Chapter 600 Encountered an Ambush

Wooden handle grenade! When Amor saw this thing under his feet, he was shocked, and without any hesitation, he bent down, picked up the grenade, and threw it at it.

There is no doubt that this grenade was definitely thrown from above, and now, he can only throw it back at the fastest speed!

In the dazzling sunlight, Amor saw that the grenade flew up the hillside with a graceful arc. He could become an infantryman in the armored division. His physical fitness was good. His actions when facing danger, It unleashed his potential.

"Gululu..." The grenade did fly up, but when it landed on the hillside, it rolled down again!

Damn it! There was no time for Amor to throw it out for the second time. As soon as he turned around, he hid behind a stone, followed by a loud bang.

Countless pieces flew over and flew over his head. At this moment, he thought he was about to die.

Fortunately, he was unscathed!

At the same time, this explosion also means the arrival of a fierce battle!

Amor put his rifle on the stone and began to aim in the direction of the top of the mountain, ready to fire.

"Da da da." At this moment, just above their heads, the sound of machine guns had already sounded, and with the sound of gunfire, the Italian army, which was climbing up the hillside, fell down in an instant.

Of course, not all people were shot down by bullets. Some people slipped and fell after hearing the sound of gunfire. Some people wanted to find something nearby that was covered.

In short, the sound of shooting from the top of the hill made the Italian army quite nervous.

Amor couldn't raise his head. He touched his rifle and waited until the sound of the other side's gunfire stopped before finally sticking his head out and firing a shot upwards.

Of course it doesn't make any sense. Most of this way of shooting has to be shot, and even if it can't fly, it doesn't have much combat effectiveness.

Because the rifles they use are not powerful enough.

In this era, the rifles of various countries are made according to their own national standards. Germany uses 7.92mm caliber, Britain uses 7.7mm caliber, and Italy uses 6.5mm caliber.

Yes, the caliber of Italian rifles is almost smaller than others, which leads to a serious lack of power of their rifles. For example, the effective range of their rifles is only 300 meters. Discounted.

Even Germany chose 6.8mm when choosing a new generation of caliber, while the 6.5mm caliber that Italy has always used is too small.

They were pinned on the hillside, not daring to rush upwards, and below, General Messer also had a black face.

Just like his guess, the French border guards set up an ambush position on the top of the mountain. If it is not expected, the traffic arteries of the mountain pass must also be laid with anti-tank mines.

However, the sound of gunshots on the top of the mountain was not violent, which showed that the opponent's manpower was not large at all, but his own troops were suppressed and did not dare to rush up!

If it is replaced by the German army, it will rush directly!

"Retreat first, artillerymen, and launch an artillery attack on the enemy's position on the top of the mountain." Major General Messer gave the order.

Now, even if he drives behind him, these infantrymen can't risk their lives to rush up. Anyway, there are artillerymen behind their own side, first bombard the opponent once, and then charge!

Half an hour later, the division's artillery was finally ready.

This can't be blamed for the artillery's inconvenience. Although they are armored divisions, the main L3 tanks are only 20 kilometers per hour. At the same time, they do not have any self-propelled artillery, all of which are towed artillery.

When these cannons were unloaded from the car and deployed, it wasted a long time. Half an hour was not a long time to calculate and launch Zhu Yuan, etc.

"Boom!" The 105mm field gun fired its own shells towards the opposite mountain top.

The 1913-style 105mm field gun, which was developed by Ansaldo and Schneider, was produced in Italy and France, and the output was considerable. This is also the most common field gun in the Italian army.

Unfortunately, it has a history of more than 30 years and belongs to a kind of master-level artillery. Looking at the tires on both sides, they are still solid tires, but they are actually just a piece of rubber, with thick iron wheels inside. At the same time, its gun tail is also a single open foot.

Now, most of the artillery has two open feet and two legs, which are spread out to both sides, so that when the artillery is firing, it is easy to fix it, and at the same time, it is easy to change the shooting angle.

However, the Italian artillery is still sticking to the tradition, which is also related to the terrain of Italy. If we talk about the advantages of opening one foot, it is convenient to change the march.

With the roar, gunpowder smoke filled the muzzle, and the 105mm artillery shell landed on the mountainside. If the Italian army did not retreat just before the artillery was fired, it would definitely fall on them!

"Raise the angle of elevation by one degree!" the gunner shouted loudly. He knew just now that the target would not be too high, so the first shot was just a test shot.

The second shot, of course, will be more accurate!

"Boom!" The 105mm shell, with the hope of the Italian artillery, flew over. This time, as expected, it flew over the top of the mountain and hit the backside of the mountain.

Long shot!

"Lower the elevation angle by three points and adjust a close position to the right!" The gunner continued to command in an orderly manner.

Want to hit, is it that easy? If you think it's easy to fire a cannon, you take command! At this time, the artillery commander was not discouraged at all, and no one in the entire Italian artillery could make the first hit.

"Boom!" Finally, the third shell finally hit the top of the mountain! This time, Zhu Yuan was shot correctly!

"Artillery regiment, pay attention, three rounds!" shouted the gunner. At this time, he is extremely proud. He is the gunner of the test firing, that is to say, his technology is the first in the entire artillery regiment. Now, he has tested various data, other wild guns , just follow his shooting Zhu Yuan, fine-tune it, and you can fire!

"Boom, boom!" There was a deafening sound of firing from the artillery position, and black smoke rose from the muzzle, and the entire artillery position was filled with gunpowder smoke.

The shells of the 105mm field guns flew towards the opposite mountain top, and at least 50% of the shells were hit! Immediately, the above was lively, and the constantly rising stones and dust showed that the French above must be suffering from pain.

Finally, the voice subsided, and there was no movement on the top of the mountain. Holding the telescope, Messer looked at the situation on the top of the mountain, and then gave the order: "Infantry regiment, rush up!"
