Chapter 1095 Tenacious Black Hawk Imperial Army
The sound of hooves on the mountain road was like thunder, and the horses subconsciously followed the first panic pack horses to run wildly to both sides of the mountain road.
But the guns and cannons did not stop because the horses were frightened. The red-eyed horses would not care about their companions who were injured by stray bullets and shrapnel from time to time. They just followed the instinct of living creatures to survive and ran along the mountain road where they could run, trying to stay away from this terrible place.
A horse weighing hundreds of kilograms, even if it runs wildly, its power can make people's eyelids twitch. I just want to stay away from it, let alone hundreds of them?
Along the way, all obstacles will be knocked away and shattered by the surging horses, whether it is a man or a cart.
The herd of horses roared away, leaving behind blood and corpses along the way, with horses and corpses. Even though the Black Eagle Army did not hide on the mountain road, but on both sides of the mountain road, many people were affected and died of panic horses.
Something more unlucky was that hundreds of kilograms of horses that were running wildly but tripped up by the stones and flew out.
It can be said that during these ten minutes, the Black Hawk Army was very tough and tenacious, but their losses were beyond their expectations. There were probably only more than 200 people who died from bullets and grenades on the top of the mountain, and mortar shells that fell wildly, but there were more than 100 people who died and injured by the frightened horses running wildly. So much so that the commander of the Black Hawk Army had to give a painful order, turning the guns of the kingdom people, and shooting at the running horses.
The horses continued, but they could not avoid the machine rifle bullets. Until the body of the Black Hawks' horses even blocked the entire mountain road, the frightened army horses could not move forward, and gradually stopped the crazy collision, but their eyes were still red and their nostrils were spraying heavily, which might erupt again at any time.
Without the Black Hawk Army, the corpses that were trampled to the point of being human-like reminded them that once those docile pack horses get mad, they will definitely not be less lethal than guns and cannons.
The Black Hawk Army Artillery Brigade has a total of thousands of people, but these thousands are either infantrymen who can hold rifles and fight against the enemy. Except for high-tech artillery, most of the rest are ammunition soldiers, which are just artillery shells. Not to mention that there are no machine guns, there are not many rifles. They are mainly fourteen small pistols in the south that are prone to get stuck. Not everyone has them. They must be high-end things that can only be matched with high military ranks. The entire artillery Brigade only has 500 short guns.
It's okay to have no guns. Their main job is to set up cannons and shoot cannons. However, the pack horse was frightened and took away all the parts of the mountain cannons. Just take a gun barrel and have a chicken feather? The three artillery squadrons of the Artillery Brigade, 12 artillery squadrons, and at least five artillery squadrons were crying.
Some of them had only wheels, some had gun barrels, and some had just a few dozen people hid and stared at them. Well, there were no guns, so they would always hide! Find a place to hide or pretend to be dead, and wait for the infantry and the kingdom to "resurrect" before they were finished. But this wish was also extinguished by the "vicious" kingdom people.
It seems that they like to bully the weak and fear the strong. The kingdoms' rifles and bullets have been aimed at the Black Hawk Army artillery, which has little resistance. Before the war, the 3rd Battalion of the 71st Regiment was specifically reminded that once the Black Hawk Army artillery is used to support infantry operations, casualties will increase several times. Therefore, even if the Black Hawk Army artillery has no artillery, it will reduce the threat to kill one more Black Hawk Empire artillery. The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 71st Regiment are all focused on the Black Hawk Army artillery, even if many of them are still empty-handed.
Those who had no cannons wanted to cry, but the Black Hawk Army, who took the time to remove the cannon, actually burst into tears. They wanted to install the cannons quickly, and they would blow the bold kingdom people to ashes with one shot.
But, the kingdoms on the top of the mountain also have to give them time to assemble cannons! The 540-kilogram mountain cannon is not a field cannon, and it can be fired just by putting it down.
Because of mountain combat, the daily life of mountain cannons is to be dismantled into 6 large pieces and carried forward by at least 6 pack horses. Well, maybe in some dead corners, the people of the kingdoms were not visible, so they were given enough time to assemble the cannons, but there was no place to set the cannons!
Even if the mountain cannons are petite among all kinds of cannons, they must at least have to set up the cannons of several square meters! In such corners of mountain roads, let alone 3.3 meters long mountain cannons, even farts, can be smelled by people in a small team.
Well! The Black Hawk Army infantry is not a vegetarian. In order to protect the artillery so that the artillery can install cannons to support themselves, the Black Hawk Army infantry squadron, like taking rat medicine, fired at 500 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 71st Regiment, which occupied the terrain, in a rain of bullets. The grenade launcher's grenade launcher also poses a great threat to the firepower point on the top of the mountain.
Faced with the Black Hawk Empire who fought desperately, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion also had to hide! With such an advantage, they were unwilling to fight with the Black Hawk Empire, and they had to beat these Black Hawk Empires to death alive!
The Black Hawk Army artillery stole some air, gritted the bullet and found two open spaces, and finally assembled mountain cannons, even installed shells to prepare for firing.
The Four-Yi Mountain Cannon has excellent performance, and can reach more than 6,000 meters at a distance of -8 to 25 degrees. How much can it hit? In other words, the Four-Yi Mountain Cannon is a curved cannon, but it can not adjust the firing range to 80 degrees and can hit mortars 50 meters away. It has the least and requires a range of several hundred meters.
And here, there are mountains everywhere. If you want to hit the ridge, the kingdoms have to transport the cannons to a position of at least one thousand meters, and adjust the gun upward to the maximum firing boundary. Perhaps that possibility is possible.
And now, even if they want to fight, they are still fighting.
But creatures like the Black Hawk Empire have always been stubborn and hard. Even if they know that they will hit the mountain in this environment and angle and cannot shoot at the top of the mountain, they will still blatantly fire at several positions of the 3rd Battalion. I guess that mental state will not kill you and scare you to death. Anyway, the Black Hawk Empire Army dares to fire.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!" "Boom Boom Boom" several consecutive shells, hitting several thick smoke burst out from the mountain more than 200 meters away, and the rocks fell.
The mountain cannon shells exploded clearly on the battlefield, which naturally attracted the attention of the mortar positions that beat the Black Hawk Army in the encirclement hundreds of meters away.
Each infantry company has several artillery observers advancing with the infantry, responsible for providing artillery data to mortars hundreds of meters away. However, it is impossible to lay telephone lines here. The radio telephone industry has proved that it is not reliable in the complex electromagnetic environment where shells are constantly exploded in the mountains. If you want to provide the artillery position required by the front line to an artillery position at least 500 meters away, you can only rely on flag words.
Like the Beizhaoguan, the artillery soldiers had long drawn this area into a grid, replacing the artillery area with different numerical codes. The artillery observers located in front used different colors of flag arrangements to pass the digital codes to the rear.
On the battlefield, you may be hit by a bullet when you are lying down, not to mention that you have to stand up and sing flags, which is almost like sending yourself to the enemy's gun.
In order to prevent casualties of artillery observers, who are considered high-tech talents, Liu Lang designed a unique way to convey the flag-raising flags. Just like raising the national flag in the future, the artillery observers who are hiding on the side pull the rope, and the arrangement of various small flags representing the numerical symbols will be raised to the flagpole made of 3 meters high bamboo. The rear observation hand uses a telescope to observe and quickly report to the gunners to adjust the direction of the muzzle and the shooting boundary.
Not to mention, this method is very useful. The mortar company of the Independent Regiment Artillery Battalion used this method to beat the infantry hidden in every corner of the Black Hawk Army hundreds of meters away.
An artillery observer immediately found the approximate location of the Black Hawk Army mountain cannon and quickly passed the shelling parameters to the rear.
"Reporting to the company commander, the target position is 20105, wrong, it is 20101..." The artillery observer on the mortar position, holding a telescope, quickly reported coordinate data according to the different colors of flags in the field of view, but the sound gradually became lower.
"You can't read it wrong if you have a telescope? But if you show me carefully, you can't blow up the mountain cannons of the Black Hawk Empire. Not only will Battalion Commander Liu ask us to trouble, but maybe the Black Hawk Empire cannons will also fall on us." Geng Dazhuang, who has been promoted to the commander of the Mortar Company of the Artillery Battalion in the Independent Regiment, angrily took the heavy Sichuan voice and scolded the top corps beside him.
Geng Dazhuang was also a little helpless. If it weren't for the best observers in the company, they would have been sent to the front line or went to Beizhao Pass, there would have been no one left. But this three-year soldier who had never been on the battlefield was an observer.
Originally, if the artillery battalion were all here, the mountain artillery company, the mortar company, and the rocket launcher company that had never been used, the Black Hawk Empire in the encirclement would definitely not have been as arrogant as it is now.
However, the regiment commander had already strictly ordered that the rocket launcher company should not be exposed. The mountain artillery company was responsible for fighting in Beizhao Pass. Most of the mortar company was divided into two groups to support Beizhao Pass. The mortar company commander now had only a mortar platoon with six mortars, and in addition, the 12 82 balls and personnel of the bayonet battalion were forced to be under his command during the war.
The 12 gates of the Bayonet Battalion were forced to be commanded by the infantry companies themselves. The Death Battalion sniped the brigade headquarters of the 40th Brigade at the forefront. The distance was too far, and all mortars were used by them.
"You guys cry, you're a hammer, I didn't scold you or hit you." Geng Dazhuang suddenly found that the three-year soldier who put down the telescope had two lines of tears on his cheek, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Company Commander, it should have been a yellow flag, but I think it's black. Because..." Observer wiped tears with his hands, and choked and could no longer say anything.
Geng Dazhuang's eyes were stern. He knew that you could say that the psychological quality of the observer who had never been on the battlefield was not up to standard. He could say that he was nervous, but every observer had checked. No one was color blind or weak. Generally speaking, he could not see the color wrongly.
He quickly picked up the telescope and looked at Geng Dazhuang, who had stopped rising and still at the flag halfway up the flag pole, and his eyes were also wet.
The yellow turned black, not stained with dust, but blood, and the bright red blood soaked the entire flag.
That is the blood of the artillery observer.
The flag stops rising, which naturally proves that the person who raises the flag is gone.
Yes, the Black Hawks are not stupid, and they are very smart.
After being beaten by mortars for so long, they were also looking for the source of the shells and found that they were all shot from more than one mile away. In such a terrain, it is absolutely impossible to avoid shells falling on the ridges where the kingdoms are located, and to accurately send shells to the bottom of the valley without the artillery observer approaching and reporting the coordinates of the shells.
The Black Hawk Army artillery observer provides his own artillery with its own system of artillery coordinates. The front-line artillery observer is one of them. Another is to fly on a hot air balloon to a height of dozens of meters to provide data to artillery positions not far away.
If the kingdoms don’t have hot air balloons, they can only use front-line artillery observers. This is just a temporary field position, and there will never be a chance to lay a telephone line, which can convey messages hundreds of meters away...
The Black Hawk Army, who had carefully analyzed, soon discovered the flagpole that was erected on the ridge that was beyond the reach of their bullets. Small flags of different colors probably contained secrets that they could not understand.
The gun cannot be shot, but it does not prove that their grenade can't be shot. When the artillery observer erects the flagpole again and pulls the flag up, at least two grenade cans fire grenades to the estimated position.
