Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Soon, the Japanese moved out two mortars.

This group has eight 8mm mortars.

The Japanese captain believes that using two doors is enough.

The model is the Type 81 [-]mm direct-fire infantry gun, which is a light infantry support artillery.

Equipped with the Japanese infantry brigade to deal with machine gun positions, mortar positions and trenches.

This type of direct-firing infantry gun is actually a mortar, but the Japanese classify mortars with a caliber below 90mm as direct-firing infantry artillery, which is an infantry weapon;

Only those with a diameter of 90mm or above are called mortars and are artillery weapons.

Its parameters are:

Caliber: 81.4mm

Barrel length: 1269 mm

Gun weight: 22.4 kg

Attached ammunition types: grenades, arson bombs, smoke bombs, illumination bombs

Gun elevation: +45° to +85°

Projectile weight: 3.33 kg

Projectile muzzle velocity: 196 m/s

Maximum range: 2850 m

The Japanese confidently positioned their mortars, took out two boxes of shells, and were about to start aiming and firing.

The first two times our army killed puppet troops, they were both between [-] and [-] meters away from the position.

This makes the Japanese believe that the effective range of our rifles will not be too far, at most the level of Type [-].

The Type 460 has an average effective range of 600 meters. There are good ones and bad ones, good ones can reach 800 meters; very few can reach more than 1000 meters. The vast majority of effective ranges do not reach [-] meters.

Only a very few excellent shooters can effectively hit a target at a distance of 1000 meters using the highly accurate [-]-style.

The Japanese did not believe that our army had such excellent shooters and such excellent Type [-] rifles.

Therefore, although the captain and the commander of the puppet army were still hiding, they did not dare to show up. The Japanese soldiers didn't care.

At this time, there were two "bang, bang" sounds, and big holes exploded in the chests of the Japanese gunners on both ends.

The front and rear are transparent, ventilated and well lit.

Then there were two more "bang, bang" sounds, and two more Japs who didn't react quickly followed in the footsteps of the two Japs in front.

The remaining Japanese artillerymen were like mice being chased by a cat, quickly getting behind walls or slopes.

It's obvious that the opponent has a sniper!

And this gunshot has never been heard before, it must be a new weapon supported by Omanrik.

If that group of navy red deer had already crippled the Omanric navy, wouldn't it have caused so much trouble?

The navy is so incompetent, why not allocate military funds to the army!

Then there were two more "bang bangs", and the barrels of the two mortars were deformed and scrapped instantly.

Some people may ask: Why not shoot the enemy's artillery shells? Wouldn't it cause more damage if the ammunition exploded?

This is a bit idealistic, because most of the Japanese mortar shells will not explode if hit with a gun.

Even if it is a sniper rifle bullet with a caliber of 8.6 mm, it will not explode; even if it is replaced with a 12.7 mm or 14.5 mm caliber anti-materiel rifle, it will not explode!

Unless you are lucky enough to penetrate the shell and hit the detonator.

The Japanese captain has been stretching out his periscope to observe our army's position.

The six shots also revealed the shooter's location.

Therefore, after these six shots, the two excellent shooters changed positions.

These two people are still not snipers, they just have better shooting skills and equipment bonuses.

A sniper's marksmanship must be good, but good marksmanship may not necessarily make him a sniper.

"Use Type [-] infantry artillery to cover these two places!" The Japanese captain described the original positions of the two excellent shooters.

"Roms!"

What do snipers fear most?

It's not the opponent's sniper, but the artillery fire coverage.

Flesh and blood cannot withstand explosives after all!

Soon, the Japanese installed four Type 4 infantry guns.

Originally, the Japanese infantry brigade did not have so many infantry artillery, and most of them only had 2.

Individual elites can have 4 doors.

A year ago, there was a guy whose army had a lot of artillery. The Japanese suffered too much from the lack of firepower and developed a phobia of lack of firepower.

In order to strengthen the firepower, some infantry brigades have up to 8 Type 4 infantry guns, and generally more than [-] guns.

There are 8 doors in this brigade.

Having learned from the past, the Japanese did not dare to push the cannon into the open space, but hid behind the mound of soil.

Although it may be slightly inaccurate, it is better than safety.

And the 4 cannons are scattered in 4 different places.

This kind of gun is relatively advanced in this era.

Its advancement is not reflected in its firepower; it is in its lightness, durability, and ease of use.

It can shoot both flat and curved.

The gun body is short and easy to hide.

The total weight is only over [-] kilograms, roughly the weight of two fat men. Not the fat man dumped in Nagasaki.

No matter whether it is a two-legged animal or a four-legged animal, it can be pulled.

They can also be disassembled, transported separately, and reassembled before use.

"Bang bang bang" several cannon sounds.

Immediately afterwards, the original hiding place of our shooter turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The enemy's artillery fire was still very accurate.

For ordinary armies in this era, when the Japanese use the 92 infantry cannon, our army often "only hears its sound but does not see its shadow."

The location of the Japanese artillery can only be judged by sound and gun smoke.

But the infantry battalions of my independent brigade all had artillery reconnaissance and positioning radars, and they quickly determined the location of the Japanese artillery.

If it were an artillery radar in the [-]s and [-]s, the one that detects howitzers and mortars are not the same.

The Japanese's 92 infantry cannon fires like a mortar.

However, our military’s radar has long ago achieved full coverage of all types of artillery shells, and even drones and helicopters can monitor them.

During the first round of Japanese shelling, our army caught the artillery position; in the second round of shelling, our army had adjusted its artillery; and in the third round of shelling, our army simultaneously ushered in a counterattack.

To deal with the Japanese infantry artillery hiding behind the cover, our army used 120mm mortar shells.

Use high angle shots.

Regarding the question of which mortar or howitzer of the same caliber is more lethal, there are two opinions:

The first:

In terms of feel, howitzers of the same caliber tend to be more powerful and majestic, while mortars are relatively small and exquisite. It seems that howitzers are more powerful than mortars.

But in fact, because the howitzer needs a range, the shells must be able to adapt to high chamber pressure, and the walls must be made thicker;

The mortar has a low bore pressure and the wall is thinner.

If the wall is thinner, more explosives can be loaded, and the explosion will be more powerful.

Therefore, mortars of the same caliber often have a larger effective killing range than howitzers.

实测120榴弹炮有效杀伤范围是20米乘60米的长条形；120迫击炮的有效杀伤范围是25米为半径的圆形。

Based on this calculation, the killing area of ​​a howitzer is 1200 square meters; and that of a mortar is close to 2000 square meters.

The second statement:

The 120 howitzer shell has a charge of 5 kg; and the mortar shell has two versions: 1.3 kg and 1.6 kg.

Judging from the pictures found, the howitzer shells are also larger.

Therefore, its damage effect should be greater than that of a howitzer than a mortar.

The second statement is adopted here.

The reason why less powerful mortar shells are used is because the Japanese infantry artillery hides behind the soil slope and requires a larger elevation angle and a more curved trajectory.

Our army used 4 self-propelled mortars, each of which fired 3 shells.

Some of the Japanese's four 4-inch infantry guns were directly hit; some shells fell nearby.

None of the gunners survived.

Three of the four guns were completely damaged.

The Japanese captain was angry: "Baga! Who said there are only 100 vehicles on Haqi Road? No one saw such a big heavy artillery?"

The puppet army felt aggrieved, but did not dare to speak out. He thought to himself: "There are really only 100 vehicles. A vehicle with a gun barrel, tracks, and armor is not a vehicle. Is it you who insists on imagining a vehicle? Like an ox cart!"
