my bright sword career

Chapter 607 Very Satisfied

It can be seen from the telescope that at a distance of more than 2000 meters from the artillery position, a blockhouse covering an area of ​​more than 500 square meters rose from a thick smoke, and the intense smoke covered the entire blockhouse.

All eyes were focused on the bunker, including in the air more than ten kilometers away from the outer positions of the Japanese army, a huge observation balloon was quietly floating in the air.

Under the observation balloon, in a huge hanging basket, an observer was staring at the bunker that was emitting heavy smoke with a high-powered telescope.

Time passed slowly, and after a few minutes, accompanied by a gust of wind, the thick smoke covering the bunker dissipated, and the observers saw the target clearly.

At this time, the blockhouse that was originally two meters thick and three meters high was like a piece of cake that was gnawed by a mouse on one side, and the part on the left side was blown down into a big hole of five or six meters.

The observer grabbed the phone microphone on the side, "Hawkeye reports that the left side of the target has been penetrated, but it is estimated that the combat effectiveness has not been completely lost, and supplementary shelling will be carried out."

"Understood!" Only a simple answer came from the microphone.

One minute later, there were two more dull roars, and two 1-kilogram warheads flew towards the target at a speed of 150 meters per second. Accompanied by two earth-shattering explosions, the bunker was once again shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

"Squeak..."

There was a sudden sound of brakes, and a Willys jeep stopped beside the position of the B4 203mm heavy artillery battalion. The slightly fatter Geng Changshun jumped out of the car.

As soon as Geng Changshun got out of the car, he yelled at a major whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke: "Hu Laoyan... Do you fucking know how to make a cannon? battalion commander!"

Geng Changshun is the oldest artillery battalion commander of the Liantai militia, and also the commander of the artillery group of the Liantai militia on the front line in Taiyuan.

Usually he doesn't often come to the front line to intervene in the front line, but now he ran over angrily, which shows that he is really angry.

Hu Jintian, who was scolded by Geng Changshun, was a little ashamed and lowered his head, but then protested: "Sir, you can't blame me, it's really the problem of this gun."

Hu Jintian is 33 years old this year, and he is an artillery soldier in the Jinsui Army. It can be said that he has played the eleventh artillery so far, and he was only recruited last year.

Logically speaking, how could such an old artilleryman be scolded so badly if he could play with the cannons well.

In fact, the three consecutive rounds of shelling just now went astray, which aroused the anger of Geng Changshun who was watching the battle from behind.

"You boy... Twelve shells, a total of three rounds of bombardment... Except for the first round where the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and let you hit it, the remaining three rounds of shelling on your mother were all off the target, don't you think so?" We have too many shells, how many do you want to dispose of for the group?"

Although the Liantai militia has never asked soldiers to save ammunition, the words of diligence and thrift engraved in the bones of the Chinese people remind everyone all the time that waste is not advisable, even shameful.

A shell of a 203mm howitzer costs 200 oceans. That is to say, if they pull the matchlock, a 98K rifle will be destroyed by them. No matter how rich they are, they can't make it like this.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most terrible thing is that Gao Hongming, Yang Aiyuan, Commander Liu, and a group of division commanders who watched the battle just now saw all the shelling, which made the officers of the Liantai militia It's dull.

Geng Changshun even saw that his regiment's face was darkened, and seeing that the situation was not good, he hurried over to reprimand Hu Jintian, the battalion commander.

"Sir, I was wronged."

Hu Jintian was also very wronged.

"You know that the B4 cannon is very powerful, but its accuracy is also notoriously bad, especially it is easily affected by the wind speed and the amount of ammunition loaded. If it exceeds two kilometers, the shell is easy to miss! "

"I don't want to hear the reason, I just want to ask you a question. Can you hit the devil's blockhouse next? If not, you can tell me as soon as possible, I will let others go!"

Hu Jintian gritted his teeth: "Sir, there is only one way to improve the hit rate, and that is to advance 1000 meters."

"1000 meters, are you crazy?" Geng Changshun was taken aback. 1000 meters was almost within the range of the Japanese Type [-] heavy machine gun, not to mention the Japanese mortars, Type [-] infantry guns, etc. artillery.

"Do you want to be the devil's target?"

"What are you afraid of?" Hu Jintian pointed in the direction of the Japanese bunker ahead, "We didn't transport all the artillery there, we only needed two to three artillery pieces.

We used the mobility of the B4 to move quietly to the devil's bunker. As long as we aimed at the Japanese bunker and fired at the same time, we could at least knock off the devil's tortoise shell. "

There is no doubt that Hu Jintian's proposal is more risky. If it is not good, it is very likely that the Japanese army's bunker will not be hit, but a few artillery pieces and gunners will be added instead.

But then again, once this plan is successful, after knocking out the solid fortifications built by the Japanese army with steel bars and concrete, the next battle will be much easier to fight, and it will also greatly reduce infantry casualties.

"Okay, I'll give you another half an hour. I want to see the results in half an hour. Can you do it?"

"Sir, don't worry, if you still can't make a hit at 1000 meters, you will take my hat off!" Hu Jintian said confidently.

"boom!"

Half an hour later, a 203mm concrete penetrating bomb hit an underground fortress in the center first. The warhead easily penetrated the two-meter-thick wall made of reinforced concrete, and then exploded inside.

Accompanied by a loud noise, this fortress, which the Japanese army had given high hopes to, was like a watermelon that exploded. Numerous pieces of concrete, broken limbs, and fragments of various firearms and ammunition flew into the air.

"it is good!"

At a hidden observation post five or six kilometers away from the outlying positions, the commanders of the joint headquarters, including Gao Hongming and Yang Aiyuan, looked at the solid Japanese fortifications that had been blown to pieces by shells and applauded loudly.

Sun Chu said with emotion: "The fortifications of the Japanese army were all poured with concrete and steel bars, and the thickness of the surrounding walls even reached two or three meters thick.

Such fortifications are generally difficult to penetrate with 75mm artillery or even 100mm artillery. In the past, if we wanted to take down such fortifications, we could only rely on soldiers to fill them with their lives. Outer positions are much easier! "

"Indeed!"

Master Liu also pointed to the front and said, "Ningji Okamura never imagined that the East Gate bunker group, which he had placed high hopes on, would be so unbeatable.

As long as we knock down the bunkers outside the east gate, we can launch a general offensive. I estimate that the battle will be over in three to five days at most. "

Mr. Liu, who is calm by nature, can say such words, it is obvious that he is very satisfied with the progress of the current battle situation.
