Chapter 264
46 Before the war
morning.

Eleven o'clock.

Behind South Town.

"gather."

On the ground of the 1000th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, with the roar of the battalion commander, 5 soldiers lined up in just [-] minutes.

"We have a combat mission tonight, we are on level one alert now, rest."

"Yes."

Sun Cang was shocked.

Although they are the No.17 Battalion,
later in the number,

But now the entire battalion has been mechanized.

The whole battalion has 1000 people and is equipped with 120 three-ton trucks. Every soldier can take three-ton military trucks to the battlefield. Therefore, the weapons and equipment they carry have also been greatly enhanced.

There are six 120 mortars directly under the battalion, three 80 mortars under the company, and two 60 mortars under the platoon. The battalion has a total of thirty mortars of various calibers.

There are also two 105 camel howitzers.

Each cannon is equipped with shells with a minimum of three base numbers, that is, no artillery can have a minimum of 240 shells.

Of the 1000 people in the battalion, 350 belonged to the artillery, and the artillery ratio reached 30.00%.

Such combat power is enough to beat the devils and an infantry regiment with bloody heads.

Let them dispatch an elite battalion urgently,
Even implement level one alert.

In other words, from now on, the entire battalion is prohibited from communicating with the outside world until the end of the battle.

Definitely a big task.

"Is this the tow box?"

Just when Sun Cang was guessing what an important combat mission was, a big jeep pulled a four-wheeled cargo box to the camp.

Sun Cang knew this kind of warehouse.

The three-ton truck is full of power.

The [-]th Battalion is equipped with new models.

The horsepower of the engine has increased, with a full 280 horsepower. Not to mention devils, it is more than double the horsepower of the American ten-wheeled big trucks of the same level. Let alone three tons of load, even a load of six or seven tons is easy.

Even on the earthy and potholed road in Jindi, the speed is fast.

In the 40s when there were no emission restrictions, large displacement, and little attention to fuel consumption, the torque of gasoline engines was much greater than that of later generations, and they naturally carried more cargo.

But the warehouse is easy to be limited,
Both shells and bullets are packaged, otherwise they cannot be transported. Most of these packages are made of corrugated paper or wooden boxes.
In fact, a three-ton truck can only hold less than four tons of 120 mortar shells even if there are no people in the warehouse. Counting the packaging weight, it is about 160 rounds.

That is to say, how many times more than the two bases.

Somewhat wasting the 250 hp engine and all wheel drive on the new three ton military vehicles.

So, the transportation logistics department came up with this trailer.

It can transport three tons more supplies.

Sun Cang took a look and found that there were almost 70 tractor trailers.

"What is the mission this time?"

Sun Cang's heart was burning.

To increase the amount of ammunition carried, that is, the cargo, this mission must be a big one, bigger than he imagined.

···
more rear.

The armored company of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

Mechanics are busy overhauling tanks, testing night vision equipment, and more.

Logistics is replenishing oil and fuel, shells, bullets,
The 25 crew members are holding a pre-war meeting under the leadership of Company Commander Sun Desheng who has completed training from the system master.

"Break through the devil's position from the front? Then block the exit for eighteen hours?"

"This mission is exciting!"

Hearing the task assigned by Sun Desheng, everyone was eager to try.

After a period of actual combat, all the crew members deeply realized the terrifying combat effectiveness of the No. 72 tank they drove.

Just [-] devils,

To them, it's exactly the same as tofu.

···
Near dusk.

"You gentlemen."

"The key to the victory of this battle lies in whether you can find the artillery position."

In front of Nanzhen, on the devil's camp, more than 100 devils with huge radios on their backs and guns facing the mirror lined up neatly. In front of them, a devil commander was lecturing:
"please!"

"This battle is of great significance to the Locust Army and the Heavenly Locust."

Rarely, this devil commander didn't order directly in a high-spirited tone, but bowed sincerely.

no way,
In tonight's battle, the enemy has an overall advantage.

Especially artillery,
Even at night, the mortar shells that rain down densely are still a desperate nightmare for the attacking troops.

They must suppress the enemy's artillery,
Otherwise, even with the cover of night, even if the mountainous terrain is complicated, the flare effect is very poor, and even if the largest skirmish line is set up, it will be difficult for a large group of infantry to approach the enemy's position.

Or close, it is difficult to launch a large-scale attack.

But at night, it is not only the enemy's artillery that is restricted, but also its own.

To discover and hit enemy artillery positions, artillery observation posts are required to discover enemy artillery positions and guide the rear artillery to calibrate.

And the problem is,

The locust army is attacking, and the surrounding commanding heights and positions suitable for artillery forward observation are all in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

If you want to win these commanding heights, you must first suppress the enemy's artillery, and if you want to suppress the enemy's artillery, you must have forward artillery observation posts to provide observation and guidance.

It means that these artillery observation teams must infiltrate into the enemy's positions, get close to the enemy's artillery positions, and implement artillery guidance.

Most likely, no one will come back.

"Hi."

Although these more than a hundred devils are artillery observation posts, technical arms, and artillery, their military ranks are generally not high. If you dare to fight back, you even have to stick your face on it.

Now, a chief actually bowed to them, spoke to them in a requesting tone, and assigned tasks.

Where has experienced this battle, everyone shouted excitedly.

"I will definitely find out the enemy's artillery position later."

"Please, gentlemen!"

The Devil Chief bowed again.

"Hi!"

After cheering again, more than a hundred devil artillery observers carried a huge radio station that required the joint efforts of two people, and the artillery team mirror, which was as tall as one person and needed to be carried by two people, was more than one meter long and nearly ten kilograms. From the altimeter, take advantage of the night and drive to Nanzhen in the distance.

···
And at the same time.

The observation platoon belonging to the Second Battalion of the Independent Long-range Artillery Regiment is also mobilizing before the battle.

"Our task is to eliminate the devil's independent heavy artillery brigade."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of observation guides all cheered up, and many soldiers couldn't help but gear up.

Devil's independent heavy artillery brigade!
The observation platoon with the most scientific and technological equipment can become an independent long-range heavy artillery regiment. They are soldiers who have been in the army for at least two years, have undergone long-term cultural knowledge training, and have firm beliefs.

They know very well,
The Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade is the strongest force in the Japanese Army.
none of them,

It is the devil's so-called decisive weapon,
All of them are equipped with large-caliber artillery, the lowest is 105 caliber, and the largest even has 240 caliber heavy artillery, and the number is as many as [-].

Even if this heavy artillery brigade has never dispatched the whole army, at most one regiment, or half of the regiment, it still laid down positions in cities.

He is the so-called hero who the devils occupied and plundered the country.

now,

Their task is to kill the devil's strongest army force, the decisive weapon,

How can you not be excited?
"Find them, find them, and kill them!"

The platoon leader didn't talk nonsense. While saying three sentences, he slammed his fist on the table fiercely.

"Yes."

The soldiers roared in unison:

"Find them, find them, and kill them."

"Set off."

Following the order of the platoon leader, the soldiers of the observation platoon of the Second Battalion of the Independent Long-Range Heavy Artillery Regiment carried the second-generation single-soldier backpack radio, the high-magnification night-vision artillery observation mirror, and the laser rangefinder on their backs. , to the predetermined observation point.

With the arrival of the air gunboat, the communication equipment given by the master of the system has also been greatly improved.

At this time, the radio station equipped by the observation platoon was the 213 short-wave voice radio station commonly used by Uncle Sam during the Gulf War after the emergence of large-scale integrated circuits.

The data in the instruction manual is that the weight of the battery is only 6.5 kg, the talking distance reaches 24 kilometers, and the cruising time is [-] hours.

You know, it's the 40s,

During this period, there was no complicated radio environment, and there was very little interference between short waves.
Therefore, in fact, the communication distance of this radio station can reach about [-] kilometers even in complex mountainous terrain, and the channel is stable and the call quality is clear.

Also resistant to falling!
With a single soldier on his back, a 400-meter trench leap will have no effect.

As for the high-power low-light night vision artillery observation mirror and laser rangefinder, the night vision standard in the United States was prepared in the 90s, which is equivalent to when it was just invented in the 60s and 70s. It is small in size and high in reliability, so there is no need to repeat it.
