Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lu Xinghua said helplessly: "New weapon? What new weapon? Could it allow us to take down the position in front of us without a single soldier?"

The operator said: "What new weapon did the commander not say, why don't you ask it yourself?"

Lu Xinghua said: "Okay, give me the microphone."

The operator handed over the microphone, only to hear Xiao Yingwu say in the microphone: "Is your attack not going well?"

Lu Xinghua asked in surprise: "Master, how did you know?"

Xiao Yingwu smiled and said: "It was Lin Shuai who said it. He analyzed the terrain of the front line from the rear and found that there are many shooting dead spots in the mountainous area. Our firepower advantage cannot be brought into play, so he sent you the latest fire support weapons! "

Lu Xinghua hurriedly asked, "What weapon?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "240mm mortar!"

Lu Xinghua exclaimed: "What is the caliber? 240mm? How big is it?"

Xiao Yingwu smiled and said, "I'm not wrong, and you're not wrong, it's 240mm, and it's done by yourself!"

Lu Xinghua asked in surprise: "240mm self-propelled mortar? Our 155mm howitzer is too heavy to be put on the self-propelled site. How can the 240mm artillery be able to?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "The barrel of the mortar is much shorter than that of the howitzer. It is lighter because it is shorter. Once the barrel is light, the height machine, steering machine and cradle that adjust the barrel pointing can all become very light; and When the mortar is fired, the muzzle is upward, and the recoil is directly borne by the ground, so there is no need for a heavy hoe and a huge recoil machine on the howitzer. Did you know that the recoil machine is full of It's full of refill fluid and it's pretty heavy."

Lu Xinghua said: "It turns out that it is best to have mortars, do you know that the Japanese army's barracks are behind the mountain, and the Japanese army also hid behind the mountain when we fired. Our tank guns have a straight trajectory. With the cannon, the shells can’t hit them alive, but now with the mortar with a curved trajectory, the shells can go directly over the mountain and land on the top of the enemy’s head!”

Xiao Yingwu said: "That's right, this kind of mortar has already crossed the river, and you can get it in your hands after three hours."

Lu Xinghua said: "That's great." So Lu Xinghua ordered: "All troops rest in place and prepare for the next wave of attack."

An hour later, the ammunition delivery vehicle arrived and delivered the shells to the tank troops. The tank almost wiped out the grenades after a night of fighting, and the rest were armor-piercing bullets. good.

Lin Yuan's troops rested and replenished ammunition, but the Japanese troops on the mountain were extremely excited. They blocked the attack of Lin Yuan's troops and killed nearly 200 soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops. Although they themselves paid the price of more than [-] dead, But they still think they have achieved a great big victory.

The Japanese soldiers took out cigarettes and alcohol, distributed them in the trenches, and used officers to distribute paper and pens to everyone, so that everyone could use their brains to write insulting words and pictures insulting the Chinese, and then stuffed them into propaganda bombs. They didn't know that they were like grasshoppers after autumn - they won't be jumping for long.

At around twelve noon, ten 240mm self-propelled mortars arrived at Lu Xinghua's position. This type of self-propelled mortar was designed by Lin Yuan with reference to the Russian 2s4 self-propelled mortar of his era. He never thought about designing such a large mortar, because he felt that the existing howitzers were enough, but now it was fighting in the mountains, and mortars with curved ballistics were needed to cover the blind spots of the howitzers.

So this type of 240mm mortar was produced and transported to the front line. After receiving these mortars, Lu Xinghua immediately let them enter the firing position, and then ordered the tanks to attack the Japanese positions first.

As soon as the tank shells landed on the Japanese position, the Japanese army snickered disdainfully and said, "Why are the Chinese people so stupid? They fired shells even though they knew they couldn't hit us!"

The other laughed and said, "What do you know? The Chinese people are called perseverance. They want to blow up the mountain with shells. Haven't you heard the story of the Chinese people's foolish old man moving mountains?"

The Japanese army retreated to the back of the mountain while laughing at "the Chinese people are too stupid". At this moment, the 240mm mortar fired!

The rear of the 240mm mortar has a huge seat plate. This seat plate is used to bear the recoil of the shell against the ground. The recoil force of the 240mm mortar is too large to be borne by the vehicle body.When the launch preparation command is issued, the launcher manipulates the control system, puts the mortar seat on the ground, and then adjusts the launch angle. After the adjustment is completed, the gun barrel is returned to the horizontal position again, and the shells are loaded. Go in, and then erect the barrel.

When the gun barrel was erected to its original position, the shooter pressed the firing button, and the shell made a shrill howl, flew to the back of the Japanese mountain, and exploded right in the middle of the two trenches of the Japanese army. A single mortar shell weighed 150 cm. kg, which is filled with more than 30 kilograms of explosives. Not only that, the shell warhead also uses prefabricated fragments. One shell explosion can produce more than 3000 pieces of killing fragments!

After the shell exploded, fragments flew into the crowd of the Japanese army, and even the people closest to the explosion site were blown up by the fragments. The other Japanese soldiers were all horrified, thinking: "How could the Chinese shells hit us all of a sudden?" ?”

The Japanese soldiers were extremely surprised. At this time, the mortar fired again, and the shells directly blasted into the Japanese barracks. Several tents were blown to pieces in an instant, and more shells fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers in the trenches. On the ground, the Japanese army suddenly littered the field with corpses, causing countless casualties.

The mortar fired nearly [-] shells, and Lu Xinghua thought in his heart: "The little devil should have been blown up." So he ordered: "The infantry is dispatched!"

Zhou Kai led the infantry to wait impatiently for a long time. He heard the order and immediately rushed to the Japanese trenches. During the period, he encountered no obstacles. He wanted to resist, but was shot by Lin Yuan's troops indiscriminately, and all of them were killed. Lin Yuan's troops immediately captured the [-] highland.

The news of the capture of the 81 Highland was quickly reported to Lin Yuan. After hearing this, Lin Yuan was so excited that he slapped the table, thinking: "The victory in the first battle is really a good start for the future battles! And the capture of the [-] Highland , can be condescending and attack the follow-up positions of the Japanese army." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately asked Xiao Yingwu: "How is the range of your [-]mm mortars? Can it hit the follow-up highlands of the Japanese army?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "I just asked the artillery unit, and the answer they gave was yes."

Lin Yuan said: "That's good, you can continue to attack the follow-up positions of the Japanese army. I will equip you with a batch of long ammunition. This kind of shell has a relatively long body and a relatively large loading coefficient. The loading coefficient is the charge of the warhead. The mass accounts for the mass of the whole bomb, so this kind of shell contains more explosives and is more lethal. Before launching an attack, bombard the Japanese army for a while!"
