Unfortunately, by the time the bandit reacted, it was too late, the cannonballs whistled down, and then there was a dull explosion, and the explosion set off a large area of dirt and smoke in the cottage, although the cannonballs did not directly concentrate on the bandits, but some of the bandits who were closer were a little dizzy by the shock, and their bodies were covered with dirt that fell from the sky after the explosion.

Before the march, Sergei suddenly found Wang Bin and told Wang Bin that the mortar had been improved, and as soon as Wang Bin heard Sergei say that the mortar had been improved, he immediately went to see the mortar.

After arriving at the arsenal, Wang Bin looked at the six mortars placed on the ground, except for the fact that they were a little bigger, on the whole, they met their own requirements, and the caliber also reached the eighty millimeters they require.

So Wang Bin immediately asked for a test shot on the spot, and the result made Wang Bin very satisfied, originally he was still worried about going to the mountains to suppress bandits and worried about the problem of heavy firepower, but now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about this problem.

In fact, the charge of the eighty mm mortar is not low, and if TNT is used, its explosive power is even greater than that of the field artillery of the seventh or fifth life, but unfortunately this TNT is expensive, so Wang Bin can only use black powder to fill.

However, even after filling the black powder, the power of this explosion is somewhat reduced, but after all, this is a cannonball, not to mention anything else, let's just say that this shock wave is enough for these bandits to drink a pot first, and the shock wave is accompanied by the fragments of the shell, so the power of this mortar filled with black powder is still there.

At this time, the bandits were curious, how could it be impossible for the artillery of the officers and soldiers in this mountain to pull up, they had considered this when they built the cottage, but they didn't expect the shell to come up, so the group of bandits began to think about where the shell came from.

But even this group of bandits thought about it, they couldn't imagine that this artillery was fired from a distance of only 500 meters under their noses, at this moment Liu Wangzhen (xiao) was in the mortar position with his own telescope to observe the landing point of this shell, he was not surprised that all the shells at the beginning were crooked, his mortar men only took over this new type of artillery before the march, and before the launch, these mortar men only just knew how to operate this artillery, and had not yet carried out actual combat shooting. This is the first time to shoot this time, and this is still in a state of experimentation and training, so naturally there is no hope for the accuracy of these mortar fighters' shooting, just let them adapt to the actual combat in this battle.

Just before the artillery support, Liu Wangchen's artillery also had a small accident, because it was the first time to take over such artillery, so these mortar operators had a misassembly error when assembling, resulting in the artillery support originally scheduled to be launched in the woods had to be postponed for an hour, until the attack on the bandits' cottage was launched, and the artillery support was belated.

After Liu Wangzhen put down the telescope in his hand, he immediately turned his head and ordered a few words to the gunner, and began to correct the trajectory according to the previous impact point.

So six 80-millimeter mortar shells began to fly into the air, and after crossing a distance of several hundred meters, they fell behind the cottage, although this time four of the six shells did not have a concentrated target, but the remaining two still hit the bandits perfectly, after these two shells fell, several bandits were immediately shot away, and the fragments emitted also hit several bandits on the side.

This is not over, this round of artillery strikes fell, and another round of artillery strikes began to fall, because this bandit simply can't afford to use artillery, which is full of technical weapons, so there is naturally no artillery in this cottage, so Liu Wangzhen doesn't need to think about worrying about the other party's artillery strikes, and naturally he doesn't need to think about the problem of transferring artillery positions.

Liu Wangjian's artillery coverage not only showed the bandits inside the cottage what is called large-scale rapid-fire, but also stunned a group of officers on the hillside in the distance, letting them know what a real rapid-fire artillery is.

In just one minute, the mortar operators under Liu Wangzhen had already fired 70 shells, an average of about 10 shells per mortar, and the dust around the bandits' cottage was filled for a while.

This rate of fire gave the officers of the Fifth Town an idea of what true rapid-fire was, compared to the rate of fire of the mortars, which were two to three fires per minute.

In this year's year, if you want to say that the most advanced artillery is the tube retreat artillery, the tube retreat artillery is now extremely advanced, even Japan can not do the production of tube retreat artillery, in the Beiyang New Army there are only a small number of tube retreat guns, and the rest of the artillery is basically a rack retreat artillery.

In the era of the recoiled artillery, the maximum rate of fire was only about three to four rounds per minute, except for the French, who could do ten rounds a minute, nothing else, but even the French could only achieve about ten rounds a minute in the case of the ultimate rate of fire, and the fastest artillery under Wang Bin was only the Krupp 75 mm field gun, which achieved a rate of fire of eight rounds per minute.

And this mortar, in the first actual combat showed a rate of fire of about ten rounds per minute, you must know that even such a rate of fire is still relatively conservative, because the technicians of the arsenal are worried that the rate of fire too fast will lead to the failure of the mortar, so they are not allowed to use the maximum rate of fire of the mortar, otherwise it is possible to increase the rate of fire by half.

"I said how did you bring such a strange cannon today, it's worth it with this rate of fire."

The officers who saw this scene on the sidelines were full of discussions.

When these officers said this, they were even thinking about how to equip their men with this kind of artillery first.

This mortar weighs only about 100 kilograms, and it can be disassembled, so it can be quickly maneuvered, and the fifth town will have a fast mobile artillery in the future.

When fighting with the enemy in the mountains, if there are mortars and machine guns on your side, then no matter how many enemies there are, it will not be enough to see!

Not to mention the thoughts of these officers, the officers and officers in the offensive were all in a state of stunned after seeing the power of this mortar, especially Chen Dongsheng, who was on the front line of the attack, couldn't help but burst out after seeing this artillery covering: "This artillery attack is really fierce." “

After seeing such a scene, Chen Dongsheng couldn't help but think, if his battalion is equipped with this kind of artillery in the future, its combat effectiveness will not soar!
