Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One Artillery Battalion Attacks
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The Japs' mountain artillery squadron took action, and the Japs soldiers who controlled the mountain artillery looked relaxed. They did not regard the Eighth Route Army's artillery as their opponents. To be precise, the Japs in the mountain artillery squadron did not think that the Eighth Route Army's artillery could threaten them!
The shells crashed into the Eighth Route Army mortar position two thousand meters away. The 75mm mountain cannon was not weak. The six-kilogram shell fell and directly exploded an obvious crater. The soldiers in the mortar position reacted quickly. They kept
Everyone was paying attention to the Japanese movements. As soon as the shells fell, the soldiers hid in the cat's ear holes.
Knowing that there was a mountain artillery squadron in the Japanese Okazaki Brigade, the soldiers built the cat's ear holes at the same time when building the mortar field. But now that the Japanese mountain artillery squadron has taken action, the cat's ear holes built by the soldiers have become useful.
Hiding in it, as long as your luck is not too bad, there is hope for survival.
Hiding in the Maoer Cave, the soldiers could hear shells falling continuously from the mortar positions, and the loud explosions sounded, buzzing in the ears of the soldiers. Feeling the density of the falling Japanese shells, the soldiers couldn't help but feel
He cursed, don't these Japanese know how to save artillery shells?
The Okazaki Battalion has experienced a lot of battles during this period, but the mountain artillery squadron among them did not have many opportunities to take action. This will allow the mountain artillery squadron to have enough artillery shells. In order to ensure that the Eighth Route Army's mortar positions can be killed
, the Japanese mountain artillery squadron also has no idea of saving shells,
At this time, five hundred meters behind the mortar position, the brigade commander was preparing with more than a dozen soldiers from the artillery team. In order to find the location of the Guizishan artillery squadron, the brigade commander chose to use the mortar from the front
The artillery position was used as a bait. Now that the position of the Guizishan artillery squadron was exposed, the artillery team soldiers naturally had the opportunity to take action.
It is worth mentioning that the mountain artillery shells brought by the brigade commander this time were not many, only about fifty rounds. For the mountain artillery squadron used to deal with the Japanese, the brigade commander could only let the soldiers use thirty shells at most, and the remaining shells
We also need to support the fighters in their attack on Guanjianao.
With the terrain of Guanjianao being easy to defend and difficult to attack, without the support of artillery fire, it would be difficult to kill the Japanese Okazaki Brigade in a short time! There are many mortars in the 129th Division, but the power of the mortars is too high.
Weak, it is difficult to destroy the fortifications built by the Japanese.
The 75mm mortar is different. The six-kilogram shell ensures that it has enough power to easily destroy the Japanese defenses!
"The position of the Japanese mountain artillery squadron has been exposed. It's up to you to rely on you next! Work hard! Kill the Japanese mountain artillery squadron directly!" The brigade commander looked at the soldiers of the artillery team in front of him and said loudly.
The soldiers of the artillery team looked solemn. When the Guizishan Artillery Squadron revealed their position, they were already calculating the corresponding data. The soldiers could not see the specific distance with the naked eye like Liu Gen could.
But the soldiers also have their own methods. They compare the data they see and find the closest one!
At the same time, the soldiers are also ready for the test firing. Without the captain Liu Gen, the test firing is still quite necessary. At least it can let the soldiers know whether the data they calculated is correct. If there is a problem, make adjustments immediately!
After choosing to test fire, the Japanese mountain artillery squadron will definitely find that the Eighth Route Army also has mountain artillery, which means that the lives of the soldiers are in certain danger! But there is no way, the soldiers can use limited shells, and they need to have enough accuracy.
That’s it!
"Prepare for test firing!" A mountain cannon is ready to fire!
"put!"
With an order, the artillery shells flew directly out of the mountain cannon and attacked the Japanese mountain artillery squadron on Guanjianao!
Ten seconds later, the shell fell and a loud explosion sounded. The soldiers who were paying close attention could see that the shell landed a little to the right of the Guizishan Artillery Squadron! As for the distance, it was just right. If it weren't for the angle that was a little to the right, then
This shell will definitely fall directly on the Guizishan Artillery Squadron's position.
"Adjust one degree to the left! Quick! Six consecutive rounds! Fastest speed!" The soldier in charge shouted loudly!
The soldiers who had been prepared all along acted quickly. In the shortest possible time, they adjusted the firing angle of the mountain cannon and pushed the shells into the barrel! In less than ten seconds, the five guns roared in unison.
The shells flew out quickly and headed towards the position of the Guizishan Artillery Squadron.
The artillery shells flew out, but the soldiers of the artillery team did not stop what they were doing. The shells were pushed into the gun barrel again and flew out of the gun barrel in the shortest time. Under the guidance of Captain Liu Gen
Under the circumstances, the soldiers clearly knew the importance of speed, especially when taking action against Japanese artillery units.
If the speed is not fast enough and the Japanese artillery units react, then the Japanese artillery troops will inevitably counterattack. No matter whether the Japanese artillery can hit or not, there will be considerable risks. Only the artillery speed is fast enough to ensure your own safety.
The brigade commander watched all this, with shock written all over his face. He knew that the artillery team had a strong combat effectiveness, but he did not expect that the cooperation between the artillery team soldiers would be so tacit, just like one person! If the artillery soldiers in each unit
If they can do this to this extent, then what does the Japanese artillery count for?
The soldiers were still in action. After firing at the Guizishan Artillery Squadron, they turned into machines, machines that would not make any mistakes! Unless they completed six consecutive rounds, they would not stop their actions at all.
"boom"
A shell exploded a hundred meters away from the artillery soldiers, but the brigade commander could see that the artillery soldiers were not affected at all, and the movements in their hands did not stop at all, as if they did not see this at all.
A cannonball is average.
Seeing the Japanese counterattack, the brigade commander was worried for the soldiers. He did not expect that the Japanese artillery would launch an attack in such a short period of time! The artillery shell failed to fall among the artillery soldiers. If it had hit accurately,
Soldiers of the artillery team, then the soldiers will definitely suffer certain casualties.
In order to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the artillery bombardment, a dozen soldiers from the artillery team controlled five mountain cannons. The brigade commander wanted to transfer artillery from other troops, but the soldiers of the artillery team refused. The soldiers of the artillery team understood
The brigade commander has good intentions, but the artillery of other units cannot keep up with their pace. If other artillery is really called in, it will only affect their combat effectiveness!
Without the help of other artillery, the dozen or so soldiers of the artillery team can only rely on their own strength to control the mountain cannon. It will undoubtedly be much more difficult for more than a dozen people to control the five mountain cannons! Because these soldiers have injuries, they chose to do this.
