At this moment, on the wall of Guanghua Gate, Zhou Weiguo was looking at the artillery moving in the distance through the binoculars.
"Xu Hu, do you have the confidence to wipe out those devils?”Zhou Weiguo passed the binoculars to Xu Hu and pointed at the Japanese artillery position.
Xu Hu raised his binoculars and shook his head.""Regiment Commander, it's too far. It's at least 800 meters away. Although the range of the rifle is enough, after 500 meters, the bullet will float up.”
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the base to produce more sniper rifles. With one sniper rifle in hand, the artillery would have been easily dealt with.
It was impossible for him to do it alone. The Japanese artillery squadron had more than a hundred people. Once they were attacked, they would definitely shift their positions.
"Regiment Commander, the four mortars we brought can be used.”Xu Hu couldn't help but say when he saw Zhou Weiguo's troubled face.
"Now is not the time yet. The Japanese have yet to launch an infantry assault. We can't move the mortars. You have to know that once our mortars fire, the Japanese will definitely mobilize their artillery to suppress us. With just a few dozen shells, we can't afford to engage in an artillery battle with the Japanese. We can only wait for the critical moment to attack.”Zhou Weiguo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
How could he not know how to use mortars to take out the enemy's artillery? However, he was not as strong as the enemy, so he could only watch.
"Then what should we do?" Xu Hu said anxiously.
"Wait for an opportunity!" Zhou Weiguo said gloomily.
Unfortunately, the time was too short. If he had a few more days, how could the Japanese be so arrogant?
"Regimental Commander, the Japanese's artillery position is moving forward.”Xu Hu suddenly shouted.
When Zhou Weiguo picked up the binoculars to observe, he realized that the Japanese soldiers in the artillery position had actually left the predetermined position and were pushing the artillery toward the city wall with all their might.
"F * cking Japanese, you're really arrogant. You dare to move forward in my shooting range. Do you really not put me in your eyes?”Zhou Weiguo was so angry that his face turned red.
"Xu Hu." Zhou Weiguo turned around and shouted.
"Here!"
"Tell the machine gunners of the guard platoon to fire immediately when the Japanese's artillery is pushed to about 600 meters. I'm going to make these arrogant Japanese drink a pot of water.”Zhou Weiguo pointed at the advancing Japanese artillery.
"Yes, sir!" Xu Hu replied. At the same time, he stuck his head out of the city and looked at the Japanese artillery that was moving in the distance. He said with some difficulty,"There are only two machine guns.”
"Idiot, do you think my sniper rifle is useless?”Zhou Weiguo glared at him and scolded.
"Let our marksmanship brothers aim at the officers above the rank of sergeant and shoot. Try to kill the veterans.”Zhou Weiguo reminded him again.
"Yes, sir!" Xu Hu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The Japanese artillery continued to move forward, and even the artillery fire was interrupted.
Moving forward was for better shooting, considering the height of the city wall and the angle of the infantry cannons.
The closer they were to the enemy's position, the lower the angle of the shot, and the greater the power.
This was because the cannonballs had an initial speed, and the difference in their final landing speed was very large.
The friction with the air would reduce the speed of the cannon, so moving forward would increase the power of the infantry cannon.
There was also a reason why the artillery squadron dared to move the artillery forward. The effective range of the rifle was as high as 1,000 meters, but that was in a vacuum. Considering reality, 500 meters was the limit for ordinary rifles.
This was because this was the limit of what the naked eye could see. If it was equipped with a sniper rifle, the range might increase.
However, he was betting that there were no snipers on the other side. Moreover, Colonel Yamashita had already given a death order. If he did not blow up the wall of the Chinese people, he would have to commit suicide.
In addition, the Chinese artillery that posed a threat to them did not move.
The exposed firing points were all determined by him, which was why he dared to order his subordinates to push the cannons forward.
According to his calculations, this was a safe advance, but he did not know that the commander on the other side had changed.
"Listen to my orders. Wait until the Japanese start to set up new artillery positions before firing.”Zhou Weiguo continued to shout.
"Yes." The soldiers of the guard platoon trusted Zhou Weiguo unconditionally because they firmly believed that the regiment commander was invincible.
Time passed quickly. The Japanese artillery moved to a new position and began to set up their positions in an orderly manner.
Seeing how arrogant the devil was, Zhou Weiguo was amused. He thought to himself, Damn it, do they really treat me like air?
"Beat them up! Beat up these bastards!”Following Zhou Weiguo's order.
The machine gunner pulled the trigger, and a flame immediately shot towards the Japanese artillery position. The Japanese soldiers who were setting up artillery positions were directly killed and injured by machine guns.
At the same time, the sniper rifle in Zhou Weiguo's hand was not idle either. A Japanese team leader who was instructing them to adjust the coordinates entered his line of sight.
"Ding!" A crisp gunshot rang out as a high-speed spinning bullet shot straight into the Japanese captain's head.
"Bang!" The Japanese's head exploded like a watermelon. Red and white splattered all over the place.
