Chapter 846 Heavy artillery!(1/2)
Gu Xishui is the commander of the special forces of the Four Army Regiment. Although he has not received the study of the concept of formal special operations, all the concepts of special operations come from Tang Dao's time-consuming explanation, Gu Xishui has a strong ability to accept it.
The special forces needed by the Four Lines Regiment is not the amazing combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, but the eyes of the entire regiment and the corners that the commander cannot see, so that the commander can formulate tactics that can better strike the enemy.
Special forces are also part of the group of the Four Army Groups, not because they are elite, stronger and more accurate in shooting skills, they are independent of the group.
Therefore, the target of Gu Xishui's search was never a personal but a valuable tactical target. For this reason, he even ordered Shen Laoliu to give up sniping and killing a Japanese Army captain who broke into 400 meters away in a panic.
He was unwilling to easily expose such a good lurking point, which was less than a thousand meters away from the Japanese follow-up troops.
Finally, he found the tactical target he wanted - an artillery squadron that was advancing forward by the Japanese army.
Matsumoto's right door looked ugly, but if no one saw him holding the slightly blue knuckles of the knife, he would not know that he, the captain of the rapid-fire cannon squadron, would be nervous.
This should be a battle situation that Captain Matsumoto's Right Gate had never experienced in the past five years of joining the army. In broad daylight, the world was bright and the road was smooth, and the main force of the corps was actually surrounded by the Chinese. What's going on?
If it weren't for it, even if someone put a knife around the neck of the Japanese artillery captain, he would have said it was a joke.
But the fact is right in front of you. The strong smoke from a thousand meters away surged into the sky for dozens of meters. It is not scary to hear the gunshots so far. What is scary is that the gunshots can make the eardrums hurt after such a long distance. I don’t know how many guns are firing. Anyway, Matsumoto’s right door would not think that they could be created by two infantry brigades.
If it’s not them, it’s only Chinese!
‘The Chinese are cowardly, but that is because they are asleep. If the Empire does not take advantage of their sleep to occupy the entire territory, the Empire will have no chance! Those stupid bureaucrats actually said that the Empire is not fully prepared. This is the stupidest view I have ever heard!’ This sentence was the view expressed by Captain Matsumoto’s teacher at the Artillery School in the classroom.
Captain Matsumoto Yumen trusted his teacher who had served as the captain of the artillery regiment. He was not only very proficient in combat, but also had extraordinary attainments in Eastern history and culture, especially ancient Chinese history.
His meaning is very clear that China is in the weakest period in thousands of years of history. If the empire does not launch a full-scale war against China, it will lose this most precious opportunity.
Thousands of years of history! This ancient oriental civilization has a long history of development that made Matsumoto Yumen tremble, especially when it was compared with the earliest Japanese written records, which was only about 2,000 years old.
From the perspective of civilization, China is an adult, and Japan is just a child.
Such a civilization, even if they are sleeping, will severe pain awaken them?
Therefore, the teacher learned a lot from the teacher that Matsumoto Youmen has always been deeply afraid of China, an ancient country. Even if he followed the division and team, he never relaxed his vigilance against China.
Today, the wing was really in a tough battle! The Chinese not only surrounded the two infantry brigades with heavy troops, but also sent blocking troops to prevent the last infantry brigade of the wing from providing reinforcements. As the news came from the front, the Chinese used incredible heavy machine gun firepower, far exceeding the gathering heavy machine gun squadron of the Third Battalion.
Could it be an infantry division? Or even an infantry army? Matsumoto's right gate instinctively felt fear, but he knew that no matter how many troops the Chinese army had, his rapid-fire artillery squadron could not escape and had to approach the front line.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the military order from the corps headquarters came. The rapid-fire cannons of the rapid-fire cannons of the rapid-fire cannons of the rapid-fire cannons of the rapid-fire cannons needed to approach 500 meters from the front line, to solve the Chinese heavy machine gun firepower and clear the obstacles for the infantry's upcoming "Long Live Charge"!
"Damn it, the Chinese have only exposed heavy machine guns now. Their artillery has not yet participated in the war. My rapid-fire artillery squadron is so close that I am not afraid of being shot by Chinese mortars?" Matsumoto's right door silently complained about his corps captain.
Yes, for the Japanese Army, the Chinese lack of heavy artillery, which prevented them from being wiped out by a heavy artillery, but the Chinese had a small caliber mortar that gave them a headache.
That thing is powerful, but it is very flexible. You can fire a few shots and run away with the cannon mount. Unless there is a large group of cannons to suppress it, the small-caliber cannon that can also kill people within a firing range of more than 2,000 meters is like an annoying wild dogs. You can give you a few shots when you take the time. While it hurts heartbroken, you can't do anything about him.
The rapid-fire cannon is a complete straight-sighting cannon. It is accurate to use armor and fixed fortifications, but there is nothing to do with such a "wild dog" that hides at least one thousand meters away.
Matsumoto's right door intuition told him that the Chinese had never taken out the mortars that were not properly fixed and were waiting for him to approach the artillery attacks from the front.
The two artillery squadrons of mountain cannons and infantry cannons were at least 1,000 meters behind the entire front line, and their safety was much better than that of him.
But it is difficult to violate military orders, and no matter how unwilling the Japanese artillery captain is, he still has to go.
"Order the spacing between each cannon should be more than 60 meters. At the same time, the artillery soldiers must be 50 meters away from the artillery. After firing ten artillery shots, each team must immediately change the artillery point!" Matsumoto's right door looked at the fiery red wasteland burning in the distance, gritted his teeth and ordered.
This is an extremely cautious distance. Unless there is a cluster of heavy artillery shells, the 4 kilograms of mortar shells alone will not cause heavy losses to his squadron.
Before the officers of the two Japanese infantry squadrons began to take off their clothes to show their bravery, Matsumoto waved the chrysanthemum flag in his hand and "Fire the cannon!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At the same time, the 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns that the Third Infantry Brigade pulled enough to open, and 24 grenade launchers also roared.
The infantry cannons and mountain cannons in the distance also roared one after another!
In addition to the thick smoke burning from dead grass, Leng Feng's third battalion was mixed with a lot of gunpowder!
This is the greatest support Ishiguro Sadatsu can give to the Third Infantry Brigade. The three artillery squadrons directly under the wing headquarters have done their best.
Of course there is an effect!
Li Jiujin's seventh company had nine people killed in battle, all of which were killed by artillery attacks!
The power of the incendiary bomb that the Type 41 mountain cannon began to fire seemed terrible, but because it had a lot of clean water and a high-end thing like a gas mask, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company felt that they were about to be steamed, but they could actually tolerate it.
But what are the consequences of a burning bomb falling directly into the trench and exploding? Even though the soldiers had tried their best to space the individual soldiers more than 3 meters, the splashing flames and high temperatures still swept three infantry into it in an instant and became a fireman.
The soldier who was rolling in pain in the trenches suddenly charred and fell off. The soldiers who were soaked in water with cotton coats and fresh soil were extinguished by his comrades, only one of them had a breath, but he struggled to tell the company commander Li Jiujin that was coming was: "Give your brother a pleasure!"
It was Li Jiujin's request that he tried his best to put his ear close to the soldier's lips before he could barely hear it clearly.
"It hurts!" The rest was all the sorrow that the veteran squad leader tried his best to squeeze out his throat!
If it weren't for the extreme pain, how could a veteran squad leader wail so freely?
But, no tears!
Not only did the violent roast almost dry the moisture in his body, but the terrible flames even burned and stuck his eyelids together.
When you were hit by a gun bullet, even if you were peeled by a shell, it would only hurt in one place. Even if you were crying for your parents, your comrades were desperately wrapping it with a hemostatic bag and cotton cloth. Thinking about it, you still wait for your parents, and even if you grit your teeth, you have to hold on to your life.
But this burn of more than 90% of the whole body can't hold on anymore. It's because everything is painful. The skin and the burned military uniform are stuck together. When you touch it a little, it's like hundreds of needles stabbing the body.
What's even more terrible is that it would be fine if you could endure this severe pain and survive in the end. Unfortunately, not to mention this era, even in the next hundred years, the survival rate of this level of burns will not exceed one percent.
In other words, there is no salvation!
Li Jiujin looked at the soldier who was burned into black charcoal and couldn't even see his eyebrows clearly, and his tears blew!
Those who can call him Li Jiujin brothers are naturally not ordinary soldiers. They are the squad leader of the fifth squad in the second platoon under him. Since he was the squad leader, he has followed his soldiers. He has not died in the Songhu battlefield of the Flesh Mill. He did not leave him in the desperate Sihang Warehouse. The cruel Battle of Songjiang only earned him a medal...
However, it was broken in this seemingly stable battlefield, and the semi-automatic rifle in his hand only had one magazine empty before.
Li Jiujin knew that this brother who had been with him for at least two years was beyond help, even though he was still trying his best to open his mouth and breathe desperately!
When Tang Dao made a fire bomb, he asked Tang Dao if he was burned by the fire bomb. If he was still angry, would he be saved?
Tang Dao glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Although the Japanese are cruel, their handling is right."
Although Tang Dao did not give a positive answer, the veteran Youzi's heart suddenly trembled. After the Japanese infantry was ignited by the incendiary bomb made by Tang Dao, the Japanese officers used the usual practice to put out the fire first, and then immediately fired and shot him and killed him when they found it useless.
Japanese people know the outcome of large-scale burns better than Chinese people. The so-called rescue is the only function of causing the injured to ulcerate all over the body in great pain and then die!
"Brother, go with peace of mind! Your parents, from now on, will be my parents of Li Jiujin. If I were gone that day, there would be Xiaoshan, Battalion Commander Leng, Deputy Lei Tuan, Tang Tuanzuo and others on the top!" Li Jiujin hugged his body, which had already been burnt, and whispered in his ear.
The soldier, who had burnt his eyes, tried hard to open his eyes, but he could not do it anyway. He could only make a sad "clog" sound from his almost burnt throat.
Then, his body suddenly stiffened, and his right hand, which had only three fingers, held Li Jiujin's arm hard and hugged him. After more than ten seconds, he collapsed in Li Jiujin's arms and slowly let out his last breath.
Tears in Li Jiujin's eyes broke out of the frame!
‘Tears washed away his face, which had been smoked by gunpowder and fireworks. His white face looked a little funny, but in this flame that was still exploding around, there was an indescribable tragic sensation.’
This is a passage written by Dan Tai Mingyue on the back of a photo in her private collection of albums.
As the captain of the medical team, he knew that the battlefield faced by the Third Battalion was the most dangerous. Dan Tai Mingyue personally took 6 nurses and 30 stretcher soldiers to stand by in the second-line trenches of the Third Battalion. When he heard someone was injured, Dan Tai Mingyue took the nurses and stretcher soldiers to rush into the trenches at risk.
Unexpectedly, I saw such a scene.
The company commander of Jiujin, who is known as the most slick and slutty in the whole regiment, hugged a soldier who was burned to black charcoal and cried like a child.
The army captain who was flowing with tears, the flames and air waves were surging at the edge of the trench, forming a tear-jerking picture.
The instinct of a reporter made Dan Tai Mingyue, who had a camera hanging on her chest press the shutter. She did not want to record sadness, but to record Chinese soldiers and everything they had on the battlefield.
Sacrifice is part of the battlefield.
However, the next scene made Dan Tai Mingyue stunned. She finally understood why the veteran who returned from the countless bloody battlefields was so sad.
He slowly pulled the bayonet from his brother's heart, looked back at the fifth squad soldiers who were already crying, and Li Jiujin's hoarse voice came out: "Stop crying, pass on my orders. If anyone is hit by the incendiary bomb and burned into black charcoal, he will deal with it as such to give the brothers a comfortable feeling, and the same is true for me!"
Dan Tai Mingyue's throat choked and wanted to stop Li Jiujin's ruthless order, but she did not speak out after all. As the captain of a medical team who already mastered basic medical knowledge, she knew too well the cruelty of burns.
Death is happiness, and living is the greatest torture to it!
"Captain Dantai, please help me tell the leader of the regiment when he can put the incendiary bombs he made into the cannon and shoot them out. I will burn my brother to death sooner or later." Li Jiujin, who was still hugging his brother's coke-like remains, staring at Dantai Mingyue, rarely solemn.
Dan Tai Mingyue nodded fiercely!
Because only in this way, the infantry company commander who was crying might allow the stretcher to transport away the regret of the already-dead soldiers.
For tooth, that is the temperament that the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment are gathering, just like their regiment commander.
Li Jiujin's suggestion was adopted by Tang Dao. After arriving at the destination, under the rock wall of the already famous cave military factory, a special bomb such as a fire bomb was listed as the first batch of military ordnance list to be developed by the military factory.
The special bomb combined with the characteristics of the incendiary bombs of the beautiful cowboys in the future can be much more powerful than the low-level incendiary bombs used by the Japanese army now. It is much more difficult in terms of technology and material requirements.
Fortunately, the students have a solid level of knowledge in the Department of Physics, Mechanics, and Chemistry, which is the most important student who has become a dog in junior high school and college, and who has completely let himself go in college.
Especially in the environment where the nation is in danger, they are destined to be squeezed out with 200% potential.
Apart from the three soldiers who were burned to death by the incendiary bombs, the Japanese mountain cannons, infantry cannons and the rapid-fire cannons under the command of Matsumoto's right gate were not for a good meal.
The 37mm rapid-fire cannon can break 50mm armor and can resist heavy machine gun bullets, two-layer sandbags that are like paper paste in front of its copper warhead.
An observation post hiding in a heavy machine gun fortification was shattered by a rapid-fire cannon shell and fortification.
The other soldiers were either hit by shrapnel or swept away by air waves. This was all because they did not have time to dig anti-aircraft holes. If they encountered the 105 howitzer equipped by the Japanese army, the two infantry companies in the third battalion, who were in the forefront, might be able to survive one-third of the life after a shelling, which would be the ending of God's eyes.
Fortunately, because the 2nd Infantry Regiment was confident enough and did not carry such heavy artillery, Leng Feng's third battalion escaped the catastrophe.
However, the Japanese army did not have heavy artillery, which does not mean that the Four Army Regiment did not have it.
The first company of the Pang Dahai's cannon was already waiting for the fire on the south bank of the Bihe River.
