Chapter 1059 Complete victory (13)

The reason why Zhao Ergou did not shell out the Black Hawk Army artillery positions calculated by the front artillery observers through ballistics, directions and time analysis is very simple.

Time difference.

It was calculated by the artillery observer to report to him that the mountain cannons here had to land and prepare for the landing. The time difference of one and a half minutes was enough to make the mountain cannons of the Black Hawks slip away again.

Although the 20th Division was not a mechanized corps, their mechanization was far beyond that of the Kingdom Army. The special forces in the front had informed the rear that the Black Hawk Artillery Regiment, which transported ammunition and 105 howitzers, were all driven by trucks, mountain cannons and field cannons, mostly by horses.

As for this mountain cannon position that moved the position very quickly, Zhao Ergou had reason to believe that they used a truck. It was a flat valley thousands of meters ahead of Beizhao Pass. The truck was dragging more than 500 kilograms of Type 4 cannons to run. In 2 minutes, it was enough to run hundreds of meters.

Therefore, Zhao Ergou asked the two cannons to report to the artillery observers to the left and right sides of Ningshou County to conduct 10 rapid fires in nearly 500 meters. If the hit is a lucky hit, it would be the best. Even if it is not hit, it would be scared to death. He did not dare to drop the cannon at will, and it would also relieve the pressure on the Beizhaoguan position.

As for why he only had 10 quick shots, because Zhao Ergou had to run away! He was sure that the reason why the Black Hawk Empire knew that there were mountain cannons on the Independence Group and dared to cover the fire for such a long time was also the meaning of using bait to lure prey out of the hole.

12 105 howitzers were eyeing his mountain cannon company, waiting for his revenge on artillery bombardment, and then destroyed the artillery of the independent regiment with firepower.

From the Black Hawk artillery observer reporting to the Black Hawk howitzer group started to fire, he was left with only five minutes at most.

The reason why the Black Hawk Army responds faster is that their 105 howitzer has a large killing area. The killing radius of 18 kilograms is 22 meters. The 12 guns can cover an area of ​​nearly 15,000 square meters with one volley. He only needs to obtain an approximate position and extend the shelling.

Sure enough, after firing ten shells, two Sanjuans pulled two cannons, and three Sanjuans pulled an artillery platoon and ran along the valley. In five minutes, they ran out a thousand meters. The howitzer shells of the Black Hawk Army hit.

The bombardment lasted for five or six minutes, and at least 100 high-explosive bombs would be 600 meters wide and 800 meters long, and the hillsides and valleys that were 800 meters long turned into a sea of ​​fire.

They have always been extremely economical. Even the Black Hawk Army artillery counted the number of artillery fired hundreds of grenades in one breath, which shows that they were afraid of the Independent Regiment, which was hidden tightly.

The 105 Howitzer Group was originally the most powerful weapon of the two armies in the entire Guyongfeng front line. Originally, Zhang Dongqun, the 39th Brigade of the Black Hawk Army, had already won this battle, it was only depends on how he wanted to fight and what price he was willing to accept to win Guyongfeng.

These 12 105 howitzers are his greatest confidence. No matter how hard or dangerous the fortifications, they all turned into powder when the 18 kilograms of the 105 howitzer was hit by the 18 kilogram projectiles.

But he didn't expect that the 105 howitzer showed its muscles to the Independent Regiment stationed in Beizhaoguan, and the mountain cannon shells of the Independent Regiment flew over. The 105 howitzer's range was as high as 10,000 meters, and the distance from the Beizhaoguan position was as high as 6,500 meters, which was almost the limit range of the mountain cannon.

However, it was the Black Hawk Army's Type 41 mountain cannon, and the range of the Bofos mountain cannon equipped by the Independent Regiment can also be as high as 9,000 meters.

This scared Xiqiu Central Bird of Tongzhou, the commander of the 26th Black Hawk Artillery Regiment, and quickly gave up the selected artillery position and retreated more than a thousand meters. This was a relief. Although the 105 howitzer is very powerful, if it is shot by a mountain cannon, the consequences are actually the same as being attacked by a howitzer of the same power. As long as one howitzer shell explodes on the position, it can send the entire artillery squad to heaven. Even if the distance between each of their cannons is 10 meters further away from the safe distance in textbooks.

The Independent Regiment actually has artillery of such a range. Didn’t Zhang Dongqun and Xiqiu Tongzhou, Kang, the artillery battalion, which was clearly written in the information, regard Zhao Ergou’s artillery battalion as a confidant?

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei used the mountain cannons from the artillery squadron directly under the wing to cover the infantry charge at an extremely dangerous distance. Rather than saying that his troops were on the verge of danger, it would be better to say that Zhang Dongqun's instructions were also instructed. When necessary, he used infantry and these mountain cannons as bait to lure out the artillery of the independent regiment and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

They even calculated that if the mountain cannons continued to cover the infantry's attack position, the mountain cannons of the Independent Regiment would not be able to withstand the shelling revenge. Because their mountain cannons had a longer range than the 41 style mountain cannons, and they would definitely have the ability to retaliate against shelling.

It has to be said that the commanders of the Black Hawk Army are all scheming and calculating people. From infantry attacks to artillery battles between the two sides, they are all calculated one by one, including all.

As for the infantry and those mountain cannons on the position, they are naturally just small soldiers on the board. Even if it is eaten by people, as long as you eat the cannons of the independent regiment, you can make the 105 howitzer be ignored. In Zhang Dongqun's opinion, it is worth it.

The words "Charity does not control the army" and "one general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven" are not only applicable to the kingdom, but also to the Black Hawk Empire.

Small people are just numbers in the eyes of big people.

It can be said that in this not particularly large-scale offensive and defensive battle, both the enemy and us played their cards, trying to see the opponent's trump card clearly and then eliminate it.

The Black Hawks' trump card has been played, and their goal has been achieved. They waited until the artillery of the Independent Regiment opened fire and also found the artillery position.

They just didn't expect that the artillery of the Independent Regiment had been semi-mechanized. Although there were no trucks, there were three jumpers, and the Bofos mountain cannon with two wheels could maneuver on the mountain at a speed of nearly 15 yards per hour.

Looking at the artillery fire less than 300 meters away, even Zhao Ergou couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat. Fortunately, he only ordered 10 rapid fires. If he was a little greedy and ordered 20 rounds of each cannon, then this time, he and the third platoon of the artillery company, brother No. 30, and two Bofos mountain cannons worth tens of thousands of silver coins, would be blown into the sky by the Blackhawk Empire's howitzers.

Although it looks very far from three hundred meters, for a 105 howitzer that can be shot in a radius of 1,000 meters is just a matter of firing a few more shells.

Before he could celebrate his wisdom, Zhao Ergou continued to run away with the artillery platoon. What if the Black Hawk Army artillery gun was a little crooked?

The Black Hawk Army Artillery Corps was actually trying their luck. They fired hundreds of shells in one go and were waiting for the report ahead. Seeing whether the kingdoms' mountain cannons were still bombarded. As long as they did not bombard them, they were not sure that they had killed them, but at least they were driven away.

The artillery of the Independent Regiment was running away without shelling. However, the shelling density of the Black Hawk Army also decreased a lot.

Zhao Ergou's two cannons and ten rapid-fires were not useless. Or to be more precise, he was lucky.

The Black Hawk Army Mountain Cannon he imagined was very likely to be towed by a truck, so he was so mobility. In fact, he was really thinking too much.

Although both the Artillery Regiment and the Infantry Regiment are under the command of the 20th Division, they are actually two types of troops. Not to mention that Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei is respectful to the captain of the Artillery Regiment, even Colonel Luo Min should be polite to others. Without the Artillery Regiment, your Infantry Regiment wants to attack the city and capture the village, so let's die more!

Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei could not imagine the trucks that were only given to the artillery corps. The mountain cannons he commanded were still transported by pack horse camels or towed. However, the four-type mountain cannons were lighter, and the terrain was relatively flat, so they slipped faster.

But Zhao Ergou was right, the Black Hawk Army artillery was indeed moving towards the left wing among the two wings. However, their speed was not that fast. When Zhao Ergou hit the 10 rapid-fire shooting at that position, the Black Hawk Army artillery squad was driving the horse and pushing the cannon, and it was only 200 meters away from the nearest position where the shell exploded.

The artillery battalion is all veterans who have dozens of live-fire shooting experience every year, and the cannons are extremely accurate. All 10 shells land accurately in the target area.

At this time, if the beating is accurate, it is a mistake. If the beating is wrong, it may be even more threatening.

Anyway, looking at the explosions that kept exploding 200 meters away, it was no threat to the Black Hawk Army artillery.

If a small stone hadn't run 200 meters in the air and hit the ball of a strong pack horse that was dragging the cannon.

Most people who play football have the experience of being kicked by football. Think about it, if you have such a big ball and hit the vital position, your face will be so pale. What if it is replaced by a small stone? Even if the small stone has already run 200 meters in the air, its kinetic energy has decayed.

So, the strong stallion suddenly felt castrated and went crazy. He roared and drove another horse to run wildly, dragging the 500-kilogram mountain cannon behind him, and knocked away several Black Hawk artillery soldiers who were caught off guard.

When the Black Hawk Army artillery that had reacted, the already crazy horse had hundreds of kilograms of brute force, and that was the one whose little arms and legs could hold back? The helpless artillery squad leader had to order the pack horse that was attacked by Dandan but had a rapid spike. The southern small pistol he wore was naturally the only choice. The pistol that was prone to get stuck was not stuck at this moment, but its power was too small. He was shot twice in a row but did not kill the horse, which made the severe pain of the horse even more panicked. After running 150 meters, he plunged into the ravine in the desperate eyes of the Black Hawk Army artillery, and along with the mountain cannons.

Looking at the mountain cannons lying in a mountain valley more than ten meters deep, except for the gun barrels that were almost broken, the rest were almost broken, and the Black Hawk Army artillery squadron leader was crying.

Bastard, this is also unlucky...

The mountain cannon was killed by Zhao Ergou, and he also killed two pack horses and injured three Black Hawks.

It can only be said that in addition to strength, war also depends on part of luck.
