Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 275
Wang Chengzhu glanced at Tian Shuisheng in front of him, and then at the soldiers of the Second Company around him, but he saw that their faces were full of frustration, they looked hopeless, and their morale was extremely low.

What is the most important thing in an army?

Weaponry is important, but the morale of soldiers is even more important.

If an army has no morale, it is doomed to fail.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to regain the lost morale of the Second Company soldiers.

As for the method, of course it is to kill the devil's tank.

Using Molotov cocktails is a good idea, but you have to get close first.Therefore, this method is also unworkable.

In the end, Wang Chengzhu set his sights on the artillery positions in the rear.

The most lethal artillery currently available in the Independent Battalion is the Type [-] infantry artillery, and the Type [-] infantry artillery can barely be used as a flat-fire artillery after lowering the elevation angle.

However, the Type [-] infantry gun is not a battle defense gun, and it is almost impossible for its shells to penetrate the frontal armor of the Devil tank.

But who said that the bombardment must be launched from the front?
Just adjust the shooting and let the shells fall on the turret of the Devil Tank from above. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it can also blow up the Devil's machine gun above, thus greatly reducing the threat of the Devil Tank to one's own side.

Others may not have the ability to manipulate the Type [-] infantry artillery and hit the moving devil tank, but Wang Chengzhu has perfect artillery skills, so there is still a good chance to do this.

"Second Company Commander, you continue to hold your ground, I will use artillery to blow up the devil's tank!"

After Wang Chengzhu finished speaking, he turned around and quickly ran towards the artillery position behind.

The Devil tanks need to cover the coordinated advance of the infantry, and the speed is not very fast. When Wang Chengzhu came to the artillery position, the Devil tank group was still 400 meters away from the front position of the second company.

"Old Liu, act as an observer for me and report the coordinate parameters of the devil tank!"

Hearing this, Liu Qiang was stunned: "Battle Commander, you want to use the Type [-] infantry artillery to hit the devil's tank? I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

While manipulating the Type [-] infantry gun to adjust the shooting angle, Wang Chengzhu said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense, report the parameters quickly, and the devil's tank will rush to the second company's position later!"

"Yes!"

Liu Qiang didn't dare to delay at all. At this time, he could only choose to trust Wang Chengzhu, and then ran towards the high point not far away with the artillery mirror.

Soon, Liu Qiang locked the coordinate parameters of the Devil Tank rushing in front of him through the artillery mirror, and immediately shouted: "Battle Commander, the Devil Tank is 966 meters away, with a speed of 10, and its orientation is north-northeast. Two scales, wind speed 8, wind direction north-northwest! Repeat, Devil Tank is 966 meters away, speed 10, azimuth north-northeast two scales, wind speed 8, wind direction north-northwest! A test shot!"

After reporting the parameters, Liu Qiang went to the back of the artillery mirror and re-observed.

After a few seconds, there was a light 'tom' sound from the artillery position not far from the side, followed by a long screaming sound whistling past the ears.

The next moment, a mass of scarlet flames suddenly bloomed in the field of vision of the artillery team's mirror.

It is a pity that Wang Chengzhu may have slightly miscalculated the forward speed of the Devil's tank. The shell landed 5 or 6 meters behind the tank. Although a large number of Devil's infantry were killed, it did not hit the tank. .

At this time, the devil tank was still pushing forward arrogantly.

Liu Qiang gritted his teeth in annoyance, and shouted loudly: "Battle Commander, increase the shooting angle by 0.1 scale!"

For curved guns, the higher the firing angle, the shorter the range.

A moment later, another scream passed through the air.

In the field of view of the artillery team's mirror, a red light suddenly appeared on the roof of the devil tank locked by Liu Qiang's eyes.

Through the vision of the artillery team mirror, Liu Qiang could clearly see that the second shell hit the roof of the tank precisely.

Not only did the top cover explode directly, but the raging shock wave generated by the explosion even sent the two machine gunners flying with their guns.

After the explosion, the Type 10 light tank continued to run forward for more than [-] meters due to inertia, and then broke down and stopped.

"Hit it!" Seeing this scene, Liu Qiang immediately shouted excitedly: "Battalion Commander, you hit it, you are really amazing!"

But a cold voice came from the artillery position: "Quickly measure the parameters of the next target!"

"Yes!"

If he could hit the first Devils tank, he would be able to hit the second Devils tank. Liu Qiang's confidence soared. He immediately suppressed the joy in his heart and quickly locked on the next Devils tank.

……

The forward position of the independent battalion.

The soldiers of the second company all saw the scene of the Devil's tank being blown up. Seeing that the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu really used artillery to destroy the Devil's tank, their morale immediately rose.

At the same time, the admiration for Wang Chengzhu has been raised to another level.

Revered as a god!

It seems that in the hands of their battalion commander Wang Chengzhu, there is nothing impossible.

Soon, the second and third Devil tanks were also destroyed by Wang Chengzhu.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the remaining two devil tanks immediately stopped advancing, turned around, and fled backwards in an 's' shape.

The devil infantry also discovered that the tanks that could have protected them had become the targets of the Eighth Route Army artillery.

In order not to be affected, the remaining devil infantry immediately dispersed, keeping a safe enough distance from the other two tanks...

The Japanese attack position.

Masao Nishiyama, head of the devil brigade, saw his tanks being destroyed one after another, his old face suddenly became gloomy and distorted to the extreme, as ugly as several dead parents.

Since Japan is a country with small resources, strategic resources such as steel, oil, and rubber are highly dependent on imports, and among them, the base camp pours most of its resources on the navy.

Therefore, the resources that the devil army can get are extremely limited, which has created the little devil's careful calculation, not only brainwashing the soldiers under him to advocate fighting bayonets, but even the caliber of the bullets has shrunk a lot compared to the bullets of other countries.

For example, the German Mauser 98k rifle is the same as the Chinese Hanyang-made and Zhongguan rifles, both of which have a caliber of 7.92mm, while the Soviet Mosin Nagant rifle bullets also have a caliber of 7.62mm.

However, the caliber of the devil's 6.5-type rifle bullets is only [-]mm. The smaller the caliber, the more raw materials are needed to manufacture the same number of bullets.

Not only the bullets, but the devil's tanks have also shrunk a lot compared to powerful countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union.

For example, the total combat weight of the Japanese Type 15 medium tank is only 34 tons, while the total combat weight of the Soviet T32 medium tank is a full [-] tons.

The gap between the two is self-evident.

In front of T34, the Devil's Type [-] tank is said to be a medium tank, but it is actually no different from a light tank.

You don't even need to fire, just hitting it directly is enough to crush it.

However, in the eyes of powerful countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany, the Japanese-style thin-skinned tanks that look like garbage are unrivaled in Asia with backward industries.

Even if it is a Type [-] light tank, the Chinese army does not have a good way to deal with it.

Therefore, the Type [-] light tank is also a strategic weapon of the Devil Army.

Three vehicles were damaged in a small battle, which was definitely a very large and unacceptable loss for the Japanese army.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Masao Nishiyama has an ugly expression.

As for the remaining two tanks fleeing without a fight, he didn't show any punishment, because these things are treasures...
