Chapter 865, fry for half an hour
"Guerrilla artifact? That's impossible, it's just that it's just a vague appearance!"
Well, if there is a live broadcast system for fighting Japanese devils at this time and Hu Yizhou can hear the calls of military fans, then he would definitely say that.
Well, he was right. Except for the appearance of these 107 rocket launchers, which are the same as the Type 63 107 rocket launcher and the caliber is 107mm, the rest are not a little bit different.
Whether in terms of range or accuracy, it cannot compare to the original guerrilla artifact.
First of all, in terms of range, because the propellant made by the arsenal is not good enough, this version of the rocket launcher can fly more than six kilometers at most, which is still two or three kilometers away from the original.
As for the hit rate? When the range is not solved, the arsenal did not consider this issue much. Although the hit rate of this rocket launcher itself is not very high, and it relies on firepower to attack the enemy, it is still within the general coverage.
And the rocket launcher built by Jiuzhai Arsenal... well, except for the direction of the rocket flying, everything else is up to be discussed.
So, why should Hu Yizhou bring such a half-baked 107 rocket launcher? Isn’t this a trap for his own soldiers? That won’t be.
First of all, there were six modified trucks in front of the convoy as fortresses, and secondly, there was a guard company on the side as guards, and the soldiers who fired rocket launchers were very safe.
Of course, Hu Yizhou did not intend to let the rocket launcher approach. He only needed to conduct long-range strikes on the Japanese artillery tower and bunkers across a kilometer. He just regarded it as the first product of experimental rockets and accumulated experience for the arsenal's technicians.
After the convoy came down from Erdao Slope, it began to drive south along the highway. At this time, the first company of cannons that had been hiding in Erdao Slope, which had not appeared, also carried 10 doors and 82, carrying boxes of cannonballs, and pulling a long string of pack-carriages and pulling ammunition behind the convoy.
The combat mission of the First Cannon Company was very simple, and cooperated with the convoy and the guards to attack the Japanese positions from the east.
With the First Cannon Company, this is the coordination of insurgent artillery; plus those modified vehicles that are barely considered as assault vehicles, the firepower of the First Guard Company is quite fierce. Of course, there is still several kilometers away from Erdaopo to Nanweiquan River Valley, and the First Guard Company has to wait for an attack.
Not only did the guards have to wait here, but the Third Battalion also had to wait here, because they had just climbed up the north slope of the East Mountain and had to walk on the mountain for a while.
And this period is the time when the artillery soldiers show their power.
"Jiujiujiu...boom boom boom..." Heavy mortar shells hit Dongshan, hit the Japanese bunker, and even hit the Japanese machine gun bunker, causing great psychological pressure to the Japanese.
Although the security regiment's ground forces have not launched an attack, looking at the artillery shells that are constantly exploding near the bunkers, the new Japanese soldiers who have not experienced much combat experience are hiding in the corners of the bunkers or artillery towers, trembling.
Some Japanese soldiers who had never been on the battlefield simply urinated their pants in fear.
"Baga, you cowards, pigs, and red deer! Look at what you are now? What is the difference between you and lambs that are placed on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered? In your state, any enemy can kill you!"
A Japanese squad leader stood in the artillery tower, watching his subordinates being scared, and was so angry that he jumped up and scolded.
"You are now soldiers from the country, no longer fishermen, farmers! You all take up your weapons and guard the shooting ports. The enemy will initiate the attack at any time...uh..."
Thump... Before the captain finished his words, he was hit by a cannonball flying in from the shooting hole and fell to the ground.
"Squad leader... The team leader was killed by the bomb! Come on..." The Japanese were even more scared...
Time passed quickly, and the bombing had been going on for half an hour. Even though the artillery bombing was not very frequent and had a few rests in the middle, it consumed more than a thousand 120mm.
Of course, the effect is also good. At least on the south slope of Dongshan, the artillery soldiers have cleared a large minefield for the Third Battalion and created countless craters of all sizes, which is enough for the soldiers of the Third Battalion to safely approach the Japanese bunker group.
Not only that, under the guidance of observers, the artillery bombed the fortification cluster in the direction of the Sanchakou, and also bombed and demined the river valleys on both sides.
But... although the artillery bombed very accurately and the power of the shells was very high, the killing and damage to the Japanese soldiers was limited.
This is the limitation of mortars. This kind of curved artillery is very effective against infantry on the ground and has strong lethality against enemies hiding in trenches or behind shelters.
However, once you face a bunker and a bunker with a strong fortification on the top, the effect will be much worse.
Especially the Japanese fortifications here at Sanchakou were built very strongly by the 109th Division and the subsequent Japanese in the 36th Division. Mortar shells had almost no destructive power to the top of these fortifications.
"Captain, the artillery battalion has completed the first wave of bombing the Japanese fortification group, and the minefield has also been bombed. Ask the battalion commander if you want to replace it with pepper bombs?" Bi Youjin said to Hu Yizhou, who was in charge of the command center.
"Where is the third camp?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"Report, the Third Battalion Commando said that the Third Battalion Commando that went up early was already on the top of Dongshan Mountain and could launch an attack on the bunker groups on both sides of the east and west at any time!" Bi Youjin said.
"Have the Japanese from Licheng direction sent reinforcements?" Hu Yizhou asked again.
"The telegram just sent by Platoon Commander Hu Jin said that the troops in the Japanese City seemed to be gathering, but they did not leave the city!" Bi Youjin said.
"It seems that the Japanese are not afraid of mortars alone. Then let the cannon camp replace it with pepper bullets and let the commando of the third battalion approach the sniper!" Hu Yizhou said.
"I understand!" Bi Youjin went to pass the order.
"Tell the team leader, you'll change it right away!" Xiang Dongfang said after receiving the call.
"Tell the battalion commander that we received it. When the Japanese are exposed, we will kill them!" On the top of the mountain in Dongshan, Xu Shengqun, the first company commander of the Third Battalion, also shouted loudly at the telephone that was temporarily pulled up.
"Okay, now listen to my orders, attack the first group and move westward, and establish an attack position 600 meters from the Japanese Fortification Group; follow me with the second group!" After putting down the phone, Xu Shengqun divided the assault group of more than 100 people into two groups, preparing to snipe the Japanese soldiers who were smoked from the bunkers.
at the same time……
"Youjin, please keep in touch with the Eighth Route Army. Once there is any situation at the Japanese airport, please notify me immediately!" Hu Yizhou said to Bi Youjin who had finished calling.
