Almost at the same time, the mortar team's 20 Grw34 mortars opened fire at the same time, stirring up a cloud of dust and causing the surrounding trees to sway and almost collapse.
The extremely fast mortar shells flew towards the three armored vehicles from different angles and trajectories. The mortar shells flew over the heads of the island army soldiers and exploded around the armored vehicles.
The four-man squad in charge of operating the mortars did not stop at all. The gunners had already calculated the distance and trajectory in advance. Even if there was a slight deviation in the landing point, it would not be a problem given that each armored vehicle could get nearly seven mortars.
As long as the landing point was too far off, the armored vehicles that were bombarded on the mountain road would almost always stop in an emergency and fire two more shots to adjust.
The busiest and most impatient people became the loading crew. Because the area that could be expanded in the mountainous area was relatively small, there were only twenty spare bombs piled up near each platoon, not even a base number.
Gu Xun didn't even need to emphasize that. Those who were familiar with the regimental commander's style and were used to the luxurious training life without lacking ammunition all knew that under such circumstances, the regimental commander basically only had one order:
Under the condition of ensuring accuracy, empty all the shells in the shortest time possible!
The theoretical firing rate of the Grw-34 was 25 rounds per minute. Even though some of the teams had re-measured the distance and fine-tuned the angle, the mortar team, which had been fully trained for more than half a year, still fired more than 300 shells in one minute.
When had the armored vehicles of the island army, which had thin skin and thick armor, ever seen such firepower density?
On average, each armored vehicle was hit by more than a hundred mortar shells. Even though a large portion of the mortar shells hit the ground nearby, the armored vehicles were still blown into a pile of blackened parts.
As for the members inside, not even a complete corpse was left behind.
The infantry of the island army, who had been following the armored vehicles and had planned to play a low-level infantry and tank coordination during the battle, also suffered the same fate. The area near the three armored vehicles had become a completely uninhabited area.
Gu Xun, who was observing the battle through binoculars with only his head exposed, sighed."
The roar of the mortars became the signal to open fire. The soldiers of the 369th Regiment heard the loud sound of the 20 mortars and immediately opened fire on the selected targets.
The grenade launchers of each squad did not fire at the highest speed like they did against the puppet army. This time, the 369th regiment did not want to stun the island army, but to annihilate them all.
The effective range of the Type 8 - 9 Grenade was 500 meters. All the Grenade Grenaders were firing at the place where the island's army was the most concentrated.
Since all the grenade launchers had chosen to target the same few places, the other island troops had managed to escape for the time being.
Of course, in the places where dozens of grenade launchers were thrown, the fate of the island army soldiers was similar to that of the three armored vehicles. Anyway, they were all returned to the state of parts.
Gu Xun squatted behind the mountain rock and continued to comment,
"The firepower shouldn't be so concentrated, but this is the first round of bombardment, so it's normal. There's no need and no way to correct it.”
As Gu Xun looked at the three armored vehicles that were blown to the side of the road and burned with black parts, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"I originally wanted to use them to block the road, but their firepower was too fierce.”
The three disabled armored vehicles in the middle of the road could limit the range of movement of the island army, making it impossible for them to advance or retreat.
But…
What could a pile of broken parts do?
It seemed that it was necessary to instruct the mortar team in advance next time. It was enough. There was no need to blow up the armored vehicles of the island army.
At the foot of the mountain, the island's army displayed their top-notch quality as the main battle force the moment they were attacked. Although they were stunned by the unprecedented firepower of the Chinese army, no one panicked and stood there waiting for death.
After dodging the first round of artillery fire, the island army immediately rushed to the bunker at the foot of the mountain, ready to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
The grenade launchers of the island army were indeed the core of the island army. The moment they hid behind cover, they immediately set up the grenade launchers and prepared to counterattack the Chinese army lying in ambush on the mountain.
To be fair, even with the brutal training of Regiment 369 for half a year, the grenade launchers could not reach such a level of operation.
Unfortunately, the 369th Regiment had more people, more guns, and even ten times more grenade launchers than the island army!
The grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment had the deepest understanding of the threat of their Japanese counterparts, because they themselves were equal to the machine gun squad in the 369th Regiment.
Therefore, after the first round of shells was fired, the curved firing net formed by more than 400 grenade launchers immediately turned its attention to its Japanese counterparts.
Hiding behind cover might be a little tricky for rifles and machine guns, but for grenade launchers, it only increased the difficulty of operation.
Grenade launchers were miniature mortars! It could bypass boulders and hills through curved trajectories and directly hit the heads of the enemies hiding behind!
