Chapter 926 Artillery Support
The cheetah commando led by Lei Yunfeng heard the continuous sound of gunfire sounding on the hillside of the right wing, and not only Fang Shichao said: "Achao, immediately place the four earthen armored vehicles you modified at the foot of Yaowangtai Mountain.
Fang Shichao turned around and left, quickly drove the modified earth-armored vehicle in front of him, jumped out of the vehicle and rushed to Leiyun Peak and asked anxiously: "Boss, will you use the earth-armored vehicle to fire at the Japanese army occupying the position of Yaowangtai?"
"You have a good look at the terrain and you have any problems."
"Report to the boss, the earthen armored vehicles are too close to Yaowangtai and have too large elevation angle. Under such unfavorable conditions, it is difficult to ensure that the mortar can accurately land on the Japanese artillery positions, which means it is difficult to use artillery fire to destroy the Yaowangtai positions occupied by the Japanese army."
"What I want is specific data, not 'hard', 'even', and I will immediately solve the problem."
"Yes." Fang Shichao turned around and jumped on the nearest earth armored vehicle and ordered the artillery to quickly remove the protective iron plates on three sides of the earth armored vehicle. At this time, each earth armored vehicle exposed two mortars and a heavy machine gun.
Fang Shichao instructed the artillery to quickly adjust the artillery position. After a period of testing, the gunner shouted in embarrassment: "Deputy Commander Fang, the designated target of the artillery fire strikes Yaowangtai is too close, and the elevation angle of the mortar is too large. Once the artillery is fired, it will not only fail to hit the target, but it is very likely that the shells will rise and fall in front of our artillery position, which will easily hurt your own people."
At this time, Leiyun Peak jumped onto the earthen armored vehicle, looked at Fang Shichao and asked, "Achao, what do you think after fiddling with him?"
"Boss, the gunner is right. It is too close to the position of Yaowangtai and the elevation angle is too large. Once the artillery is fired, it is probably difficult for the shells to land on the designated target. Once they land in front of the position we occupy, they will explode, which will bring devastating blows."
"Anyway, you, an expert who has learned artillery technology in Germany, must send the artillery fire from the earth armored vehicles to the Japanese artillery positions and infantry positions of Yaowangtai, to attack the Japanese army with firepower, and cover the 1st battalion of Deputy Commander Wang of the 102nd Regiment to launch an attack."
Fang Shichao heard Leiyun Peak give such an unreasonable order, frowned nervously and pondered for a minute. Suddenly, he squatted down and dismantled a mortar, and ordered the gunner beside him: "Demolition of all the eight mortars from the four earth armored vehicles and transfer them to the high slope 35 meters behind him, and the speed should be fast."
Leiyun Peak heard Fang Shichao's order to dismantle the mortar, and then ordered the dismantled mortar to transfer the removed mortar to the high slope 35 meters behind him, and immediately understood Fang Shichao's purpose of doing this.
In order to use artillery fire to strike the Japanese position set up on the Yaowang Platform as soon as possible, Lei Yunfeng ordered Li Guiyong: "Captain Li, order the cheetah commando to assist A Chao in quickly transferring the eight mortars to the high slope behind him."
After everyone's efforts, eight mortars were transferred to the designated position in less than 20 minutes. Fang Shichao quickly adjusted a mortar based on the Japanese artillery position and infantry position that occupied Yaowangtai provided by Leiyun Peak.
Arrived on a hillside not far from Yaowangtai ahead of time, not far from the Yaowangtai position, three cheetah commandos who were performing the observation mission in a big tree canopy immediately issued flag words to the soldiers responsible for receiving the message based on the observed coordinates of the enemy position.
The flag-speaking soldiers loudly convey the received technical parameters while accepting the flag-speaking.
Fang Shichao compared the positions of the Japanese Yaowangtai position parameters and the relevant information provided by Lei Yunfeng to him. While repeatedly checking, he quickly adjusted the gun position. When he thought the adjustment was in place, he personally stuffed a shell into the gun chamber.
As the shells emerged from the chamber, a shell broke through the air and landed on the Japanese position of Yaowangtai with a sharp roar. When an explosion was heard, a burst of smoke and fire rose into the sky at the Japanese position of Yaowangtai.
Wang Shoucheng, who led two flag-speaking soldiers to observe the movements of the Japanese artillery positions, found that the explosion range of the artillery shells landed on the Japanese position in Yaowangtai was severely deviated, and not only quickly issued and corrected the target parameters for the artillery fire strike.
Fang Shichao slowly but nervously corrected the mortar gun position based on the parameters provided to correct the target of artillery fire. When he felt that the correction effect was met, he picked up a shell and stuffed it into the barrel again. As the shell flew out and fell on the Japanese position, he obtained the flag words sent by Wang Shoucheng. The artillery fire hit the Japanese artillery position.
Leiyun Peak did not wait for Wang Shoucheng to issue artillery fire correction parameters again using the flag language, and ordered Fang Shichao to correct the parameters of the other seven mortars as fast as possible according to the orders he issued, and to destroy the Japanese artillery positions with the most violent artillery fire.
The mortar that corrected the parameters, eight shells flew out of the barrel almost at the same time, and flew towards the Japanese artillery position of Yaowangtai with sharp roars. With violent explosions, a series of explosions were exploded at the Japanese artillery squadron positions, and the Japanese artillery position was destroyed almost in a very short time.
The Japanese artillery squadron leader, Okabe Keimao, was commanding the artillery to use artillery fire without any targets. Deputy Commander Wang Jinglun of the 102nd Regiment, who was bombing and attacking, led the attack organized by the 1st Battalion. Unexpectedly, he would suddenly be hit by several consecutive artillery shells falling and exploded. The artillery position was severely damaged, and more than half of the soldiers were killed or injured.
Captain Noda, who was organizing the Japanese firepower to block the attack of the 1st Battalion, heard the sudden burst of continuous explosions from the artillery position behind him, and not only turned around and looked at the artillery position that caused the explosion to rise into the air.
"Bastard, why did the shells explode? Okabe Zhio is really a bastard who is not good at making trouble."
Captain Noda is a subordinate commander with a rich combat experience. When he discovered that the explosion of the artillery position was caused by the artillery fire from the foot of Yaowang Taishan, he not only shouted in horror: "Bastard, how could the artillery fire of the Chinese troops exert the power of artillery fire strikes at the foot of the mountain, quickly find the target, and must destroy the artillery position in the Chinese state."
Wang Jinglun, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion of the 102nd Regiment, heard a sudden violent explosion on the Yaowang Platform and found the smoke and fire rising from the air. He immediately realized that it must be Lei Yunfeng using artillery fire to cover them to launch the fiercest attack on the Yaowang Platform.
Deputy Commander Wang waved his pistol and shouted: "Brothers from Guanzhong, friendly troops use artillery fire to support us. The Japanese who are now standing in Yaowangtai have been hit hard by artillery fire. We must bravely move forward and regain our lost Yaowangtai position."
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion heard the order of Deputy Commander Wang to launch the most fierce attack on the Japanese positions in Yaowangtai and regaining the lost positions. They were like tigers, bravely launching a crazy attack on the Japanese positions in Yaowangtai.
The soldiers rushing in front fell down. The soldiers behind did not have time to look at the heroic brothers at their feet, and rushed to the Japanese position of Yaowangtai with bloody tears. Their only hope was to regain the position of Yaowangtai even if they died at the gun of the enemy.
Leiyunfeng heard the gunfire of the right wing attacking the Japanese position of Yaowangtai more and more intense. Following the sound, he could confirm that he was advancing quickly towards the enemy position.
He decisively ordered Fang Shichao: "Achao, immediately provide the Noda Squadron's position to defend his position according to the flag words sent by Wang Shoucheng, and fire a gun to completely destroy it.
Eight mortars fired several shells again, roaring on the Japanese Yaowangtai position. The shells exploded and killed and injured a large number of Japanese devils. Captain Noda, who was commanding the battle, was blown to the ground. In a short time, the Japanese army lost their commander.
