247, howitzers finally came
"Is there any canned food?"
"You want to be beautiful!"
"Zhang Chu, when will you give us some canned beef. I haven't eaten it in a long time. ”
"Don't think about it. I didn't even have to eat myself. ”
"Really?"
"Do you think I don't want to eat?"
"That's a shame!"
The car cannon and the Wanhu Mountain looked at each other.
I thought Zhang Chu was really omnipotent! It would be nice to be able to airdrop a few boxes of canned beef every day.
Alas, canned beef is really delicious! Especially the canned beef of the little devils.
Although the little devil is extremely evil, it is difficult to write about it. However, their canned beef is still very popular. Everyone scrambled for it.
From time to time, two cans of canned beef are simply heaven on earth.
"It's not without ......"
"I'll just say that Staff Officer Zhang must have a way."
"Lay down Yu County."
"Uh......"
Che Cannon and Wanhu Mountain shook their heads.
That's what you're talking about! I still need to talk about this!
We also know that there must be one in Yu County. Because Yuxian County has a lot of military supplies in reserve.
According to reconnaissance information from various quarters, what was stationed in Yuxian was the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Invaders. The commander of its brigade, Major General Taro Katayama, was in the city.
That's the general of the Japanese invaders! It's a big deal!
Since the Japanese invaded China, we have killed few Japanese generals.
Last year, it seems that two Japanese major generals were killed. One is Norihide Abe, and the other is Masao Nakamura. It's all reported.
You can see how rare it is!
If they can really kill a Japanese major general, then they will really be glorious and famous.
Unfortunately, there was not much of a chance.
To be able to kill a Japanese Sho is already remarkable.
In fact, until now, the new group of Japanese invaders who participated in the killing seems to be two. One is Nobutsu Sakata. One is Kasawara Koizumi.
"Want to eat canned food? Show what you have to do! ”
"Whoever rushed into the city first. I rewarded him with fifty canned beef! ”
A loud voice came.
The crowd hurriedly stood up.
But it was Li Yunlong who came.
Political commissar Zhao Gang and chief of staff Zhang Dabiao also came.
"Captain!"
"Commissar!"
Warm greetings.
Seeing that they were roasting sweet potatoes, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang sat down unceremoniously. Join the scramble.
Political Commissar Zhao is a Sven person. I took one first.
It's called the first strike. The rest, you guys grab it slowly. I only need the biggest one.
"Commissar, that's mine!" The car cannon suddenly became anxious.
"Is your name engraved on it?" Zhao Gang replied slowly.
"Oops, I want this!" Seeing that the car cannon was wrong, he hurriedly took away the other largest one.
It turned out to be undercooked. It's hard. I had to put it back.
Zhao Gang took out a can and gave it to him.
The car's eyes lit up suddenly. The eyes of the people around him were also shining.
Canned beef, there really is!
was about to reach out to pick it up, but was pushed away by Li Yunlong.
"This is the last time it was distributed to the political commissar, and he has been reluctant to eat it." Li Yunlong glared, "I see which of you dares to eat!" ”
The car cannon had no choice but to retract his hand. And then constantly swallow saliva.
Others are also swallowing saliva.
Come on, this is a real canned beef!
Political Commissar Zhao is reluctant to eat, but we are willing!
"Zhang Chu, it's divided!"
"Great!"
Zhang Chu immediately took the canned food.
Take out the bayonet and expertly pry the lid open. Then use the tip of a knife to pick out a piece of beef and put it in your mouth.
Ah, delicious......
It's so delicious!
It feels like one person can eat five cans!
Damn the system, the rewards for the other protagonists are bucket by bucket, but I don't have it.
The other protagonists are directly giving away weapons and equipment for free, but they still have to work hard to pick up the rags.
Everyone else has tank divisions and artillery divisions. I'm nothing.
There is only one 105-mm howitzer, which has not yet been delivered.
Depressed......
Picked another piece hard!
Delicious!
Turn grief into food......
"Hey, it's my turn! It's my turn! The car cannon hurriedly snatched the canned food over.
Learn from Zhang Chu to pick out a piece of beef with a bayonet, and then pass it all the way.
Each person is a piece. Everyone eats separately.
Because Zhang Dabiao was still observing the enemy's situation, he left it to him in the end.
Everyone tasted a piece, and immediately felt that the whole person was in good spirits.
Suddenly, there was a problem......
"What if Yuxian doesn't have fifty cans of canned beef?"
"I'll do it for you!"
"This was said by the regimental commander. Commander, you mean what you say! ”
"Of course!"
Li Yunlong is not sloppy.
Fifty canned beef, there must be one in Yuxian.
So a big county town, a brigade headquarters of the Japanese invaders, will there be fifty canned beef?
You don't take devils too seriously.
"The commander of someone else's brigade is a major general!" Zhang Chu interjected.
And they were relieved.
That's right, this is the devil's major general!
This time it's like catching a turtle in an urn......
"Zhang Chu, what's going on?" Li Yunlong staggered the topic, "Why do you let those boys tinker with themselves!" ”
He was talking about those heavy mortars.
Zhang Chu left it all to the soldiers to ponder and study by themselves.
The principle is the same anyway.
As long as you're not stupid, you'll definitely be able to learn how to operate.
"Not so." Zhang Chu said bluntly, "I don't have three heads and six arms. You can't do everything yourself! Didn't the pillar come? The artillery was handed over to the columns. ”
"The pillar is still behind. Those mountain cannons are not easy to move......"
"Actually......"
Zhang Chu wanted to speak and stopped.
He wanted to say, you don't actually have to carry mountain cannons.
You leave the mountain artillery somewhere safe, and the troops arrive lightly. Then I'll give you weapons and equipment.
But then I thought about it, and I didn't say it.
The main reason is that if I say this, and I can't do it in the end, it will be over.
Heavy weapons had to be delivered by mule and horse teams. However, the delivery time of the mule and horse team has been delayed. It's a difficult time to manage. Caution must be exercised.
If the column they came empty-handed, it turned out that there were no cannons and no shells. That's going to make the army feel uneasy.
If it was placed in ancient times, this was a lie about the military situation, and it was to be beheaded for public display.
"What caliber mortar?"
"Twelve."
"120 mm?"
"Yes!"
"How many are there?"
"Twelve."
"So much?"
"And a 105-mm howitzer."
"What?"
Zhao Gang immediately felt that the roasted sweet potato in his mouth was not fragrant.
Everyone around me has also forgotten about canned beef. Including Li Yunlong. There's only one message in my mind -
105mm howitzer?
Howitzer?
Not a mortar?
"Ten cents howitzer. American. It is similar to the German-made 105-mm howitzer equipped by the National Army. ”
"Really?"
"Really. But there is only one. ”
"When will it arrive?"
"Wait!"
Zhang Chu couldn't say the exact time.
The only thing that can be done now is to wait. and other mortar bombardment effects. Wait for the arrival of 105mm howitzers.
"The devil's bunker is very strong."
"The seven-mile mountain cannon is probably useless."
At this time, Chief of Staff Zhang Dabiao came over.
Just now, he had been observing the effects of heavy mortar bombardment. Hope for a miracle.
Unfortunately, there are not many miracles.
120-mm mortars were very destructive to infantry, to civil fortifications. A single shot can kill and injure a group of Japanese criminals.
The problem is that in the face of strong stone bunkers, they are still overwhelmed.
This kind of pillbox must be fired directly by howitzers or cannons.
When the Japanese were building these bunkers, they did not pay attention to hiding. So, it's all towering outward. Can shoot straight at the point.
"Is Wang Zhe here?"
"It's already here!"
"That's good!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
Wang Zhe is a professional artilleryman. He knows how to operate howitzers.
The car cannon looks at the watch.
Wanhu Mountain looks at the watch.
Then I looked at Zhang Chu again. Bite one's tongue.
"What?"
"Can you hurry up?"
"I want to hurry too. But ......"
Zhang Chu replied stupidly.
Suddenly, I saw a soldier hurrying to report. Said it was a howitzer coming. I want to find Zhang Chu to hand over.
The crowd immediately stood up and rushed to see what was going on.
Zhang Chu was the slowest.
Sure enough, it was a 105-mm howitzer that arrived.
In total, two cars.
One is a tractor. Towing howitzers in front.
One is an ammunition truck. Responsible for pulling the shells.
Two cars can also seat people. You can take a cannon squad. About ten or so people.
"Comrade Zhang Chu, the howitzer is delivered!"
"Thank you!"
Zhang Chu sent the tool man away.
Then take a closer look at the detailed data on the howitzer. It must be remembered.
Artillery caliber: 105 mm;
Overall length of artillery: 5991 mm (on march);
Full weight of the gun: 2300 kg;
Directional firing boundary: 45 degrees, high and low firing boundary: -5~+65 degrees
Muzzle velocity: 472 m/s (grenade: bullet weight 15 kg, explosion power 20~30 meters, ammunition base 250 rounds);
Maximum rate of fire: 16 rounds / min;
Maximum firing range: 11160 meters.
If you just look at the data, you may think it's okay.
However, if it is compared with the 105 mm heavy cannon of the Japanese invaders, it is very disadvantaged in terms of range.
Fortunately, in this part of Yuxian County, the Japanese did not have 105-mm heavy cannons. You can avoid its edge.
"Good fellows! It's really a cannon! ”
"This is a veritable cannon! Those are all mountain artillery! ”
"It's a pity that there is only one ......"
"yes, it would be nice if there was an artillery regiment......"
"Zhang Chu ......"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Chu again.
Zhang Chu only smiled bitterly.
I'd like to have a heavy artillery regiment too.
Who wouldn't?
But the concubine can't do it!
At the moment, this 105mm howitzer is still a reward for killing a Kichiki.
If it is a normal upgrade, there are very restrictive conditions.
In the short term, it is simply impossible to equip on a large scale.
"Don't even shout!"
"In the past, we didn't even have mountain artillery, so we didn't fight devils!"
"Now there are mountain artillery, and there are howitzers! If you don't take down Yuxian, it's not as good as before! ”
"That's right! Talent is the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war......"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gangfu sang with their wives.
With this 105-mm howitzer, it will be much easier to take Yuxian.
"Wang Zhe!"
"Here!"
"I'll give you the command!"
"Yes!"
Wang Zhe, with more than thirty people, unloaded the 105-mm howitzer.
Zhang Chu was pleasantly surprised to find that there were actually a few artillerymen who could drive. They actually know how to drive the car to the side and hide.
The main thing is to hide from the Japanese planes.
"They are all former artillery of the Northeast Army. There are also cars. ”
"No wonder ......"
Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as someone can drive. Otherwise, it's useless to have a cannon.
Ready for launch.
"Boom!"
The first cannon ejected the chamber.
Shoot directly at the bunker of the Japanese invaders.
There was a loud bang.
A gap was blown open in the bunker.
"Boom!"
Moments later, the second shell exploded.
A stone bunker was blasted through a huge gap. Eventually, it collapsed with a bang.
"Nani?"
Katayama was taken aback.
Heavy artillery has been transferred from Tubalu? Or a direct-shot gun?
Damn it!
There is actually a heavy artillery on the Eighth Road, or a direct-fire cannon!
Hurriedly asked Saburo Saito for help.
However, there was no call back.
But it was Saburo Saito who deliberately pressed the telegram.
The current situation is that there will be no change in the deployment of Japanese troops.
Yuxian can only hold on and wait for help.
It held out until the Japanese army defeated the other Tsuhachi routes and freed up their hands.
"Reinforcements have departed."
However, later, Saburo Saito still gave Katayama a hope.
However, Katayama would not have thought that there was no so-called reinforcements. It's just a message of comfort.
And with the bombardment of howitzers, Yuxian is already crumbling.
