Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 36 Mission Release
"Ding! The task of defending Luochang County has been released.

Task time limit: Unknown.

Task reward: 1000 points, other rewards depend on the degree of task completion. "

It was just dawn, and the sun hadn't come out yet.

Zhang Wei has already woken up.

It can be said that he didn't sleep much last night.

After confirming that the battle arrangement was correct several times, he checked the phone line again.

You know, calling for fire support depends on this thing.

The mortar position was set about 300 meters behind Zhang Wei.

Two 75MM mountain artillery were deployed in the city, and the soldiers lacked experience in operating artillery.

All artillerymen know that artillery training is divided into five major tactical skills, that is, shooting (firing command), surveying (geometry), observation (observation), communication (communication), and artillery (cannon operation or artillery operation).

Similarly, if you want to practice artillery, you must naturally develop these five skills.

In fact, before German consultants came to China in China, these things did not become systematic knowledge until the Central Military Academy pioneered direct teaching by German consultants.

"Communication" means communication, which is a basic technology. There must be a comprehensive communication network between the artillery and the frontier observation post to have combat effectiveness.

However, Zhang Wei and the others could only lay a few more telephone lines due to practical conditions, and hoped that when the main force of the Japanese army arrived and counterattacked, they could survive.

In many cases, Chinese artillery still has the artillery decisive battle thinking of World War I. Fortunately, those who are still playing like this at this stage are already dead. In addition, mortars are curved guns, so naturally there is no need for cerebral palsy to go to Kamikochi.

The artillery platoon of the independent regiment is actually relatively large, with a telephone squad, two guard squads, and three artillery squads, and there are nearly 100 people in it.

However, the independent regiment lacked talents who could measure the earth.

For example, in the tragic Battle of the Somme, the French army frequently deployed thousands of artillery pieces, consumed millions of shells, and carried out a week-long fierce shelling, with very limited results.

Of course, there are reasons for the tunnel fortifications at that time, and more because the French artillery is not good at simple design, and they don't know how to use the steering wheel.

Therefore, although France quickly launched a series of long-range cannons and howitzers with excellent performance, the French artillery can only fight with the map.

So the Somme River became a slaughterhouse, and the 60 casualties made the French army realize it. They dropped the superstitious concept of direct shooting and formulated the most detailed shooting tables for various artillery.

To rely on maps to fight wars, it is necessary to make the most accurate maps.

And this was Zhang Wei's busy work before, after all, he had won a map near Luochang County before.

But because of the scale, Zhang Wei spent half a day on the spot. Although Zhang Wei didn't understand the height angle, contour line formula, and shooting at messy things, there were still two or three in the independent group. Understandable artillery.

It has also become the baby bump of Zhang Wei and Li Yunlong.

Although Wang Chengzhu is the current artillery king of the independent regiment, he is limited to mortars.

Instead of a 75MM mountain cannon.

As for observation, this thing is too difficult. The reason why mortars were used in yesterday's ejection was not to waste ammunition. Twenty-two artillery platoons performed temporary exercises, and how to carry out firepower strikes based on coordinates.

But the observation can only be handed over to Zhang Wei alone, and Shi Dafan can also do it, but Shi Dafan also takes care of the task of first aid on the battlefield.

PS: In fact, the wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, temperature, and even the magnetic needle deviation of the battlefield should also be considered.

The problem is that we are not writing about artillery battles. There is no need to talk so much. If you want me to say, it is the romance of a man to just pull up and shoot directly.

And I would like to mention that even though the overall performance of the Japanese Type [-] Mountain Cannon used by the protagonist is not outstanding, it is indeed the most suitable weapon for the Chinese battlefield.

The whole cannon is only 536 kilograms, the lightest among all the countries in the world, and it can be pulled by one horse, and can be moved by six horses after disassembly.None of the pieces weighed more than 100kg.

China's local mules and horses can barely move.

"Report to the chief of staff. The first battalion commander sent me over to report the situation. The devil has already had three detachments from the team and started to scout on both sides of the valley."

"According to plan B, order a battalion commander to wipe out the small army of devils, and then lure the large Japanese army into the ambush circle."

"Yes!"

Ambush warfare is not successful every time, especially in this case, the devils are not foolish, they have already focused on attacking Luochang County, and the terrain on both sides is very suitable for ambushes, it would be strange if the devils were not careful up.

So Zhang Wei changed his method to lure an ambush.

Zhang Wei did prepare a lot for this battle.

First, the devil's commander might be an idiot who marched straight to a place suitable for an ambush, and then was caught off guard by Zhang Wei and the others. This is called Wunao Shuangwen.

Second, the Japanese army sent small teams to occupy the highlands on both sides for reconnaissance. If there were casualties, they immediately retreated and then called for artillery support. This is normal logic.

Third, annihilating the devil squad and luring the devil into the ambush circle is also a normal phenomenon, and it is very common on the battlefield, but the probability of success is not high.

So Zhang Wei prepared Plan C in the branch of Plan B.

That is to constantly harass the large army of devils and force them to carry out strong attacks and quick decisions.

Inside the binoculars, Zhang Dabiao received an order, and as soon as he dropped his hat, the light machine guns on the mountain immediately exploded and knocked down the two devils, and then led a company of soldiers to blow them away.

A burst of gunfire rang out, and Zhang Dabiao quickly began to evacuate towards the county seat.

The reconnaissance troops were attacked, and the devil's large troops reacted quickly. They immediately dispatched a squadron to pursue quickly, while the other troops stood still and dispatched two reconnaissance detachments to scout the terrain along the route.

Zhang Wei shook his head: "This little devil is so cautious, it's a bit difficult to handle."

"Sign out the semaphore and order the third company to fire and destroy this group of devils."

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei's command style is completely opposite to Li Yunlong's. Zhang Wei values ​​the lives of soldiers more.

He doesn't care about ammunition, because he has a system, and with the help of the system, he can capture enough harvest at any time.

Although the firepower of the third company is stronger than that of the devils, it is very difficult to kill a squadron of the devils in one go. After a long time, the devils' artillery support will come.

"Sign a semaphore and order the third company to withdraw from the ambush position. Retreat to the second line of defense and stand by."

"Company commander, the chief of staff ordered us to withdraw from the position."

"Did you fucking see clearly? You can't make a mistake!"

"I'm sure, Captain, the semaphore was played three times."

Meng Qinan confirmed the semaphore: "Comrades, prepare the grenade, delay for two seconds, throw it! Follow me!"

"boom!"

Dozens of grenades were dropped at once, and the attacking devil team killed more than a dozen people on the spot.

More than a dozen people were wounded by grenades and temporarily hors de combat.

Less than 3 minutes after the third company withdrew from the position, the devil's fire support came very quickly.
"Chirp!"

Mortar screeches, BOOM
Then came the devil's mountain cannon.

The artillery fire lasted for nearly five or six minutes.

If Sanlian withdraws one step later, he will have to pay a lot of casualties.
