The two mortar squads remaining in the warehouse now, if they were placed two months ago, they might only be called qualified.
But after three months of bloody fighting that lasted almost a long time, each of their gunners fired no less than 500 shells. Especially in the past few days, they not only had to shoot accurately but also quickly, otherwise they would be fired.
The Japanese bombardment of grenades was wiped out, and under the pressure of a life-and-death crisis, all the potential of the gunners was squeezed out.
Both in terms of hand speed and accuracy, it is a step further than before.
To describe them as excellent is already an extremely modest statement. They should be extremely outstanding.
After receiving Leng Feng's order, the mortar squadron quickly piled up useless sandbags on the third floor and adjusted the gun distance in front of the specially set aside shelling window.
Its main gunner, Xiong Dazhu, nicknamed Big Xiong, was a big man from Shandong, with a hunky body and a body that did not look like a technical artilleryman.
In fact, until three months ago, he was just a small ammunition hand in the first squad. A soldier who had only been in the army for less than a year existed in the mortar squad not by skill, but by sheer strength.
One person can hold a 15-kilogram ammunition box with the shells on each side, and he is definitely an excellent ammunition hand.
Before entering Songhu, he also knew how to fire mortars. After two test fires, a big battle was imminent. The cannon company temporarily made arrangements for the ammunition crews to learn how to fire. Otherwise, once the gunners were finished, the cannons would be destroyed.
Is it still okay if no one can hit me?
Then, in the first battle on the battlefield, Big Bear, a good ammunition hand, became the gunner of the mortar squadron.
Because the gunner, assistant gunner and observer of his squad were accidentally discovered by the Japanese observer, and several 75-inch mountain gun shells were fired over, directly burying them in the ruins.
The 82 mortar can still be used after being dug out, but the man has long since run out of energy.
As a last resort, the main ammunition hand took over and became a gunner.
But no one expected that Big Bear was not only physically strong, but also extremely talented in cannon shooting.
This guy, who had only fired two cannons before the war and looked a bit crude, turned out to be the star gunner of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment in the following battle. In nearly twenty bloody battles in more than two months, he had the ability to destroy the Japanese army for five years.
A brilliant record of heavy machine gun fortifications and ten light machine gun firepower points.
His military rank has also been promoted from the least popular private to sergeant, and his rocket-like promotion speed has caught up with Tang Dao.
Although it is in a building, in order to ensure enough space for the mortar to launch, the window sill, which is 5 meters wide and more than three meters high, has no obstruction. The grenade thrown by the grenade launcher of the Japanese veteran more than 300 meters away has an eye-catching effect.
With chilling precision, it's not safe here.
Therefore, Daxiong squinted his eyes and observed the location where Leng Feng requested to bombard, calculated the distance of the gunfire, and started his performance as quickly as possible.
Next to the set-up mortar was an opened ammunition box, with four shells in one box. That was the base number he had prepared for himself. He was also a talented person who had been tested by the battlefield of blood and fire for three months.
Gunner's confidence.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Three consecutive shots exploded around the No. 8 tank where Kikuta Yuzo was, and the flying shrapnel and rubble picked up by the air waves hit the steel plate of the tank with a "bang" sound.
But these are not enough to make Kikuta Yusanso panic. Although the 12-ton Imperial main battle tank is afraid of the penetrating direct-aiming cannon, it is not afraid of these small-caliber cannons. Do you think the 12 mm thick steel plate is a joke?
Even the building he was hiding in, no matter how shaky it looked, was really going to be bombarded with such a small-caliber mortar. If he didn't hit it ten times in a row, do you think it would collapse?
But what if 30 kilograms of high explosives explode? Can a 12mm steel plate stop it? Yuzo Kikuta doesn’t know because he has never experienced it, but that’s for sure it won’t be that exciting.
This time he knew what it felt like to have thirty kilograms of high explosives detonated.
The last shell was thrown into the barrel by Big Bear, and then he covered his ears and squatted down. "Boom!" The shell popped out of the chamber. A second later, it exploded in the small building 200 meters away, and then there was another blast.
"Boom!" Loud noise.
The fourth shell successfully detonated thirty kilograms of high explosives that had been slightly disguised and discarded in the debris pile downstairs.
The loud noise shocked even the defenders of the warehouse 200 meters away, let alone the Japanese troops in the tanks who were no more than ten meters away.
"Is this? The Chinese are using heavy artillery?" This was Yuzo Kikuta's last thought in this world.
Perhaps, the only good thing is that his Kikuta will never get sore again.
In fact, the explosive power of thirty kilograms of explosives even exceeds the power of a 155-caliber artillery shell weighing 20 kilograms.
Although the location where the explosive was detonated was actually more than ten meters away from the 89 tank, and there were even two brick walls in the middle, it could not stop the terrible shock wave from completely collapsing the already shaky building, and by the way, the 12-ton
The heavy Japanese Army main battle tank "blown" into a rolling gourd.
Really, the 12-ton dead weight of the Type 89 tank is not enough in front of such explosive power. If it were replaced with a 50-ton dead weight, it could barely withstand it.
Rolling is just a superficial phenomenon. Don't think that you can avoid the impact of the shock wave by hiding in the tank. The terrible shock wave directly tore the 'Rubber Reactive Armor' tied up with ropes to pieces, and even the tank was tightly riveted by countless rivets.
All the steel plates were lifted.
That's not to mention the several members riding inside. They were basically located in the core explosion zone and were shaken and 'fainted' in the car when the shock wave energy hit.
Of course, the Japanese soldiers who 'fainted' could never wake up again.
Because their internal organs have long been shattered. If someone dissects the corpses with no scars on the outside, they will find that the Japanese soldiers lying inside the tank are all soft and their bones have been shattered.
.
The detonated high explosives not only made poor Kikuta the victim, but even the Japanese soldiers who were still crawling dozens of meters away were vomited blood by the shock wave coming from the ground. That is basically impossible.
Survival internal injuries.
In this war, there were many wounded Chinese soldiers. They were all injured alive by the Japanese large-caliber naval guns in trenches or gun holes. The constant internal bleeding would kill them within two days.
Life.
In addition to the fatal shock wave, there were also appendages brought about by the violent explosion. Countless stones and tiles were sent high into the sky by the explosion energy, and then fell freely.
A steel helmet may be able to save the head, but no one can huddle their whole body into a steel helmet. What's more, those pieces of reinforced concrete that are as big as a washbasin are roaring and falling straight from an altitude of more than 20 meters. Even a steel helmet has to be smashed.
Into a piece of iron sheet.
The collective souls of the Japanese soldiers within a fifty-meter radius of the explosion center jumped up and ran away. Those lying on the ground were all idiots. The area that was hit was definitely larger. It was better to leave here than to wait in place and wait for the blessing of Amaterasu.
The chance of survival is much greater.
Besides, Amaterasu has abandoned these little scumbags for several days.
Their idea was correct, but they forgot one thing: this is a battlefield.
Just because there were no shots fired at the warehouse before, doesn't mean there won't be shots fired again.
The main reason is that before, they were eager to bury themselves in the soil and crawl around, shooting and wasting too much ammunition.
But now, this is obviously not the case.
Then, three light machine gun fire points in the warehouse opened fire.
With such an obvious target, it would be a shame to not give them a few moves.
