The role of the mortar is not only used to provide fire support to the infantry, although it is designed to be the original intention, and all the design concepts are also moving towards this aspect, but when the mortar is equipped to the troops, after a long period of training, the battlefield groping, now the mortar has become a multi-purpose individual small artillery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, in the army, everyone prefers to call it a portable infantry artillery, for many reasons, the original design firing angle is 45 to 85 degrees, but after a simple transformation, it can basically ensure that the mortar is fired horizontally, the principle is to use a hollow sorghum stalk to cover the firing pin in front of the shell, and then force the shell back to poke the bottom of the shell and let go, so that the shell and sorghum stalk are shot out together.

This method of use is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness may destroy the artillery and kill people, but this method can well solve the combat problem of the troops without the support of large-caliber artillery.

And because the rate of fire of the mortar is slow, if it is a flat shot, it is very likely to fall directly to the ground after flying a short distance, so under normal circumstances, it will still be guaranteed to have a certain angle. And this method is not used very often, it is only used when attacking city gates or buildings, and it is still used according to the standard process in normal times.

Because the impact of the mortar is insufficient, when attacking the building, it can effectively kill the enemy in the building without damaging the building excessively.

Blowing up the city gates, according to the standard process, mortars can indeed blow up the city gates, but it takes more time, and better luck, in this case, it is not as good as mortar flat fire, or small angle shooting, the trajectory is similar to that kind of grenade.

'......Boom'

A mortar shell smashed accurately in the center of the city gate, and after the impact, it began to activate the gunpowder inside, and the violent explosion sound made the Japanese soldiers above the city gate react differently to the Taiwanese civilians, and the city gate trembled slightly, but it did not fall.

This is the shortcoming of the mortar after being used for flat fire, there is not enough impact, if it is an infantry gun, even if it is a 37 mm caliber, as long as it hits, it can blow the gate open with one shot.

In the face of the sudden siege of the city, the Japanese troops at the head of the city began to be a little overwhelmed, and they did not expect that the marines below would choose to attack without hesitation.

But what about now? The Japanese did not intend to kill them in the same way, the Japanese just hoped to delay them, although a delirious Japanese soldier poisoned the civilians, but that would not allow them to launch a full-scale attack, right?

"Yaga...... How could they ...... like this" Yes, in the opinion of Umisa Uji, it is indeed like this, why would they choose to attack regardless of the comfort of civilians?

This is not a beachhead, shooting there, they still have the certainty to control the situation, so that what happened there is not revealed, but this is Kaohsiung, the people who were pulled to the city are less than one-fifth of the entire Kaohsiung county, and there are more Taiwanese people in the city, at this moment, they are all watching this scene, are they not afraid that after taking Kaohsiung, they will be resisted by the people of Kaohsiung?

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the city gate can't be guarded." A Japanese soldier ran to Umisa's side, his face black, and the smell of gunpowder was reported.

"Can't hold it...... If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. Umisa Ushi roared angrily, and immediately ordered the soldier: "Shout to the enemy troops under the city, and order them to retreat, otherwise, everyone on the city wall will die, no, everyone in the city must die." ”

Umisa Ushi has no choice at all, he was left by the wing captain Ushita Usashi to attract the attention of the enemy, so as to hide their idea of blowing up the dock, and it is precisely because of this that Umisa Usashi will order to capture some civilians and walk to the city, hoping to use this method to delay the enemy's footsteps, and at the same time win enough time for Ushita's Usa.

But what he didn't expect was that his mission was indeed successful to a certain extent, because he attracted most of the enemies under the city, but who knew that the other part would actually run directly towards the docks. What's even worse is that the enemy army under the head of the city actually gave the order to attack the city without any regard for the safety of the people?

"Fathers and fellow villagers, if you fight with the little devils, even if you die, we will take them together." In the crowd of people on the city wall, I don't know who suddenly shouted, and then thousands of civilians suddenly messed up, punching and kicking, some biting their mouths, and some snatching the weapons of the Japanese army.

And at this moment, the Japanese army knew what regret was, and they knew that it would be such a result, so why didn't they just pull women up? Because of the time relationship, these people who were pulled up by the Japanese army on the city wall were pulled directly from the street, how many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled who would go to the street these years? Walking on the streets are basically normal people, regardless of men, women, old and children, it is these people who unite and suddenly attack the Japanese army, even the well-trained Japanese army, can not completely suppress it in a short time.

There was a mess on the city wall, Liu Zhilang under the city also saw the opportunity, two mortars hit the heavy wooden gate one after the other, the situation in Taiwan is similar to that of Japan, metal resources are scarce species, water power, forests and fisheries are their important economic support, Taiwan's few poor metal resources, all were looted by Japan, but fortunately, Taiwan was close to the mainland before, and a lot of resources were transported from the mainland.

Therefore, the total amount of steel resources looted by the Japanese army in Taiwan is not small, and it is even enough to build several battleships. Don't be surprised, if you see the current appearance of Taiwan, it is not surprising at all, all the farm tools have been restored to wood, every household does not even see any iron materials, the Japanese are even so mad that they have taken away all the iron pots, and they can only use ceramic pots and pans for dinner.

The wooden gate was originally made of steel, but it was demolished after the Japanese arrived. But even so, the heavy wooden gate withstood the attack of two cannonballs, and it was not until the third and fourth cannonballs came that it fell unwillingly.

The city gate has fallen, the city wall has been chaotic, and the infantry that has been prepared under the city has rushed into the city in a swarm, and at this moment, how can the Japanese army on the city wall still have the energy to block the enemy troops outside the city? It was the riots on the walls that caused them so much that they were unable to organize an effective defense.

After entering Kaohsiung City, a company of troops began to search slowly in the city, and the rest of the troops embraced the city wall, driving some Taiwanese people off the city wall from time to time, and then took over their combat missions, and the Japanese troops on the city wall were also powerless.

Also, I just escaped from the beach before, and before I could catch my breath, I was going to arrest people and go up to the city wall, and the enemy was just ready to come, and before I could say a word, this was the siege of the city, and then the people who were caught on the city wall also rioted with his meow, riot......

Even if the Japanese are iron-clad, they will feel tired after going through so many things.

This siege has a kind of anticlimactic feeling, at the beginning it was vigorous, it looks awesome, but the process and the result are very speechless, the Japanese prisoners of this year are no longer easy to catch, the Japanese devils who accepted the spirit of bushido, the will to fight is not said.

An careless soldier wanted to capture a Japanese prisoner, but the other party pulled a grenade, which not only killed two people, but also caused casualties among five or six people nearby.

And this scene on the city wall made many Japanese soldiers feel frightened, because they suddenly found that the enemy army attacking the city wall seemed to have a new type of equipment, as long as a shot hit the person's body, the entire area that was hit would be a blur of flesh and blood. If the place where it is hit is the arm or neck, then the arm or head will definitely be knocked down, and the appearance is even more miserable.

And this scene, even the Japanese army, which has always been known for its brutality, is a little unacceptable, and some Japanese soldiers who are still a little far away, and a little scared, dare not accept this reality, and a few other options choose to jump off the city wall directly, and the provincial party itself will enjoy that kind of treatment. Some simply pulled a grenade, exploded, and took themselves away, as well as a few enemies or civilians along the way.

Because of the large number of civilians mixed on the city wall, the army could not fight with all its strength, and there were many scruples, so after the battle was climbed on the city wall, the number of casualties of the troops began to increase dramatically, and at least more than half of the casualties were injured or killed because of civilians.

However, the number of Japanese troops on the city wall was not large, and after about half an hour, the enemy situation on the city wall had been cleared, and there was not a single Japanese army still alive.

There were occasional gunshots, the sound of a grenade exploding, and occasionally wisps of black smoke could be seen rising. Kaohsiung is basically taken, but there is still no movement at the Kaohsiung Wharf not far away.

"The fourth company went down to clean up the remnants of the Japanese army and sent a telegram to the brigade headquarters, our department has taken Kaohsiung, and the first battalion is rushing to the Kaohsiung wharf, I don't know what the situation is at present." Liu Zhilang glanced in the direction where the dock was located, couldn't see anything, and then ordered. (To be continued.) )
