As he said that, he walked towards Wang Yu and Wang Xikui, preparing to scold him, making Li Yunlong look embarrassed and look ugly in front of the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, raised a corner of his mouth, blocked Cheng Wei Zi, and then pushed Cheng Wei Zi, saying slowly:
"Blind Cheng, take time to find a barefoot doctor to take a look at your big eyes. You are so fucking blind!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong was about to stand up for the two of them, Cheng Xiaozi snorted coldly.
"Hmph, Li Yunlong, I think it's you who is blind. It's obviously your man who fired the gun, but he still wants to deny it?"
Li Yunlong grinned when he heard this, and said, "They were naturally fired these two shots!"
The expression on Cheng Xiazi's face was stagnant, and it was a little unclear for a while.
Li Yunlong smiled even more and said, "If you say that these two shots were shot by yours, I would still disagree!"
"Look, one thousand two hundred meters, kill two Japanese devils with two shots, damn, you are still screaming!"
Upon hearing this, Blind Cheng quickly turned around and raised his telescope to look at the Japanese artillery position.
One of the main gunners of the Japanese was lying down on the ground and there was no movement. The other main gunners of the Japanese was staggering, one of the arms drooping weakly, and the shoulders were scarlet!
"this……"
The blind man Cheng couldn't believe his eyes. If he hit a Japanese man, it might be a fool, but now two people shot two Japanese man two times, which is enough to say everything.
"Hehe, blind man Cheng, you can't be so blind next time, otherwise our old Li will be unhappy!"
Li Yunlong pinched the teeth and patted Cheng Xiaozi on the shoulder with his intention.
At this time, Wang Chengzhu also arrived at the artillery position of the 772nd Regiment and used his strong body to knock off the main gunner.
"Damn, who are you? You dare to touch my cannon!"
The main gunner of the 772nd Regiment was dissatisfied with Wang Chengzhu and cursed, and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the people around him.
"It seems that it was sent by the leader!"
Hearing this, the main gunner did not continue to stop him, but looked at Wang Chengzhu tightly, fearing that the latter would ruin his treasure.
Wang Chengzhu aimed at the Japanese artillery position with his fingers, constantly adjusting the angle of the mountain cannon.
The 75mm mountain cannon created by this method can have a range of 8,500 meters. However, it is indeed quite difficult to strike targets of about 1,000 meters and bend down.
But as a level 3 heavy artillery, this difficulty is really insignificant for him.
After a while, Wang Chengzhu adjusted his angle and shouted to the main gunner behind him:
"Cast!"
Upon hearing this, the main gunner took a shell from his side and said to Wang Chengzhu: "Comrade, this one is the only one left. You have to aim..."
"What are you talking about? Bring it to you!"
Wang Chengzhu snatched the shell from the main gunner's arms, opened the bolt, and stuffed it into the bore.
This kind of artillery firing is completely manual and is even simpler than the current rifle.
The principle of the rifle is to pull the bolt to withdraw the shell while pulling the bolt, the base of the firing pin will be hooked by the snail and stay behind. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger will release the snail and the firing pin will be released and reset, thereby firing the bullet base.
This method of making M1897 mountain cannon is an old antique from the World War I period. The firing pin is connected to a spring that exerts force, and a two-foot-long rope is connected behind it.
Just tighten the rope hard and accumulate force, and after being loosened, the striker will be shot out, which will fire the shell bottom.
Such a firing device is simply incredible.
But even such equipment is a popular item among the Eighth Route Army. Many troops want to get one or two out of their scalp.
Even Li Yunlong forced the new group, which was originally a supplementary group, into the main group, and only got a Type 89 mortar. As for this Italian cannon, Li Yunlong dreamed of having it.
Wang Chengzhu did not hesitate at all, and suddenly loosened the rope after pulling down the rope.
boom!
A shell hit the Japanese artillery position directly, and instantly overturned two Type 92 infantry cannons!
"Zhuzi! What a fucking good look!"
Li Yunlong watched Wang Chengzhu hit the target with a shell and cheered him loudly. At the same time, he did not forget to glance at the blind man Cheng. After seeing the latter's stunned appearance, the smug look on his face became even more proud.
"I said, Lao Cheng, you soldiers should train as soon as you should, otherwise you will always lose your chain at critical moments!"
