Chapter 202: Shoot one shot first and then talk about it
No matter bombing or shelling, no one will carry out it when their own people are 200 meters away from the enemy's front line.
The first thing to stop was the bombing, but the fighter planes did not attack the other side of the river because it was full of exploding kites. Depending on the situation, it was dangerous to be even a hundred meters away from those kites flying randomly.
Therefore, when the Japanese army approached within 100 meters of the river defense line, the shelling and bombing stopped almost at the same time. The artillery extended its firepower and launched an attack on the loess position on the other side of the river.
At the same time, small-caliber mortars, grenade launchers and machine guns fired almost simultaneously.
This is the firepower that directly supports the infantry charge, and it is also the most annoying firepower.
Hu Yang suddenly appeared and glanced at the Japanese soldiers running towards him, but he was immediately hit by the Japanese's crooked machine gun.
In this case, Populus euphratica took out the soil from the military camp and made a periscope.
It's just about a foot long and looks like a cigarette bag, with a circled lens installed at the front corner. You can see the outside scene through the rear lens, and you can also roughly measure distance.
There were almost one shell shell and one bomb crater on the position, and the mangled corpses of soldiers were on the edges of those craters.
Although there are casualties, the casualties in the overall position are not likely to be large. After all, one man per pit, as long as he is not directly hit by artillery fire, the possibility of damage is not great.
"puff"
The sound of sniper rifle shooting sounded not far away, and Populus euphratica was a little envious of the well-concealed attacker. The guy looked like a pile of grass, but if you look closely, you can still tell that it was a person.
However, what Hu Yang never expected was the sudden sound of grenade ammunition falling.
"Grenade..."
His eyes were glued to the periscope, staring at the sniper who had just fired. The falling grenade ammunition and the explosion of the grass caused the black soil inside to rise up.
The haystack was not moving, and Populus euphratica did not want to think about it.
But then the haystack squirmed like a snail, and then left his hiding place, probably heading to other sniper positions that had been prepared long ago.
Not knowing the situation of the snipers, Hu Yang only saw Japanese soldiers' machine gunners and grenade launchers suddenly stopping their attacks from time to time.
Silent sniping is really the most difficult thing to guard against on the battlefield.
He heard someone from the sniper team arguing with Zhang Sixing about whether a silencer was needed.
Hu Yang felt there was no need to argue. When he was attacked by a sniper on the battlefield, everyone wanted to find the sniper's location. But if he didn't know the direction of the bullet, then by the time his eyes looked over, the smoke and dust caused by the shooting would have dispersed.
.
If you can't find a sniper, you won't be able to advance smoothly, and all grenade launchers, machine gunners, and orderlies will have no safety at all.
Hu Yang felt relieved and observed the battlefield. At this time, the Japanese attacking infantry had entered the shooting range of him and his men. However, he did not move, thinking about Zhang Sixing's explanation.
"Put it in close. Keep the enemy close and then hit it. Don't rush to pull the mines, leave them when they are most useful."
After fighting in the Sihang Warehouse for four days and four nights, he knew that the helmet mine was a weapon used to deal with the marching brigade, and now was not the time to use it.
The closer the Japanese got to their own front, the slower they moved, and the Japanese closer to the front of the position began to dig trenches.
This is not a good sign. If the Japanese really allow the Japanese to establish a front there and deploy machine guns and grenades, the threat to Hu Yang and his men will be too great.
The helpless Hu Yang had no choice but to give up the plan of bringing the enemy closer to thirty or even twenty meters before opening fire. After holding his breath, he blew the whistle with a sharp "??" sound.
Following the whistle, the soldiers in the single-pit battle line stretched out their heads one by one and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers a hundred meters away.
The rifle fire of the 38-gun was suppressed almost instantly. Even if it faced the semi-automatic fire of hundreds of box guns, it would have no advantage at all.
On a plain battlefield, it is difficult to conceal the intentions of the commanders on both sides of the battle, especially when one side is cheating.
At this moment, Jason Lauer, who was carrying a walkie-talkie, was floating in the air about 150 meters.
Of course he can't fly a delta wing, but it's true that this guy is brave enough.
When Ren Zhang Si Xing flies, he carries a delta wing on his back, but this guy really flies on a sturdy kite.
Especially when Zhang Sixing is not here, no one can stop this guy if he wants to do something.
Even so that the Japanese wouldn't pay attention to him, he wrapped his head with a cloth of the same color as the kite cloth, which somehow covered up his messy yellow hair.
What makes people have to applaud him is that so far, the Japanese have not discovered that this guy is tied to a kite and flying into the sky. And in the sky, he can still rely on a walkie-talkie to direct the battle below.
"Gasoline cannon, let me blast those little devils, angle three, shoot one shot first and then talk."
In order to improve the durability and accuracy of the gasoline barrel cannon, Zhang Sixing made many improvements to it. For example, the lower part of the gasoline barrel was tightly wrapped with two pieces of hemp rope and watered before firing.
The twine will expand and tighten automatically when exposed to water, and it can also cool down the gasoline cannon. In addition, the shell shell can spin, which improves the accuracy. The most important thing is that the gasoline cannon can adjust the shooting distance according to the shooting angle.
.
Of course, the requirements for home-made weapons cannot be too high. On the premise of ensuring safety, improving some accuracy is not difficult at all for people with a little mechanical knowledge.
The so-called "shooting angle three", based on the maximum range of a gasoline barrel of 300 meters, the shooting distance is only about 150 meters. However, the warhead of the gasoline barrel cannon is too light, so such shooting is often inaccurate.
However, you really don’t have to expect too much from the accuracy of the homemade 200mm heavy artillery.
Following the order from Hansen Raul in the sky, the gasoline barrel cannons deployed along the river fired continuously.
In a series of dull "Peng Peng Peng" sounds, each five-kilogram explosive package flew directly to the trench that the Japanese were digging more than 100 meters away.
Before the Japanese shovels could dig a shallow hole in the ground, these large explosive packets fell to the ground.
The "rumbling" explosion sound is quite reminiscent of a 200mm heavy artillery, especially the gunners of the gasoline barrel cannon, who are now becoming more and more accustomed to this weapon.
They can even roughly estimate the time when the shell will hit the ground, and then shorten the fuse and fuse based on experience. This can reduce the impact of the explosion on the ground and increase the damage range.
The most important thing is that it explodes five or six meters in the air, so there is no need to worry about the crater created by the explosion, which can be used by the Japanese to hide bullets.
When he saw the explosive fireballs rising up among the crowd that the Japanese were digging through, Hu Yang was temporarily relieved. The corners of his mouth were blackened by gunpowder smoke, and his furry beard grinned.
"Humph, now you understand. Within the two hundred meters in front of my position, not everyone can dig a hole if they want."
