Chapter Twenty-Five: The War Begins
Wang Yuzhu, the captain of the grenadier team of the independent regiment, greeted his brother behind him.
Wang Feng likes the pillar very much, so he exchanged it, but he didn't expect this guy to catch up with the price of the second battalion commander and the second battalion commander.
But it's worth the money, because this cargo is a thief!
An ultralight mortar of 50 mm caliber, fully capable of single operation.
The orders in the regiment have not allowed their artillery units to attack, and the brothers are holding it in their stomachs, and now, it is finally time for their artillery to attack.
On weekdays, the ammunition they train every day, if they let others know, they may be scolded as losers, even if it is only a 50 mm caliber shell, but this thing, if you buy it outside, it is still an astronomical amount.
Those like them who are artillerymen, the monthly salary is four oceans, which is twice as much as the brothers of the infantry, this can't be helped, this thing has technical content, not everyone can be an artilleryman, and their weekday training projects are more than those of the infantry, as well as the study of mortar tactics in the team, no wonder the regiment commander gives the artillery a high salary.
As rumored in the army now, the independent regiment is making every effort to develop a 75-mm mountain gun, and if the mountain gun is officially mass-produced, then the artillery will definitely be selected from their group.
Artillery, the king of war.
The artillery produced by the Krupp Arsenal of the Hans Empire brought an impact on the Hans Empire's army that was by no means comparable to the infantry.
Larger caliber, longer range, stronger deterrence, human fear of artillery has always existed since ancient times!
"Almost, one hundred and fifty meters away!!"
The pillar's grasp of distance is extremely good, and the regiment commander taught them some tips for comparing distances, and the thumb can calculate the approximate distance as long as it is compared, which is of course also the reason why he is smart.
The current standard equipment of the independent regiment is a standard infantry battalion with a grenadier squad of 26 people and eight 50 mm caliber grenadiers.
There are also five Type 89 rifles, each equipped with an 88 pistol as standard, even if the 50mm grenadier can be operated by a single soldier.
However, for the speed of fire on the battlefield, the independent regiment was still equipped with two people, one for loading and one for calibrating the angle of fire.
At the same time, two grenadiers, one of whom was responsible for the transportation of the shells, plus the necessary defense soldiers, together formed the grenadier squad.
"Captain, I heard that the explosion effect of the improved shells is much stronger than that of the previous generation of shells, and the regiment commander also approved some high-explosive shells and flares!"
The development of the independent regiment is a miracle for the pillar, this time last year, he was still farming at home (system implantation), but he did not expect that a year later, he would join the army......
"Stinky boy, be careful for me, in case this enemy artillery discovers us, and when the time comes, the daughter-in-law you are thinking about will not be seen."
The pillar also joked, and the tension of the brothers below was also dispersed, and the sky was getting dark, and it was not a good choice for the artillery to be dispatched at this time.
"Regiment commander, you see, it's dark, the enemy's artillery is not night owls, if you can see us, there will be ghosts, but let's shoot a few rounds of flares later, these rabbit cubs from Los Angeles are really live targets, we see them, they can't see us!"
"Yes, regimental commander, I heard that this time the high-explosive bomb has an excellent killing effect......
Wang Feng looked back, they were already at a good distance from the infantry, there were no trenches to cover in this place, and they had to start attacking.
The pillar checked the shells around him again, the barrel supports, and the shells packed in wooden boxes, one by one, neatly arranged, all of which were produced by the Dangshan Ordnance Factory itself.
"Start attacking!"
Wang Feng also made a quick decision and immediately issued an attack order, and the operation process that he was familiar with on weekdays may be because of the darkness, or it may be because of the victory achieved by the infantry with the help of heavy machine guns just now, so that many recruits did not feel afraid.
It's even better than the state of training!!
With the help of the igniting gunpowder at the bottom, the huge impact force made the first flare, which sounded rapidly, and the flare dragging the long tail seemed to be like an attack signal on the battlefield, accompanied by the sound of surging and tearing bullets on the entire battlefield, pushing the whole situation to a climax.
Zhu Zi never imagined that he would lead the artillery and charge on the battlefield, which was more exciting and meaningful than farming in his hometown in the past.
No matter what, he's going to pick up his military uniform!
Overhead, the blazing white light turned the originally darkened sky into a white sun visible to the naked eye......
At the same time, the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the regimental mountain artillery company, and the artillery of the Independent Regiment, which had never opened fire, could no longer bear it at this moment.
"Let the shells fly for a while..."
Despite the menacing presence of the 10th Mountain Artillery of the 10th Division, the large number of mortars of the Independent Regiment seemed to fill the sky with fiery red from the north, west, and south.
"Bastard!"
"The independent regiment actually has artillery, hasn't it been investigated, the independent regiment is not equipped with artillery, which bastard swore to me!"
Song Zhongyi didn't need a telescope at all, and as soon as the flares of the independent regiment were lifted into the air, the situation on the entire battlefield was clear at a glance......
The frontal strength of the independent regiment seemed to rush out of the trench with the loud sound of the trumpet just now.........
Not only that, but what is terrible is that in the western part of the battlefield, in the northern part of the battlefield......
I also saw the trajectory of the cannonballs flying and heard the sound of cannonballs......
There was only one thought in my mind: I was surrounded.
It is very likely that one of their divisions will be surrounded, and this idea, once formed in the head, will never linger again.
A division was surrounded by a regiment, Song Zhongyi really couldn't believe it...... How many people are there in a regiment?
Tom tom ...
Tom tom ...
The booming shells instantly smashed into the enemy's 10th Division, which had become a mess of porridge, and the 2nd Division, which had no cover, became a group of prey waiting to be killed......
It's hopeless......
Song Zhongyi had already lost the war from the moment he decided to attack the whole division, and the blame was that the firepower of the Independent Regiment was too well hidden, and it was impossible for anyone to believe that the Independent Regiment could withstand the charge of an elite division......
"Withdraw, if you don't withdraw, there will be no one left......"
This war has already been lost, Jin Jinhua really wants to kill Song Zhongyi at this moment, damn it, this idiot, if Song Zhongyi hadn't let all the four regiments of the Second Division rush forward, how could he have lost so quickly.
The Separate Regiment even got artillery.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat, charge me, Jin Jinhua, if you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will strain you with one shot!"
Song Zhongyi has gone crazy, this feeling of failure is like a great irony for Song Zhongyi, he actually lost to Wang Feng, a small independent regiment, returned to the county seat of De......
"I said Chief of Staff, don't be stubborn, you see, do we still have a chance of winning now, come on, escort the Chief of Staff away, and return to Los Angeles overnight!"
The offensive of the enemy's 10th Division was like a surging tide, coming and going in a hurry, and I don't know who revealed the news, saying that Chief of Staff Song Zhongyi and Division Commander Jin Jinhua had already fled......
The troops of the 10th Division who resisted head-on no longer had the heart to continue fighting. Surrender? It seems to be the best choice!
