Heavy mortars refer to large mortars with a caliber of more than 100 mm, a total weight of more than 94 kg, and a maximum range of about 8 kilometers.

During World War II, mortars have become the basic equipment of infantry. Light mortars can be used as platoon and company-level firepower, and heavy mortars can be used as battalion and regiment firepower.

Although the artillery team temporarily formed by Liu Feiyang at this moment, with the Northeast Army artillery as the main force, does not use MO-120-RT-61 heavy mortars for shooting.

It’s not a Type 63 107mm lightweight towed rocket launcher that can be launched with just one dry battery.

But Liu Feiyang's second round of counterattack mortars was the M1938 120mm heavy mortar.

Although the weight of the m1938 120mm heavy mortar is only one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the howitzer of the same caliber.

But it can shoot at high speed and bombard targets behind bunkers.

It's just that Liu Feiyang only loaded 5 of these heavy mortars.

Moreover, the base number of cannonballs is not very large.

So it's just a short period of fierce fire support.

Once the cannonballs are gone,

Liu Feiyang’s artillery team,

You can only use the remaining m-2 60mm mortars and gr.w.34 80mm mortars.

As for the 82mm PM-41 mortar and 107mm PM-38 mortar like the Soviet army, there are no M-43 160mm heavy mortar, and M-160 160mm mortar.

Explode until these equipment come out.

As for the 240mm mortar, 280mm mortar, 600mm Karl gun, and 914mm large and small mortar, there is no explosive load.

In addition, there is a 120mm PM-38 mortar that can only be owned by the Soviet Army level, but it is out of stock.

Because Liu Feiyang has already used all 17 of these heavy mortars.

The ammunition of the 20mm mortar is mainly of type 843 anti-personnel blasting grenade. The total bomb weighs almost 17 kilograms, has a charge of 1.4 kilograms, and has a very large killing radius, which can reach more than 30 meters.

But it's also because it's too heavy,

Therefore, the 12 120mm PM-38 mortars in the early stage were unable to move quickly when bombarding the Japanese troops testing firepower.

So when Liu Feiyang asked the artillery squad leader's Jinbao to finish the bombardment,

Just blow up the cannon immediately,

Move artillery personnel lightly.

So now there are only five 120mm PM-38 mortars left that can be used.

And it was also because the heavy mortars were too heavy at this moment, and Liu Feiyang did not have the carriage troops to pull these heavy mortars for transfer.

So the result is the same,

That is, after all shelling of Type 843 anti-personnel explosive grenades is completed, all personnel on the artillery position must be immediately transferred to take over other artillery positions in preparation for counterattacking the retaliatory shelling by the Japanese troops.

"..."

"Baga!"

"The Chinese Army can actually possess heavy mortars?"

"And it's such a lethal mortar?"

"Where do they get their supplies from?"

"These heavy mortars don't look like German weapons and equipment!"

Compared with the shocked and exclamatory reactions of the captain Masao Kosaka and the shocked exclamations of the artillery squadron leader Kaguya Tsuruta, the young staff officer Mitsuru Takenouchi was the first to react from the same shocked expression, and his mind was full of doubts and curses.

After a while he said.

"Let our artillery team launch an artillery counterattack immediately!"

"In addition, let our heavy mortar team prepare for a counterattack immediately!"

"Let these hateful Chinese troops also come and see the power of our Type 96 mortar with a caliber of 150 mm, and the ferocious firepower of our Type 2 120 mm heavy mortar!"

At the same time, young staff officer Takenouchi Mitsuru also immediately issued combat orders to the messenger Ito Kazuo not far away.

"Hai!"

"I'll do it right away!"

Kazuo Ito, the younger brother of Junji Ito, the captain of Team Ito, immediately nodded and bowed his head and replied.

Then he immediately went to convey the order for artillery counterattack.

"This China Army is really not an ordinary China Army!"

"Who is the new company commander Liu Feiyang?"

"Could he and the troops he led be one of the mysterious ace troops hidden by the Chinese military government?"

Seeing Kazuo Ito's figure hurried away, young staff officer Takenouchi Mitsuru narrowed his eyes, even more suspicious that Liu Feiyang's troops were not ordinary national army troops, and murmured to himself.

The Type 96 mortar weighs more than 700 kilograms, and the Type 2 120mm heavy mortar also weighs 260 kilograms.

Therefore, to transport these heavy heavy mortars, the Japanese army also needed transportation tools.

Therefore, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army was equipped with 4 to 6 guns.

Therefore, these heavy Japanese mortars are one of the trump card weapons and equipment mainly used by artillery regiments directly under the division level to provide fire support during division level battles.

During World War II, the Soviet army only needed 6 to 9 artillery pieces to form a mortar battery.

So after Liu Feiyang experienced the first round of counterattack,

The configuration of all his subsequent artillery positions will be deployed according to this number of artillery pieces.

Because its number of artillery and artillery personnel are limited.

This can be seen from the first round of 12 120mm PM-38 mortars that bombarded the Japanese artillery positions.

There are not enough people in the artillery unit, so the time it takes to counterattack, as well as the time for shelling,

They are all relatively long.

If he hadn't been caught off guard by the fierce fire from his own artillery group,

I'm afraid that Liu Feiyang's temporarily formed artillery team was counterattacked by the opponent's artillery group before it could finish attacking the opponent.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!——"

"Quickly shoot all these artillery shells for me and prepare to move the position again!"

"The Japanese artillery counterattack is coming soon!"

And when the Japanese artillery team was about to receive the order to counterattack,

Jin Bao was also shouting loudly from the artillery position.

And around him was the sound of bombardment,

It was deafening.

With Jinbao's vigorous urging, there were only five 120mm PM-38 mortars in total, and the bombardment became even more rapid.

And at this moment Liu Feiyang,

They have also led other members of the army out of the Maoer hole one after another.

"Ergou, Rongfu, you will immediately take your respective sniper rifle units and light and heavy machine gun units to prepare for battle in case the Japanese infantry tanks attack!"

"But it must be outside the range of the enemy's artillery fire!"

"Otherwise we will be killed by the Japanese artillery and many brothers will be injured!"

"As for me, I still need to prepare for air defense and personally assist the artillery team in the third round of counterattack to bombard the Japanese's new artillery position!"

As soon as the cat's ear holes were drilled out, Liu Feiyang gave direct orders to Li Ergou and Jin Rongfu.

"Yes! Company commander!"

Li Ergou and Jin Rongfu immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, without any nonsense, they took their sniper rifle team and light and heavy machine gun troops to quickly arrive at the defense line deployed early in the morning, waiting for the enemy's infantry tanks to attack.

Liu Feiyang, on the other hand, led a small group of artillery personnel from the Northeast Army and immediately entered the first artillery position.

Waiting for the enemy's latest artillery position to counterattack,

Then, after the observers on your side have observed the location of the Japanese's latest artillery position, they can immediately launch a retaliatory artillery counterattack.

The target of this counterattack is

Liu Feiyang and Jinbao both agreed in their hearts that they must kill as many Japanese artillery squadrons as possible, or directly shell the Japanese field artillery regiments.

When Liu Feiyang entered the third reserve artillery position,

He was also drinking his deputy, Cai Guomin, a soldier from the Northeast Army, and operating the pp93 60mm long-range mortar together, while waiting slightly nervously for Jinbao's artillery team to complete the bombardment.
Chapter completed!
