Chapter 334: Theory Connects with Practice

He Sanliang believes that He Huizhang's lavish waste of cannonballs is just a fuse that triggers Li Ziyuan's anger. Li Ziyuan did not send anyone to stop the big-hearted He Huizhang, which shows that his real anger is not because of He Huizhang. Li Ziyuan is not the kind of person who can't see the crux of the problem, let alone use the lives of a soldier to harden the top in order to save ammunition.

On the contrary, Li Ziyuan is very flexible and has always been eclectic on the battlefield. When it's time to give it, it's definitely a give-and-go. Just like in the summer anti-sweeping operation, in order to protect the safety of the headquarters, he can even be called a pot and sell iron, and even took out his old book.

Not only was it fully manned, but it could even be said that some of the supernumerary battalions were basically gone, and the weapons and ammunition that he had painstakingly accumulated were basically exhausted. A portion of the fraternal units that were desperately short of ammunition were also allocated to solve the urgent needs of the fraternal troops.

Afterwards, although I was distressed and couldn't sleep night after night, I still didn't regret it. Li Ziyuan's will is very firm, and once he makes up his mind, he will definitely not turn back. No matter what the cost, there will never be a word for regret. He's not the kind of guy who values the lives of a fighter more than ammunition and weapons.

When it is time to be generous, Li Ziyuan is definitely not the kind of person who buckles the rope. As long as he thinks it is needed, Li Ziyuan will definitely not be stingy with ammunition consumption. Even if it's this bit of ammunition, it's the only bit of money he has. But he will definitely not feel distressed, let alone be angry about it.

Although Li Ziyuan said that he was stubborn, he was more arbitrary on the battlefield. But at critical moments, he can still listen to the persuasion of others, and he is also the kind of person who can fight skillfully and will never fight hard. Even if there are not many shells, if the casualties can be reduced, Li Ziyuan will definitely not be stingy.

At present, this battle is related to whether Hubei can reopen the situation, He Sanliang does not think that Li Ziyuan will really be so angry because of He Huizhang's big spending. It is estimated that it was because of Zeng Sheng's side that he sent his anger to He Huizhang's head. It was precisely because he had figured out where the key issue was, so He Sanliang did not persuade Li Ziyuan in any way.

Li Ziyuan and He Sanliang, two people on the mountain, were engrossed in paying attention to the battlefield under the mountain. And the troops participating in the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, with the support of He Huizhang's artillery, are also becoming more and more courageous. It's just that the troops who don't have the experience of infantry and artillery coordinated operations make He Huizhang a little constrained.

After firing more than a dozen shells, seeing that his troops had been completely entangled with the Japanese puppet army, and knowing that he had no chance to open the cannon, he could only accept his hand with some regret. Now, if the cannon fire continues, it may be that side will suffer more casualties.

The unit has not experienced infantry artillery coordinated training, and even if its shooting skills are high, it is impossible to avoid accidental injuries at such a close distance. It's just that He Huizhang, who was a little unwilling, looked at the mortars around him that could only be dumb at the moment, and he was a little depressed for a while.

However, the platoon commander brought by his side, looked at the battlefield in front of him and looked at He Huizhang with an unwilling face, his eyes rolled and He Huizhang muttered a few words in a low voice. What he said was heard on this complicated battlefield except for the congratulatory chapter. But after listening to his opinion, He Huizhang showed a thoughtful smile on his face.

He came to the 92 infantry gun, pondered for a while, and then dragged the 92 infantry gun to the front. Of course, don't look at the fact that the mortar of He Huizhang is quite slippery, the performance is more or less the same as that of the mortar, that is, the grenadier of a super miniature mortar, and it is also quite slippery. But if he had to change to an infantry gun or a mountain gun, he wouldn't use it.

It's just that for He Huizhang, although he can't use this kind of infantry cannon, it's still okay to scare the puppet army in front. This thing is better than a rifle to scare people, and if it doesn't sound, it doesn't necessarily have no power. He Huizhang is a person who has been a puppet army for a few days, and he still knows the mentality of these puppet soldiers very clearly.

The puppet army doesn't matter what this army or that army is, or what kind of garrison. The puppet army that has formed into a system and surrendered to the enemy still has some combat effectiveness. But most of the puppet armies are quite poor in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight. Although they became puppet soldiers for the food and salaries issued by the Japanese, it was basically impossible for them to fight to the death for the Japanese.

Of course, if there are fortifications to rely on, or if the troops attacking them are too poorly equipped, these puppet armies may be able to pretend to be powerful. But in the current situation, these puppet armies basically have little hope. Especially without the Japanese to supervise the war, these puppet soldiers are very weak-minded. Scare them, it will have a good effect.

He Huizhang commanded a squad to advance the 92 infantry cannon dozens of meters forward, aiming the muzzle of the cannon at the largest group of the puppet army that had been divided. Let one of the soldiers around him shout at this puppet army, and tell them to immediately put down the weapons in their hands, otherwise they will immediately open fire here.

Although this 92 infantry gun is considered a small cannon in the artillery equipment. In the Japanese army, it is even considered infantry equipment. But no matter how big or small, it's still a cannon after all. Even if it doesn't hit, the problem is that this small cannon is much more powerful than a grenadier. The psychological pressure brought to these puppet troops is even far more than a heavy machine gun.

Seeing the 92 infantry cannon dragged over by He Huizhang, the trapped puppet army completely lost the will to resist. Led by a second lieutenant, he threw his weapon down the hill and raised his hands in surrender. This puppet army has nearly 100 people, and it is also the largest group of the puppet army that has been divided.

This puppet army surrendered, and the puppet army that was divided into scattered states in other directions, as long as there was no Japanese army to supervise the war, they also lost the will to continue fighting. Under the shouts of the Chinese of the surrounding troops not to fight the Chinese, looking at the black hole of the 92 infantry gun under the mountain, as well as the rows of light and heavy machine guns, they also handed over their weapons.

On the contrary, it was the Japanese army, but not one of them gave up resistance. Despite losing all of his heavy weapons, he was split in two. But the remaining fifty or sixty Japanese troops were still wrapped in almost eighty or ninety puppet troops trying to resist to the end. For these Japanese puppet troops who are still resisting, Li Ziyuan, who has already rushed to the bottom of the mountain, is not polite.

Ordered all the attacking troops to withdraw, use local materials and light and heavy machine guns to block the route of the Japanese puppet army to break through the encirclement, and adopt the tactics of encircling but not fighting and bluffing. Let He Huizhang transfer a mortar, move all the shells over, and prepare to use mortars to drive these Japanese troops into the ambush circle.

And he and He Sanliang went down the mountain and took over the infantry cannon that He Huizhang couldn't play. He Huizhang wanted to ask Li Ziyuan if he would use it, but he was glared at by Li Ziyuan, swallowed back the words that had not yet been said, and could only honestly hand over the cannon.

Li Ziyuan really didn't know how to use it, and when he captured this kind of cannon for the first time, he could only use it as a flat-fire gun after fiddling with it for a long time, and the first shell flew away. The last captured infantry guns can only be handed over to the main force or army division. Li Ziyuan has never forgotten this lesson.

However, in the learning process of Kang Da, Li Ziyuan has always been a shortcoming and immediately trying to improve it. After learning the lesson that the captured infantry guns could not be used before, I specially found an instructor from the Anti-War League, a Japanese prisoner of war who was born in Kang Da, and learned how to use this Japanese army-standard brigade gun.

With a total weight of only 200 kilograms and a caliber of 70 millimeters, the two wheels are removed and the weight of the machine gun is lower, and a donkey can lead it. It can be used as a mountain cannon and as a flat-fire gun. The 92 Infantry Cannon, which could be disassembled when needed and carried by several people, was the favorite weapon used by the Japanese army in mountain warfare.

Although the caliber is only 70 millimeters, it is enough to deal with ordinary field fortifications. Moreover, this kind of artillery can be fired horizontally, or it can be fired from the back at a large angle like a mortar. This gun is not very powerful, but it is a combination of howitzer, mortar and direct-aim artillery.

The most important thing is that the gun body is much lower than the mortar, and it is only half a meter high when the shield and wheels are removed. Hiding in the grass is not easy to find. When fighting the Japanese army, the probability of encountering this kind of artillery was even much greater than that of mortars and mountain artillery. On the battlefield, along with grenadiers, is the greatest threat to light and heavy machine guns in combat units.

Li Ziyuan, who didn't want to give up because he couldn't use it, after capturing this kind of artillery that was very suitable for his own troops, took a few nights to learn to use it. He is now the only one in the entire army who will use such a cannon. So he personally took over the 92 infantry cannon and prepared to solve the Japanese puppet army that finally tried to resist stubbornly.

This Japanese, who joined the Anti-War League, was the main shooter of the 92nd Infantry Gun in the Japanese army, and was wounded and captured in a battle with the main force. After recovering from his injury, he eventually joined the anti-war league under strong political and ideological work. According to the training standards of the Japanese army, this old man is extremely proficient in the 92 infantry gun.

Not to mention that the repair of small problems is a big dismantling, he can also reassemble it in ten minutes. In his own words, he didn't even need an observer to count at close visual shooting. With your eyes closed, you can shoot shells into the firing holes of pillboxes or machine gun fortifications.

With such an old man as a teacher, although Li Ziyuan can only find time to study with him without affecting his normal learning. But after all, where is the foundation of the previous life Xueba, he learns very quickly. And he also achieved high scores during the assessment, and he can barely be regarded as a famous teacher and a high apprentice.

During his studies at Kang University, due to the lack of similar equipment, Li Ziyuan could only learn theory through hand-drawn drawings. This time, he took over this 92 infantry gun, in addition to forcing the trapped Japanese troops to give up holding on to break through. Li Ziyuan also has a plan, that is, to connect theory with practice through practical operation.

Seeing that these dirt roads under the mountain that couldn't even get together their military uniforms would really use this kind of artillery, the Japanese puppet army on the mountain was also somewhat panicked. In particular, the Japanese army is their own equipment, so they are naturally more aware of the performance of this artillery and the current threat to themselves.

I originally thought that no one would use this kind of high-tech weapon in this Dirt Eight Roads, but I didn't expect that the learning spirit of these Dirt Eight Roads is extremely high, and there are really people who will use this kind of small cannon. It's just that the Japanese puppet army, which immediately tried to break through when the situation was not good, was beaten back by the concentrated firepower of the troops several times in the breakthrough operation.

And Li Ziyuan, after a bit of scrambling, also fired the first shell. It's a pity that he is a good student in his studies, but after all, Kang Da has no cannon for him to operate. He only learned the theory, but he was still a little unskilled when he actually operated it for the first time. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding soldiers and the Japanese puppet army on the mountain, the first shell was missed by him.
