Chapter 1670 The Devil Is Playing Evil

In fact, there is a reason why the physical fitness of these devils suddenly became stronger, but Ye Tian regarded it as a surgical operation.

The reason is very simple, manpower is limited.

Repeatedly squeezing physical fitness to the limit will lead to two situations.

First, people with poor physical fitness and average physical fitness will be exhausted to vomit blood.

Even, they will be exhausted to death.

Therefore, in many peacetime troops, even if there is no battle, but just a simple long-distance load-bearing cross-country training, there is also a death index.

Obviously, these death indicators came out because the officers thought of the problem of physical fitness squeezing.

Second, in this kind of extremely heavy physical training and combat, some soldiers with strong physical fitness and super strong physical fitness will not be exhausted to death.

However, although they will not die, their physical health will be seriously affected.

If they do this for a long time, they will develop various diseases.

Even their life span will be greatly reduced.

In fact, let alone soldiers who often do high-intensity training, especially high-intensity training, even athletes who often train and compete in their youth are not in good physical condition when they get older.

On the one hand, they will get various diseases such as arthritis.

The most important thing is that compared with ordinary people, their life span is generally very short.

Yes, manpower is sometimes limited, and it is strange that they will not get sick and their life span will not be affected if they often squeeze their physical strength?

Thinking of this, when Ye Tian looked at this devil brigade again, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of murderous intent.

The physical fitness of these devils has improved a lot. Obviously, their existence is a great threat to the various anti-Japanese armed forces and even the Chinese people.

Can't stay!

Even if they get sick or even die early in the future, they can't stay.

Besides, before they get sick or even die, they will definitely kill and injure many Chinese people.

With this thought, the murderous intent on Ye Tian's face became more and more intense.

However, Ye Tian did not take action immediately, but continued to observe closely.

Those booby traps haven't played a certain role yet, so there's no need for us to enter combat too early.

"Huh?"

Looking at these devils, Ye Tian suddenly widened his eyes.

Ye Tian suddenly discovered that these devils were not all pure infantry.

In their hands and on their bodies, they all held various parts of the Type 92 infantry gun.

If they are not devil artillery, what are they?

Damn it!

In order to deal with me, the devils actually started to play evil!

Seeing this, Ye Tian was a little surprised, but he also quickly thought of a reasonable explanation.

Cannons can fire directly, because the barrel is long, the speed of the shells can be pushed faster before they leave the barrel, so the range is longer.

In large-scale battles in the field, cannons are the main guns often used by many troops.

Therefore, in many cases, the field guns often refer to cannons.

Howitzers can fire in a curved manner, and the barrel is not very long, because the initial velocity of the shells after leaving the barrel is average, so the range is short.

And the mountain guns equipped in large numbers in the devil's troops are a kind of light howitzers.

This kind of mountain gun has strong mobility because of its light weight.

And because mountain guns can bend and the trajectory is curved, they can be used in complex terrains such as mountains.

In addition to cannons and howitzers, there is another kind of cannon.

This kind of cannon is called a mortar.

Mortars are also indirect-fire artillery, but they are lighter, simpler in structure, easier to operate, and cheaper than howitzers...

Therefore, like mountain guns, mortars can be used in almost any complex terrain.

At the same time, during battles, they can better conceal their own side and avoid being hit by the enemy.

However, before the mortar fires the shells, the shells must be inserted from the muzzle first, and the tail must be relied on to maintain balance during firing to hit the target.

Obviously, this deployment makes the mortar very general in accuracy, so the accuracy is a bit poor.

However, despite these shortcomings, mortars are still very useful.

The reason is simple. Compared with heavy artillery such as howitzers, the power of mortars is not inferior at all.

Of course, if we compare the penetration of shells, mortars are definitely not as good as howitzers, especially cannons.

For example, mortars are useless against tanks, armored vehicles and other protected equipment.

However, when bombing unprotected infantry, the lethality of mortar shells can be perfectly demonstrated.

To be precise, mortar shells have a larger killing area for mortar shells and howitzer shells of the same caliber.

And this multiple can be doubled!

However, when destroying trenches, these two types of artillery that can be indirect fire are not very powerful.

Of course, cannons that can be directly fired are even less powerful when destroying trenches.

Cannons are direct-fire artillery, and it is difficult to hit trenches, so how can we talk about lethality?

Another point is that in terms of manufacturing cost, mortar shells are much lower than howitzer shells.

In a word, although howitzers and mortars are both indirect-fire artillery, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, in the troops that are qualified and capable of equipping these two types of artillery, they are used in combination, rather than favoring one over the other.

To be precise, no one can replace the other.

In Ye Tian's mind, the infantry artillery combines almost all the advantages of howitzers, mortars, and even cannons.

There is a generally accepted saying about the effect of infantry guns:

An inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.

Although the infantry gun has a small caliber, far less than a cannon, or even a howitzer, it is also a rifled barrel gun, so its trajectory is more stable than that of a mortar.

In addition, the infantry gun has a longer range.

It even has a certain anti-armor capability.

When playing with high-angle curved shooting, the infantry gun can be used as a mortar.

Of course, because it has to follow the infantry battalion-level units to charge and break through, the infantry gun is not suitable for being designed too heavy.

Among all the infantry guns, Ye Tian admires the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun.

The weight of the whole gun is only more than 400 kilograms.

Therefore, the transportation requirements of the Type 92 infantry gun are very low.

In the case of not being suitable for deploying vehicles, in various complex terrains, the Type 92 infantry gun can be disassembled and transported by people or horses.

Among various complex terrains, mountains are a greater test of the transportation capacity of the troops.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for the Type 92 infantry gun.

In addition, the Type 92 infantry gun has many advantages:

Such as simple structure, easy production, use, and maintenance.

It is precisely because it can ignore the road conditions and the requirements for road conditions are seriously reduced that the infantry gun can unconditionally follow the infantry battalion to charge.

Among the Japanese troops, almost every infantry battalion with a thousand people will be equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns.

Another advantage of the Type 92 infantry gun is that it is very short.

With the shield, it is about 60 cm high.

Without the shield, it is half a meter high.

This height is actually about the same as a heavy machine gun.

Therefore, during the battle, the Type 92 infantry gun can be easily hidden.

There is no doubt that this is a big advantage.
