The Type 92 infantry gun is a very excellent weapon in the armament of the army, known as "one inch short, one inch dangerous". It was an "ideal" infantry battalion support weapon in the thirty-fourth of the twentieth century. This is especially true for countries with very low levels of mechanization. Plus, it's perfect for use on complex terrain. For example, for infantry battalion support in mountain warfare, it is very handy. Moreover, it has a wide range of tasks, and can cover almost all types of fire support required by an infantry battalion. Coupled with the simple structure, it is not only convenient for wartime production, but also easy to use and maintain.

The Type 92 infantry gun weighed only 0.212 tons, so the requirements for transportation were low, and in the absence of vehicles, untrained animal or manpower could be towed forward. In addition to the fact that it can be disassembled for transportation, the requirements for road conditions in the war zone are almost reduced to a minimum. It can be said that the Type 92 infantry gun is an infantry gun that can truly accompany the infantry battalion in combat unconditionally.

The Type 92 infantry gun is a very short gun, its overall height is only 62 cm, and this is the height of the shield. If the shield is removed, the overall height drops to about 50 centimeters - this is about the same height as a heavy machine gun. This means that the Type 92 infantry gun can be easily hidden. This is a very useful advantage for infantry artillery that needs to fight in the line of fire. Taking advantage of this advantage, the Type 92 infantry gun can be deployed covertly at a very close distance from the enemy's target, giving full play to the accurate, sudden and fierce surnames of firepower. And give the infantry the support they need at the first time. (Specifically, this tactic is the bayonet on the cannon that our army is very famous in the war of liberation)

The firing range of the Type 92 infantry gun is very wide: 90 degrees laterally, and the angle of fire is almost 90 degrees. This is mainly due to the small size and light weight of the Type 92 infantry gun, coupled with the low center of gravity. Therefore, it can withstand a relatively large range of firing angle adjustment. Flexible application of firing angles, especially said to be able to reach elevation angles of more than 80 degrees, the Type 92 infantry gun can shoot at almost all types of targets: flat fire can be used as a cannon, which is enough to deal with civil fortifications and general masonry fortifications, and although the muzzle velocity of the shells is a little lower, it is still powerful enough to hit unprotected vehicles and armored vehicles; The warp can be used as a howitzer (it was originally a howitzer). It can be used as a mortar when firing at large elevation angles. The maximum angle of fire of many mortars is only 85 degrees, because the Type 92 infantry gun is a howitzer, the trajectory is much more stable than the mortar, so the accuracy is much better than the mortar of the same caliber level (80 ~ 82 mm), and at the same time, with the help of high firing angle, when fighting in the mountains, the Type 92 infantry gun can be conveniently deployed on the anti-slope position, so that it can not only provide timely support firepower for its own troops on the ridge line or frontal position, but also hide itself well. (The army used it this way, and the volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea also used it like this).

Don't look at the Type 92 infantry gun itself is super light, and the shells fired are not light at all. The high-explosive bomb weighed 3.8 kg. It is on the same level as the general 75 mm barreled artillery and the high explosive shell of the 80 mm mortar. This gave the Type 92 infantry gun a relatively high power (relative to caliber and weight).

In fact, judging from the overall surname, in addition to the weight and volume, the Type 92 infantry cannon is lagging behind the Western infantry cannon of the same caliber and canon and howitzer (of course, it is not too backward), but the quality of the weapon depends on the use environment. In Asia, the level of road traffic and the transportation capacity of the army are far inferior to the same 2-ton artillery in Europe. In this case, in the proportion of the value factor of artillery, the mobile surname is in a relatively high position. At this point, the Type 92 infantry gun did a good job. Moreover, in the battles in Asia, the combat intensity of artillery is far lower than that of Europe, and the living environment of artillery is much better than that of Europe, so the Type 92 infantry gun can make up for its lack of range, accuracy and power by firing at close range. And give full play to its multi-purpose characteristics, turning "surname can be average = surname can be mediocre" into "surname can be average = everything is common", which truly reflects the characteristics of "one inch short, one inch dangerous".

The Type 92 infantry gun was developed from 1928, but it was not until July 1932 that it was officially finalized and mass-produced. At this time, it was March 1933, which means that the Type 92 infantry artillery had just been equipped with troops, and the 8th Division was given priority equipment due to its participation in the Battle of Rehe. The 17th Infantry Wing of the 8th Division was therefore very fortunate to be equipped with six Type 92 infantry guns.

Just when Tian Lei was still laughing at Chen Zhenpeng's inability to fight, Chen Zhenpeng's lungs were about to explode! shouted loudly, "How did this Tian Lei do it, will he fight, the little devil just dispatched a team, and he exposed all our light and heavy firepower to the enemy!" Go and tell him to pay attention to the artillery, the shelling of the little devil is about to begin. Chen Zhenpeng now finally knows why so many Northeast armies were defeated so quickly, not only because some people treason to the enemy or flee from the battlefield, but also because the stupidity of the commanders below is also a very important reason.

To say that most of the current Chinese soldiers are men with blood surnames, veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and their real combat effectiveness is no worse than that of little devils. But as soon as the officer ran away, the soldiers below naturally collapsed under the leaderless, and most of the Chinese soldiers at this time were illiterate, and the concept of the nation and the country was quite vague. And the people in power are more interested in their own domination, restricting the development of the soldiers' minds, resulting in some warlord forces being reduced to purely violent institutions. In such a unit, once the officers can't resist the temptation and surrender, then the soldiers below will naturally blindly follow and become Han Annihilation.

Tian Lei Zhengzhi looked at the retreating army in a hurry, and a soldier came over and reported, "Camp! Head Chen called, let you answer it personally! ”

Tian Lei waved his hand impatiently and said, "Got it!" Then he strode towards the battalion headquarters.

As soon as Tian Lei took the phone, he said excitedly, "Commander Chen, our department has successfully repelled the first attack of the little devil!" ”

Chen Zhenpeng, who was on the other end of the phone, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Battalion Commander Tian, the little devil's attack just now was just a tentative attack, if I guessed correctly, the little devil is about to carry out an artillery bombardment, please organize the troops to defend against artillery immediately!" ”

"I see!" I thought that Chen Zhenpeng would praise himself, but I didn't expect that as soon as Chen Zhenpeng opened his mouth, he reminded himself to prevent the shelling of the little devil! Tian Lei hung up the phone angrily, snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I really treat myself as a green onion! I actually taught Lao Tzu a lesson! If it weren't for the brigade's orders, do you think Lao Tzu would listen to you? Don't pee and take a picture of what you are! (To be continued.) )
