NOVEL NEXT Chapter 168
The mountain cannon is powerful and easy to transport.
But it is a thing weighing several hundred kilograms. It often takes at least two or three minutes to assemble it quickly and put it into battle.
This is Wang Chengzhu's chance.
"Report!"
"The angle of the No. 1 mortar has been adjusted!"
"The angle of the No. 2 mortar has been adjusted!"
"The angle of the No. 3 mortar has been adjusted!"
"..."
In just a few seconds.
The nearly ten Type 81 mortars on the scene quickly locked the target.
Wang Chengzhu did not say any nonsense and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, target the location of the Japanese mountain cannon, fire, fire!"
Swish!
Swish!
Almost instantly.
The shells quickly flew out from their own positions, drew an arc in the sky, and then directly bombarded the rear of the Japanese.
"Shells! Lie down!"
A Japanese officer shouted urgently.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
But they didn't have time to dodge.
Nearly ten shells fell first, and the explosion sounded like thunder.
All the shells hit the Japanese troops firmly, and the powerful power immediately injured a lot of people.
"Baka!"
Liang Senyangping, who was not far away, was furious.
Who would have thought.
This mountain artillery squadron was greeted by a round before it even went on the field. I'm afraid that more than 20 people died on the spot.
Fortunately.
The four mountain artillery were not affected.
"The angle is off!"
Wang Chengzhu was furious and shouted: "No. 1 to 3, move 50 meters to the left, No. 4 and No. 5, shoot 40 meters to the east, No. 6 to 10, move 70 meters to the right, and fire immediately after adjustment!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
Many gunners took the order again.
Swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish!
Another round of ruthless artillery fire.
Various shells instantly hit the enemy's position.
Finally.
Compared with the previous deviation, this time each shell was much closer to the mountain guns, and one of them hit a mountain gun very accurately.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
As the surrounding shells were hit, a series of explosions occurred instantly.
The mountain artillery unit that had just arrived suffered extremely tragic losses immediately. Nearly half of the Japanese were instantly wiped out, and another mountain artillery was also completely affected.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
At this time, Liang Sen Yangping roared at his own artillery unit.
Swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish!
Soon, there were also several mortars bombarding this side.
"Lie down!"
Wang Chengzhu shouted quickly.
It has to be said.
The fortifications that Zhou Weiguo had ordered people to build here earlier did play a big role. Although those shells exploded around them, they did not cause any casualties because of the existence of the fortifications.
After the artillery fire, Wang Chengzhu quickly climbed up and roared: "These little Japanese dared to fight back! Bomb them!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish!
Another round of shells hit instantly.
The mortar has a very high rate of fire, and can fire at least 20 to 30 rounds per minute.
At this time, Wang Chengzhu did not care about the lack of ammunition. Seeing that the time given by the regiment commander was limited, he just greeted the devils frantically.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
In just two or three minutes.
The first company of the light artillery battalion directly fired hundreds of shells, all of which fiercely bombarded the devil positions.
This fierce firepower output is rare in the past.
"Baga!"
Liang Senyangping, who was not far away, had an extremely ugly face, gritted his teeth and roared: "Waste! All of them are waste! So many artillery can't be the opponent of the opponent?!"
Although he knew that the opponent's firepower was very fierce, he didn't expect it to be so strong.
Just these ten small cannons.
When did they have such a terrifying output capability?
Not to mention that the artillery unit on our side was completely suppressed, even the mountain artillery squadron that had just reinforced suffered heavy losses.
This is too incredible!
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel!"
The adjutant next to him also said with a serious face: "The other side has set up a very solid artillery position on that hilltop, and the position is set behind the hillside. Not to mention that our artillery's line of sight is blocked, unless we hit the other side directly, it is difficult to play a truly effective sniper role. On the other hand, the other side can easily bombard us. The two are really incomparable! In addition, the enemy's artillery commander seems to be very experienced in combat, and the firepower output is well-balanced and reasonably deployed. After several rounds of bombardment, half of our combat power has been paralyzed. It will be more and more difficult to fight next!"
"Could it be thatIs there nothing we can do?"
"That may not be the case!"
The adjutant quickly said again: "The enemy's artillery positions are set up on the top of the hill, which is certainly an advantage, but it also means that their artillery shells must be limited. The enemy's output was so fierce before, I think it won't take long for their firepower to slow down, and then it will be time for us to counterattack again!"
"That makes sense. "
Liang Senyouhei's expression eased slightly, but there was an indescribable aggrieved look between his eyebrows.
The battle continues to this day.
Their First Battalion suffered heavy losses. Not to mention conquering the enemy's hilltop, their firepower is now completely suppressed.
If this is said out, it will be a disgrace to the entire brigade!
The battle is going on madly.
Since the important counterattack force of the devil was destroyed.
Wang Chengzhu was completely free to play here, just greeting the devil madly.
As for the shells?
The devil's adjutant was indeed very accurate.
The shells and artillery here only have nearly half an hour's worth of them.
But in this half hour, it is enough for a light artillery company to output as much as possible.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Various noises continued to be heard throughout the battlefield, and they were also ruthlessly bombarding the formation that the devil had organized with great difficulty.
"Baga! "
The more Liang Senyouhei looked, the uglier his face became.
Are the enemy's artillery shells endless?
This made the adjutant frown slightly, with a little embarrassment on his face.
As for Wu Qianli, it was obviously impossible for him to stop. Seeing that the half-hour time was getting closer and closer, he wished that time would stop and he could lead his troops to rush down and counterattack the Japanese.
What a pity.
The regiment commander said that we could not take the initiative to attack.
"Battalion commander!"
Suddenly, a soldier reminded him: "The half-hour time is up!"
"Damn it! "
Wu Qianli was really sorry when he saw this.
After suppressing several rounds of the Japanese attack, the so-called Japanese vanguard battalion was obviously scared, especially after the enemy artillery was killed by Wang Chengzhu, and no large-scale charge was organized. This made him feel that he had not used his strength at all. Thinking of this, he could only say angrily: "They were all scared away by Brother Wang. I have to talk to him later. Next time, we have to let the Japanese come first before fighting, otherwise our third battalion won't even get a bowl of soup!"
"Battalion commander, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Retreat, I dare not disobey the order of the regiment commander!"
"..."
"Huh——"
Just then, the Japanese adjutant suddenly brightened up and said: "Sir, the enemy's firepower seems to be much weaker! "
Ryoshin Yohei, who was shouting angrily, soon noticed this phenomenon. He was surprised and happy: "It seems that the enemy's shells are almost exhausted. Now pass my order and immediately organize a small exploratory charge. If the enemy is really running out, the whole team will counterattack immediately!"
"Hai!"
Everyone quickly obeyed the order.
