Beiyang 1917

() Of course, the speed of the entire attacking formation is not fast. On the one hand, it is to take care of the speed of the Japanese infantry accompanying the attack. On the other hand, it is impossible to increase the speed of wheeled vehicles on the grass in the hilly area to a very high speed. Well... More importantly, the German army's long-range artillery and even machine gun mortars have not counterattacked or intercepted so far, which makes the attackers move more cautiously...

On the coalition artillery position behind a forest five kilometers to the east, only 105 of the 4mm howitzers that are still firing at the moment are still roaring, but the artillery fire roared over the heads of the attacking troops and exploded on the German bridgehead position one after another. It's still very popular... Many Japanese infantrymen walked behind the Chinese armored vehicles with their 8 rifles on their waists, muttering to themselves: Could it be that the German armored train that beat up the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment has already left Hal Cove?In other words, the Germans guarding the bridgehead were all killed by the shelling of eight 105mm captured howitzers before and after the 20-minute shelling? ..

Of course, it is a bit too much to describe the attacking coalition forces with trepidation, but it can be described as the 3rd Chinese Armored Company and the 23th Infantry Brigade of the 55rd Brigade of the Japanese Infantry, which are attacking at this moment. The 217 Infantry Squadron is not too much... On the battlefield, apart from the sound of coalition artillery and the occasional long and short bursts of armored vehicle m2 heavy machine guns, there is no trace of German counterattack and interception firepower. On the position of the terrorist troops, after a few rounds of m81 mortar shells, the Ukrainian machine gunners also stopped at this moment...

The atmosphere on the battlefield is quite weird...

"Pass my order, the 4th Armored Company is advancing along the river bank while releasing smoke. Now the southeast wind is blowing, and the wind direction is strong against us!" Li Shang gave another order in a deep voice. &renade) is theoretically a grenade carried by a metal can, used as a ground-to-ground signal, and can also be used as a signal for airborne areas or attack targets.In addition, smoke bombs are also used for cover, to distract the enemy's attention, and to send signals.Smoke grenades are not a deadly weapon unless used incorrectly to cause damage.The inside of the smoke bomb contains a steel container, and several holes specially made for releasing she gas (located at the head and tail ends of the smoke bomb).

The way to make the temporary smoke bomb: heat 60g potassium (potassium nitrate) and 40g sugar slowly over low heat, stir until the sugar dissolves and the potassium blends together like peanut butter, remember to keep the fire low because the sugar is easy to burn, then add a spoon of baking soda (sodium).Be careful, there could be a fire here.Stir well and add 3 tablespoons of dye powder (organic dye) orange or blue for better effect!

Then continue to stir, be sure to stir evenly ~ make a small tube with cardboard, pour the evenly mixed materials into the small paper tube, then insert a thick pen into the middle, and let it stand for 1 hour. Let it dry ~ pull out the pen again, then prepare a fuse, fix the fuse with a small piece of cotton, and finally glue the whole thing up with adhesive tape, remember!A small hole should be left on the top (where the fuse is), this is the simple method of making smoke bombs~

Another type of smoke bomb is more explosive, and its internal composition is mainly white phosphorus.Once this kind of smoke bomb comes into contact with the air, it will detonate immediately, and it will also emit a conspicuous yellow spark, and it is accompanied by an excessive amount of white gas (white phosphorus). Bombs (incendiary bombs are used to deal with enemy armed vehicles and are fired from portable grenade launchers).At the same time, the user must also pay attention to the wind direction at that time to facilitate hitting the target.

However, Li Shang now ordered the 3th Company, which was attacking 300 meters behind the 4rd Armored Company, to release smoke, but it was not a smoke bomb, but a special shooting position on the hot armored vehicle hood to heat kerosene and diesel. , gasoline mixture releases smoke...

The Chinese fd17ii wheeled armored vehicles of the allied forces are still using Ford 4-cylinder in-line gasoline engines at this time, and they also burn gasoline. The mixed oil in the barrel, this diesel light petroleum product, is a mixture of complex hydrocarbons (about 10-22 carbon atoms), generally diesel fuel.It is mainly prepared from diesel fractions produced by crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, petroleum coking and other processes; it can also be produced from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction.

However, compared with gasoline, diesel oil contains more impurities, and it is more likely to produce smoke and dust when it is burned, causing air pollution.But diesel does not produce toxic gas like gasoline, so it is more environmentally friendly and healthier than gasoline.In order to reduce the pollution caused by smoke and dust, in recent years, diesel-burning machines including automobiles in Western European countries must be equipped with dust filters before use, and the pollution of sulfur oxides (sox) is also a problem.Therefore, all automobile companies are developing technologies to reduce pollution: in order to reduce pollution, the sulfur content of diesel is also the focus of attention. For example, Taiwan has diesel with a sulfur content of less than 50ppm for selection

Li Shang ordered the 4th armored company to release smoke to block the observation line of sight of the German armored train artillery who did not know that they were lurking there on the south bank of the Uda River. Basic skills, as long as the German army has measured the coordinates and position of the battlefield before and bombarded with fire coverage, the smoke released by itself will not play a big role, at most it will affect the opponent's observation of the bombardment effect.

Shortly after Li Shang ordered the 4th Armored Company to release smoke, the 3rd Armored Company was already close to the second anti-tank trench and barbed wire fence 500 meters ahead of the opponent's bridgehead position. The sides gather together to gradually form a bell mouth, and the distance between the two rivers has gradually narrowed from the previous width of nearly 1 kilometer to about 800 meters. At this time, the width of the Kharkov River on the right wing is more than 300 meters. The width of the Uda River on the left is as high as 600 meters...

指挥装甲第3营3连打头阵的是保定第五期的董英斌上尉……在距离对方阵地1000米外，他的装甲连车载步兵中的m60迫击炮手已经全部下车开始构筑阵地，ri军的那个步兵第217中队的m60迫击炮组也同样停在了1000米外的那道反坦克壕沟附近抢筑临时迫击炮阵地。
