I rise from the sword

Chapter 127 Shelling the Devils' Position
Then, Yang Lin called the Second Company Commander Zhao Dejiu, pointed to the mountain in front of him, and ordered: "Second Company Commander, have you seen that mountain depression? The little devil is hiding in the forest over there. You immediately lead the Second Company to touch it." , Block the path below the col.

When the battle starts later, no kid is allowed to escape, understand? "

"understand!"

Zhao Dejiu nodded heavily.

Yang Lin reminded again: "Remember, act carefully, don't be spotted by the devil's guard post!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Dejiu nodded again, then ran down the mountain bag, leading the officers and soldiers of the second company to move quietly through the woods towards the col path.

Yang Lin glanced at the devil's mortar position, and then said to Zhao Yuting who was beside him: "Old Zhao, have you seen the artillery position of the little devil? I will leave it to your artillery company!"
I have only one request for your artillery company. When the battle starts, don't let the devil artillery fire a single shell! "

"understand!"

Zhao Yuting took the order and left.

The execution ability of the artillery company is extremely strong. With the concerted efforts of all officers and soldiers, they established a position behind the small soil slope next to it in less than 10 minutes.

The artillery position chosen by Zhao Dejiu was separated from the devil's attack position and the artillery position by a small slope.

The purpose of this is that when they establish artillery positions, they will not be discovered by the little devils in advance.

The 60mm caliber mortars and 90mm caliber mortars in their hands are both curved-pointing artillery. They only need to adjust the shooting elements through the artillery mirror, and the shells can fly over the hills and land on the devil's position.

Seeing that battalion commander Yang Lin didn't arrange a combat mission for himself, Hou Meng couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He volunteered and said, "Battle commander, what about our reconnaissance company? Are we going to deal with the puppet army on the mountain?"

"No, those puppet troops who only know how to grind foreign workers are nothing to worry about. Once the little devils are defeated, they will surrender immediately. Your reconnaissance company has more important tasks."

Hou Meng asked curiously, "What mission?"

"As a veteran, you should know that only after going through the baptism of war can recruits transform into qualified soldiers." After saying this, Yang Lin pointed down the mountain and said, "See those recruits at the foot of the mountain? They are all our independent soldiers." The battalion has just been recruited in the past few days, and they have only touched guns a few times, and they have no combat experience. The main purpose of bringing them here this time is to let them see the world and see what a real war is.

The little devils are getting more and more rampant, and there is not much time left for us, so my independent battalion must develop and grow as soon as possible. Only in this way can we eliminate more little devils!
Turn the tide and help the building to collapse! "

"But……"

Hou Meng wanted to add that he wanted to apply for a combat mission for the reconnaissance company, but Yang Lin raised his hand and interrupted him before he could speak: "There is nothing but this is an order, execute it immediately!
You should be more aware of the terrain around here than I am, take them to a suitable 'viewing' location, and be careful not to be discovered by the little devils! "

"Yes!"

Seeing what Yang Lin said was categorical and there was no room for negotiation, Hou Meng could only accept the order and leave.

At this time, Zhao Yuting hurried over, stood up and saluted Yang Lin and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the artillery position has been established, please give instructions!"

Yang Lin nodded and said, "I'll leave the task of observing the hands to you!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yuting promised, and then ran down the mountain.

Soon, he turned back with the artillery mirror in his arms, and beside him was a signal soldier who was pulling the line.

In order to observe the enemy's situation, observers often need to come to a high point with a wide field of vision. In order to avoid being directly exposed to the enemy's field of vision, artillery positions will choose some hidden positions, even a few kilometers away from the main battlefield. .

At this time, if the observer wants to feed back the data he observed, he needs to make a phone call.

For example, when fighting in some plain areas or at sea, because there is no suitable commanding height for observation, the Japanese army often raises sounding balloons and let the observers stand in a hanging basket several hundred meters above the ground to observe condescendingly.

Even directly dispatch the plane to provide fire guidance for the artillery on the ground.

……

"Hey, hello!"

Zhao Yuting picked up the phone and yelled twice. After hearing the reply from the other end of the phone, after confirming that there was no problem with the connection, he picked up the artillery mirror and began to measure seriously.

After a while, Zhao Yuting stretched out his hand, and the communication soldier next to him understood, and immediately handed over the phone.

"Target 1253 meters, direction 3 degrees north-northeast, wind speed 9, wind direction north-northwest! Repeat, target 1253 meters, direction 3 degrees north-northeast, wind speed 9, wind direction north-northwest! A test shot!"

After reporting the parameters, Zhao Yuting began to observe carefully again.

A few seconds later, there was a light 'bang' from the Shanxi artillery position, and then, a long scream whizzed past his head.

The next moment, a burst of flame suddenly burst into the field of vision of the artillery team mirror, rolling up dust all over the sky.

It's a pity that the artillery shells only fell on the edge of the Devil's artillery position, only killing two ammunition workers who carried the shells, and did not destroy a single artillery.

Battalion Commander Yang Lin was watching from the side, Zhao Yuting couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and punched heavily on the tree trunk beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuting directly grabbed the microphone and yelled loudly: "Damn it, the shot is crooked, and the shooting angle should be lowered by one scale, then moved to the right by one and a half scales, and shoot directly!"

A moment later, the screaming sound that flew across the sky changed from the previous one to the current one.

In the field of vision, the devil artillery position locked by Zhao Yuting's eyes was directly blown into a sea of ​​flames.

Two of the shells seemed to have landed on the devil's ammunition box, causing the shells to explode, making two more deafening explosions.

In the light of the flames, Zhao Yuting could clearly see that many of the little devil's mortars were blown apart, and various parts were scattered everywhere along with the shock waves generated by the explosion.

The devil artillery on the position was blown to pieces, killing and injuring a large number of people.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuting finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Lin beside him also nodded approvingly.

Zhao Yuting is indeed a talent to be made. In just one or two months, the group of recruits in the artillery company is already comparable to, or even surpassed by, the little devil's artillery.

Although there is Yang Lin's shell support regardless of the cost, Zhao Yuting's training and command ability is also indelible.

"Second salvo, continue!"

Soon, the independent battalion artillery conducted a second and third round of salvo.

This time, although the independent battalion artillery company did not carry field artillery and infantry artillery, it only carried 12 60mm caliber mortars and 8 90mm caliber mortars.

But the lethality of the artillery company cannot be underestimated.

Especially for 90mm caliber mortars, the killing radius of its shell explosion can reach more than 20 meters.

The arrogant devil artillery didn't dig a bomb shelter in the position, so many shells fell one after another, the little devils in the attack area had no possibility of escaping.

After the first salvo, the Devil's artillery team lost the ability to fight back.
