608. The duel between the cannons

Luckily, in the telescope, the commander of the company saw at least three or four shells hitting the artillery of the devils and overturning several mortars.

"Withdraw!"

The commander of the first battalion's machine gun company, with a slightly excited accent, pulled his throat and shouted the next order. The four-gun artillerymen hurriedly picked up the mortars and moved their positions.

Now it's the turn of the devil mortar captain to go crazy, the devil is very unhappy with the Chinese army's way of playing, and he always doesn't expose his firepower first, and is beaten for a while.

Then, then he suddenly got up, jumped up and bit a few bites, it's really unpleasant, there is a kind of you just pull out of the formation, and do a good job with real knives and guns, big brother.

I'll go, if the Chinese army has the equipment of the Japanese army, will it still be beaten with such grievances? Do you think that the Chinese army is a masochist, who is unwilling to open up a battle with you, but their weapons and equipment are poor, so they can only fight passively like this.

But no matter what, as long as the enemy can be killed, the tricks are secondary, whether active or passive, and it is normal for the Chinese army to move its position after firing a few shots and a few artillery shots in desperation.

The devil's mortar has a lot of artillery, and now he is chasing the four guns of the first battalion, and it is difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists, and after a few rounds, two guns have been blown up.

Now the commander of the machine gun company is so distressed that he is about to hang himself, and he can't wait to rush to the mortar array of devils with a knife and slaughter those damn devil gunners with his own hands.

But there's no need to rush, when all the guns and machine guns in the machine gun company are gone, you can only act as an infantryman, take the gun and do it with the devil, and then you will have the opportunity to do it.

Seeing that the little brother was bullied like this, the artillery company of the 1085th Regiment also opened fire at this moment, although it was also a mortar, and there were not many of them, only eight of them, but they were better than the geographical location.

The artillery company of the regiment set up the artillery array on the halfway of Yuwang Mountain, condescending, although the mortar is a curved artillery, but from the bottom to the top of the attack, the range of the shells is inevitably not so far from the top down.

Therefore, the eight mortars of the regiment's artillery company measured the distance and data, and fired several rounds in a row, causing the devil's mortar array to spark and many mortars to be blown away.

Didn't you say that you had to pull out the formation? Now the 1085th regimental artillery company will give you this opportunity to the little devil, come on, come and fight, the mortars of the regimental artillery company are very arrogant and do not shift their positions, and they are shooting at the devils.

There were also a few devil cannons who were not convinced and stubbornly counterattacked, but what was frustrating was that after the shells were fired at large elevation angles, they hit high and floating, and the accuracy was very poor.

As a smoothbore gun that is not rifled, the accuracy of the mortar has been criticized, but it is better than being light and easy to carry, and it is deeply loved by infantry.

That is, the Japanese army is so rare mortars, like heavy artillery and aircraft, in the Chinese army, if a battalion has a few mortars, the whole battalion will be killed.

Now, the devil's mortar still doesn't run away, and dares to shoot at the 1085 regimental artillery company on the mountain, which is simply sending him to death.

Maybe it's the proud devil artilleryman who can't accept the reality of being beaten, especially when he is beaten by the soldiers who have always looked down on him, and his heart is even more unbalanced.

But no matter how human psychology is, it can't replace the gap in strength, just like the Chinese soldiers are indignant and hateful, but in the face of the super-powerful Japanese army, they have to be very cautious and careful.

Therefore, seeing that the devil's mortar did not withdraw, the regiment's subordinate artillery company was not polite, and the shells went down, smashing the devil's mortar array to pieces, and a mortar squad was wiped out in this way.

Originally, there was a chance to evacuate and escape, but because the devil's psychology couldn't accept the reality, they were all destroyed, and the devil's mortar squad leader sat on the ground in despair and aggrieved, took out a command knife, inserted it into his abdomen, and committed suicide by caesarean section.

With the deepening of the war, the intensity of the battle is gradually escalating, and the Chinese and Japanese sides are like gods fighting treasures, you and I take out the treasures one by one and fight each other.

When the devil saw that the mortar was not working, he immediately transferred the infantry artillery, the infantry artillery, which was known as the king of infantry on the battlefield, and was known for its ease of carrying and strong firepower.

With each new weapon, the tactics on the battlefield were changed, and to be honest, the appearance of infantry artillery changed a large number of infantry tactics, including fortifications, the distance between positions, etc.

In the past, when infantry was building fortifications, bunkers and bunkers could be built with civil structures, but the power of infantry shells changed the standard of construction.

Not to mention the bunkers of civil engineering structures, which are bunkers made of steel and concrete, are unbearable when they encounter infantry guns approaching and firing wildly.

The firing distance of infantry guns can be far or close, high or low, which really gives the infantry a headache, and almost all ordinary civil and engineering bunkers are vulnerable in front of it, not to mention the general machine gun fire points.

The use of artillery as guns and even bayonets has greatly enriched the new tactics of infantry and artillery coordination, and in terms of how to defend against artillery, a large number of infantry have to rack their brains to change various methods.

The devil brought an artillery wing this time, no matter how much infantry artillery is a problem, not to mention the configuration of the infantry brigade, there are infantry artillery, and the devil who attacked Yuwang Mountain is far more than a devil's brigade, and now it seems that it is at least at the level of the infantry wing or above.

Under a small Yuwang Mountain, so many troops were cast, and the devil also took a fancy to the strategic position of Yuwang Mountain, perhaps earlier than the Chinese army, otherwise he would not have attacked Yuwang Mountain so single-handedly and stubbornly.

One move failed, and another move was made, and the devil's infantry artillery began to pull over, and in order to avoid being hit by the mortars of the Chinese army, the position of the infantry artillery was pushed back by a distance of more than 1,000 meters.

This is embarrassing, although the maximum range of a light mortar can reach more than a thousand meters, but that is only the literal distance on the manual.

The real effective strike range should be discounted, generally only five or six hundred meters, many shooters can hit a distance of nearly a thousand meters, but that is also the limit distance that can hit the target.

The devil's 92 rifle is different, the maximum firing range can reach 2,000 meters, and the effective firing range is also about 1,000 meters, and there is a big difference between the rifle gun and the mortar is that the rifle cannon is rifled.

The shells of rifled guns are in the breech, and under the influence of rifling, they rotate at high speed and rush out of the muzzle, and they also rotate at high speed in the air, so that the shells can always maintain the original track and move forward.

The smoothbore gun can't do this, so the 92-step gun is much more accurate than the mortar in terms of accuracy.

In cold weapons, there is a saying that one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the same is true for the cannons of hot weapons, the range of the cannonball is similar to the length of the weapon, and the range of the 92-step gun is greater than that of the mortar, and the accuracy is also high, so the mortar is compared at once.

Infantry guns, which can be shaken to more than 70 degrees in elevation, are also easy for hitting fire points on the mountain.

Now as soon as the devil's infantry cannon sounds, there will be no matter of the artillery company of the 1085th Regiment, people can beat you, but you can't reach others, which is an extremely painful thing for artillery.

It can only be withdrawn, and six of the eight guns were withdrawn in a panic, which can be regarded as rescuing six guns, otherwise it would be a little later, and the whole army would be wiped out.
