Chapter 122 Bofors Mountain Cannon

The two mountain cannons placed in front of him were brand new, with short and thick cannon barrels and unique arc shields that highlighted their identity.

The M1930 75mm mountain cannon with a range of more than 9 kilometers and a weight of only 700KG, is one of the most advanced mountain cannons in the world today. Liu Lang's happiness comes a bit suddenly.

Teacher Zhang’s gifts came not only a bit sudden, but also a bit too expensive.

The M1930 mountain cannon in front of Liu Lang was just successfully researched and is the latest type of artillery. Its performance had surpassed foreign artillery at that time and was the most advanced mountain cannon in the world during this period.

Liu Lang also knew that this kind of artillery was not only famous, but also in this Battle of Haicheng, the Bofos mountain cannon also proved its value as the top mountain cannon.

At that time, the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army had been fighting with the Black Hawk Army in Haicheng for two months. Liu Lang, who had shot the enemy headquarters, was also lying in the hospital, but the war continued. A small number of the Kingdom Army's air force was beaten by the Black Hawk Empire Air Force and did not dare to take off. The Navy did not dare to go to Haicheng because of the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us. The Kingdom Army soldiers fought with the Black Hawk Army armed to the teeth with light weapons, with great casualties.

At the command of the bald king, the newly formed mountain artillery regiment went to Haicheng to participate in the final battle with the Black Hawk Army.

Although the Bofors 75 mountain cannon is a newly introduced cannon, due to its extremely high accuracy, it also has a high hit rate among the undertrained Kingdom Army artillery. More importantly, the Bofors mountain cannon has a characteristic that is tailor-made for the Kingdom people.

It can be disassembled into 8 parts at any time, and its mobility can be fully adapted to the horizontal environment of the water network in Haicheng area.

At that time, the Black Hawk Army, which had already experienced the destruction of the Seventh Regiment, was crazy about increasing its troops, especially the output of heavy firepower. The Black Hawk Army, which was enhanced, had extremely powerful sea, land and air firepower. There were more than 200 large and medium-caliber artillery pieces in the army alone, and nearly 100 artillery pieces on the warships. If artillery artillery fights on a fixed position, it is tantamount to self-destruction and will be completed in an artillery battle in an instant. The strength of the enemy and us is too disparity.

Therefore, in the later stage of the Battle of Haicheng, the Kingdom Army adopted mountain artillery guerrilla warfare. First, secretly observe and select artillery positions. Then quietly arrive at the position, quickly load up mountain artillery, fire more than 10 shots, and then immediately dismantle and avoid.

By the time the Black Hawk Army reacted and attacked, the King's Army's mountain cannon had already been transferred. If the Black Hawk Army caught up, the Bofos mountain cannon could be divided into 8 parts and carried by mules and horses, and it would have run away without a trace.

In this battle, the Bofos mountain cannon was extremely accurate, so although it fired more than a dozen shots at a time, it played a great role. It had very accurate lethality on the Black Hawk Army's solid fortifications and the large number of infantry offensive teams, causing considerable casualties to the Black Hawk Army, which made the Black Hawk Army very angry.

Because the Bofos cannons were transferred quickly, the Black Hawk artillery and infantry could not catch up. If you use the Air Force, it would be extremely difficult to kill a few mules and horses, and in the end it would be left alone.

The reason why the Black Hawks could still win a draw in the battle of Haicheng with the advantageous firepower was that in addition to Liu Lang's accidental shot and the command of the Seventh Regiment, the Kingdom Army had a beautiful annihilation battle, and the mortars and Bofos Mountain Cannons that were extremely powerful to kill the Black Hawks also made great contributions.
