It would be fine if he wanted to kill himself for the sake of an iron mine, but the fat man in front of him, who had a good time and a smile on his face, actually put himself and the 200 elite men under his command in danger. Huang Jiqing would not do it anyway.
I'm a little confused.
Not only Huang Jiqing couldn't figure it out, Chi Dakui and the 200 veterans looked pale and listened to the huge explosion not far away, and they were also a little confused.
If the regiment is dissatisfied with their ability to complete the task, there is no need to use cannon to kill them! It is really too luxurious.
The explosion point of the shell just now was still dozens of meters away from them. Veterans who have experienced battles all know that in wartime, this is just a test firing, and the real bombardment will come next. If Fat Tuanzu really goes crazy
if.
It turns out that Fat Tuanzuo is even crazier than they thought.
One after another, huge explosions continued to explode overhead. It took several minutes before the explosions gradually stopped.
In just five minutes, it seemed like a century had passed to the veterans. The crazy artillery company actually poured dozens of artillery shells towards the hilltop with a radius of only a few hundred feet. If they had stayed in the trenches dug earlier, they would have been killed.
It was so fried that not even the dregs were left!
Fortunately, the location of the so-called reverse slope tunnel that Pang Tuan Zuo asked them to dig was very unique. The Bofors 75MM mountain cannon blew up the top of the mountain into a sea of fire, but no bomb actually fell on the tunnel. Even if there were occasional shells
After crossing the top of the mountain, they only hit another valley. Their tunnel built on the back of the mountain was not attacked by a single cannonball at all.
Compared with his subordinates who were still in shock before, Liu Lang did not take the artillery bombardment he arranged seriously at all. The anti-slope tunnel fortifications had been proven in the "Five Sacred Mountains" battle twenty years later, whether it was mountain artillery
Or howitzers, direct-fire artillery's damage to anti-slope fortifications can almost be described as negligible.
The accuracy of the Bofors Mountain Cannon is indeed as recorded in history. It is very accurate. Except for the three pre-tested rounds, 90% of the forty rounds hit the target. The rate of fire is also fast enough.
, within a few minutes, the two mountain cannons destroyed the two bases.
With its high rate of fire and accurate shooting, it will naturally take advantage of the artillery battle between the two sides, especially the Bofors Mountain Cannon with a range of up to 9,000 feet, which can completely crush the Type 41 Mountain Cannon currently equipped by the Japanese army as the main force at the regiment level. Liu Lang said:
Zhao Ergou was very satisfied with the first live-fire firing of the newly established artillery company. Although it wasted 40 rounds of artillery shells worth hundreds of dollars, there were no more shells to buy. If the artillery did not even have live-fire training, Liu Lang would not
Dare to pin the hope of fighting the Japanese army in half a year on his newly formed artillery company.
A key point of anti-slope tunnel tactics for mountain defense is the need for sufficient artillery support. Without artillery, tunnel warfare is a joke. During World War II, the Japanese also used anti-slope tunnel tactics to deal with American soldiers.
The exception was beaten to shit.
The reason why the Republic was able to cripple American soldiers on a position of only 3.7 square kilometers was because the American soldiers threw 1.9 million artillery shells. The red soldiers also dropped 450,000 artillery shells on it. Although it was slightly less, it was
It is also a terrible number.
If Liu Lang guessed correctly, the shallow trench on the top of the mountain has now been razed to the ground. But it is conceivable that with the help of these dozens of artillery shells, no matter what kind of rock it is, Chi Dakui and the others will dig again.
It should be much easier when we are in the trenches.
Looking at Chi Dakui's face, you can tell that he should understand to some extent now that in the face of life, the landform is really not as important as Master Huang said.
Seeing Liu Lang looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Chi Dakui's face turned red. During this period, the Independent Regiment had been going smoothly. The recruitment of new soldiers was going smoothly. The equipment was up-to-date. Because of the rich man like the chief, not only did the military salary increase,
He has never been in arrears and is much higher than before. He himself became a lieutenant colonel. It can be said that Chi Dakui slept with a smile on his lips during this period. To describe it in terms of the future, if he was given another
Daughter-in-law, that’s the right time to reach the pinnacle of life.
People are actually a bit mean. As long as they are determined to achieve their goals in life, they will slack off. Regardless of the topography that some scholars used to explain why the trenches were not dug deep enough, Chi Dakui actually understood in his heart that no matter how hard the rock is,
, as long as he wants to dig, there is really no shortage of explosives and so on in the Independent Regiment now. With a few blasts, they can dig out a bunker enough to hide in any rock, no matter how hard it is.
Now, Liu Lang used his very vivid personal experience of artillery bombardment to tell him that now is far from the time to be complacent. There is only one result for laziness on the battlefield---death. The enemy's artillery will not be like this
Wait until you have a chance to run into the reverse slope tunnel before attacking.
"Sir, I..." Chi Dakui was also a very straightforward person. Now that he had thought of it, he was ready to admit his mistake to Liu Lang.
Liu Lang smiled slightly, pointed to the top of his head, and said nothing.
Almost at the same time, a loud "pop" sound rang in everyone's ears.
However, this time it is not on the top of the mountain, but on top of the head.
If the national army is most familiar with the sound of exploding artillery shells, this is undoubtedly it.
Mortars are the most equipped small artillery pieces in the Chinese army's artillery array. Of course, this is mainly because there are no cannons.
In order to make up for the lack of artillery power, the Military Commission, which had little money and no artillery manufacturing technology, manufactured a large number of mortars and gradually equipped the millions of national troops into a force with the largest number of mortars in the world. Although it was still not enough
The Japanese army had a full range of howitzers, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars, but they also had long-range weapons that could kill people from a distance of two kilometers.
Facts have also proved that mortars caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army. This should be regarded as a helpless success!
However, the more familiar they became, the more scared they became. The faces of the veterans suddenly turned pale.
The mountain cannon just now was a direct-firing cannon. A few minutes of shelling had proved that the direct-firing cannon couldn't do anything to the tunnel fortifications they were in. However, the mortar was a straight-firing cannon. That thing would go around the top of the mountain and fall down!
Can their tunnels withstand mortar bombardment?
The veterans looked at the dusty top of the tunnel above their heads and felt a little bit mad. If they had known that Fat Tuanzuo would be so crazy, they should have added two layers of steel plates to the top of the tunnel made of logs and sandbags.
There are some things that you really can’t save!
Facts also proved that veterans are veterans, and their guess was absolutely correct. Mortars and other direct-fire artillery finally posed a certain threat to the tunnels on the back of the mountain.
Although most of the mortar shells that rained down did not actually hit the tunnel, there were still one or two blind and dead mice that hit the top of the tunnel.
Fortunately, although each person's head was covered with a head of dust, this fact showed that their efforts for months were still successful. They only ate some ashes under the cannonballs of their own people and did not turn into ashes.
"Zhao Ergou of Donkey Day, artillery shells are free! Will you die if you save a little bit? You are happy now. I will not turn you into a dog when I go out. I, Chi Dakui, have your surname." Chi Dakui is here.
In my heart, I scolded a certain artillery company commander bloody.
In fact, Zhao Ergou, who was at the foot of the mountain at this time, was not happy at all and his life was not easy.
