The two groups of artillery distanced themselves.
The entire hillside was actually very familiar. Jin Laiwang and the others quickly found a reverse slope on the hillside and set up the mortar so that the little devils could not directly observe the position of their mortar.
At least you can protect yourself from exposing yourself in advance.
"Lao Xu, Lao Cai, I will be the bait this time while you fish." Jin Laiwang said to Xu Jiaming and Cai Tongqing, "Let's separate into a Z-shaped shape and keep a distance of 50 meters from each other. I will fire the gun to correct the position parameters. Finally, you can directly aim at the target according to my data, so that even if I am exposed, the loss will not be too great."
Theoretically, Jin Laiwang's method is quite effective. He can command three mortars with his own data without any problem.
The only problem is that the exploration group will bear the greatest risk of being counterattacked by the little devils. But in this situation, no one can care anymore.
Xu Jiaming and Cai Tongqing didn't say much, nodded, took out two 50cm long wooden sticks and began to measure and confirm the distance.
Now every point needs to be determined accurately to reduce the error on your side as much as possible.
In this way, when Jin Laiwang obtained the distance parameters observed through test firing, they could quickly calculate the various parameters of the artillery target.
Jin Laiwang also took out two 50-centimeter wooden sticks, lay down on the highest part of the reverse slope, and carefully measured the position of the Little Japanese 92 Infantry Cannon with his thumb to confirm the distance.
Jin Laiwang inserted the wooden sticks back and forth into the ground, and carefully adjusted the two wooden sticks to the target with the naked eye. After he confirmed it, the mortar gunner behind him reset the scope to zero, and then adjusted the mortar so that the scope Aim at the stick far ahead, then, keeping the mortar still, start adjusting the sight reticle to the stick closer.
Finally, aim at the wooden stick in the distance, and move the gun with the scope until it is aimed at the wooden stick in front. This is the long-established anti-target indirect sighting method. It was still taught until the era of Gao Jianwu, but most of them were more accurate. The aiming tool has been replaced.
However, this native method is still effective and is simply the best choice for this era, so Gao Jianwu also brought this method over and taught it to the artillery.
In this way, at least the mortar's firing direction is quite accurate. After aiming and confirming that there is no problem with the shooting direction, you only need to adjust the angle to adjust the impact point of the cannon and continue to approach the target.
"530 meters, No. 1 charge, fire!" Jin Laiwang confirmed the distance and loudly issued instructions to the gunner behind him. The gunner quickly adjusted the angle, and the ammunition hand took out the shell and put it into the muzzle without hesitation.
"Peng"'s mortar shell screamed at a speed of nearly 90 meters/second and flew towards the 92 infantry gun on the little devil's side.
A few seconds later, as expected, the first mortar fired more than 30 meters, and the little devil's 92 infantry gun was undamaged and hit a lonely target.
This is normal. The average observer can control the error at a distance of 500 meters. If the error is controlled to 50 meters, it is considered qualified. Only extremely talented elite observers can control the error to within 10 meters.
This requires very precise knowledge of key data such as the length of one's arms and the distance between eyebrows. All the guerrilla artillery observers in Dagushan have been measured. Relatively speaking, the basic conditions for improving accuracy are met. However, this manual aiming method, Depends on a variety of terrain and various factors, and even closely related to personal vision.
Jin Laiwang was not discouraged. His sighting accuracy was not outstanding among many gunners, so it was normal for the first shot to miss a little.
"500 meters, No. 1 charge, fire!" After Jin Laiwang reported the second distance revision parameter, the gunner continued to lower the angle, and then fired the second shot.
This time, the mortar landed next to the Little Devil's 92 Infantry Cannon, and Jin Laiwang saw that the distance was already within 10 meters.
However, because the firing speed of the mortar is too slow, it takes almost 6 seconds to fly from the air to the Little Devil 92 Infantry Artillery position. Before the shells hit, the Little Devil had already heard the sound, so the operator of the 92 Infantry Artillery These little devils still had time to scatter and escape, one by one, 20 to 30 meters away.
Therefore, although the second mortar shell approached the target infinitely, the result was still zero.
"493 meters, Lao Xu, Lao Cai, No. 1 charge, prepare to fire!" Jin Laiwang confirmed the distance and said loudly to the two surrounding mortar teams of Xu Jiaming and Cai Tongqing.
Using Jin Laiwang as the base point, Xu Jiaming and Cai Tongqing quickly calculated their distance to the target and adjusted the angle of the mortars that had already been confirmed. As Jin Laiwang said "Fire!" the three mortars fired. Roar at the same time!
...
While Jin Laiwang was attacking the 92 Infantry Cannon, Wang Xilai and the others were not idle either. Wang Xilai saw that the Jaap's mortar was relatively slippery, so he changed the target and fired.
This time they targeted the Japs' headquarters.
Wang Xilai directed a mortar to target the Japs headquarters with one shot.
Although the first shot missed the target by almost 20 meters, this mortar shell still scared the little Japanese commander Jiro Harada into a cold sweat.
After the mortar bomb exploded, Jiro Harada immediately evacuated from the temporary headquarters in a mess!
"Baga! You losers of the artillery team, they haven't dealt with the artillerymen on Tubal Road yet." Jiro Harada couldn't see the people from the artillery team standing in front of him, otherwise his big ears would have been scratched.
For the little devil who has a tradition of slapping, it seems that if he doesn't slap his ears, he will feel uncomfortable.
"Command the artillery team, don't worry about other things, aim at the top of the mountain over there and eliminate the mortars on Tubal Road!" Harada Jiro frowned and turned to look at the hillside where the long-range mortars attacked. Due to the thick bushes, it was difficult to see I don't know if anyone is there.
But they must be there. Judging from the incoming shells, they are 60mm mortars, with a range of about 1,000 meters at most. There is only one hilltop in that direction that meets this range.
Just when Jiro Harada gave the order, he saw another mortar coming out of the hilltop over there, making a sharp roar and flying towards the 92nd Infantry Artillery Position.
"Baga, Baga, Tubal Road is so arrogant, the artillery team must be ordered to destroy it, otherwise military law will be enforced!"
Harada Jiro is going crazy.
Although the mortar shell from the Eighth Route Army was a lonely one, facing the current situation of being passively beaten, Harada Jiro really couldn't bear it!
The little devil's artillery team was ordered by the commander one after another, so naturally they all cheered up and concentrated on observing Wang Xilai's artillery attack.
Soon, the little Japanese noticed the regularity of Wang Xilai and Jin Laiwang's shelling. Wang Xilai's side was still maneuvering erratically and could not lock the position at all.
However, after Jin Laiwang fixed the gun position, three consecutive mortar rounds were fired, allowing the little Japanese mortar observer to nervously calculate the approximate location.
When Jin Laiwang and the others fired a volley, the little Japanese also fired a wave of covering volleys!
