1144. Asymmetrical Attack of Mutual Shelling
The 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army can now only use the 92 heavy machine of the machine gun squadron to suppress the riflemen on the position of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion.
Now that the firepower and strength of the Japanese army have been redeployed, the density of bullets is much higher, and it can be regarded as being able to suppress the excellent shooters of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of Wutouling.
But soon the Japanese army found out that their wishful thinking was wrong, and they originally wanted to spy on the opponent's firepower, but they exposed all their firepower.
After this exposure, the mortar platoon of the seventh company was given the opportunity, and the company commander Wu Dingli discharged this small cannon on the anticline of the headless ridge, that is, a little back from the top of the mountain.
Wang Xinjia, platoon commander of the small artillery platoon, has won the mantle of bamboo poles after half a year of intensive artillery training, and has played mortars very slippery.
In fact, people's IQs are about the same, but reading is very important, Wang Xinjia came from a military school, his knowledge structure and learning ability are a step higher, and he can learn to shoot guns very quickly.
Another point, compared with ordinary troops, is that the ammunition reserves of the 74th Army are now very abundant, and during training in peacetime, bullets and shells are no longer as sharp as before.
Wang Xinjia and the others learned to shoot mortars, and almost every person had to fire at least 10 shells a day, even if it was some shells in stock, but they were real shells.
After this kind of practical operation, the gunner has obviously improved rapidly in technology and feeling, and Wang Xinjia is such a gunner who is fed by shells.
On the anticline of the hill of Wutouling, Wang Xinjia at this moment personally operated one cannon, and the other cannon was operated by the deputy platoon leader.
Wang Xinjia fired the cannon first, and first fired a correction bullet, which almost hit a Japanese 92 heavy plane, which exploded on the side, and the shock wave or air wave generated blew the fart curtain of the devil machine gunner into the air.
Wang Xinjia was confident that he could hit the heavy machine gun at a distance, so he chose to hit the 92 heavy machine at a distance of 500 meters, and those crooked light machine guns at the edge of 400 meters did not enter his eyes.
The farther away, the more difficult it was to hit accurately, but Wang Xinjia still had to fight, and the second shot was immediately replaced with high-explosive shells, and this time the cannon passed, but it still didn't hit, but this time it was closer to the Japanese heavy machine gun position, and the fragments had already begun to hurt one of the ammunition soldiers.
Wang Xinjia shook his head angrily, his skills are still not good, if this is a bamboo pole, it is estimated that one shot will be done, or according to the usual training level, the second shot can be hit.
Actual combat is still very different from training, and the psychological pressure on this battlefield is not comparable to that on the training ground, and this is even more true for this kind of artillery that requires high accuracy.
Not to mention that the difference is thousands of miles, but at least there will be a difference of several meters, these several meters, you will not be hit, and the consequences of not hitting are very simple, now this 92 heavy machine is beginning to withdraw, or transfer positions.
In the telescope, Wang Xinjia saw that the Japanese machine gunners began to fiddle with the machine guns, and the ammunition soldiers began to pack up the bullet boxes and prepare to leave.
One last shot, after this one, no matter whether you hit or not, you won't hit this heavy machine gun. Wang Xinjia told himself to calm down, keep in mind the operation technique, and make another shot.
After a loud "boom", Wang Xinjia hurriedly picked up the telescope to look at it, hit it, really hit, and his heart moved, but as a platoon commander, he was embarrassed to show himself too much, so he had to hold back.
The fighters were different, they all began to cheer for the platoon commander and cheer for victory.
Just as everyone was cheering, suddenly there was a hissing sound of cannonballs rubbing air in the air, no, "Lie down!" Wang Xinjia shouted as he quickly lay down in the position.
Then there was another loud bang, and not far from the artillery platoon, about ten meters away, a large crater was blown open by Japanese shells.
Looking at the size of this pit, Wang Xinjia's face turned green, this is definitely not the power of the mortar, it is the devil's ninety-two rifle gun, dog's day, the devil's rifle gunner is too good, the anticline can be hit here, and it is the first gun.
Wang Xinjia and Da Kui only fired a few shots of their two mortars, and they were targeted by the Japanese infantry artillery, this must be yes, the devils are just waiting for the Chinese army's firepower to appear, and now that mortars have appeared, they naturally have to counterattack immediately.
For the infantry companies of the Chinese army, the most powerful firepower is light machine guns, or a little grenadier, and most of the rest are rifles.
If mortars are to appear, then this Chinese army is either an infantry company of an elite unit, or a unit of ordinary troops at or above the battalion level, but it is not surprising that there are battalion-level units of the Chinese army on this important place of headless ridge.
Sakamoto, the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, is also mentally prepared for this, of course, an infantry battalion of the Chinese Army cannot compete with an infantry brigade of the Japanese Army at all.
It's just that the Chinese army occupies this favorable terrain first, otherwise if it is an attack, an infantry brigade of his can fight against a regiment or even a brigade of the Chinese army, and he will not fall behind.
Of course, the current army on the opposite side is likely to be the elite of the Chinese army, from being so calm at the beginning and not firing a single shot, to destroying three tanks with war defense artillery.
The current rifleman's unhurried cold gun, killing many stragglers of his 102nd Brigade, and the current accurate mortar strikes, all of this is not the performance of an ordinary Chongqing army.
Now Sakamoto Nakasa thinks that his infantry artillery can sweep everything, and he has already knocked out all the battle defense artillery of the Chongqing army on the opposite side, not to mention your mortar.
However, Wang Xinjia of the 7th artillery platoon of the 3rd Battalion did not believe in this evil and resolutely refused to retreat, and continued to fight against the devils on the anti-slope.
Regardless of the roar of the artillery around him, he calmly continued to operate the artillery, and checked with the second gunner to shoot Zhu Yuan, Wang Xinjia still quickly put the mortar shell into the barrel himself.
After a pop, Wang Xinjia quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at the enemy in the position of the 92 Heavy Machine, who was about to escape from the machine gun nest, just when several machine gunners dragged the 92 Heavy Machine and was about to get out of the machine gun nest.
Wang Xinjia's mortar shell finally fell into this machine gun nest, and after a loud bang, the devil's 92 heavy machine was blown to pieces, and several machine gunners were also blown up, and together with the smoke, they rose into the air.
The deputy platoon commander of the Seventh Company Artillery Platoon saw that Platoon Commander Wang was so brave, and he also showed the strength of not admitting defeat as an infantry squad leader in the past, and continued to calmly operate the artillery despite the threat of the 92-step artillery shells around him.
Now a strange situation has formed, similar to an asymmetrical style of play, the brothers of the seventh artillery platoon do not care about the enemy's ninety-two rifle guns, you fight yours, I fight mine.
Anyway, even if the devil's 92-step gun can be shelled at a large elevation angle in front of a mortar, after all, this is the anticline of the mountain, and it is difficult to hit accurately.
The Japanese artillery observers could not see the mortar position, and could only calculate the firing point by the parabola after the mortar shell was issued, which was a relatively large error.
