Chapter 260 The Doomsday of the 4th Brigade (3)
It has to be said that the Black Hawk Army has excellent psychological qualities. All the heavy fire points on its own side were destroyed, and the light machine gun was completely silent. Mortar shells were falling from time to time on their heads.
They didn't collapse and were still shooting against the officers and soldiers in the first company.
However, one is shooting upward and the other is shooting downward. The officers and soldiers of the company were born with the advantage, and with various machine guns to help, the Black Hawk Army naturally suffered heavy casualties.
However, the Black Hawk Army's skillful and precise shooting skills also killed many new recruits who were overly excited because of excitement.
At least ten new recruits were killed and injured in this completely advantageous shooting. The injured and killed new recruits were quickly carried to the tunnel behind the mountain, where there was a temporary ambulance for the regiment field hospital. Liu Lang even specifically asked to dig a very wide location as a place to store the soldiers' bodies.
Liu Lang did not want the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle to be ravaged by enemy shells. Although it was laborious to dig such a large space, no soldier had any complaints.
A series of people have put nearly 400 Blackhawk Empires at the forefront of the position and cannot move. If there is enough time, these 400 Blackhawk Empires will definitely be doomed.
Of course, Yanagawa would not sit and wait for death. The four infantry artillery artillery squadron's plan had been transferred to the front of the position by him. It was only 800 meters away, which was enough to overturn the terrifying machine guns in one shot.
Liu Lang, who watched the Black Hawk Army artillery quietly move from the telescope, sneered a trace of sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth. The top of the castle was covered with steel plates and logs, which were enough to withstand howitzers bombing, but his shortcomings were that he was afraid that such infantry cannons could be used as direct aiming guns, if they were hit at the forefront, would of course be destroyed.
But will the artillery of the Independent Regiment allow the opponent to fire unscrupulously?
Obviously not.
Seeing that the infantry cannons in the distance had already landed and could launch shelling at any time, Liu Lang nodded and said to Xiang Qian: "Tell Zhao Ergou that his business is coming. By the way, he also told him that if he let the Black Hawk Empire destroy a secret castle, his military rank will be demoted to me one level."
He grinned his white teeth and immediately called the direct artillery company. Of course, he was not as aggressive as the regiment commander. He kept this position well, and it would not work without the support of Zhao Ergou Artillery Company.
Several mortar platoons were scattered by Zhao Ergou to support the other two positions, and he himself guarded two Bofos mountain cannons hidden in the mountains and forests three miles away from the main position. For this reason, the communication platoon also brought him a telephone line to facilitate him to receive reports on the enemy's location from the artillery observation points in front.
"Brothers, the construction has started. I have already been driven to the No. 182 area. The regiment commander said, if the Blackhawk Empire's artillery injured the brothers of the infantry company, our artillery company will have no food to eat tonight." Zhao Ergou, who received the call, smiled and opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly.
"Haha, company commander, just watch it! The infantry brothers have been having fun for a long time, and then we will see our artillery company's performance." An artillery veteran laughed and hugged a shell into the cannon chamber.
It was actually very cold in the north in early March, but the veteran was wearing only one-on-one clothes, not because he was not afraid of the cold, but because he was afraid that the heavy cotton coat would hinder his flexibility. Of course, it was not easy to carry a cannon. As long as he started to fire the cannon, it would be steaming in a while.
How powerful is the Bofos mountain cannon? Just look at the weight of the shell, you can tell that the shell weighs 6.5 kilograms are no smaller than the average 100MM caliber howitzer. In fact, the mountain cannon itself is a howitzer with a slightly shorter barrel and more maneuverable nature.
At this time, the artillery calibrated the firing distance and firing boundary according to the target distance and also adjusted the muzzle into place.
"Release" roared as Zhao Ergou stared at the wide eyes.
The two Bofos cannons roared violently almost at the same time, shaking the ground trembled.
Howitzer shells loaded with No. 1 medicine are mainly used to expand the bombing area and use shock waves to kill the enemy. The initial velocity of the shell is not large, only 230 meters per second.
It didn't look fast, but Zhao Ergou's shooting location was only 2,200 meters away from the four infantry cannons aiming at loading shells. It took only less than ten seconds to fly over at such a speed.
As the saying goes, veterans are afraid of guns and recruits are afraid of artillery. That is because recruits are at a loss when they hear the sound of shells flying. However, as veterans experience more, they can judge whether the shells will fall near them based on the screams of shells flying in the air.
For example, when you hear the sound of shells flying sharply and loudly, you can do whatever you should do, and the explosion will be far away from you! But if you hear the "puff puff puff", don't even find a cannonball crater to jump in, even if there is a cesspool in front of you, you have to jump in immediately.
Because, that means that the shells are about to fall around you.
Obviously, the Black Hawk Empire artillery soldiers were all veterans and very experienced. They were busy and they all fell down as soon as they heard this terrible sound.
"The kingdom people actually have howitzers..." This was the last thought that came to the mind of the captain of the artillery squadron.
Then, he and his subordinates and four infantry cannons that were only fifteen meters apart became witnesses to the power of the Bofos Mountain cannon.
In order to quickly resolve the crisis of the infantry brothers, Yanagawa's artillery squadron also made a mistake similar to their commander.
The space between each cannon is too close.
You should know that during field battles, even if the space is limited, each cannon must be at least 40 meters away. The range of a howitzer's shock wave can reach dozens of meters. In addition, the damage of shrapnel, if a howitzer is bombarded, almost no one can survive within a radius of thirty meters.
As for the scene where artillery shells keep exploding in some magical dramas, but the brave soldiers of our army are still charging in the smoke of gunpowder, they can only be described as "hehe". It is estimated that the director will not end up in the end.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! You can only hear two loud "boom" sounds without any intervals.
In Major Yanagawa's pupils, only 200 meters away from them, two purple fireballs occupied almost all his focal lengths, and then two white mushroom-like smoke rose, and then two huge explosions filled the eardrums of all the Black Hawk Army.
The two Bofos mountain cannons did not test the cannon, but they actually hit it in one shot.
Of course, this is not a bad luck. But a few days ago, the officers and soldiers of the artillery company marked the area in front of each position. For example, the 182 mentioned just now means that the target is Area 2 800 meters in front of the first company position.
It took several days to adjust the fixed shooting distance and angle according to each mark. If Zhao Ergou can't make the right move, their artillery company really won't have to eat.
Success is always left to those who are prepared, and this sentence is nothing wrong.
"I've raised the bastard." The observer hiding in the trenches was specially responsible for observing the effects of the shelling.
"Company Commander, why not have another shot? If you miss one or two more, you will have no food to eat at night." The veteran, who had not yet had a good time, held a shell and stuffed it into the cannon chamber again, and advised Zhao Ergou.
"Damn it, do you think it's firecrackers? I'll send another shot. Do you know that this shell costs 100 silver coins? Wait and listen to the previous report." Zhao Ergou stared at the smirking veteran on the butt.
Obviously, Zhao Ergou also changed from a veteran to a real artillery company commander, and knew better about taking the overall situation into consideration and never wasting food.
