Chapter 677 Potential Inspiration
Pang Dahai and Artillery Company Cliff are the only ones in the Independent Battalion!
Not to mention half of the pack horses in the baggage company specialize in transporting shells for artillery companies, the food of the artillery company officers and soldiers is better than that of the infantry. Even if they distribute potatoes, one artillery has one more than the infantry.
No one has ever complained about this kind of "unfair" treatment. For example, a erotic face like Li Jiujin likes to talk to Tang Dao.
Tang Dao just said: "Then in this way, the artillery guns and shells will be brought to you by the Second Company. I will give you two more potatoes per person in the Second Company!"
Li Jiujin shut up quickly.
Artillery is not only a technical force, but also a job of strength. If you don’t have enough strength to carry artillery shells, who will guarantee the artillery fire support of the infantry? In fact, everyone in the independent battalion understands this principle, and it is normal for the better food and treatment.
Moreover, infantrymen know the importance of artillery companies to them. If they encounter difficult sections on the marching road, they often do not hesitate to help the artillery transport the heavy gun bodies and shells over.
But even such a company that was favored by the entire battalion was scolded by Battalion Commander Tang one day, and he was still merciless.
Even Pang Dahai was very aggrieved. The entire company had just come down from the "conscienceless artillery" gun position and returned to the mortar position. The observers of each artillery squad were still desperately calculating the coordinates of the positions set up by the Japanese army in a hurry, so that there was a gap in artillery fire, causing the Japanese grenade launchers scattered in the valley to launch a frequent counterattack.
"The artillery platoons, the platoon leaders and squad leaders of the artillery squad have all listened to me. The commander said that if my artillery company doesn't give the Japanese grenade launcher, I will go to the kitchen squad, and there are only one squad leaders of the kitchen squad. Then you guys will go to the kitchen squad to help me. Steam steamed buns that should be steamed, and take the blame! My grandma's legs, don't even think of any of them." The fat meat on Fat Dahai's face shook, and he stared at his big eyes to give orders to the squad leaders of his subordinates.
The lieutenants dispersed and shouted at the top of their voices to increase the speed of artillery preparation.
"Damn it, hurry up and hurry up. If I were punished to go to the cook, you all must have no salt when you are a gangster, and it will hurt your teeth when you eat!"
"Damn it, it's embarrassing. I've lost all my face by you."
"Did you see my face? This is not the company commander's red face, but the slutty red face. No matter how good it is, I won't kill the Japanese grenade launcher. I will take you with you to carry a rifle to fuck them."
The roars of officers and soldiers were rising and falling on the positions!
If you don’t become an official, you can’t lose your face. If you take the big iron pot on your body, they may not be able to get rid of the title of “taker” in this life.
Of course, this does not mean to mock the cooks. After all, if they want to have a hot meal on the battlefield, they have to rely on the efforts of the cooks. But as a combat army, they can't overcome this hurdle, let them be cooks mainly composed of the temporary joining the Songjiang green and strong men. Isn't it?
This is the legendary sense of honor for soldiers.
Although the Independent Battalion has not long been formed, its grassroots officers and backbones are the 88th Division, the 67th Army, and the elites of the 43rd Army. After the integration of the old and new forces in the past half month, the soldiers have gradually forgotten their original identities and regard their own companies as their homes.
He was scolded by his own platoon leader and even said harsh words that would hurt his teeth when eating vegetables without salt. Who among the artillerymen was still holding back their energy?
It originally took ten minutes of artillery fire preparation, but two minutes were missing.
As the little red flag waved, ten mortars lined up in the open space behind the ridge opened fire one after another.
Yes, the current artillery company of the Independent Battalion is not only equipped with 6 mortars before, but also as high as 14. They were mortars owned by the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army, and were borrowed by Tang Dao from Commander Rao personally.
Four mortars were ordered to be transferred into the Cold Front's first company to strengthen their defense, while the remaining 10 were controlled by the artillery company of the vast sea.
If the most terrifying weapon at the Japanese infantry squadron level is a grenade launcher with a range of up to 500 meters, then the weapon at the Chinese infantry regiment level that makes the Japanese cry the most is the mortar.
The 81mm diameter is much larger than the 50mm diameter of a Japanese grenade canister, and the power of the shell weighing 4 kilograms is naturally far beyond that. What's even more terrifying is that its range of up to 2,500 meters and a radius of 2.5 kilometers is almost no dead corners on the battlefield.
Apart from having no choice between armor and permanent targets, this thing is a nightmare for infantrymen for pure infantrymen.
However, Pang Dahai did not completely follow Tang Dao's order to suppress the Japanese grenade launchers. Those guys were veterans. Their chosen locations were hidden and scattered, and they were very slippery. Once they were found to have shells landed around, they would immediately move.
There is no telephone or radio contact between the artillery observer and the artillery, so there must be a time delay. It will definitely be more than worth the loss when fighting in this way.
Therefore, Pang Dahai ordered all mortars to attack Japanese infantry.
Because the Japanese army began to build fortifications to resist, the goal was clearer for artillery observers.
For the Japanese infantry in the valley, what is even more serious is that the temporary field positions they built with their lives can basically only defend against bullets, and have no ability to resist such mortars falling from the sky.
So, in the next ten minutes, an extremely strange situation appeared on the battlefield.
The Japanese grenade launchers kept blowing up smoke in the mountains and forests, and loud noises kept ringing in the river valleys.
The grenade launcher could not hit the mortar behind the ridge, and the mortars ignored them and caught the Japanese infantry who were trying to establish positions.
This time, it was not like the "conscienceless cannon" that just hit a few random shots, and wherever they were thrown, the mortar was precisely bombarded, and the second shot was not hit by one shot, and the second shot, the third shot, and the fourth shot followed.
Shallow trenches and stones can block bullets, but they cannot stop such shells falling from the sky.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The stones on the river beach have once again become accomplices of the mortars. Countless gravels burst out everywhere, blowing the Japanese infantry to the face of blood.
For a moment, the howlings on the river beach even exceeded the rumbling cannons.
In fact, there are more injured than dead.
Some were hit by splashes of shrapnel, and some were injured by gravel like a meteor fist. In comparison, the Japanese infantry who was directly thrown away by the air waves and was basically exhausted when they fell off were more comfortable.
At least, you don’t have to enjoy the pain that hurts the bone marrow.
Think about it, what does it feel like to embedded a stone as big as an egg into the flesh? It is so severe that it makes people twitch and the pain is second. The large number of bacteria carried on the stone is far more terrifying than copper warheads. If the wounded soldiers do not have penicillin, 90% of them will die of bacterial infection.
Of course, the Japanese army can't think of so many times at this moment. If you don't work hard, it will be difficult to survive until tomorrow, even if you can survive this afternoon.
The Japanese army, who were beaten up by a mortar, finally made a desperate move. Heavy machine guns and infantry cannons finally took the risk of firing, trying to cover the infantry to attack the mountain again.
"Okay, Pang Dahai is doing a good job. Let me tell Pang Dahai and kill all the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army. I will give him a first-class merit to the artillery company!" Tang Dao's eyes lit up.
Compared with those infantry cannons that could only fire blindly at the mountains, the 20 heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese army were the ones he wanted to quickly solve the major problems of the battle. As long as they were killed, the Japanese army could not stop the charge of independent battalions equipped with dozens of submachine guns and nearly a hundred crumbling guns by relying on rifles alone.
Yes, once the scouts from Qinglongling Village discovered that the main force of the Japanese army was moving toward this side, Tang Dao did not think about it, he could only use his last move to solve the enemy in the valley.
Otherwise, when the remaining soldiers here join forces with the main Japanese army, hundreds of officers and soldiers in Qinglongling Village will become abandoned children completely, and no one can survive.
But the Japanese army was also very smart. They did not dare to take out the heavy machine gun positions before they were built. They mainly used light machine guns and more flexible grenade launchers to cover the infantry's attack.
But now, seeing that the infantry is constantly being ravaged by the opponent's artillery, if you continue to play like this, you will sooner or later die. You have to risk your weapon at the bottom of the box.
These are all the credits of the artillery company. The precision artillery bombardment in more than ten minutes made the Japanese infantry blow up miserably. Although the Chinese infantry on both sides also suffered dozens of casualties due to the crazy fight back against the Japanese grenade launchers.
They were almost scolded by Tang Dao, can the artillery company not burst out with all its potential?
Even the artillery company commander Pang Dahai is now personally responsible for the gunner of a mortar, using two thick palms to adjust the various parameters of the artillery at high speed according to the coordinates transmitted by the artillery observer.
