Type 89 grenadier canister, effective range of 500 meters, maximum range of 700 meters, maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, burst rate of fire of three seconds three rounds, special Type 89 grenade weight of 800 grams, charge of 145 grams, the inside of the projectile body is engraved with prefabricated fragmentation slots, can produce about 100 prefabricated fragments.

Thanks to the manufacturing process of the system, the Type 89 grenadier canister currently equipped by the independent regiment has an effective firing range of 550 meters when using the Type 89 grenade produced by the same system.

already

At five hundred and fifty meters, an experienced shooter is able to hit with relative accuracy.

Boom...

In just three seconds, six Type 89 grenades were pushed into the sky, crossed an arc, and landed in the queue of the Beijing Brigade.

"Let's go."

After six rapid shots, Wang Gensheng didn't even look at the landing point, and led the team to run.

There are 600 devils here!

There are also roaming devil vigilantes around.

Once caught up, the monk is afraid that he will not be able to escape.

···

Boom Boom · ·

As soon as Wang Gensheng left, six grenades exploded in the ranks of devils.

At a distance of 500 meters, two grenadiers, three rapid shots, a total of six grenades, only one hit the ranks of the devil's marching army.

The remaining five rounds were fired in an uninhabited open field.

Although the manufacturing accuracy and process of the system are guaranteed, the inherent accuracy of the grenadier is poor, and even Wang Gensheng, the top three grenadier in the regiment, is difficult to ensure effective accuracy.

Fortunately, although the Type 89 grenade is inferior to the 60 mortar, its power is also greater than that of the German-made M24 grenade, with an effective killing range of 15 meters in diameter and an absolute lethal radius of about 5 meters.

One devil was killed on the spot, three devils were seriously injured, and several were slightly injured.

A detachment, half of which is directly gone.

"Yaga."

"Chase!"

The sound of the explosion frightened Kitai Nakasa, and he subconsciously fell to the ground.

He didn't expect that the attack of the Eighth Route Army was actually a grenadier, and it was a rapid fire of six rounds when they met.

Reacting, he immediately ordered the troops to pursue.

Dozens of devils immediately carried the 38 big covers, shooting while chasing.

A dense row of bullets swept through the woods, shooting at Wang Gensheng and the five who fled in the distance, and then landed on the loess mountain bag, splashing a series of soil debris.

Not a single bullet hit, hitting the target.

At a distance of 500 meters, moving the target at high speed, let alone a devil, even if it is Wang Xikui.

The two devil detachments on the same side were also preparing to outflank and encircle.

It's just that those who can participate in this attack are all top-notch reconnaissance experts selected by Zhang Dabiao, who are as flexible as monkeys in the mountains, and soon disappear from the devil's field of vision.

"Stop the pursuit."

Helpless, Kitai Nakasa could only order the troops to stop the pursuit.

Not to mention that this mission is to quickly support the Xiazhuang stronghold and drive out the devils who surround the Xiazhuang stronghold.

Even if there was no reinforcement mission, Kitai Nakasa did not dare to let the troops get too far off the road and continue to pursue deep into the complex mountainous area.

This is no longer the case.

Today's dirt eight roads, weapons and ammunition are abundant.

This is already beginning to enter the Taiyue Mountains, surrounded by complex and rugged steep mountains, is the base of the Tuba Road, is the old nest of the Tuba Road, they are very familiar with the terrain, rash pursuit, will only fall into an ambush.

"Two people were killed, one was seriously injured, and three were slightly injured."

During the pursuit, a devil was seriously wounded and already cold.

The casualty statistics made Kitai Nakasa's face gloomy by five points again.

Cold guns are not difficult to deal with.

He commanded a brigade with a strength of more than five hundred people, as long as the enemy dared to shoot, after discovering the position, he organized a group of more than a hundred people to counterattack and suppress, and then organized troops to outflank, and the attackers could be easily eliminated.

But grenadiers.

The grenade grenade is a parabolic trajectory that can be fired from behind cover, and in this complex Taiyue Mountains, he may not be able to detect the enemy's position in time.

The maximum firing range is 700 meters, and after the attack, the enemy has enough time and space to retreat, and if he wants to catch up, this is not a plain, which is not suitable for cavalry pursuit.

"Keep going!"

Taking a deep breath, Kitai Nakasa ordered.

Deep down, he tends to retreat.

Although it is not clear what the strength of the Tubalu army surrounded the Xiazhuang stronghold, it is inevitable that the strength will not be weak if not a single cavalry communication soldier can be sent out of the squadron of Nan Shangzhi.

And if you continue to move forward, you will inevitably encounter the attack of the Eight Roads.

In this terrain, he has almost no means of counteraction.

But Kitai knew he had no choice.

Either move on and rescue the besieged Xiazhuang stronghold.

Or, retreat and ask for tactical guidance from above.

Brigade headquarters, because the Xiye squadron was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in Songjiazhuang, seven kilometers away from Liao County, last time, and the Beijing Brigade did not have time to support him, he was very dissatisfied with it.

Did the Locust Army underestimate the Eighth Route Army too much?

Suddenly, a thought came to Captain Kiti's mind.

Xiazhuang stronghold, deep into the core area of Tuba Road, 25 kilometers from the Taiyue Mountains.

Located in the heart of the enemy.

However, whether it was the wing headquarters, the brigade headquarters, or the headquarters of the First Army, they all felt that there would be no problem for him to penetrate 20 kilometers into the enemy's core area with a brigade of only 600 imperial troops.

"Spread the vigilance."

Gradually realizing that the situation was not good, Kitai Nakasa took a deep breath and decisively abandoned the idea of quickly reinforcing the Xiazhuang stronghold, and ordered the troops to slow down and spread a large area of alert in order to deal with a possible attack at any time.

With Beijing's order, nearly six hundred devils began to advance slowly in a fighting posture, and a large number of devils spread out to both wings, searching all the surrounding trails and suspicious locations.

After confirming the security, it will pass.

A Type 92 infantry gun of the artillery squad was also assembled and ready for fire support.

····

"These little devils are really hard to deal with."

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Wang Gensheng looked through the telescope at the Devil Beijing Brigade that was slowly advancing along the road, spreading its wings and slowly advancing, and his brows furrowed deeply.

The devil marched in battle formation, marching slowly as if attacking an enemy position.

It's hard for him to get a start.

In this case, if you continue to forcibly attack, there is a high probability that you will be surrounded by devils and you won't be able to run away.

"Then we..."

Some team members are unwilling.

This time, the five of them brought two grenadiers, 30 grenades, and two team members with mules to transport more than 100 grenades to replenish.

It was somewhat unwilling to abandon the attack.

"Just keep an eye on the devil."

"Our task is to delay the little devils."

Wang Gensheng's tone was relaxed.

Although the weapons and equipment of the troops have improved recently, the little devils are not bad, and they want to drive the devils away by relying on cold guns and cold guns, or kill and injure a large number of devils, there is no such possibility.

The little devil is not so easy to deal with.

But that's okay.

The task given to them by the battalion commander was to delay the little devils, not kill them.

Now the devil's Beijing brigade is marching slowly, and it is good to be able to advance one kilometer in an hour, and at the end of the day, it will advance seven or eight kilometers at most, and it will take three days to reach the Xiazhuang stronghold.

Their task has been accomplished.

"Inform Liu Shun."

Wang Gensheng said to a soldier with a walkie-talkie behind him:

"Tell him what's going on here."

"Tell him again that we will take turns to attack, and delay the devil's march as fast as possible while ensuring our own safety."

An order from the regiment commander, if it is not necessary, try to avoid exchanging one with the devil.

Not cost-effective.

"Yes!"

The soldier with the walkie-talkie on his back immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and began to make contact.

···

That day.

The Beijing Brigade profoundly experienced the difficulties of marching in the mountains.

Taiyue Mountains.

It is not inferior to the majestic and dangerous Taihang Mountains.

The mountains are high and steep, the forests are dense, and the terrain is complex.

The march itself was already very difficult.

From time to time, grenades will be thrown out from both wings.

Although the North Well Brigade spread out and maintained the highest alert, the enemy had to attack at a longer distance, and the threat was much smaller, but there were too many grenades, which still caused a lot of trouble.

At night, when he found a village to camp on flat ground, Kitai Nakasa counted that at the end of the day, he had marched less than seven kilometers and had been attacked by more than 150 grenade grenades.

Although except for the first time, the subsequent casualties are very small,

However, more than 150 rounds still caused five imperial casualties, one of which was seriously injured and one was broken.

At the end of the day, there were ten locust casualties, three jade shattered, two seriously wounded, and five lightly wounded.

Morale has also had a serious impact.

"Yaga."

Scolded irritably, and after arranging the vigilance, Kitai Nakazo fell asleep tiredly.

···

The next day.

In the face of the mountainous areas on both flanks, grenades that burst out from time to time, the Beijing Brigade was still marching very slowly.

By the end of the evening, although the density of the Tubalu attacks had not decreased, and more than 100 grenades and grenades had been fired again, the casualties of the Beijing Brigade had been further reduced, with only two people slightly injured and one seriously wounded.

But at the end of the day, it was only a little more than five kilometers long.

At this time, the Beijing Brigade was still ten kilometers away from the Xiazhuang stronghold.

And today, it is the seventh day that the Xiazhuang stronghold has been surrounded.

···

"Can't wait any longer."

"Break out tonight."

It was eight o'clock that night.

In the Xiazhuang stronghold, the man who had not drunk water for four consecutive days, and his lips were dry and staggered, gritted his teeth and decided to break through tonight.

Reinforcements from the brigade were delayed.

Continue to wait, without the Tubalu attack, there will be people in the Xiazhuang stronghold who will die of thirst.

"Break out tonight!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and all the devils clenched the 38 big cover in their hands, ready to break out of the encirclement.

"Break through from the left."

O Kami made a breakthrough plan:

"The Tubalu has the least number of troops here, and it is the weak point of their encirclement."

"There is also a pond on the left side that can be replenished as quickly as possible."

"Do it at night."

····

Meanwhile.

Ding Shenggui was organizing a meeting of company platoon commanders.

"The devil doesn't seem to have enough water?"

"I see that all the devils have chapped lips, and they obviously haven't drunk water for a long time."

Ding Shenggui was keenly aware of the devil's situation.

"yes, I found out too."

The platoon commanders said one after another.

They all saw it.

"According to the report of the first battalion, the devil reinforcements have not yet arrived at their blocking position, and they are still being attacked and harassed by small forces, marching slowly."

"I estimate that the devils in the Xiazhuang stronghold are very likely to break through."

"Let's go back and get ready."

"The little devil knows that we have a lot of firepower, and we will definitely break through at night."

"First battalion commander, your position is a weak point in the camouflaged position, and there is a high probability that the devil will break through from your side, pay attention to strengthening vigilance."

"Yes!"
