"Straight up and straight down shells? This...... How is this possible? Junroku Yamazaki clearly saw this scene from behind, and although he didn't believe it in his heart, the facts were in front of him, and there were really cannonballs that could go straight up and down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And what does it mean to be able to go straight up and down shells?

Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, and this rumor has not been completely spread until now.

But in the current troops, veterans with combat experience are indeed not very afraid of artillery.

Although the power of the cannon is very powerful and the momentum is also very scary, if it is directly hit by a shell, it is estimated that it will be difficult to save even a part of the body.

But if you are directly hit by a shell, how lucky will you have to be to do it?

Artillery, there is a blind spot for shooting, it is not good if it is too close, it is not good if it is too far, and it is not good if there is a tall obstacle in front of it. For example, anti-slope fortifications are used to protect against artillery.

Because after the cannon is discharged, the strong power cannot make him recalibrate, if he wants to hit the back of the mountain, it is impossible, at this time there are only two possibilities, either to drill headlong into the front slope, or to go around the mountain and fly to the rear.

But artillery can do this, and no matter how strong your fortifications are, it can easily bypass your defenses and fall directly overhead.

The history of mortars can be traced back to 1342, when the Spanish army besieged the Arabs, the Arabs erected a short horn cylinder in the city, the mouth of the cylinder was raised high and facing outward, when used, the soldiers first put in a bag of black powder, and then put in an iron ball, after ignition, the iron ball will be launched outside the city, this is the earliest prototype of the mortar can be traced back to the earliest.

In modern times, the world's first mortar appeared this year, but not in Korea, but in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904.

The inventor was a lieutenant of the Russian artillery, when the two sides were fighting for the Port of Arthur, the Russian army occupied the fortress of Port Arthur, and the positions of the two sides were only a few tens of meters apart, and the Russian artillery could not strike at the Japanese at all.

Therefore, the artillery captain converted an old 48mm naval mortar gun on a gun carriage with wheels, and fired a long-tail shell at a large elevation angle, which effectively killed and wounded the Japanese troops in the trenches and repelled many Japanese attacks.

He was the first mortar in the world, but it was not a mortar in the true sense of the word.

Of course, because of the rise of the Chinese Empire, hundreds of thousands of troops of the First Army were entrenched in the northeast region, so that Japan and Russia, which were supposed to start a war here, could only honestly entrench themselves in their respective territories at present, and did not dare to attack rashly.

But one thing is still the same, the first to experience the power of mortars were the Japanese.

The difference is that the mortar against the Japanese this time is not the kind of mortar improvised by the Russian artillery captain, but a 60-mm mortar that has been finalized and mass-produced.

This mortar is defined as the main support firepower of infantry below the battalion level, since its launch last year, Wang Sirui ordered to expand the scale of production, at the beginning each battalion was equipped with a mortar, with the increase in production capacity, mortars have been equipped with company-level units.

The First Army, on the other hand, is close to Korea and Russia, and is an area where a major war may be fought at any time, so it is far superior to the other three armies in terms of equipment.

Therefore, now the mortars of the entire First Army have achieved all-round coverage, that is, each company is equipped with one mortar, and the battalion headquarters is equipped with two support mortars.

That is to say, each battalion of the First Army is equipped with five heavy machine guns and six mortars, compared to the army during World War II, this firepower is not fierce, but compared to the current army, the firepower of the Royal Army is not bad at all.

'Tom~~~'

There was another dull sound, and another mortar shell was ruthlessly sent out of the chamber, the initial velocity of the shell was not fast, but it gave people an infinite sense of depression.

The sound and mystery of the heavy cannon can confuse people's minds, because the power of the heavy cannon is so great that people have to be afraid.

And what about mortars? The power is not as good as the heavy artillery, the caliber is not as good as the heavy artillery, and even the momentum is not as good as the heavy artillery.

But the relatively slow muzzle velocity, which corresponds to a shorter range, goes straight up and down, and the speed is not fast, which means that the trajectory of the mortar shell can be seen with the naked eye.

But what if you see it? Think it's slow, you should be able to dodge its attacks, right?

Wrong, big mistake, the shell is just slow, a distance of a few hundred meters, that is, two or three seconds of effort is enough, two or three seconds, how far can you run on the battlefield?

Even if you can run 10 meters, so what? As long as the shells are aimed at you, you can't run away at all.

Besides, do you really think that riflemen and machine gunners can't make tofu? They are not afraid of you running, they are afraid that you will not run, and often as soon as someone leaves the bunker, countless bullets will be fired.

They are not Japanese, so they don't have to worry about bullets at all, anyway, in their training, as long as they can kill the enemy, make sure that they can survive, and allow you to use the ammunition at will.

Compared to heavy artillery, which is invisible death, invisible fear, mortar is different, you can see it approaching you, you can even feel that death is not far away from you, but you just can't avoid it.

That's the most desperate thing, like when you're about to be hit by a car on the road, and you know that if you do, you're going to die, but time doesn't allow you to run to safety.

'......Boom'

The violent explosion of the cannonball instantly overturned everything around them, and those unsuspecting, frightened, and dodging Japanese soldiers were all hit without exception.

The Japanese soldier who was in the center of the explosion was directly lifted into the air by this mortar shell, at a height of more than ten meters, until the branches above blocked his place, and then he fell fiercely.

The sound of flesh and earth crashing is not as frightening as the explosion of a cannonball, but it is invading everyone's heart.

No one wants to be the next unlucky guy, and no one wants to die in this way, it's really terrifying, although at the beginning, the unlucky guy is already dead, but the others are not dead, they can see this scene clearly.

'Da Da Da ......'

'Smack......'

The heavy machine gun, like an ancient beast, constantly spits out a series of fire snakes and bullets in its mouth, as if it is inexhaustible, as long as someone appears there, the bullets will immediately follow.

Once you're targeted by a heavy machine gun, you're basically dead, even if it's just for a moment of relaxation.

Before you see the fiery snake flying towards you, you will first feel as if your whole body has been hit by something, and the whole body will fly backwards uncontrollably until it hits the obstacle, and then the body will be a piece of minced meat.

At this time, even excellent veterans, even veterans who know how to dodge bullets, have no chance to dodge at all.

Once targeted, it means death. (Taken from the Warring States of the Battle of Songhu. The post-war memoirs of a machine gunner of a certain army unit, recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, this is what it means. ）

The open area is the area of defense of heavy machine guns, and those enemies who hide behind tree shelters are the area of defense of riflemen.

Snipers mingled in the defensive positions, firing from time to time.

Because of the scope, professional sniper rifle, and a large amount of ammunition training, the four snipers reached the level of 100 shots at this moment.

At this time, the squadron leaders of the two squadrons of the Japanese army, one was killed, the other was not found by snipers for the time being because he was hiding behind, five of the six squad leaders died, and one was seriously injured, that is, Jun Cao, and there are not a few left.

Although the Japanese army was still fighting with the company, the internal command system of the Japanese army had been completely disrupted.

The Japanese were still carrying out the orders given by the first two squadron commanders, keeping this distance and firing at a company.

Of course, this is not without its results.

After all, there are few people in Yilian, although they have an absolute advantage in all aspects, but in just a few minutes of fighting, the casualties on Yilian's side also increased sharply in an instant, and there were almost twenty killed and more than 30 injured.

It means that within a few minutes, a platoon has already been lost in the first company.

However, the Japanese army was even worse, they had almost lost a squadron of troops, and if they continued to fight like this, the final result could only be a defeat for both sides, a company was disabled, and the Japanese troops of the two squadrons were directly wiped out.

"Order Yamashita Squadron and Fujino Squadron to abandon the perimeter and accelerate around the rear to sneak up on the enemy's back. It can't be done like this anymore. Junroku Yamazaki frowned fiercely, and ordered a little irrationally.

Now, Junroku Yamazaki couldn't keep his sanity at all, two squadrons, more than 400 people went to attack the Shina army of less than 200 people, and half of them were killed in just a few minutes.

Although the intensity of firepower on the opposite side has also decreased a lot, if it drags on like this, it is estimated that these two squadrons will be exhausted by each other sooner or later.

And when the Yamashita squadron and Fujino squadron arrived at the attack position, they were sure that they had already solved the two squadrons in front, and then with the reinforcements that came from all around, the Yamazaki brigade would basically be reimbursed here.

Although the battle was not completely over, after these few minutes of fighting, Junroku Yamazaki already knew the result.

Even if the two squadrons can quickly sneak around the rear and attack a company, then the Japanese army will win a crushing victory this time. A brigade went to attack a company, but more than half of them suffered casualties, and such a record could not boost the morale of the Japanese army, but would cause the morale of the Japanese army to fall to the bottom again.

You must know that the Yamazaki Brigade is basically the most powerful brigade among the Japanese troops stationed in Korea.

If even they can only fight like this, then how should other troops fight? Junroku Yamazaki couldn't have imagined.
