Chapter 270 It feels good to bully the devil
In the general perception, the transportation of shells is very dangerous, but it is not the case.
Large caliber artillery usually has fuzes, shells and shell casings, and fuzes are only installed before firing.
Small caliber artillery, such as the mortar used by Gao Jiu and others, has a safety helmet on the fuze of the shell. Before firing the cannon, the safety helmet still has an insurance pin in the fuze of the shell after firing. It must have a large impact force to cut off the safety pin and then detonate the bomb.
The explosives filled in the shells are TNT explosives, which are very safe. Even if they are directly hit by a bullet, they will not cause an explosion. Therefore, even if the bullet hits the body of the mortar shell, it will not cause an explosion.
Under normal circumstances, tnt explosives need to be detonated with high temperatures generated by detonators. Under the action of the same tnt explosives at close range, it can also cause an explosion. This is the principle that can cause the shells to explode.
After Jiang Xiaomei and others detonated the explosives buried on the highway, they did detonate some shells, but many of the shells loaded on the carriage were relatively far away from the explosion site. The carriage was just overturned, and the shells on it were scattered around the highway and did not cause a death-destruction.
After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion still gained a lot. They seized a large number of guns, bullets, grenades, and more than 130 mortar shells. A lot of other materials were also seized. In general, it was a fortune-telling transaction.
The most awesome thing was that they seized a complete Type 92 infantry cannon and 48 shells. Jiang Xiaomei and others couldn't play with this thing, so they sent someone to drive and pull it to Gao Jiu and others, and at the same time they also sent the seized platoon shells.
Gao Jiu is of course very considerate to Jiang Xiaomei, a considerate girl. He knew that after the Japanese transportation team was attacked, reinforcements would be sent from Zhiyuan County to search along the way. He was worried that Jiang Xiaomei and others would suffer losses, so he sent Guo Hengming to take his second squadron and follow the vehicles sent by Jiang Xiaomei and the others to return to the base of Jiang Xiaomei and others to help them destroy the enemy reinforcements.
In a forest, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Du Shengxi, Zhang Quan and others surrounded the Type 92 infantry cannon and looked at it.
Although Du Shengxi was born in an artillery, it was his first time to get involved in the Type 92 infantry artillery and he couldn't play with it for a while.
Gao Jiu fiddled with the cannon. He said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I'll tell you..." He introduced to everyone in detail the relevant knowledge of the Type 92 infantry cannon.
Type 92 infantry cannon? It is a very excellent weapon among the Japanese weapons and equipment. The total weight is only 0.212 tons? The requirements for transportation are very low. Untrained animal power or manpower can be towed forward. The transportation can also be decomposed, and the road conditions requirements for the war zone are almost reduced to the lowest point.
The total height is only 62 cm? This still includes the height of the shield. If the shield is removed, the total height will drop to about 50 cm (similar to heavy machine guns). It is very convenient to hide. Taking advantage of this advantage, the Type 92 infantry cannon can be hidden and deployed at a distance very close to the enemy's target? Fully utilize the accuracy/suddenness and fierceness of firepower, and provide the support needed by the infantry as soon as possible.
The firing boundary of the Type 92 infantry cannon is very wide: the lateral firing boundary is 90 degrees, and the high and low firing angle is also nearly 90 degrees. Because the Type 92 infantry cannon is small in size and light in weight? In addition, the center of gravity is low? It can withstand a relatively large firing angle adjustment range. Flexible application of firing angles, flat firing and curved firing can be performed.
Although this kind of artillery is so light, it can fire 3.8 kilograms of high-explosion shells to a very long distance? The effective range can reach 2.78 kilometers.
After hearing this, Du Shengxi felt a little itchy. He said, "Master Jiu, there is such a good guy, let's try it now."
Everyone had already had a sleep and was very energetic. With such a good weapon, they didn't want to wait until night? So everyone told Gao Jiu to try it now.
Gao Jiu had already passed a telegram with Wang Jindong, knowing that the Japanese Army's Type 92 infantry artillery shells had been fired. If the Type 92 infantry artillery was used to attack the Japanese army? With such a large range, the Japanese could only stare at me and have no choice but to stare at me.
He also felt a little itchy with his hands? He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's bully the Japanese!"
Gao Jiu and others freed up two horses? Pull up the Type 92 infantry cannon? He ran towards the county town.
In the evening? They arrived at a place 2 kilometers away from the Japanese position in the east gate of the county town, and stopped to set up artillery.
The summer daytime is long, and now it is 6:30. Gao Jiu can clearly see the scene in the Japanese camp.
He looked carefully and saw that there were many tents in the Japanese camp, some of which were relatively independent and had higher specifications. There were many Japanese soldiers standing guard around, and many of them had antennas on them. Gao Jiu was sure that this was the Japanese command center.
Gao Jiu calculated various data and reported the shooting elements. He said: "Elevation angle 24, direction 85."
Du Shengxi adjusted the position of the muzzle according to the shooting elements given by Gao Jiu. An artillery soldier opened the bolt and filled the barrel with a 3.8 kilogram high-explosion shell.
Du Shengxi spitted into his palm, grabbed the cannon rope and pulled it hard. With a "boom", the muzzle spewed out of flames and smoke, and a cannonball flew out of it.
Except for Gao Jiu, everyone held up telescopes to observe the shooting effect of the shells.
Others still need to test the cannon, and then adjust according to the bounce point. Gao Jiu didn't need it at all, so the first shell directly drilled into a Japanese tent.
Everyone saw it clearly. The tent was blown to pieces in an instant, and the situation of the Japanese inside could be imagined.
Du Shengxi kept firing and accurately hit the Japanese command center one by one.
Gao Jiu and others calmed down for almost the whole day. Obaofu was still glad that he thought those hateful guys would only dare to harass them at night. Unexpectedly, these hateful guys came so early.
He was very lucky. After dinner, he went to the field hospital to visit the wounded and escaped by luck. He picked up his telescope and observed the shells. He could see that a Type 92 infantry cannon was being fired there, and there were many attackers standing around.
He immediately ordered a counterattack, but unfortunately their Type 92 infantry cannons had no shells, and the mortars could not be so far away, let alone machine guns and rifles, they could only endure the enemy's bombardment.
He had no choice but to order two squadrons of Japanese troops to destroy the enemy's artillery positions.
After Du Shengxi fired more than twenty shells in one breath, Gao Jiu saw the Japanese coming out and said, "Old Du, stop firing, pull the cannon and evacuate quickly."
Du Shengxi quickly packed up the cannons, pulled them on with a horse, loaded the unfinished shells on the carriage, and quickly left.
Gao Jiu and others did not evacuate. They set up a formation and waited for the Japanese to come. They had just added a batch of mortar shells, which just happened to teach the Japanese a lesson. If that's the case, the Japanese were only these people, and they killed one less.
The Japanese hated these attackers so they had already prepared for it. They had no cavalry now, but they were not short of horses. They found some soldiers who could ride horses, rode on those pack horses, and ran quickly towards Gao Jiu and others.
To deal with such targets, Gao Jiu and others were too lazy to use machine guns and platoons, so they directly used sniper rifles to deal with them.
Needless to mention the snipers, even the ordinary special forces members showed their power. Everyone shoots freely, and shoots a scattered gun. The 50 Japanese soldiers are not enough for the team members to enjoy the gun.
In a moment, the Japanese were killed more than forty times, and the remaining seven or eight Japanese were so scared that they turned around and ran away. However, they could not escape the precise shooting of Gao Jiu and several snipers, and were soon all shot off the horse.
Gao Jiu is now very fond of war horses. He saw that there were many horses on the battlefield. Before the Japanese behind him leaned over, he ordered the mortar gunners to bomb the Japanese directly. Then he asked Wang Zhankui to take his cavalry to snatch the horses back.
The two squadrons of the Japanese ran forward desperately with their short legs. When they were still one kilometer away from the enemy, the enemy's mortar shells flew over. They really didn't understand that the enemy's shells could hit so accurately at such a long distance.
Gao Jiu and others fired more than forty mortar shells, and basically hit the enemy group. Soon they discovered that the Japanese turned around and fled back.
Without receiving the order to stop the attack, the Japanese retreated automatically, which is very rare in the history of the 128th Brigade.
These Japanese were all from Nomura Brigade, and they were really scared of being beaten. Nomura Brigade originally had nearly 1,100 people, but now there are less than 300 people in total.
Obaofu was rare to get angry because he also began to feel fear of these elusive attackers.
Gao Jiu and others saw that the Japanese retreated, and they stopped when they saw that they were better. When Wang Zhankui and others led the horse back, they retreated in the direction they came.
This battle has gained a lot, at least more than 200 Japanese devils were killed and more than 30 batches of horses were seized. Although these horses were much worse than war horses, they were all treasures for carrying supplies, pulling carriages, etc.
After bullying the Japanese, Gao Jiu and others were in a good mood, and everyone walked slowly and chatted.
Today's Taohuashan Special Forces have added a lot of Sichuan soldiers and Shanxi soldiers after the introduction of the team members. Du Shengxi also introduced seven or eight Shaanxi soldiers.
One of them is from northern Shaanxi, named Ergazi, who sang very well in northern Shaanxi folk songs and is now a machine gunner in Zhang Quan's first squadron.
Zhang Quan was very excited, and he shouted, "" Ergazi, let's sing a paragraph."
Ergazi sang at the top of his voice. He sang a song "Walking to the West". His voice was really good and very loud.
The brothers from Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion were so happy that they were not to be outdone. One of the soldiers sang a song of Yimeng tune, which was also very nice.
Many of the guerrillas and brothers from the cavalry battalion could sing and they all started humming happily.
At this time, the sunset was full of sunset and the fields were green. The anti-Japanese soldiers were talking and laughing leisurely in the melodious and melodious singing. At this moment, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere seemed to have passed away from the war-torn era.
As night fell, both sides knew that this night was destined to be calm.
Commander Song of the 69th Division, opposite the Daqing River, sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, saying that the Japanese army had left Zhumadian for part of the 38th Division and drove towards Nanyang. The 69th Division had received an order from the military headquarters to evacuate Hanhuadu Ferry tonight, return to Jining, and wait for the order to evacuate towards Nanyao.
Commander Song said he was sorry and asked Wang Jindong to ask for more blessings.
After receiving the telegram, Wang Jindong felt no pressure at all. He is now full of confidence and firmly believes that he will definitely win this battle.
Wang Jindong had the upper hand in the battle with the Japanese army, and his mind became more and more flexible.
Seeing that night was coming, in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking at night, he conveyed the tricks he thought of to the frontier positions.
