Mortars were a type of artillery with curved firing capabilities. Their trajectories were relatively curved, and they could shoot from one side of the mountain to the other. The ability to flip mountains was the strength of mortars. Other types of artillery, including howitzers, were extremely difficult to accomplish.
In the Battle of Death Valley, the mortar that the new regiment had seized was a 60mm mortar. It was a small cannon with a simple structure, strong mobility, and fast firing speed. It could be used as a companion weapon for infantry, guerrilla, and special operations.
Ye Chen was no stranger to the Type 60 mortar. In fact, he was very familiar with it.
When he was still a soldier of the Central Army, his initial position was the squad leader of the artillery squad.
At this moment, he adjusted the mortar and scanned the bandits 'camp in the dark.
Soon, he found his target.
That was the bandit's machine gunner position, which posed a huge threat to his new regiment.
Especially Yu Rong and Cui Dasheng, they were greatly suppressed.
In fact, if nothing unexpected happened, there were already casualties on the other side.
Jordan had already sentenced the Machine Gunner to death!
After discovering the bandit's machine gunner, Ye Chen quickly adjusted the mortar.
At a certain moment, he said without looking back.
"Cannons!"
Old Yan, who was already prepared, handed the cannonball to Ye Chen without hesitation.
Ye Chen skillfully placed the shell into the mortar barrel.
"Boom!"
A crisp sound of firing rang out, and the mortar immediately emitted a cloud of smoke.
Immediately after, a 60-caliber mortar shell flew into the sky.
Old Yan, Third Baby, and Er Mao's eyes widened as they followed suit.
At the same time, Li Yunlong, who was constantly watching Ye Chen, was also staring at Ye Chen's target with anticipation in his eyes.
They wanted to catch the cannonball, but with the speed of their eyes, they could not keep up with the speed of 60 forcings.
Boom!
In less than a second, everyone who was paying attention to this attack saw the bandits 'machine gun position suddenly burst into flames.
The Machine Gunner, along with his machine gun, soared into the air.
Then, it crashed onto the ground with a thud.
Although he didn't know how badly the Machine Gunner and the machine gun had been beaten up.
However, it was certain that it would be shattered. It was impossible for him to live!
"Wow, I hit it, I hit it!"
Whether it was Old Yan or Third Baby, everyone who saw this scene immediately shouted and cheered, their excitement overflowing.
Li Yunlong punched the snow in front of him. A bright smile appeared on his dark face.
"Good kid, you even know how to fire cannons. I, Old Li, have underestimated you!”
Li Yunlong sighed. How could Ye Chen know everything at such a young age?
What other moves did he not reveal?
The way he looked at Ye Chen again was filled with anticipation!
"Cannons!"
Ye Chen's expression was calm. He was not proud of hitting his target, nor did he become smug because of everyone's praise. His face remained indifferent.
In fact, in the past three years, he had been bombarded with such precision too many times.
From the initial excitement, he was now used to it.
Jordan was already a seasoned veteran of World War II!
Soon, he found his next target.
The gathering place of bandits!
There were more than a dozen bandits squeezed together, making them the best targets for him to attack.
Old Yan, who was standing at the side, did not dare to be negligent. Other than admiration, there was also respect on his face.
He quickly handed a cannonball to Ye Chen.
"Boom!"
The same artillery shell, the same mortar, and the same operation were executed smoothly. Soon, a shell was sent into the group of bandits.
Boom!
······
At the back of the mountain, in front of the cliff.
Zhang Dabiao had brought eight or nine soldiers and hid here.
Hearing the dense gunfire and the lively shouts, many soldiers looked forward to it.
"Battalion Commander, why did the Vice Regiment Commander leave us here?”
"It's so lively fighting inside. I'm really starving!”
A soldier rubbed his hands and complained.
"What are you talking about? I told you to wait here, just wait!”
Zhang Dabiao put out the cigarette he had just finished smoking and threw it away. He scolded impatiently.
In fact, Zhang Dabiao was also puzzled.
He did not know what was so good about this godforsaken place. Why did Ye Chen want him to guard this place?
Moreover, he had also strictly ordered himself not to let anyone escape without permission.
Even if this person said that he was an ordinary citizen, he could not let him go.
No matter who it was, if they dared to barge in, he would capture them and hand them over to him.
Could it be that bandits had really escaped from here?
How was this possible?
It was late at night.
Who would…
"Battalion Commander, is there a situation?"
At this moment, a warrior suddenly pointed at a black figure running towards them and said in a low voice.
"Sure enough, there's someone. The vice captain is really godly!”
Zhang Dabiao was shocked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide and catch this sneaky person.
"F * ck, it's indeed a battalion of troops with mortars?”
Xie Baoqing thought to himself as he ran.
He could hear the shouts, the gunfire, and especially the unique explosions of mortars.
He immediately understood that his judgment was correct.
The 8th Route Army had dispatched a battalion to encircle and suppress his Black Cloud Stronghold.
This was to completely get rid of him!
He regretted it!
"I shouldn't have hijacked the supplies of the Eighth Route Army.”
" Fortunately, I decisively chose…"
"Stop, don't move, raise your hands!”
Xie Baoqing was secretly glad that he was smart enough to escape first.
A black muzzle was pointed at his head.
With a cold explosion, seven or eight soldiers wearing the Eighth Route Army uniform appeared around him.
Xie Baoqing was dumbfounded!
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be attacking the Black Cloud Stronghold head-on?”
"How did you know that I, Xie Baoqing, would escape from here?”
Xie Baoqing stopped stammering and couldn't help but scream.
" What?!"
" You're the bandit leader, Xie Baoqing?!"
This time, it was Zhang Dabiao's turn to be shocked!
