Chapter 192, Mortar

The Japanese infantry attacked with the tanks again, and the bullets clanged on the armor of the tanks in front of the 97 Medium Battle, but the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun did not move to the position, and the light machine gun alone could not penetrate the 97 Medium Battle.

"Whoosh!" The bazooka spewed rockets and flew towards the Japanese tanks.

The rocket is a striking fuse, which explodes instantly after hitting the tank, and its warhead uses an armor-piercing projectile, and the fragments of the explosion penetrate the armor, mass-killing the occupants inside and destroying the equipment inside.

In the 97th Battle, one after another was knocked out, turning into piles of scrap metal, and the shrapnel also caused damage to the Japanese troops behind the tank.

The Japanese ignored this loss and continued to advance, and their 92 infantry guns also opened fire, suppressing the positions of the airborne division.

"What about heavy machine guns? Hurry up and move in. The company commander who was leading the team to the side shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Two fighters carried a Browning M2 heavy machine gun and ran down the trench with their waists bowed.

"Why haven't you come until now?" The company commander was a little angry, "What about the dogs? ”

"The dog, it was blown up, and we lifted it twice, and the speed was slower." One of them said with some frustration.

The company commander was silent, and after a few seconds, he continued to shout, "Now hurry up and mount the machine gun, you can't let the devils rush up." ”

"Yes!" Several people hurriedly put the machine gun on the trench, and the bullet was loaded with a click.

The Heavy came over and operated the real heavy machine gun, observing the Japanese through the gap between the two baffles, and at the same time pouring ammunition at the Japanese troops.

The Browning M2 heavy machine gun has only now been moved to the position, and this thing is quite heavy, and it takes a lot of manpower to carry it, so it has only been transported now.

The M2 heavy machine gun uses 12.7mm large-caliber bullets, and the steel plates of the Japanese army's 97 Medium War could not block the M2 bullets at all.

The Japanese troops who were hit by the M2 heavy machine gun were not much better, and they were seriously cut in two.

The chain rattled, the golden cartridge casings were thrown out and sprinkled all over the ground, a box of bullets was quickly squandered, and the thick barrel was piping hot, and it was not a problem to grill slices of meat on it.

"Quick, change the barrel." The Heavy unloaded the heavy body from the stand and lowered it to the ground, where some damp dirt stuck to it with a "snort" sound, followed by a burst of steam.

Without touching the barrel, remove the barrel, replace it with a cold barrel, attach the bracket, change the box of ammunition and connect it to the chain, and continue to fire.

The goblin Japanese soldier crawled forward slowly on the ground, not caring about the dirt all over his body, and from time to time he rushed forward and fired a shot. As for the Japanese tanks, they were all turned into a lump of scrap metal, and they were useless except for serving as a bunker for the attacking Japanese army. However, if the Japanese army takes it, it may be able to continue to be used if it is repaired again.

The battle lasted until dark, and the Japanese army was spying on small units in the later period, and there were no more troops above the squadron level attacking, most of them were scattered charges of small squads, and they immediately retreated as soon as they were attacked, and it was obvious that they were spying on the deployment of firepower. However, the airborne divisions used all automatic weapons, and they all fought "da-da-da", and they couldn't tell the difference at all, but the Japanese army didn't seem to feel it at all, and continued to attack tirelessly.

After dark, I thought that the Japanese army would go to rest when they retreated, but unfortunately this idea was too naΓ―ve, how could the Japanese army go to rest? Still attacking and retreating, attacking and retreating......

The airborne division was very puzzled by the behavior of the Japanese army, did they have enough to eat and hold on to nothing to do, or did they suspect that they would give more heads? None of this is known, but they all know what kind of conspiracy the Japanese army is engaged in.

In the second half of the night, there was still a lot of gunfire on the frontal battlefield, and the flares hung in the sky, and they never stopped, and more than a dozen flares hit the sky at a time, illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day.

"Ahh One of the warriors yawned, rubbing his tear-stained eyes and looking a little tired.

"Who's going to ask, when is the shift changing?" A soldier shouted as he sat to the side with a gun in his hand.

"No need to ask, there is still half an hour, and the garrison time is three hours round." A tall, thin warrior looked at his watch and said.

"It's half past four!?" One person also looked at his watch, and said with some surprise, he felt that it was only three o'clock, "Time flies so fast!" ”

"Fast? I wish I could hurry up and go to rest sooner. A soldier next to him squinted at the tall, thin man.

In a dark bush, there were a pair of wolf-light eyes staring at the position of the airborne division. A few minutes later, a black figure emerged from inside and sneaked towards the positions of the airborne division.

They avoided places where there were flares, and went specifically to dark places, and there was no doubt that they were a group of sneak attackers, who were going to sneak up on the positions of the airborne division.

However, they didn't know that there was something called an infrared night vision device, and they didn't know what thermal imaging was, which seemed too sci-fi to them.

So their every move was exposed under the noses of the airborne division, and the cautious and dodging movements of these Japanese soldiers looked like clowns.

"Give them a wave." The battalion commander who was guarding the position saw these figures and said without hesitation.

Give them a wave, a wave of what? Of course, it's peanuts, and it's 12.7mm.

The machine gunner held the handle and pulled the trigger, and the bullets were fired at the Japanese soldiers.

As soon as the gunshots rang out from the opposite side, all the bullets were fired at their side, and the sneak attack on the Japanese naturally knew that this sneak attack had failed, and immediately changed to a strong attack.

"Half a load~~" shouted Long live the Japanese army was no longer bent down and sneaked around, jumped up directly, and rushed to the opposite position.

There was no automatic firepower, and with only the 38 big covers, it fell directly to the bottom in terms of firepower and was harvested by the airborne division with heavy firepower.

"The sneak attack failed, how did Zhi Na know? We've spent a day confusing them. "A Japanese wing commander was unwilling to give in, and spent a day confusing the other party on the frontal battlefield, thinking of sneaking up on the flank at night, but he still failed.

The sneak attack failed, and the forces of the flank sneak attack were changed to a strong attack, and the Japanese army rushed hard, not caring about the bullets flying over, and then was broken in two by 12.7mm bullets.

"Retreat, retreat!" Halfway through, he really couldn't rush down, Jun Cao hurriedly shouted, and at the same time blew the whistle of retreat.

After the failure of this sneak attack, until dawn, the Japanese army never came to attack again, but the defenders did not breathe a sigh of relief, stayed in their positions, and waited for the Japanese to attack again, and by the way consolidated their positions.

At 8 o'clock after dawn, the men and horses of the two sides were already ready for standby, and then the Japanese army's 92 infantry guns opened fire, and one shell after another hit the position of the airborne division.

The 92 infantry gun with a large elevation angle is almost equal to a mortar, after all, it is a howitzer itself, but the range is shorter.

The shell landed in the trenches, in a small environment, making it almost twice as powerful. The massive use of the 92 guns, with a firing time of nearly ten minutes, brought hundreds of casualties to the airborne division.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the Japanese began to attack, rushing towards the positions of the airborne division with rifles and bayonets.

After the Japanese shelling ended, the soldiers immediately drilled out of the cat's ear holes, lay on the trench, loaded their bullets, and waited for the Japanese to rush to them.

After that, the airborne division but the Japanese army fell into a stalemate, you can't help me, and I can't destroy you.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, they carried guns and "went to work" until 5 o'clock in the evening, and in the evening the airborne divisions consolidated the positions that had been beaten beyond recognition at the end of the day, and the Japanese troops also cleaned up the broken corpses, and the two sides played a sense of rhythm. In the absence of special circumstances, perhaps both sides will continue like this.

This situation lasted for a week, and it was broken, because a batch of secret equipment from the Japanese army was delivered.

Type 98 mortar gun, caliber 320mm, projectile weighs more than 300 kilograms, the full weight includes 1215 kilograms of shells, specially used to siege cities and plunder, strike fortifications, bullets have grenades and blasting points, the power is comparable to hundreds of attack bombs, but the range is too close, only more than 1100 meters.

Although it only has a range of 1100 meters, it is also extremely advanced on the battlefield, small-caliber mortars can be smashed over, and AWM can be knocked out one by one, which is completely a bayonet on a cannon. The firing range is approximately equal to the range of a mortar, and it is also as slow as a mortar, with a speed of just over a hundred meters per second. In fact, the mortar evolved from the mortar gun, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the mortar is a mortar artillery, and the Type 98 mortar is actually a super-large mortar.

Like the mortar, it also had a tray, with a thick barrel lying flat on the ground, and two Japanese soldiers pulled a shell almost a man high in a trolley, and tried to stuff it through the muzzle, like a mortar, from the muzzle. The difference is that it needs to be stimulated artificially, not by itself.

After loading, the barrels at an angle of 45 degrees were erected and pointed at the positions of the airborne division.

"Bang!" The earth fire was excited, and the 300kg warhead was instantly ejected.

on the positions of the Airborne Division.

"Why hasn't the devil fired today?" A soldier poked his head out of the trench in wonder, it was half past eight, and the Japanese army had already finished a burst of artillery and began to attack at this time.

"I don't know, but wouldn't it be better not to shoot?" The warrior beside him said unconcernedly.

"What a fart, this shows that the devil must have a conspiracy." A soldier wiping his gun rushed.

"Woo~~"

Suddenly, there was a screaming sound in the sky.

", devil shelling, hide in the bomb shelter." The probe's fighter jumped from the high trench with his helmet clutched and slipped into the nearby bomb shelter.

"Boom!" The sound was earth-shattering, no less than the explosion of a four or five hundred kilogram bomb, and there was an instantaneous crater with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters on the ground, and the smoke and dust from the explosion soared straight to the height of a building more than a dozen stories high. With the explosion as serious, all the people within a radius of 100 meters were killed, and there were also heavy casualties within 200 meters.

There was not more than one shot of this large-caliber mortar, this one was only for calibration, but the effect was very good, so twelve of these mortars opened fire on the positions of the airborne division.
