Chapter 40: Killing Moritake Tanabe (new book, please watch)
Seeing Li Guoyao¡¯s first hit, the soldiers around him gave out loud cheers!
But Li Guoyao shouted loudly: "What a fool, why don't I set up the grenade and fire like this!"
Hearing Li Guoyao's order, more than a dozen soldiers quickly knelt on the ground, each with an identical grenade in front of them.
These grenades were all brought out by Li Guoyao from the arsenal of the Japs. Don¡¯t look at the arsenal of the Japs. There are a lot of weapons and equipment, including machine guns, rifles, and even 75mm caliber mountain artillery and field artillery. But the real There were only two weapons that caught Li Guoyao's eyes. One was the little devil's Type 92 infantry cannon, and the other was this small grenade in front of him.
The grenade is a light mortar. Although this thing is light and looks harmless to humans and animals, it is actually quite ferocious in combat effectiveness.
This individual weapon is light in weight, easy to carry, and can provide timely fire support.
You must know that mortars of the same caliber in this era generally weigh at least 6 kilograms, while the Japanese Type 89 grenade weighs less than 3 kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of a rifle and is very suitable for individual soldiers to carry.
The grenade can not only launch special grenades, but also produce hand grenades, such as Japanese-made melon grenades. Usually, the weight of such a grenade is only 0.45 kilograms, and an ammunition bag with eight rounds is only 3.6 kilograms. Including the grenade, the entire combat system totals less than 7 kilograms, which is lighter than a Czech light machine gun. many.
Due to its light weight, the grenade team will not be like a mortar team or a heavy machine gun team due to its heavy load, which makes it unable to fight with the front-line infantry in time. In actual combat, the grenade team can even charge with the infantry.
Secondly, the lethality of this weapon is no worse than that of ordinary mortars, or even worse. This thing has a large shooting angle, a curved trajectory, and a short range. It has a good killing effect on enemies hiding behind fortifications and shelters.
Generally speaking, the killing radius of a grenade is about 5 to 8 meters. If a grenade falls in a crowd, it can kill dozens of people. This power is not bad for a 50 mm caliber.
What¡¯s more important is that the cost of grenade launchers is low, so they are widely equipped by the Japanese army in active troops. Not only did the Japanese equip themselves, but during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese army also imitated a large number of such grenade launchers. The Nationalist Government alone produced more than 40,000 grenades and equipped them in large numbers for the national army.
Precisely because he knew that this thing had amazing combat power and was also very suitable for targeting fixed firepower points in street fighting, Li Guoyao took out more than a dozen of them from the Japs' arsenal.
And this kind of weapon is very convenient to operate. It only requires two people to operate it. When firing, the shooter first pulls the firing rod, and then the ammunition hand loads the ammunition from the barrel mouth to complete the installation of the ammunition. Hold the launch tube with your left hand and rotate the handle according to the target distance until the adjustment rod reaches the corresponding length. After roughly aiming through the aiming line, the shooter pulls the belt on the firing machine to fire the explosive at the bottom to eject the grenade.
After the soldiers fiddled with the grenades, Li Guoyao said to several Japanese machine gun fire points not far away: "Just follow what I just controlled and knock out all the stupid machine gun positions for me!"
Under Li Guoyao¡¯s order, more than a dozen grenade groups opened fire one after another!
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
After more than a dozen crisp sounds, the projectile flew towards the little devil's position and exploded quickly!
However, what left Li Guoyao speechless was that only one of the more than ten grenades hit the target, and all the others deviated from the target.
Li Guoyao was not angry either. He knew that this was inevitable because the propellant at the bottom of the grenade tube had not changed. The angle of the grenade tube was adjusted to determine the launch distance and aim at the target. Therefore, only experienced grenadiers could Hit the target accurately. The best that a novice can do is to ensure that the ammunition is fired, but only the most accurate person can know where to hit it.
???????????????????????????????????????? But once again, twice will be familiar, the Japanese-made melon grenade is not an expensive thing anyway, the little devil has many in his arsenal, in a word - it is very powerful!
"Come again!" Li Guoyao said loudly!
The soldiers were not polite, quickly adjusted the angle, and then continued to launch!
This time it was better, ten rounds of grenades killed two light machine guns, and one round fell into the infantry pile, blowing up two people!
"Come again!"
Li Guoyao believes that firing a cannon is like driving a car for a female driver. Once it is familiar, it will become familiar again. Novices will inevitably encounter bumps and bumps on the road, but after a long timeYou can always figure out the pattern.
Sure enough, if each person fires ten grenades, the accuracy is slightly guaranteed. At the worst, it will not deviate from the intended target by a few hundred meters!
Under Li Guoyao's bombardment regardless of cost, more than a dozen machine gun positions outside the Little Japs headquarters were quickly destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye. When only two or three were left, Xu Hu gave the order to charge!
By the way, in the headquarters of the Japs in Jiaxing City, five or six Japanese commanders looked at an officer who was nearly fifty years old with pale faces. In addition to being scared, these Japs officers were more incredulous.
At this time, a captain rushed in hurriedly and said: "Report, the person who supported/launched a desperate charge. Almost all our firepower points were destroyed. General, please evacuate here immediately!"
Major General Tanabe Moritake said coldly: "Withdraw? It's too late. The troops have already reached here, which means there are their troops outside the city. We have lost the last chance to escape!"
As soon as the words changed, Tanabe Moritake said again: "Besides, how can the warriors of the Japanese Empire have the idea of ????escape? Even if they die, they must face the enemy directly and die vigorously. Only in this way can they be worthy of the cultivation of the empire and worthy of His Majesty the Emperor. !¡±
"Hai!" a group of Japanese military officers shouted!
As soon as they finished speaking, these Japanese officers heard fierce firefights coming from the direction of the east gate, and their hearts suddenly sank, knowing that the Chief of Staff's judgment was correct!
Tanabe Moritake didn't even look at the officers. Instead, he strode up to the operators. He first took out his pistol and shot three of the four operators to death.
Then he said to the remaining telegraph operator who was obviously stunned: "When you were receiving telegraph training, you should know that once the war reaches a crisis, you who hold the Imperial Army's passwords and other secrets should and must protect the Empire's confidentiality. Dedicate yourself!¡±
Hearing Tanabe Moritake's words, the trembling soldier suddenly calmed down and said loudly: "Hai! It is a humble honor to devote one's life to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Tanabe Moritake nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a report to Commander Yanagawa at the Legion Headquarters, saying that Jiaxing City was counterattacked by a division-level combat unit of the army, and the imperial army stayed behind. The troops are collectively shattered, and I, Tianbian Shengwu, have decided to live or die with Jiaxing City. In addition, all the dozens of tons of ammunition stored in Jiaxing City have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the frontline troops will face a shortage of ammunition"
Before Tanabe Moritake could finish speaking, a grenade suddenly hit the roof and landed directly inside the headquarters!
"Boom"
After a violent explosion, five or six people, including Tanabe Moritake and the operator, were killed and injured. The entire command headquarters was in a mess!
Less than two minutes after the explosion, a tall figure rushed directly into the headquarters. When he saw two Japanese officers on the ground who were struggling to stand up, he fired two shots, and the world was completely calm!
After killing the two Japs officers, Li Guoyao took a closer look and found no other living Japs. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then took stock of this place!
From the layout point of view, this is definitely the combat headquarters of the little devils, and it is also a relatively high-level headquarters, which even has a simulated sand table.
Suddenly, Li Guoyao's eyes were attracted by a corpse lying on the ground not far away. He was wearing a woolen coat and a gold star. This damn boy turned out to be a Japanese major general!
While Li Guoyao was astonished, Bai Qi's familiar voice suddenly came to his mind: "Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission - killing the Japanese Major General Tanabe Moritake. The reward points are 1,000 points and a lottery chance!"
