Chapter 908: Artillery Support
The cheetah commando team led by Lei Yunfeng was at the foot of Yaowangtai Mountain, and heard the continuous sound of fierce gunfire on the slope of the right flank, not only said to Fang Shichao: "Ah Chao, immediately settle the four earth armored vehicles you modified at the foot of Yaowangtai Mountain."
Fang Shichao turned to leave, quickly drove the modified earth armored car to him, jumped out of the car and rushed to Lei Yunfeng and asked eagerly: "Boss, will you use the earth armored car to fire at the Japanese army occupying my Yaowangtai position now?" ”
"You take a good look at the terrain, is there any problem."
"Report to the boss, the earth armored vehicle is too close to Yaowangtai and the elevation angle is too large, and under such unfavorable conditions, it is difficult to ensure that the mortar can accurately land on the Japanese artillery position, that is to say, it is difficult to destroy the Yaowangtai position occupied by the Japanese army with artillery fire."
"What I want is specific data, not 'difficult' or 'even', I will do it immediately and solve the problem immediately."
"Yes." Fang Shichao turned around and jumped onto the nearest earthen armored car, and ordered the artillerymen to quickly remove the protective iron plates on three sides of the earthen armored vehicle, at this time, each earthen armored vehicle exposed two mortars and a heavy machine gun.
Fang Shichao instructed the artillery to quickly adjust the gun position, and after a period of testing, the gunner shouted in embarrassment: "Deputy Regiment Commander Fang, the artillery fire strikes the designated target of Yaowangtai too close, and the elevation angle of the mortar is too large. ”
At this time, Lei Yunfeng jumped into the earth armored car, looked at Fang Shichao and asked, "Ah Chao, what do you think of fiddling with it for a while?" ”
"Boss, the gunner is right, too close to the Yaowangtai position, the elevation angle is too large, once the artillery is fired, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the shells to fall on the designated target, and once it falls in front of the position we occupy, it will explode, it will bring a devastating blow."
"In any case, you, an expert who has studied artillery technology in Germany, must send the artillery fire from the earthen armored vehicles to the Japanese artillery positions and infantry positions in Yaowangtai, fire against the Japanese army, and cover the 1st Battalion of the 102nd Regiment Deputy Commander Wang to launch an attack."
Hearing such an unreasonable order from Lei Yunfeng, Fang Shichao nervously locked his brows and pondered for a minute, then suddenly squatted down to disassemble a mortar, and ordered the gunners beside him: "Dismantle all the eight mortars on the four earth armored vehicles and transfer them to the high slope thirty-five meters behind you, the speed should be fast." ”
Lei Yunfeng listened to Fang Shichao's order to dismantle the mortar, and ordered in a stern tone to transfer the dismantled mortar to the high slope thirty-five meters behind him, and immediately understood Fang Shichao's purpose in doing so.
In order to exert artillery fire as soon as possible to attack the Japanese position on Yaowangtai, Lei Yunfeng ordered Li Guiyong: "Captain Li, order the Cheetah Commando to assist Ah Chao in quickly transferring the eight mortars to the high slope behind him. ”
After everyone's efforts, eight mortars were transferred to the designated position in less than 20 minutes, and Fang Shichao quickly adjusted one mortar according to the position of the Japanese artillery position and infantry position that occupied Yaowangtai provided by Lei Yunfeng.
The three Cheetah commandos who had carried out the lookout mission on a hillside not far from the opposite side of Yaowangtai and a large tree in advance immediately issued a flag to the soldiers in charge of receiving the news according to the coordinates of the enemy's position they had observed.
The flag soldier receives the flag and communicates the received technical parameters loudly.
Fang Shichao compared the parameters of the Japanese army's Yaowangtai position reported by the flag he received and the relevant information provided to him by Lei Yunfeng, and while repeatedly checking, he quickly adjusted the gun position, and when he thought that the adjustment was in place, he personally stuffed a shell into the gun chamber.
As the shell came out of its chamber, a shell broke through the air and landed on the Japanese position in Yaowangtai with a sharp roar.
Wang Shoucheng, who led two banner-language soldiers to observe the movement of the Japanese artillery position, found that the explosion range of the shells that fell on the Japanese position in Yaowangtai was seriously deviated, and not only quickly issued a correction to the parameters of the artillery fire hitting the target.
Fang Shichao slowly but nervously corrected the mortar position according to the parameters provided to correct the artillery target, and when he felt that the correction effect reached the requirements, he picked up a shell again and stuffed it into the barrel, and with the explosion of the shell flying out and falling on the Japanese position, he obtained the flag sent by Wang Shoucheng, and the artillery fire hit the Japanese artillery position.
Lei Yunfeng did not wait for Wang Shoucheng to use the flag to issue artillery fire correction parameters again, and ordered Fang Shichao to correct the parameters of the other seven mortars as quickly as possible according to the order he issued, and destroy the Japanese artillery positions with the most fierce artillery fire.
The mortar, with the parameters corrected, flew out of the barrel almost at the same time, wrapped in a sharp whistling and flew towards the Japanese artillery position in Yaowangtai, with a violent explosion, the Japanese artillery squadron position exploded in a row, and the Japanese artillery position was destroyed almost in a short time.
The commander of the Japanese artillery squadron, Okabe Esubo, was directing the artillery to use artillery fire aimlessly, and Wang Jinglun, deputy commander of the 102nd Regiment who was bombarding and attacking, led the attack organized by the 1st Battalion.
Squadron Leader Noda, who was organizing devil fire to block the attack of the 1st Battalion, heard the continuous explosion of the artillery position behind him, and not only turned to look at the artillery position that caused the explosion to cause gunpowder smoke and flames to rise into the air.
"Bastard, why did the shell explode, this bastard Okabe Zhio is really more than successful."
Squadron Leader Noda, a junior commander with very rich combat experience, when he found out again that the explosion in the artillery position was caused by the artillery fire that flew from the bottom of Yaowangtai Mountain, he not only shouted in horror: "Bastard, how can the artillery fire of the Chinese army exert the power of artillery fire at the bottom of the mountain, quickly find the target, and must destroy the artillery position of the Chinese army." ”
Wang Jinglun, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion of the 102nd Regiment, heard the sudden sound of a violent explosion on Yaowangtai, and found the smoke and flames rising in the air, and immediately realized that this must be Lei Yunfeng using artillery fire to cover their most fierce attack on Yaowangtai.
Deputy Regiment Commander Wang brandished his pistol and shouted: "Guanzhong Lengwa brothers, the friendly forces are using artillery fire to support us, and now the devils who are stuck in Yaowangtai have been hit hard by artillery fire, we must move forward bravely and recapture our lost Yaowangtai position." ”
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion listened to the order of Deputy Commander Wang to launch the most fierce attack on the Japanese position in Yaowangtai and regain the lost position.
The soldiers who rushed in front were shot and fell, and the soldiers behind did not have time to look at the heroic brothers at their feet, and shouted and rushed to the Japanese position of Yaowangtai with bloody tears, and their only hope was to recapture the Yaowangtai position even if they died under the enemy's guns.
Lei Yunfeng heard the gunfire of the Japanese position attacking Yaowangtai on the right flank becoming more and more intense, and he could be sure that he was rapidly advancing towards the enemy's position by following the sound.
He decisively ordered Fang Shichao: "Ah Chao, immediately provide the direction of the Noda squadron's position according to the flag sent by Wang Shoucheng, and give me a cannon to completely destroy it."
Eight mortars fired several shells again, roaring down on the Japanese Yaowangtai position, the shells exploded and killed and injured a large number of little devils, and the leader of Squadron Noda, who commanded the operation, was blown to the ground, and the Japanese army lost its commander for a while.
