Chapter 37: It's Really Not An Ordinary Chinese Army
Heavy mortars refer to large mortars with a caliber of more than 100 mm, a total weight of more than 94 kilograms, and a maximum range of about 8 kilometers.
Mortars have become the basic equipment of infantry during World War II. Light mortars can be used as platoon-company firepower, while heavy mortars can be used as battalion firepower.
Although Liu Feiyang temporarily formed the artillery team with the Northeast Army artillery as the main force, it did not use the mo-120-rt-61 heavy mortar to shoot.
It is not a Type 63 107mm light-tug rocket launcher that can be fired with just one dry battery.
However, Liu Feiyang's mortar in the second round of counterattack was the m1938 120mm heavy mortar.
Although the weight of the m1938 120mm heavy mortar is only one tenth of the howitzer of the same caliber, or even one twenty.
But it can shoot at high speed and bombard the target behind the bunker.
However, Liu Feiyang only installed five doors for this heavy mortar.
And the base of shells is not very large.
So it's just a short-term fierce fire support.
Once the shells are exhausted,
Liu Feiyang's artillery team,
Only the remaining m-2 60mm mortars, as well as gr.w.34 type 80mm mortars can be used.
As for the 82mm pm-41 mortar and 107mm pm-38 mortar, the m-43 type 160mm heavy mortar, and the m-160 type 160mm mortar, these equipment did not explode.
As for the 240mm mortar, 280mm mortar, 600mm Carl cannon, and 914mm large and small guard mortar, they were even more unloaded.
There is also a 120mm PM-38 mortar that can only be owned by the Soviet regiment level, and there is no stock.
Because Liu Feiyang has used all 17 such heavy mortars.
The ammunition of the 20mm mortar is mainly of The type of 843 anti-destruction blasting grenade. The total bullet weighs about 17 kilograms and is charged with 1.4 kilograms. The killing radius is very large, reaching more than 30 meters.
But it is also because it is too heavy,
Therefore, the 12 120mm pm-38 mortars in the early stage could not be transferred quickly when bombarding the Japanese troops that tested firepower.
So when Liu Feiyang asked the artillery squad leader's Jinbao to bombard him,
Just blow up the cannon immediately,
Lightly transfer artillery personnel.
So now there are only 5 120mm PM-38 mortars left, which can be used.
And it was also because the heavy mortars were too heavy at this moment, and Liu Feiyang did not have the carriage troops to pull these heavy mortars for transfer.
So the result is the same,
That is, after all the types of 843 anti-destruction and blasting grenades were shot, all personnel on the artillery position should be transferred immediately to take over the other artillery position, and prepared to counterattack the Japanese troops with retaliatory shelling.
“…”
"Baga!"
"Can the Chinese army actually own heavy mortars?"
"And it's a mortar with such a fierce lethality?"
“Where did they get the supply from?”
"These heavy mortars don't look like German weapons and equipment!"
Compared with the shocking and exclaiming reaction of the captain Masao Kosaka and the shocking and exclaiming reaction of the artillery squadron leader Kaguya Tsuruta, the young staff member Takeno Uchi Fuman was the first to react from the same shocked expression, and cursed in confusion.
"Let our artillery team launch a fire counterattack now!"
"Also let our heavy mortar team prepare for a counterattack immediately!"
"Let these hateful Chinese troops also see the strength of our Type 96 mortar with a caliber of 150mm and the fierce artillery fire of our Type 2 120mm heavy mortar!"
At the same time, the young staff member Takeno Uchi Fuman immediately issued a combat order to the messenger Ito Ichio not far away.
"Hayi!"
"I'll do it right now!"
Ito's squad leader Junji Ito's younger brother Ito Ichio immediately nodded and replied.
Then he immediately sent the order to launch a shelling counterattack.
"These Chinese army are really not ordinary Chinese army!"
"Who is the new company commander Liu Feiyang?"
"Are he and the troops he led one of the mysterious ace troops hidden by the Chinese military government?"
Looking at the figure of Ito Kazuo hurried away, the young staff member Takeno Fengman narrowed his eyes, and even more suspected that Liu Feiyang's troops were not ordinary national troops, muttering to himself.
The Type 96 mortar weighs more than 700 kilograms, and the Type 2 120mm heavy mortar also weighs 260 kilograms.
Therefore, the Japanese army also needed transportation tools to transport these heavy and heavy mortars.
Therefore, an infantry corps of the Japanese army was equipped with 4 to 6 doors.
Therefore, these heavy Japanese mortars are mainly equipped for direct artillery gangs at the division level and are one of the trump card weapons and equipment used to provide firepower support during division level combat.
During World War II, Soviet troops could form a mortar company as long as they had 6 to 9 artillery pieces.
So after Liu Feiyang experienced the first round of counterattack,
The configuration of all his next artillery positions is to be deployed according to the number of this artillery.
Because there are restrictions on the number of artillery and the artillery personnel.
This one can be seen from the first round of 12 120mm pm-38 mortars, which are engaged in the battle to attack Japanese artillery positions.
The artillery troops are not in enough personnel, so the counterattack time spent and the time spent on artillery attacks,
They are all relatively long.
If it weren't for being caught off guard by the fierce artillery fire of his own group of artillery groups,
I'm afraid that the temporary artillery team formed by Liu Feiyang was counterattacked by the opponent's artillery group before they had finished combed the opponent.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
"Come out of all these shells for me and prepare to transfer the position again!"
"The Japanese artillery team is about to fight back!"
When the Japanese artillery team was about to receive the order to counterattack,
Jin Bao was also shouting loudly on the artillery position.
And around him was the sound of bombardment.
The ears were deafening.
With Jinbao's strong urging, there were only 5 120mm PM-38 mortars in total, and the shelling became even more rapid.
And at this moment, Liu Feiyang,
He also had already led other troops out of the cat ear pierced.
"Ergou, Rongfu, you will immediately take your respective sniper rifle troops and light and heavy machine gun troops to prepare for war to prevent the Japanese Bu Tan from attacking!"
"But it must be outside the coverage of the Japanese artillery fire!"
"Or else we would be killed and injured by the Japanese artillery!"
"As for me, I still need to prepare for air defense, and personally assist the artillery team in the third round of counterattacks to the Japanese's new artillery position!"
As soon as the cat's ear hole was drilled out, Liu Feiyang directly pointed at Li Ergou and issued an order with Jin Rongfu.
"Yes! Company Commander!"
Li Ergou and Jin Rongfu immediately nodded and agreed.
Then they took the sniper rifle team under their command and the light and heavy machine gun troops without any nonsense, quickly reaching the defense line that had been deployed early in the morning, waiting for the Japanese Butan to attack.
Liu Feiyang, along with a small team of artillery personnel from the Northeast Army, immediately entered the first artillery position.
Waiting for the artillery fire counterattack in the latest artillery position of the Japanese,
Then, after the observer on his side observed the position of the Japanese's latest artillery position, he could immediately launch a retaliatory artillery counterattack.
This time the counterattack target,
Liu Feiyang and Jinbao had an agreement in their hearts, and they must try to kill as many Japanese artillery squadrons, or directly shelled the Japanese field artillery corps.
When Liu Feiyang entered the third reserve artillery position,
He also used his deputy, Cai Guomin, a soldier of the Northeast Army, to control the PP93 60mm long-range mortar, while waiting for the completion of Jinbao's artillery team's artillery team.
And the latest attack from the Japanese artillery team.
Chapter completed!
