Chapter 196 The fear of being dominated by cannons! (Part 2)
Cannon is called the god of war.
During World War II, 80% of casualties were caused by artillery.
In this age of war where cannon is justice and caliber is truth.
The cannon is undoubtedly a support weapon with great deterrence and support capabilities.
"Today, we will cover the Japanese stronghold with artillery fire."
Wei Dayong said while controlling the mountain cannon.
Artillery fire coverage...
The soldiers all blushed with excitement. When they attacked the Banjin Brigade, the scene of more than a dozen artillery fires was still vivid in their minds.
The feeling of seeing a cannonball land in the middle of a crowd of Japs and then explode, reaping the lives of the Japs, I must say, is simply wonderful.
The biggest flaw of the Type 41 mountain gun is the lack of stability when shooting at large elevation angles.
The Type 94 mountain gun uses a parallel gun mount design with a hydraulic retraction device, which not only solves the stability problem but also increases the horizontal firing range of the gun.
At the same time, designs such as a horizontal wedge-type breech block and a single-layer self-tightening tube were adopted, which greatly improved the range and accuracy of the Type 94 compared to the previous Type 41.
After fixing the muzzle elevation, Wei Dayong came to the Type 92 infantry gun again.
Compared with the 75mm mountain gun, although it is not as powerful, the Type 92 infantry gun is lighter and more flexible and can shoot almost all types of targets.
When used as a cannon, the flat shot is sufficient to deal with civil and masonry fortifications, as well as unprotected vehicles and armored vehicles.
The deflection can be used as a howitzer.
It can be used as a mortar when shooting at a high elevation angle, and its trajectory and accuracy are more stable than mortars of the same level.
During mountain operations, the Type 92 infantry gun can be conveniently deployed on anti-slope positions.
In this way, it can not only provide timely support firepower to our own troops on the ridge or frontal position, but also hide ourselves well.
Soon, Wei Dayong adjusted the Type 92 infantry cannon to fire at Zhu Yuan.
Just aim straight at this distance and shoot horizontally.
Team Langya and Wang Chengzhu were both a little suspicious.
Can the battalion commander still shoot?
It's not mortars, but mountain artillery and infantry artillery, which is strange.
Wei Dayong, however, didn't care so much. He saw that Wang Chengzhu had already adjusted the mortar fire and Zhu Yuan was ready.
He took a few steps back and let the soldiers from the artillery battery step forward to operate.
"Prepare!"
Following Wei Dayong's order, the first gunner opened the box and took out a howitzer shell.
The second gunner opened the cross-wedge breech, took the shell and stuffed it in, then knelt down on one knee and pulled the match rope.
"The mountain cannon is ready!"
"Infantry artillery ready!"
"Mortar ready!"
In the distance, Liu Dali and the soldiers of the special operations battalion were lying in the field, staring closely at the artillery position.
The Third Company had been sent by Wei Dayong to the stronghold and cut off the escape route of the Japanese traitors.
The Wolf Fang Squadron was also not far away, looking at the artillery battery expectantly.
The special operations battalion became more and more extravagant, not only mortars, but also mountain artillery and infantry artillery were used!
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"put!"
Wei Dayong looked stern, raised his right hand, and then put it down suddenly.
The gunner gently pulled back the match rope, and the mountain cannon shook violently. The muzzle flashed red and at the same time, a white mist appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the scream of cannonballs flying across the sky came to the sky above Wang Jing's stronghold.
This artillery grenade accurately landed directly above the bunker.
The moment the cannon was ejected from the chamber, the soldiers of the special operations battalion quickly turned their attention to the Wang Jing stronghold.
"boom!"
With a violent explosion, the bunker was almost razed to the ground amid fire and gunpowder smoke, and the Japanese and traitors inside also disappeared.
The Type 92 infantry cannon fired almost simultaneously, and a grenade cut almost half of the masonry turret.
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled thud on the mortar position, and mortar shells rose into the air one after another, and then landed in Wang Jing's stronghold.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Continuous explosions immediately came from Wang Jing's stronghold, and balls of dazzling red light and smoke almost enveloped the entire stronghold.
Seeing the Japanese bunkers and gun towers crumbling under the gunfire, the soldiers of the special operations battalion stood up one after another, raised their guns and cheered.
The Eighth Route Army, which lacked artillery, could only be bombed in the past.
And the Japanese were in strongholds, bunkers and gun towers, and the Eighth Route Army had nothing to do against them.
Now these devils and traitors have finally experienced what it's like to be bombed.
Let them also experience the fear of being dominated by cannons!
Five mortars, one mountain cannon, and one infantry cannon. A total of seven artillery fires at the same time, which is enough for the little devils and traitors to drink a big pot!
Looking at the knocked down bunkers and gun towers, Langya Squadron and Wang Chengzhu looked very surprised. The battalion commander actually fired both guns accurately!
so smart?
"Baga!" In Wang Jing's stronghold, Hiroshi Onoda rolled out of the turret in a state of disgrace and disgrace.
The grenade from the infantry gun landed on the third floor of the gun tower, and the Japanese and traitors on the third floor were instantly killed.
The Japanese traitors on the second and first floors also felt uncomfortable. Their heads were buzzing and their faces were blackened by gunpowder smoke.
"Why... the Chinese soldiers are equipped with Jiusi mountain artillery and infantry artillery, and they can still shoot so accurately. Is this still the poor and backward Tubalu army?" Like the Japanese and traitors who were bombed, Hiroshi Onoda almost roared.
exclamation.
"Lie down, quickly!"
Hiroshi Onoda took a quick step and fell to the ground.
In addition, the Japanese and traitorous soldiers also fell down immediately.
Almost at the same time as they lay on the ground, a row of shells fell again.
The infantry artillery and mountain artillery did not fire anymore. Every artillery shell was extremely precious and could not be wasted in small strongholds. Just destroy the gun towers and bunkers.
It was the five mortars that fired, and the shells fell one after another in the stronghold, instantly knocking the Japanese and traitors to their knees.
"Go!" Liu Dali gave the order to attack.
Without the support of the firepower in the bunkers and gun towers, the soldiers of the special operations battalion rushed towards the Wangjing stronghold like a tide.
In the other direction, Li Yunlong first fired several rounds of mortars, but failed to destroy the gun towers and bunkers in the Yanhua stronghold.
"Yao Shangwu, where are your damn mountain artillery and infantry artillery, pull them up for me!"
Following Li Yunlong's order, several soldiers pushed and pulled, pulling the mountain artillery and infantry artillery up from behind.
"I don't believe in evil today. I can't take this small stronghold!"
"Yao Shangwu, aim at the bunkers and gun towers for me, you son of a bitch!"
Li Yunlong was lying behind a dead tree with a crooked neck, holding a shell gun with the brim of his hat tilted to one side. Next to him, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were lying on the left and right.
Some of the soldiers of the first battalion went around to the stronghold and cut off the escape route of the Japanese and traitors, and some of them lay down on the ground.
Yao Shangwu personally operated the mountain artillery and infantry artillery, adjusting the shooting at Zhu Yuan.
After the first test firing, Yao Shangwu calculated the parameters again, and then fine-tuned the muzzle elevation again.
Following the two blasts, the artillery towers and bunkers along the Chinese stronghold collapsed in an instant under the watchful eyes of Li Yunlong and the soldiers.
"Don't give the Japanese a chance to breathe, charge forward and occupy the stronghold!"
Li Yunlong's eyes were sharp as he held a shell gun and fired a shot into the air.
