Chapter 19, How can there be mortars?
"Captain, do you think what that person said is reliable? Does the Japanese really have such a unit?
It’s too extravagant to hold a machine gun. How many bullets will be used in a battle?”
In Yangcun, the first battalion, as the mobile force of the entire regiment, is always on standby.
The first battalion commander Zheng Haiyun accompanied Kong Jie and stared at the map in the house.
The Independent Regiment was developed with its original backbone and expanded its organization. The weapons and equipment were still relatively poor, and the entire regiment had only 20 light and heavy machine guns.
On average, only seven machine guns were fired in each battalion.
Imagine that the enemy's unit was in a company, everyone holding a machine gun...
This is limited by knowledge, and the first battalion commander really cannot understand.
"I don't know how many bullets a Japanese man can use to fight a war, but I know if we encounter it, we will definitely suffer."
Kong Jie raised his head and said with great concern: "No matter how superiors think about it, we must at least pay attention to it.
It’s better to have a false alarm, just treat it as a warning training! It’s not bad to protect the safety of the head of the headquarters.”
The regiment commander said so, and the first battalion commander was not easy to complain.
He sat there with his hands in his arms, his eyes rolling: "Captain, I heard that the artillery regiment at the headquarters had 6 more mortars and more than 700 shells at once.
This callback gives us one of the students, will there be a chance to stay in our group?"
Kong Jie looked up at the battalion commander, "What do you think? I dare to say that, do you believe that the lawsuit can reach the boss. In the future, our regiment will not want the support of the artillery troops."
The first battalion commander shrank his neck, and he knew that his proposal was unreasonable.
He sighed, "Captain, when I went to the Artillery Corps to borrow artillery, I heard that the New First Regiment had formed an artillery company with four mortars, and was training in full swing.
They are all the main groups, and our regiment doesn’t even have a mortar, this…”
Bang, Kong Jie threw the pencil on the table and stopped looking at the map.
No wonder the first battalion commander talked so much.
The new independent group is the main group, and the weapons and equipment are all one level short of that. It is normal for the people below to have ideas.
But what can Kong Jie do? The independent group is not fighting desperately in any battle, and it is not missing any of the seizures.
But there are only a few things, and Kong Jie can't change them.
As for asking for superiors to apply, there are more people queuing up. When it's their turn to stand up, it's already unknown how many years of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Maybe, it's time to find a way to build a relationship."
Kong Jie subconsciously thought of Yuan Lang who was still in the regiment. He took 6 mortars and more than 700 shells at one move.
As soon as this big financial owner spoke, the artillery company would not dare to expect it. Is it enough to create an artillery platoon?
If one or two dozen machine guns could be used, the firepower would be doubled, and the title of the independent group's main group would be firmly established.
"Boom, boom..."
The explosion suddenly sounded, and Kong Jie stood up: "It's the direction of the cliff behind the village, the Japanese are really here!"
"Quick, emergency gathering!"
The first battalion commander immediately ran out of the house and blew the arranging horn.
...
With the explosion, Yuan Lang, who was half asleep and half awake, opened his eyes after a flash.
"Yamamoto Ichiki, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
In order to wait for Yamamoto's special forces, he has not had a good sleep for three nights. After today's battle, he can have a good sleep later.
"Get up, go and have a fuck with me!"
The two soldiers in the room, like Yuan Lang, slept in the clothes.
When I heard the explosion outside, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes. Unexpectedly, there would be a ghost to attack.
The two of them followed Yuan Lang out of the house.
The mortar has been assembled and placed in the yard and can be used at any time.
Two soldiers guarding the mortar had pried open the ammunition box.
"Lingling ~"
The telephone line rang, and for the timely shooting, it specially tied a telephone line with the frontier positions.
The soldier who answered the phone loudly recounted the location of the second battalion commander.
In that area, Yuan Lang had calculated the location of the artillery map drawn in the newspaper, and adjust the firing of the various elements to accurately attack the enemy.
"Three consecutive shots, emergency shots."
"Bang, bang, bang."
A skilled artillery fires shells at the enemy's position at a speed of one shot every two seconds.
front.
The falling artillery shells immediately scrapped the Japanese team that was hiding behind the bunker and shooting wildly at the Eighth Route Army.
Three bodies were blown out from behind the bunker by shells.
"Okay, beautifully played!"
Chen Quan shouted loudly, his face full of pleasure.
It was really too frustrating and cowardly to fight before.
At the beginning, when the Japanese entered the mine formation, Chen Quan thought he was sure to win.
The Japanese entered their ambush circle and were even severely injured even if they were endless.
However, the facts told him that he took these Japanese devils too lightly and took himself too seriously.
The mine explosion, coupled with the sudden attack of all the soldiers in the company, and the sudden fire of the light and heavy machine guns did cause considerable damage to the enemy.
However, the remaining Japanese reacted very quickly and looked for bunkers on the spot to fire and counterattack.
The machine guns in their hands are very powerful and their marksmanship is also very accurate.
With a short shot from dada dada, the warrior who showed his head was knocked down.
The grenade launcher was very accurate, as if it was controlled by elite veterans in the Japanese army, with one shell and one fire point.
In less than two minutes, two crooked hands, and one 92 style was completely shut down.
The firepower was suppressed by the enemy, and the soldiers of the fourth company were suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads.
Now, Chen Quan is almost confused. Did he ambush the Japanese or the Japanese ambush them?
After all, the Japanese have too fierce firepower and extraordinary combat literacy. This is the first time that the Independent Regiment has encountered such a powerful enemy.
He was crushed by the enemy in all aspects.
Fortunately, there are mortars.
The enemy's grenade cannon cannot reach it and can still suppress the enemy's attack.
Boom boom boom boom!
Through the phone, Chen Quan kept reporting the enemy's position and guiding the bombardment of the mortar.
The fierce Japanese were suppressed at once and no longer dared to stay in one place for a long time, and the rhythm of the counterattack was forced to be interrupted.
"Comrades, hold on, the regiment commander's support will arrive soon." The fourth company commander controlled the light machine gun and fired at the enemy while encouraging the morale of the soldiers.
"Da da da da!"
A short shot came to the front, and the fourth company commander, who had just finished speaking, was shot in the face and fell down.
"Company Commander!"
The warrior on the side glanced at the company commander's body, roared in pain, and took over the position of the shooter.
The crooked machine gun, which was still spraying bullets, welcomed the fourth shooter in this war.
The first three men all fell not far away.
