Chapter 372 Dominate the battlefield!

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him!
The mountain ridge position is condescending and can cover the left and right 180° battlefield sectors. Zhao Zhangcheng's requirements for the four artillery batteries are very simple. Any heavy firepower unit of the Japanese army must not survive for more than 3 minutes.

Soon, the four mortar companies executed the order, each entered a state of free fire, and fired in accordance with the regulations of the free fire shooting law.

The so-called free-fire shooting method is very simple. With three mortars as the basic unit, company-level observers independently search for high-value targets through optical telescopes. Shooting elements adjust the angles and secret positions of the three mortars, and focus fire on the target.

The advantages and disadvantages of this artillery shooting tactic are very obvious. The disadvantage is that the rate of fire is reduced, and the intensity and range of battlefield fire suppression are reduced. The advantage is that it can attack multiple high-value targets at one time, and the hit rate is significantly improved.

Three guns focus on one target, and four mortar companies focus on eight targets at the same time. In this way, the casualty rate of one's own troops can be greatly reduced.

It is the destiny of the artillery to dominate the battlefield.

Supporting the infantry is the job of the artillery.

In about half a minute, the eight mortar teams successively locked on the high-value Japanese targets in their respective attack sectors. There were a total of three crooked light machine guns, one Type [-] heavy machine gun, and four grenadier teams.

Aim and fire.

"Report, one group is ready!" In less than five seconds, the three mortars completed their preparations.

The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly establish a defense line relying on the road, preserve the vitality, get in touch with the vanguard as soon as possible, and send a report to the division for help.

Where is the direction to break through?

Hearing the wailing of their companions, several Japanese engineers tried their best to raise their dull and dizzy heads, and looked at the place where the explosion had just happened, not knowing what happened.

This is the movement of a five-kilogram Longjian-1 high-explosive landmine exploding, and its momentum is completely comparable to that of a 105mm high-explosive bomb.

As for why I didn't ask the contact division for help, the reason is very simple, no.

The computer gave the shooting elements as quickly as possible, and passed them to the three 60mm mortar groups, and the gunners quickly adjusted their positions and angles.

Decided to go here.

There are a lot of landmines on both sides of the road?

Now, all he has to do is lead the third team to persist for four hours.

"Hi!" The Japanese captain nodded quickly.

"Reporting to the captain, the enemy is now focusing its artillery fire on our light and heavy machine guns and grenades. The machine gun squadron has lost a machine gun squad. Whether to use the [-]-type infantry artillery to counterattack, the enemy's artillery positions are in the mountain ridge area." At the temporary command post of the Third Brigade, a Japanese captain observed changes in the battlefield situation and immediately reported to Cangshan Yuanye.

"They used anti-tank mines to fight against infantry, it's too despicable, too despicable, break out, must break out, this is a terrible army..." Staring at the miserable appearance of more than [-] imperial soldiers, Cangshan Yuanye's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear. Others didn't know what happened, but he could see it clearly.

Four seconds later, three shells flew hundreds of meters away, crossed the entire ravine, and entered a near-vertical accelerated dive stage with a large inclination angle, and landed precisely on top of the firing Type [-] heavy machine gun below.

"Boom!" Just as Cangshan Yuanye was thinking about countermeasures, there was an extremely loud explosion sound from [-] meters away, which made his ears ring instantly, and he saw a flame wrapped in black smoke rising into the air, shaped like a mushroom. Generally, the high-energy shock wave spreads to the surrounding area, and thousands of high-brittle iron balls fly at an extremely fast speed, covering almost the entire space.

"Order the first and second squadrons to attack the high ground ahead with all their strength, the third and machine gun squadrons to cover with firepower, and the grenadier squad to project smoke grenades at the enemy's positions to obscure the view, abandon mine clearance and dig trenches!" Cangshan Yuanye gritted his teeth and ordered new order.

In just a moment, more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were digging trenches fell down like wheat, making extremely shrill screams. Their bodies were already covered with iron beads. More than [-], some people are unlucky, and the iron beads in the body may be as high as five or six hundred.

Break through.

Of course not!

Fortunately, relying on the road minefield, one's own side cannot organize an attack, nor can the opponent organize a charge, and the two sides are at a relatively safe distance.

As the middle section of the marching team, the third brigade not only had to face the enemy's infantry, but also had to bear the firepower from the enemy's artillery, which was completely unattainable.

The 686 regiment's style of play made the third brigade seem extremely uncomfortable. The reason is very simple. In the past, they only focused on attacking the light and heavy machine guns and mortars of the national army. I have never experienced this kind of feeling.

Cangshan Yuanye looked around, and soon, a small hill came into view two or three kilometers away. Compared with the road, the commanding height of this small hill is undoubtedly a better place.

In addition, the Chinese army on the opposite side has a strength of about 3000 people, and their weapons and equipment are quite sophisticated. It is useless to commit suicide if you want to organize an evacuation in front of such a powerful Chinese army.

Masaizumi Sakai did not die. On the contrary, when the first wave of mortar fire hit him, he jumped out of the car and took cover, using the terrain to accurately shoot at the Chinese soldiers in the opposite position. The field of view conditions are very poor, and there are not many shooting results, only three.

"Let go!" Li Rong gave the order without hesitation.

The minimum radio station is equipped at the wing level, and the brigade and below usually use field telephones for communication. However, how can he have time to lay out field telephones now?

It was a huge landmine, weighing at least five kilograms, with a charge of at least two kilograms. Usually such mines are used to counter chariots or tanks, but Cangshan Yuanye did not expect that the opponent's target was infantry.

"Report to the captain, and the first squadron to report that there are a large number of mines on both sides of the road, and the troops cannot form formation." The Japanese signal soldier crawled on the ground full of mud, crossed the blockade line of the fire network, and came to the side of the Cangshan field. Report the latest ascertained situation.

"The target Japanese sharpshooter is at a distance of 850 meters, moving to the left at 0.5 meters per second, and the coordinates are..." In the artillery position on the mountain edge, Li Rong, a company observer, holds the binoculars tightly with both hands, and a pair of eyes like eagle eyes has locked onto the grass on the edge of the road Masaizumi Sakai in the movie, constantly reporting target information.

"The tactical quality of this group of opponents is quite high, and I need to move my position." Masaizumi Sakai shook his head, suddenly feeling a little danger, and instead of continuing to shoot, he chose to close his gun and use the half-person-high grass to shift the shooting point.

As the casualties of various squadrons continue to increase, it is only a matter of time before the battle situation collapses.

The importance of the commanding heights is self-evident. Only by grabbing this commanding height at all costs can the third brigade have a chance.

Can you do it?

Quickly clearing the minefield with grenades and digging trenches with the help of cars, the two methods are not very effective, but at least they can reduce the casualties of the imperial warriors.

Must break through.

Cangshan Yuanye's eyelids twitched wildly, and a cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his back. He couldn't help but look back at the open space behind him. This newly discovered situation means that the third brigade can only stay in the open space until the mines are cleared. The highway area of ​​the bunker is passively attacked, and it is impossible to organize troops to attack the opponent's position, or to form a formation to build a defensive position.

"Report to the captain, the transportation team has encountered an armed attack by the enemy, with a strength of about 3000 people, and the way for our army to retreat to Lingqiu has been blocked."

"Hi!" The Japanese signal soldier left immediately, crawled in the mud, and crawled towards the No. [-] Squadron.

What makes the opponent taste the price of attacking the imperial army, what the glory of the Fifth Division has all disappeared, and now, Cangshan Yuanye only has one thought in his heart, to live.

"Boom!" Three shells hit the ground and exploded, together with an exceptionally loud and powerful roar. The terrifying power generated by the explosion instantly shredded the Japanese army's main and deputy machine gunners who were manipulating Type [-] heavy machine guns, and the metal prefabricated fragments flew to the surrounding space. Lasing, turning the five-meter radius into a death zone.

They just remembered that they threw a row of grenades in the same way as grenades, and then...something exploded.

The two signal soldiers reported the situation of their respective teams.

A relatively safe environment must be established before infantry artillery can be used.

At present, the battlefield situation of both sides is basically clear. The attackers have a total strength of about 1 people, occupying the favorable terrain and superiority of troops in the surrounding area. The own army has [-] troops. The main force is basically crowded in the road area and in a narrow valley. They can only be beaten unilaterally. and forces are at a disadvantage.

A smart top shooter never shoots three times at the same position, which is one of the reasons why he can win the No.1 top shooter competition.

Fall short.

Extreme pain in the true sense!

The leader of the heavy machine gun unit who was squatting beside and commanding, and the three ammunition soldiers who carried the bullets were all attacked by the metal debris group and died suddenly on the spot. The entire heavy machine gun unit
One set of fire, reimbursement of a heavy machine gun unit of the Japanese army, this is the intuitive manifestation of the effect of three-door six-zero forced fire.

Hearing that he had sent a report to the division for help, Cangshan Yuanye finally breathed a sigh of relief. The nearest reinforcements are located in Laiyuan and Hunyuan, especially Laiyuan County, where the No. 11 regiment of the headquarters is stationed.

From Laiyuan County to here, it can be reached in four hours by rapid march.

"Baga! The insidious and terrifying Chinese, ordered the first squadron to immediately use smoke bombs to cover the battlefield, dispatched engineers to quickly clear a deep space with grenades, and the infantry dug trenches and bunkers on the spot with the help of cars!" Cangshan Yuanye forced himself Keep calm, think about it, and give orders in an orderly manner.

The survival time of the heavy machine guns on the battlefield is only 3-5 minutes, while the light machine guns and grenade teams are even worse, usually only about 2 minutes. Facing the threat of concentrated mortar fire, they will also be attacked by light and heavy machine guns and sharpshooters on the high ground on the right side of the road.

The two [-]-type infantry guns are the only heavy firepower of the third brigade. Once lost, it means that the third brigade has no long-range firepower to counter the opponent.

Not long after the communicator left, two communicators from the vanguard and rear troops respectively brought the expected battlefield information from Cangshan Field.

In an instant, five engineers from the Japanese engineering unit at close range were killed on the spot. The rest of the engineers were safe and sound without being attacked by shock waves and high-brittle iron beads due to their long distance and crawling on the ground. However, all Japanese soldiers within a radius of 50 meters But a disaster happened. Hundreds of high-brittle iron beads easily penetrated through the barriers of clothes and skin and entered the body. Due to the high-brittleness of their own materials, some iron beads hit the bones and shattered into smaller parts, causing Irreversible and fatal trauma, so that the victim died in an extremely painful way.

The order was issued, and the units of the third brigade quickly implemented it. The troops of the two squadrons used cars as cover to move to the high ground ahead. The third squadron and the machine gun squadron opened fire with all their strength to cover the transfer of the main force.

An expected bad news, a timely good news.

As for the scene of the confrontation between the sharpshooters of the Japanese army and the sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army...

As for the retreat... If nothing else happens, both the front and back roads will be blocked.

In addition to the heavy machine gun unit, the Taisho 11-year light machine gun and grenadier team also suffered heavy losses.

Unbiased, direct hit.

"Reporting to the captain, the Kurokawa Brigade encountered another armed attack by the enemy, with a total strength of about 3000 troops. Unfortunately, Major Kurokawa Shijie stepped on a landmine and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The Kurokawa Brigade is now under the command of Hashimoto Junmasa, accompanying the communication team A report has been sent to the division for help."

"Baga! Stupid command! The enemy can observe the overall situation of the battlefield from a condescending position. If you deploy the Type [-] infantry artillery, you will be discovered immediately by the opponent!" Cangshan Yuanye, the captain, heard this suggestion, and immediately cursed: "Order the machine gun squadron to suspend the return fire, save Heavy machine guns, light machine guns and grenade grenades returned fire with the movement of the wreckage."

On the battlefield, after the divisional mortar battalion adopted free-fire tactics, the pressure on the infantry units of the Japanese army on the road decreased rapidly, but the pressure on various heavy firepower units and long-range firepower units suddenly increased, and the number of casualties increased by orders of magnitude. The machine gun squadron belonging to the third brigade alone lost four Type [-] heavy machine guns in just a quarter of an hour, and three heavy machine gun detachments were wiped out.

Still the same sentence, don't take the 75 as a gun. When mortars are used in clusters to conduct concentrated fire strikes, their battlefield strike effects and surface-kill benefits are no less than the current mainstream [-]mm artillery.

"Bang bang bang!" Accompanied by the roar of three 60mm mortars, the three shells flew out almost at the same time, cutting through the sky along the flight trajectory at different angles, rushing to a goal together like lovers, exuding a unique What a military romance.

In a bush on the edge of the road, the special shooter Masazumi Sakai was hiding here, holding a [-]-type rifle with a scope, locked on the Czech-style machine gunner more than [-] meters away, and was about to pull the trigger, but the other party suddenly Ceasefire transfer.

To treat Japanese sharpshooters, a round of mortar fire must be respected.

Sorry, there is no such scene on the real battlefield.

Duel?

Who is right with you.

When a suspected target is found, it immediately bombards it.
