Chapter 309: The Crawling Tiger(1/2)
Meng Shaoyuan finally waited for his secret weapon:
Italian BrixiaM35 45MM mortar!
It is called the "best designed" or "the most complex designed" light mortar, and it has a weirdly designed light mortar with a seat specially designed for the gunner!
A real Italian gun.
Although Italy is a very strange country, and some of its weapons are also very strangely designed, before the war, they were a major arms exporter.
Especially in China, a lot of Italian weapons are active, mainly cannons.
"Second Battalion Commander, bring up the Italian cannon!"
That famous line came out of my mouth.
Song Deng was startled.
Second Battalion Commander?
Where is the second battalion commander here?
"Song Deng, what are you doing so stupidly? Cannon, my Italian cannon!"
Meng Shaoyuan almost shouted there.
"Understood!" Song Deng finally reacted.
This Brixia M35 45MM mortar weighs 15.4 kilograms, has a maximum range of 535 meters, and a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 25 to 30 minutes per minute.
Appearing here, it is definitely a "weapon of mass destruction".
It was also the Mahikawa plainclothes team and those Japanese troops who were unlucky.
Who would have thought that a group of secret agents would actually own a real mortar?
Where does this make sense?
Some local miscellaneous units of the Chinese army may not even have one in a division.
That is, I met the unreasonable Meng Shaoyuan.
Master Meng, who had known for a long time that war would definitely break out, how much time did he spend preparing weapons and ammunition before the war?
Now, it's time to use them.
The gun mount is a "well"-shaped swinging gun mount. Although this design makes the gun mount structure very complex and increases the difficulty of production, it gives the M35 good shooting stability and flexible shooting angles, with a maximum shooting angle.
up to 85 degrees.
Another feature of the gun mount is a chest pad for the shooter to lie on. Since the overall height of the M35 is very low, the shooter usually lies on the ground to operate, so the chest pad allows the shooter to operate the gun for a long time without feeling tired.
You can also do it while sitting on a mat.
On the other hand, the weight of the shooter also plays a role in stabilizing the artillery, which is definitely an ingenious design.
The chest pad is also the back pad when carrying the mortar, which improves the comfort of carrying it. When carrying the mortar, you only need to fold the gun frame and chest pad in the middle, and you can carry it easily.
However, no matter which angle Meng Shaoyuan admires it from, he feels that this mortar is more like a work of art.
The mortar was quickly installed.
"Report to Director Meng, complete shooting preparations, please give instructions!"
"No instructions!" Meng Shaoyuan yelled: "The target is the Laozu Temple, blow it up hard for me!"
…
"idiot!"
The Japanese sergeant holding a telescope made a desperate cry: "Mortars, the Chinese actually have mortars!"
No matter how cleverly the position is arranged, there is only such a large area, and most of the Laozu Temple is a wooden structure.
Under the attack of artillery shells, the Japanese had no room to resist.
"call out"!
Amidst the sharp whistling sound, the shells swept in like a death wielding a scythe...
…
"Boom" - "Boom" - "Boom"!
Cannonballs fell one after another on the Laozu Temple.
Amidst the violent explosions, flames shot up into the sky along with screams.
The unjust deaths of the Makawa plainclothes team and those Japanese soldiers.
They considered every possibility on the battlefield, except one thing:
These Chinese agents actually own a mortar!
This is unreasonable!
Across the way, the Japanese military position at Laozu Temple was completely engulfed in flames.
Meng Shaoyuan was very proud.
No matter what combat deployment or fire suppression, they are all inferior to your Master Meng's cannon!
"Xiang Shounong!" Meng Shaoyuan shouted loudly: "Come for me and kill without mercy!"
"Brothers." Xiang Shounong, who was completely stimulated by the sound of gunfire, his eyes were blood red: "Come on, kill all the little Japanese, not a single one is left, charge on!"
All the agents rushed out of their hiding places, roared with various weapons in their hands, organized intensive firepower, and rushed towards the Laozu Temple one by one like a race.
"don't want!"
On the roof, Wei Yunzhe, who was directing machine guns and mortars to fire wildly, shouted.
Damn it, the Japanese army wasn't completely wiped out.
At this time, the mortar bombardment should continue, the machine guns on the roof, and the grenades on the ground should take turns to coordinate the attack, killing as many Japanese troops as possible within a safe range.
Instead of launching a charge when the remnants of the enemy are still there and there is still room for resistance.
Unfortunately, no one could hear his cry.
He is a professional soldier, but most agents are not.
They were trained, but not tactically trained.
All they knew was that the enemy was now crippled by artillery shells.
It’s time to take care of these little Japans!
"Machine gun, hold it down, hold it down!"
Now, the only thing Wei Yunzhe can do is this.
When the troops on the ground rushed to the Laozu Temple, several Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared half-kneeling with guns raised.
A row of bullets were fired!
The few agents who rushed to the front fell to the ground.
Although half of the Japanese troops were killed and injured in the shelling, and the rest were knocked unconscious by the bombardment, they still survived.
Their high quality allowed them to immediately engage in counterattack!
The agents, who thought that the Japanese army had been crippled and would never encounter a counterattack, suffered casualties in an instant.
This is tuition, high tuition.
Even if the position is blown to pieces again, even if they are at a disadvantage again, these Japanese troops will never give up resistance so easily.
Not to mention the agents, China's regular army also suffered bloody lessons in the war.
During the Battle of Songhu, the 87th Division, which was the first to attack, thought that the enemy had given up resistance and the battle was over when it captured a Japanese position.
But no one expected that the seriously injured Japanese soldiers would actually pull the safety of the grenade, knock it on the head, and die together with the Chinese soldiers who rushed to them!
A bloody lesson!
The same goes for agents.
Fortunately, the two machine guns on the roof, under the command of Wei Yunzhe, roared violently and fired whirlwind bullets, quickly knocking down several Japanese soldiers.
Xiang Shounong roared and rushed into the Japanese position. The roar of the submachine gun in his hand never stopped for a moment.
Living, dead, and half-dead Japanese, no one has escaped the baptism of his bullets.
"boom"!
Mahikawa, the captain of the plainclothes team, had one arm and one leg blown off, but he still fired a shot with his remaining arm.
But then his whole body was beaten into a hornet's nest.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Xiang Shounong roared like a wild beast: "Kill all these grandsons!"
…
