Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 166

Time went back to 5 minutes ago, at the moment Asakawa Masao began to shout on the radio, Wang Chengzhu led the artillery company to prepare for the battle.

As long as the head of the team gives an order, those soldiers who have been waiting for a long time will pour out their anger on the enemy in the shortest time.

As a curved-firing weapon, mortar positions are usually set up in positions with natural shelters.

The foothold of the New Second Regiment can be said to be a good forward observation post, but once it fires at the airport, there is a high probability that the devils can easily find this artillery position.

Considering that after the battle started, the speed of the enemy's counterattack must not be slow.

Wang Chengzhu did not line up seven mortars in a random place like in later film and television dramas.

Instead, with the permission of the head of the team, a shooting hole was dug 15 meters in front of the foothold yesterday morning, and concealed.

The prerequisite for building this kind of position is that there are no trees or shelters above it. This is already the most stable play that the pillar can think of at present.

The seven 7mm mortars of the New Second Regiment are all arranged in seven oval shooting pits with a size of 82X240cm.

Building positions in this way can not only achieve 360-degree shooting, but also more or less play a concealed role.

There is a small trench on both sides of the shooting pit that can accommodate a soldier. Although it is not sure how strong the enemy's counterattack is, it is always right to protect the precious artillery group.

Wang Chengzhu, the son of emptiness who firmly believes that only by being alive can he have output, and asked the soldiers to build a 25 cm parapet.

Behind the mortar, is a passage reinforced with vertical planks.This trench, which can accommodate two people walking side by side at the same time, leads to the ammunition storage point.

There are neatly stacked ammunition boxes stacked like mahjong tiles.

In order to bring these 3.8 kg shells to the periphery of the airport, the soldiers of the third battalion suffered a lot.

Because the recoil force of the mortar fire will hammer the bottom plate into the sand, the soldiers also thoughtfully put the cover of the ammunition box under the base.

It can be said that everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed!

At this time, our leader Li climbed up a tree and stared at the brightly lit airport ahead with a telescope.

Patience is a must-have quality for a hunter. As a combat-experienced commander, he is waiting for the enemy to reveal a fatal flaw.

When the devils loaded all the aerial bombs and machine gun bullets, and began to refuel the Type [-] fighter.Li Yunlong on the branch shouted to the artillery position diagonally below:
"Pillar! Get ready! The opportunity is coming!"

After hearing the order, Wang Chengzhu nodded.The first round of shelling is the most important. Not only is the enemy unprepared at this point in time, but the fighter jets have not yet driven to the runway one after another.

Even the ground crew didn't get off the tarmac in time, and the jet fuel cans on their carts were a good thing.

Once these flammable and explosive items can be hit or involved, a chain explosion will occur on the entire tarmac, unlocking the achievements of all acquaintances.

It is worth mentioning that the devil's airport has no walls.At the same time as the first round of shelling, Wang Chengzhu could adjust the parameters of the mortar in time according to the impact point of the shells.

But it doesn't matter if you can't shoot accurately.

If the technology and precision are not enough, then use the quantity to pile up the enemies.Under the cover of gunfire, all living beings are equal.

"Pay attention to the artillery! Check the elements and prepare to shoot! We can't take any of these shells away, otherwise they will become our burden when we retreat!"

"In the first round, you need to shoot rapidly for 1 minute. The more shells you shoot, the better!"

"Don't stop until you see my flag!"

In Wang Chengzhu's commanding voice, all the soldiers of the artillery company were excited, and everyone seemed to have a burning fire in their hearts.

The main reason is that such an enjoyable style of play, no one had even thought about it before.

The artillerymen who can participate in this mission are all veterans who have passed the screening.

These fighters with more than three years of combat experience have survived the most difficult days, and almost engraved the word thrift in their bones.

When fighting devils, I can't wait to split a cannonball in half.When you kill a certain firepower point of the enemy, you have to regret for a long time if you didn't kill a few infantrymen by the way.

It is because of the poor shell reserves in the past that the artillerymen pursue single-shot accuracy. How can there be such a concept as artillery coverage.

This time, there is no need to think about it so much. The shooting parameters are all calculated by the company commander in advance, and everyone only needs to fire the gun mechanically.

When Li Yunlong saw that the devil's ground crew had finished all preparations, he slid down from the tree and shouted to the soldiers below:

"Third Battalion Commander! Cut off the power!"

"Quick! Fire!"

Under the fiery eyes of the soldiers of the artillery company, Wang Chengzhu waved down the flag in his hand vigorously, and at the same time picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck to observe.

"put!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the artillery company let go of their hands like a conditioned reflex, allowing the shells hanging above the barrel to slide to the bottom.

After letting go, the shell fell into the chamber, and the gunners bowed their heads sideways and covered their ears for the first time.

In the dark night, a puff of blue smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and a little flame burst out, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose around the gun mount.

Boom x 7!

Because the initial velocity of the shells was only more than 400 meters per second, the shells of this round were still in the air and did not fall, so Wang Chengzhu could not see the landing point.

But this time the tactic was artillery cover, and he continued to wave the flag on the side of the artillery position, signaling to the soldiers not to stop their movements.

The artillery veterans did not live up to the trust of the company commander, and the gunners continued to take the shells handed over by the ammunition hand.

The movements are so proficient that even a layman can scream well when they see them.

In the trench behind, there are still several ammunitionists running back and forth.A gun group is served by five ammunition hands in turn, sending a steady stream of shells to the position like an assembly line.

The theoretical rate of fire of the 82mm mortar is [-] rounds per minute, but the full rate of fire does not last long, depending on the material of the barrel.

The artillery group of the New Second Regiment can maintain about 17 rounds per minute. In just 1 minute, 119 rounds of 3.8 kg shells flew towards the devil's airport one after another.

--------

In this era, no matter which country pilots like to go out at night, after all, weather is the most important factor in air combat.

However, with air supremacy, the army aviation devils can barely do something at night.

After all, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Guofu Army, they don't even have large-scale air defense weapons.

Such a comfortable combat environment made Xiaotian gradually turn into a mindless paramecium licking the ground, without even the least respect for the ground staff.

At the airport, a few devils in summer one-piece flight suits were denouncing the ground staff. They asked the other party to prepare the next wave of 7.7mm machine gun bullets.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka asked the 29th Independent Flying Team to put safety first and not to do too radical things.

But obviously, these devils who have long forgotten that bombers are offensive weapons and fighter jets are only defensive and tactical support don't care whether the enemy can threaten them.

After all, previous combat experience told them that the chance of being shot down by machine guns is very small.The crash of Akiyama Haruta was like a joke in their eyes.

Suddenly, Asakawa Masaaki missed a beat in his heartbeat, giving birth to an ominous premonition.This feeling is like being bitten by that I-16 back then.

The Major Lu Hang suppressed his uneasiness and looked up at the sky.Facts have proved that the intuition will be very sharp after staying on the battlefield for a long time.

While he was still trying to analyze the flash of panic, all the searchlights and lights at the airport went out, and a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from afar.

At this time, no one thought that the airport would be attacked. After all, the airport was near Taiyuan.No matter how daring the enemy is, it is impossible to go to the territory of the First Army Headquarters to act wildly.

"Did you hear anything?"

After hearing what their captain said, the devils stopped abusing the power system, and all became quiet and began to listen to the sudden voice.

The flying speed of the Min-20 82mm mortar shell is lower than the speed of sound. If the target is at the maximum range, there is often a reaction time of about two seconds.

When the devils just realized what was about to happen, the shells in the sky had already landed on the area of ​​the tarmac.

"Mortar!!"

There is no need to say anything more than just three words, and all the little days are moving.

The pilots ran towards their fighter jets relying on the faint illumination of the moonlight, while the ground crew rushed towards the underground bunker with their trolleys.

It's a pity that their speed is too slow, even if they grow two more legs, it's not enough.

Originally, the first wave of 7 mortar shells had to fail.

But sometimes a good fight is not as good as a good catch. On the way to evacuate, a ground crew ran to a place only two meters away from the landing point.

Even more coincidentally, there was still half a bucket of unused aviation fuel on his trolley.

Nearly dozens of kilograms of oil was detonated instantly, and exploded into a beautiful fireball near the tarmac, which perfectly proved that explosion is art.

First blood appears!

When the devils were about to approach their fighter jets by the firelight, the second and third waves of shelling brought justice one after another, and the sound of explosions, gunpowder smoke and wailing once again filled the entire airport.

The cannonball that symbolizes death will not let someone go because of their status.

Whether it is the ground crew or the pilot, in front of the shrapnel, it is like paper, and they will die when they touch it.

A few shells even hit the oil depot, and the noise was so loud that the residents of Taiyuan City could hear it.Fortunately, the devil's ammunition depot was built underground, otherwise the entire airport would have been ruined.

The enemy's reaction was quite quick. Half a minute after the power outage, the Devil Major who was in charge of guarding the airport rushed out of his lounge.

Looking at the Type [-] fighters struggling in the flames, Fujimoto Tsuyoshi's legs went limp and he almost couldn't stand still, feeling like the sky was about to collapse.

He grabbed a running soldier and told everyone to gather!

At this moment, a squadron leader ran over and kept shouting on the way:
"Major! We have been shelled by an unknown enemy!"

Looking at the useless subordinates in front of him, Fujimoto Tsuyoshi only felt that he was going to die of anger.The devil kicked the opponent in the stomach and roared angrily.

"I'm not blind! Find the enemy's position quickly! The mortar can't hit far! Search for me quickly!"

As soon as the words were finished, a shell accurately hit a fighter jet that was preparing to take off, and the fully loaded fuel tank and all the weapons released huge energy.

Even other planes on the runway were affected, and the two closest ones were swallowed by the explosion.

Since the destruction of Yangmingbao Airport, the devil's defense force at the airport has been continuously upgraded. The current three squadrons are infantry drawn from the 33rd Division.

Although the shooting pit arranged by Wang Chengzhu briefly blinded the enemy's eyes.However, after careful observation by the devils on the sentry post, the location of the artillery company of the New Second Regiment was still exposed.

After receiving the information, Fujimoto Takeshi did not set off immediately because he was waiting for all the soldiers to gather.

In Jin Province, the enemy who can launch an attack of this intensity is either the Jinsui Army or the Central Army.The latter are all huddled in the Zhongtiao Mountain area at this time, and the enemy they will face must be the Jinsui Army.

Eighth Route Army?Sorry, even if they are rich, it is impossible for them to be so wasteful, and it is not considered at all.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the airport that was being shelled.

The dense shells seem to be free of money. The interval between one wave and one wave does not exceed ten seconds, and at least more than 1 shells are fired in just one minute.

Although he did not participate in the Xinkou Battle that year, it is well known that the Jinsui Army's rifles are strong in close combat.If it weren't for their insufficient air force, the eight artillery regiments would definitely cause a lot of damage to the younger country.

The Jinsui army had planned to attack the airport for a long time, and there must be many enemies on the opposite side.If you rush out before gathering all the troops, wouldn't it be a refueling tactic!
Looking at the soldiers of the three squadrons, they began to gather quickly under the leadership of the squadron leader.Takeshi Fujimoto took a deep breath, ready to order everyone to attack together.

The airport has been blown up badly, just what he saw, 7 fighter jets were destroyed by the enemy.Moreover, the remaining four planes are also riddled with holes, and whether they can be repaired is a question mark.

The runway and apron are no different from being scrapped. If these attackers cannot be eliminated, their own commander will definitely not let him go.

"Leave a small team! After the enemy's shelling is over, cooperate with the ground crew to rescue the scene."

"Let the rest of us charge! If any enemy escapes, none of us will live to see the sun tomorrow!"

After all the orders were issued, Fujimoto Tsuyoshi immediately got into the communication room.

Since the airport is not far from Taiyuan, cutting off the telephone line would be a warning to the enemy, so this devil can still contact the garrison in Taiyuan city.

In this case, the loss has already occurred.If you don't report it in time, you will be courting death.

"The airport was attacked by the Jinsui army! They have artillery! There are a lot of heavy artillery! We need support!"

"The enemy has at least 2000 people!"

　In fact, it should be Jin Yanjun. After all, Qilu has been doing it alone for 38 years.
