Chapter 1267 Carl Mortar

"Tuchengjun, we don't have to have other fantasies. The only thing we can do is fight them to the end and delay the most effort, and there is no other choice!"

Looking at the broken mountains not far away, Lianhua Fengji gritted her teeth and looked back at the dark behemoth in the distance.

It comes, it comes again, and the damn Chinese train cannon is coming again!

"Baga Road! Pass the orders and let the imperial warriors in the bunkers and forts retreat to the safe area first. After the damn Chinese army officially attacks, we will fight to the death with them."

Listening to the shocking explosions in the distance, Tucheng Zhengyi's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was full of hatred. He was so eager for the Imperial Air Force to come and fight and blow up all these damn large-caliber attack cannons.

Yesterday, after watching the fire from the other side of the river, Tucheng Masayoshi followed him with a day of worry, and he couldn't even sleep well at night.

But the development of things will not change because of subjective consciousness. What should come will come eventually. Today, it is finally the turn of Tucheng Jingyi’s defense zone.

"Good, beautifully!"

After observing the shelling effect, Pi Shengjun waved his hand with great satisfaction:

"Don't stop other artillery soldiers. Also, don't stop when contacting the Air Force bomber group. First, break all the turtle turtle shells that are reaching, and then we rush up and kill all the Japanese hiding inside.

Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. Today, we must conquer the Huashan Fortress and push the front to the Huangtaishan Fortress!"

The Gustav's giant cannon is expensive. Currently, there is only one Tiger Ben Army, so it is naturally impossible to just rely on its slow shot and fire.

Not only is it slow, the Gustav cannon cannot withstand such high-intensity consumption, so the Gustav cannon's focus is on those fortress turrets that are dangerously terrain but are extremely strong by the Japanese, and defend the main fortress.

At the same time, the Huben Air Force and artillery units must also be carried out simultaneously, and other military targets are not simple to bombard.

Currently, the Tiger Army has heavy artillery, the second only to the Gustav giant cannon is the 600mm Karl self-propelled mortar.

A mortar is a smoothbore artillery with a short gun body, a large firing angle, a low initial velocity, and a high arc ballistic ballistic. The ratio of caliber to the length of the gun barrel is usually below 1:12 to 1:13.

Because its cannon body is short and thick and its appearance is similar to that of Chinese stone mortars, it is called "mortar cannon" in Chinese. It has the characteristics of its short range and great power of projectiles, and is mainly used to destroy solid fortifications.

Currently, the Hu Ben Army is equipped with 4 Karl mortars, which are a tracked self-propelled cannon. The total length is 11.15 meters, the width is 3.16 meters, the height is 4.78 meters, the total weight is 124 tons, the maximum speed is 10 kilometers per hour, and the maximum travel is 40 kilometers.

There are two types of shells in this mortar, one is a 2.2-ton heavy shell with a maximum range of 4.3 kilometers; the other is a 1.575-ton light shell with a maximum range of 6.65 kilometers.

In addition, when necessary, 11.5 times the caliber 540mm mortar can be replaced to significantly increase the range.

The Carl mortar cannon is loaded afterwards, and the ammunition delivery process is supported by hydraulic machinery. Usually, an ammunition transport truck is first used to hang more than 2 tons of warhead to the tail of the cannon and then push the bullet into the chamber with a special push rod, and finally stuff the launching medicine.

The warhead falls vertically at the end of the flight, and can break through a 2.5-meter-thick concrete layer, and then explode under the action of a delayed fuse.

Each Carl mortar cannon is equipped with a 19-person gun squad, including 1 commander and 18 gunners. In addition, the chassis requires one chief and co-pilot.

The Carl mortar cannon is much more powerful than the Gustav cannon. It does not require special rails, and can fire 6 shells per hour, which is quite destructive to fortifications.

But short range is a flaw, and there is no way to fight the Japanese turret head-on.

However, the ruler has a shorter and more strength. The Carl mortar can completely take advantage of its maneuverability to enter the dead corner of the turret, or conduct quick, accurate and ruthless demolition operations against those fortifications that do not have the power to fight back.

"It is necessary to take his life while he is sick! Please rest assured, the brothers are full of energy and will definitely achieve the goal according to quality and quantity!"

Wan Jianwu nodded in high spirits. As long as they could guarantee air supremacy, there would be no reason for them to complete the mission. Even if the Japanese resisted stubbornly, they would be a dead end.

Three hours later, after the artillery soldiers worked together to accurately bombard the bombardment and the bomber bombings, the forts and other strong defensive fortifications on the front of Huashan Fortress were finally broken one by one.

Even the Huangtaishan Fortress, a few kilometers away from the Huashan Fortress, was severely destroyed during repeated bombings. In particular, almost all the artillery was seriously damaged, and most of the artillery was blown up and unusable.

"Brothers, hurry up!"

"It's finally our turn to play!"

"charge!"

"Kill!"

It was already 1:00 pm. The tank and infantry troops who had been waiting for a long time went downstairs and killed the tiger soldiers in various directions towards the outer defense line and main position of Huashan Fortress.

Immediately afterwards, the helicopter troops rushed over, responsible for providing fire support in the air and ruthlessly bombarding the Japanese who dared to emerge.

"Baga Road! The Chinese Tiger Army is coming up, quickly enter the position!"

"The Imperial Warriors fought against the Chinese army!"

"Taozi changed!"

The Japanese soldiers who survived the bombing of anti-aircraft shelters, underground air raid shelters, tunnels and other fortifications shook their heads and crawled out of their hiding place, trying to fight the final death struggle with the remaining fortifications with the Hu Ben Army's position with the remaining fortifications.

...

Beijing Japanese Army North China Front Command.

Although Peking is fighting fiercely, two or three hundred kilometers away, various news has been coming recently, and senior generals of the North China Front Army such as Ting-sama and Tadabayashi Mori-wu still felt the coldness.

After Okamura Yanji was urgently transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Expeditionary Army, Takashima, who was still the principal of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, was promoted to the commander of the North China Front Army on the front line.

After taking office for more than two months, Shimura Ding's butt was still warm and before he could finish the crackdown on the anti-Japanese base in North China, the Hu Ben Army suddenly began to make a big move.

In just five days, the situation in Shandong changed suddenly. The Hu Ben Army conquered the Yellow River defense line in one breath like a tiger, crossed the Tuhai River defense line, and pushed dozens of kilometers along the way.

Now, the Hu Ben Army has conquered more than ten counties in the northern Shandong Plain and is further pushing and crushing the towns in the western Shandong Plain at extremely fast speed.

According to the current trend, within a maximum of three or four days, the entire Shandong Plain north of the Yellow River will completely fall into the hands of the Hu Ben Army.
