The artillery position is an extremely complex fortification, in which different artillery has different requirements for the position, the simplest is the infantry gun, the position basically does not need to be built, only need to be fixed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If it is a heavy artillery position, or an artillery position that is not intended to be used as a temporary position, then its structure can only be described as complex, a complete artillery position, including a command post, an observation position, a firing position, a bunker position, etc.

If it is used for a long time, then the position should be dug down, if it is a fixed position, it is also necessary to do hardening treatment to improve the impact resistance of the position, but this position will only be used on the shore defense position, the general field artillery position is only divided into two kinds, one is the simplest, no need to make any preparations, only need to be fixed, the other is to dig down, leaving only the barrel outside, in order to increase concealment, to prevent the enemy shells from accurately falling on their heads.

Because of the time relationship and the relationship between the enemy and the enemy, the artillery position this time did not have to be too complicated, and it was impossible for the Japanese Navy to come over to participate in the war, and even if they did, their target could only be the Imperial Navy, and they had no heart to deal with the heavy artillery position of this battalion.

So, their positions are the simplest kind.

The artillerymen skillfully dug two fixed pits about 30 centimeters deep in the ground, then put the brackets behind the gun mount into the pits, adjusted the angle, loaded the shells, and then they could shoot.

This is the simplest way, and the most common way in field warfare, with the advantage of being fast to deploy and quick to transfer. The disadvantage is that there is no defensive ability, and once an enemy large-caliber artillery shell falls into the position, the entire position will be destroyed instantly.

"Target 121, enemy position, elevation angle +4, direction 0, one high-explosive shell, type 1 fuse, charge No. 2, check the elements!" Li Sanli, commander of the heavy artillery battalion, took over the calculation data handed over by the chief of staff, and quickly took out a self-made loudspeaker and shouted loudly at the entire position.

The horn is actually made of empty artillery shells, not the kind of electronic structure, and it is difficult to convey the order if you command the entire battalion to fire a salvo without relying on something outside.

As a veteran artilleryman with rich combat experience, Li Sanli is in his seventh year of service this year, and he has been an artilleryman for six years, and he has participated in countless battles of all sizes.

The difference between heavy artillery and other artillery is that this shell is not a complete shell, and before use, it is necessary to decide what fuse to load according to the actual situation, and the fuse is actually literal, different fuses can send the shell to different distances.

In order to save the assembly time of the artillery to the greatest extent and improve the firing efficiency, the fuse is also directly made by the arsenal, when it is needed, directly take out the warhead and install different fuses, and the loading step is not troublesome, directly align the bottom of the warhead with the fuse and buckle it.

So far, the heavy artillery battalion is equipped with three different types of fuzes, namely type 1, 2 and 3 fuzes, which correspond to distances of up to 6 km, 12 km and 15 km respectively.

And with this convenience, as long as the artillery fuse is installed correctly, even if the angle is not adjusted well, the maximum deviation of the final shell from the landing point will not exceed one kilometer. Under the command of Li Sanli, this heavy artillery battalion has now become a leader in artillery, and its maximum error can be controlled within a range of 50 meters.

If an artillery gun is fired alone, the error of 50 meters is quite large, but if the whole battalion fires a salvo, this error is basically negligible.

"Good shot! Gun No. 2! …… Thirty-two guns are good! ”

In less than a minute, all 32 heavy artillery pieces of the battalion were ready, and when Li Sanli gave an order, these 32 155-mm heavy artillery shells would be fired at the Japanese positions on the opposite side.

An artillery battalion has a total of 64 squads, one squad has 12 people, one of which is responsible for operating the artillery, and the other squad is responsible for serving the artillery. Generally speaking, a battalion of the world's mainstream artillery units at present is composed of three four-gun companies and 12 artillery pieces.

That is, a platoon is equipped with one artillery, and there are also four four-gun companies, according to the different caliber of artillery, there will be some different differences in composition, such as the Chinese Empire, an artillery battalion composed of 32 heavy guns, is also extremely rare in the whole world.

If it weren't for the large number of trucks, these artillery would have been exhausted to death, but even if they were equipped with trucks, the artillery would have been almost tired.

"Ready, put!"

Regardless of whether he is tired or not, when he arrives on the battlefield, the war is always in the first place, because of the troubles made by the Japanese devils on the way, the artillery arrived at the battlefield half a day late, which greatly delayed the progress of the war.

'Whoosh ......'

Under the impact of the 155-mm shell on the mortar, the gunpowder in the fuse instantly released a terrifying high temperature, pushing the heavy shell out of the chamber, and after the shell left the barrel, it let out a burst of screams, and the air seemed to be unable to bear this pain, and it was followed by a dull cry of pain.

'......Boom'

Before the sound of the war between the shells and the air could make the frightened sound of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, one after another 155 mm high-explosive shells smashed into the Japanese positions, and a huge explosion broke out, accompanied by violent vibrations.

Boom, a cluster of orange flames rose into the air, after touching the air, the flames became a little more rapid, and the air around them was instantly devoured mercilessly by the crazy surging flames, with the help of oxygen, and the Japanese position was instantly ignited with a raging fire.

But that's not the end, it's just the beginning.

The angry sound of the cannonball, even the earth couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if it was showing weakness to the cannonball, a large number of fragmented shrapnel was violently pushed around by the impact of the cannonball's explosion, a large number of shrapnel ruthlessly devoured everything around, ruthlessly shredding all the objects in front of it, and then drilling into it fiercely.

'Poof......'

At this moment, Matsumo Oi felt that his whole person was in a very bad state, and his body was in a sharp pain, as if he had been torn apart by an invisible force, and there was a blurry scene in front of him, and his face felt warm and moist.

couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, and found that his hands were full of red blood, and there was a wail in the position, but Matsumo Oi couldn't hear anything, the pain in his body made him forget to moan, and his eyes were full of painful expressions of his comrades around him.

Matsushige Oi felt fear, yes, it was the first time he had really felt fear.

On the bodies of his comrades-in-arms, there was no trace of shrapnel penetrating, and there were no wounds on the whole body, but those comrades-in-arms were covered with blood all over their faces at the moment, and red blood was flowing everywhere in their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and the scene was very scary.

Matsumo Oi knew that he was almost the same as them at the moment, and it was that tragic situation that made Matsumo Oi feel a deep sense of fear.

But at this moment, he couldn't do anything, he could only endure the pain inside his body little by little, coughing violently, mouthfuls of blood were constantly coughed out of his mouth, the strength inside his body was dissipating little by little, the pain in his body was also dissipating little by little, and his consciousness was also dissipating little by little.

Just one round of shooting brought such heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches, which they had never imagined before.

What is even more terrifying is that the anti-artillery hole did cover most of the shrapnel for them, and within the attack range of about 400 meters long, less than 10 Japanese soldiers were actually killed by shrapnel, but no less than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured by the impact of the shell explosion.

More than 24,000 soldiers of the entire 36th Division were all staying in this defense line about 23 kilometers long, with an average of 1,000 soldiers per kilometer of the defense line, that is, one person per meter of defense line, and there were only so many anti-artillery holes, and it was impossible for them to hollow out all the underneath the entire defense line, basically there was an anti-artillery hole every five meters, and a anti-artillery hole had to drill into five to six soldiers.

At a distance of 400 meters, there are 80 anti-artillery holes, about 400 soldiers, and only a small number of these 400 soldiers can survive.

The effect of a heavy artillery salvo is by no means as simple as one plus one, thirty-two shells explode almost simultaneously before and after, and the shock wave also has a superimposed effect.

On the heavy artillery battalion, a two-row staggered formation was adopted, with 16 guns evenly deployed in the first row and 16 guns deployed in the gap between the two guns in front.

The advantage of such a deployment is that as long as it is in the area they are targeting, there is basically no chance of survival of ground targets, yes, not even a theoretical possibility.

And a few unlucky Japanese soldiers were directly hit by heavy artillery above the anti-artillery hole, and the entire anti-artillery hole collapsed instantly, burying the Japanese soldiers waiting inside directly alive. Although everyone knew that they were not buried deeply, as long as they quickly dug up the dirt on their bodies, there was still a good chance of survival.

However, the Japanese infantrymen who were killed and wounded by the impact of the shell explosion were even more powerless at the moment, and even moving left and right was a problem, and they could not spare the strength to dig up the soil buried in their bodies.

Just one round of shooting reimbursed a section of the Japanese defense line about 400 meters long, and the scene was very terrifying, but everyone knew that this was not the end, but the beginning.
