Chapter 84: Bombarding the little devils
Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, commander of the 3rd Division, was about to convene a meeting of the commanders of the various units he had received to discuss the next battle plan, when he suddenly heard the sound of distant gunfire.
Hurriedly shouted: "It's an artillery position, send someone to support it!"
Fujita Jin's subordinates heard that the artillery array was raided by the enemy, and one by one they also ran out to send people to support, especially Fuji Yizuo of the heavy artillery wing is now frightened and white, if these heavy artillery are blown up by the enemy, then he can only commit suicide by seppuku to thank the emperor, he has just been promoted to Dazuo, and if he wins a few more battles, then he can be promoted to major general, and the major general is also a general.
These damned Chinese, my general's dream! Fuji Osaku wailed in his heart, and he had already rushed out of the headquarters towards the artillery position. At this time, Dapeng and they had successfully taken the devil's artillery position.
"Hurry up, shake the barrel of the cannon down, hurry up!" Looking at the devil reinforcements who had already rushed to this side, Dapeng yelled in a hurry.
"Whoever can shoot artillery, and those who can shoot artillery, stand up and bombard the headquarters of the little devil for me!"
"Sir, I will, I will shoot artillery!" Xiong Er carried a crooked handle and ran over excitedly, but when he saw more than a dozen large-caliber field guns swinging out in front of him, he had only operated 60 mortars before, but he had never seen a field howitzer like this, let alone could use it. At that moment, Xiong Er scratched his head and said, "Boss, I won't do this, I will only use mortars." "Artillery has always been a scarce branch of the national army in the battle sequence. What's more, with this kind of large-caliber field artillery, there are more than 200 divisions of the national army, and there are only a handful of main divisions equipped with howitzers.
Dapeng said frankly: "Let's put down the barrel and shoot the same as a gun, loading, aiming, shooting, how simple, don't ink, we don't have time, hurry!" While saying, he squatted in front of a 105mm caliber field howitzer, turned the hinge hard, and in the sound of the gear bite of "Titicaca", the muzzle of the gun that was originally pointing to the night sky was slowly lowered.
This is Lao Zhou, who also rushed in, watched Dapeng turn the winch, and said: "That's a direct-fire cannon, and a direct-fire cannon is a simple word." But this is a curved artillery, and you have to measure the range of the curved artillery, and then calculate the angle of fire according to the distance, which is all technical work, so I'll do it. Dapeng said: "Even if it is a curved artillery, can't it be used as a direct-fire cannon?" As he spoke, Dapeng had already shaken the firing angle of a field cannon to a horizontal state, and the muzzle of the cannon pointed directly at the headquarters of the devil. Then run to another cannon and swing a field cannon. While shaking, Dapeng shouted at the surrounding national troops: "Why are they still stunned one by one, hurry up and take a hand, shake down the barrel and face the reinforcements of the devils in front, move quickly! Let them rush into close quarters, we won't survive." ”
Lao Zhou reminded again: "Dapeng, the trajectory of the curved gun is parabolic, so the inclination angle of the barrel should be slightly higher than that of the devil, otherwise the shell will fall in front of the devil." Dapeng shook his head and said: "You can't be wrong if you listen to me, no matter how close the distance is, all adjust it to a horizontal angle!"
Even if it is a curved artillery, the trajectory is a parabola only when firing at a long distance, and the curvature of the trajectory is almost negligible when firing horizontally at a close distance of two kilometers, and the distance between the artillery position and the devil's headquarters is even less than two kilometers. As he spoke, Dapeng had already shaken the firing angle of the second field gun to a horizontal level, and then adjusted the crosshair, so that the muzzle of the cannon pointed straight ahead, aiming at the reinforcements that the devil had rushed in. Lao Zhou and his soldiers had already lowered the barrels of the rest of the artillery, and the crosshairs had been adjusted, all aiming at the devil reinforcements in front.
Of course, it is only a rough aim, and it is impossible to achieve precise aiming like a rifle. Then Dapeng opened the cannon door, turned his head and yelled at Xiong Er: "Cannonball, Xiong Er quickly load me!" Xiong Er heard Dapeng tell him to rush forward, opened the cartridge box covered with oilcloth next to it, took out a 105mm caliber grenade and handed it to Dapeng, Dapeng stuffed the shell into the gun chamber as quickly as possible, closed the gun door, and then pulled the cannon rope fiercely, and the cannon slammed, and spit out a fierce flame from the muzzle.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed directly in the crowd of devils who were rushing, and then there was a "boom" explosion, and the devils in the center of the shell were instantly blown into powder. The little devil within 50 meters in diameter was directly shocked to death.
"Yaga!" Fuji Osa, who was walking behind, saw the enemy bombarding his troops with his own howitzers, and the hairs on his body stood up in an instant, and he immediately roared hoarsely: "Evacuate, emergency evacuation......" However, before Fuji Osa could speak, dozens of shells had already swept into the air with the screaming sound of "Ao, Ao, Ao", and the fiery shells dragged out dazzling lights in the night sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
At this time, the reinforcements from the devils were only less than a kilometer away from the artillery position, and what did it mean to be hit by a 105-caliber cannon at such a close distance? What was even more fatal was that the devil chariot convoy and the devils of the brigade that rushed up at this time did not evacuate at all! Dapeng only needed a few rounds of rapid artillery bombardment to wipe out their entire army! Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the reason why the Japanese army has been able to crush the national army has been overwhelming, and the artillery has played an immeasurable role in attacking the city.
In Fuji Ichisa's shocked eyes, more than a dozen huge cannonballs whistled in. Some even went straight over his head to the division headquarters behind him, and "boom, boom......" followed by continuous violent explosions. The huge firelight, the thick gunsmoke, and the rolling air waves instantly devoured the chariots and little devils that the devils rushed to support. Fuji Ichisa looked at the cannonballs that came straight at him like rain, and exclaimed, "It's over!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the cannonballs slashed out the fire to illuminate the sky, Dapeng saw that the little devils who rushed had not completely dispersed, and shouted excitedly: "Quick, hurry up and fire the cannons, while the team of the little devils has not dispersed, give me a hard beating, you want to save the cannonballs, and shoot them all out for me." When he spoke, he was not satisfied with the movements of his hands, and he stuffed another cannonball into the barrel of the cannon, and pulled the rope. "Boom!"
Immediately followed by the explosion of "boom boom" in the crowd of devils, the little devils were immediately killed and injured, and the tanks and trucks of the little devils in front of them were the targets of Dapeng's key care, in a burst of explosions, they were either blown into scrap metal or directly detonated the ammunition in the chariot, causing a secondary explosion, and the tank fragments that were blown apart harvested the lives of the devils around, and a large piece of death.
