Chapter 1050 Complete victory (4)
The consequences are naturally terrible.
The Black Hawk Army was not only disciplined, but it could even be said that it had been so shockingly stubborn that the military orders were executed. Even though they knew that the kingdoms would hit the mortars, under the order of the squadron leader, no one left the heavy machine gun and looked for cover or ran away. They were all carrying the heavy machine guns.
Naturally, it greatly dragged down their retreat speed.
Of course, in addition to some old-fashioned and stubborn national characteristics, this is actually related to the strict and even strict military discipline of the Black Hawk Army. As a resource-poor Black Hawk Empire, the Black Hawk Army attaches great importance to weapons and equipment. If weapons are lost or weapons are lost, the person responsible will be punished extremely severely.
"Bastard, where is our mortar? Fight back, fight back!" Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei almost turned his back when he saw this scene.
The infantry artillery position was previously mortared by the Independent Regiment's mortar wheel. Although Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei was angry, he was actually a little scared. Although the 20th Division was invincible on the northern battlefield, it was by no means unscathed. Seventy percent of the soldiers' casualties were not casualties from gun bullets, but from the kingdoms' mortars and grenades.
It can be said that the mortars that the kingdom people equipped the troops were the weapons that the Black Hawks hated and feared the most, and the rest were not worth mentioning.
Mortar shells are actually not very powerful. Although the infantry artillery position was wheeled before, the infantry artillery did not suffer much loss. After all, it was a lump of iron of more than 200 kilograms. As long as it was not hit by the shells, it was just overturned by the air waves, it could basically be used again. However, the gunners were killed or injured a little. There were only more than ten gunners who could survive by chance in the entire infantry artillery position, and the casualty rate was as high as 85%.
Moreover, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei was also lucky. The kingdoms did not use mortars to strike their own machine gun positions from the beginning of the battle, but concentrated their firepower to strike infantry artillery positions. Does that mean that they did not have many shells, and they had to use precious shells on the blade instead of the back of the knife?
Anyway, if it were the command of the old Lieutenant Colonel, if the shell stock was sufficient, it would attack the heavy machine gun positions from the beginning. And the "notorious" "Beast Colonel" of the Independent Regiment is definitely not a fool! The old Lieutenant Colonel has never underestimated the enemy's habit.
The next seven or eight minutes of battle was in line with his guess. After the crazy shelling of the infantry artillery positions, the kingdoms' mortars did not speak anymore, allowing heavy machine guns on both wings to shoot at their own positions, covering the opponent's infantry to continue advancing.
However, since the chariot squadron suffered heavy losses and three tanks were destroyed in a row, the kingdoms' mortars began to shell again. Moreover, this time, they were even more violent than the infantry artillery positions. Judging from the intensity of the artillery fire, at least hundreds of shells were smashed.
When did the kingdom become so rich? Looking at the figure of his own soldiers who were carrying heavy machine guns in the thick smoke in the telescope but were constantly blown down and seemed extremely helpless, the old Lieutenant Colonel almost bit his back teeth.
The "Collector of the Beast" is so cunning that it can even be said to be cruel. With such strength, he would rather let his opponent's heavy machine gun shoot at his position for more than twenty minutes, and it did not explode in one fell swoop.
What did he want to do?
But no matter what Liu Lang wanted to do, facing the large number of mortars in the Independent Regiment, the only one that the 1st Infantry Brigade can fight back is the only one who can fight back.
Yes, for this infantry support artillery that rose in World War I, not only the Kingdom Army, but also the Black Hawk Army.
However, looking at the two bulky Type 94 90MM mortars raised by the brigade's direct artillery squad, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei couldn't help but jump straight on his forehead.
That's right, compared with the 82-caliber mortars weighing more than 60 kilograms of the Kingdom Army, the Black Hawk Army's Type 94 90-caliber mortars are so awesome from the caliber.
But... the Black Hawk Empire military industry is once again insane.
The Type 94 mortar with a total weight of 175 kg is too heavy, and the heavy one is almost the same as the 92 infantry cannon. Although the power of the 5.26 kg projectile is much larger than that of the Kingdom Army's 82 mortar, and the range of 3,800 meters is also far.
However, after having the 92 infantry cannon that can be used as a direct sighting gun and a curved fire cannon, as the commander, who would be willing to equip this mortar with only a single function of trenches? It's so heavy that at least one artillery squad will be served.
The total weight of the Kingdom Army's equipment is more than 60 kilograms, and four soldiers can easily disassemble it and carry it and run away. In terms of mobility, it can be more than eight streets away from the 94 type.
Thinking about the fact that the leader Lang, who was a perverted physical fitness, resisted Taiwan 82 alone and chased the Sixth Division and kicked their butts a few times. If it were replaced by the 175-kilogram Type 94, it would be estimated that even if the leader Lang could bear it, he would not be able to run like a rabbit, and he would flash it if he hit it.
Therefore, the Black Hawk Army Infantry Regiment only gave the military factory face and symbolically equipped six. That's right, each infantry brigade's artillery team has two or two infantry artillery pieces, at least in terms of mortars, which is less than a regiment of the Kingdom Army.
The individual grenade launcher, which was introduced as a magical weapon by the Black Hawk Army, is very awesome when fighting on the front line. It can blow up the fire points of light machine guns and even heavy machine guns, but its range is limited, and the farthest one is only six or seven hundred meters. Moreover, the grenade loading is small, which is not the same level of equipment as a mortar, which can send 4 kilograms of projectiles to any corner of the battlefield 100 to 3,000 meters.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei had reason to believe that when the kingdom people packed up the heavy machine gun positions, they would face the guns at the grenade launchers hidden behind the natural bunkers of the positions and the infantry crawling on the ground.
Natural stones may be used as gun bullets, but they are really powerless for such shells that fall from the top of their heads!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only is it "imagining" the future, but just look at the two 94 mortars in front of you, and tried to launch artillery bombardment on the opposite mortar position hidden behind the Kingdom position on the artillery position 300 meters away.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei couldn't help but want to shrink his body into the trenches. The kingdom people seem to have more mortars than us! This will not be beaten up again in a while!
The two doors are really shabby.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei had never hated his crow brain so much. This idea of being outnumbered just flashed by, but it soon became a reality.
Because the mortar position built by the independent regiment is hidden behind the top position, and in order to prevent the Black Hawk Army's artillery from retaliating against the fire of a curved gun, it also dug traffic trenches and individual anti-aircraft artillery holes. Even the artillery shells were stored in a special ammunition depot of more than four meters deep dug in the hillside for safety. As long as it was not hit by more than two 250-pound aerial bombs in the front, it would basically not explode.
A total of 1,500 mortar shells, 2,000 machine gun shells and 4,000 grenades were reserved. Once the front-line ammunition depot with 100,000 bullets exploded, it would be enough to shake down the entire top position. It is estimated that even the nearly three infantry companies on standby in the tunnels on the hillside must be buried in the mountains.
Just digging this ammunition depot, a platoon of more than 40 infantrymen was used to dig for three days and three nights, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate safety.
The ammunition soldiers did nothing else during this period, just collect boxes of mortar shells from the ammunition depot, and then carry four rounds and one box of ammunition boxes to the position. Each gun had six dedicated ammunition soldiers responsible for supplying ammunition, which almost couldn't keep up with the speed of the crazy gunners firing nearly 20 shells in one minute.
Because there were not too many wounded soldiers, Xiong Si, who had been waiting in the trenches for a long time but couldn't bear the loneliness, so he even ran to help carry the shells. Generally speaking, the shells and special shell boxes totaled about 17 kilograms. Because of the fact that they had to go up the mountain, one ammunition hand only moved a box for safety. However, Xiong Si, who had a weight of about 100 kilograms, was so awesome. The bear, whose biting force was amazing, opened a box and held a box in his mouth, with a hook on his back, and hung two boxes on both sides of the left and right sides of the small vest that was used to drag a stretcher. One bear could be used as three people.
At the beginning, the bullet supplyers were far away from this guy who didn't leave without hanging three boxes, for fear that the shell box in his mouth would fall and send everyone to heaven together. Later, when he saw Xiong Si was also a guy who was afraid of death. The bear bit the mouth, even if Captain Liu came, he couldn't break it. He was safe and sound for several consecutive trips, so he became bold.
From time to time, he deliberately ran in front of Xiong Si who was very cautious in climbing the mountain. Xiong Si was afraid of this. When his thick limbs exerted force, it was definitely not commensurate with its round body. Especially when he went down the mountain with empty claws, he rolled down with his head. The stones and other giant pandas with thick fur and fat enough and wearing special vests that can be cut by a knife are completely useless.
However, when the Type 94 mortar suddenly opened fire at the mortar position that the Black Hawk Army had observed for a long time, although it was more than 100 meters away from the artillery position, it happened to be 40 meters away from the bear who was carrying the shells up the mountain.
The giant panda has myopia, but its hearing is very sensitive. When it is rumbling, it could have avoided it by its commonly used limbs. However, Xiong Si, who holds the shell box in his mouth, chose to be hard and motionless until he gently put the shell box in his mouth on the ground, and then he threw himself to the ground with a standard "bear eating shit" and protected the shell box under his body.
His plump butt shivered violently, and his hair was dyed black. Obviously, he was injured because his target was too big.
When Liu Jinzuo heard the ammunition below, he looked over there and the mascot that the whole group liked fell to the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.
Not to mention that this guy is wearing a silk vest that only school-level officers can tell how much he likes him. Just look at the few bullet-feeders who rushed over in panic and know how much it likes everyone. This damn Black Hawk Empire man is the special girl who wants him to take the blame! Or is it the whole regiment's blame.
Fortunately, when Liu Jinzuo saw Xiong Si wearing a helmet shake his head again, he felt half relieved.
"Find the Black Hawk Empire's mortar positions, all, all, ten consecutive shots, covering the shelling." Liu Jinzuo yelled at the top of his lungs.
The artillery retaliation of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment was far beyond the imagination of the old Lieutenant Colonel. The two 94 mortars had just fired more than a dozen shells, but they were hit back by nearly a hundred shells.
Bastard! He bullies the weak with the masses... He was almost injured by a shell that was not too high when flying over, and the old Lieutenant Colonel who was hiding back into the bunker, and his eyes turned red with anger.
Chapter completed!
