Chapter 55: Entanglement (5)
Seeing many soldiers lying in a pool of blood, Xiao Linghu's heart was like a knife, and he suddenly understood that he had indeed made a serious mistake, and he had underestimated the fighting ability of the devils.
"Withdraw!" Finally, Xiao Linghu had to issue such a helpless order.
Yang Gensheng quickly ran to inform the company commanders of the three companies, but now, the losses have been made, and he only wants to make up for the loss, it is not too late, so as to avoid more casualties among officers and soldiers.
Meng Fanwei gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded: "How can this chariot of the devil be destroyed? ”
Xiao Linghu also had no solution. According to what I learned when I was in school, there are many weapons against tanks, such as anti-tank mines, armor-piercing shells, and infantry guns, but they don't have any of these things.
Although his order to retreat had been issued, the officers and soldiers who had already rushed to the road could not retreat, they were suppressed by the two heavy machine guns on the devil tank, and they couldn't even lift their heads, so they fell to the ground and didn't dare to move.
Tian Dahai ran over, looking anxious, and said to Xiao Linghu: "Battalion commander, you can't withdraw!" ”
At this time, Xiao Linghu also saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, thought for a while, and looked at this distance, unless they threw grenades in large quantities, or could suppress the devil's machine gun, but this distance was a little far, if it was close to about thirty meters, it was more suitable.
Mortars are no longer needed, because this distance is too close, and the shells can easily fall to other parts of the road, and if they blow up to the middle of the **, it will be worth the loss.
"Grenadier?" Xiao Linghu suddenly thought of something, and asked Tian Dahai: "Didn't you even capture two grenadiers and two bags of grenades from the devil when you were fighting with the third battalion last night?" Where are those things now? ”
Tian Dahai was stunned for a moment and said, "I think those things should be useful, so I let people keep moving them and didn't stay in Panjia Village." ”
His words are so high-sounding, in fact, because he has a kind of selfishness, for fear that these things will stay and eventually fall into the regiment, become the common materials in the regiment, and then distribute them to others.
"Hit with a grenadier!" Xiao Linghu immediately decided.
Tian Dahai's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and said, "But none of us will even use that thing!" ”
Xiao Linghu also frowned, the use of grenadiers does require technology, and it is not something that any soldier can use, relatively speaking, this kind of thing is more difficult to master than mortars.
"Take it, I'll try it!" At this time, Xiao Linghu could only volunteer, compared to the others in the camp, he had used this weapon and knew how to use it.
After a while, Tian Dahai ran over carrying a black cylinder, and behind him, a soldier was also carrying two bags.
Xiao Linghu took this grenadier, about five kilograms, lighter than the light bolt, for the last devil ** type grenadier, the full length is about the same as the calf, the length of the barrel is the distance from the wrist to the elbow, with a foot and bracket below, the angle can be adjusted, it is a small mortar.
Xiao Linghu fiddled with the grenadier for a while, then came to a relatively wide place, knelt on one leg, and twisted the adjustment lever to determine the firing distance from here to the location of the devil tank on the road.
The firing range of this grenade canister is achieved by twisting the exposed handle to adjust the length of the adjusting rod to adjust the volume in the gun chamber, and the smaller the volume of the gun chamber, the longer the adjustment rod penetrates into the gun chamber, and the shorter the firing range. Adjust the opposite, the longer the range.
When operating, it is generally operated by two people. The shooter pulls the firing lever, the ammunition hand loads the ammunition from the mouth of the barrel, the shooter holds the launcher with his left hand, sits on the ground with the semicircular bottom, and supports it at least at a 45-degree angle, rotates the handle according to the distance of the target until the adjustment rod reaches the corresponding length, and after the shooter takes a rough aim through the aiming line, he pulls the belt on the launcher, fires the bottom and fires the explosive, and shoots the grenade out.
Since the amount of bottom propellant is always the same, it is not possible for ordinary people to accurately hit the target only by adjusting the angle of the grenadier.
Xiao Linghu propped up the grenadier on the ground, and Tian Dahai also took out two special grenades for this grenadier from the two bags, the body of the bomb was black, there was a red and yellow ribbon on the top, and the lower part had a copper bullet belt, about 800 grams. Each of the two bags contained eight grenades, making a total of sixteen.
Of course, Xiao Linghu also knows that this kind of grenadier does not only fire such a grenade, but the most important thing is to launch the Devil 91 grenade, which is what everyone calls "melon", which is also the most common grenade equipped by Japanese infantry.
Everything is ready, Xiao Linghu is also playing the drum in his heart, although it is not the first time he has used a grenadier, but after all, he is not skilled, he is not afraid that the grenade will not hit the devil's tank after it is launched, but he is afraid that the grenade will fall in the lying area of his own people. Although the devil's heavy machine gun has some dead angles when hitting the lying crowd on the ground, and it cannot hit the human body, this grenade is different after exploding, and its strike range is five to eight meters in a radius, or even ten meters in diameter. The debris was scattered enough to kill and injure people nearby.
"Brother, your hands are shaking!" Meng Fanwei couldn't help but remind Xiao Linghu.
Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, tried to calm himself down, his hand was also much steady, and he pulled the belt suddenly, and as the white smoke rose, the grenade made a loud "boom", flew out of the grenadier, and whistled towards the road a hundred meters away.
However, the first grenade still hit a little farther, and actually crossed the road, and the road was in the cotton field on the other side of the road, making a loud noise like a cannonball.
"Far away!" Meng Fanwei shouted, and had already snatched the grenade from Tian Dahai's hand, acting as Xiao Linghu's bombloader.
He had also operated grenadiers in school and knew how to adjust.
"I'm coming!" He volunteered, handed the grenade in his hand to Xiao Linghu, snatched the grenadier from his hand, and looked at the devil tank that was still roaring on the road ahead. When Xiao Linghu filled the grenade into the canister, he also completed the adjustment of the grenadier canister, and with the sound of "boom", the grenade exploded close to the road, and still did not hit the devil in the road.
Tian Dahai was a little heartbroken, and said: "There are so many grenades, and they will be gone when they are finished!" ”
Xiao Linghu said lightly: "How do you think the devil's fight is so accurate?" They are all fed with grenades, and if one out of ten grenades hits the enemy, we are considered victorious! ”
Hearing what the battalion commander said, Tian Dahai had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
That is, between them talking, Meng Fanwei had adjusted the distance and angle again, pulled the belt again, and with the white smoke rising, the grenade roared towards the devil chariot on the road, but this time it was just right, just behind the devil chariot The heavy machine gun exploded, and the huge explosion resounded in the sky, and the two machine guns of the devil tank were dumb all at once.
