Chapter 135 Long-range bombardment tactics
When the machine gun and cannon were covered, Shimizu Dojo stood up, held a telescope, staring at the opposite hillside, furious and chilling in his heart.
The Chief of Staff looked at the dead accomplices and guards, and was very scared.
If he had slower reaction, he and Shimizu Dojo would definitely die. At that time, when he rushed to Shimizu Dojo, he clearly felt the bullet passing by his head, bringing up the sharp wind of death. After entering China for so long, he felt that the God of Death was so close to him for the first time.
Shimizu Dojo lowered his head, looked at the corpse beside him, and roared: "Go forward, move forward quickly, our first 3,800 people in the first wing are going to be the first to rush into Kyoto, and start killing, killing, killing, killing!"
Under the roar of Shimizu Dojo's hoarseness, the First United accelerated and began to rush wildly, with significantly faster speeds, and the rolling traffic headed towards Kyoto, China, full of murderous intent.
Their first goal is to take Jurong, but to reach Jurong, there is still more than a hundred miles to go, which takes at least three hours. Of course, this refers to the normal situation. If an abnormal situation occurs, it is hard to say.
During wartime, if the road is normal and the marching is normal, that is abnormal.
At this time, twenty miles from the torrent of the Japanese army, on a small hill, Shi Hongfei, the leader of the "Architecture Group", was holding a telescope and observing the road in the distance, staring at the rolling yellow dust in the distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After the "Hawkeye Squadron" reconnaissed the military situation, he immediately sent a telegram to the Wild Wolf Valley to explain the enemy situation. Yue Gang's mission to Shi Hongfei was to use a mortar to beat the Japanese on the road, bombard the enemy from a long distance, and leave after the bombing.
Below the hill, twenty 90mm type 97 90mm mortars are being debugged.
Some of these mortars were seized by the Japanese, and the other part was given by Hu Feiyan, her uncle Major General Hu Lian.
Major General Hu Lian learned Yue Gang's tactics and tactics, "inverted triangle position", Mao'er piercing, and reverse inclined position, annihilated a large number of Japanese soldiers, greatly reduced casualties, and shot down five Japanese fighter jets. Principal Jiang was very happy and praised him. Major General Hu naturally reciprocated and learned that the "Iron Fist Special Attack Team" lacked mortars, and immediately supported him.
Yue Gang received the mortar and was naturally very happy. He handed it all over to Shi Hongfei's "Architecture Team" and asked him to bombard the Japanese troops.
Because the "Hawkeye Squadron" clearly reconnaissance of the Japanese marching and reconnaissance of the distance between each military vehicle, tank, armored vehicle and military vehicle, Shi Hongfei was confident and had already determined the coordinates clearly.
How to determine the coordinates, this is very simple.
It is to set up a "coordinate bar" next to the highway and set up several consecutive lines.
The coordinates are replaced by bamboo poles, which is not eye-catching, and the Japanese driving will not pay attention.
However, Shi Hongfei and his brothers used the coordinates and bamboo poles to set the coordinates tightly to ensure that the shells landed at the coordinate points. In order to achieve the perfect state, three shells were also tried to correct them. Of course, the cannon pit was refilled without revealing flaws.
In normal times, there is no coordinate bar when fighting, and only rely on gestures to visually measure it. Often, there are deviations and must be constantly corrected. But with coordinate bar, it will be like a tiger adding wings, and the landing point will inevitably be accurate.
No such thing happens in positional warfare, but it can be done on highways, because the road is dead and the coordinates are fixed. Unless the Japanese convoy can fly into the sky, they will be hit.
Yue Gang believed that the highway was the blood vessels of the Japanese and their life-seeking covers, which not only allowed them to march quickly, but also made a road to hell that died.
The second stage task of the "Iron Fist Special Attack Team" is to become a road domineering and road god, to fight bloodyness, to show majesty, and to achieve great results.
In this way, other Chinese troops followed suit, learned to block roads, use roads to annihilate the living power of the Japanese, and destroy their heavy weapons. Even if the results of one battle are not big, the amount of accumulation becomes more, and the sand accumulates into towers. If you fight too much, the results of the battle will be amazing.
Shi Hongfei is very confident in this battle.
Although the hill is three thousand meters away from the highway and is far away, the 97 90mm mortar has a range of 3,800 meters, which can hit the highway.
Yue Gang's plan was to retreat quickly after hitting a base of one-sixth of the shells.
In later generations, the ammunition bases of various types and caliber guns were different. The general ammunition base standards for our army were: 40 bazooka 8, 82 recoilless guns 20, 60 mortars 60, 82 mortars 120.
Yue Gang stipulated that the base of Type 97 mortars is 120, one-sixth is 20, twenty or twenty, that is four hundred shells.
The 9th Division's First Regiment had 3,800 people, more than 100 military vehicles, as well as ten tanks, five armored vehicles, as well as ammunition vehicles, artillery vehicles, medical vehicles, food vehicles, water trucks, etc., and a total of more than 200 vehicles were formed on the road.
It is hard to say how much damage the four hundred shells cause to this snake, it depends on luck. For example, if the Chinese ammunition truck just happened to be bombed and caused a death-destruction, it would be developed. The ammunition fired everywhere would blow up many Japanese devils.
Soon, Shi Hongfei discovered that the Japanese reconnaissance team had arrived.
He quickly hid himself, lying behind the stone, and observed carefully.
The reconnaissance team had about fifty people, driving a military vehicle, five side three wheels, carrying a heavy machine gun, five light machine guns, and ten grenade launchers. Under the leadership of a second lieutenant, they rushed over with great momentum.
The Ninth Division was blocked by a broken bridge for so long, and it had been suffocated. Two hours ago, they were attacked by snipers. The corps captain Qiemizu Dove was almost shot dead, two majors, one major in the corps, and more than a dozen guards of the corps captains were even more furious.
This also reminded Shimizu Dojo, who was worried about whether he would encounter another disaster, so he sent a reconnaissance team to reconnaissance first, and it was a powerful reconnaissance.
The second lieutenant sat in the front three-wheeled car, holding a telescope to observe the surroundings. Whenever he found suspicious points, he carried out fire reconnaissance, machine gun strafing, and grenade launcher bombardment, which was simple and crude.
His reconnaissance range is within two thousand meters from the highway.
Why is this? Because this distance exceeds the effective range of heavy machine gun strafing, let alone rifles. If the enemy is ambushing, the best distance is more than 300 meters, and reconnaissing two thousand meters is definitely enough. Without an enemy, you will be so stupid as to ambush two thousand meters away. That's a fart. People at two thousand meters look like match sticks, so I ask you how to hit it.
Shi Hongfei knew this and naturally did not worry about the other party's reconnaissance. The brothers and the mortar positions were behind the hills and could not be seen from the front. The mortars were curved cannons, which did not affect bombardment behind the hills.
The Japanese lieutenant discovered the hill here, but he didn't care, because the place was about three thousand meters away from the road and was not suitable for ambushing at all. Even if everyone on the other side was a "ghost", it would not work. The "ghost" was three thousand meters away, so it would not hit the target.
"Shoot, shoot, bomb, bomb!"
The second lieutenant commanded the knife to wave his sword towards the bushes on both sides of the road.
"Dadada..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The suspicious bush was a scapegoat and was blown into pieces and flew into the air.
The second lieutenant held the telescope and observed carefully. He found no suspicion. He led the reconnaissance team forward and continued to conduct fire reconnaissance along the way.
