Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 846 Heavy Cannon!

Gu Xishui is the commander of the Special Forces of the Four Elements Regiment. Although he has not received formal training in the concept of special operations, and all the concepts of special operations come from Tang Dao's explanations, Gu Xishui is very receptive .

The special forces needed by the Four Elements Regiment were not to be the eyes of the whole regiment, but to be the eyes of the whole regiment, able to see corners that the commander couldn't see, so that the commander could formulate tactics that were more effective against the enemy.

The special forces are also part of the group of the Four Elements Regiment, not that they are independent of the group because they are elite, stronger in skill, and more accurate in marksmanship.

Therefore, the target of Gu Xishui's search was never an individual, but a valuable tactical target. For this reason, he even ordered Shen Laoliu to give up killing a Japanese army captain who hurriedly broke into 400 meters away.

He was unwilling to easily expose such a good latent point, which was less than 1000 meters away from the Japanese follow-up troops.

Finally, he found the tactical target he wanted - an artillery squadron that the Japanese army was advancing.

Matsumoto's face on the right door was ugly, but if no one saw his slightly blue knuckles gripping the handle of the command knife, they would not know how nervous he was, the captain of the rapid-fire gun squadron.

This should be a battle situation that Captain Matsumoto Youmon has never experienced in the past five years since he joined the army. In broad daylight, the sky is bright, and the road is smooth, the main force of the alliance is surrounded by the Chinese. What is the situation?
If it didn't happen right in front of his eyes, even if someone put a knife on the neck of the Japanese artillery captain, he would say it was a joke.

But the fact is right in front of our eyes. The dense gunpowder smoke soaring tens of meters away from thousands of meters away, it is not scary that the gunshots can travel so far. What is scary is that the gunshots can make the eardrums hurt after such a long distance. No matter how many guns are firing, Matsumoto right door will not think that it can be created by two infantry brigades.

Not them, it can only be Chinese!

'The Chinese are very cowardly, but that is because they are asleep. If the empire does not take advantage of their sleeping opportunity to occupy their entire territory, the empire will have no chance!Those stupid bureaucrats saying the Empire isn't quite ready is the dumbest thing I've ever heard! 'This sentence is the opinion expressed in class by Captain Matsumoto Rightmon's teacher at the Artillery School.

Captain Matsumoto Youmon trusted his teacher who had served as the captain of the artillery regiment. He was not only extremely proficient in warfare, but also had extraordinary attainments in Eastern history and culture, especially ancient Chinese history.

What he meant was very clear. China was in the weakest period in its thousands of years of history. If the empire did not launch an all-out war against China, it would lose this most precious opportunity.

Thousands of years of history!This ancient oriental civilization has a long history of development that makes Matsumoto Youmon shudder, especially when the earliest written records in Japan are only about 2000 years old.

In terms of the depth of civilization, China is an adult, and Japan is just a child.

In such a civilization, even if they are asleep, will the severe pain wake them up?

Therefore, Matsumoto Youmon, who has learned a lot from his teacher, has always been deeply afraid of China, an ancient country. Even if he followed the division and won many victories, he never let down his vigilance against China.

But today, the alliance is really struggling!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 regiment from reinforcements. According to the news from the front, the Chinese used unbelievable heavy machine gun firepower, far surpassing the first infantry brigade. The assembled heavy machine gun squadron of the three brigades.

Could that be an infantry division?Or even an infantry corps?Matsumoto right door 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 get close to the front line.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes, the military order from the regiment headquarters came, and the 6 rapid-fire guns of the rapid-fire gun squadron needed to get close to the front line 500 meters, to eliminate the firepower of the Chinese heavy machine guns, and to wipe out the infantry's upcoming "Long Live Charge" Clear obstacles!
"Damn it, the Chinese have only exposed their heavy machine guns now, and their artillery hasn't entered the battle yet. My rapid-fire artillery squadron is so close, isn't it afraid of being bombarded by Chinese mortars?" Matsumoto Youmen silently complained to himself Your Excellency the regiment captain.

Yes, for the Japanese army, the Chinese lacked heavy artillery, so that they did not have to worry about being wiped out by a heavy artillery, but the Chinese had a small-caliber mortar that gave them a headache.

That thing is not small, but it is very flexible. It fires a few shots, moves the gun body and mounts, and runs away. Unless there is a large-scale artillery group to suppress it, otherwise, within a range of more than 2000 meters, that kind can also kill people. The small-caliber artillery of the company is like an annoying wild dog. It will give you a few bites when you have time.

The rapid-fire gun is a direct-point gun through and through, and it can hit armor and fixed fortifications with one shot. There is no way to deal with this kind of 'wild dog' hiding at least more than 1000 meters away.

Matsumoto's instinct told him that if the mortars that the Chinese hadn't brought out were ready, they would be waiting for artillerymen like him who approached the front to shell.

The two artillery squadrons, the mountain artillery and the infantry artillery, were at least 1000 meters away from the rear of the entire front, and their security was much stronger than his.

But the military order is hard to violate, no matter how unwilling the Japanese artillery captain is, he still has to go.

"Order the distance between each cannon to be more than 60 meters. At the same time, the artillerymen should be 50 meters away from the artillery. After firing ten rounds, each team should immediately change the firing point!" Matsumoto right door looked at the burning wasteland in the distance, bit He gritted his teeth and ordered.

This is already an extremely cautious distance. Unless there is a cluster of heavy artillery shelling, otherwise, the 4 kg mortar shells alone will not cause heavy losses to his squadron.

Before the officers of the two Japanese infantry squadrons began to undress to show their bravery, Matsumoto right door waved the chrysanthemum flag in his hand, "Fire!"

At the same time, the 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns and 24 grenadiers of the Third Infantry Battalion, which were stretched wide enough, also roared.

The infantry artillery and mountain artillery in the distance also roared one after another!

In addition to the thick smoke from burning withered grass, the position of Leng Feng's third battalion was also mixed with a lot of gunpowder smoke!

This is already the greatest support Ishiguro Sadazo can give to the Third Infantry Battalion, and the three artillery squadrons directly under the regiment headquarters have done their best.

Of course there is an effect!
Nine people from Li Jiujin's Seventh Company had been killed in battle, all of them were killed by shelling!
The power of the incendiary bombs launched by the [-]-type mountain artillery looked terrible, but because of the effect of a large amount of clear water and high-end gadgets such as gas masks, although the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Company felt that they were about to be steamed, they could actually bear it.

But what is the consequence of an incendiary bomb falling directly into a trench and exploding?Even though the soldiers tried their best to keep the individual soldiers more than 3 meters apart, the splashing flames and high temperature still swept the three infantry into a burning man in an instant.

The skin of the soldiers who were frantically rolling in pain in the trenches scorched and fell off in an instant, and only one soldier who was extinguished by his comrades in arms soaked in water and fresh soil was still breathing, but he struggled to tell the company commander Li Jiujin who came over. The last sentence is: "Give brother a happy time!"

That was Li Jiujin's request that he could barely hear by putting his ear close to the soldier's lips.

"It hurts!" All that was left was the grief squeezed out of the veteran squad leader's throat!
If it weren't for extreme pain, how could a veteran squad leader cry so wantonly?
Just, no tears!
Not only was the violent roasting almost drying out the moisture in his body, but the terrible flame even burned his eyelids and glued them together.

Being hit by a bullet, even if it is skinned by a shell, it only hurts in one place. Even if it hurts so much that you cry for your father and mother, your comrades desperately wrap it with a hemostatic bag and cotton cloth, thinking that you are still waiting for your father Mother, even if you grit your teeth, you have to survive.

But this kind of burns on more than 90.00% of the whole body, really, can't hold it anymore, it is pain all over the body, the skin and the burnt military uniform are stuck together, a little touch, like thousands of needles Body thorn.

What's more terrible is that if you can endure this severe pain and survive in the end, it's okay, but unfortunately, let alone this era, even in the next 100 years, the survival rate of this level of burns will not exceed [-]%. .

In other words, there is no salvation!
Li Jiujin looked at the soldier who was so burned that he couldn't even see his brows and eyes clearly, and his tears were streaming down his face!

The one who can call him Brother Li Jiujin is naturally not an ordinary soldier. He is the squad leader of the fifth squad in the second platoon under him. He has followed his soldiers since he was the squad leader. The Sixing Warehouse did not leave him behind, and the brutal Songjiang battle only earned him a medal
However, he fell on this seemingly stable battlefield, and the semi-automatic rifle in his hand had only emptied one magazine before.

Li Jiujin knew that this brother who had been with him for at least two years was hopeless, even though he was still trying to open his mouth and breathe desperately!

When Tang Dao was making the incendiary bomb, he asked Tang Dao if he was burned by the incendiary bomb, if he was still alive, would he be saved?

Tang Dao glanced at him at the time, thought for a moment, and answered him: "Although the Japanese are cruel, their way of dealing with it is right."

Although Tang Dao didn't answer directly, the veteran Youzi's heart trembled suddenly at that time. After the Japanese infantry was ignited by the incendiary bomb made by Tang Dao, the Japanese military officer's usual practice was to put out the fire first, and then shot them immediately after finding it was useless. kill.

The Japanese are more aware of the outcome of extensive burns than the Chinese. The so-called first aid, the only function is to let the wounded fester in the incomparable pain, and then die!

"Brother, you can go at ease! Your parents, from now on, will be my parents, Li Jiujin. If I'm gone that day, there will be Xiao Shan, Leng Battalion Commander, Lei Tuan Vice, and Tang Tuan Zuo on top! Li Jiujin hugged the burnt body into his arms and whispered in his ear.

The soldiers whose eyes were already glued together tried hard to open them, but they couldn't do it anyway. There was only a sad "cluck" sound from the throat that was about to be scorched.

Then, his body froze suddenly, and his right hand with only three fingers firmly grasped Li Jiujin's arm that was holding him. After more than ten seconds, his whole body was limp in Li Jiujin's arms, and he let out his last breath slowly.

The tears in Li Jiujin's eyes came out of the frame!

Tears washed wantonly on his face that had been blackened by gunpowder smoke and withered grass firework. The white and black face looked a little funny, but in this kind of flames that were still exploding all around, there was an indescribable feeling. tragic. '

This is a paragraph written by Tantai Mingyue on the back of a photo in her private album.

As the captain of the medical team, knowing that the third battalion is facing the most dangerous battlefield, Tantai Mingyue personally took 6 nurses and 30 stretcher soldiers to stand by in the second-line trenches of the third battalion. Hearing that someone was injured, Tantai Mingyue took the nurse He rushed into the trench with the stretcher soldiers at risk.

Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene.

Company Commander Jiujin, who was known as the most slick and talkative in the regiment, was crying like a child while hugging a soldier who had been burnt to black charcoal.

The army captain who was tearing wantonly, the flames and air waves were surging on the edge of the trench, forming a tear-jerking picture.

It belongs to the instinct of a reporter, so Tantai Mingyue, with a camera hanging on her chest, pressed the shutter. She didn't want to record sadness, but to record Chinese soldiers and everything they did on the battlefield.

Sacrifice is part of the battlefield.

However, the next scene made Tantai Mingyue stunned, she finally understood why the veterans who returned from countless bloody battlefields were so sad.

Slowly withdrew the bayonet in his hand from his brother's heart, looked back at the soldiers of the fifth squad squatting around who had already burst into tears, and Li Jiujin's hoarse voice came out: "Don't cry, tell me If anyone is hit by an incendiary bomb and burned into black charcoal, they will be treated accordingly to make the brothers feel comfortable, and I will do the same!"

Tantai Mingyue's throat choked up, trying to stop Li Jiujin's cold and ruthless order, but she didn't open her mouth after all. As a medical team leader who had mastered basic medical knowledge, she knew too well the cruelty of burns.

Death is happiness, and life is the greatest torture!

"Captain Tantai, please help convey to the chief of the regiment, when can you put the incendiary bomb he made into the cannon and shoot it out. If you burn my brother to death, I will come back sooner or later." Li Jiujin, who hugged his brother's charred remains tightly, stared at Tantai Mingyue with rare solemnity.

Tantai Mingyue nodded fiercely!

Because only in this way, the infantry company commander who sprinkled tears may allow the stretcher soldiers to take away the regrets of the soldiers who have died.

An eye for an eye, that is the temperament that the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment are condensing, just like their regiment chief.

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, he listed incendiary bombs as the first batch of researched ordnance in the military factory. .

The power of the special bomb combined with the characteristics of the incendiary bombs of the cowboys in the future can be much higher than the low-level incendiary bombs currently used by the Japanese army. It is much more difficult in terms of technology and material requirements.

Fortunately, the solid knowledge of the physics, mechanics, and chemistry department students possessed by the student company is much better than the high-achieving students who will be entangled in middle and high school in the future and completely let themselves go in college.

Especially in an environment where the nation is in peril, it is destined that they can only be squeezed out of [-]% of their potential.

Except for the three soldiers who were burned to death by incendiary bombs, the Japanese army's mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and the rapid-fire artillery under Matsumoto's right door were not for nothing.

The 37mm rapid-fire gun can break through 50mm armor, and the two layers of sandbags that can resist heavy machine gun bullets are like paper in front of its copper warhead.

An observation post hidden in a heavy machine gun fortification was smashed by a rapid-fire artillery shell together with the fortification.

Several other soldiers were either hit by shrapnel or blown away by the air waves. This was the result of not having time to dig anti-gun holes. If they encountered the 105 howitzers equipped by the Japanese army, the two infantry companies at the front of the third battalion would I am afraid that if one third of the life can be survived after a bombardment, it is already an eye-opening ending for God.

Fortunately, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was confident enough not to carry that kind of heavy artillery, which also saved Leng Feng's [-]rd Battalion from being wiped out.

However, the Japanese army did not have heavy artillery, but it does not mean that the Four Elements Regiment did not.

Pang Haihai's cannons had been waiting for fire on the south bank of the Bihe River.

Then, he waited for an order from the regiment headquarters.

Gu Xishui reported the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions he observed to the regiment headquarters using the field radio from the hiding place.

"Distance, 2600 meters, elevation angle 58°" After the artillery passed through the camouflaged position, the sound of Pang Haihai roaring at the telephone was almost transmitted to the six 6-caliber mortar positions without using telephone lines.

6 150 mortars, have been waiting for this opportunity.

Because the firing range of the 150 mortars is relatively short, at most only 3300 meters, if the Japanese artillerymen smelled the crisis and ran a little farther, they could only stare blankly. Just bombing the Japanese infantry is not the artillery's ability.

Kill the Japanese artillery first, then bomb the infantry, and beat them thoroughly, that's what Tang Dao wants.

"On board!" The two infantry squadrons, led by a group of shirtless idiots in winter, got up from the ground, roared in unison, and charged 200 meters away.

That momentum is really, earth shaking.

But that only lasted less than three seconds.

"Fire!" Gu Xishui coldly hit the send button.

"Fire!" Tang Dao pointed at the phone.

"Fire!" Pang Dahai waved the red flag of the order himself.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Matsumoto, who had been nervous all the time, shuddered down the right crotch of Matsumoto.

The Japanese artillery captain rolled into a small pit with extremely agile evasion, which was the position he had aimed for a long time ago. As long as he was not hit head-on by the shell, his probability of survival was higher than 80.00%.

Then, Captain Matsumoto Youmon, who was alive, saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

"Boom!" sounded.

With a radius of nearly [-] meters, no matter the human body or the vegetation, they are all powder!
That is, heavy artillery!
Chinese heavy artillery!

Since then, until the end of the shelling, the head of Captain Matsumoto Right Gate has been buried in the earth pit like an ostrich, and he never raised his head.
