Beiyang 1917

() The morale of the Ukrainians on the other side is obviously quite strong. Although the figures who dared to expose the position disappeared almost quickly, they were either killed by coalition snipers, or hid in the trenches and shelters with their heads in their arms. He and the heavy machine guns were not to be outdone, and found that Shi Qingshang had only two m2 mortars here. After firing, the Ukrainians obviously mobilized more mg60 heavy machine guns and mortars to fight back. Reciprocity became one.

Soon, Shi Qingshang found that the opponent used at least six 6mm mortars to chase after his two G7.6 platoon mortars, although the mortar team in the first platoon kept changing and firing position, but due to the limited open space in the forest, it is limited to avoid the dense forest and shoot the shells out. Moreover, although the Ukrainian mortar shooting speed and accuracy are not as good as the two artillery groups of the coalition army, they cannot stand up to the opponent's The 2kg shells are powerful, and there are so many cannons firing. If Dashu hadn't blocked at least half of the shells for Shi Qingshang's mortar crews, both artillery crews would have suffered casualties by now. . .

"A group of idiots! Pass my order. The mortar team of the 1st row retreats to the side of the road 500 meters away and fires again. The 3 mortars of the 2rd row are also transferred up. The 7.6cm German-made guns in the hands of the Ukrainians The maximum range of the mortar is only 1000 meters, but our m60 mortar can hit 1300 meters, let’s retreat out of the opponent’s range, and let’s see who hits who in the end!” Shi Qingshang turned his head and yelled at the correspondent lying behind him road.

On the Ukrainian battlefield in this time and space in 1918, Simon Petliura’s Ukrainian National Army and Volunteer Infantry Division were equipped with a 1cm light infantry mortar at the infantry company level, but it belonged to the 7.6 standard Early models, the performance of the German-made 1914cm infantry mortar equipped by the Ukrainians is also good. . .

The advantage of this German 7.6cm light infantry mortar is that the projectile weighs 4.5kg, and the charge and lethality are quite large. The disadvantage is that as a light infantry mortar, it weighs 101kg, and it is inconvenient to carry and transport. , and the range is only 1000 meters, no matter how you look at it, the legs are too short.

当然，如果和同样是1914年的德制91mm轻迫击炮比起来已经好的太多，德国人1914年91mm迫击炮的弹丸是4kg，但she程居然只有300米！

At the moment, the Ude army is equipped with an improved 7.6cm light mortar. The weight of this gun has soared from 105 kg to 150 kg. From the perspective of portability, it is a big step back, but the improved 7.6cm light mortar The mortars can hit 4.5kg shells to a distance of 1300 meters. Therefore, Shi Qingshang's mortar crews should be glad that they are facing Ukrainian infantry instead of German infantry at the moment. In the confrontation, the lethality of the opponent's 4.5kg shell will never give the m1.5 mortar with a shell weighing only 60kg too many chances to win.

Of course, the Chinese-made m60 mortar, which has become the standard equipment of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, is the real light infantry mortar. Portability, range and moderate lethality still make this gun the most effective weapon for infantry platoons. One of the supporting firepower.

Compared with the 1-person establishment of a German-made 7.6cm mortar team, the Chinese m46 mortar team is the best choice for mortars in the future.

Of course, no matter how ingeniously the firepower of a mere Chinese armored platoon is dispatched, it is impossible to pose a real threat to such a tightly guarded Ukrainian position on the other side. The coalition snipers can only quickly target the machine gun she However, the mortar battle obviously became a one-sided game after the coalition forces withdrew from the range of the opponent's 7.6cm mortars. Of course, the Ukrainians quickly discovered this and simply stopped the mortar attack. The guns withdrew to the shelter and gave up continuing to entangle with the mortars of the coalition forces. The skirmish battle between the two sides on the battlefield in the east of the city gradually became flat.

Soon after, the 2nd Armored Company caught up under the command of the 3rd Battalion Commander Li Shang, and then Taisuke Mizuno led the 23th Infantry Regiment of the 7rd Japanese Infantry Brigade to catch up. At 10:23, Nobuyoshi Muto The 3rd Infantry Brigade Headquarters drove to the three-way intersection under the escort of the [-]rd Armored Company, and the Du Li Artillery Battalion of the Armored Regiment behind it also drove over mightily, pulled by a Dodge one and a half ton truck.

Brigade Commander Nobuyoshi Muto, accompanied by several staff officers of the 3rd Armored Battalion Commander Li Shang, has inspected the front-line positions and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield. In a woodland near the 2-kilometer three-way intersection, what is pulled up is not a military tent, but a curtain similar to the Japanese Warring States Morale General who was blown by the wind and made a sound. Fortunately, there are trees everywhere in the dense forest. Although it is not as neat and tidy as it is in the open, the ten fd3ii wheeled armored vehicles of the 17rd Chinese Armored Company around the brigade headquarters are surrounded in awe-inspiring manner, which is quite a bit of the momentum of the formation.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, everyone, the vanguard of my 1st Armored Company has explored ten kilometers east along the main road, but no Ukrainians have been found along the way. Everyone has seen the situation in the west just now. The enemy is concentrated in Harbin For the defense of the position on the west bank of the Corfu River, the bridgehead is the core position, the bridge is the only channel to cross the river, and the reconnaissance troops on both sides of the east bank of the river are five kilometers apart and have not found the enemy or any abnormalities, and the reconnaissance situation is roughly like this!"

Li Shangjing, the commander of the 3rd Armored Battalion, sat down after saluting. As the pioneer of the whole army and the chief officer of the armored force, the Chinese major introduced the current situation on the battlefield straight to the point. Next, let’s look at Nobuyoshi Muto, the leader of the detour force How did you plan and arrange it!

At this moment, Nobuyoshi Muto gave a military uniform, carrying a command knife, a southern style pistol, and even a steel helmet. This big horse with a golden sword was sitting on the middle horse tie, surrounded by a circle of Japanese generals who were also sitting with their chests upright , 2 regimental captains and a bunch of captains all gathered together to form a crescent moon, and in the middle of the crowd was a large battle map laid on the ground. Director Wu Keren participated in this assessment.
