"Captain, the firepower lit at 2 o'clock is too strong, and the brothers below can't rush up. What should you do?"

In the command of the 10th Regiment of Beachtou, the chief of staff of the 10th Regiment said anxiously to Xu Hu.

At 2 o'clock in the direction of the Beiyang position, Maxim was constantly spitting out his tongue of flames. Under his power, a battalion of Guoshe Army could only lie on the sand a few hundred meters away, and could not even move a single step.

"What should I do..." Xu Hu turned around twice. "Can the 37th infantry cannon knock off that firepower point?"

Although the 60 mortar is very powerful and can also carry out vertical strikes, it is definitely the natural enemy of the infantry in the fortifications, but the range of shè is too close, only about 1 kilometer, while Maxim's ruler shè is 2,200 meters (of course, the standard shè range is still 1,000 meters. After all, no matter how far it is, it is a problem whether it can hit it...). So now the 60 umbrella can only shrink behind the obstacle for limited support.

Although the 60 mortar also knocked off some fire points in this case, not every fire point happened to be within the 60 sprint and egrave range. Some fire points were also in the inside line of the Beiyang Army position, which could suppress the Kuomintang-She Army troops on the beach at a high altitude...

That's why Xu Hu asked the 37th infantry cannon. Although the infantry cannon is very powerful due to caliber issues, it has reached at least 3 kilometers in the shè range. This distance can completely strike the fire point outside the shè range of Maxim. Then, just like Yu Gang and others just now, Maxim in the fire point will be silenced with one shot...

but…

"No." Hearing Xu Hu's question, the Chief of Staff shook his head and said. "I have tried it many times, but the layout of that firepower point is very tricky. Even if the 37th cannon hits directly, it cannot be completely destroyed."

This is the troublesome thing about the 37th infantry cannon. One is that its power is too small, and the other is that its trajectory is straight. If it is just an ordinary fortification or firepower point, of course there is nothing, but if it is an overly strong target, the 37th cannon will not play that great role. After all, in order to ensure lightness, the caliber of the infantry cannon is only 37 mm.

"Is it not possible to have a 37 gun..."

When Xu Hu heard the Chief of Staff say this, he felt a little angry.

Just as Xu Hu and the Chief of Staff were thinking about solutions in the command center, the suppressed infantry battalion commander seemed to feel very angry, so he rushed with a platoon of troops. However, the infantry platoon had just rushed for a few dozen meters away and was half swept down by the heavy machine gun in the fire point, and the battalion commander who led the team to charge was the first to be blasted...

"Hún egg, too impulsive, can't we wait until we figure out a way to talk about it?"

Seeing that a platoon of his subordinates was swept down halfway, Xu Hu kicked the sandbag in the command center with his feet.^^ Network ^^ Free

But seeing Xu Hu like this, the chief of staff next to him smiled bitterly in his heart.

"The people below will look like this. Isn't it the leader you, the leader?"

But the most important thing at the moment is to knock off this fire point, so after throwing all these thoughts out of mind, the Chief of Staff began to think about what to do in the command center.

Like what Xu Hu encountered, the other four regiments also encountered some troubles to a greater or lesser extent, and most of these troubles were brought about by Maxim machine guns.

Although there were only less than 200 heavy machine guns left on the Beiyang Army positions after being baptized by artillery fire, and these Maxis were still "named" by 37 infantry artillery, after all, not every firepower point is so fragile. There are also many firepower points not only very tricky, but also very strong. Just like the battalion under Xu Hu encountered, even if it was hit by several mén37 infantry artillery at the same time, it could still spit out a fire snake and suppress the infantry of a battalion firmly on the beach...

Just when Xu Hu and the Chief of Staff were both anxious, a young officer in his 20s suddenly stood up and said.

"Captain, if it really doesn't work, let me take someone up and try..."

"You?" Xu Hu frowned after looking at the young officer. "Aren't you even equipped with 60 mortars? If the shè process is not enough..."

"Shè process is not enough, you can stick it on it," the young officer said loudly. "Captain, if you stay like this, you don't know how many brothers will die under the machine gun. Let's try it out in a row."

The young officer is the direct mortar company commander of the Xu Hu regiment, equipped with 6m & eacuten 60 caliber mortars.

Looking at the impulsive young officer, Xu Hu naturally felt that this guy was very compatible with him, but at this time Xu Hu still looked at the chief of staff beside him.

"Let him go?"

After all, life is at stake, and Xu Hu still hopes to seek the Chief of Staff’s opinion.

After hesitating for a while, the Chief of Staff nodded.

"There is no other way now, let him try..."

“Okay…”

After obtaining the agreement, the young officer immediately ran out of the command center and gathered his subordinates.

However, looking at the busy back of the young officer, Xu Hu sighed.

"If I had known this would have happened, I would have brought a few mén80 and 120 caliber mortars..."

Although the 60 mortar has a shè range of 1 km, the 120 mortar with a shè range of 2 km is definitely enough. If we can nè several m&ecuten120 mortars, Xu Hu and the others can knock out the Beiyang Army's firepower points outside the effective shè range.

But I regret it. In this situation, Xu Hu and the others could not let the rear ship 120 mortars come over, so they could only look at the mortar company commander...

After gathering his subordinates, the young officer named Lin Fang led his subordinates to carry the 60 mortar and ran quickly forward. He waited until he entered the effective shè process of the 60 mortar.

"Company Commander, is it a bit dangerous for us to do this?"

After lying on the ground and looking at the dust rising beside him, the deputy company commander smiled bitterly at Lin Fang.

However, after hearing the deputy company commander's words, Lin Fang shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan..."

It is certainly not possible to directly attack Maxim's firepower. You should know that although the jing accuracy of the mortar is not bad, it is definitely not high. At the extreme shè range of 1 kilometer, it is absolutely impossible to strike targets 1 kilometer away without doing a few more times to try shè, but how many times to try shè???

Don't forget Maxim's extreme shè speed. If they did this, they might have been swept to the ground by Maxim before a few shè shots, so...

"Go and say to the gunners and let them carry the infantry cannons."

"gunner?"

Hearing Lin Fang's order, the deputy company commander was obviously a little confused.

But even so, the deputy company commander still ran to the infantry gunner who obeyed the order.

Although Lin Fang commanded mortars and those gunners used infantry guns, Lin Fang was the captain and company commander of the mortar company after all, and these mortar gunners were just ordinary gunners in each attack squad. Even if the rank was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, they were only at the level of the regular soldiers (the rank of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty was composed of second-class private, first-class private, regular soldiers, corporals, sergeants, and sergeants). So after hearing the call of the captain's company commander, although it was a little strange, these gunners still climbed over at the fastest speed.

Among them, Yu Gang, who just knocked out an external fire point.

"Company Commander Lin, what's wrong with asking us to come?"

It took a few minutes to climb over with the infantry cannons, and Yu Gang and several other gunners asked strangely.

"Nothing." Yu Gang shook his head, "I just wanted to borrow your infantry cannons."

As he said that, Yu Gang expressed his thoughts.

It turned out that when he took the initiative to ask for battle, Lin Fang had already set his mind on Yu Gang and his infantry cannons.

You should know that the total weight of the 37 infantry cannon is 80 attacks, including 40 kilograms contributed by the cannon body, 30 kilograms contributed by the cannon stand, and of course 10 kilograms contributed by the cannon shield. Lin Fang looked at the 10 kilograms of the infantry cannon shield.

Although the weight of the 10 kilogram gun shield is not very heavy seriously, the thickness it brings is enough to withstand the power of the 11.43 mm caliber bullet of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

Of course, the area of ​​the 10 kilogram heavy artillery shield is definitely not very large. At least it is absolutely impossible to completely protect the mortar and the gunner, but as long as it can protect some, it is enough. After all, war is a very risky thing. Since Lin Fang wants to win, he must take risks...

"So, I hope you can lend me the cannon shield."

After listening to Lin Fang's words, Yu Gang and the others looked at each other. Although they were still a little confused, they agreed to lend the cannon shield to Lin Fang.

But while borrowing, Yu Gang and the others also cursed in their hearts.

"You hún egg, if you want to borrow a cannon shield, just say you cannon shield. Why do we bring the entire cannon here? That is an 80 kilogram infantry cannon, and it is under the nose of the Maxim machine gun. We crawled forward and also had to carry an 80 kilogram infantry cannon with us. Do you know how uncomfortable we are?"

Although he was cursing so secretly in his heart, Yu Gang and they still used the fastest speed to remove the artillery shield on the infantry cannon.

After all, they are also very clear about the current situation. Now, one battalion of brothers in their regiment alone is suppressed by the firepower point in the inside line, and four regiments in the entire army are now attacking the positions of the Beiyang Army. If you don’t knock out these firepower points quickly, even if it is delayed by one second, it may cause considerable casualties.

In fact, on the way they crawled over with infantry cannons, two people were already swept by Maxim machine guns, and one of them fell down directly... Although 1,000 meters is an effective shè range, 2,200 meters is also a ruler shè range. Although the accuracy after 1,000 meters is not very exciting, this does not mean that Maxim does not have lethality at a distance of 2,000 meters...

After the cannon shield was removed and the 60 mortars were blocked on the way, Yu Gang and others looked at Lin Fang in a complicated manner.

"Now, we can only look at Company Commander Lin and the others..."
