Chapter 393 Bombing
"No problem, wait for me a while! The Japanese team started here, and this road ended here..." Xiang Dongfang took a ruler and started mapping, and then calculated the ballistics on the draft paper.
"Captain Hu, what are you doing?" A deputy commander of the Sichuan Army walked up to Hu Yizhou and asked politely.
Outside this town is the frontier position of the Sichuan Army, and there is a battalion guarding here. The deputy regiment commander is the chief officer in charge of this area of defense, and there is also a battalion stationed in the town.
The four heavy mortar teams brought by Hu Yizhou were not placed on the Sichuan Army's positions, but found a place that did not affect the shooting range and dug out four mortar bunkers in the woods several hundred meters away from the position.
The truck that pulled the mortar was parked in the woods, and could pull the mortar away at any time.
"The people I brought were sniping the Japanese on Laoding Mountain. There was a squadron of Japanese soldiers outside the north gate in front of him who were reinforced to the stronghold on the mountain. So, I was going to do some tricks!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.
"Okay, I've been disliked by the Japanese for a long time! You might as well fire a few more shots! I'll let my brothers pay attention to anti-cannons first!" The deputy commander said that I would run away with people. I don't know if I was worried about being blown up by Hu Yizhou or the Japanese...
"Okay, you can try it!" Xiang Dongfang calculated the ballistics.
With Xiang Dongfang, Hu Yizhou didn't have to lead the artillery himself, he just needed to give Lao Xiang the order. In fact, Lao Xiang was still very good at playing with mortars.
"Preparation of No. 1 gun! Loading No. 2..." He began to explain to Dongfang the gunman who was the gunman of No. 1.
"One test shot, release!"
"Bang... chirp... boom..." The huge sound of fire made people's ears buzz. The big mortar shells drew a parabola in the sky and exploded in the distance of the Japanese marching formation.
"Baga! Chinese artillery bombardment is hidden!" The landing point of the shells is far away from the Japanese marching formation, but the huge explosion and the range of explosions really scared the Japanese.
So, the squadron leader who led the team immediately asked the Japanese soldiers to find cover to hide.
The Japanese soldiers were very obedient and immediately scattered and looked for bunkers. Several of them simply lay on the ground and dug up individual bunkers with engineer shovels.
"The landing point is 100 meters away from the Japanese marching formation, and the landing point is southeast..."
At the same time, on a tall Chinese Sophora tree about one thousand meters away from the North Gate, Su Laoliu, who had been observing the group of Japanese devils, began to report the location of the shells when facing the telephone.
Su Laoliu now stepped on a thick branch with his legs, and one arm held a thinner branch above his head, put the phone in his ear and spoke. The other hand was holding a telescope in front of him, looking at the place where the Japanese were in front of him.
"Okay, everyone has it, No. 2 charge, coordinates... Once you send it, release it!" Xiang Dongfang immediately ordered the coordinates of the mortar to be adjusted based on the data reported by Su Laoliu, and the rest was to fire the gun.
"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang
Four heavy mortars fired at one salvo, and four mortar shells crossed three kilometers and landed among the scattered Japanese.
For such bombardment with over-visual distance and shields in the middle, it is already very powerful to reach this level for the current mortars! Although these four mortar shells are a little different from the most concentrated places of the Japanese. However, the huge explosion radius is enough to make up for this defect.
The explosion radius of 120mm mortar shells is 34 meters! What is the concept? The length of a standard basketball court is 28 meters and the width is 15 meters. This is equivalent to the size of 8 basketball courts.
I saw a thousand meters east of the north gate of Changzhi City, huge fire balls appeared out of thin air, quickly sweeping a large distance, and throwing many shrapnel around.
And the Japanese soldiers within this explosion range are in trouble. It is normal to be blown up and they are all in a mess. It is very common to have fire all over their bodies. There are several people who experience a difficult human body...
The Japanese soldiers marching on the flat ground, even if they were surrounded by trees, ridges, and other temporary shelters, could not withstand this method of explosion!
"Nani? How could the Chinese have such a powerful gun?"
"Ah...save me!"
The Japanese were just seriously hit by four shells, which would be a little unbearable. If it weren't for the strict discipline, I'd probably run away long ago.
"Hit the target area, coordinates..." Su Laoliu on the tree didn't care that a foreign hot pot fell into his neck, and was still insisting on being the artillery observer. He knew very well that the opportunity for his artillery to achieve success was here, and the only squadron of the Japanese!
"Let's come again, three consecutive shots, coordinates..." Xiangdongfang no longer saved shells. He took care of the coordinates of four mortars by one person. The shells were shot out under his control and fell fiercely in the places where the Japanese gathered.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The shock waves were still raging, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the flames turned into thick smoke and rose.
A squadron of Japanese soldiers disappeared into the bombing of four heavy mortars...
"Captain, stop! Let the artillery stop! The Japanese are gone!" Su Laoliu was still on the tree, his neck was so hot that it hurts. The Japanese are gone. Hurry up and stop wasting artillery shells, so let's deal with it.
"Stop! Stop the shelling!" Hu Yizhou shouted to Dongfang.
"Stop the shelling and prepare to transfer the position!" Xiang Dongfang ran away after knowing that the battle was over.
The shelling just now didn't last long, and it took only five minutes from the first test shot to the end of the shelling. While the Japanese artillery had not yet reacted, they quickly ran away.
Because there are a large distance between the Japanese artillery positions and the north gate of Changzhi, the artillery will not find that their infantry are bombed.
At most, when you hear the sound of cannons, and after seeing the black smoke, let the Japanese soldiers in the northern stronghold observe it nearby. Or you can receive a call from the North Gate defenders and then go to shell the shelling.
Don’t expect the Japanese at the North Gate stronghold. They are still staying honestly in the house and not daring to show up. There are still sharpshooters waiting outside. Who can observe it for you?
As for the defenders outside the North Gate, when they saw their squadron being bombed, they passed the news to the previous level, and then to the mountain artillery troops level by level, more than ten minutes had passed.
Moreover, the Japanese are not attacking now, and no battles have occurred these days, so the Japanese mountain cannons are well protected. When the artillery received the order to remove the canvas covering the mountain cannons and find the shells, Hu Yizhou had already hung the heavy mortar on the tow truck and drove away towards Lucheng.
