Rise from the sword

Chapter 110 Artillery Covering!

"Haha, this marksmanship is good!"

In the suddenly silent battlefield, Li Yunlong was the first to react. He stuck the big blade on the ground and gave a thumbs up in praise:

"You are worthy of being the political commissar of our independent regiment!"

Afterwards, he lifted the large blade that he carried with him, and cursed at the stunned crowd: "What are you doing standing still? Waiting to die? The Second Battalion organizes firepower to suppress the devil's gun tower, and the rest of the people rush to transport the food out of the village."

After being scolded by Li Yunlong, everyone recovered from the shock.

Several teams of machine gun teams from the second battalion took advantage of the time when the devil was blinded by two shots, bent down, and quietly groped along the grass to the front of the gun tower at the intersection, intending to knock off the devil's searchlight.If you want the troops to pass safely, you must turn off the searchlights of the devils and let the devils catch them blind.

The soldiers of the independent battalion of new recruits also picked up the heavy food bags and arranged them neatly, ready to sprint.

These newly recruited soldiers are all poor peasants, knowing that they are not good enough to fight devils, so they carry a shoulder pole rope in their hands, and contribute their strength peacefully.

These men who have worked hard in the fields all year round may not have good military skills, but they are proficient in carrying burdens. The lowest people can carry hundreds of catties of burdens, and there are even strong men who can carry two hundred catties of grain alone. .

Afterwards, according to Huang Baowang's statistics, the 800-member recruit battalion transported more than [-] catties of grain to the regiment on the basis of their burdens.

"More than 500 meters!"

"Political commissar, your marksmanship is really good!..."

Behind Zhao Gang, Monk Wei, who was carrying a red-tasseled gun, compared him to the devil's gun tower far away, and praised him dumbfoundedly.

He knew that Political Commissar Zhao was good at marksmanship, and he showed it when he rescued him.

At that time, three shots killed three enemies at 200 meters, and none of the shots was missed. Even if the pursuing puppet army moved to hide, they were still shot in the head. This forced dozens of puppet troops who were chasing him to retreat.

Killing the enemy with a 200-meter gun. Although this kind of marksmanship is rare, Monk Wei has seen it in his previous troops. In the army, it is normal to have one or two sharpshooters.

But just now—

At a distance of more than 500 meters, with a machine sight at night, two consecutive bullets hit the Devil's machine gunner through a palm-sized hole. This kind of shooting technique completely surpassed the monk's imagination and refreshed his cognition of marksmanship.

Neither seen nor heard of!
"The searchlights on the turret exposed the devil's machine gunner inside the turret. From here, you can see the gaps in the bulletproof steel plate. If you see it, as long as you aim correctly, you can hit it naturally."

Pull the bolt and load the Mauser in his hand, Zhao Gang explained.

Then, he touched the Mauser rifle in his hand and exclaimed:

"The quality of this gun and bullets is extremely high, much better than that of the devil. There are also great reasons for the gun and bullets to be able to hit this gun and bullets."

All along, Zhao Gang knew that the weapons and ammunition in the regiment were of high quality, but only after using them now did he realize that the quality of the weapons and ammunition was much higher than he had imagined.

Soldiers love guns, especially good ones!

He was a little reluctant to part with the gun.

Maybe it was because they were stunned by these two shots, and they were also frightened by these two shots. The devil's gun tower did not make any sound for a long time, and there was no light machine gun or rifle shooting. Several machine gun teams from the second battalion touched the gun tower 300 It is a shuttle to set up five Bren-style searchlights facing the devils.

Crackling...
Amid the crisp sound of glass shattering, the beam of light shattered, and the entrance of Jiazhuang's village became dark again.

"Quick pass!"

"Second Battalion, pay attention!"

Li Yunlong immediately ordered the troops to pass quickly.

After the searchlight was extinguished, the devils in the blockhouse remained silent, allowing everyone in the independent regiment to pass safely.

When passing by the entrance of the village, looking at the dozen or so soldiers who were being restrained and killed by the devil's heavy machine gun, while sighing, an idea came to Li Datuan's mind.

Do you want to get some heavy machine guns next time?
If this heavy machine gun is used well, it is indeed a good thing!
As long as the fortress is built, the firepower net of a few heavy machine guns can seal off a large fan-shaped area, and the devil's heavy artillery can't be pushed into the mountain.

Inside Jia Zhuang, in front of the Liu family compound, the villagers who were still gathered looked at the searchlights that were extinguished, and suddenly became quiet, and then some hesitant people gritted their teeth and carried the food back home.

After all the troops passed through the entrance of the village, Li Yunlong approached Cao Mantang. After whispering in his ear for a while, Cao Mantang, who was covered by branches, carried his gun and disappeared into the darkness.

······
Jingle Bell······

At the Japanese Army Communications Office in Shou County, the phone rang again, and the operator who had been preparing for battle quickly grabbed the phone.

"Nani? Jiazhuang was attacked by the Eighth Route Army? How many squadrons are there?"

"Okay, I'll notify Your Excellency Lieutenant Commander immediately!"

Putting down the phone, the operator quickly ran to the headquarters.

Knowing that Jiazhuang was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and that there were a large number of them, the captain of the Japanese army's Heidao multi-person squadron stationed in Shou County immediately ordered the troops to assemble.

Because of the Xinyi Regiment's siege of the artillery tower twice, the Japanese brigade stationed in Shou County has always maintained a high level of combat readiness. Only 10 minutes later, more than 400 devils drove to Jiazhuang under the leadership of five trucks, and went to Jiazhuang together. There are more than 150 people in the security team, and the captain is the second son of the Liu family, the landlord of Jiazhuang.

During the march, many people in Heidao did not have the slightest carelessness and arrogance that the Japanese army should have. They sent reconnaissance teams in three directions.The formation of troops was also very careful. Five trucks were in the middle, and the troops spread out in skirmish lines. More than 400 people formed a 600-meter-long team.

It wasn't that he was afraid. Many people in Heidao had always looked down on the Eighth Route Army, thinking that it was nothing more than a group of peasants' mud legs. But he didn't want his troops to suffer huge losses from a sudden burst of machine gun fire.

Shouxian County is five kilometers away from Jiazhuang. There are many mountains in the middle, and the road is winding and difficult, so the speed of the devil's march is not fast.In the dark, the headlights on the head of the car are particularly eye-catching.

As soon as the devil left the city, the artillery company that had already ambushed discovered it.

The artillery position of the Independent Regiment was set up on a high mountain, and the distance and direction of the devil were quickly observed through the scissors gun mirror against the precise map, and the observer quickly reported the devil's position:
"Distance 3500, bearing 160."

The company commander Yansheng immediately shouted: "The distance is 3500 yards, the bearing is 160, one high-explosive bomb, and the fourth charge."

On the gun position, the gunner quickly adjusted the height of the mortar according to the coordinates, the scheduled shooting elements and the map, and the loader took out a shell weighing five kilograms and charged with one kilogram of RDX.After adjusting the number of ammunition packs at the tail, stuff them into the gun bore.

bang...

The flames erupted, the muzzle was scorching hot and the wind swept across, and two five-kilogram shells flew towards the devil at a speed of more than 200 meters per second.

Seeing that the cannonball finally came out, Yan Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The main force of the blocking bombardment this time is two 82 mortars. The five kilogram shells are so powerful that they can reimburse a squad with one shot. Far, but the long range also poses a problem.

Compared with the 60 mortars that can be shot by feeling, the 82 mortars have higher technical requirements for artillery.

It's just that the artillery company of the independent regiment has only been established for less than a month, and the quality of the artillery is seriously insufficient. Although he has been focusing on training, his improvement in a short period of time is quite limited.

Ten seconds later, two shells landed in the mountains, at least 300 meters away from the predetermined point.

"Very good, three secret places to the left, continue..."

On the artillery position, Yansheng held up his binoculars and calmly gave orders.

Under his command, the gunner quickly adjusted the steering gear, and only half a minute later, the second wave of shells was fired again.

"continue···"

Commanding heights are commanding positions, condescending, and gunners can directly observe the landing point of the shells, so they can quickly aim according to the impact point. It is difficult for the enemy located in the low ground to counterattack.

As the shelling of the artillery company gradually entered the right track, the rate of fire of the 82 mortars became faster and faster, and the impact of the shells became more and more accurate.

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the artillery position.

A shell accurately hit the devil's car, and in the huge explosion fireball, the devil's little bean truck was directly blown to pieces, and the flaming wreckage provided the best lighting for the gunner.

"continue···"

Yansheng's voice didn't fluctuate at all: "Send a signal, let the third row take action."

boom boom boom

On the commanding heights, the artillery fire continued, and the shells kept flying towards the devils on the road...

The gunners became more and more excited, and the shells fell more and more accurately. Especially after hitting the devil's car, the gunners' minds seemed to be blown out. In the past, the artillery map coordinates and secret positions that made their scalps numb Mathematical knowledge such as , direction angle, etc. is suddenly mastered, and the direction and height adjustment in hand become more and more handy.

It has already entered the state of human-cannon integration.

The artillerymen of the Independence Regiment were having a good time blasting, and the devils in Shou County were getting worse and worse.

When the first wave of two shells exploded in the mountains and forests, the hearts of many people on Heidao who had been waiting for the guerrillas to ambush suddenly trembled amid the violent explosion.

What he had been guarding against was the sudden intensive machine gun fire from the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't expect that what was waiting was shelling...
and.

Looking at the huge explosive fireworks, everyone in Heijima felt more and more uneasy.

The power of this shell almost caught up with the 75 mountain cannon.

What a caliber mortar is this!There is such a great power?
"Scatter, scatter, scatter from the road, run forward, Lieutenant Kobayashi, you lead your squadron to find the enemy's artillery positions."

Many people in Heidao responded quickly, and the devil's large force spread out along the road. A squadron of more than 100 people drove forward quickly in a car, intending to use the speed of the car to attack and occupy the artillery position of the independent regiment.

However, the speed of the Devil's car could not be increased due to the winding mountain road, and the mortar shelling was getting faster and faster. After 3 minutes, a mortar shell accurately hit the moving car, and the huge During the explosion, more than a dozen devils and the little bean truck were torn apart.

"idiot···"

The loss of a dozen soldiers and a truck made the eyes of many people on the Black Island red: "Push away the wreckage, keep going, don't stop."

He knew that if he stopped on the spot, his car would only become the target of the enemy's mortar fire and be completely blown up, and judging from the enemy's shelling density, it was obvious that the other party had no shortage of shells.

The enemy artillery positions must be taken immediately.

At this time, a shining signal flare appeared in the distant sky...

boom boom boom

On a small high ground on the left, a series of muzzle fireworks emerged, and at the same time, more than a dozen 60 mortar shells exploded in the road, and several devils who could not escape were directly killed...
The three platoons of the artillery company and the two 60mm mortars it equipped with started.

This kind of lightweight mortar with a total weight of only 18 kilograms has a range of no more than 82 kilometers and low power of shells, but it is extremely maneuverable and can be carried and run by a single person. Two people are an artillery squad. The demand for the gun is also extremely low, as long as there is a flat ground, it can be launched, and the rate of fire is far higher than that of the [-] mortar.

Among the densely falling mortar shells, the Japanese army responded very quickly, and a small team of devils quickly touched the position of 60 mortar shells.

Compared with the 82 mortar with a range of five kilometers, once the 60 mortar fires, it will inevitably be exposed to the enemy.

"withdraw···"

Seeing the devils they touched, the three platoon leaders picked up the mortars and fled.

Their purpose is to stop the devils and slow down the speed of the devils' support to Jia Zhuang. Now that the devils divide their forces to pursue them, the goal has been achieved, so naturally they will not entangle with the devils.

The light 60mm forced the third platoon to maneuver quickly in the mountains and forests, and when the devil team arrived, they had long since disappeared.

At this time, the 82 mortars were still shelling one after another, and as the distance from the shelling position got closer, the shells became more accurate, and shells kept falling in the middle of the truck team. Finally, the second hapless ghost Appeared, another Devil Bean Truck was hit, and a dozen devils were shattered into pieces in the explosion fireball.

The devil hadn't recovered from the sadness of the second truck being bombed, and the second platoon of the artillery came out to join in the fun. Two 60mm mortars and twenty shells made the devil run wild again.

Fortunately, the devil's straggler line was wide enough, and the evasion was timely. This time, only one devil was injured in the shelling, but it also forced the advancing troops to stop.

"The trucks turned off their headlights, the troops left the road, and the wings of the [-]st and [-]nd Squadron spread out to guard."

Many people on Heidao finally stopped their heads and ordered the troops to leave the road and advance on the mountain road, and sent a large number of troops to spread the guard to prevent sudden shelling.

As the devils entered the mountain road, in the dark, the 82 mortar positions of the artillery company could not observe the traces of the devils, and the shelling gradually stopped, and the devils who spread the investigation also made it impossible for two mortar platoons to do anything, and a reconnaissance post was entangled by the devils He was injured and had to choose to retreat.

After all, they are only artillery, lacking close combat ability, once they are entangled by devils, they will suffer heavy losses or even wipe out the whole army.

However, the goal has been achieved, the marching speed of the devils who left the road has been greatly reduced, and the goal of lagging has been achieved.

"withdraw···"

After dismantling the bottom plate, barrel, and bipod, Yan Sheng also retreated with two 82 mortars.

By the time many people from Heidao came to Jiazhuang with difficulty from the mountain road, Li Yunlong had already disappeared into the vast mountains with his independent group.

At this time, many people in Hei Dao, who were furious, also learned a piece of news.

"The person who attacked Jiazhuang was called Li Yunlong?"

"Li Yunlong, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"

Many people in Heidao, who were holding sabers and wanting to kill someone, looked at the interpreter, who was the young master of the Liu family in Jiazhuang.

"Yes, Taijun, which commander of the Eighth Route Army personally said this."

Splitting his head in the middle, the interpreter with his eyes looked like a dead father: "This group of Tubalu even robbed our family of food, and please ask the prince to make decisions for us!"
